Chapter Seventy-Four: Breaking the Enemy in a Roundabout Way
"Fire, knock out their machine guns first, and then fire freely." The shape in front of him did not allow Tang Cheng to hesitate too much, seeing that the dice had already knocked out a piece of machine gun fire from the Japanese army opposite, Tang Cheng simply asked the few snipers brought by the sieve to all open fire. Most of the soldiers of the 114th Regiment on the river beach were killed and wounded, and the few remaining guys were hiding behind the rocks on the river beach to survive, if Tang Cheng didn't help them at this time, these guys would probably die here.
With Tang Cheng's order to fire, several snipers under the dice began to show their talents, and this was their best chance to truly incorporate what they had learned into actual combat. The convenience of having a wide field of view allows the condescending snipers to have almost terrifying accuracy at a distance of 100 meters, and the guns are not a problem at all. Although the Japanese troops on the other side did not show their heads, the snipers were able to shoot bullets into the Japanese bunkers at the first time along the flames of their guns.
According to Tang Cheng's order, the Japanese machine guns were enthusiastically and intensively cared for by the snipers, and they were continuously suppressed by accurate fire from the opposite bank, and the Japanese firepower began to fall into chaos. But the experienced and well-trained Japanese soon discovered that almost all of their suppressive fire came from the mound on the north side of the riverbank. Without the firepower of the Japanese army on the opposite bank, the remaining soldiers of the 114th Regiment were finally able to rely on each other and slowly move closer to each other and withdraw from the river beach.
The Japanese troops on the other side suddenly stopped firing, but Tang Cheng, who should have been happy, suddenly had a bad idea rising in his mind, just when Tang Cheng was swaying, tom, tom! A slightly muffled sound came from the woods behind the high ground on the other side of the river. Boom, boom! The column of smoke that exploded high on the mound almost caused Tang Cheng to drop his telescope to the ground. The two mortar shells all hit Tang Cheng's earthen hill where they were hiding, and before the smoke column of the explosion dispersed, Tang Cheng's ears could already hear a cry of pain from his side.
"Damn it, retreat, get out of here, this is their first round of fire test." Tang Cheng turned around and dragged a scout who was injured by shrapnel to retreat down the dirt post, and sure enough, a new round of mortar shells sounded in the forest. The smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion obscured Tang Cheng's vision, and their casualties were inevitable by the dice on the mound, and Tang Cheng, whose eyes were already red, tightly held the carbine in his hand, a deep self-blame that made Tang Cheng feel like a heart-rending pain.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, Tang Cheng's self-blame dissipated slightly, he didn't pay attention when he retreated from the earthen post just now, it turned out that the dice were also withdrawn, except for a sniper who twisted his foot, this round of Japanese artillery bombardment did not cause them casualties. Suffering from the Japanese artillery bombardment one after another, Tang Cheng's nose was crooked, but he didn't expect that the Japanese troops on the other side of the river actually had long-range firepower such as mortars, and fortunately they only had 2 mortars, otherwise they might not be able to take the dice and they removed from the earthen hill alive.
"Sniper, stop the Japanese on the spot, come and two people and follow me to the flank." Withdrawing from the mound, Tang Cheng led his two strong scouts to quickly circle the right flank of the river beach. After detouring all the way along the river bank for more than 100 meters, Tang Cheng carefully observed the other bank, and then took the two scouts around him to the other bank. The attention of the Japanese army seems to have been attracted by the dice, and when the Tang Cheng people crossed the river, they did not encounter the Japanese army's resistance at all.
The three Tang Cheng who crossed the river bank struck more than 30 meters in depth and then entered the forest, and then turned directly to move in the direction of the Japanese army according to the guidance of the gunshots, and waited until they could clearly hear the shouts of the Japanese army, and then squatted down in the forest. The number of Japanese troops was beyond Tang Cheng's expectations, and the Japanese troops defending this section of the river had more than three light and heavy machine guns and 2 mortars, but the number of Japanese troops that Tang Cheng saw in the telescope was only less than a small team.
After determining the position of the Japanese heavy machine gun, Tang Cheng, who was squatting in the woods, got up, took a grenade from his waist and took two steps to quickly rush to the edge of the woodland. But before the grenade in Tang Cheng's hand was vigorously thrown, a bush shook in front of him, and a Japanese soldier with a 38 rifle jumped out of it. Suddenly, Tang Cheng and the Japanese soldier were stunned for a moment, and the Japanese soldier who had translated first roared and pointed his gun at Tang Cheng.
Without waiting for the other party to pull the trigger, the scout who followed Tang Cheng kicked him back head-on, "Da Da Da" regardless of 3721, and the other scout used his submachine gun to shoot a string of bullets into the bushes. With a bang, the grenade thrown by Tang Cheng also exploded, and while the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were drowned in the smoke raised by the explosion, Tang Cheng took two scouts to turn around and ran towards the mortars arranged by the Japanese army behind the river bank.
