Chapter 362: Expanding the Victory
"The receiving troops retreated immediately. Without the cover of mortars and grenade launchers, they could not rush through. There is no difference between continuing the attack and killing him!" Major Asakawa ordered with a desperate look on his face.
After pausing for two seconds, we continued to order: "We can't break through as a whole. Now we can only break through with a dispersed breakthrough. There are a few people who can run out."
"After the reception troops retreated, we began to divide the troops. The troops who escaped by chance returned to the county town directly, but we could not enter the city rashly. If Pingding City had been taken down by the National Salvation Army, all the breakout troops would move to Tangjiaao, northwest of the county town, and standby. If I had the opportunity to break out, I would go there to meet with everyone!"
When Major Asakawa began to prepare for the scattered breakthrough, the artillery, baggage and heavy machine gun troops that were divided and surrounded were suffering devastating blows.
The Japanese artillery is very powerful, but it is limited to artillery fire.
Because each gunner has to carry mortar parts weighing dozens of kilograms, in order to reduce their load and ensure the speed of the troops' marching, except for a few artillery soldiers equipped with self-defense pistols, most artillery soldiers are not equipped with defensive weapons.
The heavy machine gunners are similar. What's better is that although the baggage troops are equipped with a 38-large hood, they are the key targets of the spy company's attack.
In addition to the first row that blocked and divided their second row, the remaining light and heavy machine guns of the spy company stared at them and hugged the fire. As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, most of the baggage soldiers were killed and injured. Then the spy company rushed out of their hiding position and prepared to contact the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese heavy machine gunners were still busy setting up heavy machine guns. When the gunners were busy looking for self-defense weapons, the National Rescue Army had already rushed to their eyes...
"Kill..." Company commander Shen Liwen was the first to rush into the Japanese group with a box cannon in his hand. The box cannon in his hand kept firing. The bullets he shot seemed to have eyes, and they drilled into the Japanese chest. In the blink of an eye, no less than five Japanese died at his gun.
"KaKa..." When he was about to continue shooting, the sound of an empty gun suddenly came from the box cannon.
There were two Japanese soldiers holding rifles standing opposite. They saw that Shen Liwen was a big fish, as if they saw a pile of gold ingots, and their eyes lit up at him.
"Cover me..." Shen Liwen shouted.
The duty of the security squad of the spy company is to protect the safety of the company commander Shen Liwen, but as soon as he went to the battlefield, he ran very fast, and the security squad could only follow him closely.
Only when the company commander stopped did they have the chance to catch up. When they heard the cover order? The guard squad immediately rushed out and blocked him? Shooted at the two Japanese rushing towards him.
The spy company is a special existence in the National Salvation Army. Although it secretly obeys the command of the regiment headquarters? It is still the confidant force of the deputy regiment commander Yuan Shushan on the surface.
In order to consolidate his relationship with the spy company, Yuan Shushan took a lot of good equipment from the Third Battalion to the spy company, including five submachine guns.
Shen Liwen equipped them all with the guard squad? The soldiers who rushed to him were just equipped with two submachine guns and opened fire. The seven or eight Japanese rushing towards him were not enough to kill them? Not to mention two.
In the blink of an eye, the two Japanese were beaten into sieves. Shen Liwen also replaced the box cannon with a new magazine. With a wave of his hand, he led the guard squad to continue rushing forward...
The Japanese artillery and heavy machine gunners in the encirclement were not enough for spies to kill in a row? Chen Liwen changed into a new magazine and just fired half of the bullets. There was no living Japanese in front of him. Dozens of puppet soldiers kneeled behind him, trembling with his head, fearing that the spies would kill him as the Japanese.
"The third row stayed to clean the battlefield? The others followed me to attack the Japanese in front. Is this the fat meat that had bitten into their mouths? Don't let them escape!"
The second platoon was responsible for dividing the Japanese. When Chen Liwen led the guard squad to meet with them, the Japanese troops had already withdrawn and were about to divide the troops to break through.
Chen Liwen could see at a glance that the Japanese were going to run away? He didn't care about resting? He rushed towards them with a box cannon? He ran and shouted.
"No, the Japanese are going to divide their troops to break through. Everyone will fight with me. If you can kill one more Japanese, it's a Japanese... rush!"
Major Asakawa has arranged the troops to break through the siege: the alive team leader each led a team of imperial troops and a squad of imperial troops. As the captain of the squad, he led twenty imperial troops and a squad of imperial troops.
As soon as he was about to give a breakout order, the enemy who cut off his troops rushed over from the bend behind. The soldiers in the front were either holding submachine guns or light machine guns, shooting while rushing, looking unstoppable.
Major Asakawa's heart became colder again.
The enemy began to concentrate their forces to siege themselves, indicating that the troops blocked on the other side of the high ground were already completed.
I didn't care about my heartache and was anxious to order: "Start break through, everyone will go separately, try to get into the forest, the enemy will come to us, and if you don't leave, there will be no chance!"
On the Yangquan battlefield, Deputy Company Commander Zhang led the operation team to the target stronghold at 1:30 in the morning.
