Chapter 51: Turning the Tables
Grasshopper ordered Tugen to lie on the trench to observe the movement of the Japanese army, he took two mercenaries who were relatively good to drag the few corpses scattered in the trench farther away, the Japanese army rushed into the trench only to confirm these corpses, if their hiding place and the corpses were scattered, the Japanese army would definitely focus on searching this trench, dragging away the corpses to reduce trouble. There were more than a dozen wounded mercenaries left to die, and the only weapons left for them were more than 20 grenades and the two light machine guns, and all that was left was their bayonet.
The grasshoppers dug a very rudimentary hole, at most it could only be regarded as a shallow pit that could bury people shallowly, but even this made two of the seriously injured mercenaries stop breathing, because the injuries on their bodies did not allow them to make such drastic movements. "It's better to bury it, I can't drag it" The weak grasshopper leaned against the trench, panting heavily, his injured eyes looked straight and wrapped it in gauze, if it weren't for morphine, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hold it anymore.
"The Japanese army is coming, and there are still 30 meters away" The mercenaries who had been shrinking into the trench by the soil roots of the trench, and the mercenaries who were panting and panting focused on the grasshopper's body. The cynical grasshopper took the lead in lying down in his shallow pit, and his long arm pulled the dirt on the edge of the shallow pit to his body, as for the face exposed outside, it was already covered with mud mixed with water, as long as he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see that it was a human face at all. The mercenaries who volunteered to stay behind all went into the shallow pit they dug out like grasshoppers, clutching grenades tightly in their hands, and as long as the Japanese soldiers who jumped into the trenches found themselves, they had to fight to the death.
The grasshoppers were lucky, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed over focused on pursuing Kessler, but they were not the slightest bit tempted by this trench, but they ran around the trench and left more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to guard their wounded soldiers, and the other Japanese soldiers under the command of the officer, directly crossed the trench and continued to chase Kessler. After the Japanese troops in the brigade crossed the trenches, an eye hidden in the dirt suddenly opened, and as the bloody eye opened, a bayonet full of dirt also stretched out from the soft soil.
There were not many soldiers who cared for the wounded Japanese soldiers, except for a few medical soldiers, just a squad of Japanese soldiers, and when the grasshoppers crawled out of the shallow pit with bayonets, the dozen or so Japanese soldiers were standing guard on the trench with rifles. "Da Da Da" lying on the trench with the grasshopper is holding the light machine gun Tugen, who is still good at physical strength is still a machine gun shooter, and the grasshopper who is missing an eye has become his ammunition hand, his task is to throw the grenade in his hand when Tugen changes the magazine, so as to win time for the Tugen to change the magazine.
Tsuken's body shook with the roar of the machine gun, and the gauze wrapped around his thighs also revealed blood, and more than 20 Japanese soldiers were shot and killed by Tsuken with three magazines, although it was only a matter of less than a minute, but for the seriously injured Tugen and grasshoppers, it almost killed them. "Quick, go out and get the guns and ammunition back" The exhausted grasshopper lay on the trench weakly, beckoning the mercenaries who had just crawled out of the shallow pit to climb out of the trench to collect weapons, but they couldn't stop hundreds of Japanese troops with two machine guns, they needed more weapons.
Tsuchigan's machine gunners had already attracted the attention of the Japanese pursuing troops, and a group of Japanese soldiers led by a soldier turned around and killed them, and the strong Tugen and another machine gunner hurriedly dropped the machine gun and put it in the direction of the Japanese army. "Fight when you get closer, save some bullets" The grasshopper put a few magazines in front of him, just now Tugen shot more than 20 Japanese soldiers with three magazines, which made the grasshopper feel a little painful, but he also knew that if Tugen was not injured, those Japanese soldiers just now only needed one more magazine to get it.
A few mercenaries who endured the pain and climbed out of the trenches went out and crawled around the ground, dragging back the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese soldiers who were killed by Tugen, although they were all rifles, but they could also ensure that everyone had weapons in their hands, and each person had as many as three grenades. The grasshopper, who often poses as a veteran, first grabbed a rifle in his hand, skillfully pulled the bolt to check the bullets in the chamber, and while grabbing a few rows of bullets, he did not forget to take an extra rifle in his hand, saying that he wanted to show everyone the ability to use two guns in one person.
Grasshopper is worthy of being a veteran ruffian who has fought a lot of bad battles, and the mercenaries with rifles in their hands are divided into two groups by him, each pile of people follows a machine gun, and when the machine gun needs to change the magazine, these mercenaries with rifles are covering the fire, and when they can't stand it, they also need to throw grenades to block the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers who pounced reflexively did not reach a distance of 50 meters from Togen, and the grasshopper who commanded him temporarily patted him on the back and signaled Togen to fire. The clattering machine-gun fire did not repel the Japanese troops, but caused them to become even more frenzied, and under the cover of each other, they were gradually shortening the distance between them and the trenches.
"Grenade, grenade" After firing a bullet with a rifle, the grasshopper saw that Tugen had not changed the magazine, so he roared and got up and threw a grenade out, but they forgot that they were holding a Japanese grenade in a hurry, but the grenade with the safety bolt was not triggered, and the grenade that fell to the bottom did not explode. The grasshopper with its mouth wide open looked at the Japanese soldier on the opposite side and bent down to pick up the grenade that did not explode, and then smirked and knocked on the steel helmet and was about to throw it into the trench, and the grasshopper in the panic had to shout that the hidden fit protected the soil roots under the body, as long as the machine gun was saved, there was still the possibility of fighting with them.
With a "boom", the grenade exploded, but not in the trenches, but directly in the hands of the Japanese soldier. The grasshopper, who was blown by the anger and dust, realized that the danger he imagined had not befallen him in the trench, and before he could roll over from Tugen's body and get up, he heard a "bang" gunfire in his ears, and the fiercest soldier on the opposite side had already fallen on his back. Listening to the familiar sound of gunfire, the grasshopper looked back in disbelief, and happened to see Ye Kong and his own husband with a sniper rifle, "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, our husband is coming" The grasshopper carried away the soil roots of his whole body with his shoulder, and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers who had rushed to the outside of the trench with the machine gun, and the big tears slipped from the grasshopper's only eye, and disappeared without a trace as the body shook and fell into the dirt.
