Chapter 26 No Retreat

Unlike the Japanese lieutenant who had lost his will to win.

The will to win by destroying the Japanese invaders here was not important to the Chinese soldiers in the Sihang Warehouse at this time.

What was important was that they lifted their own hearts.

And the hearts of the Chinese people.

The 40 Japanese corpses densely packed in the minefield were their medals.

Having lost their mobility and the core long-range strike firepower in the squad, these 40 Japanese soldiers were already half done for. If they lost the support of both wings, it would be a catastrophe.

When more than a dozen machine guns opened fire at the main force of the squadron in the distance at the same time, and the main force of the squadron began to retreat frantically within a minute, the Japanese second lieutenant squad leader in the minefield knew that he was finished.

The few unlucky guys who were shot by the Chinese were actually just baits. The No. 40 of their infantry squad was the most lucrative prey that the Chinese wanted.

Now, they have stepped into the trap carefully laid by the Chinese and have completely embarked on a road of no return.

It has to be said that the Japanese were really fierce. After knowing that they had no chance of survival, they actually launched a counterattack towards the two infantry squads dozens of meters away under the roaring orders of the Japanese squad leader.

Flares were fired into the sky for free, but this time it was Tang Dao and his men who fired.

Nearly 30 remaining Japanese soldiers were holding Type 38 rifles with bayonets already fixed in the ruins. Under the cover of the two light machine guns' fearless and crazy shooting, they shouted "on board" and ran wildly in three directions around them.

The leader was a strong Japanese soldier who took off his shirt and waved his command knife with his bare arms.

Don't think that bayonets are all shiny. In fact, in order to avoid reflection and increase lethality, many experienced veterans will deliberately leave some rust on the spine and body of the knife, and only polish the blade before the battle.

Under the light of the flares, the knife is not shiny, but it is cold.

Seeing that the Japanese troops in the encirclement were so fierce, they dared to launch a counterattack despite the crazy shooting of nearly 20 submachine guns.

The Chinese people on the banks of Suzhou River stopped cheering, and fear appeared on their faces.

The terrible memory came back to their minds. It was these fierce Japanese soldiers holding bayonets who killed them wantonly in the prosperous city and drove them away from their homes to the concession to survive.

It must be said that when the Japanese army jumped out of the bunker to counterattack in the pouring rain of bullets, even Tang Dao Gujing Bubo's face showed a trace of solemnity.

Of course, it was not because of the so-called determination of the Japanese army to die. As the saying goes, a dog will jump over the wall when it is desperate, and a rabbit will bite when it is desperate! It is already a dead end, and it is a desperate place. You have to fight to the death!

He recognized the tactical arrangement made by the Japanese commander at this moment.

This is not to die, but to survive.

All the firepower points in the warehouse building were still chasing the main force of the Japanese army fleeing in the distance. In another five minutes, when they were free, the Japanese army in the encirclement would be beaten into a pile of minced meat.

Only in this period of time, as long as they could avoid the submachine gun fire and cross the distance of 40 meters, they would have the opportunity to fight in close combat, no, it should be said that they would have the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and plunge into the vast night.

Although the chance of survival is even less than 10%, it is there after all, isn't it?

Those who can make this decision within a dozen seconds must be brave and excellent commanders.

Unfortunately, this brave Japanese second lieutenant commander still overlooked one point after all, he was in a minefield.

For a soldier with soaring adrenaline, the distance of 40 meters may only take six or seven seconds to cross. But in the minefield, it is destined to be an unattainable natural chasm.

With the sound of a Tang Dao gunshot, the leading shirtless Japanese soldier fell down dejectedly. The shock waves generated by the continuous explosions and the flying bullets gradually engulfed the Japanese soldiers who were fighting hard.

The two machine guns responsible for covering the enemy went silent after emptying a magazine. Not only Yang Xiaoshan was staring at them, but also Lao Hei, the veteran of the 524th Regiment who was the best at throwing grenades, stood behind the bunker and threw more than 15 grenades in one breath.

Although the grenades across a distance of 50 meters were not as accurate as grenade launchers and mortars, it was enough. The grenades that kept falling and exploding relied on probability and finally used violent shrapnel to shoot several machine gunners of the Japanese army into sieves.

All the charging Japanese soldiers fell in the encirclement. The position of the Japanese soldier closest to a soldier in the second row was only eight meters away from him.

It only took 1.5 seconds for the Japanese soldier who was running wildly to pierce the body of the young Chinese soldier with green hair on his lips with his grim bayonet.

If you don't want to be assassinated, you have to hide.

Or, kill him.

However, even Tang Dao, who was looking over there, was a little worried.

He was the youngest soldier in the third squad and a new recruit who had only experienced the battlefield once.

Moreover, he had a record of avoiding battles.

Fortunately, the young soldier had just changed the magazine at that time. Under Tang Dao's worried eyes, the soldier did not hide.

He held the trigger and the 32-round magazine was emptied in five seconds, forming a terrible barrage with the muzzle jumping.

Bullets against bayonets.

Bullets win.

The 9mm caliber bullets dedicated to MP28 bloomed several blood flowers on the Japanese soldier, and behind each blood flower was an egg-sized wound.

Submachine gun bullets with a slightly lower muzzle velocity have insufficient effective killing distance, but their lethality is even more terrifying. If blocked by hard bones, they will immediately deform and roll around in the body, creating a large hole.

After losing a lot of blood in an instant, even a strong bull, let alone a human, could only collapse.

The explosions had subsided and the gunfire had stopped.

The Japanese soldier who was shot was still twitching slightly on the ground, and the young soldier, who was no more than 18 years old, was still pulling the trigger and firing the gun empty. The sound of the firing pin "clicking" was a bit abrupt on the suddenly silent battlefield.

"Kill you, kill you!" The young soldier's face was a little pale and he kept mumbling to himself.

Obviously, he was scared at the moment when the Japanese bayonet was only a few meters away from him.

But he didn't retreat.

Cowardice and bravery are truly reflected in a young Chinese soldier on the battlefield where everyone is watching.

"He's just a little kid!" An old man beside the Suzhou River burst into tears.

"Old sir, he is a young man, but now he is even more of a warrior. Look, he killed that Japanese pirate." The middle-aged man in robes was full of anger. "He can kill more Japanese pirates in the future."

. . . . . . .

"Niu Er, you've already killed him!" A hand suddenly tapped the young soldier's shoulder.

The young soldier turned around suddenly, and Tang Dao, who was carrying a spear on his back, was looking at him with a smile.

"Sir, I didn't run away this time. I'm not a coward." Niu Er roared in a low voice, as if he wanted to prove something to himself.

"I know, you did a good job!" Tang Dao nodded.

The young soldier suddenly burst into tears.

"Look at them, you will know how meaningful it is for us not to retreat." Tang Dao motioned to the crying soldiers to look at the other side not far away.

The soldiers with tears in their eyes looked at the people, and the people with tears in their eyes looked at the soldiers who were crying because they had proved themselves.

Although, they couldn't see clearly the light and tears in each other's eyes!

The light of the illumination bomb fell, and the figure of the soldier standing upright was annihilated by the darkness.

"We won!" The cheers from the other side became the final theme of the battle.

. . . . . . .

"Everyone, do you think we should fight this battle?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel, who was standing by the window, gently put down his telescope and pointed at the Suzhou River behind him.

"For them, I am willing to die!"

"I wish too!"

"Take me one!"

. . . . . . .

Sonorous and powerful voices sounded from the building one after another.

This is not only the determination brought by victory, but also because behind them are the Chinese people.

In the face of foreign invasion, everyone can retreat, but soldiers cannot retreat!
