Chapter 458 Give Warmth to Devils!
"parking!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, on the road from Dagu Town to Heyuan County, Yao Shangwen's voice roared.

The road 700 meters away from the thickened gun tower built by the devils.

A Jiefang truck braked to a stop, and a 150mm howitzer towed behind the truck also stopped in place.

The artillerymen on the truck jumped down one after another, surrounded by soldiers from the new regiment and battalion wearing steel helmets.

Zhang Dabiao followed closely, jumped out of a jeep, and came to a higher observation point.

The guard handed the binoculars to Zhang Dabiao, and Zhang Dabiao lay down on the ground, raised the binoculars and looked at the devil's gun tower in the distance.

Through the field of vision through the telescope, I saw that this was a devil's gun tower that was half repaired. The devil had already discovered the approaching Eighth Route Army and set up their guns, while the construction workers and ordinary people had dispersed like birds and beasts.

"About 30 devils, more than 50 ordinary people and workers."

"This blockhouse hasn't been repaired yet, and the cement hasn't even dried yet."

The first company commander reported the situation detected to Zhang Dabiao.

Zhang Dabiao immediately found Yao Shangwen and said, "Battlemaster Yao, the devil's gun towers haven't been repaired yet, and the cement hasn't been dried yet. Let the devils and the semi-finished gun towers be handed over to our first battalion. Don't fight your big guy. Save yourself!" Waiting for a waste of shells."

Hearing this, Yao Shangwen held up his binoculars to look at it for a while, and said, "Okay, then this gun tower will be handed over to your first battalion."

The first phase of the Xinyi Regiment's battle was to take down all the gun towers and bunkers outside the city.

Because the devils built bunkers and gun towers on the road leading to the county.

Only when these bunkers and gun towers are taken away can the next stage of combat be continued, that is, encirclement and reinforcements.

Therefore, the artillery unit of the new regiment was divided into three parts, and they cooperated with the infantry to take down the bunkers and artillery towers outside the three counties of Heyuan, Anhua and Pingan.

The troops of each division attacked from all directions, dividing the devil's blockade into several parts, so as to ensure that the main force would destroy the bunkers and gun towers one by one.

The Sword Squadron is also responsible for infiltrating with combat squads, cutting the phone lines of the devils, and monitoring the devils and puppet troops in the three counties.

Li Yunlong's intelligence personnel stationed in the three counties have lost contact with the regiment headquarters.

Either arrested or sacrificed.

The cipherbooks were changed immediately between the ministries of the Xinyi Regiment.

Under Zhang Dabiao's order, the artillery company of the first battalion quickly set up the mortars, and the first platoon of the second company was ready to attack.

A row of mortar shells hit the past, and with the rumbling sound of the explosion, the devil was instantly blown upside down. With the extension of the artillery fire, the unsolidified turret was blown up by the mortar shells like paper paste.

The soldiers in the second company and the first row were in groups of three, and they cooperated to attack the devils.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the soldiers in the second row had already attacked 100 meters away from the devils.

With the cooperation of each battle group, the soldiers attacked and advanced while shooting at the devil, who was immediately overwhelmed by the firepower and couldn't lift his head.

The devils couldn't imagine that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army could have such powerful firepower during the attack. Those who didn't know thought that the Eighth Route Army was defending and the Japanese army was attacking.

The three-three system tactics have been practiced many times, but this is the first time it has been used in actual combat.

Looking through the binoculars at the devil who was almost being beaten, Zhang Dabiao looked very satisfied.

Under normal conditions.

The devils are on the defensive side. There are more than 30 people with two machine guns. With sufficient ammunition and precise marksmanship, they can easily deal with the attack of a company of the Eighth Route Army.

But the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are better than the devils, and their marksmanship is no worse than that of the devils. As long as the devils show their heads, they will be killed immediately.

Coupled with skilled tactical coordination, overwhelming military strength and firepower, the devils were beaten powerless.

After the two met each other, the devils knew that they were not their opponents, and left more than 20 corpses behind. The remaining 10 or so devils turned around and ran with their weapons in their hands, running wildly.

The whole fight took less than 5 minutes.

"Remember, the guards, one battalion took down one of the gun towers."

Zhang Dabiao smiled slightly, took away a thickened and reinforced gun tower, and got 10 cannons.

When this business is done, Xinyituan will get rich again.

"Keep going!"

Then, Zhang Dabiao ordered again, ordering a company to open the way in front, and the scouts scouted the situation in advance.

After all, there is a truck full of shells and a 1mm howitzer by my side.

The trucks and howitzers must be kept safe.

Behind the main force, there are 5 trucks and 5 150mm howitzers.

The troops advanced about 800 meters, and finally saw the second devil's gun tower, which had been repaired.

A layer of barbed wire and an earth wall were built around the gun tower, and a trench was dug at the barbed wire.

In fact, it can only be regarded as a small turret, with a height of only about 10 meters. There is no sawtooth structure on the top of the turret, but thickened reinforced concrete, up to two meters thick.

The firing holes of the bunker have a funnel structure, that is, the inside is narrow and the outside is wide. This design not only ensures the shooting range of the machine gun, but also makes it difficult to shoot bullets into the inside of the bunker from the shooting holes.

If the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army cannot destroy it, it must pay a great price to take it away, and it can only be filled with human life.

