Chapter 272 The Beginning of Street Fighting
The reaction of another Japanese soldier was fast enough. The first moment his companion was shot, he immediately fell to the ground. While reducing the bullet-receiving surface, he quickly rolled under the eaves of the shop on the side of the long street.
So, he escaped.
"Bang!" followed by a gunshot, a bullet hit the ancient bluestone road that had experienced two hundred years of wind and rain, and a puff of blue smoke came out.
The light machine gunner occupying the roof of a two-story building immediately aimed his gun at the densely packed residential buildings below, only Baga's! Where are the Chinese?
Based on the location where the fallen Japanese soldier was shot, the light machine gunner could only determine the general direction, which should be to his side.
But he couldn't open fire recklessly. Among the densely packed residences, his companions might be among them.
The fire support that the Japanese army was familiar with was completely useless at this moment.
Tang Dao has long told the officers of the security group that here, a precise shooter may be more useful than a heavy machine gun. And the reason why the security group used light machine guns was only to focus fire, not for fire support.
The soldiers of the security regiment with their guns out, like Second Lieutenant Crow, were hiding in the shops on both sides of the street.
The structure of the shops here is extremely complex. They don't just have a facade and warehouse like ordinary shops. There is often a living area behind a shop, and it is even connected to several families. A family may rely on this shop to live. .
Moreover, the 2,000 members of the Songjiang Security Group spent a day and a night here not just to have fun as usual. Based on Tang Dao's street fighting skills and their own understanding, they opened passages in some hidden corners to complete this intricate area. The shops are almost integrated into one whole.
When the Japanese army was searching, they might hide in one of the rooms, wait for the Japanese army to finish searching other rooms, and then quickly pass through the passage and then enter the searched room. This kind of hide-and-seek lurking was a first-time experience for the Japanese infantry. It is definitely an existence that is difficult to prevent.
Even now, when the alarmed Japanese troops threw away their supplies and moved closer to the main road of Zhongshan Street, they did not see the dark holes peeking out of the inconspicuous windows, wall stacks, and even dog holes. Muzzle, shoot.
The rifles were also mixed with shell guns and light machine guns. The firepower that burst out in an instant definitely exceeded that of a Japanese infantry squadron.
Some Japanese soldiers are so close that there is no need to aim at all. This is a battle stage where the old master can be beaten to death with random punches.
“Bang, bang, bang!” A burst of gunfire caused the Japanese on the street to roar and howl. In just five or six seconds, at least eight or nine Japanese were shot.
The happier ones were shot in the vitals, lost all their strength, screamed for a minute or two, and then died naturally. The most unfortunate ones were those who were shot in the thigh or torso, and desperately crawled into the shops on both sides in a **** mess. A slow target will become the target of the second round of bullets. It's okay to hit it accurately, but if you don't hit it accurately, you can only get another shot.
Within these ten seconds, the chaotic firepower fired from all directions around Zhongshan Long Street had the absolute upper hand.
Three or four Japanese soldiers on the long street fell, and seven or eight Japanese soldiers still in the houses fell. However, the Japanese soldiers on the long street still subconsciously hid in the shops whose wooden doors were broken open by them. .
Houses are bunkers, that's human nature.
As the squadron leader, Captain Kato Hideo was the initiator of the order to plunder the property. Of course, he would not relax his vigilance on this extremely dangerous battlefield.
From the very beginning, he did not participate in his subordinates' plundering the dazzling property by taking advantage of the search opportunity. Instead, he hid his body in a corner, where the angle between the walls could block possible possibilities on the left and right. The bullets fired, and the 94 armored vehicle parked in the middle of the road in front of him, could help him block the cold shots that might be fired at any time from the quiet residence opposite.
It was an absolutely safe position, but what the Japanese captain did not expect was that the Chinese would shoot and attack without concealment. You know, the 7.7mm machine guns of the two Type 94 armored vehicles can be aimed at anything suspicious. Target.
The Chinese, who only had lightly armed firearms, could do nothing against those two guys.
"Everyone, fight back on the spot!" Hero Kato hid his body deeper in the corner of the wall while issuing a military order.
Ten seconds later, the two 7.7mm heavy machine guns of the two 94 armored vehicles, which had already judged the approximate hiding position of the Chinese soldiers based on the gunshots, began to roar one after another.
