Ground crossbow, a kind of bow that shoots with mechanical power, is named because it is set on the ground to shoot at the target.
The method of using the ground crossbow is to tie a line to the special crossbow buckle, pull the line to a place on the road in the direction of the prey or the enemy, and then pull the crossbow open and load the arrow. When a person or animal touches it,
When the arrow reaches the line, the loaded arrow on the crossbow is shot out, hitting a person or animal.
General ground crossbows can only be loaded with one arrow, which makes the ground crossbow's attack power limited. Moreover, once the ground crossbow is fired, the remaining crossbows become scraps unless the crossbow is reloaded.
.
However, the ground crossbows used by the Longya Special Warfare Brigade are not ordinary ground crossbows. They are improved and processed on the basis of the Zhuge Liannu, thus becoming a brand new ambush weapon.
This kind of ground crossbow is loaded with a total of 20 crossbow arrows, each one foot and two inches long, said to be distributed in a radial pattern. Once fired, the penetrating power is amazing.
Zheng Xiao once conducted a test with a Japanese steel helmet, and the results proved that within thirty steps, this kind of crossbow could easily penetrate the Japanese steel helmet, and it could also shoot through the three-finger-thick wooden board inside, which was really shocking.
It has to be said that Zhuge Yun of the Zhuge family is really a talent. He transplanted the principles of Zhuge's crossbow to the ground crossbow, making the ground crossbow a special warfare weapon that is completely different from land mines.
Landmines have always been famous for their terrifying lethality, but they also have shortcomings such as being too loud and easily attracting the enemy's attention, and being too large and difficult to carry, which makes them difficult to be used by special forces as a standard weapon.
The ground crossbow is different. Its size is slim and its weight is very light. A special operations team member can easily carry three ground crossbows and twelve crossbow boxes. There are a total of 240 crossbow arrows in the box, which is enough for a medium-sized battle.
An ambush is needed.
It is precisely because of the characteristics of the ground crossbow that Zheng Xiao asked the special forces members to use it as standard equipment.
The Japanese suddenly attacked, but Zheng Xiao and the others discovered it in advance, which allowed them to prepare in advance, so under his consideration, he placed the crossbows at the entrances of the three villages.
The only village entrance that did not have ground crossbows was deployed. The reason was that Zheng Xiao wanted to test the opponent's combat effectiveness, so he asked the special forces to have a try. This direction also served as a breakthrough point when necessary.
The Japs came at least three squadrons this time. With so many troops, Zheng Xiao and Luo Feng's men combined couldn't resist them. Moreover, Zheng Xiao felt that there was no need to go head-to-head with the Japs. They could do it without any losses.
Protrude.
For these reasons, twelve ground crossbows were placed in the ruins at the entrance of the three villages, and crossbow arrows were also installed in the ground crossbows. The sharp arrows were aimed at the direction of the Japanese's advance.
The Japs only need to advance another ten meters or so before they step into the ambush area of the ground crossbow. Then it will be time for them to suffer.
However, the surprise attack by Zhuge Hong and Zhuge Shan alarmed the Japanese, and also caused the Japanese from the other three directions to slow down their attack speed, and for a while they began to hesitate in front of the ground crossbows.
However, Zheng Xiao was not in a hurry, because he knew that these Japs would not stay here for a long time, and they would eventually attack.
The people who were surrounded in the village were the underground guns\u2014\u2014, the murderers who killed the commander's brother-in-law and his son, a man worth five hundred yuan.
What's more, even if they don't care about the five hundred yuan, how can they miss such an opportunity to please the commander, so all the Japanese officers are holding back their energy and want to capture the ground cannon as soon as possible.
As for the caravan in the village, it was not in their sight at all. They felt that it could be easily solved by then, and maybe they could add some income.
Therefore, after a moment's pause, the Japs' troops began to move. Except for the direction where they were attacked, the Japs from the other three directions all carefully moved toward the entrance of the village.
Although they knew that such actions were meaningless now, they still held on to a little illusion, that is, the ground cannon was now focused on other directions and did not notice the changes in this direction.
Moving forward, the Japs gradually approached the entrance of the village. The village was still silent, not a single human voice could be heard, and not a single figure could be seen. There seemed to be nothing unusual at all.
At this time, the gunfire was still ringing in the direction where the gunfire had just been fired, and it seemed to be very intense. It was probably an exchange of fire.
Good opportunity, this is a good opportunity, rush in. The three Japanese commanders were elated. They all felt that they were really lucky, and they were ignored by the ground cannon.
Feeling happy, the three Japanese commanders urged their soldiers to speed up and rush into the village before the other party found out.
Soon, the Japanese soldiers rushed to the ruins at the entrance of the village and rushed in. These ruins were very low. Although there were some weeds growing there, it was impossible to hide people at a glance, so the Japanese soldiers did not take them seriously.
I just wanted to rush in as soon as possible.
The Japanese soldiers at the front were about to pass through the end of the ruins, while the Japanese soldiers behind had already reached the middle of the ruins. In just one minute, they could cross the ruins and rush into the village.
But at this moment, the Japanese soldier at the front felt that his foot was tripped by something, and he couldn't help but staggered. He hurriedly looked down and found a thin silk thread lying across the front of his foot. If he had not tripped, he would not have noticed it at all.
.
Before he could figure out what was going on, a sharp scream suddenly sounded in his ears. Although the sound was very low, it made his hair stand up.
The next moment, before he could react, a row of crossbow arrows roared out from the grass in front of his feet and flew towards him and the other Japanese soldiers around him at an alarming speed.
At the same time, other ground crossbows were also activated, and the radial launch tubes of each ground crossbow sprayed out life-threatening crossbow arrows, flying towards the panicked Japanese soldiers.
Unprepared, the Japanese soldiers were unlucky. Crossbow arrows easily penetrated their military uniforms and pierced their bodies. Then, through their bodies, arrows emerged from the other side.
Even if it was shot on the helmet, the result would be the same. The already very thin aluminum helmet could not block the shots of these iron chopsticks. Holes the size of fingers appeared on the helmet and flowed out of the helmet.
In addition to the bright red blood, there was also white brain matter.
Twelve ground crossbows were arranged at the entrance of the village. There were four at each village entrance. These four ground crossbows contained eighty crossbow arrows. They weaved a big net of death in the village, killing at least a dozen people.
Japanese soldiers surrounded it.
Many Japanese soldiers were hit by not one arrow, but three or four at least, and even more than ten, and their bodies were pierced like sieves.
The two most unlucky Japanese soldiers were only hit by a crossbow arrow, but it was shot right in the head. They were fatally shot.
Seeing that their companions in front fell silently, the Japanese behind were frightened. They immediately retreated several meters away, and no one dared to attack forward easily.
The Japanese are a very superstitious country. They always maintain fear and awe for some unknown things, so this abnormal phenomenon makes them very uneasy, and no one is willing to move forward.
