Chapter 232 The Fate of the Wounded Soldiers(1/2)
After hearing Squadron Leader Naito's order, Sergeant Kuriyama Taiji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly released the trigger, as if there was a venomous snake on the trigger.
One minute before this, Sergeant Kuriyama Daiharu watched with his own eyes as the eighth soldier in his unit was killed by this heavy machine gun.
Looking at the eight corpses lined up neatly next to the machine gun, he didn't want to be a supplementary shooter at all.
It was only when the squadron leader's eyes were red and he was waving his pistol and yelling that he had to get up and become the main shooter.
The hands were trembling, the heart was afraid of death, and even its teeth were chattering.
If it were a normal battle and some Japs died in the team, Sergeant Kuriyama Taiji would not be afraid.
As a veteran of hundreds of battles, what kind of casualties have you not seen?
He had seen a lot of dead Japanese soldiers, including corpses that had been blown to pieces by shells and mummies that had been burnt to the point of charcoal.
But this is the first time Kuriyama Taiji has seen a scene like today:
The machine gun shooters in the entire machine gun squadron will die if they hit the machine gun.
The machine gun squadron has proven this with nearly a hundred Japs: without exception.
Kuriyama Taiji, who knew he was bound to die, approached the heavy machine gun with extreme fear.
Fortunately, the order to retreat was given before any shots were fired or hit.
Sergeant Kuriyama Taiji wanted to grab his gun and leave. Retreating was not an escape.
You don't need anything to escape, but you still need to take the machine gun with you to retreat.
Eight Japs had already died in his unit, and the remaining five Japs still needed to carry the heavy machine gun away.
At this moment, his head suddenly split open and a bullet hit him.
Sergeant Kuriyama Taiji, with a face full of despair, fell to the ground unwillingly.
The devils in the entire machine gun squadron know that today's heavy machine gun shooters will die if they touch the gun.
Sergeant Maeda Yusei ignored Kuriyama Taiji who fell to the ground. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the barrel of the machine gun and ran away, wanting to leave this cursed position as soon as possible.
Sergeant Maeda Yusei still had a trace of luck in his heart: I have never fired a gun, so I will definitely not be shot!
You can't be shot, and you shouldn't be shot!
The impossible happened anyway, and something Maeda Yusei didn't expect happened: the so-called rule of "if you don't shoot, you don't get shot" was summed up by the devils themselves.
Wei Mingyang didn't think so: he saw the Japanese machine gun squadron retreating, and this was the last chance to eliminate them!
Wei Mingyang cherished this opportunity very much, so Sergeant Maeda Yusheng staggered and fell to the ground while carrying the machine gun.
He became more and more comfortable with the two medium-sized rifles. The Japs' heavy machine guns were too great a threat. The Japs in the entire machine gun squadron should die.
Only in this way can the Second Battalion's breakout road be smoother.
He did not let the Japanese machine gun squadron go just because they were preparing to move.
One shot after another, they kept firing at the Japanese three hundred meters away.
Commander Lu, the staff officers at the regiment headquarters, and the guards looked at his performance blankly: they all couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
The gun was a formal rifle, and they had all used this kind of gun. Moreover, these two guns belonged to Lu Fei and Yang Dazhu.
The same gun, the same bullet, but in Wei Mingyang's hands, the gun seemed to have a soul, and the bullet seemed to have eyes.
Just drill into the devil's head!
On the Japanese machine gun position in the distance, Japanese soldiers continued to fall.
The Japs in Naito Kaimasa's machine gun squadron were also dumbfounded: just now, only the main shooter was killed, and now even the Japs looking at the machine guns on the side were shot in the head.
Each machine gun unit now only has one or two shrimps left, and these Japanese no longer dare to stay in the position.
They didn't want the machine guns anymore, turned around and ran away.
Naito Kaimasa's machine gun squadron originally had 157 Japs, but now only less than 20 Japs are left and are starting to escape.
Not only ordinary soldiers were running away, but Squadron Leader Naito Yoshimasa also turned around and ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.
Wei Mingyang shot a few more Japanese Japs who were escaping from the machine gun squadron, and then stopped.
