The Japanese troops were approaching.
What they saw in their eyes was the small village that had just been blown into ruins by their artillery.
The number of Japanese troops was not large, only fifty or sixty people. They really swam across from the other side of the water.
The difference between the Chinese and Japanese armies is not only the Japanese army's powerful firepower and high tactical literacy, but also their combat concepts.
The reason why the Chinese army fought so fiercely on the Songhu battlefield is because they are used to fighting civil wars. Using human sea tactics, as long as they are not afraid of death, they will generally defeat their opponents.
The Japanese army will never play the human wave tactic. Compared with the rigid tactics of a considerable number of Chinese troops who stick to their positions, the Japanese army pays great attention to roundabout encirclement, and has tried and tested it successfully during the battle with the Chinese army.
They would have small groups of Japanese troops carrying necessary weapons, ammunition, medicines and food to conduct roundabout attacks on the Chinese army's positions.
Without knowing the true situation, the Chinese army was often caught off guard by the Japanese outflanking team, and then the entire front was defeated point by point.
At this time, the Japanese army had detected Chinese troops on the hill to the north.
A strong attack is certainly necessary, but if a surprise attack can be successful, their casualties will also be reduced.
But they really didn't expect that they would encounter a "straggler" of the Chinese army here.
In the eyes of the Japanese army, this was the ruins of a village.
Even if there is Chinese military defense here, Chinese soldiers will be buried under that house as the wall collapses.
But they didn't know that right behind a collapsed house, Shang Zhen had already raised his hand.
Shang Zhen had already reached the edge of the village. The Japanese army's attack direction was in the center of the village. Just because there were stacks of firewood burning there, the Japanese army wanted to use the smoke cover to rush into the village.
And just when the Japanese army was still dozens of meters away from the smoke, Shang Zhen's raised hand quickly slashed down!
The Japanese army could not see Shang Zhen, but Guan Tiedou and Yu Qingfu, who were hiding behind the thick smoke with a machine gun, and Ma Erhuzi, a small dustpan with a flower trap, could see Shang Zhen's gestures.
So at the moment when Shang Zhen made the gesture, the sound of the "chug chug" machine gun and the "t-t-t-t" sound of the machine gun were connected together.
But the Japanese army never expected that bullets would fly after the smoke?
Smoke is a natural cover. Even when the Japanese army landed at Jinshanwei, they let go of smoke bombs.
So, at this moment, countless bullets shot through the empty smoke and suddenly fired into the Japanese army.
As soon as the automatic weapons of Guan Tiedou and the others who were ambushing in the center rang out, other soldiers hiding on the wings appeared one after another, and gunfire rang out in an instant.
If they just used rifles to shoot the Japanese casualties, the casualties would not be so great, but the problem is that about 30 of Shang Zhen's group of nearly 40 people are their original people.
They all have box cannons in their hands. With Shang Zhen's specially trained shooting skills, they can hit people with box cannons within a few dozen meters, killing or injuring them!
Some military strategists have also specifically studied that when crossfire is used, the casualties of the target will increase exponentially. Therefore, at this moment, most of the Japanese troops have suffered casualties.
Some Japanese soldiers shouted and charged forward with rifles in hand.
In their view, the Chinese army was so close that it was time for him to use their bushido spirit to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
But how could veterans like Shang Zhen give the Japanese a chance to fight hand-to-hand?
Not to mention whether they can defeat the Japanese army with bayonets. They now have automatic and semi-automatic weapons in their hands, so why should they fight with the Japanese army with bayonets?
In this war, and even after this war evolved into World War II, the Japanese army's level of hand-to-hand combat was recognized around the world.
However, after suffering losses in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, various countries naturally had ways to deal with the Japanese army.
The Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army in the Chinese army couldn't fight with bayonets, but their skills were inferior to those of the Japanese, so they worked hard to practice bayonet skills.
The U.S. Army is an Anglo-Saxon race of European and American origin. They are tall and powerful. They cannot defeat the Japanese army with bayonets, so the U.S. Army, which has abundant combat supplies, issues a pistol to each soldier.
