Chapter 103: Before Dawn (Part II)
7.103 Before dawn (below)
At the Japanese position in Majiayao, that is, more than 100 meters away from Liu Yutian, who was stepping on a mine, a Japanese soldier was squatting in the trench and holding a telescope to observe the Chinese officers and soldiers in the minefield. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The Japanese grenadiers next to him were shooting wildly at the road where the Chinese officers and soldiers entered the minefield.
The devil's intention is obvious, they will never allow the Chinese officers and soldiers to retreat along the old road into the minefield! In addition, any Chinese officers and soldiers can advance in any direction! This is actually forcing Luo Laoqi and Liu Yutian's soldiers to step on landmines!
Perverted psychology, perverted Japanese!
"Mixi! Lieutenant Nagao, you've done a great job! Now, let's take a good look at the play! It's a pity that neither the wing commander nor the division commander can see ......"
Arai Shaosa, who was holding a telescope, was the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 63rd Infantry Wing, and the minefield in front of the Majiayao position was set up by Arai Shaosa. From the time when Luo Laoqi and Liu Yutian had just walked into the minefield, Arai Shaozo had received a report from the frontier sentinels, and this Japanese Shaozo, who had a very distorted psychology, had been observing every move of the Chinese officers and soldiers.
"Your Excellency Shaozo, should we immediately eliminate these Zhina? According to the news from the detachment headquarters, the Shina artillery observers in the direction of Liujiahu have been driven to the Majiayao area by our pursuing troops, and it is very likely that these Shina soldiers trapped in the minefield must be eliminated by General Seya! Our third brigade should hold the results tightly in our hands! This is a great opportunity to win the favor of General Seya! ”
Lieutenant Nagao, who commanded the grenadiers to attack the Chinese officers and soldiers, had a somewhat different idea from Arai Shaosa, who neither appreciated nor accepted this game of cat and mouse, and felt that some simple and effective methods should be used on the battlefield!
This game by Arai Shaoza is inevitably too cumbersome! You must know that on the opposite side of the position of the 3rd Brigade is an infantry regiment of the 31st Division of the Shina Army, and Lieutenant Nagao does not want anything to happen.
"Lieutenant Nagao, you are too serious, war is boring, you must learn to have fun in war! I bet with you that General Seya must have given the artillery an order to take revenge on the defenders of Taierzhuangchina! The 31st Division on the opposite side can no longer take care of their observers! It's still a few hours until dawn and we need to find something to pass the time......"
Arai shook his head, as if to show that he regretted Lieutenant Nagao's stodgy. Looking at Arai Shaosa, who was humming a Toei minor tune with excitement on his face, Lieutenant Nagao couldn't help but sigh!
Why are there so many madmen among the mid-level officers of the Imperial Army? These officers, who regard war as their life, are the greatest driving force that pushes Japan to the whirlpool of war!
"Oh! That's right! Lieutenant Nagao! Arai Shaoza suddenly patted his bald head with his hand, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Our guests seem to be too leisurely!" Let the riflemen shoot some bullets into the minefield, and since the rats won't move, the cats should chase after them! ”
Lieutenant Nagao complied with Arai Shosa's orders, and he returned from the edge of the trench to the depths of the trench, and then called two military officers to find suitable candidates for the task. According to Arai Shaosa's request just now, the third brigade now needs several soldiers with outstanding marksmanship.
It is simply easy to find a few soldiers with good marksmanship in a standing army division such as the 10th Division, and all the men of the 10th Division have received rigorous training, and in terms of shooting, the minimum requirement for officers and soldiers of the 10th Division is to meet the good standards in the Japanese Army training syllabus!
In any army squad of the 10th Division, there were several soldiers with excellent shooting skills, and in less than half a minute, two Japanese soldiers Cao came to report to Lieutenant Nagao with seven or eight excellent marksmen.
"Mixi! You guys are here to get ready to shoot, and as for the goals and tasks, Arai Shaosa will tell you later! ”
Lieutenant Nagao's efficiency was once again praised by Arai Shaosa, who patted Lieutenant Nagao's shoulder with his hand and was very enthusiastic.
