Chapter 700: The Attack Is Blocked
The 14th Battalion of the 54th Regiment rushed across the suspension bridge under the leadership of the battalion commander Yin Dai under the leadership of the battalion commander Yin Dai and bravely entered the Majiadu Artillery Tower.
When fierce gunfire came from outside the drawbridge, the company commander of the puppet army stationed in the outer courtyard of the Majiadu Artillery Tower immediately ordered the puppet army who had escaped from the bed to gather urgently, enter the bunker in front of the barracks as a squad, and prepare firepower to counterattack the attack of the anti-Japanese forces.
When the gate was broken through by the 14th Battalion and the 5th Company and directly entered the compound, the puppet army, which had long been ready for a counterattack, used the bunker to carry out a fire counterattack with the most fierce firepower.
The 5th Company and the armed plainclothes team broke through the gate and rushed to the turret in the inner courtyard without hesitation, and suddenly the left and right sides were hit by the fire of the puppet army in the outer courtyard, and the machine guns of the turret launched a frantic strafing fire on the 14th battalion that rushed to the inner courtyard.
The soldiers of the 5th Company, who were suddenly hit by the fire of the Japanese puppet troops in front and on both sides, were shot one after another and fell down in the middle of rushing to the inner courtyard, causing great casualties.
The battalion commander Yin Dai shouted angrily: "The 5th Company stopped the attack, immediately withdrew from the outer compound, hid in the outer wall and waited for the attack order, and the armed plainclothes team held the gate to block the counterattacking Japanese puppet army." ”
Under the cover of the fire of the armed plainclothes team, the 5th Company quickly withdrew from the compound outside the Majiadu Artillery Tower and hid under the outer walls on both sides of the gate.
The company commander of the puppet army saw that he had repelled the attack of the 14th battalion, and shouted that the puppet army immediately jumped out of the bunker to pursue and kill.
The Japanese soldiers in the turret used the guns set up to give full play to the firepower of the two light machine guns, and opened fire whenever they found a black shadow flashing.
The armed plainclothes team that retreated to the gate to block the pursuit of the puppet army, each member of the team was equipped with a box cannon, a 38 cover, a machete, a dagger and four grenades.
When he found that the puppet army had jumped out of the bunker in front of the dormitory door and chased it out, Captain Kong ordered the team to use the most fierce firepower to eliminate the puppet army that rushed up.
The weapons equipped by the puppet army are very messy and the combat effectiveness is low, and it is okay to use bunkers to block fire.
At this time, the 5th company, which jumped out of pursuit and retreated from the battle and retreated outside the gate, was suddenly counterattacked by the powerful firepower of the armed plainclothes team at the gate, and the puppet army that rushed in front fell one piece, so frightened that the puppet army behind turned around and ran back.
Cao Chang, the Japanese soldier on the turret, regarded the puppet army that turned around and fled backwards as if the 14th Battalion had launched an attack and had occupied the outer courtyard and was about to pounce on the inner courtyard turret, not only shouted in panic: "The forced attack on the inner courtyard of the Tu Eighth Road, the machine gunners increased their firepower and killed all the Tu Eighth Road." ”
The two Japanese machine gunners in the turret, after receiving the order of Cao Chang, shouted the machine guns again and fired fiercely at the puppet troops who turned around and fled back.
The company commander of the puppet army fled back to the bunker in front of the dormitory, and scolded angrily: "My grandmother of X little devil, Lao Tzu worked hard for you and you actually shot my brother with a machine gun, are you still human?" ”
One of the platoon commanders also shouted: "Company Commander Li, let's simply surrender to the attacking Tubalu to surrender and count the ball, and it will be a death sooner or later with the little devil, it is better to surrender the gun and defect in battle, even if we die, we can still leave a good reputation." ”
"Bastard, are you stupid? We are traitors and puppet soldiers for devils, even if we surrender our guns, we can give us a way to live? Ordered the troops to quickly organize a fire blockade, and if the entire bunker was breached, none of us would want to live. ”
The puppet army commander Li Company Commander lay behind the bunker and brandished a pistol and ordered the still alive puppet army to organize firepower to eliminate the armed plainclothes team occupying the gate. 80
The commander of the 14th Battalion, Yin Dai, led the fifth company of the main attack company into the compound outside the running building, and was suddenly hit by the powerful fire of the puppet army of a company in the outer courtyard and the Japanese army of the squad on the turret, and the attacking troops were severely damaged.
