"Okay, now that the mission has been arranged, let's prepare separately. In addition, we must pay special attention to the reminder from the division headquarters and ask each soldier to carry a gas mask to prevent the little devil from jumping over the wall and using gas bombs...
"Brigade Commander Shen Qinghua gave final instructions.
"Yes, Brigadier, everything is clear." They both replied at the same time.
"Okay, it's almost dark now. After we go back, order the troops to hurry up and have dinner. We will be ready to set off in an hour..." Brigadier Shen Qinghua nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, Brigadier..."
An hour later, after a whole day's rest and a hearty meal, the entire army of more than 5,000 people stood in high spirits in front of the brigade commander Shen Qinghua. A series of light and heavy machine guns, a
All the mortars in Menmen were carried on the shoulders of the soldiers, waiting for the order to attack.
"Everyone is here, set off immediately. The target is the Japanese and Puppet Army Stronghold in Zhongyang..." Looking at the 5,000 elite divisions in front of him, Brigadier Shen Qinghua nodded with satisfaction and shouted loudly to the two regiment commanders who were waiting for orders.
commanded.
Immediately, just as they were camping in a quiet place, the footsteps of soldiers could be heard. More than 5,000 soldiers, carrying various weapons and ammunition, lined up in two columns. Like a dragon swimming in the dark night, they quickly
He emerged from the woods where he was hiding and headed straight for the Zhongyang Town stronghold a few kilometers away.
With the scouts investigating the terrain in advance, it took the entire army less than an hour to surround the entire Zhongyang Town. As for several outposts outside the Zhongyang Town stronghold, although they were specially strengthened that night
Warning. However, in front of these battle-hardened scouts, these Japanese and puppet sentries had almost no ability to fight back. They were touched on the neck by the scouts one by one and sent back to their hometown.
Without the harassment of enemy sentries, a regiment led by Zhou Guohua, carrying a large number of heavy weapons, and led by scouts, penetrated directly into the Japanese and puppet army stronghold in the center of the town. However, at this time, the situation in the entire stronghold was indeed...
As the brigade commander said, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold seemed to have known about the arrival of the soldiers for a long time. The entire stronghold was brightly lit. On the four-story landing in the center of the stronghold, four bright searchlights were constantly shining.
Sweeping around the stronghold, guarding against sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army and other armed forces.
After quietly surrounding the stronghold, Zhou Guohua took the three battalion commanders of the regiment and lay quietly on a private house two hundred meters away from the stronghold, quietly observing this man who was preparing for battle.
The stronghold that is being seriously awaited. Through the telescope, you can clearly see that in the brightly lit stronghold, there are patrol teams that are constantly patrolling back and forth between the various bunkers in the stronghold. At the same time, in the dozen or so bunkers around the stronghold,
Black barrels protruded from almost every shooting hole in the bunker. Looking at the constantly rotating barrels, Zhou Guohua knew that the enemies in the bunker must be vigilant and watching every move outside the bunker. As long as there was the slightest movement outside,
In this tense atmosphere, he will pull the trigger mercilessly.
"Captain, the little Japs are heavily guarded... We don't have direct-aiming artillery fire like mountain artillery or infantry artillery. This is a hard nut to crack..." Looking at the heavily guarded stronghold, the people around him
The first battalion commander shook his head helplessly and sighed with emotion to the regimental commander Zhou Guohua next to him.
After listening to the words of the first battalion commander, and thinking of his promise in front of the brigade commander, the regiment commander Zhou Guohua couldn't help but frowned, and looked at Battalion Commander Zhang of the 1st Anti-aircraft Machine Gun Battalion of the air defense regiment next to him: "Battle Commander Zhang, you
Can the anti-aircraft machine gun in your hand penetrate the Japs' bunker?"
