After the President of the Republic of China Wang Yuanyue visited the UK and issued a tough declaration, the offensive against the UK intensified in vain. Novel
A large number of Sino-German allied forces poured into Britain and launched the most ferocious attacks on various battlefields in Britain.
February 26, 1944, Southampton, England.
The howitzers finally waited for the opportunity to fire. After loading the shells, pulling the gun bolt, and retreating to hide, the eight howitzers completed the first round of shooting almost simultaneously. However, the six shells fired only hit the wall of the strong fortress defended by the British on the opposite side.
There were larger white spots on the fort, but the wall that was hit by the shells still remained the same, standing on the edge of the fort.
When the howitzers fired, the British in the fort were frightened when they heard the roar. They fell into a mess, yelling and fled deeper inside. After the sound of the cannon, they found that the wall only trembled for a while and did not fall down.
Still functioning as a barrier.
At this time, all the British were happy. They realized that this was a near-miss bombardment. The attacking attackers had no way to defeat them because they could not penetrate the fort. So the British came out with all their strength.
, a smile broke out on his mournful face, howling, he ran back to the firing hole, roaring arrogantly, and firing unscrupulously at the artillerymen who were preparing to fire for the second time.
This time, the British in the fort changed their tactics. They aimed their anti-aircraft machine guns and several heavy machine guns directly at the howitzer group. The other two machine guns they drew out were used to suppress the grass to prevent the Chinese from firing cold shots again.
The British anti-aircraft machine guns fired fiercely, giving the howitzers no chance to reload their shells. The artillerymen were beaten so hard that they lay on top of the enemy, unable to fight back.
Lieutenant Commander Li Jie and others who were commanding at the front were blocked by heavy machine guns and could not reach the fort, making the sniper mission impossible.
Company commander Zheng Zhuguo realized the danger of a stalemate, so he organized the entire company's light and heavy firearms to fire at the fort to cover the retreat of the artillery.
Under the suppression of strong firepower, the artillerymen abandoned eight artillery pieces and hurriedly retreated to their starting position.
The attack was thwarted, and Zheng Zhuguo was very angry, but he could not think of a better way to attack. In desperation, he had to ask his superiors for instructions to dispatch more Dakoujing artillery.
The frontal attack on Southampton Battery was temporarily halted.
There is a train station to the southwest of the fort. In order to prevent the British here from using the train to escape after the fort was captured by the Chinese army, Zheng Zhuguo decided to capture the train station first so that the enemies of the fort would be completely surrounded.
After the caliber artillery arrives, clean up the remaining enemies here.
Li Jie took the reinforced second row and moved towards the train station.
A team of forty or fifty people lined up in two columns and ran forward on the open ground. As long as they climbed over the unknown high ground in front, the train station would be exposed in the sight of the attack.
After a continuous rapid march, the soldiers rushed to the front of the position.
After arriving here, the formation of the queue began to become chaotic, and no one cared about who was in front and who was behind. Although everyone was panting, they did not forget the honor, and they all wanted to be the first to rush to the position as soon as possible.
The soldiers all fought bravely to be first. If you are fast, I am faster than you. Even the few soldiers carrying cannonballs were not willing to lag behind, and even challenged this group of pure infantry led by Jiang Jianglong.
Just as the second platoon was marching quickly towards the position, suddenly, gunfire rang out from the position.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, several soldiers rushing in front were immediately knocked to the ground.
When the soldiers discovered the British on the mountain, they began to exclaim, "Lie down, lie down quickly, there are British here."
The soldiers in front fell down, and there were still people behind them rising up.
Jiang Jianglong pulled a passing soldier to the ground and shouted: "You don't want to fucking live anymore, you didn't hear the British above!"
The second platoon was pinned down on the hillside and unable to move.
Li Jie observed the terrain and called Xiao Yong, "Fourth squad leader, take your squad over there and take down the top of the hill for me."
"Yes," Xiao Yong answered, turned around and shouted to the soldiers on the hillside, "Class 4, follow me."
As soon as the shout came out, more than a dozen figures suddenly floated up from the ground.
Xiao Yong stopped talking and hunched over to the south side of the position. A dozen people behind him followed closely in a straight line.
A British man in the position discovered Xiao Yong and others. After shouting "Woo, blah, blah, blah" a few times, he held a submachine gun and shot at these people.
