"Do you want to get rich? Ah?! Do you want to get rich? Hey, let me ask you, Miss Lin from the health company, do you still want it?"
A lieutenant pushed an artilleryman against the wall and asked in a low voice while shaking.
The artilleryman's face was pale, and he averted his eyes, staring nervously at the dim light bulb on the top of the corridor, listening to the earth-shaking roar from above every once in a while, licking his lips, and sweatdrops rolled down.
On the Yangtze River defense line, a few meters below a 210mm cannon fortress is the artillery barracks area. The narrow corridor can only accommodate one person, and there are several small doors on both sides. The barracks of all the gun crew members are located here.
here.
This lieutenant is called Fang Zude, and he is the deputy leader of the fire control team. This artilleryman is a member of the transport team, Private Song Dabao. The battle above is in full swing, and they were replaced for a short rest and will return to their posts soon.
Let someone else take a rest. But the difference is that the other artillerymen who were replaced are throwing themselves on the bed in extreme fatigue and unwilling to move. Instead, they are arguing in a low voice in the corridor like crazy.
Fang Zude grabbed Song Dabao's collar, stared and shouted softly:
"I'm asking you, do you want to get rich? Do you want to be promoted? Ah? Haven't you, kid, been obsessed with Miss Lin from the health company for a long time? Ah? When you are a private, you get a few yuan of military pay a month. Miss Lin
I'm a second lieutenant, can I like you?... Think about it, as long as you do as I say, everything will come! The reward will be at least tens of thousands of oceans, and it will not be a problem to upgrade to three levels in a row, let alone the health company.
That little girl Lin, when the time comes to break through the Purple Mountain Fortress, you can choose as many female officers as you like in the entire headquarters! There are so many beauties there!...Why are you still hesitating?"
Private Song Dabao was short of breath and blushed at what he said. He leaned against the wall and murmured:
"Can...is it possible? Some time ago...the new emperor from the north came to power, and after that...the sticky rod area was cleaned, even the fourteenth grid came over...Now that we have been cut off from the north for so long, who knows that people still know about us?
Isn’t this the line?”
Fang Zude was secretly happy when he heard his relaxed tone. He put his arms around his shoulders and whispered:
"Brother, listen, people don't know about us, so we have to do it and let people know...Brother, since we have entered the sticky place, we will never be able to get out of it in this life, so we just follow Daqing and work together.
Half a lifetime of wealth! This is a great opportunity, I have brought all the explosives, all I need is your cooperation! Brother, you are in the transport team, you can go down to the ammunition depot..."
Song Dabao's face turned red and his legs were trembling, but he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, okay... when it's really done, you... you can't take my credit! But you pulled me into the stick, we agreed at the beginning..."
Fang Zude was overjoyed, patted his arm and whispered:
"Brother, don't worry, I won't do you any wrong! ... How can I finish such a great achievement by myself! Haha..."
…
In the cement fort, the 210mm cannon roared as soon as it finished firing. Artillerymen wearing asbestos balaclavas rushed forward and quickly opened the barrel to clean out the remaining charges.
At the same time, a giant artillery shell that had just been transported was pushed out of the elevator by a trolley, and the loading team was loading it onto the crane.
Song Dabao, who had finished his rest, was already wearing a canvas coat and waiting next to the elevator. The gunner looked at his watch and drank:
"Okay, shift change, Song Dabao!"
"arrive!"
"On duty!"
"yes!"
The tired porter got out of the elevator, Song Dabao went in, pressed the button, and there was a long beep from the motor, and the elevator lowered into the ground.
Song Dabao controlled his legs not to tremble and leaned against the steel wire while the surrounding cement walls moved upward quickly.
Ten seconds later, it stopped with a "bang", the wire door opened, and the underground ammunition depot appeared in front of us. A shell was already ready at the door, and two soldiers in coats pushed a trolley to transport the shell into the elevator.
After the two soldiers exited, Song Dabao pressed the button, the wire door closed, and the elevator roared up.
However, when he was halfway up, Song Dabao pressed the button tremblingly. The elevator stopped and the wire door opened. It was surrounded by the cement wall of the elevator shaft, the turret above, and the ammunition depot below, all about ten meters away.
Song Dabao trembled and leaned against the wire mesh, and took out a heavy oilcloth bag from his canvas coat. His face was pale, he hesitated, then made up his mind, took the oilcloth bag and smashed it twice on the steel wire mesh.
He put the oilcloth bag to his ear and heard a "hissing" sound coming from inside.
The glass chemical fuse had shattered, and the acid solution inside was corroding the detonator.
Song Dabao had no choice at this time. He flattened the oilcloth bag and threw it down along the gap between the steel plate and the cement wall under his feet.
... A full two kilograms of plastic explosive fell down the elevator shaft into the ammunition depot. It would explode in six to eight minutes.
The elevator rose into the fort, the wire door opened, and two soldiers from the transport team rushed in and pushed out the shells.
By this time the cannon had finished firing one shot and had been idle for a while. The gunner yelled at him:
"Why is it so slow this time? What's the delay? Did you not wake up?!"
Song Dabao looked pale and turned a deaf ear. He walked out on soft legs and walked towards the tunnel leading to the rest area.
"Hey, what are you doing?" the gunner shouted in surprise, "Where are you going? When you come back, you still have to transport artillery shells!"
