The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 239: Beat up the Sixth Division

The Japanese troops who were rampaging on the street were attacking like they were herding sheep. Suddenly, a light machine gunner was killed with a single bullet. The other dozen Japanese troops had not yet reacted, and they were shot three more times in a row. .

Snapped

Snapped

Snapped

After three consecutive crisp sounds, the second Japanese rifleman was staggered by a Hanyang-made rifle round-head bullet fired from above. The bullet hit his chest at an angle and knocked him to the ground. .

Of the other two bullets, one hit the ground and bounced off with a few sparks, while the other directly hit a sergeant's head.

"There are enemies."

"Hurry and take cover."

The three corpses gave these dozen Japanese soldiers a big blow. Several Japanese soldiers yelled and stopped the attack. Some of the remaining dozen or so people crawled on the spot and began to search for the enemy, and some began to find cover on the streets.

There were also some who leaned against the telephone poles and lampposts on the street, shaking their heads in fear, searching for the source of the gunfire.

However, despite the efforts of these Japanese troops to search, no results were obtained. The Chinese civilians and defeated soldiers in front were still running away in a chaotic manner, and the streets were full of debris and corpses.

The air was filled with light smoke, gunpowder smoke, and dust, and it was impossible for a dozen panting Japanese soldiers to find the source of firepower in such a chaotic situation.

After sacrificing several lives, these dozen daredevils did not dare to move forward anymore. There was no large Japanese army behind them.

Because this multi-detachment of Japanese troops was actually the leading search force for the subsequent Japanese troops, they also had their concerns.

Suddenly, two more gunshots were heard, followed by a cry of pain. A Japanese rifleman who was leaning on a streetlight to look for the enemy was hit by a bullet in the lower abdomen. He let out a painful roar and dropped his rifle, lying on his back. Blood spurted out on the ground, and another bullet hit a Japanese soldier in the shoulder.

bang bang

A few Japanese soldiers who couldn't find their target were so angry that they fired a few shots randomly. But just after these shots, the Japanese soldiers found that the enemy army that had just taken away several of their comrades suddenly stopped and stopped shooting. shooting.

The battlefield seemed to have suddenly returned to silence.

As everyone knows, in the small building in the distance, He Wei is looking at them with a look of pitiful people. He ejects the last bullet casing from the Hanyang-made rifle, throws the rifle aside, and picks up the flower trap and the Two grenades, and then kicked the white flour bag that he had just used as a shooting support from the window.

"The enemy is there, fire quickly."

A Japanese soldier crawling on the street saw the dough bag suddenly flying out of the window, and pointed in that direction and shouted to fire.

Then, a platoon of more than a dozen rifles with fierce firepower covered the window where He Wei had achieved multiple kills. The dense bullets once again smashed the window that was already in pieces.

And just as the Japanese soldiers were ruthlessly ravaging the window where the white flour bag flew out with the rifle bullets in their hands, He Wei had already walked through with grenades and flower machine guns and came to a room within easy reach of the Japanese soldiers.

At this time, after the Japanese soldiers fired more than thirty rounds of 6.5mm rifle bullets in succession, they all stopped shooting and stared at the window where the white flour bag flew out.

This window has attracted the attention of all the Japanese troops. All the Japanese troops are nervously looking at the window where the Chinese troops are suspected to be hidden. When people focus all their attention on a certain place, they will naturally ignore the nearby situation. .

He Wei quietly raised his head and glanced down. He could see a dozen Japanese soldiers at a glance. He Wei showed a sinister smile, pulled the match cords of two long-handled grenades, and threw them away with a casual flick. Got out.

Two smoking wooden-handled grenades were thrown along the gap in the window and hit the ground directly. They bounced several times. A dozen or so attentive Japanese soldiers turned their heads when they heard the strange noise coming from around them. look.

But when these Japanese soldiers saw the grenades spinning on the ground, they only had time to make a stunned and horrified expression, and then they were enveloped in dense smoke from the mixture of TNT and Yu Ni in two explosions. The shrapnel directly tore these dozen Japanese soldiers into pieces.

Amid the soul-stirring violent vibrations, the two Gong-made long-handled grenades completed their mission, ending a perfectly effective attack.

At this time, He Wei stood up in the house and opened the window. At this time, more than a dozen Japanese forwards had been killed by him. The ground was covered with blood, broken weapons and broken limbs.

The team of fleeing people gradually disappeared from He Wei's sight. On the second floor where He Wei was located, bursts of explosions and shouts and orders suddenly came. When He Wei turned his head, only He saw that the officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion had climbed to the second floor and rushed over along the route he had just passed.

At the same time, dense footsteps and cries of shouts were also heard from the direction of the Japanese army. It was obvious that the main follow-up force of the Japanese army was also pursuing them. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion had already gone up to the house and occupied the commanding heights. Take the initiative.

