Chapter Ninety-Two: Facing the Assault
For this assault, Liu Shanyang thought of everything he could think of, but after all, he was only a captain and company commander, and he took over the position of company commander for only half a month, and Tang Cheng was a halfway monk, if it weren't for Xie Bo's diary to support him, Tang Cheng might be no different from other recruits. Flower traps, short guns, broadswords, grenades, Liu Goat's selection of people is only equipped with these four weapons, but in close combat they are indeed better than rifles, although most of Liu Goat's picks only have a big knife, but it is enough to deal with the few Japanese soldiers who survived the explosion.
The second round of grenades that Liu Goat ordered to throw was mainly to deal with the Japanese machine guns and grenadiers, but unfortunately there were explosions everywhere, and his voice was really difficult to convey to all the soldiers who threw grenades, so Liu Goat's most fearful thing was discovered, just when Liu Goat began to charge with those soldiers who approached, the machine gun that should have been drowned in the explosion finally fired.
Dark night is the time when the Nationalist troops will often attack, under the cover of the night, the soldiers shout and go into the attack, from the dark night it looks as if there are countless enemies rushing towards them, and the Japanese soldiers will be the first to be defeated psychologically. At a very close distance, the Japanese mortars and grenadiers have long been unable to exert their power, and the machine-gun fire has been greatly weakened by the grenade explosion, all of which will become an advantage for Liu Goat's side.
The explosion of the two-wheeled grenade did not pose any threat to the Japanese machine gunners at all, but the smoke from the explosion greatly obstructed the Japanese machine gunners' vision, making their already panicked psychology even more intense. With all the previous foreshadowing, the soldiers of the national army who followed Liu Goat to sneak up broke out their strongest combat power, and directly thought that the few flower traps and short guns were used as the main firepower to rush into the area controlled by the Japanese army for a melee.
Tang Cheng, who was arranged behind by Liu Goat, was naturally not far behind, and at the same time that the Japanese machine gun opened fire to intercept Liu Goat, Tang Cheng mixed in more than 20 national soldiers and detoured back to Jiujin to launch a strong attack on the Japanese position opposite. Before they could break out of the position, Tang Cheng and they were blocked in the ruins by a few strings of bullets fired by the Japanese army, and the chirping sound of the bullets flying through the air still made Tang Cheng and them feel furious. Although he was no longer so blindly subordinate to his intuition, Tang Cheng leaned against the back of the masonry pile with rapid breath and was on guard.
When he felt that the threat was far away, Tang Cheng cautiously and quickly turned to the left and looked over, the Japanese light machine gun had already adjusted the direction of fire, and the bullets that left the muzzle flew in the night with orange light, threatening every national soldier who entered the battle. "Damn little devil" Tang Cheng retracted his head while cursing viciously in his heart at the machine gunner of the Japanese army opposite, several bullets suddenly swished from less than 20 centimeters away from Tang Cheng's cheek, even the slightly frozen facial skin faintly felt their stirring airflow, and there was an extremely strong consciousness in his mind, he couldn't rush out of the air at this time, and if he came out, he would be shot into a sieve by the bullets from the Japanese army!
Turning his head to look to the right, Tang Cheng saw that there were a few more soldiers of the national army who were crossing the ruins and coming this way, there was no shortage of veterans with battlefield experience among these guys, and his current ability was not enough to accurately choose the timing in the battle, thinking of this, Tang Cheng quietly moved his body back. Tang Cheng wasn't afraid, he just wanted to give up the position in front and give it to the experienced veterans, Tang Cheng believed that some of these veterans around him would definitely stand up and organize this charge.
Sure enough, a veteran with a beard on his face took over Tang Cheng's vacated position and carefully looked at the opposite side, while Liu Goat and the others had already rushed into the flank of the Japanese army and had a scuffle, the bearded man had already rushed out of the city with a gun, followed by more than a dozen soldiers of the national army, but Tang Cheng was not among them. Of course, Tang Cheng is not a coward, he just doesn't know what these guys say, and the leader of the beard didn't even tell everyone about the specific arrangement and directly killed Lu Cheng, and the others followed, which made Tang Cheng a little unacceptable, this is simply the rhythm of going up to die.
In the flash of the gunfire, the Japanese machine gun really turned its muzzle and fired at this side, and the bearded man who rushed to the front bore the brunt of the target of the Japanese machine gunners, and the dense rain of bullets flew up the volley of the beard, and the blood mist splattered from the bullet hole turned several soldiers behind the beard into bloody men. Tang Cheng, who was half-kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and put the butt of the rifle on his shoulder, then took a deep breath and held the gun so that it was level with his shoulder, and the crosshair was set on the flickering gun flame in the distance, holding his breath and concentrating, pulling the trigger, and after a sixth of a second, the other party's flickering gun flame disappeared into the night.
