Chapter 551 Only fools don’t want it (second update)
Only then did the squadron leader remember to call Baoding City to report the bad news of the attack on the stronghold.
I walked towards the desk despite the pain from the wound, but the turret collapsed just half way.
"Boom boom boom..."
Six fireballs also shot up in the open space in front of the barracks, and six mortars brought by Huang Yu joined the battle in time.
The stronghold was attacked. The troops had just rushed out of the barracks and happened to gather in this open space. The mortars were blasted accurately...
This is flat ground again, without even a hiding spot. The flying shell fragments are like a steel storm, flying everywhere in the air, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Japanese and puppet troops...
In the blink of an eye, ten or twenty Japanese and puppet troops fell around the impact point.
"Boom boom boom..."
The rate of fire of the mortars was very fast. Before the third round of shells from the mountain cannon was fired, the second round of mortar shells had already been knocked down. Many Japanese and puppet troops were blown up here...
Outside the stronghold, when he saw the Japanese gun towers being called out one by one by two mountain cannons, and the bunker with shooting holes being blown into a pile of ruins in the explosion, Huang Yong suddenly became anxious and hurried to Huang Yu to ask for a fight.
In order to understand the battle situation on the front line as soon as possible, Kong Jie divided all the radio stations so that he could sit in front of the enemy's headquarters and remotely command all participating troops.
"Let the artillery continue bombing. It's best to kill all the Japanese in the stronghold."
The troops won two major victories in a row, and also captured Shunping County. A total of five radio stations were seized, which was enough for the garrison regiment, three main battalions, and the Du Er Regiment.
"Our garrison cannot always have only this small number of troops and artillery..."
The grenadier soldiers following the attacking force join the battle at the same time.
"Not only can it make up for the battle losses, but there is also a lot left over!"
Their shooting accuracy is far inferior to that of the Japs. In head-to-head encounters, three grenade launchers are no match for one of the Japs.
Huang Yong understood and patted his head and said: "It's really like this... No wonder the trophies I captured in previous battles were very few. It turned out that they were all consumed by the Japanese in the battle!"
Without strongholds and Japanese support, they were just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The first thing they thought of was to save their lives.
"Although the troops save on artillery shells, they will also capture less, and they will lose a lot of troops in the battle!"
"Captain, can we charge? If we continue the bombing, all the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold will be blown up!"
Huang Yu finally found a chance to speak, and when he saw Huang Yong said firmly: "You have to learn to adapt even if you don't adapt!"
Huang Yu smiled and asked, "Then you still want to attack now?"
The previous Duer Brigade had only one radio station, which was left over when the Duer Brigade was downsized. It was good or bad, and no one knew when it would be abandoned.
"No more attacks..." Huang Yong shook his head like a rattle: "You are a fool to let out artillery fire support and let the infantry fight the Japanese with rifles and machine guns!"
"Dong dong dong..."
"Boom boom boom..."
From the moment the shell exploded, the Japanese soldiers with a little common sense knew that the stronghold could not be defended.
"Captain Huang, don't worry... Our regimental commander has a principle in fighting: enemies who can be defeated with artillery shells will never use bullets, and enemies who can be defeated with bullets and grenades will never use bayonets!"
But it’s no problem to use it against a group of infantry hiding in the ruins!
Under the dual firepower of heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, the remaining Japs in the stronghold had to turn into cowering turtles.
The Seventh Company, which reached the vicinity of the stronghold, immediately launched an attack. Before the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops could react from the artillery fire, they got as close to the stronghold as possible and crossed the deep ditch dug by the Japanese around the stronghold.
In less than two minutes, all the turrets and bunkers that could be seen with the naked eye were destroyed by mountain artillery. The clearings and surface positions of the stronghold were also hit by dozens of mortar shells. There was filled with gunpowder smoke, gray dust and rising smoke everywhere.
Thick smoke billows.
"A Japs are equipped with one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition as standard. If the artillery kills a Japs, the ammunition on his body will not be consumed, and in the end it will all fall into our hands!"
Duan Peng understood Huang Yu's style of play best and replied with a smile: "It would be great if we could really use artillery shells to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold!"
"When it develops further in the future, maybe each main battalion will be equipped with a veritable artillery company. At that time, the troops must learn how to cooperate with infantry and artillery... Otherwise, how can you, the battalion commander, do your job alone!"
"If we use conventional tactics and send infantry to attack the stronghold... the battle will definitely last for a long time. Even if the Japanese don't blow up the ammunition depot, a long battle will consume a lot of artillery shells."
Several soldiers who crossed the deep ditch fell to the ground. The other soldiers were not affected at all. They held their guns, bent down, and continued to attack forward, running faster and faster...
The two Japanese devils have long since become a coward.
"Our Eighth Route Army cannot make artillery shells. All the artillery shells in our hands are captured, and one shot is missing... I used to be economical in the past, but the regiment commander suddenly provided us with such fierce artillery support, and suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable..."
Holding his head and hiding in the ruins, letting the bullets fly above his head, he refused to get up no matter how the Japanese shouted, as if he would be a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army at any time.
After a while, more than a dozen wooden ladders were set up on the deep ditch. The soldiers stepped on the wooden ladders and continued to attack forward. It was only then that chaotic gunshots rang out from the stronghold.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the radio signal light suddenly flashed, which meant that there was a signal input, and the operator quickly put on his headphones.
"They just captured the Black Fort stronghold in Wangdu County, killed 63 little Japs, 19 puppet soldiers, captured 84 puppet soldiers, and seized one heavy machine gun, four light machine guns, 139 rifles, and more than 15,000
Fire all kinds of bullets..."
Huang Yong looked embarrassed and said: "Aren't I afraid of wasting cannonballs?"
"What a good deal... I realize now that I lost a lot of money fighting the Japanese in the past!"
After a while, the translated telegram appeared in Kong Jie's hand: "Commander, successful report from Commander Deng of the Second Battalion!"
"Captain is helping you reduce your casualties, why don't you know what's good and what's good!"
The heavy machine guns mounted behind the attacking troops joined the battle. Wherever there was gunfire, bullets rained down on them, trying to suppress the remaining Japanese and puppet troops behind the ruins as much as possible. They could not raise their heads to shoot, thus reducing the pressure on the attacking troops to attack.
Kong Jie has changed the headquarters of the Pingyang Town Garrison Regiment into the former enemy headquarters of the Duer Regiment, and has been guarding the radio station since dark.
"As for the artillery shells you are worried about...as long as we fight resolutely and end the battle as quickly as possible, so that the Japanese have no time to destroy the artillery and supporting artillery shells they are equipped with, the troops can capture them for their own use!"
"Well done!" Kong Jie excitedly slapped the telegram on the table, picked up a pencil, and drew a cross on the Black Fort stronghold on the map.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the second good news appeared in Kong Jie's hand: "Captain, good news from the third battalion..."
"They just captured a Japanese medium-sized stronghold, annihilated more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops, captured 126 puppet troops, and seized one mortar, one heavy machine gun, eight light machine guns, six grenade launchers, and 26
Eighteen rifles, eighty artillery shells, nearly 30,000 rounds of various bullets..."
