Just when Matsui Ishine, in order to avoid responsibility, was admitted to the hospital before the order from the headquarters arrived, Sotake Yamamuro gave the order to attack.

When the people in the concession who were having breakfast were still immersed in the joy of Xie Jinyuan killing the Japanese lieutenant general, the sound of artillery rang out suddenly, and then the machine gun played music.

The Japanese are attacking again!

All the people who heard the gunfire put down their work and ran to the bank of the Suzhou Creek, standing on the embankment, looking at the Sixing warehouse not far away.

With the sound of cannons, Dong Ku unceremoniously ordered: "Listen to the order of the gun emplacements on the third floor, destroy all the artillery on the opposite side, and stand by after destruction!" ”

The three anti-aircraft guns on the third floor opened fire in the tom of Dong Ku's order, and one after another the shells fell on the artillery position a kilometer away, and the three guns were each responsible for a position, and the shells were fired rapidly and violently.

The shells flying from the Sixing warehouse were extremely accurate, so that the Japanese artillery was constantly blown up in the fire, although there was no martyrdom, but the 92 infantry guns could not withstand the bombardment of the 88 caliber German anti-aircraft guns, and in the loud noise, one cannon was blown up.

The 60 mortars were even more unbearable, and the shelling began to be blown up in just five or six minutes, and the entire position with a range of several tens of meters ceased to exist in the smoke of gunpowder, and only four of the more than 30 mortars were snatched out, and all the others were blown away by the fast-flying shells.

The battle was lost, but Yamamuro Munetake was not discouraged and did not give the order to stop the attack. The Japanese army took advantage of the ruins to quickly lean towards the warehouse, a straight machine gun was erected on the broken wall, and then, the fire flickered everywhere in front of the warehouse, and no less than 100 machine guns sprayed tongues of fire, pouring bullets into the warehouse, creating conditions for the charging Japanese troops to charge.

The people who flocked to the banks of the Suzhou Creek could not see the battle situation in the smoke of gunpowder, and they all watched with wide eyes in the fierce explosions.

in the crowd. The figures were holding binoculars and were also observing the other side, they were all foreigners.

"Kill all the machine guns!!"

Dong Ku shouted on the second floor, and then the semi-automatic was triggered. The semi-automatic that had removed the silencer slammed rapidly for just two seconds. All ten rounds were fired.

"Huh?"

Dong Ku paused for a few tenths of a second at the moment when the bullet was empty, replaced the magazine like lightning, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Guns are fired faster than before......

This thought flashed, and the gun in his hand rang out again, and the thud was like the gunfire of an automatic gun, extremely dense.

With the sound of his gunshots, the machine gunners in the distance shot their heads one by one, and it was not the Heavenly Spirit Cover that was lifted off. It was a small hole in the steel helmet, and in just a dozen seconds, the piece that Dong Ku shot, along with the deputy shooter, was all killed, making the muzzles of five or six machine guns soar into the sky and there was no movement.

At the same time as Dong Ku was shooting, the gunfire on the second floor suddenly intensified. Those machine gunners were the first to be noticed, thumping into the sound of gunfire. One by one, the machine gunners lay down, and the tongues of fire disappeared one by one.

The sound of gunfire was not diminished by the fact that those machine guns stopped firing. When the Japanese machine guns stopped one by one, with Xie Jinyuan's roar in the warehouse, all the light and heavy weapons in front rang out.

The officers and men of the Nationalist Army stared at the Japanese soldiers who had approached a hundred meters by the ruins. According to the shooting essentials learned yesterday, calmly pulled the trigger, the accuracy has been improved, and with the cooperation of the machine gun, the charging Japanese soldiers fell down one by one.

The Japanese army lay on the broken wall. Shoot at the firing port, but can't charge forward. Dozens of meters in front were open areas, and the charge, under the strafing of machine guns, was undoubtedly looking for death.

As the guns were fired, the grenadiers were erected one by one, and in the tom, one by one, the small grenades flew towards the warehouse.

On the third floor, at the moment when the artillery fire on the opposite side stopped, it also died down, allowing the Japanese grenadiers to take advantage and no longer fire.

The grenade landed on the concrete wall of the warehouse, bursting into flames and puffs of smoke, which could not cause damage to the thick concrete wall, but served as a cover for the charge.

At the moment when the explosion sounded intensively, the Japanese troops hiding in the ruins more than 100 meters away poured out like a tide, howled, and launched a full-line charge towards the warehouse.

Covered by smoke, the Japanese charge loomed, which greatly reduced the accuracy of the shot. But the role of the machine gun was manifested at this moment, and the machine gunner lowered the muzzle of the gun, crooked the handle and the Czechs roared, and poured a rain of bullets, blocking the Japanese charge.

At the moment when the Japanese army fell in pieces, Dong Ku went downstairs, walked a few steps to Xie Jinyuan's side and said: "General Xie, leave the machine gun on the side, stop two-thirds of the way in the middle of the charge, and don't fire all within 50 meters." ”

"What? Stop two-thirds? ”

Xie Jinyuan was stunned, and looked at Dong Ku in confusion, but still ordered: "The second and third platoons of the machine gun platoon stop shooting, and the Japanese troops should not shoot within less than fifty meters!" ”

With Xie Jinyuan's order, the dense gunfire in the warehouse immediately weakened, but the speed at which the Japanese army fell was not slow, in the sound of bang bang bean like rifle shooting, the Japanese army's charge spread this plasma, still could not rush to within 50 meters, in less than two minutes, within 100 meters was covered with a layer of Japanese corpses.

