Chapter 55: Alert Sentinel
"Hello!" Nami Toshiro also sneered, "If the Chinese army builds complete trench fortifications outside the city in advance, then when the imperial army shells, they can still hide in the trenches, although the lethality of the Type 96 field howitzer is strong, it is impossible to hit every shell into the trenches of the Chinese army, if this is the case, then the Chinese army still has a glimmer of life!" ”
After a pause, Nami Toshiro continued: "But now, the Shina army has stupidly retreated into the city, and the heavy artillery brigade can beat the civilian buildings in the city into ruins with just one artillery bombardment, and the Shina army hiding in the civilian houses will also be buried alive, so that the imperial army can capture Jinshan County without much effort!" ”
"Haha!" When Noboru Kunisaki heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.
After a while, Noboru Kunisaki laughed again and said to Toshiro Nami, "Nami-kun, immediately notify the heavy artillery brigade and you can start preparing for artillery fire!" ”
"Hello!"
……
Xiao Anzi lay quietly at the head of the South Gate, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Xiao Anzi is a nickname, a large An Zhenyuan, a native of the Tujia family in Xiangxi!
Because of the conflict between relatives and the elders in the family, Xiao Anzi ran away from home in a fit of anger, and joined the Hunan Army as a big soldier with the dignity of a dignified young master, and was later incorporated into the 367 regiment, and is now a squad leader.
At this time, most of the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment had already hid in the tunnels, except for a few guard sentries.
Unfortunately, Xiao Anzi is one of the vigilant sentinels, and his squad is in charge of the South Gate Tower!
Although they are far apart, but through the battlements of the city wall, you can still see the devil's artillery position, when Xiao Anzi saw that the muzzle of the devil's cannon was slowly raised, and the blood on his body was frozen in an instant!
Today's Xiao Anzi is no longer the eldest young master of the An family when he just left home a year ago, but a veteran who has experienced many tragic battles, he has already seen the lethality of the devil's cannon, especially this kind of large-caliber heavy artillery, a cannon down is a big pit, and a platoon of people is gone!
But no matter how scared he is, Xiao Anzi must grit his teeth and hold on!
As a soldier, how can you escape from the battlefield?
So at this time, Xiao Anzi can only pray for the blessing of the ancestors of the An family!
Just as Xiao Anzi was praying to herself, a whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky!
The whistle was long and low, and Xiao Anzi breathed a sigh of relief, the landing point of this shell was at least a thousand meters away!
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the field about a kilometer away from the South Gate Tower!
However, Xiao Anzi's heart soon re-energized, because he knew very well that this was just a test firing, and the devil cannon group used it to correct the shooting parameters!
Soon, the devil artillery group will start a large-scale shelling!
Sure enough, almost five minutes later, there was a continuous scream of cannonballs in the sky above Jinshan County!
Moreover, the screaming sound of the cannonball this time was short and sharp, just like screaming directly in the ear!
Xiao Anzi immediately put his fists under his chest, and the whole person stuck to the ground, and closed his eyes at the same time!
The next moment, Xiao Anzi's ears burst into a loud bang, and the huge sound was like a spike, piercing his eardrums in an instant, making his head suffocate!
Almost at the same time, the city wall below him shook violently!
Immediately after, a continuous series of huge explosions sounded from the surroundings, but Xiao Anzi couldn't hear it, because his ears were already temporarily deaf from the first explosion just now.
But the violent tremor of the wall under itself can be felt.
Xiao Anzi is really worried that the city tower will not be able to withstand the collapse of the bang!
……
The little devil's cannonballs seemed to be inexhaustible, one after another, row after row, in a trance, I don't know how long it took, in Xiao Anzi's feeling, it seemed that it was only a moment, and it seemed like a hundred years had passed, and he felt that the tremor of the city wall under him was finally no longer as violent as before.
Is the shelling of the devils finally over?
Xiao Anzi got up blankly and opened his eyes.
Everywhere he entered, there was a thick smoke of gunpowder, which not only blocked his vision, but also choked Xiao Anzi with almost no way to breathe!
After a long time, the smoke of gunpowder that shrouded the city finally slowly dispersed.
Xiao Anzi finally managed to see the scene within fifty meters of his surroundings.
But he saw that the city wall less than twenty meters away from him had been blown open a huge gap, and the rammed earth made of straw mixed with glutinous rice juice had collapsed, forming a huge gentle slope outside the city wall!
Looking back, Xiao Anzi saw the rickety South Gate Tower.
Almost at the same time when Xiao Anzi turned around, the south gate tower collapsed with a bang, and the city head once again rose up with smoke and dust, and the rubble, rafters and beams flew in all directions, and a small piece of rubble flew over Xiao Anzi's cheek, opening a hole in his face, and suddenly it hurt hotly.
Xiao Anzi didn't feel anything about this, because his attention had been attracted from outside the city!
At this time, the smoke of gunpowder hanging over the city had become very faint, so Xiao Anzi's vision could be seen far away.
But I saw that about 2,000 meters away, a group of devil infantry had already carried 38-type rifles with bayonets on them, and under the guidance of several tanks, they were crushing towards the south gate.
Without a hint of hesitation, Xiao Anzi raised his rifle and pulled the trigger!
"Bingge!" A crisp gunshot rang out from the top of the city.
After firing a shot, Xiao Anzi jumped up and rushed to the horse road quickly.
"Withdraw, brethren, with me!" Xiao Anzi shouted loudly as she ran.
As vigilant sentinels, their mission has been accomplished, and now it's time to shift!
However, no one responded, and Xiao Anzi ran for less than two steps, and then instinctively stopped.
"Lao Sha? Kiko? Little three?! Xiao Anzi called one name after another, but no one responded.
Xiao Anzi's face immediately showed a miserable color, and tears flowed down, more than a year of military career, has already sharpened his heart as hard as steel, but in the face of the departure of the robe, he still can't help but burst into tears.
"Are there any alive? Cattle? Are you squeaking in a hurry? Lao Guan? Don't fucking play dead for me! ”
A few minutes later, until Xie Kangquan rushed over with the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, Xiao Anzi was still looking for his comrades like crazy at the head of the city, so he quickly asked the guards to drag him down from the city.
Xie Kangquan didn't talk nonsense, according to the back of Xiao Anzi's neck is a knife, Xiao Anzi snorted, fell softly, Xie Kangquan reached out and grabbed it, and handed him to the guard behind him, and said, "Take him to the tunnel!" ”
After speaking, Xie Kangquan looked around at the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion and shouted: "All of them, ready to fight!" ”
