Chapter 256: Broken Fortress
Just as Erlong Mountain was preparing to attack the city and capture the village, a disagreement broke out in the Cheng family village. The old man of the Cheng family thought of spending some money and saving things. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome in the world, and there is no hatred that must be protected. There is no deep hatred between the two sides, so why both sides have to fight to death?
But the eldest son of the Cheng family didn't think so. The eldest son of the Cheng family was thinking that if one of them crossed the river and fed one, what would the men from the nearby mountains and five ridges think of the Cheng family? That's right, big fat meat. A few years ago, the Cheng family only had one-third of the land in the village, and dozens of them were the chief workers of the Baoxiang Group. How about the Cheng family now? The land in the entire village was collected by the Cheng family in various methods (mainly usury and the taxes collected by Taijun). The whole village, regardless of gender, age, was a long-term worker tenant of the Cheng family. The eldest son of the Cheng family personally trained more than 100 gunners.
With the strong support of the Japanese, there are also equipment. With this strength, there are only one of the top 100 miles nearby. The bandits of three or four hundred people on the nearby mountains are only seventy or eighty quick guns. Which casino, tobacco shop and pawn shop opened by the Cheng family in the town is not a prosperous business, but what are you afraid of with this strength? Master Cheng has also inquired about the other party, but he is just a passerby of about a hundred people, and there are more than twenty newly joined mud legs.
What's there to be afraid of? You must know that Master Cheng's tactics and marksmanship were taught step by step by step by step by step by Mr. Cheng.
During the negotiations between the two sides, Mr. Cheng personally fired a shot on the wall of the village. This was so popular that Mr. Cheng, who was still in charge of the negotiations, was different in the new and old generations. They couldn't say the same thing. In the end, Mr. Cheng stomped his feet and returned to the inner village.
That's right, the Cheng family village is divided into two villages: inner and outer villages. The outer village surrounds the entire village house, and the inner village is the Cheng family's big house.
The old man left, but the Cheng family belonged to the eldest son sooner or later. The eldest son of Cheng waved the box cannon in his hand and shouted: "Remember it for me. When they charge, they aimed and beat me to death, kill a bag of white noodles. Those who don't like to eat noodles change to a bag of white rice. If anyone dares to escape in the battle, my Cheng family's family rules will be the twenty sounds in my hand."
"I understand." "I know." "I don't dare to embarrass the eldest son." "This village is also our home, but if the eldest son doesn't reward us, who dares to punish the heaven and earth without any care?"
Before everyone could finish their flattery, the sound of "swooshing" through the air came from the air. The eldest son Cheng was trained by the Taijun and was very familiar with this sound - a grenade launcher.
This grenade canister is only fifty millimeters in diameter, which means that Asian troops use this thing as a cannon. Moreover, the Japanese grenade canister has many inherent shortcomings. First, the range is short and the maximum range is only 600 meters. This is also the maximum range of a light machine gun. In other words, if the grenade canister is not arranged on the back slope, the light machine gun can be suppressed, and even sharpshooters can do it. The second biggest disadvantage of the grenade canister is that there is no aiming device like a gunscope. When firing, it can only be based on the gunner's feelings and experience. In other words, novices cannot use grenade canister except veterans.
However, this is a cannon after all, and there is no Chengjia Village at all.
Jin Batian also taught some tricks when teaching Erlongshan people to use grenade launchers. For example, the maximum range of grenade launchers is not 600 meters. When hitting a fixed target, first visually measure the position of five or six hundred meters and then adjust the grenade launcher to forty-five degrees. This is definitely the maximum range, and it is relatively easy to hit the starter.
Half of the dozen grenade launchers of the artillery shells fell not far outside the village. A few of them fell on the city wall, and a few more fell on the village.
No one cares about the few shells falling down and killing several people. Seeing that Mr. Cheng was no longer majestic at this time, he was holding a box and cannon to hide in. He wished that there was a crack on the ground and let Mr. Cheng get in.
The gunners of the Cheng family did not expect that the group of people would use such a killer weapon as soon as they came up and fled from their respective garrison positions. The loyal few still remember to protect Master Cheng and go to the inner village first. They were more likely to run around and hide around. The shells were not eye-catching, so they might break someone.
After one of the dozen grenade launchers in Erlong Mountain were fired, they adjusted the angle and fired a second shell. More 50 mm grenades fell on the walls of the village and the shells exploded and injured people. This further caused chaos in the Cheng family village.
Looking at the chaos of the Cheng family's gunners on the village wall in the distance, Yun Zhonglong, the boss, was very satisfied: "Speaking of this, there are still cannons to attack the city and draw the village. Hahaha, rush for me, don't shoot *. Save some for me."
The three rounds of artillery were not used, and they changed to two rounds. Dozens of bandits from Erlongshan rushed towards the Cheng family village under the leadership of their leaders.
Although the Cheng family village has built high village walls and solid village gates for decades to prevent bandits and thefts, it is useless. The Cheng family gunners who were supposed to be guarding here don’t know where they went. At this time, the eldest young master of the Cheng family also pulled them to the inner village with the help of the Cheng family gunners.
Seeing that the village outside the Cheng family was taken down in just a few minutes, the old man of the Cheng family said in a pity that he was disappointed: "You are unfaithful, you can do something more than to lose things. Tell me, you have learned something."
Master Cheng still said with lingering fear: "Who knew that they had brought so many cannons? I heard the sound of at least a grenade launcher from the Imperial Army's reinforced squadron. Where can we block our small earthen enclosure?"
Mr. Cheng said, "Then what do you think now?"
Master Cheng also became depressed at this time: "I'd like to ask my father to turn war into jade and silk, and give them some money and grain to send them away."
"Cough." Mr. Cheng sighed: "There are all fighting and breaking the foreign village. I'm afraid that it will take a lot of blood to deal with it. If you can't do it well, the Cheng family will only survive today..."
Although the Cheng family was still in a state of losing money and eliminating disasters, Yun Zhonglong, the leader, had long been attracted to this village. Although this place was not a dangerous place, the terrain was flat and well-connected, which could be used as the base for the tunnel warfare that Teacher Jin mentioned in guerrilla warfare. Teacher Jin also sang a song for the tunnel warfare at that time, which was very exciting. However, the leader had drunk a few more drinks at that time and did not remember the lyrics.
After Erlongshan guerrillas used cluster grenades to break the gate of the foreign village, they began to capture prisoners within the area of the foreign village. Someone shouted slogans such as "No going out, be careful of guns." to control the situation.
A few dozen minutes later, the outer village of Cheng's village was controlled by the Erlongshan guerrillas. The captured gunners were thirty-four prisoners. Only four gunners and one seriously injured were found in the outer village. In other words, the casualties of five people made the Cheng family lose the outer village. The combat effectiveness of the Cheng family was enough.
Faced with the invitation and shouting from the Nei Village, the boss ignored it and directly ordered the light machine guns below to set up more than a dozen crooked light machine guns to shoot them at the key parts such as the machine gun tower in the gate.
