Chapter 216: The Widow's Bridge (continued)
The Czech-style machine guns of the combat company and the two 38 big covers of Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong constituted the firepower of this Eighth Route Army to suppress the Japanese army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Our army was good at night combat and close combat, and as soon as the Japanese light machine guns were silent, the three platoons of the combat company immediately continued to pounce on the Japanese troops.
Mei Ying acted as an observer, directing Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong to shoot, one moment in the direction of 12 o'clock, one moment in the direction of 9 o'clock, and one moment in the direction of 8 o'clock.
Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong are not snipers of Xiao Siming's level, they are sharpshooters in the army at best, and it is naturally impossible to give the little devil a headshot, but at a distance of 300 meters, they can basically shoot a gun, at least three shots and two hits.
The machine guns of the Japanese puppet army could not exert their firepower, and the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army were called very cheerfully, covering the soldiers to rush forward.
The Japanese puppet army has only 100 people, basically half of the devil and half of the puppet army, and in terms of strength, it is about the same as the combat company. But the Eighth Route Army wanted revenge, and the will to fight was strong, and the soldiers rushed up and threw away the grenades, and the rumbling explosions came one after another, and the smoke and dust of the explosions were everywhere.
The little devil has high fighting quality, accurate guns, far-reaching grenades, and high stabbing skills. Although there were only forty or fifty men, and the shooters and assistant shooters of the two machine guns were killed and wounded one after another, they still fought to the death.
After the Eighth Route Army rushed up, the remaining little devils did not retreat but advanced, raised their bayonets, screamed wah, and met them viciously.
Suddenly, the Eighth Route Army and the little devils got together and started a tragic white-knuckle battle.
The most hateful thing is the puppet army, who didn't run away, and pounced on the Eighth Route Army after the little devil.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the regular troops of the North China puppet army were all drawn from the puppet Manchu army, the puppet Mongolian army, and the puppet eastern Hebei security team, and the local troops of the puppet army were all county garrisons composed of local ruffians and bandits who were snare by the Japanese army. Whether it is a pseudo-regular army or a pseudo-local garrison, they are all vicious dogs and outlaws raised by the Japanese army, and they are extremely superstitious about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, and they are not soft on fighting the Chinese army and killing the Chinese.
After the two armies fought together, due to the strong penetration of the 38 big cover, it was easy to cause accidental injuries, Mei Ying, Zhang Quanshun, and Chen Zhong could no longer stay in place and shoot accurately, so they rushed directly and fought close with the Japanese puppet army.
After Mei Ying, Zhang Quanshun, and Chen Zhong rushed up, they did not fight with the Japanese puppet army with bayonets like other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but Mei Ying was in the center, Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong were one left and one right, one Wang Ba box, and two twenty-shot barge guns, and they were on fire to the Japanese puppet army with fierce eyes and strange screams.
The German-made 20-shot barge gun is a sharp weapon in melee combat, and its firepower is fierce. In close combat, two 20-round shell guns were fired alternately, equivalent to two Czech light machine guns. Coupled with Mei Ying's Wang Ba box, a melee assault arrow was formed in an instant, and the blocker was invincible!
The people of Liangdu Village didn't react at first, and they all stood there honestly, watching the tragic battle scene in front of them in horror. It didn't take long for the local cadres who were probably hiding among the villagers to react, shouting "Folks, kill the devils", and took the lead in pounceing on the little devils and the puppet army.
At this time, the villagers reacted, and with their bare hands, they rushed towards the Japanese puppet army.
The situation on the battlefield was completely reversed in an instant, and the people who pounced on them pounced on those devils and puppet soldiers with red eyes, and the method adopted was very primitive, that is, to roll to the ground with the devils and puppet army!
With the help of so many fellow villagers, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army became more and more courageous, shooting and poking with bayonets, killing the Japanese puppet army with blood all over the ground.
The remnants of the Japanese puppet army could no longer hold on and began to flee to Liangdu Village.
At this moment, several motorcycle lights suddenly lit up on the Fen River at the west end of the Widow's Bridge, illuminating the battlefield at the east end of the Widow's Bridge at once!
Immediately afterwards, searchlights were also lit up in the Japanese puppet army stronghold on the east side of the railway in Liangdu Village on the east bank of the Fen River, and the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold was dispatched to reinforce the battlefield at the east end of the widow's bridge.
In an instant, the situation on the battlefield reversed, and this became a trap laid by the Japanese puppet army!
Company Commander Song of the Combat Company gasped, and instantly understood that the Japanese puppet army was going to fish here, and he accidentally stepped in!
The situation was extremely critical, and there was no time to ask for instructions, so Company Commander Song ordered to stop the pursuit, led a platoon to block on the spot, and asked the instructor to lead two platoons to cover the cadres and fellow villagers to retreat north of Liangdu Village along the original road!
When the Japanese puppet army was defeated and retreated, Mei Ying led Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong to join the ranks of chasing and destroying, and when she was fighting, she saw that the searchlight of the devil's stronghold in the east suddenly turned on, and she immediately realized that it was not good, and just shouted "lie down", the heavy machine gun of the Japanese army in the stronghold swept over, and a bullet flew in, and her military hat was knocked away, and her hair was scattered.
Mei Ying was so frightened that she screamed "Mom" and crawled to the ground.
Before Mei Ying could react again, the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold had already been killed.
