Chapter 220(2/2)
The self-propelled artillery received orders from the front from time to time and bombarded newly discovered targets.
The 120mm howitzer is better, as ground fortifications and gun shelters can provide some protection.
The 155mm howitzer can't be protected.
The Ming army bombarded places suspected of having underground fortifications. Sometimes they were successful, and the underground fortifications were destroyed with one shot.
The Hebrews hiding inside, as well as supplies and ammunition, were all buried alive six to seven meters deep underground.
On the battlefield, no one can dig them out.
What is even more frightening is that against tactical targets, the Ming army will also dispatch small rocket launchers to carry out covering fire.
For example, whenever the Hebrew ammunition supply point is discovered, it will be covered and fired by small rocket launchers.
In the morning, an ammunition accumulation point was destroyed. The mushroom cloud caused by the explosion of the ammunition was two hundred meters high.
Everything within a few kilometers was engulfed in thick smoke.
Those who didn't know better thought the Hebrews used chlorine gas bombs, and the Ming army was so frightened that they hurriedly put on gas masks.
The tanks and infantry fighting vehicles also stopped advancing, and only resumed the attack after seeing the color of the smoke.
It was this delay that prevented the Hebrews' second-line position from being broken through.
Otherwise, the tracks of the First Cavalry Division would have already rolled over the Hebrews' second-line position and began to attack the third-line position.
While they were eating, hundreds of Hebrew soldiers walked out of the trenches with white flags raised.
The first few people who came out were knocked down by snipers, but the people behind them still walked out resolutely.
You may die if you come out, but you will definitely die if you hide in the trenches.
The Ming army will not run into the trenches and shoot at you, or fight with bayonets.
They would only throw grenades into the trenches. The Ming army's grenades were not only big, but also very powerful.
After the explosion, shrapnel flew everywhere, and even if you were a god, you wouldn't be able to hide in the small trench.
This morning, they saw too many comrades in the trenches, blown up like sieves by grenade shrapnel.
This is the first organized Hebrew company to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Except for the deputy company commander and a few soldiers who were killed, all the members are here, including the logistics cooks.
The Ming army generally did not massacre prisoners for the simple reason that these prisoners were money.
You can sell it to Daming's mines and let them mine and make money in the mines.
The general environment in the mine is not very good.
Moreover, mining disasters occur frequently in these places, and the mortality rate is very high.
As long as people in the Ming Dynasty had food to eat, they didn't like to do such work, but someone still had to do such work, so letting prisoners of war do it became an inevitable choice.
No one cares about these aliens when they are alive, and they are buried in pits when they are dead.
If you capture a Ming man to work in a mine, if he is caught, it will be a crime of beheading and confiscating his family. But the death of a foreign prisoner of war in the mine is not much different from the death of a cat or a dog.
The only troublesome thing may be that you need to dig a hole to bury them.
Ming Dynasty has no time to take over these prisoners now, they have to continue to attack the third line of defense.
The attack distance set by Man Ye for them is twenty kilometers a day, and they must complete the task assigned by Man Ye no matter what.
Therefore, all these Hebrew prisoners of war were given to the Russian troops who followed behind to guard them.
After these Hebrews were handed over to the Russian army, the Ming army continued to attack.
A Russian officer came over and gave each Hebrew prisoner a cigarette.
The Hebrew captives smoked cigarettes greedily. Since cigarettes became popular, more than half of the men in the world have become addicted to cigarettes.
The Hebrews were no exception. Among their military supplies, cigarettes were a very important item.
Russian officers even helped them light the fire themselves!
The Hebrews were very grateful to the Russian officer and waved to him to express their gratitude.
The company commander raised his hand and saluted him.
But when the company commander lowered his hand, the sound of the Maxim heavy machine gun also rang out.
Bullets rained down on the prisoners of war, and the unprepared prisoners were immediately beaten to pieces.
Maxim's gun sprayed blue smoke, and bullet craters continued to fall to the ground.
The Russian officer made a cross with his hand: "My family in heaven, I have finally avenged you."
This Russian officer's family was massacred during the Hebrew occupation.
His only sister was also captured by the Hebrews and raped to death.
He was the only one who managed to escape and walked in the woods for a month before returning to Russia.
His only purpose in joining the Russian army was to kill Hebrews.
Regardless of whether they are surrendered or otherwise, as long as they are Hebrews, it does not matter whether they are old people, children, or women.
In short, all Hebrews will die.
They showed no mercy when they killed their own family members.
The Hebrews finally tasted the bitter fruits of their unscrupulous killings. There are many such Russian officers in the Russian army.
They all lived on a farm in Ukraine. When the Hebrews came, they not only drove them all away, but also massacred their families.
Now, almost every Russian has a heart for revenge beating in his chest.
As a result, the shooting of prisoners of war continued.
When night fell and the Ming army had advanced to the front of the third line of defense, Man Ye knew that all the more than 3,000 Hebrew prisoners of war captured today had been tortured and killed by the Russian army.
After receiving the news, Mr. Man just smiled and said nothing. He just said that these Russian troops should be punished to clear mines.
After all, they were advancing too fast. There were still a large number of landmines on both sides of the road that had not been cleared. These landmines were so dangerous that the Ming army was always worried about peeing on the roadside, for fear of being blown up by the landmines.
