The third platoon leader led the soldiers as they fought and moved towards the mountain forest, trying to attract firepower to their side. However, it was difficult for these dozen people alone to hold on for too long, and they were soon forced to the corner of the mountain wall by the little Japs.
"Who still has 79 short rounds!?"
After finishing a magazine, the third platoon leader touched his waist and found that he had no spare magazine on him.
"there is none left…"
"I only have about ten hairs left..."
The soldiers didn't have much ammunition, so the whole platoon relied on the last MG3 machine gun to support them. Those soldiers who used stg44 also adjusted the speed machine to semi-automatic, and everyone was almost out of bullets.
"damn it!"
The third platoon leader threw away the empty rifle and reluctantly took out a Browning pistol and a multi-functional military spur that he carried with him.
The stg44 is not suitable for fighting with a bayonet. If you have to fight hand-to-hand later, you can only use a pistol and this saber to meet the enemy.
Qiu Lin also found a bayonet on his comrade who died in the battle, and immediately installed it on the muzzle of the G43 rifle.
Originally, I wanted to get in touch with the company commander and the others, but the communication soldier had already died in the battle just now, and the walkie-talkie was left unknown where.
Now their situation is almost desperate. Once the ammunition is exhausted and the little devils rush up, only the bayonets will see red.
At this moment...a red signal flare soared into the sky and flew hundreds of meters into the sky. The dazzling red light could be clearly seen even through the branches of the bushes.
"He succeeded! He...he succeeded..."
The third platoon leader was surprised at first, but then he thought about it. This also meant that Li Shuanggui, who was alone, was completely exposed to the enemy's sight, and the outcome could be imagined.
After a while, the little Japanese who were still actively attacking seemed to have received some order and suddenly began to retreat.
Looking at the Japanese who fled in panic, the soldiers were a little confused, but the feeling of surviving the disaster did not make them think too much about anything else. They all fell to the ground gasping for breath as if they were exhausted.
Soon, the ear-piercing scream of an aerial bomb struck again.
The Third Platoon, who had experienced this before, immediately covered their ears and shouted to the soldiers: "Don't run around! Find a place to hide!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
In an instant... a fierce explosion rang out from the Japanese artillery position, and those artillery pieces and personnel that had not yet had time to move were instantly engulfed in a sea of flames.
This time the bomb dropped almost directly in the center of the Japanese team. The bombs fell on the heads of the Japanese one after another, like justice from the sky, and the earth could not stop shaking.
Countless little devils were torn to pieces in this horrific bombing, and the artillery pieces they regarded as treasures disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The explosion even caused a chain reaction, and the damage caused by the shell explosion made this round of bombing even more dazzling.
All kinds of screams and wails had long been covered up by the deafening explosions, and the Japanese troops at the center of the bombing suffered heavy casualties. They had nowhere to escape. Countless limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere. Life seemed to become extremely small at this moment.
Especially the terrifying napalm bomb, which rolled up a huge wall of fire several meters high on the ground in the blink of an eye. The surrounding bushes added to its power, and the flames continued to devour all living creatures around it.
The fire soaring into the sky instantly covered an area of tens of meters in radius, leaving no grass growing wherever it went. The Japanese inside were tortured like a wave of purgatory, their bodies covered in flames, roaring and screaming with claws and claws.
The vacuum and oxygen-deficient environment caused by the explosion and combustion of gasoline bombs is even more terrifying. In addition to being burned by thousands of degrees of heat, you also have to experience the pain caused by lack of oxygen and suffocation.
It wasn't over yet. The roar of the aircraft engine came again in the sky.
A total of six F4U pirate fighter planes dived down from high altitude. Several rockets were mounted on both sides of their wings, and they launched a new round of strikes on areas not covered by bombs.
The Japanese army, which had suffered such a heavy blow, could no longer organize its troops, and its morale collapsed completely. Some lucky Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to stay any longer and ran towards the mountains and forests with each other's support.
The little devils who died in the explosion were lucky, but the worst were those who were blown up half-dead and died with only one breath left.
Seeing the miserable condition of his companions and his own incomplete body, the physical and psychological torture is the most painful existence.
Tadayama Homo has disappeared. He may have been torn to pieces by the bomb, or he may have fled into the mountains with the deserters. In short, this Japanese artillery unit was completely destroyed.
…
Ten minutes later, company commander Chen Xinmin and the instructor led the soldiers from the second platoon to the vicinity of the impact point to check.
The bomber formation had completed dropping bombs and returned home, but due to the communication interruption, it was still unable to contact the third platoon. Chen Xinmin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
The soldiers were stunned by the mess in front of them. They could smell an indescribable stench from a distance. It was the smell of burning napalm bombs, mixed with the stench of burnt corpses, which was disgusting.
"Thankfully it didn't blow up our heads..." Chen Xinmin shook his head and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Old Chen, the Japs may still be around, so the soldiers must be careful."
The instructor stepped forward and looked around cautiously, while also looking for traces of the three rows of soldiers.
Everyone knew that a fierce battle broke out here before the bombing, but because of the location problem on their side, they were not able to rush to support at the first time.
No one knows the specific situation of the third row now, but they are afraid that the worst has already happened.
"Company commander! The third platoon commander and the others are here!"
Hearing the shout, Chen Xinmin ran over in a hurry.
It turned out that three rows of soldiers were found in an overgrown depression beside the river bed. They were lying in a mess in the wet mud, and most of them were in a coma. After examination and first aid by medical soldiers, many soldiers woke up leisurely.
As soon as the third platoon leader opened his eyes, he felt dizzy and subconsciously grabbed the gun next to him. He thought it was a kid who had touched it. He was relieved after seeing clearly who was coming.
Due to the sudden bombing, they had no time to evacuate from the bombing range, so they were also affected. If they were not in a low-lying depression, the outcome might not be much different from that of the little devils.
But even so, everyone was shaken by the shock wave so much that their chests felt tight and their eyes were filled with stars. Fortunately, the napalm bomb dropped was not at this location, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous...
The third platoon leader, whose face was covered in black and gray, sat stunned on the ground, with some blood oozing slightly from his two ear holes.
"Lao Jiao, are you okay? Where's Mr. Li? Hello...what about you, Lao Jiao?"
After experiencing two rounds of bombings at close range, his hearing had been severely damaged. Even if Chen Xinmin shouted in front of him, he seemed not to hear it.
