Chapter 62: The Bloody Lonely City (3)
Jiang Haoran ordered Yuan Dong to send two companies to support Su Peng's mobile battalion, and once the devil's artillery fire passed, the mobile battalion continued to serve as the main force. Although the casualties of the mobile battalion were nearly half, Jiang Haoran did not dare to change them to the second line of defense, and their shortcomings could still be seen in the hand-to-hand encounter just now, maybe they did not lack technology, physical fitness, or even courage, but they lacked a will. An indomitable, steely will that would rather die and dare to fight. The only one who insisted on fighting back under the devil's artillery fire just now was Liu Dakun with more than a dozen soldiers in the guard company. Everyone else hid in bunkers and didn't dare to come out. Although most of Yuan Dong's sharp knife battalion were captive soldiers, he still had more than 100 soldiers as the backbone, and his will to fight was definitely much stronger than that of the mobile battalion. Yesterday's table xiàn of the machine-gun battalion, is an excellent example. If the mobile battalion was rashly changed to the second line of defense, to be honest, Jiang Haoran was not sure that once the front was exhausted, they would not retreat directly.
After arranging the combat missions of Su Peng and Yuan Dong, Jiang Haoran urgently transferred Li Chang's machine gun battalion to the south gate, although yesterday's battle left only 93 people in the machine gun battalion, but all that could be left were elites, coupled with strong firepower, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Subsequently, Jiang Haoran and Liu He rushed to the stone house of the Japanese army's material warehouse with two guards, if they could find out the devil's intentions from here, maybe it would be helpful to the current war.
The three stone houses are in the innermost part of the barracks, and the appearance is no different from other barracks, except that the stone is larger and looks stronger, even the door is made of very thick iron plates, and there are several fist-sized steel locks hanging on the thick iron bolts, and the locks are all thumb-thick, and the soldiers smashed them for a long time, and there are no traces on them. It can be seen that it is strong.
The two guards stepped forward and pulled the bolt of the gun, but Jiang Haoran hurriedly stopped it. Devils don't dare to use bombs, maybe they are flammable and explosive, and if this shot goes down, don't make trouble again. Glancing left and right, he picked up a machine gun mount with a broken leg from the corner, and smashed it with a pry before opening the door.
Seeing that there were thirty or forty shell boxes neatly stacked inside, Jiang Haoran immediately felt disappointed, threw the machine gun rack in his hand, and asked the guards to open it and take a look.
As the box opened, the exclamations of the two guards made Jiang Haoran interested again, and he hurriedly stepped forward and immediately exclaimed: "! Red cannonballs? "I saw that the box was filled with a lot of wood chips, and the middle shelf was firmly fixed with this shell, which was not much different from an ordinary howitzer in appearance, except that the gun body was painted red.
"It's a gas bomb, right?" Liu He also exclaimed, "The devil's poison gas bombs are all made of face, but the body of the bomb is gray, and it is only painted with yellow, blue, green, brown, and red colors on the charge belt." This kind of all-red is unheard of? ”
Jiang Haoran carefully took out the shell and shook it gently, and a liquid flow sound sounded inside, and there was a word "HM5" on the body of the projectile. Jiang Haoran was very sure: "Gas bomb, you can't be wrong!" I'm afraid it's still a new type, and even the devils don't dare to bombard it with shells, but I'm afraid that the lethality is amazing, and even their troops will be injured. ”
"No, Ryokza! This shell is larger than the 120mm caliber, but smaller than the 150mm caliber, and the devil doesn't have a cannon of this caliber at all? Liu He frowned with a look of confusion.
"No, they do! This is 130 caliber, and the Navy of the devils is armed with naval guns of this caliber. It's just that why did the navy's naval artillery shells come back to this Mahuiling, which doesn't make sense? ”
"Could it be that the devils were originally going to use it when the battle situation was unfavorable, but now that they have won the battle, they feel that there is no need to use it, so they will temporarily store it here? Or are they preparing to attack the front line of De'an or even Nanchang from Poyang Lake? ”
"Hmmm! It's all possible. Jiang Haoran nodded, and as the guards opened all the doors, they revealed the same caliber of poison gas bombs stored inside, totaling more than a hundred. Jiang Haoran had more and more questions in his mind, why the same caliber? Could it be that they have already determined their goal, and this goal must be the most difficult for them to attack? Then there is only Wuhan! But why don't they use airdrops, wouldn't airdrops be more direct and effective? If it is really very toxic, the devils are afraid that the bombing will not be complete and will leak and harm their own people, but the devil has launched such a big offensive, isn't he worried that he will be forced to be in a hurry and burn with them?
These questions are too complicated, and the speculation of a moment and a half has no practical meaning for the dilemma in front of him, and it is enough for him to have an answer. That is, the devils did not dare to fire at the town because of these gas bombs. In that case, why did you hide the artillery battalion in the mountains? Just do it with them in this playground in the barracks. Anyway, there are still thirteen guns at home, so don't even have to work so hard to move the ammunition. In this way, Okamura Ningji was afraid that he was about to vomit blood, Jiang Haoran suddenly laughed when he thought of this, a kind of smug smile that disgusted others.
Jiang Haoran ignored Liu He's surprise, and called a guard to whisper, and the guard trotted all the way to the headquarters. Jiang Haoran smiled at Liu He: "Let's go, please watch a good show!" ”
The cannon fire at the south gate had stopped, and Su Peng was directing the soldiers to go to the south gate to block the enemy. As soon as Jiang Haoran came, he told everyone to retreat, and asked everyone to see how he alone destroyed all the enemies of the South Gate. Although Jiang Haoran said this, all the people still followed closely behind Jiang Haoran, and no one dared to believe what he said, after all, there is more than one team of enemies outside, even if the brigade battle can be extraordinary, it is impossible to keep up with the devils of thousands of people! Jiang Haoran didn't say anything more this time? Anyway, it's a show! It's more ornamental when it's closer.
The devil seems to have made a bloody investment this time, fifty or sixty tanks of various types roared forward, and the infantry distributed in echelons behind him was probably enough for two brigades. There is a great momentum that will not completely annihilate the Nanshan Independent Brigade and will never give up.
Walking to the forefront, Jiang Haoran turned around and said to everyone: "Widen your eyes for me!" Look how the little devil died! After saying that, he took out a pistol from his waist and fired a shot into the sky, and a red signal flare rose into the air.
"! What is he alone, he dared to add the artillery battalion, I knew that I would blow ?????? too" Liu Dakun's words were not finished, and the dense shells of "Boom, Boom, Boom" had already screamed out from the bottom of the Qianzhang Cliff. The hillside behind the devil suddenly became deafeningly lively, don't think about it, it's still yesterday's routine, kill the devil's artillery position first.
Suddenly there was a cannon sound behind him, and the devil naturally understood why, and he was dumbfounded, and his face was like ashes, watching in horror as the cannonballs flew overhead. Among the devils, there are those who were shelled by the Nanshan Independent Brigade yesterday, and they have enough experience. As soon as he saw this posture, he began to cry and howl: "Mom! How is this Jiang Haoran like a cockroach that can't be killed! Just bombed his artillery position, and he came again! "In the end, the literacy is good, knowing that this shell is about to fly towards them, I immediately looked for the crater, only to find that he was not the only one who was smart, and several nearby craters were already crowded with people, this is a fatal time, and I can't care about being polite, as soon as I lowered my head, I squeezed in directly.
