Chapter 48
Above the top of the beam, the individual bunker has been connected into a trench, half a meter wide and one meter deep.
All the soil dug out of the trench was piled up near the Japanese and reinforced with stones and logs to form a thick retaining wall.
On the retaining wall, a shooting hole about one foot long and wide is separated by logs and stones every two or three meters. Observing close by is like a city wall with dozens of shooting holes dug across the front of the trench.
The soldiers hid behind the shooting hole to attack the Japanese, which not only protected themselves, but also used the trenches to walk back and forth to support each other.
The Japanese army was located at the foot of the mountain, and the disadvantages on the terrain made them unable to see the mystery on the top of the mountain.
Zhou Cheng hid behind one of the shooting holes and saw the Japanese forward retreating in a panic, his tense nerves finally sootheed.
He was commanded by the guard squad to attack the Japanese and puppet troops and was defeated, and he was afraid that the positions under his feet would also lose their effect.
Fortunately, the hard work of dozens of prisoners for nearly ten days was not in vain. A row of people successfully repelled the Japanese vanguard troops, killing and injuring more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops. Only one of them died and one of them were injured, and they were all caused by grenade grenades.
Seeing the Japanese vanguard retreating in a panic, Zhou Cheng seized the opportunity to boost morale: "Everyone saw it. The Japanese vanguard was like us, and they carried a head on both shoulders, and they still died after being shot in the bullet."
"As long as our position is built strong enough, we are more cautious when fighting, and we will hide after firing the gun and do not show our heads casually, we can not only kill the Japanese, but also live a good life."
"While the Japanese have not attacked yet, everyone should hurry up and replenish their ammunition. Everyone should have three grenades and grenades on their hands."
"I aimed at the shooting for a while, and tried to kill a soldier."
"If you think your marksmanship is not good, throw the grenades accurately. Don't underestimate the grenades and the Japanese's melon grenades. If you throw them correctly, you will explode on the enemy's head. Even if the Japanese lie on the ground, they will be killed by a large area."
"Captain, some Japanese are coming here!" Xiang Feng suddenly reminded.
Zhou Cheng's final order: "The devils are coming up again, everyone is ready for battle."
"Based on my gunshots, no one can shoot in advance if I don't shoot."
More than fifty Japanese soldiers lined up with scattered soldiers and rushed towards the top of the beam.
Xiang Feng frowned and asked, "Captain, why are all Japanese soldiers and no puppet troops?"
"According to the convention, shouldn't the Japanese let the puppet troops come to the front as cannon fodder, and wait until we kill almost, and then rush up to get the bargain?"
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Don't care about them!"
"The purpose of our guard here is to use our positions to kill and destroy the Japanese and puppet troops with large numbers of vitality. Compared with killing the puppet troops, I am more willing to kill the Japanese."
"This is the fat meat delivered to your mouth. No matter what conspiracy the Japanese have, they will stay all of them since they are here."
"The machine gun squad is ready for combat. I want to kill all the fifty Japanese in front of me in one battle."
"After I fired, two light machine guns fired at the same time."
"Have you seen the two machine gun teams that the Japanese attacked with the team? First hit them, try to hit the target with one blow, and then hit the grenade launcher and ordinary infantry."
"The other soldiers are ready for grenades and grenades, and throw them out as soon as the gun sounds."
"One person has three grenades or grenades. After throwing them, you will use a rifle to name the remaining Japanese."
Xiang Feng hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Captain, if you fight like this, the Japanese will definitely vent all their anger on the machine gun squad. Can they hold on?"
"Yes!" Zhou Cheng answered confidently.
Compared with the last time when Okazaki was attacked, the machine gun castle is now considered a real castle.
Although there is no cement, there are logs and stones on the mountain.
The two castles have not only been expanded, but also added a top.
Logs as thick as thighs were placed next to each other, and two layers of them were placed interlaced, and then a layer of soil half a meter thick was piled up, and a layer of large stones were pressed on the soil.
It was a big stone that only two or three people could lift. Ordinary grenades hit it, and it could not move it except to scratch the skin, let alone hurt the machine gunner in the castle.
Unless they use mortars, they will not be able to destroy the castle even if they destroy all the grenades they brought.
Of course, this does not mean that the two castles are invincible.
Although the castle is strong, it only has three machine gunners inside.
If the Japanese counterattack firepower is strong enough, there will definitely be a blind bullet cat who will kill the mouse and fly into the castle and injure the machine gunner inside.
Without machine gunners, no matter how strong the castle is, it is useless.
This is Zhou Cheng’s confidence.
Futian believed that if the Eighth Route Army on Liangding escaped, it would definitely escape. More than fifty Japanese believe it, and the closer they get to Liangding, the worse their vigilance.
When the vanguard troops were attacked, there was still no gun fired on the top of the beam.
The Japanese were even more vigilant, and the rifle that was flat in his hand unconsciously pointed the muzzle at the ground.
The team leader held the command knife in one hand and the scabbard in the other, walked in the middle of the team, constantly waving the command knife to show his existence, which was particularly silly.
Zhou Cheng locked him in one glance.
Although the Japanese army had a strict command system and hierarchy system, if he was killed, he would immediately take over the command, ensuring that the command system would not go wrong.
But no matter what, he is the only officer in the entire infantry squad with a command knife, and has a considerable prestige in the team.
Killing him will definitely hit the morale of the offensive troops more than killing other Japanese.
While putting the team leader into the sight, Zhou Cheng calculated the distance between the Japanese army from the top of the beam in his mind.
Almost all the Japanese crossed the line fifty meters in front of the formation. When the Japanese closest to the top of the beam was less than forty meters, Zhou Cheng fired.
Two light machine guns fired at the same time, and the bullets covered the two machine gun teams like rain.
It is the Japanese instinct to judge the weapon style from the gunshots.
If there are only rifles on the top of the beam, the Japanese will continue to assault forward if they fight their best, and then rush forward for more than ten meters before throwing grenades on the top of the beam.
But the ones shooting were light machine guns, and there were two more.
Continue to rush forward, no matter how strong their individual soldiers are, they will still be flesh and blood, and will definitely become a living target for machine guns.
Without the command of the superior, more than fifty Japanese devils agreed, they all lay on the ground in just one second, quickly raised their rifles, and shot at the position where the gun was fired.
But their counterattack was useless. The machine gun fire on the top of the beam not only did not stop, but instead the more they attacked, the smoother they were...
All this happened in just two or three seconds.
When most of the Japanese shot one bullet and were about to continue firing the second bullet, a desperate scene appeared.
More than twenty grenades and grenades suddenly flew out from the top of the beam, flying towards everyone's heads.
Most of the Japanese were stunned, opened their mouths, and then they hugged their heads and lay on the ground, praying that the grenade would not hit them.
