Chapter 443, Autumn Counteroffensive 2
The loading hand Kong Dong quickly loaded the kinetic energy bomb, and then said with a smile: "Brother Dong, it's up to you next!" If one shot doesn't work, let's have two shots! Let's see if the little devil's tortoise shell is hard, or our cannon howitzer is powerful! "Howler!"
Xue Dong aimed the crosshair at the shooting hole of the devil's bunker that was spewing tongues of fire, and then suddenly pressed the fire control switch. The steel body of the self-propelled gun, which was dozens of tons, suddenly shuddered, and a 150-millimeter kinetic energy bullet swooped straight towards the devil's bunker. The distance of more than 1,000 meters came in an instant, and the shells slammed into the vicinity of the pillbox shooting hole.
"Boom", the gravel flew sideways, a large area of cracks appeared in the cement bunker, and a deep crater appeared at the bomb drop site. Although the shell did not completely penetrate the thick concrete bunker, it had already weakened its defenses by more than half. "Hey, hey! Not bad! Hurry up and get a howitzer! ”
"Howler! Right away! "Little devil, see how you can defend yourself now!" After the shells were loaded, Xue Dong did not hesitate at all and pressed the fire control switch again. The 150-mm howitzer roared out, and almost as soon as the fire control switch was pressed, a loud bang exploded.
I saw a big hole in the devil's bunker, and the cannonball drilled directly into the inside of the bunker. Boom, boom, and then a series of explosions followed. Obviously, this shell detonated the ammunition inside the devil's bunker, and the devil inside must have been blown to pieces. "Haha, well done! It's cool to fight like this! ”
Yang Ruifu couldn't help laughing when he saw this, if it was before, a devil bunker like this, even if he wanted to allow people's lives, he couldn't fill it, it was simply an insurmountable gap. However, now, in the face of their own powerful self-propelled guns, they can only consume a few large-caliber shells at most, delaying the attack speed of the troops.
Wan Lianqing nodded with a smile and said, "Yes!" It's so relieving, in the past, we used to carry the devil's plane cannon, and often we didn't even see the devil soldiers, and we died a lot! Now that feng shui is taking turns, we can finally raise our eyebrows and exalt our eyebrows, and we don't have to fight like before! ”
Yang Ruifu said with a smile: "Let's not be too happy, these visible and bombarded fortifications outside are easy to deal with!" The street fighting after entering the county seat is the real hard bone. "The rumbling of artillery is constantly sounding, the entire devil's position is full of dust and gunsmoke, countless shrapnel and metal storms blow the March of Death, the fortifications are strong, but how can there be an impenetrable shield in this world?
The strong fortifications were constantly broken down, the trenches were breached one after another, and the stubborn little devils kept falling in pools of blood. "Yaga! The firepower of the Huaxia army is too strong! Without the support of the Imperial Air Force, we simply can't hold it! ”
The Japanese squad leader Ishino Aodai hid in the trench and looked at the more than ten heavy tanks in front of him, and looked at the black holes of the barrels constantly spewing out tongues of fire, and knew that most of them were in a catastrophe today! Puff puff, at this moment a string of bullets hit, and the heavy machine gunner next to Ishino Aodai had a flower in his head, and he fell into the trench with a plop. "Yaga!"
Hot blood and brains sprayed Ishino Cangda's face, and the heavy smell of blood and death made Ishino Cangda tremble involuntarily. With a crunch, the Tiger continued to push forward, easily past the first trench that had already been breached, and its massive steel body continued to magnify in the vast field of vision of the stone field.
"Yaga! The Huaxia tank is dead, dead! Ishino roared loudly, picked up the newly installed Iron Fist anti-tank bazooka, and blasted out at a tank directly in front of him. Due to Jiang Qiang's butterfly effect, this Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher, which originally appeared in 3 years, was developed by Germany in advance, and a batch was produced in the Northeast Military Factory.
