Chapter 444
On the artillery position more than 600 meters away from the checkpoint, two mountain cannons, four infantry cannons, and eight mortars were roaring.
Zhou Cheng stood aside and saw that the level was blown up and the artillery fire was blown into ruins without even supporting the first round of artillery fire. His serious face was quickly replaced by a smile.
The Japanese captain's habit of checking the guards before going to bed every day was that he knew from Chen Zhengyu that the artillery troops were ready for battle twenty minutes ago, but Zhou Cheng kept suppressing them from firing.
He had to wait until the Japanese captain climbed to the artillery tower before firing the artillery. If he was lucky enough, killing the Japanese captain with one shot would definitely greatly dampen the morale of the Japanese and puppet troops at the railway station, and would be more conducive to his own capture of the railway station.
Tonight, God is obviously standing on the side of the National Salvation Army.
At about the same time as usual, a large number of Japanese were indeed gathered on the roof of the artillery tower, and there was another Japanese holding a telescope. Zhou Cheng realized that the target he was waiting for had arrived and decisively ordered the artillery to fire.
The result of the shelling made Zhou Cheng feel overjoyed.
He could see clearly that when the shells hit the cannon, the Japanese captain was still on the roof of the cannon, and then the cannon was blown down by the cannon.
No matter how fast the Japanese captain responded, it was impossible for him to run from the roof of the cannon to outside the cannon in one second.
So in the explosion just now, even if the Japanese captain was not killed, he would be seriously injured.
The life and death of the brigade leader was uncertain, and ordinary soldiers were in chaos in the sudden artillery fire. Zhou Cheng immediately ordered the attacking troops to fight out, take advantage of your illness and kill you, and use an unstoppable attitude to attack the level, without giving the Japanese and puppet troops a chance to react.
"Dongdongdongdong...dakdada...comrades, hurry up..."
Amid the dull strafing sound of light and heavy machine guns, more than a hundred soldiers rushed out of their hiding place like wolves and tigers.
The light and dark sentries lurking outside the level have no effect at all.
When they discovered that the National Salvation Army had already begun, it didn't matter whether they were ready to warn them or not.
As soon as they emerged from the lurking nod, they were locked by light and heavy machine guns, and dense bullets flew towards them as if it was raining.
In the level, only a small number of Japanese and puppet troops avoided shelling and entered the position, but it was quite difficult to block the National Savior Army that had already begun to attack.
There are rains of bullets flying everywhere above the head, intertwining each other, forming an airtight firepower net, and if you are not careful, you will be beaten to the head.
Faced with the threat of death that was so close, they could only hide behind the position and tremble, and no matter how the superior cursed, they would not dare to show their heads rashly.
Most of the Japanese and puppet troops at the level were still struggling with artillery fire.
Some people were buried in the artillery tower that was trampled by the bombing, and many people were killed and injured when the rescue captain was killed and injured. Faced with the shells falling from their heads like rain, the surviving soldiers knew that it was safest to lie down, so no one dared to run around in the fire.
Faced with the soldiers of the National Savior Army who were rushing closer and closer, they could only lie in the level and continue to be bombed. They were very anxious but could not move...
The company commander of the third company, Chen Hao, took the lead and rushed to the front of the attacking troops. The guard squad was on the left and right, as if an unstoppable sharp blade was inserted into the level.
"Prepare the grenade..." Chen Hao ordered at the top of his throat when he was more than fifty meters away from the outer position of the level.
Pull out a grenade from your waist and pull the lead while commanding: "Pull the fire, wait three seconds before throwing it out..."
The National Salvation Army seized a large number of Japanese grenades on the battlefield, but when attacking, the soldiers prefer to use grenades with wooden handles.
When attacking forward, throw it out with force. A warrior with good arm strength can throw it out fifty or sixty meters away. An average warrior can throw it out forty or fifty meters away, which is at least ten meters more than using a grenade.
On the battlefield, ten meters of distance means life and death.
The Japanese and puppet troops hiding in the trenches also threw out grenades and grenades at the same time.
Because the throwing distance of grenades is shorter than that of grenades, most of the grenades hit the front of the attacking troops, and only a part of the grenades thrown by the puppet army happened to hit the attacking troops.
On the other hand, more than 80% of the grenades thrown out by the third company hit the Japanese and puppet troops' circular positions.
"Boom..."
The grenades and grenades thrown by the two troops at the opponent exploded almost at the same time.
Because there were more grenades that smashed into the circular positions of the Japanese and puppet troops, and many grenades exploded in the air, the Japanese and puppet troops, which had few positions, were directly bombed to a large extent.
More than 20 people were killed or injured in the third company, but the main force was thrown in.
Chen Hao raised the box cannon again and continued to launch an assault on the level under the cover of grenades...
In the train station, the Japanese and puppet troops without a leader were also in chaos.
After confirming that the level was attacked and the captain was also at the level, the deputy captain of the third brigade had to take two infantry squadrons to reinforce the level and bring the captain back.
But as soon as this request was put forward, it was rejected by the captain of the Fourth Brigade.
Although there are only more than 300 people left in the Fourth Battalion, the rank of the captain is the master, and the rank of the deputy captain of the Fourth Battalion is the captain. He is a senior official and he is killed by the Japanese army, which is even more so.
Even if the deputy captain held several times more troops than the Fourth Battalion, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of the Grand Captain.
The only thing I can do is to use the captain who is in the level as a shield, force the captain of the fourth team to let go, and agree to mobilize troops to reinforce the level.
Otherwise, when the captain Ono Nakasa withdraws from the train station, the captain of the fourth brigade will definitely be scolded.
