Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police
Chapter 699 Crisis
"Da da da da da da.!"
This sudden, sonorous and powerful roar with a metallic roar was like a spear of revenge piercing out from the abyss of despair, instantly tearing through the silence after the artillery fire!
The sound came from deep in the mudflat, a few dozen meters behind the high tide line, behind a low wall barely built up with mud bags, gravel and twisted truck steel plates!
It's the Maxim! A Type 30 heavy machine gun!
There were at least six more on this brigade's direct position! They had miraculously survived the devastating naval artillery fire just now!
The machine gunners had obviously been holding on to their weapons tightly during the bombardment. At this moment, they were like evil spirits crawling out of a pool of blood in hell, covered in mud and blood, with hideous faces, and they were using all their strength to operate this heavy steel weapon!
A nearly one-meter-long orange-red flame spurted out from the muzzle!
The hot shell casings poured out from the ejection port like a rainstorm, making a "sizzling" sound when they hit the mud and water.
The 7.92mm steel core heavy bullet, with a whistling sound that tears through the air, weaves into a visible, scorching metal storm at a terrifying firing rate of nearly 600 rounds per minute!
The target was less than 500 meters away from the beach and was sprinting at full speed, with the bow almost hitting the first wave of Japanese medium landing craft on the shallows!
"Puff puff puff!"
The dense rain of bullets first hit the iron hull of the bow of a landing craft that was rushing in the front!
Countless bowl-sized dents were instantly gouged into the hard steel, and sparks flew everywhere!
The bullet penetrated the thin hull and bounced and rolled wildly in the small and crowded cabin!
The Japanese soldiers huddled together in the boat were instantly in trouble!
"Ugh!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Medic! Where's the medic?"
"Navy! Where is the navy's gun cover!!!"
The shrill screams and terrified Japanese shouts instantly drowned out the roar of the engine!
A blood mist exploded in the dim cabin!
The bullets easily tore through the human body, penetrated the helmet, and shattered the bones!
A sergeant who was standing at the hatch, waving his saber to urge the soldiers to prepare for landing, had his upper body hit by an invisible hammer and was thrown backwards. A horrible bloody hole exploded in his chest, and his saber flew out of his hand and was nailed to the cabin wall, making a buzzing sound.
The soldiers behind him fell down in groups like cut wheat, and their blood instantly dyed the cold water at the bottom of the cabin red.
The ricochets wreaked havoc in the narrow space, causing even more terrifying secondary casualties.
The soldiers who were lucky enough to survive huddled in the corner in fear, trying to find any possible shelter, but there was nowhere to escape in this iron cage!
“Bang…Bang…Bang…Bang…!”
Almost at the same time as the heavy machine gun opened fire, a mortar shell was fired from a slightly farther distance!
That’s the 82mm mortar of the brigade’s artillery team!
The gun position was set up behind a simple shelter consisting of several collapsed mud bags and half of the wreckage of a fishing boat.
The gunner was obviously experienced, and he worked hard to complete the setup and aiming during the intervals between shellings.
A shell, with its unique sharp yet dull whistling sound, drew a low arc and landed precisely on the beach less than two meters to the left of a small landing craft that had just entered the shallow water and was about to lower the bow gangplank!
"boom.!"
Columns of sand shot up into the sky! The shock wave from the explosion slammed into the fragile side of the landing craft, causing it to shake violently and nearly capsize!
The flying shrapnel was like the scythe of the god of death, sweeping across the exposed Japanese soldiers and sailors on the landing craft!
“Wow…!”
The screams were drowned out by the sound of the explosion. Several Japanese sailors standing at the stern of the boat operating the ropes were torn to pieces by the high-speed flying shrapnel. The broken limbs and arms mixed with internal organs were thrown into the turbid sea water.
The engine cover at the stern of the boat was hit by a large piece of shrapnel, making a harsh sound of metal twisting, a puff of black smoke came out, and the roar of the engine instantly became hoarse and weak.
The speed of the boat slowed down significantly and it was spinning in place. The surviving soldiers in the boat looked at the thick smoke at the stern and the seawater that kept seeping in with horror and fell into chaos.
This sudden and fierce counterattack from the ruins on the beach was like a basin of ice water, poured heavily on the heads of the Japanese landing troops that were rushing towards them with great momentum!
The boats in the front were stunned instantly!
The bullet holes on the hull, the blood mist exploding inside the cabin, the holes blown open on the side, the engine failure, the soldiers’ screams of terror…
All of this was clearly conveyed to the group of landing craft that were charging behind!
"Baga! The Chinese army still has heavy firepower!"
"Suppress them! Suppress them quickly!"
"What the hell are you doing with the Navy?! Why aren't you firing back?!"
"Speed up! Charge forward! Crush them!"
After a brief panic, the commanders of the Japanese boats let out hysterical roars.
They couldn't understand how it was possible for there to be an organized heavy weapons counterattack on the beach under such a devastating bombardment just now?
This is beyond their understanding!
However, on the beachhead, Zhou Zhenqiang's heart sank to the bottom.
He lay in the ruins of a half-collapsed machine gun bunker, staring at the sea through his telescope.
He saw the fire and blood mist created by Maxim's strafing on the enemy boats, and the water columns raised by the mortar shells and the chaos on the enemy boats.
But this short-lived "result" brought not joy, but deeper despair.
"Ammunition! How much heavy firepower ammunition do we have?!" he asked a panicked brigade staff officer next to him.
"Report to the brigade commander! Each machine gun only has three belts!" The staff officer's voice was hoarse and trembling.
"Where are the shells?"
"Not many! Only, less than two hundred shells! Brigade Commander, the brothers in the baggage train can only carry this much with their own manpower!"
Zhou Zhenqiang gritted his teeth and immediately ordered, "Our situation here is so critical. The blocking areas defended by the regiments below must be even more difficult. Inform the supply trucks in the rear to deliver machine gun ammunition and artillery shells to the positions."
Upon hearing this, the staff officer became anxious: "Reconsider, Commander... If we send the trucks over now, if the Japanese planes and artillery find us, then all our efforts to hide the supply team will be in vain!
The car is full of bullets and shells. If it encounters artillery fire or air bombs, it may be destroyed on the way, and we won’t be able to get a single bullet!
We can still hold on for a while now, but if the subsequent supplies are destroyed, we will be finished!
"I think we should assign some more men to carry out the transportation in a dispersed manner! This will be safer," the staff officer advised anxiously.
"It's too late... We must ensure that heavy firepower continues to attack..."
Just when Zhou Zhenqiang and his staff were discussing whether to send the supply trucks in the rear to transport heavy firepower and ammunition.
Zhou Zhenqiang felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
I suddenly looked up at the sky and saw a group of Japanese fighter planes swarming in from the sea. This time they were not reconnaissance planes with only a little self-defense firepower, but a group of Japanese carrier-based fighter planes!!!
“Woo… woooo…!”
A head-splitting dive roar sounded!
One after another, the Iron Vultures, their engines roaring, dived towards the heavy machine gun and mortar positions that had just been exposed!
"Hide!!" Zhou Zhenqiang's eyes were bloodshot and he issued a heartbreaking warning.
But it's too late!
