Chapter 68: The Big Barbecue in the Wild
On the hill, the last remaining group of devils gathered together, used the last few machine guns to arrange a rudimentary machine gun position, and then took out all the grenadiers, seemingly ready for a desperate fight.
These devils are not from the same army, they are soldiers who have been scattered by various units, and they have gathered together temporarily, but they are all diehards in the Japanese army, and they are all blood-red eyes, shouting for their allegiance to the emperor, and they have the strength to die with the enemy.
Xu Minghan looked up at the situation above under the hill, and found that because it was close to the edge of the plain, the terrain was relatively dangerous, and if they attacked strongly, they were afraid that the losses would be greater, so they did not plan to send troops to attack directly.
"Brigade Commander Du, how do you think we should attack?" Ge Cunzheng on the side opened his mouth, they are two generals with different factions, so they like to cause some conflicts to each other many times.
Although Du Zhenwei was different from their faction, he was also an excellent commander and fighter, he raised his head and carefully looked at the hill not far away, as well as the busy devil soldiers on the hill, and came up with a way with a little groaning.
"I think we can use fire attack!" Du Zhenwei opened his mouth, and this sentence made the eyes of several brigade commanders around him light up.
The hill is not very high, that is, thirty or forty meters, and it is of a mixed type of earth and rock, and the top and slope are overgrown with weeds and many trees, and in addition to the dense bushes, it is indeed a good opportunity to set fires.
Seeing that the others did not refute their opinions, Du Zhenwei shouted behind him, "Flamethrowers, up." ”
Each brigade of the infantry division is equipped with a flamethrower unit, a total of 12 long-range jets with a range of 50 meters, and 24 large-caliber jets with a relatively wide coverage, so that they have a certain ability to suppress and clear flames.
Receiving the order of the brigade commander, the flamethrower team of Du Zhenwei's brigade dispatched six long-range jets and six large-caliber jets, and slowly walked towards the hill under the cover of the infantry unit.
"Fire, be sure to stop them." Although they didn't know who these people were wearing protective suits, the Japanese soldiers also had a hunch that these people might not be good men and women, and if they were allowed to get closer, they would be in danger to the people on the hill.
For a moment, all the remaining machine guns opened fire, and bullets rained down on the flamethrowers on the opposite side.
In front of the flamethrowers, the infantry soldiers set up special protective alloy shields, each shield is more than a person high, and can protect the person tightly, so that the devil's bullets can't hit the flamethrowers.
The bullet fired, hit the alloy shield with a crackling sound, and then fell to the ground weakly, and the alloy shield did not even see a single white mark except for a little spark.
Compared with the alloy shield integrated with special metal, how can the devil's aluminum bullet be an opponent, they shot desperately for a long time, but there was no effect.
"Fire, fire!" The remaining commanders of the devil were a little panicked, they couldn't imagine that these shields were so hard and terrifying, this was simply an indestructible turtle shell, so they shouted hoarsely, directing the grenadiers and mortars to fire.
If the grenadiers and mortars fire, although the alloy shield can withstand it, the huge shockwave soldiers generated will not be able to withstand it, after all, they are living flesh and blood, not modified cyborgs, in that case, the alloy shield will have loopholes, and then the devil's shot will inevitably hurt the flamethrowers behind.
But will the Yanhuang Legion give them a chance?
On the helicopter hovering in the sky, the sniper with a new sniper rifle was aiming at the devil's artillery through the sniper scope, and pulled the trigger at this time.
As bullets were fired, the devil artillery positions on the hill on the ground turned over and fell one by one, and no one could stand in the blink of an eye.
"Quick, the runners will shoot the cannonballs in their place." The commander of the devil shouted, directing the other fighters to go up.
But firing shells and grenades is also a technical job, not everyone is so proficient, and for a time the artillery positions were in chaos.
"Hey, little devil, grandpa let you taste peanuts." Some of the snipers dropped their sniper rifles, and instead grabbed the miniguns at the cabin door, and then aimed their guns at the devils.
There was a loud clatter, and the revolver machine gun was like a fire god, constantly spitting flames outward, and all the improvised artillery of the devils on the ground were hit and fell in large pieces.
At this point, the twelve flamethrowers walked not too far in front of the hill, and instead of poking their metal shields into the ground, they pulled open the shooting holes in the metal shields, allowing the flamethrowers to stick out the flamethrowers.
With a bang, one after another fire dragons shot forward from the alloy shield, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed the sky dozens of meters and fell to the hill, and the flames that rushed to the sky immediately burst into flames.
