Chapter 72—The Battle of Madang (19)
The gunshot rang out like beans, and although Jiu Bao dodged back in time, he was still shot in the right leg, and he fell down with a wail.
Deserted Village Taisheng didn't think that there was a problem with Changbao's words, he saw that the rebels on the mountain were so ignorant, his face instantly turned pale, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Since they insist on begging for death, then let them be fulfilled, attack!" ”
"Da Da Da!" The gunfire of the Type 92 heavy machine gun rang out. The Japanese machine gunners had already begun to aim, and this time they suddenly opened fire, and when they landed, two Taiwanese soldiers on the mountain were hit in the head, and they fell to the ground without snorting.
The range of the heavy machine guns far exceeded that of the 38 big covers, and as many as four heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the Taiwanese soldiers were so crushed that they could not raise their heads. At the same time, the Japanese army began to charge, and more than 300 gendarmes with 38 large covers, and a few people with submachine guns, rushed up the hillside in a loose infantry phalanx.
Lin Haifeng lay on the ground tightly, listening to the bullets raging in his head, and the branches behind him were beaten to a popping sound, he said to Guo Dai: "This can't be done, you have to kill the little devil's heavy machine gun first, otherwise you can't fight back at all." ”
Although Guo Dai has been a firehead army recently, he has been in the front-line army before, so he naturally knows these battlefield common sense. He shouted to Chen Laifu who was not far away: "Old Chen, you bring a few good marksmanship to finish off the heavy machine gun." Stay safe! ”
"Good!" Chen Laifu agreed, called out to a few soldiers who thought he was better at marksmanship, and several people immediately ran to the left side of the mountainside, and then relied on the cover of the woods to cross the hillside and appear in front of the hillside.
The deserted village may want to solve these rebels more happily, too, in their minds, being able to give Taiwanese the opportunity to join the imperial army is a gift in itself, however, these greedy Taiwanese do not know how to be grateful, and they dare to rebel, which he cannot tolerate.
"After all, it is a despicable Shina people, and it is impossible to integrate with the noble Yamato nation!" Thinking so in his heart, he looked at the green helmet occasionally exposed on the hillside, the killing intent spread in his heart, and the right hand holding the command knife became even harder.
The battle was overwhelming from the beginning, with four Type 92 heavy machine guns pressing down on the formation, and Guo Dai and them had no power to resist until the Japanese army was halfway up the mountain. Three hundred gendarmes marched forward with their guns at their waists, most of them with hideous expressions on their faces. There was no doubt that their thoughts were the same as those of the deserted village, they didn't want to be captured alive or anything, and what they were looking forward to most now was to send all the more than 100 rebels north of the hillside to hell.
The counterattack finally began, as Chen Laifu killed one of the machine gunners with one shot, and immediately after, the other three main main shooters were sniped. At the moment when the machine gun suddenly stopped, Guo Dai shouted: "Fight! The Taiwanese soldiers raised their heads, raised their guns, and the firing began.
There are still advantages to being condescending, the most obvious being that because of the cover of the hillside, only half of the upper body of the taller person is exposed, and the target they want to aim at has to show the whole body. A round of grenades was thrown, and more than a dozen of the gendarmes who rushed to the front fell, and the others immediately lay on the ground, however, this round of shooting still brought down nearly twenty gendarmes. Later, the machine guns rang out again, and this time they didn't think long before they stopped again. Chen Laifu had already mastered the firing point, they were lying there, quietly aiming, and the sub-machine gunner made up for it, but it was just automatically entering their crosshairs.
The battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and after the last round, after about 40 gendarmes fell and nearly 20 people died in Taiwan, the deserted village reluctantly issued an order to retreat, and the first round of attack ended in a hurry.
Now that the battle has begun, and since there are already comrades around them who have died, the fear in the hearts of the soldiers has also diminished - they are now relying more on instinct to fight.
Guo Dai had never been a commander before, but now, due to the situation, he had no teacher to master the rhythm of the battlefield very accurately. The Japanese had just begun to retreat, and he immediately shouted: "Retreat, hurry!" ”
Lin Haifeng had very little combat experience, and he was still a little puzzled, but Guo Dai didn't explain anything to him, and ran away when he pulled him up. The group quickly withdrew down the hillside, and they had just reached the base of the hill, where they had been staying before, several grenades hit and exploded. Several large clusters of fireworks rose up, and one of them was where Lin Haifeng was lying just now, and he felt a trace of fear.
Chen Laifu and the others were too far away, so they had just run there at the moment, and two soldiers couldn't dodge, and were engulfed by a ball of artillery fire, and then they couldn't stand up again.
The shelling lasted about ten minutes. Guo Dai lay on the ground and listened quietly, and suddenly, he stood up and said, "Rush up, hurry, seize the high position!" Then he took the lead and rushed upwards.
His reaction had already earned the respect of the fighters, and everyone rushed forward almost without hesitation. More than 20 meters away from the top of the hillside, Guo Dai took out a grenade and unscrewed the lid and said, "Prepare the grenade!" ”
Lin Haifeng also had two grenades on his body, and when he heard this, he immediately learned to unscrew one and hold it in his hand.
