Chapter Eighty-Seven: Defeated
Matsuda hid in the crater and shivered, he looked at the swaying figure outside the foxhole in fear, and he didn't dare to say a word. The "poof" sound is the sound of a bullet as it pierces the body. A running figure suddenly fell next to Matsuda's crater, the head of the victim drooping, and a stream of blood poured out of his mouth and then filled his entire face. Matsuda naturally recognized this person who was shot, this was Jun Cao Ono, the most severe Jun Cao in the squadron, and the veteran who killed the most soldiers in the squadron.
"Ahh
"Matsuda, damn it." A voice sounded above his head, "Damn it, get up, cheer up, grab your rifle, take out those shina, hurry up" was Nakagawa's voice, Matsuda finally looked up, and Nakagawa was glaring at him. "Have you forgotten my words? You're dead, you know, you're dead. You are not afraid, there is no cowardice, and there is no more death, because you are already dead, quickly pick up your weapon and shoot, only by killing the people on the opposite side of the country, you can continue to live. ”
Under Nakagawa's sharp reprimand, Matsuda finally picked up his rifle tremblingly, but shot indiscriminately without raising his head. A "pop" of gunshots rang out, and as Matsuda mechanically pulled the bolt, the still hot bullet casings popped out of the magazine, rolling in the air and drawing an arc and landing at his feet. The process of the bullet casing ejecting the magazine was like a beautiful rhythm, and Matsuda didn't seem to hear the deafening sound of gunfire, and all he could hear was the crisp sound of the rifle firing and the beautiful drawing of the bullet casing when it was thrown in the air.
"Matsuda, you can't shoot your gun into the sky, damn it, you can't brace yourself and put a bullet into the body of those damn Shina people like I did." Nakagawa's shouts once again dragged Matsuda back into the battlefield filled with gunfire and screams. Xu is the bullet just fired gave Matsuda some courage, under Nakagawa's shouting and persecution, Matsuda in the crater finally landed his scattered and unfocused gaze in front of him, and the rifle that had been loaded in his hand was finally raised, and the muzzle that kept shaking at the moment was also pointed directly in front of him.
Before Matsuda could pull the trigger again with Nakagawa's encouragement, he heard a "boom" and a shell exploded a few meters from Matsuda's side. "I'm wounded," someone shouted, it was Nakagawa in the nearby crater, who had been hit in the thigh by shrapnel and shrapnel in the shoulder and leg. Nakagawa's injury made Matsuda, who had already mustered up courage, lose his courage in an instant, and seeing that Nakagawa, who had been continuously injured by shrapnel, was covered with blood, and was already lifeless, Matsuda's heart was full of worry and fear, for fear that he would also be injured by shrapnel like Nakagawa like a blood gourd.
"Bazooka, give me the machine gun to kill them." Under the sniper fire, the light and heavy machine gunners and grenadiers of the Japanese army suffered the most casualties, but the Japanese soldiers, who knew that if they did not fight to the death, the whole army would be wiped out, but they were crazy, and after the machine gunners were killed one after another, they rushed to fire at the Tangcheng side with machine guns. Tang Cheng had no choice but to order the Bazooka rocket launcher to open fire, directly destroying the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army.
The sappers rushed forward with their bazookas. They had already found their own targets, and the "boom-boom-boom" rockets were fired one after another, and in an instant, the Japanese positions exploded one after another, billowing smoke billowed from their positions. "Cover, cover their withdrawal" Tang Cheng shouted loudly, and the three light machine guns in the ditch concentrated their fire on the Japanese side, and suddenly the Japanese counterattack slowed down, but the bullets fired by the Japanese army still continued to fly over the heads and sides of the retreating sappers.
"Come here" Tang Cheng pulled a sapper carrying Bazooka into the ditch, and the other sapper jumped up, he tried to jump directly into the ditch, but the dense fire of the Japanese army behind him was shooting at him. With a "bang", the sapper who was shot in the back and the bazooka on his shoulder were planted in the ditch, "Damn, I just said it's not a good errand." The sapper who had been shot was trying to get up with a bitter face, but soon fell, and a red blood stain was spreading rapidly behind him. Isn't that really ......" He coughed violently, and then a cloud of blood poured out of his mouth, making his voice slurred, "What the fuck...... No...... Good errand"
"I can't save it," the military doctor who leaned down to check the injuries cried, and the eyes of the sappers who had been shot had gradually lost their luster and turned gray. "He's dead, let's move to the side." The military doctor with blood on his hands patted the shoulder of the fellow engineer who was shot, "In the war, where will no one die, at least he also killed a lot of little devils, and he didn't die in vain." "The sappers who had completed their mission retreated one after another with Bazooka, and under the cover of concentrated fire from machine guns and Garand rifles, the Japanese could only watch as the culprits who destroyed their machine gun positions left safely.
