At night, Lu Yingjun lay on the top of the mountain, carefully observing the terrain of the gun tower. Wei Dayong lay beside him, reporting the detected situation to Lu Yingjun.
"Captain, two brothers and I secretly fired cold shots at the Japanese turret last night to test the firepower of the turret."
"The enemy has two machine guns, one is Czech and the other is crooked. There is no heavy machine gun."
"There is a squad of puppet troops and a small detachment of Japanese soldiers. The number of troops does not exceed 30 people."
Li Yunlong distributed flamethrowers and bazooka rocket launchers to the Sword Special Forces.
Lu Yingjun allowed most of the team members to master the use of flamethrowers and bazookas in the shortest possible time.
The flamethrower is simple to operate, but the conditions for use are relatively harsh. It must be close to the enemy within 20 meters to have a killing effect. Moreover, the person operating it is also very dangerous. Once the nitrogen tank is hit, it will inevitably be set on fire.
Although the maximum range of the Super Bazooka can reach more than 800 meters, the effective range is about 200-300 meters, and the proficiency of the shooter who launches the rocket launcher is relatively high.
After reporting to Li Yunlong, Lu Yingjun led the Sword Special Forces and rode to the Yuliao Highway at night, preparing to find the Japanese gun towers and test the power of flamethrowers and rocket launchers.
This power test was conducted under top secret conditions. Only Li Yunlong and the Lijian Special Forces knew about it, not even the political commissar Zhao Gang.
As early as last night, Wei Dayong and two team members had stepped in advance.
"Where is the nearest reinforcement?" Lu Yingjun asked, "How long will it take to arrive?"
"The only reinforcements that can come here are from the county seat of Liao County." Wei Dayong said, "It has to be more than twenty miles away. It will take the Japanese infantry an hour to arrive."
"But I see there are ruts on the ground. The devils in the county town have tricycles and big trucks. The time will be much shorter. It can be reached in half an hour."
"These devils have become demons and buried the telephone wires in the ground. We can't find them."
Lu Yingjun glanced at Wei Dayong in surprise. This guy's reconnaissance was quite detailed.
"Half an hour... is enough for us to take down this blockhouse." Lu Yingjun said in a leisurely tone.
When he was in the Southern Hebei Military Region, what he dealt with the most were the Japanese artillery towers. There were not as many mountains in southern Hebei as there were in southeastern Shanxi. The Japanese artillery towers could easily be built on the highway, dividing the base area into several small pieces, and pulling them out at once.
During the battle in the Japanese bunker, Lu Yingjun reached out and pulled out the light machine gun that was firing in the bunker, including the gun and the Japanese.
Lu Yingjun had his own method for demolishing the enemy's bunkers and gun towers.
When he was in the Jinan Military Region, the communication company he led demolished many gun towers and bunkers, but the sacrifices were relatively high because they did not have the weapons to attack the enemy.
If you attack by force, casualties are likely to occur, because war has its own unique laws, and casualties are inevitable.
The regiment leader often said that every member of these sword squads was his treasure, and he would not change them even if they were given to the battalion commander.
Through the blur, Lu Yingjun raised his telescope and carefully looked at the terrain around the turret, and a plan emerged in his mind.
"However, our mission this time is to test the power of new weapons. There is no need to destroy this turret."
Lu Yingjun called over the captains of the three combat teams. The captains of the first to third combat teams were Wei Dayong, Wang Xikui and Li Changshun respectively.
Each combat team consists of 11 captains and 10 team members. Each team has a sniper and a Bren-type light machine gun. The remaining team members are equipped with submachine guns.
The four of them gathered together. Lu Yingjun picked up a branch nearby and drew a simple sketch on a flat place.
"Now, let me assign combat tasks."
"Our sharp sword detachment currently has three combat teams."
"Our plan is divided into three steps. First, the third battle will be carried out from the west side to a position 400 meters away from the gun tower."
"Then the third combat team stopped here and prepared for fire suppression. The light machine guns of the first combat team were used by the third combat team."
The distance of 400 meters is far beyond the effective shooting range of submachine guns. Only light and heavy machine guns can implement fire suppression.
Li Changshun nodded. From 400 meters away, he could try to use a sniper rifle to kill the machine gunner in the turret, but it would require a good position and angle, and he could not guarantee a 100% hit. Of course, the same goes for Wang Xikui and Cao Jinwang.
Lu Yingjun continued.
"The second combat group moved into the north side 400 meters away from the gun tower."
"Your mission is the same as that of the third combat group, responsible for fire suppression and attracting fire."
"The first combat team carried rocket launchers and flamethrowers from the east side of the gun building to a range of 200 meters, waiting for an opportunity to test the power of the new weapons."
Among the entire sharp sword unit, Wei Dayong had the best performance in operating rocket launchers, so the task of testing new weapons was left to him.
After Lu Yingjun finished talking about the plan, he threw the branch away and glanced at everyone: "The rocket launcher can fire up to 3 rockets. No matter whether we can take out the turret or not, we will withdraw."
"Do you all understand your respective tasks?"
The three of them shouted in a low voice: "Understood!"
The three team captains then returned to their respective combat teams and issued combat missions to their team members.
