Chapter 57: Street Fighting
Waiting was anxious, because this stronghold could be attacked by the Eighth Route Army at any time, and then what made him depressed was that the night passed, and the next day's day also passed, and the attack of the Eighth Route Army did not come.
The lazy security army no longer took it seriously with their order to strengthen their vigilance, after all, there was only one platoon of Tubalu around here, and now their stronghold still had the advantage of troops, plus fortifications such as fortresses, theoretically the possibility of the Balu coming to attack was still very low.
Even Eguchi Juncao was a little skeptical that he was overly concerned, and these dirt and eight guts were not as big as he expected.
Late the next night, early morning of the third day to be exact.
Syllable......
Gunfire rang out as promised.
This made Eguchi Juncao's heart suddenly relaxed, he ignored the continuous gunshots outside, calmly picked up the signal gun that had been prepared a long time ago, came to the open space, and fired a shot into the sky.
With a thud, a red flare rose into the night sky, illuminating the dark night.
Taking advantage of the night to advance towards the Shigou stronghold, Zhang Yunfei was a little helpless to let everyone hide and wait, and the signal flare lit up a lot of the vast land, and it was not a good thing to completely expose the troops to the enemy's sight.
Looking at the signal flares as bright as fireworks, Zhang Yunfei had to sigh, the puppet army was really afraid of death, they had just attacked, and they directly sent a distress signal.
However, with Shigou on such a back, the reinforcements should not be able to catch up before dawn, and they have to run like Qi Dajiu like a dead dog, so it is obvious that they do not have this efficiency.
The stronghold is different from the artillery tower, mainly based on barracks buildings, Shigou used to be a place where more than a dozen families lived, but they were driven away by the puppet army, and they built this camp based on the village according to local conditions.
The puppet army also built fortifications such as machine gun bunkers on the periphery, and now the night is illuminated by signal flares, and the body is completely exposed, which is not a good thing.
This time, their first and second platoons attacked on the left and right flanks, and Sun Zhiqiang's third platoon responded in the center to suppress the enemy's firepower points, and now the light of the signal flare disrupted the offensive rhythm.
Da Da ...... Da Da ...... Syllable...... Crackling gunshots rang out from the left.
Zhang Yunfei's side is quiet, Qi Dajiu on the other side is lively, Zhang Yunfei's face is green, this bear thing knows recklessness, can it be that if you advance slowly for a minute and a half seconds, you will die.
This stronghold is well repaired, but fortunately, it is not a devil station, but a puppet army, so it is limited in terms of weapons and equipment compared to the Eighth Route Army. A company only has a light machine gun, and it was taken away by the fleeing puppet army when it was in Wangjia Village, so now only the devil has strengthened a crooked handle for them.
Obviously, that machine gun is now eyeing Qi Dajiu's second platoon, this guy is unlucky enough, the machine gun is actually the most fierce and rushing tactics, you can't raise your head if you can suppress it, and you still rush a yarn.
Of course, it is impossible to sweep a large area, the soldiers are all scattered, and it is impossible to really squeeze together like fools to be a live target for others.
Fortunately, Qi Dajiu's second platoon rushed hard enough to resist the enemy's fierce firepower, and his second platoon was all veterans with combat experience.
If your own platoon really can't resist, now your platoon has less than one-third of the veterans, and the other two-thirds are all recruits who have just learned to shoot but haven't let go of the gun at all.
It is no wonder that such a unit attacks under heavy firepower, and its legs are weak and cannot walk.
Qi Dajiu's reckless man has already launched an attack, and he can't move forward slowly here, or if all the pressure is passed on to them, his small physique in the second row may not be able to resist.
Zhang Yunfei felt that he would always be led into the ditch when he fought with Qi Dajiu, and in the end he would become reckless, Zhang Yunfei reluctantly ordered his platoon to quickly rush into attack the right side of the puppet army's defensive line.
Bang...... Syllable...... Gunfire began to ring out as they approached.
The flickering muzzle flame was accompanied by the discharged bullets, and the strange scream rushed out of the barracks position of the puppet army, and hit the ground next to a row of people with a pop, making the rookies who had never been on the battlefield panic.
"Don't panic, keep your body down." The squad leaders began to comfort the recruits.
Zhang Yunfei did not interfere with the command of the squad leaders, and in terms of combat experience alone, the veterans of the platoon can be said to be the most in the whole regiment, and they can still suppress this scene.
With a bang, Zhang Yunfei in the darkness quickly pulled the bolt, pushed a bullet into the chamber, flattened the rifle, and pulled the trigger without hesitation with the help of the subtle light that flashed.
However, by feeling, this shot should not have hit, and in this vague night, the shooting is entirely by feeling.
The shooting back and forth between the two sides was lively, but there were no casualties, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were not good at marksmanship, and the marksmanship of the puppet army was also not good.
Although the puppet army follows the devils, they still have to raise their own weapons and equipment, the same is not rich, and the same training is insufficient.
With a snap, Zhang Yunfei swung his rifle slightly and fired a shot along the muzzle of the gun again, as if a black shadow had fallen down, and it should have been hit.
Because the 92nd Platoon of Qi Da attracted most of the firepower, and the number of puppet troops in the Shigou stronghold itself was insufficient, the first platoon quickly occupied the first line of positions of the puppet army.
The inside of the Shigou stronghold itself is a village, which was occupied by the Japanese puppet army before it was transformed into a stronghold barracks, many houses were not completely demolished, only the upper part was demolished, and many foundation walls were still there, which became a natural position, and the puppet army used these buildings to fight and retreat, and they started street battles.
For the Eighth Route Army, this was a completely unfamiliar and blank tactic, and the troops began to suffer casualties.
When they attacked on the periphery just now, there were no casualties without any cover, and now that they have attacked, these walls are used as cover but there are casualties.
In this era, if you can accurately hit the target at 150 to 200 meters, that is, a veteran with relatively accurate marksmanship. If you can hit the target from 200 meters away, you can be considered an accurate shooter, and if you can hit a target from 400 meters away, you can currently be considered a special shooter, this kind of person generally only appears in the devil army, and our soldiers rarely have this kind of shooter.
So when you are on the periphery, the distance between the two sides is far, and it is normal to miss the battle, but now the street battle is different, and the puppet army also does not understand what street fighting is, but people are familiar with this place, the distance between the two sides is very close, many times only separated by a few walls, only a few meters away, it is difficult to miss the target at such a close distance, so it is not surprising that the puppet army who is familiar with the terrain has more advantages.
