readx; The dense network of fire composed of ten charges and ten Czech machine guns firing at full speed set off a rain of blood in the group of devils, and patches of devils pounced like ripe wheat. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The roaring tongues of fire from the two Mark's heavy machine guns of the fireteam swept across the battlefield like two scythes of death, and the devils in the place where the fire chain passed were all cracked into a mass of flesh without exception.
Six 60-millimeter grenades screamed and slammed into the chaos, and in the continuous explosions of "boom-boom-boom," scarlet fireballs rose one after another, and the devils' mutilated limbs and gun parts flew in the air.
"Yaga!" Seeing that his three squadrons were suddenly hit by heavy fire, Miyoji Tanigawa was so angry that he was angry. "Fight back! Kill all those damned Shina people! β
The devils who had been in chaos for a while lay down one after another and fired back, and the accurate bullets also shot down the officers and soldiers of the company who were shooting one by one in the position.
The devil's crooked machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and grenadiers also began to suppress the fire points they found! Countless bullets rained down on the battlefield.
With the exception of the fire squad, which had withdrawn to the second position in time through the trenches, all ten Czech machine guns were muted, and all twenty of the main and secondary shooters fell in pools of blood.
The officers and men of the company, which had lost fire support, were soon crushed by the devils and could not move in their positions. Seeing that all the firepower of the position disappeared at once, the devils stood up one after another and rushed up at an accelerated pace.
Looking at the team with almost one-third fewer people, Tanigawa Miyoji was so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood, and the powerful firepower of the company in front of him was a bit perverted.
However, under the blow of the Great Saymoto army, all the heavy firepower of the Shina people disappeared, and now Tanigawa Miyoji firmly believed in his own judgment!
A squad of soldiers rushed to the machine gun position and gently pushed away the remains of his brother, "Squad leader, there are still six that can be used!" β
"Brothers, we must open fire, the other brothers are still waiting for fire support!" With tears in his eyes, the sergeant finally looked around at his soldiers.
The devil's various machine guns were still firing, and locust-like bullets were grazing past the position, and everyone knew the result of shooting in such a situation. No one avoided their eyes, and the sergeant laughed with relief, "Brothers, in the next life, we will fight devils together!" β
"Commander-in-chief, let the fourth company fire to support the brothers!" Glory cried and pleaded with the commander-in-chief.
Seeing that Gao Fei, who was powerless under the powerful firepower of the devils, had to order fire support several times, but he held back.
Everything in front of him was a bureau set up by Gao Fei, deliberately hiding his firepower to show weakness to the enemy, and taking advantage of the arrogance of the commander of the army to eat up this brigade.
If the fire is fired now, the commander of the army will definitely be vigilant, and may even stop the attack! And if you let the first company retreat now, the devils will follow closely and attack the second position, not to mention destroying the enemy, and you may not even be able to hold the second position!
Now everything can only look at oneself, ignoring the repeated cries of glory, Gao Fei looked at the battlefield with an expressionless face.
45 meters 40 meters 35 meters, to the predetermined position.
"The messenger blows the trumpet!" At the sound of the command, a sharp whistle sounded throughout the battlefield!
The only remaining forty soldiers of a company all picked up grenades, and now, now.
"Up!" The sergeant roared and led five soldiers to forcibly set up the machine gun in desperation.
"Da Da Da-" The silent roar of the machine gun rang out again, and three tongues of fire shot the devils who were attacking at full speed into blood gourds.
The other three soldiers fell headlong before they could hook the machine, their entire heads shattered by large-caliber bullets. Without a trace of hesitation, the three soldiers behind immediately stood on the stool, and three more chains of fire joined in the interception and strafing of the devil.
In just an instant, all the firepower of the devil was attracted, and thousands of 6.5 mm 38 rifle rounds, 6.5 mm crooked handle machine gun bullets, 7.7 mm Type 92 heavy machine gun bullets, and 50 mm grenades concentrated on one point The effect of firing at one point is to directly reduce everything, even people with guns.
Ten seconds! Nine soldiers bought this precious ten seconds for the officers and soldiers of the first company at the cost of their own lives!
"Cast!"
The charging devil suddenly found that dozens of soldiers appeared in the Zhina position, waving their hands quickly, and black clouds flew towards them.
