"I'm used to relying on crutches, don't you listen to Commander Han's opinion?" Liu Zhiyuan said.

Han Xing said: "According to me, although the recalcitrant army did not occupy the Jiaochangpu, they had already occupied Zhulou and Dawu. Strike while the iron is hot, and clean up Da Wu and Zhu Lou together. ”

Liu Zhiyuan laughed when he heard this, and said: "Of course it's good, I don't have to go out and see these strongholds, I will be disgusted, and I will be clean as soon as I go." ”

2 kilometers north of Jiaochangpu, is Dawu Village. Han Xing, Liu Zhiyuan, and Wu Yawu, under the leadership of Bai Ruixi, went to check the terrain of Dawu Village. followed by Zhang Xiaosan, Zhang Xiaosan with a company of Wu Xiaoming, which was counted as the vanguard.

Follow the traffic ditch to the north, and after a while, Dawu Village will also arrive. Since the recalcitrant army has occupied Dawu Village for several months, a series of transformations have been carried out on Dawu Village.

The first obstacle is the deer. Chiping is the hometown of jujube forests, and some are jujube trees, so the pseudo-stubborn people cut down the jujube trees one by one and lined up as the first obstacle from three or four meters wide to seven or eight meters wide. Don't look at some jujube branches, but these jujube branches are all thorny, and when they hang on the body, they tear the skin and flesh.

Sticking to the deer, the puppets dug a big ditch around the village outside the village, which was five meters wide and three meters deep, and went straight up and down, and if people didn't have a ladder, they couldn't get up at all. Originally, I wanted to release the water, but the Zhao Niu River kept drying up, and the water was not put in.

Although there was no water, the puppets still thought of a lot of ways, planting mines in some places, planting water grenades in others, fixing the strings in one place, and if they stepped on it, they would blow up the grenades.

The third obstacle is the exterior wall, which is all made of triple soil and has gun holes in the wall. These exterior walls alone are strong enough, and they can only be bombarded by explosives or small artillery.

Then along the streets of Dawu Village, there is only one exit from each street, and there are gun holes in the walls of each house, so that the puppets can shoot everywhere. Each house was flat-roofed, and some of them had a half-meter-high low wall built on the roof, and the pseudo-stubborns controlled the commanding heights of these houses, that is, controlled the air supremacy of the village, which constituted a fourth obstacle.

Further in, in the center of the village, two three-storey blockhouses were built. This bunker is also quite solid, according to the inner line, it is a wall of three or six, and the skeleton of the wall is also reinforced concrete, which belongs to the overall structure, and the bricks are empty. The fire from the bunkers directly controlled all the rooftops and main streets in the village.

According to the internal report, guarding Dawuzhuang were the two companies that the Boguang Third Brigade was most capable of fighting.

Seeing this formation in Dawu Village, Liu Zhiyuan frowned and said to Han Xing: "I don't know if the village has been renovated, if the village is renovated again, it will be stronger than the fortifications of Dabai Village!" ”

Wu Yawu said: "According to the internal report, Dawu Village has not been renovated internally a few days ago, and if it is transformed like Dabai Village, it will be even more difficult to attack." ”

Han Xing said: "Lu Qi is good to say, the big ditch seems to be easy to do, and the outer wall can also be overcome with earth explosives and earth tanks, as long as the village is not transformed, it can also be attacked under the pillbox." However, it is not easy to attack the pillbox, and the general explosive package may not be able to blow it up, and it is better to have artillery. Do you have any artillery in the main regiment of your division? ”

Liu Zhiyuan said to Han Xing with annoyance: "You don't know, I am out of the house, Zhang Weihan is stingy, and he won't give me anything." The main regiment of our division, that is, a few mortars, is not a little worse than the mortar battalion of the directly subordinate regiment. ”

"To tell you the truth," Han Xing said to Liu Zhiyuan with a smile, "You didn't steal these mortar lights from the New 8th Brigade." ”

Liu Zhiyuan was unhappy and said: "The words are so ugly, how can you still steal and steal, how faceless my face is as a commander." ”

Han Xing pierced his old bottom and said: "I have long known that the main regiment of the division did not even have a mortar, and you brought it later. ”

At this moment, Liu Zhiyuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from your Commander Han's eyes!" ”

"But I think," Han Xing said, "that Dawuzhuang still has to be fought, and if we don't, when they renovate the village, it will be even more difficult for us to attack." ”

"But we don't have powerful artillery?" Liu Zhiyuan said a little anxiously.

Han Xing said to Liu Zhiyuan slyly: "If I don't have a gold steel drill and no porcelain work, if I don't have artillery, how dare I hit his turret." ”

Liu Zhiyuan also poked Han Xing's old bottom and said: "No, your guard battalion has no artillery equipment." Where did it come from, did you steal it? ”

Han Xing pouted and said, "What a steal, what a steal, how ugly, where do you tell me to put my face!" I borrowed it from Hou Dashan. Knowing that it is possible to attack the enemy's stronghold, if there is no artillery, it will be a great loss! That's why I prepared 2 doors early. ”

"What cannons do you have? Why didn't I see it? Liu Zhiyuan asked.

