Hu Zasui did not lie. Crawling in the darkness, Gao Yidao finally saw a pile of black sandbags very close at hand. He did not think about why the sandbags were placed here so abruptly. He stuck close to the sandbags and turned his head. Figures crawled over one after another.
This place is less than thirty meters away from the front wall. Eleven people stopped behind the sandbags. No one spoke. They all quietly took out a grenade, gently unscrewed the lid, hung the string in their hands, and then stood still in the darkness waiting.
Gao Yidao pulled the fuse, half-knelt up, threw a grenade towards the darkness on the left, and then leaned down. The second soldier next to him followed and threw the second grenade a little to the right of the direction Gao Yidao had thrown before. There was a rustling sound, and in just a few seconds, eleven people were like a row of people who rose and fell quickly, and threw a row of eleven landing points from left to right in a row.
They are very skilled and have a tacit understanding. There is no stumbling or dragging their feet. These ten are old hands who have followed Gao Yidao to this day and are the tip of the spear of the Second Company.
Boom boom boom…
Explosions suddenly began to sound continuously, and the buildings outside the village began to explode from left to right. Broken bricks and earth flew like rain, and the continuous explosion line was shocking and weird.
When the first explosion sounded, Gao Yidao had already clenched the rifle in his hand; when the sixth explosion sounded, Gao Yidao had already used his toes to rush out of the bunker.
In the continuous explosions and flashes, one after another, figures flashed in the strong light, following the tall figure in front without hesitation, disappearing into the darkness again and again, and being flashed again and again, until they could no longer be seen after the eleventh explosion. Eleven knife tips pounced on the dark smoke that had not yet dissipated.
Gao Yidao pressed his back against a wall, and could feel the sound of gunfire ringing all around him, rising and falling between the tiles behind the wall, clear and piercing. Eleven people were standing in a row behind a long wall, panting in the darkness.
"Start from this yard behind you."
As soon as Gao Yidao finished speaking, two grenades were thrown over the wall by the soldiers. Gurgle, and you could hear the wooden-handled grenades rolling in the yard behind the wall after they hit the ground.
Boom boom—
In the darkness, a mess of dust fell from above my head and covered my shoulders, making the air choking.
"superior."
With the help of each other, the two soldiers were quickly pushed to the top of the wall, turned over and disappeared into the darkness on the other side of the wall.
Gao Yidao stuck his head out from the corner of the wall. The village was pitch black and he could not see anything. He could only hear the sound of gunshots. Although it felt like the gunshots were very close, he could not confirm the location because of the distance between the courtyard walls and the houses.
There was a rush of hurried footsteps, and a figure appeared behind Gao Yidao: "Captain, the first platoon is coming."
"Don't stop here, go take the yard across the street first, and don't leave any of the rooms outside behind."
The row that had just come up changed direction, hurriedly ran past Gao Yidao, and rushed to the other side of the corner.
Da da da da…
A string of flames suddenly flashed in the darkness, and the whistling sound passed through the alley between the two courtyards, forming a chaotic barrage of bullets. Five or six people in a row who were crossing the alley fell on the spot, and the few people who had not yet run over stopped helplessly beside Gao Yidao.
The crooked rifle kept firing blindly at the corner of the wall, turning the alley into a hateful blockade.
Leaning out of the corner, he threw a grenade towards the flames. The explosion only stopped them for a few seconds, and then they continued to act recklessly. He threw a second grenade, which had the same effect as the first. Gao Yidao was so angry that his teeth ached, but he couldn't see the situation clearly and couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
The two soldiers who entered the yard climbed up the wall on the other side of the yard in the dark and finally found something. The Japanese machine gun was inside the wall on the opposite side. After penetrating the wall, it was shooting through a hole the size of a gap between one or two bricks. Grenades could not be thrown in at all.
"Captain, that bastard is in that room, not outside." A soldier in the yard shouted outside the wall.
Gao Yidao, who was standing in the corner, finally understood after hearing the report from the people in the yard. He drew his head back and leaned against the corner: "Damn it, that's really sinister!"
Just as he was about to give the order to climb over the wall, he suddenly heard three clanging sounds coming from the yard behind the wall, followed by the sound of bones rolling.
"Grenade"
Boom boom boom - the sound is deafening even through a wall.
The moment the shouts were heard in the yard, three explosions also sounded. After that, the two soldiers in the yard never made a sound again.
Explosions began to be heard in the yard opposite the corner of the wall, sometimes from grenades, sometimes from hand grenades, mixed with sporadic gunshots. A row of soldiers over there also started a battle with the Japanese for the yard.
If you want to occupy the yard behind you, you have to clear out the other yard next door, and then you will have a chance to raid the house where the machine gun is hidden.
"You guys follow me."
Gao Yidao left the corner, jumped up and grabbed the top of the wall, turned over and crawled into the darkness, followed by several figures behind him.
He ran across the yard, pulled out a grenade without hesitation, let it fly over the wall and land in the next room, then turned his head.
boom-
After the explosion, Gao Yidao raised his leg and jumped onto a pile of debris, then stuck half of his head out through the wall, trying to check the situation next door.
Snap—Snap—
Two gunshots, actually from behind
Gao Yidao turned around and saw the two soldiers behind him had just fallen down. A soldier who was climbing on the wall and had not yet entered the yard suddenly shouted, "Inside the house!"
