Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dawn Scuffle

Towards dawn, the Japanese launched another attack on the positions of the first battalion, and under the cover of two tanks, about 200 Japanese soldiers broke out of the stragglers and rushed up. Liu Goat had long been on guard against a sudden attack by the Japanese army, and after the secret post arranged in front of the position discovered the Japanese army's abnormal movement, it did not make a noise at all, but quietly retreated to the position, and the remaining light and heavy machine guns of the first battalion were ready to fire at any time at this time.

Tang Cheng was still arranged in the position of the second company, and Zhou Fu, who had half a cigarette in his mouth, lay down beside him, and in the daytime battle, a light machine gun of the second company was bombarded by the grenadiers of the Japanese army, and the light machine gun and the machine gunner were blown into parts. The only remaining light machine gun of the Second Company was placed by Zhou Fu only a few meters away from him, and the two grenadiers of the Second Company had been taken by Liu Goat to the position of the First Battalion.

Tang Cheng, who was no longer nervous in the face of the Japanese attack, lay quietly in the bunker, the bullets in the chamber of the Mauser rifle had been loaded, and two 20-shot barge guns with the nose of the same bullet loaded were also placed on his side. There was only one light machine gun left, and the grenadier was also taken away by Liu Goat, and the only weapon that could be called a strong firepower in the second company was these dozen 20-round shell guns, and the serious shortage of veterans in the second company also gave Tang Cheng the opportunity to use two shell guns.

When loading the magazine of the barge gun, Tang Cheng hung two leather magazine bags of the barge gun on his body in one go, counting the two magazines in the pistol, Tang Cheng had 8 magazines of 20 rounds on his body. In the melee during the day, the close-range shooting of the shell gun made Tang Cheng have a plan in his heart, his physique is not as strong as others, and he can't take advantage of the Japanese army's close-quarters stabbing at all, rather than holding up the rifle to send them to death, it is better to wait for the Japanese army to get close to fight in the melee combat, and directly use the shell gun to clean them up.

"Boom" sounded, a flame suddenly bloomed in the dark night, the sudden appearance of the fire flashed Tang Cheng, who had been staring at the dark night guard, couldn't help but shed tears, with the explosion of the fire ball illuminated the front of the position, the Japanese army's earthy yellow military uniform looked particularly eye-catching under the cover of the firelight. Tang Cheng's finger was already on the trigger of the rifle, but the order to fire was never given, and the Japanese soldier lying on the ground after the fire appeared did not see the other party reacting, and after a pause, he got up and moved forward.

"Boom" and "Boom" were two more fires that appeared in the dark night, and Tang Cheng, who had already adapted to the firelight, obviously saw the limbs rising with the explosion under the cover of the firelight. "Onboard, onboard." Stepping on the mines in a row, the Japanese army paid a certain number of casualties, but the two explosions failed to attract the opponent's resistance, which gave the Japanese army courage, seeing that it was less than 100 meters away from the position of the Chinese defenders, the Japanese officer who commanded the forward unit pointed forward with his saber and commanded his soldiers to accelerate towards the position of the first battalion.

At this time, the attacking Japanese army went straight to the position of the first battalion, and they had a chance to be a visitor in Tangcheng, and the Japanese captain Kobayashi Yuta looked at the opposite position of the branch and was extremely annoyed, and one of his squadrons was wiped out by the branch troops here. Kobayashi Yuta's ears sounded the instructions of the division commander, the shame of his own troops, only to wash away himself, must completely annihilate this unit, to wash away the shame of his own Kobayashi brigade.

The Japanese troops, who stepped on the mines in a row, did not carry out routine testing, so they began to attack under the cover of two tanks as the lead, but the position of the battalion on the opposite side has not responded, and the entire position is hidden in the dark night before dawn, like a dormant monster, Kobayashi Yuta has a bad feeling in his heart for no reason. In order to wash away the shame of Kobayashi's brigade, Yuta Kobayashi, who was commanding in the rear, still ordered the soldiers to speed up and ordered the two tanks to be responsible for opening the way.

The Japanese army had already entered the position of the first battalion less than 100 meters away, and the two mines triggered by the Japanese tanks failed to overturn the two iron shells. The last is less than 100 meters, as long as they rush through this distance of less than 100 meters, they can rush into the position of the Shina people, as long as they take this position, the shame that the Kobayashi brigade has received here can be washed away with the blood of the Shina people, the Japanese soldiers with rifles stared at the round eyes, and the murderous aura in their eyes was revealed.

80 meters, 70 meters, 60 meters, 50 meters, seeing that the Japanese troops under the light of the fire had rushed into the position of the first battalion less than 50 meters, but Liu Goat had not yet given the order to open fire, and Tang Cheng's nervous palms as a bystander on the flank position were full of cold sweat. Although there were light and heavy machine guns on the side of the first battalion, the Japanese army had two tanks as the lead this time, and Mazi had already tried it during the day, and it was impossible to destroy the Japanese tanks with machine guns. If the main position of the first battalion could not hold back the Japanese tanks, the entire position would be completely destroyed.