As soon as the order to retreat was given, the pursuing troops stopped the pursuit and began to retreat. But those fellow villagers can't do it, they are all ordinary people, they have no combat experience, and when they saw that the Japanese puppet army was counterattacking, they were stunned and ran away.
As soon as the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold was dispatched, the remnants of the Japanese puppet army who were fleeing came to their senses, stopped running, turned around and shot wildly, chasing and killing the retreating Eighth Route Army and the people who had run away. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army said that they were elite troops who served as escort chiefs and cadres, and they had rich combat experience and knew how to use the terrain to cover themselves, and those ordinary people who fled were different, no matter how fast they ran, they could not catch up with the speed of bullets. For a time, blood flowed on the river beach at the east end of the widow's bridgehead.
As soon as she saw this situation, Mei Ying ordered Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong to block the counterattacking Japanese puppet army on the spot and cover the masses.
Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong each fired only three shots, and the shells of the Japanese puppet army on the west bank of the Fen River came over, and after a few explosions, Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong heard that these were four infantry guns firing. In other words, the Japanese army on the west bank of the Fen River should be the strength of a brigade!
Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately got up from the ground, grabbed one of Mei Ying's arms, and ran away as fast as they could.
By the time Mei Ying and the others ran to the blocking position of Song Company Commander and a platoon, the Japanese troops on the west bank of the Fen River had already rushed onto the Widow's Bridge, and the remnants of the Japanese puppet army that had just fled in the east were also hungry and pressed up.
As soon as Company Commander Song saw Mei Ying, he ordered her to retreat immediately with a black face!
The battle just now was very tragic, although the Japanese puppet army was almost wiped out, but the Eighth Route Army also paid heavy casualties, and there were only about 20 people left in the platoon.
It is impossible to stop the Japanese puppet army with this little force!
Mei Ying couldn't care about retreating, so she ordered Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong to follow her to block the attack and cover the retreat of the cadres!
The Japanese puppet army pounced, and Company Commander Song was busy directing the battle, not caring to see if Mei Ying had retreated!
Company Commander Song was a cadre from the Red Army with rich combat experience, and ordered the troops not to shoot, and put the Japanese puppet army close to fight!
The Japanese puppet armies at both ends of the widow's bridge converged, and soon caught up in the direction of the retreat of the cadres.
Seeing that the Japanese puppet army was less than 50 meters away from a platoon, Company Commander Song shouted "hit", and the shell gun in his hand was a point shot, knocking a short and strong devil soldier to the ground!
The Eighth Route Army's blocking position suddenly sounded like a burst of gunfire!
The only machine gun in the platoon only fired a shuttle, and the riflemen only fired one bullet each, and Company Commander Song shouted "Drop the bomb!" ”
More than 20 grenades and grenades flew on the first day of the blocking battle, and after the explosion, the sky was filled with smoke and dust!
Under the cover of smoke and dust from the explosions of grenades and grenades, the light machine gun, which had changed its magazine, roared again.
Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong were carrying Japanese-style small melon grenades, and with the order of Company Commander Song, the two of them quickly threw two in a row, and then raised their shell guns and swept over.
Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong have sufficient ammunition, and in this case, they will not be stingy with bullets, they are all fired continuously, and the bullets are fan-shaped and poured towards the Japanese puppet army, which is twenty rounds of continuous fire!
At a distance of 50 meters, two 20-round barge guns fired in succession, which was equivalent to two Czech machine guns!
As soon as the shuttle was finished, I heard Company Commander Song shout again: "Drop the bomb!" ”
Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong didn't think about it, grabbed the small melon grenade in front of them, knocked lightly on the handle of the barge gun, raised their hands, and threw it out.
Shooting and bombing, under the command of the old Red Army Song Company Commander, only about 20 people of the blocking force actually withstood the attack of the Japanese puppet army!
But this was only temporary, and when the third round of bombing was over and the Japanese puppet army crawled to the ground to hide, Company Commander Song shouted to retreat, and led the team to run backwards.
When Mei Ying, Zhang Quanshun, and Chen Zhong ran to their war horses, they pulled up their war horses, and were about to get on their horses, when they heard a faint shout: "Help me!" ”
The sound was made by Su Zhe, who was hit in the leg by the devil's bullet and fell in a pool of blood.
Mei Ying didn't think about it, she rushed over directly, pulled Su Zhe up and left.
Su Zhe was still shouting: "My accordion!" Bring my accordion! ”
Mei Ying didn't talk to him, dragged him to the war horse, patted the war horse's neck, and the war horse immediately knelt on the ground, Mei Ying quickly helped Su Zhe onto the war horse, and rode it herself, and then patted the horse's neck, the war horse stood up, and ran towards a row of retreats with two people on his shoulder.
The horse is fast, but the goal is large. Mei Ying didn't even run a distance of 300 meters, when she heard a wail from the war horse, she fell to the ground, and both her and Su Zhe fell to the ground.
Needless to say, the war horse was sacrificed!
Zhang Quanshun and Chen Zhong have been following Mei Ying, when Mei Ying's war horse fell to the ground and died, the two of them rushed over on horseback, bent over, one grabbed Mei Ying, the other grabbed Su Zhe, and the two of them slipped onto the war horse, and galloped wildly.
It's a pity that the target of the war horse is indeed too big, the machine gun of the Japanese puppet army swept over, and the two war horses fell to the ground and died one after another!
After a while, the bullets of the Japanese puppet army flew over like a splash, pressing several people to raise their heads. (To be continued.) )
