Strictly speaking, Baoding does not have a complete city wall.
After all, this is a railway city. The Pinghan-Hankou Line runs through the middle. The city is on both sides of the railway line.
Because of the existence of railway lines, it has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Since it is a battleground for military strategists, city walls are dispensable. Military fortresses are more important than city walls.
The city wall will definitely be blown open. This is the era of hot weapons.
At every turn, artillery would clear the way.
Even during the period of warlord fighting, there were many mountain artillery.
That is to say, the Eighth Route Army was too poor and did not have many mountain artillery.
Even the Jin-Sui army has no shortage of mountain artillery.
Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment has an artillery battalion.
How strong can you make such a long city wall? The cost must be unaffordable!
On the contrary, it is more important to control the nearby commanding heights.
What? No commanding heights?
That is to create a few. Pile a few with soil.
Artificial high ground is also useful.
Calf Mountain is a commanding height nearby. It was built up with soil accumulated over many years.
The relative height is not a hundred meters, but it can already control the surrounding area.
The Japanese invaders arranged machine guns and artillery on top, controlling an area of more than a thousand meters from the top.
"Da da da……"
"Da da da……"
Japanese machine gun fire.
Bullets were fired from Calf Hill.
very dangerous.
Everyone had to disperse and hide.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Puff puff!"
The bullet hit the ground nearby.
Everyone had to step back.
We retreated until we were four to five hundred meters away from the Japanese machine guns, and it was a little safer.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Japanese artillery bombarded them simultaneously.
The shell fell near Zhang Chu. Fortunately, there were no casualties for the time being.
However, this is dangerous.
Over time, there will definitely be casualties.
Must go around Calf Mountain.
Or conquer it...
"no!"
"impossible!"
Krupp shook his head repeatedly.
He is an artilleryman. He is most sensitive to commanding heights.
Although the commanding heights controlled by the Japanese invaders were less than 100 meters, they attacked from the top.
Attacking from behind is bound to result in huge casualties.
The few hundred of them were not enough to fill the gaps in the Japanese aggressors' teeth if they attacked from behind.
What's more, many people have no combat experience at all!
Most are newbies.
How to impact?
If you go up there, you will die. You may die without knowing how.
"It is impossible to occupy it..."
"But it is possible to blow it up."
Zhang Chu's tone was cold.
Zhang Chu's eyes lit up.
How to say?
"There is a tunnel below."
"The devils go to the top of the mountain through the tunnel."
"Piling hundreds of kilograms of yellow explosives inside the tunnel will definitely kill all the Japanese invaders above."
Zhang Chu clearly pointed out the feasibility.
He is a miner and is most sensitive to tunnels and the like.
Due to the times, the composition of Calf Mountain is very complicated. The tunnels below are also like a maze.
It is estimated that the Japanese themselves do not know how many tunnels there are.
However, the Japanese are not fools. They have blocked all the tunnels that can be blocked. They have also set up many blockades.
It's not easy to sneak past.
"I go!"
Zhang Chu's mind moved.
He is the best at this kind of thing!
He acts alone, completely unnoticed.
It's so cool to cause destruction!
"Are you going alone?"
"right!"
"Do you have yellow dynamite?"
"have!"
"ah?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Do you have yellow explosives? Where is the yellow explosive?
Zhang Chu said that the required amount of yellow explosive must be at least five hundred kilograms. Anything less will not be useful.
Five hundred kilograms of yellow explosive is not a small amount.
It can't be carried by one person. It needs at least five people. Or even ten people.
You know, that's dynamite!
It is already very dangerous for each person to carry fifty kilograms.
How could so many people penetrate the Japanese blockade? Once discovered...
"fine."
"You guys wait here."
"I will be right back!"
Zhang Chu said casually. He took a few steps and suddenly turned back.
Take out a Springfield sniper rifle and give it to Chu Huai.
Chu Huai:????
do what?
You want me to cover you?
"Take a few shots when you get the chance."
"It's okay to hit him casually."
Zhang Chu said.
Chu Huai:???
He frowned secretly.
What's the meaning?
Do you think there is nothing I can do against the Japanese invaders?
snort!
You wait.
Zhang Chu quietly touched it.
"Pah hook!"
"Pah hook!"
The Japanese invaders were shooting from above.
Chu Huai raised his sniper rifle.
The target in the scope is very clear.
Although because the shooting was from bottom to top, only most of the Japanese invaders' heads could be seen. But it was enough.
