7o

As soon as more than a dozen Japanese gangs rushed to the barracks, a violent explosion rang behind them.

Two shells exploded two large holes on the roof of the barracks, and one shell directly hit the barracks and exploded, blowing up the four Japanese who had not yet rushed out.

"Kill me!" There were still more than a dozen Japanese soldiers left, holding rifles and shouting slogans, as if they were being stimulant, and yelling at the door of the stronghold.

The second company commander Zhang Yunshan was stunned at first, and then immediately understood.

"The Japanese are fighting hard, fighting with us with their lives. Never let them rush over! Shoot immediately, sweep with machine guns, and the machine gunners quickly shoot and kill them all!"

"Dadada..." Two tilted sluts who were closest to fired first, and more than ten nearby 38-large hoods also fired. In just a few seconds, more than a dozen Japanese were beaten into hornet's nests.

"Roar in and destroy the remaining enemies! Comrades, follow me!" Zhang Yunshan shouted loudly, waving the Mauser pistol in his hand, and then rushed into the Japanese stronghold.

"Run!" Dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers, holding rifles and holding crooked hands, rushed into the stronghold.

The dozens of puppet troops trapped in the barracks took the initiative to throw their weapons out of the barracks before Zhang Yunshan rushed over, and then walked out of the barracks with their heads in their arms, shouting for surrender while walking, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would shoot them to death!

With the help of the surrendered puppet troops, the battlefield was cleaned very quickly.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yunshan rushed to the Japanese squad leader's command center with a smile.

Seeing that Wang Ping was staring at the Japanese map, Zhang Yunshan couldn't stop it, but he was so excited that he still reported it after enduring it for a few minutes.

"Battery Commander, the results of the battle have been counted. A total of 78 Japanese soldiers were all destroyed. One hundred and six puppet troops, 28 were killed, and all the remaining were captured. We sacrificed 13 comrades and three were seriously injured, but we used up 24 shells and forty-eight grenades. Fortunately, we seized more than fifty grenades at the Japanese stronghold, otherwise we would have used up all the grenades we brought!"

"In addition, we also seized a heavy machine gun, two crooked handles, two grenade tubes, 54 38 large covers, 92 old sleeves for puppet military, nine of which are intact, and they can be used with them. The remaining weapons, including two crooked handles, one grenade tube, and twenty or thirty rifles, were all blown into parts during the battle!"

Wang Ping was not unhappy because his thoughts were interrupted and answered very satisfied: "The ammunition was used a little more, but there were fewer casualties, which was more cost-effective than anything else!"

At first, Zhang Yunshan did not agree with this view. As an old Red Army, he used to hard life, but now he suddenly asked him not to take into account ammunition consumption when fighting. In his opinion, it was no different from a prodigal son.

Take the battle in front of you as an example. Three mortars, six grenade launchers, a heavy machine gun, nine crooked handles, and a large amount of ammunition against dozens of Japanese independent battalions.

This is enough to put it into other main forces, which is enough to fight a medium-sized battle, and the independent battalion can be described as the word "luxury".

However, it has to be admitted that in the face of such powerful firepower, even the invincible Japanese elites can only be passively beaten.

The results and casualties of the battle in front of us can only be described as miracle when it comes to other troops, and it cannot be achieved at all. However, the independent battalion did it, and it has been done more than once.

Faced with one miraculous battle after another, he was defeated by battalion commander Wang Ping, Zhang Yunshan gradually recognized this view of firepower being the first priority on the battlefield. A battle that can be solved with cannons will never be used to use machine guns. A battle that can be solved with machine guns will never be used to use rifles. A battle that can be solved with rifles will never be used to fight with bayonets!

Zhang Yunshan accepted this way of combat, let alone the squad leader and ordinary soldiers below.

For them, as long as they can win a big victory and reduce casualties in the army, it is a good strategy.

Wang Ping didn't know that his combat style and combat methods had already been deeply rooted in the Independent Battalion and was accepted by everyone. After nodding to Zhang Yunshan, he turned his attention to the map hanging on the wall!

Then, without waiting for Zhang Yunshan to speak, he ordered: "Let everyone hurry up and take out some of the seized cans to replenish the soldiers' physical strength. We will continue to do so in three hours at most!"

"Battery Commander, are there any Japanese going to fight again?" Thinking of Wang Ping staring at the map just now, Zhang Yunshan's eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

Wang Ping nodded and replied: "You just said that we used a lot of mortar shells and they were not captured. I, Wang Ping, never do business at a loss when fighting. I, must find a way to replenish the used shells in the next battle. Otherwise, we would have to have a total of 150 shells that could not support several battles!"

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye. While the soldiers of the Independent Battalion who had eaten and drunk enough were still resting and replenishing their energy, several company platoon leaders had been called to the original Japanese squad leader's office.

After looking at the Japanese watch seized from his wrist, Wang Ping did not hesitate and directly ordered: "In half an hour, the troops will start to act!"

"Guard platoon!"

"Come!" Zhong Yusheng stood up with anticipation, then stared at Wang Ping with a longing look on his face, hoping that Wang Ping could give him the best task.

Wang Ping waved his hand and replied: "Don't be too excited. Your mission is to stay in Wu Town, watch over the prisoners and captures, and then block Wu Town until twelve o'clock tonight. As soon as the time comes, you will immediately take the capture and capture to Zhangjiawan and meet with the instructors!"

"The second company, the third company, the artillery platoon, brought all the equipment and ammunition to attack the Japanese army's Guanliang stronghold. According to the map, a Japanese reinforcement squad and a company of puppet troops stationed here, not only equipped with heavy machine guns, but also a mortar team. As long as we can take down this stronghold, the shells we used can be replenished."

The three of them stood up with excitement and replied: "Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed!"

Although the Independent Battalion had cut off the telephone line from Wuzhen to the county before the attack, Laiyuan City did not receive any news of Wuzhen being attacked. However, the sound of gunfire still reached the ears of the Japanese and puppet troops in several surrounding strongholds.

Also because the gunfire lasted not too long and was looming, it was not clear that the Japanese and puppet troops at these strongholds did not send anyone to Wuzhen to check.

However, after dawn, the Japanese from two strongholds contacted the county town and reported the sound of gunfire they heard.

The staff of the Japanese Army Headquarters in Laiyuan City did not dare to neglect them and immediately contacted the Wuzhen stronghold, but it was definitely not possible to contact them.

"Nani, the contact between Wuzhen strongholds was interrupted, and guns and cannons were heard last night! Could it be that Wuzhen strongholds were also attacked by the Eighth Route Army? It shouldn't be that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is in Shuiquan Village, how could it appear in Wuzhen dozens of miles away at once?" After hearing the report from his subordinates, the Chief of Staff frowned and muttered to himself.

Because this matter is related to the security of a stronghold and the real strength of the Eighth Route Army in Laiyuan. The Chief of Staff did not dare to neglect and immediately sent a scout to Wuzhen to investigate.
