Chapter 9: The Attack Begins
Hammer Chekov with his gunners and grenadiers has been lurking outside the county town of Zhangwu for a long time. But Zhao Zhi's planned attack time has not yet arrived, and the returning Yan Wudao they brought back a lot of Japanese-style grenades and grenadiers to Chekov, and the artillerymen under him already have 6 50mm grenadiers and a comparable number of grenadier grenades, as long as Zhao Zhi's attack order comes, Chekov can bomb the city gate building in Zhangwu County into ruins, of course, Zhao Zhi does not allow him to do this, this Zhangwu county will be handed over intact to the national army troops who came later to take over.
The bored Chekov pulled out a thatch and played with a few ants on the ground, and his artillerymen were either busy wiping the grenadiers or calculating the coordinates and directions of the bombardment. Chekov has always been unimpressed by the busyness of the artillerymen, in his heart, only objects with more than 60 mortars are called cannons, like the current 50 mm grenadier that can use Japanese grenades, at best it can be regarded as a small smashing gun, if it were not for the grenadier to replenish ammunition and easy to move, Chekov would have carried his submachine gun and followed the Eugene submachine gun squad.
"Captain, the time is coming soon" one of Chekov's gunners looked at his watch and shouted in a low voice, Chekov got up from the ground, picked up the grass ring on the ground and fastened it to his steel helmet, and prepared to grab a grenadier to have a good time. "Iron hammer, Mr. said, your grenadiers are just to attract the attention of the enemy, tell you not to shoot too accurately and too fast, just shoot one shot a minute" Luo Ying, who ran to convey the order, smiled and snatched back the grenadier that Chekov had just grabbed in his hand, and there were not many Japanese grenades captured, if you follow Chekov's speed, I am afraid that within 10 minutes, you will be able to shoot all the grenadier grenades and Japanese grenades.
Looking at the forced smiles of his artillerymen, Chekov straddled the submachine gun behind him and picked up a 38 rifle on the ground and held it in his hand. It was not only Chekov's artillery who was arranged by Zhao Zhi to feint, but also a team of snipers under Ye Kong, but they all used captured 38 rifles today, and their clothes were changed into ordinary people's clothes. Zhao Zhi wanted to make the Japanese puppet army stationed in Zhangwu County think that the guerrillas were coming to fight the autumn wind, and he himself took the most elite submachine gun squad and snipers among the mercenaries to sneak into the city along the tunnel and attack the Japanese puppet army stationed in Zhangwu County from the inside.
In the middle of the night last year, Zhao Zhi ordered his mercenaries to dig a lot of bunkers outside Zhangwu County with the help of the terrain, as long as the Japanese puppet army did not use warp firepower, the mercenaries hidden in the bunkers would not be in danger. The snipers who quietly entered the bunker before dawn couldn't bear the long wait, and when they had nothing to do, they directly took out a small shovel to expand their bunker, they not only dug anti-artillery holes in their bunkers, but a few lively guys even got several shooting positions, so that they could change the shooting position at any time when the fight started, so that they could reduce the chance of being exposed to the guns of the Japanese puppet army.
Chekov, who was snorting, was covered with a camouflage net as a cover, and crawled forward with his hands and feet quickly, rolled over and nested into a slightly larger bunker pit, relying on his strength to drive the observation post lying in it directly to other places. Chekov's artillery position was erected in a dry ditch more than 400 meters outside the county seat, such a distance can only be hit by Japanese machine guns and curved fire.
Also prepared are the snipers lurking in the field more than 100 meters away from the county seat, in Zhao Zhi's mercenary unit, the snipers' equipment and treatment are the best, not only do they each have a watch, but most of the telescopes that Zhao Zhi bought or captured were distributed to snipers. The distance of more than 100 meters is nothing for a sniper rifle, but if you shoot with a 38 rifle, this accuracy is not so good, so Zhao Zhi not only put a team of snipers using 38 rifles here, but also arranged three snipers using Japanese-style sniper rifles to guard against machine guns and mortars on the city tower.
"Didi" When Chekov was busy pressing bullets into the 38 rifle, Luo Ying, who had been staring at his watch, blew the whistle, and the time for the attack finally came. The artillerymen under Chekov had already been prepared, and the two grenades were "through" and "through", but the Japanese-style grenades they fired did not hit the city wall, but fell on the open space outside the city gate, but blew up the barricade set up by the Japanese puppet army outside the city gate.
"Brother Balu, your artillery is not like this, it is still far from Lao Tzu's crotch" Seeing that the grenades from outside the city were inaccurate, the Japanese puppet soldiers who were still in a panic came to their senses, and there was a long hemp rod-like imperial army standing on the city gate to pee downward, and kept shouting and scolding. "Bang" a gunshot, the loud shouting hemp pole screamed and covered his crotch and fell down the city wall, and the bullet shot from outside the city hit his peeing object squarely, even if this kid can survive in the future, I am afraid that he can only be a eunuch in the future.
The sound of gunfire was the signal, and the bullets fired from outside the city suddenly became dense, and several Japanese puppet soldiers standing on the city tower fell to the ground screaming. The machine gunners on the gate tower tilted the rain of bullets outside the city gate regardless of it, they didn't know where the bullets outside the city came from, they just used their illusion to shoot at the suspicious place, hoping to hit the attacker hidden in the suspicious place. "Yamaki, Yamaki, over there, the attackers are there" Yamaki's secondary shooter suddenly shouted as he pointed to a dirt bag on the side of the avenue outside the city, and he watched a rifle shrink back behind the dirt bag.
"Die" Yamaki turned the muzzle of the gun and fired desperately at the dirt bag, the hot bullet cut the dirt bag in half, and the continuous shooting had already made the barrel of the gun hot, and the blackened face of the gun-smoked Yamaki stopped. "Bang" Yamaki, who had just raised the telescope to observe the shooting situation, lay on his stomach on the machine gun, a bullet fired from outside the city had penetrated the lens of the telescope in his hand and hit his eyeball, and after Yamaki's secondary shooter turned Yamaki over, the brains with the smell of blood had been splashed from his broken eye sockets, and even the butt of the machine gun was covered with warm brains and blood.
