Chapter 80: Blocking the Shot

"What do you say" the veteran whispered, "yes"

"Yes, yes. Xu Rui nodded heavily, and said, "I can"

The veteran sneered and said, "Then I want to see what you do to stop the devil."

"It's simple." Xu Rui stretched out his finger and pointed to the map and said, "I decided to be here, Nishan, I decided to build a heavy machine gun position in Nishan, and carry out blocking shooting against the main force of the devils who returned from the south bank, so the brothers of the 67th Army only need to face the devil infantry brigade left behind the Jiangbei Break, and they don't need to consider the main force of the devils who come back." ”

"." Deputy Wan Ying said very unhappily, "Why should we block you?"

Xu Rui smiled and said, "I'll give you two pheasant necks, twelve crooked handles, plus three hundred three-eight covers and two base ammunition, you can't do it."

Deputy Wan Ying's eyes immediately lit up, and he said loudly: "Your words count."

"A mouthful of spit and a nail," Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "The equipment can be given to you now"

"Then it's decided, I'll take the equipment with me later." Deputy Wan Ying said loudly, "As long as the war is really fought according to the war games, the infantry brigade left by the little devil in Jiangbei will be handed over to our 67th Army, I will give you the words to stack this, if you let go of a devil in the past, Lao Tzu will have your surname"

"That's not necessary." Xu Rui smiled and turned his gaze to the veteran again.

The veteran said: "Are you joking with me using heavy machine guns to interdict fire, don't forget that the little devil still has the navy, and the gunboat, although the devil's gunboat does not have large-caliber naval guns, but even a 75-caliber rapid-fire gun is enough to blow up the heavy machine gun position on the muddy hill into the sky, what do you use to implement blocking fire?"

Xu Rui smiled and said, "What if I set the heavy machine gun position on the anticline?"

"Anti-cline" said the veteran, "If you set up a heavy machine gun position on the anti-cline of the muddy mountain, you can certainly avoid the naval artillery group of the little devils, but in this way, your heavy machine guns will not be able to hit the little devils who are grabbing the beach."

Xu Rui said: "Who said that if you set up a heavy machine gun position on the anti-slope plane, you will not be able to fight the devils who rush to land on the beach?"

"There is even a heavy machine gun position set on the anticline of the mountain" Cui Jiu on the side couldn't help but say, "How come I've never heard of it"

Xu Rui said: "That's because you are lonely and unheard. ”

Cui Jiu said: "Then you can say a battle example, and I'll listen to it." ”

Xu Rui said: "The Battle of the Somme, you should have heard of it."

Cui Jiu said: "Of course I know the Battle of the Somme, this is the largest battle in the First World War, the British and French forces plus the German army, the total number of casualties exceeded 1.3 million, the question is, the Battle of the Somme, what does it have to do with the heavy machine gun position on the anticline of the mountain"

"Say you're lonely and unheard, and you still don't admit it." Xu Rui snorted lightly, and said to the veteran, "Veteran, I believe you must have studied the Battle of the Somme, and you must have remembered what was going on, now you tell everyone what happened on the left flank of the British army in the Battle of the Somme."

Including Cui Jiu, everyone's eyes focused on the veteran's face.

The veteran nodded and said: "Before the Battle of the Somme began, the British and French troops carried out artillery preparations for seven days in order to destroy the German trench fortifications, and on the eighth day, the British and French troops launched a fierce attack on the German defense line from the front and the left and right flanks at the same time under the cover of the Xu Jin barrage. ”

Cui Jiu frowned and said, "It has something to do with heavy machine guns."

The veteran nodded: "That's right, the German army on the left flank concentrated two hundred Maxim heavy machine guns, and creatively built the heavy machine gun position on the anticline plane that the British and French forces could not hit by direct fire, and used the curved projectile trajectory to cover the British and French attack positions, and on the first day alone, more than 60,000 casualties were caused to the British and French forces."

"More than 60,000 casualties in one day"

"Lost, the British and French forces were beaten so badly"

"This barrage coverage of what kind of curved projectile trajectory is really so powerful"

The veteran's voice fell, and Lehi, Hei Qi and the others whispered.

Xu Rui smiled and said: "Do you know how these more than 60,000 British and French troops died, they were killed while hiding in the trenches, and the German army concentrated 200 Makqin heavy machine guns, at a 45-degree oblique angle to the sky, and dumped the bullets into the trenches of the British and French forces with a curved trajectory. ”

Li Hai, Hei Qi and the others were all awe-struck when they heard this, and they were all killed in the trenches, and they were even more fortunate on the uncovered river beach.

Cui Jiu also silently closed his mouth, feeling that he was really lonely.

