South of Guantai Village, the position of the second battalion of the 33rd Brigade. The commander of the second battalion and a mortar team were lurking in a depression. A soldier stretched out his thumb and gestured in front of him, still muttering words in his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.

"Little Guizi, are you sure?" The second battalion commander asked nervously.

"No problem, Camp!" The warrior who was gesturing something laughed. His name is Qian Wugui, and he is the first gunner of this artillery squad (the one responsible for firing the artillery), and he is also a famous sharpshooter of the 33rd Brigade.

Rumble...... After some careful measurements, a shell whizzed out of the middle of a machine-gun fire point in front of it. With a loud bang, the heavy machine gun that was firing wildly immediately fell silent.

"Hit! Hit! The mood of the warriors suddenly boiled, and they all cheered loudly and happily.

The second battalion commander patted Liu Wugui's shoulder vigorously and said happily: "Good job, little Guizi, fight another one!" ”

Liu Wugui smiled and said, "Okay, just look at it!" As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of machine gun fire in front of them, and everyone's smiles froze at once.

A sharp-eyed soldier shouted: "Oh no, the little devil's machine-gun fire point has been resurrected!" ”

The second battalion commander was shocked and angry. couldn't help but scold: "What's the situation? What a fucking evil door! As he spoke, he hurriedly sent his soldiers to the forward position to inquire about the specific situation.

It turned out that the Japanese army's heavy machine gun positions were built very carefully, and each position was an independent bunker fortification, which was very strong. Although the shell just now accurately hit the bunker, it only blew a small crater on the surface of the bunker. The intensity of this attack could hardly threaten the Japanese soldiers and machine guns hiding inside.

Liu Wugui felt very disappointed and couldn't help but say, "Yingzao, why don't I shoot again?" ”

The commander of the second battalion sighed and said, "It's useless to shoot a few more shots, the power of the 82 guns is still a little smaller!" ”

The arsenal is working on a heavy grenade, but unfortunately it can't make it this time. The power of this shell is much greater than that of ordinary mortars. Although the firing distance has been reduced. But it's perfectly acceptable.

The commander of the sixth company suddenly interjected and said, "Battalion, how about using the flying thunder cannon?" "The main force of the second battalion was originally the fifth company, but unfortunately the commander of the fifth company was wounded. The casualties of the entire company were also heavy. had to be temporarily transferred to the reserve.

The second battalion commander shook his head. He said, "No, the range of that thing is too close, so you can only dig forward in the way of earthwork." However, the river beach here is too hard, and I am afraid that I will not even want to get close to the village until dawn. ”

The commander of the sixth company said depressedly: "Then we don't need to do earthwork, I will take the brothers to rush once and grab a temporary position for the flying thunder artillery team." ”

The second battalion commander smiled bitterly: "It's still not good, the casualties of the soldiers are too big to be worth it!" ”

Although the heavy machine gun positions of the Japanese army were relatively independent individuals, they could echo each other and rely on each other. The positions and distances between the positions are rigorously calculated, there are no dead spots at all, and the shooting can be optimal. And no matter which position is attacked, it will be flanked by adjacent positions.

The deputy battalion commander didn't think of anything to pay attention to, so he had to say, "Forget it, camp." Let's wait for the artillery to come back! They have flat-firing guns, and it's nothing to hit a bunker! ”

The second battalion commander nodded regretfully and said, "That's all it can be!" ”

Although he insisted that the brigade headquarters send artillery support, he still wanted to show a small hand in front of the artillery unit first. I didn't expect the turtle shell of the Japanese position to be so hard, and he was reluctant to fight for the lives of his brothers.

Fortunately, the artillery unit quickly arrived. Looking at the tired and sweaty artillery brothers, the second battalion commander hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brothers who have worked hard, who are you leading the team today?" ”

A major rushed over panting and said, "Battalion Commander Meng, it's me, Lao Liu!" ”

Battalion Commander Meng gave Major Liu a bear hug and said happily, "It's you kid!" Quick, help me see how to deal with the imp's machine gun! ”

Major Liu picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and said, "It's too dark to see clearly." Old Meng, did you draw a picture before? ”

Camp Commander Meng hurriedly said: "It's drawn, it's painted!" As he spoke, he hurriedly asked the battalion secretary to bring over the map marking the Japanese machine-gun position.

Major Liu looked at it, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "Old Meng, we can't use your picture!" ”

It turns out that the combat methods of infantry and artillery are very different, especially this kind of drawings related to the direction of the target, which are often not universal and cannot be converted. Because of the data that artillery needs, a lot of things are not entered on the drawings provided by the infantry.

In fact, you probably won't be able to ask the infantry to measure or make artillery-specific drawings. I remember that after entering the 21 st century, a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) held a multi-service joint exercise. To the surprise of the chiefs, the orders given by the infantry commander were confusing to the attached artillery units.

