Chapter 920: The Defense of the Pharmaceutical Factory (Part 2)
The defense of pharmaceutical factories is far from being as simple as the Japanese think.
The guard booths and patrols are all visible to the Japanese.
What cannot be seen on the surface is the real defense system of the pharmaceutical factory, and it is also the reason why Xiao Yuan has the confidence to defend the pharmaceutical factory.
After working with Li Hao for such a long time, the most powerful thing Xiao Yuan learned is that no matter what he does, he cannot reveal all his trump cards and must hide something.
When the pharmaceutical factory was first built, all the posts on the surface were built by the workers who built the pharmaceutical factory.
On both sides of the guard box, Xiao Yuan also asked the factory protection team to secretly build many bunkers and trenches.
Normally, these trenches and bunkers are well covered, and you may not be able to spot them even if you walk to the side.
After the Japanese began to attack, several squadron leaders of the factory protection team decisively decided to use these hidden fortifications.
As more and more troops from the factory protection team arrived on the battlefield, hidden trenches continued to appear and firepower points were exposed.
The dangerous situation on the blockade is slowly coming under control.
"Sir, there are many trenches and firepower points hidden along the blockade of the pharmaceutical factory. The factory protection team is well-equipped. With our existing firepower alone, we will definitely not be able to break through in a short time."
The squadron leader of the action team is now riding a tiger with difficulty.
The defense of the pharmaceutical factory is stronger than I thought. To be cautious, retreating now is the best choice.
But the entire operation was planned and directed by himself, and if he returns without success, he will definitely be ridiculed by his colleagues, and he might not even be able to keep his position as squadron leader.
So retreat is absolutely impossible.
Now I am like a sharp arrow with no other choice but to shoot.
He forced himself to calm down and replied with a serious face: "No need to worry, we still have heavy machine guns and mortars that are of no use."
"There are only a few people in the factory protection team, and there are four troops divided into four groups to block our four groups of attacking troops. There are only a hundred people standing in front of us at most."
"We just killed some people, and after a while we use mortars and heavy machine guns to kill some more, and they will be gone. By then we will definitely be able to easily break through their blockade and enter the pharmaceutical factory."
"As long as we attack the troops all the way into the pharmaceutical factory, we will win this battle."
"Order, the heavy machine gun unit and mortar unit join the battle immediately."
"The mortar squadron will use up all the artillery shells brought over. I will blow up the blocking position in front into rubble and blow up all the enemies inside."
"The heavy machine gun unit provides fire cover, and as soon as the shelling stops, we will cover us to fight through, break through the blockade, and enter the pharmaceutical factory!"
Li Hao is very confident in the pharmaceutical factory's ability to protect itself.
The factory protection team composed entirely of veterans, sophisticated equipment, trenches and bunkers hidden under the grass, and commandos that have already begun operations... are all Li Hao's confidence!
"Boom boom..."
Two explosions suddenly came into the office, startling Li Hao.
He stood up from his seat and shouted with surprise.
"It's a mortar. I didn't expect the kid to even get a mortar. This is Chongqing. What do the local garrison do?"
The captain of the fourth squadron of the factory protection team rushed in in a hurry.
"Commander, this is the defense area of the first squadron. The enemy has even used mortars. That must be the enemy's key attack direction."
"I'm worried they won't be able to defend themselves under artillery fire!"
"I definitely can't keep it!" Li Hao did not deny this.
"Although the factory protection team is well-equipped, they only have light weapons, and the positions and bunkers they defend are ordinary fortifications that have not been strengthened and cannot withstand artillery bombardment."
"As long as the enemy has enough artillery shells, a squadron will definitely suffer heavy casualties in the shelling and the position will be razed to the ground."
The captain of the 4th Squadron became anxious and immediately said: "We must not allow the enemy to break through the 1st Squadron blockade."
"Except for the Fourth Squadron, everyone else in the factory protection team is fighting."
"If the blockade is breached by the little devils, they will definitely attack the pharmaceutical factory directly."
"Captain, let our fourth squadron go up to reinforce the first squadron and keep the enemy out of the blockade."
Li Hao shook his head and said in denial: "No, we can't directly provide reinforcements."
"The Japanese have mortars and maybe heavy machine guns. If you go over with reinforcements and hold on to your position now, it's the same as committing suicide. We can't do such stupid things."
"Take your men and set off immediately. Set up a pocket formation behind the first squadron's defense line. I will ambush the Japanese there, kill all their troops who rush into the blockade, and render the mortars they are equipped with useless."
"After the pocket array is deployed, immediately notify the first squadron on the blockade to retreat."
"Boom boom..."
Mortar shells in groups of two continued to hit the blockade.
The moment flames and black smoke rose into the sky, the soil, bricks and stones used for building fortifications, and the remains of the soldiers who protected the factory were blown away together, and then scattered around like goddesses scattering flowers.
The worries in the Japanese squadron leader's heart disappeared, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
He was born in the army and had been on the battlefield.
On the frontal battlefield, every time this kind of scene appears in the Chinese army's position, it means that they are not far from collapse.
As long as the infantry is dispatched in time and delivers the most lethal punch, the Chinese army will definitely collapse.
The only thing standing in front of us is a factory protection team.
Although the performance just now was very good, even a little beyond my expectations, it was definitely not as good as the real army.
This is the squadron leader's own judgment.
In this case, once the heavy machine gun unit opens fire, it will definitely give the factory protection team a fatal attack, crush their last nerve, and completely defeat them.
"Sir, the shells are finished!"
The report from his subordinates brought the squadron leader back to reality.
The squadron leader reacted quickly. He directly ordered with murderous intent: "Then why are you still standing there?"
"The heavy machine gun unit fired, covering fire, and infantry assaulted, broke through the factory protection team's blockade, and entered the pharmaceutical factory."
"Whoever is the first to break into the pharmaceutical factory, regardless of his or her status, will be directly promoted to the next level."
"Whoever finds the information we want first will be promoted by two ranks."
"Da da da……"
The distinctive sound of heavy machine gun fire soon filled the battlefield.
The three thick tongues of flames were particularly dazzling under the cover of night. The thick bullets, wrapped in flames, flew towards the factory defense team's position as if they cost nothing.
"Start the assault!" the squadron leader ordered decisively.
More than eighty special agents, armed with rifles and light machine guns, rushed forward like chicken blood.
This is all the troops the squadron leader can use.
On the other hand, looking at the position of the first squadron of the factory protection team, there were very few people left who could move.
All three machine guns misfired, and there were less than thirty rifles left to fight back.
The gunshots fired were sparse and could not stop the offensive of his action team.