The veteran said: "Okay, I admit that the heavy machine gun position is built on the anti-slope plane, and the use of barrage coverage can indeed block the river beach, but now there is another problem, the little devil's naval artillery group can't hit the heavy machine gun position on the anti-slope, but don't forget, the little devil still has aviation, and their bombers can hit the anti-slope." ”

Xu Rui said: "Let's not talk about whether this battle will be delayed until after dawn the next day, even if the progress is not smooth, the war will drag on until after dawn the next day, but the little devil's aviation will not be able to hit the anticline of the mountain, because the weather in East China will become bad tomorrow and the next two days, and the little devil's plane will not be able to go to the sky at all."

"Tomorrow and the next two days, the weather in East China will be bad," the veteran general said suspiciously, "how do you know?"

Xu Rui smiled and said to Jiang Nan: "Miss Jiangnan, you come and tell him." ”

Jiang Nan glanced at Xu Rui and said: "According to the information intercepted by the Fuxing Society, the weather in East China will indeed become bad tomorrow and the next two days, and the Japanese Central China Front Headquarters has issued instructions to all participating units that there will be no air support in the next two days. ”

Xu Rui said to the veteran: "How is it, is there any problem?"

"Yes." The veteran nodded, and added, "One last question." ”

"Speak." Xu Rui smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the veteran.

The veteran said in a deep voice: "Even if the little devil's gunboat can't hit the anticline of the muddy mountain, even if the little devil's air force can't take to the air to fight, but if you want to use the heavy machine gun position to block the devil who is grabbing the beach, the number of heavy machine guns needed is not a few, and the amount of ammunition required is an astronomical amount.

Xu Rui smiled and said, "What do you say?"

The veteran said in horror: "You shouldn't be thinking"

"You guessed it." Xu Rui said with a cruel smile, "The batch of weapons and ammunition we buried near Wuxi before is now coming in handy." ”

At this time, the veteran couldn't find an excuse at all, so he had to say weakly: "Lao Xu, so you have made up your mind."

"That's right, I've made up my mind" Xu Rui slapped heavily on the table, and said in a cruel voice, "This group of Taiwanese devils, none of them are allowed to leave the mainland alive"

After finishing speaking, Xu Rui turned around and shouted: "Xiao Qi"

Hei Qi immediately stepped forward and stepped forward and responded: "Yes"

Xu Rui said: "You take a platoon of brothers, and immediately cross the Yangtze River to the weapon burial site in the suburbs of Wuxi, I don't care what method you use, let alone how much price you pay, tomorrow before dark, you must retrieve 20 Type 92 heavy machine guns, each heavy machine gun must be equipped with 20 base ammunition."

"Yes," Lehi agreed, turning to leave.

"Wait." Jiang Nan suddenly called out to Li Hai, and said to Xu Rui again, "Battalion Commander Xu, do you know how much weight twenty Type 92 heavy machine guns are, if they are equipped with 20 bases of ammunition, how much weight will be added, a platoon is only forty people, how can it be possible to transport so many weapons and ammunition back?"

"That's Xiao Qi's business." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "As I said just now, no matter what method he uses, no matter how much price he pays, I just want the result, I just want him to transport twenty Type 92 heavy machine guns, along with 20 base ammunition, back to Nantong before dark tomorrow." ”

Jiang Nandao: "You are quite unreasonable. ”

Xu Rui ignored Jiang Nan anymore, and said to Hei Qi: "Xiao Qi, every time you delay here for one more minute, the difficulty of completing the task will increase by one point, don't go quickly."

"Yes" Hei Qi agreed, turned around and walked away.

Xu Rui turned his gaze to Li Hai again, and said in a deep voice: "The rest of the brothers can't rest and dig tunnels overnight. ”

Li Haidao: "Camp, you don't need to dig a tunnel, isn't this air-raid shelter ready-made, let's go to the air-raid shelter and block the entrance of the hole, otherwise it's over, why bother digging any tunnel?"

"Nope." Xu Rui said categorically, "This air-raid shelter is too far away from the dock, and the attack from the air-raid shelter is not sudden, if we can't catch the devil off guard, we will be more unlucky in this battle, so the tunnel must be as close to the dock as possible, and it is best to dig under the dock, so that it will be more sudden." ”

"Okay." Lehi turned around and gave a military salute and turned away.

Xu Rui said to the veteran again: "Veteran, you go with me to the mud mountain to see the terrain." ”

The veteran nodded, and immediately followed Xu Rui out of the cave, Jiang Nan shouted a few times, but Xu Rui didn't hear it.

Seeing that Xu Rui refused to pay attention to himself, Jiang Nan stomped his feet, returned to the temporary station of the Einsatzgruppen, set up a radio station and called the special liaison office in Shanghai.

Five minutes later, an encrypted telegram was placed on the desk of Du Xing, secretary of the Shanghai Special Committee.

After reading the telegram, Du Xing couldn't help but be startled, no, the remnants of a battalion of soldiers dared to fight a detachment of devils, this is a detachment, tens of thousands of devils Du Xing was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground with his glasses, this is really crazy
