Chapter 109: Defeat
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, more than a dozen soldiers of the 30th Army turned around and attacked the approaching Japanese tanks. However, the Japanese tanks were not only equipped with rapid-fire guns, they also had machine guns, and in the face of machine gun fire, these dozen or so soldiers of the 30th Army who only had rifles could not dodge at all.
"Do these people from the 30th Army have brains, they know that Lu Dao is not an opponent and still have the ability, isn't this rushing to death." Old Northeast's words made Tang Cheng turn around and glare angrily. Although Tang Cheng didn't want the second company and the people of the 30th Army to get mixed up, he couldn't bear to see the people of the national army die under the Japanese machine guns. Tang Cheng's glare failed to stop the chatter of the old northeast, who instead pointed ahead and exclaimed, "It's broken, it's broken, the people of the 30th Army are coming to the village." ”
Tang Cheng quickly turned around and picked up the binoculars again, and the desperate 30th Army, which had been suppressed by the Japanese army, had no choice but to regroup and was rushing towards the village, Tang Cheng guessed that they had taken a fancy to the trench fortifications outside the village. More than 100 soldiers of the 30th Army jumped into the simple trenches outside the village like dumplings, and fired back at the Japanese troops with the clanging of rifles in their hands.
"What are we going to do?" Seeing that the Japanese tanks continued to approach the village, Lao Dongbei and the others were all waiting for Tang Cheng to make a decision, this was not a dry grass ditch, and it was impossible for the second company to block the Japanese tank troops outside the village. Military regulations and laws and regulations do not allow the fear of war and the avoidance of war when the battle is imminent, but it is clear that the road is invincible and still rushes upward, which is something that only a fool can do. Niu Laogui has already retreated to the back of the village with most of the people of the second company, and there are only a few of them left here who are beating the side drums, just to connect with the little devil, I am afraid that I can't do anything to the little devil.
"Look again, look again." Tang Cheng knew what a few of them thought in the old northeast, but there were only 8 Japanese tanks and more than 100 Japanese soldiers guarding tanks outside the village, and there were more than 150 generals and soldiers still alive in Tang Cheng's sight. Knowing that this was the so-called luck psychology, Tang Cheng still couldn't help but pray in his heart that the people of the 30th Army could turn defeat into victory, and Tang Cheng's heart longed for victory.
"Dong" A tank in the middle of the Japanese tank formation suddenly opened fire, and the bright yellow flames and gray-white gunpowder smoke from the burning of the projectile spewed out from both sides of the muzzle brake, making it look like a steel monster smoking a cigar. "Boom" With the shaking of the Japanese tanks, a large cloud of smoke and fire rose from the trenches outside the village, and the huge explosion made Tang Cheng's ears buzz. In the dirt splashed with the explosion, Tang Cheng could clearly see the limbs and blood of people in the telescope, and Tang Cheng didn't have to guess that the machine gun that the 30th Army had just erected was finished.
Another Japanese tank opened fire, and another machine gun in the trenches outside the village was bombed for a long time, and the defenders' already sparse firing almost stopped. Tang Cheng, who was reluctant to put down the binoculars, was just about to retreat, but the scene he saw from the telescope made him close his teeth and tighten his mouth, several soldiers of the 30th Army covered in mud were climbing out of the trenches, Tang Cheng could see the cluster grenades in the arms of those soldiers in the binoculars, and the people of the 30th Army were obviously forced to be in a hurry, this was on the death squad.
Tang Cheng participated in the death squad when he fought in Nanjing, and he knew that the death squad meant that there was no return, and few people who participated in the death squad survived, and Tang Cheng had not heard of a few lucky people like himself. Tang Cheng stared at the rolling or crawling figures with binoculars, cheering for them in his heart, praying that they would not be knocked down by the Japanese guns before pulling the grenade. Xu is God heard Tang Cheng's prayer in his heart, and in the water-splashed barrage, although the daredevils of the 30th Army were slower, no one had been hit by the Japanese guns.
Tang Cheng, who was lying under the low wall at the entrance of the village, had obviously turned into a member of the death squad, and his lying body also kept writhing with the movements of the daredevils, until the daredevils holding the cluster grenades disguised themselves as corpses and remained motionless and hid on the route of the Japanese tanks, Tang Cheng behind the low wall stiffened his body and widened his eyes and stopped moving.
"Kill the devil" with a long shout, the first soldier to pull out the grenade to change fit into the nearest Japanese tank, "boom" explosion, the Japanese tank in the Tangcheng telescope was wrapped in flames and smoke. "Okay" Tang Cheng couldn't help but shout good, the Japanese army outside the village only had 8 tanks, but the 30th Army released 9 daredevils, as long as these tanks were blown up or most of them were blown up, the remaining Japanese infantry would not be difficult to deal with.
