Chapter 749 Lin's Bridge Crossing Method

On the surface of Suzhou Creek, the boats docked on the south bank are moving forward little by little.

Just now I saw the boatman strutting on the pole, thinking it was to prepare for the start of the battle, to catch the floating corpses in the river, rubbish and so on, but in a blink of an eye, there were no people, and the boat was still moving forward. The key is not a boat. , it is like this for several boats, and they all have sheds.

"Quick, tell someone to fire flares."

Following the corporal's shout, there was a long chirp, and a flare was lifted into the sky, illuminating the Suzhou Creek.

"Iron chains, iron chains!"

It turned out that at some point, the ships moored on the south bank were pierced by a chain. As the chain continued to move northward, the ships that were originally lying on the river were forced to move. When they lined up in the middle, the two opposite sides A man in blue tied the chain to the bollard.

What is this for?

As if to answer the question in the mind of the Japanese snipers, a bamboo raft made of bamboo boards was rowed from the north bank to the south bank of the Suzhou River.

There is another bamboo raft behind the bamboo raft.

Behind the second bamboo raft is the raft made by splitting the ammunition box.

"It's Chinese soldiers, they're going to run, fire, fire."

Accompanied by the shouts of Japanese snipers, Japanese soldiers with 38-type rifles and crooked machine guns began to shoot.

However, due to the angle problem, the bamboo and wooden rafts are located behind the ship’s barrier, showing less than half the width of the body. Even with the help of flares, they cannot see the position of the personnel. All they can do is chase after the bamboo or wooden rafts and shoot.

But... more than 90% of the bullets were blocked by the boats across the Suzhou Creek, and they couldn't hit the soldiers of the national army lying on the bamboo and wooden rafts.

The Japanese snipers recalled the actions of the boatmen earlier. Some carried wood into the bed cabin, and some carried quilts. It is used to strengthen the hull and bulletproof.

There are sundries on the surface of the water, covered by sheds, it is difficult for bullets to hit people behind, and the river water will weaken the speed of bullets, making it impossible to penetrate the hull. Taking a step back, even if a hole can be drilled in the bottom of the boat, the speed of water ingress will not be fast, and there are chains running through the river to support it, so it will not sink at all.

It was snowing outside and the temperature was very low, so no one could be sent to work in the water. The warships from Britain, the United States, France and other countries blocked the Suzhou River section of the concession. The warships could not enter, and they could not fire artillery. The Japanese soldiers on the east tower were completely gone. Tempered, watched two bamboo rafts and one wooden raft arrive at the south bank, and nearly 30 people were transferred away at one time.

In the underground waterway of the Sixing Warehouse, the long raft made of the shell of the ammunition box was full of people from the 524th Regiment.

Xie Jinyuan didn't know what to say anymore. The Japanese army occupied the ruins of the Bank of China warehouse and set up several heavy machine gun firepower points facing the rubbish bridge. If they forced their way through, at least 100 of the 400-man team would be left behind. But now?

The Japanese never thought that they would take the water route. A crooked machine gun was deployed on the east tower, and they had to pass through the river of about 20 meters under the protection of the ship bunker. People, all soldiers can be evacuated in less than ten minutes.

After the first batch of soldiers went ashore, the men of the machine gun company quickly pulled the ropes to pull the bamboo and wooden rafts back, and the second batch of soldiers began to board the rafts.

Xie Jinyuan looked back at the iron chains tied to the stone pillars on both sides, then looked at the more than 30 soldiers transported from the pool in the hall on the first floor, looked behind him and shouted loudly: "Tell Shangguan Zhibiao to start Plan B."

Will Lin Yue put all his eggs in one basket?

Obviously not.

When Jin Weixun received a report from the east tower, knowing that Chinese soldiers had built a floating boat barrier in the middle of the river, and was a little at a loss, people began to gather at the north gate on the first floor of the warehouse of the Continental Bank. The soldiers moved forward slowly, leading the dozen or so soldiers hiding behind them towards the garbage bridge.

Jingle.

Dang ding ding.

The bullets from the firepower point of the ruins of the Bank of China warehouse hit the steel plate with sparks, but at most the steel plate vibrated a few times, and the queue stopped slightly, which could not pose a life-threatening threat to the people behind.

Before the searchlight was blown up by snipers, Jin Weixun observed a detail with a telescope. The steel plates used by Chinese soldiers looked familiar. Frowning and thinking for a while, he realized, no wonder those steel plates looked familiar, because it was the tortoise shell array used when attacking the Sixing Warehouse to blow up the western wall, those steel plates could even defend against grenades, let alone The machine gun fired.

