Furukawa cursed angrily, but had no choice but to move to the anti-artillery fortification of Huting stronghold under the protection of the guards.
The battle situation outside the Huting stronghold came next: "Sir, the Tubal Road being pursued has very sophisticated mechanized combat equipment, including various tanks and motorcycles, in large numbers.
They even installed American-made howitzers on their combat vehicles, which were astonishingly powerful. After our army's reinforcements arrived, they shelled our stronghold."
"Asshole, those damn Tubal Roads, what about now, have those Tubal Roads been withdrawn?"
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army retreated a certain distance, but they did not leave completely!"
What is this?
It's a blatant threat.
Even so, at this moment, I have realized that the plan to use the water supply convoy to lure the Eighth Route Army into an ambush has completely failed.
Furukawa no longer dared to easily send his troops to the Huting stronghold.
The cavalry unit and the tank squad were barely rescued, but the Xiuhe squadron sent out first was still under siege by the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, Furukawa was also at a loss, and felt a bit like he had failed.
The Eighth Route Army's overall blockade of the Huting stronghold this time, coupled with the complete failure of this plan to lure the enemy into battle, Furukawa even has reason to believe that if he blindly sends troops again.
The Eighth Route Army will even take this opportunity to attack the Huting stronghold in one fell swoop.
But Xiu and the squadron cannot ignore it.
The communications troops arrived in a hurry.
"Have you contacted Xiu and the squadron? How is the situation?" Furukawa asked anxiously.
The communications soldier shook his head with a bitter look on his face and said: "Your Majesty, Major, Xiuhe Squadron's communications have been completely interrupted. We have tried many times, but we have never been able to get in touch!"
It is self-evident what this means.
It’s over.
It’s all over.
The originally planned reinforcements for Xiu and the squadron did not arrive in time.
Not long ago, according to the news from Xiuhe Squadron, Xiuhe Squadron was also fooled by the Eighth Route Army. After leaving the defenses on the right bank of the river, it was ambushed by Eighth Route Army troops.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army is likely to attack the Xiuhe Squadron from both lines.
If no new reinforcements arrive, the demise of Xiuhe Squadron is almost certain.
"Call the Communications Department to request tactical guidance from your superiors!"
Although he felt that it was embarrassing that the impregnable Huting stronghold had to take the initiative to ask for help from his superiors, Furukawa still chose to lower his head in order to save Xiuhe squadron.
Unfortunately, the news came quickly.
Ping'an County, Shouyang, Yangquan, Tan County, etc. were too busy to take care of themselves during the winter counterattack launched by the Eighth Route Army, and could not even take care of the Huting stronghold.
Furukawa is completely out of ideas.
He regrets it now. He would not have sent out the Xiuhe Squadron if he had known better. But if he had not done so, the water supply line of the entire Huting stronghold would have been completely cut off by the Eighth Road, and problems would have arisen sooner or later...
We are in a dilemma.
There were also sudden sounds of gunfire, coming from multiple directions in the Huting stronghold.
Furukawa's expression suddenly changed when he heard the news. Soon, the communications troops rushed to report: "Your Majesty, Major, the situation is not good. The Eighth Route Army suddenly launched a fierce attack from the south, south, north and south of my stronghold!"
"Nani???"
Furukawa was dumbfounded. Could it be that these Tuba Road really wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Huting stronghold in one fell swoop?
The Huting stronghold has hoarded a large amount of the empire's military supplies, and also stationed many combat troops. Once it is breached by the Eighth Route Army, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and Furukawa knows this very well.
The defense of the Huting stronghold is the top priority.
"Damn it, notify all the ministries to strengthen defense, and we must not let Tubal Road break through the defense!"
"Notify the reserve troops and be ready for reinforcements at any time!"
"Hi!"
At this time, if you look down from above, you can see that the entire Huting stronghold and the outer lines in the four directions of east, west, north and south are filled with combat troops of the Eighth Route Army.
In the three directions of north, south, south, and south, under Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment were divided into several groups, gradually advancing, and engaging in firefights with the Japanese defenders on the outside.
On the west outer line of the Huting stronghold, after receiving the news from the New Second Regiment of the joint attack on the Huting stronghold.
Wang Shoucheng led his team and hung on the west outer line of the Huting stronghold not far away, constantly putting pressure on the Japanese army.
On the other side, there were no unexpected situations in the battle between Destruction Show and the squadron.