Tang Cheng didn't know how to comfort the sapper with tears on his face, so he could only silently walk over and help the dead sapper slowly close his eyes that were still open. War is like this, it is a game of life and death, and Tang Cheng has firmly remembered the rules of this game since he was forcibly recruited into the army in Shanghai that day. The living will quickly forget their robes, fellow villagers, and friends who died under the guns of the Japanese army, and perhaps when they secretly congratulate themselves on their lives, they will occasionally think of those familiar faces, but the living do not know if they will become a corpse that no one cares about in the next battle.
"Send a signal, tell the people on both wings to do it." The guns have been ringing for half an hour, Tang Cheng and they not only destroyed the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, but also reduced the remaining Japanese troops from yesterday to less than 60 people, and now it is time for Mike and Hou San to press up from both flanks, Tang Cheng is already a little impatient and wants to end the battle quickly. Mike and Hou San, who had not been used to return to the flank of the Japanese army, were Tang Cheng's own selfishness, and he wanted to know on the spot what his soldiers' combat effectiveness was after changing American-style equipment and receiving training as American instructors.
Facts have proved that the training of the US military instructors is indeed effective, and there are only 60 soldiers in Tangcheng arranged in the front, but they can block a squadron of Japanese soldiers to the death, and while killing and wounding a large number of opposing soldiers, there are only less than 20 casualties on their own side. If this was placed in the past, Tang Cheng would never have been hard to carry the squadron-level Japanese troops in such terrain, and the experience of fighting with the Japanese army countless times told Tang Cheng a truth, once he fought with the Japanese squadron-level troops, the end would not be good.
With the death of the squadron leader Zheno Oshima, the remnants of dozens of Japanese soldiers finally lost their fighting spirit, and the sound of guns and shouts of killing sounded like a tide again, and Mike and Hou San on both wings each launched an attack on the Japanese position with their soldiers. Like Tang Cheng and them, they camped in the field all night, Mike and Hou San had been waiting for Tang Cheng's attack signal for a long time, seeing that there were fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers on the Japanese position, Hou San and Mike were anxious for fear that they would miss this battle, but fortunately they finally waited for Tang Cheng's signal.
Matsuda curled up in the crater with his head in his hands, his rifle was thrown to the spot, and when Hou San's soldiers pointed their guns at the head, Matsuda subconsciously raised his hands and knelt down in the crater, shouting the words surrender and spare his life in stiff Chinese. There is the first one who surrenders voluntarily, there will be a second, the Japanese army has always flaunted the spirit of bushido, which will be completely forgotten by the Japanese soldiers who want to survive, after counting the prisoners, Hou San and Mike actually found that they captured alive more than 20 Japanese soldiers who raised their hands and surrendered.
"Save him, please save him." Nakagawa, who was wounded in many places, was lucky that he had not yet died, and Matsuda pulled out Nakagawa, who was covered in blood, from the crater, and kept begging for the fighter to capture him, praying that the other party could save Nakagawa. No one paid attention to Matsuda's pleas, everyone was busy cleaning up the battlefield and rescuing their wounded, and the life or death of a wounded Japanese soldier was not in their care.
"Don't chase it, you should always leave a few messengers to go back, you have to find something to do for the Japanese army in Magao, and the provincial command said that we didn't attract the attention of the Japanese army in northern Burma as planned." Except for the Japanese soldiers who were killed and captured in battle, there were still soldiers in the Oshima squadron who managed to escape alive, but they didn't know that this was Tang Cheng's intention, otherwise they would not have been able to escape the pursuit of Tang Cheng's scouts.
Successfully defeated a Japanese squadron, Mike's face was full of excitement, Tang Cheng was the company commander of the direct company, but in Ramgar's opinion, Mike was the actual commander of this unit, "I want these Japanese prisoners, it will take at least two days for the Japanese army to come here, I will take them to the forest first." If the Japanese army comes to attack, I will attack them from the periphery, and if we can take out their logistical baggage or artillery first, it will be easier on your side. ”
Tang Cheng pretended to go out to reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army, and Mike naturally knew what Tang Cheng was going to do, where would he go out to reconnoiter with prisoners? Leaving Hou San and Yanlong to stay with Mike, Tang Cheng only took a few of them and Cai Jincheng with them, and escorted Songtian and their Japanese prisoners to leave in a hurry. Cai Jincheng has been clamoring to see the jade mine, anyway, it is not far from Ma Gao, Tang Cheng thought that he was going to Ma Gao to investigate the enemy.
