Chapter Twenty-Three: Fishing in Troubled Waters
The ambulance soldier who doesn't like to talk is not in the sequence of fighting bayonets, he has only one task, to take advantage of the melee between the two sides, to drag as many weapons and ammunition of the dead Japanese soldiers back to the position as possible, and there are two wounded soldiers in the position who are injured in the thigh but their hands are intact will use the weapons and ammunition they have snatched back to provide fire support for everyone.
The veteran spoke very quickly, so fast that Tang Cheng couldn't hear clearly without his mind, and with a rifle with a bayonet in his hand, Tang Cheng's heart was pounding all the time. He couldn't kill the Japanese army with bullets from a long distance, and now if he wants to go up with a bayonet and fight the Japanese army, doesn't this mean that he will go up and send him to death? Tang Cheng thought about taking advantage of the chaos to run for his life, but the veteran who had been shot in the waist was staring at a few of their recruits, and Tang Cheng knew that if he showed that he wanted to flee for his life, the bayonet in the veteran's hand would definitely stab at him.
"Nani?" Looking at the figures who stood up from the ruins one after another, the Japanese officers who led the attack smiled, the people of China were about to fight bayonets, raised their arms high, and the Japanese soldiers in the attack stopped advancing according to the officer's orders. I don't know what the Japanese officer said, the Japanese soldier who burst out with a burst of laughter immediately pulled the bolt and pulled out the bullets in the chamber, watching Huang Chengcheng's bullets fall into the rubble, Tang Cheng and the gang were red-eyed, if you have these bullets, the ghost is willing to fight with you bayonets.
20 meters, 15 meters, 10 meters, just when the distance between the two sides was close enough to see the front teeth on the opposite side, the veteran standing in the front row suddenly raised the muzzle of his gun and shouted, "Fire." "Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang
The roar of "killing" sounded, and the soldiers with rifles jumped out of the ruin-like position and rushed towards the Japanese troops, first the platoon guns that were not on guard were close and fired, and then the grenades attacked, and the Japanese officers who signaled their soldiers to fight the stabbing battle were extremely annoyed. The people were too cunning, and before the white-knuckle battle began, the more than 40 imperial soldiers under his command had already suffered more than a third of the casualties, and if he hadn't seen that the other party had already killed with bayonets, he would have ordered the soldiers to throw grenades and tear this group of cunning people to pieces.
The bayonets shone in the sunlight with a deadly cold light, and when the bayonets intersected, there was not only a screeching sound but even sparks, and the falling bodies from time to time made the melee even more chaotic. It is not advantageous to fight with the Japanese army with bayonets, and it is not advantageous to use the Zhongzheng rifle or the national army made in Hanyang, because the Japanese army's 38 rifle will be longer than the national army's bayonet after being equipped with a bayonet, and it is this length that is enough to put Tangcheng and them at a disadvantage or even die in white-knuckle combat.
From the very beginning, Tang Cheng knew that he would only die faster if he went up to fight with the Japanese soldiers with bayonets, so after he jumped out of the position with the flow of people, he did not stupidly rush up with a rifle to fight with the Japanese soldiers, but went straight to a Japanese soldier corpse on the ground. It was a Japanese soldier who was killed by a platoon of guns, although there were no bullets in the chamber, but there must be bullets in the cartridge box on the waist of the corpse, as long as there were bullets, Tang Cheng could shoot the Japanese soldiers in the melee with the 38 rifle on the ground. Successively passing over several Japanese corpses on the ground, Tang Cheng pounced on the Japanese corpse on the far right, not far from this corpse was a crater, which was where Tang Cheng thought he was safe.
Throwing away the Zhongzheng rifle he was still holding in his hand, Tang Cheng used all his strength to drag the corpse down the crater, not caring about complaining about the shallow size of the crater, Tang Cheng took off the cartridge box on the corpse's waist. Fortunately, the sound can be heard when the cartridge is shaken, then there must be a bullet, and he took out the rifle from the corpse and placed it in front of him, and the overjoyed Tang Cheng opened the three cartridges on the belt in turn and poured out the bullets. Huang Chengcheng's bullets are covered with a bunch, which is great! Tang Cheng held back his excitement and didn't shout, and he was already cheering himself up with the loudest voice in his heart. What's next? Tang Cheng gently pulled the bolt of the gun and began to reload the bullets, while scanning the battlefield with his eyes thief, the crater he was hiding in now was not deep, but Tang Cheng planned to put the body of the Japanese soldier dragged over on the outer edge of the crater, so that Tang Cheng could not only free up enough space for himself to shoot, but also use the corpse of the Japanese soldier as a cover to cover the Japanese bullets.
Tang Cheng picked up with his gun and pressed the rifle on the back of the dead Japanese soldier, he had already found the first target, it was a burly Japanese soldier, this guy was a difficult person to deal with at first glance, Tang Cheng planned to attack him first. "Ah" Just when Tang Cheng's power was aiming, the Japanese soldier who was locked by him suddenly stepped forward and stabbed, and the bayonet that flashed with cold light had already pierced the body of a national soldier, but the national soldier who was pierced through the body by the bayonet was also stiff, and he grabbed his bayonet tightly with his hand, and the two were so deadlocked.