The guy he sent to blow up the wall turned out to be the enemy's life-saving weapon. With his current mood, if he could find a word to describe it, it must be "super annoyed".

"Order the troops to penetrate the two wings and surround them for me."

"yes."

The herald agreed, and quickly walked down the newly made wooden ladder to convey Jin Weixun's order to the frontline troops.

Two days ago, he did not dare to issue this order, because there was no bunker protection from the Sixing Warehouse to the open space in front of the Suzhou Creek, and the 800 people inside were enough to make the Japanese troops who were divided into pincers stumble. Now it is different, retreat It has already started, and only by doing so can we interrupt the evacuation of the national army by means of water transportation and tortoise shell array, and now the enemy has retreated 300 people, and the remaining people are some in the waterway, and some are on the first floor of the mainland bank warehouse. weaken.

If the enemy focuses their attack on the south, then the three teams in the north square can almost finish the defense of the front door in one charge. If the enemy focuses their attack on the north, the soldiers who go around to the open space between the river bank and the four-row warehouse can pass through the rear window. Break into the main building.

In short... put the national army soldiers in the Sixing Warehouse first.

Jin Weixun's adaptability is good, and he is also ruthless enough, because in order to detour from the east and west sides, he must go through the minefields of the Dodo chariot and the Type 95 tank.

If it is a soldier from a Western country, he will definitely have the idea of ​​​​retiring, but they are different.

Soon, the Japanese army launched a long live charge, and about two squads of soldiers divided into left and right groups to outflank the rear of the Sixing Warehouse.

As Jin Weixun expected, the three squads in the North Gate Square put heavy pressure on the personnel behind the break. The soldiers of the two left and right squads basically did not encounter snipers from the rooftops, but detonated landmines during the charge, killing more than a dozen soldiers. One person, and the rest of them stepped on the corpse of their companions and rushed over to the corner of the wall.

The team on the east side did not immediately snipe the national army soldiers in the waterway, because they would be exposed to the machine gun fire from the third and fourth floors. They walked west along the base of the wall, preparing to throw grenades into the windows to test for an ambush.

At this moment, the leading corporal noticed something was wrong, something seemed to have fallen from it.

He looked up, it wasn't snow, it seemed to be rain.

But the rain was heavy and it didn't smell right.

He noticed it, and the people behind him noticed it, and as another flare went up, the leading corporal noticed something hanging from the third-floor window.

That's...the shower?

This thought flashed in my mind for an instant, a stream of fire flew out of the window on the third floor, fell to the ground and shattered, the flame exploded with a bang, and spread rapidly towards the surroundings.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers at the base of the wall knew what was pouring from their heads.

It's gasoline!

However, it was too late.

The head corporal instantly turned into a burning man, and when he was struggling, he ignited the second, and the third...

When more Molotov cocktails fell from the third floor, dozens of Japanese soldiers on the east wall fell into a sea of ​​flames.

The snipers and machine gunners on the tower in the distance looked at the scene in front of them, and their faces turned pale when they heard the mournful howls of their companions, and the hands holding the guns trembled.

It's too awful.

In fact, not only the Japanese army team on the east side fell into the flames, but the Japanese army team at the base of the west wall was also driven away by the Molotov cocktails dropped from the roof.

The Tortoise Array still transferred the soldiers of the national army in an orderly manner, but this time the armored vehicle did not carry people there, but turned into a harvester. The three machine guns on the top and two wings smashed the Japanese soldiers who ran out from behind the broken tank into sieves. .

Jian Weixun, who saw the scene ahead with a telescope, was so angry that he couldn't say a word. In the past, the national army's equipment was backward and lacked weapons to restrain armored units. Facing armored vehicles such as bean chariots and Type 95 tanks The life of being slaughtered, now the situation is reversed, heavy artillery cannot be used, and in the absence of air support, the man who was beaten by the armored vehicle controlled by the national army couldn't lift his head, while facing the Molotov cocktail falling from the roof of the mainland bank warehouse Threat, while bearing the firepower of the three machine guns at the garbage bridge, the soldiers were killed or wounded.

The two teams, more than a hundred people did nothing, and 80% of them were killed.

too irritating.

At this moment, the adjutant reported good news to him—the square in front of the north gate of the Sixing Warehouse was taken down, and half a team of soldiers rushed in.