When Jiang Jianglong saw this, he quickly lay on the ground and fought back at the British man.
"Bah bang bang!"
Several rounds of bullets were fired and hit the British position, causing the Saturn to burst out randomly.
When the British man saw someone shooting at him, he let Xiao Yong and others go, turned the gun, and began to focus on shooting Jiang Jianglong.
This British man was very cunning. He not only hid in the bunker, but also immediately retracted his head after firing two shots, making Jiang Jianglong unable to find the target for shooting.
There was no shelter in front of Jiang Jiang's dragon, so he had to lower his body as low as possible, close to the ground, and fight back with great effort. He did not dare to raise his head too high, for fear of becoming a target for the British man.
The two men took turns shooting, taking turns lowering their heads to dodge. After struggling for a while, Jiang Jianglong found that Xiao Yong and the others had disappeared from sight, and they probably turned the corner of the mountain. He thought to himself, "I won't play with you anymore." He pulled out a grenade from his body and aimed at it.
The British passed over.
A grenade exploded in front of the British position.
Jiang Jianglong took advantage of the gunpowder smoke and chased Xiao Yong and the others.
As soon as Class Four turned the bend of the mountain, all the British people on the top of the mountain were exposed to their sight.
Without saying anything, Yong started to fight. A dozen soldiers who had already had enough energy fired at the British in the truth.
Due to the hasty preparations, the British have not yet been able to repair complete fortifications here. The sandbags piled up in the bunkers facing forward can only withstand frontal attacks, but they are unable to deal with strafing from behind. The British are helpless when they find out.
After the person who had been hit appeared in his back, he quickly turned his gun and launched a counterattack, but there was no rush!
The soldiers of the fourth squadron rushed and swept, and threw grenades. In an instant, the British were beaten, abandoning their helmets and armor, and fled along the ridge towards the train station. Five or six British bodies were left on the top of the mountain.
It's not that easy to run away.
Xiao Yong led four squads of soldiers to hold on to the British men and pursue them with all their might.
On the open ground leading to the train station, three British people ran forward. After running for a while, they squatted down and turned around to shoot. After firing a few shots, they ran again. Even though the three British people had lost their position, they were running away.
During the process, it was still very orderly, with criss-crossing fire cover.
With these few moves, Xiao Yong and the others were not able to chase very smoothly. Even though they had many people with them, they still had to stop and dodge from time to time. Otherwise, there was a real possibility of being hit by the British.
In the blink of an eye, the three Englishmen disappeared behind the train.
Worried about being attacked by the British, Xiao Yong issued an order to stop the attack.
At this time, Li Jie came over with the fifth and sixth squads from the second platoon.
"Platoon leader, do you want to rush over?" Xiao Yong asked.
"Send someone over to conduct reconnaissance first." Before Li Jie could finish his words, Jiang Jianglong rushed to say, "Platoon leader, let me go!"
When Li Jie saw that it was Jiang Jianglong, he agreed and said, "The situation inside is unknown, so be careful to stay hidden."
After Jiang Long finished speaking, he called Niu Qiang and Peng Guangrong, "Let's go."
Jiang Jianglong took Niu Qiang and Peng Guangrong and crawled towards the train.
When they approached a section of railway track and were about to turn over, suddenly, a British machine gun rang out.
The bullet was fired from a water tower.
Machine gun bullets volleyed down in clusters towards Jiang Jianglong, Niu Qiang and Peng Guangrong.
"Puff puff!"
Dense machine gun bullets surrounded the three of them. After hearing Peng Guangrong's "ouch", he mechanically curled up his right thigh.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Jianglong asked.
"I've been shot." Peng Guangrong covered his little tui in horror and said.
Jiang Jianglong crawled over, held down the wound, and said to Peng Guangrong, "Don't move, keep a low profile." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull out the sanitary bag from his body, and gave Peng Guangrong's tui a hard squeeze, "Hold on, wait.
I'll take you back."
Jiang Jianglong moved Peng Guangrong's body and prepared to drag him back.
After Li Jie discovered the machine gun on the water tower, he loudly ordered the attached artillerymen, "Kill that machine gun for me."
Two artillerymen hurriedly set up their guns and fired a shot at the water tower.
"boom!"
A shell flew over and exploded below the water tower, missing the machine gun above.
