Chapter 353: Adjusting artillery to siege the city
The rumbling sound of cannons in Guangzhou City frightened all the residents. Many people huddled in their homes and closed their doors tightly, not daring to go out.
Some more courageous citizens secretly climbed onto the roofs of their homes and looked into the distance, watching the rising smoke and listening to the violent explosions, feeling both happy and worried in their hearts. What they were happy about was that the country
The army was finally about to regain Guangzhou, and they were worried about whether their home would be damaged.
While the citizens were worried, the siege operations also intensified. After the casualties increased, the various siege troops who were fired up dropped their tanks. However, the number of tanks at present was too small, only eighty or ninety in total.
Tanks were far from meeting the needs of the siege troops. In their anxiety, the siege troops also transferred artillery of various calibers into the city.
"boom……"
A grenade exploded next to Liu Yi, and splashed fragments flew all over Liu Yi. Liu Yi, who was hiding in the corner, tried to aim at the opponent with his sniper rifle several times, but the two grenade launchers always failed.
They hid behind a thick wall and released artillery shells. Due to the curved trajectory of the grenade, they did not show up directly, but hid behind the wall and fired artillery shells. Liu Yi was so angry that he cursed his mother and said to the platoon leader: "Platoon leader
, this devil is born in the year of the tortoise, he doesn’t show his head at all!”
Liu Yi's original platoon leader had been killed in the last battle. The new platoon leader was promoted by an old squad leader who was thirty-six or seventeen years old. He was from the Northeast Army and admired the reputation of Su Rui and the 300 Army.
He came here because his surname was Shen and he had a beard, so he was also called Shen Big Beard.
Shen Bearded touched his furry chin, pointed to the two infantrymen beside him where the Japanese troops were hiding three hundred meters away, and said: "You two, load up the rifle grenades, shoot two rifle grenades at the Japs' hiding place, and drive the Japs into submission."
Come out. Liu Yi is filling up the gun at the side."
"yes!"
After listening to Shen Bearded's words, the two soldiers immediately pointed the Garand rifle forward, shot all the remaining bullets in the gun chamber cleanly in one breath, then removed the gas regulating valve of the rifle, and then removed it.
I took out the m7 grenade launcher sleeve from my waist and put it on the muzzle of the gun. Then I took out the m15 grenade sight and installed it in front of the trigger (because the trajectory of the grenade is different from the trajectory of the bullet, this grenade must be installed.
Sight.), and finally installed a blank bullet and a rifle grenade into the barrel of the gun, then raised the gun and started aiming.
"Bump..."
Two dull gunshots sounded, and the strong airflow from the blank bullet pushed the grenade forward quickly. After a while, two loud explosions and the sound of the wall collapsing were heard. Then a Japanese soldier came from
He stumbled out of the hiding place and was shot by Liu Yi, who had been waiting for a long time. He fell to the ground and then became motionless.
"His grandma, we finally killed these two bastards." Shen Bearded wiped the sweat from his forehead and raised his hand. He was about to call the soldiers to come forward, but was stopped by Liu Yi who was standing beside him.
"Platoon leader, don't rush to charge yet. I think the kid is so cunning. He won't just arrange two grenades. Maybe the kid is hiding aside and waiting for a cold shot. How about we first
Throw a few smoke bombs and see what happens."
Bearded Shen then patted his forehead and said: "That's right...look at my memory. You guys are more thoughtful, then who is it? You two go over and have a look with a few smoke bombs."
Soon, five or six smoke bombs were thrown into the street from different angles, and soon the street was covered by clouds of black smoke. As the whole street was shrouded in smoke, the time passed by.
As the time passed, the street was still quiet and there was no movement at all.
Shen Bearded nodded and said: "Well, it seems that we have wiped out all the Japs here. Okay, brothers, follow me..."
Having said that, Shen Dashu was about to rush out first, but Liu Yi held him back.
"Platoon commander, wait a moment!"
Big Beard Shen got angry and cursed: "Liu Yi, what are you doing? The company commander said that we must capture this place before the sun goes down today. If you continue to be timid, be careful that I will accuse you of disobedience and disrespect!"
"
Liu Yi's face turned red and he said anxiously: "No, platoon leader, I just said that we need to test it out."
"Test Hiccup, I see you are clearly greedy for life and afraid of death!" Shen Dabeard became angry and shouted loudly.
Liu Yi was also anxious, and without saying anything, he reached out and grabbed a stone and threw it into the distance. It hit a trash can next to the street and made a "bang" sound.
"Da da da……"
Following the sound of stones hitting the trash can, there was another burst of rapid machine gunfire from the front. Bullets swept across the street like fallen leaves in the wind, and metal bullets hit the stones in the street.