He immediately ordered the armed plainclothes team to quickly seize the gate position, and the fire cover the 5th Company to withdraw outside the wall to hide, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.
At this time, the soldiers of the 5th Company launched an attack on the Majiadu Artillery Tower in the first round, but they suffered heavy losses, the troops were reduced by nearly a platoon, and the combat effectiveness of the 5th Company was greatly weakened.
This is the first time that the battalion commander Yin Dai has led the troops to storm the Japanese artillery tower alone, and he has been defeated at this time, and he really hopes that the deputy regiment commander Fang Shichao can help him come up with an idea.
But when Fang Shichao, the deputy head of the regiment, was about to launch a strong attack on the Majiadu Fort, he led the third and fourth companies to advance to Qinshui City according to the deployment of Leiyun Peak, and ambushed a hill 500 meters away from the city.
The task is to ambush the Japanese puppet army that reinforces the Majiadu Artillery Tower from the city, and eliminate the main force of the reinforcement Japanese puppet army as much as possible, so as to reduce the pressure of the enemy who stormed Qinshui City to carry out a counterattack.
Fang Shichao was very worried at this time that the battalion commander Yin Dai led the 5th Company to storm the Majiadu Artillery Tower smoothly, once the attack failed and caused heavy casualties to the troops, it would directly affect the battle of Qinshui City.
Commander Yin Dai withdrew from the battle with the 5th company and hid outside the wall, and heard that the armed plainclothes team who were sticking to the gate and confronting the Japanese puppet army suppressed the enemy's counterattack with the most fierce firepower, and couldn't help but climb to Captain Kong in a panic and watch the firepower deployment of the entire Majiadu Artillery Tower.
He stabilized his nervous mood and found that the people stationed in the outer courtyard of Majiadu were all puppet soldiers, and the inner courtyard and the artillery tower were occupied by a squad of the Japanese army.
In order to launch an attack on the Japanese troops occupying the inner courtyard and the turret, it is necessary to destroy the puppet army in the outer courtyard first, so as to clear the fire blocking on both sides during the attack, and concentrate the main forces and firepower to deal with the counterattack of the Japanese army in one squad.
According to the two puppet army sentries caught at that time, the two pillars of the tongue and the fool confessed that the outer courtyard wall of the Majiadu Artillery Tower was equipped with gun holes, but they were very hidden in normal times, and only opened the gun holes when they were used.
In order to find the gun hole hidden in the wall, Yin Junliang, acting battalion commander, ordered the commander of the 5th company to immediately send a squad to find the hidden gun hole on the outer wall.
He lay down under the half-section of the wall and covertly observed the positions of the Japanese army's various firepower points, and imagined what method to take to first solve a puppet army company living in the outer courtyard, and only by eliminating the puppet army could the hidden firepower of the periphery be cleared and concentrate firepower to storm the Majiadu artillery tower.
In less than ten minutes, the commander of the 5th company climbed up to Yin Junliang and reported in a low voice: "Acting battalion commander Yin, after a quick search by a squad of soldiers, four hidden gun holes were found on the outer wall, even if the gun holes are found, what use will it be for us to attack the turret?" ”
"You'll know then, and you'll take me to these bullet holes hidden on the outer wall right away."
Yin Junliang said and ordered the squad leader beside him: "Your squad must stick here, once the battle of attacking the turret starts, you are here to attack the nearest position in the inner courtyard of the turret, and immediately launch an attack on the turret after receiving the order." ”
He followed the commander of the 5th company to find the four gun holes hidden in the outer wall, took off the loose ones that were plugged in the gun holes, turned his head, looked at the courtyard through the gun holes, and saw the deployment of the puppet army's troops in the outer courtyard and the simple fortifications built very clearly.
"Great, as long as we make good use of these four gun holes, our destruction of the turret will not only reduce casualties, but also have hope of victory." Acting Battalion Commander Yin said excitedly.
