Chapter 542: Punched in
At this moment, the heavy machine gun of the second company in the main fort had attracted the pseudo-military firepower in the main fort, and Zhou Tong's hidden position had been discovered. Perhaps sensing that Zhou Tong would become their biggest threat, the puppet machine gunners in the main fort simply did not take care of the second company.
Relying on the cover of the main fort with rough skin and thick flesh, even the 82 mortars could not help it, regardless of the machine gun fire coming from the hill on the right flank, he turned the muzzle of the gun and swept towards Zhou Tong's position. Especially the large-caliber machine gun, which is extremely lethal. One of the fighters was caught off guard when he moved forward, and his body was directly broken in two.
But at this time, Zhou Tong, who was already a little red-eyed, didn't see the firepower coming from the surrounding area. After stable aiming, a 37-mm shell was stuffed into the chamber. After a fierce fire, a 37-mm shell accurately entered the firing hole of the main fort. But to everyone's surprise, the shell did not explode.
The first shell hit accurately but did not explode, but in the end it turned into a dud. Although the puppet army in the bunker was scared into sweat, the puppet army that reacted towards Zhou Tong's position, and the firepower was even more ferocious. Zhou Tong's side was hit by a large-caliber machine gun, and several big trees behind him were interrupted by Qi Brush.
Facing the more ferocious firepower of the puppet army, Zhou Tongquan didn't see it. Without the slightest pause in his hand, he immediately loaded the second shell into the chamber. casually wiped the wound on his head that was cut by a stray bullet, and the blood that flowed down to block the view, constantly correcting the position of the gun.
At this time, the puppet army, which also discovered that Zhou Tong was threatening him, once again concentrated his forces and rushed out of Pingchuan. Under the cover of the mountain artillery that had turned the direction behind him, he quickly rushed towards Zhou Tong's location. This time, the puppet army dispatched a counterattack force of seventy or eighty people, even more than when counterattacking the hill on the right flank.
At the same time, the mortars deployed by the puppet army in the town also opened fire with all their strength to suppress the eight roads on the hill on the right flank. Trying to disintegrate the second company on the hill on the right flank, to support Yamashita Zhoutong. Especially the Jinzao heavy machine gun that happened to intercept the Pingchuan puppet army and charged at Zhou Tong's position, which was personally controlled by the second company commander. It is also the puppet army in Pingchuan Town, and the main suppression target of mortars.
It's just that these puppet army techniques are average, and a lot of shells have been fired, but they have never been able to defeat this flexible and mobile heavy machine gun. After seeing the puppet army in Pingchuan Town rushing out again, the commander of the second company turned the muzzle of the gun and didn't care about the service life of the machine gun, so he swept towards the puppet army that rushed out.
And Zhang Zijian, who was commanding on the mountain at this moment, saw the puppet army rushing out again. didn't care about the machine gun fire of the second company over there, and charged towards Zhou Tong's position under the supervision of the officer. For the warriors around him at this moment, there are very few. There are only a few guns on Zhou Tong's side, and the threat is quite big.
In the case that his eyebrows were already on fire, Zhang Zijian gritted his teeth and ordered the three companies to charge immediately, at least to snatch Zhou Tong down. But just when Zhang Zijian made up his mind, Zhou Tong under the mountain didn't pay attention to the puppet army that was rushing towards him, and gritted his teeth and fired the second shot.
The first shell was a stink bomb, and this shell finally worked. It can almost be said that it was straight, and this shell was fired into the main pillbox in front of Hirakawa from the firing hole. Although it was impossible to destroy the bunker directly, the power of the explosion in the small space also directly blew up the machine gun inside.
Knocked out the machine gun in the main fort, and Zhou Tong, who was worried about the resurgence of fire in the main fort, directly gave the main fort another shell. Two three-seven-caliber shells, even if you can't finish off the main fort. But as long as you can blow up the machine gun inside and kill the machine gunner inside, it is enough.
Two shells completely dumbed down the main fort. Zhou Tongcai pulled out his shell gun, and shot continuously with the only three soldiers left around him at this time, knocking down several puppet soldiers who were about to rush to his side. The machine-gun fire on the hill on the right flank also swept over at the same time, and cooperated with the three companies that had received the order to insert diagonally, and pressed back the puppet troops who rushed out.
Seeing that the crisis was temporarily lifted, Zhou Tong knocked out a slightly smaller fortress behind the main fort with two consecutive shots. But at this time, he no longer had any shells on hand to deal with the two remaining bunkers of the puppet army. Turning his head to look at the soldier who died on the charging road behind him, the lower half of his body had been knocked away by a large-caliber machine gun bullet, but he was still holding the shell box tightly in his arms.
He also looked at the two bunkers that were still breathing fire in front of them, as well as the three companies of troops who had already launched a charge, but were suppressed by the crossfire from the two bunkers. Zhou Tong gritted his teeth and turned around towards the sacrificial soldier behind him, the shell box in his hand creeping forward. Just when Zhou Tong just crawled out of the small hiding place, the puppet army shells in the town also followed. 、
The main fort was beaten dumb, and the puppet army in Pingchuan Town couldn't sit still. If the two bunkers were to be defeated, then all the fortifications in front of Hirakawa would have been lost. Some of the puppet troops who were on fire simply didn't care about the Eighth Road on the right flank hill, and concentrated all their firepower to suppress the three companies on the one hand, and fought with all their might at Zhou Tong's position.