Song Dabao was stunned and blurted out:
"I... my stomach hurts so much... ah!... No, I need someone to help me. I'll come as soon as I can!"
With that said, he ran into the traffic tunnel, leaving behind the astonished gunner and loading team members in the fort.
…
At the corner of the passage, Fang Zude had been waiting for him. When he saw him, he hugged him and asked in a low voice:
"How about it?"
Song Dabao nodded:
"Throw it down!"
"Are you sure the fuse is broken?"
Song Dabao nodded again:
"It broke and everyone heard the noise."
Fang Zude pulled him and ran away without saying a word.
"Hurry up, there will be a big explosion in a few minutes!" Fang Zude was overjoyed and gasped as he ran, "We have done a big thing! Did you know that the ammunition depot of this fort is next to the electric machine room, two or three kilometers away?
The power distribution of the defense line depends on this computer room... Hehe, maybe the river embankment can be broken. When the river water comes in again, and there is no electricity to pump water, the entire defense line will be flooded!"
Song Dabao was startled, turned around and ran back.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Song Dabao said while running:
"Go to the health company!"
Fang Zude said in astonishment:
"Are you crazy?"
"I...I have to take Miss Lin with me! I can't let her drown too!"
Fang Zude stamped his feet, with a fierce look in his eyes, took out his pistol, aimed it at Song Dabao's back, and pulled the trigger.
Song Dabao fell to the ground and struggled for two times before becoming motionless.
The explosion above his head covered up the sound of gunfire, and Fang Zude ran down the passage without looking back.
…
At Pukou Pier, Emperor Guangwu was squatting in the trench, his eyes in the periscope gun scope observing the battle situation on the other side.
It is said that we are observing the other side of the river, but in fact we can only see the river. The fog is now very thin, but the visibility is only a few hundred meters. This section of the Yangtze River is less than a thousand meters wide. It is already very difficult to see the river beach. The Ming army's defense line
You couldn't see it at all, you could only see the flash of artillery fire behind the fog.
According to the report, the machine gun fire on the other side had inexplicably stopped for a while. A large number of our own infantry took the opportunity to cross the river beach, and some scattered small fortifications had been controlled. Unfortunately, the Ming army's firepower gap did not last for a few minutes, and soon another
Recovered. Those soldiers who have passed have become a lone army and will probably be wiped out soon...
Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet tremble violently, followed by a second, then a third...
A few seconds later, he heard a series of loud thunder-like noises, which was definitely incomparable to the sound of artillery fire from both sides.
"Your Majesty, look!!"
The general beside him screamed wildly, and pulled his sleeves regardless of his dignity.
Guangwu removed his eyes from the gun scope and looked at it with his naked eyes, and he was immediately horrified.
A giant fireball shot up into the sky on the other side, as if a hole in hell had opened. Loud noises came one after another, and thick black smoke covered the entire river.
Everyone here in Pukou couldn't believe what they saw.
Guangwu hurriedly moved to the gun scope and took a closer look. He saw several super huge cement blocks standing in the river. The rapids were rushing through them, like several rocks. Between the "rocks", a gun barrel emerged from the water.
Stretching up, it stands tall, like a big tree growing in the water.
The generals around him reacted and said ecstatically:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, their ammunition depot has exploded!"
"God bless our emperor! God bless the Qing Dynasty!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Guangwu was also ecstatic and said immediately:
"Order a fierce attack! All ships are launched into the water! We cannot let down God's blessing!"
Everyone everywhere said in unison:
"嗻!"
…
The defense line of the Yangtze River on the south bank.
In the passage near the explosion, all the fortifications were destroyed, and no one survived. The passage farther away from the explosion point was pitch black, the lights were off, the water pump stopped, and the connecting fan stopped running.
The passage was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, and the raging river water kept rising. Countless soldiers screamed, touched the walls, paddled their legs in the water, and struggled to reach the stairs. The water level continued to rise, and soon they were waist-deep.
, and then she lost her breasts again.
The lowest passage was completely submerged first. The cold water rose inch by inch along the stairs, and a pale corpse kept floating up.
On the second floor, the terrain was higher, and the water rose more slowly. The soldiers who had fled to this floor supported each other, shivering, and climbed up with difficulty.
The sirens spread throughout the entire Nanjing section of the defense line. The defenders who were farther away had already felt the earth-shaking explosion and heard the piercing sirens. They were all terrified and didn't know what was going on.
Soon, a nervous voice came from the loudspeaker: the No. 6 ammunition depot exploded, shattering the river embankment, flooding the defense line, and ordered the defenders on both sides to quickly close the watertight doors.
…
In the passage, several soldiers desperately turned the handle of the watertight door.
Deep in the tunnel, a low howling could be heard faintly, followed by a cold strong wind blowing in the face.
Several soldiers turned pale and looked at each other, knowing what was going on.
A captain pulled out his gun, fired a shot at the ground, and shouted:
"Work!...I'll kill whoever runs away first!"
Several soldiers lowered their heads in fear, prayed, and turned the handle desperately. The huge watertight door closed inch by inch.
The roaring sound got closer and closer, and the dim water suddenly rushed over, covering the feet and then the calves.
The closer the watertight door is closed, the faster the water gushes out, and finally it almost sprays directly through the crack in the door.
Just when the water flooded his chest, the watertight door was completely closed.
Several people leaned against the wall weakly, shivering from the cold. The captain also bit his livid lips and shivered:
