Chapter 372: Dead but Not Stiff
Gunfire rang out a mile to the west, sounding like a storm, the clarion call for the beginning of the battle.
Gao Yidao stood unhurriedly with a rifle hanging bayonet, and his military hat was wrapped around a circle of braided yellow grass for concealment, which seemed to be in harmony with a military uniform.
There was a commotion -- more than 100 people in the vicinity followed and stood up, and the grass-headed soldiers, who looked like a large patch of grass floating out of thin air, clenched their rifles, slashed their bayonets, and waited quietly for the tall company commander to give an order.
"One platoon, south of the road, second platoon, north of the road, parallel to the east, attack forward. Three rows move stones to block the road, and then follow one row to make two echelons. Let's go!"
There was a kicking sound, and the soldiers of the second company rushed out of the woods, methodically formed two loose attack arrows on both sides of the road, waded through the messy grass over the dry shallow pits, and began to advance rapidly to the east.
......
Half of the devil's face was covered in blood, and he was knocked out of the car at the moment when the truck came to an abrupt stop. He shouted loudly in the inclined carriage, urging the living to get out of the car and fight. His rifle had gone nowhere, so he picked up one from among the corpses in the car and got out of the back of the open car.
The wind was howling, the bullets were whistling, and the nearby road was dancing with a cloud of earth mist, which looked weird. The direction of the fire came from the north, the front of the 94-type truck was already crooked in the ditch under the roadbed, and a large area of white water vapor was emerging from the deformed cracks in the hood, making a strange hissing noise, and the clanging sound of the bullet was still incessant.
More than a dozen devils who survived the difficulty of jumping out of the car lay nearby, desperately crawling towards the low place under the roadbed.
The devil soldier Cao squatted behind the rear wheel, wiped a handful of blood that covered half of his eyes, and then came to the driver's door on the co-pilot's side, after the door was pulled open by him, a corpse slid out of the cab directly due to the crooked body, and fell at the feet of Jun Cao, his neck was already bloody, he was the top commander of the convoy, a second lieutenant, and now he became a corpse, the driver in the cab was even worse, half of his head was gone, and his whole body was covered with blood and glass shards.
Jun Cao's consciousness finally sobered up, he let go of the open door handle, followed the chaotic shouting nearby to look west, on both sides of the road behind, a large black spot had appeared, more than 400 meters away, still approaching.
"From now on, this team is under my command! Leave the north alone, defend to the west! We need the machine guns in the car, you two come with me to take out the machine guns......" Jun Cao loudly controlled the chaotic scene, braving the rain of bullets to get into the car again to find the machine gun.
......
The four Datsun trucks pulling grain were all stopped, and they were parked on the road at intervals of twenty or thirty meters, because the first wave of fire was completely concentrated on the rear one, so the drivers of these four vehicles and the assistants in the cab were able to calmly escape from the cab, carrying the southern pistols and hiding under the roadbed on the south side, panicking for a moment and not knowing what to do.
The armored car at the front also stopped, and after finally figuring out the current situation through the range of wired observation holes, the machine gun tower began to rotate slowly, and finally headed towards the firing position on the gentle slope on the north side of the road, less than 200 meters away.
Dada...... Tongues of fire began to erupt violently, and the roaring machine-gun fire seemed to be audible even the crisp impact of bullet casings falling on the metal floor inside the car. Little by little, the machine gun tower slowly turned to one side, and then strafed back little by little, creating one fan-shaped barrage after another, calmly declaring the arrogance of this monster.
......
Wang Penglian had a lot of soldiers, but there were not many bullets, and the concentrated target fired three rows of salvos at the 94 truck, and the effect was not clear, but it was certain that more than a dozen devils jumped out of the car and hid behind the car or under the roadbed. At the same time, Wang Peng also saw that only the people in the cab of the cars in front of him ran down, which proved that the target was right, and the devils who were holding the grain were only these at present, so he immediately ordered the whole company to switch to sporadic free fire to avoid wasting too many bullets, after all, the devils are hiding now.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the monster in front of the line on the highway moved, and the machine gun went off, shooting the entire position with impunity. A soldier was shot, and the other fighters began to shoot back at the monster, which was very big, and no matter how bad the marksmanship was at a distance of less than two hundred meters, it could hit it with eight or nine, but it didn't react, and continued to shoot at the position almost non-stop, so another soldier was shot, which made more fighters grit their teeth and join in the shooting with this monster, and then added casualties.
A burst of earth and fog swept by, Wang Peng raised his head, he couldn't see the details from a distance, he didn't understand, the car can be pierced and broken, why is this weird car not afraid of fighting?
"This! It's so wicked! Machine guns, machine guns! Give him a shuttle and hold it down for me!"
The two machine guns on both sides of the position rang out again, and the two continuous ballistics went straight to the monster on the road, clanging and sparkling, but even so, it couldn't make the monster stop shooting, and Wang Peng hated it so much that he almost gritted his teeth.
......
The road is not wide, although the three-wheeled motorcycle is not big, it takes a little time to turn around, and when the devil turns the front of the car over, jumps into the driver's seat, and holds the machine gun, the one who has just sat in the side fight, and the west behind the gentle slope suddenly resounded like a storm of gunfire, so that the two devils who were about to return to the convoy to inform the situation were dumbfounded. It's an ambush! But it's not the edge of the ditch!
