Chapter 64: Fight off the little devils
Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns, this is a saying that has been circulating on the battlefield for a long time.
Recruits will run away in terror when they hear the sound of cannons, increasing the chance of being hit by shrapnel.
The reason why the veterans are afraid of machine guns is simple, because at the same time as they hear the gunshots, the bullets have already hit, and few can dodge the machine gun bullets.
Liang Tieniu's machine gun squad can be called the main force of the main force, the trump card of the trump cards, three Czech light machine guns began to fire, and the devil soldiers were shot one after another.
Even if these devil soldiers are lying on the ground, the bullets from the light machine guns can still accurately hit their vital points.
The three Czech light machine guns are like the scythes of death, and they are mercilessly harvesting the lives of the devil soldiers.
A ghost soldier was killed without the slightest warning, and the ghost soldiers lying on the ground were not safe.
After the fire of light and heavy machine guns, mortars and other heavy weapons, one squadron of the attacking trenches paid dozens of casualties at this time.
The Japanese squadron leader, who was directing the attack behind, widened his eyes, and he could hardly believe the scene in front of him.
He shouted and cursed, and he swung his saber vigorously, but the more than a hundred devil soldiers were quickly defeated, and they could not overcome the trenches with great firepower.
The devil soldiers retreated quickly, and they completely forgot their previous arrogance.
Under the heavy firepower of the county brigade, the devil soldiers could not bear such casualties.
The soldiers did not miss the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and even if the devil soldiers were retreating, the soldiers were still shooting accurately.
In particular, the light and heavy machine guns and mortars of the machine gun squadron were really accurate, and almost every bullet and shell could take away the lives of Japanese soldiers.
"Liang Tieniu, your machine gun squadron didn't waste bullets in vain, you gave me an explanation in today's battle, and the captain will complain about you wasting bullets in the future, and I will be your backer." Sun Weiguo saw that the devil soldiers were repulsed, and his face was happy.
Even though he knew that Liang Tieniu and the others couldn't hear his shouts at all now, he still shouted excitedly to the back.
As the Japanese withdrew from the distance of 300 meters, the soldiers in the trenches stopped firing and they took refuge in the trenches to replenish their ammunition.
The three light machine guns and heavy machine guns quickly shifted positions, something Sun Weiguo had emphasized countless times before.
The county brigade is so valuable, Sun Weiguo can't wait to be a baby, he doesn't allow the machine gun squadron to have any losses.
"Count casualties." Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed tightly, he leaned against the wall and shouted softly.
"Twelve killed, eight seriously wounded, and nine lightly wounded." Hong Zhiqiang immediately reported the casualties.
The fierceness of the firepower of the county brigade brought heavy casualties to the Japanese army, but the firepower of the little devils was even more ferocious, and if it were not for the strong fortifications to resist, the casualties of the county brigade would have been even greater.
The Japanese retaliated as two infantry guns continued to shell exposed fire points, and heavy machine gun bullets rained down like bullets.
Ueda Kakuei's face turned pale, and when he saw that his troops had paid hundreds of casualties, he gritted his teeth fiercely, eager to eat the county brigade alive.
At this time, Kakuei Ueda's second squadron suffered nearly two squads of soldiers, heavy losses in light machine guns and grenadiers, and the second squadron had lost its combat effectiveness.
The 1st Squadron had also lost more than 20 soldiers in previous operations, which means that one infantry squadron had been killed or injured in the current operation.
Looking at the trench fortifications in Nanzhuang Village, Kakuei Ueda put down his binoculars, and he let the trumpeters blow the retreating military trumpet.
At the same time, several signal corps were also dispatched, and Kakuei Ueda called three squadron leaders to redeploy the offensive plan.
The retaliatory strikes of the Japanese army also began to stop, and several squadron leaders, along with Zhang Jiannan, came to Kakuei Ueda's side.
They gathered together and began to discuss a new plan of attack.
Taking advantage of the suspension of the Japanese attack, Sun Weiguo immediately dispatched militia to send the seriously wounded to the tunnel for treatment.
The lightly wounded were bandaged by Liu Qian's health team and continued to fight in the trenches.
"Twenty-six killed, eighteen seriously wounded, and more than 30 lightly wounded." Soon, Zhong Jian came to Sun Weiguo, and he told the total casualties of the county brigade.
"The casualties of the fourth platoon were relatively large, so the fourth platoon was withdrawn to the rear to rest, and Liu Xi's second platoon was allowed to serve as a frontal position defense. How about the cannon squadron, there were no major casualties. ”
Sun Weiguo endured the pain in his lower back, and he asked with concern, the machine gun squadron is his heart.
"Two Czech light machines, one heavy machine gun, one mortar were blown up." Zhong Jian said in a solemn tone.
"Damn little devils!" Hearing the loss of so many heavy weapons, Sun Weiguo clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed the wall hard.
His movements were so great that he tugged at his waist, and he had a pained expression on his face.
"Weiguo, are you injured?" Seeing the expression on Sun Weiguo's face, Zhong Jian said with a worried expression.
"It's okay, it's just twisted to the waist, it's not a big deal. Captain, you gather the rest of the cannon squadron. Sun Weiguo explained softly.
Zhong Jian looked at the serious expression on Sun Weiguo's face, he nodded, and hurriedly ran towards the village.
Liu Qian and the health team had arrived in the trenches and began to treat the lightly wounded.
After hearing that Sun Weiguo was injured, Liu Qian hurriedly came to Sun Weiguo, looking at the painful expression on Sun Weiguo's face, Liu Qian hurriedly squatted beside him.
"You have a sprained lower back?" Liu Qian didn't care about the difference between men and women, she directly took off Sun Weiguo's shirt and carefully checked Sun Weiguo's waist.
"Don't move." Liu Qian saw Sun Weiguo struggling, and she said sternly.
Sun Weiguo glanced at Liu Qian embarrassedly, he didn't dare to move, but said to the political commissar on the side: "Political commissar, immediately let Liu Xi's second platoon give up the trench operation, let the second platoon withdraw to the fortifications, and let the signal corps notify the cannon squadron and let them fight according to the No. 1 plan." ”
Shen Wei glanced at Sun Weiguo, she nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the side of the trench.
"It's a little hot and painful, you bear with it." Liu Qian poured the medicinal wine into her hand, and she whispered.
Immediately Liu Qian pressed her hands on Sun Weiguo's waist, Sun Weiguo didn't feel the hot pain, he felt Liu Qian's little hands rubbing gently, he had a different experience in his heart, he couldn't help but glance back at Liu Qian, but found that Liu Qian's pretty face had already turned red.
After Liu Qian rubbed Sun Weiguo, she blushed and put away her hands.
"You hurry back to the headquarters, don't move, if you leave the root of the disease, it will be troublesome." Liu Qian whispered, her eyes full of concern.
"It's much better, you should go back and treat the seriously wounded." Sun Weiguo said softly, he couldn't leave at this time.
