Three mortar shells suddenly exploded at the Dongliang stronghold!
The rising fire instantly illuminated the stronghold, and several Japanese and puppet soldiers fell down and turned into corpses!
"The enemy is attacking. Someone is attacking the stronghold. They are attacking from behind the stronghold!" the Japanese second lieutenant on duty shouted with fear on his face!
Sasaki was also alarmed. He stood up from his seat and shouted at the door: "Go and check immediately, which direction the shells came from! Wherever the shells came from, the attack must be in that direction!"
"Hi!"
The adjutant just rushed to the door without even entering the room. When he heard the order, he turned around and ran out!
In less than half a minute, the adjutant's footsteps sounded at the door, and the sound of machine gun fire also came in!
"Sir, the artillery shells came from the garrison according to the direction of the place!"
"It must be the response force dispatched by the remaining troops of the garrison. They want to break through the Dongliang stronghold and respond to the Eighth Route Army that is being besieged by us!"
"Sir, you are so powerful. If you hadn't been prepared in advance and left an infantry squadron and all the puppet troops to defend the stronghold, otherwise the stronghold would definitely not be able to be defended!"
Sasaki was obviously relieved!
His eyes flashed and he ordered: "Tell the remaining troops at the stronghold to resolutely repel the Eighth Route Army's attack and hold this place!"
"I have now confirmed that the Eighth Route Army that the troops are besieging is the breakout force of the garrison that we have been searching for for a long time!"
"As long as we hold the stronghold and prevent the two Eighth Route armies from converging! We can kill the breakout troops of the garrison!"
"Then we will all become heroes of the Empire!"
Under the cover of night, more than a hundred Eighth Route Army troops quickly rushed out of their positions and rushed towards the stronghold in a skirmish line!
The enemy's firepower was so fierce that bullets flew out of the stronghold, and soldiers were constantly being killed!
"Boom boom boom..."
Three artillery shells suddenly hit the middle of the Japanese attacking troops. The moment three fireballs rose up, seven or eight soldiers were blown over and fell to the ground!
"retreat……"
The company commander leading the team ordered with a heartbroken look on his face!
His subordinates are basically all guerrillas who have just been replenished for less than a month, and they have been in the middle of fighting since they were replenished, so they have no time to train!
It was obvious during the attack that they were not well trained!
All I know is to give the order, hold the rifle and rush forward!
Faced with the bullets fired by the Japanese, he didn't even take the minimum evasive action!
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the entire army suffered casualties!
There were more than 100 people during the attack, but only 60 people left the battlefield unharmed. There were still a dozen wounded who were not brought back from the battlefield and were lying on the ground screaming in pain!
Zhao Wen squatted in the offensive position, clenching his fists and exposing his veins!
A pair of eyes turned red from anger!
This is the second attack launched by the Independence Battalion!
The enemy's counterattack firepower is too strong, and they also have marksmanship and artillery fire that the independent battalion does not have!
On the other hand, the Independent Battalion has too many new recruits!
Two consecutive attacks failed in vain, and they also lost troops and generals. More than a hundred soldiers were sacrificed alone!
Zhao Wen really wanted to order the troops to stop the attack directly!
According to this style of play, if there are three more attacks, the independent battalion will be crippled and completely lose its combat effectiveness!
But his reason allowed him to reject his inner impulse!
The regiment commander's orders must be carried out unconditionally. When the garrison regiment was still an independent regiment, this was a dead order for the troops!
So even if all the independent battalions are wiped out, the attack cannot stop!
He hit the sandbag with his clenched fist, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Three consecutive attacks, continue the attack!"
"Order the troops to take out all the machine guns and bullets we brought, and use the strongest firepower to cover the attacking troops!"
"Don't be afraid of the machine gun being blown up. As long as the regiment leader can come back safely, he will definitely lead us to get more and better machine guns back from the Japanese!"
"There is also an artillery platoon, fire with all your strength, and shoot down all the artillery shells we brought!"
"If the mortar is blown up, it will blow up. Just keep the gunner!"
"You bastard little devil, if I die, even if I wipe out all the independent battalions, I will still knock out a few of their teeth!"
Behind the bushes one kilometer northwest of the Dongliang stronghold, the reconnaissance company is modifying a car!
One bed after another of wet quilts was covered on the cab, layered on top of each other, and then fixed with ropes around and around!
Inside the carriage, twenty kilograms of explosive bags were stacked one after another!
After all fifty explosive bags were placed, they were first covered with two dry quilts, then covered with a layer of sandbags, and finally several layers of quilts were laid on them, and finally fixed with ropes!
After a lot of work, from the outside, except for a very small part of the wheels, the rest of the car was wrapped in wet quilts!
From a distance, the entire car looks like a mobile fortress!
"Report to the leader, the car has been modified according to your requirements, and the steering wheel and accelerator have been fixed!" Chen Wei, the commander of the investigation company, reported with expectation!
Li Hao has already told him the purpose of this car!
If it can really break through the enemy's fire interception and rush all the way into the enemy's position, the enemy in the stronghold will definitely be finished!
One thousand kilograms of explosives, the amount of gunpowder is several times more than the aerial bombs dropped by the Japanese, and the power will definitely be several times greater!
If it were detonated at a stronghold, Chen Wei could imagine that even if the Japanese and puppet troops within fifty meters of the explosion point were not directly killed, they would be directly stunned by the powerful shock wave and lose their combat effectiveness!
When the troops follow closely and rush into the stronghold, they will definitely be able to easily kill the Japanese and puppet troops inside!
Li Hao didn't speak, he held the binoculars and stared at the stronghold motionlessly!
After two minutes, he said: "It's almost done!"
"Judging from the sound of gunfire, the Independent Battalion has launched three attacks!"
"The Japanese also dispatched at least two squads to stop them, and almost all heavy weapons were dispatched!"
"We first get close to the stronghold, get as close as possible to the stronghold, and then launch a sudden attack!"
"At the speed of a car, if the attack distance is three hundred meters, it will take about half a minute to rush over!"
"This little time is not enough for the Japanese and puppet troops to mobilize their heavy weapons!"
"Without heavy weapons for interception, light and heavy machine guns and grenades will certainly not threaten our modified cars!"
"Order the troops and start taking action as ordered!"
"Send the kid a big surprise with a car bomb!"
Dozens of soldiers pushed the car forward step by step. After the fourth attack of the independent battalion, they finally reached the offensive position 300 meters outside the stronghold!
After adjusting the direction, Chen Wei, commander of the reconnaissance company, climbed into the cab himself!
"Start!" Li Hao ordered decisively!
"Da da da……"
The reconnaissance company and the fourth company opened fire quickly, and Chen Wei also started the car under the cover of gunfire!
Put the gas pedal in gear!
Amidst the dull roar, the car became faster and faster, rushing towards the gate of the stronghold under the cover of night!
