Chapter 13: Counterattack

"Don't move, don't move" Liu Goat suddenly changed his laziness in the past, the whole person stiffened his body and closed his eyes and ears to listen to something, just a blink of an eye, Liu Goat, who was half-closed, suddenly changed his face, pulled Tang Cheng next to him out of the trench and ran back desperately, shouting while running, "Run with Lao Tzu, it's artillery bombardment, large-caliber shelling." Biao Zi and several other veterans had already pulled the injured Nian Zi and Zhang Chuang when Liu Goat's face changed, and when Tang Cheng was pulled out of the trench by Liu Goat, Biao Zi and they also got the two guys out of the trench.

The dozen or so men of the second company who survived ran desperately into the distance along the field behind the trenches, because they all heard the whistling of shells in mid-air across the air. "Boom" The first shell fell straight into the empty trench, and they were directly pushed by the gas Lang after the explosion in Tangcheng, which was more than ten meters away, and the "boom" and "boom" two shells exploded in the trench, and they didn't even bother to pick up the gun that fell on the ground, and crawled forward with both hands and feet.

It wasn't until they had climbed a hundred meters away from the trench that everyone stopped and turned back to look at the trench, the position where they had fought had become a sea of fire at this time, and the thick smoke of gunpowder rose high with the explosion of the shells, and the trench dug by the second company had been almost bulldozed by the Japanese artillery fire. Qiu Jiangong and their veterans were better, but they were lying on the ground and slowing down, and the nine catties that were dragged out by Niu Wazi were already frightened and their faces were gloomy, and Jiujin heard Tang Cheng say that the Japanese artillery fire was very powerful, but he didn't know that Lu Dao would be so powerful.

The trenches on the position took a lot of effort when they were dug at the beginning, but now they have been bulldozed by the Japanese with just a few shots, and if they were still in the trenches just now, I am afraid that even a complete bone will not be left. "Don't look at it, it must be the Japanese army's 75 mountain artillery, which is used by the Japanese army to prepare for the attack on the city gate, this cannon can fight a few miles, and the artillery position will not be in front of us" Looking at the cold color in Liu Goat's eyes, Tang Cheng knew what Liu Goat was thinking. Artillery of this caliber is also a treasure bump of the Japanese army, but they will not allow the slightest mistake, and a large number of defense troops will definitely be arranged outside the artillery position, and it will be their turn to fight the idea of those cannons.

"Go or stay a little longer?" Biao Zi held his rifle in his hand, and Liu Goat remembered that the light machine gun he had picked up from the trench was missing, and he should have fallen to the ground when he fell. Before Liu Goat said that he wanted to go back and pick up the gun, he heard a sudden sound of gunfire on the other side of the position, and they immediately fell on the ground in fright, only Biaozi and their three veterans still carried their own rifles, and the rest of the second company only carried a 20-round barge gun.

"I hear the sound of the machine gun as if it were Czech, is there a firefight between our troops and the little devils?" Liu Shanyang half-closed his eyes and listened for a while, the gunfire was indeed the sound of Czech and Mauser rifle shooting, it should be just like Biaozi said, it was the troops of the national army and the Japanese army exchanging fire. Listening to the exchange of fire between the two sides, the number of national troops using Czech and Mauser rifles was not small, and it was obviously much more than the sound of Japanese 38 rifles.

"Go over and take a look, just get our guns back" Liu Goat didn't hear anything from the gunshot, he just wanted to find his machine gun and spare bullets, but before he moved, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Tang Cheng, the light machine gun and bullets were bought by Tang Cheng with money.

Tang Cheng, who was dragged out by Liu Goat, still looked frightened, I don't know why, Tang Cheng didn't seem to hate Liu Goat who was a veteran all day long, maybe because Liu Goat had the ability to hear the Japanese bombardment, maybe because Liu Goat had saved himself just now.

"It's good to go back and take a look, anyway, the Japanese artillery fire will have to stop immediately, and they will not fire the artillery when they start the charge, for fear of hurting their own people" The Japanese artillery fire stopped when it was said, and the third squad leader Qiu Jiangong only said half of what he said, and the rumbling shelling stopped. The second company's position was filled with choking gunpowder smoke within a radius of dozens of meters from the center, and Liu Shangoat couldn't see anything clearly at all, but he just relied on his memory to touch the weapon he dropped on the ground, and then rushed to the position belonging to the second company in a swarm.

Tang Cheng, who was holding a rifle, crawled and rolled into a broken trench, and when he turned around, he couldn't see Liu Goat and them - the smoke on the position was too thick, and he basically couldn't see his five fingers, but he knew that he was not alone, and Liu Goat and they should be by his side, because he heard the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun beside him. Tang Cheng pressed his heaving chest, not daring to take a big gulp of the air mixed with smoke and dust, he knew that it would make him cough to death.

