Chapter 290: The Decisive Battle (First Update!) )
"Sir, cross the mountain pass in front and you'll arrive at the secret camp of the Eighth Route Army......" Cao, a little devil soldier who had been here before, reminded with a palpitating look on his face.
Nakasa Ida was both excited and nervous.
Behind the mountain pass is the secret camp, which means that if you cross the mountain pass, the secret camp will be exposed, and you will be able to eliminate the last anti-Japanese armed force in Lingqiu.
But how to take the mountain pass, he made a difficulty.
The mountain pass in front of him caused the imperial army to sink into the sand twice, and at least two hundred imperial troops died here.
But it didn't last long!
The Eighth Route Army did not have cement, and even if it was a machine gun bunker, it was a pure civil fortification.
The most important reason why the two attacks of the imperial army failed, in addition to underestimating the enemy, was that they did not carry artillery.
Before entering the mountain, he had already taken this into account, so he specially carried six mortars with him.
After raising the binoculars and looking over and over at the place where the mountain pass might have built a dark fort, the confidence that the six mortars had brought to Ida Nakasa slowly disappeared.
In the mountain passes, which are full of thatch and bushes, I did not find any traces of the fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army. As for the machine-gun bunker, there was no trace of it at all.
If you don't hit the target, even if you have a cannon in your hand, it's useless.
Ida Nakasa's brows involuntarily furrowed again.
"Sir, I suggest sending a detachment up to test the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in the mountain pass!" The adjutant standing next to him proposed.
"Heavy machine gun squadrons, artillery squadrons are ready for battle, as soon as their machine gun fire points are exposed, immediately open fire, kill them, cover the retreat of the attacking troops!"
"After the artillery destroys the machine-gun bunker in the mountain pass, we will attack again and strive to take the mountain pass in a surprise attack!"
Ida Nakazo hesitated for a moment and shook his head and replied: "There are too few offensive troops in one detachment!" ”
"If you can't threaten the Eighth Route Army guarding the mountain pass, not only will you not be able to force the machine gun bunker built by the Eighth Route Army in the mountain pass, but you will also be killed!"
"Draw an infantry squad up!"
"Even if the whole army is annihilated, we can withstand casualties without breaking our muscles and bones, and we can cause a certain amount of defensive pressure on the Eighth Route Army, forcing them to use the firepower in the machine gun bunker!"
The adjutant immediately replied: "Arrange it now!" ”
In the dark fort, Zhang Yun, the platoon leader of the garrison, kept his brows twisted.
There were too many Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain, infantry plus artillery, heavy machine gunners, more than 300 people, and all of them were devils.
With two infantry squads and one firepower squad in his own hands, it is impossible to say that there is no pressure.
In particular, seeing that the six mortars were lined up by the devils, and the six heavy machine guns were also lined up on the mountain beam behind the artillery position, the atmosphere in the bunker immediately became oppressive.
Not only Zhang Yun, but more than a dozen subordinates all felt tremendous pressure from those mortars.
"Whirring ......"
After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Zhang Yun stiffened his head and comforted.
"Don't worry, our bunker has been reinforced with cement, and the devil's mortar can't help us."
This sentence is both a comfort for subordinates and a self-comfort.
As soon as he finished speaking, the machine gunner, who was lying on the other firing hole, shouted.
"Platoon commander, the devil is here, it's an infantry squad!"
Zhang Yun's face changed, and he ordered very seriously: "The machine gunner is in position, ready for battle!" ”
Then he crouched behind a firing port and looked out: "This is a tentative attack by the little devil!" ”
"I remember every time I fought with the company commander, the company commander would put the little devils to test the troops closer and then shoot and eat them!"
"We have six machine guns, and we have bunker cover, and there are two infantry squads outside throwing grenades, even if the devils kill us, we are not afraid!"
"Everyone steady, let's put the little devils in the fight, and the machine gunners will shoot again at my orders, try to kill them, or at least hit them hard!"
"Two infantry squads have grenades ready to prevent accidents!"
"Shooting...... Dadada......"
The order to shoot blurted out, and the sound of machine-gun fire followed in the ears, very dense.
The two machine-gun bunkers had six holes, and through the thatch in front of them, six tongues of fire erupted together.
Bullets flew like they flew to the devils thirty or forty meters away, intertwining into an impermeable bullet net.
Although the devil's vigilance was very high, he was still killed and injured more than a dozen people in an instant.
"The tentative troops immediately retreated, heavy machine gun fire covered, and the artillery opened fire to kill the machine gun bunker exposed in the mountain pass~"
"Da Da Da ......"
Six heavy machine guns opened fire quickly, and one heavy machine gun stared at a firing hole.
The shooting hole was too small and the firing distance was so long that it was impossible to shoot a bullet into the shooting hole unless a rifle with a scope was fitted.
Although the heavy machine gun fire is very fierce, in front of the shooting hole, they can only shoot bullets into the shooting hole through the density of fire, like a blind cat hitting a mouse.
So their counterattack did not affect the machine-gun fire in the bunker, and the flying bullets continued to shoot at the devils to test the troops.
Ida Nakasa was very heartbroken.
In the blink of an eye, the tentative attacking force had already suffered more than half of the casualties.
The machine-gun fire hidden by the Eighth Route Army in the bunker still had no intention of stopping, and the bullets fired continued to wreak havoc on the battlefield, harvesting the lives of the imperial army.
"Why haven't the artillerymen opened their guns yet, immediately open their guns, cover the retreat of the attacking troops, and destroy the machine-gun bunker!" Ida Nakasa shouted anxiously.
"It's almost there!" The artillery squadron leader replied loudly.
Then he shouted to the gunners next to the six mortars: "No need to test fire, three rapid shots per gun, fire immediately!" ”
"All for all...... Boom Boom Boom ......"
In the dull sound of mortar fire, six shells burst out of the barrels, flew in less than two seconds, and exploded steadily around the two machine-gun bunkers.
A fireball mixed with black smoke rose into the air, and then the sound of an explosion was heard.
Three mortars were in charge of a bunker, and it took less than twenty seconds for three rounds of eighteen shells to fall around the bunker.
Although there was no test firing, three of the eighteen shells still smashed steadily on the top of the bunker and exploded.
"Immediately correct the firing of Zhu Yuan, five shells per cannon, and continue to fire!" As soon as the shelling stopped, the leader of the devil squadron shouted.
Inside the dark castle, Zhang Yun was very nervous.
Company commander Li Hao said that the bunker reinforced with cement would definitely be able to withstand continuous mortar shelling, but after all, there was no experiment.
So the shelling in front of you was more like a test of the fort of the bunker.
After passing the test, you can use the Dark Fort to continue to fight devils and turn this place into a grave for little devils.
If you don't pass the test, you will definitely be buried in the dark castle, and you will die and turn this place into your own grave!
