Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 54 Bombing
The pontoon bridge over Sijing has finally been erected, and the Japanese army has launched a general attack!
Xu Shijiu's judgment was extremely accurate, the Japanese army responsible for attacking Dingjiaxiang did have a brigade, the captain's name was Oshima Masao, this guy had never been to Lu Shi, let alone Lu University, but he had fought the Democratic Resistance League in the Northeast, and he had personally slaughtered a baby in swaddling clothes, and he was an old devil who was cruel to the bone.
As soon as the shelling was over, two squads of Japanese soldiers were sent to drive dozens of hostages to Dingjia Lane.
"Knife team, do you want to fight?" Ergua resisted the button of the Makqin heavy machine gun, but he couldn't press it alive.
Scar's face was also pale, but soon his face returned to normal, and he said a few words to Gao Shenxing, Ergua and a few veterans, and then walked out of the bunker with his hands raised.
Seeing Scar come out with his hand raised, the Japanese soldiers approaching on the opposite side did not shoot rashly.
Time passed quietly in the suffocating wait, Scar finally walked in front of the dozens of hostages, a ghost soldier Cao Cao stepped forward with a cruel smile, picked up the butt of the gun and smashed it on Scar's head, Scar dodged and dodged another fierce man and fell to the ground, so he yelled: "Get down, folks, get down, lie down......"
Dozens of hostages instinctively fell to the ground, and the more than 20 devil soldiers hiding behind them did not understand Chinese, and they did not react at once, and in an instant, Ergua's Makqin light and heavy machine gun had already fired, and the scorching bullets splashed like water, and more than 20 Japanese soldiers were caught off guard, and they fell to the ground one after another, and those who were not shot also quickly lay down.
"Run, folks, run!" The gunfire paused, and Scar got up and ran with a loud roar.
Dozens of hostages got up in a hurry and rushed back towards the position of the national army, the Japanese troops on the opposite side reacted, followed by heavy fire, the people who fled back in a hurry fell one after another, and Zuihou Scar also fell, falling less than ten meters away from his own bunker, at least four bullets hit him at the same time, one of which pierced the heart.
"Knife Team!" Ergua howled, rushed out of cover and dragged Scar back.
When he was dragged back to the bunker by Ergua, Scar's consciousness was still sober, but he was already speechless, and the red blood was overflowing from his wound like a fountain, and blood bubbles were gushing out from the corners of his mouth, and the platoon leader of the police corps sighed: "What's the trouble with this, just to save a few hostages, why is it so painful?" ”
Scar squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying on his face, and then pointed at Gao Shenxing with difficulty, and then pointed at Ergua, but his eyes kept staring at Gao Shenxing, Gao Shenxing clenched his saber tightly, and said with a calm face: "Knife team, I understand, you die on me, I die on Ergua, Ergua dies on other veterans, until Zuihou dies!" ”
Scar's expression was relieved when he heard this, and he swallowed Zuihou.
As soon as Scar had just taken his last breath, the four Type 92 infantry guns of the Japanese army on the other side began another round of artillery preparations, and rows of high-explosive shells and sulfur bombs blew up the entire Dingjia Alley, causing houses to collapse and blaze fiercely, and the officers and men hiding in the civilian houses suffered heavy casualties, at least a dozen people were directly killed, and more officers and soldiers were injured and burned.
The only good thing was that the two machine-gun bunkers were unscathed.
One is the brick kiln in the east of the village, which is stronger than the turret, and the other is the cypress tree in the west of the village, this old cypress tree is enough to be hugged by four people, and there is a huge hole in the root, just enough to accommodate a machine gun.
The Japanese poured hundreds of shells into Dingjia Lane, and then began the second wave of offensive, about a small group of Japanese soldiers with bayonets in their hands, silently rushed across the pontoon bridge, and then immediately launched a wavy skirmish line under the cover of heavy machine gun fire on the north bank, and pounced on Dingjia Lane.
At this time, the distance of the Japanese army was almost a kilometer away, and only heavy machine guns could effectively kill and injure targets.
Ergua grabbed the grip of the Maxim heavy machine gun and fired wildly ahead, 7. The 92mm caliber machine gun bullets were fan-shaped like water, and the Japanese soldiers were stacked on the ground, and the ammunition chain containing 333 rounds was about to bottom out, but the ammunition hand did not know where to die, and could not help but shout in a hurry: "The ammunition man, the ammunition man, the ammunition man......