About three minutes later, more than thirty figures slid down the slope silently and slowly moved towards the watchtower.
Five hundred meters away, Lu Yingjun raised his hand and spoke special operations sign language backwards, and everyone immediately stopped advancing and hid in the darkness.
Lu Yingjun raised the Zeiss telescope and looked again. This time the distance was closer and the view was clearer.
This is a Japanese medium-sized turret with a standard structure. It has a cylindrical structure. Through the dim light in the turret, you can see that the dense walls are covered with gloomy shooting holes. This shows that the walls are thicker, with at least three layers of fire bricks, and the top layer is
The shooting hole is about the same size as the two floors below, which means there are no heavy machine guns in this turret.
There are trenches set up by the Japanese and puppet troops outside the gun towers. Needless to say, there are mines, bamboo spikes and other traps buried in the trenches. There is a circle of barbed wire above the trenches.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The firepower of this defensive turret and two light machine guns is enough to scare away a battalion of the Eighth Route Army that lacks ammunition and offensive weapons.
Putting down the telescope, Lu Yingjun made two more combat signs, and the team split into three small streams from a pool of water, slowly flowing towards the gun tower from different directions.
During the entire process, the special forces advanced in strict accordance with the mutually covering infiltration combat formation, and all communications between team members were conveyed in sign language.
The third and second combat teams quickly successfully reached the 400-meter position from the west and north.
Li Changshun and Wang Xikui each used combat sign language, and the team members stopped one after another, each found a hidden position to lie down, raised their guns, and aimed in the direction of the gun tower.
Lu Yingjun followed the first combat team and quickly reached a position 230 meters away from the turret from the east.
Woof woof woof——
At this moment, the big yellow dog in the blockhouse suddenly started barking.
Lu Yingjun and the first combat team immediately lay down on the ground to hide. The Japanese and puppet troops cut down all the crops and trees within a kilometer radius, leaving the ground bare.
This is also the reason why Lu Yingjun chose to attack at night, because it is too easy to be exposed during the day.
The searchlight on the turret suddenly turned on, and a huge beam of light shot out from the top of the turret, which looked extremely dazzling under the blurry night sky.
However, the moment the searchlights came on, a gunshot was heard almost simultaneously from the west and north sides of the turret.
Li Changshun and Wang Xikui fired almost simultaneously. With two crisp "ding ding" sounds, the searchlights shattered and the night sky returned to darkness.
The sudden sound of gunfire made the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the artillery tower jump out of fright.
Ta da da, da da, da da da...
About ten seconds later, two long tongues of flame spurted out from the firing holes of the turret, and bullets were sprayed out as if they were free.
Third, the second combat group also fought back without showing any signs of weakness. Wang Gen of the third combat group produced a large grenade, pulled the match and threw it forward, and then threw the second and third grenades unhurriedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Continuous explosions occurred outside the turret, and the gunshots were also loud like exploding beans. They were responsible for suppressing and attracting fire. Naturally, the louder the noise, the better.
The sound of crackling bullets was immediately heard from the turret. The Japanese and puppet troops inside panicked and immediately separated the two light machine guns, one shooting to the north and the other to the west.
The sound of machine gunfire, submachine gunfire, and the explosion of grenades soon intertwined. The two sides were fighting lively, but no one was hit.
Just when Wang Xikui and Li Changshun were each looking for a suitable angle and sniping point, they were sniping at the Japanese machine gun fire points in their respective directions.
Lu Yingjun and the first combat team took advantage of this gap and crawled forward for more than 30 meters, arriving at a distance of 200 meters from the gun tower.
"Captain, just stay here." Wei Dayong whispered to Lu Yingjun in a low voice.
The target of the turret is very large, and it is a fixed target. It has a distance of 200 meters, and the hit rate of hitting it with a rocket launcher is very high.
300 meters is not impossible, but it is night and the visibility is too low. Hitting the turret in front of you requires luck and the hit rate is not high.
"Okay!" Lu Yingjun turned around and said, "Cover!"
All the team members spread out in an arc, crawled on the ground, and lifted up the guys in their hands.
Wei Dayong took off the two disassembled bazooka rocket launchers from his back, assembled them at a very fast speed, opened the bipod, and then opened the pole in front of the shoulder rest.
He quickly put it on the ground. Wei Dayong had practiced this set of moves dozens of times and was very skilled at it.
Duan Peng took out a high-explosive armor-piercing round from the ammunition box, pulled out the safety pin, then loaded the rocket into the barrel, then took out the wire from the tail of the rocket and connected it.
Duan Peng patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder, signaling that the loading was complete and ready for launch. Then he avoided the fan-shaped area behind the rocket as quickly as possible to prevent being burned by the high-pressure gunpowder gas sprayed at the rear of the rocket launcher. According to the instruction manual
Various precautions are written.
Wei Dayong lay prone on the ground, put his shoulder against the shoulder rest, opened the optical sight, and slowly adjusted the scale in front to 150 meters.
Holding the handle with his right hand, his index finger on the trigger, and holding the pole with his left hand, Wei Dayong's eyes flashed sharply. He aimed at the turret and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
After a strange noise, the rocket quickly shot out of the rocket launcher, and a dark red rocket trail instantly flashed across the dark night sky.