He said to Captain Lu: "We have to rush over! Grab those heavy machine guns. Use the Japanese machine guns, load the Japanese bullets, and fight the Japanese!"
After talking about several Japs in a row, Commander Lu's mood improved.
He nodded and said: "There is only one Japanese infantry squadron left in front of us. Start charging now! Charge from the front!"
The order to counterattack was given, and the officers and soldiers of the second battalion immediately jumped out of the temporary fortifications and rushed towards the Japanese more than a hundred meters away.
Without the threat of heavy machine guns in the distance, Wei Mingyang's attack on the nearby Yangping infantry squadron became much faster and easier.
A rifle loaded with five rounds can be fired in only five seconds, and five Japanese will definitely die in front.
This time he became picky and shot the Japanese commander first.
The Japs' team is a highly hierarchical team. As long as their grassroots command is paralyzed, the entire team's combat effectiveness will be gone.
Team leader Hibiki Hasegawa was lying on the ground, raising a pistol in his right hand and waving it towards the low hillside in front: "Knock out their machine guns!"
"Pistol!" This is the commander's standard equipment and can be used to shoot.
"boom!"
Captain Hibiki Hasegawa was already low to the dust and was still wearing a steel helmet. His head suddenly stopped moving when it touched the ground.
There was a bullet hole in the helmet!
Lu Fei and Yang Dazhu, who had suppressed Wei Mingyang, now do not look far away or think elsewhere.
They only had their own rifles in their eyes. When the rifles were shot and put aside, they immediately put the bullets in them.
He also thoughtfully loaded the chamber and returned it to its original position.
…
The atmosphere on the airship gradually became solemn: the observers and reporters no longer smiled or moved around.
British military observer Willard Flood, who had just been holding a glass of wine in his hand, had already put down the wine.
Holding a monocular and constantly scanning the battlefield, he saw the rout of the Japanese machine gun positions.
The same Soviet military observer Maxim also saw the defeat of the Japanese machine gun positions, but this time he did not sneer.
No one on the airship laughed out loud at a team that only started to escape after 90% of its troops were killed.
But Aso Saburo thought this was a great shame and humiliation. He shouted: "Coward! Coward! They will definitely go to court-martial!"
Everyone on the airship no longer looked at the Japanese soldiers, they thought with their toes.
It can all be summed up from the collapse of the machine gun squadron:
There is indeed a sharpshooter in the national army. He single-handedly disabled a machine gun squadron.
Such people deserve respect and focus.
Unfortunately, they searched carefully on the front line of the Second Battalion's defense line and found no suspicious persons.
At a distance of three hundred meters, the shooter will definitely shoot on the front line. This is what everyone thinks.
Therefore, they are looking for the sharpshooter on the front line of defense.
This time even Maxim didn't mock Aso Saburo, he was also looking for someone.
Looking for the hero who single-handedly killed a Japanese machine gun squadron.
While Hasegawa Hibiki's hand was still raised in the air, he was suddenly shot in the head, and the hand waving in the air fell feebly back to the ground.
Below, Squadron Leader Yohei is hiding behind the entire infantry squadron. What he is brandishing is not a pistol, but a command knife.
Such an obvious mark made Wei Mingyang excited and fired!
"Bang!" The top Japanese commander in the attacking position died.
The soldiers of the second battalion had already rushed out of the fortifications and charged the Japanese more than a hundred meters away. Their machine guns fired continuously.
Cooperating with Wei Mingyang, he used firepower to suppress the Japanese.
The soldiers who had been suppressed for two hours jumped up from the simple fortifications and rushed towards the Japanese quickly.
Below, the squadron leaders of Yohei Squadron Yusei and Baosheng Zuotai immediately took over the command.
Seeing the national army on the hillside launching a counterattack, Baosheng Sota was overjoyed: Hand-to-hand combat! My favorite!
He ordered: "Fix bayonets!"
The remaining 100 or so Japs began to fix their bayonets.
Captain Baosheng Zuotai stood up, brandished his command knife, and shouted at the officers and soldiers of the second battalion rushing over: "Kill in time!"
"Bang!" Wei Mingyang fired lightly, and the Japanese who had just taken over the command of the squadron fell down.
Captain Zhongshan Guards immediately stood up: "Kill in time!"
"Snapped!"
