Ask for help from the captain-level infantry squadron leader who is responsible for searching the entire neighborhood. Naturally, the help he can provide is not military support.
The entire block covers an area of 2 square kilometers. Chinese people have been found in only one place, and only one firepower point has been found so far. Three infantry squads with dozens of people are not enough? We have to invest more troops. Wouldn't it be a big joke to spread the word?
!
Isn’t it just that if bullets can’t penetrate that pagoda and grenades cannot penetrate it, then we can use infantry artillery to solve the problem?
The Japanese artillerymen who had just been beaten up on Zhongshan Road Street suffered a lot of losses, but the artillery pieces lost on the street were basically still usable as long as they were not hit by mortar shells.
Most of the artillery squadrons of the Japanese infantry brigade withdrew from the block and followed the main infantry to Cangcheng. At the request of the Japanese captain in charge of the search, an infantry cannon and an artillery squad were left at the brigade headquarters and entered the block to follow the infantry.
action.
The plan was to not attack the Chinese who were stubbornly resisting at the fortifications, but to rely on infantry artillery bombardment to resolve the battle.
Isn't this the right time? The search team encountered a problem. The Japanese captain waved his hand and transferred the infantry artillery team that was following him.
The artillery team of a dozen people pushed and carried them hard through the small alley. It took more than ten minutes to finally get the 70-caliber infantry gun, which weighed nearly 300 kilograms with the gun mount, to 50 meters from Xilin Temple.
outside.
Xia Dayu, who had extremely sharp eyes, also noticed this unusual group of Japanese soldiers and the big iron pipe they were pushing.
Although the young man had never seen artillery and did not understand what infantry artillery, mountain artillery and field artillery were, he did know the power of artillery.
The soldiers of the security group had places to hide when the artillery fire came, but he, a little thief, could only hide behind the Buddha's golden statue. As long as one shell fell into the hall, he and the Buddha would be finished together.
Fortunately, the Buddha appeared, and no matter how many rounds of shelling the Japanese army conducted day or night, not a single shell fell into the main hall where he was hiding.
However, many other rooms in the temple could be blown up. The young man who spent the darkest moments relying only on the Buddha's golden body and chanting 'Amitabha' had personally experienced the horror caused by the shell explosion. The explosion was more than 20 meters away, and the terrifying
The air wave still smashed even the hundreds of kilograms of the main hall door made of fine nanmu.
If he hadn't firmly grasped the base of the tall Buddha statue, he might not even be able to stand firmly.
"Are the Japanese going to use artillery?" Crow, who also felt deeply threatened, immediately set up his light machine gun and fired at him with a long point.
A miracle happened just like that. A dozen Japanese artillerymen who were extremely tired from pushing and raising artillery did not expect that the Chinese shooting range was so large. They gathered a little closer, and four or five Japanese artillerymen were completely hit.
The results of Crow's battle with several magazines but no sense of achievement.
Although no one was killed immediately, the burst of bullets caused the Japanese artillerymen to howl in agony.
The Japanese artillerymen panicked and hid in the ruins pushing the infantry cannons. Crow, who was delighted with his first success, chased the Japanese artillerymen as they fled in panic and emptied the 20-round magazine in one go. Good luck came again.
After taking care of him, he defeated another Japanese artilleryman.
"Uncle Crow is mighty!" The young man was so happy that he almost clapped his hands.
Little did Crow, whose mouth almost burst open to his ears, know that the unlucky boy he swept down in the end was the gunner of the Japanese artillery unit. Although he was not killed on the spot, a 7.92-caliber bullet from a Czech light machine gun hit him in the back.
, penetrated from the lobe of the lung, leaving a bloody hole the size of a baby's fist. If he could be sent to a field hospital immediately for emergency surgery, he might still be alive, but in the current environment, the mortality rate exceeds 95%.
.
It doesn't matter whether he died or not. What matters is that the Japanese artillery unit lost its most important commander.
Command was transferred to the two remaining gunners.
As for the two gunners, they had just experienced the shelling of the Chinese 150-caliber mortars, and when they were extremely fragile, they were taken care of by the Chinese machine guns so "accurately", and their little faces turned pale.
So, when Xiaocun Xiongyi came in a hurry, he hoped that the artillery team that was ordered to support them set up infantry artillery and fired at the pagoda 50 meters away.