These grenades with "coats" fell into the crowd of devils and exploded, and a series of explosions sounded, shrapnel, prefabricated anti-personnel pieces, and small stone particles roared into the devil's fragile body! The unprepared devil screamed and fell down a large piece! The living devils also fell to the ground in a daze.
"Brothers, get out!" There was no time to admire their masterpiece, and the soldiers of the company, who were still alive, took advantage of the brief opportunity to withdraw from the communication ditch to the second position with stools and the remains of their brothers.
Looking at the more than 60 officers and soldiers of the company covered in blood in front of him, Gao Fei forcibly ordered them to withdraw to the town to rest.
"Block the traffic ditch!"
The attacking devils finally rushed to the front of the first line at the cost of half the devils.
"Great! We're about to take the first line of defense of the Chinans! Miyoji Tanigawa put down the binoculars and smiled reluctantly, this smile was more ugly than crying.
"Huh! What are they sitting on? Nobi Masayi suddenly shouted, and Tanigawa Miyoji hurriedly raised the binoculars again, only to see that the more than 300 soldiers who had finally rushed to the first position were all crowded on the edge of the trench but did not jump down
"Yaga! What are they doing? Tanigawa Miyoji roared angrily.
It turned out that these devils found that this was a deep and wide position, and it was impossible to jump over a width of three meters, and if you jumped down at a depth of two meters, you couldn't shoot at all!
Just when the group of devils was thinking about whether to jump down, Goofy ordered the riflemen of the second company to shoot, and more than a hundred bullets beat the huddled devils into a ball screaming miserably.
Retreat, it's impossible, staying here can only be beaten in vain, and the battlefield commander of the devil immediately ordered the soldiers to jump off the position.
In the distance, Miyoji Tanigawa saw his warriors jumping into the first line one by one through the high-powered telescope, and a smile finally appeared on his face that had been gloomy for a long time.
However, those devils who jumped into the first position were depressed and scolded these people for having nothing to do when they were full, and digging the position so deep!
Let's come out first, the commander of the devil immediately thought of climbing out of the first position by ladder. The problem is that the devil who stepped on his accomplice was shot down by a bullet from the second position as soon as he showed his head, and after several times in a row, no devil was willing to be a live target anymore!
After paying such a big sacrifice in a row, he just wanted to lure the main force of the devil into jumping into this trap! Seeing that nearly 300 devils all jumped into the first position, Gao Fei waved his hand at the officers and soldiers of the second company who were all armed with grenades, "Throw it at me!" Blow up those dogs! β
Immediately after receiving the order from Gao Fei, an overwhelming array of locust-like grenades flew out of the second position, accurately landing in the first line of positions thirty meters away from them and three meters wide.
The devil can't enter, there is no place to hide, he can only watch the grenade fall into the position and explode, the small space makes the power of the grenade explosion multiply, the explosion sound comes and goes, and the powerful shock wave and various fragments sweep the entire position. Soon, the first line of positions was a large area of flesh and blood.
In the continuous explosions in the first position, the fireballs rose one after another, but none of the more than 300 Great Warriors came out.
"Yaga! What's going on? Seeing that there was still a company of the Shina Army in the second position, Tanigawa Miyoji felt bad.
With the telescope alone, it was impossible to know what was really going on in the position, and Nobi Masayi and the officers of the brigade headquarters all looked at each other and didn't know how to answer Miyoji Tanigawa, who had lost his mind.
The devils who jumped into the position were blown up and suffered extremely heavy losses. Suddenly, at this time, one of the surviving devils found the two traffic ditches and shouted in surprise: "Traffic ditches! Come here! There is a traffic ditch! β
The remaining more than 100 devils couldn't wait to rush into the traffic ditch, only to find that they were two very narrow traffic ditches. Knowing that the person in front of him must be waiting for him, the devil who had no way to retreat still pulled a straight line in the traffic ditch and moved forward bravely regardless of himself.
The devil who rushed to the front suddenly found that the cold hole of the two Maxim heavy machine guns was facing him, and in the screams of the devils, the Maxim heavy machine guns roared, and the two slender tongues of fire spit out at the devils who rushed over.
