Volume 1 Deserter's Bloodbath Chapter 58: The Riverbank of Life and Death (Part 2)!
The pontoon bridge built by the Japanese was not in the section defended by Feng E. The Japanese did not pay attention to this side at the beginning, and even the machine gun bullets only symbolically passed over their heads; as a result, the Japanese were hit by the side fire and immediately became angry.
"Over there, kill them!"
The Japanese officer who had just landed waved his pistol and loudly ordered the Japanese soldiers who had just stepped off the pontoon bridge to launch an attack.
"Da da da……"
“Boom boom boom…”
The Japanese who had set up machine guns on the river bank did not spare any bullets. Two Type 99 light machine guns and one Type 92 machine gun poured a rain of deadly bullets from the river bank towards the position of the suicide company.
"Puff puff……"
"Choo Choo Choo……"
Bullets from the heavy machine guns sent gravel flying everywhere, while bullets from the light machine guns kept drilling into the soil of the ruins.
Big Min was sweating profusely. He dragged his machine gun and hid his head in the ruins, not daring to shoot again.
"Let's go! Change our position!"
The assistant shooter next to him reminded Big Min,
"Leave at this time? Do you want to die? Wait for the Japanese heavy machine guns to reload." Without even raising his head, the big guy Min scolded the assistant gunner who asked him to move.
“Bang, bang…”
"Da da da……"
The long river bank stretches for hundreds of meters in the northwest of Luodian. The Japanese attack has always been about breaking through the center and encircling the two wings.
"Kill him!"
As more and more Japanese soldiers landed, they built simple defensive positions on both wings and pressed their main forces towards the positions of the Second Battalion.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The shells fired by the Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery kept exploding in the positions of the Second Battalion. Even the Japanese grenade launchers followed behind the infantry and began to accurately bomb the defenders' machine gun fire points.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"Da da da……"
The Japanese half-crouched on the spot and began to aim and shoot, thinking about the marksmanship of the elite soldiers of the 11th Division and the elite Japanese veterans on the front line. Bullets were flying on the defense line, the ruins were hit with popping sounds, and clouds of mud mist mixed with blood mist kept rising on the defense line.
"ah!"
At this time, no matter which unit it was, as long as the enemy had located their lord's direction, it would be difficult to resist the enemy's attack. On the ruined position, blood was splattering and screams were heard one after another.
"Little devils! Go to hell!"
The officers and soldiers of the 11th Division were not cowardly. They cursed and fired in the hail of bullets, just trying to keep the Japanese on the river bank.
Unfortunately, the roaring shooting could not stop the Japs' firepower.
"Puff puff……"
With angry curses, the soldiers on the defense line kept being shot, and the Japanese approached the defense line step by step with their bayoneted rifles.
"Grenade!"
The remaining officers roared and threw the wooden-handled grenades in their hands with force.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The grenade exploded more than thirty meters outside the defense line, raising a large amount of soil.
“Boom, boom…”
Similarly, the Japanese were roaring and rushing towards the Kuomintang positions. Type 91 grenades kept flying into the ruins and exploding, and the entire position was shrouded in smoke.
"boom!"
Feng E knelt and pulled the bolt. Another Japanese machine gunner fell on the river bank. However, the Death Squadron could no longer provide fire support to the main position. The only Czech-style machine gun could only fire like a guerrilla.
The firepower formed by the scattered rifles was too weak in density, and the Japanese had already approached within 50 meters of the defense line.
"Kill him!"
The howling Japanese soldiers were about to break through the defense line, and they rushed forward one by one, roaring.
"Brothers, kill the devils!"
Feng E was loading bullets into his rifle when Zhao Quan's voice came over: "Feng E, the defense line has been breached. Look to our right, the Japanese are charging into the position!"
“Kill!”
On Feng E’s right, the remaining brothers on the position stood up roaring, hanging bayonets on their rifles and shouting to charge!
"Kill him!"
Faced with the charging Nationalist troops, the Japs did not panic, but pounced on them one by one with ferocious looks.
"when!"
“Puff!”
The short Japanese soldiers were very sturdy. They stepped on the ground and rushed forward fiercely to face the counterattack of the National Army. The sounds of bodies colliding and the muffled groans of bayonets entering the body suddenly rang out at the front .
"ah!"
In the bayonet fight, the National Army was no match for the Japanese veterans. One brother was stabbed in the stomach by a bayonet and let out a scream.
"when!"
"Little devils, come on!"
The soldier who was stabbed dropped the rifle in his hand and held the enemy's rifle with both hands to prevent him from pulling it out.
"idiot!"
The Japanese soldier raised his lame leg and tried to kick the brother.
“Puff!”
But at this moment, the bayonet next to him stabbed over and pierced into the body of the Japanese soldier who was unable to move.
“Puff!”
The brothers who launched the sneak attack didn't have time to draw their bayonets and were stabbed to death by the Japanese soldiers who rushed up from behind.
"Go! "
The Chinese defenders had already suffered heavy casualties. More and more men kept rising from the ruins, swarming towards the breached positions...
"Feng E, should we go for reinforcement?" Zhao Quan was a little panicked. The Japanese light and heavy machine guns were no longer firing in this direction, and a large number of infantry were charging towards the gap.
"Da da da……"
“Boom boom boom…”
The Japanese machine guns did not stop, with the muzzles raised, firing at the rear of the frontline positions where bayonet fighting was going on. Their goal was to block the way for the National Army reinforcements, allowing the Japanese to capture the frontline positions as quickly as possible and provide cover for the Japanese landing later.
"Puff puff……"
The brothers who crawled out of the ruins were constantly hit by machine gun bullets, and fell down in the ruins with screams and unwillingness.
"No need for reinforcements, our mission is to hold the position in front of us; we are criminal soldiers and cannot make decisions on our own; keep firing, aim and shoot, and lure the Japs over here!"
Feng E roared,
"Keep firing!"
“Bang! Bang!”
"Da da da……"
At the Suicide Squad's position, gunfire rang out again, but this time the firing rate was still slow. After all, they no longer had any defensive pressure, and this was the time for them to gain military merit and earn kills.
"Kill him!"
On the breached position, the sounds of bayonet fighting gradually disappeared, and the Japanese successfully occupied the position under the cover of machine guns and grenade launchers behind them.
"Kill him!"
The Japanese did not stop. The Japanese officers waved their command swords towards the two wings of the breached positions. The two teams of Japanese continued to attack the left and right wings, trying to completely occupy the front-line positions.
"Da da da……"
“Bang, bang, bang…”
On the Qilian River, the Japanese soldiers of the 43rd Regiment kept crossing the pontoon bridge and launched attacks .
"Feng E, what should we do? We are attacked from two sides, let's retreat quickly! If we don't retreat, we will be surrounded by the Japanese!"
At this time, Min Da Ge was completely suppressed by the Japanese machine guns and was lying in the ruins and yelling.
"You guys are in charge of attacking the river bank. The rest of you, follow me and shoot on the left to block the Japanese from making a detour."
Feng E roared,
At this critical juncture, I definitely cannot be the first to retreat, otherwise I will be attacked by the supervision team. As long as other troops retreat, I can follow them.
"If you want to live, hold on for me. Pay attention to the friendly forces on both sides. If they retreat, we will follow!"
Feng E shouted loudly to encourage his brothers. If he didn't give them a little hope at this time, it would really be a disaster. These criminal soldiers would probably retreat uncontrollably.
