Chapter 1242: Don’t miss this opportunity...kill them all with me
"Buzz buzz..."
An airplane that was circling back and forth in the sky suddenly dived toward the ground.
Battalion Commander Zhang felt nervous, thinking that one of his troops had been exposed.
As a result, the plane dived towards the stronghold.
"Dong dong dong..."
A series of dull heavy machine gun fire sounds suddenly sounded inside the stronghold.
The heavy machine gun mounted on the roof of the stronghold's gun tower actually started firing into the air, and a long string of heavy machine gun bullets flew towards the diving fighter planes in the sky in a fan shape.
"what happened?"
Battalion Commander Zhang's mind was filled with questions: "Why are the planes in the sky swooping down to attack the Japanese and puppet strongholds..."
"Why did the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold shoot at the plane..."
"Aren't they one of our own..."
"But except for the Japs who have planes in North China, I haven't heard of any other troops having planes..."
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
The scream of aerial bombs streaking across the sky soon sounded over the battlefield, and then two fireballs more than ten meters high shot up from the stronghold held by the Japanese and puppet troops, and thick smoke rose from the ground at the same time.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Battalion Commander Zhang took a breath and shouted: "The plane actually launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet army stronghold..."
"Is it possible that the plane in the sky is here to help our Eighth Route Army, and they are our own people?"
The instructor answered with shock: "Old Zhang..."
"If the plane in the sky is here to help us..."
"As long as they help us blow up the stronghold walls, destroy the stronghold turrets, and kill the Japanese artillery, we can hope to enter the stronghold and kill all the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold..."
"I suggest the troops rush out immediately..."
"Let the planes see our posture of attacking the stronghold, bomb the stronghold fiercely, and kill the Japanese and puppet troops inside..."
Battalion Commander Zhang was very moved, but he hesitated when he spoke, shook his head and replied: "Wait a little longer..."
"If the planes in the sky are really here to help us, they will definitely drop more than two aerial bombs..."
"Wait until they land a few more aerial bombs and confirm that the planes in the sky are coming to help us, then the troops will fight out..."
"Prevent the little devils from luring us out through acting and then attacking us with aerial bombs!"
The instructor nodded and replied: "It is indeed possible..."
"Lao Zhang, you are very considerate... Let's wait a little longer, we won't be too late for good food!"
"If the plane in the sky is really ours, if we go out later, they will still help us capture the stronghold..."
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
The scream of aerial bombs streaking across the sky reached Battalion Commander Zhang's ears again.
When they looked up, they saw two huge fireballs rising into the sky, and billowing black smoke rising from the stronghold at the same time. The violent explosion sounded like thunder, reaching their ears after a second or two.
One of the aerial bombs hit the central turret of the stronghold.
The nearly ten-meter-high turret collapsed directly in the explosion and turned into a pile of ruins...
The central turret of the stronghold was blown up, and the planes in the sky could never be little Japs acting out.
Battalion Commander Zhang no longer hesitated, took out the box cannon and walked outside Baogudi. As he walked, he ordered: "All the troops follow me...surround the stronghold and prepare to attack and kill the Japanese and puppet troops inside..."
"Fuck..."
"I wanted to capture this stronghold a year ago, but at that time I only had the strength of a reinforced company..."
"It took a lot of effort to expand the troops into a reinforced battalion. As a result, the number of Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold also expanded from three to four hundred to more than a thousand. The strength is still two or three times that of me..."
"Today we have aircraft support to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold from the sky..."
"This is definitely a rare opportunity for us to seize the stronghold... we must seize it..."
"Let the firepower company take out all the mortars and heavy machine guns..."
"The baggage company sent all our reserve ammunition..."
"After the battle starts, there is no need to save ammunition for me... rush into the stronghold as quickly as possible, eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, and end the battle quickly..."
"The total number of Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold exceeds 1,500, equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and the reserve of various bullets is at least 200,000 rounds..."
"Even if more than half of it is blown up by planes, and we only capture 20 to 30 percent of it, that can still make up for our losses in the battle..."
"As long as our assault speed is fast enough and we don't give the Japanese and puppet troops a chance to destroy weapons and ammunition... maybe we can capture 40 to 50% of the weapons and ammunition..."
Seeing hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops encircling the stronghold on the ground, the planes in the sky seemed to be on a steroids. The more they bombed, the more energetic they became, and they specifically dropped bombs on the crowded areas of the stronghold.
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
Violent explosions resounded across the battlefield again...
A bunker in the southeast corner of the stronghold was instantly blown away, and a huge gap of seven or eight meters wide was blown out along with the wall next to it...
"Battal Commander... the stronghold was blown open by an aircraft..." The company commander under his command instantly showed an eager expression, wishing he could rush into the stronghold through the gap right now.
"What's the hurry?" Battalion Commander Zhang replied calmly.
"Where is this going..."
"There are six planes in the sky, each carrying six aerial bombs, adding up to a total of thirty-six aerial bombs..."
"Now they have dropped less than half of the bombs combined..."
"When they throw thirty-six aerial bombs, at least four or five holes will be blown out of the stronghold wall..."
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
Perhaps to prove what Battalion Commander Zhang said, before he finished his analysis, a new round of explosions had already sounded in the stronghold.
The two aerial bombs did not hit the stronghold wall, but they blew another gun tower in the stronghold into ruins...
"Rumble..."
Thunderous explosions sounded continuously on the battlefield, and soon the stronghold was devastated...
The two to three meter high stronghold wall was also riddled with holes...
"The fire company covers...starts to attack..."
Battalion Commander Zhang raised his box cannon and headed towards the gap closest to him.
"Boom boom boom..."
Four rounds of mortar shells roared in, accurately hitting the gap in the wall that Battalion Commander Zhang wanted to attack.
The bricks and stones shattered by the aerial bombs were blown away again. The Japanese and puppet troops who luckily escaped the aerial bombs were attacked by a second round before they could react, causing a large number of casualties in an instant...
"Da da da……"
Several machine gunners held the light machine guns in their arms and used them as submachine guns. They charged and fired while shooting the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were still alive in the gap and slipped through the net...
"Buzz buzz..."
Not to be outdone, the planes in the sky rushed towards the gap with a huge roar.
This time they did not drop bombs but fired two strings of aviation bullets into the gap.
The thick bullets instantly set off a cloud of dust and smoke at the gap. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops were hit by these bullets, they would be killed or injured and lose their combat effectiveness instantly...
