Chapter 543: The Blocking Battle Outside Tokyo City I

readx;?“ Get ready for battle! Liu Jinkui quickly pulled out his matching gun, slid into the trench with a slugging grunt, and repeated his orders while running around with his waist bent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Dozens of officers and men, who had just now seemed to be resting in a loose state, immediately reflexively jumped into the trenches, picked up their respective weapons, and quickly shuttled into their designated defense areas.

At the same time, the officers and men of the machine-gun and artillery squads deployed in the village also increased their vigilance and prepared for battle.

Six general-purpose machine guns were distributed among the houses on both sides of the village road, and the four general-purpose machine guns on the riverside position formed a cross-vertical and horizontal fire network.

Liu Jinkui was holding a German novel-style mirror box, commonly known as a box cannon, and he came to a foxhole, lay down with two soldiers beside him, and opened the machine with a click.

The two riflemen also pulled the bolt and pushed the cartridge into the chamber, the black muzzle aimed at the front.

In the suffocating wait, the surging Japanese army finally loomed, but the devil was very cunning and stopped outside the range of the national army.

The devil didn't know whether there was a Chinese army blocking force in front of him, but because the front was very close to the city of Tokyo and there was a river, the commander of the team only reacted out of common sense in marching operations.

Before much time passed, about a small group of Japanese troops, led by a devil squad leader, came to their side.

Seeing this, Liu Jinkui said to a rifleman next to him: "Pass my order, no one is allowed to shoot, if this group of little devils wants to cross the river, let them all go before firing, in short, everything is heard from my gunfire!" ”

The rifleman hurriedly got up and went down the traffic trench to give the order.

"Your Excellency Daisaku, there is Jinda Village in front, but the stone bridge over the river has been destroyed, and it is likely that the people of China did it." When the reconnaissance team reached the north side of the river, an adjutant reported to the Japanese commander who led the team.

The devil Osa observed the meeting with a telescope and saw that his reconnaissance team was on standby by the river. The order said: "Order the reconnaissance team to immediately find a way to cross the river and enter the village to reconnoitre!" ”

"Hay." The devil adjutant immediately bowed his head and answered, and then turned around and left.

After receiving the order, the devils who were stuck on the north bank of the small river began to act one after another.

"Platoon commander, look at the little devils really want to cross the river, there are no boats around here, and the little devils don't carry the tools to cross the river, see how they cross the river." An infantryman beside Liu Jinkui whispered when he saw this.

Liu Jinkui did not speak, but held a telescope and silently observed the devil's every move.

Through the binoculars, he was able to clearly see the faces of every ghost soldier, and years of combat experience made him understand. The battle that follows is going to be a very tough one.

The difference between the strength of the enemy and us was too great, and even if there were two platoons to defend with them, the Japanese would still be several times stronger than theirs.

However, as an iron-blooded veteran, Liu Jinkui will not feel timid because of this, as long as he has a soldier under him, he will lead him to continue fighting until the last moment.

Because he is the Northeast Army brought out by Zhang Xinghan, an iron-blooded veteran who has experienced too many bloody battles to the death.

Soon, the devil began to cross the river. However, the way they crossed the river was beyond Liu Jinkui's expectations.

The devil actually found a shoal in the river and came directly to the water, so that the role of this small river was much lower than Liu Jinkui's prediction before.

At best, it is the speed and sharpness of the devil's attack under the buffer.

Seemingly. The devil's familiarity with the terrain is still far better than that of the national army.

However, Liu Jinkui did not feel frustrated, but took a Garand semi-automatic rifle from the rifleman next to him, and quietly aimed at the Japanese second lieutenant who led the command.

It was easy to identify the devil lieutenant, and the saber he wore at his waist became the best proof of his identity.

Because it is a wading through the river. So it only took a few minutes for more than sixty devil scouts to cross the river and disperse quickly. The fan-shaped way is headed for the search on the side of Jindaecheon.

Liu Jinkui aimed at the target, pulled the trigger, and with a "snap" gunshot, a hot bullet flew into the head of the devil lieutenant at high speed.

The devil lieutenant fell in response.

The other devil soldiers were startled by the sudden gunshot, and when a frightened voice rang out from one of the devils next to the squad leader.

The originally silent Jinda Village suddenly resounded with dense gunfire, especially the popping sound like a chainsaw, which made these Japanese soldiers who had not fought with the Chinese army and hastily formed a panic.

Dense and scorching bullets rained down, and seven or eight devils fell on the spot.

The rest of the devils immediately lay down one after another, and while looking for suitable cover, they opened fire in front of them.

But all the obstacles near the river bank that could be used as cover have been cleared by Liu Jinkui and the officers and soldiers.

The number of devil soldiers is small, how can the firepower compare to Liu Jinkui's infantry platoon, and after a pair of shots, the devils who had nowhere to hide on the bank of the river were killed and wounded.

