The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 184 Can be defeated, but will not be conquered

The sergeant crawled skillfully, crawling over the still hot corpses, and soon reached the marching line of the command squadron of the [-]th Squadron.

The command squad of the [-]th Squadron was swept down together with their unlucky squadron leader Shangyuan in the first round of fire from the secret service battalion. The corpses of the soldiers in the command squad were even arranged in a marching formation.

The sergeant kept charging close to the ground, bullets kept flying over his head, and his comrades behind him were knocked down and killed one after another. However, the sergeant who had experienced the hell in Songhu had already adapted to this situation, and when he crawled to the body of the squad leader, , the sergeant immediately rummaged through the body of the command squad leader whose head was blown, and finally found the signal gun and several flares equipped by the command squad.

"Second Lieutenant Noda, found it."

The sergeant shouted to Noda Takeshi.

"Run backward quickly, as far as possible, and fire the signal flare quickly."

Noda Takeshi is very smart. He can tell from the firepower of the Chinese army that this is not something that the [-]th Squadron can deal with, so the first thing he can do is to resist on the spot and hold on for as long as possible.

The second is to send people to send signal flares to the main force of the brigade and the main force in the rear to ask for reinforcements. However, the [-]th Squadron has been moving forward desperately these days. They themselves cannot figure out how many kilometers away from the main force of the brigade and the main force of the joint force. They can only Send people to run backwards as much as possible to close the distance, and then use flares to communicate.

"Machine gun team, unload the machine gun from the horse quickly."

"Where's the grenade hand? Where's the grenade hand? Use the grenade quickly."

"Squad leader, the grenadier was killed."

"Asshole, go find the grenade on him and prepare to hit me."

"Squad leader, I can't move my legs."

The ruthless crossfire on both sides of the road continued. After Noda Takeshi took over the command, the Japanese army's tactical prowess was quickly revealed. The squad leader, sergeant, and corps commander veteran yelled and commanded one after another, lying on the ground. The Japanese soldiers began to look for cover in accordance with Noda Takeshi's orders.

Fortunately, there are many large cars, carriages, and even truck wrecks left by Chinese refugees on the road. These things are excellent temporary bunkers. The soldiers of the heavy machine gun team assigned to the [-]th Squadron will be killed under intensive machine gun fire. The Type [-] heavy machine gun body and heavy machine gun tripod on the war horse were disassembled and assembled. The blood-stained bullet box on the dead war horse was removed and opened. The light machine gun crews and grenade launchers of each infantry unit also began to look for them. Take cover and prepare to fire.

"boom"

"boom"

The Type [-] heavy grenade and crooked-handle light machine gun, which were the basic firepower of the Japanese infantry squadron, did not fire immediately like the heavy Type [-] heavy machine gun. Most of the officers and soldiers in the secret service battalion were veterans who had been tempered by battles. At that time, they focused on the Japanese light machine gunners and grenade launchers.

The awareness of alertness is low. The Japanese light machine gunners and grenade launchers are very conspicuous in the brigade and marching state. The light machine gunners all carry the light machine guns on their shoulders. Although the grenade launchers carry the grenades in the battle backpack behind them However, the extremely large shape of the Type [-] grenade could not be hidden. Therefore, the support firepower special weapons operators of the [-]th Squadron suffered heavy losses in the first round of firepower attack by the Secret Service Battalion. Most of them were beaten to death on the spot.

Although the light and heavy machine gun grenade firepower was in a vacuum, the [-] rifles in the hands of the Japanese infantry had begun to fire at the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion on both sides. An infantry team moved forward against the fierce machine gun fire on the side where He Wei was.

The other two infantry squads maneuvered to the other side of the road. Although Japanese soldiers were knocked down at every moment, the Japanese counterattack preparations were not affected in any way.

Just as the main force of the [-]th Infantry Squadron was preparing to counterattack, the Japanese sergeant who was responsible for calling for help also began to run backwards. While bending down skillfully, he ran towards the bullets fired from both sides of the road. He was quite conspicuous among the Japanese soldiers who were already lying on the ground.

"Quick, rush back. We must find reinforcements. We must remember that the signal flares for reinforcements are two red and one green."

Noda Takeshi hid behind a Chinese refugee carriage, pulled several corpses of Chinese civilians as cover, and shouted loudly at the sergeant's back.

