Chapter 355: Mantis Catching Silkworms (Part 2)

Chapter 355: Mantis Catching Silkworms (Part 2)

"Da da da..." A burst of intensive machine gun fire overwhelmed the sound of heavy machine guns and reached the ears of every soldier on the battlefield. A company of six anti-aircraft machine guns in an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, under the order of the battalion commander,

Condescendingly, he did not hesitate to spit out tongues of fire at the more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops who were charging towards him.

Six sudden tongues of fire blocked more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops who were charging rapidly. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops were hit by anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, they were either beaten with missing arms or legs, or

He was directly shot to death and fell into a pool of blood. More importantly, many of the soldiers who were directly hit were broken directly across the waist.

Faced with such a powerful machine gun and such a bloody scene, the battle-hardened little Japanese was a little better and did not show any panic. He lay on the ground and started shooting at the Eighth Route Army that rushed in from the breach.

A limited counterattack. Almost all of the puppet soldiers who had been captured by the strong men had never seen such a bloody scene. Many of them had already begun to vomit. Even those soldiers who did not vomit were pale with fear at this time.

, staring blankly at the Eighth Route Army soldiers getting closer and closer in front of them, at a loss...

"Comrades, go ahead...kill the little Japs...ta da da da..." The soldiers shouted to kill and the machine guns fired. They quickly moved from the outside of the stronghold to the breach. Two battalions, close to

Thousands of soldiers, under the command of their respective commanders, passed through the trenches in front of them in an orderly manner. Stepping on the bunkers that had been bombed into ruins, they poured into the strongholds carefully built by the Japanese army.

A dense burst of bullets swept towards the Japanese and puppet troops lying on the ground. Immediately, more than half of the more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops who had just been killed by anti-aircraft machine guns were killed again. Dozens of them were killed again. As for the remaining

The dozens of Japanese and puppet troops below looked at the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer. The dozen or so little Japs were a little better and stood up from the ground without hesitation. With the bayonets in their hands, they charged at the oncoming Eighth Route Army.

As for the dozen or so puppet soldiers lying on the ground, they were so frightened that they almost peed their pants when they saw the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer. They all lay on the ground trembling and motionless.

There was a "chichi" sound as bayonets penetrated the flesh. After the soldiers suffered casualties of more than a dozen soldiers, they stabbed the dozen little devils in front of them to the ground as quickly as possible.

The little Japanese's corpse launched a charge directly towards the central turret of the stronghold, which was in the center of the entire stronghold and had been suppressed by the soldiers so that they could not lift their heads.

Of course, everything that happened in the entire stronghold did not escape the eyes of the Japanese squadron leader in the escape building. He saw that more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops under his own organization were killed by a powerful machine gun before they could reach the breach.

Killing nearly half of the troops. More importantly, nearly a thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers, with only minor casualties, wiped out the more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops that they had worked so hard to collect. Seeing that he was facing the enemy

The Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed towards the artillery building where they were located, and the squadron leader also began to panic.

"Don't stop shooting on the Eighth Route Army. Quick, block the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, or you will die..." Under the roar of the squadron leader and the threat of the command knife, a little Japanese, a puppet soldier

The soldiers had to risk their lives at any time by sticking their heads out of the shooting holes and starting to fight back.

However, under the suppression of the soldiers' dense rain of bullets, these Japanese and puppet soldiers often fired less than a few bullets before they would be exposed by the flames from the muzzle. Then several light and heavy machine guns would shoot at them.

A dense rain of bullets...

"Ah...Baga..." bursts of screams rang out, and a dozen Japanese and puppet soldiers who had just climbed to the shooting hole to shoot fell into a pool of blood almost at the same time. And the soldiers

Although we lost dozens of soldiers due to the desperate resistance of the Japanese and puppet troops, the distance between us and the gun tower has changed from more than 100 meters just now to more than 30 meters at this time. It only takes a few seconds.

