Chapter 72 encountering a tough stubble
It turned out that this stronghold was attacked by scattered soldiers of the Jinsui Army at the beginning of its establishment.
Although the stronghold was not captured in the end, Tanaka, the highest commander of the Japanese army in the stronghold, was still shocked.
So the next day, he captured more than a hundred young and strong people in the surrounding villages, and under the command of the puppet army, he built the three-story running building in front of him.
After running away, although the stronghold was attacked by two more scattered soldiers of the Jinsui Army, Lieutenant Nakata, who was condescending to the command, easily defeated the attackers with machine guns, and killed and injured more than 100 Jinsui Army.
With this military merit, Nakata's military rank was directly transformed from a lieutenant to a captain and was promoted to a squadron leader.
Because the supplementary troops of the wing expansion brigade had not arrived yet, the wing headquarters only added a heavy machine gun squad and a mortar squad for him. Once the supplementary troops arrived, the Japanese army at the Guanliang stronghold would be directly expanded into a squadron.
The promotion of military rank, the expansion of the troops, and the headquarters even strengthened the promotion of the 92 style and a mortar as a reward. These all made Captain Nakata full of confidence in his future.
In addition to being happy, the puppet army specially asked the puppet army to find two beautiful wives from the villages around the stronghold to come back, so that they could be more casual and celebrate.
The Japanese army was full of confidence, but Wang Ping frowned.
Mortars are very powerful, but that is for soldiers exposed to artillery fire. They have little destructive power to fortifications and the masonry muzzles in front of them.
The three mortars equipped by the artillery platoon will blow up a little skin on the artillery tower unless the shells are directly shot into the running building.
However, after finally rushing here, Wang Ping was unwilling to accept it if he didn't fight.
After some hesitation, Wang Ping finally decided to attack. Maybe he was lucky and could show the Japanese flaws in the next battle, so as to capture the Guanliang stronghold in one fell swoop.
作为一个同时装备有迫击炮和重机枪的据点,王平肯定,鬼子在据点囤积的装备和物资一定很多.独立营扩编在及,无论是装备还是其他物资,甚至于鬼子过冬的军装,都是王平急需的,如果有机会拿下据点,王平肯定不会放过.
“还是老规矩,二连正面强攻,三连从后面动进攻.鬼子有跑楼,进攻的时候不要给我节约子弹,两挺机枪盯一个射击孔,确保压制住炮楼里的鬼子!”王平沉着一张脸直接开始下命令!
“炮兵排,盯着鬼子跑楼给我轰,争取给我把炮楼轰踏.还有,鬼子也装备了迫击炮,不出意外就架在炮楼顶上,所以,进攻开始后,必须用最短时间敲掉它,不让它开炮!”
"You three sharpshooters are looking for fighter planes to hunt down the Japanese and puppet army officers. As for ordinary puppet army soldiers, if you can, don't kill them. Maybe in a few days, they will become our comrades!"
"Everything... Wooah..." As soon as three dull sounds of cannonballs came out of the air, the screams of shells passing through the sky rang over the battlefield.
三秒钟不到,鬼子跑楼顶上就爆出一团橘红色火球,特别刺眼.然后就是炮楼前面和右面,跟着爆出一团火球,最后才是三声剧烈的爆炸传到独立营将士耳朵.
Because the distance is too far, Wang Ping can't see clearly what was born on the roof of the artillery tower.
But the two lights arranged by the Japanese on the roof of the artillery tower were instantly turned off, which made Wang Ping very sure that the artillery bombardment just now was effective.
The gunner next to the three mortars fine-tuned the firing angle and was about to stuff the second shell into the barrel, and the six grenade launchers equipped by the two companies also fired.
Because their strong artillery tower could not cause damage, the six grenade launchers wisely chose to attack the Japanese and puppet troops around the stronghold.
The violent sound of cannons broke the silence of the battlefield and woke up all the Japanese and puppet troops in their sleep, including the squadron leader Captain Nakata.
"Where did the enemy from Baga come from? They are even equipped with mortars!" Nakata, who was sleeping on the second floor of the artillery tower, was awakened when he heard a violent explosion above his head, and then he asked loudly at his slightly panicked subordinates around him.
"I don't know who it is, but the enemy is equipped with at least three mortars and five grenade launchers, and is carrying out artillery fire strikes on us!" A second lieutenant hurried over and reported.
Nakata was furious and shocked and scolded loudly: "Bageyalu, why are you panic? We also have mortars and grenade launchers. Order artillery and grenade launchers to counterattack immediately. The others are ready for battle. As soon as the enemy appears, we will destroy them with machine guns. We are running in the building, and the enemies outside can't do anything to us!"
"In addition, order the troops and puppet troops outside the stronghold to remain unmoved. As long as we repel the enemy's attack, we will immediately counterattack and eliminate the enemy who dares to attack us!"
After the order was given, the chaos in the artillery tower was obviously much better.
Three crooked handles and one heavy machine gun are respectively placed in four directions of the second floor of the artillery tower, ready to shoot at any time. As for other positions, there are two to three rifles next to each shooting hole, holding a rifle, and looking like shooting out at any time.
Nakata nodded with satisfaction, then calmly put on his military uniform and prepared to command the defensive battle himself.
At this time, the second lieutenant who had just left rushed over and reported with a worried look on his face, "Captain, our mortars and grenade launchers on the roof of the artillery tower were blown up and we could not fight back!"
Nakata was stunned at first, but soon reacted and scolded loudly: "What a panic? Without the mortar, we still have light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades, and we can still defend the stronghold!"
"Our artillery tower is very strong, and the mortar will definitely not be destroyed. As long as the artillery tower is not destroyed, we can defend the stronghold with the artillery tower and defeat the enemies who want to attack us!"
Under the violent shelling, the Japanese and puppet army strongholds were not in chaos. Faced with this situation, Wang Ping frowned even deeper and realized that he had encountered a tough problem.
"Try attacking first!" Wang Ping, who had no other way, ordered decisively.
Zhang Yunshan next to him nodded and ordered: "All light and heavy machine guns are fired, others are covering them, and one squad is on the bottom of the artillery tower and throw the grenade into the shooting hole to kill the Japanese!"
"Dadadada...bangbang..." At the shooting hole, rifle, crooked handle, heavy machine gun that had been prepared, fired together, and the dense bullets instantly caused sparks to splash the Japanese artillery tower.
The shooting hole is too small, far and high, and most of the bullets are shot on the exterior wall of the artillery tower. Few bullets fly into the shooting holes, causing damage to the Japanese.
But such a dense offensive firepower can be used to suppress the Japanese, and they may attract the Japanese counterattack firepower.
As soon as the Second Company fired, a dozen riflemen rushed out.
He bent over, held a rifle, trotted on the S route, and rushed towards the Japanese artillery tower.
Wang Ping stared at the Japanese artillery tower and about ten subordinates.
Captain Nakata, the Japanese devils, was a data eggplant. Perhaps because he had the experience of defeating the scattered soldiers of the Jinsui Army in the first two times, Nakata was particularly confident in the battle in front of him.
As soon as a group of about ten people entered his sight, Nakata excitedly ordered: "Counterattack, shoot immediately, and eliminate the enemy who attacked us!"
Dozens of Japanese hiding in the artillery tower, regardless of the offensive firepower of the Independent Battalion a hundred meters away, shot at a squad against the bullets that might have shot into the shooting hole.
A heavy machine gun, a crooked handle, and six or seven 38 large covers, seven or eight people fell down in the blink of an eye, killing them.