"Lieutenant Nagao! I think after we take Taierzhuang, you will definitely get your rank of captain! ”
Lieutenant Nagao smiled, which was an expression of his gratitude to Arai Shaosa, he knew very well that what Arai Shaosa said did not have much credibility, and the appointment of a lieutenant to a lieutenant was not within the scope of Arai Shaosa's authority! Only with the nod of General Kei Seya or the commander of the 63rd Wing, Fukuei Shinpei Daisa, can it become a reality! Arai Shaosa was just saying a few words to win over Lieutenant Nagao.
"Your Excellency Shaozo, these excellent archers of the Imperial Army are still waiting for your order! Do you want to shoot the people in the minefield right away? I'm sure it won't take many bullets! ”
After Lieutenant Nagao reminded Arai Shaosa that he had something to do now, he took the initiative to stand behind Arai Shaosa, and it was the principle of Akeshi to protect himself from the junior officer at any time.
Arai walked up to his elite marksman and began to give orders in very incendiary language, the passion in which Lieutenant Nagao lacked, perhaps this is the rank gap between the lieutenant and the adjutant.
"Warriors of the Empire, I have prepared dozens of high-quality prey for you tonight! Now the prey has been driven into the minefield with the help of other warriors! Now all I need you to do is to drive these prey forward with bullets, so that the Imperial Army's mines can be worthy! We're going to let the defenders of China on the opposite side see their allies perish! This is a good opportunity to destroy the will of the people of China! Tomorrow's attack will be made easy by your excellent performance! Ladies and gentlemen! Use the rifles that the Emperor has given you to fight for your own honor! The best warrior tonight will receive a reward! I can reveal a little bit about the prize in advance! That is, the North China Front Army Command sent many 'female forwarders' to our 10th Division from Jinan! But it's all big beauties!! ”
Stimulated by the beauty and honor proposed by Arai Shaosa, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches simply thought that they could occupy the entire Asian continent with the Type 38 rifles in their hands! After a chaotic sound of pulling the bolt, all the excellent Japanese shooters were ready for battle! The Japanese soldiers who were not selected to participate in this operation all cast envious and jealous glances like the selected Japanese soldiers after hearing that the prize might be a beautiful "women's standing up!"
Arai Shaozo wants this effect, Ma Jiayao is not the ultimate goal of the Third Brigade, he wants to use tonight's hunting operation to make the Japanese officers and soldiers of the Third Brigade hungry and thirsty! Of course, it would be better to be able to hit the morale of the Chinese army by the way......
The Japanese soldiers with the 38 big cover quickly rushed to the edge of the trench, and then scattered to find their own preferred shooting position, while Arai Shaosa pulled Lieutenant Nagao back to the original position and waited to see his good performance.
"Lieutenant Nagao! I'm a little anxious right now! ”
Arai Shaosa's complaint made Lieutenant Nagao's stomach churn, and he felt like throwing up.
**************************************************
The devil's firepower is too fierce, and the machine guns and small artillery on the Majiayao position are simply greeting the artillery observation squad and scouts! The Japanese concentrated the firepower of the entire brigade to block a passage, which was simply impenetrable! The artillery observation squad and scouts rushed twice, suffering six or seven casualties, and never managed to break through the Japanese fire network at Majiayao.
In addition, the Japanese artillery bombardment also destroyed the footprints and traces left by the artillery observation squad and scouts when they came, so that the artillery observation squad and scouts lost their instructions to get out of the minefield. The only area they knew was safe now was between the Japanese firepower net and the place where Company Commander Liu stepped on the mine.
Therefore, Luo Laoqi and Liu Yutian, who stayed in the depths of the minefield, soon met with their subordinates again, and under the artillery fire and machine gun interception of the Japanese Third Brigade, the artillery observation squad and scouts were forced to retreat to Luo Laoqi and Liu Yutian's side.
