After a while, dozens of cadres above the battalion level of the rapid reaction brigade sat in front of Liu Hua. Liu Hua looked at the dozens of energetic cadres in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Comrades, I won't say anything superfluous, now our base is in dire straits. Although, a few days ago, we wiped out thousands of security forces. However, the little devil did not withdraw his troops. In order to let the little devils withdraw their troops as soon as possible and withdraw from our base area, I decided to storm the enemy's material transfer station Jinzhong City and force the devils to return to help. Liu Hua glanced around at the cadres and said.

Although, everyone seems to have guessed that the target this time is Jinzhong City in the past few days, but when they heard the commander say it himself, everyone was extremely excited, and the quiet venue immediately became lively.

"Calm down, now I'll assign combat missions. According to the investigation of the underground party and the special operations brigade, there is still a garrison brigade and a baggage brigade with a total of 1,600 troops in Jinzhong City. In addition, there is a security corps in Jinzhong City with a strength of about 1,000 people, and the defenders are so many. Captain Liu, take out the devil's city defense map drawn by your special operations team and introduce it to you. Liu Hua looked at Liu Xiaogang and said.

"Yes, Commander, according to the reconnaissance, there are two gates in Jinzhong City, the city wall is 8 meters high, and it has very strong fortifications. At the same time, in order to prevent the county from being attacked, the army built three turrets at each city gate, and each turret was garrisoned by a small team, and fire support could be carried out between the turrets and the turrets. In other words, if you want to attack the county seat, you must first take these six turrets. In addition, I suspect that the army has dug out a lot of shooting holes in the city wall, and the specific situation is not clear because there is no fire reconnaissance... That's all our special operations brigade knows. Liu Xiaogang pointed to the hand-drawn city defense map and introduced.

"Well, very good, I think the situation is already clear to everyone, now order: the first regiment is responsible for the task of blocking and reinforcing the specific deployment, the first battalion is on guard in the direction of Taiyuan, the second battalion is on guard in the direction of the base area, to prevent the nearest Sakai brigade from blocking our rear road, and the third battalion, as a reserve, to reinforce the two positions at any time. In addition, the Jinzhong County Brigade served as a guard in places other than the above two positions, and when it discovered the enemy situation, it immediately reported it to Shen Qinghua, the commander of the first regiment. Liu Hua ordered.

"Yes, Commander, the first regiment guarantees to complete the task....""The county brigade guarantees to complete the task..."Shen Qinghua, the commander of the first regiment, and Luo Political Commissar of the county brigade replied one after another.

"Okay, the specific siege arrangement is like this: the second regiment attacks from the front, the third regiment attacks from the back, each has an artillery battalion to support, in addition, the mortar battalion of the artillery regiment is assigned to each company as fire support after the troops enter the county, I follow the second regiment to attack from the main gate, is there any problem?" Liu Hua looked at the remaining two regiment leaders and asked.

"Report to the commander, resolutely complete the task and take Jinzhong City." The two regiment commanders, along with the commander of the artillery regiment, stood up at the same time and replied.

"Okay, since there is no problem, let's split up now, now we will start the attack on time at eight o'clock in the evening, be sure to enter the city before 12 o'clock in the evening, and keep in touch with each other by radio. Get started now. Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction. Watch everyone leave in turn.

"Boom" fired two more shells, but the usually powerful 75-mm mountain artillery shells were like tickles in front of the sturdy reinforced concrete turret. A full ten shells were fired, but only a little skin was blown through the surface of the first turret.

The commander of the first battalion of the second regiment who served as the attack anxiously looked at the turret in front of him that was constantly spewing tongues of fire, you know, now half an hour has passed since the troops began to attack the city, but he still has not made any progress, the two battalions behind him look at himself, the regiment commander looks at himself, and the commander also looks at himself....

"Correspondent, tell Battalion Commander Zhou of the artillery battalion and ask him to transfer two mountain guns." The commander of the first battalion commanded with his fists clenched.

"Yes, battalion commander," shouted the smoke-covered communicator, dodging bullets flying everywhere and running towards the artillery positions in the rear.

"First battalion commander, how do you say how to fight! I brought two of the best mountain guns in the battalion, and twenty shells. Damn, I really didn't expect the little devil's turret to be so strong. After a while, the commander of the artillery battalion Zhou came to the side of the first battalion commander under the leadership of the communicator.

"Old Zhou, the devil's turret is too strong, and it is necessary to use direct fire to directly reach the devil's running building, so that it can work...."The battalion commander shouted loudly, afraid that the constant explosions would drown out his voice.

"First battalion commander, you think the cannon is a sniper rifle, this is a cannon, at such a distance, how can it be shot through such a small shooting hole, this method will not work!" Camp Commander Zhou immediately objected.