The British machine guns were still firing at Jiang Jianglong and the others.
"Idiot." Seeing that the artillery missed the target, Li Jie got angry and cursed at the two artillerymen.
The two artillerymen corrected their downward direction and fired a second cannonball at the water tower. This cannonball landed on the water tower without hesitation with a whistling sound.
With a "boom", two people flew down from above.
Li Jie smiled and said, "That's pretty much it. Then he said, "The artillerymen set up all the cannons for me and blast them wherever there are British! Infantry brothers, charge with me."
The three recoilless rifles have found their positions and are ready to mount.
Li Jie brandished his pistol and rushed toward the station with dozens of soldiers.
The station is not very big, with only the waiting room as the only building. Surrounding it, radiating to the railway tracks on the north and south sides, there are a few train cars parked scatteredly. Around the station, there is open space without any shelter. So,
As long as the British occupy the waiting room, they can use their powerful firepower to form a radiating fire network. It is difficult to get close to them with force attacks alone.
As soon as Li Jie and the others came into contact with the British firepower, they were blocked by the British's powerful firepower.
Our soldiers who were charging were cut into several pieces after being attacked by the British. Some lay on the ground unable to move, and some hid behind the carriages. Even behind the low rails became a hiding place.
Bullets were fired at the second row of soldiers from the roof of the waiting room, from the windows, and from the train skin.
"Fire the artillery, fire the artillery." Li Jie hid behind a sleeper and turned around to shout loudly to the artilleryman.
Three 82 mortars (e3) found the [e3 novel] British position and fired.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Two consecutive rounds of shelling finally knocked out the British firepower point on the roof.
As soon as Li Jie saw that the British firepower had stopped, he shouted to the soldiers: "Charge!"
Without the condescending fire suppression, the soldiers rushed towards the waiting room like the wind. Although there were still British people shooting outside in the passenger waiting room, compared with the storm-like attacks of the soldiers, it had no stopping effect at all.
The soldiers charged and fired at the same time. As the distance gradually got closer, the gunfire in the waiting room was finally blocked, and there was no way to fight back. Seeing that the soldiers were about to approach the waiting room, they grabbed under the window.
Can rush inside.
Suddenly, behind the soldiers, the door of a carriage was opened. As the door was pulled to one side, a machine gun stretched out from inside.
“Tart tart tart!”
The British machine gun rang out, and the bullets that sneaked up from behind instantly penetrated the backs of several soldiers. These soldiers did not even have a chance to turn around and looked, and fell to the ground.
Jiang Jianglong, who was rescuing Peng Guangrong, heard the sound of machine guns in a carriage not far away, and then saw several soldiers falling to the ground. He realized that this was a British ambush, and the attacking team was attacked from two sides.
Jiang Jianglong abandoned Peng Guangrong and ran quickly towards the train with the machine gun blaring.
Jiang Jianglong approached the carriage and quietly moved over from one side.
I saw two British men holding Ting machine guns and firing wildly outwards. The barrels of the guns extended about half a foot from the carriage, and the half-meter-long tongue of flame was driving raindrops of bullets to spray outwards.
When Jiang Jianglong saw it, he didn't care and jumped over. He grabbed the barrel of the gun and pushed it down hard. Along with the machine gun and a British man, he was forcefully pulled down. Before the British man could react, Jiang Jianglong
He picked up the captured machine gun and hit the British man on the head.
"Snapped!"
The butt of the gun was struck like a watermelon on the British man's head, and blood immediately spattered everywhere. The mixture of red and white splattered all over Jiang Jianglong's body and face.
Another British man was stunned by the sudden appearance for a few seconds. He immediately reacted and flew from the car towards Jiang Jianglong. The gravity from the sky caught Jiang Jianglong by surprise, and he fell to the ground with a "pop".
On the ground, the British man pressed down on Jiang Jianglong, pulled out a sharp knife and was about to plunge it down. Jiang Jianglong was almost knocked unconscious, but he still realized the danger he was facing. He hurriedly stretched out his hands and grabbed the British man tightly.
Wrist. The two people were struggling hard, fighting and rolling at the same time.
At this time, Niu Qiang also ran over and found Jiang Jianglong and the British rolling together, raising his gun and aiming at the British. However, he was afraid of hurting Jiang Jianglong, so he followed the two men and never dared to pull the trigger.
