Chapter 115: It's Raining
The firepower of the Japanese army is still fierce, and in order to take the Du family's house, they did not hesitate to use heavy artillery, not that Wang Yaowu underestimated Xia Yuan, but in the ruins of such a town, once heavy artillery is used, what the consequences will be, you can imagine.
He's going to prepare with both hands.
The first is the loss of the first line of defense.
In fact, the first line of defense was inconsequential to them, and more importantly, to serve as a buffer for the Japanese attack.
What is really prepared is the second line of defense, relying on the village to build a large number of bunkers and machine gun fire, because of the urgency of time, the buffer of the first line of defense is to buy time for the second line of defense.
"Du's house was lost, and the housing area was basically occupied by the Japanese army."
Wang Yaowu's heart moved, and he heard the head of the 301st Regiment say:
"The second line of defense has been prepared, and there is no problem at all in resisting the Japanese attack, just."
"Just what?"
"If the Japanese army uses the heavy artillery just now, I am worried that the defense line may not be able to withstand the Japanese attack."
The explosion just now was so loud that it covered the roar of the surrounding heavy artillery, and I couldn't imagine what caliber of heavy artillery could make such a loud explosion, and what was its power?
The concerns of the commander of the 301st Regiment were not unfounded.
"Judging from the offensive posture of the Japanese army, it should not be too much of a problem to resist the Japanese army for a few days."
Wang Yaowu thought in an optimistic direction as much as possible.
The roar of the front stopped and the smoke of gunpowder filled, the Japanese devils attacked again, and the sound of scattered gunfire drifted from a long distance again.
"They're still resisting!"
Wang Yaowu showed a look of surprise on his face again, raised his hand, and looked at the time, "It's already past five o'clock, and after holding on for a while, it's getting dark." ”
This situation has completely exceeded Wang Yaowu's expectations, under the roar of the Japanese heavy artillery, whether the position can be held has become a problem, his heart is basically not hopeful, but he never thought that not long after the artillery fire stopped, fragmentary gunfire rang out intermittently.
The gunfire was fragmented, and there were clearly not many survivors.
The gunfire in the south was considerable, and it had hardly stopped since the beginning of the morning, and the gunfire in the north had stopped for a long time and was intermittent, making it easy to wonder if the position had been lost, but not long after the thought arose, the scattered gunfire rang out again.
This has been going on for a whole day.
At this time, in the north, the gunfire began to gradually become more intense.
Xia Yuan took three people and used guerrilla attacks to constantly divide and pull this Japanese squad, and after a few times, the casualties of the Japanese army began to increase.
The Japanese army used heavy artillery to destroy the Du family's house, which was completely unexpected, Xia Yuan originally wanted to destroy the Du family's house, after all, there was a position, the guerrilla was limited, he didn't expect the Japanese army to help him so much, without the Du family's house, the surrounding houses were the same, the Japanese army was bound to destroy the national army first.
Xia Yuan is a veteran of guerrilla warfare, a squad of Japanese troops, plus the previous casualties, only four infantry squads remained, slipped them around, and eliminated another infantry squad, and the remaining three infantry squads The Japanese army obviously felt that the situation was wrong, and instead of continuing the pursuit, they began to arrange defenses in place.
Three infantry squads, as well as a grenadier squad, occupied three pieces of ruins to form an inverted triangle formation.
"The Japanese devils are not chasing." Niu Qian lay on the ground, carefully observing through the cracks in the ruins, and did not see the Japanese devils chasing after him for a long time, and began to mumble.
"The little Japanese devil was scared by us, and he chased all the way and killed a lot of people." The veteran laughed and continued: "After suffering a loss, they also know that they can't chase anymore, and more people will die if they chase after them." ”
The second stunned man was wiping his cheeks with a pit of stagnant water, wiping his face, one black one, one white one, and his face was all flowered.
Hearing the conversation between the two, the second stunned man was happy, he used a machine gun to eliminate a few Japanese devils, and avenged the sacrificed brothers in the company, even if he sacrificed himself, he would not be too lonely along the way, killed a lot of little devils, and beat them on the way.
