Chapter Seventy-Six: Night Battle
Yan Long didn't dare to make a big move, so he could only lightly touch Tang Cheng's body with his own foot, and the latter immediately stopped what he was doing. The two Japanese sentries who had stopped talking had their guns bolted, one standing where he was, the other walking towards him with his gun in his hand. The palm of the rock dragon's gun began to sweat, and the trigger was already tightly hooked on the index finger, and the veteran scout who was lying next to the rock dragon had even grabbed a grenade in his hand.
The sentry with the rifle flat came closer and closer, and the killing intent in the eyes of the rock dragon became more and more intense, just waiting for the sentry to come to him, and the rock dragon would end the life of the Japanese soldier. The bayonet swayed in the cold light of the moonlight and approached the grass, and when it was only half a step away from the grass, the Japanese sentry with a rifle suddenly stopped. After a moment of silence, the bayonet in the sentry's hand suddenly stabbed obliquely into the grass, and the bayonet glittering with cold light grazed Tang Cheng's body obliquely into the soil, and the sentry who drew back the bayonet stood in place for a while, until he was sure that there was nothing unusual here, and then he turned back with a grunt.
Yan Long, who was lucky enough to escape, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was elbowed by Tang Cheng beside him, "Withdraw." Tang Cheng closed the notebook and put it back in his pocket, as if he was not surprised by the scene that happened beside him just now. He believed in himself and at the same time believed in the ability of the two Yanlong, and the three of them slowly retreated along the way they came when the Japanese sentry returned. Returning to their hidden position in the dice, the soldiers had been waiting a little anxiously, and when they saw that the three of them had returned safely, the veterans immediately surrounded them.
"The specific situation is like this, if we kill those two sentries just now, when the guard changes, the body of the sentry will be found, and the Japanese army will immediately strengthen the defense behind the position." Tang Cheng carefully explained the situation he had scouted, and then looked at the seven or eight veteran non-commissioned officers under his command. At all times, non-commissioned officers are the backbone and backbone of a combat team, and he must rely on them to fight this battle, especially since these non-commissioned officers are veterans of the Japanese army.
The map of the Japanese army's position recorded by Tang Cheng is not exquisite and detailed, but this is much more detailed than what the three guys of the 114th Regiment said, and Tang Cheng can only rely on this sketch to carry out their actions. Tang Cheng once again returned to the back of the valley with Yanlong and a few scouts, and the lights of the Japanese army in the valley were even thinner, and it was still quiet all around. The dice only retreated and did not follow a piece into it, but dug trenches and foxholes in the high ground behind the valley, and the shovels and sapper pickaxes that he had always carried with him came into play.
They are all veterans mixed up in the ranks of the national army, and it is not necessary to kill the enemy, but the skill of saving life must be good. With the sound of chattering, a spade of earth was raised, and the construction of the fortifications was quickly completed in silence. The excavated earth and stones are used as a breastwork at the front of the trench, and as long as it is not fired in a cannon swarm, it will definitely be carried and attacked. Touching back to the perimeter of the Japanese fortifications just now, the two Japanese sentries who were originally chatting had stopped talking, one of them was dozing off with his rifle in a ball, and the other was holding a flashlight, not knowing what he was writing.
Tang Cheng made a gesture at Yan Long, and seeing Yan Long nodding, Tang Cheng raised his hand and threw a stone between his fingers far away. The stones thrown by Tang Cheng made a sound when they fell into the grass not far from the Japanese outpost, and the Japanese sentry, who was writing on a flashlight, stopped his movements when he heard the sound, picked up the rifle leaning on his side and walked out of the sentry post to the grass that made a sound. A few stabs with a bayonet at the grass, the Japanese sentry who heard the sound did not notice anything unusual, and only waited for him to withdraw the bayonet before turning around.
Yan Long, who had already prepared, had already carried a bayonet in one hand, stepped behind the Japanese sentry in a few steps, and like a wolf that had been lurking for a long time suddenly launched an attack on its prey, his left hand reached out to cover the mouth and nose of the Japanese sentry, and his right hand slashed the throat of the other party with the bayonet in his hand. The rock dragon's movements were too fast, and before the Japanese sentry could make a warning, he was pressed down by a powerful palm to hold down his mouth and nose, and his throat was cold at the same time, and his body immediately softened.
His last cry was only in his thoughts, and the cross-cutting knife of the rock dragon not only cut his trachea and vocal cords, but also cut straight into the large blood vessels in his neck. The sound of blood spurting into the air was like the sound of the wind, and the massive blood loss in an instant made the Japanese sentry sweak his hands, feet, and body, and the finger that pulled the trigger was immediately released weakly.
The Japanese sentry in the outpost was still napping, unaware of what was happening outside the outpost, or that his companion had lost his life at the moment. In the darkness, a figure jumped into the sentry post, only to see a flash of white light, and the Japanese sentry who was curled up in the sentry post and napping was also cut by a bayonet. The two Japanese sentries guarding this place had become corpses, and Tang Cheng, who was lying in the grass, made a gesture, and a machine gun team followed entered the sentry post to temporarily replace the position of the Japanese sentry.
