With a "boom", the wooden house next to Hikten was instantly torn apart, and he was also crushed by the collapsed wooden house.

Hickten desperately tried to crawl out, but because the weight of the thing on him was too heavy, he tried hard for a long time, but he didn't move. He felt his breathing get shorter and shorter, and finally he was out of breath.

When the comrades-in-arms saw that Hikten was buried in the ruins, their eyes immediately turned red, and they fired at the opposite side like crazy to cover it, buying time for the infantry gun to open fire.

Several gunners also took advantage of Hikten's efforts to attract the opponent's firepower, pushed the infantry guns out, quickly aimed and loaded, and fired several rounds of artillery fire at the fastest speed, killing and wounding the shogunate troops in the wooden house opposite.

"Rush, ......"

With a loud roar from the platoon commander, the fighters charged. The man with the tin can on his back also rushed over. They finally knew what was going on with the man carrying a tin can behind him.

I saw him pick up an iron pipe and face a house, and suddenly, a scorching flame erupted, and the soldiers of the shogunate army in the house instantly became roast chickens. Several shogunate troops, covered in fire, rushed out of the burning house with crazy screams, rolling on the ground and howling bitterly.

This is the Far Eastern Company, in the warehouse of the Soviet army in Vladivostok, a dozen antiques, the Soviet Union was equipped with LPO-50 flamethrowers in the fifties. The liquid column injection method is adopted, the muzzle velocity is 66m/s, the effective injection distance is 50 meters, and the number of injections is 3 times.

Flamethrowers are often used to destroy enemies at close range, as well as to sweep bunkers and fortifications. Burning oil will sneak in from the firing holes and ventilation holes of the fortifications, bringing heat and suffocation to the enemies in the bunkers. It's quite powerful. The only drawback was that it was too heavy, and the Soviet LPO-50 flamethrower contained a total of 22 kg of fuel.

Because the Far Eastern Company was relatively tight on various oils before. These dozen LPO-50 flamethrowers have been out of storage. Although the Sakhalin Petrochemical Base solved the company's oil problem in the later period, the Military Commission did not use them in several campaigns in recent years due to environmental and other reasons.

This time in the Japanese campaign, because there will be positional battles and street battles, these dozen old antiques were brought. And specially trained a group of flamethrowers. In the street battles in Edo Castle, where heavy machine guns and artillery did not give full play, more than a dozen Spitfire teams performed very well.

With the support of flamethrowers, they quickly captured the shogunate stronghold hidden here on the opposite side. Several warriors also ran to Hikten, removed what was pressing on him, and pulled him out of the rubble.

When Hick was freed, he coughed violently, and then desperately breathed in the fresh air, and after a while. It's a relief. He was almost crushed to death just now, and that was a really hard feeling.

At this time, the platoon commander ran over in a hurry, hugged Hikten's shoulder, and shouted anxiously: "Hikten...... How are you? Hurt? You're scaring me to death...... Hygienist, where did you die......"

It wasn't until Hickten repeatedly said he was okay that the platoon commander calmed down. This time they were ambushed, although one person was wounded. However, it destroyed a stronghold of the Shogunate Army and eliminated dozens of samurai and ashigaru of the Shogunate Army. and captured a three-pounder Western front-loading gun.

The resistance of the shogunate forces in Edo Castle was fierce. They used a large number of iron cannons, bows and arrows, and even some small-caliber Western-style front-loading guns, hiding on rooftops and inside houses, house by house, street by street, and fought desperately with the Far Eastern Army. Drove out a large number of advance cannon fodder, delayed the attack in the Far East, and then they hid in all corners of the outer city to fight the Far Eastern army.

The will to fight was tenacious, and the way of fighting was very difficult. The Far Eastern Army simply could not give full play to the superiority of advanced weapons, and the role of artillery fire and air support in the rear was not obvious. Although the Far Eastern Army suffered very few casualties, many officers and soldiers were wounded, and a lot of time was spent.

Gao Jianguo saw the wounded carried out in the city. In a fit of rage, he also entered the city. Qiang Quansheng and Hao Changfeng saw Gao Jianguo's gloomy face, and their faces were a little unbearable.

Seeing what they wanted to explain, Gao Jianguo waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The battle has been fought so far, don't talk about it." It's not up to you to blame, these little devils are too hard to fight. If we can't go on like this, we won't have time to spend time with them here. ”

Qiang Quan Sheng said with a wry smile: "We still underestimated the will to fight of the defenders of Edo City, mainly because our previous siege battles were too smooth, so this time we underestimated the enemy." The two of us have worked on a new plan to get the engineering unit into the city...... But in this way, there will be no living people left in Edo Castle after the battle. ”

Listening to his words, Gao Jianguo was amused. He said gloomily: "A few hundred years later, this is Tokyo, as long as it is Chinese, I dream of a Tokyo Massacre, in order to comfort the hundreds of thousands of souls in Nanjing back then." Paralyzed, what do you care about this and that now, you can rest assured that you can boldly command the battle, and be polite to the little devils. ”

A dozen tracked military engineering vehicles roared into Edo Castle, divided into several directions, and began to rampage with impunity. The rows of wooden houses in the outer city of Jiangwai could not withstand their destruction at all.

Hikten and his comrades were fighting hard street by street, and although with the help of infantry guns and flamethrowers, their attack had increased considerably, but in the face of the complex environment of Edo Castle, it was still difficult to move forward, and every step would be blocked.

Suddenly, there was a violent roar behind Hickten, and when he looked back, he was immediately shocked. Several huge ironclad cars roared over. The platoon commander was also taken aback, he saw a major sitting on the armored car headed by him, and hurriedly ran up, saluted, and then shouted: "Report to the commander, my platoon is carrying out a sweeping mission in the city, please instruct ......"

The engineer major jumped out of the car and returned the salute: "The engineer unit is ordered to assist the front-line troops to participate in the attack, and your platoon is responsible for protecting the engineer unit and performing security guard tasks. Now tell us a little bit about the situation. ”

The platoon commander paused for a moment, then shouted, "Yes......" and then led the major of the engineer unit to the front of the position and briefed him on the situation at the front of the battlefield.

When the engineer troops attacked the city, Hikten and their cavalry were patrolling outside the city, and they did not see the divine might of these big guys.

A squad leader took out a cigarette and threw it around the people in the armored car, and then asked with a smile: "Brother, what are these big guys for?" ”

The commander of the armored car engineering vehicle took the cigarette and smiled: "Wait a while, you know ......" (to be continued......