The Japanese tanks that rushed out of the smoke opened fire like beasts with their vehicle-mounted machine guns, and the two daredevils who were about to get up and pounce were shot and fell, and the cluster grenades in their arms had not had time to detonate. The turret and the front of the body were scorched black, and the Japanese tank kept spitting bullets, the cockpit hatch was suddenly open, and billowing black smoke poured out of it.
Tang Cheng, who was in a depressed mood, was extremely annoyed by the sturdiness of the Japanese tank, and "boom" was another daredevil's holding a cluster grenade and pounced on the Japanese tank. Flames and smoke enveloped the Japanese tank, and before Tang Cheng could react, an even more violent explosion followed. Although the turret and body of the Japanese tank were not separated, the black smoke rising everywhere still showed its broken end.
"It's well fried" It's easy to let out a bad breath, Tang Cheng slapped the ground with his right hand excitedly, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, and now there were only 7 Japanese tanks left. Two blows were received in succession, and although the vegetation blew up a tank, the Japanese tankers were already a little unbearable. Already the Japanese tanks stopped advancing and lifted the hatch of the tank, and the nervous tank commander pulled out of the hatch and shouted loudly to the covering infantry following the tank.
With a loud "boom", another Japanese tank was shrouded in fire and smoke, and the national army daredevils who blew it up disguised themselves as a corpse, and when the Japanese tank approached him, he suddenly rolled under the tracks of the tank and pulled out a cluster grenade. The successive successes of the daredevils boosted the morale of the 30th Army in the trenches, so far, only three of the 9 daredevils who scattered have detonated their cluster grenades, and the Japanese still have 6 tanks left, but their daredevils are also 6 left.
The Japanese squad leader who was "killing" the tank escort waved his command knife, and the Japanese soldier with a 38 rifle crossed the stagnant tank and mended all the corpses in front of the tank with a bayonet. "Fire, fire, don't let these little devils go." The shouts of the officers sounded in the trench occupied by the rout of the 30th Army, and the gunfire that had been sparse suddenly became dense, and the soldiers of the national army in the trenches all knew what the six remaining daredevils meant.
The Japanese soldiers who were busy mending the corpses and clearing the way for the tanks were caught off guard and fell to the ground, and the remaining Japanese soldiers brushed their brushes and lay down in front of the tanks, shooting at the national army with their 38 rifles. As far as the level of individual shooting is concerned, the soldiers of the Nationalist Army are indeed no match for the Japanese soldiers, and at the same distance and shooting time, regardless of accuracy and rate of fire, the level of the Japanese soldiers is higher than that of the Nationalist Army. The soldiers of the 30th Army in the trenches were shot one after another, which made the defenders' already sparse shooting density even more sparse, and the condescending machine guns on the Japanese tanks also opened fire, and the 30th Army, which was hiding in the trenches outside the village and trying to block the Japanese advance, had already been defeated.
Under the watchful eyes of Tang Cheng and others, the first soldiers of the 30th Army finally quietly ran out of the trenches towards the village, and before the six daredevils of the 30th Army had detonated the bombs, the soldiers of the 30th Army who were hiding in the trenches to attract the fire of the Japanese tanks began to break up in pairs. Tang Cheng, who was lying behind the low wall, turned the direction of the telescope, he didn't look at the soldiers of the 30th Army who had jumped out of the trench and dispersed, he was looking for the six daredevils who might still be alive.
The machine guns on the Japanese tanks began to extend their firepower, chasing the scattered soldiers of the 30th Army, otherwise half of the Japanese soldiers covering them would still mend the corpses on the ground, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers also flattened their rifles and carefully stared at the corpses in front of the tank. Seeing that there was no hope of blowing up the tank, a daredevil, disguised as a corpse, suddenly pulled a grenade when the bayonets of the Japanese soldiers approached him, and the fireballs that burst out not only engulfed him, but also engulfed the two Japanese soldiers who were close to him.
After paying the price of the lives of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, six clouds of smoke rose in a row from the corpses in front of the trenches, and all the 9 daredevils sent by the 30th Army were killed. The stagnant Japanese tanks roared again, and their bulky bodies moved forward with the roar of the engines, directly crushing the trenches outside the village and continuing to pursue the rout of the 30th Army.
It wasn't until he heard the 6th explosion with his own ears, Tang Cheng, who was in an extremely bad mood, ordered to retreat, they had stayed at the entrance of the village for long enough, and they had already found a way out of the village when they came to Niu Laogui. By the time the defeated soldiers of the panicked 30th Army rushed into the village, Tang Cheng had already disappeared into the field behind the village following the mark left by Niu Laogui, and the battle in the village was no longer relevant to the second company.