The dice on the other side of the river were shooting at the Japanese army with their snipers, and he heard a bang from the river opposite, and then the opponent's heavy machine gun was dumbfounded, and the dice tilted the corners of his mouth to show a smile, he had already guessed that the explosion just now was made by the three of Tang Cheng. The "pop" dice were aimed and fired, and a light machine gun of the Japanese army on the opposite side was extinguished again, and it was too late to determine the results of his shooting, so the dice moved to a firing position with their sniper rifles.
The Japanese machine guns were silent, and the enraged Japanese used their mortars again, and with the help of the temporary panic of the Japanese army and the sound of explosions as a cover, the three of Tang Cheng finally touched the place very close to the two Japanese mortars. The Japanese soldiers who were bombarding the other side with mortars did not know that death was approaching them, and the Japanese soldiers in command of the gunners were shouting hysterically, and in the distance, several Japanese soldiers were carrying several boxes of shells running here, all of which were clearly seen by Tang Cheng, who was crouching in the bushes.
If it had been before, Tang Cheng would have asked for the capture of these two mortars of the Japanese army, but this is a jungle, and carrying such a heavy weapon will only slow down their march. Besides, in the jungle, there is not always such terrain as at this time, and if the mortar enters the forest and there is no suitable terrain, it will simply be like a chicken rib. The canopy and cane foliage of the jungle can make mortar shells less powerful, and sometimes injure one's own people, which may not be as good as a bolt-action rifle.
Secretly calculating the distance between himself and the Japanese mortar, Tang Cheng took out a grenade from his waist sideways, and then whispered to the two scouts behind him. "After a while, let's throw the grenade over first, and then wait for the grenade to explode, just stick it on and shoot, don't care what good things they have, just shoot." The two scouts nodded their heads to show that they understood, and then they also took out their grenades and waited for Tang Cheng's gesture.
The Japanese army fired another round of two shells, and at the moment when the shells hit the ground and exploded, Tang Cheng, who was squatting in the bushes, got up and shouted, "Drop the bomb." Tang Cheng roared, pulled the grenade's fire ring, waved his arm, and took the lead in throwing his own grenade. Led by Tang Cheng, the two scouts on his side also threw out the grenades they held in their hands, and the three grenades flipped in the air and flew towards the heads of the busy Japanese artillerymen.
The grenade thrown by Tang Cheng was the first to explode, and the Japanese soldier Cao who commanded the mortar became the first victim, and Tang Cheng even saw the steel helmet of the Japanese soldier Cao being thrown high in the air by the explosion wave. After the "boom" and "boom", the two falling grenades also exploded one after another, and the desperate howls of the Japanese soldiers sounded in the smoke and firelight, accompanied by hoarse screams, the broken clothes, stumps and mud were pushed into the sky by the air wave of the grenade explosion, and then fell one after another, smashing the steel helmets on the heads of the three people in Tang Cheng.
Before the smoke cleared, and the screams of the Japanese soldiers in the smoke had not stopped, Tang Cheng had already led the two scouts around him to rush up against the smoke. The blood had stained the mud around the mortar red, and the craters left by the explosion were scattered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and several wounded Japanese soldiers were groaning in pain. Before throwing the grenade, Tang Cheng told the two scouts to rush forward after the explosion and kill all the Japanese soldiers who were still alive.
Stepping on the blood-soaked soil, the two scouts who followed Tang Cheng had already pulled the trigger of the submachine gun in their hands, and the bullets that flew out of the barrel rained down on the wounded Japanese soldiers who were not dead. Maybe it was because it was too close, and Tang Cheng grinned and retreated straight back because of the debris splashed by the bullets, "Loser, it's not like this when there are many bullets." In the deafening gunshot, Tang Cheng roared a little angrily, if he didn't roar, he couldn't do it, there were only a few Japanese soldiers left in the Manchu Communist Party who could still breathe, and these two goods had already run out of a magazine in the blink of an eye.
Without the long-range fire suppression of mortars, the Japanese troops on the high ground on the river bank no longer had the advantage they relied on, and the three of Tang Cheng shot them from behind after knocking out the mortars. The snipers resumed their steady shooting, and with the help of the three Tang Cheng from behind the Japanese army, the casualties of the Japanese soldiers on the high ground on the river bank began to increase dramatically, and the shape began to turn in Tang Cheng's favor.
Tang Cheng flanked them in front and back so that the battle ended quickly, and Tang Cheng was silent as he watched from afar at the Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground and the corpses of those soldiers of the 114th Regiment floating on the river beach. These Japanese soldiers had been trained in bushido and loyalty to the emperor since elementary school, and the officers and officers were all professional soldiers. Even ordinary soldiers in the Japanese army have undergone rigorous and systematic training for three to five years. Compared to them, the soldiers of the expeditionary force, who had only received a short training in Ramgarh, were significantly weaker than the other side, and it was not known how many more Chinese soldiers like this would die before the war could end.
