The army commander became more and more excited as he thought about it. While staring at the sand table, he gave an order: "Contact the aviation force, send a few more aircraft to reinforce the offensive troops, kill the local troops and guerrillas gathered there as soon as possible in the garrison, and then divide the troops. It is time to occupy the garrison.
Those who occupy the base area of the garrison group should block the main force of the garrison group, and those who should block the main force of the garrison group should block the main force of the garrison group."
"The next actions will not wait for any surprises."
"Also, contact the Jinsui Army. If they are willing to cooperate with us to kill the garrison, I agree to ease the relationship with them and not take the initiative to attack their defense area within a year. At the same time, I will hand over all the coal mines southwest of Datong to them."
On the Laiyuan battlefield, the Japanese air force was very generous.
Three bombers in a formation rushed to the battlefield one after another to bomb the position where the Laiyuan Independent Battalion was defending.
Fortunately, this station is large enough, otherwise dozens of aerial bombs alone could plow the position all over.
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
The bomb fell from the sky, three black mushroom clouds rose into the sky, and then a thunderous explosion spread around.
The three planes showed off their power. After dropping their bombs, they passed over everyone's heads at an altitude of more than 100 meters. Then they flapped their wings and began to retreat.
After the plane left, the explosions did not stop.
More than fifty artillery pieces of various calibers roared one after another, and the shells were fired into the smoke-filled battlefield by the Japanese as if they were free of charge.
Five minutes later, the Japanese and puppet infantry began to take action.
Four directions attacked at the same time, with the puppet troops in front and the Japanese behind. They were like a tide, rushing towards the station in a mighty manner.
Thick smoke has completely enveloped the Laiyuan Independent Camp, making it impossible to see even one’s fingers. The acrid smell of gunpowder smoke is everywhere in the air.
Most of the rows of scattered barracks were bombed into ruins, leaving only a few ruins. The wood used to build the barracks was either burned to ashes, or was burning with billowing black smoke...
The flat training ground was gone. A quick glance revealed huge craters two to three meters deep everywhere.
At first glance, it looks like we are on the surface of the moon. The dense craters are like dotted meteor craters, which looks very permeable...
"The Japanese have begun to attack. Everyone who can still move, get up and enter the position..." An order suddenly sounded in the ruins.
Signs of loose soil suddenly appeared in the middle of the ruins, and then three holes appeared in the ruins. These were the anti-gun holes dug by the Laiyuan Independent Battalion when they built the garrison. I didn't expect that they would actually be used today.
It was pitch dark inside and you couldn't see your fingers. After a while, dozens of soldiers rushed out with guns in their hands.
They did not enter the position immediately, but rushed to the nearby ruins, digging for something on the ground quickly?
Two minutes later, the baffles blocking the entrance to the cave were found one after another.
After opening the baffle, holes of the same size were exposed behind them. Most of the holes had soldiers coming out of them, but there were still several holes that were found, but there was no movement inside.
Some brave soldiers got in, and within a few seconds there were several exclamations, and then a large number of dead soldiers' bodies were carried out.
Some of the cave entrances have been blown down, burying the soldiers hiding inside underground.
There is no point in even digging up the soil.
"Get into position quickly!" a company commander stood up and shouted.
The trenches have been bombed with gaps and craters everywhere, and their prototypes are almost invisible.
The company commander frowned after taking one look, and then saw the huge crater near the trench.
He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "One platoon enters the position and uses the trenches that can still be used to establish a position. The other troops rely on the bomb craters to fight. The Japanese and puppet troops are coming over."
"Light and heavy machine guns and mortars are all set up for me, but you can only shoot after hearing my order."
The Japanese commander was a military commander and he was full of confidence in the next attack.
In his eyes, although the place he wanted to attack was large, it was just a flat land without any usable terrain.
Based on his experience, such a position can be taken down without an infantry attack as long as the artillery fire is strong enough.
The planes just dropped at least forty bombs, and the artillery also fired thousands of shells, enough to plow this area.
Not to mention a living person, even a fly would be blown to ashes in the face of such fierce artillery fire.
Holding the command knife in one hand and holding the telescope in the other, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, observing the battlefield with a confident smile.
The attacking troops fought smoothly and vigorously without encountering any resistance. They easily reached the edge of the station and then split up to attack inside the station.
"Sir, there are troops rushing in!" the observation post shouted excitedly.
In the direction of the main gate of the station, two towering sentry boxes have been blown into ruins.
The two heavy machine gun positions below also turned into two huge craters.
The sandbags and logs used to build the bunker had long since been blown away.
The two-meter-high walls on both sides of the guard box were also blown to pieces, with gaps everywhere.
Some of the attacking troops assaulted at the gate, while others assaulted at the gap, preparing to pursue the victory and advance directly into the garrison.
The whole process did not encounter any obstruction. In the blink of an eye, many Japanese and puppet troops had already entered the station...
The smile on Colonel's face grew wider, and the result was almost exactly the same as his judgment.
The covering artillery fire was so fierce, and the Eighth Route Army guarding it were all local troops with poor combat effectiveness. It was normal for them to be bombed to pieces and lose their combat effectiveness...
If there is a large number of Eighth Route Army counterattacks in the garrison, it will be abnormal.
The colonel seemed to have victory in sight. He put down his telescope and decisively ordered: "Heavy machine gun troops follow up."
"There must be some remnants of the Eighth Route Army inside the garrison. We cannot rule out the possibility that they will fight us to the death. The attacking troops can enter the garrison, but the bullets fired by the heavy machine guns cannot fly into the garrison, and cannot provide fire cover."
"Only by advancing forward, with half of the heavy machine gun team providing long-range fire cover for the attacking troops along the wall, and half of the heavy machine gun team attacking with the team, providing close fire cover for the attacking troops, can the final victory be ensured at the minimum cost."
"The mortars must also seize the time to follow up and provide artillery cover to the attacking troops in a timely manner."
The messenger standing not far away immediately took action and waved a signal flag to give orders to the attacking troops.
The attacking troops reacted quickly, and half of the heavy machine guns quickly stopped firing, forming a group of more than ten people. Some carried guns and others carried ammunition, and quickly moved forward.
Half of the heavy machine guns continued to fire to cover the attacking troops and prevent accidents.
The colonel kept nodding his head as he watched. As long as the heavy machine guns and mortars were smoothly moved into place and mounted on the courtyard wall to straf the inside of the station, and the artillery could also provide artillery cover for the attacking troops, he would definitely win this attack.
Two hundred meters...one hundred and fifty meters...one hundred meters...
While watching, the colonel calculated the distance between the heavy machine gun troops and the artillery troops.
Just when the attacking troops were about to seal the victory, something unexpected happened. The troops that had just entered the garrison were like a flood that burst the embankment, and the soldiers scrambled to retreat from the gap.
It was only then that the colonel heard a sudden burst of machine gun fire from the station.
The sound was too dense and complicated, and it was difficult for the commander, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, to tell how many light and heavy machine guns were equipped in the station, and what was the ratio?
