While listening, Li Hao looked for the specific locations of the three coal mines on the map and marked them with a pencil.
After He Jun said that he had just finished searching, and then stared at the three points on the map, as if there was some secret hidden in them.
Hong Linfeng was the first to respond: "Captain, do you want to attack these three coal mines first?"
Li Hao nodded to express his acquiescence, but did not say how to fight specifically.
Hong Linfeng became anxious and immediately expressed his thoughts: "If we really want to attack them, I suggest attacking these two coal mines first!"
Hong Linfeng pointed to the two points farthest from Datong City on the map and analyzed: "These two coal mines have the largest number of little Japs stationed there. Killing them is like cutting off the two little Japs' arms. It will definitely reduce our chances of attacking Datong to the greatest extent."
pressure."
Li Hao shook his head, pointed to the point closest to Datong City, and replied unexpectedly: "My idea is exactly the opposite of yours. I want to attack this coal mine."
Of the three large coal mines, this coal mine was the least considered by Hong Linfeng.
Hong Linfeng didn't understand the group leader's decision. He looked at him with a worried look on his face and reminded: "Captain, think twice, this coal mine is too close to Datong City."
"The infantry can kill them by marching in more than two hours. If you have a car to travel, it only takes half an hour."
"Although the coal mine only has more than 300 escorts and more than 100 Japanese soldiers, the fortifications are very strong. Even if we use mountain artillery, we may not be able to end the battle within half an hour."
"If you get stuck by the Japs who were killed in Datong, you will suffer a big loss."
Li Hao was not persuaded by Hong Linfeng and replied with a cold snort: "It's because this coal mine is so close to Datong City that I decided to use it to test the calf!"
"As for Datong City, it's best if they don't send troops. If they do, I'll eat as many as they come."
Hong Linfeng looked at Li Hao thoughtfully.
After a few seconds, he suddenly came to his senses, suddenly realized and shouted: "I understand, Commander, do you want to surround the point for reinforcements and directly weaken the strength of the Datong garrison?"
Li Hao nodded and affirmed: "There is also a purpose of attacking in the east and attacking in the west."
"By attracting all the Japs' attention here, we can take the opportunity to disperse the troops who entered Datong, secretly surround Datong City, and eliminate all the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city, without giving them a chance to enter the city."
Dongshan Coal Mine (fictional) is a large coal mine 13 kilometers east of Datong City. It produces a large amount of coal every day and is continuously sent to the three northeastern provinces and Japan through railways.
After dark, the coal mine that had been busy all day slowly became quiet.
From a distance, you can see four three-story blockhouses nearly ten meters high surrounding the coal mine. They are all made of cement and stone and are very solid.
Ordinary mortar shells can only leave a white spot on the outer wall of the turret, but cannot cause any damage to the turret itself.
Each artillery tower was stationed with a combat detachment of the Japanese army and a mine protection team of more than 20 people.
Equipped with a heavy machine gun, a grenade launcher, two light machine guns, and nearly thirty rifles, the firepower is very powerful.
There are two huge searchlights on the top of the turret.
The bright lamppost can illuminate three to four hundred meters away.
Under the control of the Japanese on duty, a total of eight lampposts were swept around the coal mine to prevent anyone from approaching the coal mine.
There are more than a dozen machine gun bunkers scattered among the gun towers.
Like the turrets, they are also built of cement and stone.
Some bunkers are on the bright side, just like the turrets. The dark shooting holes can be clearly seen from a long distance, just like open mouths, which is very scary.
Some bunkers were hidden by the Japanese, and they didn't know where the shooting holes were.
Inside the mine, all absentees were locked up in the barracks closest to the mine, and more than a dozen members of the mine protection team were guarding the outside.
If someone is caught dishonestly, they may punch and kick him, severely injure him, and leave him to die in a mine; or they may reward him with a bullet and take his life directly, which is cruel and bloody.
In front of the mine is where the Japanese army and mine protection team are stationed.
Most Japanese people are resting.
Some of the Japs on guard duty stayed on the roof of the turret, and some of the Japs stayed on patrol inside the mines. They were heavily guarded and did not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of them.
On a high ground one kilometer away from the coal mine, Li Hao hid in the bushes, stretched out his head, and observed the coal mine with a telescope.
He Jun had already obtained the military layout of the coal mine.
Li Hao studied it over and over again, and he was already familiar with it. With his eyes closed, he knew where there were gun towers and machine gun bunkers...
Of course, what is marked on the layout plan are the fortifications that can be seen on the surface.
The fortifications and firepower points that are hidden and invisible to the naked eye can only be forced out bit by bit through fighting.
What Li Hao is doing now is to confirm whether the enemy situation he saw on the battlefield is exactly the same as that collected by the reconnaissance force, and to see if he can find one or two hidden bunkers and machine gun fire points.
It was too far away from the coal mine and it was dark. After watching for half an hour, Li Hao only found the gun towers and bunkers that the reconnaissance team had determined in advance, and nothing else.
Putting down the telescope, he replied helplessly: "It's almost time to attack."
"Let's test the sword with the calf here first, make a strategic layout, and then launch a general attack on the enemy tomorrow night."
Hong Linfeng immediately ordered the communications troops standing nearby: "Notify all participating troops to start the attack according to the original battle plan."
"Da da da……"
The heavy machine gun fired first, the first shot of the entire attack.
Tracer bullets sandwiched between ordinary bullets flew toward the top of the turret like meteors, guiding the machine gunners to a clear trajectory of bullet flight.
The machine gunner quickly adjusted the muzzle of the gun, corrected the trajectory, and fired a string of heavy machine gun bullets onto the roof of the turret.
The bright searchlight was instantly knocked out, and several screams sounded from the top of the turret.
Without the searchlight, it immediately becomes dark outside the coal mine.
The attacking troops seized the opportunity to emerge from their hiding spots, holding guns and engineering shovels, and quickly moved forward.
At this moment, the Japanese in the gun tower also showed their strong fighting power to the fullest.
React quickly.
Light and heavy machine guns and rifles stretched out their shooting holes and fired outwards, and the sound of various gunshots quickly rang out.
But because there was no lighting and everything was dark, they could only shoot randomly around the coal mine.
The attacking troops seized the time and quickly moved forward.
When he was less than 200 meters away from the turret, he stopped neatly and lay down on the ground. He replaced his rifle with an engineer's shovel and dug a hole in the ground as fast as he could. The excavated soil was piled in front of him.
After a few minutes, a small mound formed in front of them.
Everyone did not stop and continued to deepen and enlarge the pit so that they could get in and continue digging...
"boom……"
A flare rose from the coal mine, finally lighting up the dark battlefield.
The Japanese were surprised to find that hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops were densely dispersed more than 200 meters outside the coal mine.
They all hid behind the newly dug mounds, dug trenches, and repaired fortifications.