"It seems that it is very difficult for the brothers to get out of here! The current situation is a mine on three sides, and a devil's fire net on the other! It's basically a situation of encirclement! What else can we do? ”
can make Liu Yutian and Company Commander Liu say frustrating words, but you can imagine how bad their situation has been now! Liu Yutian and Luo Laoqi have already understood that they have fallen for the Japanese devils, but there is no regret medicine in the world to sell!
"Lao Luo! Can't you call for artillery fire? If there is really no other way, let the artillery regiment fire at us! Anyway, we can clear a way for the troops outside the city to attack! In the future, when our 25th Army pursues the Isoya Division, it will be used! ”
Liu Yutian's words already had a special color in them, as if he was explaining his last words, seeing Luo Laoqi tinkering under his feet for so long and no progress, Liu Yutian no longer had much hope.
"Lao Liu, don't say frustrating words, it's not time to be cornered yet!"
While arranging for the officers and soldiers to pay attention to vigilance, Luo Laoqi comforted Liu Yutian, who had already stepped on the landmine for a short time, and if he did not have confidence, it would be easy to be psychologically shaken, give up on himself, and make a landmine.
"Smack! Smack! ”
The devil soldiers on the Majiayao position attacked Luo Laoqi and them, and the Type 38 rifle bullets continued to enter the soil at the feet of the artillery observation squad and scouts, and the officers and men of the squad immediately launched a counterattack on the Japanese position.
The artillery observation squad and scouts were trapped in a very small space by the devil's mines, and the Japanese troops were hiding in the trenches, and the lightly armed artillery observation squads and scouts did not carry decent firepower, and the Chinese officers and soldiers were completely at a disadvantage less than two minutes after the start of this firefight, and as the rain of bullets from the Japanese army became more and more dense, the space occupied by the Chinese officers and soldiers who kept dodging the Japanese guns and bullets was further compressed, and if this continued, there would soon be no place to stand!
I don't know if the cabinet was intentional or what, Liu Yutian, who stepped on the mine, did not receive the attention of the Japanese shooters, and the small area where he was located was like an oasis in the desert. In order to prevent the devil's firepower from being transferred to Company Commander Liu, the scouts under Company Commander Liu also deliberately chose to stay away from Company Commander Liu's position to engage the Japanese army, so that Luo Laoqi could be regarded as a little cheap.
"The little devil is really poisonous! Knowing that Lao Tzu stepped on the thunder, he refused to waste even a bullet, Lao Liu, I really didn't say discouragement, eighty percent of us people can't run out! ”
Liu Yutian's words finally leaked the last insistence in Luo Laoqi's heart, he sighed, dropped the bayonet, sat on the ground and said to Liu Yutian: "Lao Liu! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I'm out of line! Your more than 100 catties are destined to be explained here! ”
At this moment, Liu Yutian's heart has completely calmed down, since there is no hope, there is nothing to be afraid of, his originally stiff thighs have slowly regained his intuition, and it seems that all of a sudden, he has changed back to the Liu Yutian who loved to lift the bar before stepping on the mine.
"I can't walk and pull down! Maybe it's Yangshou who has arrived! Being able to die in Taierzhuang can be regarded as my creation! Where there is a commander in command, the battle will be won! Martyrdom for victory, no matter what, is more glorious than losing a battle and eating a gun! ”
Listening to Liu Yutian's words, Luo Laoqi smiled, yes, if you can fight devils under the commander, it's worth dying!
*************************************************
The three Japanese wolf greens always circled around Brother Yong, and from time to time they would try to attack, completely ignoring the bayonet in the front of Brother Yong's rifle. The three Japanese wolf greens seem to have inexhaustible strength, constantly running around. Brother Yong and the five of them kept shooting, but in the dark night, they couldn't beat the fast-moving Japanese wolf youth. This human-dog war is very tragic!
The bullets fired by Brother Yong, Guawa, Lao Han, "Ha'er" and Chuanbao did not hit any of the three Japanese wolf greens, although the bullets flew much faster than the speed of the Japanese wolf greens, but these three Japanese wolf greens did not need to outrun the bullets to survive, they only needed to outrun Brother Yong's aiming movements!
