Chapter 54: Shocking the Snake (Part 2)
Everyone outside the battlefield was worried about the Japanese army's abnormality.
The officers in the Sihang Warehouse naturally would not be at ease.
Lei Xiong borrowed the telescope of the battalion commander Yang Ruifu and slapped next to Tang Dao for a long time. He only saw the Japanese infantry digging trenches 600 meters away sweating profusely, as if he was trying to dig trenches to death by digging trenches.
He couldn't help but pull his collar anxiously and suggested to Tang Dao: "Brother Tang Dao, you have good shooting skills. Come on, try a few shots, and you may be able to kill them. What is the damn Japanese who want to do?"
Tang Dao smiled slightly, but did not refute Lei Xiong's impossible suggestion.
In fact, with the effective range of the mid-formal rifle and the somewhat simple but absolutely effective 4x scope, more than 600 meters is not a very insurmountable distance.
However, killing one or two Japanese troops is at most awesome for the Japanese army, but it is not beneficial to the Sihang Warehouse at all. It also lets the Japanese army know that there is a super sniper opposite, and the senior officer will hide more tightly.
Any tactic must serve the strategy. The current strategy of Sihang Warehouse is to stick to it as much as possible and let the Japanese rack their brains to hit the south wall.
However, Tang Dao also knew Lei Xiong's subtext: Since your rifle does not work, let your brother's machine guns get them, and you can help me tell the deputy and battalion commander of the regiment!
He put away the rifle he took from the veteran Yuzi and threw it to Li Jiujin, who had been guarding by his side, sat down with his back against the wall, threw a cigarette at Lei Xiong, and took one to lit it himself:
"Captain Lei, you're going to pull it down! You haven't had enough fun before? How many bullet boards have you emptied? Do you think the two commanders will allow you to use cannons to hit mosquitoes?"
"Hey!" Lei Xiong looked outside with a sad look, turned over and leaned against the wall, and sucked a sip of cigarettes hard. "I'm thinking that the Japanese must be doing some conspiracy and want to make things difficult for them!"
"The Japanese are not fools. Seeing that the infantry can't attack, howitzers and infantry cannons will not work in turn, so they will naturally have to use their brains." Tang Dao's eyelids didn't move and sprayed a mouthful of cigarettes.
"Do you know what tricks did our 26th Division use to fight the Japanese army for seven days and seven nights in Dachang Town?"
"Your 26th Division is this." Lei Xiong did not respond, but gave a thumbs up at Tang Dao and praised the 26th Division first. "I have been a soldier for so many years and rarely subjugates that, but your 26th Division has only 600 people left and has not lost its position. For this, I will obey you brother."
"By the way, you can use those tricks to listen."
The jumping rate is very high! Tang Dao is also adapting to Lei Xiong's random jump style of thinking.
"It's just that the soldiers came to block the water and soil. Just wait for the Japanese army to take action. When they finally didn't make any moves, the battle would be almost done." Tang Dao said lightly, but his eyes turned slightly to look in another direction.
"This..." Lei Xiong was stunned.
Isn’t this equivalent to saying nothing!
"What's wrong? Brother?" Lei Xiong suddenly noticed Tang Dao's strangeness.
Tang Dao's eyes were looking at the flower dog "Hammer" who had been lying beside Niu Er!
The ‘Hammer’ is a wild dog, but it is definitely a wild dog that surprised the officers and soldiers in the warehouse.
Take the previous Japanese bombardment as an example. The shells were either on the roof or on the middle of the wall, just like someone was hitting the warehouse with an extremely huge hammer. The entire warehouse was like a ship in the stormy waves. No one knew whether they would be submerged in the crazy Japanese artillery fire at that moment.
Even a strong soldier like Lei Xiong was a little moved, not to mention others. Although many soldiers did not cry out in fear, they were mostly pale.
But the Hammer was surprisingly calm, stretching his front legs forward and stuffing his head into his legs, looking like he was left to fate.
Even the veteran Youzi joked about his comrades in his class: "Damn it, it's not as good as a "hammer"!
Although the veteran Yuzi was holding a gun and huddling his head like a ball when the shelling came, he was not good at seeing where he was going.
Many people even suspect that the "Hammer"'s ears have long been deafened by the cannon fire. Otherwise, no matter how well-trained a dog is, it will not be indifferent to such an environment. This is beyond people's perception of a creature like a dog.
But obviously, it's not.
When someone walks here from more than twenty meters away, Hammer's eyes will look over there, and his hearing is absolutely amazing.
Finally, Tang Dao gave the answer.
As a dog who has survived on the battlefield for at least half a month, even his own home was blown up by artillery fire. The "Hammer" should have been used to the rumbling of cannons.
Maybe it also knew that it had no choice but to use the weird thing that could blow up the entire house once it exploded, so it learned to leave it to fate.
The reason is a bit ridiculous, but it seems that there is no reason to refute it.
But now, the hammer, which has been lying quietly, lifted his head and his ears are trembling slightly.
Tang Dao's eyes flashed slightly, he pulled Lei Xiong and left, "The Japanese tricks are here."
"Could it be..."
Lei Xiong was not a fierce Zhang Fei, and his mind actually had a delicate side. Combined with the performance of "Hammer" and Tang Dao, the Japanese army clearly did not have any offensive behavior on the battlefield, and an extremely bad possibility suddenly appeared in their minds.
"The Japanese army actually used the plane!" Seeing Tang Dao and his men rushing into the command center, the Army Lieutenant Colonel's face suddenly changed.
Before he could stand up, a huge noise came from the opposite side.
"Brothers, be careful, the Japanese plane is here!"
Obviously, the people were eager to remind the Chinese defenders in the warehouse, and they didn't even have time to write slogans that had previously had a tacit understanding.
Then, the dull "buzzing" sound spread from the invisible sky from far to near to everyone's ears.
The two correspondents responsible for the window here, who were responsible for tacit communication with the people, also ran into the command center: "Report to the commander, the people reminded that two enemy planes were flying towards our warehouse, in the east!"
That was the direction of the sea, and the Army Lieutenant Colonel narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Oh! The Japanese are so young, the Japanese plane is indeed here." Lei Xiong was not surprised but happy, his eyes glaring like a copper bell. "Well, I've been waiting for them for a long time."
He looked eagerly at Lieutenant Colonel of the Army: "Deputy Regiment, I think this time I can get the No. 2 machine gun to participate in the battle. If I can shoot a Japanese plane, it will be a waste of my fellow villagers to cheer us."
The Army Lieutenant Colonel looked up at the window. Because Japanese planes flew in, most people either hid in their houses or retreated to a farther place. However, many people were still raising their arms and shouting on the street, reminding the warehouse defenders dozens of meters away about the approximate distance. Even if they knew that once a bomb was thrown away, they would undoubtedly die if they stayed on the street.
For Sihang Warehouse itself, the walls that cannot be gnawed by 75mm howitzers and cannons are very strong, but this does not include more than 200 pounds of bombs.
Not only the explosion energy of the bomb itself can destroy the building, but what is even more terrifying is that the bomb uses the terrifying kinetic energy of hundreds of meters or even kilometers to break into the building and explode.
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Even if you don’t fire the Japanese plane, you must not let the Japanese plane drop bombs comfortably.
He gritted his teeth slightly and was about to give an order when he suddenly saw Tang Dao's brow frowning, but his heart moved slightly.