At this time, He Wei, who was hiding in the wilderness, could not notice the Japanese sergeant on the chaotic battlefield. However, he saw through the intention of the Japanese infantry squadron on the spot. Its main force tried to attack the opposite side of the road, only to A small part of the troops fired suppressively at them. This clearly showed that the tactical quality of the Cantonese infantry company on the opposite side was slightly poor, and they wanted to pick on the weaklings.

How could I give them this opportunity?

"Hei Wa, tell Commander Chen of the artillery company to fire the mortars for me."

"Yes."

Tao Heiwa ran along the traffic ditch for more than ten meters and waved the red conductor flag to the rear.

"Company commander, battalion commander has sent a signal."

The artillery company commander Chen Xinsheng was squatting in the trench and observing the impact of the infantry unit's attack. Suddenly, the messenger next to him shouted excitedly. He turned his head and saw the red commander's flag waving near the battalion command post. Chen Xinsheng immediately Putting down the telescope, he ran towards the artillery position not far away.

Chen Xinsheng ran to the position of the mortar platoon of the Secret Service Battalion. When the mortar platoon leader saw the company commander running towards him, he knew that he was about to fire. Just when he was about to give the firing order, he saw Chen Xinsheng running over and shouted: "Open fire, shoot the Japanese heavy machine guns first, and the baggage trucks."

"Yes, the entire platoon has them. Target enemy heavy machine guns and baggage trucks. Open fire."

The gunners of the two battle artillery squads quickly loaded the shells. With two muffled sounds, the two [-]mm mortar shells instantly flew out of the mortar barrel. For the well-trained gunners of the secret service battalion, At such a close distance, there is no possibility of missing.

"Boom"

With two violent explosions, two artillery shells hit the ground and exploded. A mortar shell directly hit a Type [-] heavy machine gun group that had just been set up. The Type [-] heavy machine gun was beaten into pieces before it could fire. iron.

The exploding French-made light steel grenade exploded, causing shrapnel and torn machine gun parts to fly everywhere. It hit the road and was bounced around, killing the soldiers of the heavy machine gun team and more than a dozen people nearby. A Japanese soldier. But another mortar shell caused a greater explosion and hit a Japanese baggage truck. Under the baggage truck were boxes of [-]mm grenades and machine gun shells, and on top were piles of It was filled with various materials looted by the Japanese army along the road. After smashing through other materials, the shell exploded in a box of [-]mm grenades. The violent explosion detonated the grenade in the box, and the road seemed to be hit. There was a big firework.

The dense shrapnel generated after hundreds of grenades were detonated instantly surrounded the Japanese troops of the [-]th Squadron into a death zone. The baggage truck was blown to pieces, and two wheels and axles were blown into the sky and fell heavily. More than a dozen people were killed. A Japanese soldier smashed him to death.

Among the looted materials from the baggage trains were many wooden furniture and various metal products looted from Chinese villages. Now these things have become the best materials for secondary killing, including countless cabinets, clocks, furniture , the fragments of the copper basin mixed with the steel fragments were killing Japanese troops on the road wantonly. At the same time, a box of fifty-millimeter grenade special bombs was exploded. The grenade smoke bombs scattered on the ground began to release thick white fog.

White smoke and black smoke mixed together, shrouding the Japanese troops of the [-]th Infantry Squadron, shouting and wailing everywhere, and then the second and third rounds of mortar shells followed.

The one who fired this time was the second platoon of mortars of the artillery battalion of the Secret Service Company located on the left side of the road. After the second row fired, the two artillery platoons began to fire a salvo. The four [-]mm mortars fired at the fastest speed. Speed ​​rained cannonballs down the road.

Boom boom boom, under the combined attack of such intensive artillery firepower and rifle machine gun fire, the counterattack arrangement of the [-]th Infantry Squadron disappeared. The two Type [-] heavy machine guns assigned to the heavy machine guns of the [-]th Squadron were quickly destroyed. Kill them all. Some of the special agents responsible for escorting supplies can't stand this tragic scene, and some of them are already running around on the highway.

Many of the mules and horses used by the Japanese army to carry supplies were snatched from the fields of Chinese people. These war horses were different from military horses. They had not received special battlefield training at the war horse farm. After being frightened, they fell into the white smoke and black smoke. Running around and bumping into each other, I don’t know how many Japanese soldiers I knocked down.

"Hit, hit me hard."

He Wei looked at the messy road, laughed and shouted, he himself also asked for a Czech rifle from Tao Heiwa and began to roll call the Japanese soldiers. Suddenly, two sharp whistles sounded, and He Wei saw When two bright red flares rose in the air, he secretly thought, this must be a signal for help from the Japanese army.