Every time Brother Yong, they didn't have time to use their sights to lasso the Japanese wolf green were escaped by these oriental beasts, and when they finished turning the muzzle of the gun, the Japanese wolf green changed positions again!
From behind Brother Yong, there was a fierce sound of gunfire, and they could hear the sound of a Czech light machine gun inside! The only Chinese troops equipped with Czech light machine guns in that direction were the artillery observation squad and scouts led by Liu Yutian and Luo Laoqi, two company commanders.
Lao Han felt that their fight with the devil army dog should be over! Five people broke off and fought to block the attack, and it was simply impossible to block the pursuing troops of the Japanese army! If the brigade hadn't been discovered by the Japanese army, it would have been worth it to get back some precious time for all of them to get the two company commanders out of danger! The current situation is indeed that the two company commanders have been blocked by devils! Is there anything that does it matter after the break?
"Let's run! Brother Yong! Company commanders, they have already exchanged fire with the devils! It should not have rushed out! There's no point in entangling with these Oriental beasts any longer! Even if we die, we have to stay with the company commander! ”
Brother Yong looked at the ghost soldiers who came out one after another from a distance, and then looked at the Japanese wolf Qing who was wandering around them, and finally he decided to adopt Lao Han's advice and go to join Company Commander Liu! In Brother Yong, a "Withdraw!" After the word was shouted, Lao Han, Chuanbao, "Ha'er" and Guawa turned around and ran, and a Japanese wolf Qing who went around to their rear wanted to pounce on them and intercept them, but they were shot everywhere by five people!
Behind Brother Yong and them, the three Oriental military dogs came together and barked a few times, which was the signal they sent to the devil military dog soldiers behind. After barking, the three Japanese wolf greens followed closely behind Brother Yong and the five of them.
After a while, Brother Yong and the five scouts appeared in Arai Shaoza's telescope, and saw that the number of prey had increased again, and Arai Shaoza was very happy! He asked Lieutenant Nagao to tell the excellent Japanese shooters who were shooting to put the new Shina soldiers in a minefield.
"Interesting! Lieutenant Nagao! Do you see it! These people are followed by three of our military dogs! It seems that the chasing troops sent from the direction of Liujiahu are about to arrive! ”
Arai Shaosa's new discovery seems to Lieutenant Nagao to be a very bad thing, and his worst fears are about to come true! I'm afraid that the exploits of the third brigade will be given away!
"Your Excellency Shaozuo! We can no longer expect the Shina people to step on a mine and die! Once Liujiahu's troops join the battle, half of the honor that our third brigade deserves will be lost in vain! Your Excellency! Please give the order to destroy the people in the minefield immediately! ”
Lieutenant Nagao's tone seemed a little anxious, and Arai Shaosa's good mood was obviously influenced by Lieutenant Nagao, and he said with some impatience:
"Got it! Got it! Lieutenant Nagao! I'll give a new order! You'll be given a new mission, which is to meet the commander of the pursuit force sent by Liujiahu! Tell them that these Shina are the prey of our 3rd Brigade! They don't need to meddle! ”
"Hay!"
Although he knew that this was an almost impossible task, Lieutenant Nagao still did according to Arai Shaosa's orders, not so much that he was blindly obeying his superiors, but rather that Lieutenant Nagao was looking for an opportunity to get away from the crazy Arai Shaosa, and Lieutenant Nagao had developed a serious resistance to Arai Shaosa!
When passing by the grenadiers, Lieutenant Nagao secretly gave the grenadiers the latest order in the name of Arai Shaosa--- shelling the Chinese troops in the minefield! He hoped that before he met the commander of the Liujiahu pursuit force, the Third Brigade had already dealt with the Chinese.
