The fierce battle in Suqian was already the key to this battle, and Dong Ku's attention was all about it. However, if you want to go all out to Suqian to fight this battle, you must take Huai'an.

At the time of the fierce battle in Suqian, the flamethrower had cleared the last ditch used by the Japanese army for strangulation. It was only at this time that the soldiers noticed that there were firing ports on both sides of the embankment, and it was obvious that the Japanese army really used the trench more than 50 meters wide as a meat grinding ground.

Seeing the flames erupting from the internal grenade or ammunition, everyone's backs straightened, and their scalps tingled.

If it weren't for the flamethrower that ignited the wood in the entire tunnel, at this time, the soldiers who entered the ditch would not know how many casualties they would have suffered. They rushed forward, at most they threw grenades into the tunnel, and then looked for the portal to enter, but they did not know that the portal was at the second embankment fifty meters away, and when the soldiers rushed down the embankment, the machine guns on both sides would make the soldiers who entered it lifeless.

Dong Ku soon learned this information, he knew the cunning and ferocity of the Japanese, and the stupid suicidal spirit of the Japanese at any cost in order to destroy the enemy, which is the so-called bushido.

After receiving this information, he hurriedly ordered the troops to stay at the backmost ridge and wait for the surrounding area to be cleared before advancing.

Zuo Boyang and the others didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in the Japanese army, and they looked at Dong Ku in puzzlement. After all, with a platoon shot, the fighters can rush through a kilometer and enter the next trench, and with a depth of more than ten kilometers, they will definitely be able to break through in two hours.

Dong Kuzhi said that everyone would have doubts, and he did not rush to give an order, but explained: "The Japanese are petty nationalists, not to mention the group, and there is also the spirit of bushido that they admire, and the foolish loyalty who sacrificed their lives for the emperor. These are all small indoctrination, deep-rooted, how many surrendered Japanese troops have you encountered on the battlefield? Most of them have to pull on their backs when they are dying, and they will not surrender to the death. ”

Sun Tao fought with the Japanese army in Heilongjiang, and of course he knew the situation of the Japanese army. Then he nodded and said, "That's right, unless the commander orders to give up resistance, the Japanese army rarely surrenders." ”

Dong Ku pointed to the map, "You see, the Japanese army has set up three trenches here for strangulation, if it weren't for the flamethrowers that burned down the tunnel on the back, I'm afraid we wouldn't have enough troops to fill in a few regiments." These. It is just a superficial way, the encircled Japanese army has obviously received the order to fight to the death, then, they will set up various attack methods within a depth of more than ten kilometers, even suicide attack bunkers, individual bunkers, etc., with explosives, mines. Or simply machine guns, grenades. Inflict maximum damage on us in order to inflict heavy damage on us. ”

Dong Ku's explanation made the hearts of several people in the headquarters sink, and they felt that the difficulty of taking Huai'an was much more than expected.

When Zuo Boyang was explaining to Dong Ku, his heart moved, and he keenly felt that Dong Ku knew the Japanese quite well.

He didn't guess wrong, Dong Ku has the memory of later generations. It is natural to know how the Japanese army fought in China, and even more so about the way the Japanese fought on Iwo Jima and other islands during the Pacific War, when Britain and the United States counterattacked on all fronts. When it comes to killing enemies, the Japanese don't pay attention to rules. Just to achieve the goal, the ability to endure hardships is rare in the world, and the degree of yin damage is rare in the world.

Retracting his gaze from the map, Dong Ku shook his head and said, "It seems that we can't keep the artillery inside." ”

After Zuo Boyang finished speaking, he took over the conversation, "If this is the case, in order to reduce casualties, we must postpone the time of capture, and use the method of steady advancement and heavy artillery to open the way, and advance one hundred meters and one hundred meters." ”

"Yes."

Dong Ku also had this plan, he added: "Sun Tao, notify the front line to accurately report the coordinates, a bullet impact point of 300 meters, a group of ten guns to fire, in addition, destroy all the artillery of the Japanese army, and order the second echelon to carry twice the amount of grenades each, and carry four gas shells, and each person carry a box of gas bombs to the front line." ”

"Yes!"

Sun Tao was ordered to assign tasks and convey orders.

"Liu Zhong, order the flamethrower team not to be stingy with oil, even if it is a small hole, use a flamethrower."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhong rarely saw Dong Ku so cautious, and while receiving the order, he was also very interested in what method the Japanese army would use.