The Japanese army is getting closer and closer, but Liu Goat, who is lying in the trench of the main position of the first battalion, purses his lips, how Liu Goat does not know the power of the Japanese tanks in Ludao, but there are only these people left in the first battalion now, and I don't know how long the Second Regiment of Ludao wants them to hold on here. If the firepower of a battalion is exposed too early, it can only attract the Japanese artillery to clear it, and what Liu Goat can do now is to close the distance with the Japanese army and fight a melee battle, only when the two sides are mixed together, the Japanese army on the opposite side will not easily use their artillery to bombard the position.

The Japanese army had already crossed the distance of 40 meters, but there was still no movement on Liu Goat's side, not only Tang Cheng was in a hurry, but even most of the people in the camp were becoming more and more anxious. When everyone was in a hurry, Liu Goat, who was lying in the trench, suddenly closed his eyes, and the sound of the Japanese soldiers stepping on the gravel outside the position was already clearly visible, and the sound of obviously happy footsteps made Liu Goat's forehead bruise. Finally, Liu Goat stretched out an arm to the veterans lying on his left side, and the veterans who saw the gesture grabbed the grenade in front of him and prepared to throw it.

At 30 meters, the Japanese advance had rushed to a distance of 30 meters outside the position of the first battalion, and Liu Goat's closed eyes suddenly opened and shouted again and again, "Fire, fire." "The light and heavy machine gunners in the position of the first battalion, who were already ready to shoot, immediately pulled the trigger, and the distance of 30 meters was no longer enough time for the Japanese soldiers to make evasive moves, and the simultaneous firing of the light and heavy machine guns of the first battalion was a nightmare for these Japanese soldiers." Hand grenade" The veterans on Liu Goat's side threw the grenades in their hands one after another with the shouting, and under the cover of the fire and smoke that burst out after the grenade exploded, several figures rushed out of the bunker at the front of the battalion position and went straight to the two Japanese tanks.

The death squad, Tang Chengzhi, who probed out of the bunker to look around, said that it was the death squad organized by Liu Goat, and the death squad had only one task, that is, to kill the two tanks that the Japanese army came over. Seeing that the 4 daredevils had rushed forward, Tang Cheng in the trench was already unbearable, Tang Cheng was not a veteran like Liu Goat and Zhou Fu, and he couldn't do it to be able to ignore life and death. In Tang Cheng's heart, every soldier of the national army who dared to fight and die with the Japanese army with a gun was a good man and a good man, but just watching them use their lives to deal with the Japanese tanks, Tang Cheng didn't think it was a good deal.

The Japanese obviously did not expect that the defenders of China, who had not moved, would burst out with such strong firepower, and the imperial soldiers of a squadron were knocked down by more than a quarter of them in just one shot, and although the rapid-fire guns on the tanks were fired, the effect was not very ideal, and the machine guns on the positions in China did not stop firing. Four daredevils who turned out of the bunker rushed into the fireworks with cluster grenades, and the panicked Japanese soldiers who were blown up by the grenades thrown by the veterans of the first battalion raised their guns and shots one after another, paying the price of one killed and two people shot in the chest, and the three daredevils finally succeeded in getting close to the two Japanese tanks.

"Little devil, grandpa will reward you with a broken bean to taste." The smiling daredevils let the Japanese tanks run over them, and let out a long laugh when his little finger pulled off the tab of the cluster grenade in his arms. With several loud explosions, two Japanese tanks were paralyzed on their positions. "Fire, fire, leave these little devils here." When watching his subordinates sacrifice their lives to blast the Japanese tank again, the guilt in Liu Goat's heart ignited again, if he had a battle defense gun, those brothers would not have to be stupid to carry a grenade to die in vain.

Several light and heavy machine guns of the first battalion spat out bullets as if they didn't want money, and the light and heavy machine guns weaved an insurmountable network of firepower, and the two grenadiers that Liu Goat took from the second company bombarded the Japanese troops without showing weakness. The Japanese troops in the charge were suppressed by the fire of the first battalion and could not move, and Kobayashi Yuta ordered his artillery to cover the Shina position with fire to cover the withdrawal of his troops, but the Japanese army was now within a distance of twenty or thirty meters in front of the first battalion position, and the artillery under Kobayashi Yuta could not guarantee that the mortar shells they fired would not cause accidental injuries to the Japanese soldiers.

Kobayashi Yuta had no choice but to order a bombardment of the back of the Shina position to cover the withdrawal of the troops. After a burst of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, the Japanese charging troops quickly withdrew, and Liu Goat naturally would not give up this opportunity to beat the water dogs, but the Japanese artillery was not to be outdone by shooting shells to cover the evacuation of his comrades, so that the first battalion could only evade the Japanese artillery bombardment first and lose the opportunity to pursue the Japanese army.

The first battalion repelled this Japanese charge at a very small cost, and Kobayashi Yuta had to suspend the attack on the position of the first battalion, and there was a rare calm on the battlefield, only the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in front of the first battalion position and the two Japanese tanks that were on fire, reminding everyone that a major battle had just been experienced here.
