Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 388 No time left (seventh update!)
Outside the Zhouzhuang stronghold, Yang Xiong has received a telegram that the Independent Brigade is passing through the blockade.

In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Japanese army, he immediately ordered: "Battle Commander Hong, step up the offensive! Try to take down the stronghold. Otherwise, there will be no place to replenish the shells and bullets we just fired!"

"Cooperate well with the artillery company commander Gong, try to tear a hole in the defense line around the devil's stronghold as soon as possible, and kill in!"

Three consecutive attacks were repelled by the Japanese and puppet troops, and they lost more than one platoon of subordinates.

Hong Tao's ferocity was also aroused by the devil's desperate posture, and he rushed to the front line with a pistol in hand.

"First company commander, what did you do? It's been so long, and the devils haven't charged up yet!" As soon as he saw the three company commanders under him, Hong Tao became furious!

Seeing that the three company commanders kept their heads down and said nothing, the trainer could only stand up and explain: "Old Hong, don't care about them!"

"The machine guns on the devil's cannon tower are so powerful that they press down on our attacking troops, even if we wipe out all of them, we can't charge up."

"Then kill these firepower points!" Hong Tao shouted after thinking about it.

"We tried to find a way. The machine guns fired at each other, and let the sharpshooters snipe, but it didn't work. As soon as the front machine gunner died, the rear ones made up for it. The machine guns continued to shoot!" The instructor shook his head helplessly and replied.

At this moment, Gong Hu, the commander of the artillery company, came over.In front of Hong Tao, he said with a guilty face: "Battle Commander Hong, it's not that they are not brave in fighting, it's that our artillery didn't fight well. After such a long time, even a small artillery tower of the devils hasn't been killed!"

Hong Tao's anger suddenly subsided a lot, he stared at Gong Hu and asked back.

"Then what are you going to do? It will be dawn in a few hours, and the main force is passing through the devil's defense line. Once the main force passes, we will definitely not continue to fight, and then our attack time will be even shorter. If the devil If we can’t take down even one stronghold, then we will be reduced to a laughing stock!”

"I plan to concentrate all the mortars and grenade launchers, and stare at the devil's artillery building to disperse their firepower!"

"The remaining two thunder cannons should be as close to the gun tower as possible. As long as they advance another 50 meters, the hit rate will increase by [-]%. If the two thunder cannons shoot together, they will definitely hit the devil's gun tower!"

Hong Tao frowned and made a decision: "50 meters, right? My whole battalion will attack to cover you and advance 50 meters!"

Then he ordered to the three company commanders around him: "You heard it, I will give you 5 minutes to prepare. After 5 minutes, all weapons will be fired and attack 50 meters forward. Then stop, defend on the spot, and The devils shoot at each other, cover the artillery and fire!"

In the stronghold, the captain no longer had the arrogance and confidence of a few hours ago.

The reinforcements were supposed to arrive in more than an hour, but two or three hours later, there was still no sign of them.

In the defensive battle, although I already have a way to deal with the flying thunder cannon, the only commanding point of the stronghold, the gun tower, has been in good condition so far.However, the offensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army far exceeds that of a reinforced squadron of its own, and the limited defenders have been continuously reduced in battle, and now they are less than half of what they were before.

The Imperial Association Army also suffered heavy losses, almost a company of troops died.

Although there were still two companies left, they were all terrified in the face of heavy casualties and the increasingly fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army. Their faces were pale, and their hands holding the rifles were trembling with tension and fear.

Even if they still stood on the ground and then fired mechanically with their rifles, no one knew where the bullets went.

In this case, the captain was sure that as long as Tubalu rushed up, they would not even have the courage to resist, and they would surrender after dropping their weapons.

The puppet army is unreliable, and the imperial army has suffered heavy losses. The only hope for the captain to hold the stronghold is the gun tower in the middle of the stronghold.

Seven or eight light and heavy machine guns were mounted on the turret, condescending and firing, destroying all the Eighth Route Army who wanted to rush up.

"Captain, the warriors have suffered heavy losses. If this loss continues for two hours, all the imperial troops on the ground around the stronghold will die, and they can only retreat to the gun towers to hold on!" The deputy captain hurried over and reminded with a nervous expression on his face. road.

"Bageya Road! I didn't expect Tuba Road to be so powerful. There were not many defenders in the surrounding strongholds, and even fewer troops were sent over. They must have been defeated and wiped out by the Tuba Road attacking us!" The captain said with a sullen face the result he least wanted to see.

"Do you want to send another telegram to your Excellency, the captain, asking for combat guidance! Without reinforcements, I'm worried that we won't be able to defend the dawn. Tuba Road must have taken a fancy to the supplies, weapons and ammunition in our stronghold!" The deputy captain continued to remind.

The captain compromised, and thought for a full minute with his head down before answering.

"Forget it, send a telegram to the county right away. Compared with our honor, the materials, weapons and ammunition in the stronghold are more important, and they must not fall into the hands of Tuba Road, to increase the strength of Tuba Road?"

"Captain, Tuba Road is attacking again... da da da... boom boom boom..." Just as the order was issued, a sergeant guarding the watchtower shouted, and then heard dense gunshots and explosions It sounded outside the gun tower.

"Baga, why are there so many people on Tuba Road? They are still here!" The captain hurried to the lookout and saw the Eighth Route Army swarming over 200 meters away.Startled at first, then shouted loudly.

"Shoot, shoot immediately, block the Tubalu rushing over!"

The three machine guns in this direction fired immediately, and the Eighth Route Army was constantly killed on the charge.

However, the Eighth Route Army attacked this time as if they were not afraid of death. When the people in front were killed, those behind immediately made up for it, and continued to charge forward with rifles in hand.

"Could it be that Tubalu is desperately trying to take down the gun tower with one attack!" The captain immediately felt a very bad premonition.

Just as he was about to adjust the machine guns from other directions, a cry full of surprise reached the captain's ears, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sir, Tuba Road has stopped attacking!"

The Eighth Route Army, which was still like a wolf just now, was lying on the ground less than 200 meters away from the stronghold, shooting at the stronghold with a rifle.

Not long after, the light and heavy machine guns were set up, and together with the rifles, they fired at the blockhouse. The swishing bullets hit the outer wall of the blockhouse, and sparks flew everywhere, which was very scary!
"Strengthen the firepower, keep shooting, the machine gun can't listen, you must block them!" Captain Changsong ordered with a sigh of relief!
