Chapter 10: Conspiracy
In the east, a red sun is rising, and a few clouds around it are immediately blooming.
As the commander of this wave of attacks, Kameda Sugishita Osa rode a tall horse in the middle of the team, he was checking the situation in the north of the cotton boat town, his eyes were pierced by a ray of sunlight, he subconsciously had his right hand to block, and then shouted fiercely: "Stop attacking!" ”
"Stop attacking!" The command wave is passed on. More than 3,000 Japanese soldiers retreated one after another, and those in the front lay on the ground, and stopped firing with their guns pointed at the rudimentary fortifications in the streets north of the town. The baggage soldiers and medical soldiers took advantage of this time to begin to collect the corpses of the fallen officers and soldiers, and they lifted some of the corpses and threw them into a designated large pit, and gradually, the number of corpses in that pit attracted the attention of many devil soldiers.
The battle had only been fought for less than half an hour, and hundreds of soldiers had already fallen here, which made them shiver, wondering if they would be next.
"There are no gunshots on the other side!" Kameda Sugishita explained to his chief of staff that he was going to order the attack to be stopped.
The Cadet Army's defensive firepower, which had always been fierce, suddenly stopped, made one wonder if the defenders were brewing some conspiracy.
Kameda Sugishita was too cautious. Of course, this may only be because his opponent is a cadet.
The Japanese officers who had not fought with the Cadet Army, although they had heard a lot about how the Cadet Corps was brave and good at fighting, although they also said that they should be cautious, but they still disagreed in their hearts, and then, they suddenly bumped their heads and broke the bloodstream, but they suddenly became cautious, and even too cautious.
Zhang Cunbao is indeed very good at fighting, but there is a premise for this, that is, he must have enough strength in his hands. However, now he has a total of about 100 people in his hands, and even if he has the heart, it is no longer enough to launch a "conspiracy" that can change the tide of the war.
However, Zhang Cunbao has no conspiracy, but it does not mean that others do not. It turns out that Kameda Daisa's judgment is still very strong.
The battalion sent by Xu Feng to support Cotton Boat Town (actually escorting Bai Tassel away) arrived at this most critical time. The battalion commander, Xiao Changshui, was originally from Orion, and what he was best at was special operations such as surprise raids.
After receiving the report from the scouts in front, the battlefield of Cotton Boat Town had arrived, and the defenders had fallen into an extremely unfavorable situation, he did not rush to invest his troops, but pondered how to use the limited forces in his hands to temporarily change the situation of the battle, so as to gain a certain amount of time so that he could complete the mission given by Brigade Commander Xu.
There was originally a mixed forest in the southwest of Cotton Boat Town, which grew quite luxuriantly, but after the destruction of artillery fire in the past few days, many large trees in the mixed forest were blown down, and many bushes were razed to the ground because of the fire. Now, Xiao Changshui and his people are hidden in the miscellaneous forest, they lie among the ashes of the grass and trees and the stumps of the broken stubble, and many people use local materials to paint their faces and helmets black with grass and wood ashes.
"The little devil has stopped, strange!" A company commander named Li Liang leaned beside Xiao Changshui and whispered.
"Wait, get the brothers ready, as soon as the little devils attack again, we'll rush up from here! Tell the brothers to keep hitting the front, no matter what happens! Xiao Changshui ordered.
The order was passed on by the cadets alternately, and soon more than 300 officers and men of the battalion received it. Many people began to organize their guns and ammunition, and some even hung all their grenades around their necks, ready for a surprise fire.
Five minutes later, the little devil made a move, and the devils of a squad of devils under the command of a captain got up cautiously, and then lined up in a straggler formation, holding the 38 big cover and touching the entrance of the town.
"The little devil is timid!" Zhang Cunbao witnessed this scene and said in a low voice.
Jiang Xiaodong stretched out his hand and pulled the brim of the helmet, and said in a low voice: "Just put it in and solve it by hand." ”
"The number of people is a bit large, this group of devils is obviously a tentative attack - let Xue Feng lead people to fight a dozen! Be sure to be fast. ”
Xue Feng is the commander of the sniper platoon, and after fighting so far, there are only four people left in the sniper platoon, including him.
The combat mission was quickly delivered, and Xue Feng immediately led his men into battle.
The quiet battlefield made the little devils even more nervous. Under the leadership of a team leader, more than 30 devils touched the entrance of the town under the gaze of thousands of people, and when there were still more than 30 meters away from the defenders' fortifications, a devil couldn't hold back his nervousness and suddenly pulled the trigger. "Horn!" A crisp sound alarmed the other devils, and many people immediately followed suit, and when they landed, the simple fortifications in front of them were beaten to a "pop" sound.
Kameda Sugishita took a closer look at the battlefield with a telescope and found that the defenders had not returned fire for a long time, and he couldn't help but think, "It can't be an empty castle plan, right?" "As he pondered when the defenders had withdrawn, one soldier fell on his back in his camera, and then another. In an instant, the three devils who rushed to the front, along with a machine gunner, were knocked to the ground.
"Charge!" The sudden explosion of gunfire made the tense nerves of the squad leader finally find a cathartic point, he hissed, pulled the trigger mercilessly, fired all the bullets in the pistol, and then rushed forward while changing the magazine.
"Bang!" With another crisp sound, a blood-colored rose suddenly bloomed in the center of the squad leader's eyebrows, and the next moment, he fell down on his back.
This time, the student who fired the gun was caught by Kameda Sugishita. He only saw a camouflage figure flashing from a corner, and his mood was relaxed—it was an empty city plan, and only a few people were left behind! "I order, all attack!" He brandished his command knife and gave the order to attack.
"Wow!" The little devils who had been prepared for a long time swarmed up, and the devils of the front brigade got up from the ground and rushed forward with guns. "Da Da Da!" The gunfire of the Type 92 heavy machine gun rang out rapidly, and a row of bullet holes appeared on the ruins of the houses around the entrance of the town.
"Wait!" In the face of the Japanese army's flood of offensive, Zhang Cunbao's eyes were bright and he shouted calmly.
The cadets clenched their steel spears, leaned their backs against the rudimentary fortifications, and pricked up their ears, not daring to let go of the slightest strange noise.
The more than 30 devils who were the first to be tempted were killed more than 10 people in just five minutes. The others did not dare to attack with great swagger, and they lay on the ground, gasping for breath, waiting for the large army to rush up.
Zhang Cunbao gritted his teeth and silently calculated the distance. Finally, when the group of devils who lay down stood up again to join the charging queue, he shouted: "Fight!" Then he pulled the trigger first.
"Woohoo...... Da-da-da-da! Nearly 100 guns of the Wei Qing Department and the Department of Sickness suddenly sang together at the same time, and hundreds of bullets spilled out in an instant.
