Chapter 238: The Battle of San Francisco
"Bang bang ......!"
The crisp sound of gunfire was exceptionally loud in the dark night, and even the most familiar people were woken up by the continuous rapid gunshots!
"What's going on? there's gunfire coming from there!" Harrison walked out of the room angrily in his pajamas!
"General, we don't know, but the gunfire just now came from the northwest!" replied the soldier on duty outside the door!
After listening to their words, Harrison couldn't help but be stunned, "Northwest direction, the military camp is in the west of the city, if you are in the northwest, is it there?" Thinking of this, Harrison's expression suddenly changed!
"Immediately send me an order, ordering all the troops stationed in San Francisco to be dispatched at once to guard the docks and the main entrances to the city, and not to slack off!"
"Yes, General!"
Looking at the back of the soldier hurrying away, listening to the constant gunfire coming from the northwest direction, Harrison's foreboding feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger!
"Why is there no artillery, if the Chinese want to attack the Kinmen Strait, they must clear the shore artillery deployed on both sides of the strait, otherwise they will not be able to send enough soldiers ashore! But why do you only hear dense gunfire now, shouldn't you!" Harrison frowned tightly, thinking in his heart.
In fact, there was no way to do this, because all the running latches of the more than 50 shore guns in the hands of the American soldiers in the Kinmen Strait were pulled out by the sea lion guys! Without artillery, they would have no way to prevent the huge Chinese expeditionary fleet from attacking San Francisco through the Kinmen Strait! In addition, in this era when there was no radio. It was obviously too late for the headquarters of the 1st Army Division in San Francisco, 20 kilometers away, to inform the Chinese that they had attacked! Therefore, in desperation, they had to use the rifles issued by themselves to empty more guns. I hope to remind my troops under the mountain to pay more attention!
However, their thoughts were not in vain, the gunfire in the dark night pierced far away, and it did wake up San Francisco sleeping in the darkness as they expected!
However, what is disappointing is that the efficiency of the US ** team is too slow! Remembering from the sound of gunfire, Harrison gave the order, and nearly 15 minutes have passed, and the US troops still do not know what they are going to do! After all, the commander did not give the order, and except for the location of the Kinmen Strait in the northwest, there was no gunfire in the entire city of San Francisco!
"Captain, are we going to fight?" Liu Dazhu looked at the messy U.S. ** camp opposite. This guy is a typical Shandong man, and he speaks with an urn and an urn of anger, but although he is straightforward, he has a lot of eyes! Now this guy is holding the light machine gun nicknamed 'Scorpion 2' ZQ-2 in his hand and aiming at the opposite side! Looking at his appearance, Zhang Yang absolutely believes that as long as he really agrees, this guy will definitely use the shè in his hand to reach a speed of 600 rounds per minute. Using a 30-round magazine and a 100-round drum, the new machine gun with a range of 1,500 meters and a total weight of no more than 10 kilograms beat the American soldiers on the opposite side!
With the continuous development of the Huo Jiajun, the secret intelligence departments such as the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Security Bureau, and the Secret Guard have recruited talents through threats, kidnappings and other shady means. In addition, Huo Jiajun himself did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire from Europe, as well as his own continuous training!
Coupled with Huo Shan's technical support, there are now more and more researchers from the Huo Family's Dragon's Lair, the Academy of Sciences, and the Academy of Military Sciences under the Ministry of Equipment. Correspondingly, Huo Jiajun's scientific research ability has also become stronger and stronger, and many new technologies far ahead of the times have been in Huo Jiajun's hands. The corresponding various new military equipment has also been continuously developed, but for the sake of secrecy, only special forces are equipped, one is to carry out actual combat testing and improvement, and the other is that the new individual weapon has a high degree of automation, not only the cost of equipment is higher, but also the consumption of bullets is too large, it is really not cost-effective!
Zhang Yang is the captain of the third squad, with the rank of major, one level higher than Zhou Mingyu, the captain of the fourth squad, so this time he is the commander of the third and fourth squads!
"What to fight! Our task is to drag the troops here to buy time for the landing of the main force! Now as long as the Americans do not leave this barracks, it has nothing to do with us!" Zhang Yang patted Liu Dazhu's thick brain shell and said with a chuckle!
Ignoring the lamenting expressions of the team members, Zhang Yang stared at the military camp opposite, he knew that the current Americans were still abiding by discipline and were not allowed to leave the barracks without a military order, but if they really waited until the fight started in San Francisco, I was afraid they would not be able to sit still!
"Well! Here we are!" Yan Dong looked at the busy city of San Francisco, and the look on his face was unprecedentedly solemn! This is the location of the division headquarters of the First Division of the United States Army! Because there is no suitable place to provide troops to be stationed in the city, most of the soldiers of the First Division are stationed outside the city! However, the officers of the United States Army, who are already accustomed to comfort, obviously do not want to live in a simple barracks, so the comfortable city of Zhan Ngfǔ has become the most ideal place for them! Of course, in order to ensure their safety, a five-hundred-strong jǐng guard battalion was also stationed in the city!
