In the wilderness less than twenty kilometers away from Fuping County, a gun tower stands next to the road, and there are five or six dark forts around it!

The middle of the bunker is connected by a wall, and a shooting hole is built every few meters!

The turret stood behind several dark bunkers, three floors nearly ten meters high, and there were shooting holes all over it!

On the roof of the turret, there is a huge searchlight!

Thick lampposts strafe back and forth outside the stronghold to prevent anyone from approaching the stronghold!

More than a dozen large and small barracks were built behind the turret, and more than 200 puppet troops slept in them!

In addition, the devils also dug a circle of trenches around the stronghold, which was more than two meters wide and one and a half meters deep.

Although there is no water filling inside, it is still difficult to cross it easily!

Add to that the crossfire from the bunker and the turret, and it's even more impossible to get past the trench!

The nearby Eighth Route Army tried to pull out this turret more than once, and finally lost in front of the strong fortifications!

Today, the Eighth Route Army is here again, and a regiment directly comes up, wanting to gnaw this hard bone in one go!

"Regiment commander, our regiment only has six small steel cannons, each with less than twenty shells, and it can only leave a white spot on the pillbox, which has no effect at all, I am afraid that tonight's attack will be in vain!" From the moment the chief of staff received the order to attack, his wrinkled brows never loosened!

Now when I see the stronghold, the tragic picture of the last attack on the stronghold suddenly comes to my mind!

The worried expression on his face is getting thicker and thicker!

The political commissar squatted next to him and didn't speak, but the worry on his face had already revealed his inner thoughts!

There is no doubt that he is not optimistic about the next attack either!

The head of the regiment actually has no confidence in his heart!

Although there was an extra battalion tonight than last time, there was no siege artillery, and no matter how many soldiers there were, they were all targets in front of the pillboxes and turrets!

But the orders of the superiors must be carried out!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the dozens of fighters not far away!

That's reinforcements sent by the military division!

The regiment commander only knew that they were artillerymen, but did not see the artillery, only three coarse gasoline barrels and a dozen bags of explosives!

But the commander had an order to make sure that he cooperated with them, and after this battle, all the gasoline barrels they brought were equipped with themselves!

At this time, the regiment commander could only pin his hopes on dozens of gunners, hoping that the commander's order was not wrong!

Put down the binoculars, pull out the box cannon, and order with a serious face: "Start attacking!" ”

"Advance the offensive position to a hundred meters outside the stronghold as planned, and then dig trenches!"

"All light and heavy machine guns in the whole regiment are fired, covering the troops to rush forward and dig trenches!"

"Artillery ready to shoot!"

"When the attacking troops dig and consume, the devil artillery will definitely counterattack, find them for me, and kill them!"

"Take half of the artillery to cover the attacking troops to dig trenches, and save the remaining half of the artillery shells for the attack!"

"Tell all the battalion and company commanders, take out my family background for this battle tonight, and greet all the devils, Lao Tzu can't do it!"

"Bang ......"

The sound of rifle shooting breaks the silence of the night!

When the gun rang out, the searchlight on the roof of the turret went out!

More than a hundred fighters, carrying guns on their backs and sapper shovels, got out of the bushes and began to rush towards the turret!

The devil reacted quickly, machine guns, rifles, and soon fought, and the flares also rose into the air and exploded within half a minute, illuminating the battlefield as if it were daylight!

The figures of more than a hundred fighters were exposed at once!

"Light and heavy machine guns fire immediately to cover the attacking troops!" The regiment commander clenched the box cannon and ordered with a heartache on his face!

The devil's firepower is too fierce, and it's hidden in the turret and the bunker!

Although the nearly 20 light and heavy machine guns of the whole regiment only divided nearly half of the blocking fire from the stronghold, the remaining half of the firepower still caused huge casualties to the attacking troops!

When there were still more than 100 meters from the stronghold, more than half of the attacking troops had already suffered casualties, and at least sixty soldiers fell on the offensive road!

At this distance, the counterattack firepower of the stronghold can be regarded as truly exerting its power!

