Chapter 732 The Collapsed Japanese Army (Two in One)
one o'clock in the afternoon.
As the commander of the 68th Regiment, Konoe Hoon, who was straddling his horse, waved his hand violently.
One and a half brigades, nearly 1,500 people launched an offensive on the Sixing Warehouse.
First, the armored vehicle squadron quickly drove to the north square of the Sixing Warehouse. The vanguard infantry rushed inward under the cover of the vehicle-mounted machine guns. The snipers and heavy machine gun firepower points in ambush on the roof of the ruins opposite the Sixing Warehouse also began to shoot condescendingly at the front trenches and the flickering fire. The windows form a high and low firepower net.
The soldiers of the 524th regiment in the trench were so overwhelmed that Shangguan Zhibiao could only order them to abandon their positions and retreat to the firepower point under the gate.
Boom~
Boom~
Boom~
With a bang, the landmine planted in front of the north gate was trampled and exploded by the Japanese vanguard, and the soil flew into the sky with stumps and broken arms.
On the roof of the Sixing Warehouse, the artillery platoon was using mortars to carry out curved fire, and Japanese soldiers flooded in like a bombing tide. On the sandbag bunker a little further ahead, the muzzle of the Maxim heavy machine gun flashed continuously, the chain of bullets rattled forward, and the shell casings flew around and fell to the ground with a clanging sound. On the two wings protruding forward of the wall, grenadiers with strong arms were rounding up the bundled grenades and throwing them out, blowing up the Japanese soldiers below who were trying to climb the wall.
The warhead from the crooked sub-machine gun hit the sandbags piled up on the edge of the roof and chirped. Xie Jinyuan lowered his head to avoid it, and took a few glances with the binoculars, feeling something was wrong.
The Four Lines Warehouse is actually composed of two buildings, one is the Continental Bank warehouse, and the other is the North Sixing Warehouse. The two buildings are very close to each other. After a bridge is built on the roof, they can communicate with each other. Now the Japanese army is attacking the east. The Continental Bank warehouse launched a fierce attack, and the situation in the Beisihang warehouse to the west was better.
Seeing that people kept coming to the North Sixing Warehouse to ask for support and took away a large number of soldiers, Xie Jinyuan ordered Yang Ruifu to lead the people to the second floor where the pressure was the greatest. He trotted all the way to the front position of the North Sixing Warehouse , Looking down with a telescope, my heart skipped a beat.
The Japanese army was really cunning. While continuously investing troops and conveying the illusion to the soldiers of the 524th regiment that the mainland warehouse was the center of gravity of their attack, they secretly invested a squadron of troops on the western front and advanced with excavators equipped with guard plates.
"The enemy's goal is the Western Wall, tell Shangguan Zhibiao to strengthen the firepower of the Western Wall."
July grabbed Xiaohubei's arm and ran towards the stairs. The machine guns from the Type 95 tanks parked in the square in front of the North Gate sent stones flying in the corner of the wall.
The two found Shangguan Zhibiao as quickly as possible, conveyed Xie Jinyuan's order, and followed the flow of people to the west wall of the second floor of the North Sixing Warehouse.
Lei Xiong, who arrived early, was leading his subordinates to smash the wall, but because the wall was too thick, the cutting speed was not fast, and the strafing fire from the north gate was too fierce, and soldiers were often pierced by bullets from the window while walking. , fell to the ground and twitched continuously.
"Company commander, the enemy's tank firepower is too strong."
Because a string of bullets hit the ground ahead with puffing noises, Qiyue dragged Xiaohubei to hide behind the pillars, panting heavily. At this time, there was a bang, and a rifle grenade exploded on the right side of the window, shaking the ground twice.
"This won't work, the weapons and ammunition won't be delivered."
Lei Xiong was in a hurry, because there were six Type 95 tanks parked in front of the North Gate Square. Although the 37MM guns were used with restraint, those vehicle-mounted machine guns put a lot of pressure on the firepower points on the first and second floors of the warehouse. Even if they cut through the western wall, the soldiers of the 524th regiment would not be able to maneuver freely.
At this moment, a few people descended from the stairs leading to the third floor.
"Wang Fu, go and take Qiyue and Xiaohubei to the fifth floor to watch."
A second-class soldier walked over stooping, took Qiyue's arm and ran towards the stairs.
Lei Xiong heard the voice behind him and knew that it was Yang Deyu who had come.
Lian's mission is obviously to guard the third floor, so why come here to join in the fun?
Just as he was about to yell, he saw Yang Deyu take a heavy metal gun from the burly second-class soldier behind him. The plate was fixed, opened the dust cover and inserted a palm-wide magazine, facing the rubble and floating dust in front of it, aimed at a Type 95 tank less than 200 meters away from the window and pulled the trigger.
Boom~
Even the man with the gun was shocked, and the bipod moved back a little visible to the naked eye.
