Chapter 45
These two 40-pound aerial bombs came from the second fighter jet. Although the first furious fighter jet also dropped the aerial bombs when it was hit by the anti-aircraft machine gun, it missed the hit, but passed by and landed on the ground. A few meters to the northeast of the building.

Although people in later generations usually call this small aerial bomb "sweet potato", in fact, even a 40-pound aerial bomb has a charge of 8 kg, which is equivalent to a 150 mm grenade.

High-speed fragments scattered and splashed, and at least ten officers and soldiers of the second team who were transferring the wounded were hit and fell to the ground, and the shock wave also overturned a group of people.

"I'll fuck him!" From Zhou Changfeng's perspective, the hit fighter was deliberately attacking the wounded team. He pointed to the east and shouted: "Xue Can! Send a platoon to get that dog thing for me!" Catch it back!"

At this time, the Vincent bomber also flew over the building after a circle, and a 500-pound aerial bomb fell heavily.

"boom!"

Concrete fragments scattered and splashed, and after the deafening explosion, the overwhelmed building finally couldn't hold on, and collapsed with a clattering sound, and gray smoke filled the air.

Second Lieutenant Pereira stumbled today, he really didn't expect to be shot down so soon.

During the air strikes a few days ago, no matter he had never been attacked head-on, the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground only hit a few shuttles to remind these pilots not to be too arrogant, but just now...

In fact, a total of six 12.8mm bullets hit the Fury Fighter of No.40 Squadron [-] of the British Indian Air Force. Tracer rounds, instant-explosive rounds.

Among them, the 640-horsepower liquid-cooled engine produced by Rolls-Royce, which was hit by an armor-piercing projectile and a fire-piercing projectile, immediately exploded and shut down, and the whole aircraft suddenly became a glider.

Although Second Lieutenant Pereira tried his best to let the biplane fly far to the south, because the height of the previous dive attack was too low, it can't fly very far at all now. Parachuting from a height of tens of meters is courting death. He can only Maneuver the plane for forced landing.

A dozen or so soldiers of the Ming army who arrived in two "requisitioned" civilian trucks quickly caught the tall British man. They searched the flight briefing and the map in the driver's seat, and then escorted Pereira away. got in the car.

On the way back, they encountered a British-Indian combat patrol trying to rescue the pilot. Although there were more than [-] people in the latter, they were hundreds of meters apart. The driving soldiers stepped on the accelerator and the two trucks drove away in a flash .

As soon as he saw Pereira, Zhou Changfeng went up with an uppercut and shouted in English: "Why attack the wounded?! Can a blind British man be a pilot?!"

Pereira, who was punched at the meeting, was stunned on the spot, "Wounded? I attacked an anti-aircraft machine gun."

"Fuck you! Need me to show you around?"

"Sir, I think this is a misunderstanding..."

The furious Zhou Changfeng said and grabbed his collar again, "Who knows what your subjective thoughts are? The fact is that you killed the wounded! Do you still want to be treated as a prisoner of war?"

Seeing Zhou Changfeng pull out his pistol, Second Lieutenant Pereira was terrified. He couldn't help but swear that he was all focused on the anti-aircraft machine gun upstairs, and he almost knelt down when he didn't notice the wounded were evacuating downstairs. After coming down and kowtowing, he reluctantly let him put the pistol back into the holster.

In order to destroy the solid fire support point of the hospital building, our side also lost a fighter jet?

Although a little helpless, Major General Wilson breathed a sigh of relief after pulling out the biggest nail.

In his view, the next step is to resolutely divide and encircle these Chinese troops. They will collapse in a few hours, and he immediately ordered to continue the attack.

As a result, the British and Indian troops who had retreated to the edge of the city had to get ready again, and walked into the ruins that terrified them.

"Now that there is no building as a key stronghold, it will be difficult for the enemy to continue their three-way attack later."

"It's not a big problem. It's not long before it gets dark. They can organize another wave of attack at most. Don't worry even if they are divided and surrounded. They should fight calmly and stay where they are. They should retreat at night."

Zhou Changfeng and a team of deputy captains were leaning against a Carden-Lloyd ultra-light tank that was still emitting black smoke. After it was hit by anti-war guns, the driver probably panicked and stepped on the accelerator for a while. Rush out dozens of meters away.

Just as the few of them were giving orders to adjust the positions of obstacles and firepower points, the whistling sound of shells suddenly came from their ears?
After being bombarded for several days, everyone is all too familiar with the sound of the shells flying through the air.If the shells of the cannons landed near him, there would be almost no time to react, and the shells would explode as soon as they heard the sound; but if they passed overhead, they would hear a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

But what they hear now is a relatively low "哧—" sound, which is not harsh. It is the sound of a 76.2mm mortar shell.

"Lie down!"

The bodies of several people had just leaned forward, and a mortar shell landed more than ten meters away.

After a dozen rumbling explosions, this short round of shelling is gone?Several officers and soldiers next to him looked left and right to confirm that the shelling had stopped before planning to get up.

Zhou Changfeng, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up, but suddenly found that he couldn't exert himself?Only now did he feel the pain hit.

Xiao Li exclaimed: "Battalion Commander!!!"

A corporal also yelled sharply, "Grass...medical soldier! Damn! Get over here!"

Zhou Changfeng, whose consciousness was blurred, only felt that he was being carried on a stretcher, and then he moved unsteadily, followed by continuous bandaging, and the sound of people's hurried conversation could be faintly heard in his ears.

After a while, he felt a needle stuck in his arm, and soon the bursts of pain disappeared without a trace.

After a while, when he fully regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he saw Xie Wancheng and Xiao Li leaning beside him.

The latter said with emotion: "You are really lucky, Battalion Commander!" After speaking, he handed Zhou Changfeng an enamel water cup, which contained the fragments of the jade pendant and the fragment that had been taken out.

A total of three high-speed fragments hit Zhou Changfeng before, one hit the helmet and was blown away, and the dent left by it was impressively visible, and the other cut a hole on his left arm, but it was not deep.

The last fragment that was supposed to be fatal hit his chest, but was blocked by the jade pendant Xia Xiaoshi gave—after the delicate jade pendant was smashed to pieces, the fragments with greatly weakened kinetic energy were at the end of their strength, and finally Only embedded in the flesh.

"That place happened to be the heart, luckily I didn't get through it, it's really a hair's breadth." Xie Wancheng said with a look of fear.
