Chapter 22: Dead
"Pop" A piece of rubble on Tang Cheng's side was hit by a bullet and bounced up, the Japanese army's attack this time was different from the previous two times, they would no longer be in such a hurry to charge, but rubbed this way little by little. Moreover, the shooting accuracy of the Japanese army is obviously much stronger than that of this side, and Tang Cheng and the others have been pressed and beaten by the Japanese army, and they dare not get up and fight back at all.
Tang Cheng, who had experienced two battles and night battles in turn, huddled in the bunker with his rifle in his arms, and the little courage he had just mustered disappeared without a trace, even the company commander who had been scolding did not dare to risk being hit by the other party to get up and face the battle, Tang Cheng had more scolding in their ears. "Fight back, you stupid heads, the Japanese know that we are running out of ammunition, if they get up, none of us will be able to escape, shoot back."
Everyone who tried their best to save their lives turned a deaf ear, you are not afraid of being killed by the Japanese, then you get up and fight back and show us, shouting at the company commander, everyone's hearts are full of complaints. "Damn, I'm afraid of a ball, my head has fallen off a bowl and I have a big scar, and eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again." Under the sharp fanning of the company commander, someone finally jumped out to fill the big one. Tang Cheng squinted and looked over, it was the guy called Noble, after being recruited into this miscellaneous company from Tang Cheng in a daze, this Noble followed the company commander like a dog's leg and flattered, this guy is a ghost thief and a thief, at this time he is a good man.
"Look at what Lao Tzu is doing, little Japan is about to touch it, our company commander is right, if you lie on your stomach like this, you won't be able to run for a while, rather than waiting to be stabbed to death by little Japan's bayonets, it's better to fight with them, maybe we can survive a few." Noble screamed viciously with a pair of smoky red eyes, but he pushed the bolt with a clatter, but his body didn't want to move. The few veterans who survived have been silent, and none of these veterans have the ability to fan people and fool the recruits to go to the guns of the Japanese, which is not a secret matter in the national army for a long time.
Tang Cheng squinted his eyes and pondered carefully, Noble is not a brave person, but he is so excited now, it is definitely not that Noble wants to fight the Japanese army, there must be some other reason here. Noble's fanning worked, and at least four of the recruits loaded and clenched their rifles, and when Noble fired the first shot, several of them would get up and shoot. "This is the company commander's idea" Tang Cheng inadvertently saw the eye contact between Noble and the company commander, and with a brain teaser, Tang Cheng understood the reason why Noble was so excited, it turned out that this was all the company commander's instructions.
"Shooting" received the eyes of the company commander, Noble gritted his teeth and yelled and stretched his rifle out of the bunker and pulled the trigger, "snapped" the bullet that shot out of the chamber of the gun and didn't know where it went. The sudden opening of fire from the opponent's position surprised the attacking Japanese troops, but the recruits who followed the Noble shot were hit by the Japanese shooters in the next moment and fell back, and they poked out of the bunker and shot half of their bodies The target was too big, and in the face of dozens of rifles from the Japanese army, the four of them could only be beaten as live targets.
"Fire, fire, shoot the Japanese back." The four recruits who acted as decoys succeeded in temporarily attracting the Japanese fire, and the company commander, who had been prepared, cut off the well-loaded light machine gun. Although the torrent of metal sprayed from the muzzle of the machine gun was too weak, it was completely sufficient to deal with the Japanese troops who had entered the firing range of 50 meters, and the veterans who survived the "pop" and "pop" also fired together, and Tang Cheng, who was still in shock, also fired two shots, but it is unknown whether they hit the target.
In the battle for position, the machine gun has always been a sharp weapon to suppress the infantry, although there is only one light machine gun left on the Tangcheng side, it has already suppressed dozens of Japanese soldiers and could not move. The Japanese army, which reacted fairly quickly to "boom" and "boom", began to use grenadiers to bombard and suppress the opponent's light machine guns, but unfortunately the company commander with the light machine gun was very cunning, and he would change the firing position almost once after half a magazine, and the speed at which the grenade grenade of the Japanese grenade could not keep up with the speed of his movement.
"Shoot, you guys get up and shoot back, do you want to be stabbed to death by the Japanese bayonets?" Tang Cheng, who was still huddled in the bunker, ushered in the company commander's scolding. Now is a matter of life and death, and one more person means more strength. "Dang" accompanied by this extremely peculiar sound, Tang Cheng, who didn't dare to close his eyes, saw the company commander tremble suddenly like electricity, and a blood line still appeared on his slightly raised face, and then the whole fell backwards in a terrifying twisted posture.
