Chapter 244: Marksmanship
Yang Xingguo's concerns are very reasonable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
More than 800 Japanese troops were stationed outside the city with their strongholds, and even if the Liaodong army attacked one after another with the most intense artillery fire, it would not be possible to wipe out all the Japanese troops outside the city in two or three hours.
However, Zhang Shanlin, who was squatting beside Yang Xingguo, did not pay attention to Yang Xingguo's worries.
Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, he picked up a pencil and drew a large arrow on the sketch.
Then, he explained to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, attacking from here, there are only two Japanese strongholds blocking in front of us......"
"With our firepower, we can destroy these two Japanese strongholds in an hour at most and kill them outside the south gate of the county seat."
"Breakthrough ...... in the middle" Yang Xingguo, who instantly understood Zhang Shanlin's thoughts, said subconsciously.
However, it didn't take long for Yang Xingguo to speak again.
He continued to ask Zhang Shanlin: "The Japanese troops in these two strongholds are two hundred people...... Even if you destroy them, there are still six or seven hundred people outside the city outside the Japanese, how are you going to deal with them......"
"With so many well-trained Japanese troops, if left unchecked, it is a very big potential threat to us."
"I will never ignore ...... and don't ask," Zhang Shanlin replied without thinking.
"My idea is, to each his own...... After the main force reaches the south gate of the county seat, the commander leads the main force to capture the county seat and the arsenal with the cooperation of the special combat team members in the city. ”
"I led the remaining special combat troops, with a mountain artillery company and a heavy machine gun company, to eliminate the remaining six or seven hundred Japanese troops outside the city......"
After a short hesitation, Yang Xingguo decisively affirmed: "That's it!" ”
The earth was once again shrouded in night, and the county seat, which had been lively for a day, slowly calmed down.
The Liaodong Army was dispatched.
Six mountain guns, pushed by hundreds of gunners, slowly approached the Japanese stronghold.
Soon, the six mountain guns were stopped less than three hundred meters from the Japanese stronghold.
"Prepare the shells, aim at the Japanese stronghold in front, and open fire in five minutes. Fight for two rounds of artillery shells to raze the Japanese stronghold to the ground......" The commander of a mountain artillery company had an expression that was both excited and hot. Decisive ordered.
When the mountain artillery company was erecting artillery in an orderly manner, Li Zhilong, the commander of the first regiment, was leading a battalion to cross the position of the mountain artillery company. As far as possible
The Japanese stronghold touched it.
It was not until the figure of the patrol soldier in the Japanese stronghold clearly appeared in Li Zhilong's eyes that Li Zhilong ordered his subordinates to stop advancing and wait for the mountain artillery company to open fire.
"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom Boom .......Boom ......Boom It reached Li Zhilong's ears.
I saw that the Japanese stronghold more than 100 meters away was quickly enveloped by the fireball generated by the explosion of six shells.
Li Zhilong knows. Your chance has come.
After loading the pistol bullets in his hand, he decisively gave the order to attack.
Li Zhilong, with a battalion of more than 400 people, had just rushed out of 50 meters, and the scream of artillery shells across the sky reached their ears again.
Seeing that the Japanese stronghold 100 meters away once again rose six orange-red fireballs, and followed, the sound of violent explosions reached Li Zhilong's ears.
Li Zhilong's whole person seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the performance of the artillery company is over, and it is our turn next...... Kill me all and kill all the little devils. Don't let the artillery company laugh at our infantry, we can't even clean up the remnants of the devil......"
After Li Zhilong led the team to rush to the devil's stronghold that had been razed to the ground.
Only a dozen or so of the Japanese in a squad still had the strength to raise their guns to fight back.
However, under the fire of a battalion of hundreds of rifles, three light machine guns, and a dozen pistols.
Even if they had a chance to raise a gun, they wouldn't have a chance to shoot.
After a crackling gunshot, there was no longer a living devil in the small stronghold.
Li Zhilong, who easily took the first stronghold of the Japanese army and directly commanded the battle, was not too happy.
Because. The greatest contributor to the capture of this stronghold was the artillery.
A mountain artillery company with six mountain artillery cannons against a squad of little devils, if it can't win so smoothly, then Li Zhilong, the platoon commander, will really be in vain.
Therefore, the Japanese stronghold, which had been bombed into ruins, was trampled under his feet. Li Zhilong gave the order to continue the attack.
Soon, another Japanese stronghold five hundred meters away stood in front of Li Zhilong.
"How long will it take for the mountain artillery company to come over......" Looking at the Japanese stronghold in front of him, Li Zhilong frowned and asked.
"It will take another ten minutes, and the stronghold that has just been blown up to waste is blocking the way of the mountain artillery company, and it must be cleared. The mountain artillery company can come over......" The commander of the first battalion hurriedly replied.
Li Zhilong shook his head and said, "It's too long, we can't afford to wait......"
After finishing speaking, Li Zhilong ordered the first battalion commander with a serious face: "Draw out a company to attack, use all the light and heavy machine guns you brought, and see if you can rush in......
"Also, let the herald inform the mountain artillery company not to come yet, set up an artillery position on the spot, and provide artillery support to the first battalion at any time......"
"Although the shelling distance is a little farther, the accuracy will be much worse. But we brought a lot of shells, so it's a big deal to get two more rounds of shells......"
"Also, the troops clearing the road can't stop."
"After beating the stronghold of the devil, we will also fight the county seat...... The six mountain guns of the mountain artillery company had to move forward no matter what. ”
Commander Yang Xingguo is right when he says that although Japan is a small country, it lacks resources.
However, the combat effectiveness of their troops was not at all impatient.
In particular, the lack of resources in the country forced them to practice accurate marksmanship. In this way, they can destroy the most enemies on the battlefield with the fewest bullets.
The first battalion was equipped with six heavy machine guns and three light machine guns, although the Japanese could not lift their heads, and the only heavy machine gun equipped with it became an ornament. However, for every bullet fired from the rudimentary strongholds of the Japanese army, a battalion and a company that were rushing at them would fall.
The company had barely rushed forward thirty meters before at least twenty brothers fell under the counterattack of the Japanese.
At this moment, the first company was still about 100 meters away from the Japanese stronghold.
If you continue to rush like this, the first company will definitely be wiped out before it can enter the Japanese stronghold.
After comprehending the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, Li Zhilong, with a solemn face, decisively ordered the first company to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Notify the mountain artillery company behind and open fire immediately...... Let's get five rounds of shells for the devil's stronghold and see if we can knock them down......"
Soon, the familiar scream of shells, the violent explosion of shells...... began to sound on the battlefield.
The stronghold, where more than 100 devils were stationed, was directly drowned in artillery fire and gunsmoke after two consecutive rounds of shelling.
Although it is not clear about the specific casualties of the Japanese troops in the stronghold, the corpses of the devils who are constantly thrown up in the stronghold have already told Li Zhilong that the devils of flesh and blood must have suffered heavy losses under such heavy artillery fire.
