Chapter 307: It Seems to Be Too Late
'Boom! 381 mm shells exploded in Koga Castle, setting off waves of warm air mixed with stones, broken wood, shrapnel and all kinds of human remnants.
A 155mm howitzer alone is enough for a headache, and the kind of shock that occurs when a shell explodes is enough to stun a person within a certain range to death. Not to mention the larger-caliber, more powerful 381-mm shipborne guns. The cannonball seems to be just swearing an oath of their dissatisfaction and all kinds of hatred for Yue himself, but it is real and clear, but they don't know why they hate Yue so much.
After the explosion of the 381-mm shell, in addition to the shock, there was a fierce sense of fear in their hearts, feeling the terrible tremor from the earth, and the young dolls were even more frightened and cried loudly. The women hugged their children tightly and cried quietly. Older men scurried from side to side trying to find a safe place.
But they felt the terrible tremor coming from the earth, and even if there was a place under the place, where a cannonball could not reach, they still felt fear in their hearts.
Koga Castle, as well as some of the surrounding small villages. Wherever the artillery fire spreads, there are raging fires everywhere, and the unique characteristics of this book have become a beautiful scenery of this book at this time. At the same time, it also did the Wehrmacht a great favor. Often, a single shell can destroy several houses, or even more.
Lack of resources, most of the houses they live in are only made of wood, which is similar to the country, earthen houses are the mainstream, and bricks and tiles are lived in by rich people. Even if the wooden house is a national and protected species, it is not something you can see if you want to see it. Moreover, the gap in the middle of the house is relatively small, as long as a house is on fire, it is easy to spread to other places.
This is also the reason why a single artillery shell can often solve a large number of residential houses, and with such natural conditions, the future progress of the Wehrmacht will not be much slower.
"Good luck to you, brethren, we have arrived!" Li Fugui said with some envy to the officers and men of the Third Marine Division who landed in the landing.
At that time, Li Fugui, who was high-spirited, signed up for the National Defense Force with his companions in the village, and originally imagined that one day he would be able to hold a steel gun and a steel helmet on his head and fight to the death with the enemy on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, he was eventually assigned to the navy. It doesn't matter if we get to the navy, if we can't get a gun, we will take the artillery, and it is also a more pleasant thing to smash the enemy's warships with artillery. But later, Li Fugui was disappointed again.
Li Fugui, who became a navy, couldn't even get on a warship, and the rest were assigned to logistics units. Later, I once saw others watching the landing craft play very cool, and I couldn't help it for a while, so I secretly took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to it and went up to play, not to mention, the feeling of driving the landing craft was really cool.
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances, and Li Fugui, who is having a good time, happens to be seen by the commander of the fleet on patrol. The commander of the fleet did not know why, thinking that Li Fugui was originally a landing craft pilot, and at this time he was conducting simulated landing training, so he watched with interest for a while. But later, he gradually discovered some abnormalities of Li Fugui, Li Fugui saw so many officers standing on the shore, how could he dare to continue to stay on the landing craft?
Hurriedly and frightened, he drove the landing craft to the shore and went ashore with trepidation. Later, the commander of the fleet saw that he had the talent to fly a landing craft, so he did not investigate the responsibility for the landing craft without permission, and at the same time transferred him to the landing craft and became a landing craft pilot. In this way, Li Fugui, who originally dreamed of holding a steel gun and a steel helmet on his head, finally put on this steel helmet, but what he was holding was not a steel gun, but a steering wheel.
"Hehe, thank you, brother! We will win! Zhou Wen smiled and replied to Li Fugui kindly.
Everyone is a brother of the National Defense Force, at this time Li Fugui said this, how could he not know the meaning of this? In the Wehrmacht, at present, soldiers generally have a desire to go to the battlefield, and the soldiers who are often assigned to the logistics units will inevitably have some unhappiness in their hearts, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind. Li Fugui wanted to send them to the battlefield in person, but he could only stay here.
He only needs to take a step forward and step off the landing craft, then he really landed on the battlefield, but this step seems to him to be so far away, and the duty on his body and the mission of the soldier make him dare not mess around at all. So often at this time, Li Fugui's heart is often full of all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Although Zhou Wen is also a squad leader of the main force, at this time, he does not look down on Li Fugui at all, he knows that Li Fugui is uncomfortable, and at the same time, he also knows that he can stand here precisely because of the silent efforts of countless people like Li Fugui. On the contrary, at this time, Zhou Wen was faintly grateful to Li Fugui.
"Well, we're going to win!" Li Fugui nodded excitedly, and tears of excitement slipped quietly.
The front door of the landing craft was opened, and the moment the front door of the landing craft was opened, there was a splash. Zhou Wen was the first to jump into waist-high water, his eyes sharpening to observe the situation around him. The Type 03 submachine gun in his hand was held flat in front of his eyes, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the places where the enemy might appear. At the same time, the other fighters were also like Zhou Wen.
