Chapter 404, Exposing Ability
Three o’clock at night, this was the time when normal people were most likely to get sleepy, but Zhang Xiaoman did not take any chances that the enemy would sleep at this time, it was just that under the cover of night, it would be easier for them to break through the enemy’s machine gun position.
Zhang Xiaoman led the Sharp Knives Company to quietly feel their way forward, they couldn’t approach Shichuan Town hastily because there must be machine guns waiting behind the windows there.
The effective range of heavy machine guns is usually between 1,000 and 2,000 meters, and some of them even blow up to 3,000 or 5,000 meters, but in fact, once the range exceeds 500 meters, most of the machine guns will lose their accuracy, and whether or not they can hit someone depends on luck.
Zhang Xiaoman, on the other hand, set up mortars at the extreme distance of 2.9 kilometers from Shichuan Town, intending to knock out the outermost buildings of Shichuan Town.
They didn’t need the mortars to cause much of a kill, they just needed to knock down the buildings, reduce them to rubble, and turn them into natural defense bunkers, so that the soldiers would have a chance to get close to Shichuan Town.
Ren Xiaosu watched as Jiao Xiao Chen skillfully adjusted the elevation angle of the mortar, and he suddenly asked, “What’s the scariest part of an alley battle?”
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, “Every room with a window has the potential to become an enemy position.”
“Then can’t we just bulldoze all the houses,” Ren Xiaosu said.
Zhang Xiaoman was all happy, “That’s easy for you to say, how can we bulldoze it, how many shells would be wasted?!”
Ren Xiaosu didn’t say anything, he was hesitating to take the steam train and run it over directly, it would hurt for sure, but he felt that this way would be very useful, after all, those old buildings couldn’t bear the impact of the steam train at all.
What was completely impossible for Zhang Xiaoman and the others was just one of the optional ways for Ren Xiaosu.
However, Ren Xiaosu thought about it, this was not the only way he could attack, it was better to be conservative for now, after all, the steam train ramming into the buildings would probably make him vomit blood again from the pain.
At this time, Jiao Xiao Chen said from the side, “Company Commander, our side is ready!”
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the second company and their side, then whispered, “Other than Jiao Xiao Chen and the others who are here to cover with mortars, the others follow me and feel their way forward, Jiao Xiao Chen, you remember, don’t ever let the enemy in Shichuan Town reorganize an effective defense on the periphery, give me a hard hit!”
What Zhang Xiaoman is most worried about now is that it will take some time for them to break through three kilometers, and by then the enemy can completely reorganize to block their entry into Shichuan town.
So Jiao Xiao Chen’s accuracy with this mortar hit became key.
Jiao Xiao Chen was in a bit of a bind: “Company Commander, this distance is too far, and once I fire this mortar, the opposite side’s artillery will surely have to come over, and I’ll have to change places too.”
“Then I don’t care,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “Our lives are in your hands!”
With that, Zhang Xiaoman led his men forward, Ren Xiaosu followed closely beside him, and Jiao Xiao Chen’s head began to hurt at the back!
Behind them came the sound of mortars being fired, the Sharpshooter Company now had 6 mortars, and at the same time they were striking their shells towards Shichuan Town.
After the firing Jiao Xiao Chen anxiously yells, “Run, run, run, change places and fight again!”
The soldiers of the entire Pointed Sword Company all monkeyed around carrying the mortar barrels and ran, fearing that the Shichuan Town’s artillery would use them as targets.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, “Wouldn’t we have to readjust the angle and range if we change places, would that delay things?”
“No,” Zhang Xiaoman said, “Jiao Xiao Chen is the best at this, no one in the entire army is better than him.”
The mortars would never be able to operate like this because they would have to adjust the angle for half a day if they changed places, but Jiao Xiao Chen’s skill in this area gave the Pointed Dagger Company the ability to roam around, and a lot of the combat teams that had come to dig up Jiao Xiao Chen before had been turned back by Zhou Yinglong.
While talking, the second round of mortar shells have once again flown to Shichuan Town, Ren Xiaosu watched the outermost houses of Shichuan Town all collapse into rubble, becoming a bunker for the sharp knife company.
And Shichuan town of a few guns, also began to cover the area suspected of mortar positions, but Jiao Xiao Chen has long led people to run ……
This is indeed a masterpiece ……
Ren Xiaosu pondered, “Jiao Xiao Chen’s masterpiece is awesome, how did he practice it?”
“Fear of death, so I practiced it hard ……,” Zhang Xiaoman gasped.
The enemy in Shichuan Town, seeing a mortar attack, immediately had soldiers moving from the inner circle to the periphery, wanting to re-establish a new line of defense.
However, the first squad led by Jiao Xiao Chen had actually set up another mortar, and the third round of shelling coincided with the enemy’s route of travel, which had actually stopped the group of enemies all on the road!
Once, when the Company of Swords was bragging over dinner, someone said it would be great if we all became transcendentalists, and Jiao Xiao Chen said that if he were a transcendentalist, it would definitely be less effort to carry a mortar on his back…….
Zhang Xiaoman and Jiao Xiaochen don’t have any transcendental abilities, they just use their own diligence and hard work, and they have become an indispensable part of the vanguard battalion and the sharp knife company.
At this time Zhang Xiaoman they were already close to the ruins, he looked up and glanced at Shichuan Town, at this time not far away there is a small two-story building standing, behind the black hole window can not see in the end there is no enemy.
If there is a heavy machine gun mounted inside, I am afraid that the sharp knife company will have to die a lot of people.
But if people die, then there is no war? The war itself is to die!
He lowered his voice and roared, “Those who are not afraid of death follow me to raid over, be careful of that second story window …….”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Ren Xiaosu beside him holding a grenade in his hand, and then stuck his hand into a black shadowy door.
A second later, fire suddenly erupted from the window he had just been worried about, and a rumbling sound came out as a huge plume of smoke and dust lifted out of that window, as well as the screams of Zong’s soldiers!
Zhang Xiaoman froze, “What the hell kind of ability is this?!”
However, he saw Ren Xiaosu’s footsteps not stopping as he ran towards the ruins, “Give me a word if you think that place is dangerous, as long as it’s within the range of one kilometer, let me take care of it.”
Zhang Xiaoman was shocked at that time, the most dangerous thing about alleyway warfare was that it was difficult to tackle the enemy behind the window during a short fight.
But Ren Xiaosu this ability, as if born to be the nemesis of alley warfare in general, never mind how deep you hide, as long as the suspicion that there is an enemy inside, directly pass a grenade to you ……
In the past, the sharp knife company to fight the alley battle is the most headache, because they take the alley battle nothing too good way, can only rely on Jiao Xiaochen long-distance firepower suppression hard fight.
But now it is different, they don’t have to be afraid!
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly asked, “Wait, before Guanshan and Dingyuan Mountain didn’t find any grenades, it was collected by your kid right ……”
Ren Xiaosu just wanted to explain something, only to have Zhang Xiaoman say, “No need to explain! You don’t need to secretly hide the grenades you captured in the future, it’s all yours!”
