Rise From Eight Hundred

Another Japanese soldier reacted quickly enough. The moment his companion was shot, he immediately fell to the ground, reducing the bullet-receiving surface and quickly rolling under the eaves of the shop on the side of the long street.

So, he escaped.

"Bang!" The gunshot followed, and a bullet hit the ancient bluestone road that had experienced two hundred years of wind and rain, and a puff of green smoke came out.

The light machine gunner occupying the roof of a two-story building immediately aimed his gun at the densely packed houses below, but damn! Where are the Chinese?

According to the location where the Japanese soldier who fell to the ground was shot, the light machine gunner could only judge the general direction, which should be on his side.

But he couldn't fire recklessly, because his companions might be among the densely packed houses.

The firepower support familiar to the Japanese army was completely useless at this moment.

And Tang Dao had long told the officers of the security group that here, a precise shooter might be more useful than a heavy machine gun. The reason why the security group used light machine guns was just for concentrated fire, not fire support.

The security group soldiers who poked their guns out, like Lieutenant Crow, hid in the shops on both sides of the street.

The structure of the shops here is extremely complex. Unlike ordinary shops, which only have a storefront and a warehouse, there is often a living area behind a shop, and even several families are connected. A family may rely on this shop to live.

Moreover, the 2,000 people of the Songjiang Security Group spent a day and a night here, not playing like usual. According to the street fighting essentials of Tang Dao and their own understanding, they opened passages in some hidden corners to connect this complex shop almost into a whole.

When the Japanese army searched, they might hide in one of the houses, wait for the Japanese army to finish searching other rooms, and quickly pass through the passage to enter the searched room. This kind of hide-and-seek lurking is absolutely difficult to guard against for the Japanese infantry who are doing it for the first time.

Even now, when the alarmed Japanese soldiers dropped their supplies and moved towards the main road of Zhongshan Street, they did not see that in the inconspicuous windows, on the parapets, and even in the dog holes, there were black muzzles sticking out and firing.

The rifles were mixed with Mauser pistols and light machine guns, and the firepower that burst out instantly was definitely more than that of a Japanese infantry squadron.

Some Japanese soldiers were so close that there was no need to aim at all. This was a battle arena where random punches killed the masters.

"Bang, bang, bang!" A burst of random gunfire made the Japanese soldiers on the street roar and howl in agony. In just five or six seconds, at least eight or nine Japanese soldiers were shot.

The happier ones, who were shot in the vital parts, would scream for one or two minutes and die naturally after losing all their strength. The most unfortunate ones were those who were shot in the thighs or torsos, and they crawled desperately into the shops on both sides with blood on their bodies. The slow targets would become the targets of the second round of bullets. If they hit the target accurately, it would be fine. If they didn't hit it accurately, they would have to take another shot.

In just these ten seconds, the chaotic firepower fired from all around Zhongshan Long Street had an absolute advantage.

Three or four Japanese soldiers on the long street fell, and seven or eight Japanese soldiers in the residential houses fell, but the Japanese soldiers on the long street would still subconsciously hide in the shops whose wooden doors they smashed open.

Houses are shelters, that is human instinct.

As the squadron leader, Captain Kato Hero was the initiator of the order to rob the property, and he certainly would not relax his vigilance in this extremely dangerous battlefield.

From the beginning, he did not join his subordinates in robbing the dazzling wealth while searching. Instead, he hid in a corner, where the angle of the wall could block the bullets that might be fired from the left and right sides, and the Type 94 armored vehicle parked in the middle of the road could block the cold guns that might be fired from the quiet houses opposite at any time.

It was an absolutely safe position, but what the Japanese captain did not expect was that the Chinese opened fire so undisguisedly. You know, the 7.7mm machine guns of the two Type 94 armored vehicles were aimed at all suspicious targets.

The Chinese, who only had light firearms, could do nothing to those two guys.

"Everyone, fight back on the spot!" Kato Hero hid his body deeper into the angle of the wall and issued a military order.

After more than ten seconds, the two 7.7mm heavy machine guns of the two Type 94 armored vehicles, which had already judged the approximate hiding position of the Chinese soldiers based on the approximate gunshots, began to roar one after another.

