Chapter 19: Repulsion
The squad leader died, and the squad leader who was always shouting and scolding at the top of his voice was dead, which was learned after Tang Cheng, who was knocked unconscious by the explosion, was rescued by the national army cleaning the battlefield, just like Tang Cheng saw, the figure who blew up a Japanese tank with an explosive bag and then died from a Japanese machine gun is an old man. Tang Cheng, who was plowed a blood groove in the thigh by a stray bullet, was dragged back to the trench by the national soldiers who collected ammunition, Tang Cheng did not complete the task of blowing up the Japanese tank, but he was injured, everyone thought that he was injured in the front, because he was injured and lost his mobility and delayed the opportunity to blow up the Japanese tank, so after Tang Cheng was dragged to the ambulance and hastily bandaged, Tang Cheng, who was lame on one leg, was sent to help the ambulance take care of the wounded.
The squad leader died, and Tang Cheng, who was on a rifle, followed the ambulance in a daze, and in the trenches full of national troops, Tang Cheng's student with leggings was very conspicuous. Tang Cheng, who felt guilty, was like a stupid goose, and the ambulance soldiers said that he would do whatever he wanted, and he would do whatever he wanted, and he didn't talk to the wounded soldiers without asking anything, but it was only ten minutes for the wounded soldiers lying in the trenches to remember this student cub who didn't like to talk.
"Hidden" Tang Cheng was bandaging the wound of a soldier with a wounded shoulder, when he was suddenly pulled by the wounded soldier next to him to lie down in the trench, "boom" and "boom" two explosions, and two shells from the Japanese army exploded outside the trench. "Boy, you can't just shoot and throw grenades stupidly, you have to keep your eyes open and your ears open, and be careful at all times." The wounded soldier who was half of his head wrapped in gauze looked at Tang Cheng lying on the ground with a smile, just now it was the first warning signal he sent out, and it was also Tang Cheng who he stretched out his hand to pull down.
Hurriedly grabbed a rifle beside him, Tang Cheng pulled the bolt and loaded it to prepare for the battle, like other soldiers who could still move, but the enemy did not attack, and there was no earthy yellow figure of the Japanese army in the smoke and dust rising in front of the position, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "If you're going to have nothing to do, wipe these bullets for me, and separate the machine gun bullets from the rifle bullets." A pair of military shoes appeared in front of Tang Cheng, and when he looked up, it was the thin young man who had distributed bullets to him before, his military uniform was still so ill-fitting, and his military hat was still wrinkled and half up.
Tang Cheng didn't know what he was talking about, but following the young man's hand, he finally knew that the other party was here to ask him for help, and the young man was holding two steel helmets with bullet holes in his hands, and the steel helmets contained some bullets, and he wanted Tang Cheng to help sort the bullets. Sorting bullets was not a lot of work, but after Tang Cheng grabbed a few bullets in the steel helmet, he realized what the rag that the young man stuffed was for. Most of the bullets in the helmet are stained with blood, and such bullets will cause trouble when loading, so it is necessary to wipe the blood stains on the bullets first.
Tang Cheng, who had never fought before, couldn't tell the caliber of the bullets at all, he just put the bullets of the same size together, and when everyone was busy reinforcing the position, Tang Cheng was silently sitting in the corner wiping the bullets. The bullets in the two steel helmets were quickly ready, but with the end of the cleaning of the battlefield, more bullets with blood stains were sent to Tang Cheng, and I didn't know that it was the careless guy who did it, Tang Cheng even turned out a grenade with the back cover unscrewed out of a pile of bullets.
Doesn't it mean that the successive victories of the Nationalist army in Shanghai have driven all the Japanese soldiers out of Shanghai? Why do you still have to defend this position in this abandoned street and not retreat? Wiping the bullet in his hand, Tang Cheng's head was full of questions. The news of the successive victories of the Nationalist army in Shanghai was said by Platoon Commander Yang of the Nationalist Army when he was leading the way for the Nationalist army, and the man also said that the Japanese were bound to be defeated this time, and that the Nationalist Army would not only drive the Japanese troops in Shanghai back to their hometowns, but also drive the Japanese soldiers who occupied North China into the sea to feed the fish.
Tang Cheng is not a soldier, so he naturally can't understand how excited Platoon Commander Yang was when he talked about fighting with the Japanese soldiers, and he had only one thought in his mind at that time, to bring this group of national soldiers to the place and let them kill all the Japanese soldiers there to avenge Robert. But who would have thought that this revenge had not been avenged, but they had captured a strong man and become a soldier, and it was a ragtag unit that didn't even have a regular army number.
After staying with this group of miscellaneous soldiers for a long time, Tang Cheng also saw a little sign, this so-called security force that did not even have a serious number was actually a temporary gathering of veterans from some countries, the squad leader and the company commander looked like veterans of the national army who had experienced a hundred battles, and most of the guys who were lying in the trench holding their rifles and trembling were strong men who were captured like themselves, and there were also many people who were on the battlefield for the first time like themselves. Didn't you say that the national army came with a lot of troops? Why is there still a temporary conscription in Shanghai? Tang Cheng began to think crankily as he wiped the bullets.
