Chapter 717
Under Huang Hu's nervous and anxious waiting, the attacking troops finally approached within fifty meters of the outer defense line of the stronghold.
This is a very critical position. After the attacking troops crossed this distance, they used their fastest speed to attack forward and could enter the stronghold in less than twenty seconds.
This time was not enough for the Japanese and puppet troops, whose strongholds were sleeping, rushed into the position to join the battle.
As long as the offensive troops take the opportunity to enter the stronghold and give the subsequent offensive troops a breakthrough, they will have more than 50% chance of winning in this battle.
If the troops can get closer to the stronghold, the troops will have a greater chance of winning tonight.
As for the remaining chances of winning, it depends on whether the assault troops can defend the breakthrough and whether the subsequent troops can rush into the stronghold in time...
"Baoba..." After the commando approached ten meters again, the gunshot that Huang Hu didn't want to hear finally rang out at the stronghold, and then he saw the puppet army on duty on the roof of the artillery tower in chaos...
Huang Hu didn't say a word of nonsense, put down his telescope, pulled out the box cannon, and waved his order forward: "The artillery fires, the trumpet officers blow the charge, and the entire army attacks..."
"Boom..." The two infantry cannons roared at the same time. In the blink of an eye, two balls of fire rose into the outer wall of the artillery tower, and then a violent explosion occurred.
The sound of cannons was an order. More than 100 people in the commando quickly tore off their disguises. They rushed towards the stronghold like screaming tigers, holding their guns, and rushing towards the stronghold at a very fast speed...
The follow-up troops also rushed out of the hiding point at the same moment, with three or four hundred people rushing towards the stronghold in a company, for fear that they would run too slowly and be rushed to the front by others...
In the stronghold, the Japanese and puppet troops were already in chaos.
After the warning gunshots sounded, dozens of puppet troops on duty reacted first. Seeing more than a hundred figures suddenly appearing outside the stronghold, they all rushed towards their combat positions in panic.
Perhaps to give myself courage, some puppet troops were even more exaggerated and raised their guns and shot outside the stronghold.!
Their combat effectiveness was already very poor, but now they were killed by the National Saving Army and they suddenly became panicked, causing their combat effectiveness to be further weakened.
The gunshots in the stronghold kept ringing, and the puppet troops fought very hard, but their shooting accuracy was very poor. It would be a blessing in disgrace to have one of the ten bullets hit the target.
This counterattack will not have any other effect except causing some sporadic casualties to the commando.
When the battle comes at this time, the Japanese need to come and take charge.
Block the first round of attacks of the National Salvation Army and take the opportunity to stabilize the increasingly chaotic morale of the puppet army.
But the Japanese army's performance was even worse at this moment.
Because I never thought that the National Salvation Army would come to attack it at this time, many Japanese even regarded the National Salvation Army as their own people. When I went to bed at night, the Japanese troops who were staying at the stronghold were not vigilant.
Not only did he take off all his legs while sleeping, he also placed his weapons together.
After the warning gunfire reached their ears, although most of the Japanese soldiers were awakened at the first time, they did not get up immediately. They thought that the two gunshots just now were caused by the fire of the puppet army.
It was not until the gunshot suddenly became dense that they realized the danger, and quickly got up amid the chief's yelling and scolding, put on military uniforms, took weapons and ammunition, and then began to rush outside the barracks.
In a flash, more than ten seconds passed, and the two infantry artillery equipped by the garrison brigade happened to shoot the second round of shells towards the artillery tower.
In the violent explosion, the artillery tower made of bricks and stones collapsed into a pile of ruins under their noses. Many Japanese were stunned. Some Japanese were secretly grateful in their hearts that they were fortunate that they did not sleep in the artillery tower last night, otherwise they would not even have a chance to escape at this moment and were buried directly in the ruins.
"Bageyalu, why are you still doing here? Enter the position immediately, and the enemy is about to rush into the stronghold!" A lieutenant cursed at his subordinate Li who was still dazed in front of him.
"Enter the position immediately, reinforce the Imperial Army, and block the enemy's attack!" Chief Cao and Lieutenant scattered in the middle of the team shouted.
It was not until this time that seventy or eighty disheveled Japanese soldiers rushed out of the barracks and rushed towards the position in a hurry.
"Boom boom boom..."
A string of particularly dense explosions also reached the Japanese ears at this moment. When they looked up, they saw a large number of fireballs and black smoke rising from the outer positions of the stronghold.
"No, the enemy has reached the outer position of the stronghold!" An Japanese lieutenant exclaimed.
Before the remaining Japanese could react from their shock, the figure of the National Rescue Army had already appeared in front of them.
They held their weapons and crossed the smoke-filled outer positions. At the beginning, there were only a dozen people, but in the blink of an eye they turned into more than one hundred people, rushing towards them with a scream.
"Bageya Road, the enemy's attack speed is too fast. Everyone uses bayonets and drive the enemy who rushed into the stronghold out! Kill and give it to..." The lieutenant with the highest rank in the team shouted anxiously.
He pulled out his command knife and rushed towards the national rescue army that was rushing closer and closer to the front...
The base area of the only regiment was very close to Jingxing Coal Mine. After the troops were divided, Zhou Zhike ordered the troops to break into pieces, avoid Japanese planes, and marched quickly to Jingxing Coal Mine.
At 10 o'clock that night, more than a thousand troops had arrived at the assembly site agreed upon by Zhou Cheng to report, and the artillery battalion reached one-third.
There are still a large number of troops rushing on the road at this moment, but Zhou Cheng decided not to wait.
Although Major Panasonic was dead, the warning telegram to Taiyuan was not sent out. However, the Japanese army in Taiyuan had become alert to the National Salvation Army. They would definitely soon notice the abnormality of the National Salvation Army and then send planes to monitor the National Salvation Army every move.
When they find that the National Salvation Army is no longer in the only base, they will definitely send people to search for traces of the troops.
Although the troops following him attacked Jingxing Coal Mine have been broken into pieces, the total force has exceeded 2,000 people, and they are still marching during the day and carrying a lot of heavy weapons, so they will definitely not be able to do it quietly.
After a long time, the Japanese army will definitely find out that its target was Jingxing Coal Mine, and then ordered Jingxing Coal Mine to strengthen its vigilance and send troops to reinforce Jingxing Coal Mine. Then the fighter planes that raided the coal mine would be gone.
Now the Japanese do not know that their target is Jingxing Coal Mine. In addition, the large-scale attack war launched by the Eighth Route Army is getting more and more fierce, and the Japanese are focusing on railway lines and major transportation routes.
The Japanese army protecting Jingxing coal mines is definitely no exception. There are even many troops ordered to reinforce the railway line. The National Salvation Army will kill them when they are not at the coal mine. They can definitely catch them off guard and conquer Jingxing coal mines with the minimum cost!
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Zhou Chengru led his troops to the vicinity of the mining area.
