Chapter 035 The Devil Is Here
In the eyes of the eighth battalion commander, Hu Yizhou was full of mystery and confidence. He seemed to have an idea for everything and nothing could trouble him.
In the eyes of the Eighth Battalion soldiers, Hu Yizhou was a good commander who was resourceful and specialized in winning battles! He was also a very capable commander! Looking at the bombed corpses of the Japanese, they felt that Hu Yizhou was another murderer and cannibal.
A devil-level figure who does not use salt.
In the eyes of Fang Hao, Zhang Ze and others, Hu Yizhou is an omnipotent person! He is a mythical figure!
But now, these two people have refreshed their understanding of Hu Yizhou!
It turns out that Chief Hu is also a human being, and there are things he cannot do and things he cannot play with!
"You two watch! That willow tree by the moat is 150 meters away from here. Watch me blow up in front of it with a cannon!" Hu Yizhou said confidently.
"Boom...chirp...boom..."
"Okay! I admit it's a little further this time, isn't it just fifty meters away? I'll adjust it soon! Change the place and try again!"
"Boom... clatter..."
"Well, it's a little closer, but it doesn't matter. I want to see if there are any fish in the water? Let's grill the fish later! Change the place and try again!"
"Tum..."
"Did you see it? It hit the willow tree! It's done in three shots!"
"Sir, you blew up another willow tree!"
"Really? I've determined the ruler! Look, this is the ruler for launching Type 10 grenades! It's the melon grenade we captured! But if you want to launch this, you need to add a launcher! Now it's a special grenade.
, you have to look at this ruler! Let’s do it again!”
"Boom...chirp...boom..."
"I'll just say it's very simple! Well, my hand shook a little, and it was five meters away from the impact point! Not bad, not bad!" Hu Yizhou tried three rounds of grenades and mastered the firing rules of the grenade.
"Come here and learn! There is a blister here. Watch it carefully. It must be at this position, so it is 45 degrees horizontally! How to determine the range and angle?"
"Did you see this line on the barrel? Use it to aim at the target! Place the grenade and turn this adjuster to determine the distance! Look at this scale for grenades, and look at this scale for hand grenades!"
"Measure the distance, aim at the target, adjust the ruler, pull the primer, and activate the primer! Don't shake your hands!"
In a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, Hu Yizhou started the learning process with a Japanese grenade. He learned it himself and taught it to Fang Hao and Zhang Ze.
"The grenade is good! If you learn how to use the grenade, we can have more firepower! Moreover, the grenade is concealed and only of such a long length. It can only be fired when you are lying on your stomach. It is uncomfortable to squat! So, both of you can try it.
Just a moment! We have seized enough this time!"
After Hu Yizhou finished explaining, he asked Fang Hao and Zhang Ze to practice with a grenade each. He also tried a few rounds himself. When the twenty-four rounds of grenades he brought were gone, Hu Yizhou was able to drive the grenade into the target within one meter.
It's inside. As for Fang Hao and Zhang Ze, they can also make the shells fall within five or six meters of the target.
At this time, Fang Hao and Zhang Ze pulled up Hu Yizhou's image again. It turns out that using a grenade is so difficult!
In fact, the key here is that distance measurement is not easy! Hu Yizhou can accurately measure the distance using the thumb distance measurement method because he has specially studied and trained it! But Fang Hao and Zhang Ze are not good at it, and they still lack practice!
"Okay, don't waste ammunition here! Let's go to the city gate! Fang Hao, you two go bring some grenades up! I'll wait for you at the city gate!"
"Yes, sir!" The two of them turned and ran away.
"Forget it, no need!" Hu Yizhou shouted to the two people who turned around.
Looking at the confused eyes of the two people, Hu Yizhou said: "Our good days are over, the Japanese have attacked! Now, I will take the grenades back to the bell tower. Fang Hao, you and Zhang Ze will take all the grenades to Chunsheng."
Over there at the grocery store! Zhang Ze, you and Master Xu’s little girl are guarding there! Fang Hao takes eight grenades and returns to the bell tower!”
"yes!"
After giving the order, the three people directly got off the city wall and ran towards the inside of the city.
And in the distant wilderness, smoke and dust were already billowing!
Six Japanese tanks, escorted by two unsatisfied squadrons, roared towards the city gate. At this time, the stone bridge of the moat had been reinforced by Japanese engineers so that tanks could pass through.
"Your Excellency, Captain, do we have artillery support?" Nagao Kaneda asked, looking at Takamori Takashi who had followed him to the outer position.
"Kaneda-kun, you have to know that the Empire's artillery shells are very precious! We brought the artillery shells across the ocean, we can't waste them all in the small Baoshan City! Besides, I don't want to face those pigs in the Navy again.
Ridiculed!"
"So, you have no naval gun support, only the support of all the artillery belonging to the regiment! However, your unit must capture Baoshan!" Takamori Takashi said.
"Hai! Our unit must take Baoshan!" Kaneda Nagao bowed and arrived at his headquarters.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom, boom, boom..."
The Japanese attack began under the bombardment of two infantry guns and four Type 41 mountain guns.
At this time, Hu Yizhou and Fang Hao, who was carrying a pack of grenades, had returned to the bell tower in the city, but they did not go upstairs. Looking at the shells falling into the city from time to time, Hu Yizhou thought it would be better to hide first.
Chunsheng Grocery Store is very close to Dongmen Street. The grocery store has a flat roof, which is the next location selected by Hu Yizhou to block the Japanese. At this time, veteran Zhang Ze took Master Xu and Xiao Mozi to occupy the yard, and also
Guarding more than 30 grenades.
In the house to the east of the north side of the bell tower, Sun Dali and Sun Xiaobao appeared here again. The difference is that this time there is an additional veteran Du Wei.
This is the position of everyone in Hu Yizhou's artillery team, plus the blind man guarding the detonator in the dilapidated house at the corner of the street, there are exactly ten people.
At the city gate, on the inside of the city wall about fifty meters away from the city gate hole, Shui Gen and Cang Sheng, veterans of the company, were hiding in a pile of rotten wood. With the help of the city wall, the cannonballs could not hit them. But they were extremely nervous in their hearts.
.
"Cang Sheng, the company commander said six tanks, right?" Shui Gen asked nervously.
"That's right, there are six of them, I really remember them!" Cang Sheng poked his head out from where he was hiding and saw the diagonally opposite city gate hole.
"The sixth one will explode as soon as it enters the city gate, right?"
"That's right! Just ring the phone when the time comes!"
"Cangsheng, please be careful and don't count!"
"Don't worry Shuigen, trust my eyes!"
"That's good, that's good!"
These two people are the two veterans left behind by the first company commander to detonate the explosives at the city gate. This task is very dangerous, but it is also very safe! As long as the two of them are not discovered by the Japanese!
