Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 72 Japanese Counterattack
After the shell flew out of the barrel, it slammed into the devil's gun tower with a scream.

Zhang Bing is worthy of being an old artilleryman. Even if he hit the mortar like this for the first time, he still hit the target accurately.

The roaring mortar directly hit the outer wall of the second floor of the gun tower.

After an orange-red fireball exploded on the outer wall with the sound of an explosion, the gun tower was still standing in the middle of the stronghold like a Mount Tai.But with the help of binoculars, Wang Ping clearly saw that several cracks had been blasted on the outer wall of the blockhouse, and many bricks and stones had been blown off the outer wall.

Although the turret is a masonry structure, it is very strong.But after all, it is not a concrete structure. As long as several shells fall together and explode at the same time, the outer wall of the masonry structure will definitely be blown out of a big hole.

After reaching this conclusion, Wang Ping immediately ordered: "Platoon Leader Zhang, use the same method to continue firing, shoot out all the shells, and hit the second floor of the gun tower. I don't believe that so many shells can't blow up the gun tower." !"

Zhang Bing first smiled wryly, and then he took the order: "Battle Commander, your method of firing cannons is not something ordinary people would use. If the reaction is slow, the shells will get stuck in the barrel and explode, or hit the person who stabbed the shells directly. on the body!"

"For safety's sake, I'll come in person, others will learn first!"

After fine-tuning the mortar that was fired just now, Zhang Bing directly stuffed the shell into the muzzle, and then fired the shell out in the same way.

"Boom!" The shell accurately hit the outer wall of the blockhouse and exploded, but it was slightly off the point of the shell just now.

But even so, the violent explosion still caused a lot of damage to the outer wall of the turret.

While blowing up a lot of bricks and stones on the outer wall, the cracks created just now became bigger.

"Just bomb there, keep firing!" Wang Ping, who became more and more excited, ordered loudly.

"Baga, what's going on, how can the enemy have flat-firing artillery?" Looking at the gun tower that had begun to crack in front of him, Captain Nakata panicked, and asked his subordinates.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army is attacking us outside, and I don't know why they have flat-firing artillery! However, their artillery positions are not far from our artillery towers, within the range of our machine guns!" The team leader quickly replied.

"Then why are you still standing there? Tell the warriors to fight back immediately and destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, immediately!" Captain Nakata shouted.

As soon as the team leader left, Zhongtian continued to scold: "Where are the messengers? Haven't you contacted the Laiyuan City Command yet? The Eighth Route Army is equipped with flat-firing guns, so the Eighth Route Army attacking us must be the main force. The headquarters must immediately send troops for reinforcements." We, otherwise we won't be able to hold on for too long! Bageya Road!"

The messenger who was ready to meet Nakata's anger ran over and lowered his head and replied: "Captain, the telephone line connecting to the headquarters must have been cut off by the Eighth Route Army outside. I can't contact the headquarters at all!"

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army must want to wipe us out... Boom!" Before the cursing could be finished, a violent explosion sounded on the outer wall of the blockhouse.Nakata clearly felt the turret shake violently in the explosion, and then heard the sound of a large number of bricks hitting the ground from the outer wall.

Not to mention, there was a hole the size of a bowl on the outer wall of the blockhouse where the shell hit. Through the hole, one could clearly see the firepower point where the Eighth Route Army was constantly shooting at the blockhouse.

Nakata panicked even more at this time, fearing that he would die here before he actually took the position of squadron leader.

The whole person was like an angry lion, roaring and ordering to the equally panicked subordinates in the gun tower: "Baga, don't panic, counterattack immediately, block the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army with firepower, and shoot back immediately!"

What Nakata didn't see was that under the suppression of the absolute machine gun firepower of the Independent Battalion, although the devils had a strong fighting capacity, they showed a posture that they were not afraid of death.In the counterattack directed by the team leader just now, another seven or eight people were killed by the bullets flying into the gun tower.

At this time, there were less than twenty devils left in the turret, and everyone was panicked and frightened.Although Lieutenant Nakata went into battle in person, he held a command knife and forced them to fight back against the fierce offensive firepower of the independent battalion.However, it still doesn't do much.A few seconds later, another explosion sounded on the outer wall of the gun tower.

The hole the size of the mouth of a bowl directly becomes the size of a washbasin at this time.

Not only that, the flying shell fragments flew along the hole into the gun tower, killing two riflemen.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army can't be allowed to fire anymore!" Captain Zhongtian said anxiously.

Then subconsciously ordered: "The troops outside the gun tower, immediately counterattack, take down the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, and destroy the artillery, otherwise everyone will die here today."

A small captain who was in charge of more than 30 devils outside subconsciously thought of the puppet army staying with him after receiving the order, and then prepared to order the puppet army to rush forward and serve as cannon fodder for the imperial army.

But when he was about to give an order, several puppet army officers around him seemed to have discussed it, and at the same time pushed back a few steps, and then stood directly with his subordinates.

The squad leader didn't need to think about it, the puppet army who showed loyalty to himself and the squadron leader every day would be afraid if they didn't even go to the battlefield.

But in order to reduce the casualties of the troops, he still issued an order for the puppet army to cooperate with the attack.

But after the order was issued, the puppet army did not move, including the company commander of the puppet army who was loyal to the imperial army. At this time, he also shrank behind his subordinates, lowered his head, as if he had not heard the order.

The captain frowned, took out his pistol and asked, "Wang Sang, didn't you hear my order?"

Under the order of the squad leader, the thirty or so devil soldiers raised their rifles and pointed at the puppet army as if they were happy to negotiate.

Since the Japanese army has always been very hot, if the puppet army does not move, these devils will definitely shoot without mercy.

"Taijun calm down, I'll let my subordinates start attacking immediately!" Facing the puppet company commander who was already afraid of the Japanese army to the bone, he could only stand up bravely, and then said flatteringly.

"Yoxi! I'll give you half a minute, and you must launch an attack within half a minute." The squad leader immediately showed a complacent expression, and then ordered with a calm face.

Seven or eight confidantes brandished pistols and uttered curses from time to time.

It didn't take long for more than 100 puppet troops to rush towards the artillery position of the independent battalion reluctantly holding rifles under their pressure.

Wang Ping, whose eyes had never left the devil's turret, could see these Japanese and puppet troops rushing at a glance.

Then he drew out two crooked handles to block them.

At this time, an astonishing scene appeared.

After the two crooked guns shot at them, five or six puppet soldiers were killed and wounded just now. The other puppet soldiers in front of the devil, as if they had negotiated, all lay on the ground in unison, motionless.

Wang Ping didn't know what the puppet army's purpose was, but as soon as they got down on the ground, the devils behind them were exposed to the machine guns.

"Quick, hit the devils behind the puppet army and kill them all!" Wang Ping ordered excitedly.

"Da da da..." Two crooked guns immediately shot at the devil, and many riflemen also joined in at this time. The devil who did not expect this scene was caught off guard, and seven or eight people were killed and injured in one fell swoop.
