Operation 191 begins
Everything is ready to go.
The twelve soldiers of the elite squad carefully selected by instructor Li Wenjie set off at about one o'clock in the morning.
This is the most suitable time to launch a night attack at night, and at this point, the devils and puppet soldiers in the stronghold sleep the most.
Tonight's moonlight is not bright, nor is it pitch black where you can't see your fingers, but the kind of night when you can vaguely see the road and the moonlight is hazy, which is suitable for military operations such as sneak attacks and camps.
Company commander Zhu Wu led the main force of the Ninth Company, local troops, and militia to lurk under the gentle slope a few hundred meters away from the stronghold.
Instructor Li Wenjie was also there at the moment, and before the main force launched a charge, the grenadier position was with the main force.
Looking at the elite squad soldiers who were infiltrating the devil's stronghold under the cover of the night, it could be seen through the moonlight that Li Wenjie's face was full of worry.
Zhu Wu whispered relief on the side: "Wen Jie, don't worry, the soldiers of this elite class are all selected by you one according to their personalities and abilities, and there will definitely be no mistakes." ”
"Having said that, I'm always worried, and if I don't lead the team myself, I'm always afraid that something will happen." Li Wenjie said worriedly.
Speaking in a low voice, in the sight of the two, the soldiers found the right time according to the information they had detected in advance, and smoothly approached the barbed wire fence on the periphery of the devil's stronghold.
The next step is to cut the barbed wire, open a gap that can be passed through by a cat, and then put a wooden plank on the trench filled with water, cross the trench, and take the opportunity to approach the devil's stronghold and place explosive packs.
These processes don't seem too difficult.
Before the departure of the elite class, Li Wenjie repeatedly emphasized various details in the operation.
For example, when cutting barbed wire, do not cut it all at once, and leave a part of it slowly broken with two hands at the end to prevent a clicking sound.
In the process of penetrating the devil's stronghold, the entire team must prepare a total of three guard posts, the team leader, the team tail, and the team, and the searchlight of the devil's circular probe at any time.
Once the searchlight detects, be sure to lie down and hide in time to avoid wearing reflective objects.
The planks used to pass through the devil's trench must be recovered in time to avoid being detected by the devil sentry.
All actions must follow the line that must be kept in mind in advance, avoiding the mines planted by the Japanese puppet army inside and outside the stronghold.
……
……
Although there is a lot of explanation, it seems that this is the whole process.
The elite squad is full of veterans who have fought a hundred battles.
But after all, it is a risk of dying for a lifetime, a little exposure, the consequences are unimaginable, coupled with the extremely tight defense of the stronghold during this period, the little devil is a rumor, but there is a little bit of turmoil, and the Japanese puppet army in the entire stronghold will be quickly mobilized.
So Li Wenjie is still inevitably worried.
He was afraid that something would go wrong in the middle of the way, just like the last time he attacked the devil's stronghold, due to the gap between idealized command and execution, causing additional casualties.
Of course, as it turned out, everything was different.
The veterans of the elite class cooperate tacitly, boldly but cautiously, carefully and decisively.
In Li Wenjie's worries, the veterans of the elite squad completed the task of placing the explosives bag without danger, put the wires, covered them alternately, and withdrew the barbed wire fence on the periphery of the devil's stronghold all the way from the gap, and then withdrew the wooden plank, re-plugged the gap in the barbed wire, and the other end of the wire was successfully pulled back to connect the detonator.
"Well done!" Zhu Wu praised in a low voice.
At this time, in the second step, under the command of Li Wenjie, he led the grenadiers to knock out the machine guns in the outlying strongholds of the devils.
It should be mentioned here that after the cavalry company captured a large amount of equipment from Qu County, all units of the independent regiment were strengthened by firepower.
Naturally, the Ninth Company also received an increase in firepower, strengthening a lot of light machine guns, plus three grenadiers.
