Tian Jingsheng led a squad of brothers and walked concealedly along the shadow of the wall. Suddenly, he raised his arm and all ten soldiers behind him stopped and immediately squatted down.
The front is close to the north entrance of the village. Several Qing soldiers are running around, some carrying bullet boxes, some carrying the wounded, and some carrying artillery shells. These Qing soldiers seem to be well-trained, except for the wounded.
Except for screams and moans, no one yelled. However, everyone seemed very nervous. In the distance outside the village, loudspeakers shouted, and flares landed one after another from the top of the head, making this wonderful scene beautiful.
The large areas are all brightly illuminated.
Tian Jingsheng originally planned to take advantage of the darkness and lead his men to approach quietly and catch him by surprise. Now it seems that the unlucky flares that kept firing were doing him a disservice, as they would be conspicuous if he got closer.
Tian Jingsheng stared at one of the Qing soldiers carrying the shells to see where he was sending the shells.
Within a few minutes, the Qing soldier moved the shells back and forth three times, all from a barn to behind a half-broken wall more than ten meters away. Behind the half-broken wall was a shadow, with vague shapes in the shadows.
There was a tall body, motionless, like a dormant tiger.
Suddenly, the top of the big black shadow suddenly moved. It turned out to be a human figure, bending down to talk to the people below. Tian Jingsheng judged that the big black shadow was a Qing army tank, and the figure at the top was a car.
The commander is exposing the top of the turret and observing the outside of the village for himself.
Tian Jingsheng picked up the telescope and observed carefully for a moment, confirming his judgment.
A voice behind him whispered:
"Squad leader, why don't we each throw a grenade at it? At least it can detonate the shell, and it will definitely kill the tank and its crew! Then we will rush out from this gap and join the large troops outside the village!"
Tian Jingsheng turned around and cursed softly:
"You want to die! You just saw the tank, where are the machine gun points, did you see it? If you run out like this, you have to kill them all! Wait!"
The soldier behind him shrank his head and became silent.
Suddenly, another soldier shouted softly:
"Squad leader! The machine gun is over there, on the right!"
Tian Jingsheng looked in the direction of his hand and saw that on the roof of a tiled house across the small dirt road, several tiles were blown open, revealing the thatch inside. A large black piece was exposed in the middle of the thatch.
There was a gap. Suddenly, there was a trace of metal reflection passing inside.
"Ah, you know how to find a place!" Tian Jingsheng relaxed for a while and laughed softly, "It's not easy to find there, and you can overlook the entire road into the village. From that angle, you can't see from outside the village, you can only see the attacking soldiers being attacked.
He was beaten to death on a dirt road, but you couldn't see where the bullet came from."
Then, I saw a Qing soldier carrying a box of bullets, hunched over, trotting around the house, and delivered it up from nowhere.
"Okay, seize the machine gun first!" Tian Jingsheng immediately had a plan in his mind, and he made a decisive decision, "Which one of you knows how to use a machine gun?"
"I can! And he can too!" A soldier replied in a low voice, while pulling a brother behind him over, "Squad leader, we are in the same machine gun team!"
"Will it use Maxim water-cooling type?"
Tian Jingsheng asked. The Qing soldier was carrying a bullet chain box, which was a heavy machine gun. And the Qing army's heavy machine gun was the Maxim.
"I haven't used it," the machine gunner replied quietly, "but I think it's more or less the same."
Tian Jingsheng thought, this is the only way. He nodded:
"Okay, you two, and the four of you, follow me, and we'll grab the machine gun! The other six stayed where they were, and when they heard the sound of the machine gun above, they immediately threw the grenades over to the tank!
After the explosion, everyone rushed out of the village together! Do you understand?"
The soldiers behind him all nodded, their hearts rising in their throats with nervousness.
At this time, the Qing soldier who sent the bullets appeared again, his hand empty. He must have already sent the bullets.
"Good... ready..."
Tian Jingsheng stared at the Qing soldier, watching his back gradually disappear, then he tightened his grip on the submachine gun, waved back, and tiptoed toward the dirt road with his four brothers.
As soon as he touched the dirt road, he suddenly raised his hand again and fell to the ground like an electric shock. Then, the four brothers behind him also fell to the ground with a "hula".
The Qing soldier just disappeared and reappeared, holding a heavy portable iron oil drum in his hand and running towards this side quickly.
Tian Jingsheng cursed secretly, stared at the Qing soldier, saw the opportunity and jumped up, grabbed him by the neck and knocked him down. Then the four brothers around him swarmed up and took the oil drum without letting it fall to the ground.
, and at the same time pinned the Qing soldier to the ground. Tian Jingsheng pulled out his dagger and killed him with one blow. Fortunately, no loud noise was made during the whole process.
Several people dragged the bodies of the Qing soldiers to the shadow of the tile-roofed house. Then, Tian Jingsheng picked up the oil drum, unscrewed the lid and smelled it. It was filled with water. As expected, it was for the machine gun above. Water-cooled machine guns must be
Prepare plenty of water.
Tian Jingsheng was very happy. He was so sleepy that he hit his pillow. He carried the bucket of water, waved his hand, and with his four brothers, tiptoed to the back of the tile-roofed house, found the door, and ducked in.
There was a wooden board above the head, and the board was creaking. People were moving, and others were talking in low voices. The smell of cigarette smoke continued to drift down.
Tian Jingsheng signaled to the brothers behind him to prepare for a surprise attack, then he carried the water and swaggered up the wooden stairs to the attic.
A Qing soldier above was leaning on a wooden pillar, smoking a cigarette, and turned his head tiredly and asked:
"Password."
