Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters are used to good days
As soon as he finished speaking, the telegraph machine next to him turned on again, and then the familiar sound of sending and receiving telegraphs rang out.
"Commander, the reconnaissance force reported that the Japs who were searching for us more than 20 kilometers away have begun to retreat!" the operator reported excitedly as soon as he received the telegram.
Hong Ruijun became even more excited and couldn't help shouting: "The little devil has been fooled!"
"Captain, should we set off now?"
Wang Ping made a decision without thinking: "Let's leave now. In this area, the main force of the Japs is concentrated on the front line and important transportation lines. As long as we bypass the highway and avoid the checkpoints and patrols arranged by the Japs on the road, no matter
The little devils who keep searching for us won’t be able to find us!”
"Let's all set off and return to the base!"
At the Hongcun stronghold, the sound of gunfire and the explosion of artillery shells has lasted for nearly half an hour from the beginning to now.
"Battal Commander, all the Japs' fortifications outside the stronghold have been bombarded by our infantry artillery. At least one small group of Japs and one company of puppet troops have been killed. The remaining Japanese and puppet troops have all retreated to the stronghold to hold on!"
Jiang Chao, commander of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, reported with excitement on his face.
It is certain that the attack in front of him is the most efficient one he has fought since he became a soldier.
As long as you encounter a hard nut on the offensive road, you will immediately call for artillery support and tear the opponent to pieces in an instant.
After destroying so many Japanese and puppet troops, as the main offensive force, the entire company's casualties did not exceed one platoon. In Jiang Chao's view, this can be said to be a miracle.
Xiong Changhe's expression was not good-looking. Although he had already deployed a company to slow down the reinforcements sent by Linfen City, it was unclear that this company would not be able to hold on for long. He had to fight against the odds to buy himself four hours.
And now, half an hour has passed, and we have just captured the outer positions of the stronghold. There is still a long way to go before we can win the stronghold, and the next attack will definitely be more difficult. A bad thing, I think
The dream of taking the Hongcun stronghold through this offensive will be impossible to realize.
"Too slow!" Although he knew that saying this would damage the morale of his subordinates, Xiong Changhe still shook his head and replied.
"If we continue fighting like this, we won't be able to capture the stronghold until the Japanese reinforcements arrive! What do you think, do the troops have any way to attack the stronghold? The peripheral positions of the stronghold are just a piece of cake, but the stronghold is the real tough nut!"
Jiang Chao's face suddenly turned ugly, and he shook his head and replied: "Not yet!"
"The Japs in the stronghold are equipped with mortars, but they are always hidden and useless. I don't dare to let the infantry artillery get too close, otherwise they will definitely be a living target for the Japs' mortars!"
"In addition, they are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. As soon as we approached, we were hit by their fierce firepower. Now the troops are still blocked more than 100 meters away from the stronghold and have no way to move forward!"
Xiong Changhe didn't say a word nonsense, he frowned and rushed to the battlefield.
Soon, several people reached behind a broken wall.
In the stronghold more than 100 meters away, the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese fired a stream of bullets here from time to time, pinning the attack of a company to the starting position, unable to move.
"Battal Commander, there are at least three Japanese heavy machine guns and six light machine guns in front of us. There are also three mortars and six grenade launchers. In addition, the Japanese have precise marksmanship. When we first came up, I asked people to charge.
Once, we lost nearly twenty soldiers before we even rushed thirty meters away!" Jiang Chao pointed at the thousand dark Japanese strongholds opposite and introduced.
There were infantry artillery that could not be used, and the enemy had an absolute firepower advantage. For a while, Xiong Changhe could not think of a good way to attack.
If the attack time is sufficient, Xiong Changhe has several ways in his mind to capture the stronghold in front of him. However, what Xiong Changhe lacks most now is time.
At this moment, the instructor's voice suddenly sounded from behind several people.
"Old Xiong, I think you are used to living a good life, and you won't even think about fighting when you don't have the firepower advantage!"
"I remember when we were in the Soviet area, we attacked the enemy's bunker and gun tower, not to mention cannons, not even machine guns, but we still captured them!"
The instructor was a veteran of the Red Army, and Xiong Changhe has always attached great importance to his words.
Therefore, Xiong Changhe reacted immediately, stared at the instructor and asked: "Old Liang, you mean we use the old method when we were in the Soviet area to attack the Japanese stronghold!"
The instructor nodded and affirmed: "The old method is often no worse than the cannons and heavy machine guns we have!"
"Take the battle in front of us as an example. If guns and artillery cannot capture the stronghold, we can easily capture the Japanese stronghold in front of us by using the old and local methods of attacking the stronghold!"
Xiong Changhe's eyes lit up and he stared at the instructor and asked.
"Lao Liang, have you already thought of a solution?"
"The fire is almost burning to my eyebrows. No matter what old method or local method, as long as we can capture the stronghold in front of us, we can give it a try!"
The instructor immediately replied: "I have the guard platoon ready!"
Soon, two tables covered with several wet quilts were carried over by the security platoon, along with several explosive packs and cluster grenades!
"Earth tank!" Xiong Changhe immediately thought of the method the instructor said.
Then he ordered: "Concentrate the firepower of the entire battalion and beat up the Japanese in the stronghold. All weapons are ringing, don't save ammunition for me!"
"The guards formed a line and came to me with their tanks. When they got close to the Japanese stronghold, they used cluster grenades and explosive packs to blow them up!"
"Others provided fire cover, one company after another, advancing behind the tanks to increase the firepower of the attacking troops!"
"The artillery platoon and the grenade squad are all ready for me. As soon as the Japanese artillery and grenade launchers fire, they will immediately counterattack. Even if the mortar is bombed, the Japanese artillery can't let the Japanese artillery blow up the two tanks.
Got it!"
"Start the attack!"
As soon as Xiong Changhe tried his best, the Japanese in the stronghold felt the pressure.
However, they were still full of confidence in holding the stronghold. Therefore, the entire defensive battle was still fought in an orderly manner and did not fall into panic because of Xiong Changhe's desperate efforts.
However, as two earthen tanks appeared in front of them, and faced the bullets, they got closer to the stronghold little by little.
More importantly, dozens of Eighth Route Army troops were hiding behind two earthen tanks, either crouching forward or lying on the ground. The Japanese in the stronghold finally panicked.
Many light and heavy machine guns turned their muzzles and fired at the tanks, trying to block the monsters in the mouths of these two Japanese.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooota..." Soon, the Japanese's unused mortars and grenade launchers started firing, and all the shells hit the tanks and exploded.
Fortunately for Xiong Changhe, the tank stopped for a moment and then moved on!
