The Qing Dynasty

Chapter 219: Fire at the Salt Administration

"Da da da."

"Pap-pap-pap-pap."

When Teng Yuzhao, his special guard squadron and Liu Changfa's four unscrupulous cannons arrived outside the wall of the Salt Administration, the Salt Administration had already been surrounded by the vanguard corps led by Li Xianze's second regiment, with two sentries, and was engaging in a fierce exchange of fire with the Japanese troops inside.

In the moonlight, one could barely see the short corpses lying on the ground outside the gate of the Salt Administration. Judging from their attire and stature, these people who died outside the gate of the Salt Administration were obviously not from the vanguard army, they were all Japanese soldiers.

Because the attack was too fast, the Maxim heavy machine guns of the two sentries were unable to catch up, and the men of the two sentries were overwhelmed by the heavy machine guns deployed by the Japanese army on the roofs of several tall buildings in the Salt Administration.

Seeing Teng Yuzhao and Liu Changfa running over, the commander of the first battalion hurried over to report to Teng Yuzhao.

The captain’s surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Tiefeng.

Captain Zhang did not salute Teng Yuzhao, but began to report the situation to him anxiously.

On the battlefield, no one is allowed to salute their superiors. This is a strict requirement of Teng Yuzhao, in order to prevent the salute from exposing the superior's position and thus being killed by the Allied hunters.

"General, we are chasing them very hard. Eight or nine hundred Japanese devils have sneaked into the Salt Administration. The artillery that cooperates with us is building a firing position. We will launch an attack after the bombardment."

Zhang Tiefeng's confident words made Teng Yuzao smack his lips in amazement.

"You just said that eight or nine hundred Japanese soldiers have sneaked into the Salt Administration. This is probably the Japanese headquarters in the city. There must be several hundred Japanese soldiers inside. If you add them up, there will be more than a thousand. Even if none of your two sentries are missing, there will not be more than 500 people. How dare you rush in!"

Zhang Tiefeng chuckled and said, "General Bing, the Japanese have been scared out of their wits by our unscrupulous cannons, swords, and grenades. My battalion alone has chased more than a thousand Japanese and they are fleeing everywhere. After our unscrupulous cannons have fired fiercely, I will send people to blow up the wall, charge in and just pick off these little dwarfs."

Looking at his subordinate who was full of confidence, and the soldiers around him who were ready to fight, Teng Yuzhao couldn't help but feel heroic.

"Okay! I'll rush in with you guys and kill all the Japanese inside."

After Teng Yuzao finished speaking, he ordered Liu Changfa, "Qingyun, take these four unscrupulous cannons and go over to unify the command of the unscrupulous cannons here. Fire immediately after you are ready. In the first round, each cannon fires three No. 1 shells and try to blow down as many houses as possible. Then each cannon fires two No. 2 shells to give the Japanese inside a taste of their own medicine."

"okay!"

Liu Changfa, who was also infected by Zhang Tiefeng's vigorous passion, even blurted out the colloquialism. After that, he turned around and shouted to the artillerymen of his four conscienceless cannons. Carrying the launching tubes and a dozen tightly bundled shells of the conscienceless cannons, they ran into the darkness under the leadership of Zhang Tiefeng's men.

Although they were a little hurried, the artillery squadron dug their positions quickly as they heard the fierce gunfire and grenade explosions that echoed throughout the south city, as well as the deafening roar of the unscrupulous cannons. Liu Changfa hurried back just five minutes later and reported to Teng Yuzhao, who had retreated to a hundred meters away from the Salt Administration, that the artillery was ready and would open fire on the Japanese troops in the Salt Administration in two minutes.

This time, Teng Yuzao did not take out his G98, but directly pulled out the two Brownings from his waist and began to check the bullets in the magazine. Although every morning after getting up, as long as time permitted, Teng Yuzao would carefully check whether the guns were full of bullets, but before the upcoming battle, he still made a final check of the two pistols.

In his previous life, when Teng Yuzhao’s special forces were training, he once saw that the old team members could accurately judge how many bullets were left in the pistol just by the feel of their hands.

At least Teng Yuzhao does not have such skills for the time being.

