The position of the third company where Chen Sansheng was located not only included this crossing, but also the main road outside.
A few days ago, the 18th Division's three-day offensive turned Wuhu, a city that was supposed to be full of antiques, almost into ruins. The surrounding area was filled with darkness, like a ghost town.
During the three days of attacking Wuhu County, the Japanese artillery battalion fired almost non-stop. Those were the three days when the artillery battalion of the 18th Division fired most frequently. Even the muzzles of the guns were almost red with fire.
In fact, in the early days of the all-out war against China, the Japanese army was relatively abundant in guns and ammunition. After all, it only had 0 outside the Central China Front and the North China Front. Moreover, its pre-war strategic material reserves were fully sufficient to support several large-scale wars. Battle.
In the later stages of the war, the Japanese army was fighting on all sides and consumed a lot of strategic supplies. Naturally, they were not as "trench-minded" as they were at the beginning.
There are ruins all around. Except for the fierce fighting on the main road, the southwest area of Wuhu City where Chen Sansheng and others are located is relatively quiet.
The bleak and biting night wind whistled, making the five-color Republican flag near Chen Sansheng rustle, and also made the cheeks of these puppet soldiers turn red.
"It's so damn cold." The puppet soldier next to Chen Sansheng responded.
"But this is still not as good as the winter in our three northeastern provinces. It hasn't snowed yet." Chen Sansheng replied.
"But we have knives and knives to drink there, but not here. I really hope to finish the war and go back soon. I heard that this National Government army is not so powerful. It first defeated the Watanabe Regiment. Wounded, the Fujita unit was half disabled again, and now they are rushing into the city so quickly. I hope they are not coming here. If they come here, our life will not be able to survive." Chen Sansheng's comrade Zhai Ergou said.
"I hope so!" Chen Sansheng murmured. In fact, he was also afraid of death. What if these National Government troops really came here to kill them?
Just when Chen Sansheng was thinking about this very tangled problem, a burst of dense and fast footsteps sounded in the alley.
"Fuck, what a damn bad luck, what are you afraid of?" Zhai Ergou cursed, then picked up the light machine gun and prepared to shoot into the alley.
The only people responsible for guarding here are the squads where Chen Sansheng and Zhai Ergou belong. The defensive force is relatively empty, so the puppet soldiers are very nervous, fearing that a large force of the national army is about to appear.
As for the company commander just now, he has already gone to inspect other positions.
The dense footsteps were getting closer and closer, Chen Sansheng's palms were already covered with sweat, and his breathing was gradually becoming faster. This is how a recruit who has never been on the battlefield should behave.
"Get ready to fight! If it's an enemy, the machine gunner will shoot immediately!" the puppet squad leader said. He was a veteran, to be precise, a veteran who had been recruited from the bandits.
There is no way. When the puppet Manchukuo Army was established, most of Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army had retreated to Peiping and Hebei to garrison in the pass. Even the remaining Northeast Army, generally not many were willing to surrender, like General Ma Zhanshan. That category is the outstanding representative of the Northeast Army who stayed in the Northeast.
After all, there are relatively few people with no backbone like Zhang Jinghui.
Therefore, when the Puppet Manchukuo Army was established, there was an extreme shortage of both officers and veterans. Therefore, cultivating qualified officers and recruiting and training qualified soldiers became the most urgent issues for the newly established Puppet Manchukuo Army at that time.
Therefore, the recruitment of bandits has become one of the recruitment routes-these bandits are lazy, but at least they have fired guns and fought in battles, and their military qualities are not better than those of hungry people.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the hearts of the dozen or so puppet soldiers became more and more excited.
As the crowd got closer and closer, the puppet squad leader suddenly turned on the flashlight and saw a tall "Manchukuo" army officer running towards them with a light machine gun.
When Chen Sansheng and others saw that they were "friendly troops", they couldn't help but loosen their grip on the guns tightly.
"Hey, which army are you from?" The puppet squad leader stood up and asked after confirming that the badge on the hat worn by the man in front of him was the five-color republic badge.
Unfortunately, the puppet squad leader did not wait for a reply from the "friendly forces", but only machine gun bullets came.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The three machine gunners who rushed forward opened fire. Of course, these three machine gunners also included Zhang Tianhai.
A long tongue of flame spurted out from the muzzle of the machine gun, and bullets with scorching heat burst out of the barrel, hitting the puppet squad leader, and several streams of blood mist were sprayed out.
Two other puppet soldiers who were unable to dodge were also hit in the head and died immediately.
Facing the scene that suddenly happened in front of him, Chen Sansheng was frightened and his mind was almost blank: he had never been so close to death. The comrade he had been chatting with just now died like this. This was almost... What happened in a split second.
Looking at the bright red blood in front of him, a yellow liquid with a foul smell slowly flowed out from his crotch. What Chen Sansheng never expected was that he was so frightened that he peed on the battlefield for the first time, and he peed so much. sharp.
Normally, someone might have made fun of him for being a soldier who peed his pants, but now no one could make fun of him.
The squad leader died, and the brothers who lived with him day and night also died, and even Zhai Ergou fell in front of him.
Chen Sansheng suddenly realized that the bowl of rice served by the puppet army was not that delicious.
Just when Chen Sansheng was covering his head and hiding behind the bunker, not daring to show his head, Zhang Tianhai had already jumped over his head with a light machine gun. Looking at the back, Chen Sansheng no longer had the will to fight!
This sudden battle happened so suddenly that the puppet troops guarding this street almost didn't even react.
By the time the puppet troops reacted, the officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment wearing puppet uniforms but with armbands had already rushed out. Since the officers and soldiers at the front were charging with light machine guns, That suppressive firepower is not so fierce.
The firepower of six light machine guns almost overwhelmed the puppet soldiers. When they were about to counterattack, Japanese-made cantaloupe grenades that were smoking were already thrown in front of them.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The exploding grenades set off shock waves and deafening explosions. The puppet soldiers who got too close to the bombs were even torn into pieces in an instant. The scene was very bloody.
"Major Miyazaki, Major Miyazaki, the position of the Manchukuo Army has been attacked by the enemy. The battle is very fierce. Do we provide support?!" A Japanese second lieutenant ran forward and reported.
"No need, inform the troops and get ready to fight. The division headquarters is 1,500 meters further along this road. You must hold on!" Major Miyazaki, who had a beard on his face, said fiercely, which one is more important to him? Still know.
For the Japanese commanders, these puppet troops were regarded as abandoned soldiers!
