I want to be a good person

Chapter 222 The Power of Machine Guns

"Squeaky!"

The sound of metal tracks rubbing against each other, accompanied by the sound of a tractor-like engine.

"Chariot?"

Two Renault FT17 tanks slowly moved forward and came into view.

"How to do?"

Some of the soldiers in charge of covering the rear were panicked. They stood up tremblingly, climbed out of the trench, and ran backwards, but their running feet were no match for the bullets.

"boom"

The probability of being hit on the back is too high because human eyes are located in the front.

"Hold your position. Anyone who retreats without permission will be punished by military law!!"

Zhang Aiguo was anxious, what should he do?

An 88mm anti-aircraft gun could destroy it with one shot, but it couldn't be taken out at the moment, and one person couldn't operate it.

He lowered his body and ran along the ditch towards the commander, a deputy regiment commander.

"Report to Chief"

"What are you running over here for?"

"I am from the Jiangyin Fortress Garrison Battalion. Is there a small cannon not far behind?"

"Small artillery?"

"Yes, for the fortress's air defense."

"Second Captain, take three men and push the gun over here."

"Yes"

While the company commander was looking for someone, Zhang Aiguo had already jumped out of the trench, ran backwards, and quickly dropped a Suloton S5-106 20mm machine gun with 20 rounds of armor-piercing bullets in a remote place.

I picked up 4 doors in the fortress. I originally wanted to collect some more, but time did not allow it.

It is easy to catch wild animals but difficult to catch flying birds. It takes thousands or even tens of thousands of bullets to shoot down a plane.

In addition to tracer bullets and tracer explosive bullets for air defense, there are also high-speed armor-piercing bullets and armor-piercing incendiary bullets for dealing with armored targets, a total of only 440 rounds.

"Why was it left here? Isn't this aiding the enemy?"

The company commander rushed over and started cursing.

"Push back quickly, there are too many things thrown away, such as artillery, tanks and armored vehicles."

An old soldier said nonchalantly.

The cannon was very heavy, weighing 294 kilograms in total when deployed and 750 kilograms in total when lined up. Several soldiers came over and pushed it back together.

Fortunately, there is a spare wheel stand. If all we had were tripods, we wouldn’t be able to move it at all. The wheel stand can only shoot at 60 degrees, while the tripod can do 360 degrees.

According to the information from the previous life, high-speed armor-piercing projectiles use a carbide core, have an initial velocity of 100 meters per second, and have strong penetrating power. They can easily penetrate 100 mm homogeneous steel plates at a distance of 50 meters, 500 mm armor at a distance of 30 meters, and have a penetration power of more than 800 mm at a distance of 20 meters.

The tanks on the opposite side are showing off their power. They are French products. The thickness of the riveted steel plates is between 6 and 20 mm.

"Who will fire with so few shells?"

"I come!"

The company commander looked up and down with a puzzled look at the new recruit with the rank of private.

"Report, I'm a new recruit and I've fired artillery before!"

"Hurry up, let's try it!"

The FT-17 tank is slow, running only 10 kilometers per hour, which brings a sense of oppression. No one saw the tank firing, so it should be equipped with machine guns.

"Pooh!"

Zhang Aiguo spat violently on the ground to pay tribute to Han Qing, the eternal sinner.

Perhaps we should make an iron statue of him, kneeling in Fengtian, to apologize to the dead compatriots.

Turn the elevation wheel left and right to level the muzzle, and here comes the battlefield military court.

The right hand grip is for single shot, and the left hand grip is for continuous shot.

"bang"

A shell flew out.

“It’s off.”

In the company commander's telescope, a Japanese soldier was exploded like a watermelon, and his blood and flesh were splattered on the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

"Left."

None of us were professionals, and we couldn't find the operating guide or instruction manual for the artillery. We could only try it out, and we had to guess at the artillery range table.

"Go on, fire!"

"bang"

Another one spiraled towards the tank.

"boom"

"Okay, I hit it."

The Japanese machine gun bullets flew over like raindrops, and the protective shield made a clanging sound.

A soldier was hit in the arm, rolled on the ground in pain, and soon passed out.

"Keep going, keep going, shoot continuously, and destroy the remaining one!"