A team of reinforced mechanized combat troops, plus the 1st Company, 3rd Company, and 2nd Company, were attacked from both sides. The remaining 100 or so little Japs in the Hidewa Squadron were quickly wiped out.
Japanese squadron leader Hidewa Ichiro was beaten to a pulp by a machine gun during his desperate resistance.
After the battle ended quickly.
The first company commander, the second company commander and the third company commander led the soldiers to quickly advance westward of the Huting stronghold, combined with other battalion troops, to completely blockade and attack the Huting stronghold.
New Second Regiment Headquarters.
The phone rang, Li Yunlong personally answered the phone, and the voice of his old comrade Kong Jie came from the other end of the phone.
"Old Li, how is the progress of the operation at Huting stronghold?"
Hearing Kong Jie's words, even if it was a military emergency before the war, Li Yunlong couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, you stupid Kong Er, your kid's hand is long enough, just your team, first-class
We haven’t settled the mess yet, why should we, Lao Li, take care of it?"
On the other end of the phone, Kong Jie laughed and said: "Lao Li, just tell me whether my mechanized combat troops are powerful or not?"
"I have to admit, it's the right time!"
Li Yonglong did not deny that if the mechanized combat troops sent by Kong Jie had not arrived in time this time, the operations on the first, second and third companies would have been passive, let alone give him the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on the Huting stronghold.
opportunities.
"Old Li, let's get down to business, what do you want to do next?"
Li Yunlong said: "The little Japs in the Huting stronghold are really cunning. They deliberately sent a water transport unit this time, but it turned out that they were all elite troops disguised. I almost capsized the boat in the ditch.
However, after your reinforcements arrived, Lao Kong, the Japanese combat force has been almost eaten by us.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Coupled with the mechanized combat troops, tank troops and cavalry troops reinforced by the little devils, the casualties were not small.
If everything goes well, maybe with this comprehensive attack, we can capture the Huting stronghold in one fell swoop."
Li Yunlong spoke domineeringly, but on the other side of the phone, Kong Jie was very skeptical about this: "Blow, Lao Li, just keep blowing!
Let me settle the score with you. Even in the current battle, you have already knocked out one of the Japanese combat squadrons, knocked out two of the Japanese tanks, and caused certain casualties to the Japanese mechanized combat squadron.
But as far as I know, even if these losses are eliminated.
In the entire Huting stronghold, the Japanese still have at least two squadrons of field elites, and an artillery squadron.
In addition, the terrain of the Huting stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Japanese have built fortifications all over the east, west, north, and south, and built a large number of concrete structure turrets. Those things cannot be knocked down easily.
Even if you, Lao Li, spend a lot of money to capture the Huting stronghold, you will probably pay a heavy price in casualties in the end!"
"Damn it, you stupid Kong Er, how come you know everything?" Li Yunlong stared and cursed.
Good guy, I am sitting in the regiment headquarters and I have just received these battle news from the front line. This guy Lao Kong turned around and knew it?
Kong Jile said: "Lao Li, don't worry, this news was reported back by my reinforcements."
When the conversation changed, Kong Jie said: "Old Li, who of us is following the other, don't hide it from me, tell me your final battle plan to capture the Huting stronghold!"
"Damn, you are indeed an old comrade!"
Li Yunlong smiled and sighed, and then said: "Old Kong, what you just said is absolutely right. Although the little devil suffered a lot of losses in this confrontation, this tiger is as hard as a bastard's shell."
The Ting stronghold is still difficult to defeat.
We, Lao Li, do not engage in loss-making business. In order to capture the Huting stronghold, it is not cost-effective to cause too many casualties to the troops.
Therefore, if you want to capture the Huting stronghold, you have to take your time. As the old saying goes, if you are anxious, you will not be able to eat hot tofu.
I want to use this all-out attack to completely knock out the enemy's outer turrets first, so that the Japanese can cut off the outer cordon.
Then continue to blockade the Huting stronghold, completely cut off the Japs' water supply lines, and first make the little Japs in the Huting stronghold thirsty for two or three days.
We will find an opportunity later to launch a night attack to avoid the enemy's superior firepower and capture the Huting stronghold in one fell swoop."
Kong Jie smiled: "Let me just say, this is the Lao Li I am familiar with."
Having said this, Kong Jie continued: "So this attack is mainly to destroy the enemy's outer turret warnings.
It's just that this little devil's turret was built with a reinforced concrete structure specifically to deal with the attack artillery of your new second regiment. That thing is not easy to deal with, and conventional attack artillery is difficult to destroy."
