"Bang, bang, bang", "Bang, bang, bang", under the cover of several light machine guns, Wang Laomao and his men rushed onto the stone arch bridge.
And when they could see the houses on the other side of the river from the stone bridge, the machine guns in the hands of the people in front of them also started to make a "ta-ta-ta" sound.
Just as the Japanese soldiers in the house at the bridgehead were poking their heads out from the wall and roof, they were beaten to pieces by the powerful firepower.
The two banks of the river were less than a hundred meters apart. Wang Laomao and his men, who had rushed onto the stone arch bridge, were only fifty meters away from the other side. As for Shang Zhen, who was still hiding behind the stone lion and throwing grenades at the Japanese army, he was even closer to the house.
In the short assault, the Northeast Army's firepower still had a great advantage.
The Japanese army was skilled in marksmanship and their rifle shooting was extremely accurate, but the shooting frequency was slow. The two machine guns that the Japanese army had hidden behind the roof were directly silenced by the firepower directed at the Northeast Army.
During the charge, all the soldiers ran like the wind, even old Huo ran "whoosh" and "whoosh"!
But at this time, Wang Laomao and the others who were rushing forward did not notice that another soldier had caught up with them. The soldier was also holding a rifle and shouting loudly as he rushed forward.
"Hu Zhuzi, come back to me!" At this time, a man in Zhang Xiancai's company was shouting at the top of his lungs. That man was a squad leader of Zhang Xiancai's company.
Why did he shout? Because the soldier he rushed forward after Wang Laomao and the others was from his squad!
Just now, when Old Huo shouted "Charge", the soldier nicknamed "Tiger Pillar" also rushed out!
Shang Zhen successfully destroyed the most threatening firepower point of the Japanese army with grenades. Shouldn't they charge forward on this side of the river?
People like Lao Huotou and Wang Laomao are definitely going to charge. Zhang Xiancai has told me in advance that as long as you succeed in this charge, I will never let you charge in the front again.
However, the fact that Lao Huotou, Wang Laomao and others charged forward did not mean that Zhang Xiancai's company would also charge forward.
Just when Zhang Xiancai told Shang Zhen and the others to rush to the front, Shang Zhen and his people were just cannon fodder.
Zhang Xiancai, however, had a hidden agenda. Since there were already Japanese troops on the other side, how could their firepower be weak? He didn't care about the lives of Shang Zhen and his men. They weren't his own men anyway, so he naturally hoped to just hide behind and watch them succeed.
Aren’t they from the same army? How is it possible that Zhang Xiancai has no selfish motives?
So if the company commander Zhang Xiancai did not give the order to charge, how could his men rush up?
But as the saying goes, people are different, not everyone has such a mind. When Hu Zhuzi saw Wang Laomao and the others charging, he got excited and followed them.
In this case, how could his squad leader not call him?
Just from his nickname, you can tell that Hu Zhuzi is a stubborn person. Everyone else rushed out, and all his attention was on the Japanese troops in front. He didn't even notice that his squad leader was calling him!
"This bastard, if he dies, no one will know how he died!" His squad leader could only curse angrily when he saw that he couldn't recruit Hu Zhuzi.
At this time, seeing that Lao Huotou, Wang Laomao and others had already rushed down the stone arch bridge, and under the cover of Zhang Xiancai's machine guns on both wings on the Huaji Machine Road River side, Qiu Bo, Chen Hanwen and others who followed behind had already thrown out the grenades they carried with them.
Why did it take them five minutes to prepare after Shang Zhen proposed his battle plan before Shang Zhen ran up the stone arch bridge alone?
The reason here is actually self-evident. Shang Zhen's group can be said to be a suicide squad or cannon fodder. As the "battle captain", Zhang Xiancai always finds it difficult to refuse Old Huo's request to give us more grenades.
And now these grenades really worked, and seven grenades finally hit the yard.
Many ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that no matter how small the grenade is, it is not a small ant. With the "boom" and "boom" sounds of the grenade exploding, the yard was directly shrouded in smoke and dust!
"Charge!" Zhang Liancai finally gave the order.
Up to now, Zhang Liancai has noticed that within his field of vision, none of Shang Zhen's group who rushed forward first were shot or left behind!
Zhang Xiancai, who thought that rushing forward would result in heavy casualties, thought that this was simply a miracle!
And all this can only be attributed to the skinny guy nicknamed "Ma Ganer".
Zhang Xiancai was not familiar with Shang Zhen and his group. He didn't even know Shang Zhen's real name. He only knew Shang Zhen's nickname from what he heard from others.
Who doesn’t know how to take advantage of a bargain?
Under Zhang Xiancai's command, the people in their company finally emerged from the houses, haystacks and pig pens on this side of the river and rushed towards the stone arch bridge.
At this time, the gunfire in front had become sparse, and it was obvious that there were not many Japanese soldiers in the house.
People say that the Japanese are good at fighting, but I don’t think they are anything special, thought Zhang Xiancai as he followed the soldiers rushing onto the stone arch bridge.
The Northeast Army was said to have 300,000 troops. When the September 18th Incident broke out, there were some troops inside the Great Wall and some outside the Great Wall. It does not mean that all the troops had fought against the Japanese army, and Zhang Xiancai's company was just like that.
After the September 18th Incident, in order to preserve their strength and prevent resistance, their company withdrew from the north to Jinzhou overnight by train along with the main force.
At that time, there were trains one after another, carrying the Northeast Army.
The entire Jinzhou Station was filled with water vapor released by the trains, and even more than the water vapor were soldiers, who were everywhere, so much so that the platform could not accommodate so many trains, and the outside of the platform was full of trains!
At this time, Zhang Xiancai saw that the stone arch bridge was captured, and he knew that he could finally give an explanation to his commander.
But at this moment, an accident happened. Suddenly, intensive gunfire was heard on the left side of the stone arch bridge.
Amid the gunshots, more than a dozen people from Zhang Xiancai's company who rushed onto the stone arch bridge were knocked down in an instant, and the bullets made the stone bridge clang.
Zhang Xiancai first saw his communications soldier being hit by a bullet and falling down with blood splattered on the brain. He subconsciously turned around and looked to the left.
Only then did he see countless ochre figures appearing just a hundred meters away on the opposite bank.
Oh no, we’ve been ambushed again!
Just as Zhang Xian had this thought, a Japanese 6.5mm bullet pierced his head and he fell down.
This is the battlefield, everything changes so fast!
At this time, Zhang Xiancai did not know that as the supreme commander of this battle, he had made a fatal mistake.
He charged too late!
Those Japanese troops in the left front were not ambushed there at all. The Japanese army only sent an advance team to occupy the bridgehead on the other side of the river - that is, the civilian house, and now this large group of Japanese troops came over later!
Note: In Northeastern dialect, "this person is really a tiger" means that this person is really stupid, and "tiger pillar" can also be understood as "silly pillar".
