Chapter 100: Night Battle (3)

Under the cold light of the flares, a large area of fire rose in front of the position of Tangcheng, and against the backdrop of the night, the fire that rose with the explosion was very dazzling, and under the cover of the firelight, it was the screams and panic of the Japanese attacking soldiers. Zhou Yuan's sudden force surprised Tang Cheng, the previous bit of mustard against the 173rd Division had completely dissipated, and at the moment of the great enemy, personal grievances should indeed be put aside first.

"Boom", "boom", "boom", "boom" made Tang Cheng's addictive artillery fire gradually thinned out, and Tang Cheng couldn't help shouting, "Don't stop, keep bombing, a few more rounds of artillery fire, the Japanese army should retreat." Tang Cheng's shouts were inconspicuous like the moaning of mosquitoes in the deafening artillery fire, and naturally they would not be heard by the artillerymen of the 173rd Division. Tang Cheng looked forward to the artillery fire of the 173rd Division to continue to bombard the Japanese attacking troops, but unfortunately he was not Zhou Yuan, and he could not command the artillery of the 173rd Division.

"It's really better to rely on others than on yourself" Tang Cheng's mind suddenly flashed the words that Liu Shanyang had said to himself, pinning his hopes on others, commanding his own situation to make his situation worse, rather than forcing himself into an embarrassing situation, it was better to rely on his own efforts to change the situation from the beginning. "All cheered up and ready to fight, the Japanese army is coming up soon." Under the light of the fire, the earthy yellow figure engulfed in smoke reappeared, and Tang Cheng shouted loudly in the position to cheer up his soldiers.

This is not the first time that they have exchanged fire with the Japanese army, most of the soldiers who are still alive on the position have become numb, Liu Goat has already shot the commander of the 2nd Company in public on the position yesterday, and the people who are still alive are not people who think their lives are long, although they know that they may not be spared this time. "Boom" Tang Cheng led the people to arrange the thunder was once again triggered by the attacking Japanese soldiers, Tang Cheng shouted after the explosion rang out, and the long-silent position encountered the sound of gunfire, although the gunfire was still very sparse.

The Japanese army's night attack was not only a target here in Tangcheng, but also the target of Liu Goat, who also belonged to the position of the garrison regiment, and the cunning Japanese army had already seen the disadvantage of the garrison regiment's weak strength and firepower from the two daytime battles. The Japanese army's shelling of the position of the 173rd Division during the day was obviously just a trick, and they had been using small forces to consume the strength of Liu Goat's side, and the anger accumulated during the day was released by the Japanese army at night.

The Japanese troops attacking at night uncharacteristically did not shout or other shouts, except for the orders of the leading officers and Cao Chang, the Japanese attack sequence was only the sound of gunfire after pulling the bolt and pulling the trigger. The light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army moving forward spat tongues of fire at the position of the garrison regiment, and the dense barrage hit the entire column of smoke on the position of the garrison regiment.

"Boom" "Boom" The Japanese grenadiers and mortars also joined the attack, and the shrapnel that flew with the explosion made the already sparse gunfire on the Tangcheng side almost disappear. "No, I can't lift my head at all, I can't fire." The veteran who was squatting next to Tang Cheng took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and even struck a few matches but failed to light the cigarette. Looking at the old soldier's shaking hands, Tang Cheng sighed and took the matches to help him light the cigarette, or his box of matches might have to be cleaned up.

"I have an old wound on my hand, so I can take a sip of wine and get it right away." Seeing that Tang Cheng had been staring at his hand, the veteran smiled and showed Tang Cheng the scar on the back of his hand. The purple-black scar was like a centipede entrenched on the back of the veteran's hand, such a scar was a knife wound at a glance, Tang Cheng gasped, he could still fight as a soldier after such an injury, this person's luck was not ordinarily good.

"Boom" A mortar shell landed in the trench, blasting the two soldiers who were sitting together into pieces, and with the explosion flew not only shrapnel and dirt, but also torn flesh and bone residue from the corpses. Reaching out to dust off the minced meat splashed on his face without care, the veteran took a few sips, and finally threw the burned cigarette butt at his feet and let out a sigh, "I'm afraid we won't be able to survive tonight, look at the posture of the little devil, if we don't collapse our position, we don't plan to give up, little company commander, we have to plan early." ”

"Boom" With an explosion, a shout sounded from the position, "The little devil touched it." Tang Cheng didn't even know when the veteran beside him had left, he had been pondering what the veteran had meant by the old soldier's early plan. There are only 30 people left on the position who can still breathe, relying on this person to resist the attack of the Japanese army, it may be a little mysterious, but if Tang Cheng chooses to escape for his own life, he seems to be unable to do it.

