Chapter 102: When did the Eighth Route Equipment become so good?
The Japanese and puppet troops were also confused.
There are strongholds, gun towers, and bunkers outside the city, as well as Japanese and Imperial Alliance troops cleaning the battlefield.
Also, the defenders on the south city wall are all blind?
Are the weapons in their hands and the light and heavy machine guns placed on the city walls all fire sticks?
How could the militants easily capture the southern city wall?
The Japanese and puppet troops did not line up and rush forward together.
Instead, some used bunkers to advance gradually, and some climbed onto the roof, trying to move light and heavy machine guns to the commanding heights to suppress fire.
Some carried sandbags and built them up as a position, setting up light and heavy machine guns, while others were setting up mortars and grenade launchers.
However, what the Japanese and puppet soldiers did could not be hidden from the dozens of eyes on the fifteen-meter-high city wall.
Lu Yingjun and the others had already seen everything the Japanese and puppet troops did.
"Gensheng continues to burn the bunker below!"
"Wang Xikui, Li Changshun, and Cao Jinwang are my artillerymen aiming at the enemy!"
"The rest of you, don't save your ammunition, just risk your life!"
"Hit me!"
The Japanese and puppet troops had entered within 100 meters of the city wall, and Lu Yingjun gave the order to fire without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, intensive gunshots rang out like exploding beans.
Machine guns fired at each other above and below the city, causing sand and rocks to fly. The Japanese's four mortars only made two test fires, and the Japanese's artillery was shot in the head by snipers one after another.
The grenadier soldiers hid behind bunkers and fired grenades at the city wall, but their accuracy was very low.
The team members brought by Lu Yingjun were all equipped with automatic firepower. They also captured eight light and heavy machine guns on the city wall and had sufficient ammunition.
After the snipers killed the Japanese artillery, the Japanese in the city posed little threat to the city wall.
The soldiers hid behind the crenellations of the city wall, inserted the barrels of their guns into the machine gun holes, and fired downwards. They had an excellent view from a high position.
Takeda Nobutada ordered the puppet troops in front and the Japanese troops in the rear to launch an attack on the city wall in an attempt to recapture the city wall.
Under the heavy rain of bullets, the Japanese and puppet troops retreated hastily, leaving behind more than forty corpses.
On the other side of the south city wall, Wang Gensheng and several soldiers moved oil drums from the gun tower and sprinkled the gasoline inside on the two bunkers at the foot of the city.
Then each of them dropped a grenade at the bunker. With a bang, smoke and fire burst out at the same time, and the bunker instantly burst into flames.
Wang Gensheng and others spilled a lot of gasoline, and some flowed into the bunker along the shooting holes, and the fire gradually spread to the inside of the bunker.
Soon, the Japanese and puppet soldiers inside could not bear the scorching heat and ran out of the bunker one after another.
Wang Gensheng and the soldiers used submachine guns to call the Japanese and puppet soldiers one by one on the city wall.
"Stop shooting!" Lu Yingjun shouted loudly as he watched the Japanese and puppet troops being repelled.
Sixty pairs of sharp eyes stared at the escaping Japanese and puppet soldiers, their eyes filled with murderous intent, like sixty cheetahs.
The more than thirty members of the Sharp Sword Special Forces are all warrior kings, and the more than twenty commandos are all elite veterans of the new regiment.
With sophisticated weapons, sufficient ammunition, and favorable terrain, the combat effectiveness unleashed is undoubtedly terrifying.
"Captain, if you ask me, let's just rush into the city and kill all these Japs and puppet troops to save us the trouble." Wei Dayong cursed.
"No!" Lu Yingjun's tone left no room for doubt, "The order given to us by the regiment leader is to guard the south city wall. An order is an order!"
"This task is too easy." Wei Dayong curled his lips disdainfully.
Lu Yingjun said.
"The group leader naturally has the group leader's considerations."
"Our equipment is good, and the individual combat effectiveness of our soldiers is indeed high."
"But if we, No. 60, abandon the city wall and enter the city, we will start a street fight with the Japanese."
"The Japs still have troops outside the city. They can use the phone to directly mobilize troops from outside the city to join forces. Then we will be attacked from both sides."
"Besides, the enemies in the city can divide their forces, go out through other city gates, and then go around from the south gate to come behind us."
"Even if we divide our forces, with some defending the city wall and some going into the city to fight the enemy in the streets, our troops are too small and it will only increase our casualties."
"The head of the group has said that we will not do any loss-making business."
When Wei Dayong heard that there were so many more Dao in it, he immediately nodded and said: "I understand!"
Lu Yingjun patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder, walked back, and used a telescope to observe the direction of Nanzhuang Village.
Standing on the city wall, I saw smoke filling the sky in the direction of the Nanzhuang Village stronghold. It seemed that the main force of the new group had arrived.
At the same time, Nanzhuang Village stronghold.
Li Yunlong has arrived with his troops.
After Sun Desheng led the temporary cavalry battalion to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops cleaning the battlefield outside, he dismounted and attacked the Nanzhuang Village stronghold.
The attacking force almost succeeded, but fell short due to the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.
Takeda Nobutada ordered most of the Japanese and puppet troops in the artillery towers and bunkers outside the city to support the Nanzhuang Village stronghold.
Takeda knew very well that the Nanzhuang Village stronghold was a barrier to the county seat. Once the Nanzhuang Village stronghold was lost, the Eighth Route Army could march straight in and capture the county seat.
