Chapter 680: Deadly Attack (First Update!) )
Just when he hesitated whether to take the initiative to send someone out to break this deadlock!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The explosion sounded, but not the explosion of the Flying Thunder Cannon that frightened him!
"Sir, it's a mortar! The garrison has not yet withdrawn, they want to cover the attacking troops with mortars to continue the assault! The adjutant exclaimed excitedly!
"The super-large caliber mortars they are equipped with must have been destroyed, otherwise they would not have been left with powerful ones, and ordinary mortars with low power would have been used!"
Fujino Shaoza couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and affirmed the judgment of his subordinates, and ordered very decisively!
"The artillery troops will immediately counterattack, and the front-line troops will be ready for battle, resolutely repel the next attack of the garrison regiment, and then launch a counterattack at any time according to my orders, kill the Eighth Route Army outside, and take revenge!"
"Hey!"
The adjutant hurriedly commanded a lieutenant next to him to give the order!
Then stand at the lookout, hold a telescope like Fujino, and keep an eye on the battlefield!
"Boom ......"
As soon as his gaze swept over, two very dazzling orange-red flames appeared in the adjutant's field of vision, and a dull explosion followed!
This picture is so familiar to him, it is like setting off fireworks!
The powerful super-caliber mortar shells were pushed out of the barrel by these two flames, and then smashed into the stronghold position and exploded!
Looking at the fireball five or six meters high rising in front of him, the adjutant's face turned white again, and he shouted in a lost voice: "Sir, we have been fooled, the super-large caliber heavy artillery equipped by the garrison regiment has not been destroyed by us, and they have been fired again!"
"Boom!"
Before the exclamation was finished, the explosion shook the ground and the mountains rang out!
Fujino Shaosa also fell into shock again, his mouth open, his ears buzzed from the sound of the explosion, and his head was clouded!
But this time his reaction speed was obviously faster than the first time, and he didn't put down the binoculars, and continued to stare at the battlefield, shouting loudly!
"Concentrate all the grenadiers and fight back now!"
"This time, we must destroy the super-large caliber heavy artillery equipped by the garrison regiment no matter what, otherwise we will definitely not be able to hold the stronghold!"
"Boom ......"
The cannon of the subordinates' counterattack had not yet sounded, and the sound of explosions shaking the ground and shaking was heard from the other two directions of the stronghold!
"Bang Bang ......"
The telescope that Fujino held in his hand was directly frightened and fell to the ground!
The first thing that came to mind was the tragic picture of the battlefield after the explosion of the first round of super-large caliber shells!
If such casualties happen again, although there are still five or six hundred people left in the entire stronghold to continue fighting, there will only be more than one squadron left in the pure combat troops that can reach the front line, and there will be no reserves!
I don't even have the strength to fill the gap in the defensive line that the flying thunder cannon has just blown up!
Soon, the battlefield was as completely quiet as it was just now!
Just now, there was still the rumbling of cannons, which was earth-shattering, and in the blink of an eye, there was no sound, and I couldn't even hear a single gunshot!
After the second shelling, Fujino Shaosa is not as optimistic as before!
The artillery counterattack of his subordinates did not destroy the super-large caliber mortars equipped by the garrison regiment, and he was not as confident as he was just now!
I always feel that something makes me uneasy, and it may bring a devastating blow to me at any time!
Soon the adjutant walked in with his head down, and his face was even more embarrassed than after the first shelling!
"Sir, the loss statistics have come out, and they are even bigger than just now!"
"This time, the shells from the Eighth Route Army were even more accurate than just now, all of them hit the position, and they smashed next to the turret and the bunker and exploded!"
"There were nearly 180 direct casualties, 120 killed in battle, and nearly 60 people were seriously injured or stunned, temporarily losing their combat effectiveness!"
"In addition, we no longer have reserves in our hands to replenish the defensive gap on the front line that was blown up by the Eighth Route Army!"
"I request that guard troops, artillery, and baggage troops be transferred to reinforce the battlefield!"
"Plus, send an infantry squad from behind us to reinforce the battlefield!"
Before there is a complete solution to the super-large caliber mortar, Fujino Shaosa can't think of any other way!
With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Just give the order as you say!"
"Also, order the artillery, this time no matter how the mortars equipped by the independent regiment harass and open fire, they can't move, give me concentrated firepower to keep an eye on the offensive positions of the garrison regiment!"
"As soon as the heavy mortars equipped by the garrison regiment have not been destroyed and the battlefield shows up again, do not hesitate to open fire immediately!"
"The reason why our first artillery counterattack was useless was probably because the power of the grenade was too small, and it could only kill and injure part of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and there was no way to destroy the artillery!"
"If a shell hits next to a heavy mortar, even if it can't be completely destroyed, it can be destroyed, and it can't be used for a short time!"
"The chief is wise, and he will give the order in person!" The adjutant hastened to answer!
Just like the experience just now, the silence that made Fujino a little panicked lasted for more than ten minutes before being broken by a string of cannons!
A sneer quickly flashed on Fujino's solemn face!
