Of course, being a soldier means you have to face life and death.
That is to kill as many enemies as possible and save yourself.
Although we are now fighting a positional battle, since the main purpose now is to wait until dark to complete the mission so that he can retreat. Seeing the strength of the Japanese army, Shang Zhen also used his combat experience in the past few years to do his best to "dodge and maneuver"
That is, try your best to delay and not confront the Japanese army!
The Japanese troops outside the city heard constant gunshots and explosions in the gap in the county town. The gunshots sounded like Type 38 rifles, and the explosions sounded like grenades fired from their Japanese grenades. After all, the charge of the grenade is larger than that of the grenade, so the explosion sound is naturally louder.
But even so, no good news came out within the county town. At least in the eyes of the Japanese troops outside the city, street fighting was really hard!
So the Japanese army began to use refueling tactics, sending wave after wave of troops to the gap.
However, the Japanese army did not know that at this time, the defenders in Songjiang County adopted new tactics under Shang Zhen's suggestion.
"We are all optimistic about our brother's shooting angle, especially when we pull the trigger, our hands must not shake!" Mr. Wang yelled loudly.
The brother that Mr. Wang is talking about refers to Qiao Xiong.
Among them, Qiao Xiong was the most talented at shooting grenades.
At this time, Qiao Xiong was squatting there holding a grenade stuck on the ground.
And right next to him, there were more than ten soldiers squatting on the ground holding grenade launchers.
In front of them were piles of rubble or broken walls destroyed by Japanese artillery shells, so the Japanese troops who had just rushed into the county did not see each other.
But so what? Chinese officers and soldiers sent out observation posts and were closely monitoring the situation after the Japanese troops entered the gap in the city wall.
The angle of the grenade Qiao Xiong was holding was exactly what they had tested before.
After Shang Zhen and the others cleared away the Japanese troops who rushed into the gap, they naturally had to prepare for the arrival of the next group of Japanese troops.
They first used cluster grenades to blow up the houses and bury the Japanese soldiers, and all those houses collapsed with the explosion.
This time, Shang Zhen naturally could not put the Japanese troops into the ruins that could no longer be used as a trap. Since the gap was already open, it was time for the grenade to come into play!
Shang Zhen knew that the Northeast Army was now running out of ammunition, so he sent his men out last night. While notifying the surrounding officers to come back for a meeting, he also brought back some grenade grenades.
Coupled with the several grenades captured today, they now lined up the grenades in a row and aimed at the ruins ahead.
To say that shooting a grenade is definitely a skilled job, its aiming line is just a painted line, let alone the sight, which is to poke the grenade on the ground by feel. If the operator feels that it is aimed, then Ready to shoot.
So after Qiao Xiong personally conducted the test firing, Shang Zhen ordered some soldiers to squat there holding the grenade at the same angle as Qiao Xiong did.
Shang Zhen personally served as an observation post, but now he was hiding behind the roof of a house.
"The little devil is here! Get ready!" Shang Zhen shouted in a low voice. He took a wooden stick in his right hand and picked a piece of rag on it to use as a signal flag. In order to prevent the Japanese army from discovering it, he stretched out the signal flag backward and hid it under the roof.
At this time, Xiao Dustpan, who was hiding behind a broken wall, stared at Shang Zhen's gesture.
When Shang Zhen shouted "Hit" and the signal flag in his hand fell down, Little Dustpan also shouted: "Hit!"
So at this moment, the soldiers squatting next to the grenade tube stuffed the grenade from the top of the grenade tube.
At this time, the soldier responsible for shooting pulled the trigger under the grenade barrel almost simultaneously.
"Boom", "Boom" and "Boom" shooting sounds sounded, and streams of white smoke rose from the shooting place. Almost at the same time, there was an explosion on the ruins where the Japanese army was advancing.
For the Japanese army, they are all too familiar with the "boom", "boom" and "boom" shooting sounds.
But this time, they never thought that when the grenade sounded, the grenade exploded on top of their heads!
Suddenly, the unprepared numerous Japanese troops were knocked down by the flying shrapnel.
At this time, the Northeastern officers and soldiers hiding in the nearby houses appeared one after another and fired with guns.
Some of the Japanese troops who rushed to the ruins hid behind the rubble, while others hid behind broken walls and began to fight back with guns.
However, not to mention the shooting from the surrounding Northeastern officers and soldiers, the grenades came one after another.
The grenade is a light mortar and a direct-fire weapon. The broken wall of the rubble where the Japanese army was hiding could block the bullets, but it could not block the whizzing grenades.
After only two rounds of shelling, there were only a few gunshots from the Japanese counterattack.
"Machine gun cover! Rush up and kill these idiots!" the officer in charge shouted, and then he rushed forward with the box cannon and the soldiers.
At this time, even if some Japanese troops resisted, they were killed by covering fire from a distance. It was only a few minutes later that the Japanese troops who rushed into the gap were all eliminated again.
There is no doubt that this is another perfect attack.
But even though the attack was over, the gunfire still did not stop. It was Shang Zhen who ordered the soldiers to fire a few more shots from time to time with their Type 38 rifles.
Veterans like them can hear the difference between the gunshots of the Type 38 rifle and other rifles, so naturally the Japanese soldiers can also hear it.
However, the Japanese army's sight was blocked by the ruins of the county wall and they could not see the situation inside the county. They thought that their people were still engaged in street fighting, so the Japanese artillery stopped firing.
Throughout the afternoon, Shang Zhen and the others used this method to trick the Japanese army into attacking, and then used the designed trap to ambush the Japanese army, and then used the grenades obtained from the ambush to ambush the Japanese army again.
Back and forth, Shang Zhen dragged the battle into the dusk.
At this point in the battle, although they had eliminated hundreds of Japanese troops, the Northeast Army also suffered hundreds of casualties.
Seeing the corpses of Japanese soldiers lying on the ruins, just when Shang Zhen was thinking about whether to clean up the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese army attacked again, but finally a Japanese soldier passed through the gap and saw the corpses of his fellow Japanese soldiers lying on the ruins!
At this time, the Japanese soldiers finally felt something was wrong. They no longer attacked forward, but retreated.
At this time, when the Northeast Army soldiers on the city wall fired again with their guns, some Japanese soldiers finally escaped the disaster.
"This isn't enough killing yet!" the officer in charge said regretfully.
"It's better to evacuate quickly. I feel that the Japs may shell our place." Shang Zhen suggested.
The officer was completely convinced by Shang Zhen at this time, so he naturally said "ok".
And at this moment, a shout came from behind them: "Who is Shang Zhen? Commander Chang asked you to take people back to protect the commander!"
