Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 22: Crossfire

The gunshots rang out, and the first thing that alarmed was the security in the Sassoon Building at the intersection of Nanjing. The Indian security guard of the Huabei Bank in the east lobby was carrying a Lee Enfield rifle and ran to the back door of the building to see what happened. When he walked down the steps, a row of bullets flew towards him.

The Sikh guard showed considerable courage. After being shot in his arm and thigh, he rushed back to the lobby to warn the manager on duty, and helped the bank staff close the heavy bag before he lost his blood and fell into a coma. Copper-clad gate and locked steel door latch.

The residents of the Chinachem Hotel on the fourth floor and above were of course also alarmed by the gunshots. Most of them were guests who came to the welcome ceremony, and many of them were government officials or wealthy businessmen and gentry. However, they have seen many such scenes since the war in China for many years. Besides, there are so many familiar faces here. Everyone is a face-seeking figure, so no one showed a nervous appearance, but calmly locked the room. Bilin Locked and closed the shutters facing the street.

"It's a Japanese soldier, the Japanese has entered the concession!" A puppet agent Wang observed the movement downstairs from the gap of the blinds, and he loudly reported to Ding Mocun.

"What?" Ding Mocun rushed out of the bathroom, and hurriedly ran to the window while wearing the belt of his pants.

"It's really the Japanese Army. Which order is this? This is really going to be a big deal. Is it the meaning of Tokyo? No, I have to call it immediately to ask." Ding Mocun turned around. Walked to the desk and picked up the telephone receiver on the desk.

"Switchboard, I want to call an outside line." Ding Mocun gestured to his subordinates, who quickly took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed it over.

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

At this time, the Japanese convoy had already passed the Bank of China Building. The building was almost completed at that time, but due to the fall of Shanghai, it was too late to complete the final work. The heavy door at the entrance was closed tightly, and several staff guarding the building were hiding by the window sill on the tenth floor, watching the movement downstairs through the gap in the window.

Just as the Japanese convoy drove to the side door of the Sassoon Building, a large number of bullets suddenly shot out from the window on the second floor of the South Building of the Chinachem Hotel on the corner of the street. It happened so suddenly that the Japanese soldiers on the first car were completely caught off guard. The bullet rain was so dense. In just a few seconds, the front of the Isuzu was beaten into a honeycomb, and it was even more in the car. Flesh and flesh fly all over the place.

The main force of the Armed Police Brigade was all transferred to the hospital, but an infantry squad was still left on the Bund. The task was to protect the staff of the mission staying in the hotel, as well as the materials and confidential documents carried with the mission.

Squad leader Sergeant Weber installed a machine gun from the class on the second floor window of the hotel’s south building to block the main entrance of the hotel and the intersection of Nanjing. Another machine gun was installed on the second floor of the Sassoon Building to blockade Living on the other side of the intersection can not only form cross fire with the opposite side, but also cover the comrades in the opposite building.

Leading the South Building machine gun team is the squad deputy Llane. Unlike the usual machine gun team, this team has two more gunners and an ammunition. A sniper with a big beast shotgun.

The sniper was the first to discover that the situation was wrong. He was crouching 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 had seen to the squad officer on the second floor through the field phone at hand.

Because the development of the situation was not clear at the time, the Germans only raised the level of security and at the same time notified the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of their findings. But before the telephone line on the side of the Ministry of Industry and Trade had gotten through, the sound of gunfire on the Bund Street had rang through the sky.

The SS witnessed the sacrifices of Inspector Huang and his subordinates, and the squad lieutenant immediately issued the order to prepare for combat. The identity of the opponent should be the Japanese army, and the action was full of offensiveness, although they were not known What is the combat objective of the Chinese government, but it is likely to endanger the safety of hotel residents and members of the mission.

The SS machine gun pulled the bolt and was ready to shoot. Corporal Lane was holding a binoculars and monitored every move of the Japanese soldiers on the truck. When he saw several Japanese soldiers aiming their rifles at the window of the Chinachem Hotel At that time, he immediately issued an order to fire.

The machine gunner pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the MG34 machine gun ejected a long flame, knocking out half of the bullet chain in a few seconds.

Because the driver was killed, the turning truck deviated from the road, tilted its body and hit the postbox at the intersection. The driver of the vehicle behind may panic excessively and use the accelerator as a brake. Instead of evading, he accelerates and crashes into the trunk of the vehicle in front. So the two trucks collided and blocked half of the road.