In a short amount of time, the soldiers can rush to the bottom of the gun tower and let the little Japanese have a good taste of what it's like to fly on an earthen plane. However, can the Japanese and puppet troops, who have entered the stage of dying struggle, allow the soldiers to approach the gun tower so easily?

?Dana is negative.

"Baga... block, throw grenades, throw grenades... use grenades to blow up, we must block the Eighth Route Army's attack, quickly..." Seeing more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns in the turret, it is really impossible to stop the Eighth Route Army.

Attack. Looking outside the gun tower, the Eighth Route Army was getting closer and closer. The squadron leader suddenly saw boxes of grenades in the running building, and quickly gave a loud order...

Hearing that the squadron leader holding the command knife behind him finally stopped demanding that he continue to risk his life, more than a hundred Japanese and puppet soldiers, including dozens of little Japs in the stronghold, breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time. They were immediately pried open

There was a wooden box containing grenades or grenades next to it. The grenades that were about to explode were thrown out from the narrow shooting hole on the stairs.

"Boom, boom, boom..." In an instant, with the turret as the center, a radius of more than 30 meters was immediately shrouded in the smoke generated by the grenade explosion. A dense burst of grenade explosions sounded, and the hundred men who were charging at the front were immediately shrouded in smoke.

Many soldiers, without any accident, were blown down in a pool of blood by the continuously exploding grenades...

"Damn, that little devil is really cunning. I see how many grenades he has in his stronghold, which can make him so exhausted. Order the second battalion to continue to besiege the enemy's gun tower, and to continuously launch feint attacks to consume the grenades in the enemy's gun tower. The third battalion

All soldiers, immediately change the target of attack. From inside the Japanese stronghold, cooperate with a battalion outside the stronghold to eliminate all the Japanese and puppet troops in the remaining ten or so bunkers." Seeing more than a hundred soldiers, they disappeared among the enemy in an instant.

Amidst the explosion of the grenade, the regiment leader Zhou Guohua squeezed his fists tightly and gave a loud order to the correspondent in front of him.

After receiving the order, the three battalions, under the leadership of their respective company commanders, immediately changed their attack targets. Under the cover of machine guns and grenades, they launched a charge towards the bunkers that were spitting flames. Maybe it was because the little devils believed in themselves too much.

The bunker was too confident in its own combat effectiveness. Except for the three shooting holes on the side facing the outside of the stronghold, the entire bunker was open. As for the inside of the stronghold, except for a thick wooden door that was tightly closed, there were no shooting holes.

Not one is left.

For such a stronghold, under the charge of the third battalion and three companies, there was almost no ability to fight back. The soldiers, under the cover of light machine guns and grenades, easily rushed to the side of the stronghold. After a huge explosion,

Amidst the sound, the small bunkers that were spitting out flames just now turned into graves in an instant, and dozens of Japanese and puppet soldiers were buried one after another.

As the strongholds around the stronghold turned into ruins one after another, the first battalion preparing to attack the gun tower also made preparations for the final general attack. After more than ten minutes of exhaustion, more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops in the building were

Almost everything that could explode in the entire building was thrown out. However, no matter how many grenades were stored in the building, they would not be able to withstand more than a hundred people, and no one could consume several grenades per minute.

In ten minutes, the surrounding Japanese bunkers were destroyed one after another under the attack of the first and third battalions. The second battalion commander was also anxious. When he saw the grenades thrown out from the gun tower, he could already use only a handful of them.

To describe it. Without saying a word, the second battalion commander immediately organized dozens of blasters, preparing to attack from multiple directions at the same time to blast the turret in front of him.

"Order, all light machine guns take cover, and the blasters start attacking." Looking at the dozens of blasters who were ready, the second battalion commander gave a loud order to the dozen or so light machine gunners behind him.

"Da da da... charge..." Under the cover of various light and heavy machine guns, dozens of blasters began to charge towards the turret with a diameter of no more than ten meters in front of them from different directions. Dozens of blasters began to charge.

