Chapter 45: Forced to retreat
"What are you talking about, you go back and take a closer look, can we escape into the woods?" Tang Cheng's expression was very strange now, he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing, Hou San cautiously turned around and looked around a few times according to his words, and when he turned around again, the expression on his face was almost no different from Tang Cheng. According to the river, it was a good way to get out, but unfortunately the river bank they chose in Tangcheng was a little different, and behind them was an open land with a flat river, at least 30 meters away from the forest that they had not far from what they had seen.
The Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river had machine guns, and the machine gunners of the opposing side were far more accurate than the bulls and dice, and if they wanted to escape into the forest behind them, they had to rush through the open field 30 meters behind them. But both Tang Cheng and Hou San knew that the Japanese troops on the other side of the river would never watch them rush through the 30-meter open field and be indifferent, and if the light machine gun of the Japanese army on the opposite side blocked the open land with all their might, Tang Cheng and none of them would be able to run into the forest.
"Otherwise, let's move this bank to the left, and I'll see how the terrain over there is so favorable." The dice and the dazed Yanhu also dragged back, and when they heard Tang Cheng and Hou San's conversation, the dice came up with a solution. Curling up, closing their eyes, and letting the bullets whistle in their ears, Tang Cheng had no choice but to lie down in the mud and move like some kind of mollusk to the left flank of the riverbank.
At a certain moment, Tang Cheng suddenly felt that the most terrifying thing was not death, but standing on the edge of life and death at a loss. The dirt stirred up by the bullets fired by the Japanese army splashed on his face and hands, Tang Cheng actually let go of distracting thoughts in his heart, at this moment, he suddenly felt that he missed everyone who was good or bad to him, and sincerely prayed to God to let him return to the time when he and Robert depended on each other, even if it was thirty years of life.
Time flowed slowly in torment, and the machine guns of the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river were still roaring, and it could be heard that the Japanese machine guns had been firing point-and-shoot all the time, which showed that Hou San and the dice had done a good job after voluntarily breaking off, at least they only used a few steel helmets to attract the attention of the Japanese troops on the other side of the river. Gradually, the manic heart in Tang Cheng's chest regained its former calm, and he could hear the shouting and talking of the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river again, although Tang Cheng could not hear a word clearly, but he knew in his heart that he had survived another catastrophe.
Moving a full 30 meters to the left flank, Tang Cheng found a place suitable for setting up light machine guns, in Tang Cheng's plan, there was no idea of leaving Hou San and the dice, the machine guns were set up here, just to pick up Hou San and the dice back. "Glasses, you take the wild bull and the two female soldiers to move to the forest first, and when you enter the forest, you will set up the machine gun, whether we can safely withdraw into the forest depends on your machine gun." Tang Cheng did not set up all two machine guns here, but chose to arrange the machine gun fire in sections.
Whether it was in Mengcheng or Macheng, Tang Cheng used too much segmented firepower, especially when Macheng and the Japanese outpost troops fought to the death, the segmented setting of machine gun fire allowed Tang Cheng to take a big advantage. The brute bull followed Tan Fei away, and the light machine gun on Tang Cheng's side had to go into battle by himself, Tang Cheng closed his eyes in pain in front of the light machine gun and prayed silently. Once he started here, he would be able to experience the terrible death that was close at hand, the infinite sorrow of the fall of life, and the bloodshed and cruelty of war, which were the things that Tang Cheng hated the most.
The machine guns of the Japanese troops on the other side of the river began to shoot extendedly, and it was Hou San who received the signal from Tangcheng's side, and the two of them began to move left. Tang Cheng didn't shoot, and also strictly ordered the Yanlong brothers and Zhao Liang not to shoot, when Hou San and the dice were less than 10 meters away from his side, Tang Cheng asked the Yanlong brothers to take Zhao Liang to move to a depression more than ten meters behind him. The Japanese troops on the other side of the river did not find Hou San and the dice moving to the left like insects soaked in muddy water, and the reason why they extended their machine gun fire was only to find that the branch soldiers on the other side of the river suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly, a loud slogan sounded, and the Japanese soldiers lying on the other side of the river suddenly burst out into a majestic shout, and quickly got up and charged forward. Tang Cheng just reacted a little late, and was rushed onto the riverbank by more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in khaki military uniforms, seeing that Hou San and the dice were only a few meters away from his side, Tang Cheng immediately pulled the trigger on the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the riverbank. The gunfire that burst out of the "Dada" went straight into the earthy yellow on the riverbank, and Tang Cheng ignored a Qiē strafing that made the originally dense earthy yellow on the riverbank instantly thin a lot.