However, this is only the first generation of products, not only the effective range is only 30 meters away, but the armor-piercing power is also very limited, although it can penetrate all the existing tanks in Japan, but it cannot cause fatal damage to Jiang Qiang, a heavy tank produced in Shanghai. Boom, there was an explosion, and the frontal armor of the Tiger tank, which was rushing in front, was smashed out of a shallow crater, and the trajectory of movement was not hindered in any way.
"Baga Ya Road! Why do they have such advanced heavy tanks? "The latest anti-tank weapon that had just been installed was like tickling, and Ishino's heart almost collapsed, but the Tiger tank did not stop at all, and kept approaching forward.
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" "Great Japanese Empire onboard!" Inside the trenches, many little devils babbled with red eyes, grabbed explosive bags and rushed out of the trenches.
Da Da Da, how could the tank troops and the infantry behind them, who had long expected this move, give the little devil a chance to get close, heavy machine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles instantly intertwined a death blockade. Puff puff, the little devils fell in a pool of blood before they could run to them, and several of them were even broken in two by heavy machine guns.
"It's over! Dead today! Ishino's eyes were full of despair, but he would not rest on his laurel, so he took a meter grenade from his waist, pulled the safety and slammed it his helmet.
Before Ishino could throw a grenade, a sniper rifle bullet came in, and with a single blow it pierced his steel helmet and into his skull, turning the red and white inside. Boom, the grenade in Ishino's hand exploded immediately, and a whole arm was directly blown into pieces, and the whole person fell backwards like a kite with a broken string.
The culprit of the massacre of Xiaowangzhuang, this executioner who was stained with the blood of Chinese compatriots, finally had evil retribution, and finally ended up dead without a corpse! The group of pillbox fortifications that the devils spent a lot of effort to build outside the city could stop the tanks and self-propelled guns of the Shandong Group Army.
In just over an hour, the fortifications outside the city were smashed one after another, and the positions were constantly lost and lost, leaving only a few hundred devil infantry to resist desperately in the trenches. "Baga Ya Road! Order all the troops outside the city to retreat into the city, hurry! Let the people of the whole city bury the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire today! ”
The captain of the devil brigade, Kota Takimura, saw that the situation was not good, and in the end he could only resort to the last move, wanting to rely on the complex terrain and crossfire in the city, as well as the lives of more than a thousand people, to make a final battle with the Huaxia Tiger Army.
"Yaga! Retreat! "Go into the city and fight in the streets!" "Hurry up!"
After receiving the order to retreat, the devil soldiers were like being amnestied, and they quickly retreated from the traffic trench to the rear, and soon the devil position outside the city was empty! "Haha! Well done! Order the troops not to rush into the city first, first stabilize the position outside the city, and then fight steadily! ”
In less than two hours, the devil's carefully constructed defensive position was captured, and Yang Ruifu was suddenly overjoyed, but he also knew that the next thing was the key. As soon as the Japanese defenders withdrew into the city, the three battalions of the 7th Regiment occupied all the positions outside the city and quickly consolidated them into forward positions, followed by the replenishment of ammunition.
One hour later, the tanks and self-propelled guns that had finished replenishing the ammunition began to exert their power again, and they roared at the city wall of Dongying County in front of them.
Under the powerful force of the explosion, the entire city wall trembled, and the broken masonry rolled down, and then the rammed earth wall mixed with rice paste was exposed.
After a rapid fire, the city wall more than ten meters high collapsed in a large area, and the rubble and earth formed several gentle slopes, and the fortifications and pillboxes on the city wall also cracked and collapsed under the saturation bombardment, turning into piles of ruins.
After the fierce battle in front, the captain of the little devil brigade knew that these fortifications could not resist the Shandong army with heavy firepower, so he even gave up the city wall fortifications without doing anything, leaving only dozens of devils to carry out symbolic resistance, the main purpose was to consume the shells of the Huaxia Tiger Army.
