Two days later, at three o'clock in the morning, the first regiment and one battalion of the new 1st Brigade of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared outside Yongle Town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The commander of the 1st battalion concentrated the 1st machine gun company, the mortar, and the 1st battalion, 1st company, and 2nd company in his operation to the south of Yongle Town, and only placed one platoon in each of the other three directions to monitor the troops.

However, once he reached the south of Yongle Town, he did not rush to let the troops attack, but asked the machine gun company to set up eight heavy machine guns behind to prepare for fire cover, and then let the first battalion and one company immediately start digging hard in the wheat fields to the south.

During the attack on Chen Gouji, the troops captured several heavy machine guns, and the regiment commander gave them all a company of machine guns.

This open field is more than 400 meters long, but it is all wheat fields, there are no hard rocks, and three rows spread out at the same time, like three giant dragons stretching forward.

Anyway, at this time, it was still far from the wall of the town guarded by the devils, and at first, the devils did not find out, so these soldiers quietly climbed out of more than a hundred meters, and then stuck to the ground and began to dig on the spot.

A platoon of more than 30 people opened a distance of four meters between each other, and a distance of 120 meters. After the fighters dug out the individual bunkers, they immediately connected the front and rear bunkers, and then the fighters of a squad began to dig horizontally, connecting the communication trenches dug by the three platoons.

After digging the traffic trench for an hour and extending to two hundred and fifty meters from the south gate, it was finally discovered by the devils guarding the wall of the town.

Bullets rained down, and flares rose into the sky, illuminating the south side of the town as if it were day.

The commander of the first battalion saw that the devil had been discovered, and immediately ordered the three heavy machine guns that followed up to fire at the devil on the town wall, and the dull sound of heavy machine guns immediately sounded in the night sky, and the bullets flew like locusts towards the head of the town, beating the devil lying on the wall so that he could not raise his head.

However, after all, the devil had the advantage of geographical advantage, and found that the firepower of the Eighth Route outside was strong, and there were mortars firing at the south gate, so he immediately knew that he had encountered the main force of the Eighth Road, so he used light and heavy machine guns to return fire while reporting to Matsui Gen.

When Matsui Gen heard the report of the Japanese commander guarding the south gate, saying that he had discovered that the Eighth Route was attacking the south gate, and that he had quietly dug a communication trench of more than 100 meters under the cover of night, and had approached a position less than 300 meters away from the south gate, he was in a hurry, put on his clothes and hurried to the south gate with a small team.

Walking up to the south gate, he saw that his soldiers were lying on the wall of the town, using various fortifications to shoot at the eight roads, he carefully approached a shooting hole, looked out carefully, and found that the eight roads attacking outside, not only mortars, but also heavy machine guns, as for how many eight roads were buried in the wheat field and digging hard, but it was impossible to see clearly.

At first, because he thought that there was such an open field outside the south gate, the attacking side could not hide his body at all, so Matsui did not build a large fortress here.

But now that Balu was using civil engineering operations to dig trenches under his nose, he immediately knew that the situation was serious.

"Quick, bring the grenadiers, give me a bang, give me a hard shot." Matsui Gen pointed to the eight roads that were struggling to excavate, and shouted angrily.

He commanded the troops to guard Yongle Town, in fact, he also specially strengthened two infantry guns, but unfortunately these two infantry guns, one was arranged by him in Dongshan, and the other was arranged by him in Beishan, as for mortars, they were not equipped at all.

However, there are a few heavy machine guns, and light machine guns are equipped as standard.

Hearing his shouts, the grenadiers immediately set up their grenadiers and began to bombard the outside of the town.

It's a pity that just a dozen or so shells were fired, and the eight roads outside were not to be outdone, and the mortar shells became more and more accurate, and a few of them actually landed on the town wall, and the two grenadiers were directly blown away.

When Matsui Gen saw the posture of Balu, he was determined to capture his Yongle Town, so he had to pick up the phone and report to Qufeng's stronghold, but unfortunately there was only a busy tone on the phone.

Obviously, the telephone line had been cut by the eight roads, and Matsui had to use the radio to report to the top.

The Japanese commander of the Qufeng stronghold received a call from the commander of Jiping County, Yokota Noo, asking him to immediately reinforce Yongle Town, and said that he had ordered the Japanese troops in Jiping County to go north for reinforcements.

As soon as he heard that Yongle Town was in an emergency, the Japanese commander stationed at the Qufeng stronghold put down the phone and immediately ordered a squadron of Japanese troops and a company of the Imperial Allied Army to assemble immediately, and then left a Japanese squadron and a company of the Imperial Allied Army to guard the stronghold, and personally took the reinforcements, jumped on the eight cars that had been prepared earlier, and hurried in the direction of Yongle Town.

The time when the Japanese army in Qufeng's stronghold went north to reinforce was exactly half past four in the morning.

Seeing that the devil was really brave the night, he hurriedly went north in a car, and Shi Qiang, who had already led his troops to guard outside the Qufeng stronghold, was as calm as ever.