"Boom~boom"

When he got the feel for it, Zhang Aiguo exerted force with his left hand twice, and the shell penetrated into the tank. There were continuous explosions, sparks and smoke, and then it stopped.

The Japanese soldiers began to retreat.

"Stop for half an hour and then retreat."

Captain Jiang ran over with a box gun in his hand and said with a smile, "Good boy, you shoot accurately!"

"What is your name?"

"Wu Yougen!"

"Where are you from?"

"Shanghai Zhabei"

"Okay, you change to military street, you are now a second lieutenant."

"Is this appropriate?"

"Technical soldier, you are already three levels higher! If you make more achievements, I will promote you to captain."

"Not everyone has the ability to hit two tanks, it should be."

“Will it work?”

"Yes, I will write you a certificate. We are also the Central Army!"

"98th Division!"

"Thank you for your cultivation, Commander!"

It turned out to be a German helmet division.

Two consecutive incidents in 1936 disrupted the National Government's reorganization, and there were no more German-equipped divisions after the Battle of Nanjing.

"Take it, and make do with it for now."

Captain Jiang handed over a box gun, two magazines, and a box of bullets.

Imported from Germany, Mauser M1932, purchased by the National Government.

Yes, if you can finish a box of 50 bullets, it means you can still survive.

"Commander, please smoke."

"Hey, the devil's cigarettes?"

"I got it in Shanghai."

It is a glorious tradition to plunder the spoils of war. After the Japanese retreated, more than a dozen soldiers went to collect the spoils.

"Second Captain, go and give the cigarettes to the brothers to have a few puffs."

"Do you have any more on you?"

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Aiguo.

"Yes, there are three more."

Zhang Aiguo took out three more boxes from his bag.

"any left?"

"No, why don't you take a look."

"Slippery, when we get back to Nanjing, I'll buy you a can."

"Thank you, Commander. I have a small request. Can three batteries be used?"

"Go away. There are conditions."

If they can buy it, it means they can still go back alive. Everyone knows what this means and they just pretend to be happy.

Ten minutes later, the shit-yellow Japs came again.

There were no retreating soldiers on the road.

"Brothers, after we finish this battle, we will retreat."

The regiment commander was mobilizing the troops when screams were heard from the sky.

The whistling shells hit the ground with a clang, and the deafening explosions bent the simple fortifications and rolled out the soil.

Zhang Aiguo at the back was covered in dust, with broken limbs flying in the air, and the air waves swept away everything like a hurricane.

The tunnel was not dug in a standardized manner and was a temporary emergency measure.

The Japanese tanks rumbled forward.

"The Japs are coming, get ready to fight!"

About 20 people stood up in the tunnel, raised their guns and started shooting.

The Japanese's infantry, tanks, artillery, aircraft and naval guns fought in a very methodical manner, relying on the tactics of using tanks in conjunction with intensive infantry combat to cover each other.

"Boom-boom-boom"

The 20mm machine gun began firing bursts.

A Type 94 light tank was hit and caught fire. Its iron-like shell could be penetrated by heavy machine gun bullets.

It is 3.08 meters long, 1.62 meters wide, and 1.62 meters high, with an empty weight of only 3.2 tons, which is about the same size as a QQ car. Its maximum speed is 40 kilometers per hour.

A 6.5mm machine gun is installed in the turret, and the armor is made of hardened nickel-chromium alloy steel. The entire vehicle is only 8 to 12 mm thick.

"Bean Chariot! Hit it."

"Quick, clear out the Japanese soldiers, Sergeant, and prepare to retreat."

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Aiguo fired all the remaining shells, aiming specifically at the Japanese soldiers wearing sabers and holding flags.

If you hit it, it will break into pieces. If you rub it without going in, it will be a bloody mess and the bleeding will not stop.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Seeing the Japanese retreating, the still alive Captain Jiang gave urgent orders. His shoulder was pierced and was bleeding.

"Yougen, the cannon has been blown up, we can't leave it to the Japs!"

"Okay, you guys go first, I'll take over."

There are still many mines in the space, dig a hole and bury a few.

Looking at the figures of Captain Jiang and a dozen other men, Zhang Aiguo put away his machine gun and left behind a grenade.

"boom!"
