Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 379 Strong Wind ()

In the culvert under the railway.

There was no need to wait for the sentry who went to investigate the situation outside to report back. Lu Feng and the others heard the intensive explosions outside.

Suddenly, Lu Feng in the carriage felt a little relieved.

It seems that what Zhou Weiguo said is really right, these little devils are indeed very tough.

After about three minutes, the sentry sent out by the west to check the situation returned to Lu Feng's side.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, I found that before the Japanese artillery attack, all the little Japs on the fortification positions outside retreated into the bunker."

"Retracted?"

Lu Feng thought for a while and asked:

"Isn't the artillery fire from the Japanese bombardment outside so powerful?"

"Yes, although the shells are very dense, judging from the explosion points, the power is not as powerful as the round we just had."

Without him, it's just because his father is Major General Xiaolin of the Sixth Division.

The sentry named Chen Si ran to Lu Feng, held on to the side of the truck and breathed a sigh of relief, and then said carefully:

"Xiao Lin-kun is right."

"How far away are we?"

When the raindrops hit the smooth bright white incision of the hole, wisps of blue smoke rose up.

"Your Majesty Colonel, you have to trust General Hase's judgment."

Colonel Hirano echoed, and after satisfying the young man's vanity, he stopped talking and focused his attention on the road ahead.

This special situation immediately attracted Lu Feng's attention, and he asked the sentry:

Everything was according to Colonel Hirano's plan.

"Stop first."

After Inoue Narumi's plan was approved, Major General Ouchikawa at the Naval Command immediately prepared for the search, encirclement and annihilation work after the bombardment.

"Boom boom boom"

As for why a lieutenant, Kobayashi Rukawa, dared to make a request to Colonel Hirano?

His eyes were attracted by the sudden hole in front of him. Through this perfectly circular hole, he could clearly see the raindrops falling outside.

"Report to the battalion commander. There are five vehicles in total. They are all armored vehicles with machine guns on them. There is also a group of Japanese soldiers behind them. There are about a hundred or so people in total."

"Zhang Wenbai, will you really be there?"

"Yes."

Taking into account the fact that the enemy had anti-aircraft artillery, Major General Ouchikawa specially arranged for five armored vehicles to come over to better cover the actions of the Marines in the bombing area.

If Zhang Wenbai, the current commander of the national army, could be killed or even captured in one fell swoop, it would be a well-deserved victory in this war.

Nonsense, that's something from the Army Red Deer, how can they use it in the Navy?
The important task of commanding this operation was handed over to Colonel Hirano by Major General Ouchikawa.

However, after receiving this mission, Colonel Hirano was not very excited, and he even had some doubts.

"H-Sir Hirano, you...you you"

In fact, Colonel Hirano could see that Major General Ouchikawa actually wanted to personally direct this search, encirclement and annihilation mission. After all, this was an extremely rare opportunity.

After hearing the sentry's answer, Lu Feng thought that was indeed the case. When the cannon sounded just now, Lu Feng felt that it was not powerful enough. He thought it was because he was hiding in an underground bunker.

"Chen Si, tell me slowly, what kind of car is coming? How many are there?"

After hearing what Colonel Hirano said, a young-looking Japanese lieutenant next to him said:

"There's still about a kilometer left. They're not driving very fast. It will take about five or six minutes for them to arrive."

In the enclosed Vickers Krustin M-25 armored vehicle, Colonel Hirano looked through the narrow observation port at the area in the distance that was being plowed by artillery fire.

"Drive forward, let's ambush these devils."

Seeing that the railway had appeared in his field of vision, the past duct was already in front of him, and the sound of the bombing on the opposite side had completely subsided, Colonel Hirano felt an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart.

Listening to the constant sound of gunfire in his ears, Lu Feng quickly made a decision:

The sudden sound of artillery interrupted Hirano Colonel's words.

So much so that after hearing that Zhang Wenbai's command center might be in this area, he expressed his hope to participate in Colonel Hirano's operations.

Further ahead is a culvert. After passing through the culvert, they can reach the opposite side of the railway. Calculating the time, the bombardment stopped at about that time.

Hirano Colonel looked at him. This guy named Kobayashi Rukawa was the liaison officer sent by the newly established intelligence department "Iwai Mansion". Compared with the personnel of the intelligence agencies he had previously contacted, the people at Iwai Mansion were obviously much more fanatical. , their desire for military success is also extremely strong.

"report!"

At this moment, the sentry east of the culvert entrance ran over quickly, shouting loudly as he ran:
"Battal Commander, there's a situation here. The kid has a convoy coming towards us."

However, because he had to sit at the naval headquarters and coordinate the command between the fleet and the marines, Rear Admiral Ouchikawa finally reluctantly handed over the task to Colonel Hirano.

A telegram came over, and Hide Iwai toasted himself with a glass of wine again and again. Colonel Hirano naturally had to take good care of Kobayashi Rukawa.

As for why not arrange tanks with stronger protection capabilities?

Next to him, Kobayashi Rukawa pointed at Colonel Hirano and stammered, unable to say a word for a long time.

Colonel Hirano followed Kobayashi Rukawa's fingers and looked down at his chest.

There, there was a hole about the same size as the hole in front of him, and blood was gurgling out, staining the clothes on his chest red.

