Often, before one's own troops have entered the familiar fighting position, the enemy's machine gun and rifle bullets hit them as if they had eyes. When you finally used your life to repel the Japanese with your superiority in numbers, the Japanese artillery fell like raindrops again.
Liu Afu had never seen artillery being squandered like this. Within a few dozen minutes, the Japanese's large and small artillery bombarded their position endlessly.
The brothers could only lie down in the trenches and resign themselves to their fate, hoping that the shells would not fall on their heads and that this purgatory-like torture would end as soon as possible.
I saw familiar brothers and comrades being shot dead by the enemy's precise bullets in the smoke, and I saw some brothers being blown into pieces by the Japanese artillery amidst desperate roars.
But Liu Afu also saw that none of his comrades-in-arms gave in, let alone were frightened or intimidated.
He saw countless brothers holding cluster grenades in order to blow up the Japanese armored vehicles, rushing out of the position one by one in the face of the Japanese heavy rain of bullets, and then falling one after another to the Japanese machine gun fire.
But they still fought hard and fought hard. After paying a total of more than thirty lives, the armored vehicle that the little devil was charging into was finally blown up.
The moment they saw the flames rising from the Japanese armored vehicles, the brothers in the entire position cheered and roared.
With tears in his eyes, Liu Afu also cheered and shouted with his comrades, using heart-rending roars to declare the dignity of the Chinese people and the mourning for their fallen comrades.
Then the brothers roared out of the trenches and chased the little Japanese who retreated from Canghuan.
However, the brothers did not expect that the Japs were too cunning. Even when they retreated, they deployed enough covering firepower in the rear, causing the pursuing brothers to suffer enough and pay a heavy price.
Moreover, when the little Japanese retreated, they did not care about their backs at all like the domestic troops Liu Afu had seen before, and just ran for their lives.
The little Japanese retreated in an orderly manner. Once the troops at the end of the group were overtaken, they would automatically form several three-person combat groups, turn around and bayonet with the pursuing troops, covering the retreat of the large troops.
Originally, bayonet fighting was commonplace for Liu Afu and the brothers in his company.
Fighting with a bayonet is not only physical work and technical work, but also a contest of human spirit and will. The blood and cruelty of stabbing a bayonet into the human body has a very powerful visual and mental impact on people. Generally, people with slightly weaker willpower will inevitably have psychological fear and fear, and their momentum and confidence will be shaken. Often in a one-on-one fight, momentum and determination are the key to victory or defeat, and even more importantly, life and death.
In this regard, Liu Afu believed that his 19th Route Army was one of the best in the country. The 19th Route Army's reputation as an iron army also included their courage and courage to fight for their lives.
However, the little devil's performance was far beyond his expectations.
Not only were these Japanese soldiers not inferior to the 19th Route Army in terms of momentum and tenacity, but they also taught their brothers a good lesson in stabbing skills and teamwork.
A squad led by Liu Afu lost three people during the pursuit. Now that they finally caught up with the Japanese, they naturally wanted to beat up the fallen dog. With this mentality, one of the brothers at the front impatiently raised his gun and stabbed the Japanese in front of him without waiting for the people behind him to arrive.
However, he saw that this Japanese man had a ferocious look on his face, and he did not dodge or dodge, but he also stabbed him head-on with a spear.
At this time, the competition between the two sides is who is more determined and who moves faster.
And this soldier of the 19th Route Army is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, he knows that he must not retreat now. The worst is to trade his life for his life.
But the result was that Liu Afu, who rushed over, was heartbroken and shocked.
Seeing the two men's bayonets passing each other like a gust of wind, stabbing each other's chest fiercely, at some point, a rifle suddenly appeared in the direction where the veteran of the 19th Route Army was stabbing, just lightly. A block changed the direction of his stabbing, allowing him to stab into the air. But the enemy's bayonet penetrated his chest easily without any hindrance.
However, Liu Afu, who was a few steps behind, could see clearly that it was another Japanese who was one step away from the enemy. He suddenly stepped to block, separating the veteran's bayonet and letting his own Companions stabbed each other down as easily as killing a chicken.
What's even more shocking is that the Japs who stabbed the veteran didn't pay attention to the opponent who fell to the ground. Instead, they stepped forward to block Liu Afu's soldiers who were following him and stabbed the Japs on the side. One shot, but the Japanese who was blocking before became the main attacker this time. Taking advantage of the moment when the warrior's center of gravity was unstable after being stabbed in the front, the same simple thrust made the warrior vomit blood. Falling softly to the ground.
In just a moment, two of the soldiers in Liu Afu's class fell. If we add the three who fell on the pursuit route before, Liu Afu and his squad had only 9 people left after the tragic battle. It was just a seemingly simple and short pursuit battle, and now there are only 4 people left.
And Liu Afu saw that right next to the two Japs, there was another Japs keeping a triangular step away from them, and he was paying vigilant attention to the dynamics of the battlefield.
The seemingly simple but well-timed cooperation between the two Japanese soldiers seemed a bit scary in the eyes of a veteran like Liu Afu who had been on the battlefield.
This kind of tacit cooperation between two people would be impossible to achieve without hundreds or thousands of trainings. It is equivalent to a person completely putting his life in the hands of his companions, and it seems so natural both in action and psychology.
This complete and unreserved trust shows that their tacit understanding and cooperation are deep in their bones.
Liu Afu knew that, not to mention how skillful and skillful the Japs were in their stabbing movements, but in terms of their team spirit of mutual cooperation, he and his brothers were far inferior.
He quickly ordered the remaining three soldiers to move closer to him, forming a semicircle, and a stalemate broke out with the Japanese.
In fact, at this time, Liu Afu knew that the best way was to just shoot without telling the little devil any rules.
However, during the pursuit just now, everyone had used up all the bullets in their guns on the road, and they all wanted to catch up and capture the prisoners, so who the hell bothered to load bullets.
Now both sides are close at hand, concentrating on preparing for the thrust, and no one dares to make unnecessary movements.
