The troops rushed further and further away. In order to get as close as possible to the command, Li Hao led the former enemy headquarters directly behind the third echelon.
"Commander, the special agent company has reached the vicinity of the Japanese and puppet army station and is launching an assault on the station." A messenger ran over to report.
Li Hao raised his binoculars and saw that the secret service company was using mortars and grenade launchers to fire artillery shells and grenades at the Japanese and puppet garrison for free.
On the Japanese and puppet army positions in front of the spy company, fireballs rose from the ground one after another. However, no matter how the artillery exploded, the enemy's firepower did not weaken, blocking the spy company more than two hundred meters away, and they could not advance or retreat.
No.
Li Hao frowned and analyzed: "The offensive firepower of the secret service company must be too weak to suppress the enemy's blocking firepower. He ordered the third echelon to rush up immediately, and the two echelons joined together to continue the assault on the Japanese and puppet army garrison. The Japanese must be
Fight out the puppet army’s conspiracy.”
"If there is no conspiracy, go directly to the headquarters and annihilate all the Japanese and puppet troops."
Hong Linfeng stood nearby and immediately took the order: "I'm going to give the order now!"
Time passed little by little, and ten minutes later, the guard company also stopped next to the station and began to attack the station.
Twenty minutes later, the independent company also attacked and arrived.
Together with the second offensive echelon composed of two main battalions, nearly 2,000 Eighth Route Army troops launched an attack on the garrison at the same time.
Artillery shells rained down on the inside of the station, causing the blocking position to be filled with artillery fire.
But no matter how hard the attacking troops fought, the blocking firepower from the blocking position never weakened.
The attacking troops were like running into an iron wall, unable to move forward any further.
Hong Linfeng became more and more frightened as he watched, and quickly reminded him.
"Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops fought very resolutely. We fired at least a thousand mortar shells at the station, but they managed to hold on without collapsing."
"Let all the heavy mortar platoons, thunder artillery platoons, and mountain artillery platoons from the two battalions come forward." Li Hao ordered with a stern face.
"As long as the Japanese and puppet troops in the camp are still flesh and blood, our attack firepower is strong enough, and we will definitely be able to tear open a hole and enter their camp."
The commander of the Japanese army headquarters stood on the roof of the headquarters, calmly watching the battle a few hundred meters away.
Order soldiers and operational staff officers were coming in and out, delivering the latest battle reports from the front line and the latest orders from the regimental commanders.
"Rumble..."
Several thunderous explosions suddenly reached the commander's ears, and then he saw several fireballs more than ten meters high rising into the sky.
The commander of the regiment's staff suddenly reminded, "Captain of the regiment, it's a flying thunder cannon. The Eighth Route Army is about to launch a general attack."
"Order the mortar squadrons, infantry artillery squads, and mountain artillery units of the two brigades to immediately counterattack and destroy these torpedo cannons." The commander of the regiment ordered calmly.
There were less than two thousand Eighth Route Army troops gathered outside the garrison, which was much less than I expected.
He wanted to wait until the number of Eighth Route Army troops stationed outside the camp exceeded 3,000 before counterattacking.
"Boom boom boom..."
The mountain artillery position outside the village responded quickly.
Amidst the roaring sound of artillery, the artillery shells flew towards the Eighth Route Army artillery position with a harsh scream.
Two seconds later, a large fire broke out from the Eighth Route Army's artillery position. It took another two seconds before the violent explosion reached everyone's ears.
"Boom boom..."
The infantry artillery also joined the battle. Together with the mountain artillery squadron, one round of artillery shells for you and one for me made the Eighth Route Army artillery positions rumble with gunfire and splashing fire...
The serious expression on the captain's face relaxed a lot.
Without the two threats of mortars and thunder cannons, the troops in the blocking position will definitely be able to block the Eighth Route Army's attack.
As time goes by, the garrison that has been unable to attack for a long time will become anxious.
When the artillery fire is suppressed, as long as they still want to attack the garrison, the only way is to increase the offensive force.
As long as there are no more accidents on the battlefield, in ten minutes, the garrison will overwhelm all the attacking troops.
If you counterattack when the time comes, you will definitely be able to severely damage the defense group and achieve an unprecedented victory.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The gunfire from the mountain artillery position rang again.
But the explosion that came this time was obviously more violent than the gunfire.
"It's an artillery shell explosion!" the artillery staff member was the first to react.
Looking at the report of the regiment commander: "Sir, the mountain artillery position was attacked. The explosion just now was too loud. It should have been caused by the explosion of a 120 mm caliber mortar shell."
"Rumble..."
The captain was stunned for a moment. Before he could recover from the shock, the second round of explosions had already followed.
The mountain artillery position was too close here, and the hot air waves and shock waves generated by the explosion of the artillery shells swept over like a tornado.
The captain of the unit stood on the roof and bore the brunt of the blow, almost being blown down.
Looking towards the mountain artillery position, I couldn't see anything except the splashing firelight, the blown corpses of the imperial soldiers, the soil, the ammunition boxes...
At this time, a messenger rushed over in a hurry: "Sir, the mountain artillery squadron and the infantry artillery position were attacked at the same time. It was the mountain artillery and 120 mm caliber mortars. We suffered heavy losses!"
As soon as the messenger finished reporting to the Chief of Staff, he hurriedly reported: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army artillery has resumed firing, and there are also flying thunder cannons involved in the attack. The garrison has suffered heavy casualties, and it will definitely not last long."
The lethality of poison gas bombs is too great. If the Eighth Route Army is allowed to attack the garrison and the enemy and our armies get into a melee and then fire artillery, the enemy and ourselves will definitely be injured.
At this time, some people may say: We all wear gas masks. After the shelling starts, as long as we put on the gas masks in time, the poisonous gas will definitely kill all the Eighth Route Army troops.
In fact, this is not the case: on the melee battlefield, the enemy and our armies are fighting together, and any negligence may be caught by the opponent, and then a fatal blow will occur.
After the shelling started, everyone had no time to put on gas masks in the face of the rapidly spreading poisonous gas.
If someone stopped to put on a gas mask, his opponent would surely seize the opportunity to kill him with a bayonet in his chest.
It takes several seconds for the poisonous gas to spread and kill people, which is enough time for the Eighth Route Army to complete all this.
If you are lucky, some Eighth Route Army soldiers will be able to grab gas masks and put them on themselves.
Once this happens, these Eighth Route Army troops will survive the poison gas and continue to have combat effectiveness.
If the troops want to eliminate them, they will definitely have to pay a high price...
Therefore, when the artillery fires poison gas bombs, no Eighth Route Army troops can enter the garrison.
The commander of the regiment immediately gave the order: "The Eighth Route Army cannot be allowed to break through our defense line."
"Order Mr. Murata to immediately fire out the 300 poison gas bombs he has prepared, and hit them all at the offensive position of the garrison. I will kill all the Eighth Route Army there, avenge the shame of the past, and avenge the death of the Imperial Army in the previous battle.
"
"Order all front-line troops to put on gas masks to avoid being accidentally injured by gas bombs. Everyone should be prepared for counterattack. When seeing three signal flares, all bayonets are attached and they go out!"
