"I just carefully observed that these bunkers are made of large stone slabs and cement. They are many times stronger than the turrets we encountered before. The infantry artillery shells hit them, and they were lifted up to the sky.
A white spot. Unless the cannonball directly penetrates the shooting hole and explodes in the bunker!" Wang Ping analyzed with a serious look.
"If my guess is correct, the little devils must have started building these strongholds and machine gun bunkers since we came out of the mountain!"
Xiao Yunshan was anxious: "What should we do? The enemy's firepower in the attack was too fierce, and our people simply couldn't withstand the consumption. Mortars and infantry artillery can't do it either. Could it be that we are stuck here?"
"The Japanese's machine gun bunker is right on the top of the mountain. From a commanding position, whether it is a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun, it can completely block the entire highway. Unless these machine gun bunkers are destroyed, we will not be able to rush through!"
At this time, Tang Guangxin suddenly came over: "Captain, is it possible to take a small road instead of a road and bypass the Japanese machine gun bunker?"
"A few dozen people are fine. There are more than a thousand of us, and we have brought so much supplies and heavy equipment. It is impossible to walk on a small road. Unless we give up most of the supplies and all heavy equipment, and only let people enter the mountain!" Wang Ping shook his head and answered.
.
Xiao Yunshan then added: "It is absolutely impossible to give up supplies, especially food. With so many people entering the mountain, if there is no food, the army will collapse in a few days!"
"What should we do? There are so many of us, but we are blocked here by four machine gun bunkers!" Tang Guangxin frowned and complained.
Wang Ping looked very unhappy and replied sullenly: "The little devil has given us a difficult problem!"
"As expected, Matsumoto of Linfen City must have received the news that we are going to enter the mountains from here, and is now mobilizing troops to attack us and besiege us. If we cannot take down these machine gun bunkers as soon as possible and enter the mountains, we will probably be
The Japanese are blocked here, annihilate them all!"
"We must not be blocked here!" Xiao Yunshan suddenly said, with a very firm tone.
Then he showed a determined expression and asked Wang Ping to fight: "Captain, do you want me to charge again and blow it up with grenades and explosive packs? As long as we can enter the mountain, it's worth it if we fight all the second company!"
"The key is that you can't take down the machine gun bunker on the top of the mountain even if you fight all the Second Company!" Wang Ping shook his head and refused.
Now every veteran of the new regiment is a seed to Wang Ping. The troops are at his doorstep and there must not be any more losses.
As for this kind of behavior of fighting even though you know that attacking will lead to death, Wang Ping will definitely not agree with it.
At this time, Wang Ping thought of the thunder cannon. Even if it could not directly destroy the four machine gun bunkers, its powerful power could still stun the Japanese in the bunkers.
But this idea was rejected by Wang Ping as soon as it came to mind.
The New Regiment does not have flying thunder cannons, so even if it were done now, it would take time, and what the New Regiment lacks most now is time.
At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly asked a question that neither of them understood.
"If we are the ones guarding the bunker and the Japs attack us, what do you think the Japs will do?"
"Call airplanes for support. No matter how strong the bunker is, it can't withstand being bombed by empty bombs!" Xiao Yunshan replied.
Wang Ping shook his head and asked: "What else? The Japanese have planes, but we don't. This method has no reference value for us at all!"
"We used poison gas bombs. We didn't have gas masks. I remember that the Japanese used poison gas bombs during their raids last year. A company of troops was literally poisoned to death on the battlefield by the Japanese with poison gas. No one was rescued!" Xiao Yunshan said.
He said with an expression of gritted teeth.
It was obvious that he was frightened and filled with anger at the use of gas bombs by the Japanese on the battlefield.
"Poison gas! Yes, it's poison gas. We don't have airplanes, but we can make our own poison gas bombs!" Wang Ping shouted with surprise on his face.
Xiao Yunshan and Tang Guangxin were immediately shocked.
Especially Xiao Yunshan, because he had lingering fears about poison gas, he immediately reminded: "Commander, please don't act recklessly. The headquarters has an order that poison gas bombs must not be used on the battlefield. This is a mistake, and I remember that we have never seized poison gas bombs."
"
No one knows better than Wang Ping that using poison gas bombs makes mistakes and violates discipline. Otherwise, he would have been the brigade commander by now and would not have joined the new regiment.
Therefore, Wang Ping will never make the same mistake twice.
"Don't worry, the gas bombs I'm talking about and the gas bombs used by the Japanese are completely different things. No mistakes will be made!"
Then he stared at Xiao Yunshan for confirmation: "I remember that when we attacked the Japanese blockade, we didn't find any gas masks on the Japanese!"
"No, we haven't seized it several times. The little devils must have known that we didn't have poison gas, so they didn't issue gas masks."
"However, we captured some when we attacked the stronghold, but not many, only a few dozen!"
Wang Ping answered with certainty, "Dozens of gas masks are enough!"
Then he began to give orders: "Tang Guangxin, take someone back immediately and bring twenty artillery shells. Also, ask Company Commander Yang for some chili powder. If you don't have it, go to a nearby village to find it immediately. As far as I know, everyone here
Every household has a lot of dried chili peppers. The spicier the better. Send them to me as soon as you find them!"
"There are also gas masks. Ask Company Commander Wang to send someone to deliver them too!"
"Finally, tell Xiong Changhe to immediately organize the prisoners, bring supplies, and move here. As soon as we capture the Japanese bunker and open a breakthrough, the troops will enter the mountain immediately."
"Tang Guangxin, after you bring the things to me, take people to the back to guard. I'm worried that the mobile troops deployed by the Japanese on the blockade will come over in advance!"
Cannonballs and paprika were quickly delivered.
Wang Ping did it himself, unscrewing the fuse, pouring out the explosive inside the bomb, then putting powdered chili powder into it, then loading it with explosives, and screwing on the fuse again. One chili pepper was enough.
In less than twenty minutes, all twenty cannonballs were modified by Wang Ping.
"Captain, this is the gas bomb you called!"
"It's not as powerful as poison gas bombs, and it can't kill people. But it's no less powerful than poison gas bombs!" Wang Ping answered confidently.
Suddenly, Tang Guangxin rushed over: "Captain, there's something going on. A squadron of Japanese soldiers are coming towards us, and a battalion of puppet troops are coming with them!"
"Where is Xiong Changhe? Have his troops arrived?" Wang Ping's most worried thing happened. He frowned and stared at Tang Guangxin and asked.
"They are on their way here, but the Japanese pursuers are very close to them, less than twenty minutes away. Also, Captain Xiong and the others can get here in just ten minutes."
Xiao Yunshan analyzed with worry on his face: "Captain, we must open a breakthrough within ten minutes. Company Commander Xiong and the others will enter the mountain as soon as they arrive, otherwise they will definitely be overtaken by the Japanese!"
"Ten minutes is enough!" Wang Ping answered confidently.
