Chapter 35: Shock
The rest of the second company came and went quickly, just like when Liu Shanyang received the order to rest and recuperate, and the exhausted second company only slept in the city for one night, and then received the order to support the city gate. "Damn, these grandsons of the teaching team are willing to stop only after tossing our second company clean, doesn't he Xie Chengrui have a reserve team? Why don't you just let the reserves go, why do you keep holding on to us? Zhou Fu, who was pushed awake by Liu Goat, looked unhappy, and kept complaining in his mouth.
Tang Cheng, who had woken up a long time ago, also refused to get up, wrapped his military uniform tightly and nested on the bench that served as a bed and refused to get up. The 2nd Company was ordered to withdraw and recuperate, but the 2nd Regiment was provided with only some food and ammunition, and the 2nd Company was not given a barracks to rest and recuperate. In desperation, Liu Goat had no choice but to lead people to smash open a shop on the side of the road, the owner of the shop had long since disappeared, and there were only some tables, chairs and benches left in the store, so Tang Cheng and they could only sleep on the bed made of tables and chairs for the night.
"Don't talk about those useless ones, we are now under the control of other people's teaching teams, if you don't want to go, believe it or not, other people's law enforcement teams will kill you immediately?" Liu Goat, who was also not very good, squinted at Zhou Fu, who naturally couldn't turn his face with Liu Goat, so he had to laugh a few times, and then urged Tang Cheng and them to get up and pack their things. The gunfire outside did not stop all night, although I don't know how the battle situation in Ludao was playing, but the second company only rested for one night, and the physical strength that had been lost had not recovered at all, including Liu Goat himself, all looked weak.
"I gave the bullets to the brothers, and when I went to the city gate, I don't know if there is any ammunition to replenish the road." Liu Goat sent down the 20 rings that were still stained with blood one each, and he and Tang Cheng were still carrying two guns. The Japanese army attacked the city, and they could not avoid the close combat with the Japanese army, and the power of the shell gun in close combat had already been proven, and this box of pistol bullets could be regarded as the biggest reliance of the second company.
Tang Cheng filled his 8 pistol magazines with bullets, grabbed a handful of bullets and put them in his pocket, and kept making a noise on his body when he walked, provoking Zhou Fu to scold Tang Cheng for being a money fan. In the face of Zhou Fu's laughter and scolding, Tang Cheng turned a deaf ear, compared to the Mauser rifle, Tang Cheng seemed to be better at using a 20-round barge gun, so after carrying the maximum amount of pistol bullets, when distributing rifle bullets, Tang Cheng just casually received 40 rifle rounds and put them in the bullet bag.
Xie Chengrui's herald kept urging the second company to hurry up and go to the city gate to support, as an officer, Liu Goat was not easy to disobey the military order, but fortunately, the remaining dozen people in the second company were still sensible, after distributing the ammunition, Zhou Fu led the people of the second company to follow Liu Goat to the city gate. "My mother, when we came back yesterday, the city gate was still in good condition, and it was only one night, why did it become like this." Looking at the dilapidated Guanghua Gate, Zhou Fu was a little dumbfounded in disbelief.
"Boy, what do you daydream in the daytime, walk with your eyes." The drowsy Tang Cheng followed Liu Goat step by step with his Mauser rifle on his back, and he didn't know how to dodge the rumbling movement behind him, if it wasn't for Zhou Fu reaching out and pulling Tang Cheng to the side of the road, Tang Cheng would have been directly crushed into meat paste by the tank that appeared behind him. Looking along Zhou Fu's line of sight, this was the first time Tang Cheng had seen the national army's own tanks, and the two majestic tanks crossed the second company that flashed on the side of the road and continued to move towards the city gate, and the blue sky and white sun flag sign on the body of the car made the national soldiers who saw them cheer in unison.
However, the Nationalist troops who had exchanged fire with Japanese troops were not afraid of Japanese artillery and aircraft, but of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. The number of anti-aircraft guns of the national army was pitiful, and they could not completely suppress the Japanese tanks. Tanks with strong armor can easily crush the defense line of the national army, and the only way to destroy the Japanese tank is to send death squads to use cluster grenades, but the casualties are too great, so everyone cheers when they see the national army's own tank fighting vehicles.
There was a scene of thunderous laughter, and the 12 people of the Second Company seemed to be bystanders from the outside, and even Tang Cheng only glanced at the two national tanks that were heading towards the city gate, and the others were not even interested in looking at them. "Something is wrong, tell the brethren to be careful." Almost everyone was cheering, only Liu Goat suddenly frowned and looked up at the sky, Tang Cheng, who was attached to Liu Goat, subconsciously followed and looked up, and as far as the eye could see, Tang Cheng found a few small black spots.