At the same time as Miyake Mitsuji was arranging in Dong Ku, he already knew that Miyake Dao could no longer use the three ditches to strangle the enemy, so he ordered all the staff to stick to it and crucify it in their respective positions.

As soon as his order was given, a whimpering whistling sound sounded in the sky, and then, the earth shook violently, and the feeling of a landslide and a cracked ground erupted throughout Huai'an.

The loud roar circled around the front of the most rearmost ridge 500 meters away, advanced inward, determined the coordinates, the shelling no longer needed the coordinates behind, after the bombardment, extended left and right, and extended inward.

The violent explosion made the sky shrouded in thick black smoke, so that the entire Huai'an was obscured by dust, and outside, the existence of Huai'an was no longer visible, and a huge gray ball was formed thousands of kilometers away from Dongku.

In the position, the soldiers of the advance army were violently shaken and bumped, and they hid under the ridge one by one, curled up, opened their mouths, and tried to slow down their breathing, reducing the damage caused by the huge earthquake and shock wave to the body.

Although they were five or six hundred meters away from the center of the explosion, the roar and the huge earthquake still affected them.

The roaring loud bang was mixed with more bangs, one after another loud bangs roared in the depths of the position, and huge fireballs drilled out thick dust and smoke from time to time and rushed higher into the sky.

Huai'an, like a flat boat in the sea, rises and falls, glass, all shattered, and in the sound of clattering, a little bit of crystal light falls on the dim street.

Miyake Mitsuji was shaken by the violent shaking in the city, and in the shock, he understood why those places were easily breached by the advance army. With such a powerful bombardment, even if the position is still in hand, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is almost zero.

"Order, stick to it after entering the worst, and fight for each !!"

Miyake Mitsuji struggled to gain a foothold, and in the dust falling above his head, he gave the most obscure order, and then, picked up the command knife on the table, and picked up the southern pistol. Staggered to the confidential room.

In the loud bang, the crowd ran quickly, and the family carried a box on their shoulders and rushed wildly towards the Japanese position in the distance filled with gunsmoke.

The violent concussions staggered their feet, and from time to time someone fell, but then they were pulled up by their companions. In the shock waves, he struggled forward, rushing towards the most rearmost ridge.

The shelling, after a circle of bombardment, began to extend inside, and the reinforcements also rushed to the bottom of the ridge, and immediately, the fighters moved quickly, and their bodies were covered with grenades. The backpack was also stuffed with grenades, a combat team of fifteen people, two carrying fuel fillers and gas cylinders, one carrying a full set of jets, and the rest of the one-color AKs and gas masks, all on their heads.

"Slow search forward!"

The order came from the temporary command that had moved to the rear of the ridge. Dong Ku and the others also moved forward to the headquarters at this time to ensure that the five-kilometer coverage of the walkie-talkie could be transmitted to the troops close to the headquarters.

The shelling is extending. The troops under the ridge began to move, in groups. In the dust, I crossed the ridge, and after confirming that the back of the ridge was safe, I searched forward.

The shelling destroyed almost everything on the surface, and also blew up large craters that were not craters.

The search team is advancing. I saw the dead Japanese soldiers in the big pits, and the wooden poles that did not fly. Obviously, this is an independent bunker set up by the Japanese army, a non-concrete bunker, and there are only a dozen corpses of Japanese soldiers in it. Estimated number of people in a squad.

The team stopped talking at this time, and they all used gestures to communicate with each other, and the squad leader who led the team waved his hand, and after inspecting several adjacent large pits, he confirmed that all the Japanese soldiers in those pits had been killed, and then continued to move forward safely.

The big craters and the machine guns in the pits made them realize that this was probably waiting for the troops to rush over, suddenly lift the cover, and set up a place for machine gun firing, and the boxes of drums inside were enough to show how much damage these machine guns would bring to the charging team before they were knocked out.

Tian Wang led a group of soldiers and walked forward cautiously, searching and advancing in the dust almost like night, not daring to advance, and the bayonet that had never been hung was also propped up on the submachine gun, ready to meet the attack at any time.

After searching all the way, they slowly advanced in the loud roar ahead, and after more than 20 minutes, within a distance of 1,000 meters, Tian Wang alone saw at least 30 simple bunkers covered with wooden poles, covered with grass and soil.

Along the way, they became more and more careful, because not all of the bunkers were blown away by the explosion, and the edges of the shock wave only exposed holes, or leaked parts, and there were still Japanese soldiers in it who did not die, but their ears were deaf and their eyes could not see clearly.

