In the evening, the Lieyan special operations brothers who had arrived at Hutou Village for reconnaissance came back. The team leader, Captain Gray Wolf, was immediately called over by the battalion commander Blacksmith.
"How is it going?"
Although the blacksmith climbed up a nearby mountain and observed Hutou Village from a distance with a telescope, he only had a general view. What he wanted to know were the specific details.
"The defense situation is similar to what should be provided inside. There are two lines of defense on the front, two hundred meters apart, eight open forts, five bunkers, and a minefield in front of the barbed wire..."
Gray Wolf broke off a branch, peeled away the thick rotten leaves, and described the defenses of Hutou Village to the blacksmith and others on the spot. Several company commanders put their heads close to it.
"Damn it, these bandits are almost as good at building fortifications as the little devils, but the open and hidden forts are in good order."
After hearing the description of the grizzly bear, the deputy battalion commander Daozi cursed in a low voice.
The little Japanese was serious and rigid. Everywhere he went, he built complete fortifications in accordance with the regulations. Even if he was only stationed for a short time, he would build the fortifications around the camp to be impregnable.
The brothers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps had learned the skills of the little Japs in building fortifications. They wanted to eat a group of lone Japs in one bite, but the Japs resisted tenaciously, and several sieges failed.
But when they sent people back to pull up a captured Type 92 infantry gun from the station, in just half a day, the Japanese actually built a circular field fortification on the spot, and huddled inside to resist for a day and night before being eliminated.
.
"So what if we catch up with the little Japs, I will still turn these fortresses into graveyards where their bones are buried." A company commander clenched his fists and said fiercely.
"Is it possible to bypass the frontal attack?"
The blacksmith frowned. The bandit's stronghold was impregnable. Even if it was a surprise attack, he still didn't have much confidence.
"There is a cliff behind, we can't go up." The grizzly bear shook his head.
"You can't even go up?" The blacksmith didn't believe it.
"It's too steep. There's no point of strength to climb up. And if there's a sentry at the top of the cliff, you'll be dead even if you go up."
Seeing that Grizzly Bear and the other tempered special warfare elites were not sure about rock climbing and attacking from behind, the blacksmith gave up the idea of taking a detour.
"Then we can only attack from the front." Although reluctant, this is the only option.
"The snipers of our Flame Team are responsible for suppressing the firepower of the bandits, and the sentries can also be handed over to us." Grizzly Bear took the initiative to undertake some combat tasks.
"Then it's up to you."
The blacksmith knows how powerful the snipers of the Flame Special Forces are. As long as the bandits' heavy firepower cannot be used, the pressure on their attacks will be greatly reduced.
Soon, the blacksmith will assign tasks to the three company commanders under his command. The first company will conduct a frontal attack, the second company will provide flank cover, and the third company will serve as a reserve.
Night fell again, and the brothers who had been hiding in the woods for a day silently surrounded Hutou Village under the cover of darkness.
Soon, the vanguard waved to the back, and everyone hunching forward dispersed and hid in the darkness.
Huang San also lay down. His platoon was responsible for several forts in the open. These forts made of logs, earth and stone were particularly conspicuous under the light of torches.
After this period of ideological education and brutal training, Huang San, who had turned into a bandit, has become a qualified guerrilla soldier, and was praised by the company for his hard training.
The two demolition teams in the platoon were both served by veterans of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and they did not allow officers and soldiers like Huang San and others who had recently joined the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps to rush to the front.
Huang San poked out half of his head and looked forward. On a big rock not far from them, two bandits with guns were sitting on it. They should be two sentries.
Several agile black figures surrounded the bandit sentry who was sitting on the big rock talking and laughing from both sides.
In Huang San's surprised eyes, he saw the outflanking black shadows suddenly burst out, making almost no sound. The two bandit sentries were quietly pulled off the stone. Soon the vanguard stood up.
The team continues to move forward.
When Huang San passed by the stone, he found that the necks of the two bandit sentries had been cut off. They were like two pieces of mud being thrown under the big stone.
Huang San couldn't help but feel a chill in his neck when he thought of the quick and easy way he had just gone up to deal with the bandit sentry brothers.
If it were him, he would never be able to escape such a sudden attack. He couldn't help but admire the Flame Special Forces members who were sneaking in front of the team.
There were members of the Lieyan special forces in front cleaning up the outposts arranged by the bandits. Everything went so smoothly that it was unbelievable. Huang San and the others quickly arrived a few hundred meters away from the bandits' first line of defense and lurked, waiting for the order to attack.
"You deal with the one on the left, and I'll deal with the one on the right."
In the shadow of the canopy of two big trees behind Huang San and his attacking troops, snipers Wu Hao and Zhang Haizheng placed their sniper rifles with scopes on the tree branches. They were responsible for suppressing the heavy firepower of the bandits.
"good!"
Wu Hao turned the muzzle of the gun to the right, and the cross in the scope was pointed at the machine gunner who was leaning on a sandbag and smoking on the bandits' machine gun position.
Not long after they waited, the battalion commander Blacksmith gave the order to attack. The company responsible for the attack suddenly jumped up from the darkness and went straight to the bandits' first line of defense.
The sudden movement of more than a hundred brothers jumping up from the ground immediately attracted the attention of the bandits. When they saw the dense crowd in the darkness, their faces turned pale and they hurriedly grabbed their guns.
"Brothers, fight!"
I don't know who shouted in the darkness, and the rifles and machine guns in the brothers' hands opened fire one after another, with tongues of fire spurting out from the muzzles, and dense bullets swept towards the bandits' defense line.
The bandits who were still standing there and had not reacted were suddenly hit by the hail of bullets, causing a cloud of blood mist to rise up. They all fell down wailing.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The two machine gunners of the bandits moved very quickly. They hurriedly opened the gun. As soon as they turned the muzzle of the gun, a bloody hole appeared on their foreheads, and the unabated bullets blasted out the back of their heads.
A skeleton as big as a fist.
Wu Hao and Zhang Hai fired almost at the same time. The two bandits' machine gunners fell down before they could fire a single shot.
Seeing the machine gunner who fell straight down, facing the sudden sound of gunfire, the deputy who reacted hurriedly pressed on the gunner and pressed the trigger without letting go.
"Da da da......"
The machine gun spurted out a stream of flames, and the flying bullets swept out, making mud pillars pop up in the soil within the shooting range. In panic, the bandit's machine gun's accuracy was frighteningly bad, and even
None of the charging officers and soldiers were hit.
Before one magazine was empty, the bandit's two machine guns misfired again, and the deputy followed in the footsteps of their main shooter.
The bandits lost the suppression of machine gun fire. The bandits armed with rifles were suppressed by several machine guns in a row and could not raise their heads. From a distance of several hundred meters, the brothers arrived in an instant.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
When the brothers were just a few dozen meters away from breaking through the bandits' first trench, the bandits' fortress finally remembered the roar of machine guns, and dense bullets shrouded them. The brothers who rushed towards them hurriedly rolled to dodge.