Raising his wrist and looking at the watch of the captured Japanese commander, he found that it was five o'clock, and he said in a deep voice: "Start acting." ”

The first squadron of the reconnaissance brigade, under the leadership of Wang Dachun, immediately touched the artillery tower that the devil had repaired on the mountain, Su Xiaopeng led his men to the artillery tower next to the stronghold, and the first company and two companies of the third battalion were preparing for attack around the stronghold.

In order to successfully capture the Devil's Turret, Shi Qiang put all two squadrons of the reconnaissance brigade into battle.

Although Wang Dachun and the others used to carry out special operations missions, they also conducted special research and training on uprooting the devil's stronghold, and they knew that the devil's turret was very tall, and there was machine gun fire on it, and under normal circumstances, it was impossible to get close to it at a distance of 100 meters. However, the reconnaissance brigade has specially prepared an attack weapon for this purpose, that is, homemade incendiary bombs.

Of course, in order to deal with the searchlights in the high places of the devils, the sniper is an indispensable equipment.

Look at the rush to a hundred meters away from the devil's turret, Wang Dachun waved his hand, the soldiers immediately lay on the ground, two snipers immediately prepared to shoot, and two fighters with crossbows carefully loaded the ******. The rest of the fighters were prepared for the attack according to their respective battle groups.

In particular, the fighters in charge of the blasting checked the prepared explosives package again.

When the troops attacked Chen Gouji, although the devil's arsenal was blown up, some ammunition was captured, including two boxes of explosives.

Seeing that the soldiers were ready to be in place, Wang Dachun slashed with his big hand, and the sniper immediately pulled the board machine, and the searchlight on the turret had just been moved, and with the sound of two gunshots, the searchlight went out.

The devils and the Imperial Cooperative Army guarding the turret heard the sound of gunfire outside, and they were so shocked that they got up, and the commander hurriedly shouted: "The Eighth Road is coming, give me a hard beating." ”

These devils and the Imperial Allied Army grabbed the shooting hole, grabbed their guns and shot outside.

In the darkness, the firing hole with a tongue of fire was unusually eye-catching, and two warriors with crossbows saw the opportunity to fire quickly, and the two ****** flew near the shooting hole and quickly burned.

The two fires ignited, and the devils guarding the turret only felt that the heat wave was rushing towards them, and they were immediately surprised. The firepower from the outward firing immediately waned.

At this time, the two demomen quickly jumped out and took advantage of the terrain to continuously rush towards the turret, and behind them, the fighters of the first squadron of the reconnaissance brigade opened fire on the turret one after another, suppressing the fire.

Most of the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade have been fed with countless bullets, and their shooting level is more than one grade higher than that of the soldiers of the infantry company.

At this time, the two soldiers who fired incendiary bombs continued to shoot incendiary bombs towards the turret, causing the entire turret to be on fire everywhere.

The devils inside didn't expect to encounter such a situation at all.

In fact, Liu Tianshu's troops also used this method to destroy the Japanese army's artillery towers in the past, but it was all in Fuchang County, and the Japanese army in Jiping County did not know that Fuyashan Eighth Road had such a move.

Just as the devil panicked, the two Demomen had successfully rushed to the bottom of the turret, and after placing the explosives, the two soldiers looked at each other, and at the same time pulled the explosives to ignite, and then suddenly rolled backwards.

In the blink of an eye, the two rolled out for about thirty meters.

At this time, the devils guarding the turret found the figure of the eight roads outside, just moved the muzzle of the gun to the two soldiers, and the explosives were immediately detonated, only to hear two loud noises, the tall turret was directly exploded, and after shaking for a while, countless bricks and stones rolled down, and then with a bang, the turret collapsed, and the screams of those devils and the imperial army were drowned in the rising smoke in a blink of an eye.

When Wang Dachun's squadron took out the turret on the hill, the turret next to the stronghold was also destroyed by Su Xiaopeng.

Subsequently, the soldiers of the first and second companies of the third battalion slaughtered into the devil's stronghold like tigers.

There were still more than 100 devils guarding the barracks of the stronghold, but the firepower points built at the four corners of the stronghold were immediately destroyed by the reconnaissance team, and a gap was blown open in the wall in a blink of an eye.

The first and second companies entered the stronghold, although the devils inside fought back desperately, but unfortunately the soldiers of the two companies were extremely brave, plus the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade were on the side to assist, and in a blink of an eye, most of the devils fell.

When the fierce battle reached dawn, all the devils in Qufeng's stronghold were wiped out, and except for more than 40 people who put down their guns and surrendered when the situation was not good, the rest were directly eliminated.

When Shi Qiang commanded the troops to clean up the battlefield, the lives of the devils and the Imperial Association army who reinforced Yongle Town also came to an end.

The devils and the imperial army that reinforced Yongle Town, because they took eight cars and two three-wheeled motorcycles to open the way, their speed was still very fast, and they arrived at Mud Bay in half an hour.

The second and third companies of the machine guns were arranged on the high ground behind the three companies, and a section of the road about 400 meters long in the muddy bay was all under the fire of the machine-gun battalion.

Liu Tianshu stood on the hill behind, watched a string of lights move towards this side in the distance, and said to Tian Yulong and Pang Fuyong without looking back: "Order the troops to prepare for battle, don't save bullets, and destroy this group of enemies as quickly as possible."
