Chapter 11 Bullet Crater Destroys the Enemy
After hearing this, Zhang Junhao quickly rolled back and crawled.
After Zhang Junhao climbed back to the trench, he handed the pistol and bullet box to Wang Jinhui and whispered: "Learn how to use it from me."
Zhang Junhao quickly demonstrates how to load and unload bullets.
After demonstrations twice, he said: "Only when the Japanese get closer, you can hold the gun in both hands and shoot at the Japanese."
Wang Jinhui nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Junhao looked at Wang Jinxian's eyes and said, "Be my assistant, no orders are allowed to climb out of the trench."
Wang Jinxian asked loudly: "What is my mission?"
Zhang Junhao thought for a while and said, "Press bullets into the gun for me, prepare grenades, and when I crawl out to kill the enemy, I observe the Japanese military's direction with my eyes and remind me."
Wang Jinxian said yes loudly.
Soon the edge of the trench was covered with bullets, and Zhang Junhao lay on his back with a gun in his arms, and sometimes he could see meteor-like bullets passing by.
Wang Jinxian and Wang Jinhui lie on the side of Zhang Junhao, one left and one right, listening to the sound of bullets flying, and their expressions were very nervous.
Commander Zhao shouted wildly: "The Japanese army is only one hundred meters away from the position, and they are all shooting!"
Zhang Junhao quickly turned over and lay on the edge of the trench with a gun in his arms, stretched out his gun, and a bullet flew past his ear.
"Bang bang bang" the sound of gunfire sounded like fried broad beans.
Zhang Junhao aimed at a Japanese army with flags on the 38th National Congress and fired, and the Japanese army fell down in response to the gunshot.
Zhang Junhao quickly pulled the bolt, pressed another bullet onto the load, and searched for the shooting target.
Zhang Junhao found a Japanese officer holding a command knife and immediately aimed at his chest and fired. After Zhang Junhao found that the bullet hit the Japanese officer, the Japanese officer knelt down and tried hard to hold his body with the command knife. After holding on for a few seconds, he fell down twitching.
After Zhang Junhao killed four or five Japanese troops in a row, the Japanese army transferred machine guns. Zhang Junhao was suppressed and no longer had the opportunity to aim. He could only take advantage of the opportunity to appear suddenly, and after firing a shot, he immediately retracted his body.
After Zhang Junhao's gun was shot all over, he handed the gun over Wang Jinxian, took another gun full of bullets, and continued to fight.
Under the cover of machine guns, the Japanese army approached step by step.
When the Japanese army was only about thirty meters away from the trench, Zhang Junhao began to throw grenades at the Japanese army. After throwing four or five grenades in a row, the Japanese army was bombed and retreated.
Some Japanese troops also threw grenades at Zhang Junhao. When Zhang Junhao found that there were grenades coming, he hurriedly hugged his head and hid at the bottom of the trench.
Zhang Junhao knew that if he did not destroy the Japanese machine gunners, he would definitely not be able to defend his position.
During the melee, Zhang Junhao suddenly rolled out of the trench and quickly climbed into a huge bullet crater more than ten meters away from the trench.
Zhang Junhao lay on the edge of the bullet crater, searching for Japanese machine gunners.
After Zhang Junhao discovered that the Japanese machine gunner was on a small high ground 300 meters away, he immediately raised his gun and aimed it. Zhang Junhao fired, but the bullet did not hit the Japanese machine gunner. Zhang Junhao retracted his body, adjusted the ruler, and lay on the edge of the pit again, firing at the Japanese machine gunner.
"Ten Rings!"
After being hit by a bullet, the Japanese machine gunner fell backwards.
The ropes on Zhang Junhao's position seemed to be suddenly broken, the pressure suddenly eased, and the gunshots became much denser.
Zhang Junhao did not retreat. After waiting for a few seconds, he aimed at the machine gun position again. Sure enough, another machine gunner was about to fire. Zhang Junhao pulled the machine without saying a word. The Japanese suddenly stiffened his body and fell to the side.
Many Japanese attacked Zhang Junhao from multiple directions, and the old squad leader shouted: "Junhao, there are more than ten Japanese in front of you, hurry up and retreat."
Zhang Junhao understood that he was in an extremely dangerous situation. No matter how high the accuracy of the 38th cover was, he could not fire continuously. When the Japanese attacked from multiple directions, if they stayed in the crater, they would be dead.
Zhang Junhao was forced to climb out of the crater and climb back to the trench.
Zhang Junhao discovered that three Japanese troops had jumped into the crater, and speculated that the Japanese army also wanted to learn from Zhang Junhao, so he used the crater cover to shoot at the Chinese army.
Zhang Junhao reached out to Wang Jinxian and shouted: "Give me two grenades!"
