Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 245: Big fire and (10)
The Jisifeier Road was the result of the construction of the road across the border by the Ministry of Industry, and it was a serious violation of the concession treaty. It was only because of the repeated domestic political turmoil in China at that time, and the local government did not pursue this obvious due to various interest considerations. The issue of infringement of national sovereignty.
Regarding the dispute over the management rights of the cross-border road, the governments of several sectors chose to negotiate peacefully, and the result was delayed until the end of 1949. The area of No. 76 Jisifeier Road, in a legal sense, was in the Fahua District of Shanghai at that time. At this time, it should be under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government of Wang and Puppets.
After the Wang Puppet regime came to power, with the support and instigation of the Japanese, the No. 76 spies and the Wang Puppet police made patrols for the police power in this area and the Ministry of Industry Bureau stationed on the cross-border road. There have been dozens of small-scale armed conflicts. During the period, more than a dozen Indians and Chinese arrests in the concession were killed and wounded. They stole guns and ammunition from police officers on duty, and even gathered a crowd to destroy the police station set up on Wuding Road in the Jing'an arrest room of the Ministry of Industry.
In history, because the European War had broken out at that time, the armed forces of the concession were transferred to Southeast Asia in large numbers, and the hearts of the people in the concession were fluctuating. The Ministry of Industry had no choice but to compromise with the Wang Puppet and gave up half of the jurisdiction over the cross-border section. The Wang Puppet and the concession authorities sent personnel to form a joint special police force to handle police work on cross-border sections. In fact, at this time, the management power of the cross-border road construction area has basically fallen into the hands of the 76th and the Wang Puppet City Government.
On the 76th, the secret agents gathered the pseudo police and did whatever they wanted in this high-end residential area, which was once an inch of money. They bought the 76th at a very small price or even occupied it for free in the name of government expropriation. After driving away the original homeowners and tenants in the large bungalow villa area near No. 2, Li Shiqun, Ding Mocun and others, according to the size and grade of the house, allocated their spy chiefs and their families to live. This was really normal in the isolated island of Shanghai at that time. Most of the homeowners were wealthy businessmen in Shanghai who had a face, a face and a family. They sang and danced every day. They really existed like porcelain, so most of them only If you can admit that you are unlucky, how can you dare to get entangled with these traitorous running dogs with Hiranomaru printed on their buttocks. There are also some landlords who are government officials, who have already dragged their families to Chongqing, accepting the properties of these people, and the Wang puppet government has no psychological pressure.
"Starting from this intersection and going west to Yidingpan Road, all buildings on these two sides will be searched." The speaker was Major Le Pen, the commander of the French Foreign Corps Xishan (Vietnamese) Infantry Battalion. This He is a tough professional soldier. The creed of his life is to take the initiative to attack. From this point of view, Le Pen is not like a pure French at all. In fact, the major does have a quarter of Italy and four One part of Moroccan ancestry.
Xishan Battalion is a large-scale infantry battalion, with five infantry companies and one cannon company under it, with a total strength of 820 men. At this moment, Le Pen’s foreign corps officers and soldiers were very emotional and morale was high, because when they set off, the French consul general in Shanghai, Aoqi, personally promised that the officers and soldiers who participated in this operation will not only get double salaries this month, but may also get a fortune later Generous bonuses.
The money was taken out by the French Concession Board of Directors. This group has long hated the dregs of No. 76. If the foreign corps can help the French Concession to solve this problem. Trouble, the directors are willing to come out with one hundred thousand French francs to reward all the soldiers participating in the war. At this time, because of Xu Jun's occupation policy, the franc did not depreciate as quickly as in history. With the exchange rate at this time, it was almost 20,000 U.S. dollars, enough to make this group of foreign corps kill their lives.
Of course, this money will not be evenly distributed to everyone, but will be put into the public fund of Xishan Camp. This is used to protect the funds for veterans’ retirement and disability subsidies, because it affects everyone. In the future, they couldn't help but not fight hard.
