Chapter Twenty-Three: Wang Xikui's Thoughts
"This is also a turret?"
In Jiazhuang at night, Wang Gensheng, who was dressed in plain clothes, held a telescope and looked at a five-meter-long columnar building in front of the gate of the Yang family's compound in the distance, and his tone was disdainful.
It's just over five meters high, which is also a turret?
Labor grenades can be blown in!
What kind of turret is this?
Moreover, to say that this product is a bunker, it is really not good in appearance.
The bunker is short and fat, the turret is thin and tall, and the one in front of me is short and thin, with a big head and a small body, nondescript, and there are a lot of blind spots in the sight, which can be easily touched.
"Captain, don't look at this... The turret is small, but the materials are no worse than those of the devil, and even the bulletproof effect is even better. ”
Beside Wang Gensheng, another plainclothes soldier of the Independent Regiment retracted his gaze and said to his captain, while speaking, he hesitated for a while, but decided to use the turret to call this thing.
After all, this thing is modeled after the devil's turret.
The warrior continued:
"I inquired with people nearby during the day, and when building this bunker, the Liu family also imported half a palm-thick steel plate from abroad, and the machine gun building above was sealed with steel plates all around, and a hole was dug in the middle, and then the machine gun was stretched out."
"You can't get in from the outside, you can shoot at will inside."
"And the base of this turret is all bluestone bricks poured with cement, which is very strong, and our big tumor is afraid that it will not be able to collapse."
"There are two machine guns on the top floor, one is a crooked handle given by the devil, and the other is a French gun, but I don't know what it is, and there are dozens of grenades in it."
There is a group of bandits and hooligans in the Yang family's compound, and this group of guys shows off their martial arts in Jia Zhuang on weekdays, and naturally the weapon configuration inside the compound will also be proudly shown off.
It couldn't be easier to hear these news.
"Steel plates? Half a palm's thick! ”
Wang Gensheng frowned.
The steel plate of half the palm of the hand can basically block all bullets.
He looked closely into the distance, not knowing whether it was a turret or a bunker.
The cylindrical base, about two meters wide and three meters high, topped a boxy stone brick house, and through the light coming from the inside of the compound, you can see the narrow machine gun holes around the top and the swaying figures in the stone turn.
"Well, it's true, although there are a lot of shooting dead ends, but the attack compound must pull out this."
Wang Gensheng nodded.
This point of fire has a big dead end, and it is no problem for his assault team to bypass it, but it is a great threat to the large army and must be pulled out.
"But we don't have devil's cannons, and if we want to blow this thing up with grenades, I'm afraid we will have to have dozens of grenades, and it may not be able to blow it up." Another soldier was worried: "Mortars are probably useless against this thing." ”
Two-meter-thick cement stone bricks, enough for grenades to choke.
"Do you still need a cannon?"
Glancing at the warriors beside him, Wang Gensheng hooked the corner of his mouth:
"I can't help the devil's cannon tower, but this, hmph, I'll let you see my unique skills."
"Unique?" The warrior was stunned.
"You'll know then, withdraw!"
Without explanation, Wang Gensheng waved his hand and withdrew to the mountain with a few plainclothes soldiers.
Before leaving Jiazhuang, Wang Gensheng glanced at the devil's cannon tower at the entrance of the village.
Sanhe soil, large blue bricks, nearly 20 meters high, with searchlights on the top floor, machine gun firing ports on the walls, a three-meter-wide trench around the bottom of the turret, and a circle of barbed wire.
This is the real turret.
That's the big problem!
Looking at this turret, Wang Gensheng couldn't help frowning.
After fighting with the devil for so long, this kind of cannon tower has left a lot of shadow on him, and he has suffered a lot of losses in this turret in the new regiment before.
Even today's independent regiment has no way to take this kind of turret.
Mortars are useless, not even for the new 82-caliber guys, the thick three-fold adobe walls can easily withstand mortar bombardment, and the barbed wire and trenches around it, with machine-gun firing ports with holes on all sides, are a nightmare for the infantry.
As for the night, the large searchlight at the top of the turret can make the night seem like day within nearly a kilometer.
"There's no need to deal with this thing tonight, though."
"Wait until the machine gun suppresses the searchlight and the machine gun firing hole."
Wang Gensheng glanced at the road about five hundred meters away from the turret and breathed a sigh of relief.
There are only light machine guns in the turret, whether it is a crooked handle or a Type 96, after the range of 400, the bullet does not know where to fly, the threat is limited, and the huge searchlight is a live target, which can be easily extinguished.
There is little threat to them on this mission.
A few people hid in the darkness and walked towards the mountains where the large army had gathered in the distance.
······
In a mountain forest on the side of Jiazhuang.
The 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment and some veterans mobilized from the 1st and 3rd Battalions totaled more than 200 people and the reinforced battalion were hidden here, and the artillery company and some soldiers of the 2nd Battalion had already laid an ambush on the road from Shouxian to Yangquan to prepare to stop the reinforcements of the devils.
In the team, Wang Xikui touched the new Mauser rifle in his hand, and glanced around by the faint starlight.
