Chapter 51: The Crusade 6
In accordance with Hu Dashuai's instruction of "firing more artillery and killing fewer people," the mortar company frantically carried out two fire coverage on all exposed fire points, and each time the special ammunition and grenade were fired in half. Even the Shanghai Revolutionary Party, which was watching the battle and playing soy sauce behind him, was shocked, and the ground under his feet shook like an earthquake.
An 82 mortar company was covered by two rounds of artillery fire, that is, 32 shells, special shells and grenades were fired in half. The predecessor of the special ammunition was the "conscienceless cannon" that shined in the later liberation wars, which is equivalent to throwing explosive bags directly on your head! With a charge of ten kilograms, plus different modes of air explosion and ground explosion, you will have to die in any position within fifteen meters, and whoever will cry! The Qing army guarding the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has encountered such an opponent, and they come up without talking to you and directly use a small force to attract your firepower to be exposed, and then the shells flew over without saying a word. How big is the gate of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau? Two-wheeled fire, 16 rounds of 82 mm mortar shells, 16 rounds of 82 mm mortars with 150 mm stray shells (an improved product of the projectile explosive pack), the density of fire per unit time and space is considerable! All of a sudden, the eight firepower points flew into the sky with all the fortifications, and the Qing army inside naturally did not get it.
The firepower was dumb, the remaining Qing army suffered, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was also in danger.
"Brothers, follow me!"
Wang Tianda saw the opportunity, picked up the submachine gun and roared and rushed to the front. From the beginning of the training in the training camp, Hu Dashuai instilled in all the students the spirit of "commanding from the front, charging ahead, and following me". Each time the regimental commander commanded the line of fire, the division headquarters was less than ten miles away from the forward position. Isn't it clear what the officers of the battalion, company, and platoon should do? When charging, the officer always rushed to the front, and invisibly set the most haode example for the soldiers below.
"Da Da Da ......"
The Makqin MG08 machine gun equipped by the artillery company followed the charging troops, suppressing any Qing troops on the wall who dared to raise their heads. Eight 82-mm mortars were also ready to replenish their guns at any time, and although the artillery stationed in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau had been knocked out, Wang Tianda was still not at ease, and specially arranged an artillery company before the charge to move the mortars to a dead corner to prevent the remaining artillery fire.
Li Xie and a group of revolutionaries in Shanghai were immediately dumbfounded when they saw this situation. What kind of army is this, the attacking team can be scattered as much as it wants, but it can not be chaotic. As soon as the point of fire is exposed, it will be knocked out by the kind of light artillery that has never been seen before, and the cannonball is so powerful that the ground can be felt like an earthquake from a few hundred meters away. As soon as the artillery fire on this side covered 10,000, the infantry on this side began to charge, and the officers actually rushed to the front! When the artillery and machine guns did not stop, the Qing army at the head of the wall of the manufacturing bureau was suppressed, and the sharpshooters helped, and the heads of any outcrops were blown up like watermelons without exception! It was a small force of more than 600 people, all of whom were armed with serial guns, as well as several stun guns. When did this stun gun be light enough to be held in your arms and fire while traveling? I don't understand!
The guard battalion quickly assaulted to a distance of less than a hundred meters, and the advantage of the Stern submachine gun at this distance was particularly obvious. Hundreds of submachine guns fired three bursts, and there were almost no misses at this distance, and the lethality of the pistol bullets at close range was amazing, and a dozen bloody holes were played. The Qing army was already blinded by the artillery fire just now, and this will happen again, and the position immediately began to shake.
With the help of his comrades, the Demoman bent down and carried the long pole explosive bag in his arms, and made a detour to avoid the cold gun, rushing to the corner of the wall to prop up the long pole, and the asphalt-stained side of the explosive bag quickly sucked up on the door of the manufacturing bureau. Once secure, the Demoman immediately pulled down the fuse.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, the gate of the Gangnam Manufacturing Bureau collapsed in a violent explosion.
