The brick and wood structure turret can withstand the attacks of various bullets and mortar shells, but it cannot withstand the bombardment of direct-aimed artillery.
After twenty artillery shells hit the outer wall of the blockhouse and exploded in just one minute, one of the blockhouses was destroyed on the spot, leaving only a dozen Japanese and puppet troops relying on the ring fortifications outside the blockhouse to resist desperately.
Although the other blockhouse did not collapse, it looked crumbling.
In order not to be buried in the rubble, more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops who were hiding in the blockhouse all rushed out of the blockhouse and relied on the ring fortifications on the ground to fight.
"Attack!" Commander Wang ordered decisively.
He prepared a battalion of attacking troops for each gun tower.
The total strength of the opponent's Japanese and puppet troops consisted of one squad of puppet troops and one squad of Japanese soldiers, and they also lost many people in shelling.
A main battalion rushes over like an overwhelming force, and can easily kill them even if they risk their lives!
Soon, the battle was over.
The two battalions did not stop, and assumed an offensive posture to attack other gun towers on the defense line!
"The direct team will go first to avoid all the Japs... The reconnaissance battalion will follow closely, and the guard company will follow behind to wipe out the traces of our march. Take action immediately and penetrate the Japs defense line within ten minutes. We must not let the little Japs know that so many of us are coming from
Their defense line has passed and is lurking in their hinterland!"
Commander Wang kept his eyes on the battlefield and saw that as soon as the direct team started to take action, they put out the bonfires blown up by the artillery shells on the battlefield.
In two or three minutes, the ruins where the two gun towers were located were completely shrouded in darkness. Even Wang Ping could not see where he broke out from. Wang Ping was shocked again.
"Now I finally understand how powerful fighting is. Apart from anything else, many of us can't compare to caution alone!"
"Put out all the open fires on the battlefield. Even if there are little Japanese scouts hidden nearby, they don't know that one of our troops is passing between the two gun towers and entering their hinterland!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a communications soldier rushed over.
"Chief, the Japanese reinforcements are coming. In ten minutes we will be at war with the First Battalion!"
"They came so quickly, how many people there are!" Commander Wang frowned and exclaimed.
"A reinforced squadron, more than 200 little Japs, and a company of puppet troops, about 400 people in total, with heavy machine guns and mortars!"
"One battalion left one company behind to slow down the assault speed of this Japanese and puppet army! The other troops retreated quickly~"
"The second battalion left one company to monitor the Japanese and puppet reinforcements that might come from the east, and gradually retreated back. The other troops quickly retreated here..."
"Four infantry companies, plus the firepower company that has not been on the battlefield, prepare a pocket formation here for the little devils. Commander Zhou, you have been complaining that I have snatched your command right now. Now I have given this command right to you."
Return it to you, and you must prepare this counter-ambush for me."
"I don't ask you to kill these 400-day puppet army, but you must catch them off guard and inflict heavy damage on them!"
"Also, a lot of light and heavy machine guns and ammunition must have been captured in the two strongholds we just captured. Use them to directly supplement the troops to participate in the battle!"
"After the ambush battle begins, we must use all the firepower of the troops. Don't save ammunition for me, and try to use firepower to kill the little devils. When to retreat, follow my orders!"
Commander Zhou rushed to the battlefield with his fire company when he met the political commissar who was organizing troops to clean up the battlefield.
"Political Commissar, how many guns can be used in the two gun towers~"
"Two heavy machine guns, four light machine guns, more bullets, 30,000 rounds for sure!" the political commissar replied with a smile.
"Okay, our group will be rich today!" Captain Zhou replied with excitement on his face.
Then he ordered: "Two heavy machine guns are directly given to the fire company, so that we have eight heavy machine guns... I remember Commander Wang said when he was at the headquarters, the heavy machine guns are more effective when used together than dispersed.
Tonight we will gather eight heavy machine guns together to fight the Japanese, and let the Japanese feel what it is like to be covered by our firepower!"
"Four companies will be back in a moment, each with light machine guns, ready to fight!"
"Would it be a violation of discipline to equip the troops directly?" the political commissar subconsciously asked.
Although he was also jealous of these six light and heavy machine guns, the four infantry cannons of the artillery battalion directly under the military region played a vital role in the troops being able to capture two gun towers. Not surprisingly, these six light and heavy machine guns must be the military region's
, and then the military region decides which unit to use it.
"No, this is the commander's order. Directly equip the troops to ambush the 400-day puppet army that the little devil has killed!"
"Would it be too risky for four companies to ambush the puppet troops for 400 days?" The political commissar then showed a worried expression.
You know, in the past, when fighting against the Japanese and puppet troops, the troops had to assemble at least one regiment when facing so many Japanese and puppet troops. But now, there are not even half a regiment of troops participating in the battle.
"No risk!" Captain Zhou replied confidently.
"In the past, we needed machine guns without machine guns, and ammunition without ammunition. We had no choice but to compete with the Japanese for strength!"
"It's different now. The military region has just added three heavy machine guns and five or six light machine guns to our regiment. Now there are two more heavy machine guns and four more light machine guns. Moreover, the commander also said that we can use the ammunition at our disposal.
No need to save, no limit..."
"So, I am full of confidence in the next battle..."
The political commissar was stunned, not expecting the commander to give such an order.
But he reacted quickly and happily said: "In this case, let's make a big splash!
"Captain, how do you plan to fight!"
"Use the method Commander Wang said at the headquarters, concentrate the heavy machine gun firepower to hit the Japanese heavy machine gunners and gunners...concentrate the light machine gun firepower, kill the Japanese light machine gun team and commander, and then deal with their infantry.
Finally fight against the puppet troops!"
"Da da da……"
Intensive machine gun fire sounded, and the ambush began.
Under the cover of night, the flames ejected from the muzzle of the heavy machine gun were so intense that Commander Wang could see clearly from several hundred meters away.
Seeing Commander Zhou gathering a total of eight heavy machine guns to shoot at the Japs, Commander Wang, although he did not come to the scene in person, could imagine that the little Japs who were targeted by eight heavy machine guns at the same time had no chance to hide even if they wanted to.
The bullets flying over the sky were smashed into a sieve!
The situation on the battlefield was indeed the same. There were fifty or sixty heavy machine gunners and artillerymen with their weapons still on their shoulders, and the bullets flying over them smashed them into pieces.
In just three seconds, most of the machine gunners and gunners fell to the ground.
The remaining Japanese soldiers who were alive immediately fell to the ground, and then moved towards the heavy machine gun not far away, hoping to fight back.
However, their heavy machine gun was already blocked, and before it even touched the heavy machine gun, a string of bullets flew towards him.
"Commander, the enemy's strengthened artillery squad and heavy machine gun squad are finished! The power of the heavy machine gun's concentrated strafing is extremely powerful. It can kill dozens of Japs as soon as it comes up. Moreover, they are the heavy machine gunners and artillerymen who pose the greatest threat to us!" squatted Wang
The chief of staff next to the commander reported with excitement.
