Episode 99 Break through from within

Tian Jingsheng took a class of brothers and walked along the shadow of the base of the wall all the way, and suddenly, he raised his arm, and the ten soldiers behind him stopped.

The front was close to the north entrance of the village, and several Qing soldiers were running around with their waists, some carrying bullet boxes, some carrying the wounded, and some carrying artillery shells. These Qing soldiers seemed to be very well trained, and apart from the screams and moans of the wounded, none of them shouted. However, everyone seemed nervous. In the distance outside the village, loudspeakers shouted, and flares rained overhead one after another, illuminating a large area of the village.

Tian Jingsheng originally planned to take advantage of the darkness to quietly approach and kill his subordinates by surprise. Now it seems that this unlucky flare keeps firing, but it is doing itself a disservice, and it is very conspicuous when you get closer.

Tian Jingsheng stared at one of the Qing soldiers carrying the cannonballs, to see where he was sending the cannonballs.

Within a few minutes, the Qing soldier had made three trips back and forth with artillery shells, all from a livestock shed behind a half-broken wall more than a dozen meters away. Behind the half of the ruined wall was a shadow, and in the shadow there was a tall body, motionless, like a dormant tiger.

Suddenly, the very top of the big black shadow suddenly moved, and it turned out to be a figure, bending down to talk to the people below. Tian Jingsheng judged that the big black shadow was a Qing army tank, and the figure on the top was the commander, who was exposing the top of the turret and personally observing the outside of the village.

Tian Jingsheng picked up the telescope and carefully observed it for a moment, confirming his judgment.

A voice behind him whispered:

"Squad leader, it's better for us to throw a grenade at once, at least we can detonate the shell, and we can even kill the tank and people! Then let's rush out of this gap and join the big army outside the village! ”

Tian Jingsheng turned around and scolded in a low voice:

"You want to die! The light saw the tank, where was the machine gun point, did you see it? Just run out like this, you have to be beaten to death! Wait! ”

The soldier behind him shrank his head and stopped squeaking.

Suddenly, another soldier whispered:

"Squad leader! The machine gun is over there, on the right! ”

Tian Jingsheng looked in the direction of his hand, and saw that on the opposite side of the small dirt road, on the roof of a tiled house, several tiles had been blown open, revealing the thatch inside. There was a large black gap in the middle of the thatch. Suddenly, a metallic reflection swept through it.

"Ah, you're good at finding a place!" Tian Jingsheng relaxed for a while and laughed quietly, "It's not easy to find there, and it can overlook the entire road into the village." From that angle, you could not see from outside the village, and you could only see the attacking soldiers being killed on the dirt road, but you could not see where the bullets came from. ”

Then, I saw a Qing soldier carrying a box of bullets, bending around the house with a cat on his waist, and sent it out of nowhere.

"Okay, capture the machine gun first!" Tian Jingsheng immediately had a plan in his mind, and he immediately said, "Which of you will use a machine gun?" ”

"I will! And he will too! A soldier replied in a whisper, pulling one of the brothers behind him over, "Squad leader, we are from a machine gun crew!" ”

"Will you use the Makqin water-cooled type?"

Tian Jingsheng asked. The soldier was carrying a chain box, which was a heavy machine gun. And the heavy machine gun of the Qing army was Makqin.

"No," replied the heavy in a whisper, "but it's pretty much the same." ”

Tian Jingsheng thought to himself, this can only be the case. He nodded:

"Okay, you two, and both of you, all four of you come with me, let's go grab the machine gun! The other six stayed where they were, and when they heard the machine guns from above, they immediately threw all the grenades at the tank! After the explosion, everyone rushed out of the village together! Do you get it? ”

The soldiers behind him all nodded, nervous enough to raise their throats.

At this time, the Qing soldier who sent the bullet appeared again, and his hand was empty. Presumably the bullets have already been delivered.

"Good...... Prepare for ......"

Tian Jingsheng stared at the Qing soldier, seeing his back gradually disappearing, so he clenched his submachine gun, waved back, and crept towards the dirt road with the four brothers.

He had just touched the dirt road, when suddenly he raised his hand again and fell to the ground like an electric shock. Afterwards, the four brothers behind him also lay on the ground with "hula".

As soon as the Qing soldier disappeared, he came out again, carrying a hand-held iron oil drum in his hand, heavy, and running quickly to this side.

Tian Jingsheng scolded secretly, stared at the Qing soldier, saw the opportunity to pounce, grabbed his neck and knocked him down, and then the four brothers around him rushed up, took the oil drum, did not let it fall to the ground and make a sound, and at the same time pressed the Qing soldier to the ground. Tian Jingsheng pulled out a dagger and slaughtered him with a knife. Luckily, I didn't make any big noises during the whole process.

Several people dragged the corpses of the Qing soldiers to the shadow of the tiled house. Then, Tian Jingsheng lifted the oil drum, unscrewed the lid and smelled it, and there was water inside. Sure enough, it was sent to the machine gun above. Water-cooled machine guns, it is necessary to prepare plenty of water.

Tian Jingsheng was very happy, this was really sleepy and touched the pillow. He carried the bucket of water, beckoned, and with four brothers, tiptoed to the back of the tiled house, found the door, and dodged in.

Overhead are wooden planks, and the planks are "creaking", some people are moving, and some people are whispering. And the smell of cigarettes kept wafting down.

Tian Jingsheng made a gesture to get the brothers behind him ready for a surprise attack, and then carried the water himself and swaggered up the wooden stairs to the attic.

