Chapter 131 Cook a Pot of Steel Broth!

Chapter [-] Cook a Pot of Steel Broth!

In the county seat of Liao County, the Japanese Gendarmerie.

Toshio Imai's call was directly connected to the captain's office of Gendarmerie Captain Takeo Honda.

"Moshi Moshi, I'm Takeo Honda!" Takeo Honda picked up the phone casually and put it to his ear.

"Report to Captain, I am Toshio Imai, the Shixia stronghold has been attacked by eight forces!" Toshio Imai was busy reporting on the phone.

"Nani?" Takeo Honda stood up abruptly and asked in astonishment, "How many troops does the Eight Route Army have? Are there any heavy weapons?"

Toshio Imai replied: "The force is about one battalion. Two mortars have been found so far. The Eight Route Army is digging trenches and building fortifications 2 meters away from the stronghold. It seems that they are preparing for a long-term siege. The firepower in the stronghold cannot reach the Eight Route Army. Ask for tactical guidance. !"

"Imai-kun, don't attack without authorization!" Takeo Honda narrowed his eyes slightly, "Reinforcements will arrive soon!"

"Hi!" Toshio Imai suddenly nodded.

Then hung up the phone, Toshio Imai heaved a sigh of relief, the captain did not give up the stone box stronghold.

In the Gendarmerie captain's office, Takeo Honda took out an accurate map of only Liao County. A long road divides Liao County into two.

It is the Yuliao Highway that goes deep into the base area.

The Shixia stronghold is on the Yuliao Highway, only 5 kilometers away from the county seat. As long as the Eighth Route Army kills the Shixia stronghold, they can drive straight to the county seat.

Does Eighth Road want to attack the county seat?
Although there are still several gun towers and checkpoints between the Shixia stronghold and the county seat, it is wishful thinking to use these gun towers to block the eight roads.

Immediately, Takeo Honda threw away this idea, and with Eighth Route's equipment and firepower, it was wishful thinking to capture the heavily defended county town.

Although Takeo Honda was the captain of the gendarmerie in Liao County, he was also the captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army.
The more than 700 devil soldiers under his command are all elites. Although more than 100 of them have been killed by the Eight Route Army, there are still 600 of them left.

These 600 people still have to guard the strongholds, the city walls, and the gendarmerie. There are only 400 Japanese soldiers who can fight.

However, there are still more than 600 puppet troops in Liao County, of which No. 200 puppet troops will assist the Japanese army in defending the county and strongholds. The total number of troops that can fight is about 800.

The Eighth Route has only one battalion, with a maximum of 400 people.

800 vs 400, the advantage is mine.

At that moment, Takeo Honda called the staff to report the situation here to the Fourth Brigade, and at the same time immediately ordered the assembly of all capable soldiers.

……

On the slope, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were in the scope of the telescope and the scope of the large-caliber sniper rifle, and saw the devil sentinel sticking his head out of the crenel to glance at the trench of the first battalion from time to time, and then quickly retracted, just like a thief like.

Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, judging from this posture, I guess the devil is asking for help."

"It's best to ask for help." Li Yunlong said, "If the devils don't ask for help, labor and management will take this stronghold directly."

The goal of the new regiment today is to eat up all the gun towers and strongholds outside Liaoxian County in one bite.

Pull out all the eyes of the devils and puppet soldiers in Liao County outside the city, and completely become blind.

After a pause, Li Yunlong said: "Huzi, inform Wang Chengzhu to set up all the guns for labor and management."

"Yes!" Huang Erhu walked to the back.

Huang Erhu trotted up to Wang Chengzhu and said, "Company Commander Wang, the regiment commander asked me to inform you to set up all the cannons."

Wang Chengzhu nodded, and said to the mortar squad: "Take your mortar and follow me."

I came to the reverse slope of the slope, found a fairly flat place, and waved my hand in the direction of the grove.

The soldiers of the artillery company came out of the small woods one after another, led the mules, horses and mule carts, and walked towards the slope.

The soldiers set up artillery on the reverse slope of the slope.

About 10 minutes later, the roar of truck motors came from the direction of the county seat.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked over quickly.

I saw six trucks appearing in the field of vision. The trucks were full of devil soldiers with live ammunition, and there was a crooked light machine gun on the roof of the cab.

"The devil's reinforcements have arrived." Zhao Gang said, "It looks like there are about 100 people."

"It should be only the vanguard." Li Yunlong said, "I guess there will be more behind."

"I guess the devil hasn't had breakfast yet. Pass me an order to get the artillery company ready for shelling. When the devil's truck stops, it will fire on labor."

"Let's use cannonballs to cook a pot of steel broth for the devils."

After Wang Chengzhu received the order, he immediately climbed up to the top of the slope and used binoculars to observe where the Devil's truck might stop.

He quickly locked an open space between the trench and the stronghold. The devil's reinforcements must enter the stronghold first, and they can only drive in through the suspension bridge by truck.

Immediately, Wang Chengzhu used the thumb distance measurement method to calculate the distance between the mortar position and the open space, and then retreated to the artillery position, ordering the artillery to debug and shoot Zhu Yuan.

Afterwards, Wang Chengzhu went back to the slope to observe the movement of the Devil's truck with a telescope.

As he expected, as soon as the devil's truck arrived, several puppet soldiers crept out of the gun tower to set up the drawbridge for their devil's father.

The suspension bridge was quickly lowered by several puppet soldiers, and after a while, the devil truck drove off the road and drove straight towards the stronghold.

Then six trucks drove from the suspension bridge to the stronghold in a file, and when they drove to the open space in front of the stronghold, the first car stopped suddenly, and the more than 20 devils on the truck leaned forward slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Chengzhu suddenly lowered his hand that had been raised backwards: "Fire!"

This is the best time to fire. Wait for all the devil trucks to stop before firing. Most of the devils will run into the stronghold. If you fire early, the devil trucks will be too scattered and can't achieve the best bombardment effect. As an old gunner , Wang Chengzhu's artillery experience is very rich.

The ghosts on the first ghost truck hadn't all jumped off, the second ghost truck had just stopped, and the last truck had just passed the suspension bridge.

The devil on the second truck fell forward, and was about to jump out of the car when he heard a strange whistling sound in the air.

The sound passed over the highway, from far to near, and the faces of these battle-tested devils changed drastically. As elite veterans, they certainly knew that the sound was the sound of high-speed flying projectiles piercing the air, and judging from the screaming sound , the impact point is very close to them...

The devil soldiers jumped out of the car in panic, even before the last three trucks stopped, the devils on the truck jumped out impatiently.

However, it was too late, the first round of artillery shells had already slammed down on the five trucks. Amidst a rumbling explosion, the entire area in front of the stronghold was filled with gunpowder smoke and shrapnel flew across.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third rounds of shells fell on the car where the Devil's truck was located. Amidst the thunderous explosion, the place where the Devil's truck was parked turned into a slaughterhouse in an instant, and blood was spattered everywhere.

The devil was blown up badly.