The second after the bullet casing thicker than a thumb was ejected, Yang Deyu pulled the trigger again.
Boom~
Another ball of flames bloomed at the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet went through the window.
Lei Xiong walked quickly to the window and turned his body slightly to look out. The Type 95 tank over there was silent, and the enemy's suppressive firepower was obviously much weaker.
"Where did it come from?"
You must know that their machine gun company has six heavy machine guns, two on the top floor, two on the second floor, and two on the first floor. With this configuration, it is good to snipe the charge of the Japanese infantry, but once you encounter a tank , armored vehicles and other vehicles, then the only thing left is to be crushed. Now, Yang Deyu doesn't know where to get an anti-tank gun?
In order to fight against the armored forces of the Japanese army, the national army imported a batch of old-fashioned M1918s. The number was not large, and they were all equipped with elite troops. Even light vehicles with millimeter armor are helpless, and anti-tank guns are completely reduced to a joke.
What is the origin of this thing in Yang Deyu's hand, two shots paralyzed a Type 95 tank, one word "beautiful" and two words "very awesome".
He didn't know where the thing in Yang Deyu's hand came from, and Yang Deyu himself didn't know, and even the Japanese officers outside didn't necessarily know what it was.
The Type 97 20MM anti-tank gun was not mass-produced until 1938, and it was still in the experimental stage in 1937. Originally, the Japanese army wanted to bring a few anti-tank guns to the front line to test their performance. As a result, they encountered poor people like the national army. There were not many armored vehicles at all. The Songhu battlefield suffered a crushing defeat.
But let the Japanese know that the weapons that were not used on the national army were used against their own Type 95 tanks, and there is still a good effect, and the expression should be very exciting.
Da~
da da da ~
chirp chirp chirp~
The Japanese army hiding in the ruins of the building directly in front of the Sixing Warehouse noticed something suspicious about the window on the west side of the second floor. Behind the sandbags, the Type 92 heavy machine gun sprayed out flames, and the bomb protection board moved up and down. The surging light wave illuminated the machine gunners and The face of the deputy shooter.
Yang Deyu lowered his head, waited for the gunfire to stop, shook his head to shake off the dust from his hair, and took advantage of the gap where the deputy shooter of the 92 heavy machine gun replaced the bullet protection plate, aimed at the opposite firepower point and pulled the trigger.
Boom~
There was a loud bang, the muzzle of the gun burst into flames, and the sandbags used by the Japanese army to resist shooting were directly exploded, and the blood mist visible to the naked eye spread behind.
Lei Xiong shivered. It was indeed an anti-tank gun that could pierce the side armor of a 95 tank. If the national army could equip more of these weapons, it would not be completely defeated by the Japanese armored forces.
At this moment, the machine gun company soldier who saw the excavator was close to the corner threw two grenades, but it was useless at all. The excavator was covered with thick steel plates and iron nets, and the shrapnel were all shot opened.
"Company Commander, the hull armor is too thick, and grenades are useless."
When the soldiers were reporting, Yang Deyu rolled to the side several times in a row, left the shooting point, and kept kneading the painful right shoulder with his left hand. This thing is powerful, but the recoil is also ridiculously strong. It is a bit unbearable after only firing three shots. .
"Zhu Shengzhong, you go."
"Yes." Zhu Shengzhong agreed, and crawled over to take over.
Yang Deyu took Qi Jiaming to the first floor, and Li Xiang, who had removed the fuel tank of the flamethrower, came up to him. Yang Shusheng found a bundle of bamboo boards, and several people went to the window on the west wall.
Qi Jiaming glanced outside, smashed the glass with the gun butt of the flower mechanism, and swept at the Japanese infantry who were in charge of covering behind the excavator. Yang Deyu took the bamboo board and threw it out. Li Xiang followed and threw a grenade .
When I was young, there was a bang, the fire wave rolled, and the hot cloud hit the face, and the faces of several people in the room were shocked.
"Platoon leader, platoon leader..." I heard a hurried shout from the stairs.
Yang Deyu responded, "What's the matter?"
The man said loudly: "Little Japan fired a cannon, and it blasted two big holes in the west wall of the third floor."
Yang Deyu's heart skipped a beat.
Flower traps, anti-tank guns, direct-firing infantry artillery, and what I said to him last night... Could it be that that guy really sneaked into the Japanese camp and eavesdropped on the enemy's battle plan?
"Where's the idiot from the Northeast? Isn't he an artilleryman?"
Yang Shusheng pointed to the top of his head: "He went up to the top floor with Old Abacus and Old Hulu."
While the two were talking, the three people nicknamed "Old" on the rooftop of the Sixing Warehouse were having a chatter around the Taisho 11th-style 37MM direct-firing infantry cannon.
"Aren't you an artilleryman?"