"If they were all visible, wouldn't it be troublesome!" Han Xing said, "I borrowed the Type 92 infantry gun, and it was all dismantled. In addition, the commander of the first company, Libus, was also borrowed. ”

Liu Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Li Bus, this is the ace shooter in Wang Dawu's hands!" ”

In order to attack Dawuzhuang, the main regiment of the sub-division and the guard battalion of Han Xing issued a notice to the troops as early as possible, telling everyone to fully consider the difficulties in the attack and to make full ideological and material preparations.

After preparing for a day, everyone made preparations in all aspects, and then the next day at dawn began to attack the stronghold of Dawuzhuang.

This time, Liu Zhiyuan let the third battalion attack as the main attack, and the second battalion followed closely, attacking from south to north. The first battalion divided its troops to hold the reinforcements to the north and west of Dawuzhuang, and the county brigade watched the east, so it tightly surrounded Dawuzhuang. The guard battalion of the Han Bank was in reserve.

The local armed forces in the townships and villages also actively cooperated, patrolling and setting up sentry posts, monitoring the enemy in various strongholds, and transporting supplies and the wounded. Even the people of the nearby villages were mobilized, carrying stretchers and boiling water, ready in the rear, and immediately going up to support as soon as the front needed it.

The troops rose at dawn, had a full meal, and then the battalions went into action. The headquarters was built in a large traffic ditch one mile south of Dawuzhuang.

Of course, Liu Zhiyuan is the commander-in-chief, Han Xing is by his side, and Zhang Xiaosan is not far from Han Xing. Not far away, there is a guard battalion on standby.

The battle situation in front can be seen without a telescope, and if you use a telescope, the soldiers' eyebrows and eyes can be seen clearly.

As soon as the battle began, the 3rd Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, and the heavy machine guns of the Guard Battalion suppressed the enemy's fire with absolutely strong firepower. Then a few fighters quietly moved forward and blew up the enemy's deer with some explosives packs. There were some large branches lying there still, and the warriors tied the deer with ropes, and then quietly retreated.

The warriors in the distance pulled hard with ropes, and the branches of the jujube trees left their original places.

The first obstacle was solved, revealing a large area.

The fighters of these commandos began to place explosive packs on the edge of the blockade ditch again, and there was a loud bang, and the blockade ditch was blown up in many places. The collapsed earth covered some of the blockade ditches, several horse roads were there, and of course the explosives in the blockade ditches were also covered.

The second obstacle has been solved.

The main attacking troops of the 3rd and 2nd Battalions, carrying ladders, quickly advanced to the blockade ditch. Some attacked from the horse road, some lowered the ladder, then went down the blockade ditch, then erected the ladder and climbed up the blockade ditch.

If the troops attack further, it will be more troublesome. The distance between the blockade ditch and the outer wall of the village, which is nearly forty meters, is bare, barely sheltered. The stubborn fire showed its effect, and light machine guns and rifles fired vigorously, blocking the road.

The assault team of the third battalion, holding the explosives bag, rushed forward several times, and the fighters were killed.

Although the covering fire of the third and second battalions was fierce, the three layers of soil on the outer wall were scattered and fell down layer by layer. However, it is really difficult to kill the enemy by shooting bullets through the holes of the gun, so it is still impossible to suppress the bullets fired by the enemy.

Han Xing saw that it would be impossible to suppress the artillery fire, and said to the company commander Li Booth behind him: "Company Commander Li, it's your turn, first use infantry artillery to hit a few holes in it, and let them have a long experience." ”

Libus said yes and was ready to fire.

The Type 92 infantry gun is not heavy, only 0.212 tons, so the assembled small cannon can be dragged forward by a few people. It is also very short at 62 centimeters tall, making it ideal for concealment.

Although it is short and not heavy, it has a very wide shooting range: 90 degrees laterally, and almost 90 degrees in high and low angles. It is also quite powerful, and can fire 70mm high-explosive grenades. The minimum firing range is 100 meters, the maximum is 2788 meters.

Libbs measured a lateral angle of fire and a high and low angle of fire with his thumb, and then adjusted the muzzle of the gun himself, and then the loader loaded the shell, and as soon as the gun rope was pulled, a black projectile flew towards the outer wall of Dawuzhuang.

With a bang, the outer wall was blown up at once, flashing a ball of fire, and several pseudo-stubborn bodies were also thrown into the air, and after the firelight flashed, a thick cloud of black smoke rose up.

A gap more than a meter wide in the outer wall was revealed.

The 92nd infantry artillery fired a few more shots, one cannon and one big hole, some of the puppets were killed, and some of the puppets were frightened and retreated.

The 3rd and 2nd Battalions charged and occupied a large area of the outer wall south of the village.

Now that the outer wall is occupied, the next step is to attack the village. The third and second battalions were moved to the base of the outer wall, and Liu Zhiyuan's headquarters was also moved.

The commander of the third battalion and the commander of the second battalion both came over and said to Liu Zhiyuan: "Commander Liu, it is dangerous here, it is better to stay away." ”
