Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 70

It turned out that this stronghold was attacked by stragglers and rogue soldiers of the Jinsui Army at the beginning of its establishment.

Although the stronghold was not defeated in the end, Tanaka, the supreme commander of the Japanese army at the stronghold, was still taken aback.

So, the next day, he arrested more than 100 young men in the surrounding villages, and under the command of the puppet army, he built the three-story running building in front of him.

After having a running building, although the stronghold was attacked twice by stragglers from the Jinsui Army, the condescending Lieutenant Nakata easily defeated the attackers with machine guns, and killed and wounded more than 100 Jinsui troops.

With this exploit, Nakata's military rank was directly changed from lieutenant to captain, and he was promoted to squadron leader.

Because the supplementary troops for the expanded brigade had not yet arrived, the headquarters of the regiment only added one heavy machine gun squad and one mortar squad for him. As soon as the supplementary troops arrived, the Japanese troops at the Guanliang stronghold would directly expand into squadrons. .

The promotion of the military rank, the expansion of the army, and the headquarters even gave him a Type [-] and a mortar as a reward, all of which made Captain Nakata full of confidence in his future.

When I was happy, I specially asked the puppet army to find two beautiful daughters-in-law from the villages around the stronghold, so that I could have a good time and celebrate.

The Japanese army was full of confidence, but Wang Ping frowned.

Mortars are powerful, but only for soldiers exposed to fire.It has almost no destructive power against the fortifications and the masonry muzzle in front of you.

The three mortars equipped by the artillery platoon, unless the shells are shot directly into the running building, will blow up a little skin on the gun tower.

However, it was hard to get here, and Wang Ping would be unwilling if he didn't fight.

After some hesitation, Wang Ping finally decided to attack.Maybe with good luck, he can find the devil's weakness in the next battle and take down the Guanliang stronghold in one fell swoop.

As a stronghold equipped with both mortars and heavy machine guns, Wang Ping was sure that the devils must have hoarded a lot of equipment and supplies in the stronghold.The expansion of the independent battalion is imminent. Whether it is equipment or other supplies, even military uniforms for the devils to spend the winter, they are all urgently needed by Wang Ping. If there is a chance to win the stronghold, Wang Ping will definitely not let it go.

"It's still the old rule. The second company will attack from the front, and the third company will launch an attack from behind. The devils have to run upstairs, so don't save me bullets when attacking. Two machine guns are aimed at one firing hole to ensure that the devils in the blockhouse are suppressed!" Wang Ping With a calm face, he directly started to give orders!

"The artillery platoon, watch the devils run upstairs and bombard me, and try to smash the artillery tower for me. Also, the devils are also equipped with mortars, which are placed on the roof of the artillery tower without any accidents. Therefore, after the attack begins, you must Knock it out in the shortest time, and don't let it fire!"

"You three sharpshooters, look for your own fighters to hunt down devils and puppet army officers. As for the puppet ordinary soldiers, don't kill them if you can. Maybe in a few days, they will become our comrades-in-arms!"

"Everything... woo woo woo..." As soon as three muffled cannonballs were fired, the shrill sound of shells flying across the sky rang out over the battlefield.

In less than three seconds, an orange fireball burst out from the top of the building when the devil ran, which was particularly dazzling.Then there was a burst of fireballs in front of and on the right side of the gun tower, and finally three violent explosions reached the ears of the soldiers of the Independence Battalion.

Because the distance was too far, Wang Ping couldn't see clearly what happened on the top of the gun tower.

But the two lamps placed by the devil on the top of the gun tower went out instantly, which made Wang Ping very sure that the bombardment just now had a good effect.

The gunner next to the three mortars fine-tuned the shooting angle, and just about to insert the second shell into the barrel, the six grenade launchers equipped by the two companies also fired.

Because their strong turrets could not cause damage, the six grenadiers wisely chose to bombard the Japanese and puppet positions around the stronghold.