"Captain Zhou, I'm not particularly clear about the specific situation. I think as long as it's not a bunker made of reinforced concrete, the heavy machine gun in my hand should be able to penetrate it. Only by trying it in detail can we know." Battalion Commander Zhang
He looked at the four-story Jaap turret in front of him and said.
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. Comrades, you should all know that the task given to us by the brigade commander is to annihilate all the defenders in the store with minimal casualties within an hour.
Next, I will distribute the specific tasks. The first battalion brings a heavy machine gun company with 9 heavy machine guns, responsible for attacking from both wings of the stronghold to attract the firepower and troops of the Japs. The second battalion, the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion of the air defense regiment, artillery,
As well as all the remaining heavy machine guns, I will attack from the front. The third battalion serves as the reserve team for the entire offensive. As soon as the second battalion opens a breakthrough, the third battalion will rush in immediately and together with the soldiers of the second battalion, destroy all the small enemies in the stronghold.
Japs." Zhou Guohua looked at the battalion commanders in front of him and ordered loudly.
"Yes, leader, I promise to complete the mission." Several people replied loudly.
Immediately, as the first battalion left, the artillery began to build artillery positions. Dozens of mortars were lined up outside the entire stronghold, and they were quickly ready for firing. As for the remaining 18 heavy machine guns,
At the special request of the regiment leader Zhou Guohua, they were also lined up to suppress all fire points that might appear on the enemy's central flight building. As for the last weapon, the anti-aircraft machine gun, Zhou Guohua ordered two anti-aircraft machine guns to suppress it.
A shooting hole in the bunker was neatly placed at the forefront of the position.
Looking at the rows of anti-aircraft machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars that can be fired at any time behind him, Zhou Guohua, who was originally a little worried about completing his mission, was full of confidence at this time. You must know that the important task in front of him is
Weapons are the property of the entire first brigade of the direct column.
"Order that all artillery fire three rapid rounds at the Japanese and puppet army strongholds to destroy all the firepower points on the surface positions of the Japanese and puppet troops. At the same time, try to kill the effective forces of the Japanese and puppet troops as much as possible." He looked at the artillery behind him that could be fired at any time.
, while looking at his watch to see that ten minutes had passed, Zhou Guohua ordered loudly to the correspondent behind him who was conveying the order.
Less than half a minute after Zhou Guohua's order was issued, a dull sound of artillery being ejected and chambered was heard from the artillery position not far behind him. At the same time, the entire artillery position was also filled with flames generated by the artillery being ejected and chambered.
Under the irradiation, it was illuminated brightly. More importantly, with the sound of dense explosions, dozens of artillery shells that had already flown out of the barrel had exploded violently in the Japanese stronghold.
In the dark night, the exploding shells were like fireworks, completely covering the entire Japanese military stronghold. At the same time, in the firelight caused by the explosion, one by one unlucky little Japanese, puppet soldiers. Not
Those who were directly hit turned into corpses. They rushed out of the smoke covered with fire and began to wail and scream on the ground, waiting for the final death...
However, what is regrettable is that although three rounds of explosions of nearly a hundred artillery shells almost turned the entire surface position of the Japanese and puppet stronghold into a hell on earth, with corpses of soldiers everywhere, broken limbs and arms, burning
The wooden corpse... However, the mortar shells, which mainly kill the enemy with fragments, have no damage to the dozen solid bunkers around the stronghold and the several-story gun tower in the center of the stronghold. As the smoke disperses,
After all, more than a dozen bunkers around the stronghold were still intact and displayed in front of everyone.
"Commander, why don't you fire two more rounds of artillery shells? I don't believe the Japs' bunkers can't collapse." Seeing the dozens of intact bunkers in front of him, the artillery company commander suggested unconvincedly.
"No, Captain Wang, don't waste our precious artillery shells anymore. Keep these shells for a while, they will be of great use. Battalion Commander Zhang, let's take a look at the 18 anti-aircraft machine guns in your hand. Order all the machine guns to open fire and cover first.
