Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 68
70
As soon as a dozen devils rushed to the door of the barracks, a violent explosion sounded behind them.

Two shells blew up two large holes in the roof of the barracks, and one shell directly smashed into the barracks and exploded, blowing up the last four devils who hadn't rushed out.

"Kill it!" There were about a dozen devil soldiers left, holding rifles and shouting slogans, as if they had been given a stimulant, and rushed towards the gate of the stronghold screaming.

Zhang Yunshan, the second company commander, was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood.

"The devils are going to fight with their lives, and we must not let them rush over! Shoot immediately, sweep with machine guns, and the machine gunners shoot quickly, kill them all!"

"Da da da..." The two crooked guns that were closest to the distance fired first, and more than a dozen [-] big covers nearby also fired. In just a few seconds, more than a dozen devils were all beaten into a hornet's nest.

"Rush in and destroy the remnants of the enemy! Comrades, follow me!" Zhang Yunshan shouted, waving the Mauser pistol in his hand, and then rushed into the devil's stronghold.

"Come on!" Dozens of the Eighth Route Army, armed with rifles and crooked handles, all rushed into the stronghold.

The dozens of puppet soldiers trapped in the barracks threw their weapons out of the barracks before Zhang Yunshan rushed over, and then walked out of the barracks one by one with their heads in their arms, shouting surrender as they walked, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would shoot them to death!

With the help of the surrendered puppet army, the battlefield was cleaned very quickly.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yunshan rushed to the headquarters of the Japanese squad leader with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Wang Ping was staring at the Devil's map with fascination, Zhang Yunshan didn't want to interrupt, but he was so excited that he still reported excitedly after holding back for a few minutes.

"Battalion Commander, the results of the battle have been counted. A total of 78 devils were wiped out. Of the 28 puppet soldiers, 13 died, and the rest were all captured. We sacrificed 24 comrades, and three were seriously injured. But it took a total of 48 shells and 50 grenades. Fortunately, we seized more than [-] grenades in the devil's stronghold, otherwise the grenades we brought would be used up!"

"In addition, we also seized one heavy machine gun, two crooked handles, two grenade launchers, 54 92 large caps, old puppet military sleeves, [-] medium-sized guns, and nine various pistols. It is intact and can be used by holding it. The remaining weapons, including two crooked handles, a grenadier, and twenty or thirty rifles, were all blown into parts during the battle!"

Wang Ping was not unhappy because his thoughts were interrupted, and he replied very satisfied: "The ammunition is used a little bit more, but the casualties are less, which is more cost-effective than anything else!"

Zhang Yunshan didn't agree with this point of view at first. As a veteran of the Red Army, he was used to living a hard life, but now he is suddenly asked not to care about ammunition consumption when fighting. In his opinion, he is no different from a prodigal son.

Take the battle in front of us as an example. Three mortars, six grenade launchers, one heavy machine gun, nine crooked handles, and a lot of ammunition were used to deal with the dozens of independent battalions of devils.

This should be placed in other main forces, enough to fight a medium-sized battle, and the independent battalion is just to fight dozens of devil soldiers, which can be described as a luxury.

However, we have to admit that in the face of such powerful firepower, even the invincible Japanese elite can only be beaten passively.

The results of this battle and the ratio of casualties to other troops can only be described as a miracle, and it cannot be realized at all.And the Independence Battalion did it, and more than once.

Facing miraculous battles one after another and being defeated by the battalion commander Wang Ping, Zhang Yunshan gradually accepted the view that firepower is paramount on the battlefield.Fights that can be solved with guns should never use machine guns, battles that can be solved with machine guns should never use rifles, battles that can be solved with rifles should never use bayonets!

Zhang Yunshan accepted this way of fighting, not to mention the platoon leaders and ordinary soldiers below.

For them, as long as they can win the battle and reduce the casualties of the troops, it is a good way of war.

Wang Ping didn't know that his combat style and method had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Independence Battalion and accepted by everyone.After nodding to Zhang Yunshan, he turned his gaze back to the map hanging on the wall!
Then, without waiting for Zhang Yunshan to open his mouth, he ordered: "Let everyone take the time to rest, and take out some of the captured cans to replenish the soldiers' strength. We will continue to set off in three hours at most!"

"Battalion Commander, are there devils about to fight again!" Thinking of Wang Ping staring at the map just now, Zhang Yunshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

Wang Ping nodded and replied: "You just said that we used a lot of mortar shells and didn't capture them. I, Wang Ping, never do business at a loss in wars. I will definitely find a way to replenish the used shells in the next battle. Otherwise, we will A total of 150 shells can't support a few battles!"

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and while the soldiers of the independent battalion were still resting and replenishing their strength after eating and drinking, several company platoon leaders had already been called to the office of the original Japanese squad leader.

After looking at the captured devil's watch on his wrist, Wang Ping ordered without hesitation, "After half an hour, the troops will start to move!"

"Guard platoon!"

"Here!" Zhong Yusheng stood up expectantly, and then stared at Wang Ping eagerly, expecting Wang Ping to give him the best task.

Wang Ping waved his hands and replied: "Don't get too excited. Your task is to stay in Wuzhen, take care of the prisoners and the prisoners, and then block Wuzhen until twelve o'clock tonight. When the time is up, immediately take the captured and prisoners to Zhangjiawan and Instructors assemble!"

"The second company, the third company, and the artillery platoon, bring all the equipment and ammunition, and follow me to attack the Japanese army's Guanliang stronghold. According to the map, a reinforced Japanese squad and a company of puppet troops are stationed here, not only equipped with heavy machine guns, but also A mortar team. As long as we can take this stronghold, we can replace the shells we spent."

The three of them stood up excitedly and replied: "Please rest assured, the battalion commander, and promise to complete the task!"

Although the independent battalion had cut off the telephone line from Wuzhen to the county seat before the attack, Laiyuan City did not receive news of the attack on Wuzhen.But the sound of the offensive guns still reached the ears of the Japanese and puppet troops in several surrounding strongholds.

Also because the sound of the guns didn't last too long, and the sound of the guns was faint and vague, the Japanese and puppet troops in these strongholds did not send people to Wuzhen to check.

However, after dawn, devils from two strongholds still contacted the county town and reported the gunfire they heard.

The staff officers of the Japanese Army Headquarters in Laiyuan City did not dare to be negligent, and immediately contacted the Wuzhen stronghold, but they definitely couldn't get in touch.

"Nani, the contact with the Wuzhen stronghold was lost, and there was still the sound of gunfire last night! Could it be that the Wuzhen stronghold was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army? It shouldn't be, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is in Shuiquan Village, how could it be possible to appear dozens of miles away at once? Wuzhen outside?" After listening to his subordinates' report, the chief of staff frowned and said to himself.

Because this matter is related to the safety of a stronghold, it is more related to the real strength of the Eighth Route Army in Laiyuan.The chief of staff did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent scouts to investigate in the direction of Wuzhen.

However, because the chief of staff did not have real evidence that the Eighth Route Army had attacked the Wuzhen stronghold, the chief of staff did not immediately report to Ono Dazuo.He is waiting for the reconnaissance team to come back with definite news before reporting to Captain Ono!