"Let's go, it's an airplane, it's a Japanese plane." Liu Goat's first reaction was to beckon the people of the second company to leave the main street and run towards a small alley not far away, "There are planes, there are planes." Liu Goat shouted loudly while running, but unfortunately the soldiers of the national army on both sides of the street were still immersed in cheering joy, and no one paid attention to the abnormality of the dozen or so people in the second company.
"Damn, you deserve to be blown up." The men of the second company rushed into the alley with a roar, and Zhou Fu, who was walking in the back of the road, had just entered the alley when the screams of falling aerial bombs interrupted the cheers. The Japanese fighter planes that appeared in everyone's sight flew very low, so low that the national soldiers on the ground could clearly see the plaster flag logo on the wings. "Boom" "Boom" explosions sounded continuously on the main street, and in the heart-rending loud sound, several clouds of flames and smoke rose from the main street from which Liu Goat and the others had just fled.
A huge explosion sounded, and the heavy body of the leading national tank suddenly jumped towards the gun, and the entire hull was engulfed by the flames of the explosion, and then thick black smoke rose from the hull. Zhou Fu, who had just stepped into the alley with one foot, only to feel a push behind him, and then a black body shook in front of him, and Zhou Fu's whole person had been knocked to the ground by a huge thrust.
Tang Cheng, who was walking in front of Zhou Fu, was not much better, although they all wore steel helmets, but even so, their heads hit the wall and they were still stiff. "Damn, fortunately, we escaped quickly, or we would have all been confessed to the edge of the iron shell." Zhou Fu, who struggled to get up from the ground, spit out the soil in his mouth and scolded hatefully. "Boom" "Boom" As soon as Zhou Fu's words fell, there was another earth-shattering continuous explosion outside the alley, needless to say that it was a Japanese fighter plane releasing bombs.
With the deafening sound of the explosion of flames soaring into the sky, the people of the second company who were hiding in the alley only felt that the mountains shook for a while, and then a large strong flash of light appeared in front of them in an instant, and everyone's faces felt the violent impact and scorching air currents coming from their faces. "Ahh
The fire immediately filled the entire section of the main street, and they could hear the screams of the ghosts crying wolves in the alleys, and as the pillars of smoke rose, huge explosions continued one after another, and the flames were extremely bright, the scorching air currents, iron fragments and stone tiles flew all over the sky like hailstones, and the flames and smoke on the main street were as high as five meters high, if it was at night, it was estimated that the fire could be seen within a radius of hundreds of meters on the main street.
The two tanks of the national army more than 20 meters away were completely engulfed in flames at this time, and the seemingly formidable armor of the tanks was immediately torn apart like tissue paper, and the pierced hull made a strange hissing sound, and then twisted and deformed. After the aerial bomb body of the tank penetrated the hull, thousands of scorching fragments were produced, and they sprayed wantonly inside the tank, instantly burning the members of the car to pieces, and the black-red flames violently diffused from the gap between the roof window and the hull, and with the sound of explosion, the hull of the national tank burned violently like a lit torch.
The two tanks were killed by aerial bombs dropped by Japanese fighters before they even had time to participate in the battle, and then the ammunition carried inside the tanks exploded, and the fragments of the body of the vehicles turned the entire section of the main street into a slaughterhouse, and most of the soldiers of the Nationalist army who were cheering for them just now fell in a pool of blood. The Japanese fighters in the circle and control pulled back and shook their wings, as if in defiance of the burning Nationalist tanks, and then the Japanese fighters turned around and flew off into the distance.
Tang Cheng honestly hid in the corner of the wall according to Liu Goat's request, but Zhou Fu was idle, and when he was looking at the side of the main street at the head of the wall, he was directly knocked down from the wall by the shock wave of the subsequent explosion. If it weren't for the people around him who were quick to support him, maybe Zhou Fu would have become a seriously injured man, the courtyard wall behind Tang Cheng that was shaken by the violent explosion couldn't stop falling down, and when the two tanks exploded, there were even iron pieces with sparks that flew into the alley like bullets, but fortunately, there were no casualties to the second company.
Liu Goat took the second company and these people to hide in the alley for about half an hour, until the sound of trucks sounded on the main street, and Liu Goat took Tang Cheng and them out of the alley. The tragic situation on the main street made the people of the second company stand at the entrance of the alley, and the national army tanks that were still showing off their might a few minutes ago have become broken toys, and the turret of one of the tanks even broke away from the body of the vehicle after the explosion and flew under a tree more than ten meters away, and there were more than 20 corpses emitting green smoke on the main street.
"See, we can't fully believe anything, we are infantry, and the infantry should believe in the guns in their hands, and everything else is." Zhou Fu's schadenfreude attracted a roll of Liu Goat's eyes, but the soldiers in the city defending the city that the second company saw when it withdrew yesterday have now changed, standing with the ragged second company, and the soldiers of the teaching team defending the city also have a defeated face. Tang Cheng even saw a soldier of the teaching team who was sitting under the city wall muttering to himself, looking at the expression on that guy's face, he was obviously stunned by the explosion just now.