The top led to stone chips flying everywhere, and a few small stones even hit Shen Dabeard's face, causing pain.
"Fuck... the little devil is... really insidious!"
Everyone, including Shen Dashu, was all shocked, especially Shen Dashu, who had cold sweat on his forehead. At least three light and heavy machine guns had fired at the same time just now. When they thought that if he had taken the lead and rushed over just now, everyone would have been shocked.
The brothers in the platoon will definitely rush over, but if the Japanese hiding in the dark come and attack like this, their entire platoon will be wiped out here.
Stretching out his dark sleeves and wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Shen Bearded turned his head with lingering fear and patted Liu Yi's shoulder, saying gratefully: "Good boy, if it weren't for you just now, we would have been in line for dozens of people
That’s it for everyone.”
Liu Yi also broke out in a cold sweat, laughed dryly and stopped talking. It was really thrilling just now. The Japanese really used their insidiousness and cunning to the extreme. First, they used two grenade launchers to attract everyone's attention.
After the two grenade launchers are eliminated, it will give people the impression that the place is safe. Then when the large force charges, a few grenade launchers hiding in the dark will fire at the same time. The consequences will be extremely terrible, because it is not spacious.
The streets were attacked by several machine guns like a storm, and a platoon of soldiers might be wiped out in a few minutes.
While being frightened, Liu Yi said with some worry: "Platoon commander, the firepower of the Japs is very fierce now. I'm afraid it won't be possible to charge hard. What should we do?"
Shen Big Beard spat in anger and said fiercely: "Grandma, since the little devil is hiding in the mouse hole and can't come out, don't blame us for being rude. Monkey... you hurry up and go to the back, Xiang Lian
Tell me, please push over the 105 cannon assigned to us in the regiment camp, and let's level this place. I don't think he can get out."
"yes!"
Monkey, who had been promoted to sergeant, responded and quickly ran back.
More than ten minutes later, Monkey led more than a dozen soldiers and a heavy artillery to move here slowly. When the artillery came to the corner of a street, everyone stopped for fear of being discovered by the Japanese.
"Da da da……"
At this time, after the firepower point of the Japanese army in front was exposed, they no longer concealed their whereabouts and fired wildly across the street. For a while, the streets were filled with bullets flying everywhere, forcing the soldiers to hide in every corner.
He didn't even dare to raise his head.
After Monkey and the others stopped, the four gunners quickly pulled apart the artillery chassis and gun mount. The observer immediately lay down in a corner to observe the target and measure the direction. Several loaders also quickly placed the shell box on the ground and opened it. Soon, the three
After a few minutes passed, everyone was ready to fire, the aiming hand adjusted the position, the gunner opened the gun bolt, and the loader quickly stuffed a high-explosive bomb weighing more than 20 kilograms into the gun barrel, and then the gun barrel snapped.
Locked up.
"put!"
As the gunner shouted loudly, the gunner pulled the rope, and the 105-caliber cannon shook violently. A tongue of flame erupted from the muzzle and a dull sound was made at the same time.
"boom……"
A violent explosion sounded, and a firepower point set up on a two-story residential building in front flew into the air in an instant. The walls of this firepower point were originally thickened, and ordinary light and heavy machine guns and even rifle grenades could
It is difficult to penetrate or destroy it, but when faced with such a cannon with a caliber exceeding one hundred millimeters, it is as fragile as a layer of newspaper and is quickly torn apart.
"Well played!"
Seeing the obvious effect, the gunners quickly turned the muzzle and aimed at another fire point.
"Boom boom boom..."
Several more distant cannon shots rang out, and the remaining two firepower points were blasted into the west sky in an instant.
"Crackling..."
As several fire points were exploded, countless stones and bricks were scattered everywhere. Many soldiers were hit by the flying stones or broken bricks, which caused a lot of curses.
Seeing that Fang was bombarded into a pile of rubble, Shen Bearded took his hand and led the soldiers to rush towards the next block. The battle continued.
The sky gradually darkened, and the battle that lasted for a day gradually subsided. In an era when night vision devices were not widely popularized, night battles were not a pleasant thing. No one liked to provoke this unless it was a last resort.
A battle in which one thousand enemies are killed and eight hundred are lost.
Although the battle was temporarily over, both sides did not stop the work at hand. Evaluating the day's results, counting losses, replenishing ammunition, moving the wounded to the rear, repairing damaged fortifications, etc., everything was going on in a tense and orderly manner.
In progress.
In an alley, Wang Chunsheng and the others did not rest, they were still busy.
After Wang Chunsheng put down a stone, he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He quickly walked to Uncle Zhang and whispered: "Old Zhang, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Uncle Zhang also looked around, and then followed Wang Chunsheng to a dark corner. Wang Chunsheng began to whisper... (To be continued)
