Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fierce Battle at the Fork in the Road
"Cong Hu, Shanzi, you also go to sleep for a while." Two hours later, Leng Feng woke up on time and went over to replace Cong Hu and Tie Shan.
It was less than an hour before dawn.
It's also the darkest time before dawn!
Snowflakes, suddenly snowflakes fell above the sky.
"Big brother, it's snowing!"
Niu Miao and Tie Dan are both Lingnan people, Lingnan is more than ten degrees in winter, and it rarely snows, but they are all veterans, and they have seen much more than ordinary people in the past few years.
It's snowing at this time, and that's not a bad thing.
Leng Feng knew very well in his heart that history records that although the winter of this year was cold, there was no snow in Nanjing at this time, and the latter said that there was no heavy snowfall.
It's possible to have some small snowflakes fall once in a while.
Leng Feng raised his hand and forgot about his watch, his watch was a product of a thousand years later, in that era, it was a relatively ordinary thing, but in this era, it was an unattainable level.
Night vision is only a basic function, so you can see the time clearly even when there is no light.
It's 4:28 a.m.!
Leng Feng's face was cold, and he couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, and he was still calm on the surface, if the people who picked him up hadn't arrived, they would have to evacuate immediately.
There must also be a period of time to evacuate, as soon as the morning dawns, when they are discovered by the Japanese army, with their two legs, the probability of a successful escape plummets.
"Big brother, come and see, there seems to be movement on the devil's side?" Niu Miao also woke up, climbed to Leng Feng's side, and picked up the telescope to observe.
"I'll see." Leng Feng took the telescope in surprise and looked at the position set up by the Japanese army at the fork in the road.
On the opposite side of the position, there were many figures, and it seemed that many people were moving towards this side, and the speed was neither slow nor slow.
Although it was dark, there was no haze, and if you get used to it in the dark for a long time, you can still see some vague shadows.
The distance is so close, why didn't the Japanese troops in the opposite position move at all?
By the way, their location is a hillside, which is considered a commanding height, and it is condescending, so it is naturally easier to see than the Japanese army.
"It seems that the people who will pick us up have arrived, and after a while, when they are fighting, we will give them a blow from behind the Japanese army, and come to a front and back attack, and the victory will be met!" Leng Feng said with a smile.
"Good!"
"The position of the Japanese army is arranged like this, after a while, we rush down, the first thing to deal with is their heavy machine gunners and machine gunners and commanders, commander, I will deal with it, Cong Hu, you will deal with the machine gunners, Niu Miao carries the radio on his back, you cover Cong Hu, Tie Shan, you follow me, rush into two hundred meters and shoot, close, greet with grenades, understand?" Leng Feng arranged the combat mission.
"Niu Miao, you are in a group with Cong Hu, listen to Cong Hu's command!"
"Big brother, I'm a veteran, why should I listen to the third brother?"
"Although Cong Hu is a newcomer, he is more resolute in carrying out orders than you, and he is calmer than you." Leng Feng glanced at him and said.
"Why am I not calm......" Niu Miao muttered, although he was a little unwilling, but he knew his own problem, if no one really cared about it, with his temperament, he could really get into trouble.
"Alright, let's start sorting out our gear and getting ready for action!" Leng Feng said, "I estimate that the battle will start in ten minutes." ”
Leng Feng did not expect badly, Liu Hou and a battalion did quietly transport to the Japanese army's fork position, which was less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position.
It's a dangerous distance, but it's good that it's dark, and it's the sleepiest time of the day.
The Japanese guard posts and positions were quiet, almost all of them were asleep.
"Camp, it looks like the little devils are sleeping dead?"
"They probably didn't expect us to appear in front of them at this time, did they?" Liu Hou smiled.
He had long wanted to take the initiative, but he was not allowed to act privately, let alone a long-distance attack.
This time it was a fortuitous opportunity.
"Tell the brethren to fight later, don't save bullets, and give me a hard beating!" Liu Hou pulled the bolt on the box gun in his hand and ordered in a low voice.
"Yes!"
"The time is almost up, and it will be dawn in half an hour, brothers, listen to my orders, rush closer, and shoot again!" Liu Houyi raised his head, stood up, turned around, and ordered.
The fork in the road is not big, and it is enough for forty-five people at most, so Liu Hou did not press all the troops.
"The first company will follow me first, and the second company will wait for me to get into trouble with the little devils, and then you will press up, and the third company will be a reserve."
In the last 200 meters, there was no longer any shelter, and the Japanese army chose to set up a blocking position here, which was also after some consideration.
"Rush!"
Liu Hou gave an order and led a company to rush directly towards the Japanese position.
The Japanese troops at the fork in the crossing finally discovered the enemy's situation, got up in a panic, and ran to their positions.
"Da Da ......"
The machine guns in the Japanese positions were the first to fire, and a shuttle of bullets was fired, and the machine gunners rubbed their sleepy eyes, no, they missed the aim.
"Baga, how did you fight...... Japanese soldier Cao was extremely annoyed, rushed up, and slammed his own head hard.
This fight is tantamount to telling the opponent that he has discovered them.
"Hit!"
The sound of Czech light machine gun gunfire rang out, and Liu Hou slowly advanced, leading a battalion and a company to a place less than a hundred meters away from the Japanese position.
The heavy machine guns of the Japanese positions rang out, knock knock......
There was a burst of strafing, and the seven or eight Cantonese soldiers who rushed to the front were beaten with flesh and blood, and all of them were killed.
The little devil's reaction was quick...... "Liu Hou was hit by a bullet and could barely raise his head.