"Battal Commander, the special agent platoon and my first company have already come up. Fang Jing said that the commanding heights on the opposite side must also be seized. He led his people to the opposite room, and the artillery company is also preparing."

Fu Chen, commander of the first infantry company of the special agent battalion, climbed over a window and ran to He Wei. Special agent platoon leader Yang Biao and orderly soldier Tao Heiwa followed closely behind. Yang Biao glanced out the window and when he saw He Wei After seeing Wei's "masterpiece", he immediately gave He Wei a thumbs up.

"Okay, you're welcome. What are the specific arrangements?"

"My first company and special agent platoon have already rushed forward, and a mortar platoon from the artillery company is following behind. The fifth platoon of the second company is intercepting the defeated troops on both sides of the street and is guarding both sides at the same time. Four of the second company's The platoon, the machine gun platoon and a mortar platoon from the artillery company asked Fang Jing to take them to the opposite room, and the sixth platoon was covering the artillery company at the street entrance to set up artillery."

Fu Chen said.

He Wei nodded and said: "Send someone to give the order to the platoon on guard at the street entrance. Don't leave those broken soldiers idle and let them participate in the battle. I think they have been frightened by the Japanese and have to fight hard." Only then can they understand what they are doing.”

"clear."

Immediately someone went over to deliver the order, and He Wei ordered to prepare for battle. The officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion who had climbed to the second floor immediately searched the house for all objects that could be used for fortifications.

Quilts, rice bags, flour bags, iron plates, all the useful things that could be found were piled by the window on the second floor. Rifles, submachine guns, and general-purpose machine guns were all set up one after another, as were boxes of long-handled grenades. They were opened and distributed in a relay, including long-handled grenades made by Gong and yellow phosphorus grenades made by Jinling. Some soldiers even placed unused explosive packets under the window, making a show of force. Throw the explosive pack like a grenade.

After the soldiers were as prepared for battle as possible, they all crouched down and covered themselves with the buildings on the second floor of the house as much as possible, and all the windows that were either intact or broken were closed.

The footsteps and roars of the Japanese soldiers on the street ahead were getting closer and closer. Although the sound of He Wei's attack on more than a dozen Japanese soldiers was not too noisy, the sound of exploding grenades could not be concealed after all.

The main force of the Japanese army following behind heard the gunfire from the front and immediately advanced quickly. Its strength consisted of about two infantry squadrons, which were the 10th and 11th infantrymen of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 45th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army. squadron.

"Move on quickly."

"Hurry up."

The leading infantry squadron, the 10th Squadron, quickly rushed over and was getting closer and closer to the ambush area for the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion. When the two sides were more than 100 meters apart, the Japanese infantrymen of the 10th Squadron immediately saw the Japanese infantry squadron on the street. After seeing the corpses of the leading soldiers, someone immediately shouted loudly: "Pay attention to the enemy, pay attention to the enemy, there is an enemy."

This order made the galloping 10th Infantry Squadron suddenly brake, and its speed suddenly slowed down. After seeing the miserable condition of more than a dozen top soldiers, some experienced Japanese sergeants immediately realized that it was thrown from a high place. The explosive effect produced by a grenade.

"Spread out, spread out, the enemy is above, pay attention to search."

“Go separate, don’t be in the middle.”

The Japanese troops of the 10th Infantry Squadron soon stopped advancing along the wide street. Instead, they separated to both sides of the road and carefully searched forward. Almost all the Japanese troops raised their rifles and alerted the commanding heights on both sides and upstairs. .

But the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion had already arrived one step ahead of them, and even took cover before them. Those Japanese soldiers who were on high alert saw either empty window holes, or closed or half-open windows that were broken. , no movement came from inside.

After being tempered in battle after battle, the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion have become extremely proficient in their concealment skills in front of the enemy and their calm mentality in times of crisis.

Therefore, the Japanese troops, who were confused by the good concealment measures of the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion, continued to advance without stopping to clear and search the buildings on both sides.

In this era, street fighting was still a new and unfamiliar topic for the Japanese army.

In fact, after several years of training on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army began to develop a very unique set of street fighting experience based on their experience in conquering cities and territories on the Chinese battlefield. In the middle and late stages of the war, they even organized a special team A group of divisions dedicated to street fighting.

Unfortunately, at present, they are still very immature in street fighting. What is even more unlucky is that they encountered a time traveler, a time traveler with an absolute advantage in ideological suppression.

As the Japanese No. 10 Squadron advanced slowly step by step, they first entered the firepower range of the special agent battalion, and then continued to search forward.

Then, the front, middle, and rear parts of the Japanese 10th Squadron entered the firepower range of the Secret Service Battalion one after another. Then, the leader of the Japanese 11th Squadron also entered the Secret Service Battalion's firepower range.