Password? Tian Jingsheng was startled. He didn’t expect such a thing. He said casually:
"Send water, send water."
Then he put down the bucket, jumped up to the attic in three steps and two steps, picked up his submachine gun and fired fiercely. Suddenly, there were screams and screams from the gunshots. At least two people fell down. The other four soldiers behind him also rushed up, and together they
Shooting. With the flash of a submachine gun, Tian Jingsheng saw clearly that there were four Qing soldiers in the small attic, two were dead, and the other two were lying on the ground, touching their guns.
The magazine of his submachine gun was empty. In desperation, he pulled out his pistol and "popped" twice, killing the other two. The whole process took no more than ten seconds.
"Cease fire! Cease fire!" Tian Jingsheng shouted, waving his arms, and then pointed to the heavy machine gun on the ground, "Quick!"
The two machine gunners immediately rushed forward, one holding the machine gun and the other holding the ammunition chain. They found that the view was really amazing, not only overlooking the entire road, but also overlooking the Qing tanks under the low wall on the opposite side.
The main shooter touched the body of the gun and pulled the gun again, and found that the principle was similar to that of the woodpecker. After a few seconds, the heavy water-cooled machine gun sounded "click, click, click", and the line of fire was directed towards the tank on the opposite side.
.
Sparks suddenly flew from the big shadow, and screams were heard all around. However, the tank also screamed, and the turret rotated and pointed toward the attic.
But at this time, the six soldiers lying in ambush under the tiled house heard the sound of machine guns and immediately threw grenades together. The six grenades fell around the tank on the opposite side and exploded one after another. The huge figure of the tank was submerged in a series of explosions, and people sprang up behind the turret.
flame.
Immediately, a bigger explosion sounded, and several artillery shells exploded next to the tank. In the earth-shattering loud noise, the tank turned into a ball of fire, and then the shells inside also exploded one after another. The fireball rose into the sky with thick smoke.
, half the turret was demolished.
…
A crowd cheered downstairs, and a crowd cheered in the attic. Tian Jingsheng cursed:
"Scream, run!"
He didn't have time to take the stairs, so he got out of the hole in the roof, slid down the sloping roof, and jumped to the ground. The four soldiers behind him also imitated his example, got out one after another, and jumped to the ground. The people from the same squad gathered again.
Together.
The Qing soldiers behind him were already shouting, firing "pop, bang, bang", and the bullets screamed and passed over their heads. Tian Jingsheng shouted:
"Run! Grenade cover!"
Ten grenades were thrown swarm in the general direction of the gunfire, and the explosion suddenly exploded. Under the cover of the explosion and black smoke, a squad of Ming soldiers rushed out of the village, dozens of people running out of the village in one breath.
rice.
Under the illumination of the flares, the Ming army outside the village finally saw their uniforms clearly before giving the order to fire, and they were all killed without a single shot.
This group of people ran to a tank and all sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. A large number of Ming soldiers gathered around and asked all kinds of questions. The group of people who just ran out also asked all kinds of questions.
After a while, the company commander of the tank company came over and pulled Tian Jingsheng aside. The two of them communicated easily after a few words.
The tank company commander immediately jumped on the command vehicle, grabbed the headset and ordered a tank platoon, plus an armored infantry company to launch immediately and attack the village from the site of the explosion.
Now, Tian Jingsheng and others finally opened a gap in the Qing army's defense.
…
A dozen tanks and armored vehicles roared and rushed into the village one after another. As expected, they were not bombarded. And there were no machine guns in this direction. After a while, several places in the village became lively, with the sound of artillery, the harsh sound of machine guns, and the soldiers'
Screams resounded across the sky. Explosive flames flashed one after another, and large fireballs filled with thick smoke rose up one after another.
Tian Jingsheng and the others were also holding telescopes, looking at the fighting in the village, and assessing the situation of the battle. Now they also have experience. Those big fireballs are basically the ones that rise after the tanks are destroyed. However, which are the Ming army tanks?
It's hard to say which Qing tanks are those.
But one thing is certain, the tank battle in the village was fierce, and the Qing army's tanks must have been more numerous than the Ming army imagined.
Fortunately, these armored division soldiers all understand what they have been taught repeatedly during training: in complex environments - such as at night, in forests, ruins, and residential areas, the strengths of the strong and weak will be equalized to the greatest extent. At this time,
The battle is not about whose cannon is bigger or whose armor is thicker, but whose training is better, who is bolder, more alert and more decisive.
Moreover, in this kind of hand-to-hand battle, whose weapon has more firepower often determines who can win. There is no doubt that these advantages are in the hands of the Ming army soldiers.
…
After a short period of more than ten minutes, the battle was basically over. The whole village was filled with flames and thick smoke. The Ming soldiers held submachine guns and pressed out of the village on the remaining Qing prisoners.
After counting, in the battle to occupy this village, the Ming army lost a total of 56 people, 32 injured, 6 Lightning-3 tanks, and 4 Gale-36 armored personnel carriers. The Qing army was killed 54 people and injured 65
people and captured 154 people alive.
What is surprising is the number of tanks of the Qing army: in this small village, the Ming army destroyed 10 Balutu tanks and captured 5 Balutu tanks intact!
The Qing army actually had one heavy tank company!
This really shocked the Ming army.
There is another set of figures: Because these two companies of Qing troops clung to residential areas and refused to agree to a ceasefire, allowing villagers to evacuate, 37 innocent villagers died and 28 were injured.
Therefore, the four surviving lieutenants of the Qing army were singled out and brought to the Ming army division headquarters to ask Nanjing for instructions on how to deal with them.