Tang Cheng tried to keep his eyes open to see if there was an enemy coming up in front of him, but all he could see was the dust rolling in the air in the firelight; Soon he had to squint his eyes, the smoke had already smoked his eyes into tears, and just as Tang Cheng was wiping his face with his sleeve, more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed over from the smoke. "Don't shoot, that's our own people, it's the national army" Liu Goat pressed Tang Cheng's hand in time to pull the trigger, and the dozen or so people who rushed out of the smoke were indeed dressed as national soldiers, and Tang Cheng, who was a little dizzy from the smoke of gunpowder, almost shot at his own people.

"Hurry up, run faster" Liu Goat's fingers on the trigger of the machine gun twitched unconsciously, and he almost pulled the trigger down several times, because he had already seen the Japanese soldiers pursuing behind this group of national troops. Xu is God helped, the wind suddenly rose in the field, the smoke on the position was blown a little lighter, and everyone's blurred vision became a lot clearer, and the two sides of the war in the distance could only see their gunfire, but now they can see their figures clearly.

The second company dug the trench to hold the avenue, and the avenue leading to Guanghuamen passed in front of the position, so the second company that occupied this place was able to block the Japanese troops pursuing along the avenue with the weapons in their hands. It's just that they can't shoot yet, they have to let the scattered national soldiers go first, and Liu Goat's target is the Japanese troops who are chasing after them. In Liu Goat's expectation, the remaining dozen or so soldiers of the national army easily ran over with stops and turns, and the Japanese soldiers who pursued them had already entered the range of their pistols, and they were only a dozen meters away from Yang Xiao.

The Japanese large-caliber artillery bombarded the position of the second company, and it is very likely that the group of Japanese soldiers who were repulsed calculated the coordinates here, and the position of the second company was almost bulldozed by artillery fire after the shelling. Liu Shanyang knew that after the second company fired, his position would be exposed, and subconsciously he already understood this, once the second company fired, it would immediately change its position, otherwise the Japanese army would bombard this place with large-caliber artillery.

The Japanese finally chased after them, and watched the black dozen or so people shoot while chasing them along the avenue with their feet free, and they are really unprepared and still smoking here. "Fire" Tang Cheng's pounding heart, which had been beating, suddenly quieted down because of Liu Goat's order to fire, and there was nothing else in his sight except for the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who were running under the earthen hill. Originally, he should have estimated the enemy's position according to the position of the gun's flames before firing, but he ignored this point and fired directly at the gun's flames, and with the metallic flames that rushed into the black shadow, the Japanese soldiers who were chasing were instantly knocked down by the barrage of bullets fired by the second company.

"Fire, fire" The other people of the second company also shouted and pulled the trigger of the Mauser rifle, and fired at the Japanese soldiers who were chasing them very calmly. "Grenade, grenade" Liu Goat, who had run out of magazines, screamed and pulled out a grenade from Qiu Jiangong's waist and threw it onto the avenue, and the grenade thrown into the pile exploded, and the sudden burst of fire in the dark night illuminated the avenue, so that those Japanese soldiers who were not shot had nowhere to hide.

"Fire, fire" Liu Goat, who quickly changed the spare magazine like a divine help, saw the light on the avenue, and a string of bullets hit it, and the group of national soldiers who had just been pursued by the Japanese army saw that someone was helping them and turned around and killed them. Liu goats on the soil hill and the bullets fired by the national army on the avenue formed a cross-fire network, and the battle ended in a few minutes, except for the "crackling" sound of a few small flames burning with dead grass on the ground, the avenue suddenly fell into a dead silence. Liu Shanyang, who had just experienced the bombardment, was very afraid that the Japanese army would bombard this place, so he picked up the light machine gun and signaled Qiu Jiangong that they followed him to the avenue.

The trench that had been blown up for many sections was full of all kinds of dangers, and Tang Cheng, who was holding a rifle, only paid attention to the dead and wounded Japanese soldiers on the avenue, and only ran two steps before he tripped over something, and the rifle in his hand was also smashed to the ground. Tang Cheng fell too suddenly, Qiu Jiangong and the others who followed him thought that he had discovered the presence of Japanese soldiers, so they hurriedly lay down and aimed at the night in front of him with a rifle, and then the nine catties that followed directly dragged Tang Cheng's two legs, dragging Tang Cheng face down like a dead dog, and the rifle that fell out of his hand was also picked up and stuffed back into Tang Cheng's hands.
