Chapter 65: Two Days and One Night (13)

The place where they lay down in Tangcheng was behind a broken wall, due to the angle problem, the Japanese grenadiers could not explode here, and Liu Goat's machine gun became a nightmare for the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, and the Japanese soldiers who tried to cross the street in vain would be covered by its fire net. After a few rounds of shooting, Liu Goat and his light machine gun became the key target of the opposite Japan, but neither the grenade nor the counter-fire could hurt Liu Goat, so Liu Goat, who was supposed to be a supporting role in the battle, became the leader of suppressing the Japanese army on the opposite side.

Under the effect of the wind, the white smoke mixed with the gray-black gunpowder smoke that once filled the entire battlefield gradually gathered near the city gate, causing the sight of the Japanese troops on the main city gate to become worse and worse with the passage of time. The soldiers of the national army wearing German-style steel helmets also immediately disappeared into the fog, and slowly sneaked in the direction of the main city gate. There were gunshots and explosions everywhere in the city gate network, which was the melee between the national army and the Japanese army entering the city, and the bullets fired from the chambers of both sides dragged obvious ballistics, and the gunfire was very conspicuous in the night.

The fierce explosion of "boom" instantly burst into flames, and Relang dispersed the smoke within more than ten meters around the main city gate, and when he could barely identify the outline of the martyr, Tang Cheng, who was lying on the wall, trembled in his heart. Because in his sight, several figures wearing German-style steel helmets were rushing towards the Japanese soldiers on the city gate regardless of the skyrocketing fire, Tang Cheng knew that those must be death squads, and they must have grenades tied to their bodies with their bare hands.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The fire on the main city gate attracted almost everyone's eyes, and the flames that surged up instantly on the city gate spread outward with extremely high heat and rolled the air current, although the gunpowder smoke that shrouded the city gate was not completely dispersed, but Tang Cheng had already seen more than a dozen figures carrying large knives pounce on the city gate. A tsunami of cheers followed, and the main gate was recaptured after a day's loss, and the Japanese troops on the gate had been driven down.

"Block the city gate" The blackened soldiers cheered and stuffed sandbags used as cover into the city gate hole, and of course, the masonry and rubble were indispensable, and the already exhausted soldiers re-erupted into a strong fighting spirit under the stimulus of the loss of the main city gate. Closing the door and beating the dog, this is an old Chinese saying, the national army may not be able to take advantage of the Japanese army head-on, but it is very good at beating the water dogs.

After the main city gate was lost and recovered, the 2nd Teaching Regiment, the 87th Division Yi Anhua Brigade and the Military Police Teaching Regiment plus some soldiers of the 156th Division surrounded the area where the Japanese were hiding, and then advanced inward little by little, encroaching on the space and field of the Japanese army house by house. The second company, which had only three people left, naturally would not appear in the cheering procession, and at this time, Tang Cheng was carrying nine catties through the corpses of the Japanese army like a marmot, and they needed ammunition and grenades.

I don't know if it was Tang Cheng's luck or Liu Goat's luck, they used light machine guns to block the Japanese army on the opposite side of the two light machine guns, these dozen Japanese soldiers could have used those two light machine guns to break through, but unfortunately their bullets were not enough. Two light machine guns and a dozen 38 rifles only had less than 100 rounds left, so the Japanese made a stupid decision to stop using light machine guns, save bullets and use rifles to shoot at the opposing Nationalists.

Liu Goat brought food to the people of the 156th Division, and also used machine guns to help them suppress the Japanese troops on the opposite side, so one of the two light machine guns captured was taken away by Liu Goat. The second company with only three people left had two light machine guns, and Liu Goat had never been so generous, so when he was close to the guys of the 156th Division, Tang Cheng and Jiujin shouldered the heavy responsibility of checking the ammunition from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, because the Japanese light machine guns and 38 rifles could be used universally.

Today is a special day, Tang Cheng has learned a lot of old Chinese sayings in this day, and it is also an old Chinese saying. The death of Yi Anhua, the commander of the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division, should be the highest-ranking officer among the officers killed tonight, Yi Anhua was killed by a Japanese machine gun, and when the body was carried down, the soldiers of the 87th Division cried like tears, and even Xie Chengrui, who had been sick by Liu Goat, was also sad.

Just when everyone was cheering for the recapture of the main city gate and mourning for Yi Anhua's death, another strong attack by the Japanese army suddenly broke out. At this time, the operation of the national army to block the city gate was halfway through, and the city wall that collapsed under the Japanese artillery fire had not yet been blocked as necessary, and the Japanese army that attacked strongly attacked only once attacked their troops under the gap in the collapsed city wall, and in the face of the Japanese light and heavy machine gun hits, the defenders on the city wall looked like they could not withstand it.

"Machine guns, all the machine guns are here." Chang Tianbao, who had saved Liu Goat's life, was still shouting on the city wall, and the big knife in his hand was chopped down from time to time, forcing the Japanese troops who wanted to attack the gap in the city wall to retreat one by one. "Boom" "Boom" A few explosions, the grenade thrown by the Japanese army exploded at the feet of Chang Tianbao, a large group of flames rose, this fierce man finally fell, in the flying masonry, Chang Tianbao's body was torn to pieces by the shrapnel mixed with the masonry.

