In fact, after Liu Wanyun was arrested, Lingzhi's staff and the agents in the inner factory discussed and decided to let her send back a false message, that is, the H3B brigade took a long way for reinforcements, and no other troops rushed directly to Demaji. area.
In fact, everyone didn't have much hope for this, because there were two teams that attacked the Nujiang Steel Cable Suspension Bridge at that time, and the other team headed by "Hoffman and his wife" had been completely wiped out and could not send back the message.
There is no news from one party, but the other party is safe and sound and continues to pass on information? This is obviously suspicious.
But it doesn't matter. Even if the British become suspicious, it can confuse their judgment and buy some time.
However, MI6 received news from another informant that was exactly the opposite - the leading troops of the H3 Brigade were already galloping across the mountainous area for reinforcements, so be sure to pay attention.
The two are contradictory, and MI6 cannot tell who is true and who is false for a while.
On the contrary, they were even more suspicious of the informant's intelligence. How could it be possible to cross a mountainous area of nearly 120 miles in two days? What's more, a lightly-armed unit of several hundred people can't stop Wilson's task force of five or six thousand people no matter how hard they try.
In the evening of that day, more than 300 officers and soldiers who had fallen behind finally arrived one after another.
Looking at a tired and tired sergeant, Zhou Changfeng waved his hand and ordered: "Separate according to the units you belong to, and then return to the team quickly."
The fully-staffed battalion originally numbered 800 people, plus a temporarily strengthened team, the total number was nearly 1,000 people, and now they were finally here.
What reassured him the most was the arrival of the anti-aircraft platoon, because the four 40-centimeter caliber, or 12.8mm, anti-aircraft machine guns they were equipped with were definitely powerful weapons. However, because they were relatively bulky, the anti-aircraft platoon had a hard time getting rid of them. Bring to.
It was finalized and installed in the 31st year of Zhichang. It has a long-stroke piston gas-operated automatic principle, a locking iron lift and a lock. The gun body weighs 71 kilograms, the anti-aircraft tripod weighs 96 kilograms, and 75 rounds of non-split ammunition are supplied by a chain. The theoretical rate of fire is 500 rounds per minute; it can fire a series of large-caliber ammunition including ordinary bullets, armor-piercing bullets, armor-piercing incendiary bullets, tracer bullets, and instantaneous explosive bombs.
"Deploy to the window and pick your own fighting position."
"yes."
Zhou Changfeng was playing with a huge 12.8×96mm bullet. The warhead was painted purple, indicating that it was an instant explosive bomb with a small amount of explosives filled inside the warhead. Due to its complex structure and high cost, this type of bullet is usually only available in large-caliber bullets. After all, there is no point in filling small-caliber bullets with a little explosive.
The Ming Army was unique in distinguishing bullet colors. For example, armor-piercing bullets were black in all countries in the world, but the Ming Army used silver-white; in addition, incendiary bombs were red and tracer bullets were yellow.
What I have to say is that in terms of the core of armor-piercing bullets, no one dares to call the Ming Dynasty the first. The Ming army usually only uses steel-core armor-piercing bullets during training. The front-line units are basically issued with steel-core armor-piercing bullets. Tungsten core armor-piercing bullets, even a wealthy country on the other side of the ocean dare not waste so much.
[At the same time, in the original plane, the crew of the No. 4 tank looked at the precious Pzgr.40 tungsten core APCR and cried.jpg]
At this time, Zhou Changfeng suddenly thought that these anti-aircraft machine guns did not seem to have pre-installed anti-armor ammunition chains, so he reminded: "By the way, you take out a separate ammunition chain, then disassemble a loose ammunition box, and follow the instructions of two armor-piercing rounds, two rounds The combination of an incendiary bomb and an instant burst bomb can create a whole chain of ammunition."
Armor piercing, burning, and blasting can be completed instantly. He is a hero among heavy machine guns. Zhou Changfeng can already foresee the wonderful scene of enemy tanks being turned into bonfires soon.
