Chapter 264 Night attack on enemy camp
"Host, please confirm whether to spend 1200 war points to redeem the "gun and artillery warning" function."
"confirm!"
With the deduction of 1200 war points, the functional module of the war support system gained a new capability.
Gun and artillery early warning can detect and warn the trajectory and landing point of bullets and shells before the guns and artillery are fired. In addition, it can lock the enemy's position based on the trajectory of bullets and shells. The early warning range is 100 meters. Including but not limited to various bullets, shells, poison gas bombs, air-dropped bombs, etc.
With this skill, Lu Cheng's battlefield survivability will definitely be greatly improved. He can also take care of nearby soldiers and accurately counterattack the enemy in a short period of time.
If the thermal sensing radar and other things before were only capable of this kind of high-tech product, this gun and artillery warning is truly a real cheat. It can detect enemy bullets and artillery shells before they are even fired.
While Lu Cheng was checking the system functions, the soldiers had already completed cleaning the battlefield and finishing off the Japanese.
Lu Cheng specifically instructed those soldiers who had not killed any Japanese to stab the Japanese corpses once, so that they could see blood and feel the feeling of the bayonet piercing flesh and blood.
The newly joined soldiers were keen on picking up guns and ammunition from the corpses. The veterans had no shortage of guns and ammunition, and were even more keen on collecting the Japanese's cigarettes, water bottles, collar badges, watches and the like.
The Japanese soldiers' military boots were basically taken off.
Lu Cheng also specially asked someone to collect some well-preserved Japanese military uniforms for future use.
Especially the Japanese major leading the team, who was shot in the head by Lu Cheng, and his uniform was basically not damaged except for some dirt. Lu Cheng specially asked someone to take this set of uniforms to the riverside to wash and dry them.
Since it was already evening, it would take some time for the follow-up Japanese troops to arrive, and the soldiers on the position also had time to rest.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers began to eat. While eating, they excitedly discussed today's victory, who killed how many devils, and so on.
After everyone had finished their meal, Lu Cheng gathered everyone together and said loudly: "Today's battle was fought beautifully. I saw your bravery! You are all great. You are worthy of being Chinese soldiers. You have not lost face! Now, all the second-class soldiers, get out of the trenches and line up in two rows!"
The military ranks of the National Army's soldiers, from low to high, are soldier, non-commissioned officer, lieutenant, colonel, and general.
Soldiers are divided into privates, privates first class, and corporals. Those who have served for less than a year are privates second class, and their collar badges are pure red with a triangular gold bean. Those who have served for a full year are privates first class, and their collar badges are two beans.
As Lu Cheng gave the order, all the soldiers stood up and waited for Lu Cheng's orders.
Lu Cheng took a quick look and saw that there were about two hundred privates, many of whom were fifteen-year-old boys. Some of them were rather thin and looked like junior high school students.
"I said I would take you home. But the friendly forces on the east bank have not yet completed their deployment. If we all run to cross the river now, when the Japanese rush to the riverside and fight across the river, we will still have to flee for our lives. By then, we will have to lose the city and the land, and abandon our compatriots on the other side. As soldiers, can we do this?"
The soldier who first followed Lu Cheng in the crowd immediately responded: "No!"
"That's right. Tonight, the first group, the privates, will cross the river first. Kang Huojian, you will lead a platoon and escort all the privates and the wounded across the river!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
"Captain, I won't leave. I can fight the devils. I'm a good shooter!"
"Captain, I won't leave either. I want to follow you to fight the Japanese and win the battle."
During the march, Lu Cheng not only cleared the way and covered the rear, but also boosted morale among the team and communicated with the soldiers.
Lu Cheng paid special attention to the younger soldiers. He would call them together from time to time, show some concern for them, and give them some candies and chocolates.
These young soldiers have relatively simple minds. They are willing to follow, depend on, and even risk their lives for whoever is truly kind to them.
Lu Cheng was not trying to win people's hearts, he just felt sorry for these children. They had to leave their homes before they grew up and take part in brutal battles. They might die in a foreign country at any time, and they might not even leave their names behind.
"Alright, everyone, follow my orders. We're letting you cross the river to build river defenses on the other side and protect our retreat. There's only one platoon of troops on the other side, which is not enough. Bring your own weapons and ammunition, and obey the orders of the veterans when you get to the other side. Got it?"
"understood."
"Kang Huojian!"
"To!"
"You also go to the east bank and command the soldiers to deploy the defense. Also, send someone to inform Commander Yu to complete the deployment as soon as possible."
"Yes, battalion commander."
Meng Fanle patted Kang Ya on the shoulder and said, "You are so lucky that you can cross the river first. Since you are leaving, leave your hidden cans behind."
"Where are the cans? Absolutely not."
"Brothers, search!"
Immediately, several people came up and hugged Kang Ya, and took out two or three Japanese canned sardines from his body.
"You still say no. You never tell the truth. You are really good at hiding things."
The new soldiers went across the river, and the veterans continued to consolidate their defenses. Some experienced veterans knew that the next battle would not be so easy.
Previously, they were the vanguard of the Japanese invaders, and they had no heavy weapons, so they were easily wiped out.
Next, they would face the Japanese's repeated bombardment with various artillery pieces, and even attacks from poison gas bombs.
When cleaning the battlefield before, Lu Cheng specifically asked the soldiers to search all the gas masks on the Japanese soldiers.
However, the vanguard of the Japanese devils did not carry many gas masks, and only a dozen were found in the end.
At the same time, Lu Cheng inspected the entire position, instructing the soldiers to dig cat ear holes and foxholes and make preparations for anti-artillery defense.
As the saying goes, new soldiers are afraid of artillery shells, and old soldiers are afraid of machine guns.
The recruits had never encountered earth-shaking artillery attacks, so they would inevitably panic when they encountered artillery bombardment. They might even run around on the position and eventually be killed.
In fact, you only need to hide in the cat-ear holes dug in advance in the trenches to avoid most of the damage from artillery fire and shrapnel attacks. Of course, if the shells fall at your feet, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Veterans know that machine guns are more terrifying than artillery shells. Although machine guns are not as accurate as rifles, their dense bullets can completely suppress people and make them unable to raise their heads.
Moreover, the heavy machine gun has a large impact, and once hit by it, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.
Just after more than 200 privates and a platoon of troops crossed the river, the Japanese follow-up troops had already arrived near Nantianmen.
At this time, it was completely dark. The Japanese did not rush to attack, but gathered under the Nantianmen Gate, waiting for the arrival of more troops.
Lu Cheng observed the situation, then turned to Long Wenjian and said, "There are already four to five hundred Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and heavy weapons are arriving one after another. We can't let the Japanese soldiers prepare and attack us.
Later, I will lead the commandos for a night attack. You organize the people and gather all the light machine guns. After I disrupt the enemy's camp, you lead the people to attack. Each person can empty two magazines and then retreat."
"No problem. How about we switch and I lead the commando team?"
"Let me go. I can cause more casualties."
After making the arrangements, Lu Cheng, with hundreds of expanded commandos, each armed with a submachine gun and three grenades, sneaked towards the Japanese in the dark.
The Japanese never expected that the expeditionary force on the hill would dare to take the initiative to attack and did not deploy too many defenses.
After approaching the Japanese camp, Lu Cheng quietly gave an order for all the commandos to take out their grenades, pull out the pins, and immediately throw them into the Japanese camp.
By the time the others had thrown three grenades, Lu Cheng had already thrown more than a dozen grenades.
There were hundreds of grenades with pins pulled out in advance in the storage space. After Lu Cheng threw one, another one appeared in his hand. One after another, he couldn't stop at all...