"Follow me in a row! Everyone be careful, shoot immediately if you notice anything unusual, and don't hesitate to do so. After the shelling ended, the front city wall was filled with gunsmoke, and the devils did not move, and the platoon commander Zhao Ning immediately roared and rushed towards the gap in the collapsed city wall with more than 50 soldiers.
Zhao Yu rushed to the front in the first place, and in just three minutes, he rushed to the bottom of the city wall, stepped on the soft gentle slope, and touched the incomplete upper edge of the city wall. When I looked cautiously, I saw that there was not a single devil on the city wall, and the ground of the city wall was blown up into potholes, and there were gravel and exposed dirt everywhere.
So, Zhao Yu quickly climbed the city wall and crawled forward to the bottom of the female wall opposite. Immediately after Zhao Yu showed half of his head to look at the city, he saw that all kinds of houses in Guangrao County were tall and short, and the house buildings were very dense, including many reinforced concrete buildings and small western-style buildings!
But at this time, there was silence in the county, not only could not see a little devil, but even the figures of ordinary people could not be seen. There is no need to think that the little devils and the puppet army are hiding in the commanding heights and fortifications everywhere, waiting for a cruel and bloody street battle with the Shandong Group Army, and those Chinese people who are stranded in Dongying County are naturally hiding at home and dare not come out. "Whoosh!"
Just glanced at it a few times, a faint fire suddenly flashed in Zhao Yu's field of vision, and he suddenly felt bad and hurriedly lowered his head. When, almost at the same time, a bullet flew out of the tactical helmet, and the powerful impact force and collision sound made Zhao Yu's head buzz.
Based on long-term training and many actual battles, Zhao Yu easily judged that the other party was definitely a sniper and used a German rifle. "Grass! This little devil's sniper pistol is really vicious, and he almost confessed here. ”
Zhao Yu was shocked into a cold sweat, he was already very careful just now, only half of his head was exposed, and he was still targeted by the little devil's sniper! Thanks to Zhao Yu's quick reaction and dodging a frontal hit, otherwise even if the helmet could block the bullet, the powerful impact was still enough to be fatal, and even the neck could be broken.
"Be careful, everyone, there are devil snipers in the city!" Zhao Yu yelled at his comrades who were crawling forward, then crawled to the side, and then carefully looked ahead through the shooting hole in the female wall above.
At this time, Zhao Yu realized that there was a reinforced concrete building in the direction he shot at him just now, which seemed to be the bank building on the map. The three-storey main building is like a behemoth, proud of the surrounding low-rise buildings, and you don't have to think about it, that building must be one of the main positions heavily guarded by the devils.
It didn't take long for more than 50 warriors to climb the city wall and hide behind the women's wall to observe and look for targets. However, the little devils hide tightly in various fortifications and buildings in the city, and they will be found somewhere for a while. But with the shot just now, Zhao Yu knew very well that there must be a lot of snipers in the devil waiting for him to emerge in the dark.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu had a plan and instructed a soldier beside him: "Xiao Wang, you find a brick, slowly climb over the city wall to lure the snake out of the hole, and see if the little devil will be fooled!" "Howler!"
Wang Zhizhong responded happily, and then pulled out half of the adobe brick from the ground with his hand, and slowly lifted it to the gap above the women's wall. Bang! As soon as the adobe brick came out six or seven centimeters, a bullet hit the adobe brick with great precision, and it was broken in two with a bang. "Mom!"
Although the bullet only hit the adobe brick in his hand, the tiger's mouth was also shaken, and the shock-like thrill made Wang Zhizhong's body tremble suddenly. "Come and don't be rude, the little devil will also eat me with a shot."
However, at this moment, Zhao Yu had already locked on the devil sniper hiding in the building in front of him, and as soon as the muzzle of the gun turned, the crosshair was set in the palm-sized shooting hole.