Wiping his face, he only heard the company commander say: "The little Japanese devils think it's safe to hide, it's useless, it's getting dark now, and when it's dusk, let's get them first." ”
The second stunned man was a lot more happy: "That little Japanese devil never dreamed that the company commander was the most powerful at attacking fortifications." ”
Attacking the fortification is a word that they put forward when they attacked the little Japanese devils at night, Xia Yuan, everyone thinks this word is very good, and the position of the Japanese devils is called attacking the fortification.
The next battle plan was as planned before, the Japanese thought that the house they were in was very safe, and the bullets could not hit them, but they did not know that they were facing an almost all-powerful enemy, several Japanese soldiers hid in the ruins of the house, using the wall as a cover, and put their guns in the gaps, trying to use this way to delay time.
A grenade fell from the roof of the house and exploded in mid-air, with a boom, the dirt on the house fell, and shrapnel splattered in all directions like scattered flowers. Several Japanese soldiers inside were reimbursed for half of them, and the surviving Japanese soldiers had several tiny shrapnel embedded in their bodies and penetrated their clothes.
The steel helmet on their heads saved their lives.
Before the Japanese could react, gunshots rang out from outside the house.
Hearing a muffled snort, a wounded soldier moved to the door, and saw that in the ruins, their Cao Chang was hit by the enemy and fell to the ground, life and death are unknown, not far from him, several soldiers are shooting indiscriminately, two Japanese soldiers quickly retreated, and the invisible grenade flew to the heads of several soldiers, boom, there was no movement, fortunately, the two soldiers ran fast enough and were not affected.
There were only a dozen Japanese soldiers in this ruin, and they couldn't withstand Xia Yuan's fierce attack, so he gave fire support in the rear, and the veterans rushed into the ruins, and the three of them formed a battle group.
It's just that the painting style is a little strange, obviously Xia Yuan is giving fire support, and the veterans are the charge, but there are more than a dozen Japanese devils, only two died in the hands of the three, and the others were all killed by Xia Yuan alone, but the three of them became the bait to attract the Japanese firepower and lure the Japanese out of the bunker.
The three of them are also happy to do this, it seems to be a dangerous task, in fact, it is very safe for the three of them, Xia Yuan's terrifying shooting ability and reaction speed are much higher than ordinary people, even if the Japanese devil sees them and wants to raise his gun to shoot, the moment he raises the muzzle, a bullet has already passed through his body.
The ability to shoot is absolutely top in this era.
The position of the Japanese army on the left flank was quickly knocked down by four people, and when the Japanese troops on the right flank and the rear of the center reacted, the battle on this side was over, and the whole process only lasted ten minutes, and the speed of eliminating the Japanese army reached the fastest.
The Japanese troops who came in were counterattacked by four people and were pushed back.
At dusk, the embers of the setting sun left a golden yellow on the wall, and the veteran counted the bullets, put them in his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it, and swallowed the clouds and smoked the fog.
In the room, more than a dozen guns were leaning against the wall, a box of cans was placed in the corner, the helmets were neatly placed, and the Japanese soldiers' military boots were also taken off by them.
The veteran smokes a cigarette.
Xia Yuan opened a can of canned food and casually picked up two branches from the ground as chopsticks, "The sun is about to set, and the Japanese devils haven't come over yet, so it seems that they don't plan to attack." ”
"yes, I'm scared of us." The veteran smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "It's strange, I never felt that it would be so easy to fight Japanese devils before." ”
"It's better to follow the company commander to fight the Japanese devils, it's cool." Niu Qian lay in the ruins in front of him, with a gun, and when he heard their conversation, he also said happily.
For the flattery of the two, Xia Yuan smiled and gulped down the canned food.
He was really hungry.
Fighting a war is the fastest drain on physical energy.
At present, there is nothing to do, and the Japanese devils are no longer attacking them, which is undoubtedly a good thing, which shows that their combat capabilities are too strong, and even the Japanese devils are afraid.
But this was far from enough, there were still two Japanese infantry squads, as well as a Japanese grenadier squad, and the strength of three squads was actually less than three squads, and these squads were also sacrificed in the previous battles.
What Xia Yuan wanted was to try to wipe out all the remaining Japanese troops after dark.
However, before it was completely dark, and the sun was only halfway down, the second stunned man ran back from a distance.
"Company commander, the Japanese devils have retreated!" The second stunned man brought back a piece of good news, "I just saw that the Japanese devils on the position are retreating behind, and they are not going to fight with us." ”
"What? Ran away!? Xia Yuan was eating comfortably, and when he heard the words of the second stunned, he was somewhat surprised.