"Hei Wa, go and tell Company Commander Chen to extend the mortar fire and fire at the signal launch location."

He Wei quickly asked Tao Heiwa to pass the order. The fight was going well now, but if a large group of Japanese troops were attracted, the battle would not be easy.

Indeed, these two signal flares were fired by the sergeant responsible for the [-]th Squadron's request for help. This sergeant was injured by a mortar shell, but he still ran forward with all his strength, climbed up, and fired two red flares in succession. Flare, Sergeant lay on the ground, and while continuing to crawl forward, he took out a green flare.

He didn't know if the main force behind him could see the signal he sent out, but he knew that if the last green flare was not fired, the entire squadron would be destroyed. Just when he raised the flare gun and was about to pull the trigger , suddenly, a heat wave accompanied by a violent explosion enveloped him, and then the sergeant was blown away by the air wave generated by the explosion of the mortar shell. The signal bomb was shot out, but it was not knocked down to the sky. It was accidentally shot in a direction parallel to the ground, and it was actually facing He Wei.

"Get down, get down."

He Wei yelled and crouched into the foxhole, while there was the whistling sound of the signal bomb piercing the air. The emerald green signal bomb hit him close to the ground. He let out a sigh of relief, but luckily he didn't scream. This signal bomb hit the sky.

He raised his head again and looked at the situation on the road. The ambushed Japanese infantry squadron had been completely defeated. He Wei decided to end the battle quickly. He picked up a machine gun and jumped out of the foxhole. Fu Chen, who was not far away, shouted: "Blow the charge horn, all charge, the secret service platoon goes up first."

After saying that, He Wei was the first to rush forward, and the spy platoon leader Yang Biao also followed He Wei and rushed forward with dozens of officers and soldiers from the spy platoon.

"Come on."

The buglers of the first company blew the charge horn, which was also the death horn of the Japanese army.

He Wei and the brothers from the special agent platoon took the lead and rushed onto the road. There was thick smoke everywhere, and it was impossible to see the enemy inside. Three-seven-twenty-one, he picked up the machine gun and started firing. Then, the dozen machine guns and twenty-ring speed machines of the secret service platoon also opened fire.

“Da da da da da”

One by one, strings of [-]mm Mauser pistol bullets entered the smoke. He Wei held the trigger with his right hand and grabbed the handguard of the flower machine gun with his left hand while firing. Wherever the submachine gun needed to be carefully aimed, he saw Wherever there were figures in the smoke, there was a burst of fire, followed closely by screams.

As the mortars from the secret service battalion stopped firing, the three infantry companies and the infantry company of the Guangdong Army launched a charge almost simultaneously. Hundreds of officers and soldiers armed with fancy machine guns and bayonet-mounted Czech rifles and Cantonese-made rifles rushed in with shouts of killing. Coming up, although the Cantonese army did not have close-combat automatic firearms, several red-eyed Cantonese machine gunners also rushed forward with Czech-style light machine guns and fired.

In the face of the large number of close-combat firearms from the secret service battalion, the Japanese army had no power to fight back. The officers and soldiers fired with machine gunners in front, and the riflemen threw grenades from behind. When the machine gunners were reloading, the riflemen stepped forward and rushed in. Hit with rifle, poke with bayonet.

The smoke produced by the detonated grenade bombs has not yet dissipated. Some Japanese soldiers who were stunned by submachine guns were running around in the smoke. Some actually collided with the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion. They were greeted by Xueliang. Czech rifle bayonet or Guangdong-made [-]-year-old rifle bayonet.

"Come on."

"Ditch that mother."

"Kill it."

"Don't be a bad boy."

The shouts of kill and the high-pitched charging horns of the officers and soldiers of the secret service battalion and the Guangdong officers and soldiers converged into a torrent. They had different origins and different accents, but they all had the same identity - Chinese soldiers.

This unstoppable torrent soon submerged the Japanese troops on the road. These arrogant Japanese troops marched forward with great arrogance, chasing the defeated Chinese troops and killing innocent people.

Many people think that they are heading for a road of victory, a road of martial virtue.

Little did they know that what they were heading for was a road leading to hell. The officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion used the weapons in their hands to tell the Japanese army that the Chinese army still had the courage and sharpness to defeat the wolves. The Chinese army could be defeated and eliminated. However, Will not be conquered.
