Chapter Forty-Six: Very Bad!

Looking at the Fenning City under the raging artillery fire, the officers and men of the assault battalion who were waiting outside the city to prepare for the attack were undoubtedly extremely excited in their hearts. Artillery, as the king of war, its hideous and ferocious side is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Previously stationed in the forward positions, many officers and soldiers were worried that this siege battle was likely to cost them dearly. They are all veterans who have dealt with little devils, so they naturally know that little devils are difficult to deal with, not to mention that little devils are still on the defensive side.

No one expected that Hu Biao, who deployed this siege battle, would have such a large number of artillery. Under the repeated shelling, the little devils stationed in Fenning City were only left with trembling lives, and they were powerless to resist at all.

The officers and men of the assault battalion who want to attack from the city and have already established an offensive position, how can they have vegetarian weapons in their hands? If you don't attack it, if you want to break through, it's basically not very possible. Outside the city of Fenning, it was already surrounded by assault battalions.

Even the little devils stationed in Fenning City can immediately send a report asking for support. The problem is that compared to the previously captured Linxiang City, there are quite a few garrisons stationed next to it. And near Fenning City, there is basically no team of organized little devils.

The nearest Japanese garrison wanted to rush to the side of Fenning City, but I was afraid that it would have to wait until dawn. At that time, even if the little devil reinforcements arrived, I was afraid that the battle on the side of Fenning City would already be over.

The little devils, who were shrouded in the range of artillery fire, did not have time to send any rescue telegrams. The radio station set up at the garrison headquarters was buried in the collapsed rubble under the first round of artillery fire, along with the operator on duty.

The few little devils who survived, before they woke up from the nightmare, smashed down the second round of heavy artillery. It didn't take long for the Japanese army's carefully selected garrison headquarters to be turned into a sea of fire and ruins.

Even though there was a drizzle in the sky at the moment, it still could not extinguish the fire ignited by the shelling. Many houses in this era were basically wooden structures. Once ignited by artillery fire, it is almost impossible to extinguish it in a short time.

In addition to the marked military key points that were taken care of, Hu Biao also selected a few mountain artillery pieces from the mountain artillery battalions that were shelled for free fire. As long as the prisoner of war camp in the city is not shelled, then the shells can be dropped elsewhere.

The barracks with the largest number of troops stationed in the military camp were the areas that Hu Biao focused on taking care of. More than 20 mountain shells fell in each round, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to those little devils who were awakened in their sleep, and they couldn't find a place to hide.

Countless panicked little devil officers roared in their mouths: "Quick, get out of the camp!" Find a place to hide from the shelling! ”

It's a pity that most of the little devils who have completely fried the pot are embarrassed and don't know where to flee. At this moment, the Japanese army, who was responsible for guarding the city wall, also began to send troops, intending to enter the city to check the situation.

There were also officers who called the barracks and the garrison headquarters, but the results were that they could not be contacted. Without the permission of the superior commander, even if a little devil officer wanted to open the city and urge the destruction of the artillery positions outside the city, there was no order!

Compared with the chaos of the Japanese army in the city, the prisoners of war who were imprisoned in the concentration camp looked at the artillery fire rising in the city, and said with a shocked face: "Good boy! Has our main force fought back? This shelling is too fierce, isn't it? ”

"With so many shells coming in, will it fall on our heads?"

It was clear that the shells fired from outside the city must have been fired by the side that was fighting against the Japanese army. Some people were happy and thought they should be rescued soon. Some people are worried that the shells will not last long and hit the concentration camps.

It was at this time that a patrol of little devils located near the concentration camp rushed over with a panicked face. The little devil who was in charge of guarding the prisoners of war did not suspect the identity of these patrol soldiers in the slightest.

When these patrols rushed over, they took out a crossbow from their bosoms, and after pulling the trigger, one after another crossbow arrows shot out. When the sentinels reacted, most of them didn't have time to make any moves to resist.

The sentries closest to the patrol were stabbed directly. The prisoners of war who were imprisoned in the concentration camp felt a little confused and puzzled when they saw the little devils and the little devils killed together outside the prison.

Fortunately, some prisoners of war soon rejoiced: "These little devils should be the ones who came to save us!" ”

"Wouldn't it? Who is so bold as to dare to break into the nest of little devils? Once discovered, they are dead! ”

"Don't be noisy! Keep watching, I'm sure there will be an answer soon! ”

As these prisoners of war guessed, the Japanese patrol that attacked the concentration camp was disguised by the combat members of the task force under Hu Biao. According to Hu Biao's previous arrangement, the shelling outside the city was the signal to move the action.