"This Eighth Route Army is too arrogant, and the way it attacked us three times didn't even change anything!"
"Do they think that the Imperial Army of Japan has been so stupid as to fall on the same issue three times?"
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!
Seeing that there was no change in the way the garrison regiment attacked, Fujino Shaosa was obviously more confident than just now, and gave a decisive order!
"The artillery is not moving, keeping an eye on the offensive positions of the garrison regiment, ready to counterattack at any time!"
"Boom ......"
As soon as the order was issued, the sound of the frightened cannon sounded again!
The moment two flames erupted from the offensive position of the garrison regiment, Fujino Shaosa seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and his eyes lit up and shouted!
"Artillery counterattack, this time destroy these heavy mortars no matter what!"
Soon, the shells of the stronghold's counterattack smashed into the positions of the garrison!
The explosion of dirt and gunpowder smoke instantly enveloped the location where the flames were spewed just now!
Fujino's tense nerves are completely relaxed!
This time, he was absolutely sure that the heavy mortars equipped by the garrison regiment had been destroyed by himself, and at least they could not be used!
"Boom, boom...... Rumble ......"
But before he could rejoice, an explosion from behind blew him up.
The expression on his face was beaten back to his original shape!
Staring at a pair of big eyes, dumbfounded, with a look of shock and despair on his face!
"Sir, we are also being attacked by the Eighth Route Army behind us!" A lieutenant rushed in and shouted with horror on his face!
"They are armed with at least six self-touching mortars!"
"The troops on the position must have suffered heavy casualties, and even the guns of the counterattack are gone!"
"Tick ......"
Before Fujino could react from the shock, the loud trumpet sounded!
"It's over!"
This was the first thing Fujino said after calming down, and his face turned pale. There was no bloodshot at all!
Draw away an infantry squad, and only one reinforced squad is left in the garrison behind you!
They were attacked by six mortars at once, and they didn't even have a chance to resist!
The shell exploded, and the entire reinforcement squad was either killed or wounded, and lost its combat effectiveness in an instant!
The sound of gunfire on the battlefield is the best proof of this!
If the defense line behind is broken through and the Eighth Route Army comes in from behind, then the entire stronghold will be over!
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of machine-gun fire soon rang out, and it was right in Fujino's ears!
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has broken through the defense line behind us and entered the stronghold, just as we are trying to kill us, the guards are blocking it! It's too dangerous here, civilians move right away! The captain of the guard shouted anxiously!
"Transfer? The stronghold is surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, let's move there! Fujino Shaosa shouted in despair!
The adjutant shouted with a hint of reluctance: "We still have artillery, we can use shells to blow up a gap in the offensive position of the garrison regiment, and then protect the captain of the group to break through!"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Order the artillerymen to immediately shift the firing target! All the artillery was aimed at the offensive position of the garrison regiment in front of us, and we concentrated our firepower for five minutes to protect the captain of the group to break through! ”
"Also, immediately send a telegram to the military headquarters that we are under mortar fire from the garrison regiment, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties, and the whole army may be wiped out at any time! We are organizing troops to break through, please send planes to reinforce us as soon as dawn! ”
After saying that, the adjutant shifted his gaze to Fujino!
The captain is still alive, and no matter what the order, he must nod his head before it can be given!
To the disappointment of the adjutant, he waited for half a minute, and Fujino didn't mean to speak!
In the end, he couldn't help but shout: "Sir, give the order quickly!" If we don't give another order, we really won't be able to break through! ”
Fujino opened his mouth and replied with a look of despair: "It's useless!"
"Even if the artillery blows up a gap, we don't have troops to kill!"
"In the attack just now, there were two medium mortar shells in each direction, and the independent battalion was also equipped with a lot of small-caliber mortar shells, such a fierce artillery fire, even if there were still people alive on the position, there was not much left, how to break through?"
"Order the troops to fight to the death!"
"Even if the whole army is destroyed, we will inflict heavy losses on the garrison!"
"Send a telegram to the military headquarters immediately, but not a telegram asking for help, a farewell telegram!"
"We must report to the military headquarters that the garrison regiment is heavily equipped with heavy mortars!"
"With heavy mortars, their combat effectiveness has skyrocketed, and if the imperial army wants to kill them, they must gather more troops and heavy weapons, otherwise they will definitely suffer a big loss!"
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of gunfire kept ringing in his ears, and the telegraph operator kept sending out the telegrams dictated by Fujino!
Outside the central turret of the stronghold, the guard company had all been killed, and it was blocked by several machine guns for more than a hundred meters in the turret, and it was impossible to advance or retreat!
Sun Jiawu, the commander of the guard battalion, was half-squatting on the position, and he was in a hurry, but there was no way!
The turret is made of masonry, and mortar shells hit it except for leaving a white spot, which is useless!
Now the only thing he can rely on is the six flying thunder cannons that are being prepared!
Seeing that there were soldiers around him who were constantly killed by the bullets fired by the devil condescendingly, he couldn't help but urge: "Isn't the flying thunder cannon okay yet?" If you don't fire the guns, the guards will die in a company! ”()