"Cheer up, the Americans are coming!" Yan Dong commanded in a low voice! After speaking, he picked up the new submachine gun in his hand, model ZC-1, named 'Flower Face', which had just been handed over to the special forces for use!
The flower face submachine gun is produced by Huo Shan according to the improvement of the later German M18 submachine gun, the caliber is 9mmx19mm, the gun is 800mm long, slightly shorter than the M18, and the 40-round magazine is used to feed the ammunition, and the snail drum used in the M18 is canceled, the shè speed is 400 rounds per minute, the muzzle velocity is 380 meters per second, and the muzzle velocity is 150 meters, which is no different from the M18! However, because of the processing technology and materials, the empty gun of the flower-faced submachine gun equipped by the Huo Jiajun weighed five kilograms, which was two catties heavier than the M18! However, compared with the powerful firepower of this new firearm in close combat, these small shortcomings are not a big problem at all!
Looking at the soldiers who quickly ran out of the gate of the city and were about to convey the military order to the dock and the barracks, Yan Dong immediately pulled the trigger of the submachine gun in his hand!
As soon as he did this, the other 19 members of the 12th squad of the Sea Lion could not be idle, and the light machine guns and submachine guns were all automatic fire! The more than 50 American soldiers who rushed out from inside the city almost did not react, and they were drowned in the rain of bullets!
This kind of dense firepower the Americans had never seen before, so they were unprepared and paid a lot of dead and wounded, and the remaining soldiers saw that it was not good, and hurriedly crawled back to the city with both hands and feet and never came out again!
"What's going on?" Harrison, who was already dressed neatly, couldn't help but be startled when he heard the fierce gunfire coming from outside the gate of the city, and from the intensity of the gunshots, he estimated that there should be at least five or six hundred people fighting! Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore! Hurriedly grabbed the pistol on the table and ran downstairs! He happened to bump into Howard, the head of the regiment, who was panicked and a little unsteady under his feet!
"Division commander! The Chinese have already attacked! Our soldiers who went out from the city have all encountered their snipers and suffered heavy casualties! We have to retreat!"
"Impossible, we have the Kinmen Strait, how can the Chinese fight here! This is absolutely impossible!" He laid so many shore artillery defenses in the Kinmen Strait, and now before the artillery sounded, the Chinese hit the urban area of San Francisco, and blocked the door of the headquarters of his army's first division! This really made Harrison a little difficult to accept!
Hearing his words, Howard couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, how could he believe such a result, but the fierce gunfire from the position of the gate of the city not far away was a constant reminder that all this was true!
Seeing the expression on his face, Harrison also understood what he was thinking!
"Let's go, let's go and have a look!"
The San Francisco City Zhèngfǔ Station is a four-story small building with a brick and stone structure of more than ten meters high, and in front of the building is a spacious large courtyard, which is usually a place where the city officials place their carriages, but now it has become a temporary military camp! Originally, the administrative staff of San Francisco City did not want these big-headed soldiers to live here, but in this San Francisco urban area, except for this free barracks for these officers in the army, there is really no other comfortable place without spending money!
"How's it going?" Walking into the courtyard, Harrison walked past the crowded soldiers, followed by the dim light of the fire, and at a glance saw the corpses of his own soldiers strewn beyond the gate. Although he was used to seeing life and death, Harrison still frowned at the tragic situation outside the door!
"How's it going?"
Hampson was frowning and thinking about how to defeat the enemy outside the door, and now he suddenly heard a voice behind him, and was about to turn around and reprimand the soldier who didn't understand the rules!
"Commander, the commander of the Jǐng Guard Battalion, York Hampson, has seen the commander!"
"Okay, what's going on here, who's fighting us, how many are they?"
"Commander, it's so dark that we can't see the enemy clearly, and we don't know how many of them there are! But they have a new weapon in their hands, and the firepower is very strong, and our soldiers have rushed twice, and the result is that they have suffered heavy losses, and now there are more than a hundred casualties!" said Hampson with a wry smile!
"What?"
Although Harrison already had a bad premonition in his heart after seeing the situation here just now and seeing the corpses of many American soldiers outside the door, such a heavy loss was something he had never expected before!
"Not good, General! Lie down!" Hampson shouted out of the corner of his eye when he saw the small black dot flying from the sky, and his heart was broken!
"......Boom!" There were more than a dozen explosions, and the scattered shrapnel quickly harvested the lives of the surrounding American soldiers!
Hand grenades, the standard equipment of the Huo family's army, in this dark night, the American soldiers who lack knowledge of this individual weapon pay a heavy price!