Kill the little devil who was in charge of guarding the prisoners of war, and the combat platoon commander who led the team quickly said: "Occupy the high ground in the camp and build fortifications outside the camp." As soon as someone approaches, stop it! Bring all the captured weapons over! ”

"Yes, platoon commander!"

Hu Biao, who had only arranged for one combat platoon to lurk, also knew that once this combat platoon was discovered, the situation would be very serious. But after the shelling, I believe that the little devils in the city will also be in a mess. Delay a little, and the combat platoon should be able to do it.

In order to gain more time for self-preservation, the combat platoon commander also knew that he had to rescue some prisoners of war and let them join his combat unit to resist the little devils who might attack him later. It's not a bad thing to take precautions in advance.

Looking at the fighters who rushed into the concentration camp, many prisoners of war asked happily: "Brother, what part of yours?" ”

"Silence! Time is of the essence, too late to explain more! I was the detachment leader of the Einsatzgruppen team, and our group leader commanded the battle outside the city. I have a limited number of troops at the moment, so I need to recruit some fighters from among you.

Later, I will open the cell door, and the officers will come out first, and then they will come out in order according to the age of the soldiers. Brothers who have not been in the army for a long time, please stay patient in the battalion. When the large army enters the city, it will naturally rescue you together.

There is an ugly saying ahead, no matter what position you held before. When you participate in the battle, you must obey my command unconditionally. If you disagree, you can walk away. If you can break out on your own, I have nothing to say! ”

With these words, many prisoners of war also became silent. Fortunately, an officer soon said: "Brother, please rest assured, we will definitely cooperate!" I'm an officer, I apply to join the fight! ”

"Good! Those were all weapons and ammunition that I had captured, including rifles and machine guns, as well as a few mortars and grenadiers. I've seen it before, and the camp is well built, and the camp walls can also be used as fortifications.

As long as we hold out for a while, we will be rescued when the big army enters the city. If someone retreats, just stay in jail and don't make trouble. I'm going to have the locks open now, and I hope you'll do my bidding! ”

From the mouth of the combat platoon commander, the prisoners of war who had already learned about the current situation also knew that whether they could leave the camp alive also depended on whether they could hold on until the time when the large army entered the city. If not, they won't be able to leave alive.

Fortunately, the combat platoon prepared a lot of weapons and ammunition, plus a lot of prisoners of war held in the concentration camps. The current situation is that there are definitely not enough weapons. If there are enough weapons, these prisoners of war can be armed.

Priority is given to officers and veterans, and they also feel that these people have stronger combat literacy and ability to withstand pressure. Looking at the weapons that were being brought into the concentration camps one after another, many prisoners of war also knew that it was indeed safer to have a weapon in their hands.

Of course, there were also some prisoners of war who knew that they would have to participate in the battle later after receiving their weapons. Whether offensive or defensive, there will always be people who will die. Compared to prisoners of war with guns, prisoners of war without guns live longer.

A few officers were selected and given temporary platoon officers, and the combat platoon commander armed a reinforced company. Relying on the high walls built by the concentration camp, fortifications began to be built at the camp gate and around the camp wall to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking.

In fact, when the defenders in the city were constantly subjected to shelling, and the garrison headquarters was destroyed for the first time, the little devils in the city became like headless flies. The prisoners of war held in the concentration camps also seem to have been forgotten by the little devils.

Occasionally, little devils would come running over and see the sentries building fortifications, most of them thought that they were the sentries guarding the prisoners of war. Just when these little devils were examined, they were quickly and secretly executed.

As a result, it is obvious that these little devils who originally wanted to run to the prisoner of war camp to avoid artillery fire soon became meat buns and dogs, and there was no return. The weapons they carried were quickly delivered to the prisoners of war who were waiting for them.

It wasn't until a group of little devils who withdrew from the city wall and were ready to check the situation in the city noticed that the situation was not right on the side of the prisoner of war camp, and finally exchanged fire with the combat detachment. The prisoner of war camp soon became a new battlefield.

The prisoners of war who cooperated with the operation also felt great admiration when they saw the officers and men of this group of officers and men who claimed to be the special forces team almost knock down the powerful gunfire of a little devil with one shot. Especially these people operate grenadiers and machine guns, and they are more accurate than the little devils!