I don't know what kind of willingness it is, Tang Cheng's machine gun team has just set up the light machine gun, but a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the quiet valley of the fake, and this sudden change made Tang Cheng and the others dumbfounded. More than a dozen fires rose in the valley one after another, and groups of Japanese soldiers ran out of their tents and entered a state of imminent battle. A Japanese officer yelled a few times, and with a finger of the command knife in his hand, a Japanese soldier in a Japanese squad immediately ran and advanced in the direction of the trench, and suddenly dispersed near the valley mouth in the southeast, forming a wave-like skirmish line to search and advance towards the hillside.
Tang Cheng made a gesture, and the soldiers who followed behind him crouched down in unison, their current position was on the back of the valley, and the direction of the Japanese army's impact in the valley was completely different from them, so they didn't have to worry about these Japanese troops in the valley at all. The soldiers all pressed their heads neatly, with grenades and magazines at hand, these veterans of the national army who rolled out of the blood and fire, all of them had experienced a hundred battles, and there was no need for Tang Cheng to worry about the psychological elements of the battle.
Half an hour later, the Japanese troops who had searched the southeast began to return to the camp, and they didn't know what the Japanese officer who commanded them just now shouted, and the direction of the mobilized Japanese army this search was exactly the direction facing Tangcheng and them. At 400 meters, Tang Cheng did not move, although this had already entered the sniper range of the sniper. 300 meters Tang Cheng still didn't move, but the soldiers lying on the side couldn't hold it down, 200 meters, all the soldiers couldn't hold it down, their fingers were clasped on the trigger, just waiting for Tang Cheng to give the order to start fighting.
The Japanese were already within 200 meters, and Tang Cheng whispered to one of the scouts beside him, who hurriedly ran to the dice behind him. With Tang Cheng's gesture, the veterans raised their weapons slightly, and they all knew that Tang Cheng was going to let the enemy into a range of 50 meters before starting the fight. The Japanese mostly used bolt-action rifles, and the results were predictable when they faced the eight-round burst of semi-automatic fire from Thomson submachine guns and Garand rifles at close range.
The straggler line of the Japanese army retreated forward more than ten meters, and a tom suddenly sounded on the slope behind Tang Cheng, and the flares fired by the mortar suddenly took off into the air, drawing a dazzling arc of light from the sky above Tang Cheng. The flares that rose up flashed with cold light, and when they landed in all directions, they were as bright as day, and the Japanese troops who were pressing the straggler line were exposed in the cold light. The Japanese squad leader roared angrily, and before the command knife was fully raised, his body suddenly stopped, and a bloody hole appeared on the military cap. Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and the colleague who shouted to open fire had already pulled the trigger, and the flying bullets instantly rained down on the Japanese troops under the cold light.
The barrage frenzy of semi-automatic weapons rushed straight into the searching Japanese troops, and in the face of dense gunfire, after losing the squad leader who commanded the battle, the Japanese army experienced a period of confusion, and after a second lieutenant took over the command, it began to organize a counterattack and retreat under the sudden blow of dense firepower. The Japanese army came and disappeared as fast as a flare in mid-air, and before they could even heat up the barrel of their guns in Tangcheng, the Japanese army disappeared into the firing range and the night.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers fell in front of them in Tangcheng, and some Japanese soldiers who were not yet dead kept moaning and squirming. Tang Cheng blankly loaded his carbine with a full magazine, and then aimed at one of the wounded Japanese soldiers before the flares disappeared, firing one shot after another. Tang Cheng's always accurate marksmanship seemed to be out of order at this time, and the bullets that burst out of the chamber always failed to kill the other party, and the continuous bullets in his hands and feet made the wounded Japanese soldier scream even more. The screams and wails made people's scalps tingle, all the soldiers were looking at Tang Cheng, and everyone's eyes were full of horror, they had only seen the Japanese do this kind of torture and killing of the wounded.
Tang Cheng didn't seem to see everyone's gaze at him, and he still pulled the trigger again and again, and when the last bullet whistled out of the chamber, Tang Cheng let out a sigh and stopped his movements. The wounded Japanese soldier who was continuously concentrated in Tang Cheng still did not lose his breath, but the screams were much quieter, and for him, death was only a matter of time. With the help of the cold light emitted by the flare in mid-air, Tang Cheng saw three mortars posed by the Japanese army in the distance in the telescope.
"Hide, watch out for shelling." Tang Cheng didn't wait for the other party to open fire, he first shouted and commanded the soldiers around him to evacuate backwards, and the group didn't run a few steps before they saw several fire dragons rising in the Japanese position, and the sound of cannon ejection suddenly came. As soon as everyone retracted into the side pit of the trench, the shells from the Japanese continued to fall overhead and burst open, and the soil splashed by the explosion of the shells fell down non-stop.
