Chapter 6 Bigger and stronger, create greater glories
"Baga! You guys! Hurry up and rush forward, take back the stronghold and work, otherwise we will all die!" The Japanese Army Commander Cao severely kicked the puppet platoon leader next to him.
The puppet platoon leader knew that he was going to die, but he dared not speak out in front of the Japanese, so he could only bite the bullet and lead his troops forward.
The Japanese Army Commander Cao led his troops to follow the puppet troops.
When the Japanese and puppet troops who went out to pursue realized that they had fallen into the trap, the Huzhuang stronghold was already under the control of the 2nd Battalion.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion looked at the Japanese and puppet troops running in the distance, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised.
At first, the Japanese and puppet troops huddled in the stronghold and shot them with machine guns. Now that their identities have been swapped, they naturally have to deal with these turtle bastards!
The machine gunner aimed his machine gun at the Japanese and puppet troops in the distance, waiting for the central turret to open fire.
Because Ding Wei had already sent someone to convey the combat order to them.
Taking the Type 92 heavy machine gun in the turret as its signal, as long as the turret in the middle did not fire, even if the Japanese and puppet troops ran in front of them, they were not allowed to fire.
Ding Wei looked at the Japanese and puppet troops who were gradually approaching, with a sneer on his lips.
The road that the Japanese and puppet troops attacked was built for traffic.
Unlike the surrounding undulating slopes, this road was naturally wide and flat. There was no place for the Japanese and puppet troops to hide. Their behavior was tantamount to death.
Ding Weixuan decisively pulled the trigger and fired short bursts at the Japanese and puppet troops.
"Tata Ta..."
A tongue of fire suddenly erupted from the firing hole of the gun tower, and dense bullets were sprayed towards the Japanese and puppet troops outside the stronghold, mowing down a dozen puppet troops in the front row in an instant.
As soon as the Type 92 heavy machine gun fired, the light machine guns in the bunkers on both sides opened fire one after another. Three tongues of flames immediately spewed out from the stronghold, mercilessly killing the Japanese and puppet troops outside.
Most of the puppet troops in the front row fell down in an instant. The fierce firepower of light and heavy machine guns prevented the Japanese puppet troops from advancing even half a step. They could only lie on the ground to avoid the flying bullets.
Listening to the sound of bullets whizzing in their ears, the Japanese and puppet troops were trembling with fear, because without bunkers they could not organize an effective counterattack.
The light and heavy machine gun bullets immediately sent smoke and dust flying everywhere on the ground.
Even if they lie down on the ground, it will have no effect. The stray bullets sprayed from the machine guns alone are enough for them to drink a pot.
The light and heavy machine guns showed strong suppressive power. More and more Japanese and puppet troops were shot and rolling on the ground wailing.
The double mental and physical torture destroyed the fighting spirit of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.
The harsh gunshots of light and heavy machine guns surrounded the Huzhuang stronghold, and bullets ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Japanese and puppet troops.
A platoon commander also led his troops back at this moment. They were lying on a slope and launched an attack on the back of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.
Under attack from two sides, these Japanese and puppet troops were unable to fight back and were completely wiped out in a short time.
The gunfire inside the stronghold gradually stopped.
The Japanese and puppet troops have been beaten into a pile of mud by bullets, and no one can breathe anymore.
Ding Wei and others walked out of the stronghold one after another.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion looked at the corpses scattered around them in disbelief, and could not recover for a moment.
"Captain, we won the battle! All the Japanese and puppet troops in the Huzhuang stronghold were killed by us!"
Mahan's excited shouts brought the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion back from their thoughts.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion cheered in unison.
They finally captured the Huzhuang stronghold that they had failed to attack for a long time today, and wiped out all the enemies in the stronghold!
The task that the six team leaders failed to complete was finally completed under the leadership of Ding Wei!
Now that the great revenge has been avenged, how can they not be excited?
"Don't be anxious yet! Seize the time to clean up the battlefield, take away everything you can, and don't leave even a bullet casing for the little devil!" Ding Wei ordered.
"Yes! Captain!" Mahan said excitedly, and immediately organized his team to clean up the battlefield.
The results were quickly tallied up.
"Report to the leader!" Ma Han said happily: "We have gained a lot this time!"
"Say!" Ding Wei spoke concisely and to the point.
"Yes!" Mahan stood up and said: "Except for 15 people in the entire battalion who were slightly injured when attacking the stronghold, no one was killed!
In this battle, a total of one Type 89 grenade launcher, two crooked handles, one Type 92 heavy machine gun, 65 Type 38 guns, two shell guns, and one Southern-style pistol were seized from the enemy!
There are 60 grenade shells, a total of 50,000 rounds of various types of bullets, 208 cantaloupe mines, a Japanese military knife, and a total of 65 sets of Japanese and puppet uniforms!
The Japanese military has one radio station, one telephone, 50 miles of backup telephone line, and 5 barrels of gasoline.
After a pause, Ma Han grinned: "In addition to weapons and equipment, we also seized a batch of grain, which is initially estimated to be about five thousand kilograms.
There are also 3 fans of pork, 500 kilograms of vegetables, and 50 boxes of canned beef. Now our 28th regiment has enough food rations!
In addition, I also found three trucks and a motorcycle behind the stronghold.
At the end, Ma Han smiled mysteriously: "We also seized 5 boxes of Hengshui Laobaigan!"
Ding Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! Take away all the supplies that can be taken away, and don't leave any Japanese strongholds behind!
Didn’t we also bring a few explosive bags? We blew up the Huzhuang stronghold for me!"
"Yes!" Mahan excitedly accepted the order and left.
Ding Wei was in a very good mood at this time.
The 28th Regiment gained a lot from this battle. More than 60 38-guns were enough to equip two platoons.
In addition to the dozens of rifles, they also harvested two light machine guns and a heavy machine gun.
Especially the Type 92 heavy machine gun.
Even the other main groups don't have much strength, which is enough to make other groups drool.
There is also the grenade. Although its power and range are not as good as the Type 97 mortar, at least they now have close support firepower.
The capture of the Huzhuang stronghold also represented the 28th Regiment's first step towards growth from the previous poverty-stricken state.
To put it in one sentence, make it bigger and stronger and create greater glory!
After this battle, the morale of the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion was high and they regained their confidence.
Following Ding Wei, he captured a Japanese stronghold in the first battle, doubling Ding Wei's prestige in their hearts.
"Captain, the explosive packs have been placed and can be detonated at any time!" Mahan came back to report, looking a little ugly. "But what about those trucks? No one in our group can drive."
Ding Wei pondered for a while and then said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll drive the truck."
In his previous life, Ding Wei was a military king, so he could easily drive a Japanese truck.
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "You load all the supplies into the trucks first, then connect the three trucks end to end with hemp ropes, and then lift the motorcycles onto the trucks and take them away.
Remember to leave three soldiers behind to detonate the explosive packs before leaving!
It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. If the Huzhuang stronghold does not respond to the outside world, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of surrounding enemies!"
"Yes!" Mahan immediately stood up and took the order without asking any further questions.
Fortunately, the truck bed was big enough, and the soldiers worked together to lift the motorcycle onto the truck.
Later.
Ding Wei drove a truck with supplies and some soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, stepped on the accelerator and left the Huzhuang stronghold.
