Chapter 228: Smeared Chalk Ash
What exactly happened outside the north wall, it was too late to know. After a violent explosion, movement was heard outside the west wall and on the south side.
They moved things to tiptoe nearby, trying to take advantage of those shooting holes in the wall, but the problem was that the 38 big covers were too long, and it was extremely inconvenient to use these small holes to shoot.
When the long barrel of the gun poked into the courtyard through the hole, it immediately became a clear mark in the sun, and the shooting holes in these walls were one thing to shoot outward, and it was another thing to shoot in, the distance was too close, and the angle was limited, and the range of the courtyard was not large at all, and as soon as the gun reached in, it immediately attracted close fire from the courtyard.
There was a burst of gunshots, and a certain devil covered his eyes that were rubbed by the ricocheting gravel and fell down with a ghost, this method didn't work, so the devils under the wall took out grenades one after another, and threw them inside through the wall.
Explosion after explosion, the whole compound was blown up by the grenades thrown in one after another, and the debris flew everywhere, accompanied by the continuous sound of explosions, and all kinds of debris, grain particles and sand were raised one after another, and then fell, and the sound of hail fell.
The leader of the devil squad decisively ordered the grenadiers to start firing, striving for a wave of firepower to blow up all the panting in the yard.
After some time, the explosions stopped. There was a miasma of smoke everywhere, the smoke of gunpowder was drifting, the dust was settled, and the courtyard was as silent as death.
The devils began to take advantage of the nearby qiē to build a platform outside the wall, ready to go up the wall. A devil pulled out a broken ladder out of nowhere, put it outside the wall, got on it with a gun, carefully poked out a steel helmet, stuck it on the wall and looked into the courtyard.
The courtyard was full of messy grain bags, and there was broken rice everywhere that was blown up, and white flowers were sprinkled on the ground, and there was no one in the empty space. So he slowly turned his gaze to the house in the courtyard, the windows were all broken, but the windows were blocked with furniture, and there were a few irregular gaps exposed in between, and it was dark and impossible to see the situation in the house.
I was hesitating whether to climb over the wall and go in now, when I felt that my calf was beaten, and the other devil also went up the ladder and stopped at the bottom and waited to continue climbing. In desperation, he gritted his teeth and leaned against the wall and turned in.
Woo Woo - Puff -
I didn't jump in, but I fell straight in, and I was out of breath when I fell into the yard. Between the cracks in the cluttered furniture at the window, there was a barge muzzle billowing smoke.
The devils in other positions who were about to probe over the wall immediately stopped moving, this wall is the ghost gate, and it is a fool to insist on climbing in. A devil explained the situation loudly to the squad leader, Balu was hiding in the house, and there was no one in the courtyard!
Then the grenadiers began to sound again, and they desperately threw themselves towards the houses in the courtyard, and the third explosion began to sound, and in an instant the roof shattered and the tiles flew wildly. More than a dozen grenades were smashed, most of them hit, and although the grenadiers were limited, the roof was still shattered and collapsed in half, and it was a little strange that it didn't look like it had collapsed to the end.
It didn't take long for the devil to fall into another one, still hit by the house.
The face of the captain of the devil squad began to look ugly, he didn't expect to encounter such a tough battle before he came, he didn't have explosives in his hand at all, if he relied on the numerical advantage to climb into the yard, even if he could succeed, it would be a miserable victory, and it would take a few elites of the Japanese Empire to change to a dirt road?
Looking back, the grenades brought by the two grenadiers were basically almost hit, so he ordered to stop the attack, sent a devil out of the village to explain the situation to the squadron leader, and asked the mortars to be ready to destroy the buildings and courtyard walls in the compound, and the cost of catching alive was too great.
At the same time, he ordered a platoon of puppet troops outside the western wall to look for tools nearby, whatever the hammer and pickaxe were, as long as they could be used to tear down the wall. One last attempt at the offensive before using artillery fire to destroy the earth.
The puppet army was ordered to prepare to tear down the wall, the war was not good, the work was not bad, and more smart people directly thought of a good idea, more than a dozen people brought a log, and used a manpower battering ram to build a royal army, saving time and effort, and won the praise of the team leader on the spot.
......
My head was still aching, and there was a whistle in my ears.
He fell to the ground at that time, so his reaction was the slowest, and he could only use rolling and crawling to desperately escape from the explosion area, and he was lucky not to be hit by shrapnel, but the explosion was too close, and the space between the courtyard wall and the courtyard wall was more dynamic than usual.
The rifle with the bayonet hanging on the bevel came to the corner of the wall at the back of the house, and half-crouched down at the corner of the wall, and when the mule came to his side, he stood on his legs facing the corner, leveled the machine gun, and then nodded nervously. Now he only needs to take a step sideways to open fire directly at the other side of the corner.
Trying to lower his body as much as possible, he quickly flashed half of his shoulder and aimed with a gun, and more than a dozen corpses were placed in the sun horizontally, without even a trace of wind.
......
The mule left in the corner behind him with a machine gun, and Ma Liang ran to the other corner with his shell gun, nose next to him, got on the bayonet, and walked calmly along the other side of the wall, the sound of the fool's footsteps behind him.
Passing by the first corpse, by the way, poked the low-hanging bayonet, and then heard the runny bayonet also entering the flesh.
Continuing to walk forward, I heard the fool stop behind him and start searching.
