Chapter Eighty-Six: A Bitter Battle

"Boom" was another explosion that pulled Tang Cheng back to reality in a dizziness, Tang Cheng shook his head to speed up his recovery, but his limbs seemed to be sleeping on the hard floor for a week, the joints of his hands and feet were sore, as if they had been filled with lead, and his whole body seemed to be inexplicably drained of energy.

Tang Cheng, who was facing the sky on his back, tried to turn himself over and lay on the ground, unfastened the buckle under the steel helmet with his right hand, and grabbed the shell gun that fell to the ground with a slight tremor in his left hand. It seemed that the lead-filled right hand failed to catch the shell gun several times in a row, and just when Tang Cheng was about to crawl before, he only heard the sound of "dang", Tang Cheng's head seemed to be vigorously beaten with a stick, and the whole person was thrown out sideways, and the steel helmet that had just loosened the buckle was also thrown out.

This sudden cold gun can startle Tang Cheng enough, the whole person reflexively curled up and hid in the crater next to him, the moment the steel helmet was hit by the bullet, the panic and despair made him almost incontinent. Tang Cheng, who had been shot away by the cold gun, held his head tightly in his hands and curled up in the crater, as a person with strong self-esteem, if that really happened, Tang Cheng felt that he would definitely not have the courage to live anymore.

This is a battlefield, a battlefield where hundreds of people are fighting, no one notices what Tang Cheng is doing at this time, and no one notices that Tang Cheng has just experienced a test of life and death. Tang Cheng, who lost the shell gun and was knocked away by the cold gun, had actually been forgotten by the soldiers on both sides in the fierce battle, and the soldiers on both sides who were also facing the test of life and death had no time to find Tang Cheng's location, and his position at this time was already on the outermost side of the entire battle group.

Tang Cheng, who had just gotten rid of the temptation of death, began to have symptoms of vomiting, which was the sequelae of a concussion, and this medical term was still Tian Kuisu's sรน, but Tang Cheng was not worried, because Tian Kuisu's concussion would not make people die. Tang Cheng, who vomited one after another, finally stopped the vomiting that was about to suffocate until he vomited all the things in his stomach and couldn't even vomit water, and wiped his mouth with the sleeves of his clothes that were already dirty and couldn't see the original color, and Tang Cheng, who was still a little dizzy, slowly poked his head out of the crater and looked out.

The battle continued, the shouts of killing were still loud all day long, the advantage of the Japanese army who was good at fighting was completely suppressed by the 20 short guns of the 1st Company, and they were bitten very close by the soldiers of the 1st Company, who had already occupied the numerical advantage, and the development of the battle situation seemed to be progressing towards Tang Cheng's previous expectations. Crawling out of the crater in an extremely wolf posture, Tang Cheng found the two shell guns he had dropped on the ground, and sat directly on the ground to change the magazine for the shell guns, Tang Cheng, who was sore all over, finally stood up and walked forward quickly.

During his battlefield career in Shanghai and Nanjing, and after half a year of torturous training, Tang Cheng learned to endure, learn to survive on the battlefield, and learned to shoot, but this close-range battle still made him feel strange and afraid. The melee battles in Nanjing and Shanghai were forced to do so, and if Tang Cheng didn't do that, he would only die on the battlefield, and at that time, he only thought about avenging Robert, and didn't know what death was. But Tang Cheng has now bulleted what death is, he has seen too much death and already has a shadow in his heart, he doesn't want to be like those national soldiers who died in Nanjing City, and there is not even a tombstone after death.

But this is the battlefield, there is a battle here, it is a battle between the Chinese and the Japanese, it is a battle between the rebels and the invaders, as a Chinese, Tang Cheng has no choice, he can only fight forward with weapons, only by driving out the invaders or completely killing them, he will have real hope of life. "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" The shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand was fired again, and he was very satisfied with his current position as he roamed outside the warband, so that he could better hit those damn Japanese soldiers.

Tang Cheng, who had shot three Japanese soldiers in a row, was running, and he was moving his position so that he could ensure that he would not be shot by the opposing gunners. "Boom" "Boom" A series of explosions suddenly sounded on the Japanese position 100 meters away, followed by a burst of "da-da" machine-gun strafing, and the gunners and explosions were mixed with cheers, Tang Cheng could hear that those cheers were all Chinese, that is to say, Sun He and they succeeded.

"Kill" Tang Cheng, who was overjoyed, was in high spirits, and while shouting loudly, he quickly rushed into the battle group, and sent the Japanese soldiers who were fighting hand-to-hand with the soldiers of the 1st Company into hell one after another with the shell gun in his hand. The soldiers of the 1st Company, who were also exhausted, began to combine freely, using several times the advantage of the enemy to eliminate the lone Japanese soldiers one by one, as if these lone Japanese soldiers were stabbing and strong, but they often had to face several bayonets stabbing at themselves, Tang Cheng emptied a magazine, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were pierced on the battlefield like blood gourds and fell to the ground and died.

