Chapter 570: The attack is thwarted
Gao Chu stepped on the Qingniuling in the night and began the second outpost inspection trip. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As the battalion commander of the fortress garrison battalion, Gao Chu's vigilance is definitely enough, he has to check the sentry three times in one night, once after dinner, once before going to bed in the morning, and once before dawn, the summer days are long and the nights are short, so Gao Chu's sleep time is less than four hours a day.
The task is tight, and there is no time to even make love with his daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, Chu Chu is an empathetic little daughter-in-law and has no complaints about this.
At the same time that the ring barricade at the gate of Shaqiaogang Fortress was attacked, Gao Chu also walked under the hundred-year-old cypress tree on the top of the mountain, and then coughed lightly.
After waiting for a while, there was no response on the branch of the cypress tree, and Gao Chu coughed heavily.
Bizarrely, after this heavy cough, there was still no response on the branches of the cypress.
As a veteran, Gao Chu immediately sniffed a strange breath from the boundless silence, and immediately took out the Browning pistol from the holster at his waist, and then tiptoed to the back of this big cypress tree, behind which there was a hole in the tree, which was large enough for one person to enter and exit.
Gao Chu had planned to go in from the tree hole to take a look.
But when he got to the hole in the tree, he found that it was completely unnecessary.
Because Gao Chu had just walked outside the tree hole, he smelled a strong smell of blood in his nose, and then he shone a flashlight into the tree hole, and immediately saw a corpse.
This corpse was none other than the sentinel who had been lurking here before.
Gao Chu's scalp exploded at once, the enemy attacked, and a devil infiltrated in!
At that moment, Gao Chu turned around and rushed to the edge of the cliff, and fired three shots in the direction of the fortress.
At this time, the entire Meizhen and the Shaqiaogang Fortress outside the town were immersed in the silence of midnight in summer, and the three gunshots of Gao Chu shattered the silence of the night at once.
In an instant, the officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion of Shaqiaogang Fortress and the county brigade stationed in the town were alarmed, and the two barracks immediately began to churn.
(Dividing Line)
The entrance to the Shaqiaogang Fortress.
Takeo Yamagami had just moved the bodies of the three Chinese soldiers to the side to hide them, and was about to ask the follow-up special combat team members to change into the military uniforms of the independent regiment and pretend to be sentinels, when three sudden gunshots rang out on the cliff of Qingniuling on the right.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, there was an immediate commotion in the fortress ahead, and the lights immediately lit up in the three main pillboxes and the nearby barracks that had been turned off and slept, and in less than a moment, there were already scattered Chinese soldiers in the fortress that originally looked empty.
Looking at this posture, it is simply impossible to enter the fortress without knowing it.
For the sake of today's plan, I can only attack!
Takeo Yamagami immediately turned around and made a move, and more than twenty black shadows immediately appeared in the shadows behind him, all of whom were armed with German-made MP-36 submachine guns, and as soon as they appeared, they opened fire fiercely at the fortress in front.
The first to rush out of the fortress was the garrison squad that was supposed to be guarding behind the ring barricade, but before he could understand what was going on, he was knocked to the ground by the dense fire of the devils.
After overthrowing the dozen or so Chinese soldiers, Takeo Yamagami drove straight in with the leader of the first team of the 3rd team, and went straight to the three main pillboxes of the Shaqiaogang fortress.
The more than 200 devil special forces of the Okahara Brigade are all carefully selected by Kokahara Junsi from more than a dozen field divisions and regiments belonging to the Central China Dispatch Army, whether it is reaction, speed, strength, fighting or marksmanship, all of them are good at one top, plus they are equipped with German-made MP-36 submachine guns, and they have an overwhelming advantage over the fortress garrison battalion in terms of firepower, so at the beginning, the offensive was simply a sharp knife cutting tofu, invincible.
In less than a moment, Takeo Yamagami's battle team had broken through several fortifications of the fortress garrison in succession, and was about to break through the three main pillboxes.
But these three main bunkers are also military camps, and there are thousands of officers and soldiers of the garrison camp living in them!
If the defenders were not alarmed, let the battle team of Takeo Yamagami successfully infiltrate the main bunker, with their skills, more than 20 devil special forces with their skilled combat skills and excellent military literacy are enough to inflict heavy damage on the fortress garrison, and it is also possible to completely annihilate the fortress garrison battalion.
But as soon as the fortress garrison was alarmed, the situation immediately changed dramatically.
Before Takeo Yamagami's battle group rushed to the front, the officers and men of the garrison battalion in the three main pillboxes preemptively reacted and counterattacked, and when they saw the officers and men of the garrison battalion counterattacking, more than 20 devil special forces immediately scattered in all directions, each occupying a favorable position, and quickly formed a tight crossfire.
Under the cover of the dense crossfire of the group on the hill, the officers and men of the garrison battalion fell one by one.
