It turned out that this stronghold was attacked by scattered soldiers of the Jinsui Army at the beginning of its establishment.

Although the stronghold was not captured in the end, Tanaka, the highest commander of the Japanese army in the stronghold, was still shocked.

So the next day, he captured more than a hundred young and strong people in the surrounding villages, and under the command of the puppet army, he built the three-story running building in front of him.

After running away, although the stronghold was attacked by two more scattered soldiers of the Jinsui Army, Lieutenant Nakata, who was condescending to the command, easily defeated the attackers with machine guns, and killed and injured more than 100 Jinsui Army.

With this military merit, Nakata's military rank was directly transformed from a lieutenant to a captain and was promoted to a squadron leader.

Because the supplementary troops of the wing expansion brigade had not arrived yet, the wing headquarters only added a heavy machine gun squad and a mortar squad for him. Once the supplementary troops arrived, the Japanese army at the Guanliang stronghold would be directly expanded into a squadron.

The promotion of military rank, the expansion of the troops, and the headquarters even strengthened the promotion of the 92 style and a mortar as a reward. These all made Captain Nakata full of confidence in his future.

In addition to being happy, the puppet army specially asked the puppet army to find two beautiful wives from the villages around the stronghold to come back, so that they could be more casual and celebrate.

The Japanese army was full of confidence, but Wang Ping frowned.

Mortars are very powerful, but that is for soldiers exposed to artillery fire. They have little destructive power to fortifications and the masonry muzzles in front of them.

The three mortars equipped by the artillery platoon will blow up a little skin on the artillery tower unless the shells are directly shot into the running building.

However, after finally rushing here, Wang Ping was unwilling to accept it if he didn't fight.

After some hesitation, Wang Ping finally decided to attack. Maybe he was lucky and could show the Japanese flaws in the next battle, so as to capture the Guanliang stronghold in one fell swoop.

As a stronghold equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, Wang Ping must have had a lot of equipment and supplies stored in the stronghold. In addition, the expansion of the independent battalion, whether it is equipment or other supplies, or even the military uniforms of the Japanese for winter, are urgently needed by Wang Ping. If he had the opportunity to take the stronghold, Wang Ping would definitely not let it go.

"It's still the same rule. The second company attacks from the front, and the third company attacks from the back. The Japanese have a running building. Don't save me bullets when attacking. Two machine guns stare at one shooting hole to ensure that the Japanese in the artillery tower are suppressed!" Wang Ping had a calm face and started giving orders directly!

"The artillery platoon, stare at the Japanese running to the building and bombard me, and try to bombard me the artillery. Also, the Japanese also equipped mortars and put them on the roof of the artillery if nothing unexpected happens. Therefore, after the attack begins, it must be knocked out in the shortest time to prevent it from firing!"

"You three sharpshooters are looking for fighter planes to hunt down the Japanese and puppet army officers. As for ordinary puppet army soldiers, if you can, don't kill them. Maybe in a few days, they will become our comrades!"

"Everything... Wooah..." As soon as three dull sounds of cannonballs came out of the air, the screams of shells passing through the sky rang over the battlefield.

In less than three seconds, an orange-red fireball exploded from the top of the Japanese running building, which was particularly dazzling. Then there was a fireball exploded in front and right of the artillery tower. Finally, three violent explosions spread to the ears of the soldiers of the Independent Battalion.

Because the distance is too far, Wang Ping can't see clearly what was born on the roof of the artillery tower.

But the two lights arranged by the Japanese on the roof of the artillery tower were instantly turned off, which made Wang Ping very sure that the artillery bombardment just now was effective.

The gunner next to the three mortars fine-tuned the firing angle and was about to stuff the second shell into the barrel, and the six grenade launchers equipped by the two companies also fired.

Because their strong artillery tower could not cause damage, the six grenade launchers wisely chose to attack the Japanese and puppet troops around the stronghold.