While moving forward quickly, he wanted to leave the sea as soon as possible, and arrived at the shore to find a place to cover the troops behind. While staring at the surrounding situation extremely seriously. This is the characteristic of the Marine Corps, they know where to land where it is most dangerous, where it is relatively safe, and where it is easiest to strike at the enemy.
As the officers and men of the 3rd Marine Division, who landed in the first batch, gradually left the landing craft and arrived at the shore, the landing craft responsible for sending them to the shore gradually started their engines anew, and the landing craft continued to make their own unique roar and returned to the troop carrier with a long splash. And just a few minutes after they left, the second group of officers and soldiers who landed had also arrived.
Although the number of people is small, with the help of many landing craft, in just two landings, hundreds of officers and men of the Marine Corps, who are close to a battalion, have been sent to the shore. Faced with the defenseless homeland, the officers and men of the 3rd Marine Division even felt that they were here to fight. Or are you here for a tourist? It is said that it is a war, and from the time I landed to the present, all I have seen are civilians, but what about tourism? From the time they landed to the present, they have seen all hostile eyes.
Zhou Wen ran forward with all his might, and not far in front of him, there was a small mound, although it could not resist the attack of the cannonballs, but it was no problem to resist the bullets a little. When Zhou Wen didn't think about it anymore, he led his class to run behind this small mound.
After arriving here, Zhou Wen adjusted his breathing slightly, the short-distance running was not enough to make him gasp for breath, and the system that he had trained over the years was not to scare people by saying it.
'Tsuba! Zhou Wen intuitively felt that his head was hit by something, and the steel helmet on top of his head helped him resist most of the attacks, but Zhou Wen still felt that the helmet hit his head hard. The painful sensation came from my head instantly.
Zhou Wen looked down, and a stone the size of half a palm was still sliding on the ground. Zhou Wen finally understood that they finally encountered the enemy's resistance, and Zhou Wen was also the unlucky one in the entire Third Marine Division, the first Wehrmacht soldier to be recruited.
Looking at the small stones rolling on the ground, Zhou Wen smiled helplessly, what can he do when he encounters such a thing? In desperation, Zhou Wen had no choice but to quietly stick half of his small head out of the mound to see what the situation was on the other side. In any case, you can't suffer in vain, right? Anyway, I have to let them give an explanation to themselves, otherwise if they say it in the future, how can he still mess up with the squad leader?
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, under this look, a burst of cold sweat will rise on Zhou Wen's back. What is this? Where did their army go? Is it necessary? I saw hundreds of civilians, with sticks or stones in their hands, standing there without knowing how to find cover, and throwing stones to this side as best they could. Zhou Wen could only blame himself for being too unlucky, just such a good place, and let him occupy it.
Moreover, this good place is the closest to them, and it is very similar, and a careless method of this person has changed for the better again, and it happened to hit Zhou Wen's head.
"Squad leader, what should we do?" The machine gunner Xiao Liu shouted at a loss, the scene was too chaotic, and he said that his house was croaking loudly and loudly in their bird language, Xiao Liu couldn't understand a word, and from time to time he attacked the advancing Wehrmacht. They are not soldiers, and for a while, Xiao Liu didn't know what to do?
"I don't know what to do? I'm in a quandary! Zhou Wen took off the steel helmet on his head and kept his head as low as possible, for fear that the moment he took off the steel helmet, his head would be hit again. The protection of the steel helmet is smashed by a small stone, and at most it hurts and a bag. But if there is no protection of the steel helmet, this time it will be red.
But when it comes to what to do, Zhou Wen is also very puzzled, yes, what should I do? They are all civilians. When they were in North Korea, they were ordered to ignore civilian casualties, but the North Koreans were different from themselves. They have legs on their bodies. And they also know that the Wehrmacht is here to help them drive away themselves, saying that they can't beat me, and there was no way to escape before, but now that someone is helping them fight, they also have a chance to choose. Who would be stupid enough to stand in the middle of the battlefield and use himself as a meat shield?
However, the Chinese are their own enemies and the countries that invade the country, and their hatred of the Chinese is also easily understood. And now that he is really a soldier, Zhou Wen doesn't know what to do? To fight or not to fight? They are civilians, and if they fight, they will inevitably condemn their conscience, and if they don't fight, then what should they do if they keep attacking themselves like this?
"Zhou Wen, what's wrong?" When Zhou Wen was depressed, platoon commander Xu Liguo led a squad of soldiers and hurriedly ran behind the small mound next to Zhou Wen and asked loudly.
"When they were attacked, they were hit on the head with stones, platoon commander, they are civilians, do we fight or not?" Zhou Wen asked with some difficulty.