Upstairs, He Wei was squatting behind a noodle bag, carefully observing the Japanese troops on the street with the help of a fragment of a glass mirror, and estimating the number of Japanese troops passing by him. The footsteps of the Japanese troops below were even soft conversations and He Wei could clearly hear the friction between the backpack and the equipment. About a minute later, He Wei seemed to see another Japanese army passing downstairs, and in the mirror, he could vaguely see the figures of mules and horses further away.

Once mules and horses appear, they are probably Japanese artillery or machine gunners, or they may be Japanese baggage trains or headquarters units of squadrons and brigades. He Wei estimates that the Japanese infantry in the past consisted of more than one and a half infantry squadrons. look.

At this time, the heat is almost done.

Immediately, He Wei raised the flower trap in his hand and nodded to Fu Chen who was not far away. The messenger Tao Heiwa also came over carrying two grenades obtained from the Japanese army.

"beat!"

He Wei shouted loudly, pushed open the window, raised the flower machine gun and opened fire at the Japanese troops diagonally below the opposite side. The yellow tongue of flames spurted from the muzzle of the flower machine gun swept down a group of Japanese troops. Tao Heiwa also Two Japanese grenades with the safety pins pulled out hit the helmet hard and were thrown out, causing two explosions on the street, killing several more Japanese soldiers.

He Wei gave the signal to fire with the sound of a gunshot. In an instant, the upstairs on both sides exploded, and the rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, and general-purpose machine guns of the secret service battalion all opened fire.

Since there were officers and soldiers of the secret service battalions on the upper floors on both sides of the street, the Japanese troops on the street had almost no blind spots to hide from. The cross fire from the secret service battalions on both sides immediately enveloped them in a dense network of firepower.

The broken windows that had been silent just now were all opened, and grenades were thrown out of the windows. Within tens of seconds, nearly a hundred smoking grenades were thrown into the street. On the surface.

Many Japanese soldiers inexplicably felt their helmets on their heads being hit, and then they saw a long-handled grenade emitting green smoke under their feet, and then it was sent into the sky.

Boom boom boom boom

Amidst the violent explosions, plumes of smoke exploded on the street. A large number of Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground by pieces of shrapnel. The intensive explosions and violent gunfire even shook the tiles on the roofs of the buildings. has come to an end, and this is just the beginning.

Among the grenades that exploded were not only ordinary long-handled grenades, but also yellow phosphorus hand grenades made in Jinling. After these grenades exploded, they set fire directly on the street. The Japanese soldiers who were affected by the yellow phosphorus arsonist all cried for their mothers and ran around in chaos. They ran away, and then most of them were killed by the intensive firepower of the rifle machine guns.

Boom boom boom-

Several sounds slightly louder than the explosions of grenades rang out on the street, and several officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion yelled and cursed and threw down several explosive packets.

This time, what bloomed on the street was no longer blue smoke and red flames, but thick black smoke and flying gravel. After the TNT explosive package exploded, several bombs were blown out on the street. Big pits and various red and white human body parts that seemed solid, fluid, and slimy.

Long-handled grenades can only kill people, but this explosive bag stuffed with explosives is enough to blow people apart.

The street, which had been silent for a short time, turned into a bloody purgatory in just a few minutes.

"The enemy is above, charge up, charge up."

"Shoot them."

Of course, the Japanese Sixth Division, known as the Invincible Kumamoto Division, was not an idle bunch. After being beaten violently at first, it slowly came to its senses, worked out some primitive street fighting tactics, and began to make Corresponding targeted tactical adjustments.

Many junior officers and non-commissioned officers of the Japanese army with good tactical literacy resisted the fierce firepower of the special agent battalion and opened fire on the upstairs on both sides. At the same time, some Japanese soldiers rushed into the house downstairs and began to attack upstairs.

This is how experience in street fighting comes, and it needs to be exchanged for actual combat experience and blood. He Wei taught the Japanese troops of the Sixth Division a solid lesson today.

Some Japanese soldiers who were desperate for their lives were also red-eyed. They raised their rifles and light machine guns and did not dodge. They stood on the street and fired wildly at the buildings on both sides until they were sent to the west by bullets and grenades from the spy battalion.

There were also grenade launchers who fired grenades desperately and fired fifty-millimeter grenades into the rooms upstairs at the cost of their own lives.

The spy battalion also suffered casualties as a result, and officers and soldiers fell to the Japanese army's mad dog tactics one after another. However, these losses and casualties were nothing compared to the Japanese army.

Unfortunately, before the Japanese counterattack had fully begun, the artillery company of the special agent battalion gave them another heavy blow.

At the end of the street, Chen Xinsheng, the artillery company commander of the secret service battalion, commanded two tank defense guns and two Type 92 infantry guns captured from the Japanese army to set up an artillery position at the corner of the street.