With a slight pull of the trigger, a metal bullet with an initial velocity of 755 m/s ejected out of the barrel, and in just 1.3 seconds, the bullet drilled through the hole with incredible precision. "Ahh The devil sniper let out a miserable howl, and the skull was split in half, and red and white flesh splattered everywhere. "Yaga! The Chinese army also has sharpshooters! You have to be extra careful. ”
The leader of the devil squadron hiding on the third floor was shocked, and he really didn't expect that the other party could kill his own sniper from a small shooting hole 900 meters away. "Which platoon is attacking ahead?"
At the rear of the position, Yang Ruifu saw his troops ascending to the top of the city wall, but there was no movement for a while, and after looking at it for a while, he asked Wan Lianqing, the commander of the first battalion: "Give me a phone call immediately, I want to know the latest situation." "Tuanza! That's our platoon, platoon commander Zhao Yu, I'll call you. ”
Wan Lianqing hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and began to contact: "Hey, hey, I'm the battalion commander Wan Lianqing, and the platoon commander Zhao Yu received it, please answer!" Zhao Yu hurriedly replied: "Report to the battalion commander, I am Zhao Yu, please instruct!" Wan Lianqing asked, "What is the situation in the county now?" ”
Zhao Yu replied: "Report to the battalion commander, the devil is cowering in the city, there is a reinforced concrete building in front of us, and the devil has a large number of snipers in it, this building has an open shooting range, and it is one of the absolute commanding heights in the city." A large open space has been demolished by devils under the city wall, and there must be a large number of devils in ambush in the buildings in front, and it is difficult for infantry to advance with a frontal breakthrough, please instruct. ”
Hearing this, Yang Ruifu immediately ordered: "Let all troops stand by above the city wall, don't go downstairs into the city first, and wait for the next battle order!" "Hmm!"
Wan Lianqing nodded, and then conveyed Yang Ruifu's order. After Wan Lianqing hung up the walkie-talkie, Yang Ruifu said in a deep voice: "Street fighting can only be broken through the wall and broken houses, and they will be broken one by one.
Therefore, we must not only set up artillery above the city walls, but also clear the ruins of the city gates so that the tank troops can cover the infantry into the city! Wan Lianqing nodded and said: "What the group said is very true, we have the time and means to play with the little devil!"
Wouldn't it be nice if there were no people in the city, we could carpet bomb the whole city like little devils, and burn the city to the ground with sulfur bombs, even if these little devils were steel and iron bones, they would have to be turned to ashes? "Yes! These little devils don't dare to compete with us openly, they will only play these insidious tricks! But the magic is one foot high and one foot high, so let's smash the devil's turtle shell little by little. ”
Yang Ruifu sighed lightly, he had also seen a lot of war examples and war documentaries before, so he naturally knew how tragic the defense of Jinshan County was and how the little devils did everything. "It's over! Finished! Obviously, there is a way out of retreat, but the little devil wants to defend the county seat, which is clearly to burn the jade! ”
"If the Huaxia Tiger Army and the little devils are red-eyed and bomb together indiscriminately, we will all have to be crushed to pieces, and there will be no place to bury us!" "The Shandong Group Army is benevolent enough, and so far it has not bombed the county seat, if it were a change of devils, the entire county would have become a ruin!" "Yes, it's all because we were afraid of wolves and tigers, and we were hesitant to do things, if we sneaked out of the city earlier like others, why didn't we bury with the little devil today!"
"The most hateful thing is that these little devils take our wives and children as hostages, as long as we dare to have two hearts, none of our wives and children will survive!" "The little devils are simply a bunch of inhumane beasts, and they have never treated us as human beings!"
"Well, what can be done then? The life of people in this troubled world is like a mustard, from the day we put on this dog skin, we are destined to have no good end! "Alas! ...... "Pu Ming is a puppet army company commander, he was ordered to take more than 100 puppet troops to garrison a residential house in the south of the city, and the commanding heights in front and behind were occupied by devils, and it was obvious that devils were guarding them.