The violent sound of cannons broke the silence of the battlefield and woke up all the Japanese and puppet troops in their sleep, including the squadron leader Captain Nakata.

"Where did the enemy from Baga come from? They are even equipped with mortars!" Nakata, who was sleeping on the second floor of the artillery tower, was awakened when he heard a violent explosion above his head, and then he asked loudly at his slightly panicked subordinates around him.

"I don't know who it is, but the enemy is equipped with at least three mortars and five grenade launchers, and is carrying out artillery fire strikes on us!" A second lieutenant hurried over and reported.

Nakata was furious and shocked and scolded loudly: "Bageyalu, why are you panic? We also have mortars and grenade launchers. Order artillery and grenade launchers to counterattack immediately. The others are ready for battle. As soon as the enemy appears, we will destroy them with machine guns. We are running in the building, and the enemies outside can't do anything to us!"

"In addition, order the troops and puppet troops outside the stronghold to remain unmoved. As long as we repel the enemy's attack, we will immediately counterattack and eliminate the enemy who dares to attack us!"

After the order was given, the chaos in the artillery tower was obviously much better.

Three crooked handles and one heavy machine gun are respectively placed in four directions of the second floor of the artillery tower, ready to shoot at any time. As for other positions, there are two to three rifles next to each shooting hole, holding a rifle, and looking like shooting out at any time.

Nakata nodded with satisfaction, then calmly put on his military uniform and prepared to command the defensive battle himself.

At this time, the second lieutenant who had just left rushed over and reported with a worried look on his face, "Captain, our mortars and grenade launchers on the roof of the artillery tower were blown up and we could not fight back!"

Nakata was stunned at first, but soon reacted and scolded loudly: "What a panic? Without the mortar, we still have light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades, and we can still defend the stronghold!"

"Our artillery tower is very strong, and the mortar will definitely not be destroyed. As long as the artillery tower is not destroyed, we can defend the stronghold with the artillery tower and defeat the enemies who want to attack us!"

Under the violent shelling, the Japanese and puppet army strongholds were not in chaos. Faced with this situation, Wang Ping frowned even deeper and realized that he had encountered a tough problem.

"Try attacking first!" Wang Ping, who had no other way, ordered decisively.

Zhang Yunshan next to him nodded and ordered: "All light and heavy machine guns are fired, others are covering them, and one squad is on the bottom of the artillery tower and throw the grenade into the shooting hole to kill the Japanese!"

"Dadadada...bangbang..." At the shooting hole, rifle, crooked handle, heavy machine gun that had been prepared, fired together, and the dense bullets instantly caused sparks to splash the Japanese artillery tower.

The shooting hole is too small, far and high, and most of the bullets are shot on the outer wall of the artillery tower. Few bullets fly into the shooting holes, causing damage to the Japanese.

But such a dense offensive firepower can be used to suppress the Japanese, and they may attract the Japanese counterattack firepower.

As soon as the Second Company fired, a dozen riflemen rushed out.

He bent over, held a rifle, trotted on the S route, and rushed towards the Japanese artillery tower.

Wang Ping stared at the Japanese artillery tower and about ten subordinates.

Captain Nakata, the Japanese devils, was a data eggplant. Perhaps because he had the experience of defeating the scattered soldiers of the Jinsui Army in the first two times, Nakata was particularly confident in the battle in front of him.

As soon as a group of about ten people entered his sight, Nakata excitedly ordered: "Counterattack, shoot immediately, and eliminate the enemy who attacked us!"

Dozens of Japanese hiding in the artillery tower, regardless of the offensive firepower of the Independent Battalion a hundred meters away, shot at a squad against the bullets that might have shot into the shooting hole.

A heavy machine gun, a crooked handle, and six or seven 38 large covers, seven or eight people fell down in the blink of an eye, killing them.

There were three or four people left to react quickly, and quickly lay on the ground, suppressed by the bullets fired from the Japanese artillery tower, and could not move.
