The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 238 Street Encounter

"idiot."

"Don't run, damn Chinese soldiers."

"coward."

"Hahahahaha."

On the streets with corpses and wailing everywhere, hundreds of Japanese soldiers screamed and chased the Chinese civilians and Chinese defeated troops who were running in front. Some Japanese soldiers aimed and fired while marching, while others simply shot into the air with a grin. .

Some ran and stopped, and once they stopped, they fired explosive grenades with 50mm grenades on the spot at the dense crowd in front. Many Japanese soldiers seemed to enjoy this kind of pursuit of the unarmed enemy civilians. Feel.

The Japanese troops pursuing them were the troops of the Third Battalion of the 45th Infantry Regiment of the Sixth Division. They happened to be He Wei's target, and He Wei's prediction was also correct.

This rapid advance advance team of the Japanese Sixth Division has adjusted its tactical deployment. Just half a day ago, Hisao Nagatani of the Japanese Sixth Division ordered the reserve team on the left wing to quickly go to Xiaguan to outflank and intercept the Chinese army. At that time, the left wing of the Sixth Division was the 45th Infantry Regiment. After receiving the order from the captain of the 45th Infantry Regiment, Major Shigetatsu Ohara, the captain of the third battalion, immediately led the reinforced headquarters in the direction of Shimonoseki. Advance.

Then, there was the battle that happened not long ago. The pursuit team on the right side of the Third Battalion and the Ninth Infantry Squadron were completely wiped out by He Wei.

But at the same time as this battle was taking place, the pursuing third brigade also quietly adjusted its tactical deployment. The 11th Infantry Squadron, which was originally placed on the left, had joined forces with the rear guard, forming a formation. A pursuit force composed of two infantry squadrons, two machine gun squads, the group headquarters, an engineer squad reinforced by the 6th Division, and a wing artillery squad reinforced by the 45th Regiment.

He Wei's worries and concerns after annihilating the 9th Squadron of the 3rd Battalion were not wrong.

At this time, this pursuit team, whose strength should not be underestimated, was completely unaware that the ninth squadron, a machine gun squad and the infantry artillery squad directly under the brigade had all become dead souls of the spy battalion, so they still arrogantly attacked the Chinese people and China broke out and launched an attack.

Most of the Chinese defeated troops who had lost their organization showed no resistance, which greatly boosted their arrogance.

As a result, there was a tragic scene of two infantry squadrons, two heavy machine gun squads and a brigade headquarters with more than 500 people chasing more than 2,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians on Zhongshan East Road.

The advancing pursuit team of the Japanese Sixth Division hardly encountered any decent resistance during the pursuit and mopping up. While these Japanese troops were red-eyed about killing, they were also red-eyed at chasing, and those who only focused on escaping, Like the defeated Chinese troops who gave up resistance, these Japanese troops also fell into a state of extreme madness.

"Baga, charge, kill them."

"Drive the Chinese troops into the sea."

Crazy shouts of killing resounded throughout the streets, and the clear gunshots of 38-guns and the bang-bang-bang shots of crooked light machine guns came one after another.

In order to pursue the pursuit as quickly as possible, Major Shigehou Obara, captain of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 45th Regiment, who was immersed in the dream of cutting off the Chinese army's retreat across the river, rushed the group of Chinese in front of him to Xiaguan and ordered the faster action The 10th Infantry Squadron and the 11th Infantry Squadron launched the attack with light equipment, while he himself led the brigade headquarters, two machine gun squads, the wing artillery squad and the engineer squad to follow up with all kinds of heavy equipment.

The pursuing Japanese troops fired wildly, fired wildly, and killed wildly. The Type 38 rifles and crooked light machine guns spewed out strings of red, whistling death.

Dense bullets shuttled back and forth on the streets, noisily hitting people's bodies, punching through windows, or flying to the walls on both sides and shooting sparks.

These gunshots were followed by continuous screams, groans and wails of pain.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At the same moment, hundreds of officers and soldiers from the secret service battalion were all running along the street. Unlike those Japanese soldiers who were swaggering and chasing each other in the street, all the officers and soldiers from the secret service battalion were running along both sides of the street.

The Japanese army was racing against time to pursue, while the secret service battalion was racing against time to rescue these civilians. Therefore, the deployment of the two troops was quite realistic. The infantry of the secret service battalion's first and second infantry companies, as well as the secret service platoon, all ran wildly. They rushed to the front, and the artillery company pulling mules and horses drove the mules and horses to catch up.

He Wei and Yang Biao were almost at the front. Under the leadership of Yang Biao, the officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion passed through the streets and ran for seven or eight minutes before they heard the sound of footsteps and painful wails mixed with gunshots. Following the sound that made the officers and soldiers of the Secret Service Battalion angry and worried, the officers and soldiers pursued bravely and rushed towards Zhongshan East Road.

The marching route of the common people was also facing the assault route of the special agent battalion. The common people fleeing on Zhongshan East Road would soon rush to the end of Zhongshan East Road, and then turn westward along the street to Zhongshan North Road.