Before, it was not that no one contacted them, so they tried their best to get out of the control of the devils, but due to the fact that the devils were too tightly guarded, they used a family as hostages, and their own luck psychology, they were stranded in Dongying County.
At the same time, they also became accomplices, so that many ordinary people could not get out of the clutches of the devils, and were trapped by the devils in Guangrao County, becoming the devils' talisman and human shield. Pu Ming took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, listen to me!" If the Shandong Group Army really fights, we must not shoot! The little devils can't beat the Shandong Group Army, and we are not opponents, except for sending them to death, there is no suspense at all!
And even if we all die in battle, the little devil will also let our family bury them, both horizontally and vertically, it is better to fight back and fight with the little devil! "Brother Pu is right! We've been in the bag for a lifetime, and we're dead before and after anyway, so it's better to fight with the little devil and avenge our wives and children! "Good!" "That's it!"
Pu Ming's proposal hit everyone's hearts, in fact, they were originally a militia group organized by Han Fuyu, but because Han Fuyu fled too quickly with the main force, they could only return to employment in order to make a living, and became a puppet army to maintain law and order for the little devils. "Yaga! It seems that our trick is still very effective, these stupid Chinese troops dare not carry out a large-scale bombardment of the county seat! ”
After listening to the report, the captain of the devil brigade, Kota Takimura, showed a hideous smile on his face, and said coldly: "As long as they don't use carpet bombing, we can rely on the advantage of street fighting to deal with them for a long time, and make them pay an unbearable heavy price for their own women's kindness." ”
"Hello! The Imperial warriors will use their lives and blood to tell these Chinese troops that the Imperial Japanese Army is not easy to mess with! They pay with countless lives and blood for every step forward! ”
The devil's staff officer's face showed an abnormal flush, and he said fiercely: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, since this trick works, can we take some ordinary people as hostages now?" "Shw! That's it, put more hostages in our main stronghold building! However, the families of the security brigade should not move for the time being, they are still somewhat useful. In addition, find a puppet army to tell the Chinese army about the situation, lest they pretend to be deaf and dumb! ”
Takimura Kota nodded his head without hesitation, this is also the biggest chip in his hand, and it should be played at this time. "Shandong army brothers, don't shoot! I'm here to deliver the news! "When the officers and soldiers of the 7th Regiment were setting up artillery and cleaning up the ruins at the city gate, a puppet soldier walked out of a civilian house with a white flag, waving the flag and shouting as he went." Don't shoot, let him go! ”
Zhao Yu found out about the situation and immediately ordered to everyone. Soon, the puppet army walked under the city wall and said loudly to Zhao Yu and the others: "Shandong army brothers, imperial army, no, it was the little devil who asked me to come and pass a message to you!" It is said that there are still more than 4,000 people scattered in the houses in the city, and if you enter the city to attack, the little devils will not guarantee their personal safety. ……”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and the others didn't know what the situation was, and they scolded angrily, "Shut up!" Are you still a Chinese? You despicable and shameless traitor, if you're just here to threaten, you can go back now! ”
"Go back and tell the little devils, if they still have a little conscience, let the people go, and we will give them a good time when the time comes!" "In addition, they are telling the devils that people are watching the sky, and today they dare to bury innocent people, and they will definitely return it a hundred times when we kill them in Japan in the future!"
The puppet army smiled bitterly and said: "Brothers, Shandong Army, are angry! We also have no choice, we have wanted to come to you before, but the little devils have always been wary of us, and they have threatened the lives of our family! When I came, our company commander instructed me to bring a message, saying that as long as you attack our defense area, we will not fire a single shot, and when the time comes, we will kill the little devils with you! ”
"That's it! I know, when the time comes, as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we can let you live. Zhao Yu nodded, and then asked, "Are there really more than 4,000 people in the city?" Where are they mainly? ”