The guard battalion took advantage of the situation to enter the manufacturing bureau. I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Qing army guarding the manufacturing bureau is still very strong, and they have not given up resistance at this time, and they are fighting very fiercely. The Qing army close to the gate was blinded by the shock wave of the explosion just now, and immediately grabbed the Hanyang Zao in his hand and fought back desperately. When the artillery was covered by artillery fire before, the corner towers on all sides were missed, and the Qing troops hidden in them retreated violently in the fortifications in the corners, and the guard battalions that broke into had no cover, and people kept being shot and fell. But the strange thing is that many of them who were shot and fell down were still able to get up and continue to shoot like no one else, and the Qing army on the opposite side was shocked.
"Grandma's!"
Wang Tianda, who had been rushing to the front, shouted, as if he had been stung, his body shook violently, and he fell to the ground holding his chest.
"Battalion commander! Battalion commander! ”
The two non-commissioned officers who followed closely behind rushed over with a shout, one raised a gun to shoot and cover, and the other hunched over and tried to drag Wang Tianda to safety.
"Leave me alone, labor and management are fine! Machine gun cover, notify the artillery company mortar to come up, shoot flat fire, and take out the fire point in the corner tower! ”
Wang Tianda grabbed the non-commissioned officer who was busy rescuing him, pressed him to the ground, and pointed to the firepower point hidden in the corner tower and ordered. These firing points were hidden in the corner, and there was a hole that knew how small it could be, and the rest were blocked by sandbags. Grenades can't explode, sniper rifles can't hit, so mortars can only shoot flat.
"Yes!"
The non-commissioned officer also had red eyes and immediately crawled towards the artillery company.
"Grandma's, fortunately, the handsome man was equipped with this treasure before he came, otherwise he would have really explained it here today."
Wang Tianda smiled bitterly and touched the iron armor on his chest that saved his life, and said to himself.
It turned out that before setting off from Suzhou, Hu Rui expected that the Qing army would not easily give up the key point of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and this trip would definitely be a tough battle. In order to minimize the casualties of the guard battalion, Hu Rui specially allocated more than 600 sets of iron armor to change the uniform of the guard battalion. This batch of iron armor was imitated and improved by Hu Rui with reference to the same type of iron armor equipped by the Soviet assault engineer brigade during World War II. Focused on chest and abdomen protection, there is a silk and cotton lining that can be changed to ensure comfort when gearing in both summer and winter. This is also the reason why many officers and soldiers of the guard battalion can get up and continue to design like no one else after being shot. At least according to Shiyan's iron armor, the lethality of bullets can be minimized, except for the imitation 54 pistol that uses steel core bullets to penetrate within 20 meters, the rest of the various models of revolvers, and Mauser 20 shots can not penetrate. In the face of 7.92 mm round-headed bullets, there is also a certain protective effect, but the cost is too high and too heavy, and it is difficult to equip on a large scale.
"Quick, put the cannon flat!"
The gunners roared and beckoned to the squad members to unload the mortars and take them away, and leaned to the front under the cover of the fraternal troops. The team members pulled out the sapper shovel hanging from their backpacks, carved out an improvised fortification on the ground, and then leveled the mortar. The gunner quickly found a branch from the side of the road, prepared the muzzle of the gun for the firing point in the corner tower, inserted the branch into the barrel of the gun in advance, and then prepared the shells.
"Ready, put!"
"Bang Bang Bang"
The cannonballs made a crisp sound, screaming and heading straight for the fire point in the corner tower. After a loud bang, the fire point was pierced into the sky along with the broken wooden planks and sandbags in the explosion. All that was left was a mutilated Maxim machine gun and a pile of flesh and blood.
"Kill!"
Wang Tianda roared again and held the submachine gun with the changed magazine, and rushed to the front with strafing all the way. The shot that hit him just now was a pistol bullet, which didn't pierce the iron armor, but there was a faint pain in the ribs in his chest. Seeing that the fire point was knocked out, he immediately roared and continued to charge.