"All the houses? Sir, we might not have enough troops." Captain Raphael warned.
"Didn't the information provided by the Japanese have an accurate address list? Just follow the addresses on the list and search from house to house." Deputy Battalion Commander Major Roval suggested.
"What if someone hides in the lead house? The above order is not allowed to miss any criminal on the list." Le Pen tapped the fender of the Renault car with his whip.
"Well, you are the sir, then give the order." Roval opened his hands and said he didn't care.
"How much time is left until the attack begins?" Le Pen lowered his head and pulled up his sleeve.
"According to the plan, it should have started now." Roval took off the white tubular military cap and scratched his bare scalp.
The voice of the deputy battalion commander has not yet fallen, and a series of rhythmic dull blasts suddenly sounded in the distance. This movement is obviously not something that ordinary firearms can send.
"It's a machine gun, the Germans are really punctual!" Raphael stood on the back seat of the car excitedly, handing over the pergola to look in the direction of the sound of the gun. Of course, nothing can be seen from this position. .
"Punctuality is a good habit, so let's start here too, for France!" Le Pen pulled out the command knife from his waist.
"For France!" Several officers echoed loudly.
"Car number four, go and kill the turret to the west!" Captain Help put down his binoculars and shouted loudly while holding down the bakelite microphone hung under the headset.
"Fourth understand!" The answer in the headset was clear and loud, and then a 222 armored car began to turn, and drove along the Jisfeier Road to the west, looking for a launching position suitable for machine gun fire.
The gate of No. 76 is connected to the gate tower with angled cornices. At this time, it has become full of holes. The six KK30 cannons fired in a round, let alone an ordinary wooden gate, even if it was replaced by an iron gate. I'm afraid I can't hold it.
The KK30 20mm cannon on the 222 armored vehicle uses 20 rounds of magazines. It is said that Germany has developed a new version that can use a soft belt, and uses 50 rounds of ammunition boxes for Bullets, you can imagine how terrifying suppression firepower will be formed when this thing is fired continuously.
The German army’s use of twenty-round machine gun magazines also has technical reasons. Generally, the barrel diameter of 20 machine guns is larger and the tube wall is relatively thin. At that time, it was considered that after continuous firing, the ammunition would affect the gun. The tube produces an ablation effect. After 20 rounds are fired continuously, the gap between changing the magazine can be used to cool the barrel naturally.
Usually, German armored forces rarely use machine guns to fire continuously, because when the artillery fires continuously, the temperature of the barrel will rise rapidly. If the barrel is deformed due to uneven cooling, the gun will be scrapped. Since the country has begun to equip fifty rounds of ammunition boxes, this proves that there have been new breakthroughs in the craftsmanship and material of the barrel, and the barrel can withstand higher temperatures and pressure than before. However, for the armored reconnaissance platoon of the Tomahawk Group, the replacement of new equipment is still very far away.
Since the cordon was laid, ~IndoMTL.com~ there was no pedestrian traffic on this street suddenly. The roadside vendors around No. 76 were actually secret guards set up by the secret agents’ headquarters. They were the first group to notice the abnormal situation, just because the person in charge was having a meeting in the hall inside, and the small agents outside were also there for a while. Some were inaccurate, and as a result, they lost the last opportunity to report to the 76th ventilation.
When the German and British troops reached Gate 76, they wanted to report, but it was too late. These people are the most inconspicuous young people at the bottom of the secret service organization, but they also have a loyal existence to the organization. When the German SS began to block the road in front of Gate 76, there was a sweet potato seller. The vendor suddenly took out a southern pistol from his arms and wanted to step forward with arms to block it.
As a result, he was overwhelmed to the ground by four or five of his companions before he evened the gun. These people enter on the 76th just to eat a bite of food, and the money they receive every month is not enough to let them die. Some people want to die is their own business, but don't cause so many colleagues to die together.
