The two 40-pound bombs came from a second fighter jet, the first of which was hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun and dropped a bomb, but it did not hit, but passed by and landed a few meters northeast of the building.

Although later generations usually referred to this small aerial bomb as "sweet potato", in fact, even a 40-pound aerial bomb has a charge of 8 kg, which is equivalent to a 150mm grenade.

High-speed fragments scattered in all directions, and at least ten officers and soldiers of the second team who were transferring the wounded were hit and fell to the ground, and the shock wave also overturned a group of people.

"I'll it!" From Zhou Changfeng's point of view, the fighter that was hit was deliberately attacking the wounded team, and he pointed to the east and shouted, "Xue Can! Send a platoon to catch that dog thing for Lao Tzu! ”

At this time, the Vincent bomber also flew over the building after a circle, and a 500-pound bomb fell hard.

"Boom!"

Concrete shards splattered in all directions, and after the deafening explosion, the overwhelmed building finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed with a clatter, filling the air with gray smoke.

Second Lieutenant Pereira was also a mistake today, he really didn't expect to be shot down so quickly.

During the air raid a few days ago, he had never been attacked so hard-hitting, and the anti-aircraft fire on the ground was at most a few shuttles to remind these pilots not to be too arrogant, but just now......

In fact, a total of six 12.8mm rounds hit the Fury fighter of the 45th Squadron of the British and Indian Air Force, and the hastily mixed chain of bullets worked wonders - two piercing incendiary rounds, one tungsten core armor-piercing round, one tracer round, and one instantaneous explosive round.

Among them, the 640-horsepower liquid-cooled engine produced by the Roll-Royce company, which was sturdy with one armor-piercing bomb and one fire-piercing bomb, immediately burst and stopped, and the entire aircraft suddenly became a glider.

Although Ensign Pereira tried his best to let the biplane fly far to the south, because the altitude of the previous dive attack was too low, he could not fly far at all, and parachuting at a height of several tens of meters was to find death, and he could only control the plane to make a forced landing.

A dozen Ming soldiers who arrived in two "requisitioned" civilian trucks quickly caught the tall Englishman, searched the flight briefing and map in the driver's seat, and then escorted Pereira into the car.

On the way back, they encountered a British and Indian combat patrol trying to rescue the pilot, although the latter had about two dozen people, but they were a few hundred meters away, and the soldiers driving the car slammed on the accelerator, and the two trucks drove away.

As soon as he saw Pereira, Zhou Changfeng went up with an uppercut, and at the same time shouted in English: "Why attack the wounded?!" Can a blind man in England be a pilot?! ”

Pereira, who was punched when they met, was stunned on the spot, "Wounded? I attacked an anti-aircraft machine. ”

"you! Do you need me to take you to see it? ”

"Sir, I think this is a misunderstanding......"

Enraged, Zhou Changfeng said and grabbed him by the collar again, "Who knows what your subjective thoughts are?" The truth is that you have caused a murder on the person who injured you! Do you still want to be treated as a prisoner of war? ”

Seeing Zhou Changfeng pull out his pistol, Ensign Pereira was so frightened that he couldn't stop swearing and insisted that his attention was all on the anti-aircraft machine gun upstairs, and that he had almost knelt down and kowtowed before he noticed that there were wounded people evacuating downstairs, so he reluctantly let him put the pistol back into the holster.

In order to destroy the hospital building, a solid fire support point, the side also lost a fighter plane?

Although he was a little helpless, he finally pulled out the biggest nail, and Major General Wilson breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, the next step was to resolutely divide and surround these Chinese troops, and in a few hours they would collapse, and he immediately ordered to continue the attack.

As a result, the Anglo-Indian troops, who had retreated to the edge of the city, had to prepare again and march into this ruin, which they feared.

"Now that there is no building as a key stronghold, it will be difficult for the enemy to continue the three-way attack later."

"It's not a big problem, it's not long before it gets dark, and they can organize another wave of attacks at most. Even if they are divided and surrounded, they don't have to worry, they calmly respond to the battle, stick to the spot, and when the evening comes, they should retreat. ”

Zhou Changfeng and the deputy captain of the team leaned on a Carden-Lloyd ultralight tank that was still emitting wisps of black smoke, when it was hit by a battle gun, the driver probably panicked and stepped on the accelerator and rushed out dozens of meters away.

Just as a few of them were giving orders to adjust the position of obstacles and firing points, the sound of shells suddenly sounded in their ears?

After several days of shelling, everyone is familiar with the sound of this shell flying in the air. If the shell of the barrel of the cannon falls near itself, it has almost no time to react, and the shell hits the ground and explodes as soon as it hears the sound; But if it's overhead, you can hear a sharp cracking sound.

And what they hear now is a relatively low "whoop", which is not harsh, it is the sound of 76.2mm mortar shells.

"Lie down!"

The bodies of several people had just tilted and were about to lie down, and a mortar shell landed more than ten meters away.

After a dozen explosions with a bang, this short round of shelling was gone? Several officers and soldiers next to him looked left and right, and only after confirming that the shelling had stopped, did not plan to get up.

Zhou Changfeng, who fell to the ground, struggled to get up, but suddenly found that he couldn't do it? That's when he felt the pain hit him.

Xiao Li exclaimed, "Battalion commander!! ”

One of the corporals also screamed, "Grass... Medic! Damn! Get out of here! ”

Confused, Zhou Changfeng only felt that he was being carried onto a stretcher, and then staggered and moved, followed by continuous bandaging, and the sound of people's hurried conversation could be faintly heard in his ears.

After a while, he felt a needle stick in his arm, and soon the pain faded without a trace.

After a short while, when he fully regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he saw Xie Wancheng and Xiao Li beside him.

The latter sighed with emotion: "Battalion commander, you are really lucky!" As he spoke, he handed Zhou Changfeng an enamel water cup, which contained the fragments of jade pendant and the fragment that had been taken out.

A total of three high-velocity fragments had hit the perimeter wind, one of which had been shattered into the steel helmet, and the other had a cut in his left arm, but not deep.

The last fragment that should have been fatal hit him in the chest, but it was blocked by the jade pendant given by Xia Xiaoshi - after smashing this delicate jade pendant to pieces, the fragment with great kinetic energy was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and finally it was only embedded in the flesh and skin.

"That place happens to be the mouth of the heart, fortunately I didn't drill through, it's really a millimeter difference." Xie Wancheng said with a worried face.