The violent sound of artillery broke the silent atmosphere of the battlefield, and woke up all the Japanese and puppet soldiers in their sleep, including the squadron leader, Captain Nakata.

"Where did the enemies of Baga come from, they are even equipped with mortars!" Nakata, who was sleeping on the second floor of the gun tower, was awakened when he heard the violent explosion above his head, and then asked loudly to the slightly panicked subordinates around him.

"I don't know who it is, but the enemy is equipped with at least three mortars and five grenade launchers, and they are attacking us!" A second lieutenant hurried over to report.

Nakata was furious and cursed loudly after being shocked: "Bageyalu, what are you panicking about? We also have mortars and grenadiers. Order the artillery and grenadiers to counterattack immediately. The others are ready to fight, as long as As soon as the enemy appeared, we used machine guns to destroy them. We are in the run-off building, and the enemy outside can't do anything to us!"

"In addition, order the troops and puppet troops outside the stronghold to stand still. As long as we repel the enemy's attack, we will immediately counterattack and destroy the enemy who dares to attack us!"

After the order was issued, the chaotic situation in the gun tower was obviously improved a lot.

Three crooked handles and one heavy machine gun are mounted on the shooting holes in four directions on the second floor of the gun tower, ready to shoot at any time.As for other positions, there are two or three riflemen next to each shooting hole, holding a rifle, and a posture of shooting out at any time.

Nakata nodded in satisfaction, then put on his military uniform calmly, preparing to personally command the defensive battle.

At this time, the second lieutenant who had just left rushed over and reported with a worried face: "Captain, our mortars and grenades on the roof of the gun tower were blown up, and we cannot fight back!"

Nakata was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized, and cursed loudly: "Why panic, without mortars, we still have light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades, and we can still hold the stronghold!"

"Our turret is very strong, and the mortar will definitely not be able to destroy it. As long as the turret is not destroyed, we can use the turret to defend our stronghold and defeat the enemies who want to attack us!"

Under the fierce shelling, the strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops were not in chaos. Faced with this situation, Wang Ping frowned even deeper, and realized that he had encountered a problem.

"Attack first and try!" Wang Ping, who had no other choice, ordered decisively.

Zhang Yunshan next to him nodded and ordered: "Fire all light and heavy machine guns, and the others cover. The first squad should go to the bottom of the gun tower and throw grenades into the shooting holes to kill the devils!"

"Da da da... bang bang bang..." A rifle, a crooked handle, and a heavy machine gun fired at the shooting holes that had been prepared, and the dense bullets instantly hit the devil's gun tower with sparks flying around.

The shooting holes were too small, far away, and located at a high position. Most of the bullets were shot at the outer wall of the gun tower, and very few bullets flew into the shooting holes, causing damage to the devils.

But such intensive offensive firepower, no matter what, can be used to suppress the devils, and maybe even attract the devils' counterattack firepower.

As soon as the second company fired, a group of more than a dozen riflemen rushed out.

Bending over, holding a rifle, trot along the S route, and quickly rushed towards the devil's gun tower.

Wang Ping stared at the Devil's Paolou and a dozen of his subordinates with staring eyes.

The devil, Captain Nakata, is the data eggplant. Perhaps because of his experience in defeating the Jinsui Army's stragglers and rogues in the past two times, Nakata is particularly confident in the battle ahead.

As soon as a group of ten or so people entered his field of vision, Nakata excitedly ordered: "Counterattack, shoot immediately, and destroy the enemy attacking us!"

Dozens of devils hiding in the gun tower completely disregarded the offensive firepower of the independent battalion a hundred meters away, and fired at the first squad facing the bullets that might enter the shooting holes.

With a heavy machine gun, a crooked handle, and six or seven three-eight big covers, in the blink of an eye, seven or eight people in a squad fell down and died.

The remaining three or four people reacted quickly and lay down on the ground quickly, being suppressed by the bullets fired by the Japanese artillery tower, unable to move.