"Company commander! Zhou Dayong rushed over! Looks like they all survived! ”
Liu Yutian's scouts rushed to Liu Yutian's side and reported good news to him, but it caused a burst of anger from Company Commander Liu:
"Good what!? Good what? What is there to rejoice? Quickly send someone to tell Zhou Dayong not to get close to us, I don't want him to become a target for the devil soldiers to practice guns! ”
Before Liu Yutian's soldiers could carry out Liu Yutian's order, Brother Yong rushed to Liu Yutian's side, he pointed to the three Japanese wolf greens that were following not far behind and said, "Company commander! I'm in trouble! The Japanese military dog behind the ass can't be shaken off no matter how much it is shaken! ”
Liu Yutian said angrily: "What's this? Lao Tzu is still stepping on a landmine under his feet! The dog behind your ass is a fart! Why don't we change it? ”
Brother Yong thought that Liu Yutian was joking with him, but when he looked down and saw Luo Laoqi sitting on the ground with a bayonet, and the soil that was picked up from under Liu Yutian's feet, Brother Yong had to accept this fact!
"Company commander! Could this place be a minefield? ”
Brother Yong wants to cry now! Isn't this just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den?
Company Commander Liu gave a roll of his eyes, and then gritted his teeth and said:
"I was going to have someone tell you not to come, but I didn't expect your little rabbit to run so fast! It's good now! It's too late to retreat! I could have left some seeds to go back and blow about Lao Tzu's record! Now it's all smashed! ”
Brother Yong pointed to the three Japanese wolf greens who were dangling in the distance and did not dare to approach the battle area, these beasts actually knew to stay away from places with dense bullets!
"No way, the devil army dog bites very tightly on the back of the butt! There are also the pursuers of the Japanese army in Liujiahu, which is not far away! ”
"What? You have devilish chasers behind your ass? Luo Laoqi, who had not spoken, bounced up from the ground all of a sudden, his eyes widened, staring at Brother Yong. Brother Yong thought that Company Commander Luo was going to blame him for luring the pursuers over, and was about to explain a few words, but he heard Company Commander Luo shouting: "This is great!" ”
Good? What's so good? Liu Yutian and Brother Yong didn't see it at all! They could only wait for Luo Laoqi to say the answer.
"I'll give you a class right away! You must lure the devil's pursuers into the minefield as well! So that the little devil will not dare to shoot and run away! And those dogs behind your ass are also very useful! We can force them to step on mines with machine guns! These Oriental military dogs know how to dodge bullets, but they don't know how to dodge mines! I don't think the area of this minefield set by the Japanese army will be too open! Catch three dogs and rush for a while, and you should be able to get out! ”
Luo Laoqi's idea is also ingenious enough, anyway, he has reached a desperate situation now, and he doesn't care about a dead horse being a live horse doctor! Liu Yutian immediately agreed to Luo Laoqi's method, and the Chinese officers and soldiers in the minefield began to divide into two routes, each doing their own thing.
"Could it be that the people of China have thought of a solution?"
Seeing that the Chinese officers and soldiers in the minefield began to act abnormally, Arai Shaosa's curiosity was aroused!
The scouts and artillery observers in the minefield launched a siege on the three Japanese wolf greens under the command of Luo Laoqi, and rifle and machine gun bullets continued to fall on the side and behind the buttocks of the three Japanese wolf greens, leaving only a straight passage for the Japanese military dogs in the middle!
The Japanese wolf greens who had been rigorously trained by the Japanese army showed keen insight, and three Japanese wolf greens rushed out of the rain of bullets and plunged headlong into the southern minefield that the Chinese officers and soldiers had not yet set foot in!
There are bullets chasing behind the buttocks, the wolf dogs are sprinting fast, when the mines they step on explode, these three Japanese wolf greens have often run out several meters away, seeing that the three Japanese military dogs have cleared a passage of dozens of meters in the minefield, and they are still running forward, Chinese officers and soldiers began to swarm out of the area where the mine was detonated, Arai Shaosa was anxious!
At this moment, a volley of grenades suddenly shot out from the Japanese position in Majiayao and flew towards the minefield! Lieutenant Nagao's arrangement finally worked.
"Mixi! Mixi!! Hurry! Hurry up! (To be continued.) )