The scope locked on the Japanese invaders' heads.
"Bang!"
Pull the trigger decisively.
The target Japanese invader suddenly tilted his head.
Hit!
One shot kills.
Move quickly.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
Sure enough, the Japanese machine guns quickly caught up.
Fortunately, the distance was far away, so the Japanese machine gunner couldn't see clearly. The machine gun didn't have a scope.
Chu Huai continued to look for shooting opportunities.
Soon, the second Japanese invader was targeted. Most of his head was also exposed.
"Bang!"
Take a decisive shot.
He was also shot in the head and died on the spot.
good!
So useful!
The distance is more than 600 meters, and it is still very accurate.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Japanese invaders fired several grenades from their grenades.
Others stepped back one after another.
Chu Huai continued to look for shooting opportunities. When he found an opportunity, he would shoot.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two more Japs were killed.
It's a pity that the last shot missed. It was missed.
But it does not matter.
Change bullets. Continue. There are a lot of bullets.
Suddenly I felt a strange breath.
Could it be...
Immediately, my mind suddenly became excited.
Zhang Chu...
Suddenly I felt the ground shaking.
It was as if his whole body was being lifted up by the ground.
Then, he saw Calf Mountain arching upward out of thin air.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
At this time, a loud noise was heard.
sky!
Calf Mountain was really blown up. A huge mushroom cloud rose.
Zhang Chu really got the explosives.
sky!
Five hundred pounds of yellow explosive!
In fact, Zhang Chu piled more than 500 kilograms of explosives below.
Now that you're here, it's better to be safe.
What if five hundred pounds is not enough?
So, he directly used an explosive pack and a thousand rounds of 105mm artillery shells!
Why this combination?
Because decomposing explosive packets is very expensive, but artillery shells are very cheap.
A 105mm artillery shell costs only 15 yuan. A thousand shells only costs more than 10,000. It is simply cheaper than pond mud.
So many artillery shells are piled together and can be detonated with a single explosive pack.
A 105 mm artillery shell contains about 2 kilograms of high explosive. One thousand shells, how many kilograms is that?
Then……
He discovered that he had made a small mistake.
The power of two thousand kilograms of high explosives was underestimated.
"boom……"
The huge push pushed him staggering forward.
Fortunately, he was running fast enough so that he was not knocked over. Even so, he felt like he had lost ninety-nine of his one hundred lives.
I ran seven or eight hundred meters all the way.
call!
What an exaggeration!
Turn back.
Found a mushroom cloud rising.
Calf Mountain is no longer visible.
I don’t know if it was destroyed by the bombing or if it was shrouded in smoke.
But it does not matter……
If it doesn't blow up, go back and blow it up again. The shells are so cheap anyway.
Zhang Chu was already stunned.
"How much dynamite did you use?"
"Five hundred pounds!"
"Impossible! It weighs at least five thousand kilograms."
"What?"
Everyone around was shocked.
How many?
Five thousand kilograms of yellow explosive?
sky!
That means blowing up the whole mountain to the sky!
"At least five thousand pounds!"
"Well……"
Zhang Chu did not give the exact number.
It seems to be two thousand kilograms of high explosives. Maybe the explosion power is a little stronger than ordinary yellow explosives. For example, RDX or something like that.
When the smoke dissipates a little bit, Calf Mountain really doesn't exist anymore.
The Japanese invaders on the mountain naturally no longer exist.
This is complete annihilation.
It is estimated that the Japanese invaders on the mountain did not even know how they died.
The wind blows.
The smoke slowly dissipated.
The traces after the explosion gradually began to become clear.
Everyone's mouths began to grow.
The hillock is gone.
Instead, there was a huge deep pit. Well, it used to be a mountain, but now it's a pit.
Everyone looked at Zhang Chu in the wrong way.
How much explosives did you use to create such a terrifying effect?
Zhang Chu's eyes gradually brightened.
Damn it, I am such an idiot.
I never thought of using cannonballs as explosives before.
Decomposing explosive packs is too expensive and I can’t bear to part with them. But cannonballs are super cheap! It’s enough to detonate them with just one explosive pack.
A thousand rounds of artillery shells are not enough? Then give me 10,000 rounds!
Ten thousand artillery shells explode at the same time. What can stop it?
Even the top of a real mountain was blown away.
With this magical weapon, he can definitely become a veritable blasting king.
Even if it is the Himalayas, one hundred trillion tons of explosives will be directly used...