In addition, the Ninth Company originally had three grenadiers, which together were six grenadiers, Zhu Wu and Li Wenjie simply got a grenadier squad in the company, two people with one cannon, one gunner, and one ammunition man.
If this had been put in the past, if several machine gun fortifications of the devils had to be knocked out, it would naturally be one grenadier in charge of the other.
But in fact, after this period of research and analysis, coupled with the performance of grenadier firepower in several battles against the devil's stronghold.
Li Wenjie has long discovered a problem, the hit rate of this grenadier is far from being as high as everyone thinks.
Even a little devil who is skilled in handling artillery wants to use a grenadier and point where to shoot, which is basically a fool's dream.
Why did the Eighth Route Army fight with the little devils here, and felt that the grenadiers of the little devils were powerful, and as soon as the machine guns on the troops' side fired, the grenadiers and shells of the devils smashed over?
That's not to say that the little devil's grenadier canister hit accurately, at least a single grenadier can't hit like that.
Instead, when the little devils use grenadier firepower, most of them use mass shelling.
Several grenadiers fire at the same time, providing coverage with a wide area of fire to increase the accuracy of hits.
In addition, the devil's artillery scouts, holding ranging binoculars, adjust the next shooting at any time according to the deviation between the target and the artillery landing point, and it is difficult for the little devil's grenadier firepower to think about it, so it is like having eyes on the battlefield, and as soon as the machine gun on the side of the Eighth Route Army sounds, the devil's grenadier shells come one after another.
In front of him, Li Wenjie, who had suffered losses, naturally learned a lesson.
He took some grenadier squads, and after advancing another 100 meters, he explained: "Where are the machine gun fortifications on the periphery of the Japanese army, when I asked you to reconnoiter during the day, you also remembered it in the bottom of your heart, and our position at the moment is about 400 meters away from the machine gun fortifications of the devils, and we have estimated this distance in advance, and it is still relatively accurate."
After a while, the three grenadiers were divided into a group, covered with group fire, and tried to succeed at one time, first blowing up the two light machine gun fortifications on the outskirts of the devil's stronghold.
After succeeding, quickly retreat and transfer from the right side of the gentle slope to beware of the devils counterattacking with artillery fire. ”
"Yes!"
Around 1:15 a.m.
Li Wenjie gave an order, "Fire!" ”
Two grenadier groups, six grenadiers, fired almost simultaneously at the Japanese stronghold.
Boom –
The violent sound of the explosion broke the silence of the night.
The fire from the mass grenadiers commanded by Li Wenjie worked.
Three grenadier shells smashed down towards the machine gun fortifications on the periphery of the stronghold, and the damage of the area greatly increased the hit rate, and in the first round of concentrated fire, the machine gun fortifications on the right side of the periphery of the Japanese stronghold were directly completely blown up, and the machine gun fortifications on the left side were lucky to avoid the explosion range, only a few meters away.
The grenadier squad leader who is responsible for the observation reports the data of the deviation of the gun impact point in time.
After a quick adjustment, the second round of shells flew out, and the machine-gun fortifications on the left side of the devil were not spared, and they were in ruins in the explosion.
The devil machine gunner, who was probably napping on the machine gun fortifications, was killed by the shell before he had time to react.
The sudden bombardment, I don't know how many devils and puppet soldiers suddenly woke up from their sleep, scared into a cold sweat.
The Eight Ways to Claim Your Life is coming!
Throughout the stronghold, the alarm sounded loudly for a while.
The devils and puppet soldiers turned over and got out of bed in a panic, grabbed the guns placed in the corner of the wall at the head of the bed, and rushed out of the stronghold.
The devils in the turret also hurriedly rushed out of the bunks and rushed to the machine guns everywhere, looking for the enemy and counterattacking.
Looking at the stronghold where the chickens and dogs jumped up, Li Wenjie laughed and ordered: "Withdraw, go to the second shelling site and stand by!" ”