The firing points in the four corner towers were the fortifications of the Qing army. At this moment, the Qing army finally collapsed, and tentatively raised the Hanyang in his hand. The guard battalion has been following Wang Tianda for a long time, and he is also full of banditry, and he is usually a proud and untamed lord. Seeing this, they immediately opened fire, and all the Qing troops who were slower were beaten into a sieve by random guns. At this moment, no one hesitated anymore, and the remaining Qing troops wailed and surrendered! Zhang Shiheng took his own soldiers and slipped away from the wall.
"Quick, report to the commander, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has taken it! Our department will stick to the main force to receive! ”
Wang Tianda pulled the signal soldier, borrowed the radio in the manufacturing bureau, and sent a telegram to Hu Rui, who was still on the road.
"Lao Hu, the guard battalion is calling, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has taken it!"
Sanniang took the telegram she had just received and walked in in high spirits.
"Good guy, that's fast!"
Hu Rui took the telegram and praised it with a smile.
"Order the troops, accelerate and prepare for battle! The revolutionary party in Shanghai is short-sighted, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is in our hands, and these people will not give up! Pick up the guard battalion as soon as possible, and I guess they won't have a good time this time. ”
Hu Rui gave orders to the combat staff officers around him. The staff officer quickly wrote it down, handed it to Hu Rui to look at it, confirmed that the content was correct, signed it, saluted and withdrew.
"Sanniang, the dowry and private money I prepared for you will be in the account soon! Let's go check it out. ”
Hu Dashuai laughed. Sanniang on the other side glared at him beautifully, replied with a faceless comment, half shy, half annoyed, and turned around and didn't bother anymore. Trousseau...... This one seems quite far away.
Let's talk about Shanghai. Seeing that the guard battalion sent by the Anhui Army quickly took over the manufacturing bureau, the people from all walks of life on the periphery immediately became in a commotion. These people coveted the arms stockpiled in the manufacturing bureau for more than a day or two. Chen Qimei was also rescued, and she didn't say a word about her great achievements and reckless behavior. It's just that he raised the bar with Li Xie of the Restoration Society, and quarreled for the position of commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Revolutionary Army. The Second Guard Battalion also took advantage of this time to quickly clear the remnants of the Qing army, repair the fortifications, and firmly occupy the manufacturing bureau and not let go. Wang Tianda, who only has the chief instructor in his eyes, spoke openly:
"The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was fought hard by our Anhui army, and it was taken care of by our guard battalion before my marshal arrived in Shanghai! Everything will be discussed when the marshal comes! ”
As he spoke, barricades and fortifications were set up at the entrance of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. The rebel workers in the factory also helped open the storeroom, picked up a few Maxim machine guns and quickly erected them on the wall. The direct armed forces took over the manufacturing bureau and blocked all the revolutionary parties in Shanghai.
Hearing this, the two sides that were still arguing with the bars immediately stopped. Pulled his team to the door of the manufacturing bureau, pulled away jiashi and prepared to fight! To say that the revolutionary party in Shanghai is indeed chaotic enough, there are 5,000 members of the armed merchant group of the autonomous office led by Li Pingshu, there are several hundred people in the Shanghai student death squad, nearly 1,000 members of the party headed by gang leaders Liu Fubiao and Li Zhengwu, several hundred Shanghai county patrol policemen, and more than 1,000 people in the patrol battalion. Add up to 10,000 people, all of them stretched their necks and hoped to get a vote in the manufacturing bureau, but they didn't expect that before a single shot or bullet arrived, the entire manufacturing bureau was occupied by the Anhui army. How can this be agreed, when will it be the turn of the little red guy in the countryside of Anhui in Shanghai to call the shots? Immediately geared up and prepared to break through.
"Brothers, the marshal is on his way, we are not alone! Hold on! ”
Wang Tianda roared and walked around, boosting morale.
