Chapter 72: Seize the Fort and Counterattack
There was no time to install the silencer on the two pistols, and in the flash of fire, the several Japs in front were shot one after another, and fell limply at the door one by one. The other Japs saw that the situation was not good, and quickly turned around and hid in the house, and began to aim outside.
Zhao Hu didn't have time to fight with them. When he saw the Japanese retreating into the room, he took out his right hand and found that the pistol was gone. Two original steel ball grenades appeared in his right hand. He opened his mouth and bit off the two pull tabs, then threw them in with a flick of his hand.
Inside the Japs barracks.
Over there, Chen Dashan also followed suit, knocking two Japanese grenades and throwing them into the window of the puppet army, and then swept them with a submachine gun, sealing the exit of the puppet army.
"Boom, boom, boom!" There were several loud noises in a row, and a large cloud of thick smoke rushed out from the two windows with various debris. All kinds of inhuman screams suddenly came from inside, especially from Zhao Hu's side, two grenades.
However, after the original American-made steel ball mine was thrown into the enemy's house, it killed a large number of enemy soldiers at once.
The two men kept throwing grenades into the dormitory. The puppet soldiers there were more afraid of death and did not move quickly. When they were in a daze, they all hid under the bed when they heard the explosion, but there were not many casualties.
The Japs here were elite soldiers. As soon as the gunfire rang out, they quickly jumped out of bed and rushed to the weapon rack. Zhao Hu threw grenades in without hesitation. After more than a dozen grenades exploded in a row, there was no more wailing from the window.
The two of them were about to rush in to replenish their guns, when suddenly there was a violent sound of heavy machine gunfire above their heads, and several lines of fire were like fiery red whips, lashing towards the middle of the bridge.
At the same time, Chen Long's roar sounded from the turret: "Boss, the Japanese are coming!"
The engineers also have guns. Some of them are set up next to the construction site to prevent anyone from sabotaging them. The other parts are placed in the work shed and are guarded by special personnel. When the gunshot is heard, the engineer who is responsible for guarding the supplies immediately picks up the gun.
Rush south along the bridge.
When the Japs carrying angle steel by the river saw the fire in the backyard, they all threw away the angle steel in their hands and rushed towards the station. There were so many of them that they had to get their guns first before they could follow behind and charge. Suddenly, there were sounds of gunfire, explosions, and shouts.
In the midst of the clamor and chaos, no one noticed that on the mountainside to the north of the work shed, two light machine guns had been set up, and behind the light machine guns, an 82 mortar had its firing meter adjusted, waiting for the Japanese.
Hook up.
Zhao Hu quickly ran to the door of the dormitory, picked off grenades one by one from the fallen Japanese, and handed them all to Chen Dashan, ordering him to watch the two dormitories and throw grenades if there was any movement. At this time, there was a sound coming from inside.
The puppet soldiers begged for mercy, but the two of them had no time to care about it. Chen Dashan had no choice but to loudly order them not to go out, otherwise the gun would not recognize anyone.
Zhao Hu heard the fierce sound of gunfire and ran into the blockhouse like a wind. He saw blood on the ground, several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, and one Japanese soldier was lying next to the radio and telephone, with several bullets in his body.
As soon as I touched it, I saw that the 18-watt radio, along with the battery, telephone, wires, etc., had been stored in the warehouse. Although this thing has a short communication distance, it is still a radio after all.
Seeing two grenade launchers in the corner of the house, and a box of grenades and two eight-round grenade bags next to them, I put the ammunition bag on my back without thinking, then ran upstairs with the grenade launchers and ammunition boxes.
On the second floor, there was the sound of machine gun firing and calls for ammunition. The air was filled with acrid gunpowder smoke. Chen Hu, who was moving the ammunition box, looked up and saw Zhao Hu, and immediately shouted: "Captain Zhao, you are here, little devil!"
There are too many, and we can hardly hold them back."
Zhao Hu glanced at the shooting hole. Sure enough, although the first group of Japanese soldiers were small, they still fought in a very organized manner. Some of them suppressed and fired from behind, while the other group lay on the bridge and crawled forward.
What he fears most is not the twenty or thirty Japs, but the large number of troops behind him who are rushing towards the work shed. Once they get the weapons, they will divide their forces and swim up the river, outflanking them from the left and right.
, people can pinch it however they want.
"Don't save bullets, use machine guns to sweep as much as you can. I'll go up and fire!" After saying that, Zhao Hu climbed to the rooftop in three steps and two steps, took a look to the north across the parapet, and put down the grenade.
Just get ready to shoot.
This place is only 34 meters away from the bridge head. There is basically no need to aim carefully. Just hit the cannonball on the enemy's head. Zhao Hu held up the barrel with one hand, put in a grenade, and yanked the leather rope, only to hear a "boom" sound.
With a muffled sound, the 89-type grenade weighing 820 grams can kill the Japanese within ten meters as soon as it hits the ground. Of course, they are all lying down now, and one shot can only kill two or three.
After a few shots, the attack on the bridge was stopped. The remaining Japanese were pinned down by the machine guns and lay on the bridge without daring to move, for fear of attracting bombing regardless of the cost.
