Chapter 54: The Fierce Battle (3)
Finally, the devil Nakasa is not going to play a game of cat and mouse with ** here anymore, he ordered the thin-skinned tank across the river to fire shells in this direction, hoping to beat out the ** soldiers hiding in the cotton field.
With a "boom", the shell came out of the muzzle of the tank, with a sharp whistling, and landed in the cotton field across the river, immediately blowing down a large area of cotton in the cotton field, and two soldiers who were carrying on their backs hid in that position, and when the shell fell, it was blown to pieces.
As if for the sake of demonstration, after one shell, the tank fired several more shells, and the deafening explosion was almost continuous, so that people's ears could not get a moment of peace, and the earth trembled incessantly in the explosion, as if there had been an earthquake.
Of course, this kind of blind shooting by the devils is more of a demonstration, except for the first shell that blew up two people, the subsequent shells did not hit a single person, that is, even the shrapnel flew away and injured anyone.
However, the cotton fields, which were like undulating seas just now, have been blown up several hollows of different sizes under the bombardment of devils' artillery fire, and the cotton on all sides is lying down, as if it has experienced a catastrophe.
"Damn, these devils are crazy, aren't they?" Yizhimei cursed behind Xiao Linghu.
Xiao Yang was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother Yan, what are you talking about?" Why are devils crazy? ”
Yizhimei said: "If they weren't crazy, how could they fight randomly?" Like a mad dog? ”
Xiao Linghu was speechless, of course he knew that their purpose was to delay the time of the devils, and these devils, why weren't they buying time?
The devil's sappers began to work again, assembling the bridge at an accelerated pace, and had already pushed two boats into the river, and were now locking the third boat.
Xiao Linghu couldn't help but look at his pocket watch, more than half an hour had passed since the devil came over, and the goal of making the devil lag for an hour on the other side of the river could definitely be achieved, and now he still had to find a way to delay the devil's crossing of the river.
Yizhimei said: "The devil will shoot us with artillery, why don't we shoot the devil too?" ”
Xiao Linghu's heart couldn't help but move, indeed, in the first battalion, there are four mortars, which is already a luxury for a battalion, and I don't know how Liang Yan got it in the first place.
At this time, their mortars had been erected at the back of the cotton field, just waiting for an order from him, the battalion commander.
Xiao Linghu nodded and said to Xiao Yang: "You go and give the order and order Company Commander Li to open fire!" Remember, let them withdraw as soon as they finish the shells, and never stop for another minute! ”
Xiao Yang has now become Xiao Linghu's herald, and he responded excitedly and ran away.
At this time, the snipers who were scattered began to aim and shoot again, they were like a group of elusive wolves, and from time to time when the devils were not paying attention, they jumped out of the tree and bit them.
A few more devil sappers fell in a pool of blood, and at this time the ghost infantry on the opposite bank was also lying on the bank of the river, constantly shooting at the cotton fields on this side, as long as they saw a fire, they would attack the place and shoot this side, bullets like rain, shuttling in the cotton field, I don't know what I hit, but it has made these ** snipers, it is impossible to hit the enemy as they did just now, and they must always guard against their bodies will be exposed. After firing a shot, they immediately dodged to the side, in case the devil shot at the sound of the gunshot.
It is also in this kind of battle, although it is not very fierce, but it is very dangerous, the two sides are in full swing when they are down, and they listen from a distance, as if they are shooting tentatively.
But at this time, the mortars of the first battalion roared, mixed with the sound of the artillery of the devil tanks, and the explosion was near the road near the shore on the other side of the river.
That position was repeatedly calculated by the **gunners, even if it was not very accurate, it was enough to disturb the sappers of the devils assembled on the riverbank.
The first mortar shell fell near the devil tank, and there were many devils around this tank, and they didn't have time to disperse, and they didn't think that there would be mortars coming, so a few unresponsive devil soldiers were blown out in the explosion of the mortar shell, some were stunned, some were directly hit by the debris and died, and more devils fell to the ground and were injured.
Immediately after, the second, third, fourth, and ** mortar shells were fired one after another, sweeping thousands of troops, and they hit left and right along the road on the north bank of the Panjia River, so that the devils fled to hide in the cotton fields.
It's just that the devil's tank, although it was swept away by two shells, was not able to explode on the car, because it was not an armor-piercing shell, although it was scattered shrapnel, it could not penetrate their not thick armor, but it also blew up the armor with craters everywhere.
The devil Nakazo, who was still roaring just now, didn't know where to hide at this time, that is, the tank, which was able to fire a few shells, hit the artillery position of **, and exploded in smoke and dust.
However, after all, the mortar shells were limited, and they only stopped when they fired more than 20 shells.
Xiao Yang ran back from behind and told Xiao Linghu that the artillerymen had finished shooting the shells, and immediately removed the barrels according to his orders, and evacuated quickly, and one of the gunners was burned by the hot barrels.
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a roar like a sea of mountains in the distance on the opposite side, Xiao Linghu shouted that it was not good, and took Xiao Yang to the ground together.
I only heard more than a dozen shells flying over their heads, like wild bees, straight towards the mortar position where they had just fired.
These devil artillery is really powerful, their calculations are very accurate, with the landing point of the ** shells observed from a distance, you can accurately find the approximate ** artillery position, if it is not for Xiao Linghu is very experienced in ordering the gunners of those mortars to withdraw from the position, I am afraid that at this time, it is inevitable that people and artillery will fall into the devil's counterattack and be blown to pieces.
"Company commander, you're amazing!" Getting up from the ground, Xiao Yang still habitually called Xiao Linghu that, but his eyes were full of admiration.
Yizhimei also picked up the steel helmet she had dropped, and said with a smile: "It's not powerful, how can he be the battalion commander?" ”
However, Xiao Linghu couldn't laugh at all, he had already found that the devil's sappers had already pushed the fourth boat into the water, and their pontoon bridge was about to be erected.