The flamethrower was filled with incendiary agent, a very viscous and flammable incendiary agent that adhered so well that it could hardly be shaken off as long as it was glued to it, and it was burned into a pile of ashes.
The twelve flamethrowers split into two echelons, with the long-range flamethrowers firing first, igniting the vegetation on the hill, while the remaining six flamethrowers began to advance and were soon within effective range.
"Put!" With a shout from the captain of the flamethrower, the large-caliber flamethrower was raised and aimed at the top of the mountain.
Flames that were much thicker than the fire dragon just now flew up from under the hill, and then scattered and exploded, enveloping the entire top of the hill, and all the places touched by the sparks were all beeping and burning.
In the blink of an eye, the top of the mountain became a Shura Hell, full of fierce flames, piercing orange-red flames, and a blazing breath that could be felt even when you stood at the bottom of the mountain.
A terrible scream rang out on the hill, and then I saw that all the devil soldiers on the devil's position stood up, their bodies burning with fire, and they stumbled and fled in all directions.
There was a burning smell of burning flesh and blood in the air, which made people a little disgusted when they asked, and the commanders and fighters under the mountain frowned slightly and took two steps back.
With a snort, a devil had lost his mind from the fire, fell from the edge of the hill, and fell not far in front of the people, but he was not dead, his body was still writhing, and his mouth was a low wail.
The warriors around the hill were all silent, but they did not let their guard down to prevent the devil from dying and throosing.
Du Zhenwei was the only one of these people who was very interested, he stood at the bottom of the mountain with his waist crossed, and laughed, "This thing is really good, it is really happy to be burned into roast duck with a light spray of little devils." ”
Xu Minghan and Zhu Daguang and several other brigade commanders were silent, and everyone didn't know why they suddenly felt that it was a bit too cruel to burn people alive like this.
Although they are enemies, at least respect must be had, and it is enough to kill them, there is no need to torture them like this.
Seeing that no one spoke, and no one laughed, the smile on Du Zhenwei's face slowly faded, and he felt a little embarrassed.
The flames on the hill burned from the beginning, and it lasted for ten minutes before it was extinguished, and during this time, the screams on the hill did not stop, and the poignancy made people a little creepy.
Finally, the fire was extinguished, but the soldiers of the Yanhuang Legion could not go up yet, because the temperature on the burned ground was quite high, and they couldn't stand it at all, and they had to wait for it to cool down for a while.
During this time, Brigade Commander Du Zhenwei came to Xu Minghan's side again and deliberately talked to him, probably not giving up and wanting to come step by step.
As for Du Zhenwei's meaning, Xu Minghan and Zhu Daguang knew very well, and the reason why they didn't break it was because this problem was a bit troublesome, so it was better to pretend that they didn't know anything.
After such a stop, the temperature on the hill dropped a lot, and people were able to go up, and immediately some troops rushed up the hill, ready to check the situation.
The hill was full of charred trees, and most of the weeds and vines and shrubs were burned to ashes, and only a little remained, in addition to the Japanese soldiers who had been burned to death, and only half of the weapons were left in the burned.
Originally, there was still some ammunition, but it was also destroyed in the raging fire just now, and all that was left was some fragments.
"Search carefully to see if there are any alive." The commander and fighter who led the team shouted loudly, and ordered his troops to begin to search the wreckage of the position.
All the way down, there was not a single living Japanese devil on the entire hill, it seems that the flame is too powerful, and it has made the devil into a big barbecue.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the fighters reported back to several brigade commanders, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The successful conclusion of the Battle of the Plains represents the successful conclusion of the first phase of the Battle of Meiling Town, and the next stage is the second phase of the battle.
Although the devil troops on the plain were wiped out, there were still two brigades of devils stationed in Meiling Town, and they originally planned to come to support, but they were blocked by the blocking troops at the gate of Meiling Town, and they could not move forward.
Now that the plain troops of the devils have been cleaned up, it will be the turn of the devils in Meiling Town to be unlucky.
Several brigade commanders deliberated for a while, and then decided to leave a part of their troops behind, and then sent two regiments to rush outside Meiling Town to prepare to participate in the counteroffensive against Meiling Town.
As for Xu Minghan's Third Brigade, because one regiment was not satisfied, only one regiment was sent to it, and the rest of the troops were divided into two routes, one regiment remained in the plain to carry out the aftermath work, and the other regiment was ready to go straight to the two devil brigades trapped in the valley to assist the remaining troops to eliminate those devils.
In this way, the troops did not have time to rest before they started and went straight to the outside of Meiling Town.
The second phase of the Battle of Meiling Town has officially begun!
