Chapter 102: Night Battle (5)
Tang Cheng, who was swinging his arms and running with all his might, had no time to take care of anything else, this was not the first time Tang Cheng had a short encounter with the Japanese army, when he was in Nanjing City, Tang Cheng followed Liu Goat to do this more than once, but at that time there were only a dozen Japanese soldiers at most, and the Japanese army he had to face now was more than a hundred. Tang Cheng, who was running, did not shoot, this will only expose himself because of the gunfire, Tang Cheng, who lowered his head and only cared about running, ran more than 20 meters, and immediately fell in front of the corpse of the first Japanese soldier.
Tang Cheng appeared too suddenly, and unlike the soldiers of the 173rd Division who were fighting against the charge, they roared and rushed forward, and when Tang Cheng had already fallen next to the corpse of the Japanese army, the attacking Japanese army noticed Cao Jinhu and them who rushed over later. "Pap" "Pap" The Japanese raised their guns and shot, and the soldiers of the garrison regiment who followed behind Cao Jinhu were shot and fell a few times, but the others still arrived safely at Tang Cheng's side.
"Throw a grenade, find a grenade from a corpse." Finding grenades from the corpses of Japanese soldiers is the counterattack plan that Tang Cheng hastily formulated. Tang Cheng, who had completely lost his strong firepower, only had a light machine gun supported by Liu Goat, and this firepower could not stop the Japanese attack at all, and most of the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers were scattered within 20 meters of the position, so Tang Cheng hit the idea on those corpses. It doesn't take too much, as long as he gives Tang Cheng dozens of grenades, he is sure to block this attack of the Japanese army, even if he can't stop the attack of the Japanese army, he will create the maximum casualties for the Japanese attacking troops as much as possible.
Cao Jinhu, who had excellent arm strength, took the two grenades handed by Tang Cheng and threw them out without even stopping for extra time, and the grenades that exploded in the Japanese army brought two clouds of blood mist to splash away, which greatly boosted the spirits of the soldiers of the garrison regiment who rushed out of the position with Tang Cheng. The light machine guns that had moved to the flanks were still spitting out a rain of bullets, which was the cover fire arranged by Tang Cheng, and only by attracting the attention of the Japanese machine guns could Tang Cheng and them have a chance to succeed.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" continuous firelight appeared with the explosion, and the Japanese troops who were covered by the firelight were gradually shrouded in smoke, which gave Tangcheng them greater opportunities and space for activities. There was no time to pay attention to whether the Japanese soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground were still alive, Tang Cheng and they crawled on the ground and groped for the grenades on the Japanese soldiers, and then pulled the ring of the grenade and knocked it hard, and then threw it vigorously, with no other thoughts in their minds, they just remembered to find the grenades and throw them out quickly.
Tang Cheng didn't know that his plan was actually very dangerous, if it was not a night battle but a daytime, the attacking Japanese army would definitely beat Tang Cheng into a colander when he started to charge. The night gave Tang Cheng a great help in implementing this plan, and the flickering firelight greatly affected the sight and judgment of the attacking Japanese army, as long as Tang Cheng did not get up and make some big moves, it would be difficult for the attacking Japanese army to lock their position in Tang Cheng.
The light machine gun behind Tang Cheng fired the last burst of fire, and finally stopped firing, and Tang Cheng, who was rummaging for grenades from the corpses of Japanese soldiers, secretly screamed that it was not good. He has been paying attention to the machine gun fire behind him, the light machine gun is the only means that Tang Cheng can handle, the machine gun stops firing, which means that his only means of attracting the opponent's machine gun has disappeared, as long as the machine gunners of the Japanese drama have their hands free, they will become the target of the Japanese machine gun suppression.
"Puff puff" Tang Cheng guessed really well, the machine gun behind him stopped firing for only a few seconds, and a string of bullets fired from the opposite side pressed Tang Cheng couldn't raise his head, the Japanese corpse in front of Tang Cheng became a good cover, and the bullets from the Japanese machine gun knocked the corpse out of a string of blood mist. The heavy smell of blood began to diffuse around Tang Cheng with the sound of bullets hitting the flesh, and he reached out to wipe the blood spots splashed on his face, Tang Cheng held a grenade and looked up slightly to find the location of the Japanese machine gun.
Another string of bullets hit him, and a soldier of the garrison regiment, who was swinging his arm to drop a bomb, fell on the corpse of the Japanese soldier, and the bullets fired from the Japanese machine gun made several bullet holes in his chest. "Be careful" Tang Cheng lay on the ground and curled up his arms to protect his neck, and the grenade that fell from the hands of the soldiers of the garrison exploded with a "boom", and Cao Jinhu, who heard Tang Cheng's shouting but didn't have time to react, didn't even make a sound, and half of his head was cut off by the flying shrapnel.