The sweep caused only smoke and dust to rise from the store walls, wooden doors, and wooden windows on both sides of the armored vehicle.
The Japanese tank soldiers had no scruples at this time. From the beginning, the Japanese infantrymen who entered the store under the order of the infantry captain were all behind the armored vehicles. There were no people in front of them. If there were Chinese on both sides, it would naturally be Leave it to the infantrymen who are still in the residential areas to deal with it. From this point of view, the Japanese army was actually mentally prepared for the sudden attack. However, they did not expect that the Chinese would attack so resolutely. It was a burst of gunfire, which resulted in nearly ten people being injured or dead.
Naturally, there were many soldiers from the security regiment hiding in the houses on both sides of the block in front of the armored vehicles and shooting at the Japanese infantry on the street. After the two 7.7mm heavy machine guns opened fire, the sounds of the shell guns and Hanyang-made rifles suddenly became much thinner, and there were also a lot of noise. Shao screamed in pain.
At a corner where the Japanese army could not see, uninjured security regiment soldiers hurriedly carried their comrades who had been felled by bullets and evacuated.
Tang Dao once said that when the Japanese army disperses and attacks, they should fight on the move and change places after shooting. And the Japanese army began to advance from street to house, compressing the movement space, so they had to fight to the death for every inch of land.
Since the Japanese army has obviously not done this yet, the officers and soldiers of the security regiment will naturally not be willing to waste their lives and run away after the fight.
Two Japanese armored vehicles were left behind, spitting flames in vain at the residential buildings.
The Japanese troops hiding on the long street also began to march along the long street and entered the houses where gunshots had been fired. The most they were left with were a few scattered bullet casings and sporadic blood stains. The fleeing security regiment soldiers were quite loyal. , taking away the remains of the war dead together.
In the grocery store, when he heard the sound of gunshots, Crow stood through the wooden door and was about to pull the trigger of the shell gun on the target he had been staring at for a long time. However, the reaction of the two Japanese superior soldiers was as fast as one after another. The gunfire sounded, and he immediately rolled on the spot and hid in the corner.
The crow that had been peeping at them through the cracks in the wooden boards could no longer see them. It was only by the sound that they knew that the two Japanese soldiers were still in the grocery store.
"Kagawkun, what should we do? Should we go out or wait here?" The superior soldier who hid his body in the corner and kept glancing around for fear of being shot in the dark asked his companion softly.
Because of his body shape, Sergeant Kagawa leaned to the outside. He pressed his body against the blue brick wall and looked back to make sure that his companions could provide him with cover. Then he approached the store door with a gun in hand and a low posture.
He stuck his head out and looked outside Zhongshan Street. He saw at least three khaki men lying on the long street. Bullets were hitting the ground with a pop-pop sound from time to time. He made an instant judgment, "We can't go out, just stay here." If there are any Chinese in the grocery store, Captain Morimu will come to support us if he hears the sound."
This is the veteran's judgment on the battlefield, and it is a very correct judgment.
If the two people left the shop and entered the street, there was a high chance that they would be shot by bullets from which they had no way of knowing the direction.
Staying in the store is the most correct choice.
Even, in order to ensure that he would not be shot by the hiding Chinese, at the signal of Sergeant Kagawa, Sergeant Yamaguchi threw a melon grenade directly into the room that had been searched to confirm that no one was there.
Rather than attacking the enemy, it is actually more about alerting the enemy. As long as someone is hiding around, they will definitely be surprised by the exploding grenade.
The two Japanese veterans didn't need many clues. They only needed to hear the sound of dodging to determine where the enemy might be. Not to mention being able to kill him, at least they would have no problem guarding against him.
The crow is next door to that room.
Although the grenade that suddenly exploded did not hurt him, the huge sound shocked him so much that he almost screamed in surprise.
However, the two Japanese soldiers underestimated the endurance of a young man who had been making a living alone since he was nine years old. In order to support themselves, in the cold winter months, young boys can dive into the water and fish out the cages.
The Crow endured the extreme discomfort, lowered his body, and hid behind the wooden door, almost stopping his breathing.
Just like when he crouched in the field ridges at night to hunt badgers, without enough patience, the ferocious badgers could even kill the hunters.