Then, if you run along Zhongshan North Road, you will reach Yijiangmen and Xiaguan, which they regard as the last straw.

"Hurry up."

"Come forward and work harder."

"Fuck closely follow me."

The shouts of the officers and sergeants of the secret service battalion were also endless. Everyone wanted to rush forward as soon as possible, block and kill the Japanese army, and rescue the poor people. Whether they were officers, sergeants, or soldiers, they all used their last resort. A trace of strength rushed to impact.

Not long after, the first group of people rushed out of Zhongshan East Road and appeared in He Wei's sight. What He Wei saw were people supporting the old and the young, crying for their fathers and calling their mothers, almost filling the entire street. , and among the people, he also saw a considerable number of defeated soldiers fighting for the road with the people. Seeing such a situation, He Wei couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

"Battal Commander, that's them."

Yang Biao pointed at the people in front and shouted.

He Wei shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hei Wa, tell Company Commander Fang to leave a platoon to evacuate the people, try to find those broken soldiers, control them, unload their guns, and let them join the battle when their minds are normal." , and then send people to guard both sides of the street to prevent the Japanese troops from outflanking."

"Let the brothers move in along the sides of the street and not be scattered by the people."

"Yes!"

The messenger Tao Heiwa responded and immediately began to repeat the order backwards. The flow of officers and soldiers from the secret service camp quickly moved closer to both sides of the street, making way for the fleeing people. Less than half a minute later, , the two streams of people crossed each other.

The officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion advanced towards Zhongshan East Road from both sides of the street and attacked. The civilians who escaped from Zhongshan East Road were caught in the middle and continued to flee along the main street.

The moment the two teams crossed paths, He Wei picked up the box cannon and fired a few shots into the sky. Then he quickly ran a few steps to the right and pulled out the three soldiers who were rushing to the front.

The three defeated soldiers were completely immersed in extreme fear. They had not yet reacted when they were pulled out by He Wei. After being pulled to the street by He Wei, they saw someone blocking their way out. Angry eyes widened.

One of the defeated soldiers carrying a rifle made in Hanyang picked up the gun and was about to hit He Wei. But before he could raise the gun, He Wei's speed machine had already blown off his Tianling cap, and the bullet penetrated the weak coarse cloth military cap. , knocking it to the ground. This shot immediately frightened the other two defeated soldiers, and the white brains mixed with blood even stuck to the faces of the two defeated soldiers, which stunned the two defeated soldiers at that time.

"Fucking eggless thing."

He Wei immediately picked up the Hanyang-made soldier who was defeated and carried it behind his back. He also pulled down the two grenade bags on the chest of the defeated soldier and the three five-round clips in the bullet belt. He dropped a taunt and shook his head. He continued to rush to the front of the team without looking back.

"Fifth platoon, stop advancing and follow the battalion commander's order."

Following the shouts of Fang Jing, commander of the second infantry company, the officers and soldiers of the fifth platoon of the second company immediately stopped advancing, and the two infantry squads began to take a detour to the street intersections on both sides of Zhongshan East Road to prevent the Japanese from outflanking them.

The officers and soldiers of the other infantry squad and the machine gun squad began to wave their weapons in the ranks of the civilians, beating and kicking them to pull out the defeated soldiers who were mixed with the civilians.

He Wei quickly rushed to the corner at the end of Zhongshan East Road, and at the corner, he saw a dense crowd and dense gunfire. He could also hear the shouts of the Japanese, but the dense crowd was completely It blocked his sight and he couldn't see the Japanese at all, let alone aim and shoot.

The whole street was in chaos. At the corner of Zhongshan East Road, although the soldiers of the special agent battalion were facing the Japanese army, they were blocked by the civilians and could not open fire at all. The same was true for the Japanese army. The two sides were not far apart, but they could not see each other. , out of reach, all direct-fire firearms lose their effectiveness at this time.

If you want to fight, you can't fight now. You can only wait until all the people turn around and run away before you can face the Japanese army chasing behind them.

At this time, Yang Biao led the spy platoon, and Fu Chen, commander of the first company, and his brothers from the first company also arrived one after another.

"Batalion Commander, what should we do?"

He Wei glanced at the buildings on both sides of the street. The buildings on both sides of the street were not the most modern reinforced concrete buildings, but antique two or three-story buildings, with pavilions and slightly leaning brick buildings on each floor. From time to time, some bullets fired randomly by the Japanese soldiers flew to the roof and hit the bricks, shattering the flat roof tiles like flowers.

"Let the brothers go to the house, go upstairs, and shoot the damn thing from above. Tell the artillery company to hurry up and bring the mortars upstairs to shoot. When the people pass by, then put the captured infantry guns at the street to block them. The devil did it."

"Understood, brothers, take a ladder and find something to stand on and climb up."

Yang Biao shouted to convey He Wei's order, and Tao Heiwa also ran to convey the order to the following troops of the first and second companies.

