Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Eighth Route Army Has Poisonous Gas?

The headquarters of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Kong Jie was sitting in a dilapidated house with his three battalion commanders, when they had just received orders directly from headquarters.

"Enjoyable! It's so enjoyable! This battle is getting more and more interesting! It was actually the headquarters that overstepped the command, and all the troops in the entire base area were mobilized! โ€

The commander of a battalion on the side of the fire kang nodded, no soldier could refuse the temptation of such a large-scale joint operation. However, he was also interested in the inside story of the matter, so he asked tentatively:

"Commander, do you know whose face is so big? The order only says that it will cooperate with the friendly forces in the area, and the feint attack will attract the attention of the devils. โ€

He thought for a moment and continued to make his point.

"I think this should be an order from the headquarters to cover a certain unit."

After listening to his battalion commander's analysis, Kong Jie knocked his cigarette pouch pot a little helplessly. The combat ability of his battalion commander is fine, but curiosity is always so heavy.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, if you really want to know the inside story, I'll take you to the brigade headquarters to inquire about the news after the mission is over."

Kong Jie looked at the battle map on the table, and he swiped his fingers over the points representing the devil's turret one by one. With a decision in mind, he announced the deployment of the moment.

"Pass my orders! A battalion assembles! Target the devil's turret, bring our newly established artillery platoon! This time, I personally led the team, even if it was a feint, we had to play with momentum. โ€

"The second battalion and the third battalion are stationed in place! In case the devils take advantage of the weakness, once there is any friction, the troops must mainly protect the people! โ€

An hour later, the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment was assembled. Kong Jie carried his big blade on his back and led the soldiers out of the regimental headquarters with a murderous spirit.

Outside the independent regimental defense area, there is a devil's turret more than ten miles away from the nearby county seat.

This is barely a transportation point, and the turret standing here has made a great contribution to the anti-guerrilla attacks of the devils and the puppet army. Moreover, this turret is close to the railway, which is perfectly in line with the blockhouse lock in the devil's cage policy.

The turret covers an area of about 130 square meters and is located on a high slope that has been artificially cushioned. The terrain is dangerous, and it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It's all made of big green bricks, and the grenadier is just tickling it. Even with explosives, it doesn't help if you use less of it.

The turret is 9.88 meters high, 8.4 meters long and 4.9 meters wide, with three and a half floors.

Unlike many people's impression of cylindrical turrets, the main body of this turret is cuboidal. The reason why it is three and a half stories is that there is a square observation deck that rises to the east of the turret.

The lookout was also equipped with searchlights, and there were several machine gun openings on the second and third floors of the turret, which made up for the quality in quantity, although the firing range was not very good.

Knowing that his artillery tower was a thorn in the flesh of the Eighth Route Army, the devils also dug a trench two meters deep and more than three meters wide around it, which was connected by a suspension bridge. Moreover, mines and barbed wire fences were arranged, and ordinary troops dared to come, and this place would become a devouring beast.

There is a small team of devils and a small number of puppet soldiers waiting for them.

The devils have long cleared all the obstacles in the surrounding area, and the weather today is very clear, and they can clearly see the activities of people within a radius of several kilometers around the lookout.

The actions of the independent regiment did not hide from the devil's vision, and the lookout sneered while looking at the Eighth Route Army assembled in the distance, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"These dirt roads are here to die again? It seems that it is still what they call a regular army. โ€

Since the construction of their turret, they have been harassed by the troops of the Republic of China almost every week, but every time there is no danger. Even if it is fenced, there are wells where a large amount of grain and straw are stored, as well as enough medicine, clothing and other military supplies.

That's why they can have nothing to fear in the face of a battalion of enemies.

Five Taisho-11 and one Type 92 heavy machine gun were more than enough to pack them up.

Even if they rush forward with human lives, barbed wire and mines can make them go and never return!

What about a lot of people? It depends on the background when you come out to mix, and they kill as many as they kill when they don't have any heavy weapons.

"All the fighters are in position, and when the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side enters the firing range, they will fire freely, and we have plenty of ammunition." The Devil Squad Leader ordered.

However, this time the Eighth Route Army acted differently than before, they first tested the position of the heavy machine guns in the turret, and then began to advance from the range where the heavy machine guns could not radiate.

The leader of the devil squad considered that even if the heavy machine gun was moved, the Eighth Route Army might change positions again, so he gave up this thankless idea.

Kong Jie and his battalion stopped at a distance of 400 meters from the turret and began to dig covertly in the bunker.

Before the attack, he specially inquired about the nearby district squad, and the comrades told him that the crooked handles in the turret had a defective range and could not be treated according to previous experience.

This makes the devils in the turret unable to go up or down, like a eunuch visiting the green building. But when he looked closely, he saw that the enemy on the opposite side was no different from before.