The left hand holds the gun down, the butt is still against the chest and shoulder, the right hand quickly pulls the bolt to complete the process of unloading and resetting, and the left hand holds the gun to the gun, and once again aims at the position of the opponent's gun flame in the memory and pulls the trigger. Can't let the opponent's machine gun fire, otherwise those soldiers of the national army who rushed forward will be very dangerous, with this feeling, Tang Cheng, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was not disturbed by the bullet of his companion, and still concentrated on aiming and shooting, the rifle in his hand would shoot a bullet every two seconds, and the faint white smoke and dust dispersed with the bullet being discharged.
Two soldiers were hit in a row, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side became alert, but it was not easy to find the enemy shooter on the extremely complicated battlefield. After firing the five rounds in the chamber, Tang Cheng, who had replaced the bullet bridge, finally moved forward a few meters diagonally, used the corpse on the ground to cover part of his body, and completed the necessary process of re-firing the Mauser rifle in a coherent posture. Tang Cheng's goal was still the position of the Japanese machine gun in his memory, and no matter what, he couldn't let the Japanese machine gun fire again.
The shells with residual heat tumbled longway and fell to the ground, making a pleasant clanging sound as they fell to the rubble-strewn ground. As an ordinary person who accidentally entered the national army, he could rely on a rifle to block the opponent's light machine gun at night, Tang Cheng half an hour ago would not have dared to imagine it in any way, but the battlefield is like this, in order to continue to live, everyone on the battlefield has burst out with all their enthusiasm and efforts, Tang Cheng is one of them.
On the battlefield filled with all kinds of gunshots, explosions and shouts, Tang Cheng lay quietly behind the corpses of two Japanese soldiers, his head tilted to his right shoulder, and his hands firmly grasped the Mauser 98K with a tawny handguard, the lower edge of the front sight was level with the target's shoulder. When his chest began to feel suffocated, there was no distraction in his mind, and all his attention was focused on the rifle in his hand, and the index finger of his right hand pulled the trigger almost instinctively. "Smack!" The crisp sound of gunfire coming from the chamber of the gun made Tang Cheng's right eardrum glow slightly, and the recoil of the rifle caused the muzzle to naturally rise slightly, but it did not prevent Tang Cheng from observing his results.
"Rush up and kill all the little devils, kill them." This somewhat familiar voice attracted Tang Cheng's attention, and he turned slightly so that he could look back. I saw Jiu Jin Zheng standing not far from him, pulling his throat to "confront" the dense gunfire, although he had tried his best, this voice still sounded a little hoarse and deep, and the "penetration" on the battlefield was not ideal. Although Tang Cheng felt that Jiujin's shouting was still very jerky and awkward, it didn't seem to prevent Jiujin from bursting out with his enthusiasm.
The shouting Nationalist soldiers rushed out of their respective bunkers and rushed to the opposite Japanese army, and after Liu Goat and them rushed into the Japanese army's right flank position, the follow-up national soldiers finally entered the Japanese army's position and started a melee. If it was a different place, Tang Cheng would never follow the troops to rush into the enemy formation, but Tang Cheng seemed to be inspired by the nine catties, threw down the Mauser rifle that had been emptied, and Tang Cheng, who got up from behind the corpse of the Japanese army, ran forward with his shell gun.
"Huh", "Huh", "Huh" Several kerosene bottles were vigorously thrown into the battle area between the two sides, and the rising flames provided convenience for Tang Cheng to distinguish between friend and foe, regardless of whether the Japanese soldiers did not wear steel helmets on their heads like the national soldiers, Tang Cheng could identify the earthy yellow military uniforms on their bodies by those fires. Moreover, the difference between the cloth bullet pouches hanging diagonally on the national soldiers and the bullet boxes hanging on the waists of the Japanese soldiers is very obvious, enough that Tang Cheng will not miss shooting bullets into his own body.
The chaotic battlefield was full of soldiers on both sides scuffling together, although the shooting in this state was more hasty, but Tang Cheng still steadily pulled the trigger again and again, even if he could not guarantee that he could kill a Japanese soldier with every shot, but Tang Cheng's heart was quietly filled with a sense of pride. With the arrival of Tangcheng and their killing, Liu Goat's side suddenly felt relaxed, and the soldiers of the Nationalist Army who had re-replaced the magazines for the flower mechanism began to pursue the remaining Japanese troops, and the power of automatic weapons began to burst out at this time.
"Take it, it's a Japanese captain's command knife, and the steel mouth is not bad." The scuffle finally ended after a few minutes, and the bloodstained Liu Goat came back with two Japanese captain's command knives, one kept for himself and the other for Tang Cheng, as for the two southern pistols, Liu Goat couldn't see it, even if it was those guys from the cheap 156th Division. For what Liu Goat gave him, Tang Cheng never refused, he couldn't move the big knife, it seemed that this Japanese command knife was not bad, Tang Cheng took out his saber and waved it in the air, Tang Cheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he felt that the weight was just right.