I quickly reminded: "Sir, our captain is still at the level. Even if we do not send troops to reinforce the level, we will send someone to take the captain back. If the captain has any accidents there and is injured, we will definitely not be able to take it and leave!"
The captain of the Fourth Brigade was very rational. When he heard the sound of cannons coming from the battlefield, he realized that the level could not stop the attack of the National Saving Army.
No matter how many troops the train station sent to reinforce, it would make no sense. It would also cost the wife and the soldiers, wasting their troops in vain.
Moreover, the National Salvation Army dispatched so many artillery and troops, and it was definitely not just to win a level, but it was likely to continue to work hard to attack the railway station again.
If all the garrisons at the railway station are lost in the battle at the reinforcement level, who will defend the railway station later?
That's why he refused the idea of sending troops to reinforce the level when the deputy captain of the Third Battalion proposed.
But this rejection did not have much confidence, and even had a little concern.
If Ono Nakasa, as the deputy captain said, had an accident at the level and he did not send troops to reinforce him in time, no matter what reason he had, he would wear his shoes when he returned to the train station.
After thinking about it, the captain decided to compromise the two of them and ordered the deputy captain who was anxious: "The artillery fire of the National Salvation Army attacking the level is too strong, and the level will definitely not be able to bear it. You immediately bring a squadron to pick up Onojun and order all the garrisons at the level to retreat to the railway station."
"This is a tactic that Ono Jun and I have already discussed. If the National Salvation Army dispatches its main force to launch an attack on us, the level will only be responsible for early warnings, and by the way, slow down the attack speed of the National Salvation Army and buy us time to defend the railway station!"
The deputy captain felt that a squadron was enough.
The checkpoints were stationed with more than 200 imperial troops and imperial assistant troops. No matter how strong the attack artillery fire of the National Salvation Army was, it would be fine to defend for twenty or thirty minutes.
The receiving troops set off from the train station and marched for ten minutes to kill them.
At that time, the level had not been occupied by the National Savior Army, so I didn't need to fight with the National Savior Army at all. I just took over the captain and retreated.
Immediately received the order: "Thank you for your support, I will definitely bring the captain back intact!"
When more than a hundred Japanese were hurried to the level with the deputy captain, the third company had already followed Chen Hao into the level.
After the arsenal was established, the most in short supply of pistol bullets and submachine gun bullets in the National Salvation Army were finally supplemented. Gone are the days when counting bullets used to count.
After entering the level, Chen Hao held the box cannon in his hand and kept calling out the Japanese who were rushing towards him.
The guards were next to him, some were shooting with rifles, some were holding submachine guns, and some were holding turtle boxes and firing...
Bullets don't have money to greet all the Japanese on the battlefield who can move. The Buddha blocks kill Buddhas and gods block kill gods. It's like entering a state of no one. With one attack, you can kill all the thirty or forty Japanese left at the level.
The surviving puppet army was already scared and frightened. They knelt on the ground, raised their hands, trembling all over, and kept begging for mercy, for fear that the national rescue army, who had been too killed, would also regard themselves as a Japanese.
"Company Commander, a small team of Japanese soldiers came out to the level, and the speed was very fast..." A soldier from the reconnaissance squad ran over to report.
"Company Commander, the Japanese Captain of the Ancestor was killed by our artillery fire. The body was on the ruins of the artillery tower, and the commander's knife was also blown up..." The deputy company commander ran over with excitement.
Chen Hao understood what the Japanese who rushed out of the train station wanted to do as soon as he heard this, and immediately began to shine: "Lao Wang, more than a hundred Japanese who came to the train station, they must not know that we have already won the level and are ready to come and pick up their captain."
"I think we can give them a trick, pretending to be the Japanese and puppet troops in the level to escort the Japanese and puppet troops to retreat to the railway station, and fight an encounter with them on the road."
"A Japanese infantry squadron equipped with nine machine guns, but they are in a marching state, and the vanguard troops are equipped with up to three."
"Our company is equipped with seven machine guns, two submachine guns, five box cannons, plus the two box cannons seized just now, three crooked handles, and the firepower is far greater than that of the Japanese."
"When we get close to the Japanese, we suddenly launch an attack and kill the machine gunners and officers in the team as soon as possible, and then crush them head-on. We will definitely catch the Japanese off guard and fool them."
"When the living Japanese reacted from the condom and wanted to fight back, more than half of the infantry squadrons that came out of the train station had been killed by us, and it was not our opponent to fight back."
Although the deputy company commander is a political cadre, he is also very good at fighting.
After a little thought, I recognized the company commander's idea: "Don't you, this is a squadron Japanese. If we can kill them, the pressure on us to attack the railway station will definitely be greatly reduced!"
"After a while, you will lead the team to the front pretend to be a defeated soldier and fight the Japanese who came out of the railway station. I will take the most casualties in the row to the back to fire the guns and pretend to be a pursuit army to confuse the Japanese!"
"You should try to get closer to the Japanese so that the submachine guns and pistols we equipped can exert their power and give the Japanese troops a fierce fire attack."
Chen Hao nodded immediately: "Just do it like this: the second and third rows of firepower squads, the guard squads, immediately bring the box cannons and light machine guns that had just been seized and rushed to me..."
"The machine gunners lined up in two rows, shooting in the front and back alternately. The bullets in the front were shot on the machine gunners in the back."
"Cathletes and soldiers equipped with submachine guns and pistols are responsible for replenishing firepower!"
"The rifleman prepares the grenades and throws them out after the second row of machine guns are exhausted, so as to give the first row of machine guns more time to load the bullets. After the blowup, the first row of machine guns continues to fire and repeats, when will the Japanese in front be killed and when will we stop shooting?"