During the march, Tian Wang saw that there seemed to be a shadow flashing in front of him in the gloom, so he raised his hand to signal, and the team quickly squatted down, aiming the muzzle of the gun at the front.

In the sound of the explosion, no sound could be heard, so everyone had to widen their eyes and be vigilant about their surroundings.

After a few seconds, Tian Wang confirmed that there was no movement in front of him, and then slowly stood up, ready to give the order to move forward.

Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly heard the crunch of something in his ears, and before he could gesticulate, the gun in his hand clicked, and the bullet flew in the direction of the sound.

The soldiers were originally rushing forward with their muzzles, and at the moment when the squad leader's guns rang out, the bullets were fired intensively in the direction of Tian Wang's shot.

During the shooting, there was no movement in front of him, and in the fog, there was nothing unusual in front of him.

Tian Wang fired three or four shots, and more than a dozen bullets came out, but there was no reaction from the other side.

Is it a delusion?

He was just about to give the order to stop firing, when suddenly there was a bang in front of him, and a ball of fire flashed in the dust.

The flashing firelight made everyone's gunfire more intense, and it wasn't until a shuttle of bullets was cleared and the magazine was replaced that Tian Wang raised his hand to signal to stop shooting,

Flamethrower!

He raised his hand and made a few gestures, and then, the soldier who was already lying on the ground pulled the trigger, and a pop of flames erupted.

"Ahh

"Long live the Emperor!"

Everywhere the flames passed, two shouts suddenly sounded, and then in the dust, two burning men rushed over, both holding grenades in their hands.

Da Da ......

The moment the soldiers saw the burning man, they did not hesitate to shoot him, and then, with two loud bangs, the two burning men were shattered by their own grenades.

"Holy!"

Tian Wang's scalp was numb for a while, if he hadn't heard that movement just now, he would probably have confessed to more than a dozen people.

"Go ahead carefully!"

Tian Wang's heart fluttered, and he waved his hand to order.

When they walked to the place where the flames were still burning in front of them, they saw that this was also a bunker, but it was also collapsed, and a dead body with a blown leg next to the entrance of the cave was lying there, full of holes, obviously the guy who had prepared to drop the bomb before.

But there were no guns around, and it was estimated that the guns couldn't be dug up, so these little devils attacked with grenades and didn't retreat.

As soon as they saw the situation clearly, they suddenly remembered the fierce gunfire and the roaring explosion from a distance of five or six hundred meters, and in just a few seconds, the walkie-talkie called for support, and the team was attacked, four people were killed, three were injured, and it was difficult to continue moving.

Tian Wang already knew the danger of moving forward at this time, and after a few gestures in a row, everyone quietly continued to move forward. As for the team on the side, naturally there are teammates behind to pick them up, and the route they are responsible for cannot be taken blindly, otherwise, it is easy to misunderstand with their comrades in the dust.

As they moved slowly, they heard the sound of hay churning, and without an order, all the guns clicked in that direction, and then, while the flamethrowers were on the opposite side, a fire dragon erupted.

The fire dragon passed, and there was no movement in front of it.

Tian Wang already knew the shape of the bunker, and he estimated that it was similar to the previous one, all at the angle of the edge of the explosion, and was not shocked by destruction.

He changed his magazine, waved his hand and surrounded the front, and thirty or forty meters later, in the firelight, he saw a dark shadow.

The dark shadow slowly revealed its true face in sight, and it turned out to be a half-collapsed wall, stained with fuel and burning fiercely. Behind the wall, a Japanese soldier was burned to the ground, and a 38 cover was thrown aside.

Just one person?

Everyone was startled, and quickly crouched and searched the surroundings.

Tian Wang's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw that there was a hole behind the burning corpse, and immediately, a grenade was taken off and thrown into it.

Rumble!

There was a scream from the explosion, and the moment the dust poured out, several figures rushed out of it.

Before the soldiers could shoot, the flamethrower spewed out flames first, and then, several people turned into fire men, and in the sound of the gunshot, it was not even two seconds, and there were several loud bangs, several fire men were torn apart, and half of the earth wall was also destroyed by the shock wave.

In the dust, Tian Wang and the others crawled up with gray faces and buzzing ears, and saw the earthen wall that had disappeared for most of them, and at the same time that the flamethrower sealed the entrance to the cave, they beat the soil off their heads with palpitations.

Tian Wang pulled off the gas mask and shouted loudly: "Report the loss!" ”

"There were no casualties in the team!"

Everyone took a brief look at it and panted in shock. (To be continued......)