"Bang, bang, bang", a series of muffled sounds came from the left rear, and six black, disc-shaped, unscrupulous artillery shells swayed over the ten-foot-high bluestone wall of the Salt Administration and flew into the yard of the Salt Administration, which was constantly firing dense rain of bullets.

The nearby soldiers covered their ears with their hands and opened their mouths slightly.

It goes without saying that you need to plug your ears, and you need to open your mouth to ensure that the internal and external pressures of your eardrums are balanced, so that you won't be hurt by the shock waves from the violent explosion of the conscienceless shells. Before the conscienceless shells had even crossed the tall walls of the Salt Administration, hundreds of people's exclamations and desperate howls could be heard in the yard, but in most cases, human power was still too small.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM" the screams and desperate howls of the Japanese soldiers in the Salt Administration were instantly drowned out without a trace by the continuous and violent explosions.

Although Teng Yuzhao had taken safety precautions, his ears were still buzzing. He looked up and saw six strong flashes of light in succession inside the Salt Administration. Along with the flashes of the explosions, large clouds of smoke and dust immediately rose up inside the Salt Administration. Not only did the houses collapse, but also bricks, rubble, and the broken limbs of Japanese soldiers were blown all over the sky. There were even incomplete bodies of Japanese soldiers torn apart by the strong shock wave generated by the explosion and thrown high out of the yard.

Then, a shock wave as strong as a force twelve gale blew violently over where Teng Yuzhao was standing, almost blowing his wide-brimmed hat off.

Teng Yuzhao hurriedly glanced at the soldiers around him, and saw that all the vanguard officers and soldiers within his sight were hiding in the doorways, or standing under the eaves and walls on the side facing away from the Salt Administration, with their backs pressed tightly against the wall and their hands tightly protecting their heads.

Before he could take a closer look, Teng Yuzao had already been dragged into a doorway a few steps away by Xu Ting and Wu Peifu, each holding one of his arms.

With a series of chaotic "crackling, ding-dong, and snapping" sounds, flying bricks, tiles, rubble, and the broken limbs of Japanese soldiers fell from the sky.

Although the danger in the air had been eliminated, none of the vanguard officers and soldiers around the Salt Administration left their hiding places. They had all been warned by their superiors that there would be three rounds of such explosions, and then two more rounds of special and heartless bombs that would cause fire.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM."

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM."

Two more rounds of violent explosions occurred in the courtyard of the Salt Administration, which had already collapsed and was in ruins. Then, two more rounds of special mid-air explosions rang out, illuminating the entire alley where Teng Yuzao was. Only then did the brave soldiers poke their heads out from their hiding places.

Teng Yuzhao, Liu Changfa and others, who were eager to check the results of the shelling, also came out of their hiding places and looked towards the Salt Administration.

At this time, the tall buildings in the Salt Administration had completely disappeared. All the flammable items in the yard had been burned after being hit by twelve special bullets. The Salt Administration was already ablaze, mixed with hundreds of desperate howls.

Not only were the two heavy and solid doors of the Salt Administration blown far away and caught fire, but some houses near the Salt Administration in the alley where they were were also affected by the special bullets, and scarlet flames were shooting out of the doors and windows of many courtyards.

The scene before them made Teng Yuzhao and Liu Changfa a little stunned, especially Liu Changfa. Although he had already seen the power of the Unscrupulous Cannon, it was the first time that so many Unscrupulous Cannon shells were thrown at a fixed area like the Salt Administration at one time.

Liu Changfa couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Even if we roast them, we'll roast the Japanese to death."

Teng Yuzao was a little dazed because he felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing this time.

Without waiting for Teng Yuzao's orders, Zhang Tiefeng swung the Mauser pistol in his hand and said, "Brothers, follow me and kill all the Japanese devils!"

"kill!"

The soldiers shouted and followed Zhang Tiefeng through the open gate into the Salt Administration, which was engulfed in flames.

Teng Yuzao sighed and said to Xu Ting, "Why are you still standing there? You should also take the special guard squadron in. If it's too late, you won't be able to see a single living Japanese soldier."
