Volume 1 Deserter's Bloodbath Chapter 64: Melee!
After receiving the necessary supplies from the 66th Regiment Headquarters, Feng E led 23 brothers across the alley again. The three wounded had lost the ability to move and could only be transported backwards. They successfully survived the bloody battlefield in Luodian.
After breaking through the Qilian River defense line northwest of Luodian, the Japanese continued to advance towards the central area of Luodian. They wanted to drive out the Nationalist troops that entered Luodian, or destroy them on the spot. However, they underestimated the fighting will of the officers and soldiers of the 11th Division. The ruins scattered in Luodian became a natural shelter against the Japanese attack. Under the leadership of the squad leaders, the brothers of the 11th Division engaged in a full-scale firefight with the attacking Japanese.
Unlike the battle along the river, the ruins and wreckage formed by the houses and courtyards made the brick-walled narrow alleys form a closed space. Once the battle entered a tangle, it was a pure street fight. The sound of gunfire mixed together. There were Type 38 and Type 90 rifles, Czech and Type 92 rifles, Type 92 and Type 24 rifles, grenades and wooden-handled grenades. Luodian was like a testing ground for light weapons. Explosions and gunshots continued to ring out, the shouts of the National Army and the miserable cries of the Japs kept appearing, and the National Army and the Japs fought in a staggered manner among the rubble.
Feng E led his men into the battlefield. They looked for a blank area that was not a front-line position. The sound of gunfire ringing in their ears indicated that the Japanese were not far from them. There were twenty-three people, and Feng E left eight people from the machine gun crew behind. In a collapsed house, Chen Hua and Feng E went forward and formed an inverted triangle formation. The three groups of people were about two hundred meters apart from each other.
Feng E still wanted to run away. Even if the two groups in front could not stop the Japanese, the machine guns in the back would cover their retreat.
"You guys, hide here and don't shoot randomly." Feng E instructed the five brothers beside him, then he bent over and continued to move forward.
"Feng E, where are you going?" These five people were the ones who ran away without caring about Feng E. Neither Min Dage nor Chen Hua wanted to accept these people, so Feng E had to force them to join.
"I'll go take a look ahead!" Feng E turned around, smiled, then jumped among the ruins with his gun in hand.
After finding a ruin with a good view, Feng E climbed down, took out the box of Mauser pistol bullets from his pocket, and loaded them into the clip one by one.
“Crack!”
He stuffed the entire clip into the magazine of the Mauser pistol, opened the bolt, and Feng E inserted the Mauser pistol into the holster again.
Fifty rounds of bullets for a Mauser pistol were not many. The Mauser pistol in his hand could hold twenty rounds of bullets. After loading two clips with the remaining bullets, there were only ten bullets left. Feng E did not ask for a paper box, but put the ten loose bullets in his pocket.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"Da da da……"
“Boom, boom…”
" Why!"
The gunshots from the front became clearer and clearer, interspersed with the sounds of grenade explosions. Feng E sighed, picked up the rifle again, tossed his body around, found a comfortable position for himself, and then lay motionless in the ruins.
"call……"
As Feng E's breathing became long and his breathing rate began to slow down, the sniper's instinct took over his nerves, and he finally entered the sniper's combat readiness state.
Feng E entered the state unconsciously and he didn't even feel the dull pain in his thigh. All he could see was the ruins shown in the sniper scope. Above the ruins, smoke, dust and rubble flew by from time to time!
"Five hundred meters, clear weather, light breeze..."
Several Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets appeared in the sniper scope, bending over and jumping left and right from time to time . Feng E did not rush to shoot. After all, the distance was a bit far and the Japanese soldiers were moving too fast, which made it difficult to hit the target.
The battle in the ruins was disorganized, with soldiers walking around in squads among the ruins. A company was responsible for a long line of defense. In front of Feng E was the position of the 65th Regiment, with a platoon of soldiers walking around in the bomb craters and ruins. The Japanese attack must have been to concentrate forces and advance step by step.
A platoon of brothers suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of the Japanese grenade launchers. Their only machine gun had been destroyed, and the Japanese were right in front of them.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The exchange of fire between the Type 38 rifle and the Type 99 rifle continued, and more and more brothers were lying forever in the ruins full of rubble, while the Japanese soldiers with rifles were getting closer and closer.
"when!"
A Japanese soldier took out a grenade, smashed it hard on his helmet, leaned back, stretched his waist, and was about to throw the grenade into the ruins in front.
"boom!"
Feng E's gun fired. At a distance of 500 meters, the Japanese bent down and kept moving, making it difficult for him to hit them. They paused and stretched their bodies, which was like seeking death. At this distance, Feng E didn't know that the Japanese were holding grenades.
"puff!"
The bullet hit the enemy's chest and abdomen, but it was unclear where it hit. Was he dead or not? Feng E quickly pushed forward, ready to hit the dead thing on the ground!
"boom!"
What Feng E didn't expect was that the fallen Japanese soldier suddenly exploded. A grenade exploded where the Japanese soldier fell, and three Japanese soldiers fell in the rain of shrapnel at the same time.
"Hmm? So lucky?"
Feng E muttered to himself and moved the muzzle of his gun, ready to catch the next Japanese soldier who was seeking death.
In front of him, five soldiers in the ruins were shooting hard, their Zhongzheng rifles firing continuously. The three Japanese soldiers who were lying less than 50 meters in front of them were shot into sieves in an instant!
"Hahahaha... our reinforcements are behind us, beat them hard!"
The squad leader laughed wildly, he thought he was going to die just now, but a bullet from behind made the Japanese soldier a martyr under his grenade. What could be more satisfying than seeing the Japanese soldier blow himself to death?
"Um?"
Feng E was a little unsure. In his sniper scope, the Japanese soldier lying behind the ruins was crawling forward. The ruins in front of the Japanese soldier covered most of his torso, and only half of his shoulder and half of his helmet were visible in his sniper scope.
"Fuck you!"
"boom!"
Feng E still fired. Now that he had no shortage of bullets, he might as well practice his sniper shooting skills!
"when!"
The flying bullet bounced off the side of the Japanese helmet.
“Crack!”
As the third bullet was fired, Feng E continued to stare at the Japanese soldier. According to normal thinking, if your helmet is hit by a bullet, you should quickly check whether the helmet is broken or not. Feng E was waiting for the Japanese soldier to raise his head!
"idiot!"
The crawling Japanese did not disappoint Feng E. The ricocheting bullet next to his helmet startled him so much that cold sweat broke out on his head. He took off his helmet out of habit, and his entire head was exposed from behind the ruins!
"boom!"
"OK!"
Feng E pulled the trigger steadily, and the bullet flew towards its target with a cheerful pace...
"puff!"
"when!"
The bullet passed through the skull, and a ball of yellow and white stuff flew out. The steel helmet in the devil's hand fell among the ruins, making a crisp sound.