Because several grain collection teams disappeared for no reason, the investigators who went out to look for the grain collection team all went out and never came back. They were missing. No matter how stupid the Japanese defending the stronghold knew that they had an accident, they immediately ordered the stronghold to be more vigilant and no one could enter or exit.
When the operation team reached the stronghold, the roof of the artillery tower was full of Japanese and puppet troops.
The operation team alone had dozens of people who could not capture the stronghold, but Deputy Company Commander Zhang did nothing. He cut off the telephone line from the stronghold to the outside world as soon as possible, and then dig out artillery positions outside the stronghold.
The battalion commander brought an infantry cannon. If he wanted to accurately hit the target and destroy the artillery tower and the surrounding machine gun castle, he had to try his best to close the fire.
This means that artillery must fire within the range of Japanese light and heavy machine guns.
The Japanese were too accurate in shooting, so they still stood on the roof of the artillery tower and shot from a high place. If there was no sufficiently safe artillery position, the artillery would be exposed to the Japanese guns and fired, which was very expensive.
Moreover, if you build the artillery position in advance, there will be no problems. Moreover, after building the artillery in advance, you can fire the artillery, which will definitely save time.
As soon as the two artillery positions were repaired, the battalion commander arrived.
The lieutenant guarding the artillery tower was already in a hurry. When the operation team first appeared, he thought the other party was just an ordinary guerrilla team and was not too nervous.
He panicked as soon as the infantry cannon brought by Dong Fei appeared.
The artillery tower can block light and heavy machine gun bullets, resist mortar shells falling from the sky, and cannot block infantry artillery shells.
As long as three or four shells hit the outer wall, the artillery tower will be blown into a pile of ruins.
There were less than thirty subordinates and a platoon of the Imperial Army left in the entire stronghold, equipped with three light machine guns and two grenade launchers, and there were not even heavy machine guns and mortars. It was definitely impossible to destroy the mountain cannons brought by the other party.
His own people are unreliable, so the lieutenant can only place his hope on foreign players.
It was raining all night, and the phone number to the county town had a problem at this time.
Although I knew in my heart that the telephone line was cut off by the troops outside the stronghold, the lieutenant still held a glimmer of hope that his subordinates could get through the county town's phone number and asked the county town to send troops to reinforce him.
It is less than ten kilometers away from the county town, and it will take 20 minutes to transport troops.
Even if the enemy attacking the stronghold was equipped with infantry artillery, the lieutenant was confident that he would guard for twenty minutes.
He didn't want to die yet, so he kept staring at the phone soldier, hoping to see some turning point.
But after waiting for four or five minutes, the telephone soldier did not respond at all. The lieutenant was even more panicked than before and asked in despair!
"Bageya Road, haven't you contacted the county town yet?"
The telephone soldier answered very confidently: "Sir, the telephone line in the county indirectly located in the stronghold must have been cut off!"
"What should I do?" the lieutenant asked back to himself.
"Boom..." The infantry cannons outside the stronghold fired, and the range of less than 200 meters made the gunners look like gods, and the first shot hit the target.
During the violent explosion, the artillery tower was shaken twice. First, a strong and choking smoke surged into the third floor from the entrance of the stairs, and then a scream sounded downstairs.
"Sir... A big hole was blown up on the second floor... The artillery tower will collapse at any time. We must evacuate the artillery tower immediately..." A soldier covered in blood climbed up from the entrance of the stairs, reporting his face full of pain.
"Sir, retreat!" The soldiers next to him began to panic when they heard this and shouted quickly.
The lieutenant had completely stopped living, waved his hand and answered with a desperate look on his face.
"The enemy has infantry artillery, and the artillery tower cannot hold on. Where can we retreat..."
"boom……"
The second shell exploded, and this time the shell hit the exterior wall of the third floor.
As soon as the lieutenant's ear sounded, his whole person was pushed to the ground by a huge force. After the severe pain, he lost consciousness.
Ten minutes later, the gunfire in the stronghold stopped completely. Dong Fei and the guards were the first to rush into the warehouse behind the stronghold. When they opened the door, they saw mountains of food piled up inside.
"Battery Commander, the next few barracks were filled with grain, all of which were fresh grain just collected by the Japanese. Each barracks had at least 50,000 kilograms of grain!" Deputy Company Commander Zhang ran out of a barracks to report.
Dong Fei immediately asked: "How many barracks are there in total that contain food!"
"The five rooms are all next to the warehouse!" Deputy Company Commander Zhang replied.
Dong Fei smiled happily: "We didn't lose this battle..."
"The five barracks, each barracks have at least 50,000 kilograms of grain, which is a total of 250,000 kilograms. With the two warehouses, even if there is not 500,000 kilograms, it is not much."
"The Japanese are so cruel. A stronghold asked the people that they had collected 500,000 kilograms of grain. If it weren't for the limited time, I really wanted to give 300,000 kilograms of grain to everyone!"
"Immediately notify the recruits and militias behind us to enter the stronghold to transport food. If there is not enough trucks, go to the town to find them and exchange them for the ocean and grain. You must emptie the stronghold before dawn!"