"Yes, I am an artilleryman." Lao Tie said, "But I have never used this kind of artillery."
"Curve-fire guns can be used, but direct-point guns can't be used? You shouldn't follow the troops out of the Northeast without firing a shot, right?"
Facing the questioning from the old abacus, Lao Tie looked as if he had no confidence, because it was true that he, an artilleryman, was driven out of the Northeast by the Japanese army without firing a cannon.
Panting heavily, the old gourd poked his head out and looked down, and was pushed back by the bullets fired by the Japanese army's crooked sub-machine gun in front of him.
"I've never used you to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail." Old Abacus was still complaining about Lao Tie's volunteering.
"The Japanese used it in the Northeast, and I have seen this."
"Is it the same as seeing it before?" Old Abacus really wanted to kick him to death. Is it easy for the three of them to carry such a heavy thing from the third floor to the roof? After all, it was assembled, but it turned out that it couldn't be used there.
Lao Tie stopped talking, he couldn't tell Lao Suan that he lied because he was afraid of being sent to the front line as cannon fodder, and took over the role of artillery... After all, artillery is a relatively safe unit on the battlefield.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Didn't you see the Japanese firing cannons? Hit!"
Yang Deyu walked over with Yang Shusheng, his face was a mixture of smoke and sweat, dark and sticky.
"What? Doesn't work?"
He could see how peaceful these three guys were on the roof. If Lin Yue hadn't specially asked him to take care of these people, they would have kicked them down one by one, so as not to be upset.
"Get out of the way."
Yang Deyu grabbed Lao Tie's collar and pulled it back. After groping for a while, he turned the middle knob of the gun body and pressed it down to -9 degrees.
Boom~
The muzzle fire flashed, and the mortar point in the ruins opposite collapsed, bricks fell like raindrops, and the Japanese infantry below ran away with their heads in their hands.
And Yang Deyu... because he didn't know the power of the 37mm direct-firing gun, he was thrown back by the recoil, and his elbow hit Lao Tie's nose, causing blood to flow in an instant.
At the same time, there was a faint chatter from the crooked machine gun in the ruins of the building in front of the left. Unfortunately, Yang Deyu and the others did not understand Japanese. But no, the Japanese officer replied, "This is an order."
Of course, from the standpoint of Yang Deyu and others, they don't have the energy to listen to the complaints of Japanese soldiers.
The old gourd pointed down and said, "Look quickly, what is that?"
Yang Deyu reluctantly leaned over and looked down. The Japanese soldiers came to the bottom of the west wall with the Coca-Cola posters on the tortoise shell formation made of steel plates. Neither rifle bullets nor grenades could cause substantial damage to the Japanese soldiers in the tortoise shell formation. .
If it's broken, those people are going to blow up the building.
Once the Western Wall collapsed, the Sihang Warehouse would be over.
He glanced at the 37MM direct-firing gun placed on the turret. The tilt angle of this thing was at most -10 degrees. It was okay to hit the hidden Japanese firepower points in the surrounding buildings, but it had no effect on the Japanese soldiers who were digging walls against the tortoise shell array.
what to do? what to do?
At this moment, a loud roar was heard: "Chen Shusheng."
A figure jumped out of the hole blasted by the mortar on the third floor, and plunged directly into the tortoise shell array to the west. A second later, there was a deafening explosion, blood mist dispersed, steel plates flew across, and limbs were broken. The Suzhou Creek was muddied.
Yang Deyu clenched his hands tightly, and the old abacus who was lying on the sandbag slid down, gasping for breath.
"Li Mancang, Tongcheng, Hubei."
When the tortoise shell array closed again, another figure with a bundle of grenades on its shoulders jumped down.
On the north bank of the Suzhou River, the crowd watching on the long embankment stared blankly at the scene ahead. Every time someone jumped off, the women trembled and the men gritted their teeth.
He Xiangning supported the railing with both hands, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Everyone in the country is like this, how dare Japanese pirates..."
On the balcony on the other side, Lu Xiaodie held Gao Min's tightly clenched hand: "Don't worry, he will be fine."
Farther away, Liu Rong put her hands in her trouser pockets and stood among the staggered flower pots. She subconsciously glanced at the river bank, and the knife wrapped in a bandage was rudely squeezed into the crowd.
As the third figure fell, Yang Deyu who was standing on the rooftop slapped himself hard.
"Why didn't I think that he was already prepared."
Leaving behind a sentence that made the old Hulu and the three puzzled, Yang Deyu took Yang Shusheng and ran to the stairs.
"I... what should we do?" Old Abacus huddled behind the sandbag with his hands folded, staring at the rising smoke in the North Square with a confused face.
The old iron looked at the 37MM direct-firing infantry gun placed on the turret, turned over and got up, went over to eject the shell casing, and took out a shell from the ammunition box to fill it in.
