"Rumble..." A series of dull shelling sounds reached Wang Ping's ears, and the four mountain cannons roared at the same time.
In an instant, four flames soared into the air on the outer wall of the turret a few hundred meters away, and then a violent explosion came.
"It's over, the Japs in the gun tower are over!" Rong Jun standing nearby shouted excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the turret standing more than ten meters high in the middle of the stronghold began to collapse. In the blink of an eye, the entire turret was turned into a pile of rubble in the explosion.
Dozens of Japs, a dozen light and heavy machine guns, and the captain of the Japs garrison were buried in the rubble.
The sudden shelling blew up the artillery tower in the middle of the Japanese stronghold and frightened other Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold who were rushing towards their positions.
"Bage Ya Road, the commander is in the gun tower, go and rescue the commander quickly!" A loyal squad leader shouted loudly.
"Our light and heavy machine guns are all in the turret. Without the light and heavy machine guns to provide fire cover, we can't stop the Tubal attack at all. Come over and see if we can salvage a few light and heavy machine guns!"
Dozens of Japanese and puppet troops rushed like crazy toward the gun towers that had been bombed into ruins.
"Woooooooo..."
At this time, the scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky came again.
"Baga, it's a mountain artillery bombardment. Everyone, please take cover and leave the gun tower!" A Japanese soldier who reacted quickly shouted loudly.
"Boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded around him.
A dozen Japanese and puppet troops who were at the forefront were submerged on the spot in the explosion.
The Japanese and puppet troops who were not affected by the explosion stopped rushing forward at this time and turned around and ran back.
At this time, the fool also knew that the artillery tower was being targeted by the Eighth Route Army artillery unit. No matter how powerful he was, he was still vulnerable to the powerful artillery shells.
"Everyone enter the position and block the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops!" After having no hope of rescuing weapons from the ruins of the gun towers, the Japanese could only pin their hopes on the ring of fortifications surrounding the stronghold.
Of course, some Japanese officers also pinned their hopes on the reinforcements: "Squadron leader Yu Suiqian has contacted the headquarters. The reinforcements from the headquarters must be on the way. As long as we withstand the Tubal Road attack for three hours, the reinforcements can kill
Come here and defeat the Eighth Route Army attacking troops!"
No matter what, the trenches can provide you with a place to temporarily save your life.
In just two minutes, nearly 500 Japanese puppet troops rushed into the trenches surrounding the stronghold.
At this time, a squad leader stepped forward to take over the command.
"Everyone, the Eighth Route Army has strong firepower and is also equipped with mountain artillery. Now that the gun towers are gone, we will definitely not be able to win against their firepower! I decided to fight the Eighth Route Army in close combat, using the bayonet that the Imperial Army is best at, slowly trenching
They are stalling for time and holding on until reinforcements arrive!"
The squad leader was very smart. Although the battle only lasted a few minutes, he had already clearly seen the advantages between the enemy and ourselves, and knew how to use his own advantages against the Eighth Route Army's disadvantages!
After the remaining two team captains had no objections, the team leader who just spoke directly began to issue the order: "Let the Imperial Alliance Army be in company units, block the front, and use firepower from the trenches and Tubal Road. The Imperial Army units are in small units, and lurk in the back.
, after the Eighth Route Army came over, they suddenly launched a counterattack and killed them with bayonets!"
"All the grenades are used together to provide fire cover for the Imperial Army and attack the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops from a long distance!"
As soon as the Japs finished setting up, the attack of the fourth battalion began. Three infantry platoons from one company combined in threes to form a huge three-to-three offensive square, rushing towards the Japanese and puppet strongholds in a mighty manner.
"Shoot, let all the Imperial Army troops shoot, otherwise you will die!" the Japanese squad leader lying behind the trench ordered with a murderous look on his face.
The order was passed to the trenches, and the faces of a hundred or so puppet soldiers instantly turned pale.
In the dark, the bullets fired by the light and heavy machine guns are like meteors, and everyone can see them clearly.
Although they did not look outside the trench, they could still clearly see the bullets whizzing past their heads.
There were too many flying bullets, and they were very dense. They were intertwined with each other and formed an airtight bullet net directly above the head.
If you let them show their heads from the trenches at this time, wouldn't that mean they are going to die?
Therefore, no matter how many orders were given by the Japanese behind him and the puppet troops around him, no one stood up.
There was really no other way. Being cornered by the Japanese, they simply put their rifles out of the trenches without raising their heads, and fired towards the outside, firing blanks.
As a result, there was a scene like this on the battlefield. The crackling gunshots kept ringing in the trenches, but the attacking 4th Battalion and 10th Company suffered no casualties and continued to charge forward with their rifles in hand.
"Bageyalu, these cunning Chinese people are really unreliable!" the Japanese squad leader gritted his teeth and cursed, his tone full of anger.
However, no matter what, the puppet troops in the trenches still attracted the attention of the fourth battalion with gunshots.
The light machine guns and heavy machine guns that provided cover fire all fired into the trenches.
The grenades and mortars stared at the exposed grenades and mortars of the Japanese and exchanged fire to cover the attacking troops.
As we got closer to the trench, the heavy machine gun stopped firing in order to avoid accidental damage.
The fierce offensive firepower was suddenly reduced by nearly half, leaving only seven or eight light machine guns accompanying the offensive team, which continued to fire bullets into the trenches.
At this time, an embarrassing and helpless scene occurred for the puppet troops.
There are Japanese soldiers watching from behind, the Eighth Route Army attacking in front, and bullets flying overhead. You are caught in the middle. No matter which side you turn to, the other side will bring you a devastating blow.
Many puppet soldiers had expressions of despair on their faces.
"Those who want to survive should lie down in the trenches and don't move. The Eighth Route Army will definitely throw grenades next, and everyone's lives will depend on it then!"
"If you are lucky enough to survive, we will surrender when the Eighth Route Army comes to kill us. If you are not lucky enough to survive, we will consider ourselves unlucky. Who allowed us to wear this skin!"
"The Eighth Route Army has started throwing grenades, everyone, get down!" an officer of the Royal Associated Army shouted loudly, and then the first one lay down in the trench, motionless.
"Boom!" As soon as he finished speaking, the grenades were dropped one after another.
Unlucky puppet troops were constantly being bombed to death, but from beginning to end, there was no sound of counterattack gunfire from the trenches, or grenades being thrown outside the trenches.
The commander of the 10th Company who led the team and the deputy commander of the 4th Battalion came in and slowly realized something was wrong.
"Stop, stop throwing grenades, there is a problem in the trenches!"
"The troops continue to rush forward and directly occupy the trench fortifications outside the Japanese stronghold!"
Forty meters...thirty meters...
When the trenches appeared in front of everyone, a row of Japanese heads suddenly appeared from behind a sandbag bunker not far behind the trenches.
