Volume 1: The Arms Dealer¡¯s Feast Chapter 256: Breaking the Stronghold

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just when Erlongshan was preparing to attack the city, disagreements broke out in the Chengjia village.  The old man of the Cheng family wanted to spend some money to settle the matter.  There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome, there is no hatred that must be defended, and there is no deep grudge between the two sides, so there is no need to fight to the death.

    It¡¯s just that the eldest young master of the Cheng family doesn¡¯t think so. What the eldest young master of the Cheng family thinks is that if the dragon across the river comes to feed each one, what will the men in the nearby mountains and ridges think of the Cheng family - yes, big fat.  A few years ago, the Cheng family only owned one-third of the land in the village and had dozens of long-term workers as villagers.  How about the Cheng family now? The entire village's land has been acquired by the Cheng family in various ways (mainly loan sharking and taxes collected by the Taijun) under the name of the Cheng family. All people in the village, regardless of gender, old or young, belong to the Cheng family.  A long-term tenant, Master Cheng personally trained a hundred or dozens of gunners.

    With the strong support of the Japanese, the equipment is also available.  With such strength, it is one of the best within a hundred miles away, and the bandits with three to four hundred people in the nearby mountains are only seventy or eighty quick guns.  The casino, cigarette shop, and pawn shop opened by the Miles family in the town are all prosperous. With such strength, there is nothing to be afraid of.  Young Master Cheng also found out that the other party was just a passer-by of a hundred people, and there were more than twenty mud-legged people who had recently joined the group.

    "There is nothing to be afraid of. You must know that Master Cheng's fighting skills and marksmanship were taught by the Taijun step by step."

    During the negotiation between the two parties, Mr. Cheng personally fired a shot at the wall of the village just now, which angered Mr. Cheng who was still presiding over the negotiations.  The old and new generations had different ideas and couldn't come to terms with each other. In the end, Mr. Cheng stomped back to the inner village.

    That¡¯s right, the Chengjia Village is divided into two villages: the inner and outer villages.  The earthen fence of the outer village surrounds the houses in the whole village, and the inner village is the big house of the Cheng family.

    The old man left as soon as he left. Anyway, sooner or later the Cheng family belongs to the eldest young master.  Young Master Cheng waved the box cannon in his hand and shouted: "Remember them all. When they charge, I will aim and hit them. Kill each one and give him a bag of white noodles. Those who don't like noodles will get a bag of white rice. Who?  If you dare to escape from the battlefield, the secret of our Cheng family is twenty rings in my hand."

    "I understand." "I know." "Don't dare to embarrass the young master." "This village is also our home. If the young master doesn't reward us, whoever dares to be careless will be punished by heaven and earth."

    Before everyone could finish their words, there was a "whooshing" sound in the air.  Young Master Cheng has been trained step by step by the princes, and he is very familiar with this sound - a grenade.

    This grenade tube is only fifty millimeters in diameter, which is why Asian troops use this thing as a cannon.  Moreover, the Japanese grenade has many inherent shortcomings. First, it has a short range. The maximum range is only 600 meters. This is also the maximum range of the light machine gun. In other words, if the grenade is not arranged on the reverse slope, the light machine gun can suppress it.  Yes, even sharpshooters can do it.  The second major disadvantage of the grenade is that it does not have an aiming device such as a gun scope. When firing, it can only be based on the gunner's feeling and experience. In other words, except for veterans, novices cannot shoot accurately with a grenade.

    "However, this is artillery after all, and there is nothing wrong with Chengjia Village.

    Jin Batian also taught some tricks when teaching the people in Erlongshan how to use grenades.  For example, the maximum range of the grenade is not 600 meters. When hitting a fixed target, first visually detect the position of 500 to 600 meters and then adjust the grenade to 45 degrees. This must be the maximum range.  It's easy to say that it's a first hit.

    Half of the dozen or so grenade shells landed not far outside the village.  A few of them landed on the city wall, and a few fell in the stockade.

    ??????????????????????????¡­

    The gunners of the Cheng family did not expect that this group would use such a powerful weapon as soon as they came up, and they all fled from their respective guard positions. The loyal ones remembered to protect Young Master Cheng and go to the inner village first. More  It's just running around, hiding and hiding. This cannonball doesn't have a long eye, and it might destroy someone at a certain point.

    After firing one round, more than a dozen grenades in Erlongshan adjusted their angles and fired a second round. More 50mm grenades fell on the wall of the village and the shells exploded and injured people in the village. This further triggered Cheng's anger.  Chaos in the village.

    Looking at the chaos of the Cheng family's gunners on the wall from a distance, Yun Zhonglong, the leader of the family, was very satisfied: "Speaking of which, there are still artillery that can be used to attack the city. Hahaha, charge me, don't fight*.  Save it for me."

    The three rounds of bombardment prepared were not used and were replaced by two rounds. Dozens of bandits from Erlong Mountain, led by their respective leaders, rushed towards the Chengjia stockade.

    Although the Chengjia Village has built high walls and solid gates over the decades to prevent bandits and theft, it is a pity that they are no longer useful.  The artillerymen of the Cheng family who were supposed to be guarding here did not know where they had gone. At this time, the eldest young master of the Cheng family was also firing the cannons of the Cheng family.He was helped and pulled down and ran to the inner village.

    It only took a few minutes to see that the stockade outside the Cheng family had been taken down. Seeing this, the old man of the Cheng family said with hatred: "You traitor, if you fail to succeed, you will fail. Tell me, what have you learned?"

    Young Master Cheng said with lingering fear: "Who knew they brought so many cannons? I heard that the sound was at least as strong as the grenades of a reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army. How can our small earthen fence stop them?"

    Mr. Cheng said: "Then what do you think now?"

    Young Master Cheng was also wilted at this time: "Please ask father to come forward and turn the hostility into friendship, and provide some money and food to send them away."

    "Ahem." Mr. Cheng sighed: "This family has started a fight and destroyed the outer stronghold. I'm afraid it will take a lot of blood to deal with it. The survival of the Cheng family can only be determined today"

    Although the Cheng family is still trying to save money and eliminate disasters, Yun Zhonglong, the head of the family, has long been interested in this village.  Although this place is not a dangerous place, the terrain is flat and extends in all directions. It can be used as a base for the tunnel warfare in the guerrilla warfare mentioned by Coach Jin.  Coach Jin also sang a song for the tunnel war, which was very inspiring. However, the boss had a few too many drinks at the time and failed to remember the lyrics.

    After the Erlongshan guerrillas used cluster grenades to break through the gate of the outer village, they began to capture prisoners within the outer village. Others shouted slogans such as "No going out, be careful with guns." to control the situation.

    Dozens of minutes later, the outer village of Chengjia Village was completely controlled by the Erlongshan guerrillas. Thirty-four gunners were captured. Only the bodies of four gunners and one seriously wounded person were found in the outer village - that is to say, five gunners were captured.  The casualties caused the Cheng family to lose its outer stronghold. The combat effectiveness of the Cheng family's stronghold was also impressive.

    Faced with the invitations and calls from the inner village, the leader simply ignored them and directly ordered the subordinates to set up a dozen crooked light machine guns and shoot at key parts such as the main gate, machine gun turret, and so on.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The gate of the inner village was not blown open with a cluster grenade. Instead, after the sound of machine gunfire stopped, someone shouted "spare your life" and opened the gate on their own.  The huge Chengjia village was defeated by the Erlongshan guerrillas in less than half an hour.  (To be continued.