"It's really boring, can't you be a little innovative? There was no pressure at all, and I didn't even want to ask for help. โ€

Seeing this situation, the captain of the devil squad still did not panic. He even got bored and ordered his men to continue to observe, while he took out the treasure and began to appreciate it.

Looking at the devil's turret that was not moving four hundred meters away, Kong Jie, an honest man, actually showed a cunning smile like Li Yunlong

"Are you all ready? Today teach the devils a lesson and let them see the wisdom of the working people. โ€

"Of course!"

"Hey, the little devils have a good day today."

On Kong Jie's side, dozens of fighters had already been prepared. They use semi-wet firewood straw as a base, and dried chili peppers or something that gives off a pungent smell as the backbone.

Although the weather was sunny today, the wind was not small, and they specially chose an upwind outlet before the attack.

With Kong Jie's order, dozens of fires ignited earth poison gas at the same time, and the smoke blew directly into the devil's turret along the wind. It's a spectacular scene that can be seen even from miles away.

Kong Jie looked at the earth poison gas with some disgust, the smell was so bad that he couldn't smoke the cigarette bag pot, but the effect was really good.

"Keep an eye on their shooting holes, and watch out for them to bring that heavy machine gun over! If you find something, fire at me! Don't save bullets, hit me hard. โ€

"The mortars are aimed at their mines, and if the turret can't penetrate it, I'll make some big noise."

"The second company is preparing for geotechnical excavation, and even if it is acting, it will also arrange for me to arrange an earth-plane and an earth-earth tank. Don't forget their phone line, there's a chance to deal with it. โ€

The devils were so smoky that they doubted their lives, and there was no such thing as a gas mask in their turret, even if they used the trick of peeing, it didn't have much effect.

They hurriedly moved the heavy machine guns to the side of the earth gas, and the light machine guns did not matter whether they could hit or not, and then they opened fire, but the soldiers of the independent regiment were already waiting for them.

Da Da Da ยท

During the day, the light was abundant, and even from a distance of four hundred meters, the shooting holes on the turret were quite obvious. With the intensive care of the fighters, a barrage of bullets hit near the shooting hole, and even killed a machine gunner.

If it weren't for the constant urging of the squad leader, the sub-shooter would not have stepped forward to take over the heavy machine gun at all.

Behind the bunker, Kong Jie held a telescope and stared at the turret opposite, marking any threatening points of fire.

"There's a pretty crooked handle on the third floor, and it's arrogant to keep firing, call me!"

The devil in the turret was anxious at this time, and the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side really didn't fight according to the routine, and everyone in the entire squad would die if it went on like this.

And the telephone line was cut off by the enemy, and they seemed to be alone.

"Rice bucket! Shoot! What are you afraid of? โ€

Another machine gunner next to him was wounded by a bullet from the Eighth Route Army, and the original ammunition man said that he was unwilling to fill his position. He kicked the cowardly devil away and grabbed the ninety-two grip himself.

But he only finished firing two bullets before he was grazed by a stray bullet. He quickly withdrew and ran to the lookout to fire flares.

Rumble!

The mortar brought by Kong Jie opened fire. It's just four hundred meters, and it's just for demining, of course, it's impossible to miss.

Mortars with low initial velocity, low strength and low penetration cannot cause structural damage to the Devil's Turret. But the devil's mine is a good thing, and after it is detonated, the movement is very loud, and even the turret is shaking.

Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, a red flare was fired crookedly into the air.

The devil squadron leader in this turret finally bowed his head to the fear of death, even if he was slapped by Nakasa, who came to help, he didn't care!

After all, it's better to die than to live.

Although he didn't see with his own eyes how embarrassed the devils in the turret were, Kong Jie still felt very enjoyable.

So far, he has only three lightly wounded on his side, and the enemy has been tortured to call for help, and he is quite satisfied with this record.

But that's all it takes, the task at this point is complete, and it's time to go to the next turret. If you are bitten by the enemy's increased troops, you will be in great trouble.

And after fighting for almost half an hour, the consumption of the troops is also a bit large, after all, at present, only the strategic task has been successfully completed, but this turret has not really been defeated.

If it's really stubborn, it's not certain who loses and who earns.

"Report, our scouts have found out that the devils in the county town have been dispatched. The vanguard was dominated by cavalry, with almost one squadron. โ€

"They are coming along the road towards the turret, and there is a squadron of infantry gathering in the future, it seems that the devils are treating us like big fish."

A cavalry communications corpsman reported the message.

Kong Jie looked at the sun overhead, and then he ordered the nearby warriors:

"Everyone is ready to retreat! The army of devils is coming! โ€

"Our mission accomplished!"

"I'm asking everyone to move all after twenty minutes."

Push to death and sit up in shock