A demolitionist dodged left and right amid the constantly exploding grenades. Although many soldiers were sacrificed along the way. However, dozens of demolitioners did not hesitate at all and continued holding the explosive bags in their arms.

Charge regardless of casualties.

In the end, more than 30 blasters, after losing more than a dozen soldiers, still had more than 20 blasters who rushed to the bottom of the gun tower. Then they lined up the explosive bags in their arms under the turret.

At the command of a demolitionist, more than twenty people simultaneously ignited the fuses in their hands and quickly retreated to their positions.

"Boom..." Dozens of blasters had not yet returned to their positions. A loud explosion sounded behind them. The explosion of the explosive pack produced huge power, and in one fell swoop, twenty fast-running blasters were killed.

Many soldiers were pushed to the ground. As for the Little Japanese's gun tower, it was also turned into a pile of rubble in the huge explosion. Together with the remaining more than a hundred Japanese and puppet soldiers in the gun tower, they were buried

In the ruins.

As the strongest turrets in the stronghold were destroyed, the resistance of the remaining bunkers became increasingly fragile. Finally, after almost ten minutes, the battle in the entire stronghold was over. One by one, the prisoners were captured.

One by one, the wounded were slowly carried out from the stronghold by the soldiers.

At the same time, the results and losses of the entire battle were tallied up in the shortest possible time. As the commander-in-chief, Zhou Guohua received the results, and after arranging his troops to clean the battlefield, he came to the battle station at the entrance of the town.

Temporary headquarters.

"Report to the brigade commander... The regiment has successfully completed its mission, please give the brigade commander instructions..." Zhou Guohua reported loudly when he saw the brigade commander Shen Qinghua in the headquarters, who was staring at the entire Zhongyang Town defense system in front of him.

"Well, it's Captain Zhou! The mission has been completed well. It's just been fifty minutes since the battle began. How about you report to me the results and the losses of the troops." Seeing the smoke-filled face in front of him,

Regiment leader Zhou Guohua and brigade commander Shen Qinghua looked at the watches on their arms, nodded with satisfaction and asked.

"Yes, brigade commander. According to statistics, there are 986 Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, of which 246 little devils were wiped out and no one was captured. Of the 740 puppet troops, except for 235 who were captured, all the remaining puppet troops were

were eliminated. In addition, because all the bunkers and gun towers in the stronghold were blown up, not many weapons were seized, but a lot of ammunition was seized. A total of 129 rifles, 5 light machine guns, and more than 80,000 rounds of various bullets.

However, countless materials of various kinds have been seized from the enemy's arsenal, and the specific data are still being compiled." Zhou Guohua reported with excitement.

"Well, you did a good job. We should resolutely eliminate these little devils. How about it? Did your Second Regiment suffer a lot of casualties?" Brigadier Shen Qinghua nodded and continued to ask.

"Brigade Commander, don't worry about this! With so many heavy weapons in hand, plus the support of 18 anti-aircraft machine guns, if the casualties are too high, I, the regiment commander, will just quit. A total of 186 people in the regiment died.

Soldiers, 54 were seriously injured and about 300 were slightly injured, but it does not affect the combat effectiveness of the army." Zhou Guohua replied loudly.

"Okay, good job. So, according to the intelligence sent by our scouts, more than 8,000 Japanese and puppet reinforcements have left Jinzhong County half an hour ago. According to their marching speed, they still have 40 minutes at most.

, we can rush to Zhongyang Town and surround our army. And now the first regiment is seizing the time to dig fortifications, and it will be very exhausted by then. So, what I mean now is that your second regiment, in addition to all the important

Apart from the wounded, the remaining soldiers should seize the time to rest and replenish ammunition. At that time, all the enemy's first two rounds of attacks will be handed over to your second regiment." Brigadier Shen Qinghua ordered, pointing to the defense map of Zhongyang Town in front of him.

.

"Brigadier, don't worry. As long as I, Zhou Guohua, am here, I will ensure that we eat as many as the little devils come. Besides, we have a lot of heavy firepower in our hands, especially the 18 powerful anti-aircraft machine guns."