"What? And this kind of thing? Xu Liguo quietly looked up at the hundreds of civilians standing there opposite, and a sense of war gradually rose in his heart, it was so hateful that just civilians dared to attack the regular army, and they were too bold. At that moment, Xu Liguo was unceremonious, and scolded loudly: "Are you fucking a wooden man?" Someone attacked and still staying here stupidly not moving? Waiting for you to die? It doesn't matter if they are civilians or not, as long as they have a weapon in their hands, even if it is just a stick or a small stone, as long as they attack us, they are the armed forces of Ben. Hit, hit me hard. ”
Zhou Wen looked at Xu Liguo in disbelief, did this really come out of the platoon commander's mouth? How does it feel a bit like the taste of the commander-in-chief?
"What are you doing? Xiao Liu, you rabbit cub, hurry up and put the machine gun on the rack, those are all enemies, and kindness to the enemy is cruelty to comrades. Since they are all soldiers, there is no need for us to be polite to them. Xu Liguo continued to shout loudly, and while shouting, he placed his Type 03 submachine gun flat on top of the mound, aimed the muzzle of the gun at a group of armed mobs, and pulled the trigger in his hand fiercely.
The Type 03 submachine gun is a new type of equipment that has only been equipped with the troops in recent years, but due to the degree of consumption of ammunition, the Type 03 submachine gun is finally only equipped with the main and deputy squad leaders, platoon commanders and company commanders, and then the pistol. Of course, this is not to say that the platoon commanders do not have pistols, but they are at the grassroots level, and they often have to lead the troops to charge into battle, and the firepower of the pistol is far from keeping up, so these grassroots officers still prefer the 03 type. Anyway, if they are equipped with this, they will not confiscate the May Fourth military pistol, so why don't they arm themselves with a single gun?
The ammunition capacity of 30 rounds, compared with the capacity of 5 rounds of the Chinese 1 type, is enough to make more soldiers armed with single-shot rifles fall into a nightmare, and the strong firepower often crushes the enemy to the point where he can't raise his head. Thirty bullets were fired out in an orderly manner, but in order to save ammunition, Xu Liguo still chose to shoot at a point. It is said that it is a huge project to transport ammunition from the mainland, so there is no need for them to waste ammunition at this unnecessary time.
As Xu Liguo fired, the other soldiers also raised their guns to shoot, and sometimes, only one person was needed to take the lead. Because Zhou Wen was not the only one who was in a state of confusion just now. And the conversation between Xu Liguo and Zhou Wen was also heard clearly by the other soldiers around him, and if he wanted to blame Xu Liguo, he deliberately raised his voice, so that more soldiers could hear what he said.
The hundreds of mobs were not to worry at all, and under the personal care of hundreds of officers and men of the 3rd Marine Division, in just a few tens of seconds, these hundreds of mobs were lying in a pool of blood. Among them were the elderly, the children, the women, and the men. No matter who it is, as long as it is the person standing in the middle of the mob, he will lie in a pool of blood. After doing this, Xu Liguo and the others did not feel guilty at all, under Wang Lin's influence for many years, the officers and soldiers below gradually developed the idea that they could ignore non-people of our clan.
In the massacre of these mobs, although they were a little unbearable, none of them felt that they did not deserve to die. The unbearable in their hearts is just because they don't want to kill them like this, and slaughtering these mobs with primitive weapons will only reduce the status of the Third Marine Division. It's better to get a firearm or a shotgun, and in this case, the Wehrmacht soldiers will be slaughtered, and there will be no sense of loss in their hearts.
The follow-up landing force was landing in a steady stream, and the burst of gunfire in front did not cause them much confusion, because they had already seen the existence of these civilians when they were still on the ship, and they were doomed to a tragic fate with all kinds of weapons in their hands.
Perhaps the soldiers would not have made up their minds so happily when they met them, but as long as the officers were present, their fate would definitely be over. Because the officers of the Wehrmacht had already understood a truth when they were in the military academy, and under the deliberate influence of Wang Lin's tutorial, it was only natural that they should massacre civilians from enemy countries.
After more than an hour of busyness, the officers and men of the Third Marine Division finally completed the landing in a complete formation, and in the midst of this, apart from the previous episode, both on land and on the sea, they were extraordinarily calm, and the entire landing operation was like a drill in their own garden, and there was no obstacle at all, and it was even simpler than the drill.
After several hours of hectic work, the Wehrmacht troops finally landed, and since it was already four o'clock when they arrived in Koga, it was nearly twelve o'clock in the evening when the entire force of more than 70,000 troops had landed. Fortunately, the pilots of the naval landing craft were more reliable, and with the guidance of the arch fire on the shore, the landing did not stop in the night. After the landing of all the troops, the naval fleet hastily withdrew to Busan, where they were to carry the second group of Wehrmacht troops to Koga after a short replenishment. At present, the troops who arrived in advance are only seriously building defensive positions, expanding the area of the landing ground, and opening up a good landing situation for the follow-up troops.
At one o'clock in the morning, the troops who rushed to the army finally arrived outside Koga.