In the narrow traffic ditch, there is no way to dodge, and the devils lined up in a straight line fall one after another as if they were shot, and each 7.62 mm heavy machine gun bullet can knock down several devils like a string of sugar gourds.
In less than a meal, more than 300 devils who rushed into the first line of positions were all killed under grenade bombardment and heavy machine gun fire.
"What the hell is going on!" Miyoji Tanigawa roared like thunder, and Nobi Masayi and several other officers stood in front of him with their heads bowed and didn't even dare to speak.
Night fell as scheduled, and the battlefield with the roar of guns and artillery finally fell silent.
In the dark, the entrance of Taierzhuang Town was a mess, the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and choking gunsmoke, and hundreds of corpses fell on the battlefield of only a few hundred square meters in various strange postures!
The overwhelmingly superior Yue army was unwilling to engage in night battles, which they were not good at, and the night became the best ally of the Chinese soldiers.
The first position under the faint moonlight was like hell, the stumps and internal organs of the human body could be seen everywhere, and the entire wall of the trench was smeared with dark purple blood!
Dozens of Chinese soldiers were pulling the corpses to collect usable weapons and ammunition, and the recruits, who had gone through the test of life and death, grew rapidly, and the horrific corpses seemed to be unseen in their eyes.
"This explosion is too powerful!" A sergeant squad leader picked up a 38 rifle that had been blown into a twisted shape and smacked it directly.
A soldier was pulling the grenade on the waist of a complete corpse, but he didn't expect the corpse to break open his eyes, "Squad leader, come quickly!" There's still a live one! β
The soldiers who heard the shouts all gathered around, and the squad leader squatted down to take a closer look, and the wounded soldier of this devil was still bleeding from his mouth and nose, and it seemed that he had been injured by the explosion shock wave.
The devil coughed up blood, and kept repeating in a weak voice, "ε½γε©γγΎγ (help)!" Although he couldn't understand what the devil was saying, his pleading eyes still made the squad leader guess what it meant!
In the past, the squad leader would definitely order treatment, but now he will definitely not, and all the officers and soldiers will not!
"How do you treat the Chinese!!"
The devil wounded soldier who also couldn't understand what the squad leader was saying also knew his fate from the strong killing intent in the eyes of this Chinese soldier! His eyes began to scatter, and he just kept shouting, "Xu γγ¦γγ (spare life)!" β
"Be a good man in the next life!" The squad leader smiled at the devil, and the wounded soldier thought that the Chinese soldier was going to spare his life, and he also tried to return the smile, "Oh! I felt a chill in my chest, and my consciousness quickly passed from my body.
"Don't report it in the future, just find out" The squad leader made a throat wipe gesture with the bayonet in his hand that was still dripping blood.
The battalion headquarters directly under the battalion is located in a house that has been converted into a fortress in Taierzhuang Town. Under the dim oil lamp, Gao Fei, the four company commanders, the assigned engineer platoon commander Ni Xin, and the two clerks were listening to the report of the lock post.
"The guard company killed 87 people, seriously injured 20, and slightly injured 28!" Choked up and reported here, the lock post wiped the corners of his eyes, and glanced at Gao Fei, who was hiding his face and sobbing, "2 seriously injured in the second company, 8 lightly injured!" There should be more than 600 devils to destroy! β
After listening to the data, everyone fell silent. Judging from the data, the ratio of casualties between friend and foe is 5:1, which is a figure that they have never thought of before. But everyone knows that tomorrow, they will face an all-out attack by more than 5,000 Japanese troops! Can you hold on to this half day? No one answered.
After sorting out his thoughts, Gao Fei said slowly, "Today's battle is very hard, and it is also very heroic, and the results are not bad!" But what I want to emphasize is that "after a pause, I saw that even Gao Fei was listening carefully," today we took advantage of the devil's underestimate mentality, and only then did we eat the main force of the devil's brigade one by one! β
All the officers nodded in agreement, "The main force of the devil has arrived, and tomorrow it will definitely strike with all its might, no matter how big the loss is tomorrow, even if it is the last person, we must hold on!" He added another sentence in his heart, "I hope to stay until noon!"
"Now I command!"
The officers all stood straight, their eyes were determined to see the young commander-in-chief who had brought them too many surprises.