After hearing the mission assigned by the brigade commander, Zhou Guohua answered confidently without hesitation.

"Haha, Commander Zhou, don't be too happy too soon. I tell you, you can use any other heavy weapons, but those 18 anti-aircraft machine guns cannot be used without my order. In addition, although the little Japs don't

What kind of large-caliber artillery are they carrying? However, they must be carrying mortars, and there are still a lot of them. In addition, according to the scout's report, the Japs also dispatched a squadron of 12 light tanks in order to completely annihilate us.

"Looking at Zhou Guohua, who was full of confidence and already underestimated the enemy, Brigadier Shen Qinghua quickly reminded him.

"Ah, brigade commander, you guys also have tanks and mortars..." Zhou Guohua was obviously stunned when he heard the tanks and a large number of mortars, and asked in surprise.

"Why, are you scared? But don't worry about these 12 tanks. According to the division commander's wishes, these 12 tanks must be captured by him as much as possible so that he can form the first tank detachment of our *** division. So,

If the enemy launches a tank attack at that time, you can put the enemy's tanks directly into the town. As for the little Japs following the tanks, I think you should know what to do." Seeing the frowning Zhou Guohua, the brigade commander

Shen Qinghua continued.

"Brigadier, what should we do with the 12 tanks that were put into the town? We can't let them come and shoot us behind the scenes..." After hearing what Brigadier Shen Qinghua said, Zhou Guohua asked with confusion on his face.

road.

"Haha, don't worry about this. After I learned that the Japs had tanks to participate in the war, I ordered a regiment to dig a dozen anti-tank trenches in several alleys in the town, waiting for the Japs.

The tank fell into the trap. As long as these dozen tanks cannot move, it will be a matter of time before we destroy the little Japs inside. Your mission is to eliminate those little Japs who are following closely behind the tanks.

.How about it? Do you have the confidence to complete this mission?" Brigadier Shen Qinghua explained.

"Yes, brigade commander, don't worry. As long as there is still one person alive in the second regiment, and we promise not to let a little Japanese infantry enter the town, you can rest assured!" Zhou Guohua assured loudly.

While Shen Qinghua and his soldiers were nervously deploying in the small town of Zhongyang, the top commander of the Japanese army, Colonel Nakamoto, was sitting on a car, constantly urging the troops to speed up their march. And

Right in front of him were 12 light tanks from a tank squadron that had just been assigned to him not long ago. Behind him, except for 24 cars full of Japanese soldiers, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were all lined up in two lines.

He was carrying various weapons and ammunition, and followed closely behind the car.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, according to the current marching speed of our army, in half an hour, we can arrive at the outskirts of Zhongyang Town and form an encirclement situation against the Eighth Route Army in Zhongyang Town. However, after nearly

After an hour of rapid march, the more than 3,000 puppet troops behind them have already fallen behind. In addition, the marching speed of two mortar squadrons and four heavy machine gun squadrons has been slowed down due to weapons and equipment.

It can't keep up with the marching speed of the troops. Your Excellency, Wing Commander, would you like to order the troops to rest for five minutes before continuing to march." The Japanese Wing Chief of Staff rode a horse to the side of the car where the Wing Commander, Colonel Nakamoto, was riding.

Reported loudly.

"Baga, now we have not received any news from the Zhongyang Town stronghold. If nothing else, the Zhongyang Town stronghold has been conquered by the Eighth Route Army. If we don't hurry up, the Eighth Route Army has already occupied the Zhongyang Town stronghold.

It is very likely that we will take the opportunity to retreat and jump out of our encirclement. At that time, all our efforts will be in vain. Order the troops to speed up their march again, and at the same time, order each heavy machine gun squadron, mortar squadron, and puppet army

The troops can slow down their marching speed appropriately. However, they must arrive at the outskirts of Zhongyang Town to join the main force within 50 minutes, otherwise military law will be imposed." the commander of the regiment said angrily.

"Hi, Mr. Captain..."
