Chapter 323: The Attack Doesn't Go Well

"How's the battle going on the front?" In the front-line headquarters, Mr. Peng asked.

The expressions of the division commander and others were a little solemn, and it was good to launch an attack in the night, but because the Okazaki brigade had built enough strong fortifications, the attack of the front-line soldiers was not smooth. The biggest victory on the front line was that the artillery team of the 386 Brigade successfully killed the mountain artillery squadron of the devils!

The devil does not have a mountain artillery squadron, and it can be much easier when attacking on the front line. But even so, the fighters suffered a lot of casualties during the attack. In particular, the devils occupied the caves where the villagers lived on the slope in front of Guanjiayuan, and the machine gun positions erected after opening up the various caves made it difficult for the soldiers to kill the devils stationed in the caves.

"The attack on the front line was not smooth, and the devils opened the caves where the villagers lived one by one, and arranged machine gun positions in them, and the fire was fierce, and it was difficult for the soldiers to solve them." The division commander spoke.

The faces of everyone present were not very good-looking, and the troops of the two regiments could not successfully capture the cave defended by the devils, which was undoubtedly a bit embarrassing! And it is also very difficult for the soldiers to attack the devils in the cave with grenades, the devils are very smart, and a bulletproof trench is arranged in front of the machine gun position arranged in the cave, unless the grenade directly hits the devil's machine gun position, otherwise the grenade falls in the bulletproof trench, and it is difficult to kill the devil's machine gun directly.

"The offense doesn't go well! Fight too! Isn't the mountain artillery brought by the 386 Brigade still there? Use these mountain cannons to blast the cave occupied by the devil directly for me! Mr. Peng looked at the brigade commander, his face was full of murderous energy! Mr. Peng walked out of the front-line headquarters and could see that the front-line soldiers were constantly launching charges again and again!

It's just that this time and again, the charge is always repelled by the fierce firepower of the devil, but even so, the soldiers did not stop charging!

"Yes! I immediately gave the artillery an order to kill the devils who occupied the cave! The brigade commander said seriously.

Mr. Peng nodded, "At the same time, I ordered the soldiers to hurry up the attack on Liushuyuan, so as not to let the devils form crossfirepower and affect our attack on Guanjiayuan!" If necessary, the artillery team of the 386 brigade can be used for artillery support! ”

The willow wall is on the opposite side of Guanjiayuan, and the fighting, the crossfire formed by the willow wall and the devils on the Guanjiayuan completely blocked the path to Guanjiayuan. If you don't attack from this path, there are fortifications built by devils in other directions, and it will undoubtedly be more difficult to kill the devils' fortifications.

"Boss, I'm afraid not, I didn't bring many shells this time, only about fifty rounds. If you want to kill the cave occupied by the devils, the remaining cannonballs are a little impossible and insufficient, and there will be no extra cannonballs to cooperate with the soldiers to attack the willow wall. Looking at Mr. Peng's somewhat unsightly face, the brigade commander said with a wry smile.

Mr. Peng frowned, he didn't expect this to happen, yes, in order to be able to get to Panlong Town in time, even if the 386 Brigade is not too far away, it can't slack off too much supplies and ammunition. Mr. Peng shook his head and looked at the division commander and the others, wanting to know if they had extra shells in their hands.

"Boss, this time we didn't come with artillery shells for mountain artillery, and you also know that in order to be able to get here in time, all the troops are light and simple, and they don't carry any heavy weapons." The division commander said helplessly. Who would have thought that the 386 Brigade would bring mountain artillery? If they had known about it, they would have come with enough shells.

"If you don't have enough shells, there's no way, in that case, let's kill the cave occupied by the devils first! I can see that if I don't kill the cave occupied by the devils, the casualties of the soldiers will be greater. Mr. Peng said in a deep voice.

Soon, the corresponding order was conveyed to the artillery team, and the fighters received the order and quickly got into action! According to the information fed back from the front, they quickly calculated the location of the cave occupied by the devils, as well as the corresponding distance. Instead of an artillery battle with the devil's mountain artillery squadron, the fighters naturally had enough time to prepare.

Twenty minutes later, the artillery soldiers were well prepared and accurate, and it was enough to use mountain artillery to deal with the cave occupied by the devils. Caves that have not been specially reinforced can be destroyed directly with up to three shells!

"Fire! Put! "The artillery fighters commanded the opening of the artillery! Suddenly, the shells flew directly out of the chamber, bringing out a bright fire!

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The cannonball fell with a bang, accurately hitting the cave occupied by the devil, and even said that a cannonball flew directly into the devil's cave with precision. A loud explosion sounded in the cave, and compared to the ordinary sound of cannonballs, it seemed a little dull! The devils who were defending in the cave, in the face of such a six-kilogram shell, had no time to flee at all.

The devil's machine gun position in the cave could not withstand the power of the shells and was directly destroyed by the shells, and in the face of the artillery team of the Eighth Route Army, the devils decisively chose to hide. As for the devils who defend in the caves, they can only choose to hide in the dug trenches, hoping to get away with the shells of the Eighth Route Army, and as for being directly hit, then it can only show that they are unlucky.

The devils know very well that they can't give up the machine gun positions arranged in the cave, once they retreat and are seen by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and then occupied by the Eighth Route Army, then it will undoubtedly be more difficult for them to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army troops! With the machine gun position in the cave, the Okazaki brigade can hold out for a while longer, and without the cave, the Eighth Route Army may be able to attack the top of Guanjiayuan today.

"Run out of shells!"

"I'm here too!"

“……”

Twenty shells were used up quickly, and when the shells were used up, they couldn't destroy all the caves occupied by the devils! But even so, the fighters have become much easier in the attack, and with the help of mortars, it is difficult for the devils who defend in the cave to defend for too long. In order to help the troops destroy the defense of the devils, the soldiers of the artillery team have all gone to the front line to control the mortars they carry, and with their artillery skills, they can undoubtedly better exert the power of mortars!

The brigade commander has a bit of a headache for these artillery soldiers to go to the front line to participate in the battle, and now there are only so many artillery soldiers at the brigade headquarters, and once they are killed or wounded on the front line, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to get a supplement. But in the face of these fighters who strongly demanded to go to the front line, the brigade commander had no way to stop them, and could only hope that these soldiers would not suffer any casualties.

Considering that this battle would not end in a short time, and the five mountain guns would not have any effect if they were left without shells, the brigade commander directly ordered the soldiers to bring the mountain artillery back to the brigade headquarters to avoid being killed by the devils.