Pop - the sound of gunfire rang out crisply behind him. The devil in the driver's seat of the motorcycle lowered his head, saw a bullet hole in his chest, and immediately leaned over the fuel tank stiffly.
The devil with the machine gun slammed out of the motorcycle side fight, turning the muzzle of the gun to face backwards. Before he could see where the enemy was, and before he could pull the trigger indiscriminately, he was shot several times by the sound of a burst of firing from the top of the mountain, and he lay down bloodily and didn't have time to close his eyes.
On the side of the road, only thirty or forty meters away, a dirty Eighth Route Army crawled out, the loess on his body was simply a natural hidden color, even if there was no dead grass to block it, he might not be able to see that he was a person. He picked up the grenade in his hand, drew his bayonet and hung it on the muzzle, pulled the bolt of his rifle, and walked to the motorcycle on the road.
There was no change in the surrounding environment, only such a sloppy soldier appeared, the gunfire behind the gentle slope on the west side continued to sound, and a crisp shout suddenly came from nearly 100 meters on the other side of the road: "Runny nose, don't forget to bring me those glasses! Did you hear that? I killed the one who was wearing it! Be careful to pick it up, don't break it, do you hear it?"
The body lying on the fuel tank was pierced by a bayonet, and then Liu Jianqiang ripped the body from the car. Two oval colorless clear glass lenses are edged with metal, brown breathable fabric wraps around the metal edge to support the shape of a shallow basket, the part that fits the face is made of brown rubber, with the curvature required by the facial bones, and two tapering brown bands make this beautiful goggles fit snugly around the eye sockets.
In Liu Jianqiang's eyes, this sensational thing is not as valuable as a bullet.
After picking up the goggles, picking off the driver's southern pistol, and carrying the crooked machine gun, and carrying the bullet box in the body, Liu Jianqiang got off the highway and walked to the barren grass in the distance.
A few meters away from the deep ditch that had been dug up, two devil corpses and a motorcycle with their heads facing backwards were still there, but the three wheels of the motorcycle were deflated and the bayonet had a long gap.
......
Wang Penglian was suppressed, although they had nearly two hundred guns and two machine guns, they couldn't afford to fight, and they suffered more than ten casualties, and they didn't have to deal with the monster on the highway at all. Although the monster only has a machine gun, the terrain here is open, and I don't know how many bullets the monster has in its stomach, but I saw that it kept strafing, so that Wang Peng couldn't rush or retreat, so he could only lie on his stomach on the ground honestly.
"Stop shooting!" Wang Peng shouted to the soldiers as he lay in the dirt pit. You can't break that thing at all, how stupid it is to continue to shoot!
"Company commander, the second company has begun to exchange fire with the devils, what should we do next?"
"Cold salad!" Wang Peng was helpless, counting those drivers, there were more than 20 surviving devils, and now most of them are cowering under the roadbed of the last truck, covering the shooting will not have any effect, there is that monster that has been pressing, rushing and can't rush over, what else can I do?
With a deep sigh and another deep breath, he got up again and peered out of the grass at the edge of the pit to the rear of the convoy to observe the progress of the second company.
......
The convoy was lined up on the road, and the armored vehicles in front couldn't take care of the behind, but the devil soldier Cao Cao, who was in danger, set up a temporary position behind the 94 truck at the end of the team, and he gathered the eight drivers under the roadbed, plus the dozen or so devils who survived, and took down two crooked machine guns and ammunition from the car, and fired fiercely to the west to prevent the other party from approaching the convoy.
Gao Yidao and his second company had approached less than 200 meters away from the convoy, although there were grass and shallow pits, but the devil's two machine guns were frantically fighting, crawling forward had to withstand the rain of bullets, close to this distance has been killed and wounded more than a dozen people, want to shoot but there is no devil's ammunition base, had to suspend the advance.
"Company Commander, Company Commander Wang, they have ceased fire!"
Gao Yidao, who was lying in the pit, looked in the direction of the position on the north side of the road, originally wanted to count on Wang Peng to lead the team to rush down horizontally, but now it seems that he can't count on it, the front of the convoy seems to have been ringing machine guns, it sounds like a machine gun, Wang Peng has two machine guns in his hand, not so many people, the machine guns alone are also two to one, can't this be suppressed? This combat effectiveness is not as good as Hao Ping's three companies!
"The platoon stopped moving forward, and it was wasting with the devils here. Three rows are on standby. Gao Yidao suddenly jumped out of the pit with his rifle in his hand, and ran sideways towards the north side of the road.
A rain of bullets immediately sprinkled over, causing smoke everywhere on the road, after crossing the highway in the roar of bullets, the running Black Iron Tower rolled down under the roadbed on the north side, ignoring the bloody wounds on the back that had just been cut by bullets, and ordered the second-row soldiers on this side of the roadbed: "Come out of a squad, prepare grenades, stick to this side of the roadbed and climb forward with me, now!"
The commander of the second platoon in the grass crawled over a few times: "Company commander, I will lead the team, you lead the second platoon!"
"!
Gao Yidao took the lead and began to crawl forward, and more than a dozen soldiers took advantage of the slightly higher road cover around them to climb into a line with the company commander in the roaring rain of bullets......