Li Yunlong did not deny it. What he said was absolutely correct. He was also troubled by this matter!
This attack is also a trial operation, to see if we can find a way to blow up the Japanese security turrets on the outside.
Kong Jie's voice came next: "Although the Japanese concrete turrets are difficult to destroy, it is not impossible.
Lao Li, the reinforcements I sent you have the means to deal with the Japanese artillery towers.
Consider it a gift from me to my old comrades.
I just agreed, Lao Li, that after the Huting stronghold is captured, you must follow my instructions and put on a good show with the 57th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army."
When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes lit up on the spot.
He immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Lao Kong, we, Lao Li, nail it with every spit, can we not do what we promised you?"
After hanging up the phone.
Li Yunlong immediately asked the Communications Department to contact the headquarters of each battalion to inquire about the specific combat situation on the front line. He was curious about what Kong Jie said about the method of destroying the Japanese concrete turrets.
……
Boom——
These explosions were extremely loud. As the cylinder sprayed out dazzling flames, three to five shells thicker than an arm passed through the air with graceful arcs carrying a destructive aura, followed by several booms.
With a loud noise, it hit the concrete blockhouse built by the Japanese outside the Huting stronghold.
The outer wall of the concrete blockhouse, which was originally as hard as steel, was easily pierced like a piece of tissue paper.
Zhang Dabiao, commander of the First Battalion of the New Second Regiment, who was watching the battle not far away, almost dropped his eyes to the ground when he was glued to the eyepiece of the telescope.
Good guy.
After a few shells were fired, I saw a three-story concrete turret owned by the Japanese a few hundred meters away. A large hole was blown directly from the middle, and then the entire building collapsed.
Gudong——
Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but swallowed, turned around and asked: "Battle Commander Wang, what kind of equipment is this that is so powerful?"
There is no harm without comparison.
Just now, a team of mechanized combat troops arrived and directly destroyed the concrete structure turret with a few rounds of artillery shells.
Zhang Dabiao dispatched his own artillery battalion and even used infantry artillery to fire more than a dozen shells at the gun tower.
But the entire reinforced concrete structure of the blockhouse remained motionless.
It just broke a little bit of the skin.
Seeing that the Type 92 infantry gun, which had always been invincible against the Japanese masonry turrets in the past, now seemed to be tickling the Japanese concrete turrets, Zhang Dabiao had a headache.
According to this rhythm, the task given by the regiment leader - to destroy the enemy's gun towers in other counties may not be that easy.
Then, Wang Shoucheng personally arrived with all the combat troops.
Without saying a word, he directly operated the tank, set up the artillery, and fired several shots at the Japanese turret, directly destroying a turret.
Faced with Zhang Dabiao's surprised look, Wang Shoucheng straightened his chest with some pride and replied: "This is the latest specially developed enhanced version of the rocket launcher from our arsenal. It also fires an increased amount of gunpowder and enhanced armor-breaking capabilities."
Rockets of ability.
It can be understood as an enhanced version of a heavy-duty rocket launcher.
What does it mean?
If we say that the first-generation rocket launcher we produced can deal with the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese, it is as easy as hammering a can.
If we use this heavy-duty rocket launcher to deal with the Japanese's concrete turrets, it will be as easy as hitting an egg with a rock."
Zhang Dabiao: "..."
He wisely chose to remain silent. He originally thought that his new second group had made rapid progress after two years of development.
Sometimes the cadres secretly rejoice, maybe they are not far behind Commander Kong's team.
Now I realize that this is not that far off.
I can barely even see his tail.
This is really a crushing weapon, one force can defeat ten.
Those Japanese concrete turrets look like they are made of paper.
Wang Shoucheng also told Zhang Dabiao: "Our old regiment commander sent us reinforcements this time. On the one hand, we are to reinforce your new second regiment in the battle, and on the other hand, we are mainly responsible for attacking difficult situations.
This heavy-duty rocket launcher is specially used to pull out gun turrets. Our arsenal does not produce many of them. We only brought four here this time.
But it should be no problem to knock out the Japanese outside turrets."
"It's necessary, this is no problem!" Zhang Dabiao blurted out, looking at the tank pulling a heavy rocket launcher not far away, and his eyes could no longer move away.
"Without further delay, Battalion Commander Zhang, let's seize the time and destroy the Japanese outside turrets first!"