In Tang Cheng's impression, Lian Chang was like a rampaging gorilla, but now his upper body was stiff and tense, and his limbs seemed to be instantly drained of strength. The company commander died, and the steel helmet was pierced by a bullet fired by the Japanese army, but the company commander still gave Tang Cheng a death baptism after his death. After the company commander's body fell to the ground, the light machine gun held in his right hand suddenly roared, the muzzle of the gun jumped bright yellow flames, and a series of bullets grazed Tang Cheng's body and swept a burst of mud on the ground.
Counting the face-to-face encounters with the Japanese soldiers in the alley and the last night's trip to collect ammunition, this is the third time since Robert's death that Tang Cheng has faced the threat of death, and this time it is the closest to death. Tang Cheng, who was huddled on the ground, could even feel the heat of the machine gun bullets grazing his body, and if he wasn't on the battlefield now, he would definitely peel off his clothes to check if he was injured. "Dead" The ambulance soldier who crawled over like an earthworm against the ground took off the company commander's steel helmet and looked at the broken head, and muttered in a low tone, if it weren't for Zhao Zhi being closest to him, he would hardly have heard what he just said.
"The little devil came up, shoot, shoot." A veteran with a bullet in the neck struggled to throw out the last grenade on his body, almost crawling over and snatching the light machine gun from the ambulance. "If you die, what will happen to these injured brothers?" The veteran's eyes turned to Tang Cheng, who was looking at him, "You, looking at him, even if you die, you can't make him have anything to do." Facing the veteran's blood-stained face, Tang Cheng nodded subconsciously.
The company commander died, and so did Noble who had been slapping his horse, and when he saw the company commander being shot and falling, Noble who was also shrunk in the bunker like Tang Cheng got up like crazy and threw grenades continuously, and when he threw the third and last one, a string of bullets from the Japanese machine gun pierced his body. Tang Cheng has always been confused about the difference between a machine gun and a rifle hitting the human body, but this time he saw it with his own eyes, the Noble who was shot by the Japanese machine gun was very similar to the marionette that Tang Cheng had seen in the downtown of the overpass in Beiping City when he was a child, a large cloud of blood mist rose from Noble's body, and Noble's body kept twisting and shaking like a puppet, until he fell down as stiff as the company commander.
Tang Cheng watched silently during the whole process of Noble being shot, there was no fear in his eyes, no fear, only respect for the deceased. Noble is not a good person, he is a sloppy horseman, he bullies recruits like Tang Cheng, although Noble is a recruit himself. But Noble is dead now, the Noble who has been slapping the horse by the side of the company commander is dead, and Tang Cheng's contempt for him has also disappeared, Noble died in the direction of the Japanese bullets, and did not leave his back to the Japanese army, no matter how Noble behaves, he is a gentleman, an upright Chinese man.
There were fewer and fewer people alive in the position, and there were fewer and fewer bullets, and the light machine guns that the veterans had snatched from the ambulances had long since run out of ammunition. The lightly and seriously wounded all gathered together to reload the bullets of the person who was engrossed in the injection, and the loaded rifles were sent by Tang Cheng and another lightly wounded man, but even if everyone slowed down the speed of their shooting, after a few minutes, Tang Cheng's side finally ran out of all the bullets they could find. "Look again and see if you can find any more ammunition." The wounded veteran pulled a rifle bridge out of the dirt beneath his feet, and although there were only three rounds on it, it made the veteran grin with joy.
The person who didn't want to die here like this was crazy and rummaged through the floating soil around him with his hands, Tang Cheng also pulled out two bullets from the floating soil under his feet, and the ambulance who didn't like to talk even found a grenade. 21 rounds of ammunition and two grenades, this is the ammunition left behind the 28 of them in Tangcheng, and there are more than 40 Japanese soldiers in sight, which means that even if one shot is counted and the Japanese soldiers who are reimbursed by grenades, there will still be at least 10 Japanese soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition at the end of the day.
"Get on the bayonet, let's fight with the little devil here." The veteran with a wounded neck swallowed the water with difficulty, and then handed all the remaining bullets to the three soldiers who were still accurate in shooting, "The three of you have 5 bullets each, and I will take 5 people to shoot a platoon of guns first, and then you will fight again, and when I throw a grenade, those who can still move will follow Lao Tzu to fight bayonets, if anyone dares to be a deserter, Lao Tzu will be the first to kill him." ”
The veteran's words made the guys who had the intention to flee feel chills in their hearts, the blood-colored eyes looked very infiltrating, according to the veteran's command, the 5 soldiers with a bullet in the chamber and the veteran lined up in the middle, and the three shooters with 5 bullets went to the flank to lie down and wait for the opportunity. After the grenade thrown by the veteran exploded, he had to rush up with the lightly wounded and the six people in the first echelon to resist the Japanese army, creating an opportunity and time for the ambulance soldiers to snatch weapons and ammunition back.