Li Yunlong bowed to the forward position of Nanzhuang Village, where Sun Desheng was directing the battle.
"Sun Desheng, please report the situation." Li Yunlong raised the telescope and looked at it and asked.
"Report to the captain, originally there were not many enemies in the stronghold, and we almost succeeded, but the enemy's reinforcements came quickly and my attacking troops were repulsed." Sun Desheng replied.
Li Yunlong nodded.
Although the temporary cavalry battalion has relatively strong light machine gun firepower and two 60mm mortars, it is still very difficult to storm this stronghold.
When enemy reinforcements arrived, there was no way it could be taken down without more than 100 casualties.
"Set up the machine guns and the 92nd Infantry Cannon for me!" a rough voice yelled.
At the rear, Wang Chengzhu immediately said: "The gun mount, the gun wheel, and the cradle, quickly take them off and put them on this rack!"
Following the orders of Li Yunlong and Wang Chengzhu, more than a dozen soldiers installed the infantry cannon's mount, gun wheel and cradle on horseback at the location designated by Wang Chengzhu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The removal of parts and installation are done in one go, and it takes less than 4 minutes in total.
Since the capture of the Type 92 infantry gun, the soldiers in charge of the squad have practiced this set of actions countless times and are very familiar with it.
About 4 minutes later, a complete Type 92 infantry gun stood on the preset artillery position.
As for the four machine guns, they were dragged directly from Jianshan Tsui by military horses and had already been aimed at the bunker of the stronghold.
Both machine guns and infantry guns were positioned 800 meters away from the stronghold.
This distance can almost ignore the enemy's rifle, and even the Type 92 heavy machine gun can hardly hit anyone.
Although machine guns and infantry guns have protective shields, they also need to protect against Japanese grenades.
The enemy cannot hit them, but machine guns and infantry guns can easily hit the enemy's defenses at this distance.
"Report to captain, the Eighth Route Army has machine guns and infantry guns!"
The sentry observing at the top of the turret passed the news to the Japanese second lieutenant.
"Nani?"
"Machine guns and infantry guns?"
The Japanese second lieutenant exclaimed on the spot.
The Japs' field troops are also equipped with Type 98 machine guns for air defense, so many Japs are familiar with machine guns.
I know the machine gun, so I know its power very well.
The Japs are very familiar with the 92 Infantry Artillery. It is one of the best supporting firepower for infantry.
Can these small turrets and bunkers withstand repeated bombardments from machine guns and 92nd Infantry Artillery?
Damn it, when did Tubalu's equipment become so good?
The Japanese second lieutenant hurriedly grabbed the phone on the table, quickly shook the handle, and then put the phone to his ear: "Moxi Moxi, please call the military police headquarters immediately!"
But Takeshima Suda's phone was also very busy at this time, and there was a blind beeping signal that the line was busy.
County seat, military police headquarters.
Takeshima Suda was on the phone, and the person talking to him was Tsuda Mitake, the commander of the Japanese Fourth Brigade in Yangquan.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared and occupied the south city wall!"
"The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is very fierce, and they all use automatic firepower!"
"Neither the military police nor the Imperial Army led by me captured it."
"According to reports from the Nanzhuang Village stronghold, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have also appeared there and are besieging the Nanzhuang Village stronghold."
"Current signs indicate that the Eighth Route Army is likely to attack the county on a large scale!"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please provide tactical guidance!"
The so-called request for tactical guidance is a blunt and arrogant statement made by the Japanese army.
This means that the battle situation has exceeded expectations and is beyond what Takeshima Suda can handle, but he does not dare to just walk away.
At this time, you need to find someone with a higher level to take responsibility.
In other words, I have requested tactical guidance, and the next step is to act according to the order. If anything happens again, it will not be my responsibility.
Takeshima Suda was also puzzled. The equipment of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be too good.
The all-automatic firepower made it more difficult to recapture the city wall several times.
"Nani?" Mitake Tsuda asked in shock upon hearing this, "Where is the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment?"
Takeshima Suda quickly said: "The stronghold of Nanzhuang Village was attacked by the Eighth Route Army in the morning. Captain Kuroshima sent the 1st Cavalry Squadron to support. The 1st Cavalry Squadron was completely wiped out by the sudden appearance of the 8th Route Cavalry. Colonel Kuroshima led the main force of the cavalry to pursue it.
The Eighth Route Cavalry has not returned yet!"
"Nani? The 1st Cavalry Squadron was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Cavalry? Kuroshima Morita led his troops to pursue the Eighth Route Cavalry?"
"Baga! Why are you reporting these situations now?"
Mitake Tsuda's first reaction was that the Kuroshima United had fallen into the Eighth Route Army's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
"I thought Colonel Kuroshima would report this to you!" Takeshima Suda said this, but he couldn't help snoring in his heart. Kuroshima Morita went out to pursue the Eighth Route Cavalry without even saying hello. How could I dare to jump over the rank and fight?
His little report? Isn’t that a slap in the face to Colonel Kuroshima? Colonel Kuroshima will reap the rewards when he comes back?
Mitake Tsuda was also yelling at that idiot Kuroshima Morita. He couldn't even figure out such a simple plan to lure a tiger away from the mountain?
Mitake Tsuda asked: "How many troops does the Eighth Route Army have? What equipment?"
