Chapter 69 Gunshots

For Koizumi Reicheng, who had already rushed in 120 meters.

Of course, he could not have missed the sudden popping sound of gunfire in the warehouse and the earth-shaking screams from his mother tongue.

Moreover, he could tell that it was the crisp sound of the Maxim heavy machine gun, the Czech light machine gun, and the terrible submachine gun, which were the standard weapons unique to the Chinese. The sound of the Type 38 rifle belonging to the Empire was drowned by the popping sound of gunfire after only a few shots.

At that moment, out of the animal's instinct to protect himself, he wanted to stop immediately, and every pore in his body seemed to warn him that there was a huge danger ahead.

However, the sound of the Type 38 rifle in the building continued, "Ma Ma!", "Mu Mu Zi!" and other tragic screams calling for relatives at the last moment of life, even penetrated the high walls and were clearly transmitted to the ears of every Japanese infantryman who was running wildly.

The imperial warriors encountered the terrible light and heavy firepower concentrated fire of the defenders in the building, but they were still fighting bravely, and that should be the last desperate attempt of the Chinese!

Of course, more importantly, although the Chinese in the building were also shooting desperately, their accuracy was insufficient because the building was suppressed by as many as 8 heavy machine guns in the front fortifications 500 meters away.

There was not much casualties on the scattered soldiers with a distance of more than five meters between each person. Only more than 20 people fell in the charge distance of more than 100 meters, which was a completely acceptable loss for the infantry's desperate charge.

There was not much time for Koizumi Reicheng to choose. The Japanese front-line commander who followed the infantry to charge once again shouted the charge slogan of "board".

The Japanese infantry was forced to give up the last chance to correct their mistakes.

The well-designed ambush tactics in the building by Tang Dao, as the lieutenant colonel of the army said, not only played the role of killing a large number of Japanese soldiers entering the building, but also was a trap full of bait.

The bait is the prey itself.

When the Japanese infantrymen shouted "on board" again and rushed forward like a tide, the lieutenant colonel looked calm and ordered the signalman beside him: "Let Tang Dao kill all the Japanese in the building. The person he is waiting for is here."

"Yes!" The signalman ran to the stairs and pulled one of the ropes, and the copper bell tied to the stairwell rang wildly.

It was a temporary device for the command center upstairs to issue orders to each floor as soon as possible. It was very simple, but very effective.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" As the continuous gunfire sounded.

The remaining Japanese infantrymen fell one by one behind their last bunker. Until the last moment, they failed to throw a grenade to extinguish the bonfire in the center of the hall.

The blazing fire illuminated their figures, but used the light difference to completely hide the Chinese soldiers ambushed in the fortifications in several corners of the hall in the dark.

That was definitely one of the main factors for their defeat.

Or maybe it was not that they didn't want to, but the firepower network consisting of a Maxim heavy machine gun, three light machine guns and thirty submachine guns did not give them this opportunity.

Tang Dao and the six precise shooters he selected from the entire company were all looking for the Japanese who were trying to throw grenades.

When they saw all the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, Tang Dao led the soldiers out of the bunker.

Li Jiujin and Yang Xiaoshan had seen how Tang Dao cleaned the battlefield with their own eyes, so they were naturally used to Tang Dao leaning over to pick up the Type 38 rifle from the ground and ruthlessly shooting the Japanese who were still twisting and groaning one by one.

But this does not mean that others are not scared.

Fighting and killing on the battlefield and killing people who have no power to resist are completely different concepts.

The kindness of the Chinese nation for thousands of years is not just passed on through books.

At least, nearly 50% of the soldiers following Tang Dao showed reluctance on their faces.

"Sir..." Lao Hei hesitated and spoke.

"Tsk! What's the matter, Lao Hei, are you just too kindhearted because of your old age?" The old soldier sneered at his colleague. "If we don't kill them, will they stay in the building and have enough food and drink?"

"Bah! I just want to ask the commander, how convenient it is to stab with a bayonet, and shooting a gun wastes bullets!" Lao Hei is also a veteran, and he woke up in an instant, and made an excuse for himself with a slightly red face.

"What do you know! If the Type 38 rifle is not fired, what will the little Japanese outside do if they think that all the people inside have died and escaped?" The old soldier rolled his eyes.

"Oh! Right!" Lao Hei suddenly realized, and applied what he learned flexibly. He took out his Mauser pistol and fired a burst of bullets, completely silencing a Japanese soldier who was still crawling.

At the end, he turned his head and smiled at the old soldier, "We can't stop the sound of our guns, can we?"

"Damn, the damn old black has a smart brain!" The old soldier gave a thumbs up.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese infantry had approached 40 meters, which was the final stage of the charge.

The heavy footsteps of the Japanese infantry who had already rushed more than 150 meters before the charge were clearly audible.

If they were a little closer, Tang Dao would have heard their heavy breathing like a bellows.

The Japanese believed too much in their physical strength, Tang Dao grinned coldly.

In this era, the Japanese army had meat and fish supplies, which were much more nutritious than the Chinese soldiers who went to the battlefield with only a few baked potatoes and a handful of fried rice and noodles, but they also could not meet the physical requirements of fully armed and full-speed charge of 200 meters and continued high-intensity combat.

Even if the backpack, water bottle, and single-soldier engineer shovel were discarded before the battle, the steel helmet, the rifle with a bayonet, the bullet box, the grenade, and the leather boots with iron nails weighed more than 15 kilograms.

And what they had to face was not the pleasant green grassland, but a battlefield full of blood and death.

The role of the more than 80-meter-long first-line trench dug by nearly 200 people throughout the night was not only for the soldiers in the warehouse to fight against the outside world, but also had a similar function as a pit.

The trench was 2 meters wide, and if the strength was slightly insufficient, it would not be possible to jump over it. If you fall into it, don't think that the trench is only 1.5 meters deep and you won't die.

Don't forget, this is not a field battle, but a fortress attack and defense battle. The defenders of the building 20 meters away from the trench are high above, and they almost don't need to aim, just aim at the trench and shoot.

The three traffic trenches leading to the building are retreat passages for the defenders, but for the enemies who break in, they are death corridors.

Just put a light machine gun on the fortification at the end of the communication trench, and no one can survive through the 20-meter-long death corridor.

And now, three light machine guns have been set up at the end of the communication trench in the building.

Of course, there will be many Japanese soldiers who can jump over the communication trench, but so what? Tang Dao's three rows and Leng Feng's one row of two infantry squads, a total of five infantry squads, forty submachine guns and more than a dozen rifles have rushed to their respective positions.

It is said that when two armies meet, the brave will win. In fact, for the Japanese army, which has no fortifications to block and all holding single-shot rifles, this kind of almost face-to-face shooting with automatic continuous-fire weapons is a massacre.

The main force of the Japanese army arrived at the empty front-line trench at the moment when all the gunfire in the hall on the first floor of the warehouse stopped.

Just as Tang Dao expected, some Japanese soldiers were as agile as deer, using the kinetic energy of high-speed running to leap over the trenches, some were exhausted and fell into the trenches, and some simply jumped into the trenches and tried to climb out.

The formation of the 400 Japanese soldiers who rushed over like locusts instantly became a little messy.

The gunfire was even more intense than before inside the building.