Unexpectedly, after a short silence, he received a rejection that made him extremely painful.
Two Japanese gunners actually claimed that they were devout Buddhists, and because of their faith, they could not obey military orders and fire on the pagoda.
"Baga! Shameless!" Seeing the two gunners who rejected him righteously, Sergeant Komura Kumaichi really wanted to spit on their faces. When did Buddhism accept you two scum?
Of course he knew what these two bastards were thinking. Wasn't it because they had been chilled by the Chinese mortars? Seeing that this place was only 400 meters away from the main city of Songjiang, he was afraid that the cannons would be heard by the defenders over there and judge them.
The location will fire in retaliation!
This is actually where the Japanese army is having a hard time. When there are Chinese people, they want to kill them all. But when they find that fewer and fewer Chinese people have escaped, they are under the cover of the opponent's artillery fire.
, but there are no Chinese to act as a barrier.
After all, when there are Chinese people fighting against them, they will not attack their own people. This feeling is really fucked up.
The two Japanese infantry artillery gunners had a good reason. In fact, even if the reason was not good, they did not intend to fire and send themselves under the muzzle of the Chinese guns. The previous mortar attack really scared them.
People who have never experienced a 150-caliber mortar attack have no idea how terrifying the curved artillery that specializes in attacking infantry is. If the Chinese had concentrated artillery fire like they did before, dozens of people here would not have survived.
More than 30%.
The Japanese artillery actually thought that the infantry who wanted to use artillery to hit the pagoda was just a fool. It was just a firepower point. How could you get a few people there? Do you have to do it all together?
As for the sergeant who gave them orders, he was nothing! Not to mention the sergeant, even the army captain who ordered them to support them was nothing! They were not directly subordinate to a bunch of stupid infantrymen.
If you want to fall out, fine! The next time they lead a charge, it would be weird if the guys from the artillery squadron don't give him some eye drops.
Besides, I didn’t realize that several of the artillery squadrons were seriously injured! You have to carry people to the field hospital quickly! If you have the ability, give me a military order and don’t let me carry people for treatment. Then I will give them to you immediately.
The squadron leader reported that your stupid infantrymen do not regard artillery as human beings, but only care about your military exploits.
The artillerymen are a technical branch, and even though their military rank is not as high as that of Komura Kuma, Sergeant Komura Kuma really can't do anything to him as he confidently looks up at his dying officer to go to the field hospital.
Besides, my artillery squad didn’t say it wouldn’t support you. The infantry artillery and several artillerymen are still here!
That is, cannons that cannot guarantee the accuracy of shelling are left here for display?
Komura Xiongyi didn't want the cannon to be ineffective, but also attracted the attention of the Chinese at the top of the city a few hundred meters away and threw a bunch of cannonballs at them.
If you want to deal with the guy on the pagoda dozens of meters away who is fearless and has amazing marksmanship, you can only rely on yourself.
However, it is really difficult to deal with that guy without killing him!
Xiaomura Xiong gritted his back teeth and waved to a superior soldier under his command: "Yours, take four people, enter the temple, use artificial blasting to kill the hateful Chinese!"
Japanese army soldier
There is no change on the face, but there is constant MMP inside. You are so awesome, why don’t you get on?
It's just that two gunners can shamelessly claim that they are devout Buddhists and refuse to fire, but he, a direct subordinate, cannot.
The strict military laws during the war angered Commander Cao, who was almost out of control. It was not impossible to execute him on the spot.
What's more, it's not okay for the dozens of infantrymen and the Chinese on the tower to look at each other like this.
A battle situation in which a single firepower point left nearly an infantry squad and dozens of Imperial Japanese Army helpless was almost equivalent to the Chinese pooping on the Imperial Japanese Army's head every extra minute they existed.
If this continues, your detachment leader's head will become a toilet, or a stinky dry toilet like the one in the rural areas of northern China.
If this reaches the ears of the Major General, I am afraid that everyone here will be dead.
Although the Japanese superior soldier thought clearly, he was miserable, but he could only call two light machine gun shooters and two infantrymen, carry two explosive bags, and under the cover of the two light machine guns that started roaring, they were captured by Xilin Temple.
Destroy the east side of the wall and approach the pagoda.
All this, of course, cannot escape the little bald man who has been accustomed to observing the surrounding environment since he was a child.
