The decisive battle against the Third Reich - Chapter 920

c917 bloody battle

Blood, death, screams.

The result of the collision between the two fearless armies was a crazy fight like the cold weapon battle in the Middle Ages.

Soldiers were fighting everywhere. In the dark, they couldn’t even distinguish between enemies and friends. All they knew was to knock down all those who rushed towards them.

A Japanese soldier rushed towards Qin Chuan with a bayonet, howling. The bayonet was covered with blood, obviously just pulled out from a German soldier.

Qin Chuan didn’t hesitate, raised the STG44 and pulled the trigger… “Bang Bang” After two bullets, the Japanese soldier fell to the ground.

STG44 is not completely unusable in close combat. For example, now Qin Chuan is aiming at the target’s legs. Because the distance between the enemy and us is very close, the bullet has a large shooting angle. Even if the bullet penetrates the target’s legs, it will hit the ground and will not accidentally hurt friendly forces.

The Japanese soldier who fell to the ground was still supporting himself and wanted to stand up, but Qin Chuan then added another bullet and made him completely a corpse.

A Japanese soldier raised his gun and aimed at Qin Chuan… Although the M1 rifle, like the STG44, also has the problem of penetrating the target and accidentally injuring friendly forces in close combat, the M1 rifle even has a more serious problem in this regard.

The reason is that the M1 rifle is a semi-automatic rifle, and its bullet is a 7 rifle bullet, which has a much larger charge than the 7 intermediate power bullet of the STG44, so the penetration is also stronger.

But the Japanese American soldiers don’t care about accidental injuries at all, they just want to knock down the enemy in front of them.

Qin Chuan didn’t hesitate, raised his rifle and pulled the trigger at his head.

After two “bangs”, the Japanese soldier’s face burst into blood and leaned back under the recoil of the bullet, and then fell to the ground like a balloon with the air sucked out.

Qin Chuan had no choice but to do this.

Not to mention that the bullet may not hit the friendly forces after penetrating the target, even if it hits the friendly forces, Qin Chuan has to shoot… Others in the First Infantry Regiment will make the same choice, they will not give up their lives because of some possibility.

Moreover, if the bullet can penetrate the body tissue of three people, then it is very likely that the head aimed at and wearing a helmet will not penetrate.

After the magazine was empty, there was no time to change the magazine. When the third Japanese soldier rushed towards him, Qin Chuan blocked the opponent’s bayonet with a rifle and smashed the butt of the gun hard on the opponent’s neck.

When he covered his neck in pain, Qin Chuan took out a pistol and shot him in the chest.

To a certain extent, the pistol at this time would be more useful than the rifle, but it was a pity that its bullet capacity was only 8 rounds. If it did not hit the enemy’s vitals, it would take three, four or even more bullets to ensure that the opponent would not stab you with a bayonet before dying.

Fortunately, when the pistol bullets ran out, several German soldiers holding STG44 followed and blocked Qin Chuan.

Facts also proved that Qin Chuan’s decision to order a counterattack in time was correct.

On the one hand, the counterattack can make the German army rush out of the bombing range of the Japanese army’s mortars… The automatic weapons equipped by the German army have an absolute advantage in firepower, so being organized and having good sight are more advantageous to the German army.

Especially at the moment of launching the counterattack, the German army in the front can use up the bullets of the STG44 in their hands without worrying about accidental injuries, so the Japanese army team was defeated in one encounter.

On the other hand, it is to catch the Japanese army off guard.

The impact of this factor seems to be small, but it is very critical on the battlefield, especially at night and on the battlefield where artillery bombardment is everywhere.

The reason is that all Japanese-American soldiers have their eyes on the place where the artillery shells exploded, and the intuitive reaction in their minds is that there will be enemies only when they rush there.

But the enemy suddenly appeared in front of them, and they hurriedly fought in a hurry.

And this little bit of hesitation or accident is enough to play a decisive role in close combat.

This can be said to be a kind of initiative.

Although the close combat capability of the Japanese-American soldiers was higher than that of the German soldiers, and although all of them were ready to die, and although they all held a beautiful dream and ambition… to fight for the dignity and freedom of themselves and their families.

But in the end, they still collapsed in front of the German soldiers who were rushing towards them like a tide.

Soon the sound of artillery stopped. The mortar troops of the Japanese-American soldiers were not ordered to stop firing, but the Germans had already rushed to them, and they had to flee in panic.

A bloody Japanese colonel shouted angrily at the fleeing Japanese soldiers. He shouted in Japanese, so Qin Chuan and others did not understand, but it was probably curses, shame and the like.

Werner walked up and kicked it to the ground. He was silent for a while and pulled out a bayonet from his waist…

The German soldiers laughed. They thought the Japanese officer was going to resist with a bayonet.

Werner raised his gun at him, but was stopped by Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan knew what he was going to do. That was the tradition of the Japanese, or more precisely, the tradition of the Japanese samurai.

As expected, the Japanese officer stabbed himself in the heart with a stab in front of the German soldiers.

“Why did he do this?” someone asked, but no one could answer.

Qin Chuan knew why, but he couldn’t explain it clearly, because he didn’t know whether to regard this group of people as Japanese or Americans.

With the annihilation of the main force of the 442nd Regiment, the US troops trapped in Moltre were completely surrounded and had no chance of breaking out.

It is said that at this time, there was a little conflict within the besieged troops… The American soldiers thought that it was meaningless to fight at this time, so they were ready to surrender. But the Japanese soldiers insisted on fighting to the last moment.

After the surrender, the US military commented on the Japanese soldiers: “They are too crazy. Although this makes them look brave, we don’t understand why they do this! We can’t change anything, right? Even if everyone dies in the battle, the ending will be the same!”

But the Japanese soldiers thought differently from them. They didn’t even allow the US soldiers to surrender.

In the case of disagreement, the US soldiers finally took advantage of the chaos to escape from the “protection” of the Japanese soldiers… It’s ironic that the US military actually had to “escape” from the troops who came to rescue them.

The Japanese soldiers resisted until the last moment. They wanted to withdraw to Moltre and continue to hold on by relying on the terrain there, but the German army had already occupied it first.

In the end, only thirteen Japanese soldiers raised their hands and became German prisoners.

At this time, there was only more than an hour before dawn.

“We have to hurry!” said Colonel Slain. “These rabbits put us at risk of being bombed by American planes!”