The remaining dozen or so people hurriedly turned and fled, trying to escape the north shore the way they came.

But it became the best live target for the riflemen and machine gunners of the national army.

When the last gunshot fell, the last of the devil soldiers who were about to escape from the north bank also fell into the river, becoming a floating corpse floating with the water.

This skirmish lasted only ten minutes from the beginning to the end, and the devil who led the team witnessed it the whole way.

There was not even time to transfer reinforcements.

In less than ten minutes, more than 60 people from one of his reconnaissance teams were wiped out like this? And the other side may not even have a single casualty.

The devil who led the team, Dazuo, put down the telescope in his hand with a heavy heart, turned around and walked, and fell into deep thought.

The adjutant said with great sorrow: "Your Excellency Dazuo, there is a blocking force of the Shina people on the other bank, and these cunning Shina people deliberately let the reconnaissance team cross the river and suddenly ambush them.

I beg you to immediately order your troops to launch an all-out onslaught, destroy them, and avenge the death of more than sixty Imperial warriors. ”

"Second Lieutenant Tachihara, have you noticed that the firepower of the ambush force of this Chinese army is quite strong, and I judge that their strength is at least two squadrons." Devil Dazuo frowned and said: "Send someone to notify the artillery squadron and other follow-up troops immediately, immediately speed up the march, and rush to meet us." ”

"Yes." Second Lieutenant Tachihara understood that the wing captain was planning to wait for the follow-up main force to arrive before attacking, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly bowed his head and answered, and immediately turned around and took the order to leave.

"Platoon commander, is the little devil scared by us, why hasn't there been any movement?" Half an hour later, the devil still did not attack, and a rifleman said to Liu Jinkui suspiciously.

"No, I think the devil should have been frightened by us, I don't know what we are doing, and I'm waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive." Liu Jinkui said in one sentence.

After speaking, he turned around and lay down in the trench, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it to himself, and said, "You keep an eye on it, I'll smoke a cigarette first." ”

At this time, a soldier in charge of liaison ran over along the trench cat's waist and said to Liu Jinkui: "Platoon commander, there are more than a thousand little devils on the second platoon, just like ours, after being ambushed by the second platoon commander, the devils retreated, and there has been no movement until now." ”

Liu Jinkui smoked a cigarette and said: "Hehe, Wang Mazi's old boy is shrewd like a monkey, he must be the boss who created the momentum and scared the little devil." ”

"Platoon Commander, why are you the same as Platoon Commander Wang, he also said that you are as good as a monkey." Liaison with the soldiers.

"Go, roll the calf for Lao Tzu, tell Wang Mazi that the little devil may have to transfer the artillery team later, and remind him that it is best to change the position of the machine gun position, so as not to be bombarded by the little devil to a nest." Liu Jinkui scolded with a smile and ordered.

"Yes." The liaison soldier saluted, turned and walked away.

On the Japanese position, in less than an hour, the devil soldiers, who strictly followed the infantry drills, dug up a sortie position with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

And it is constantly being improved and repaired.

The Japanese army's wing headquarters was also set up, and several devil soldiers were camouflaging above the headquarters.

Inside the headquarters, the devil Dazuo was lying in front of the map studying the battle plan.

A communications soldier stood up at this moment and saluted him: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the military district headquarters has called and ordered us to enter the city of Tokyo in three hours and join the Tokyo garrison.

Otherwise, Imoto Daisa should be seppuku to apologize. ”

Hearing this, Imoto Dasa stood up from the map with a dark face, waved his hand at the signal soldier, and asked the adjutant, "Second Lieutenant Tachihara, how long will it take for the artillery team to arrive?" ”

"Your Excellency, the artillery unit is already less than five kilometers away from us, and it is coming, and it should be ready for battle in half an hour." Second Lieutenant Tachihara hurriedly replied.

"Well, order the first brigade to prepare for the attack immediately." Imoto Daisa commanded.

"Hay!" Second Lieutenant Tachihara hurriedly bowed his head.

Half an hour passed quickly, and an artillery squadron of the Japanese armed with four Type 92 infantry guns finally arrived, and set up an artillery position as fast as possible, and calibrated the shooting Zhuyuan.

"Wing Commander, the artillery squadron is in position and ready to fire." Second Lieutenant Tachihara ordered to Osa Imoto.

Imoto Daisa immediately ordered: "Open the artillery immediately, after fifteen minutes, stop the shelling, the first brigade will attack, be sure to take Jinda Village in one fell swoop, and defeat the enemy army in front of you." ”

"Hay!"

After receiving the order, the four Type 92 infantry guns that were waiting for them immediately opened fire one after another.

"Tom tom!" After the muffled sound of the four cannon shots, the four cannonballs flew in the direction of Jindacun with a long red tail flame wrapped in dazzling fire.

Liu Jinkui looked up at the four flames that were roaring, and immediately shouted at the top of his throat: "Hide! (To be continued......)
