Volume 1 Deserter's Bloodbath Chapter 52: The Grenade Stage!
The acting battalion commander asked this, but in fact he had no intention of recruiting these remnants. In fact, no unit of the 11th Division dared to recruit these criminal soldiers, as they did not want their brothers to be buried with these scum.
"What's the situation ahead?" asked the acting battalion commander.
"I don't know. Feng E has led his men to the front!"
The criminal soldier lying in the ruins replied, he couldn't possibly say they were wasting time here! If people knew that they were afraid of death and afraid of the enemy, they would probably be executed.
"Go call Feng E over!"
"Let the brothers hide on the spot!"
As the acting battalion commander spoke, he asked the brothers of the third battalion to hide on the spot. It seemed that he could not launch an attack at the same time as the two battalions on the left and right.
"Yes, sir!"
The criminal soldier lying on the ground could no longer remain comfortable, and slowly crawled on the ruins towards where Feng E was. Soon, Feng E ran back with a bent over .
"Sir!"
Feng E did not salute, but squatted on the ground and stared at the acting battalion commander.
"Lin Yuan died in battle. Are you now the commander of the Death Squadron?"
"Captain Lin had accepted his fate before, but that was only when we took down the machine gun position. It's not the same now!" Feng E replied in surprise.
"What's going on ahead?"
"I don't know. There was a Japanese Type 99 light machine gun and several Japanese soldiers in the ruins 50 meters ahead. We killed them all. We haven't received any orders from Captain Lin since then."
Feng E answered honestly,
"Captain Lin died in battle behind you. According to the order given by Captain Lin before his death, you are now temporarily responsible for commanding the remaining brothers in the Death Squadron. Lead your men and prepare for the attack."
The acting battalion commander frowned and replied,
"call!"
Hearing what the acting battalion commander said, the criminals around him breathed a sigh of relief. The criminals who had just been angry at Feng E for being too honest finally felt a little relieved.
"Sir, we don't have machine guns now, and we don't even have enough grenades." Feng E spread out his hands. What he actually wanted to express was that he had no ability to make these criminal soldiers obey him.
"You'll have ten minutes to reorganize the troops. I'll lead the Third Battalion up first. Let me tell you, the Third Battalion Commander Wang Zhongbin and the Company Commander Zhu Guorong have both died in the battle. Now we're fighting the Japanese, and not only your Death Squadron, but the entire 11th Division and all of China are sacrificing their lives!"
The acting battalion commander's heavy voice sounded. After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Feng E's answer. He turned around and waved his hand, signaling the brothers of the third battalion to begin the attack.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"Da da da……"
“Boom, boom, boom…”
At this moment, gunshots and explosions suddenly rang out from the left and right sides of the Suicide Squadron. The battle became intense from the start. The Japanese's Type 99 light machine guns did not even fire in bursts, but instead used long-lasting sweeping fire, which fully demonstrated the intensity of the battle.
"Crack, clang..."
A chaotic sound was heard, and gunshots were heard on both sides. The brothers of the Third Battalion began to bend down and run quickly on the ruins, rushing desperately to the other side of the street.
"Brothers from the Death Squad, come here!"
Feng E called out in a low voice, asking the brothers around him to gather all the brothers together. Now that he was being held up, he had to find a way out if he didn't want to be executed by military law.
Scattered criminal soldiers crawled over and hid themselves in the ruins around Feng E.
"Organize the equipment and count the ammunition. Also, what do you think? Let's talk about it. It's nothing that I was executed by military law. Aren't you afraid to go on the road together?"
Feng E spoke in a low voice. He really couldn't think of any temptation that could make these criminal soldiers obedient.
"I still have thirty-one rounds of ammunition and one grenade."
"I have twenty-four rounds of ammunition and two grenades."
"I have forty rounds of ammunition and no grenades."
"I have eleven bullets and two grenades."
…
The criminal soldiers answered one by one about the amount of ammunition they had, and no one said what to do now; when Lin Yuan was alive, they were used to obeying Lin Yuan's orders, but now there is no one in charge of them, and they just want to leave the battlefield at this time, but this is actually the most difficult, because the only way for them to leave the battlefield is to die in battle.
"Da da da……"
“Boom boom boom…”
At this time, the sound of machine guns rang out nearby. There were not only Type 99 light machine guns, but also Type 92 heavy machine guns. The Japanese finally opened fire on the attacking brothers of the Third Battalion.
"Get down!"
"Get down!"
The acting battalion commander was roaring, and the remaining criminal soldiers were also roaring. A turbulent stream of bullets was passing over their heads, and no one knew whether the trajectory of the next stream of bullets would become lower.
"Protect the machine guns, use mortars, and knock out the heavy machine guns! The second company will spread out, sneak up on them, and use grenades to solve the problem!"
The acting battalion commander gave orders loudly. This tactic was actually the national army's usual night combat thinking.
Inside the ruins where the Japanese were hiding, the buildings collapsed in disorder. In the darkness, there were a lot of muzzle flashes. The number of Japanese was unknown. The key point was that they were now under the muzzles of the Japanese's guns, which was the distance where the Japanese machine guns could best exert their firepower advantage.
The Japanese machine guns were wreaking havoc, and the remaining Japanese infantrymen did not shoot with their rifles. Instead, they each took out a Type 91 grenade from their bags and pulled out the safety pin.
"when!"
"Boom, boom..."
“Ah! Ah!”
A large number of grenades exploded in the ruins, and the small street became the hardest hit area by the explosion. In the fireworks, the Kuomintang brothers lying on the ground were wailing in pain.
“Kill!”
The Kuomintang brothers who were bombed roared in anger. Those who were still able to move tried to move forward, even if they had to crawl with their hands, and then threw the wooden-handled grenades in their hands!
“Boom boom boom…”
“Boom!”
The 60 mortar in the rear opened fire , and the shells fell directly on the ruins where the heavy machine gun was located, blowing up a cloud of mud, sand and rubble.
“Boom boom boom…”
Unfortunately, the heavy machine gun was not affected at all and was still roaring. It seemed that the Japanese heavy machine gun had a cover that could avoid mortar shells.
"If you can't hit it, don't hit it. Hit other machine guns. I don't believe that every machine gun has such a good cover!"
The acting battalion commander pointed at the three still roaring Type 99 light machine guns and shouted,
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The Japs were still throwing Type 91 grenades into the alley, and the National Army brothers were still struggling in the ruins.
"Zz!"
"Go to hell, little devil!"
Finally, a brother crawled over and threw a grenade while roaring.
"boom!"
“Boom, boom!”
After the first one, there was the second, the third... wooden-handled grenades and hand grenades came and went, constantly exploding in the ruins. Slowly, the Japanese machine guns were destroyed in the explosions of grenades.
“Go!”
“Go!”
Deafening shouts of killing rang out, and the Third Battalion launched a charge. The angry brothers crossed the alley and rushed towards the ruins opposite. The Japanese heavy machine gun could not stop their offensive.