If you continue to assault forward, at most thirty meters, the remaining dozens of people in the attacking force will die cleanly, and they will not even touch the trench!

This is how the first two offensives of the troops ended.

This time it was different, more than sixty soldiers threw themselves on the ground one after another, holding sapper shovels in one hand, digging hard in front of their heads, and then piling them in the direction of the stronghold!

In the process, people were constantly killed, but as long as the soldiers were alive, they were desperately digging in the earth.

Soon, a small mound and a small pit appeared in front of everyone!

Climb behind the mound and, under its cover, continue to expand the pit!

"Commander, it's done!"

The chief of staff's clenched fist slowly relaxed, and shouted with a long sigh of relief!

But the worry on his face did not dissipate, although the trench was dug and completed, he still had no hope and was worried about the next attack!

"One more company!" The regimental commander ordered very seriously!

"We will not only smash offensive positions tonight, but also dig communication trenches!"

After using up two-thirds of the ammunition and one-half of the artillery shells of the whole regiment, and also suffering nearly one hundred and fifty casualties, the offensive position was finally dug up!

Dozens of gunners carried gasoline drums and quickly entered the position!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The explosion soon sounded on the battlefield, and the three explosive packets were instantly pushed out of the gasoline barrel by the flames, tumbling and flying towards the devil's stronghold!

Under the cover of night, the regiment commander did not see very clearly!

But soon, the whole face was covered with a shocked expression!

Three flames rose into the sky in the Japanese stronghold, mixed with a large amount of black smoke, and the ground under their feet began to tremble in the explosion!

"What kind of weapon is this? So powerful? The chief of staff was also frightened and dumbfounded!

The regiment leader's reaction was faster, and his face was covered with surprise after the shock!

The explosion made him see the hope of taking the stronghold, and shouted: "The devils in the stronghold are messed up!" ”

"The artillery will open fire immediately, shoot all the shells into the stronghold, and kill one more devil!"

"The second battalion is ready to attack!"

"Hear the whole Charge attack, rush up together, and kill the little devils of the dog day!"

"Boom ......"

The second round of three explosions quickly reached the ears of the regiment commander, and the remaining shells of the mortar were quickly exhausted.

The regiment commander no longer hesitated, and decisively ordered: "The trumpeter blows the charge trumpet and starts attacking!" ”

"The third battalion is also ready to attack, and the second battalion will attack together when it opens a breakthrough!"

The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan woke up the commander who was sleeping by knocking on the door, and then saw the chief of staff rushing in in a hurry!

"Sir, something is wrong!"

"The Eighth Route Army is crazy, the whole of Shanxi has become a pot of porridge, and there are wars everywhere!"

The commander sat up and scolded: "What a panic! ”

"What the hell is going on, tell me clearly!"

"Hey!" The chief of staff hastened to report!

"In the first half of the night, we received a report from the southeast of Jin that more than a dozen of their strongholds were suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

"I didn't pay attention to them at the time, and I took them as a general sneak attack!"

"But I didn't expect that only two hours later, the southeast of Jin was in chaos, at least thirty strongholds were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and several strongholds have lost contact!"

"Then Jinzhong, Jindong, all sent telegrams, and they were also attacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

"And the Eighth Route Army is also equipped with a large number of heavy artillery, which is extremely powerful!"

"Flying Thunder Cannon!"

These three words instantly appeared in the commander's mind, and he immediately denied it: "Where is there any heavy artillery in the Eighth Route Army, it is obviously a flying thunder cannon!" ”

"Didn't the military department already issue information about the flying thunder cannon? There are so many weaknesses of the Flying Thunder Cannon, as long as you are ready, you can easily destroy it, how can it still be beaten like this! ”

The chief of staff replied helplessly: "I know the weakness, but our troops are too scattered, and they were caught off guard!" The troops were devastated before they could strike back! ”

"Now the various departments have begun to adjust their combat plans and look for opportunities to counterattack, but our losses tonight will definitely not be small, sir, you must be mentally prepared!"
