Chapter 69: Attack the stronghold
The puppet army's combat literacy was too low. Although they all endured their sleepiness and took the alarm on duty, there were still no soldiers who were getting closer.
"Bang..." A harsh gunshot suddenly broke the tranquility of Wu Zhen.
At this moment, the Wuzhen stronghold became lively.
The puppet army sentry responsible for the alert around the stronghold became awake instantly, then held a rifle and stared at the surroundings.
"Dadada..." The two companies and the guard platoon equipment were equipped with nine crooked handles, one was thrust and one was 92, and shot at the same time.
Several puppet soldiers who were looking out with their heads were beaten into hornets' nests before they could react.
The remaining puppet troops who were still alive were directly frightened and hid behind the positions. Listening to the whizzing sound of bullets flying overhead, their hands holding the rifle couldn't help but start trembling, let alone counterattacking!
But the Japanese soldiers in the stronghold were not afraid. When they heard such dense gunfire, they subconsciously thought of the enemy's attack. Then they rushed out of the barracks with rifles and were dressed in dishevels. They shouted while rushing, calling on the puppet troops who had already begun to defend together.
"Bageya Road, there are enemies outside attacking us. Enter the position quickly and prepare for defense!"
But at this moment, the mortar shells of the Three One Group and the grenades of the Six One Group were like death talismans, smashing towards their strongholds with a scream.
Amid the violent explosion, many Japanese and puppet troops were directly blown to the ground. The luck was a little bad, and they were torn into parts by shells, and even a complete body could not be left behind.
Under the cover of mortars and grenade launchers, more than 80 Japanese devils, and in the end, only more than 40 people rushed to the position, then flew the crane guns, crooked handles, and even shot out the 38th hood.
As for the remaining Japanese, they either fell into corpses in the yard of the stronghold, or were blown into seriously injured people, and they kept screaming in the yard.
As for the puppet army, under the fierce artillery fire, they all retracted back to the barracks after losing more than a dozen people. No matter how the Japanese army issued an order, they just couldn't come out.
Especially the puppet army officers, one of the big reasons why the Japanese sold their lives was that they were afraid of death and then surrendered to the Japanese army and worked their lives for the Japanese army.
The artillery fire outside is so fierce now that it is very likely that a shell will come over and kill itself if it comes. In this case, even if they are loyal to the Japanese, they dare not take their lives to take risks.
After more than forty Japanese stormed into the position and started counterattacking, the sudden dense firepower caused considerable casualties to the independent camp. However, they only had three crooked hands and one heavy machine gun. Even this automatic firepower and a crooked hands fell into the yard behind them in the shelling.
The independent battalion that attacked them from the front and back had a heavy machine gun and nine crooked hands. On average, three machine guns were more than one machine gun to stare at the Japanese and one machine gun.
The three Japanese machine gun firepower points in the stronghold were in silence in less than five seconds.
After being stared at by so many machine guns at one time, the Japanese machine gunners have a lot of combat experience. If they dodge the offensive firepower in the east, they cannot dodge the front, or even the offensive firepower in the west.
Although the Japanese army quickly replaced a new machine gunner, the dull machine gun started to scream again.
However, the machine gunner was beaten into a hornet's nest again after only five seconds of survival.
When the machine gun firepower completely suppressed the Japanese light and heavy machine guns, Wang Ping decisively divided a few crooked handles and suppressed and fired at the Japanese riflemen.
At the same time, the six grenade launchers of two grenade launchers were ordered to stare at the Japanese positions and shoot grenades.
As for the mortar, I stared at the grenade launcher that might have emerged from the Japanese.
Under the attack of absolute offensive firepower of the Independent Battalion, the Japanese army continued to reduce personnel, especially the machine gun positions that were under special care. Four or five Japanese corpses were poured down next to each machine gun. In addition, Japanese rushing over to the army. As soon as they touched the machine gun and fired for a few seconds, they were killed immediately.
After nearly a minute of shooting between the two sides, more than 40 Japanese devils had lost most of them.
Under the command of the team leader, all the remaining ten Japanese soldiers returned to the barracks and prepared to use the barracks to make their final persistence.
Of course, the team leader had thought about asking for help from the county town, but together with the only phone in the county town, no matter how he dialed, it could not be connected.
The team leader was not a rookie on the battlefield, and immediately understood that the telephone line was cut off by the Eighth Route Army outside. Of course, this also means that the Eighth Route Army must have decided to capture its stronghold and wipe out its own strength.
When there were no reinforcements outside and he suffered heavy losses, the team leader knew very well that even if he had the ability, he would not be able to make up for the situation.
Although some subordinates proposed to organize the puppet army next to them to cooperate in combat, after thinking about the puppet army's performance just now, the team leader decisively rejected the proposal.
When the puppet army, who was greedy for life and fear of death, came here and faced the attack of the Eighth Route Army, it not only could not help itself, but it would also affect the morale of the army and disrupt the war of the remaining warriors.
What's more, after knowing that the Imperial Army could not stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army, it was possible to stab yourself in the back.
In order to use the remaining troops on hand to maximize the damage to the Eighth Route Army, the captain finally decided to defend the barracks where everyone is hiding.
As soon as the Japanese retreated, the independent battalion pressed up and then rushed into the military camp!
"Dadada!" The only Japanese army's crooked twitch in their hands decisively opened its guns. The three or four soldiers who had just rushed into the stronghold were caught off guard and were directly beaten into a hornet's nest and fell at the door of the stronghold!
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese are hiding in the barracks. It seems that they are ready to defend the enemy!" Zhang Yunshan, the second company commander, reported when he saw Wang Ping rushing over.
"The yard of the stronghold is in space, and the casualties must be huge. Transfer the artillery platoons and bombard them with cannons, and bury them all in the barracks!" Wang Ping frowned and ordered decisively.
Soon, the scream of shells passing through the sky reached the ears of the Japanese squad leader.
The captain's face turned pale in an instant, and then shouted loudly: "Baga, it's a mortar. I forgot that the Eighth Route Army still has artillery, and the barracks could not withstand the mortar artillery bombardment at all!"
Then he pulled out his command knife and shouted at the remaining subordinates around him: "The time has come for the warriors to sacrifice their lives for the empire. Blast out and fight against the Eighth Route Army. Kill one by one, kill the other!"