"Run, all run." The second stunned said.
"It's so fast, I still thought about waiting for it to get dark, keep these Japanese devils, and kill their reinforcements, but I didn't expect to run away." Xia Yuan wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Second stunned, go and bring the situation here to the division headquarters, veterans, let's go and have a look, don't let these Japanese devils kill again." ”
"Good!"
The retreat of the Japanese devils was unexpected by Xia Yuan.
According to the previous offensive pattern of these Japanese troops, they first knocked down their positions, and then held their positions, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
But today, it seems that these Japanese devils have changed their previous battle plan, and they have all retreated before it even gets dark, and the idea of encircling the point to send reinforcements has also failed. Don't look at the small number of them, but their combat ability is not weaker than that of the Japanese army, especially at night, it is Xia Yuan's world.
Not to mention three infantry squads, it is a squadron of Japanese soldiers, Xia Yuan can fight them with them by relying on the cover of night.
Forget it if they ran, Xia Yuan didn't bother to chase them to prevent these Japanese devils from killing them, Xia Yuan followed the three of them for a distance, and found a position, and squatted until it was dark, and there was no Japanese devil in sight.
"It seems that the Japanese devils will not fight again tonight." Xia Yuan put away the gun and stood up: "Let's go, go back and take the guys, let's withdraw too." ”
Today's battle is over, and the Du family house on the north side has suffered huge casualties, but it has also caused huge casualties to the Japanese army, and their casualties are nothing.
It's just that those who came out of Luodian with Xia Yuan are basically dead, but the scholars who didn't follow him and stayed in Jiading are still alive.
The sky was gray, and the phoenix blew again, blowing people cold.
It seems to have cooled down.
Xia Yuan sat on the stone slab of the ruins, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the sky, tonight was not destined to be too calm, as if it was going to rain, which also cast a haze on his heart.
When I was fighting, I didn't feel that when I really calmed down, my surroundings were quiet, and my heart was empty, all kinds of complicated emotions would come to my heart.
The skill of calmness is playing a role again, and under such a mutual hedge, his mood is also sullen.
took a deep puff of the cigarette, the bright flame of the cigarette butt moved backwards, burned to the buttocks, and then threw away the cigarette butt, and exhaled a long breath, together with the nicotine smoke and the boredom in his heart, and exhaled together, only then did he feel a lot better.
When you are young, your parents will take care of your emotions. In adulthood, individuals need to regulate their emotions.
Deep in the battlefield, it is easy for personal emotions to collapse, especially in the face of danger and a large number of people around you who have died in battle.
A hint of coolness fell on the palm of his hand, Xia Yuan raised his head and felt small droplets of water fall on his cheeks.
"It's raining."
"It's good if it's raining, and it's going to dispel the slightly restless atmosphere of the battlefield."
The old soldier put everything away, came out of the house, felt something fall on his cheek, and exclaimed: "It's so good that it's raining, I'm thinking about being thirsty, but I didn't think of what I lacked." ”
"Ran out of water?" Xia Yuan took out the kettle from his waist and shook it, the water in it had already dried up.
"It's long gone, and the logistics haven't come up." The veteran sat beside Xia Yuan and said: "Company commander, did you say that the commander of the 51st Division forgot about us, it has been a day of fighting, and the eggs have not been delivered, even if you don't support it, the logistics are not guaranteed." ”
The veteran complained, and the rations were still seized from the Japanese devils.
"Bear with me, and I'll go back and take a look in the middle of the night." Xia Yuan felt that the rain above his head was gradually getting heavier, and patted his buttocks, "Go and rest first, I haven't rested well for a day, and I'm starting to get sleepy at this time." ”
The little Japanese devils are a little like the American army, at night, they will give up the attack.
At this time, the national army had no offensive mission, their task was to defend, block the enemy, and prevent the enemy from continuing to advance.
At present, the situation in the Songhu battlefield is very complicated, the troops in the south have begun to retreat, although the defenders in the direction of Luodian have retreated for a distance, they have not retreated too far, they just retreat from Luodian, using the surrounding villages and towns to block.
In front of the 51st Division was a small town, around which the two sides were currently fighting.
It's just that the two sides have not invested many troops, similar to the level of petty fighting.