A Qing soldier leaned against a wooden pillar, smoked a cigarette, turned his head physically and mentally exhausted and asked:

"Password."

Password? Tian Jingsheng was taken aback, he didn't expect such a thing. He said casually:

"Send water, send water."

He immediately put down the bucket, jumped up to the attic in three steps and two steps, grabbed the submachine gun and swept it violently, and suddenly screamed in the gunshots, and at least two people fell directly. The other four soldiers behind him also rushed up and fired together. With the flash of the submachine gun, Tian Jingsheng saw clearly that there were a total of four Qing soldiers in the small attic, two of whom were dead, and the other two were lying on the ground, touching their guns.

He ran out of magazine for his submachine gun, and in a fit of urgency, he pulled out his pistol and "snapped" twice, killing the other two as well. The whole process is up to 10 seconds.

"Ceasefire! Cease fire! Tian Jingsheng waved his arms and shouted, then pointed at the heavy machine gun on the ground, "Quick!" ”

Two machine gunners immediately pounced, one holding the machine gun and the other holding the chain. They found that this view was really amazing, not only overlooking the entire road, but also overlooking the Qing tanks under the low wall opposite.

As soon as the main shooter touched the body of the gun, he pulled the gun again, and found that it was similar to the principle of a woodpecker. A few seconds later, the cumbersome water-cooled machine gun "clicked" and the line of fire swept directly at the opposite tank.

Sparks suddenly flew from the big shadow, and there were screams all around. However, the tank also chirped, and the turret turned towards the attic.

But at this time, the six soldiers who were lying in ambush under the tiled house heard the sound of machine guns and immediately threw grenades together. Six grenades fell around the opposite tank and exploded one after another. The huge figure of the tank was drowned in a series of explosions, and flames erupted behind the turret.

Immediately, an even bigger explosion sounded, and several shells next to the tank exploded. With an earth-shattering bang, the tank became a large fireball, followed by shells inside that exploded one after another. A large fireball flew into the air with thick smoke, and half of the turret was torn off.

……

There was a cheer downstairs, and a cheer in the attic. Tian Jingsheng scolded:

", run!"

I didn't have time to take the stairs, so I got through the hole in the roof, slid down the sloping roof, and jumped to the ground. The four soldiers in the back followed his example, and jumped out of the ground. A class of people gathered again.

The Qing soldiers behind him were already shouting, shooting "pop", and the bullets grazed overhead with screams. Tian Jingsheng shouted:

"Run! Grenade cover! ”

Ten grenades swarmed in the general direction of the gunshot, and the explosion suddenly rang out. Under the cover of explosions and black smoke, a squad of Ming soldiers rushed out of the village and ran dozens of meters in one go.

Under the illumination of the flares, the Ming troops outside the village finally saw their uniforms clearly before giving the order to open fire, and they were not killed by a shuttle.

The group ran all the way to a tank, and they all sat down on the ground, panting for breath. A large number of Ming soldiers surrounded them and asked nonsense, and the group of people who had just run out also said nonsense. A moment later, the company commander of the tank company came over and dragged Tian Jingsheng aside. The two of them communicated refreshingly in a few words.

The tank company commander immediately jumped into the command vehicle, grabbed the headset and ordered a tank platoon, plus an armored infantry company, to launch at once and attack the village from the place of the explosion.

Now, the Qing army's defense has finally been opened a gap by Tian Jingsheng and them.

……

More than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles roared into the village in a row, and sure enough, they were not shelled. And there are no machine guns left in this direction. In a few moments, several parts of the village were abuzz with the sound of cannons, shrill machine guns, and the shouts of soldiers. The flames of the explosion flashed one after another, and large fireballs and thick smoke rose one after another.

Tian Jingsheng and the others also grabbed the binoculars, looked at the war in the village, and estimated the battle situation. Now they also have experience, those big fireballs, basically all of them are raised after the tank is destroyed. It's just that it's hard to say which ones are Ming army tanks and which ones are Qing army tanks.

However, one thing is certain, the tank battle in the village was fierce, and the Qing army must have more tanks than the Ming army imagined.

Fortunately, the soldiers of these armored divisions understand the truth that has been repeatedly taught during training: in complex environments, such as at night, in forests, in ruins, and residential areas, the strength of the strong and weak sides will be leveled to the greatest extent. At this time, it is not about whose artillery is bigger and whose armor is thicker, but who is better trained, who is bolder, more alert, and more decisive.

Moreover, in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, who has the more firepower in the hand often determines who can win. There is no doubt that these advantages were in the hands of the Ming soldiers.

……

After a short period of ten minutes, the battle was basically over. The whole village was filled with fire and smoke, and the Ming soldiers walked out of the village with submachine guns and the remnants of the Qing prisoners.

After counting, during the battle to occupy this village, the Ming army lost a total of 56 killed, 32 wounded, 6 Lightning-3 tanks and 4 Wind-36 armored personnel carriers. The Qing army was killed 54 people, 65 wounded, and 154 prisoners.

What is amazing is the number of tanks of the Qing army: in this small village, the Ming army actually destroyed 10 Barutu tanks and captured 5 Barutu tanks intact!

The Qing army actually had a heavy tank company!

This really made the Ming army stunned.

Another set of figures: because these two companies of Qing troops held on to residential areas and did not agree to a ceasefire and let the villagers evacuate, 37 innocent villagers were killed and 28 were injured.

Therefore, the four lieutenants who were still alive in the Qing army were singled out and brought to the Ming army division headquarters, ready to ask Nanjing for instructions on how to deal with it.