Boom~
Boom~
Boom~
Da da da, da da da~
chirp chirp chirp~
On the second floor of the Sixing Warehouse, Duan Wu yelled and was about to rush outside when the sheep crutches stretched out his feet to trip him up, and dragged him behind the cover by pulling the back collar.
The tortoise shell formation on the west wall attracted the attention of the soldiers of the national army, and the suppression of the firepower on the North Square was much weaker. The Japanese landing troops took the opportunity to erect a siege ladder and prepare to land on the second floor.
Yangguai pulled the bloody Dragon Boat Festival back, unable to take care of the north window, and when he realized that a Japanese soldier was climbing up the ladder, it was already too late.
Duan Wu noticed the movement at the north window, and subconsciously raised his gun to aim. Before he could pull the trigger, the fire flashed in front of him, and with a snap, the Japanese soldier was ejected, fell heavily to the ground and died.
Both of them were stunned.
At this time, Yangguai remembered Yang Deyu's words before the start of the war. He reminded them not to touch the wires that sealed the windows, and to hide behind the sandbags as much as possible, because the wires passed through high-voltage electricity that could kill people. It was Lin Yue who ordered the seventh class last night. people do.
呲~
snap~
Another Japanese soldier was ejected and fell to the ground as a smoky corpse.
呲~
snap~
Sounds and flashes come from further afield.
The Japanese soldiers below were stunned. To get in, they had to climb over the gap between the wires, but the thing was powered by high voltage, and they would die if they touched it. Prepare the pliers to cut it, the national army soldiers behind obviously won't give them the chance to do so.
The Japanese soldiers who climbed the ladder were very embarrassed. They didn't go up or down. They didn't know what to do for a while.
Yangguai was speechless, but Duanwu was very happy.
That guy is too insidious! At the beginning, I thought it was used to strengthen the windows, and the iron wires that caused trouble for the Japanese army did not expect to have such a magical effect. The poor Japanese who were electrocuted had to go to Huangquan Road and feel aggrieved.
"People in the third row, some help." Yang Deyu's voice came from the stairs.
Yangguai saw that it was not easy for the Japanese troops to land on the second floor, and he was afraid that the inexperienced Duan Wu would come to the window to eat guns, so he dragged him up to the third floor, and the scene in front of him was a machine gun company squatting at the foot of the west wall. Two columns, each with bundles of grenades draped around their necks.
Qi Jiaming, who was worried about no one to tie the grenade, saw the Dragon Boat Festival coming up, and squatted in front of him: "Come on, tie it up."
Duan Wu gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand, but before he could fasten it, someone slapped his hand away.
"I called you here to help move things, not to help him seek death." Yang Deyu pointed to the oil barrel that Yang Shusheng pushed out from behind.
Duan Wu and Yangguai turned their faces, not knowing what he meant.
"There's no time to explain." Yang Deyu and Yang Shusheng lowered their bodies and pushed the oil barrel in front of the hole blasted by the mortar, and kicked the soldiers of the machine gun company who were about to jump down. Pull off the safety rope, lift up the oil drum one by one and throw it out.
The iron barrel heavier than the human body fell and smashed into the Japanese tortoise shell formation. The Japanese officer who ordered the soldiers to stuff explosives into the wall looked at it and thought, what the hell is this?
Boom~
With a deafening explosion.
The fire wave surged, the tortoise array was completely broken, steel plates and stumps flew into the sky, countless fragments shot out, and the nearby Japanese soldiers who were covering the tortoise array died, their faces were covered with shiny things.
It's glass!
Yang Deyu turned his body slightly to glance at the miserable Japanese soldiers on the ground, and shivered involuntarily.
So vicious, so vicious.
Before Lin Yue found him and asked him to get out the iron barrel containing tung oil, stuff iron pieces, glass slag, explosives, grenades and small cans of tung oil into it, and make a huge iron barrel bomb. His idea at the time was What is the use of this thing? Move to the rooftop and throw it down? The enemy will not gather together to bomb you, it is better to throw a few more grenades. It was not until he saw the tortoise shell formation and the soldiers of the machine gun company who sacrificed himself that he suddenly realized that the iron barrel bomb should be used in this way.
"one two three……"
Over there, Yangguai and Duanwu did the same, throwing the second iron barrel bomb.
Boom~
There was another loud bang, and a wall of the abandoned building on the opposite side collapsed. The Japanese soldiers whose bodies were pierced by glass or iron sheets lay on the ground and howled, and the medical soldiers could not save them.
The people in the machine gun company looked at Yang Deyu with a different look, as if they were saying that you have this thing, why didn't you take it out sooner?
Yang Deyu wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain it. When he was distressed, he suddenly heard a loud bang from the north, shaking the whole warehouse three times.
He ran to the window and looked at the front square, his face changed suddenly.