As Tang Cheng guessed, Sun He, who attacked from the flank, did succeed, but they were not able to completely annihilate the troops left in the rear by Kenichi Okamoto, and Sun He, who only had 50 people, only grabbed a light machine gun from Okamoto's squadron by throwing grenades non-stop. Under the cover of machine-gun fire, Sun He and his men blew up the mortar positions of Okamoto's squadron with grenades, and the detonated shells gave Kenichi Okamoto a fatal blow, and most of the dozens of soldiers who followed him in the rear died in the detonation of the shells.

Sun He, who had a machine gun in his hand, poured a dense rain of bullets on the Japanese army who were still resisting, and there were less than 20 people left around him, and he simply did not have the spare strength to spare manpower to assist Tang Cheng, and what he could do now was to do his best to kill the remaining dozen Japanese soldiers to prevent future troubles. It was almost one-on-one shooting, and Sun He, who had grabbed the light machine gun, obviously wanted to take advantage, and soon they took another light machine gun, and Sun He, who had two machine guns in hand, finally had the confidence, and the two machine guns approached forward alternately, approaching the Japanese soldiers who were returning fire little by little.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most brutal of all combat, and soldiers on both sides will use all the means they can and can think of in order to survive. Bayonets and broadswords are not their only weapons, in the face of death, their fists, steel helmets, and even teeth can be used against their opponents, when fighting with the Japanese army outside the Guanghua Gate, the cook once directly used his body to break the ribs of a Japanese soldier alive, and then let the Japanese soldier wail for half an hour before dying on the battlefield.

Tang Cheng's body was inferior to the other soldiers of the 1st Company, although his endurance was good, but if he was asked to use a bayonet to fight the Japanese army, he could only be defeated. Therefore, the wise Tang Cheng used the barge gun as his weapon of melee combat, and it turned out that in melee combat, the short spear capable of firing in bursts was far better than the bayonet and broadsword. Although the range of the short gun is not as good as that of a rifle, and the lethality is not as good as that of a machine gun, in close combat, there is indeed no weapon sharper than a short gun.

The soldiers of the 1st Company were already exhausted, and the Japanese troops fighting against them were no better, and after the machine guns behind them stopped firing support, some Japanese soldiers had already noticed the strangeness of their position. Like Tang Cheng, these Japanese soldiers were also afraid that their opponents would cut off their way of retreat, and when the battle had already tilted from the white-hot to the side of the 1st Company, the Japanese troops in the melee finally made a choice, and in the shouts of a second lieutenant officer, Japanese soldiers began to retreat from the battlefield to their positions.

"Absolutely not, can't let them go back." About 20 Japanese soldiers withdrew from the battle and rushed to their positions, and Tang Cheng, who noticed the abnormality of the Japanese army, shouted loudly, but the soldiers of the 1st Company were firmly entangled by the remaining Japanese soldiers, and they could not spare manpower to stop the retreat of those Japanese troops. A tongue of fire that suddenly appeared in the Japanese position made Tang Cheng's worries dissipate instantly, and less than 20 meters away from his own position, those Japanese soldiers who withdrew from the battle and retreated were caught off guard by the sudden gunfire.

"Boom" "Boom" The grenades thrown from the Japanese positions made the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the gunfire not be spared, two rounds of gunfire and one round of grenade throwing, these Japanese soldiers who were eager to rush back to their own camp completely became lost dogs, and the few Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive could not break through the suppression of the light machine guns at all, they could only hold their heads and hide behind the corpses of their companions. Finally, some Japanese soldiers were hit in a hurry, shouting that they pounced on the soldiers of the 1st Company besieging them, and after the explosion of "boom", a shallow pit and several balls of flesh and blood appeared on the battlefield.

It is not the patent of the soldiers of the Nationalist Army to pull the enemy to the end with a grenade, it seems that the Japanese have done it more thoroughly, "Spread out, spread out, don't fight with them with bayonets, solve them with short guns." "One after another, the besieged Japanese soldiers grabbed grenades and the soldiers of the 1st Company died together, and Tang Cheng shouted and gathered the soldiers of the 1st Company who were still alive to disperse to the periphery." Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" The shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand kept jumping and swaying, and the bullets spit out from the shell gun knocked down the Japanese soldiers who were already crazy one by one, of course, including the Japanese soldiers who were holding grenades and pounced on him.

The mist of blood splattered from the Japanese soldiers filled the air with a thick smell of blood, and in this duel of short guns and bayonets, Tang Cheng became the ultimate victors, but the price they paid was also heavy. There were more than 100 soldiers in the 1st Company who followed Tang Cheng from the front, but now there are less than 30 people still alive, and almost all of the remaining 30 people are wounded.

I don't know when Jiujin appeared on the battlefield was also not lightly wounded, a slap-length wound was cut on the side of his waist by a Japanese bayonet, and there was also a wound on his left shoulder that was almost pierced, and there were three shrapnel nails in his thigh. Tang Cheng, who was finally able to stop, found that he was also a wounded, and the wound on his chest that had been cut by shrapnel was already grayish-white, but compared to the injuries of others, Tang Cheng was still a minor wounded.