The mountain cannon deployed by the puppet army in the town kept falling on Zhou Tong's side one after another. By the time Zhou Tong dragged the shell box, his left leg and right arm were already scarred by shrapnel. If it weren't for the poor technology of the puppet army's artillery and the inaccurate landing point of the shells, it is estimated that Zhou Tong would have died a long time ago.
But although Zhou Tong was only wounded, the two soldiers who turned around with him to take the shell, one was killed on the spot by the shell, and the other leg was blown off, and Zhou Tong, who was already covered with wounds, couldn't care about his wounds.
He dragged through the shell box left by the fallen soldier, and kept pushing his head against the shell box retrieved by the wounded soldier. After a lot of effort, leaving a long trail of blood behind him, Zhou Tongcai moved back to his position with two boxes of shells little by little.
Opening the box, Zhou Tong struggled to pick up the shells one by one, and checked them one by one. Only then did he steadily pick out two shells and fire continuously, knocking out the last two bunkers of the frontal puppet army. At the same time, the muzzle of the gun was turned around, and a simple fortification made of pseudo-military sandbags was knocked out with his hands.
After knocking out these fortifications and opening the way for the three companies to attack. At this moment, Zhou Tong, who was already covered in injuries and had almost become a bloody man, had exhausted all his strength. He no longer had the strength to open fire, and lay down beside the cannon. Even the cannonballs that came from the town didn't have the strength to dodge anymore.
Just as Zhou Tong judged, this kind of 37 infantry flat-fire cannon basically has no ability to completely destroy the kind of strong-structure pillbox except for penetrating through the shooting hole and killing and injuring the people and equipment inside. But there is basically no problem in dealing with this kind of civil structure of the bunker.
Zhou Tong fought with wounds and knocked out the main firepower point of the puppet army in front of Pingchuan. The three companies that launched a frontal charge carried a ladder that rushed through the blockade ditch and plunged directly into the front of Hirakawa. The second company rushed to the left flank hill and disarmed all the puppet troops on the left flank hill.
Zhang Zijian opened up the situation in the front, and the offensive became more and more fierce. Wang Tieshi in the town was frightened by the dense gunfire and shouting of killing outside the town. On the one hand, in addition to the guards who stayed by his side, almost all the puppet troops in the town were transferred to the front of Pingchuan. While grabbing the phone, he kept asking the surrounding puppet army to come back for help.
Under the mobilization of the panicked Wang Tieshi, almost all of the puppet troops in the town were transferred to the front. In all other directions of Pingchuan, there was hardly any garrison except for one or two sentinels. At this time, Liu Lianming, who had already made a detour back to the northwest corner, took two squads of his reconnaissance company and a company to the northwest corner by taking advantage of this opportunity.
Looking at the blockade ditch in front of him, Liu Lianming jumped in the first without hesitation. After all the troops jumped in, Wang Jun, who was acting with him, roughly estimated the distance. He took out a Japanese-made military shovel and quickly dug a small hole in the wall of the blockade ditch that seemed to be perpendicular.
After stuffing a bundle of *bags into the hole, it quickly ignited* and quickly hid with the rest of the people. With a loud bang, the side of the blockade ditch in this direction was blown into a gentle slope. Seeing that Wang Jun's explosion was successful, Liu Lianming patted him on the shoulder, leaving two fighters to protect him.
With his troops, he rushed down the gentle slope into Pingchuan Town. At this time, the barbed wire fence in this direction, as well as a fortification, had already been blown into the sky together. In addition, the puppet army in this direction was almost all transferred to the frontal battle. Right now, in the northwest direction of the entire Pingchuan Town, there is almost no one who can stop him.
Liu Lianming, who rushed into the town, took the lead with his reconnaissance company, and the flower mechanism in his hand cooperated with the shell gun, almost a god blocking and killing gods, and Buddha blocking*. The company that followed them constantly covered them with *. The two divisions cooperated with each other and rushed all the way to the place where the captured young man was being held.
The effect of Wang Jun's explosion was not only to open a passage for Liu Lianming, but also to give a signal to the plainclothes squad of the reconnaissance company that had infiltrated near the detention site at this time. With this explosion, this reconnaissance squad rushed directly into the detention site and disarmed all the five puppet soldiers guarding the young and middle-aged inside.
By the time Liu Lianming rushed over with his troops, the rescue had been completed. The puppet army, which has put almost all its energy on the front, can no longer take care of it at this moment. Seeing that the young man had been rescued safely, Liu Lianming immediately ordered a company to cover these people and move them immediately.
It's just that there are six or seven hundred, and they have been imprisoned for a while. At this time, the young man who was very weak and walked a little shaky, as well as the cadres and soldiers in the Ludong region who were captured in the sweep, Liu Lianming's head hurt a little bit at the moment. Now it's an attack, but what to do with this retreat has become a big problem.
These people walked with a shaky walk, almost skinny and bones. Although there were a few horse-drawn carriages in the place where these people were held, it was not enough for so many people to ride together. The original plan was to mobilize some carts in Pingchuan Town on the spot, but as soon as the people here saw the Eighth Route Army rushing in, they closed their doors as quickly as possible.
No matter how the warrior calls the door, he just won't open the door. The resistance of the common people, Liu Lianming and the first company commander could not move. Not to mention mobilization, no matter how much money you spend to hire it, no one will want to give you this car. The common people here are afraid of the revenge of the devils and the puppet military.
