Deserter from War

Chapter 442: Unexpected sunset

Views:

When the offensive line passed a distance of 300 meters, the pressure on both the attacking and defending sides increased dramatically!

For the puppet army, casualties increased significantly, and psychological pressure caused uneven breathing.

For the 9th Company, the enemy's rifles began to participate in the shooting. Although they had positions and bunkers as support, the density of bullets increased significantly. The firing frequency of the three machine guns could no longer be smooth, and casualties began to occur.

Hu Yi has begun to frequently stop firing his machine gun and lower his posture, causing bursts of jumping ground near the machine gun position.

Someone behind him called out, "Captain, do you want to slow down a bit? Let the enemy get closer! We'll have a problem with ammunition if we keep going like this!"

"No!" Hu Yi said firmly. The blood-colored bandage had already turned into dirt. He loaded a new machine gun magazine and got into position again. The Czech light machine gun began to shake violently again.

There was a faint muzzle flame in the sight of the machine gun, causing the target image in the narrow eyes to tremble again and again. The target changed again and again, and moved slightly sideways again and again. He fired in bursts again and again. His shoulders were numb, but he was more focused. He could not hear the bullet casings falling, and could not feel his heartbeat slowing down, just like the year I had not seen for a long time.

At this time, there are no more ideas, no more concerns, and no more time. The only thing left to remember is the original intention of fighting, which is to pull out all the enemy's teeth, to make the enemy collapse in the next moment, to make the enemy shrink and dare not move forward, even if all the machine gun bullets are used up, even if the machine gun in your hand has begun to overheat.

The machine gun was still a venomous snake in his hands, not a tired and desperate venomous snake, but a more rampant one that was pushing the limits of its will.

Shua—

A whistle that became clearer and clearer.

boom-

The explosion suddenly lifted up the cracked earth under the sun, raising a cloud of dust and falling sand like rain.

Next to the explosion point filled with smoke and dust, Luo Fugui's head was buzzing and shaking from the shock. He sat up again with one ear shaking and a head full of dirt, and shouted "Xiao Pao". Unfortunately, he himself didn't hear what he was shouting.

"Fuck his grandma! Move!"

Unfortunately, Luo Fugui couldn't hear the nonsense he was shouting, and the surroundings were still covered with gray and falling dust.

In another foxhole not far away, Xiao Hongying fiercely kicked the big dog off the shooting position, and his dirty little face was full of anger: "Why are there still Japs!"

"How the hell should I know! I didn't say I'm better than you!"

Another whistling sound came from the sky, and then the second grenade exploded on the battlefield. Even the ponytail was shaken, and it turned into dust again, and fell with crackling sounds, as if the gunshots were more intense.

After coughing enough from choking, she had to pick up Cao Changjing again and quickly climb up to the observation position with her little butt sticking out.

In the telescope lens, there was still that green. The Type 99 light machine gun had long been silent. There was a corpse that could not be seen clearly in the grass. A pair of big eyes searched anxiously, but there was no clue.

The third grenade whistled again, and smoke suddenly rose near the machine gun position at the western end of the position. Ma Liang's machine gun immediately became silent. He Gensheng was running towards there in a panic. Ma Liang was shouting in the smoke: "Let the second platoon go in... make up a squad..."

There was still no trace of the Japanese in the camera. Xiao Hongying was so angry that she put down the sergeant's mirror and picked up her Type 44 carbine. She frowned, tilted her ponytail, pointed the crosshairs at the green area, searched again and again, aimed again and again, and finally pointed to a suspicious position. She pulled the trigger and fired a shot. The lying little body trembled violently as the bullet was fired.

Afterwards, she did not pull the bolt again. Instead, she put her hands together, lowered her head, and lay flat on the spot, muttering: "I am Hongying... my aunt's bullets have eyes... my sister TOEFL mud bomb... the paralytic Laojun riding a donkey order..."

Tang Dagou, who wanted to climb back to the shooting position, almost slipped down again after hearing this: "Did you find it?"

There was no answer, but a fourth grenade was heard whistling through the air.

Boom! The pious ponytail swung again, and the gray hair looked like a bunch of messy grass.

"Give me your telescope."

Xiao Hongying, who was pulling the bolt of the gun, turned back and asked, "Li Xiang?"

Li Xiang held up the telescope and never let it go. He kept his eyes on bullets that flew by from time to time, but he didn't let go. Tang Dagou was speechless. This lunatic really had unrivaled self-control. Xiao Hongying raised her finger and pointed at the direction: "After Fox and Mule knocked out the enemy's machine gun, those enemy soldiers came from there. I thought we could kill them all! Dagou is a waste!"

Li Xiang said nothing, but focused quietly on the camera. He no longer observed the green, but instead looked horizontally for all the low places and reverse slopes nearby. Finally, his camera locked onto the small green undulations not far from the original position. Behind the short grass there, a puppet soldier in a wide-brimmed hat was sticking his head out in a wretched manner, and then quickly retracted it.

Another grenade whistled through the air.

