Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 22: Crossfire

The gunshots sounded, and the first alarm was the security guard in the Saxon Building at the intersection of Nanjing. The Indian security guard of Huabi Bank in the east lobby was carrying a Lienfield rifle and ran to the back door of the building to see what was happening. Down the steps, a row of bullets flew head-on.

The Sikh guard showed considerable courage. When he was shot in the arm and thigh, he rushed back to the lobby to alert the manager on duty, and helped the bank staff close the heavy copper-clad door before losing blood. And the steel latch is locked.

Of course, the guests in the Chinachem Hotel above the fourth floor were also shocked by the gunshots. Most of them were guests who came to the welcome ceremony. Many of them were government officials or wealthy gentry who have status and status, but China After many years of war, they have already seen this kind of scene already. Besides, there are so many familiar faces here. Everyone is a face-saving character, so no one shows a nervous appearance, but calmly locks the Spirin lock in the room. , Closed the blinds facing the street.

"It's a Japanese soldier, the Japanese have entered the concession!" An agent Wang Pseudo observed the movement downstairs through the gap of the blinds, and he reported loudly to Ding Mo Village.

"What?" Ding Mocun rushed out of the bathroom and hurried to the window while tying the belt of his pants.

"It's really the Japanese Army, which order is this, and things are really going to get bigger, is that what Tokyo means? No, I'm going to call and ask immediately." Ding Mocun turned back and walked to the desk On the side, he picked up the telephone receiver on the table.

"Switchboard, I'm going to call an outside line." Ding Mocun made a gesture to the men around him, and the other party quickly took out the cigarette case from his pocket and handed it over.

"Pen! What I want is a pen! Pig!" Ding Mocun raised the hand and gave the guy a mind.

At this time, the Japanese convoy had passed the Bank of China building, which was close to completion at that time, but because of the fall of Shanghai, it had been unable to complete the final work. The heavy gate was closed tightly, and several staff members who guarded the building were hiding in fear on the tenth floor window sill, watching the movement downstairs through the gaps in the windows.

Just as the Japanese convoy drove to the side gate of the Saxon Building, a dense bullet suddenly fired from the second floor window of the South Building of the Chinachem Hotel across the street. What happened so suddenly, the Japanese soldiers on the first car were completely unprepared, the rain was so dense, in just a few seconds, the head of the Isuzu was beaten into a hive, especially in the body of the car. The flesh flew across the fire.

The main force of the Armed Police Brigade was transferred to the hospital, but an infantry squad was left on the Bund. The task was to protect the safety of the mission staff and the materials and confidential documents that were carried in the hotel.

Sergeant Webb sergeant set a machine gun in the class on the second floor window of the south building of the hotel, which was used to block the main entrance of the hotel and the intersection of Nanjing, and another machine gun was set on the second floor of the Shaxun building, blocking the intersection. On the other side, it can not only form a crossfire with the opposite side, but also cover the comrades in the opposite building.

The leader of the South Tower machine gun group is Corporal Ryan, who is different from the usual machine gun group. In addition to the two machine gunners and one ammunition player, this group also has an extra Maury beast. Sniper with shotgun.

The earliest found that the situation was wrong was this sniper, when he was squatting on the roof of the building, and saw the atrocities on the Waibaidu Bridge through the telescope he carried. The sniper immediately reported what he saw to the second floor assistant through the field phone on hand.

Because the development of the situation was still unclear at that time, the Germans just raised the level of security and informed the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of their findings. But the phone from the Ministry of Industry and Communications hadn't been reached, and the gunshots on the Bund Street were ringing through the sky.

The SS members witnessed the sacrifices made by Huang Xunguan and his men. The deputy immediately issued an order for combat preparation. The other party's identity should be the Japanese Army, and the operations were full of aggressiveness, although they did not know their combat objectives. What is it, but it is likely to endanger the safety of the hotel guests and members of the mission.

The SS machine gun was ready to shoot by pulling the breech. Corporal Ryan was holding his binoculars and monitoring the Japanese soldiers’ every move on the truck. When he saw several Japanese soldiers pointing the rifle at the window of the Chinachem Hotel, he The firing order was immediately issued.

The machine gunner did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and the mg34 machine gun ejected a long flame, which knocked off half of the chain within a few seconds.

Because the driver was killed, the turning truck deviated from the road, tipped over the body and hit the post at the intersection. The driver in the rear car may have used the throttle as a brake because of excessive panic. Instead of avoiding evasion, he accelerated to the rear of the car in front. So the two trucks collided and blocked half of the road.

"I stay! Dakino feels sour, and Sono is wide, Cuso! I stay!" (fire! The enemy's machine gun! That direction! Damn it! Fire and fire!)" The leader of the third truck Pulled out the saber around his waist, he pointed the direction of the machine gun finger on the top of the cab.