The surrounding gunfire was also very dense, and rifle gunfire continued. Of course, these gunfire did not come from the Japanese troops on the street, but from the sixth platoon of the second company responsible for covering the artillery company.

And, more than a hundred broken soldiers from different units.

After picking out more than a hundred defeated soldiers from different units among the fleeing people, the Sixth Platoon of the Second Company used gunpoint to force these defeated soldiers who had lost their will to fight into the battle, and completely and completely executed He Wei An order to send broken troops into battle.

These broken soldiers indeed had no intention of fighting, but the platoon leader of the sixth platoon of the second company directly used his gun to hold these broken soldiers at the front, and the sixth platoon acted as a supervising team behind them.

In this way, for these defeated soldiers, if they fought the Japanese troops in front, they might still have a chance of survival, but if they retreated, they would be killed by the machine guns and submachine guns of the second company and six platoons, and they would definitely die.

Comparing the two, they could still figure out which was lighter and heavier at this time, so this group of broken soldiers also began to fire directly at the Japanese army on the street and participated in the battle.

As a result, the spy camp also gained more than a hundred new combat soldiers.

As they fought, the group of defeated soldiers gradually came to their senses. They were finally freed from fear, regained their instincts as soldiers, and realized that they could still resist, fight, and survive in death. Chance.

The Sixth Platoon of the Second Company also fired directly at the Japanese troops with rifle machine guns. While serving as a supervisory team, they also fought side by side with the broken troops.

This resulted in the Japanese troops on the street being attacked by intensive firepower almost simultaneously from the front and both sides. The streets were full of horizontal ballistics, and there were almost no blind spots to avoid.

"Hurry up, the tank defense cannon will fire explosive grenades. The Japanese infantry cannon will put the shells in for me and aim at it. Hurry up and hit."

Chen Xinsheng, commander of the artillery company, shouted at the top of his lungs.

At this time, at the corner at the end of Zhongshan East Road, the artillerymen leveled the two 47mm tank defense guns, shook the gun mounts to adjust to a direct firing state, and loaded them with explosive grenades used to kill infantry.

The artillerymen of the special agent battalion operating the Type 92 infantry gun didn't care what kind of shells they used. They just casually loaded the captured 70mm shells into the barrel, then flattened the barrel and pointed it directly at the Japanese troops on the street. .

They were not familiar with the use of Japanese infantry artillery and the shooting methods. Of course, they did not need to be familiar with it. The streets were full of Japanese troops and there was no need to aim carefully.

"Arrange the tank defense guns!"

"The captured cannon is good too!"

The artillerymen who had completed their firing preparations returned to Chen Xinsheng one after another.

"Free fire, kill them, let me go, let me go, let me go!"

Chen Xinsheng shouted three times in a row, and then the gunners pulled the gun ropes, and two 47mm tank defense guns and two Type 92 infantry guns opened fire almost simultaneously.

Two 47mm blasting grenades and two 70mm blasting grenades all landed on the street. With a loud bang, two shallow craters were opened on the road on the street, and the scattered shrapnel continued. A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed at once, and some Japanese soldiers were blown away by the shock wave generated by the explosion of 70mm infantry artillery shells.

After the first round of shooting, the gunners quickly reloaded and fired rounds of artillery shells at the Japanese troops on the street. Several secret agent battalion gunners who could not distinguish the types of Japanese infantry artillery shells also fired a seventy-year-old shell at the Japanese army. Millimeter shrapnel sent hundreds of steel balls to the heads of the Japanese soldiers, blowing the heads of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers into rotten watermelons.

The Japanese troops who were being beaten had no idea that the two Type 92 infantry cannons that caused them heavy losses came from the infantry artillery squad of the Third Battalion to which they belonged.

The Japanese army, which has always been famous for its fierce combat power, tenacity and the mentality of fighting to nourish the war, today also became the captain of the transport brigade for the first time, performing a drama of "I support the enemy, and I fight against myself".

Of course, they didn't even know that all their comrades from the Ninth Infantry Squadron, which also belonged to the Third Brigade, had also gone to the West.

Obviously, in the brand-new subject of street fighting, the Sixth Division, which is known for its fierceness, is no match for the spy battalion. No matter how tenacious will and fierce fighting spirit is, it is not enough in the face of absolute ideological suppression and firepower suppression. praise.

The price for the Sixth Division's learning now was massive casualties and merciless beatings by the spy battalion.

Boom boom boom

bang bang

Amidst the heavy gunfire, the battle continued.

And just when the infantrymen of the 10th and 11th Infantry Squadrons of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 45th Regiment were plunged into a bloody hell in the ambush of the Secret Service Battalion, not far behind, the 3rd Infantry Brigade's infantrymen The captain, Major Obara, had his hand holding the telescope trembling uncontrollably.