, the blasters are ready to charge and blast the enemy's bunkers." Zhou Guohua thought of the thousands of little Japs he would face as a child, and refused the artillery company commander's request without hesitation. He faced Zhang Ying, the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion waiting for orders next to him.
The commander, and all the heavy machine gun company commanders gave loud orders.
"Da da da..." Immediately, a series of intensive machine gun fires sounded from the heavy machine gun position. Under the control of the soldiers, tongues of flames accurately shot towards the central turret of the Japanese army. Because there were
Covered by a total of 18 heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns, almost every shooting hole on the Japanese central run upstairs had to withstand the fire suppression of at least two light and heavy machine guns.
The flying bullets, like rain, penetrated into the shooting holes on the turret. At this moment, the little Japanese and puppet soldiers who were guarding the shooting holes were shot one after another and fell into a pool of blood.
. Dozens of candidate shooters, under the commander's mandatory order, stood by the shooting holes and did not dare to show their heads. However, what frustrated the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the running building was that even if they did not show their heads
, facing the stray bullets everywhere inside the running building, they can kill themselves at any time.
As for the Japanese squadron leader who was guarding the building, after seeing the light and heavy machine gun fire one after another outside the stronghold, which was almost twice as much as his own, his whole face turned pale with fright. You must know that although he has nearly a thousand troops
, and has a solid stronghold to rely on. But the total number of light and heavy machine guns in hand does not exceed 30. Who knows about the Tubal Road outside... It can no longer be called Tubal Road, and there are no less than 30 heavy and heavy machine guns alone.
, and there are dozens of light machine guns.
Seeing this, although the squadron leader had already received the news that the Eighth Route Army could attack, he still had to quickly run to the phone and rang the phone of the supreme commander of Yangquan County...
"Your Excellency, Captain, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce. Our army can hold on for half an hour at most. Please request for reinforcements. Please, Your Excellency, Captain, send reinforcements immediately..." Listening to the dense crowd outside the stronghold,
With the sound of gunfire, the squadron leader shouted loudly into the microphone in his hand.
"Baga! You must be lying about the military situation. The Eighth Route Army only has 5,000 troops. How can you, with more than a thousand people and strong artillery towers, be unable to stop you? I order your troops to hold on for one and a half hours. One and a half hours.
In the future, the reinforcements from the county will arrive. By then we will attack from inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to annihilate all the Eighth Route Army that besieged you. If you cannot complete the task, you will directly apologize to His Majesty the Emperor... "Beep beep" a group leader said
After the roar, the phone's busy tone sounded in the receiver.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army, I will fight with you. Yours, fire for me immediately, otherwise you will die..." The Japanese squadron leader, who had no way to retreat, was also angry when facing the Eighth Route Army who might attack at any time outside the stronghold.
. He suddenly pulled out his command knife and cursed loudly at the two puppet machine gunners who were hiding under the shooting holes and did not dare to raise their heads to aim and shoot.
However, the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire artillery tower were very lucky. As for the three bunkers directly opposite the 1st Battalion, at this time, the three bunkers were like hells. In the small bunkers, almost
After the ten Japanese and puppet troops experienced the first round of fire suppression from six anti-aircraft machine guns, the three little Japs guarding the shooting holes faced large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun bullets with a range of several kilometers. Their whole bodies were like
In an instant, blood holes as thick as the mouth of a bowl were punched out. More importantly, after the powerful bullet penetrated the first little devil, the power of the entire warhead did not seem to decrease at all, and it continued to penetrate.
The second puppet soldier behind him was shot through, and finally shot into the wall inside the bunker.
The unfortunate little devil was hit by a powerful anti-aircraft machine gun bullet. His whole body was directly broken by these large-caliber bullets. His internal organs and intestines were scattered in every corner of the bunker. It was just the first round of the anti-aircraft machine gun.
