Chapter 2 The situation is critical
"Can it be done?"
Zhao Ziming has not yet recovered from the shock. He does not understand why his brother suddenly knows so much.
Zhao Zhiguo just smiled softly, then stretched out the gun from the bunker, aimed at one of the Jaap's machine gunners, and then made a visual inspection: "We can't let all soldiers participate. The Jaap's marksmanship is not bad either. Regardless of whether there are any soldiers involved in the operation,
To hit the target, you have to shoot and change places."
The Jaap's firepower and marksmanship are both impressive. Once discovered, if they want to compete with the Jaap in marksmanship, the Chinese soldiers will definitely win less and lose more.
Zhao Ziming nodded. He couldn't care about that much anymore. There were insufficient manpower on the position and reinforcements were still arriving. If they continued to fight like today, they probably wouldn't be able to survive for many brothers in the platoon tomorrow.
"Bang"
Gunfire rang out again on the position, and before Zhao Ziming could arrange the mission, Zhao Zhiguo had already knocked down the Japs machine gunner he was aiming at.
"Good marksmanship!" Zhao Ziming was secretly surprised that his younger brother had such good marksmanship, and he had not discovered it before.
However, before Zhao Zhiguo could load the bullet again, a flurry of bullets hit the bunker, and the bullets "swish" flew over their heads.
Zhao Zhiguo grinned and exclaimed in his heart, "It's so dangerous."
"We should change places!"
Zhao Zhiguo knew very well that he would definitely not be able to stop the Japs' attack with his own strength. Just as he was loading the gun, there must be soldiers from the Japs who had taken up the position of machine gunners again.
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety, I will arrange for other brothers." Zhao Ziming felt a lot more at ease after seeing Zhao Zhiguo's marksmanship.
Sporadic gunshots rang out on the position, and little Japs kept falling under the guns of the Chinese soldiers. But this did not stop the Japs' attack.
"Da da da"
The little Japanese's machine gun fired at the place where the cold gun had just been fired. However, with a crisp gunshot, the little Japanese's machine gun went silent for a moment. This shot was fired from another angle of the Chinese army's position.
The constantly changing positions of the cold guns gave the charging little devils a headache.
"Speed up the charge."
The little Japanese officer also saw that the Chinese army on the position was planning to kill them bit by bit. The longer the delay, the greater their casualties. Therefore, they must approach the position defended by the Chinese army as quickly as possible, so that they can
Let the Chinese soldiers who use cold guns have nowhere to hide.
"beat!"
As the Japs got closer and closer to the position, the soldiers who fired cold shots also suffered casualties. Zhao Ziming decisively ordered to open fire, and the firepower of the entire platoon poured into the Japs.
The position became lively again, with various gunshots and explosions mixed with fear and anger...
Zhao Zhiguo remained calm and calm. He did not shoot at the Japs when he saw them like other soldiers. At this time, he was like a hunter, calmly scanning the battlefield, looking for prey that entered his range.
After killing a Japs machine gunner, Zhao Zhiguo saw out of the corner of his eye a Japs lieutenant directing the charge with a command knife.
"Bang"
Zhao Zhiguo aimed decisively and fired. The bullet crossed half of the battlefield and hit the lieutenant's temple. The force of the bullet took away half of the lieutenant's head.
As the fighting continued, the Japanese troops dropped more and more corpses in front of their positions.
Especially the casualties of the machine gunners caused a serious lack of firepower for the attacking Japs. Facing the Chinese soldiers with bunkers, no matter how good their marksmanship was, the Japs were still unable to take a step forward. The last thirty meters from the position became an indispensable obstacle for the Japs.
A gap to cross.
However, the Japs still did not give the order to retreat and kept charging towards Zhao Zhiguo's position. The soldiers on the position fell into a pool of blood one after another.
Zhao Zhiguo's platoon stabilized the situation, but they were not the only platoon fighting the Japanese troops on the several-kilometer front.
"Second platoon leader, second platoon leader, the little Japs rushed to the platoon's position!" A communications soldier hurried to Zhao Zhiguo's position.
The positions of the second platoon and the first platoon are adjacent to each other, and the two are at odds with each other. Once the first platoon's position is occupied by the Japanese army, the second platoon will be unable to attack and may even be surrounded by the Japanese army.
But Zhao Ziming looked at the few soldiers on his position. There were originally more than forty people in their platoon, but now there were only about twenty left. The most important thing was that the Japanese army in front of them was still attacking. At this time, he divided his troops to support one platoon.
The consequences are disastrous!
"What's going on over there with the third platoon?" Zhao Ziming asked the communications soldier eagerly.
"Sir, the position of the third platoon is also in danger. The company commander has asked the regiment headquarters for help, but..." the communications soldier frowned and sighed.
Their entire division had been fighting the Japanese army for three days and three nights on the battlefield, repelling dozens of Japanese attacks with very poor equipment, and the casualties were naturally considerable.
Not only did their company lack troops, the entire defense line needed military support. The regiment's troops were also stretched thin, and there were very few troops available for support.
Even if their regiment commander can mobilize troops in time, by the time support arrives, the position may have changed hands.
Zhao Ziming was also in trouble. He sent fewer troops to support, which was a drop in the bucket and had no effect at all. There were too many additional troops, what would happen to their positions?
When Zhao Ziming was hesitant, Zhao Zhiguo noticed something unusual. After hearing about the situation in the first row, he also frowned.
Judging from the current strength of the troops, their company must not only be in this situation on the battlefield, and their regiment commander may not be able to spare a single soldier to support them.
"Give me a machine gun and a deputy, and I'll support the first platoon."
After Zhao Zhiguo thought for a moment, he volunteered. Support was necessary. Otherwise, if a row of positions was lost, how could the Japs let them go.
"Zhiguo..." Zhao Ziming was still worried about his brother's safety.
Judging from the current situation and the combat effectiveness of the Japs, even if their entire platoon comes in for reinforcements, the hope is very slim.
Zhao Zhiguo felt warm in his heart. In a strange world, there were still people who cared about him so much.
"Don't worry, I'm a cat and I have nine lives. Even if everyone on the battlefield dies, I can still survive!"
Zhao Zhiguo still has this confidence. The Japs may leave a division of the Chinese army on the battlefield, but if Zhao Zhiguo wants to leave, it is probably difficult for the Japs to stop him.
It's not that Zhao Ziming doesn't trust his brother. Guns and cannons have no eyes. You can't survive on the battlefield just because you want to. He would rather send a platoon of soldiers there than take risks with his brother.
"Machine gunner!" Zhao Zhiguo shouted, "Bring enough bullets and follow me to support the brothers in the first platoon."
Before Zhao Ziming could give the order, Zhao Zhiguo took the only machine gun in the platoon and began to move to the right wing, where the first platoon was located.
The row of positions was in chaos, and the soldiers had already started hand-to-hand combat with the Japs who had rushed to the position.
The little Japanese in the rear saw that the charging troops had already rushed into the position, so they immediately arranged for two more squads of soldiers to support them, hoping to capture their position in one go.
Chapter completed!