At that time, the commander of the infantry regiment gave an order to the artillery attached to it, saying that it would launch a fierce attack on the enemy's positions in front and destroy all the enemy's fortifications (to the effect that so). This order is very easy to understand for the infantry, but the artillery is blind, and they don't know where to hit the road and how to fire the artillery!

Camp Commander Meng blushed when he heard this, so he was not embarrassed, so he had to say to Ai Ai: "Uh, that, Lao Liu, why don't I let the brothers rush again, and you measure it yourself?" ”

Major Liu nodded and said, "Okay, then there are brothers of the Lao infantry." ”

"Rush!" The commander of the sixth company personally led a group of brothers to attack the Japanese position. The fighters were all working in small groups and flexibly maneuvering forward, and they were about to approach the forward position of the Japanese army.

Da Da Da ...... The Japanese heavy machine guns fired wildly, just not giving the soldiers a chance to get close to the village. The fighters stormed several times in a row. They were all blocked back by the dense rain of bullets. However, the fighters did not mean to fight to the death, and after identifying a fire point, they quickly dodged and advanced towards another area.

Woohoo Woo ...... Just when the Japanese heavy machine guns were firing wildly, a rapid-fire artillery squad of the artillery finally adjusted the target of the shooting, Zhuyuan, and opened fire quickly.

The shell penetrated through the firing hole accurately, and the position was blown up on the spot, with all the men and guns in the position. Before the Japanese army could react, other groups of artillery also launched one after another, and the Japanese heavy machine guns, which had been so arrogant just now, were silently fired one after another.

The commander of the sixth company led his troops to dance with the Grim Reaper for a long time, and had to retreat because of physical exhaustion. He wiped his sweat and gasped and said, "How's it going?" Camp! Have all the machine gun positions of the little devils been wiped out? ”

The second battalion commander closed his mouth with joy. Patted him on the shoulder and said, "Killed most of them." The battalion commander of the artillery Liu also said that he would ask for credit for you! ”

The commander of the sixth company was a little embarrassed and said, "What kind of work can you please, it would be good to be able to finish off the little devil's heavy machine gun!" ”

The sound of the trumpet sounded again, and the soldiers rushed out of the trenches again. Roaring and rushing to the Japanese position. This time, it was the seventh company that attacked for the sixth company. It was planned to remove all the remaining machine guns of the Japanese army.

Da Da Da ...... Woohoo Woo ...... Da Da Da ...... Woohoo Woo ...... Both sides are attacking desperately. Bullets and shells whizzed through the air as if in an ensemble of a symphony. Of course, if there is such a song. It must be the music of the devil.

Battalion Commander Meng suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed to the artillery position, saying, "Lao Liu, why is the little devil's machine gun position fighting more and more?" ”

Previously, while the Japanese were unprepared, Major Liu and they destroyed more than half of the heavy machine guns in one fell swoop. But now after fighting for a long time, we have seen that the firepower of the Japanese army has weakened, and there is even a tendency to increase.

Major Liu's face was solemn and he said, "Old Meng, listen to the sound of bullets!" ”

Lao Meng listened carefully for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's not just the ninety-two style, but also the voice of the crooked handle!" ”

Major Liu nodded and said, "Yes, our rapid-fire guns are too small, and they can only kill and injure Japanese personnel and destroy their weapons, but there is no way to destroy the entire fortification." They can take advantage of the old fortifications and set up light machine guns to strafe our stormtroopers! ”

Another foreign artillery officer added: "I suspect that there are tunnels or communication trenches between the various positions of the Japanese army. This makes it very difficult for us to kill them effectively, because they can be transferred at any time! ”

Battalion Commander Meng's face was a little heavy, and he said, "Yes, even if we can get away with killing some soldiers in the fortifications and blowing up a few machine guns." But as long as those bunkers are still there, the Japanese army can re-replenish their personnel and weapons to garrison them. ”

Major Liu smiled bitterly: "That's the problem!" ”

As he spoke, a loud bang suddenly came. Major Liu yelled that it was not good, and hurriedly asked the artillery units to be transferred. It turned out that the artillery and the Japanese machine-gun positions were entangled for too long, revealing the position, and as a result, they were attacked by the Japanese artillery.

Fortunately, all the rapid-fire guns and flat-fire snipers were exposed, and the infantry guns were not suitable for long-range flat fire, so they never participated in the battle, thus escaping the catastrophe. The infantry artillery squads quickly counterattacked, and the Japanese artillery was too weak and quickly hid.

"What about the casualties?" Brigadier Zhao Yunxiang tried his best to make his tone appear calmer.