It was only at this time that Xie Jinyuan understood the general meaning of Dong Ku. It turned out that the moment the machine gun stopped, the semi-automatic sound of all the Huya members on the first floor rang out, and in the thump of gunfire, the bullet casings clanged and fell to the ground. As their guns rang out, the charging Japanese soldiers fell down in pieces, and the effect was no worse than a dozen light machine guns, or rather, more fierce than the machine gun fire that stopped a platoon.

No matter how tactically the Japanese army moved, they could not avoid the piercing of bullets, and most of the headshots, and those who did not get headshots were also shot in the chest, and the chances of survival were very slim.

Yamamuro Sotake looked at the battlefield from a hidden place in the distance, the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt, the opponent's artillery could completely cover his own attacking team, but after shelling the artillery position, not even the grenadier bombardment, the heavy machine guns on the opposite side stopped most of the time, and the light machine guns were also less than half, and the sound of the dense rifles was not heard too much.

Are they running low on bullets? Lack of ammunition?

Yamamuro Sotake squinted his eyes and pondered, turning back to express his doubts.

Lieutenant General Masaki Ito of the 101st Division also noticed this, he looked at the fierce battle in front of him and said: "The other side seems to be short of ammunition, I heard that yesterday they emptied all the corpses of the soldiers who attacked for the first time, and left all the bullets and guns behind, maybe it was really a lack of ammunition." ”

Yamamuro Sotake looked back at the fierce battle position of the falling figures, narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's try and know the way." As he spoke, he ordered, "Erect twenty mortars, target warehouses, and stop the attack!" ”

Following his order, the charging Japanese retreated to the sound of gunfire and retreated to the ruins to defend the warehouse.

The sound of gunfire, suddenly still. The attack of just ten minutes left a large number of corpses in front of the warehouse, and also made the people who had been able to see the battlefield abnormal, and they did not dare to cheer loudly, but also talked about it, and the Japanese attack was repulsed.

Before they could sink into the heat, the roar of cannon fire rang out again. With the sound of cannons, smoke rose from around the warehouse, and soon, the warehouse was enveloped.

The Japanese shelled again!

On the bank of the Suzhou Creek, the hearts of all the people watching the battle were pulled up again.

As soon as the shelling on the opposite side began, the three firing ports on the third floor erupted fire almost simultaneously, and clouds of smoke and light gushed out, and then, the sound of the Japanese artillery that had just been bombarded pleasantly immediately became chaotic, and the position was exposed to a ball of fire, and in less than a minute, the artillery position fell silent again.

"Yaga!"

At the moment when the shelling on the third floor ended, Yamamuro Sotake cursed and ordered: "Charge with a squadron!!" ”

With his order, the Japanese grenadiers roared again, and in the smoke rising, the figures rushed towards the warehouse like ghosts.

"Keep the rhythm of the last round and fire!"

Xie Jinyuan held a 38 big cover, and in the midst of a loud shout, he pulled the trigger.

Then, the gunfire in the warehouse was reading intensively, and the sound of the 38 big cover, Mogan, and the mixed Zhongzheng rifle sounded intensively, making the Japanese soldiers who were charging on the ground fall to the corpses of their comrades on the ground.

But after more than a hundred, more than a hundred people rushed forward in waves, and the distance was getting closer and closer in the pile of corpses.

On the first floor, all the rifles kept ringing, and in the sound of banging, the advancing Japanese troops kept falling, and there was no money to go further, and they had to pay the price of blood.

The battle was extremely fierce, but Xie Jinyuan had already heard that the second floor would only burst out when the Japanese army was approaching, and when the next wave of the Japanese army was sixty or seventy meters away, the second floor was silent again.

Good! This saves bullets!

After Xie Jinyuan knew that it was impossible for the Japanese army's charge to pass the interception on the second floor, he concentrated on shooting while being steady.

The battle continued in waves of attacks, and Yamamuro Sotake was already iron-hearted, and he did not stop attacking during the non-stop bombardment of grenadiers. He guessed that the other side must not have much ammunition, otherwise, how could he miss the opportunity to reduce the pressure of gun blocking?

Four hours later, the gunfire on the second floor rang out intensively, and the alternate national officers and soldiers on the first floor also replaced their comrades-in-arms with trembling fingers, and continued to shoot with a full load. The machine guns that had stopped were divided into two groups, and the stairs hit the companions who had been in the morning, replacing them for dinner.

Ma Si took the oil cake baked by the cook, rolled a strip of bacon, his fingers trembled, handed it to Yuan Sihai, and said with great respect: "Brother, don't eat your dry things, come, eat a piece of oil cake." ”

Yuan Sihai was not polite, reached out to take it, took a bite, and said indistinctly while chewing: "Fourth Brother Ma, I hit it in the morning...... There are 200 rounds...... No bullets? ”

"Yes, it's just a lot more, but it's not as much as your brother, I'm afraid you're going to exceed five hundred, look at that pile of shells......" (To be continued......)
