Chapter 65: Celestial Flower Queen

For permanent fortifications of reinforced concrete construction, machine guns and machine guns are purely scratching the shoe, and mortars and small-caliber field guns pose basically no threat as long as they do not hit directly. It was entirely logical to think that attack planes with heavy bombs should solve the problem—the soldiers with the task force walked through them, and Weiss did not measure them carefully, and deduced from his senses and experience that these fortifications were by no means good, and the frontal walls were at least two feet thick, and the large ones were more than three feet. It is indeed difficult to deal with these fortifications by conventional means, but the ancestors of the Orientals have a very incisive summary of the objective laws of things: the strongest fortresses are often broken from within.

After sweeping seven or eight forts, Weiss and his men came to a large fortress with rails on the ground, equipped with a steel rotating turret with twin guns, judging by the rotation and ammunition supply structure, which should have been the original ration for flying warships. Perhaps it was the sharp decrease in the number of flying warships due to the soaring technical and tactical level of aircraft, or perhaps it was an old cargo dismantled from a damaged battleship, no matter where it came from, placed here, it was a strong firepower against the air and ground, and it was precisely because of the large caliber of the shells that the Normans used ammunition trucks to transport ammunition, for which they laid improvised tracks.

Just follow this pair of railroad tracks to find the enemy's ammunition depot!

However, the ammunition depot was so important that the Normans did not take the design lightly. In this large fortification, the rails "disappeared" under a heavy iron gate, which did not move no matter how much it was pushed, pulled, or pulled. Don't you want to do a directional blasting?

Weiss narrowed his eyes, he originally intended to see how difficult this steel door was, but through the gap under the door, he saw traces of enemy activity behind the door, and hurriedly whispered to the advance team soldiers beside him: "Attention...... There are enemies inside! They're coming out! ”

Sure enough, with a tooth-aching grinding sound, the iron door slowly opened from the inside out. Weiss hid behind the door, clenched his pistol, arched himself, ready to rush in. This gun is full of magazines and insurance, and this person is nervous and ready to fire...... When the gap in the iron door was enough for a person to pass sideways, a head suddenly poked out of it - this was a Norman soldier wearing a boat-shaped beanie, he subconsciously stuck out his head to look at the situation outside, but he didn't expect that his gunners had all burped, and in addition to the blood on the ground, there was also a group of fierce enemies in the fortress! To say that this guy reacted quickly enough, he quickly retracted his head, presumably planning to close the iron door, but how could Weiss give him a chance to escape? The body immediately bounced out like a cat and mouse, opened the bow left and right, and fired four shots in a row at the door, and then squinted to observe: inside the door was a long passage, a wall lamp emitted a dim light, and there were four Normans in sight, one had been beaten into "bloody skins", and three were mediocre in battle. In this situation, Weiss didn't care whether they wanted to flee or surrender, and fired continuously with both guns in both hands, sending them all to the place in the blink of an eye.

"Follow me!"

Having killed the enemy behind the door, Weiss did not hesitate to beckon his soldiers into the passage. Just now, these four Norman soldiers pushed two ammunition trucks along the tracks, loaded with six shells and six sets of propellants. Judging by the specifications of the shells, the caliber of the twin guns on the fortress exceeded 50PIR, that is, 250 mm. In the era when flying warships completely dominated the sky, ground artillery of this caliber was the basic configuration used to defend against enemy fleets, and bombarding ground targets had a devastating effect.

After entering the enemy's fortress system, Weiss divided his officers and soldiers into two groups, one group with mortars to hold on to the fortress that broke through first, and the rest followed him all the way here. Seeing the enemy's two trolleys, he thought for a moment, left five soldiers behind the steel gate to guard the way out, and told them that they could use these ammunition to deter the enemy if necessary.

After two divisions, Weiss was left with more than twenty soldiers behind him. As they walked inside, the forks became more and more forked, and the feeling of cobwebs was scattered, but this was nothing compared to the sewer world of Aocheng, and the real obstacle was the Norman soldiers who hurriedly delivered ammunition to the various gun emplacements. Hearing the sound of gunfire in the passage, they realized that the situation was not good, and they all took up their weapons and stood vigilantly at the fork in the road, and all kinds of warning shouts were incessant.

The wisdom of the battlefield can be light or dark, big or small. Acting skills can sometimes work, but you can't go all the way to the end, and at the critical moment, you still have to show the courage to meet the brave and win on the narrow road...... Weiss took the lead in the front, and the distance between the corner and the fork, the fork and the fork was less than 100 feet, and the agility and speed of the pistol were brought into full play. Relying on the accurate prediction provided by the "human radar", he walked and fought like a killing god, as if chopping melons and vegetables, and the soldiers of the advance team supported them with rifle fire, but the light machine guns did not come in handy.