"Eight people were killed, five were seriously wounded, nineteen were slightly wounded, and a rapid-fire gun and a flat-fire sniper were blown up!" Major Liu didn't dare to hide it, so he had to report the casualties.

I thought that the brigade commander would be angry, but I didn't expect Brigade Commander Zhao to just say: "Be careful next, don't embarrass our 97th Army!" ”

Major Liu hurriedly reassured: "Brigade, don't worry, if you ......"

Brigade Commander Zhao interrupted him and said, "Don't say these useless things, I want to see your performance!" As he spoke, he hung up the phone, apparently still having a fire in his belly.

Major Liu stood upright on the other end of the phone and said loudly: "Yes, brigade!" As he spoke, he hurriedly ran to command the troops to counterattack. However, the Japanese artillery knew that their strength was insufficient, so they showed their faces and soon hid and never came out again. Major Liu had no choice but to continue to cooperate with the infantry to fight the Japanese machine-gun position.

Da Da Da ...... Sudden ...... The cunning Japanese army used light and heavy machine guns to weave a dense network of firepower, and not even a single bug could fly through.

The commander of the sixth company led his troops to attack several times in a row and declared failure, and said angrily: "The little devil of the dog day is really rich, and the machine gun bullets are like those who don't need money!" ”

Battalion Commander Meng smiled bitterly: "It's not that they don't want money, but the supplies of the 14th Division are in their hands, so they don't have to worry about running out of bullets at all!" ”

The sixth company commander's eyes lit up and said, "Hey, so there should be a lot of shells and explosives in the village?" ”

Battalion Commander Meng said: "Not only that, but I am afraid that there will be a staggering amount of gasoline and other supplies. ”

The sixth company was overjoyed and said, "Then why are we still working so hard?" Directly bring in field artillery to bombard the village and blow up all the little devils into the sky! ”

Battalion Commander Meng said: "Are you trying to detonate the devil's supplies? The military seat and the brigade seat are afraid that they are reluctant to do this! ”

The commander of the sixth company smiled and said, "Heh, yes, it's a bit of a pity!" ”

Zheng Huzi did get a lot of supplies under the banner of the Central Army, and he grabbed a lot of them from the Japanese army. But as soon as the war started, no matter how much the supplies were, they ran out, so until the last moment, they still hoped to make a profit. If one cannon bombards Guantai Village into the sky, this battle will be considered a loss.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and soon it was dark, but Guantai Village was still firmly controlled by the Japanese army. The five main battalions of the 33rd Brigade participating in the attack were exhausted, but still could not go further.

Brigadier Commander Zhao Yunxiang was so anxious that he walked around the war room, Duan Shuanghu was half-lying on a chair rubbing his head and thinking about it, and Deputy Brigadier Huang was the most anxious, constantly calling the battalions to ask about the progress and battle situation.

"Report!" A correspondent suddenly stood in the doorway, holding a telegram in his hand.

Duan Shuanghu stood up, stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and asked, "Where did you send it?" ”

The correspondent hurriedly said: "It was personally issued by the military seat!" ”

Duan Shuanghu opened it and looked at it for a while, and handed the draft of the telegram to Zhao Yunxiang.

When Zhao Yunxiang saw it, his face changed greatly, and he handed it to Deputy Brigade Commander Huang.

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang was talking to the first battalion on the phone, and shouted: "What, still didn't rush in?" What the hell is your battalion doing! ”

Zhao Yunxiang said: "Lao Huang, let the battalions suspend the attack, you take a look at this first!" ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang put down the phone, took the draft of the telegram and looked at it, and suddenly exclaimed: "This, this? Blow it all up? Wasn't all our previous efforts in vain? ”

Duan Shuanghu sighed and said, "The military seat said that Tufeiyuan has taken Mengjiaoji, and it is not far from the Yellow River crossing, and it is estimated that he will be able to rush to the edge of the Yellow River early tomorrow morning." If we can't win the platform overnight, I'm afraid we won't have a chance again. ”

After some weighing, Zheng Huzi still decided to destroy all the materials in Guantai. Although I am very reluctant in my heart, there is no way, compared with materials, the 890,000 fathers and elders of Henan, Anhui and Suzhou are obviously more important!

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang let out a long sigh and slammed his fist on the table in frustration.

Brigadier Zhao Yunxiang's expression remained unchanged, he nodded and said, "Since there is an order from the military seat, we will carry it out." Inform the battalions to detonate the arms and oil in Guantai Village at all costs! ”

The operational staff officer in charge of conveying the order hurriedly got up and said loudly: "Yes, brigade seat!" As he spoke, he hurriedly took Zhao Yunxiang's warrant and hurried to the communication company.

As the radio ticked out, orders were quickly transmitted to the attacking battalions...... (To be continued......)