The Japanese troops on the opposite side did not leave time for Tangcheng Thailand to think, and as several explosions sounded, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side began a new round of attack. "Fire, fire." The veterans in the trenches hissed and shouted, and the newcomers in Tang Cheng's eyes did not dare to show their heads and aim carefully, but blindly pulled the trigger according to the instructions of the veterans, but most of the bullets they shot did not know where to go, which was cheaper than the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, but in just a few breaths, the earthy yellow figure of the Japanese soldiers appeared less than 50 meters away from the front of the position.
"Damn, it's all right to fight again, the bullets are gone, you death-scared ghosts have to follow Lao Tzu to fight bayonets." The company commander with a black face kept kicking the newcomers in the trenches. Under his strict order, some guys finally dodged and straightened their waists and shot, not to mention the accuracy, the Japanese soldiers who rushed over on the opposite side were temporarily suppressed in the rubble. Tang Chengle, who had been secretly looking at the Japanese soldiers at the front of the position, turned out that the Japanese soldiers who were invincible in the concession also had times when they were afraid of death.
"Hidden, hidden." The company commander, who was raising his gun to shoot, suddenly shouted and crouched in the trench with his head in his hands, and the newcomers around him were fighting happily, and few of them noticed the company commander's reaction. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The mortar shells from the Japanese army exploded in the position, and the few newcomers who were fanned by the company commander and were concentrating on shooting were the first to bear the brunt of being shrouded in smoke, and Tang Cheng, who was hit by the air and fell on his back, "vomited" and vomited again, and a bloody arm with a scorched smell fell on his body, this was the second time Tang Cheng saw a broken arm, but this time it was even more terrifying to him than Yang Kun's time.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" Another series of explosions sounded on the position, and the hard-built bunkers and trenches were blown up with smoke and fire, and the place where Tang Cheng stayed was not the center of the position, nor was it a combat position, so he was just turned on his back by the explosion and turned his back to the sky. But when he turned over and got up, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, the machine gun that the company commander himself held was gone, and the guys in the position were gone, replaced by clouds of smoke and black-red rubble, and a few broken rifle fragments.
"Company commander, company commander." A wounded soldier with a dirty gauze wrapped in a dirty gauze on his head cried and threw himself into the rubble, picking up a pile of bulging rubble with both hands, Tang Cheng wanted to go over to help, but the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side of the position had already gotten up and ran towards this side, only a distance of 50 meters, maybe before the wounded soldier could break the rubble with his hands, the Japanese soldiers could rush into the position. "Fire, fire and push them back, and anyone who can still breathe will fire at Lao Tzu, or wait for the Japanese soldiers to pick us all to death with bayonets." The unsmiling ambulance soldier jumped into the already dilapidated trench with rifle in hand, followed closely by several lightly wounded men.
"Grenades, throw grenades." The sporadic shooting of only a few people could not stop the Japanese attack at all, and in the counterattack of the Japanese soldiers, some of the lightly wounded in the trenches were shot one after another, and the ambulance soldiers, whose shoulders were grazed by bullets, grabbed a grenade next to him and threw it vigorously. Tang Cheng also threw the grenade, but he was too scared, the grenade that was thrown out actually forgot to pull the string, and seeing that the grenade rolling on the ground after landing did not explode, Tang Cheng's blackened face was scorched with gunsmoke.
"Don't throw it away, go pick up grenades and bullets for us, and round up those idle rifles." The grenades that were thrown out of the trenches in a row temporarily blocked the impact of the Japanese soldiers, but the dozen or so people in the trenches could not spare their hands to collect grenades and bullets scattered in the scorched earth and rubble, and Tang Cheng, who was doing nothing, became the best candidate for collecting ammunition. Holding a steel helmet that he didn't know who it was, Tang Cheng's cat waist drilled around the position, and he couldn't care about distinguishing the caliber of the bullets, Tang Cheng loaded all the bullets he could see into the steel helmet and sent them back to the forward position again and again, but unfortunately only four grenades were found.
"Go find grenades and bullets from those dead brothers" Seeing Tang Cheng hurriedly helping to reload the rifle, the company commander who had just been rescued from the rubble felt a burst of fire in his heart. Tang Cheng, who didn't dare to say much, dropped the rifle in his hand and hugged the steel helmet to find the grenade, he didn't dare to rummage through the dead bodies on the battlefield, so he had to look at the seriously wounded people behind, most of the seriously wounded had lost the ability to continue fighting, but they could still find ammunition in the bullet bags on their bodies, and after a while, Tang Cheng found more than 100 rounds of ammunition and 6 grenades from the seriously wounded.
"Stop shooting, stop shooting, they're back, let's all save some bullets." The Japanese attack was repulsed again, but the veterans on the battlefield were not happy at all. "This is just the self-defense force of the Japanese expatriate, if there is a real Japanese regular army on the other side, our position is afraid that it has already been broken through by them, hurry up and strengthen the position to collect ammunition, the Japanese will not let us be idle for too long" The company commander's loud voice made Tang Cheng stop what he was doing, it was not a regular Japanese army like this, Tang Cheng didn't know if this was the company commander scaring them these newcomers, but Tang Cheng had the idea of escaping again.