After strafing, more than half of the dozens of Japanese and puppet troops in the entire bunker were killed or injured in just a few seconds. At the same time, the entire bunker was almost filled with the blood, internal organs and broken limbs of fallen soldiers...
Facing such a powerful machine gun, the remaining soldiers in the bunker, whether they were Japs or puppet soldiers. Seeing the corpses of soldiers whose waists were broken, they all showed a look of fear. Each one of them was in the same position.
For a long time, they all lay on the ground in the bunker, dodging the bullets above their heads that might wipe out their bodies at any time.
"Order the demolition crews to prepare for blasting and the infantry to prepare for charge." Through the telescope, I saw that under the fire of 18 anti-aircraft machine guns, the Japanese and puppet troops in the three bunkers had all turned into turtles at this moment.
An excited smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Guohua's mouth, and he ordered confidently to the Second Battalion Commander beside him.
Following Zhou Guohua's order, more than a dozen blasters, holding bags of explosives, quickly rushed out of their starting position under the cover of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield and headed towards the enemy bunker a few hundred meters away.
A few hundred meters away, in the past, there would have been countless corpses of soldiers lying down before we could approach the enemy's bunker, but today it was different.
Under the crazy fire of countless firepower, even if the Japs were discovered, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were approaching them were helpless. Because even though they were covered by bunkers and gun towers, as long as they exposed themselves in front of the infinitely powerful anti-aircraft machine guns,
Needless to say, the result would be that his body would be completely dead.
Therefore, facing the charge of the soldiers, no little Japs dared to take this risk. Especially if they had no bones left in the end, not even a complete corpse could be left. In the end, the little Japs were forced to move the target.
to the remaining dozen puppet soldiers in the bunker. However, when they saw the puppet soldiers huddled in the corner, trembling all over, they gave up...
In the end, a dozen blasters, under the cover of intensive anti-aircraft machine gun fire, rushed to the side of the bunker at the cost of less than one-third of the soldier casualties...
"Boom, boom..." As three huge explosions sounded, the place where the three bunkers were located was immediately shrouded in the billowing smoke generated by the explosion. As the smoke slowly dissipated, the scene just now
The three bunkers that were still standing in front of the soldiers had now turned into a pair of ruins. Together with the dozens of Japanese and puppet troops in the bunkers, they were bombed back to their hometown.
"Tick-tick...tick-tock... Comrades, rush..." As the enemy that threatened us the most was eliminated, the firepower point on the turret in the center of the enemy's stronghold was also destroyed by the intensive firepower on our own position.
The net was tightly suppressed. Amidst the loud blast of the charge, the soldiers of the two battalions raised their rifles with bayonets already fixed in their hands, rushed out of their positions, and rushed towards the breach that had been blasted.
past.
As for the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, they also knew what would happen to them if they allowed the Eighth Route Army to rush into the stronghold through the breach. More than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops, under the command of a Japanese squad leader, swarmed out
He entered the central turret and rushed towards the breakthrough. He attempted to block the soldiers' offensive and block the breakthrough by relying on the trench several meters wide outside the breakthrough and the favorable terrain inside the stronghold.
However, every move by the Japanese troops in the store had long been reflected in the eyes of Zhou Guohua, the supreme commander on the battlefield. He looked at more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops, howling and rushing towards the breakthrough they had worked so hard to open, trying to block it.
The offensive of his own troops blocked the gap. A contemptuous smile appeared on Zhou Guohua's lips.
"Captain Zhang, the Japanese and puppet troops in the running building haven't tasted the power of your anti-aircraft machine gun battalion? Haha, these more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops want to die in a hurry, then you let the soldiers give them a try
They..." Zhou Guohua ordered to Battalion Commander Zhang of the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion behind him.
"Yes, Commander Zhou, don't worry. All the soldiers in our anti-aircraft machine gun battalion will definitely send off these more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops." Battalion Commander Zhang replied loudly, and turned around and returned to his command.