The Soviets, of course, mainly refer to the Russians. They are Slavs. They are also tall and strong. They can't fight the Japanese army with bayonets. However, the Soviets invented the famous Bobosha submachine gun.
And now the method Shang Zhen is using is to use automatic and semi-automatic weapons to offset the Japanese army's advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, before the dozen or so Japanese soldiers shouting "Long Live the Emperor" rushed into the thick smoke, they were knocked down directly in front of the village by Shang Zhen's group.
When the remaining Japanese soldiers saw that the situation was not good, they finally became timid and turned around and fled back.
"Don't let these bastards get away!" Wang Laomao shouted loudly, and the flower organ in his hand kept making "he, he, he" noises.
Seeing that his side had an advantage in numbers, Shang Zhen's soldiers appeared one after another and shot at the Japanese soldiers who turned around and fled.
And at this moment, Shang Zhen suddenly emerged from his hiding place. He actually rushed out of the bunker with a flower trap and chased the Japanese army.
"Guan Tiedou, stop shooting, don't accidentally hurt your own people!" Mr. Wang didn't expect that commander Shang Zhen would be so bold. You must know that Guan Tiedou and the others were blindly shooting at the Japanese army through the thick smoke.
Shang Zhen rushed out rashly. If Guan Tiedou and the others didn't stop shooting, they might accidentally injure Shang Zhen.
But at this time, Shang Zhen, who had always been thoughtful, seemed to be eager to perform meritorious deeds. He just ran forward with the gun in his hand, and at the same time, the flower trap rang.
"He, he, he," "he, he, he," every time Shang Zhen fired, a Japanese soldier was bound to be shot and fell down.
But in the end, two Japanese soldiers took advantage of the cover of the terrain to escape towards the river.
Shang Zhen raised his gun and fired again, but at this moment, the sound of empty magazine hanging came from the flower mechanism, and the bullets in the magazine were empty.
Shang Zhen carried the flower machine to his body, and with a movement of his right hand, he picked up the 20-shot box cannon hanging sideways on his body.
He was still pursuing forward, giving everyone the feeling that this time he was going to kill every enemy and leave no one behind!
At this time, the two Japanese soldiers in front also felt that their lives were threatened.
One of the Japanese soldiers suddenly turned around and fell down behind a ridge. He also set up his Type 38 rifle.
There is no doubt that this is a smart man among the Japanese. He knows that if he runs to the water and swims back, he is destined to die.
After the Japanese soldier lay down, he saw a figure behind him rushing toward him quickly.
The gray military uniform used a short gun. This was definitely not from the Imperial Japanese Army. Of course he didn't know Shang Zhen's name, but he knew that if he didn't kill the Chinese soldier who was chasing him, then He can only die!
But his rifle was already pointed at Shang Zhen, and just when he was about to pull the trigger, the box cannon in Shang Zhen's hand started firing continuously.
There is only a thin line between life and death.
And Shang Zhen's life was more than that of the Japanese soldier at the moment of pulling the trigger.
The Japanese soldier was hit by several bullets from the box cannon in Shang Zhen's hand, and he fell down and never got up again.
As for the Japanese soldier Shang Zhen, his speed was a bit slower after all. The Japanese soldier in front had already jumped into the water.
Shang Zhen held the box cannon in both hands and fired several bursts at the Japanese soldier.
But the bullets only stirred up a few small splashes on the water, and the Japanese soldier was not hit!
Seeing that the Japanese soldier was getting farther and farther away from him in the water, Shang Zhen held his breath, suppressed the violent heartbeat caused by movement and re-aimed.
"Papa." The gunshots started again, and the Japanese soldier was finally shot. Although he was not fatally injured, the Japanese soldier screamed because of the effect of the gunshot, and then it turned into a "Gududu". the sound of.
The Japanese soldier sank into the water, and water poured into his mouth together with the blood that flowed out after he was shot!