Faced with such an unavoidable opportunity, Tang Cheng would still miss it, and hurriedly pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot, mixed with the sound of fighting, did not attract the attention of both sides of the scuffle, but due to Tang Cheng's own nervousness, his shot also missed. He actually missed the target, Tang Cheng roared strongly in his heart, pulled the bolt again and pushed the bullet to load it or aimed at the Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier who had just raised his foot and kicked the opponent flew had a physical pause, and it was at this time that Tang Cheng fired a second shot, and the "snap" target fell in response, and the bullet shot by Tang Cheng hit his back, and the blood mist released from the bullet hole was very conspicuous.
Hit the first one, the back was much smoother, in less than a minute, Tang Cheng used up the 5 bullets in the chamber, but he only hit two Japanese soldiers, and the other three shots didn't know where they flew away. Like Tang Cheng, the three national army shooters who stretched out their flanks were also shooting Japanese soldiers, and the ambulance soldiers who snatched weapons and ammunition from the dead bodies were also doing the same thing, but his shooting accuracy seemed to be inferior to Tang Cheng, and the 5 bullets only wounded one Japanese soldier, and the other bullets almost injured his own people.
The speed of the three Nationalist shooters on the flank was far from being comparable to that of Tang Cheng and the ambulance soldiers, but fortunately, they also got the 38 rifle and Arisaka rifle cartridges from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the three rifles in their hands played a key role when the two sides were fighting each other in a stabbing melee. "Baga, on the grenadiers, kill them." The three overly concentrated Nationalist archers attracted the attention of the Japanese troops on the opposite side, who had always believed that white-knuckle combat was a manifestation of their bushido spirit, but the opponent had vilely arranged for the archers to sneak attack the Imperial soldiers, which they absolutely could not tolerate.
"Boom" and "Boom" The two grenadier grenades exploded on the flank of the position, and Tang Cheng, who turned his head to look over, happened to see the fragments of the national army's uniform mixed with the smoke, needless to say that the three shooters on the flank were finished. God bless me, Tang Cheng moved the muzzle of the gun to the side of the Japanese army, the two sides engaged in white-knuckle combat have not yet distinguished the advantages and disadvantages, although the Japanese army has the advantage of strong stabbing methods and weapon length, but the national army's fearless fight to death also made them very uncomfortable, especially the veteran of the national army with a neck wound was even more unstoppable, Tang Cheng personally watched no less than three Japanese soldiers fall under his bayonet.
"Another one" Tang Cheng pulled the trigger at the same time, the Japanese soldiers who were locked by him also fell to the ground, after the ambulance was bombarded by the Japanese grenadiers, Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the crater, became the only person in the entire battlefield who could provide fire support to the national army in the melee. The situation had begun to turn against the Nationalist army, and Tang Cheng was no longer cautious about hiding his body, if everyone was killed by the Japanese soldiers, even if he gave himself a thousand bullets, he would eventually die under the bayonets of the Japanese army hiding in the crater.
Aiming, shooting, pulling the bolt to load the bullet, aiming, shooting, pulling the bolt, Tang Cheng numbly repeated this whole set of actions, although not every bullet can hit the target, but Tang Cheng's shooting action is becoming more and more proficient, and the speed of shooting is getting faster and faster. Without the fear and anxiety when he shot first, Tang Cheng now just regarded the earthy yellow figures in his sight as the wooden stakes and stones that Liu Goat had talked about, and he had only one purpose in his heart, pushing these wooden stakes and stones would make him live.
Even though the situation on the battlefield was very chaotic, the Japanese army would not turn a blind eye to the "firepower point" of Tangcheng, and his successive shots quickly attracted the attention of the other side. After the Japanese grenadiers bombarded two rounds, Tang Cheng, who was lucky to survive, was still shooting, not that Tang Cheng was not panicked and calm, and Tang Cheng had fallen into a kind of magic barrier at this time. Shooting, loading, and shooting again, this is the only thing Tang Cheng remembers in his mind now, his shooting has become an instinctive reaction, as long as he is alive and there is an earthy yellow figure on the battlefield that can move, he will definitely shoot again.
Click! Tang Cheng pulled the trigger, but in response to him was not the crisp gun sound he expected, he pulled the trigger again, but what he heard was still a click, and he pulled the bolt in shock, the chamber of the gun was already empty, and there were no bullets in the chamber. Looking down at the body where he had placed the bullets, Tang Cheng's heart was suddenly discouraged, all the bullets collected from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were all gone, and more than 30 bullets were all shot out by Tang Cheng.
This is terrible, the two sides of the white-knuckle battle have divided the advantages and disadvantages, the Japanese army with the superior number occupies the dominant, the old soldier who was wounded in the neck has been killed in battle, and the 9 national soldiers who survived the white-knuckle battle have been surrounded by more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, and in a few more rounds, these 9 people will not all die under the Japanese bayonets, but now Tangcheng has no bullets.
