Chapter 61: The Bloody Lonely City (2)
When the battle came to this point, Jiang Haoran was no longer thinking about the issue of life and death, if the Nanshan Independent Brigade was left for one more day, the troops of the entire southern front of the devil would not dare to move, and the attack on Yangxin and De'an would be weakened, although it may still not be able to change the defeat of Wuhan, but at least it could win even a few hours to transfer more supplies and people out of the city.
Because the devil's artillery fire is concentrated on the main body of the city wall, the firepower under the ruins is not as dangerous as it seems from the outside, but the powerful blasting power and explosion sound are mixed with whirring bullets, which is indeed very shocking and terrifying. As soon as Jiang Haoran came up, he turned out a few soldiers who were pressed under the stones. Although tanks can be seen in the city, the sappers who demine this mine are not as high as tanks, so Jiang Haoran glanced at a corner of the city wall and found that pieces of Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground, forming a circle one by one, and kept shoveling soil outside. Several oil drums have been successfully removed from the dirt, and a few devils are busy rolling behind the tanks. Visually inspecting the distance, the tanks had advanced to less than five hundred meters from the city walls, and the sappers were even closer, less than three hundred meters.
At this time, the devil's cannon suddenly stopped, after all, the sappers advanced too close, and the devil was afraid of hurting his own people. At the moment when the cannon stopped suddenly, Jiang Haoran suddenly flashed out of the broken wall, and with a flick of the rifle in his hand, a gunshot rang out, and an oil drum in the middle of the two tanks suddenly burst into flames, and the fuel splashed everywhere covered the left and right tanks in an instant, and the machine gunners on the gun tower suddenly became two burning men, and as the machine gunner fell, thick black smoke rolled out of the gun tower. Jiang Haoran was not satisfied with this achievement, as the gunshots continued to sound, several oil drums that had not had time to be removed exploded, and four or five tanks, as well as the Japanese troops hidden around the tanks, were suddenly killed in the flames.
In fact, only four of the dozen tanks of the devil are Type 95 light tanks with 37mm tank guns, and the others are Type 94 ultra-light "Xiaodou" tanks, this kind of guy weighs no more than 3.2 tons, and the firepower configuration is a 7.7mm heavy machine gun, and the armor thickness is only 6 to 12 mm. Even the 7.92 mm steel core bullet manufactured by Nanjing Jinling Arsenal can easily penetrate its armor at a distance of 100 meters, but unfortunately, in previous wars, the weak ** did not have the courage to resist, and many troops fled and did not dare to confront this kind of light armored vehicle with many defects, which caused it to act recklessly on the land of China, and it actually exerted extraordinary power.
Because of Jiang Haoran's arrival, some veterans also came out of the bunker one after another, and then all the officers and soldiers of the mobile battalion also set up light and heavy machine guns one after another under Su Peng's shouting and scolding. Coupled with the explosion of several oil barrels, the devil's camp was panicked for a while, and the devil's tank was also clanged by bullets, although it couldn't penetrate its armor, but this rain-like bullet net made the devil's machine gunner have to retract into the turtle shell.
Originally, it was out to clear the mines, and it was not the attack formation of the Butan Coordination, of course, it was not possible to talk about the echelon firepower configuration, plus under such a powerful artillery fire, the devil did not expect that the Nanshan Independent Brigade still had such a strong firepower, Jiang Haoran and their few blows, so that the devil was a little caught off guard, the mine was not cleared, of course it is unrealistic to go forward, but it is not possible to stand here and be beaten, the tank can only choose to retreat, and there are not many devil sappers who have fled under the cover of the tank. On the battlefield, in an instant, there were only five jet-black tanks left, and the corpses of forty or fifty devil sappers. Of course, two of the five tanks were crushed by mines and must have been scrapped. But these three have been doused with fire oil, but it is not necessarily, because the engine of another one is still roaring, and it is estimated that the devil was haunted by fire oil and ran away with the door.
Seeing that the devil had retreated, the ** on the position began to cheer, Jiang Haoran fired a shot into the sky in disappointment, and shouted: "Bring the wounded soldiers and retreat immediately, the devil will open fire immediately!" ”
No one hesitated, because if there was a brain, they could imagine it, and as soon as the devil retreated, the shell would be pressed up, which was the devil's consistent way of playing.
But there were also people who didn't listen to the order, Su Peng took the two people and ran desperately to the outside position, Jiang Haoran was just about to attack, but immediately understood what they were doing, and no longer stopped, but showed a smile. Immediately, three explosions sounded outside, and a cloud of smoke came out of the devil's three tanks.
The Sharp Knife Battalion also caught up, looking for the living brother in the ruins, and under Jiang Haoran's repeated urging, everyone quickly retreated into the trenches of the Sharp Knife Battalion, and more than a dozen wounded soldiers were also rushed to the temporary hospital.
In the trenches, Liu He rubbed his hands together and looked pale, as if he had mustered up the courage to say to Jiang Haoran: "Brigade, brigade, you can't be like this anymore, if something happens to you, the entire army will collapse." ”
"That's it, I almost didn't let him kill when I stopped him!" Yuan Dong seemed to have finally found a backer, and lost no time in venting his dissatisfaction.
"Alright! How about the North Gate? Jiang Haoran didn't know this truth, but sometimes his blood and qi surged, and he didn't think about it so much at all, knowing that he was at a loss, and he didn't want to dwell on this problem anymore, so it was immediately a big move. Of course, this is also his main concern at the moment.
Liu He didn't dare to say anything more, Jiang Haoran didn't throw his face at him, he was already very good. Anyway, this meaning has spread out, and a smart person like Jiang Haoran can naturally understand the power in the middle. "The attack at the north gate is not strong, and the devil seems to be making a fool of himself, trying to hold back some of our troops."
"I'm cāo damn it, I knew Okamura Ninji would do this!"
As soon as Jiang Haoran's words fell, the cannonballs at the south gate exploded again, but this time he didn't even go up the city wall, and threw them directly on the position outside. The dense shells stretched all the way, and the entire position was directly bombarded with smoke and flames.
"It's really fucking cunning, the sappers can't clear the mines, he directly uses cannonballs to platoon." Jiang Haoran was dumbfounded while scolding, he knew that in this way, his only reliance was knocked out by the devil. Next, it was time for the devil to coordinate and launch a general attack, and he immediately shouted to a guard: "Go, go to the north gate to see if the two 92 infantry guns are still alive, if they are, order Yuan Dong to transfer a few artillery pieces with me!" ”
There are no small-caliber cannons in the devil's supplies, and these two were turned out of the soil when they were cleaning up the battlefield yesterday. Because yesterday Jiang Haoran took the headquarters of the 27th Division, thinking that the devils might not attack them from the south gate, he assigned these two guns to the north gate, who knew that the situation had taken such a big reversal.
Liu He looked at the artillery fire outside, as if thinking: "Luzao, don't you think the devil is too abnormal?" ”
"What's the anomaly?" Jiang Haoran looked puzzled.
"Why do the devils avoid shells hitting the town, isn't it easier for them to destroy us by bombarding us directly? The devils have consumed so many shells and troops to fight against us, do you really think that we will leave them with supplies? Is there anything else in the town that we haven't found and the devil doesn't want to destroy. ”
"Stone House!" Jiang Haoran exclaimed, he suddenly remembered that when he first found the devil's materials, there were still a few stone houses that had not been opened, and then he forgot about it when he was busy.
