Soon after, the battle began again.

This time, the officers and soldiers of the New Regiment no longer launched attacks from the direction of the suspension bridge, but instead focused their forces at both ends of the two artillery towers.

Looking from one side, the two artillery towers were in a straight line, blocking each other's sight and shooting boundaries, which effectively prevented the formation of cross-fire by the Japanese and puppet troops.

The officers and soldiers of the New First Regiment were crowded with power. They gathered the ammunition in their hands. Seven or eight soldiers with good shooting skills were formed in a group, blocking a gun hole on the bunker, and blocking the top of the artillery tower with machine guns and rifles, basically suppressing the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops.

This approach is the first half of Xu Dalong's plan. This tactic is indeed effective and effectively suppressed the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Next, the officers and soldiers of the New First Regiment did not launch an attack, but carried the mortar over.

Wang Zhenlin and others were staring at Xu Dalong, not understanding how he used mortars to hit the enemy's artillery tower.

Xu Dalong and the soldiers of the Special Service Platoon lifted the mortar to a distance less than fifty meters from the gun tower, and then continuously adjusted the muzzle, so that the elevation angle of the muzzle formed an angle of less than 30 degrees with the ground.

No one could understand what Xu Dalong was doing. You should know that the mortar is a curved cannon, and the shells have a certain friction between the cannon barrel. Only at a large angle, the shells can rely on their own gravity to slide down quickly, hit the bottom fire at the bottom of the shells, and fire the shells out.

At an angle of less than 30 degrees, the shell is placed into the barrel and can also slide into the barrel, but under the action of friction, the sliding speed is very slow, not enough to hit the bottom fire at the bottom, ignite the launching medicine, and launch the shell. This actually forms a dud, and it is very dangerous to eliminate duds.

Everyone was wondering, and saw Xu Dalong holding a ring made of wheat straw in his hand, putting it on the warhead of the mortar shell, and pushing the shell into the cannon barrel with force.

With a "boom", the mortar shells flew out. At a distance of more than 40 meters, the shells basically remained straight, hitting the artillery tower directly, and blasting a big hole in the artillery tower that was only two layers of brick-thick.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers were not lacking in creativity. This method of using mortars was invented by the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region in the second half of 1944. There are scenes of using mortars in the TV series Snow Leopard.

When the officers and soldiers of the New Regiment were very excited when they saw the shells exploded.

Wang Zhenjiang praised: "Brother Dalong, you really have it. In the future, the Japanese cannon tower will become a decoration."

He was very interested, and imitated Xu Dalong's appearance, picked up a shell and fired it out. At such a close distance, his shell also hit the target, blew a big hole between the second and third floors of the artillery tower.

A few minutes later, a gun tower was destroyed by mortars, most of the Japanese and puppet troops inside were bombed to death, and a small number of escaped Japanese and puppet troops were also shot dead by the soldiers.

Seeing this situation, the officers and soldiers of the New Regiment cheered for victory.

Unfortunately, the New First Regiment brought out more than a dozen mortar shells this time. Some of the battles in front had consumed. After knocking down the cannon tower, the shells were all exhausted.

However, there is only one cannon tower left, so it will be much easier.

The soldiers sealed the shooting holes on the artillery tower respectively. Monk Wei first gave them a demonstration and threw a grenade into the shooting hole.

The officers and soldiers of the New First Regiment learned immediately. They rushed forward and threw grenades at the shooting port of the artillery tower.

Although they had not practiced, most of the grenades hit the wall, but they could not stop them from throwing them continuously, and grenades were still thrown in.

Soon after, the battle was completely over.

The regiment headquarters of the new first regiment in Daguo Village.

In the yard of the regiment headquarters, the regiment commander Ding Wei and other cadres looked at the mountains of weapons and ammunition in the yard, and they all laughed from ear to ear.

Wang Zhenlin reported the results with great enthusiasm: "The officers and soldiers of the first battalion won a great victory, annihilated 96 Japanese troops, 252 puppet troops, and seized two mortars, a Type 92 heavy machine gun, three crooked machine guns, six Czech light machine guns, eighty-six Type 38 rifles, 232 Hanyang-made rifles, two turtle boxes, two lieutenant command knives, and other supplies..."

After reporting on the results of the battle, Wang Zhenlin said with some shame: "Captain and political commissar, the battle was not going well at the beginning. Thanks to the help of Brother Dalong and the brothers he brought, we must arrange a banquet and treat Brother Dalong and the others well."

Ding Wei said happily: "That's certain. Today I will have a good drink with Brother Dalong."

At the banquet, Ding Wei asked, "Brother Dalong, what did Li Yunlong send you here?"

Ding Wei was very smart. He knew that Xu Dalong and others would not come to the new regiment headquarters for no reason.

Xu Dalong said: "Captain Ding, our new regiment Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu have a close relationship with our leader Li. Our regiment commander hopes that you can give them to our independent regiment."

Ding Wei smiled and said, "I said, this kid Li Yunlong has no good intentions. I sent you here to poach people. Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu are our new group of treasures, but we are reluctant to let them leave."

Xu Dalong was not in a hurry when he heard Ding Wei say this, because Ding Wei didn't say anything to death. He smiled and said, "Captain Ding loves talents, and we Captain Li knows that this Zhaozhuang battle, our Independent Regiment's Special Service Platoon also participated. According to the theory, the weapons and ammunition seized should be distributed to us as long as Captain Ding is willing to give these two people to us."

Xu Dalong guessed correctly. Ding Wei did not mean to detain Wang Chengzhu and Sun Desheng. He deliberately made a difficult move, of course he hoped to gain more benefits.

Hearing Xu Dalong say this, he reluctantly said: "Brother Dalong, you have helped us a lot this time. I am giving you face. If Li Yunlong cares about me asking for someone, there will be no door."

Xu Dalong hurriedly said, "Then thank you Captain Ding. Come on, I'll give you a cup."

Ding Wei did not raise his glass, and he said, "Brother Dalong, don't worry, I still have one condition."

When Xu Dalong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Li Yunlong said that Ding Wei was a person who was difficult to deal with, and it seemed that it was true. He said, "Captain Ding, please speak."

Ding Wei said: "This time I attacked Zhaozhuang, the brothers of the first battalion have learned a lot of skills from you. Please help me stay in the New First Group for two days and teach you some of your skills to the brothers of the New First Group. Don't worry, keep your promises in keeping your words and let Wang Chengzhu and Sun Desheng follow you in two days."

When Xu Dalong heard Ding Wei make this request, he sighed and said, "This is no problem. I used to be a member of our new group, so it is necessary to help this."

Ding Wei happily raised his wine glass and said, "Brother Dalong is just happy. Come on, let's go."

After the banquet, Ding Wei arranged for Xu Dalong and others to go to rest first, saying that he would send someone to ask Wang Chengzhu and Sun Desheng to see them later.
