Taking advantage of the Japanese artillery's aimless preparations for artillery fire on the urban ruins, the second team was divided into three teams. Under the leadership of Li Hai, Li Yi and Hei Pi, they entered the tunnels dug in advance, and then The entrance to the tunnel was camouflaged, an observation post was left on the surface, and then they began to lurk and wait.
The first team, led by Xu Rui and Veteran, moved forward to the artillery defense position.
Because according to normal logic, in order to ensure the crossing of the river, the independent battalion must leave corresponding forces to block the attack, and the blockade time must be long enough, otherwise it will be easily defeated by the Japanese. After all, Chiaki Shigeto, an old Japanese soldier, is also a veteran. Not that easy to deceive.
The bombardment lasted about fifteen minutes and then ceased.
It's not that the little Japanese don't want to continue the bombardment, but that there are no more shells.
After all, little Japan is just an island country with very limited strategic resources. Therefore, it is impossible for the US military to dump more than 300,000 artillery shells on a small hill like the US military on the Korean battlefield more than ten years later. For a little Japanese, it takes 15 minutes. The bombardment, hitting hundreds of shells is already very impressive.
This is enough to prove that the combat effectiveness gap between the Kuomintang Army and the People's Liberation Army is very large.
The Volunteers were able to persevere in the overwhelming bombings of the U.S. Army, but few of the Kuomintang troops were able to survive the low-intensity bombardment of the Japs. After the Songhu Battle, the most elite Fifty-Nine After the finishing divisions and adjustment divisions were crippled, basically the Japanese only needed a few rounds of shelling, and the Nationalist Army would collapse across the board.
Of course, not all national troops are like this, and there are still some who can fight.
For example, the 74th Army, especially Feng Shengfa's 58th Division, fought extremely tenaciously in De'an.
During the Battle of De'an, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division was ordered to block the attack. Faced with the two-sided attack of the Japanese 106th Division that broke out crazily and the Japanese troops who came to the rescue, they stood firm for two days and two nights. A division of nearly 10,000 people almost all When the lights were on, even the division commander Feng Shengfa went to the front line with a bayonet in hand, preparing for the final desperate blow.
But in the end, the opening was blocked by the 58th Division, and the Japanese 106th Division was completely destroyed.
It can be said that without the desperate blocking of Feng Shengfa's 58th Division, there would be no glory for Zhang Lingfu's 305 Regiment in Zhanggu Mountain.
Regrettably, only Zhang Lingfu's glory is recorded in the history books, and the blocking of Feng Shengfa's 58th Division is rarely mentioned.
Therefore, the Kuomintang Army still has troops that can fight tough battles, but after all, such troops are only a handful. Unlike the Chinese People's Liberation Army, if any division is pulled out, they will all be elite. This is the gap.
The rumbling sound of artillery gradually became sparse, and Xu Rui's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened.
Pulling the bolt with a click and pushing the bullet into the chamber, Xu Rui shouted again: "Get ready to fight!"
The next moment, there was a clicking sound behind Xu Rui. More than two hundred veterans from the 1st Temporary Company of the Independent Battalion, the 1st Temporary Company of the Northeastern Army and the 1st Guerrilla Team pulled the bolts of their guns and pushed the bullets into the gun. Then, following Xu Rui and the veterans, they got out of the anti-gun holes and entered the blocking position.
The battlefield was filled with thick smoke, which was extremely choking.
However, for veterans who are used to the smell of gunpowder smoke, this is a rare treat. One veteran even closed his eyes intoxicated and took a deep breath of the rich gunpowder smoke.
That expression is simply more enjoyable than smoking a cigarette.
After a while, Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "The Japanese are coming up."
The veteran turned his head to listen attentively, and soon he heard the faint sound of footsteps.
Then beams of flashlight light lit up under the dark night sky in front. Through the light of the flashlight, you could see that dozens of Japanese infantrymen had opened a skirmish line that was more than fifty meters wide, and the front end was bright and clear. bayonets, quickly approaching the independent battalion's blocking position on the west side of the city.
Since it was night, the Japs seemed more vigilant, and the skirmish line was wider than during the day.
Since the Battle of Songhu, the little devils have suffered enough from the Nationalist Army's night battles. Therefore, when fighting at night, the little devils must be far more vigilant than during the day, and they will never fight at night unless it is absolutely necessary.
Today, it was a last resort, Shigeto Chiaki had no choice.
"You little devil, you've learned your lesson, and you've become so vigilant." Xu Rui smiled, then turned around and said to the more than 30 veterans in the first trench behind him, "Don't rush to shoot, save some ammunition." .”
After saying that, Xu Rui said to the veteran again: "Veteran, how about we make another bet?"
"Okay." The veteran responded without fear, holding the thirty-eight cap, "How to bet?"
Xu Rui pointed at the rapidly approaching Japs in front and said with a smile: "The two of us will go forward and see whoever kills the most Japs will win."
The veteran nodded and asked, "What do you say about the bet?"