Just when dozens of Japanese soldiers surrounded the work shed and were about to collect the bullets, the two crooked handles that had been silent on the mountainside suddenly rang. Xu Hongyuan and Chen Bao were mainly firing the machine guns, while the other two people were directly spraying oil on the bullets.
, they haven’t even mastered placing the bullet bridge yet.
"Click, click, click, click." The two machine guns swept toward the Japanese work shed rhythmically. Chen Baocai was playing with the machine gun. He couldn't hold down the muzzle of the gun. The first two shots were still able to find the target of the Japanese, but the last three shots were already high.
Ray, but the other bullets were not in vain. Those who had just received the guns were knocked down from behind before they could load the bullets, and fell to the messy construction site one by one.
Compared with his blind cat hitting a mouse, Xu Hongyuan's bullets almost bite the flesh. With only the first round of bullets, he knocked down the Japs surrounding the work shed one after another. He even had time to shoot five rounds into the wooden shed and hit them.
The Japanese inside just wanted to lie down.
The machine guns on the mountainside frightened the Japanese out of their wits. They didn't even have time to put out the torches, so they all lay down on the rails, beside the steel frames, and beside the work sheds. They pulled the bolts and fired. The two machine guns behind them were their death.
If the noose is not destroyed, there will be no way to rush to the turret behind.
After firing a bunch of bullets, Xu Hongyuan stopped. Because the two deputies were not competent at all, he opened the gland himself. Chen Shi's bullets slipped out of the bucket and rolled up into dust. This crooked handle
It's too deceptive, even if Xu Youfa is a very good shooter, no one can play it, not to mention the enemy's bullets are already whizzing around his ears.
"Xiao Chen, stop shooting machine guns and go play with cannons!"
The four people moved behind a large rock, where it was much safer. Although the bullets made sparks when they hit the large rock, they had no damage value to them.
Holding the gun barrel, Chen Bao carefully slid a shell into the barrel. Hearing a muffled "boom", the shell flew up to the sky for a long time with a roar, and then crashed into the crowd of Japanese.
"Boom" a ball of orange-red fire exploded behind the wooden shed. In the light of the fire, I could vaguely see several Japs taking a few moon steps and then falling crookedly.
Seeing the obvious results of the mortar, the three guys seemed to have been pumped. They were full of fighting spirit and rushed to twist the fuse on the shell and install the explosive package.
Here, mortars were pounding in one after another, and Zhao Hu was not idle. While firing grenades desperately, he asked other people to bring some of the light machine guns and ammunition in the turret, and also took a batch of grenades.
, ready to break out at any time.
Qiu Shan was overturned by the air wave of the explosion, and he still hasn't figured out how the other party managed to take down the tower without a sound. Just now, with the large number of people, they could swim over and form a siege, but now they not only have machine guns, but also even
There were cannons. He almost shed tears when he looked at a group of unarmed engineers. There were dozens of them, but none of them had weapons!
It can't be said that they were unarmed. In fact, they were more than one meter tall. Many of the Japanese soldiers held angle steel in their hands. Looking at the postures they held in front of them, their desperate efforts could not keep up with the intention of blocking the bullets.
Qiu Shan gritted his teeth and kept silent in his heart the old adage that a hero will never suffer the loss before him, and angrily gave the order to retreat.
As soon as the Japs withdrew, Zhao Hu ordered the soldiers to pick up light machine guns and chase after the Japs. As long as Xu Hongyuan from the opposite side saw the sound of gunshots, he would stop bombing.
As for himself, he searched the gun building again and didn't even miss the bullet casings when he left.
The remnants of the Japanese engineers took advantage of the darkness and hurriedly escaped to the east. Several people did not pay attention to the corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the barracks. They directly took the captured light machine guns and waited across the bridge to the north. However, Zhao Hu took the two heavy machine guns when he left at the end.
All the machine guns and bullets were received in the warehouse.
Walking on the bridge, holding on to the thick steel materials, I wanted to put them all away, but unfortunately it was not realistic. Many steel materials were too long, so I could only choose some short ones and put them in the corner of the warehouse. Of course, Zhao Hu didn't care about other people's bridges.
Due to the strength problem, after walking all the way, the bridge was already shaky.
After the eleven people gathered in Qiaobei, Zhao Hu found that everyone's load had exceeded the limit. Four crooked handles, two grenade launchers, a mortar, plus each of their own weapons, it was impossible to carry out all the tasks.
We had no choice but to find a platform truck in the north of the bridge, put down the angle steel on it, piled weapons on it, and headed east.
This is a manual rail car. Two people push it with their hands, and the flatbed car will drive quickly along the rails, saving time and effort. The load capacity is not small. All the light weapons in the work shed can be loaded, and it still runs smoothly.
Zhang Youfa was at the front exploring the way, and Zhao Hu was at the end holding the line. When he saw the angle steel along the way, he quietly put away it. These things are best used to make guns.
When passing by the overturned train, Zhao Hu stepped forward and touched it again. The train was entirely made of solid steel axles, plus the thick shock-absorbing springs. Everything was a treasure.
