Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 80: Guangfu Luodian
Xu Shijiu didn't say much nonsense, and asked bluntly: "Company Commander Hu, can I borrow you a cannon?" ”
"Borrowed guns?" Hu Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he read something from Xu Shijiu's expression, and his face changed greatly, "Captain Xu, you want to carry a mortar on your shoulder and shoot at it flat?!" ”
"How?" Xu Shijiu said indifferently, "Haven't you learned? ”
Hu Jie was speechless, and Xu Shijiu said again: "It shouldn't be, your battalion commander is the tall foot of Old Man Cai, it is impossible for the old man not to pass on this unique skill to you?" ”
Hu Jie said with a bitter face: "Yes, yes, but it's too dangerous." ”
Xu Shijiu said indifferently: "When you are a soldier, aren't you all begging for a living with your head?" ”
Hu Jie gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted, "Leper, give your cannon to Captain Xu." ”
An artilleryman hurriedly ran over and handed the mortar on his shoulder to Xu Shijiu, Hu Jie also took another mortar from another artilleryman, Xu Shijiu turned his head and smiled at Hu Jie, turned around and left.
Seeing Xu Shijiu's figure disappear into the night, the one-eyed dragon roared: "Brothers, you can fight hard, don't save bullets for Lao Tzu, hit him doggy!" ”
The 19th Brigade suddenly opened firepower, and the Zhongcheng, Hanyang-made, 38-style, Makqin, Czech-style, 92-style, and crooked handles were all together, and the dazzling tracer light was instantly intertwined into a tight fire net, completely enveloping the two Japanese tanks in front, and a shuttle bullet hit Tucker, which was like a sound and sparks splashed everywhere.
The two Japanese tanks were unscathed, while guiding the infantry to slowly run forward, while slowly turning the turret, the front-firing machine gun and the main gun were aimed at the position of the 19th Brigade machine gun company at the same time.
The tank soldiers of the little Japanese are really well-trained, and they are accurate by a dozen!
Seeing that the two Haode Makqin heavy machine guns were broken into pieces, the one-eyed dragon's heart was dripping blood, but no matter how big the price is, you have to endure it, if you can't kill these two Japanese tanks, don't say that the 19th Brigade can't keep this bit of belongings, that is, the entire 19th Brigade has to be confessed here, and fight with a dog!
On the other side of the position, Xu Shijiu and Hu Jie had already approached within 100 meters of the Japanese tank, and seeing that the distance was about the same, Xu Shijiu knelt on one knee and set up Jiashi.
Hu Jie then knelt down on one knee and carried the cannon barrel to his shoulder.
Aiming the cannon barrel at a 45-degree inclination, Xu 19 and Hu Jie shouted in unison: "Cannonballs!" ”
The two co-shooters each maneuvered a shell into the muzzle, the shell quickly slid into the barrel under the action of gravity, and the primer and the firing pin collided, triggering the fuse, taking advantage of the short delay between the primer triggering and the explosion of the basic tube, Xu 19 and Hu Jie quickly lowered the inclination angle of the gun barrel and aimed at the two Japanese tanks in front of them at a small angle.
"Tom tom!" Two muffled sounds, two dazzling tracer lights have been suddenly sprayed out from the mouth of the cannon barrel, the huge recoil force made Xu Jiu and Hu Jie unable to hold it, the cannon barrel from the shoulders of the two backwards shot out, almost at the same time, the Japanese tank in front of it has exploded at the same time, one of the tanks rose up to ten meters high, most of them were hit by the fuel tank.
In the big crater, Ergua was tying grenades with leggings, planning to use bundles of grenades to blow up Japanese tanks, of course he knew what it meant to do this, but he didn't think much about it, the captain said that when you are a soldier, you have to fight, and if you fight, you have to die, and when someone has to die, whoever is on the stall is who, and you can't hide.
At this moment, the Japanese tank in front suddenly exploded!
After being stunned for less than half a second, Ergua immediately reacted, sat up from the crater with the flower mechanism, and couldn't help but say that it was a long point shot in front of him, and the Japanese soldiers who were bending down and pressing forward in front fell several in an instant, and the remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers also fell into chaos, some lay down, and some turned around and ran.
Gao Shenxing and more than a dozen veterans also sat up one after another, holding flower traps and firing fiercely, and the Japanese finally lost their positions and hurriedly turned around and retreated to the second line of defense.

Shi Xianggong Temple, 58th Division Headquarters.
Feng Shengfa sat on the chair, his chin rested on the back of the chair and closed his eyes, he couldn't see too much abnormality on his face, but deep down, Feng Shengfa was actually quite nervous, although he believed in Xu Nineteen very much, and knew that most of the backbone veterans of the Nineteenth Brigade were still there, but the Nineteenth Brigade had just been replenished after all.
Zhang Jingming, He Lingxiao, and Wu Jiguang were much more relaxed, they were waiting to see Feng Shengfa's jokes.
The news kept coming back from the front through the correspondents, the main force of the 19th Brigade had broken through the stone bridge in the west of the town, which would be storming the outer defense line of the Japanese army in Luodian, and the 19th Brigade led by one hand was also connected with the Japanese reinforcements on the west front bridge, and the Japanese reinforcements had only one infantry squadron, and the two sides were currently in a fierce battle.