He was looking for a man named Cao Mantang.
According to the head of the regiment, this person is also a top shooting master, and he once participated in the previous battle to attack the devil Shuangfeng Town, during which he killed no less than 20 devils.
More than 20 ah·····
Or did it in one battle.
Wang Xikui's eyes were envious and yearning.
He has been in the army for a year, and he has only killed nine devils, including the battle before Commander Li came, and in the previous battle of Yangquan, he only killed five devils.
Devils are not easy to kill, they will not be as stupid as the puppet army, when attacking, their bodies are always pressed very low and hiding behind shelters, and they often move, it is difficult to aim.
Of course, this is not a problem for Wang Xikui, whose marksmanship is his strong point.
As long as the devil shows his head, he can take aim.
But the biggest problem is that the devil's marksmanship is not dry, not only to aim and kill the devil on the battlefield, but also to be careful to be aimed and shot by the devil at any time, which is more than ten times more difficult than shooting at the shooting range.
Several times he was almost hit by a devil.
Find an opportunity to learn from him····· Wang Xikui thought to himself.
However, he searched for a long time, but he did not find Cao Mantang's figure, this battle, he had seen this person except when he set out for the first time to assemble, and he had not seen it since.
"Wang Xikui, what are you hanging around? Keep your head down. ”
The company commander's scolding made Wang Xikui only retract his gaze.
"If only I could be like him·····"
Muttering, Wang Xikui hid his body in the grass.
The regiment commander specially approved Cao Mantang for having the right to act at will, and he did not need to be restrained by his superiors, as long as he did not leave the large army too far, he could go wherever he wanted, and when he was fighting, he could freely decide the position of the position, and he would fight that devil if he wanted to.
This made Wang Xikui envious.
If you can move around the position at will, it will be much easier to kill the devils.
However, in order to obtain the freedom of movement approved by the regiment commander, you need not only good marksmanship, but also strong concealment to ensure that you do not reveal the whereabouts of the troops when you act.
Wang Xikui has to admit that he is still far from this.
For example, he searched for so long along the way, but he didn't see where Cao Mantang was.
"I have to find a chance to learn this hidden kung fu from Cao Mantang..."
Wang Xikui muttered to himself:
"Or figure it out for yourself?"
"After all, I am old, and my body is not as good as those young people, and their methods may not be suitable for me."
Wang Xikui is close to 40 years old this year, and although he has been trained and consciously recuperated by the army, his physical fitness is still far worse than that of the young people in the team, but correspondingly, in terms of experience, he is much thicker than the young people who are more than 20 years old.
At this time, Wang Gensheng and several people also came back from Jiazhuang, and when they passed through a bush about 500 meters away from the hidden point of the large army, Cao Mantang suddenly heard a voice from inside:
"Captain."
Cao Mantang belonged to Wang Gensheng's commando.
"Continue to hide."
Wang Gensheng, who was accustomed to Cao Mantang's ghostly haunts, was not frightened.
A few other plainclothes people were startled and almost pulled out their guns. They were on high alert all the way, they really didn't expect someone to hide so close to them.
A few people glanced at the grass around them, which was only five meters away from them.
So close, if the other party had a twenty-shot barge gun, or a machine gun, I am afraid that they could wipe out the three of them in an instant, and they would not even have a chance to fight back.
"Yes."
In response, Cao Mantang, who was covered with branches in the grass, moved, and stopped talking.
After the three of them left, Cao Mantang looked at the new Mauser rifle in his hand and gently withdrew the bullet from the chamber.
During this time, a crisp clicking sound sounded, which made Cao Mantang have to slow down.
"Trouble..."
Exiting the bullet and locking the safe, Cao Mantang muttered.
The accuracy of the new gun is even better than that of the Czech type, and one shot is more economical for a devil, but this gun has the same problem as the Czech type, when the bolt is pulled, the sound is very loud, and it is easy to expose the whereabouts in a close and quiet environment.
"I don't know if there's this problem with the sniper-specific gun that the regiment commander said..."
Cao Mantang was still thinking about the professional sniper rifle that Li Yunlong had said.
in the ranks of the rear.
"Captain..."
Wang Gensheng reported the situation of the Liu family's compound and Jiazhuang to Li Yunlong, including the building of the turret in front of the compound, the building of the bunker and the devil's turret.
"Third Company Commander, you organize people to suppress the devil's turret."
"Wang Gensheng, you and I will attack the Liu family's compound together."
"Political Commissar Zhao, you will follow us about 500 meters with a large army, and after I send out the signal gun, you will rush in to carry the grain." Li Yunlong quickly organized a battle plan.
"Captain, I want to follow you." During this period, the Wei monk ran over and asked to join the war.
"You are the commissar guard, so you are protecting the safety of the commissar!"
But Li Yunlong glared back at the monk with a look, and even if Zhao Gang interceded, Li Yunlong did not agree.
"Let's go!"
Before leaving, Li Yunlong glanced back at the aggrieved monk, and the corners of his mouth hooked.
Hehe, it won't be long before this monk is mine.