The Japanese machine guns have been suppressing Tang Cheng and them, although Tang Cheng already has three grenades on hand, but he can't find a chance to throw these grenades at all, and the dozen or so garrison regiment soldiers who followed Tang Cheng out of the position are now only 4 people left. What to do? Now it is Tangcheng, where there is no way to advance and no retreat, and there is no way to go forward and no way to retreat, and they have been trapped here by the crossfire formed by the two Japanese machine guns.
Are you going to die here? Tang Cheng's vision had already seen the cold light of the Japanese bayonets under the light of the fire, and he knew that this was the Japanese attacking force moving forward again, and it was already very close to him. Anxiety and nervousness filled Tang Cheng's mind, under the pressure of the Japanese attacking troops, Tang Cheng's mind was completely blank, he couldn't think of any other way to stop the Japanese attack, and he couldn't think of a way to get himself out of danger and continue to live.
"Boom" A fireball suddenly rose in the Japanese attack formation opposite Tang Cheng, and the sudden explosion caused Tang Cheng to raise his head and look forward, the explosion just now was definitely not made by a grenade, and the explosion of the grenade was not so big. "Boom" was another explosion, and the Japanese machine guns that had been blocking and suppressing Tangcheng were dumbfounded, and the Japanese attack began to stagnate, although it was not known what was happening, but now this situation is what Tangcheng wants to see.
"Bombing" the position of another light machine gun of the Japanese army once again vacated the ball of fire, this time Tang Cheng found the answer, it was a mortar, and the mortar from behind him was bombarding the Japanese machine gun. Anxiety and nervousness had already distracted Tang Cheng, and he did not hear the screaming of the mortar shell as it crossed the air, until the third mortar shell exploded in the Japanese army, and the anxious Tang Cheng found the answer.
"Boom" "Boom" Tang Cheng threw two grenades one after another, and then took the opportunity to retreat to his position with the remaining grenades. Mortar support could not repel the Japanese attack, and if Tang Cheng could not seize this opportunity to withdraw to his position, then he would become a corpse in front of the position, just like Cao Jinhu. You must know that the Japanese army will never have only those two machine guns, they will have more light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars and even mountain artillery.
Tang Cheng's position has long been dilapidated and unpresentable, and the soldiers who are still alive are scattered and lying in the trenches that are still intact, and the first thing Tang Cheng saw when he returned to the position was Liu Goat, because when everyone else was lying down, only Liu Goat was using a telescope to observe the movement of the Japanese army. The military uniform on Liu Goat's body was also as tattered as Tang Cheng's, and his face was gray and black after he had already shaved off his goatee, only the white teeth looked clean.
"You kid, didn't I tell you to hold your position well, what did you say you ran out for?" The limping Liu Goat did not teach Tang Cheng a lesson as Tang Cheng imagined, but did not mention this matter in a light sentence, which surprised Tang Cheng very much. "These 10 people are my last reserves, all of them are for you, remember, the position must be held until dawn, even if you fill it in yourself, you must hold it." Liu Goat slapped Tang Cheng on the shoulder, and the tiredness in his expression made Tang Cheng feel sad.
Tang Cheng didn't know why Liu Goat always emphasized that he wanted him to hold his position until after dawn, and he really didn't have much time to dwell on this issue at this time, and after handing over the 10 people he brought to Tang Cheng, the limping Liu Goat took Liu Shi back to his position, and took the mortar with him. The Japanese army, whose two machine guns had been discarded, finally retreated, and although they inflicted heavy casualties on the position of Tangcheng, their night attack was ultimately unsuccessful.
If it was usual, Tang Cheng would definitely send people to search for weapons and ammunition on the corpses of Japanese soldiers after the Japanese army retreated, but he didn't dare to send people out now. Only 3 of the dozen or so people who followed him to attack came back, and there were less than 20 people left on Tang Cheng's position, and these manpower were all used by Tang Cheng on the blade, and Tang Cheng judged that when the Japanese army retreated, they would definitely leave sharpshooters, and they would take a few lives in vain for some ammunition, and such a deal was obviously not cost-effective.
The attack at 2 o'clock in the morning was blocked by Tang Cheng, and the retreating Japanese army failed to organize another attack before dawn, which made Tang Cheng, who had held in the position all night, very unhappy but also quite lucky. The sky was already white, the visibility of the warring sides was increasing little by little, and the battlefield after the night battle was also clearly appearing in Tang Cheng's sight little by little. Rubbing his bloodshot eyes, Tang Cheng was surprised by the danger of last night, and the corpses scattered on the battlefield proved the danger of last night for Tang Cheng.
"Well, are all the devil soldiers we killed last night?" One of the guys beside Tang Cheng also rubbed his eyes, he was not sleepy, but he was shocked in disbelief by the scene in front of him. There are at least more than 100 corpses scattered in front of the garrison's 200-meter-long position, of course, most of these corpses belong to the Japanese army, and the strength of a regular squad of the Japanese army is between 60 and 70 people, and it can kill a Japanese squad in two night battles.
