Chapter 115: Fighting (5)

Pop - another bullet came, killed a soldier, the body was lying on the ground, Zhang Wei did not fight back, the soldiers did not either, the one who shot the independent company was actually just a Japanese corporal, a 38 rifle, in just one minute, killed two people and seriously injured one.

"Stop, get down on the spot, and get ready to fight."

Zhang Wei quickly crawled down, there was still a distance of more than 50 meters from the dry trench, and the officers and men of the independent company raised their rifles and made a fighting posture.

Qiu Wei looked at Zhang Wei from a distance, intending to ask what to do next, the Japanese army was all hidden in the dry trench, the trench was indeed a good hiding place, but it also had fatal shortcomings, the dry trench was too deep, and the slope was steep, and it was impossible to stand up and shoot, which is why only one person fired back at Zhang Wei, and the Japanese corporal stood at the highest point, leaning on the stones under his feet, and shot at the independent company.

Zhang Wei observed the general situation with the naked eye, and had a general plan in his heart, it happened that there were cannons now, plus grenadiers and machine guns, so the little devil would be fiercely "suffocated" in the ditch.

"Flat-firing guns, try to shoot at the dry trench as much as possible, don't hit inside, just interfere with them with explosions and shrapnel."

"Listen to them all, listen to my orders, the grenadiers will hit the ditch, the light machine guns and rifles will block the dry trench for me, and not a single devil will be spared!" A platoon of soldiers had already completed their combat preparations, just waiting for Zhang Wei's order to fire, nine light machine guns and nine grenadiers, plus a dozen rifles, were enough.

The anti-aircraft artillery squad loaded the shells, first began the bombardment, the guns were ejected and fired at a negative angle, flew fifty meters, and exploded in the open space behind the dry trench.

"Hit crooked, fix the shot!" The range was too long, so it passed the target, and the gunners fine-tuned the barrel upwards, exited the empty powder shell emitting white smoke, and reloaded the shells.

"Boom—poof." This shot hit the inside of the dry trench, and although Zhang Wei couldn't see the effect, listening to the sound and explosion, the Japanese must have felt uncomfortable.

"Baga, rush out!" The Japanese squadron leader scolded, he had just received an artillery shell, and shrapnel killed a soldier, but he didn't expect the Chinese army to attack with artillery, and the squadron leader was in a hurry. "Smack."

The gunfire from above continued, and the corporal was still shooting, and the squadron leader asked eagerly: "How is the situation above?" ”

"There are dozens of soldiers, they have artillery, it's an eleven-year-old infantry gun!" The corporal had served in the army for many years, and by his voice and silhouette, he quickly judged that the Chinese army on the opposite side was using a Japanese-style 11-year-old infantry gun, which was only used by second-line troops and newly formed divisions in the imperial army, while there were many units in the Chinese army that were equipped.

The corporal pulled the trigger again, and the bullet hit a 37-gun squad gunner accurately.

"Rush out, rush out!" The officer brandished his saber, his reaction was correct, and the order was decisive, and the Japanese soldiers quickly climbed side by side to the outside of the trench, and the dust in the ditch also flew away.

"No one else is allowed to fire, only flat-fire guns!" Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and said, on the side of the flat-fire artillery squad, two people have already died, and the current situation does not allow them to transfer the gun position at all.

"Fire. Fire, hit them, hook them! "The artillery squad went crazy, one after another, and the shells hit the inner wall of the dry trench and the top of the ditch, and the Japanese soldiers who were crawling out were blown up like this, and seven or eight people were hit and rolled into the trench. The corporal officer is still dutifully sticking to his post, but the 38 cover in his hand has been replaced by a crooked light machine gun. The bullets fired by the light machine gun wounded two riflemen in a platoon, but fortunately, it was not critical. The Japanese had already crawled out of the trenches, and they did not meet any blows now, except for the fire of flat-fire guns.

"Light machine guns and rifles ready! Flat-firing guns stop firing! Zhang Wei looked at the Japanese army viciously, and more and more people climbed out of the trench, and his goal of using anti-aircraft artillery as a tactical deception had been achieved.

"Hurry up, get back." The Japanese squadron leader was eager to retreat, and at first he was determined to die, but now he found that the Chinese army's surface-fire attack firearms seemed to have only one flat-fire gun, and although they continued to bring casualties to their own people, the damage caused to the fast-moving team was not so great. One by one, the Japanese soldiers climbed up the gentle slope, covering only the light machine gun of the corporal.

Ten, twenty, thirty! That's enough.

"Fire!" Zhang Wei's roar was an order, and the people in the platoon just now were all holding back the fire, and under the strafing of the crooked handles, two more people in the platoon were killed, and all the people were holding back. It's time for the anger to pour out!

Light machine guns and rifles opened fire at the same time, and more than 30 Japanese soldiers who crawled out were attacked, and the formation did not spread at all, and the dozen or so people in the front were hit by strafing and fell to the ground and died, and the gentle slope instantly became a pool of blood and a pile of corpses.

Zhang Wei aimed at a Japanese soldier on a gentle slope, desperately climbed up, the corpse under his feet made him panic even more, held his breath, stabilized his strap, and slowly pulled the trigger.

After the gunshot, there was another body on the ground. In the blink of an eye, less than half of the thirty or so people who came out were left, and the Japanese squadron leader was lying on the ground, lying behind the corpse, and the machine gun on the opposite side hit him, so that he couldn't raise his head, and he blamed himself for being careless, but he didn't expect that the infantry on the opposite side had been hiding his strength, and this firepower density was almost the number of automatic firearms of an infantry company.

"Don't come out of the trenches, the rest of the people, fight back on the spot, and use the corpses as cover!" More than a dozen exposed Japanese soldiers quickly crawled back, and the situation on both sides finally changed, a dozen Japanese soldiers and the independent company fired at each other in a row, and the rest were all nested in the dry trench.

"The light machine guns of the first and second squads blocked the dry trenches, and the third squad ran out." Zhang Wei shouted at the top of his voice, one platoon brought over all the light machine guns in the second and third platoons, and the veterans and non-commissioned officers of each squad temporarily served as machine gunners, and one squad had three light machine guns, which was more than enough to fight. There was a stalemate, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers relied on the corpses and a platoon to shoot at each other, and nothing could be done in the ditch, only a light machine gun of a non-commissioned officer was fighting. It can't go on like this.

Zhang Wei climbed to Qiu Wei's side, and Qiu Wei held a Czech style and suddenly slammed into the opposite side. "Company commander, these devils use corpses as cover."

"I know, Qiu Wei, you take all the grenadiers and the second and third shifts to stay behind to cover, and I take the first squad to go up and fight those who run out. When I rush over, you can use grenadiers to make trenches and don't release a devil!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Wei threw away his rifle, took out a shell gun, and came to a platoon and a squad. "One shift will go with me, and the rest will stay and cover!"

Zhang Wei shouted, and said it to everyone. In addition to the machine gunners and grenadiers, the remaining eight people in the first squad immediately mounted their bayonets and made a posture of preparing for the charge.