In the dark night sky, the orange-red barrage is really beautiful, cruel and bloody.
"Doo!"
"Be careful, devil's grenadier ......"
Two soft sounds were heard, and a violent explosion sounded in the charging ranks, and a dozen of the company's deaths fell at once.
"Little devil on the dog day, rush, rush ......" Liu Houxin was dripping blood, his own troops were too poorly equipped, his battalion was the best equipped in the Guangdong army, and there were less than four light machine guns, and there was one heavy machine gun, but because the marching task was heavy this time, it was too heavy to carry and stay.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, Leng Feng heard it.
"Action!" Leng Feng stomped his foot violently, and rushed down with a 38-style stroke, followed by Tie Shan.
"Tie Shan, lower your body, follow me, don't walk in a straight line, run in small steps, don't be afraid, the idea is ahead." Leng Feng was running and teaching on the spot.
Tie Shan carried two 38 types on his back, and his body was full of grenades, and his task was to provide ammunition to Leng Feng.
Five hundred meters, it took less than a minute and a half for the cold front to arrive.
At this time, Liu Hou led a company to a distance of less than 100 meters from the Japanese army's fork blocking position, and the company suffered huge casualties.
Almost half of them fell in the way of the charge.
In the final analysis, it is still the reason for the inferior weaponry, if they have heavy firepower such as mortars, there is no need to fill it with human lives.
All of them were small arms, not even grenadiers, although they caught the Japanese by surprise, but they were still defeated by the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, and they were so crushed that they could not raise their heads on the ground.
Liu Hou was anxious in his heart, if this continued, there would be no one left in his company to fight the Japanese army.
"Yingza, the devil's firepower is too fierce, what should I do?"
"Rush, rush over......"
"The casualties of the brothers are too great, so why don't you go back and find a way?" The commander of a company was wounded in the arm and crawled over gritting his teeth.
Bang!
Before Liu Hou could speak, a bullet came, hitting the chest of a company commander, and his eyes closed gently.
"The commander of the first company ......" Liu Hou was inexplicably sad and indignant.
"Little devil, I'll fuck you grandma, machine gunner......"
The Japanese probably didn't expect someone to attack him from behind, and when Leng Feng rushed fifty meters in, they hadn't even noticed it.
Leng Feng fired, a kneeling position, and with the light of the skyrocketing fire, he aimed at the commander of the Japanese army, a second lieutenant.
Percussion!
The Japanese lieutenant touched his heart, saw the bright red blood, and collapsed.
The Japanese had not yet discovered Leng Feng at this time, and they thought that the bullets fired by the Chinese troops on the opposite side.
It wasn't until Cong Hu's bullet hit behind the Japanese heavy machine gunners that they woke up to the fact that there were enemies behind them!
Liu Hou also found out that the devil's heavy machine gun suddenly fell silent, and when he looked up, he saw that many devils were turning their guns back.
I don't understand what's going on, he, Liu Hou, has fought for so many years in vain.
Someone must have stabbed the devil in the back, maybe it was the person he was going to answer this mission.
"Brothers, rush!" Liu Hou got up from the ground, took the rest of the company, and rushed towards the Japanese position.
"Niu Er, throw a grenade!"
"Got it, this little devil's grenade is really fucking troublesome......" Niu Miao followed Cong Hu with the radio on her back, carrying a pack of melon grenades from the Japanese army, and while throwing them, she kept complaining, thinking that the grenades made by the devil were troublesome.
The Japanese-style grenade is really not very good, and it needs to be "knocked" before throwing it out, otherwise, the impact force is not enough and it cannot be exploded.
Niu Miao didn't dare to "knock" Leng Feng's baby radio station, if it was broken, he couldn't afford to pay for it, so he could only come up to his head for a while.
Fortunately, after rushing into the Japanese position, Niu Miao picked up a Japanese steel helmet and buckled it on his head, and he no longer had to use his head directly.
At the fork position, a small squad of Japanese troops was mainly to block the Nationalist troops who might come from the south.
Don't look at a Japanese squad, the firepower and combat effectiveness are not inferior to a battalion of the national army.
Moreover, in the event of an attack here, Xiaohuangzhuang and the Japanese troops besieging Shidong Mountain could arrive within a quarter of an hour.
Therefore, if he can't take this fork in the position within ten minutes, Liu Hou can only consider retreating.
Once the Japanese army arrived, his battalion, which was not yet formed, was not enough for the Japanese army.
Leng Feng shot calmly, like a god of death, almost one shot at a time, never missed, after shooting one gun, directly replaced with another, he shot more than ten ghosts alone.
"Shanzi, change the gun!"
"Big brother, give!" Iron Mountain has risen from admiration to worship of Iron Mountain, and threw the 38 style over.
This is already loaded with bullets.
Leng Feng stretched out his hand and took a shot at a Japanese soldier who rushed over, and the devil soldier fell to the ground in response.
The devil kept falling to the ground, and Leng Feng kept pulling the trigger.
Kill all the way until all the Japanese troops are wiped out.
"Cong Hu, check if there is any alive!"
"Yes, big brother!"
"Battalion Commander Liu!" Liu Hou, Leng Feng has some impressions, when he was at the meeting of the 478 Brigade, he had a conversation with Liu Hou.
"Staff Officer Leng, it's really you, you're not dead?" Liu Hou was taken aback and said excitedly, although his own adjutant on the road had mentioned it in his ear, he still didn't believe that Leng Feng was still alive.
After all, the official report of the garrison headquarters has already said that Leng Feng, the second lieutenant staff officer of the teaching corps, has been martyred.