Wang Jinxian quickly took two grenades and handed them to Zhang Junhao. Zhang Junhao unscrewed the lid, hooked the rope with his little finger, looked at the bullet crater, and after estimating the distance, he suddenly pulled the fuse. After waiting for two seconds, he threw the grenade into the bullet crater.
With a "boom" explosion, three Japanese hiding in the bomb crater were killed at the same time.
Zhang Junhao looked at the second grenade and wanted to throw it away, but finally placed it on the edge of the trench.
Grenades are very precious, and it’s a pity to waste them. Since one of them is thrown into the crater, there is no need to throw the second one.
After the fierce battle was stalemate until midnight, there was no other sound on the battlefield except for the screams of the injured soldiers.
The Japanese army retreated.
Zhang Junhao was lying on his back with a gun in his arms, his chest undulating.
This is a temporary calm. The war tonight is only a temporary stop. After dawn tomorrow, the battle will definitely be even more tragic.
The old squad leader walked over with his waist, looked up and down at Zhang Junhao, and asked in a low voice: "Are you injured?"
This is the most sincere concern, and Zhang Junhao feels the heat surging in his heart.
Zhang Junhao grinned and said lightly: "No parts of the whole body are broken."
The old squad leader was stunned. The statement of parts was unheard of at that time, but the old squad leader could basically judge that Zhang Junhao was not injured when he saw Zhang Junhao's body.
The old squad leader nodded and said, "Very good! Your battle is so heartbreaking, and the Japanese actually focused on attacking you."
Zhang Junhao sighed and said, "It seems that I have to change my position tomorrow, otherwise the Japanese will fire mortars and infantry cannons at me, and I will not be able to save my life even if I have ten lives."
The old squad leader nodded and said, "Okay! Find a new combat position yourself."
The old squad leader lay down beside Zhang Junhao, and Wang Jinxian and Wang Jinhui quickly moved aside.
The old squad leader untied the tobacco rod from his belt, took out the tobacco leaves from a cloth bag and stuffed it into the pipe. He approached a branch of a tree that was still smoking, and inhale hard. The old squad leader coughed violently.
The old squad leader took a few breaths, sucked again, slowly spit out the cigarette, sucked it in with his nose, held his breath, and then quickly spit out the cigarette like he released smoke.
That scene was extremely ecstatic.
After smoking the cigarette, the old squad leader knocked the pipe on a stone, knocked off all the cigarette residue stuck to the pipe, looked at Zhang Junhao and asked with a smile: "Suck a bucket too?"
Zhang Junhao shook his head and said, "Forget it! I have sucked enough smoke in the past two days."
Major Zhang came over and the old squad leader quickly stood up. Zhang Junhao also wanted to get up. Major Zhang reached out and pressed Zhang Junhao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Lying down! You are very tired from fighting tonight, so you must have a good rest."
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Everyone is the same, they all put their heads on their belts."
Major Zhang nodded and said, "Yes! When you go to the battlefield, anyone must fight the Japanese army."
After thinking about it, Major Zhang looked at Zhang Junhao's eyes and said with a serious expression: "I contacted the headquarters through the radio station, reported today's battle situation and the operations in the future, and proposed to the headquarters that you will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant and appointed you as the platoon leader. You, me, Li, Squad Leader Huang and others will continue to escort the US pilot to the direction of Jinhua. The headquarters agreed to my proposal and will be awarded the rank to you immediately."
The old squad leader was overjoyed and quickly said to Zhang Junhao: "Congratulations on your promotion!"
Zhang Junhao smiled bitterly and said, "This place is still far from Jinhua! I don't know if I can live tomorrow. What's the point of being an official?"
Major Zhang smiled and said, "We must be confident in completing the task. It is precisely because the task is extremely difficult that we need the bravest and fearless officers like you to assist in command."
Major Zhang and the old squad leader Zhang Junhao joked for a while before leaving.
Zhang Junhao closed his eyes and went to sleep, Wang Jinhui snuggled up to Zhang Junhao and went to sleep. Wang Jinxian continued to search for grenades covered in soil.
Before dawn, a large number of villagers came with boiling water and steamed buns.
Zhang Junhao took the water and ate five big steamed buns, then grabbed two more and stuffed them into his pocket.
It was dawn shortly after breakfast.
Zhang Junhao and Wang Jinxian and Wang Jinhui, brothers and sisters, moved their positions with guns and grenades together, and lay down at a place with an old tree roots slightly higher.
Shortly after Zhang Junhao moved his position, the roar of planes sounded.
Zhang Junhao quickly took Wang Jinxian and Wang Jinhui and his brothers jumped into a crater. The three of them hugged their heads and curled up to hide at the bottom of the crater.
A huge bomb fell, and while the earth shook violently.
Zhang Junhao felt that his internal organs and six lungs seemed to be shattered and he felt dizzy.
A lot of soil fell on his body.
