Chapter 18: Taking Panshui Town

The reason why Zhang Wu did not choose the blockhouse first was because it was pitch black inside the blockhouse, and if he didn't know where the assault team was attacking, it would be easy to hurt his own people by mistake.

It’s different now. With the telescope, the situation inside the blockhouse is clear at a glance. He can let go and do his best.

First he aimed at a machine gun hole, and when the [lock] was pulled, Zhang Wu directly pulled the trigger.

Snapped

The Japanese machine gunner was firing wildly, and in a moment he was shot in the head by a 6.5mm Arisaka bullet.

[Ding, kill a Japanese machine gunner and gain experience 10. (LV2: 10/2000)]

2000 experience!

Hearing the system's prompt, Zhang Wu's eyes widened. If he wanted to level up again, the experience he needed would double!
Then we can’t waste any more time!
Thinking of this, he used the [lock] and [telescope] together, taking into account both the blockhouse and the town wall, achieving the effect of 1+1>2, and madly harvested the Japanese devils.

In just a few minutes, he killed 5 machine gunners, 20 puppet soldiers, 2 sergeants, and 8 heavy machine gunners, and gained 224 experience points.

If the Japanese soldiers on the town wall had not been robbed by grenade launchers occasionally, he would have been able to kill more.

Under his attack, the Japanese's advantage was gone. The machine gunners on the town wall were replaced more and more slowly, and the machine gunners in the blockhouse were all shot dead. The other Japanese and puppet soldiers inside were so scared that they dared not approach the firing holes for fear of being singled out.

This gave Zhang Dabiao the opportunity, and with only three or four casualties he broke through the stairs and occupied the blockhouse.

"Zhang Wu saved our face. I'll have to treat him to a drink when I get back!"

Zhang Dabiao sighed as he stepped over a Japanese soldier who had been shot in the head. He took two machine guns and ordered loudly:
"Take the Japanese machine guns and shoot at the town wall. Squad 3, demolition man, follow me!"

"Yes!"

As the machine guns on the blockhouse began to fire at the town wall, the Japanese were left with only the grenade launchers and mortars under the town wall to hold on!
"Haha, Zhang Wu, you're really awesome!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly:
"You don't have to bother with the Japs' artillery anymore!"

Then he began to give orders:
"Let Wang Chengzhu extend the artillery fire. I don't expect him to destroy the Japanese artillery positions, but as long as he can extend the interval between the Japanese artillery fire and create favorable conditions for the charge, that will be enough!"

"Yes!"

As his order was given, Wang Chengzhu's grenade launcher quickly extended the fire.

As a professional gunner, after such a long period of mutual bombardment, Wang Chengzhu had already guessed the approximate location of the Japanese artillery positions.

Under his bombardment, the Japanese artillery fire began to become disorderly and the intervals between them became longer and longer.

Without artillery support, it would be difficult for the Japanese to launch a decent counterattack, let alone attack the gate under the town wall.

Zhang Dabiao and the third squad seized the opportunity, holding two machine guns and using the smoke from the grenades as cover, they successfully escorted the demolition expert to the gate.

The demolition man installed the explosives, and with a loud bang, the entire gate was blown away.

Taking advantage of the smoke from the explosion, Zhang Dabiao and the third squad set up a position with two machine guns to ensure that the gate was unobstructed.

"almost!"

Seeing this situation, Li Yunlong waved his hand and issued three orders in succession:
"Let Zhang Wu support the second and third battalions. We don't need him here! Grenadiers, go! Buglers, blow the charge!"

When the grenade exploded and smoke rose, Li Yunlong stood up, took the machete handed to him by Hu Zi, and shouted:
"Comrades, put on your bayonets. We have already blown open the turtle shells of the Japanese. Now is the time to drink the turtle soup. Follow me and rush in to kill these turtle bastards!"

"Go! Chop off the devil's head!"

"Kill! Chop the little devils into pieces!"

The charge horn sounded, and except for the suppressed machine guns and grenade launchers, Li Yunlong took the lead, leading the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd companies in batches, rushing towards Panshui Town. On the other side, the nd and rd battalions had already turned to containment.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, although they relied on the bravery of Gu Dashan as the assault team to capture the blockhouse, because of the launch of flares, the Japanese started shooting and they lost the possibility of attacking Panshui Town.

"The commander is right. The firing range is so narrow and the Japs have concentrated such a strong firepower. As many as rush in, all will die!"

The second battalion commander shook off the dirt and gravel that had splashed off his hat brim, and suddenly his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something:
"If earthwork is to be carried out..."

"What are you thinking? The ground in Panshui Town is all stone. How can you dig it?"

The third battalion commander directly put an end to the second battalion commander's wild ideas:

"Our captain is so smart, how could he not think of earthwork tactics? In this situation, we can either use human lives to fill the gap, or rely on sharpshooters like Zhang Wu!"

"That's all I said!"

The second battalion commander found a way out for himself and nodded:
"Yeah, I guess this is the real reason why the captain dared to attack Panshui Town."

As they were talking, they suddenly noticed that the sound of the Japanese machine guns had become much quieter.

Zhang Wu is here?

The two men looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes. They quickly took out their binoculars and saw a Japanese machine gunner being shot in the head.

It’s confirmed, Zhang Wu is here!

"Haha, finally I don't have to suffer this humiliation anymore!"

The second battalion commander was overjoyed and ordered loudly:
"Let the bombardier and bugler prepare, and launch the charge when the Japs are exhausted!"

The third battalion commander also quickly added:
"Order the artillery to extend the artillery fire. Zhang Wu is here to help us take care of the town wall. We don't need them anymore!"

Before they could finish their words, two more Japanese machine gunners were shot and fell to the ground.

"Haha, Zhang Wu is such a great marksman!"

The second battalion commander praised loudly:

"That brave guy Gu in your camp is quite a character. Not only is he fearless, but he also trained such a good soldier!"

"of course?"

The third battalion commander raised his lips proudly:
"My soldiers are all strong and vigorous. They can handle it and withstand it. I will never let you down!"

This was indeed the case. When Zhang Wu arrived at the battlefield, he found that he did not need to take care of the blockhouse, so he found a sniper point at 460 meters to specifically deal with the town wall.

With the telescope and without flares, the Japanese and puppet troops in the dark would have no way to escape even if they didn't fire.

With the [lock] in place, any Japanese devils or puppet soldiers can be defeated with just a single shot of 6.5mm Arisaka bullet.

Under his sniping, the firepower on the town wall weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few minutes, he killed 6 heavy machine gunners, 2 sergeants, 5 machine gunners, 10 Japanese soldiers, and 10 puppet soldiers. Together with the 2 heavy machine gunners and 2 machine gunners he had killed before, he gained a total of 269 experience points.

The two battalion commanders also seized the opportunity, used grenades to clear a path, launched a charge, blew open the gate, and then attacked Panshui Town.

The Japanese in Panshui Town are like turtles, with a hard shell but a soft inside.

After their two town walls were breached, they were quickly wiped out and the remaining puppet troops surrendered.

At this point, the New 1st Regiment completely captured Panshui Town.