"My stay! Daddy Keno feels drunk, after Sonor, Kusuo! I stay and stay! (Fire! Enemy's machine gun! That direction! Damn! Fire!)" The belt on the third truck The sergeant drew his saber from his waist and pointed out the direction of the machine gun on the top of the cab.

The soldiers who were knocked into a ball on the second truck finally reacted. They struggled to get up and wanted to jump out of the truck. At this moment, they shot from the second floor window of the East Building of Chinachem Hotel. Two M24 grenades with white smoke were released, and they rolled and fell into the car under the horrified watch of the Japanese soldiers.

"Repair Liu Dan! (Grenade)" with a cry of exclamation, violent explosions occurred one after another.

Although the fragmentation effect of wooden 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 shock wave damage, the power of this weapon is obvious to all, usually with Germany People who have played against can stand up and testify.

One M24 can kill the whole house, not to mention that there are two explosions in a row now, and it happens to be in the crowd. The 23 people in the car immediately went to Kudanzaka. Meet the **** Amaterasu.

What's more serious is that the explosion ignited the leaking gasoline from the truck, and soon the entire car was enveloped in a mass of flames. The burning truck raised a huge black smoke column, covering most of the Sassoon building in a blink of an eye.

The following trucks all stopped on the Bund Road. The officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion of the 109th Infantry Wing all jumped out of the car, and under the organization of the officers, relying on the body as a cover, they shot wildly at the south building of the hotel.

"This kind of open terrain is very unfavorable for us, so we should withdraw the troops first!" Regardless of his ideas, Honda Shaozuo is indeed a qualified commander.

"No, we don’t have time...Let’s just leave a team here to hold the machine gun, the remaining personnel and vehicles, detour from the branch road, we must occupy within half an hour The Ministry of Industry Building.” Hou Dong never thought that this situation would happen. The troops suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the operation. If they retreat at this time, it will seriously affect the morale and morale of the troops, especially the time left for him. Not much. If he can't achieve the first goal as soon as possible, he can expect the final result. This force is likely to be attacked by both the enemy and the enemy.

"When did the Ministry of Industry set up machine guns here? These cunning bastards!" Seeing the lieutenant fasten the helmet strap.

"Sir, I will take someone to take down this machine gun, and you will continue to advance with the others, for the great cause of the imperial nation!" Yan Jian gave a military salute to Hou Dong.

"For the Great Empire of Japan! Please!" Hou Dong raised his hand in a solemn expression.

"Second Squad! Come with me!" Yan saw that he took out the saber from his waist and ran towards the front of the crossfire with a team of engineers.

"You go to organize the troops behind to get on the car, take half of the people from the back of the building around the intersection, and the target is the Ministry of Industry Building." Houtong said to Captain Amano.

"Heh!" Amano respectfully saluted, then ran away holding the scabbard back. Shio saw a small group of soldiers, along the edge of the building, quietly approaching the intersection.

"All get in the car, let's go around from behind!" Amano's shout rang from the other side of the convoy.

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

"Let’s go over there first, and ask why that guy hasn’t killed the machine gun!" Yan Jian pointed to the fourth-ranked truck and said ~IndoMTL.com~ immediately went to the squadron leader, Why didn't the heavy machine gun unit catch up! We need heavy machine gun cover! "At this time, the Japanese captain behind the truck grabbed his hands and yelled under the collar of the sergeant.

"Will there be no wars without heavy machine guns? Red Deer! The heavy machine gun unit now has a more important mission!" Shio saw that he bent over and ran to the back of the truck, just hearing the words of the team leader.

"Oh! sir!" The team leader hurriedly saluted to Yan Jian.

"The distance is so close, why don't you need to throw a bullet!" Shio saw the probe looking at the south building under the cover of the truck body.

"We tried. The grenadier was killed." The captain pointed to the side of the road, and the three soldiers lay down on the ground overwhelming each other.

"That is the first unit, the grenadier, the deputy shooter, and the captain to cover them." The team leader then pointed to the other side of the truck: "There is the second unit."

"How can it be repaired! Sakagami! You personally bring the grenadier unit and take down the machine gun, are you sure!" Seeing that he looked back at the engineer team leader who was following him.

"Heh!" The engineer squad leader did not answer the question he had seen, only raised his hand to salute the staff lieutenant, and then turned and ran towards his squad.

At this time, because the Sassoon Building was covered by smoke, the firepower originally set on the second floor was unable to shoot at all, so Sergeant Weber was leading another machine gun group to the south building, and soon saw this group People will taste the firepower of the entire German class.