The sun was setting in the west, and the clouds in the sky were dyed golden yellow by the rays of light. It was really sad to watch such a beautiful scenery in the spare time of a fierce battle.
The rumble of artillery started again. This time, the British and Indian artillery began to fire at the Zero Heights and the urban area of Dimaji at the same time. Howitzers, mountain cannons, mortars, tank guns, and dozens of artillery of different calibers poured shells in the air defense. The officers and soldiers in the hospital building felt that the whole building was shaking slightly.
Under the cover of continuous artillery fire, two companies of Raigar Battalion, accompanied by five A9 cruise tanks and eight Carden-Loyd ultra-light tanks, rushed towards the open area between Highland Zero and the city. Come.
At the same time, the two companies of the Natipur Battalion quietly circled northward under the cover of smoke, trying to enter the contiguous woods in the north of the city and establish a solid stronghold there to further contain the city's defenders.
The Hyderabad Battalion was deployed at the offensive starting position, ready to respond to friendly forces at any time, and to assist friendly forces in attacking with heavy machine gun and mortar firepower.
Although the deployment of the British and Indian troops was basically very different from what Zhou Changfeng had guessed, such a large posture also made him feel a little unsure.
You must know that the enemy in front of you still has a complete Gurkha regiment (battalion) that has not been dispatched. It is said that this unit composed of warriors from the Gorkha region has very good combat effectiveness?
Zhou Changfeng doesn't like to underestimate his opponents. Even if he only goes by the rumored figures of 70% or 80%, this Gurkha battalion must be treated with caution.
"The enemy tank detachment is approaching at a constant speed! One thousand meters!" the soldier holding the rangefinder shouted loudly.
The SANY 12.8×96mm tungsten core armor-piercing bullet can penetrate 25mm rolled steel plate at a distance of 400 meters; the armor-piercing incendiary bomb is slightly lower, about 21mm.
Since the bullet cannot hit the target tank vertically under ideal conditions, the actual penetration depth is not that high, and it has to be fired closer.
The main shooter of the anti-aircraft machine gun placed his thumbs on the indented "trigger", while the deputy shooter next to him held the ammunition chain with both hands. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the dozens of tanks slowly approaching in the distance. and followed by hundreds of enemy troops.
Artillery shells continued to fall near the building, and even a 4.5-inch grenade directly hit the building. After the violent explosion, there were screams of the wounded.
Time seems to be extremely long. The distance of 500 meters takes half a cup of tea?
Following Zhou Changfeng's order, the artillery platoon's four 80mm mortars immediately fired four rapid rounds, and the heavy machine guns also opened fire immediately.
"First hit the head! Then hit the tail!"
As required, the anti-aircraft machine gun team first concentrated fire on a cruise tank at the front.
This tank was well prepared. It had piled some sandbags and debris on the outside of the tank as additional protection, so everyone aimed at its tracks or sides and fired.
Bullets containing more than 15,000 joules flew out at high speed and penetrated the weak armor! The first tank that was hit by four anti-aircraft machine guns was turned into a hornet's nest in the blink of an eye. The tank body was covered with dense bullet holes and bullet marks, which was particularly scary.
Its turret had just rotated a small half circle before it stopped moving, and wisps of black smoke came out of various gaps and holes.
Immediately afterwards, the last tank also met this end.
The other tanks that reacted immediately fired back, with 2-pound high-explosive shells flying one after another. The Vickers heavy machine gun mounted on the ultra-light tank also fired wildly at the building.
Zhou Changfeng was holding a telescope and was about to go down to the third floor. At that moment, a 3.7-inch grenade hit the building, and then a 2-pound high-explosive round accurately passed through a window on the third floor and hit the opposite pillar. There was a loud explosion.
Zhou Changfeng, who had just come down the stairs, was knocked over on the spot. If he hadn't been wearing a helmet, the back of his head would have been enough to hit the steps. He struggled to stand up, and it took him a few seconds to notice the pain.
"Sir!"
"Medic!!!"