Before the words fell, someone came to Ergua's side, and refuted another bullet link with great disgust, while actually saying to Ergua: "Ergua, heavy machine guns can't fight like this, it's too bullet-consuming, you have to change the water tank to hit two bullet chains, and if you can't find water, you have to take a break, and it will kill people at critical times." ”
Ergua was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "You rookie egg, I need you to teach me...... Hey?! ”
Before he finished speaking, Ergua turned his head suddenly, and immediately shouted in great surprise: "Captain, it's you?!" ”
At that time, in the Jiangwan Field Hospital, Xu Shijiu took the truck of the teaching corps to go first, and Ergua chased directly in the car left by Zhu Xia behind, but he did not catch up until the temporary station of the 19th Brigade in Zhoujiaxiang, Ergua was worried that Xu Shijiu would be bombed by Japanese bombers on the way and injured, but now he is relieved.
Xu Shijiu smiled and touched Ergua's head, and then said: "You have to learn to kill the enemy with two or three short points, press the button and release it immediately, yes, that's it, remember that the light machine gun should also be like this, not only can it save bullets, but also make the enemy unable to figure out your magazine balance, and at the critical moment, it can not only save your life, but also make the enemy suffer a dark loss." ”
Ergua has a high level of understanding, and after a few attempts, he quickly learned two or three shorts.
At a distance of 500 meters, the Czech light machine gun under the cypress tree in the west of the village also sounded, and in an instant, the Makqin heavy machine gun of Ergua was intertwined into a tight crossfire, and the casualties of the Japanese troops suddenly increased sharply, and before they could approach 200 meters, a small group of Japanese soldiers had already suffered more than a dozen casualties, and the remaining Japanese soldiers quickly retreated.

The Japanese attack was thwarted again, and the old devil of Oshima was so angry that he screamed.
Deputy Captain Inushiro said: "Captain, the Chinese army has built a strong heavy machine gun fortification on the south bank of Sijing, and our armored vehicles cannot pass through the pontoon bridge, and continue to engage in infantry attack, I am afraid that it will only increase casualties in vain. ”
Although the headquarters of the 3rd Division had landed from Zhang Huabin, the detection balloon of the detectable team could not be lifted into the air for a long time, so that the field artillery wing could not provide artillery support to the Japanese troops in various battlefields, and the Oshima Brigade had to request naval aviation support again.
The old devil of Oshima said hatefully: "Little Inu-kun, I really don't want to be ridiculed by that group of idiots in the navy. ”
Inushiro persuaded: "Captain, it is unacceptable to be ridiculed by colleagues in the navy, but if you can't break through the Sijing defense line of the Chinese army, it will be a small matter of losing face and affecting the entire decisive battle of Songhu." ”
The old devil on Oshima changed slightly when he heard this, and said helplessly at the moment: "Okay." ”
Inushiro turned around and instructed the signal soldier, "Ono-kun, immediately contact the 3rd Fleet and request urgent tactical guidance from the Kisarazu Air Force." ”
"Hello." Signal soldier Ono suddenly bowed his head and took the order.

While the old devils of Oshima were busy asking for naval aviation support, the 19th Brigade was busy repairing the fortifications.
The fire caused by the Japanese sulfur bomb was not extinguished, and even had a tendency to burn more and more, and there was no one in the house at all, so the 19th Brigade had to repair the fortifications outside the village, but fortunately, Shu Tongwen was still able to do things, and the first batch of organized militia had come up, and Xu 19 asked them to help dig trenches.
The soil in this area of Dingjiaxiang is soft, and it is easy to dig up the soil, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, because this area is close to the Huangpu River, the groundwater level is relatively high, and the water will rise up if it is dug down less than half a meter, and when it reaches Zuihou, the entire trench has almost become a ditch, and the officers and soldiers can only soak in the water, and they are miserable.
Even so, little Japan will still come to make trouble.
As soon as the main trench was dug halfway, two Japanese planes came out of the clouds, Xu Shijiu looked up and saw that his face changed for a moment, and he jumped up and waved at the two melons in the brick kiln: "Two melons, run, run......"
Ergua, who stayed in the brick kiln to be on guard, saw Xu Shijiu waving at him, but he couldn't hear what he was shouting, so he ran out of the brick kiln in confusion, trying to get closer and hear clearly, but after walking not far, a Japanese plane had already dived down, and then two aerial bombs fell down with a piercing scream.
Ergua was taken aback, and a fierce man plunged into the stinky ditch next to him.
In the next moment, the brick kiln behind Ergua collapsed in the violent explosion, and countless broken bricks and fragments suddenly bloomed like fireworks, which was spectacular, and then another bomber also swooped down, and in the huge explosion, the old cypress tree in the west of the village was uprooted by the shock wave generated by the explosion!
The pilots of the Kisarazu Air Force really didn't blow it.
Xu Shijiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, these two machine gun bunkers and the machine guns inside are definitely finished.
Ergua sat up from the ditch, looked at the ruins of the brick kiln shrouded in smoke and dust, and cried with his head in his hands: "Old Huang, my old cattle, my old cattle......"