The officers and soldiers of the fortress garrison battalion kept rushing out of the bunker, and they were constantly stacked to the ground by the combat team of the warrior on the mountain, this was not a level of battle at all, the devil's marksmanship was too accurate, and the firepower was even more ferocious, only a moment later, the open space outside the bunker was already full of corpses of the soldiers of the garrison battalion.
However, at this time, the officers and soldiers of the fortress garrison battalion had also realized the huge gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, and no longer blindly rushed out, but relied on the strong pillboxes to launch fierce firefights with the battle group of Takeo on the mountain.
After a moment of stalemate, Takeo Yamagami's battle group was in danger.
Because this is a special operation deep behind enemy lines, they cannot get supplies from the rear, and the ammunition they can carry is very limited, after more than five minutes of heavy firefighting, they have little ammunition left, after all, they are equipped with MP-36 Charger.
"Team leader, I only have one magazine left!"
"Team leader, I only have two magazines left!"
"Team leader, if this continues, our ammunition reserves won't last long."
"Yaga!" Takeo on the mountain looked at the main bunker close at hand, his face showed a violent struggle, one step, only one step, if it weren't for the three gunshots just now, they would have quietly touched the main bunker now, in that case, the next situation would be completely under their control, but now, it was a failure.
Although he was unwilling, the warrior man on the mountain understood that if he continued to attack, not only would it be impossible to enter the main bunker, but he would give all the more than 20 of them here.
At that moment, the martial man on the mountain gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order, alternate cover, withdraw from the battle!" ā
The first group of Takeo Yamagami fell short at the Shaqiaogang fortress, and the second group did not go well in the raid on the heavy artillery position, they were stubbornly resisted by the infantry company and the heavy machine gun company belonging to the Niu Dazhuang Heavy Artillery Brigade, and after five minutes of fierce attack, they were never able to break through the fortifications at the entrance to the tunnel.
Even the fortifications at the entrance of the tunnel could not be breached, let alone through the tunnel and destroy the heavy artillery position on the other side of the mountain, and seeing that there was little ammunition left with him, the leader of the second team, Tanigawa Yuzo, could only order a retreat.
All of this is due to Gao Chu.
If Gao Chu hadn't fired a warning shot in time, if the first and second teams of the 3rd team had successfully infiltrated the mountain-piercing tunnels of the main pillbox and heavy artillery positions of the fortress, then the main pillbox of the Shaqiaogang fortress and the heavy artillery positions on the cliff would have been lost.
In addition to the first and second groups, there is also a third group.
After unknowingly crossing the Qingniu Ridge, the 3rd team of the Okahara Brigade was divided into three, Yamagami Takeo led the first team to raid the fortress position, Tanigawa Kozo led the second team to raid the heavy artillery position, and the captain of the 3rd team, Abe Tsuyoshi, personally led the third team to raid the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment.
Compared with the first group and the second group, Abe's third group is progressing smoothly.
First, because at this time, the main force of the independent regiment was all out, and the defense of the regimental headquarters had become very empty, and secondly, the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment did not have any decent fortifications.
Although the left-behind guard platoon of the regimental headquarters put up stubborn resistance, this level of resistance was not enough to crush the rapid attack of the devil special forces, and in a short time, Abe's resolute combat team had already controlled almost the entire regimental headquarters, and the remaining personnel of the guard platoon retreated to the compound of the troops to make the last resistance.
When Takeo Yamagami and Yuzo Tanigawa led the 1st and 2nd Sentai to join Abe Tsuyoshi, Abe had just searched the entire regimental headquarters of the Independent Regiment, but he did not find the wing flag of the 10th Infantry Wing.
Finding and bringing back the flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment was one of the main tasks of the 3rd Sentai Brigade.
Knowing that the two battle teams of Takeo Yamagami and Kozo Tanigawa all failed in the attack, as the captain of the third team, Abe Gangyi was so angry that he scolded.
However, after the scolding, Abe's fortitude strengthened his belief in finding the flag of the 10th Infantry Wing.
In any case, this sortie must be successful, and it must not be left empty-handed, if not, how should I explain it to His Royal Highness Higashikurehiko?
At that moment, Abe resolutely set his sights on the army compound at the rear of the regiment headquarters.
In his heart, Abe was still an upright samurai, and he was extremely shameful and disdainful of such extreme acts as killing women and children and killing the families of soldiers, but now, he had to do something he was not willing to do, because only the families of these soldiers could know the whereabouts of the flag of the 10th Infantry Wing.
"Command." Abe Resolute turned his gaze to Takeo Yamagami and ordered with an expressionless face, "The first battle team, immediately take control of the family courtyard behind it, and gather everyone here, hoping that they can tell me the answer I want to know." ā
"Hello." Takeo Yamagami paused and went with the first group.
Within moments, intermittent gunfire rang out in the troop compound.