Another piece of news came back, Feng Shengfa finally couldn't sit still, the Japanese army in Luodian actually had tanks!
"What's going on? How to do it! Feng Shengfa stood up from his chair and began to pace back and forth quickly in the room with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Zhang Jingming shook his head and said, "Master, I'm in trouble now." ”
He Lingxiao said: "Now it's not enough to transfer the guard battalion again." ”
Wu Jiguang said: "Master, let's quickly withdraw the 19th Brigade." ”
Feng Shengfa ignored the cold words of Zhang Jingming and the others, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, the hour hand was already pointing to four o'clock in the morning, at most two hours, it should be dawn, if the nineteenth brigade could not end the battle within two hours, it would be a big trouble, should you transfer the guard battalion up?
##########
On the battlefield of Luodian, Hu Jie's mortar company destroyed two Japanese tanks that could not be moved due to mechanical failure and could only be used as fixed turrets, and the 19th Brigade finally tore a hole in the second line of defense of the Japanese army.
Rushing through the corner of the street, a bullet suddenly burst out in front of him to pierce the tracer light of the night sky, Gao Shenxing, who was rushing to the front, retracted into the corner of the wall with a single step, and the bullets fired from the front hit the wall on the other side of the corner of the wall.
Ergua stretched out his left hand and gestured to Gao Shenxing, signaling him to take a detour from the side.
Gao Shenxing understood, threw out two grenades in front of him, and then took advantage of the cover of gunsmoke to roll across the street and lay down under a broken wall on the opposite side, and in the process of rolling, he did not forget to shoot a shuttle of bullets in front of him, and the Japanese machine guns immediately chased after him, and smashed the broken wall where Gao Shenxing was hiding into smoke and dust.
Ergua had already bypassed from the other side, and unknowingly touched the attic where the Japanese soldiers were hiding, first threw two grenades into it from the window, and then shot a long point at the attic floor from below, the explosion and gunfire rang out, mixed with a few screams in the middle, and after a while, there was a sticky liquid seeping down from the floor.
Ergua rushed up the stairs, but he was not in a hurry to hit the door that was shutting shut, but made a long shot through the door panel, and then threw a grenade through the crack in the door, and then kicked open the door and rushed in.
The Japanese army did not carry out targeted night or street combat training before the full-scale invasion of China, so the Japanese army did not have an advantage in street fighting at night, and in the face of the assault team led by Gao Shenxing and Ergua, the little Japan was at an absolute disadvantage, and the commando team composed of more than a dozen veterans was like a sharp knife, quickly cutting into the hinterland of the Japanese army.

A cannonball happened to fall on Kinoshita Hideyoshi's headquarters, and a dozen or so wooden beams erected on the top could not bear it, and they broke off and then smashed down, killing two communication soldiers and one orderly on the spot.
Crawling out of the rubble, the gunfire getting closer.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi did not hesitate to give the order to retreat, for the Japanese army, the small land of Luodian was worthless, because there were neither materials worth protecting nor strong fortifications to use, even if it was lost, it would not be a pity, not to mention that it would be easy to recapture after dawn.
##########
Luodian was finally recaptured, but there were still more than 100 Japanese troops to break through to the north.
Looking at the two 92 infantry guns quietly placed on the ground, Hu Jie's eyes suddenly showed a strange essence, and then rushed forward with an arrow step, but when he reached out to touch the barrel, he became extremely gentle, looking at his jiashi, as if he was stroking a beautiful woman, the baby is not good.
Compared with mountain artillery and field artillery, the 92 infantry artillery is light, and the total weight is only more than 200 kilograms, but compared with mortars, it is cumbersome and unbearable, so it is basically impossible to suppress Hu Jie's mortar company.
Little Japan also wanted to blow up the two infantry guns before leaving, but let the artillery link to save it, and sacrificed an artillery platoon commander in order to save the two guns, when a Japanese soldier knocked the grenade into the ammunition box after knocking the fuse, and saw that the grenade was about to explode and then cause the ammunition to detonate, the platoon commander rushed forward desperately.
Zuihou's platoon commander picked up the grenade from the ammunition box, but before he could throw it too far, it exploded in the air, and Zuihou's two 92 infantry guns and six boxes of shells were saved, but the platoon commander was beaten into a sieve by the fragments produced by the grenade explosion, and he was martyred on the spot, and it is said that he was not yet 18 years old.
Xu Shijiu felt sorry, thinking that an experienced artilleryman was far more important than a gun, you must know that the platoon commander can also carry the mortar on his shoulder as a flat-fire gun, this is a difficult job, if the fire is not well controlled, it is possible to shatter the shoulder or even be directly smashed by the barrel swing of the head.
Hu Jie sighed and said to Xu Shijiu that artillery is more valuable than life, if it wasn't for the fact that he was too far away at that time, it would not be the platoon commander's turn to make a move.
In this regard, Xu Shijiu could only shake his head and sigh, the artillery did not hesitate to lose his own life to protect the artillery, in fact, it is a reason to blow up the Japanese tank with bundles of grenades in the vanguard, this is to give the chance of life to others, but leave death to himself, of course, the premise is that death can make more brothers live.
It's still the same sentence, to be a soldier you have to fight, to fight a war you have to die, whoever is on the stall is who, there is no choice for this, and there is nothing to talk about, this is a responsibility, but also a mission.