Seeing this scene, many prisoners of war who cooperated with the battle also said with emotion: "Good guy! These people are amazing! This marksmanship is too accurate! With them, we should be able to hold out until the big army enters the city, right? ”

Hu Biao, who had been outside the city to watch the effects of the shelling, also heard the sound of gunfire coming from the prisoner of war camp. Realizing that the prisoner of war camp had already exchanged fire with the little devils, Hu Biao immediately said: "Let the third assault battalion start attacking!" ”

The commander of the 3rd Assault Battalion, which was lurking closest to the prisoner of war camp, received the siege order from Hu Biao and immediately said: "Artillery platoon, start shelling immediately!" Demoman, ready to blast open the gates! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Before the assault battalions entered the predetermined attack position, they all received the corresponding weapons, ammunition and artillery from Hu Biao. Even if these artillery pieces are not as powerful as those commanded by Hu Biao, the power of infantry artillery and mortars should not be underestimated!

Seeing the sound of artillery bombardment coming from outside the city gate, as well as the cannonballs coming straight to the city wall, the little devil in charge of guarding the city also began to panic: "Baga! The Chinese army has begun to attack the city! Quick, take cover, and get ready for battle! ”

Realizing that there were already formal siege troops outside the city, the little devils guarding the city walls also knew that it was time for hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, in order to check the losses in the city, they had already withdrawn a number of troops.

Now in the face of the sudden attack, the remaining Japanese troops defending the city are still somewhat worried. Most worrying was the artillery of the attacking troops outside the city, who were simply unable to fight back.

With the attack on the city wall where the prisoner of war camp is located, in order to avoid the Japanese army dividing troops to reinforce, Hu Biao said: "Order the rest of the assault battalions to start attacking!" Before breaking into the city, just contain the little devils who are holding the city! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

As long as the resting little devils in the city are disabled, it is relatively easy to solve the remaining little devils who are responsible for guarding the city wall. After all, the number of defenders sent by the little devils to the city walls is actually not much.

In order to put more pressure on the little devils in the city, Hu Biao said again: "Order the heavy artillery platoon and adjust the shelling parameters!" Urge me to destroy the little devil's material warehouse in the city, and I want the little devil to have nowhere to escape! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

After five rounds of heavy artillery strikes, the heavy artillery platoon is also stepping up to adjust the angle of the shelling. The garrison headquarters that was shelled before, as long as there were no accidents, I believe that after five rounds of shelling, it should be completely destroyed.

Even if there are still survivors, it is estimated that there will not be too many. The power of heavy artillery is known to those who have experienced it. Even if Hu Biao prepared a lot of shells, it will not be wasted, and it will be one shot that can be saved!

As the heavy artillery platoon began to adjust the angle of the shelling, the sound of heavy artillery that terrified the surviving Japanese troops in the city sounded again. Looking at the place where the shell fell, the little devil who originally ran over to avoid the artillery fire fled in a hurry again.

And among them, there were several little devil officers, seeing that there were shells directly hitting the warehouse, and they were even more shocked and said: "Baga! Finished! Now, we're really dead! Quick, break out! In any case, break out as soon as possible! ”

Just when many little devils didn't know why, after a few loud noises, the ammunition stored in the warehouse was quickly detonated. Looking at the rising flames, there was a pungent smell and yellow smoke, and many little devils knew why they had to break through.

"Damn! It's a special bomb! Oh my! The special bomb was detonated, and we are really dead! ”

Even Hu Biao did not expect that the ammunition depot set up by the Japanese army in the city actually stored a batch of special ammunition that was transported from the rear and was ready to be transported to the front line for combat. Everyone knows what a terrible end will be caused by the spread of special bombs.

Hu Biao, who had been observing the effect of the shelling, soon saw the rising firelight, which seemed to be different from before. When Hu Biao realized that there were likely to be special ammunition among the ammunition that had been detonated earlier, Hu Biao was also a little dumbfounded.

scolded secretly: "Damn! These damn little devils actually have special ammunition stored in the city! ”

Realizing this, Hu Biao immediately ordered the 3rd Assault Battalion to speed up the siege. The troops on the other three sides immediately ended the siege and retreated into the previous reserve positions to start arranging. Secondly, Hu Biao also personally rushed to the location where the 3rd Assault Battalion was located.

After handing out all the gas masks he had to the combat troops, Hu Biao also knew that the prisoners of war had to be rescued. Once the special ammunition spreads, waiting for the fate of those prisoners of war, I am afraid it will be very bad!