In the face of this tactic of rushing and fighting, the Norman soldiers in the passage lacked both psychological preparation and combat experience, and most of them could not dodge, were knocked down on the spot, and occasionally cleverly, hid to the side, shouted for support from their companions, and occasionally fired blindly with the weapons in their hands - although this kind of shooting was not aimed, it required great courage and some luck to meet the bullet assault, and Weiss did not lack it. His extraordinary courage made the soldiers of the guerrilla advance detachment surging with him. You must know that before coming to Lorraine, many of them had little actual combat experience, but during this period of time, they had little head-to-head confrontation with the Normans, and they were chased by the Normans in circles in the mountains and forests.

As he fought, a heavy iron door appeared in front of him, the door was ajar, and the knob used to control the opening and closing of the iron door was located outside the door, indicating that the door was opened from the outside, and usually only warehouses would be designed like this.

There was no one on the knob, to be precise, scared to the side by the nearer gunshots. Weiss squinted, the brainwave detection could not pass the thick cement and steel plates, so he could only peek into a small area inside the half-open steel door: there were people inside, and there were countless powerful ammunition......

Before Weiss and the others could get closer, a very excited voice came from the door: "Get out, Federalists, if you dare to come here, you will all die!" ”

The dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, not to mention the Normans who grew up in a martial atmosphere, Weiss motioned for the advance party soldiers to pause their advance. The underground labyrinth was quieter than the exchange of fire, but the shouts of the Normans could still be heard in the passage, as well as the sound of gunfire and explosions coming from outside. Norman soldiers guarded the ammunition depot, even if there were only three or five men, it was not advisable to force a force, but there was no point in confronting the enemy here. Weiss quickly weighed the situation and decisively made the decision to withdraw the same way. When the fighters of the guerrilla advance party began to retreat, he walked alone in the opposite direction, and came to the iron gate of the ammunition depot against the wall of the passage, hung two spinach bullets on the twisting plate that opened and closed the iron door, and screwed the twisting disc and the pull ring together with a homemade wire buckle - the Normans would never turn the twisting plate until they had opened the wire.

Such a conspicuous bomb trap, as long as the Norman soldiers are not dizzy and move around, only the effect of delaying them to open and close the iron door of the ammunition depot will not blow up the ammunition depot. On the way back, passing by the ammunition cart left on the railroad tracks by the Normans, Weislett's companion with a time bomb set a five-minute delay to detonate it, and stuffed the bomb to the bottom of the stack of shells, which was the layout that made real sense.

For five minutes, if they ran unhindered, they could run through the passages and artillery barricades from the ammunition depot and run directly out of the position, and even over the "moat" used by the Normans to separate the city of Slien, but at the iron gate between the passage and the fort, they encountered the Norman soldiers coming in from outside. The gap at the iron gate was narrow, and the Norman soldiers could not resist the fire of their opponents, and they did not dare to use pineapple bullets and flamethrowers, but Weiss took advantage of them: a few spinach bullets directly cleared the way out, and they hurried out of the passage, following the route they had come to meet their remaining companions. Running and running, on the sidewalk between the two forts, they coldly bumped into a group of Norman soldiers. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and in the case of close proximity, they could immediately identify each other's identities, so this trick, without even a word, the two sides split their heads and faces. The scene of bullets flying and blood rushing continued for a while, and the dozen or so guerrilla task force fighters who remained behind killed the Normans, who could not have expected that they would be flanked by the raiders on both sides in their own territory, and they would be instantly defeated. At this moment, there was a violent tremor on the ground, as if there was an active volcano below, and a huge amount of magma was about to erupt......

The enemy's ammunition depot exploded, and Weiss did not have a clear idea of how large the destruction could be, and he hurriedly urged the soldiers to evacuate. After a few steps outside, an even more violent tremor was heard, and a huge explosion sounded in his ears like the thunderous wrath of the gods, and not far behind him, a terrible force broke through the ground, and the reinforced concrete fortress built by the Normans actually shattered as fragile as a matchbox.

People who have never seen a big scene are easily overwhelmed by surprise at this time, Weiss shouted while dragging those stunned soldiers: "Run! Keep running! Don't stop! ”

In the hurry, many fighters did not even have time to pick up their weapons, and the mortars were abandoned, but the wounded companions were not pulled down. Against the backdrop of the thick smoke, this group of brave raiders supported each other, and retreated to the Norman "moat" in embarrassment but not embarrassed, and their previous breakthrough also provided convenience for their comrades in other combat detachments, so they were not intercepted by the enemy on the way back, but they were no longer able to engage in attacks on other enemy positions in such a situation.