The soldiers in the second truck that were hit and rolled together finally reacted. They struggled to get up and wanted to jump off the truck. At this time, two shots were thrown from the second floor window of the east building of Chinachem Hotel. A m24 grenade with white smoke was rolled into the body of the car under the frightened gaze of Japanese soldiers.

"Repair Liu Dan! (Grenade)" A scream was not over, and a violent explosion occurred one after another.

Although the fragmentation effect of the wooden handle grenade is not very good, the huge charge of German goods makes up for this part of the defect. At least within the scope of the shock wave killing, the power of this weapon is obvious to all. Can stand up to testify.

One m24 can kill the whole house, not to mention that two are now bursting, and it is just in the crowd. The twenty-three people in the car were not spared, and they all went to Jiuduanban to see Tianzhao. Great god.

More seriously, the explosion ignited the gasoline leaked from the truck, and soon the entire vehicle was shrouded in flames. The burning truck raised a huge black smoke column, and in a blink of an eye, most of the Saxon building was covered.

The follow-up trucks all stopped on the Bund Road. Officers and soldiers of the second brigade of the Infantry 109th Wing all jumped out of the car. Under the organization of the officers, relying on the body as a cover, they shot wildly towards the south building of the hotel.

"This open terrain is very unfavorable to us, and the troops should be withdrawn first!" No matter what he thinks, Honda Shasa is indeed a qualified commander.

"No, we don't have time. Let's just leave a team here to contain the machine gun. The remaining personnel and vehicles will detour from the branch road. We must occupy the Ministry of Industry and Bureau Building within half an hour." Houdong I didn’t even think about the situation before me. The troops suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the operation. At this time, if they retreated, it will seriously affect the morale and military spirit of the troops, especially if there is not much time left for him. Reaching the goal of the first step, he can anticipate the final result. This unit is likely to be hit by both the enemy and the enemy.

"When did the Ministry of Industry and Engineering lay the machine guns here? These cunning bastards!" Seeing the lieutenant tighten the helmet strap of the helmet.

"Sir, I'll take someone to take down this machine gun, and you will take other people to move forward, for the great cause of the imperial kingdom!" Yan Jian paid a military salute to Hou Dong.

"For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire! Please!" Houdong raised his hand solemnly in return.

"Second Squad! Come with me!" Yan Jian withdrew his saber from the waist and led an engineering squad towards the frontier of the crossfire.

"You go to organize the troops behind to get on the bus and take half of the people from the back of the building to bypass the intersection. The goal is the Ministry of Industry and Bureau Building." Houdong said to Captain Amano.

"Oh!" Amano saluted respectfully, and then ran away holding the scabbard. I saw a group of soldiers walking along the edge of the building and approaching the junction quietly.

"Everyone got on the car, we went around from behind!" Amano's cries sounded from the other end of the team.

At this time, the five trucks in the front of the convoy were within the firepower range of the machine gun in the south building. The officers and soldiers were shooting at the enemy. Without fire protection, these people would be difficult to withdraw safely. At the same time, it was observed that the guards in the south building of the hotel not only had a machine gun, but at least a dozen rifles and submachine guns were shooting at the Japanese on the street.

"Let's go there first and ask the guy why he hasn't killed the machine gun yet!" Banmi said, pointing to the fourth truck.

"Go to the squadron leader immediately, why didn't the heavy machine gun detachment catch up! We need the cover of the heavy machine gun!" The Japanese captain behind the truck shouted, grabbing the collar of his army soldier.

"Is it impossible to fight without a heavy machine gun? Red deer! The heavy machine gun detachment now has a more important mission!" Yan Jian stooped and ran behind the truck, just hearing the captain's words.

"Oh, sir!" The captain of the team quickly saluted the princess.

"It's so close, why don't you throw a bomb!" Seeing the cover of the truck's body, the probe looked towards the south building.

"We tried it, and the bomb thrower was killed." The captain pointed to the side of the road, and the three soldiers lay down on the ground.

"That's the first unit, the barrel shooter, the deputy shooter, and the captain who covered them." The captain then pointed to the other side of the truck: "There is the second unit."

"I can't fix it! Sakagami! You personally took the tossing barrel unit and took down the machine gun. Are you sure?" Yan Jian looked back and looked at the captain of the engineering team who followed him.

"Oh!" The captain of the engineering team did not answer the question he saw, but raised his hand to salute the lieutenant of the staff, and then turned and ran towards his team.

At this time, because of the smoke cover, the firepower originally set on the second floor could not be shot at all, so Sergeant Weber was leading another machine gun group to the south building, and soon he saw that this group would Taste the firepower of the entire German class.