At this critical moment, before the two men had finished conveying their orders, they saw He Wei first throwing the flower machine gun and Hanyang-made rifle he was carrying onto the second floor. Then He Wei took a few steps back and shouted. He used his strength to run hard, stepped on the wall and made a big jump to reach the railing on the second floor.

Then, as if he was practicing on a horizontal bar, He Wei grabbed the railing and rocked it back and forth a few times, did a half-circle crunch, roared and used all his strength to wrap his body around the railing of the second floor pavilion, grabbing I climbed up the railing erected in the pavilion to the second floor little by little, and then got in through a large gap in the railing.

He Wei just climbed up and immediately picked up the Hanyang-made and flower machine gun, and then prepared to start a fight. However, when he reached the second floor, he found that the situation was more serious than he thought.

The number of civilians was much larger than he expected, and the Japanese army's firepower pursuit was also very fierce. As soon as he climbed up, he saw a grenade falling in the crowd. After an explosion, the street Suddenly a burst of red blood mist rose up, various intensive gunshots could be heard, and the whole street was filled with smoke.

He Wei carried his weapon and decisively climbed through the window and entered the house. Then he quickly shuttled through the house on the second floor and rushed forward. Compared with the modern reinforced concrete building, the biggest difference is that There are no hard walls between the houses, there are a large number of windows, and they are mainly made of wooden structures.

Therefore, He Wei's progress was quite smooth. He ran all the way and advanced almost seven or eight hundred meters upstairs. But what happened next made He Wei immediately realize the benefits of modern architecture.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

Without any warning, a string of bullets suddenly hit the window beside He Wei's eyes.

With a crashing sound, the window was hit by bullets and torn into small pieces. The room was suddenly filled with flying wood chips and broken glass, with rotten wooden window panes. The bullets that penetrated the windows were flying in the distance. It flew over less than two meters away and hit the ceiling with a thud, shattering the hanging lights, and finally revealed one hole after another in the ceiling.

He Wei immediately rushed into another room and listened to the gunshots getting closer and closer. He finally gave up and continued to move forward. He used a Hanyang-made rifle to smash open the nearest window that allowed him to observe the street from a high position.

Looking out from the window, He Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was still a group of ordinary people below. He also found a few bags of white flour from the house and piled them in front of the window. He also found Hanyang-made rifles and grenade bags on the defeated soldiers, as well as His floral machine gun was placed on the dough bag.

He Wei raised his binoculars, and saw the foggy smoke shrouding the streets. The people's team was still there, and it was still at least five or six hundred meters away from him until the end. However, further away, the Japanese army could not be seen at all.

Because there was already a fire on the street, thick smoke rising, and the foggy gun smoke, He Wei could not determine the number and situation of the following Japanese troops.

At such a long distance, we could only wait, and when the Japanese troops appeared, they could only shoot with rifles.

Zila - Pulling open the bolt of this unfamiliar rifle, a yellow-orange 7.92mm round-head ammunition was pulled out diagonally by the ejection ejector. He Wei glanced at the chamber of the Hanyang-made rifle and pressed it. The button in front of the trigger and in front of the bow guard.

With a bang, the grappling hook holding the missing clip in the magazine was released, and a missing clip with only one bullet left popped out of the magazine.

He Wei pulled out the leaky clip from the gun. After clearing the gun, he put in a complete leaky clip containing five rounds of 7.92mm round-head bullets. He pulled the bolt, cocked the chamber and fired. He Wei raised it again. Telescope observation.

This time, time seemed to go very fast. The end of the long queue of people quickly passed by his position. Then a strong wind blew away, blowing away the gunpowder smoke and thick smoke on the street. The situation on the street behind suddenly changed. It became much clearer. After the smoke dissipated slightly, He Wei immediately saw a dozen Japanese troops rushing towards him through the telescope.

I saw these dozen reckless vanguards running rampant on the street, chasing the people with guns and beating them with rifles and light machine guns. They chased and shot at random. The string of machine gun bullets that almost hit He Wei just now , should be the masterpiece of this group of devils shooting randomly.

Within a distance of nearly 100 meters behind them, He Wei did not see any more Japanese troops appearing, only some more scattered pursuers. This just showed that this group of Japanese soldiers were in the vanguard and were far away from the main force of the Japanese troops behind them. distance.

He Wei immediately picked up the Hanyang-made rifle, leaned forward slightly, slowed down his breathing rate, adjusted the scale of the rifle to 150 meters, and took a brief aim at the Japanese troops rushing at the front.

This strong Japanese soldier was holding a light machine gun with a crooked handle. He was charging and hitting, and he kept shouting and yelling.

He Wei carefully estimated the distance. When the Japanese soldier rushed to the place, He Wei pulled the trigger fiercely. A cloud of green smoke came out of the muzzle, and a 7.92mm round-head bullet flew out with a snap. It tore the air apart, pierced the Japanese soldier's neck with a condescending tilt, and exploded a cloud of blood mist in the air.

The Japanese soldier holding the machine gun continued to pursue him after being hit. The body continued to move forward a few steps before falling to the ground. The crooked light machine gun in his hand was also thrown out. After rolling on the ground a few times, he fell to the ground.
