The latest chapter of the Military Industry System of Bright Sword
;;;;Ikeda is not trying to blow up the machine gun firepower of the Eighth Route Army.
;;;;If it's a machine gun attack, I'm afraid there won't be enough time, because the Japanese squad only has one grenade launcher, while the Eighth Route Army has three machine guns.
;;;;This one was knocked down one after another, and by the time the third one was knocked down, the main force of the Eighth Route Army would have arrived.
;;;;What's more, the machine gun firepower point does not disappear after being blown up...the enemy is guarding the ammunition depot, which is full of equipment. As long as there are still people around, a few more machine guns can be added at any time.
;;;;Ikeda did this in the hope that he could drive the grenade into the warehouse through the window and detonate the ammunition in the warehouse.
;;;;This is what Ikeda thought of in a hurry: there was no need for them to rush into the ammunition depot if the purpose was to detonate it.
;;;;This command may not be possible for others.
;;;;Because the mortar hits a curve, it is difficult for the shooter to drive the shell along the window into the warehouse, especially when it has to extend a certain distance inward to detonate the ammunition.
;;;;But it can be done for the devils.
;;;;Because the Japanese grenade shooters are well-trained, they are all fed with artillery shells, and they can hit wherever they are on the battlefield. They don't even need to calculate the ballistics and can do it just by feeling...
In fact, if you shoot too many times, when you swing the grenade in your hand, you will naturally outline its trajectory in your mind.
;;;;With a "Teng" sound, a grenade was fired, and the first shot hit the window.
;;;;It was just a little too high and hit the upper edge of the window but failed to penetrate through the window.
;;;;Captain Ikeda shouted: "Hit again, you idiot, lower down!"
;;;;The grenade shooter was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead, because he knew what his hit meant... That was an ammunition depot. If the shell accurately passed through the window, a chain explosion would occur in the entire ammunition depot in the next second.
;;;;At this time, his position is only a few dozen meters away from the ammunition depot. Can he escape?
;;;;The shooter doesn't want this to be the result.
;;;;Perhaps this is also the reason why he failed to succeed in the first start...
;;;;It's not that he missed intentionally, but the pressure was too great: before, hitting the target meant the enemy's death, but now hitting the target means he dies.
;;;;Are you really ready?
;;;;"Fire!" Captain Ikeda urged when he saw the shooter hesitated.
;;;; "Teng" fired another grenade, this time it successfully passed through the window, but it hit the ceiling and exploded inside, failing to detonate the warehouse.
;;;;The monk woke up suddenly... Damn it, the devils are going to blow up the ammunition depot and die together!
;;;;Interesting!
;;;;What a man!
;;;;But how could the monk let the Japanese succeed? He ordered without thinking: "Comrades, charge!"
;;;;As he said that, he flew out of the window, holding a box cannon in each hand, charging towards the Japs while firing his bow left and right, hitting the Japs so hard that they couldn't even get their heads out.
;;;;At this moment, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company were stunned.
;;;;They don’t understand what the company commander is doing, why are they rushing at this time? Isn’t it just a matter of blocking the Japs like this? Isn’t it good to let the Japs come up one by one and die?
;;;;If this continues, we only need to persist for a while, and won't the main force come up and take away the devils in one fell swoop?
;;;;But a reconnaissance company is a reconnaissance company.
;;;;They just hesitated for a moment, and then immediately rushed forward, shouting, grabbing rifles and holding bayonets.
;;;;Thirteen soldiers of the reconnaissance company rushed towards the enemy whose strength was more than twice theirs without hesitation, and they were all well-trained Japanese.
;;;;However, the Japanese were unprepared and were caught off guard by the counterattack of the reconnaissance company.
;;;;Especially at that moment, Captain Ikeda was still assisting the grenade shooter to aim at the window... Captain Ikeda was so focused on staring at the window that he didn't even notice that the Eighth Route Army launched a countercharge. By the time he reacted, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were already there
Rushed to the front.
;;;;The frightened Captain Ikeda hurriedly raised the tortoise box in his hand, but before he could fire it, the opponent's bayonet had already pierced his chest.
;;;;At the last moment, Captain Ikeda was still looking at the window, hoping that a cannonball would successfully pass through there and complete his goal.
;;;;However, what Captain Ikeda didn't know was that the grenade shooter did not fire any shells at all...
;;;;It's not too late, the shooter always has the opportunity and time to fire the shells.
;;;;However, the enemy is right in front of you, holding a bayonet shining with blood in his hand. Who has the courage to fire artillery shells at this moment?
;;;;Shooters naturally grab their guns to resist.
;;;;The moment he went to grab the gun, he had actually lost his last chance, a chance to die with the Eighth Route Army or even blow up the steel plant.
;;;;Who knows?
;;;;Maybe this cannonball will succeed after being fired, maybe it won't.
;;;;But if it is not launched, it will definitely not succeed.
;;;;The monks and the remaining Japs were inextricably killed. After all, the Japs had the numerical advantage, and the Japs were good at stabbing.
;;;;However, this situation did not last long, because Li Yunlong and the main force of the independent group had appeared behind the Japanese and quickly joined the battle group to eliminate these Japanese.
;;;;After the war, Li Yunlong found the grenade launcher still standing on the ground and pointed at the window.
;;;; He carefully looked at the angle of the grenade, then looked at the window, secretly sweating... If this shell were fired, half of the steel plant would be burned down.
;;;;It took 58 minutes, and the independent group successfully occupied the Daqingshan Iron and Steel Plant, and it was basically intact.
;;;;The reason why it is said to be "basically complete" is because several rockets missed their target and blew up a warehouse.
;;;;Fortunately, this warehouse is used to store steel ingots.
;;;;The explosion caused the steel ingots to scatter everywhere, and half of the warehouse collapsed with the steel ingots buried... Visually, there was not much damage, and the steel ingots can still be used after being dug out.
;;;;After Wang Xuexin received this information, he felt relieved.
;;;;Occupying the steel plant is the first and most critical step.
;;;;If this step is taken, the rest will be much easier to handle.
;;;;Then Wang Xuexin issued two orders in succession.
;;;;The first order was given to the Independent Regiment: "Organize a defense immediately and defend the steel plant at all costs!"
;;;;To defend the steel plant here is not just to defend the steel plant itself like the Japs.
;;;;For the Japanese, it is enough to build gun towers around the steel plant and defend it. This is because the Eighth Route Army guerrillas do not have long-range artillery, and they cannot threaten the steel plant from a long distance.
;;;;But this is not the case for the Eighth Route Army.
;;;;The Japanese have long-range artillery, not only ghost cannons and mortars that can hit for several kilometers, but also heavy artillery that can hit for more than ten kilometers.
;;;;Heavy artillery cannot be defended by infantry, so the air force can do this for you.
;;;;Hit mortars and ghost cannons for several kilometers... These things cannot be defended by aircraft because they are highly flexible and concealable.
;;;;Therefore, the defense of the independent regiment must be pushed out several kilometers from the center of the steel plant.
;;;;The best way is to occupy the surrounding high ground.