The telescope was then put down: "The devil is wearing a puppet soldier's hat. He is behind the earthen ridge on the left."

"What the hell..." The big dog snatched the telescope from Li Xiang's hand and stared at the location Li Xiang described with his eyes wide open.

"Help me watch the landing point." Li Xiang slid back into the pit, picked up his grenade launcher and climbed up again, holding the hoe, pointing the grenade launcher to the sky, a grenade entered the chamber, and he began to fine-tune the angle.

The company commander said that as long as they pulled out the enemy's teeth, they would only have one attack left before dark.

For this reason, the 9th Company did not save ammunition at all in the enemy's fifth attack and consumed it desperately. The rifle ammunition of the first row of soldiers was almost all used up, the ammunition of the two machine guns was used up, and even the ammunition seized in the hasty cleanup of the battlefield was almost gone. Luo Fugui's spare barrel was replaced twice at Hu Yi's place, otherwise the machine gun of the second row would have been destroyed by Hu Yi. Only the machine gun operated by Luo Fugui still had more than 200 rounds of bullets, thanks to this bear's frequent position changes.

The firepower poured down, and the effect was seen. The enemy finally attacked only 200 meters away. Almost no one dared to take over the machine gun. The machine guns could not be fired for long, and the machine gunners were either dead or injured. I don’t know how many people were replaced. The more people were replaced, the less threat they posed to the Eighth Route Army. On the contrary, the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army kept firing, as if they had endless ammunition. As the distance got closer, they began to mow the ground. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army actually had a grenade launcher, which not only knocked away the surviving grenade launcher of the devil, but also began to use grenades to hit the puppet army machine guns again and again.

Just before the 9th Company's machine guns ran out of ammunition, the puppet army collapsed first. They could no longer attack, fight, or die, no matter how the officers at all levels waved their pistols.

The soldiers of the 9th Company never thought that they would be able to sit quietly in the foxhole, holding their rifles and watching the sunset.

The company commander said that the enemy would launch a final attack before sunset. The soldiers believed it and thought that maybe this time they could see what the Japanese cavalry looked like. They wanted to see them, especially the Japanese horses, but unfortunately the Japanese might not be willing to bring them out.

The biggest advantage of positional warfare is that there are not many seriously injured soldiers. They are either scratched or shot in the head. They die very quickly and don't even have time to close their eyes. The company commander said that this is a blessing. The soldiers agreed with him, especially the useless man who was coughing up blood. It was difficult for him to make a sound now. He was hit in the back by the shrapnel of the grenade explosion.

Xu Xiao put his ear close to the waste's mouth and listened carefully. Luo Fugui, who was sitting crookedly on the other side, couldn't help but ask: "What is he mumbling about?"

"Unlucky machine gun position."

"What?"

Xu Xiao sat up: "He said so." Then he lowered his head to listen, and soon raised his head to face Xiong: "Squad leader, he asked us to lead him to break out?"

"Your grandma's idiot, you still don't forget to blackmail me at this time?" Xiong smacked his mouth and thought seriously for a while: "Forget it, I'll take care of you this time. As long as you can hold out until dark, I'll carry you and run."

The waste smiled, and this smile exhausted his last bit of strength, and there was no sound anymore.

A warning suddenly came from the observation post: "Devils!"

There was a loud noise of people looking out of their heads, and everyone looked up to see what was happening.

In the southeast direction, more than a hundred war horses were galloping, like a floating cloud in the distance, but they were not heading towards the position, but heading west, then slowly turning, forming a circular route with the 9th Company position as the center to reach the due west direction. In the sunset, the horses stopped their chaotic galloping and lined up horizontally towards the 9th Company position.

What is coming has finally come!

"Fuck your mother!" No one expected that this low voice actually came from the company commander Hu Yi who had just stood up. Everyone thought they had heard it wrong. Tang Dagou even had to spread his hands to show his innocence to the people around him.

Hu Yi was completely unaware of the incongruity around him. His usually dark eyebrows and eyes under the curled brim of his hat were facing the setting sun, and they were unusually clear. His dark eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

"Prepare for battle! Pay attention to the south, the puppet army will attack first. Mule, go to Chenchong's position now, along with Wang Xiaosan. Once the Japanese cavalry starts charging, no one is allowed to leave the bunker, and aim at the horses, not the people!"

The order was simple and clear. He then took the telescope handed to him by Ma Liang and looked south first. The puppet soldiers more than a mile away still did not make any movement. So Hu Yi pointed the telescope to the west, facing the dazzling setting sun. In the lens, a row of tall Japanese cavalrymen on big horses appeared black against the light background, with their horses' hooves stamping and swaying in place.

The soldiers subconsciously clenched their guns. Finally, they saw the Japanese cavalry. As expected... they were very arrogant! It felt like... the Japanese could appear on this battlefield at any time.

However, the Japanese cavalry who were staying in the sunset suddenly turned their horses around, slowly accelerated southward, and galloped again, running farther and farther, leaving only a cloud of dust, disappearing into the southwest sky, leaving the entire Ninth Company stunned and unable to understand.