In a panic, the Japanese were blinded by the lights. They wanted to clear the yard next door, but they didn't expect that this yard hadn't been cleared yet. They only paid attention to the yard, and there was no movement in the house. They naturally thought that there was no one so close, and they were subjectively ignored.
With a loud crash, a piece of the window frame broke, as if it was hit by the butt of a gun by someone in the house. Then, a rolling sound was heard in the yard, and something in the darkness was rolling towards Gao Yidao.
boom-
With a sound of grenade explosion, three people fell in the yard, including Gao Yidao who was standing on a pile of debris and fell headfirst from it.
"I x you￥…¨"
The soldier who jumped down from the wall howled and cursed heartbreakingly, and threw the two grenades on his body into the house through the dark window. After two loud bangs, he rushed into the smoky house with a bayonet.
Gao Yidao's ears were filled with a sharp whistle, and he could not hear anything clearly. He was a little confused for a moment. The pile of debris shielded him from the grenade fragments and saved his life. He fell in the darkness and groped around. The first thing he had to do was to find the gun he had dropped.
The dozen or so houses on the outermost side of Lingtou Village on the east side turned into a battlefield. The loud sounds of gunfire and explosions attracted the attention of everyone outside the village.
Yang Dezhi grinned and pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose: "Did he really hit me?"
"If he doesn't show off his abilities, he wouldn't be himself. The more audiences there are, the more excited he gets." Hao Ping replied calmly.
Wu Yan in the south stared at the direction of the battle position and kept rubbing his fingers. He was anxious. No one could help with this fighting style, so he could only watch. So he ordered loudly: "Fire another row of guns at the village, and use machine guns as well."
In Class Nine, originally only Ma Liang was on observation duty, but now there were two more spectators beside him, one was Liu Jianqiang and the other was Xiao Hongying.
It was pitch black across the open area. All I could see were the occasional flying ballistic missiles and the mixed sounds of machine guns, rifles, and hand grenades.
There were only three people who were not interested in this scene, Wu Shitou, Luo Fugui and Hu Yi, who were lying in the shallow pit at the back. These three people were really not interested, and they were definitely not pretending to be calm. Wu Shitou was not interested, and Luo Fugui's idea was even simpler: it was dark and I couldn't see anything, so what was the point of watching it
As for Hu Yi, it was because he didn't need to see, he could roughly judge the situation by listening to the sound. He concluded that the Second Company could not hold out for too long. In street fighting, hand grenades and explosives were the basis. No matter how accurate the gun was, it was useless. No matter how fierce the bayonet was, it was useless. The frequency of the Japanese hand grenades did not change, and the number of hand grenades exploded less and less. When the Second Company's grenades were used up, the battle would be over.
After firing the last bullet in the gun into the darkness, Gao Yidao retreated to the wall and sighed helplessly. Although he had prepared himself mentally before the fight, he still didn't expect street fighting to be so disgusting. It was useless to have a lot of fighting spirit. This was a battle of patience, tenacity, meanness, and insidiousness. The second company's advantages were gone here. This made Gao Yidao suddenly feel that maybe Hu Za Sui and his ninth squad were more suitable for this. In the independent regiment... maybe they were the only ones who were more immoral than the devils.
"Company commander, company commander." A figure shouted in a low voice while crouching and running along the wall, interrupting Gao Yidao's brief thoughts.
"I'm here."
"The first platoon is less than halfway gone, let the second platoon support one squad."
"… Let the first platoon withdraw, the entire company withdraw, and let the second platoon prepare to cover the rear."
"Ah?... Then... shouldn't we..." The soldier who reported this was quite unwilling.
At this time, another soldier hiding behind Gao Yidao said bitterly: "Captain, the battle has come to this point. Even if we retreat, we can't let the Japanese get away with it. It's too aggrieved."
Gao Yidao turned around and asked: "Why is it not cheap?"
The soldier blurted out: "Let's burn his mother!"
Gao Yidao was silent in the darkness. After a while, he kicked the soldier behind him and made him fall. He said angrily, "Why didn't you fart earlier?" Then he turned around and ordered the soldier who came to report, "Fuck it, we won't retreat. Tell the first row to set fire to the second row along the perimeter and along the wall. Set fire to everything that can be set on fire. Set fire as far as you can."
Gao Yidao, who suddenly realized that he was not a man who was good at considering things, said, "If a commoner's house was full of Japanese soldiers, could it still be called a commoner's house? It was called a bunker. As long as he could burn one Japanese soldier to death, it would be worth it even if he burned down the entire Lingtou Village."
Unfortunately, Lingtou Village does not have the bricks, tiles and cement of the city, but instead has closely packed rows of mud and thatched houses.
“Brother, brother, come and see Erlian… there’s a fire,” Ma Liang suddenly urged Hu Yi.
Hu Yi was stunned when he climbed out of the shallow pit. There were already flames on the east side of Lingtou Village opposite the open space. Two or three of the thatched roofs were quickly bursting into flames, raging fiercely in the dark night.
Gao Yidao, this warmongerer, is really capable of making trouble. It seems that this simple harassment battle is about to turn into a troublesome melee. Hu Yi sighed reluctantly: "Pack up and get ready to go."