"Damn it, the protection of this armored vehicle is really bad!"

Hirano Dazuo murmured, and then his body fell down weakly. After he fell, he could clearly see a hole of similar size on the seat behind him, which penetrated to the rear half of the armored vehicle.

This 20mm machine gun shell penetrated the armored vehicle and the people together.

"what!"

Kobayashi Rukawa panicked and wanted to run out of the armored vehicle. The death of Colonel Hirano made him no longer have any expectations for the armored vehicle's protective capabilities.

All he could think about now was to escape from this place quickly.

However, when he hurriedly opened the door of the armored vehicle and ran out, the sight in front of him completely stunned him.

Without the barrier of the iron sheet, the sound of gunfire outside rushed into Xiaolin Ruchuan's ears crazily. Wherever he looked, he saw stumps and broken arms that had been shattered by gunfire. There was a piece of corpse lying on the ground. Another pile of dead Marines.

Moreover, the number of corpses is still increasing rapidly.

In the panic of the battle, no one took care of the general's heirs. Everyone was trying their best to survive as long as possible for themselves.

It's just that when Lu Feng and the others chose the ambush site, they specifically chose this open area with no building cover, so the only bunkers the remaining Japanese Marines could rely on were the five armored vehicles and the bodies of their teammates. That’s all.

The protective capabilities of these things can be seen from the fate of Colonel Hirano at the beginning.

Seeing that all of them were about to be wiped out here, a Marine liaison officer finally contacted the Navy headquarters through the radio device in the armored vehicle before he died.

"Report, we were ambushed by the national army in the Jiangpu Road culvert. The opponent's firepower was fierce, and there were machine guns, which were suspected to be the search targets this time. We have suffered heavy losses so far, and the entire army may be annihilated at any time.

I beg the fleet to launch an artillery bombardment at our location and let these people bury us! Long live the Japanese Empire! Long Live His Majesty the Emperor! "

"Nani?"

The radio message reached Rear Admiral Ouchikawa of the Naval Command and Hase Aokawa of the "Izumo" almost simultaneously.

Hase Qingchuan glanced at the location of the Jiangpu Road culvert on the map and said with some surprise:
"They moved really fast. If Ouchikawa-kun hadn't arranged for people to go there in advance this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't have run away again."

In Hase Aokawa's view, this was clearly a collision between Hirano and the others and the relocating "Zhang Wenbai Command", and they had an encounter.

"Urgent order, the main artillery fire immediately on the Jiangpu Road culvert area!"

Hase Aokawa shouted directly through the copper speaker to the main gun console.

After the fire attack just now, the barrels of the secondary guns, rapid-fire guns, etc. were already a little overheated and needed to cool down for a while.

Hase Qingchuan didn't want to wait, he had to seize this rare opportunity so that he could prove that his judgment was correct.

So he decided to use the battleship's main gun. As for collateral damage, he no longer cared about it.

Anyway, the liaison officer over there has also taken the initiative to apply for the bombardment. Even if he says it, Hase Qingchuan will not take any responsibility.

Maybe, I can publicize the deeds of Cheng Cheng, a warrior of the Japanese Empire, and gain more public opinion capital for myself in the country.

Following Hase Aokawa's order, the main gun of the "Izumo" began to quickly adjust its position and prepare to fire.

However, the operator of the main gun found that he had unexpected difficulty in adjusting the sight.

There seems to be something wrong.

"What are you doing? Why don't you fire quickly?"

Hase Aokawa's voice of accountability came from the loudspeaker in the main gun operation room.

"Boom"

After a slight noise, the operator's sight seemed to return to normal. He quickly adjusted the position parameters and pointed the muzzle in the direction of the Jiangpu Road culvert.

"Aim completed!"

"Ready to fire!"

"fire!"

"boom"

After the loud noise, three more than 200 mm artillery shells roared away to the west.

"Two more rounds, keep going!"

Hase Qingchuan shouted excitedly.

As we all know, the formula for calculating the circumference of a circle = circle diameter times pi.

It can be seen that on a circular boundary with a radius of one meter, the deviation of one degree is approximately 1.7 centimeters. If this ratio is enlarged to one hundred meters, the deviation is 1.7 meters, and if it is one kilometer, it is 17 meters.

At this moment, the straight-line distance between the "Izumo" and Lu Feng was more than ten kilometers away.

A degree of deviation on the sight would be nearly two hundred meters on Lu Feng's side.

At this time, the sight deviation of the "Izumo"'s main gun caused by shrapnel jamming was far more than just one or two degrees.

The final result of this was that three artillery shells that were supposed to hit the Jiangpu Road culvert flew directly over the Hongqiao entrance, over the Suzhou River, and landed in the southern area of ​​the public concession.

Directly in front of the International Hotel.

"Boom boom boom"

Seeing the three large-caliber artillery shells exploding not far away in front of everyone, and feeling the terrifying earthquake that shook the earth, the military observers from various countries who had originally looked calm and indifferent stayed at the scene.

Now, I can't be happy anymore.

"This is a mistake, a misunderstanding, a mistake."

The Japanese representative jumped out of the corner almost immediately and tried to defend the shelling.

"Boom boom boom"

There was another round of earth-shattering explosions, which blasted the already pale face of the Japanese representative until there was no trace of blood left.