The walls, wooden doors and windows of the shops on both sides of the front of the armored vehicle were covered with smoke and dust.

The Japanese tank soldiers had no scruples at this time. From the beginning, the Japanese infantrymen who were ordered by the infantry captain to enter the shops were all behind the armored vehicles. There were no Japanese soldiers in front. If there were Chinese on both sides, they would naturally be handed over to the infantrymen who were still in the houses to deal with.

From this point of view, the Japanese army was actually mentally prepared for the sudden attack, but they did not expect the Chinese to attack so resolutely. There was a burst of random gunfire, which led to nearly ten people being injured or killed.

There were naturally many security guards hiding in the houses on both sides of the block in front of the armored vehicle and shooting at the Japanese infantry on the street. After the two 7.7mm heavy machine guns opened fire, the sounds of the Mauser pistols and Hanyang rifles suddenly became sparse, and there were also many cries of pain.

In the corners that the Japanese army could not see, the uninjured security guards hurriedly carried their companions who were swept down by bullets and evacuated.

Tang Dao said that when the Japanese army dispersed and attacked, they would fight in a mobile way, and move to another place after firing a shot. The Japanese army began to advance in a carpet-style manner from street to street, compressing the space for movement, so they had to fight to the death for every inch of land.

Now the Japanese army obviously has not done so yet, so the officers and soldiers of the security regiment will naturally not be willing to waste their lives and run away after fighting.

Leaving two Japanese armored vehicles in vain spewing flames at the houses.

The Japanese soldiers hiding in the long street also began to move along the long street and entered the houses where the gunshots were heard. At most, they were left with a few scattered shells and sporadic bloodstains. The fleeing security regiment soldiers were still quite loyal and took the bodies of the dead with them.

In the grocery store, when the gunshots were heard, Crow was about to pull the trigger of the Mauser pistol at the target he had been staring at for a long time through the wooden door, but the reaction of the two Japanese corporals was one of the fastest. When they heard the gunshots, they immediately rolled on the ground and hid in the corner.

The crows that had been peeping at them through the cracks in the wooden boards could no longer see their figures. Only by the sound could they know that the two Japanese soldiers were still in the grocery store.

"Kagawa-kun, what should we do? Should we go out or wait here?" The corporal who hid in the corner and kept scanning the surroundings for fear of being shot asked his companions softly.

Because of his body shape, corporal Kagawa leaned against the blue brick wall and looked back to make sure that his companions could cover him from behind. He crouched with his gun and approached the door of the store.

He stuck his head out to look outside Zhongshan Street. At least three khakis were lying on the long street. From time to time, bullets hit the ground and made a "puff" sound. He made a judgment in an instant, "We can't go out. We will stay in this grocery store. If there are Chinese, Captain Moriki will come to support us when he hears the sound."

This is the judgment of the veteran on the battlefield, a very correct judgment.

If the two left the store and entered the street, there would be a great possibility that they would be shot and killed by bullets whose direction they had no way of knowing.

Staying in the store is the most correct choice.

In order to ensure that he would not be shot by the Chinese in hiding, at the signal of Corporal Kagawa, Corporal Yamaguchi threw a melon grenade directly into the room that had been searched and confirmed to be empty.

Rather than attacking the enemy, it is better to say that it is to startle the enemy. As long as there are people hiding around, they will be startled by the exploding grenade.

The two Japanese veterans do not need too many clues. They only need to hear the sound of dodging to determine the possible location of the enemy. If they can't kill him, at least they can take precautions.

Crow is next to that room.

Although the sudden explosion of the grenade did not hurt him, the huge sound made him see stars and he almost cried out.

However, the two Japanese soldiers underestimated the endurance of a young man who has been making a living alone since he was nine years old. In order to support himself, in the cold winter, the young boy can dive into the water to pick up the ground trap.

Crow endured the extreme discomfort, lowered his body, hid behind the wooden door, and almost stopped breathing.

Just like when he used to lie in wait in the ridges of the fields at night to hunt badgers, if he didn't have enough patience, the ferocious badgers could even kill the hunters.