"1. Give up the first position, use the second position to consume time, and choose to retreat!" Seeing that everyone looked at him in confusion, Gao Fei explained, "Today the devil suffered a big loss in the first position, and tomorrow the devil will definitely do the action of artillery bombardment."
"yes." The lock pillar who was the first to react laughed: "Let the devil go to the ground!" Now everyone understood, and everyone laughed at the sight of the devils shelling the empty first position tomorrow.
After everyone had laughed, Gao Fei continued to order, "The second and second companies are equipped with two firepower squads to stick to the second position, pay attention to the rational use of heavy firepower, and do not retreat without an order!" β
"Yes!" The glory of receiving the order did not have a trace of fear, on the contrary, it seemed very fluid!
"The 3rd and 3rd companies are equipped with a fire squad to be stationed at the fortifications at the entrance of the town to provide fire support for the 2nd company!"
"Be careful to change places every few shots!" These last two mortar platoons were Gao Fei's strongest firepower units, and Gao Fei couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Yes! Hit and run, the brothers have become accustomed to practice! β
"The engineer platoon, the battalion communication squad, and the drinking squad were incorporated into a company and stationed in the fortifications of the town! Is there a problem? "All eyes were on this second lieutenant, who was temporarily assigned to the battalion.
Just as Goofy was arranging for tomorrow's battle, the provisional command of the 63rd Infantry Wing was also in session.
Miyoji Tanigawa wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead and reported the battle situation in the afternoon. After the report, Kazuno Masahiro stood aside uneasily, looking at Furong Zhenhei who had been closing his eyes all the time without a trace of expression on his face.
After a while, Fukuei Zhenpei opened his eyes, and he didn't look at the sweaty Tanigawa Miyoji and Nobi Masatsu.
"Gao, in the words of the Zhina people, is to show weakness to the enemy, lure the enemy to gather and annihilate him! What does Kurosawa-kun think? β
Chief of Staff Masasan Kurosawa, who was sitting at the bottom, pushed his glasses: "According to Tanigawa-kun's description, this Shina commander is very cunning, luring a large group into a deep position with a small number of troops, and then"
"Say no more!" Fukuei Zhenhei stopped Kurosawa Shozo's words, and stared at Tanigawa Miyoji and Nobi Masami viciously, the killing intent in his eyes became stronger and stronger, "You two bastards! Such a shoddy conspiracy can't be seen! Lost a whole squadron of warriors! β
Feeling bad, Yebi Zhengyi was bold and trembled: "Hayi! The subordinates are derelict in their duties, tomorrow morning, the subordinates are willing to lead the rest of the troops to assault the position in China, and His Excellency Wangmu Village is gracious! οΌ
Miyoji Tanigawa, who reacted, knew that this was the only way to survive, and he was busy and made a statement.
"Yo Si! A little surprised, he looked at Nobi Masayi with a decisive face, and Fukuei Zhenhei, who wanted to make the two of them disemboweled, looked at Kurosawa Shozo with some hesitation.
"The courage of the two is commendable! Tomorrow there will be two of them! Kurosawa was smiling haha.
The two who had escaped death let out a long sigh.
"Everyone, there are not many soldiers left!" Fukuei Shinpei, who had carefully observed the map, came to a conclusion.
"Command!"
All the officers immediately stood upright.
"Concentrate all artillery fire on the first position in Pingchina! The first brigade is the first wave, and the second brigade is the second wave, and the second brigade is going all out to assault the second position of China! The third brigade is ready to break into Taierzhuang Town at any time! β
"Hello!"
The two [***] teams are in place, and a battle with a huge disparity in strength is about to begin.
Gao Fei lay in a well-camouflaged fortification at the entrance of the town, observing the movements of the army. It seems that the devils are going to fight hard, hundreds of devils in the telescope have white belts wrapped around their heads and line up in the first wave of attack formations, and there is a wave of nearly a thousand devils behind!
"Watch for secrecy!" The officers who had long been familiar with the devil's attack mode ordered that all the officers and soldiers in the second position were hidden in the defensive artillery holes, and the observation task was taken care of by the soldiers at the entrance of the town.
Seeing that the attack team had been launched, Fukuei gave the order to start the attack!
