Chapter 540: Striking the West? (3rd Update!) )
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was just beginning to darken, and it was no longer possible for the devil plane to come to the battlefield.
Lurking near Zhouzhuang, an independent regiment of the Japanese army in a grain warehouse moved.
More than 800 people carried heavy machine guns and mortars, and rushed towards Zhouzhuang in a company unit.
"Bang ......" The Japanese guard post opened fire from a long distance. Then the Japanese puppet army stationed in the granary was in chaos, and they didn't eat anything, and rushed to the position directly with their weapons in the shouts and scolding of the officers.
"Qin Chuan, after fighting for so long, you know better than me the specific location of the devil's position, all the mortars brought by the independent regiment are under your command, first bomb the devil's position around the granary for me, and reduce the pressure of our next attack!" Zhang Guoding, the leader of the second squadron of the special operations brigade who walked with the commander of the independent regiment, looked at the granary that was getting closer and closer to him not far away, and directly ordered to the gunner Qin Chuan! ”
"No problem, captain, if you can't hit a cannonball, you punish me!" Qin Chuan replied confidently.
The commander of the independent regiment next to him was directly shocked by Qin Chuan's answer, turned his head and ordered the mortar company commander behind him: "Comrade Qin Chuan must be a master, and the mortar company is now under his command." Also, give me some learning when you fight, and for the time being, you can learn half of Comrade Qin Chuan's skills, and I'll go back to give you credit! ”
Together with the three mortars equipped by the special combat team, a total of nine mortars were directly erected less than 500 meters from the granary.
"Listen up, the devils in Zhouzhuang also have mortars, they are well-trained and have a very fast reaction speed. Now we have adjusted the firing angle, five shells for each gunner, shoot out as fast as possible, retreat after the fight, and you can't stay here for a second! After checking the firing angles of the nine mortars in turn, Qin Chuan was not polite, and directly ordered with a serious face.
"Everyone, prepare! Fire! ”
"Woooooooooo......oo Boom, boom......, boom ”
"I know it's the main force of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise there wouldn't be so much artillery!" The captain replied with a calm face.
Then he ordered the adjutant next to him: "Order our artillery, immediately counterattack, kill the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and then cover the troops to hold their positions!" ”
"Also, immediately send a telegram to the brigade commander that at least one main regiment of the Eighth Route Army is attacking us, and it is also equipped with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns! Request reinforcements! ”
At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in the county seat, the brigade commander who was having dinner threw down his dishes and chopsticks as soon as he heard the faint explosion outside the city, and then hurried to the war room, where he collided with the chief of staff who was about to go out to find him.
"General, the Zhouzhuang grain depot was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army has artillery, and the defenders have suffered heavy losses, ask for reinforcements!"
"How many Eighth Route Army!" The brigade commander quickly walked to the map, stared at Zhou Zhuang's location and asked.
"There is already a regiment that has appeared, armed with heavy machine guns and mortars!" The chief of staff hastened to answer.
"Aren't they going to attack Fengling Town? How did you run to Zhouzhuang! Also, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has a total of four main regiments, and only one has come out now, where are the remaining three main regiments hidden? Can anyone tell me? The brigade commander frowned and analyzed!
The chief of staff shook his head and replied, "It's as if they're missing, and no one has found out where they are." Not only that, but today and one day, the intelligence services and reconnaissance units also lost forty or fifty people, and it is not known where they were lost! ”
"This must have been done by the Eighth Route Army's special combat team, and only they can quietly kill dozens of our intelligence officers and scouts! Yaga! The brigade commander judged with a frown.
At this time, the chief of staff seemed to think of something, and then added: "General, we have only hoarded 200,000 catties of grain in Zhouzhuang, even if the Eighth Route Army snatches it, it will be a drop in the bucket, at most let them hold on for a few more days, and finally attack Fengling Town!" ”
"In this case, the Eighth Route Army has also dispatched so many troops to attack Zhouzhuang, will it be to cover people's eyes and ears and attack the west!"
"They are too cunning and never go head-to-head with the Imperial Army. Don't look at Zhouzhuang's attack is very fierce, it may be an illusion created by the Eighth Route Army! ”
"Possibly!" The frowning brigade commander nodded in reply.
But then he changed his words and continued: "However, we can't rule out the possibility that the Eighth Route Army really wants to take Zhouzhuang!" ”
"Chief of Staff, excluding the troops left behind, how many troops have you gathered in total to reinforce the three grain depots outside the city!"
"Five infantry squadrons of the Imperial Army, plus artillery, baggage soldiers, and heavy machine gunners, a total of more than 1,300 people, and a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, more than 1,200 people!" The chief of staff answered immediately!
The brigade commander made a decision after thinking for half a minute: "There are two infantry squadrons of the Zhouzhuang Imperial Army, and more than one battalion of the Imperial Army. If you add a squadron of Imperial Army and a battalion of Imperial Army, equipped with enough heavy machine guns and mortars, there should be no problem against a regiment of the Eighth Route Army! ”
"Chief of Staff, according to the order I just made, send troops to reinforce Zhouzhuang, immediately!"
After more than 500 days, the puppet army only took ten minutes to leave the city, and then marched to Zhouzhuang, six kilometers away.
The battle of Zhouzhuang was still continuing, and under the guidance of Qin Chuan, more than 200 shells directly caused the Japanese puppet army to lose nearly 200 people.
What made the captain of the devil brigade vomit blood was that the counterattack of the mortar squadron under his command not only did not work, but instead attracted two rounds of artillery attacks from the Eighth Route Army, directly losing more than 20 gunners.
Because the loss of troops was too fast, the captain had to send his guard team to the battlefield in advance. As for the captain himself, he also rushed to the front line of the battlefield with a pistol and directly commanded the battle.
"The machine gunner immediately fired, and the fire was suppressed! The grenadiers fired and killed the firepower points of the Eighth Route Army! The captain, who was hiding behind cover, shouted as he watched the battle.
A lieutenant next to him immediately replied: "Sir, there are snipers in the Eighth Route Army, and our machine gunners have been replaced by five or six people, and everyone is headshot after only firing a few bullets, and no one dares to go over and operate the machine gun!" ”
"Nani? What about our special forces? What are they doing to eat, find the machine gunners of the Eighth Route Army immediately and kill them! The captain ordered decisively with a calm face.
After glancing at the lieutenant next to him, he continued to order: "You are an officer, and a soldier is afraid of death, so the officer will be on the officer!" You go to control the machine gun, and if the machine gun does not shoot, it is impossible to block the offensive of the Eighth Route Army! ”
The lieutenant's face turned pale and his legs went limp.
But after seeing the captain's eyes that could almost kill, no matter how scared he was, he could only move over slowly.
After holding the handle of the machine gun with trembling hands and praying in his heart that he would not be targeted by the sniper, he pulled the trigger as soon as he closed his eyes.
Shots rang out, and before the lieutenant could open his eyes, a bullet went into his head.
The heavy machine gun, which had just fired five rounds and met with five rounds, was again dumbfired
When the lieutenant died, the captain's eyes immediately turned red, and he cursed and ordered the others to continue to make up for it. However, under the threat of a headshot, the devil next to him hid behind cover as if he didn't hear it, and continued to shoot out with a rifle!