Xu Rui stared into the veteran's eyes and said solemnly: "If I lose, you can leave at any time. If I win, you have to stay and be my adjutant."
The veteran's expression changed slightly and he said, "Have you guessed my identity?"
Xu Rui neither admitted nor denied, but just asked: "Bet or not?"
The veteran hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely not lose again this time."
After saying that, the veteran took the 38 big cover and swooped out of the trench.
Xu Zui grinned, revealing two rows of cold teeth under the night sky, and then he jumped out of the trench with a 38-meter cap, and then, under the cover of night, silently pounced on the Japanese in front.
Night fighting and close combat are simply a killing paradise for special forces!
Especially for Xu Rui, who can speak fluent Japanese, it is even more difficult for the Japanese to guard against him.
Less than a hundred meters forward, a gunshot rang out in front of him. Needless to say, it must have been a veteran who fired.
Seeing the veteran firing, Xu Rui's lips showed a proud and evil smile. This time, the veteran was destined to lose.
After the gunshots rang out, dozens of Japanese soldiers who were advancing forward under the cover of night fell down one after another. They quickly set up machine guns and grenade launchers and fired violently in the direction where the veterans were hiding. Since it was nighttime, the 38-year-old Gai opened fire. The muzzle flash that bloomed at the end looked particularly eye-catching against the night, and there was no way to hide it even if I wanted to.
The Japs' light and heavy machine guns and six or seven grenade launchers fired violently at the same time. The veteran's hiding spot was instantly covered in smoke and dust. Fortunately, it was a veteran. If someone had reacted a little slower, he would have been destroyed by now. The Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers were blasted to pieces, and they were so dead that they could no longer die.
But even so, the veteran was disgraced.
From hundreds of meters away, Xu Rui seemed to be able to see the veteran's disgraced look.
As a result, the evil smile at the corner of Xu Rui's mouth became thicker and thicker. Compare to me? You're still too far gone!
Using the veteran's firepower to attract the Japs, Xu Rui made a big circle and quietly approached the Japs from the flank. Xu Rui was not as eager to shoot as the veteran. He approached the Japs less than fifty meters away, and Xu Rui still Instead of firing, they continued to move forward under the cover of night.
"Stop shooting, everyone stop shooting!"
Twenty meters away, Xu Rui heard a Japanese officer shouting loudly.
Then, the Japanese's several light and heavy machine guns and several grenade launchers ceased firing, and the entire battlefield fell silent.
After confirming that there were no more Chinese soldiers ahead, the Japanese officer raised his head and shouted: "Keep going..."
The next moment, dozens of little Japanese who were lying on the ground stood up one after another and pressed forward again with bayonets in hand.
At this moment, the veteran fired again. With a bang, the Japanese officer who had just stood up fell back. The veteran shot him directly in the head.
Seeing this scene, Guizhi, who had only taken a few steps, lay down again and started shooting again.
Gunshots and explosions rang out, and the entire battlefield was turned into a mess again. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Rui was already less than ten meters away from the Japs' skirmish line. He even saw the Japs officer who fell to the ground. , a pair of eyes suddenly opened wide, as if it would be difficult to close them until death.
The veteran's marksmanship is really good. Even at night, he is still accurate.
However, no matter how good the marksmanship is, it cannot be compared with close range killing. The veteran will still lose in this gambling match.
At this time, Xu Rui was less than two meters away from the Japs on the far right side of the skirmish line. The Japs also saw Xu Rui, but mistakenly thought he was his comrade. He paid his respects. Xu Rui drew his sword with his backhand, and then jumped towards him. To the Japs, before the Japs could react, Xu Rui had already wiped his throat.
Blood spurted out from the devil's throat like a fountain in an instant, and then he put his hands around his neck and fell to the ground twitching. The little devil tried desperately to scream as a warning, but unfortunately, only a gurgling came out of his throat. The sound was the sound of blood spurting out.
This scene happened to be seen by another Japs. The Japs were eager to turn their guns and prepare to shoot, but they were too late. At such a close distance, the turning radius of the Sanba Gai was too long. Before the Japs could turn their guns, When he came over, Xu Rui's bayonet had already wiped his throat, and another Japanese man fell to the ground with his throat covered.
After Xu Rui smeared three Japs in a row, one of the Japs finally came to his senses and loudly warned: "There are spies, there are spies sneaking in! There are spies..."
However, speaking out the warning at this time actually helped Xu Rui a lot.
Xu Rui killed three people in a row without stopping, and rushed towards the fourth target like lightning, shouting in Japanese to disrupt the Japs' hearing and hearing. Because Xu Rui was wearing a Japs uniform, he could also speak fluent Japanese, plus Now it was night again, and the Japanese had no way to tell the difference, so soon the entire attacking force fell into commotion.
Less than fifty meters away, the veteran was dumbfounded. Seeing Xu Rui killing the Japanese like chopping melons and vegetables, the veteran even forgot to shoot. Holy shit, is this okay? This girl is not fighting, she is just killing chickens. (To be continued.)