After Jiang Jianglong glanced at Niu Qiang from the corner of his eye, he shouted loudly: "Shoot, shoot."
Although Jiang Jianglong kept shouting, Niu Qiang still waited for the opportunity.
In an instant, the British man pressed Jiang Jianglong under him, and finally had the opportunity to raise his knife and stab him. Just as he was about to lower his arm, the Niuqiang gun rang out.
"Bah bang bang!"
There were three crisp gunshots in a row, and three bullets passed through the British man's back and into his chest. He tilted his body and fell on Jiang Jianglong.
Jiang Jianglong pushed the British body off his body in disgust, stood up, spat on the ground again, and then turned around and looked at Niu Qiang. Not only did he not thank him, he even blamed him, "You kid, you want to kill me."
!Why didn’t you shoot earlier?”
"I, I'm afraid of hurting you."
"Hmph, you're afraid of hurting me. If it's a little later, I'll be stabbed to death by this guy. Then there's no point in shooting."
"Hehe, that's not true!" Niu Qiang said with a smile, "Oh, team leader, you can fight! Why did you let this guy have the upper hand today?"
Jiang Jianglong glanced sideways at Niu Qiang: "Didn't you see that I'm tired? What a look.
Look at how big that guy is. Damn it, suddenly a sack is thrown down from above and it tries to hit you!"
Jiang Jianglong and Niu Qiang carried Peng Guangrong and limped toward the waiting room.
By this time, the fighting in the waiting room had ended. There were six or seven British corpses lying scattered in the room. A soldier checked on the roof and found that there were only four British people in the room, plus those on the water tower and the train skin.
Jiang Jianglong and Niu Qiang killed the two British people. There were only a dozen British people guarding the train station.
"Platoon leader, there are only so many British people." Xiao Yong came over and said to Li Jie.
"Yes! It seems that the British focus is on the fort." Li Jie looked in the direction of the fort.
"There aren't many people in Guizi's group, but I was beaten and scolded by a small soldier.
"Four squad leader, please count the number of people." Li Jie said to Xiao Yong.
"Count the number of people in each class." Xiao Yong walked away and announced each class.
After a while, each class counted the casualties and reported them. A total of five people were injured and six died.
Li Jie frowned, "Damn it, such a small station cost me so much." Turning to Xiao Yong, "Organize the lightly wounded and carry back the seriously injured brothers and those who died. The others followed me to attack the fort.
."
"In that case, our combat effectiveness will be even less. It is better to leave the lightly wounded soldiers behind and take care of the sacrificed brothers first, and then wait until we take down the fort." A squad leader suggested.
Jay agreed, and then said: "Each squad will count their weapons and prepare to go."
After a brief arrangement, Li Jie led the remaining people and began to move towards the fort.
As soon as they walked not far away, they heard gunshots rang out in the waiting room. Immediately afterwards, a barrage of bullets was fired at them from the waiting room.
The team that was marching forward was hit like this from behind, causing chaos in an instant. They all fell to the ground, turned their heads, and stared at the waiting room with big eyes and small eyes, not understanding what was going on.
Li Jie was also confused and thought to himself: "The British in the waiting room have been eliminated, how come there are still British people appearing?"
Jiang Jianglong noticed a British hat swinging on the window. He recognized it as a British soldier and shouted: "Platoon leader, the waiting room has been occupied by the British again."
"What's wrong," Li Jie secretly shouted. He clearly realized that if the British appeared there, something would happen to the wounded soldiers there. Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow us.
I'll call back."
The soldiers turned around and attacked the waiting room again.
In this attack, they did not dare to use grenades and artillery because they were worried about injuring the wounded inside. This gave the British hiding in the waiting room an opportunity. They fired wildly while shooting outside.
The grenades were thrown outside, blocking the second row of soldiers from moving forward for a long time.
"Jiang Jianglong, aren't you damn accurate! Knock out that machine gunner for me." Li Jie became anxious and ordered Jiang Jianglong repeatedly.
Jiang Jianglong didn't say anything, thinking, "Let's see, we'll see, I'm not bragging, you guys haven't sealed this." Jiang Jianglong climbed behind a sleeper, put his half-action rifle on it, and pointed at the spit.
A shot was fired from the window of the tongue of fire.
As soon as the gunfire rang out here, the machine gun immediately became silent!!.,