"Pap" "Pap" got up and lay down in the trench Tang Cheng shot one after another, the Japanese attack no longer gave Tang Cheng time to continue to think, those treacherous mines in front of the position exploded continuously, and the Japanese offensive forward was already less than 30 meters away from Tang Cheng's position. "Ah, I'm going to die, I'm going to die." A soldier who was shooting not far from Tangcheng rolled over and fell, but listening to his angry cry, the shot that the Japanese had hit him almost did not hit the point.

The shell gun in Tang Cheng's left hand swept out a fan, knocked down the two Japanese soldiers who were about to step on the trench, and then rushed towards the crying soldiers. "Stop howling, you can't fucking die, change the magazine for me." There were no superfluous words, Tang Cheng followed the example of Liu Goat and kicked his feet, and when the guy who was shot in the shoulder stopped crying, Tang Cheng threw him the shell gun in his left hand that had emptied the magazine, as well as the spare magazines on his waist.

Although the artillery fire of the 173rd Division and the thunder set by Tang Cheng in front of the position limited the speed of the Japanese attack on a certain distance, the Japanese army still attacked without fear of death, if it were not for Tang Cheng's full force to block the left and right in the trench with his shell gun, they would have been broken by the Japanese army with only rifles.

Like the last time they met the Japanese army, Tang Cheng they continued to hide in the trenches and melee with the Japanese army this time, the attacking Japanese army did not know how many mines the defenders had laid in front of the position, and the lucky guy was able to rush to the front of the army position, but the number of this part of the Japanese army was definitely not much, and the vast majority of them only wandered in front of the minefield. It is precisely in this way that when the machine guns behind the Japanese flank could not suppress Tangcheng because of the terrain, Tangcheng could withstand the attack of the Japanese army.

"Boom" "Boom" The artillery fire of the Japanese army and the artillery fire of the 173rd Division seemed to be playing a relay race, and when Tangcheng felt that it could no longer be supported, the Japanese army once again smashed artillery fire into Tangcheng's position. "Ah" The soldier who was loading the bullet for Tang Cheng screamed and was knocked out by Qi Lang, and Tang Cheng in front of him was not having a good time, and was also knocked over in the trench by the exploding Qi Lang. Tang Cheng, who turned over and got up from the floating soil, stared left and right, Tang Cheng was still in a state of vertigo at this time, and it was just his conditioned reflex to get up immediately after falling down, in fact, he didn't know what he was doing now.

The fire balls released from the position reflected the night sky, and the gunfire bursting out from the defenders' positions was like a little starlight in the night sky, but those starlights were constantly decreasing, and in the face of the Japanese army's crazy attack, the number of garrison regiments was drastically decreasing. The Japanese second lieutenant officer brandishing a long knife strode into the Tangcheng position, and behind him were a dozen Japanese soldiers shouting loudly, their bayonets flashing in the light of the fire.

Tang Cheng had a Mauser rifle and a shell gun at hand, and when the soldier who reloaded him was knocked out by Qi Lang, he also took Tang Cheng's other shell gun and the last 3 magazines. The soldiers of the garrison regiment who wanted to intercept these Japanese soldiers in the trenches were shot one after another and fell to the ground, and by the time Tang Cheng regained consciousness, the Japanese second lieutenant wielding a command knife was only a few meters away from him.

"Nani?" The German-style steel helmet on Tang Cheng's head was very conspicuous under the cover of the firelight, and a German-style steel helmet that only the descendants of the national army had appeared on this position full of cloth soft military hats, which had to surprise the Japanese second lieutenant. Tang Cheng's face was already covered with stains, and his true age was not easy to distinguish, but he not only wore a German-style steel helmet on his head, but also carried a shell gun in his hand that only officers were qualified to wear.

Facing the approaching Japanese troops attacking the position, Tang Cheng, who was carrying a shell gun, was still sitting in the trench, and his reaction made the Japanese second lieutenant mistakenly think that the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand was out of bullets. However, for the sake of safety, the Japanese second lieutenant turned sideways and let the two men behind him pass and let them test Tangcheng with their bayonets first. Tang Cheng, who had been sitting still, suddenly leveled the shell gun in his hand, and the tongue of fire spit out from the muzzle of the gun flew in the trench and pounced into the bodies of those Japanese soldiers.

"Poof", "poof", "poof" The blood mist splattered from the human body made the burnt air have a sweet taste, and the section of the trench that Tang Cheng shot with the shell gun in his hand had been dyed red with blood, and even the bottom of the trench had accumulated a large puddle of blood. "Is there anything alive? Anyone who can breathe comes to me. The rickety Tang Cheng got up and walked in the puddle of blood with his rifle, shouting loudly in the position, and using the bayonet on the rifle to mend the wounded Japanese soldiers who were not dead.
