The Japanese artillery towers are generally built with bricks, three-way soil and wood and other materials, and the devils make the turret strong and not easy to be destroyed, when repairing the turret and laying bricks, they frantically sweep the surrounding villages and loot the millet of the people's homes.

The millet was boiled in a cauldron until it was thin enough to be used for bricklaying, so that the turret was so strong that it was difficult for machine guns and grenadiers to destroy. Even if he rushed to detonate it with an explosive pack, it would be difficult for the turret to collapse.

Yin Junliang, the acting battalion commander of the 14th Battalion of the 54th Regiment, who served as the commander of the destruction of the Majiadu Artillery Tower, said to the deputy regiment commander Fang Shichao with anxiety: "Deputy Commander Fang, this is the first time that the 14th Battalion of the 54th Regiment has taken on the task of attacking the Japanese artillery tower. ”

"Acting battalion commander Yin, although I have learned the subject of holding and storming the turret in the textbook of the German military academy, I have not participated in actual combat and have no experience in storming the turret.

In particular, the turret built by the Japanese army is very strong, surrounded by gun holes that can be used for firepower counterattack, and the upper part of the turret is used as a watchtower to monitor the perimeter, but there are not many Japanese soldiers in the turret under normal circumstances, most of them are puppet troops, but if they really attack, once the attack is blocked, it will cause great casualties to the troops.

In order to reduce the casualties of the troops during the attack, it is necessary to use the combat means of outwitting to find the weak points and dead spots of the turrets first, and then launch an attack on the turrets. ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Fang, doesn't our 54th Regiment still have a mortar and grenadier company? Put on mortars and grenadiers to bombard this devil's turret a few times, and the little devil's turret will definitely be blown up into the sky, how happy is this? ”

"You think too simply, Yin Dai Battalion Commander, artillery shells are very precious to the troops, and mortars and grenadiers cannot be used unless absolutely necessary."

"Could it be that a cannonball is more precious than a soldier's life?"

"It cannot be said that the life of a soldier is more precious than anything else, and in large battles, although weapons cannot play a decisive role, mortars come in handy when the troops are in extreme danger and the enemy attacks or attacks the enemy and needs artillery support.

If there is no artillery support, more brothers will be sacrificed, and our mortar company has limited shells, and it cannot be mass-produced like growing crops, and the shells are not replenished, and the mortars become a pile of scrap metal, so they cannot be easily ....... ”

"According to you, cannonballs are sometimes more precious than a soldier's life, right?"

"I, I don't understand with you, the regiment does not use mortars to destroy the Japanese artillery tower, there must be his foresight, and he will immediately launch an attack on the Majiadu artillery tower, and you will personally command me to cooperate with you."

Acting Battalion Commander Yin grabbed Fang Shichao's hand and said, "Deputy Commander Fang, I haven't fought such a battle to pull out the enemy's turret, or you will command, right?" ”

"Lao Yin, don't you Shaanxi Leng Wa of the 54th Regiment look down on us little white-faced military commanders? Now that you are so modest, do you recognize that a few of us are fully competent to serve as the commander of the 54th Regiment? ”

"It's not recognition, through these battles with the Japanese army, the officers and men of the 54th Regiment admire the command ability of Colonel Lei of our regiment very much, as long as they follow him to kill devils, they can achieve good results, we can't accept it if we want to."

"Okay, don't brag, it's up to you to propose an offensive plan and I'll check it for you, because the command of the regiment, battalion, and company of the 54th Regiment will be handed over to you sooner or later."

Yin Junliang, acting battalion commander of the 14th battalion, saw that Fang Shichao said sincerely, not wanting to see his jokes, not only became bold.

Majiadu Turret was built in the landlord's spacious manor, since the turret began to be built, the Japanese army for the safety of the turret, on the manor outside the outer wall of two meters to dig a trench one zhang two, two zhang wide.

Put barbed wire on the outer shelf of the trench, and hang the canned food boxes diagonally at intervals of the barbed wire, and put a few stones in the cans, as long as someone touches the barbed wire, pulls the canned food boxes hanging on it, and the small pebbles in the canned food boxes roll back and forth, it will make a sound, especially at night, this sound is extremely deafening.

Due to the continuous rain for more than half a month, the water in the trench was very deep, and the water surface was less than 1.5 meters from the edge of the ditch. If the water surface is closer to the edge of the ditch, you can wade to the opposite side of the ditch and climb directly to the edge of the ditch to approach the outer wall of the turret.

At this time, the water surface is about one and a half meters away from the edge of the ditch, and it is impossible to climb the edge of the ditch by falling down and sticking to the slippery ditch.

In order to quickly approach the outer wall of the turret through the trench, there is only one drawbridge that usually goes in and out and lifts and lowers.

For the safety of the Majiadu Artillery Tower, the Japanese puppet army generally put away the suspension bridge at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was very difficult to enter and exit.

Lei Yunfeng sent someone to catch these two tongues, which were sentries standing guard outside the drawbridge, which was also the Japanese army Cao Chang specially placed two puppet army sentries outside the drawbridge for safety, the purpose of which was to be on the watchtower of the turret, which could be monitored at any time.

Once the sentry outside the drawbridge is found to be in trouble, the lookout post will immediately report to the Japanese commander Cao, who will order the Japanese puppet army to enter the armed alert above and below the turret.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers standing on the watchtower and watching, secretly drank a few sips of wine before the change of guard, and they couldn't open their eyes until midnight, and squatted on the ground with their guns in their arms, and they slept loudly.

Seeing that the time was about to arrive to launch a strong attack on the Japanese Majiadu Artillery Tower, the battalion commander Yin Dai ordered the 14th Battalion armed plainclothes team to start moving, stealthily approaching the drawbridge in and out of the turret, and trying to lower the drawbridge by all means.

As long as the drawbridge can be lowered and the troops occupy the drawbridge, the troops will rush in through the drawbridge across the trench and launch a fire siege on the Japanese puppet army.

When approaching the drawbridge, the sentry on duty inside the drawbridge walked out of the gate of the compound and stood outside the door to pee, and saw that the two sentries standing guard outside the drawbridge were gone.

Frightened, this guy grabbed his pants and ran inside the gate, shouting as he ran: "The two pillars and the fool standing guard outside the trench drawbridge are missing, there must be something wrong with these two bastards, report to the imperial army quickly." ”

The armed plainclothes team of the 14th Battalion had just touched the vicinity of the drawbridge when they suddenly heard a puppet soldier in the trench like stepping on the tail of a snake, jumping in fright and screaming loudly while running.

The armed plainclothes captain grabbed a captured tongue with one hand and whispered a few words, and the two captured puppet army sentries suddenly stood up and shouted with guns: "Monkey, what are you talking about in the middle of the night?" ”

The monkey who was fleeing into the gate heard the sound of a fool coming from outside the trench, stopped and scolded: "Bastard, you damn fool, just now I saw that there was no one at the sentry post outside the trench, where did you and Erzhuzi die just now?" ”

"Monkey, you kid is sitting and lying in the gate and no one can see it, you can be as comfortable as you want, we have been standing outside the trench with back pain and no place to lean, just squatted down and stole a little lazy, just listen to you bastard yelling, what do you mean, is it a change of way to report to Taijun, right?

"Get out, get out, is my Hou San that kind of person? Besides, we are all close to each other, my aunt is your stupid mother, and Erzhuzi's mother is my aunt, no matter how bad I am, I won't be bad enough to betray my brother, right? ”

"Since you still remember that we are relatives and brothers, then put down the drawbridge and ask the two of us to go in and prepare for the shift, monkey, you should hurry up and put the drawbridge down."