The corpse had been blown to pieces half of its shoulder, and it was still pierced by its own bayonet, not uneasy, just used to it, used to it. The bayonet was drawn, and not even blood flowed.
"Why aren't there any of them?" said the runny nose, who was also drawing his bayonet, suddenly asked.
Looking at the corpses, it was clear that the devils were still trying to pick up the grenades, so they walked to the next one and replied, "Because they don't have mules." Then proceed to stab the bayonet.
......
More than 20 puppet soldiers stood in two rows, carrying a log to the base of the tall west wall. A crooked handle had been set up in the back of the side, aimed at the wall. The leader of the devil squad commanded a squad of devils, standing on both sides of the wall, and the bullets were loaded.
"One, two, hey—yell—"
Bang –
As the trumpet sounded, the log was swept up by the puppet army, and it hit the cyan brick mud hard, accompanied by a heavy muffled sound, and I could feel that the large wall near it shook suddenly, and the broken soil at the head of the wall fell with a clatter, choking someone coughing at the base of the wall.
Twice, three times, cracks began to appear in the wall at the location of the impact.
Four times, five times, the stump was already shattered like tree rings at the point of impact.
Finally, with the roar of collapse, the smoke and dust suddenly filled the air, and the high courtyard wall collapsed into a huge gap.
The puppet soldiers threw down the logs, ran to the sides in panic, and immediately began to howl with crooked machine guns, and began to sweep towards the courtyard in the gap without hesitation, until the dust and smoke had settled and they could see the situation in the courtyard clearly.
After a while, the squad leader on the side of the gap waved to the puppet soldiers around him, signaling the puppet army to attack.
The puppet soldiers were dumbfounded, they knew this was the case, and they smashed a ghost wall for him? Who the showed this bad idea! Why don't you smash the hammer a few times and say that you can't open it, let the mortar blow up this yard directly, don't you die yourself!
It's too late to think about anything, the eyes of the devil squad leader have become unfathomable, and the crooked sub-machine gun is standing behind him, and he has to go on if he doesn't get it.
So the puppet soldiers took off their guns one after another, trembled one step at a time, and began to enter the hospital with a hard head.
The window in the room suddenly began to fire, and the few who went in front of them began to fall before they took a few steps, and the crooked machine gun immediately re-found a position that could suppress the room, and the devils on both sides of the gap began to shoot back from the gap side, and the leader of the devil squad pointed his gun at the puppet soldiers and continued to charge.
For a while, there was a lot of gunfire near the gap in the courtyard wall on the west side, and one after another puppet soldiers crawled into the courtyard, and the devils were obscenely hiding by the gap to suppress, and the firefight was fierce.
Now the face of the leader of the devil squad is much better, as long as he gets in, it will be easy to do, and it is no longer hopeless to catch the live mouth, and it is estimated from experience that the battle will end within a quarter of an hour! He constantly threatened with the muzzle of his gun, kicked with his feet from time to time, and drove a platoon of puppet soldiers to fill the yard like a sheep.
Inadvertently, he seemed to see a figure in the afterglow, and subconsciously turned his head and looked north along the root of the wall, at the corner of the west courtyard wall and the north courtyard wall, a bear-like guy was lying on the corner and had just set up a machine gun.
This scene made the leader of the devil squad instantly like he was struck by lightning! Not to mention that there is a platoon puppet army in the north, is there not even my squad?
The machine gun went off, it was a Czech machine gun, at this time in this position, unexpectedly loud, unexpectedly clear, the bear didn't need to aim very accurately at all, as long as it hit along the root of the wall, it was all straight back, devil, puppet army, only the stunned squad leader was facing the machine gun with his chest, full of whistling and penetrating sounds, bloody rain and bloody wind.
At the same time, four hats of the Eighth Route Army suddenly poked out from behind a courtyard wall not far away, and then four black shadows were thrown over, obviously pointing grenades and fainter grenades.
One of the magazines was knocked empty by the bear in an instant, and then he picked up the machine gun and rolled and disappeared around the corner, and the four grenades were gone, leaving only four explosions outside the gap, setting up a fog of red and gray.
......
The Czech machine gun rang out for a while, followed by four explosions, and then the gunfire gradually stopped, both inside and outside the courtyard, and for a moment there was silence.
The devil squad leader outside the gate of the south wall realized that the gunshots and explosions outside the west wall were not quite right, and explained to the puppet army around him, and led his men to run west in a hurry.
But there was a devil who did not follow the team to the west, he was not the devil in the squad, and even the military uniform was a little different, he came with the captain of the gendarmerie, and he entered the village with this small group of devils. At this moment, he stopped at the wall not far from the gate, and quietly looked at the wall, a sheep's head drawn in chalk.
Stretched out his hand and wiped it on the pattern at will, chalk ash and wall soil ash fell together, and the pattern became a little blurry, faint, and couldn't see clearly. Then he turned around and walked all the way to the gate of the compound, facing the gate that had been tightly blocked, and drew his pistol, the Southern Fourteen.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the door in front of him, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the door in front of him, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the door in front of him.
With a little rhythm, he shot out the eight bullets in the gun in one go, breaking the silence of the scene, leaving eight clear bullet marks on the gate panel.
The nearby puppet army was confused, this imperial army ...... Is it the rhythm of anger? Still speculating on whether this was a sheep seizure, suddenly a gunshot rang out from inside the compound, abrupt and crisp, as if someone had gone off the rails......