The Japanese army has never been willing to be beaten but does not fight back, and suddenly encountered heavy fire from the Tangcheng side, although the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the river bank suffered heavy casualties, but they also turned their firepower to find the Tangcheng side to fire back with all their might, and the Japanese army, which was also equipped with light machine guns, was also quite strong in close combat. As the Japanese troops on the other side of the river returned fire, the bullets began to fly by Tang Cheng, and the density was increasing, Tang Cheng panicked, but he didn't feel scared at all, just splashed all the bullets in the chamber of the gun in the yellow color of the riverbank.
The Japanese soldiers who were experienced on the battlefield opened fire at the first time after encountering the machine gun fire of Tang Cheng. In the face of Tang Cheng's rapid firepower, some Japanese soldiers even lay down on the corpses of their fallen comrades and shot at them, of course, not all Japanese soldiers had this mentality and idea of seeing death as home, some of them hurriedly got up and wanted to rush down the river bank but were killed by Tang Cheng one after another in the river.
In this case, the Japanese troops, who had lost the upper hand in momentum, panicked, and at this time, the southern pistols and command knives in the hands of the officers were finally useful. The few Japanese soldiers who turned around and fled were brutally hacked to death by the officers with command knives on the riverbank, and the remaining Japanese soldiers were forced to turn around and attack the riverbank again by the southern pistols.
Of course, Tang Cheng didn't think about fighting to the death with the Japanese troops on the other side here, and when Hou San and the dice, who were covered in mud and water, moved to the depression behind them, Tang Cheng was ready to retreat at any time. After using up the last bullet in the chamber, Tang Cheng took out a grenade and pulled the pull ring and struck it the steel helmet, then threw it under the machine gun. The machine gun is a burden to Tang Cheng, especially since Tang Cheng has consumed at least 400 rounds of ammunition just now, and in the case of no ammunition, such a machine gun without bullets is not even as good as a bayonet.
Of course, Tang Cheng is not innocent to destroy a machine gun, if you talk carefully, Tang Cheng is also deliberately showing the Japanese troops on the other side of the river, so that the other party thinks that his side has destroyed the machine gun because of the lack of bullets, which is very beneficial to Tang Cheng's plan below. With a bang, the Japanese soldiers, whether they had just rushed onto the river bank or rushed into the river, all subconsciously leaned down, but Tang Cheng, who was already empty-handed, took this opportunity to fly into the hollow.
Compared to Tang Cheng, the Brute's ability to fiddle with the machine gun was obviously much higher, but the Bruniu, who had been hidden at the edge of the woodland, had not fired, even though he had seen Japanese soldiers rushing up to the riverbank on this side. "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" Hou San and the dice lying in the hollow fired one after another, although they only used rifles, but they were not too far from the river bank, shooting at such a distance, according to the marksmanship of Hou San and the dice, although they could not hit a hundred shots, but they were also eight or nine from ten.
Tang Cheng, who was lying on the edge of the depression, also carried a rifle, but he was looking for something with a telescope, and he did not shoot the Japanese soldiers rushing to the river bank like Hou San and the dice. There were only three of them in the hollow, and the others had already safely retreated into the forest, so Tang Cheng was no longer in a hurry at this time, he was waiting for a suitable opportunity, waiting for a suitable opportunity for the brute bull to fire. It has been confirmed that this group of Japanese soldiers does not have such curved fire as mortars and grenadiers, so what can influence the situation of the battle is machine guns, and after deliberately blowing up a machine gun, all Tang Cheng needs to do is wait.
Finally, Tang Cheng's telescope found the target he was waiting for, and a guy with a lieutenant rank mark appeared in the earthy yellow that rushed up to the riverbank, and when the Japanese lieutenant rushed up to the river bank and Tang Cheng in the depression was pressed by the opponent's machine gun and couldn't raise his head, Tang Cheng, who was lying in the depression, shouted, "Brute, fire, fire." Of course, the Japanese did not expect that the group of routs they were pursuing would have two machine guns in their hands, and they had been using one machine gun since they crossed the river in Tangcheng to fight back.
The brute bull on the edge of the woodland finally opened fire, Tang Cheng looked carefully in the telescope, and the earthy yellow that rushed up to the riverbank fell to the ground in the barrage, especially the Japanese lieutenant who had been shot and fell in the first round. The Japanese army was caught off guard by the fire of the brute bull, and if it weren't for the rapid retreat of the follow-up Japanese soldiers, perhaps the number of Japanese soldiers who fell on this side of the river bank would have been more.
"Let's go, stop fighting." Before the gunfire stopped, Tang Cheng in the hollow pulled Hou San and the dice, who were still shooting, and ran away. The three of Tang Cheng bowed slightly, ran quickly with their rifles in their hands, and as long as they rushed into the forest, they would win. From time to time, bullets leaving the chamber of the gun whizzed through the air, and Tang Cheng, who was running, suddenly felt that his left arm was "hit", but he didn't see a figure in the corner of his eye, and the position where he was "hit" immediately hurt hotly, and he couldn't help but be shocked: I was hanging the color again!