Guo Dai's judgment was quite accurate, and the Japanese army could rush to the top of the mountain no more than a few minutes later than them. He was the first to rush to the top of the mountain, then looked at it, and then pulled the rope and threw the grenade in his hand. With him as an example, the dozen or so people who followed him threw grenades in their hands without looking.
The grenade was thrown, "Da Da Da!" "The Type 92 heavy machine gun rang out.
A grenade dragged a faint cloud of smoke towards his head, and Rao is deserted village thinks he is brave, but he is also stupid. "Eight grids!" He cursed and was thrown to the ground by one of the gendarmes behind him. "Boom", the grenade exploded, he only felt a shock on his body, and then something wet dripped onto his neck, he turned his head to see that the gendarme's head was tilted to the side, and his eyes were closed.
The grenade continued to explode because it was so close that even lying down could not effectively avoid the shrapnel that exploded. In this round of attack, the Japanese suffered even more serious losses, and more than 30 gendarmes fell directly into the smoke and flames from the grenade explosion. Immediately afterwards, the gunfire of the 38 Dagai rang out, because the military police of the brigade blocked the firing route of the heavy machine guns, so although the heavy machine guns were still roaring, they actually played more of a symbolic deterrent role.
The deserted village was very decisive, seeing that there was nothing to be done, he did not give the order to attack, and immediately gave the order to retreat. So, in this round of attack, they lost again.
In this round of counterattacks, the Taiwanese soldiers achieved even better results, killing at least 60 devils. Looking at the devil soldiers lying everywhere on the front of the hillside, many Taiwanese soldiers laughed, and some people smiled proudly: "His grandmother's, it's really enjoyable, the feeling of killing devils is really cool." ”
Guo Dai didn't laugh, he walked up to Lin Haifeng and asked in a low voice, "Taihu guerrillas, will they really come?" ”
Lin Haifeng nodded affirmatively.
Guo Dai smiled and said with a sigh of relief: "Then, we may leave some seeds behind." Brother Lin, please do something. ”
"Hmm."
"I'll pick ten people to stay for sniping, and you can retreat with the others. Go and meet the Taihu guerrillas, and ask them to send them across the river. If possible, I hope they don't go to the front line, Taiwan still needs them. ”
Lin Haifeng looked at him and said, "Guo Dai, I don't like to hear what you say. I don't have much combat experience, but I don't think the situation has come to this point, right? The Taihu guerrillas will really come, and they will hold out for another half an hour at most. How? Don't you want to see Taiwan return to the bosom of the motherland in person? Although the current situation in Taiwan is very difficult, let me tell you, our commander-in-chief said that as long as the student army still exists, as long as he is still alive, he will not give up. Don't look at me like that, I don't mean to be superstitious about our commander-in-chief, I just trust him. Hehe, when you understand the whole process of the development and growth of our student army, you will also believe him. ”
"Then I'll believe him once! Brother Lin, I'm in front of your face. ”
"Thank you."
The reason why Lin Haifeng lured Taiwanese soldiers here was really because he had an agreement with the Taihu guerrillas.
As early as when Renqiu was in the army, he had contact with ***. Ouyang Yun's support for the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, as well as the move to send new recruits to the Northeast, made *** realize his kindness from the beginning. With the deepening of the cooperation between the two sides in Fujian Qingyuan tungsten mine, the relationship between the two sides has made a qualitative leap.
In the Chongqing Incident, because of the different positions, there were certain differences between the Xuebing Army and the Army, but compared with the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, this was not a big deal, so it did not affect the basic positioning of the relationship between the two sides. There were numerous guerrilla forces in the Japanese-occupied areas, and the Cadet Army also maintained a sizable Fox Pupil organization in these areas. As early as the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the agents of the fox pupil had contact with the *** underground organization, and in Taihu Lake, Lin Haifeng and Huang Laiying, the captain of the Taihu guerrillas, had cooperated many times in the matter of hoeing and rape, and had established considerable trust and tacit understanding.
Two days ago, he personally went to a fixed base of the guerrillas to see Huang Laiying and ask for help. And Huang Laiying proceeded from the overall situation and agreed without mentioning any conditions. In Lin Haifeng's heart, *** is much more trustworthy than the people in the military command, so he is not worried that Huang Laiying will release his pigeon at all.
What Lin Haifeng and Guo Dai didn't know was that when they were talking about Huang Laiying and the Taihu guerrillas, Huang Laiying had already led the main force of the guerrillas to appear in Yangfengzui, which was about two kilometers away from Leijiazui. The base of the Taihu guerrillas was in Luzui, and in order to rush to Leijiazui as soon as possible, Huang Laiying specially mobilized about 10 fishing boats and crossed the lake directly.
"Hurry up, comrades, the Taiwan compatriots are still waiting for our support, they just did it anyway, we can't make people's hearts cold!" At the urging of Huang Laiying, the guerrillas rushed forward lightly and quickly ran towards Lei Jiazui.