"Follow me" Liu Goat handed over a light machine gun to Jiujin to hold, and he carried another one to the city gate, obviously a little panicked Jiujin followed Liu Goat closely, and running behind the most Lu was Tang Cheng who was carrying a pack of bullets, and he also carried a 38 rifle on his shoulder. Not long after the "boom" ran out, a shell landed on a house not far away, and the explosion shook Tang Cheng's ears with tinnitus, and the gas formed by the explosion flew with bricks, stones, and mud debris. Tang Cheng subconsciously lowered his head and bent over, but he still couldn't stand on his feet under this strong impact, squatting in the corner of the wall and waiting for the qi to subside, Tang Cheng continued to run towards the city gate, but Liu Goat and Jiujin had already disappeared.

One of the most fatal mistakes that recruits are most likely to make when the enemy is shelling is to take refuge above the ground not far from the point of impact, knowing that continuous shelling will form a flake killing area, and those who are exposed may even be killed by shrapnel from shells that fall dozens of meters away. Although this was very dangerous, Tang Cheng was still running forward with his head down, almost all the bullets were in the bag on his body, if he didn't appear, the light machine gun in Liu Goat's and Jiujin's hands would only be an ornament.

Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble...... After the initial adjustments, the Japanese artillery fire began to fall on the city, and in a short time a blazing storm of flames was formed, and under the dual effect of the blast wave and shrapnel, the bricks that had been loosened on the city wall were broken and fell. After the explosion of the cannonball, Tang Cheng's head was dizzy, his eyes were full of tears from the thick smoke of gunpowder, and the violent anger made him sway left and right, and Tang Cheng, who was clenching his teeth, rushed to the city wall with all his might.

In just a few seconds when his back was against the city wall, Tang Cheng suddenly felt that the dizziness in his head had become slightly easier, and the strong feeling of vomiting and the fatigue of his limbs had all been alleviated. As his mind cleared, he suddenly realized that his actions just now were simply suicidal, so much so that he himself felt incomprehensible. In Xie Bo's notes, he specifically mentioned what to do when he was bombarded by the enemy on the battlefield, and it was obviously suicide like he did just now, especially when he hid in a corner.

Running up the steps to the city wall, Tang Cheng's scalp was tingling with the sight in front of him, the city wall was full of broken bricks and corpses, and Tang Cheng had to be careful with the craters under his feet, otherwise his feet would be sprained by these shallow pits. "You fucking go faster, I'll be waiting for you." Tang Cheng's appearance made Liu Goat shout loudly, and threw the bag containing bullets to Liu Goat, Tang Cheng looked out of the city in a daze, and the mud that splashed down from time to time continued to fly in front of him like birds, and the bursts of gunpowder smoke that floated by were like clouds hidden in the night, all of which made Tang Cheng temporarily confused.

"Da Da" Liu Goat, who had enough bullets, poured bullets on the Japanese troops outside the city to his heart's content, and the Japanese light machine gun needed the cooperation of two people to maintain the coherence of firepower, so when Tang Cheng was in a daze, Jiujin became Liu Goat's deputy shooter, specializing in adding bullets to the magazine. In order to resist a new round of attacks by the Japanese troops outside the city, Xie Chengrui, who then rushed to the city wall, dispatched more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns to shoot outside the city.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of gunfire and explosions finally subsided, and although Tang Cheng's hearing was temporarily reduced by the concussion of the explosion, his vision was still normal. "Fire, don't let them go back." More than a dozen kerosene bottles were vigorously thrown out by the soldiers on the city wall, burning a large area of flames under the city wall, and the Japanese troops hidden in the firelight suddenly had nothing to hide. Like the other soldiers who used rifles, Tang Cheng crouched on the city wall with his rifle in his hand, and Tang Cheng focused on one of the Japanese soldiers.

The rifle crosshair caught the steel helmet of the Japanese soldier, Tang Cheng pulled the trigger steadily, the gun rang out, and the Japanese soldier who was shot by Tang Cheng fell to the ground with his arms wide open. Collecting the gun, retracting the bullet, resetting, and aiming, Tang Cheng's coherent action only took three to five seconds, and Tang Cheng's target this time was a Japanese machine gunner lying in a pile of corpses. The tongue of fire was flashing in the muzzle of the light machine gun, and it was the flame of the gun that Tang Cheng had targeted the Japanese machine gunner, and it was far easier to find a gun flame in the night than to look for an earthy yellow military uniform.

"Pop" Tang Cheng's shoulder shook slightly, and the bullet was already luxuriously coarse, this time Tang Cheng couldn't judge whether the bullet hit from the opponent's movements. So he pulled the bolt with his right hand to withdraw the cartridge case, and then still aimed at the Japanese machine gunner, and the bullet case with green smoke silently drew an arc in the air and landed beside Tang Cheng, and the target covered by the crosshair of Tang Cheng's rifle remained motionless.