"No, Battalion Commander Zhou, there is only this way now, otherwise the devils occupy these three turrets, and the soldiers will not be able to attack at all. I asked the fighters to send two guns to 100 meters in front of the running building, is it possible to shoot directly at the building. The battalion commander asked loudly.

"Okay, first battalion commander, in order to defeat these three turrets, my old Zhou also fights, let the soldiers send us up! I'm also getting a taste of sniping with artillery today. Lao Zhou said in a desperate posture.

"Okay, the commander of the first company, use the cover of the earthen tank, send these two mountain guns to a place a hundred meters away from the devil's artillery tower, remember, you must ensure the safety of the artillery."

"Yes, battalion commander, even if the whole company is killed, I will also ensure the safety of the artillery and open the way for us to advance. One platoon of cover, two platoons to help the artillerymen push the artillery, three platoons, to the front with earthen tanks to block bullets, on ...."

Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire rang out from the position of the first battalion, and a flurry of bullets hit the three turrets not far away. Under the cover of heavy fire, a company with two cannons of the artillery battalion slowly walked out of the position and advanced, and almost every few meters, a soldier fell under the enemy's precise fire.

In the end, after the company paid nearly two squads of casualties, the two mountain guns finally advanced to the devil's running building.

"Damn, what is the first battalion commander doing? Is there such a war? How many soldiers will be sacrificed, communicator, go quickly, and order the commander of the first battalion to withdraw the two mountain guns. Looking at the soldiers who fell all the way, Luo Zhihui, the second regiment commander, couldn't help but start a fire.

"Wait a minute, don't withdraw yet, if my estimate is right, the commander of the first battalion wants a bayonet on the cannon, let him try it first." Liu Hua, who was beside him, watched every move on the position of the first battalion, and immediately stopped the communication soldiers who were about to leave.

Sure enough, just when Commander Luo Zhihui picked up the telescope again, he had already advanced to the front of the position, and under the cover of the earthen tank, the two mountain guns slowly raised their muzzles. Aiming for the first turret not far away.

"Boom..."Two loud explosions rang out. The turret was in a cloud of smoke, but sadly, the turret was still erected in front of the soldiers, but two huge pits appeared on the turret's body.

"Okay, good bombing, keep firing, this turret will be finished." Seeing the scene in front of him, Commander Luo Zhihui immediately forgot the order he had just ordered to retreat and shouted loudly.

The two cannons seemed to hear Luo Zhihui's shout, and at this moment, two huge explosions sounded, followed by another crashing roar, and the devil's first turret finally couldn't stand the continuous direct fire of the two cannons, and collapsed, as for the devils in the turret, they were all buried in the ruins of the turret.

"Good, good. Staff Officer Wang, immediately send this bayonet tactic on the cannon to the three regiments attacking behind the county seat, and I think they should have encountered the same method. While Liu Hua was excited, he kept his due calm and ordered to Staff Officer Wang behind him.

"Yes, Commander, with this tactic, we don't have to be afraid of the devil's turret in the future." Staff Officer Wang also replied with excitement on his face.

With the collapse of the first turret, the little devils in the remaining two turrets seemed to have discovered the artillery position of the squadron [***], which posed the greatest threat to them, so all the light and heavy weapons were aimed at the artillery position at the forefront of the position.

Bullets intensively. All at once, he smashed an earthen tank that was in the way. "Ahh

"Comrades, even if you use your body to block, you must also protect the artillery, you have just seen it, if you want to destroy the two turrets in front of you, you can only use artillery, everyone follow me, second row, quickly, set up the earthen tank, use the back to stand up, the rest, fire cover... Battalion Commander Zhou, fire the cannon quickly, we won't be able to stop it for long..."

"Comrades, hurry up, the soldiers of the first company will use their lives to buy us time, hurry, open fire...."Looking at the soldiers of the company that kept falling, Battalion Commander Zhou said with tears in his eyes.

Finally, the shelling of the second turret of the Japanese army began. Maybe it was the luck of the soldiers, maybe it was the same hatred of the soldiers, in short, one of the two shells in the first round went directly into the firing hole of the turret, and there was an explosion inside the turret, and the strong turret was suddenly shattered by the shells that flew into the turret...

"Okay, good, when the battle is over, I must give this company and artillery a first-class credit, it's really good, worthy of the soldiers of the rapid reaction brigade. Attaboy. Looking at the soldiers who kept falling down and kept rushing forward to block bullets, Liu Hua clenched his fists and couldn't help but say.

Two turrets were destroyed, and the last turret was easy to say, after firing 4 shells in a row in two rounds, all the devils of the squad inside were buried under the guns of the soldiers. When the soldiers sounded the trumpet of the charge and rushed to the devil's position, there was no longer a living devil in the entire army position. Looking at the first company, the whole company had 160 people before the battle, and now only half of the company remains, and a whole platoon of 52 fighters fell in front of the two cannons.