After the birth of concrete, a permanent military became synonymous with bitter fighting.

If it is to attack the fortress, it is naturally very difficult for the new regiment at the moment, but is this single reinforced concrete thickened devil's gun tower now...

"Report to the battalion commander, the group of devils we defeated just now fled into this gun building."

The reconnaissance platoon leader ran over with a submachine gun hanging on his chest to report the situation to Zhang Dabiao.

"Just take it away in one pot!"

The corner of Zhang Dabiao's mouth showed a murderous look.

Afterwards, Zhang Dabiao and Yao Shangwen met again and agreed that the heavy artillery battalion would bombard the devil's blockhouse with heavy artillery.

It's just right that the devil's gun tower can be blown down. If the devil's gun tower can't be knocked down, the infantry of the first battalion will cover the fire-breathing soldiers, touch the devil's gun tower and use the flamethrower to warm the devil.

"Set up the gun!"

It is about 800 meters away from the devil's gun tower. Since the devil's gun tower is located on a higher terrain, it is possible to use a 150mm heavy artillery to aim at the devil's gun tower and shoot directly.

On a flat ground, the car soldier turned the truck around so that the muzzle pointed in the direction of the devil's gun tower.

More than a dozen artillerymen jumped out of the trucks and began to work. Those who set up the cannons set up the cannons, and those who carried the cannonballs carried the cannonballs. The artillery squad leader set up the artillery mirrors and began to measure the distance.

The 150mm howitzer was set up quickly, and a set of actions, including digging the hoe pit, took less than 5 minutes in total.

Due to the protection of a battalion and a machine artillery battalion, and the scouts did not find the Devils artillery positions within a few kilometers, there was no need to build anti-artillery positions.

A gunner squatted behind the gun mount, put his eyes close to the optical sight, and guided the gun barrel to point.

Ka Ka Ka... The cradle was rotated rapidly, and the elevation angle of the gun barrel rose slowly, pointing directly at the devil's gun tower.

……

It was afternoon, and the sun was scorching.

The devil is not blind, and naturally saw the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army. A 150mm howitzer stood there, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Nani, what kind of cannon is this?"

The leader of the devil squad in the gun tower was on the second floor. He was surprised to see the cannons of the Eighth Route Army through the shooting holes.

A few minutes ago, the devil who was in charge of supervising the construction of the gun tower fled back, saying that the Eighth Route Army had come to attack, and it was carrying heavy artillery.

At first, the leader of the Devil squad was not flustered, thinking that Eight Routes was carrying a 105mm howitzer.

After all, in the Chinese battlefield, whether it is China or Japan, the 105mm howitzer can be called a heavy artillery.

But if you take a closer look with the telescope, it doesn't look like a 105mm howitzer at all, and the caliber is a bit larger than 105mm.

"The caliber of this cannon... has to be 150 mm!"

After judging the caliber of the Eighth Route Army cannon, Captain Devil's expression changed, his voice trembled, and cold sweat flowed down his back and into his groin.

After the last batch of bunkers and gun towers were taken away by the new regiment, the newly built Devils gun towers not only greatly enhanced their defenses, but also widened the trenches, added barbed wire, and even built a suspension bridge.

But the devil never imagined that the Eighth Route Army still had 150mm heavy artillery!
"how can that be?"

Captain Guizi suspected that his eyes were wrong, rubbed his eyes and observed carefully for a while, and finally confirmed that the caliber of the eight-way cannon was not less than 150 mm.

Hearing what their squad leader said, the faces of the devils all changed, and there was a look of horror in their eyes.

At that moment, the leader of the devil squad turned around and pushed away a devil soldier guarding the phone, then grabbed the phone receiver and turned the handle vigorously.

You must immediately report the information that the Eight Routes have 150mm heavy artillery to the regiment leader!
The ghost soldier cried and said: "Captain, I have already called, but the call cannot be reached, and the telephone line has probably been cut off."

"Baga!" The devil squad leader cursed angrily, and threw the microphone heavily to the ground.

"Little Captain, what should we do now, shall we continue to guard?" A ghost soldier asked.

"We must stick to it!" Captain Guizi's eyes were fierce, "Our gun tower is 2.5 meters thick, and the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route may not be able to destroy it. If we dare to attack, we will definitely cause the Eighth Route to bleed and suffer heavy losses!"

The baptism of bushido and militarism has made these basic-level devil officers extremely fanatical and fearless of death.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the devils changed from a little panic to a fierce look.

"Ready to fight!"

The devil squad leader yelled, and the devils who had just fled immediately entered the fighting position.

……

At the same time, a new group of 150mm heavy artillery positions.

"Report, aiming complete!"

A gunner shouted.

"Load the shells!"

"One round of loading, loading is complete!"

"put!"

The artillery squad leader put down the command flag in his hand, and the artilleryman in charge of pulling the string suddenly pulled the matchlock in his hand.

"boom!"

When the cannon was ejected from the chamber, a dazzling white light flashed from the muzzle, and it made a loud noise like thunder, and a cloud of dust was immediately rolled up around the 150mm howitzer.

A high-explosive armor-piercing shell crossed the unique low trajectory in the air and flew towards the devil's gun tower.

……

(It’s the last day for the double monthly pass, begging for monthly pass support!!!)
