"Give me the mortars to keep an eye on the light and heavy machine guns behind Tuweizi and kill them all. The heavy machine guns will also fire, and give me the ability to suppress the Japanese and puppet infantry behind Tuweizi. I must not let them have a chance to show their heads and shoot!" Li
Hao ordered with a stern face.
The Japanese and puppet troops guarding behind Tuweizi were only troops on guard duty at night, with a total strength of less than fifty.
Suddenly, he was suppressed and fired by twenty mortars and nearly ten heavy machine guns. In the face of the steel storm composed of bullets and artillery shells, no matter how strong his individual combat effectiveness was, he could only do nothing.
Li Hao seized the opportunity and ordered: "First company, take over from the reconnaissance platoon and continue to deepen the individual bunkers, and then connect the individual bunkers into a trench with a depth of more than one meter!"
"The reconnaissance platoon continues to move forward and advances the trench another hundred meters!"
The first company quickly rushed to the battlefield, and in groups of two, they took over the individual soldier bunker that had been dug for more than half a meter, and continued to deepen and enlarge it.
The reconnaissance platoon with free hands seized the opportunity and continued to advance. Then they lay down on the ground and dug individual bunkers again. All the excavated soil was piled directly in front of them and compacted with shovels to block bullets for themselves.
At the Japanese and puppet army headquarters in Litian Village, the sound of gunfire was like a thunder, instantly waking up Watanabe who was already sleeping soundly.
Watanabe reacted quickly. He got up from the bed and shouted to the door: "What happened outside? What's the sound of gunfire? Could it be that the Independence Battalion wants to attack us tonight and annihilate us all under the cover of night?"
?”
"Bang..."
The locked door was immediately pushed open, and two men rushed in one after the other.
The adjutant was in front, with a solemn and worried look on his face.
The communications officer was behind, with a complex expression of fear and anxiety.
When he saw Watanabe, he hurriedly reported: "Sir, something happened!"
"We were attacked by the main force of the Independent Battalion. They dispatched nearly twenty mortars and ten heavy machine guns to attack us. The attack has already begun from the east. The firepower was so fierce that the troops on duty were so suppressed that they could not even lift their heads. Please
reinforce!"
Watanabe's frown deepened at this time, and he immediately ordered: "Adjutant, what are you doing standing still? Order the mobile troops to attack immediately and reinforce the east gate!"
"There are also artillery units, organize artillery to counterattack immediately!"
"No matter what the purpose of the independent camp is? Now that it has appeared, stay here and don't leave!"
"The guards gathered and all went to the east gate with me. Only by witnessing the entire battle with my own eyes can I make the most correct decision at the first time and then command the troops to guard the east gate."
When Watanabe hurried to the east gate, a company a few hundred meters away had begun to connect individual bunkers into trenches.
The other dozens of individual bunkers just dug by the reconnaissance platoon have been handed over to the Second Company of the Independent Battalion.
The soldiers in groups of two are the same as the first company, first deepening and enlarging the individual bunkers, and then connecting these individual bunkers into trenches.
The reconnaissance platoon was not idle either, advancing several dozen meters further under the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars.
Dozens of investigators lined up in a line, lying on the ground and digging hard into the land in front of them!
As the trenches and individual bunkers were dug deeper and deeper, the heads of the soldiers could no longer be seen above the ground.
Everyone was hiding in the trenches, swinging their shovels as hard as they could, and throwing the excavated soil out of the trenches.
"The artillery fires another five rounds of rapid fire, covering the third company and the first battalion to rush forward! With more people and strength, dig out the trenches as soon as possible!" Li Hao suddenly ordered.
"Boom boom boom..."
The moment the explosion enveloped the earthen fence again, nearly six hundred soldiers rushed out of the woods, carrying shovels and jumped into the trenches that had been formed.
With the addition of this new force, the trench excavation speed was significantly accelerated.
When the shelling stopped, no matter how much the machine guns of the Japanese and puppet troops hiding behind the fence fired, they would not be able to hurt the soldiers hiding in the trenches, and it would be impossible to block the progress of the troops digging trenches.
Major Watanabe crouched behind the fence and looked at the battlefield through the shooting hole. His face became more solemn as he looked at it.
"Baga, the independent battalion wants to use civil engineering to approach us and shorten the attack distance!"
"Order: The artillery and grenade launchers will fire immediately, aim at the trenches that are being built, and blast them for me. Kill all the Eighth Route Army troops hiding inside, force them back, and never let their treacherous plot succeed!"
"Hi!" The adjutant immediately ordered the staff around him to give the order.
Then he asked with confusion on his face: "Sir! I don't understand what the purpose of doing this is?"
"Do they want to storm into the village and annihilate us all here? But do they have so many troops? Do they have such a big appetite?"
Watanabe's already frowning frown deepened, and he shook his head and replied, "I don't know either!"
"According to our judgment, it is impossible for the independent battalion to have the strength to kill us, let alone kill us through a force attack in front of us!"
"But no matter what their ultimate goal is? We can't let them approach our station!"
"As long as they don't get close to our base, all their plots will not succeed!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The remaining mortars and grenade launchers of the Japanese and puppet troops quickly opened fire, and the shells quickly exploded around the trenches, and some exploded directly into the trenches.
The moment the flames burst into flames, several soldiers were blown out of the trenches!
The trenches where soil was constantly being thrown suddenly became quiet. All the soldiers held their heads and lay motionless in the trenches.
Li Hao had expected this scene before him, and he raised his eyebrows and started to give orders.
"Artillery, grenades, counterattack immediately, kill the Japanese artillery troops, cover the troops and continue digging trenches!"
More than forty artillery shells and grenade grenades crossed the trenches and smashed into the Japanese and puppet artillery positions.
"Shell attack, everyone, move quickly!" the Japanese mortar squadron leader shouted, with fear on his face.
As an old artilleryman, he could hear the number of artillery shells flying just by using his ears.
The number was very large, far exceeding the capacity of the position.
Just as he held his head and fell to the ground, a violent explosion rang in his ears.
The scorching hot air waves kept sweeping towards me, causing my back to be very painful.
The flying shell fragments were like a storm, constantly flying over his head. One of the fragments just pierced his thigh. The squadron leader could clearly feel that his blood was continuously gushing out through the wound.
After finally surviving the explosion, the squadron leader quickly got up from the ground, covered his wound and called the medics.
However, no matter how loud he shouted, no one came.
There were only six mortars in the position, and there were bloody corpses and seriously wounded people screaming in agony everywhere.
At a glance, there are almost no soldiers who can move freely!
The six mortars were even worse. One was directly blown into parts, two were blown to the ground, and the remaining three stood alone next to the spot with corpses and wounded lying on the ground.
"It's over!" the squadron leader shouted with despair.
As soon as he finished speaking, the second round of shells had already hit.
When the squadron leader lay on the ground again to avoid the gunfire, a shell hit him right next to his thigh.
The shell exploded, and his right leg was instantly blown into two pieces. Blood, minced meat, and pieces of blood flew around like a goddess scattering flowers.
The desperate squadron leader lost consciousness as soon as he felt the pain.
