The mortar shells shot straight out, just like a direct-fire artillery piece. Sanbao regained his eagerness to try. Even though it was just morning, he was a little impatient. He didn't feel tired after he had not rested all night last night.
He had never felt that a day passed so long and slowly.
Finally, the sun, which had been running all day, gradually set and rested in the mountains to the west. The sky became dark, and Sanbao couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately ordered the troops to set off.
Seeing Sanbao's order, Li Yong wanted to persuade him to wait until late at night, but seeing Sanbao's energy, he knew that it would be in vain. The troops quickly arrived in front of the Japanese stronghold. The soldiers still ambush and prepare to attack according to the operational deployment. They did not do anything.
change.
What has changed is the Japs and Sanbao in the stronghold. After a battle last night, the Japs in the stronghold thought that the guerrillas could not do anything to them and successfully forced the guerrillas to evacuate. They were proudly relaxing their vigilance and celebrating. They had no idea.
Even though the guerrillas returned quickly, we didn't expect that they would launch an attack just after dark. Usually it was late at night, and the Japanese defense was lax.
The difference between Sanbao is the artillery. In order to strike accurately, Sanbao led Shanzi crawling forward only a hundred or ten meters away from the Japanese stronghold, and quickly placed the cannon securely.
The gun body was quickly fixed, and Sanbao carefully pointed the muzzle at the Japanese watchtower, and then placed a mortar shell with a powder bag on the muzzle.
"This time you have something to look at!" Sanbao shouted, and then took a cut piece of straw from Shanzi's hand. At this time, he had experience. As he poked hard, mortar shells roared out.
The shell accurately hit the center of the watchtower, and with a violent explosion, a large hole appeared in the middle of the watchtower after a flash of fire. As the soldiers cheered, Sanbao's second shell was fired immediately.
A shell penetrated through the hole that had just been made. With the explosion, everyone saw that the watchtower shook a few times, and then the entire upper part collapsed, and the broken bricks and rocks completely covered the watchtower below.
This made everyone stunned. No one thought that a flat shot of mortar shells could be so powerful. At this time, the Japanese in the surrounding bunkers came to their senses, and the panicked Japanese began to fire desperately outside.
At this time, Sanbao was somewhat exposed outside, and Li Yong shouted: "Captain, take cover quickly." But Sanbao was getting ready to fight, and he began to adjust the muzzle of his gun to aim at the Japanese bunker.
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Li Yong had to order: "Hit me hard and cover the captain!"
At this time, the Japs in the bunker had discovered San Bao, which was the most deadly to them. The Japs' firepower was immediately aimed at San Bao, and the bullets were tilted toward San Bao.
Rows of bullets hit Sanbao in front of him. As long as the Japanese who fired the gun slightly adjusted the muzzle according to the impact point of the bullet, Sanbao would not be able to dodge. However, Sanbao, who was attentive, paid no attention to it and said, "Go ahead." Following him.
Shouting, the third shell accurately lifted the bunker that was spraying flames into the sky.
"Come on!" Seeing that all the firepower points in the Japanese fortifications had been destroyed by Sanbao, there was no firepower that could withstand their attack. Li Yong from behind immediately gave the order to attack.
The Japanese who were unprepared were already panicking, but seeing the watchtower and bunker being easily destroyed, it seemed that this was not an ordinary guerrilla but a regular force of the Eighth Route Army. The remaining Japanese in the surrounding fortified houses were frightened.
Before they could tremble and pick up their guns, the soldiers rushed forward.
The soldiers began to use grenades to deal with the remaining Japs, which made the Japs even more irresistible. Soon, all the Japs in the stronghold were eliminated.
"Clean the battlefield quickly." Sambo, who followed, ordered.
The soldiers began to pick out guns and ammunition from the Japanese and from the collapsed bunker. Sanbao happily looked at the various guns and ammunition piled in front of him. This time the mortar made a great contribution. Sanbao even thought that this might be his future.
