Chapter 51: Second Battalion Commander! What the hell about your infantry artillery!

When Kong Jie came to Niangziguan Village with two battalions of soldiers, the village had been completely controlled by the second battalion, and there were even several traitors tied up at the entrance of the village.

It turns out that there are not many enemies here.

When the devils saw that the train station below was under attack, they were immediately anxious. After all, the defense here is a trinity, but if one is lost, the other two will be more or less implicated.

Let's not talk about whether they will be held accountable by their superiors after the war, they can't afford to bear the pot of the loss of the railway alone.

So when the second battalion came to the village, there were only five devils and ten puppet soldiers left to maintain law and order. Although the common people did not dare to face the murderous devils, it was no problem to secretly lead the way for the Eighth Route Army.

With the help of the locals, the clearance task progressed quickly. Every common man in the village was the eyes of the warriors, and there was nowhere to go if these enemies wanted to escape.

After dealing with the traitors, the independent regiment quickly assembled at the entrance of the village, and they took out the ladder that had been prepared long ago and rushed to the mountain of Niangzi Pass.

Although I don't know why there are no enemies in the turret, it is definitely right to take advantage of his illness to kill him, and these four scourges will have an accident here sooner or later.

Just as the warriors were carrying ladders and trying to approach the mountain, the devils on the gate tower of the pass finally couldn't help it.

The little ones first turned on the searchlight, and then the unique sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun was heard, mixed with crooked handles and 38 large covers.

This sudden attack immediately caused several comrades to fall to the ground, but fortunately, Kong Jie had already arranged his tactics.

The first battalion was responsible for erecting ladders and blasting, while the second battalion was keeping an eye on the walls and turrets. A few seconds after the searchlights came on, the 2nd Battalion's precision shooters and machine gunners began to return fire.

A dozen MAS-36s and several light machine guns, firing at the sudden appearance of the enemy. Although it was difficult to hit the target at one time at this distance, the quality was insufficient to make up for the quantity, and soon all the firing points and searchlights were dumb.

This firepower alone could not suppress the large number of hundreds of people, and the health guards quickly carried the wounded fighters back to the village for treatment, while the remaining comrades continued the work that had just been completed.

The picture shifted to the Niangzi Pass, and when the comrades of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region began to attack, the devils in the city immediately began to act.

They climbed the gate as fast as they could, and built up a firepower point. However, most of the defenders were taken away by Ikeda's motorized forces, and the remaining garrisons were of limited use.

What's more, they are also responsible for protecting the railway bridge on the east side of Niangzi Kanto, and the amount of task is no lighter than that of their colleagues at the train station, even if they want to support, they are powerless.

The view from the city gate was very good, and they also had binoculars, so they naturally saw that their comrades in the village below were ambushed. But the ensign who remained behind ordered everyone not to shoot.

This was because he considered that at that distance, other weapons other than heavy machine guns could be of very limited use. Rifle and light machine gun bullets don't know where they go, and it's a waste of bullets.

But if the heavy machine gun is firing now, it exposes the point of fire from its side.

After the Eighth Route Army occupies the village, it will definitely use this place as a springboard. When the time comes, when they attack the pass, the heavy machine gun can still kill some people.

For the sake of his own life and future, this devil lieutenant can only die a fellow Daoist and not a poor Dao.

But now that they are suppressed, the devils have nothing to do with it. Now this situation is completely waiting for death, and the few firing ports are all stared at by the Eighth Route Army below, revealing a wave of bullets.

If they don't do anything, after the Eighth Route Army finishes blowing up the turret, it will be their time of death.

At this moment, the devil lieutenant heard a familiar roar. The sound of the motorcycle engine that used to disturb his rest and make him nervous when he heard it was now his savior.

The little devil explained the current situation to the nearby heralds, and then sent them to report the current battle situation to Ikeda Kameichi.

As for why he didn't go on his own? And that's not because of the traditional customs of the Army. Now if I go there in person, I will definitely be slapped.

Things didn't turn out as expected, and the herald followed the voice to find his lieutenant. From afar, he saw the other party running wildly with red eyes and holding his command knife.

This made him feel a little frightened, after all, he also reported the previous news.

When he saw the herald, Ikeda immediately stopped.

"Report Captain! We are now under attack by the Eighth Route Army! The garrison on the mountainside had been completely wiped out, and the station at the foot of the hill was temporarily dragging the pace of the enemy's attack. ”

"According to the judgment of Second Lieutenant Nagashima, our department is facing an attack by a regiment of the Eighth Route Army! No heavy weapons have been detected in the enemy. ”

Hearing this, this devil's face has turned the color of pig liver. Especially when he heard the enemy's strength, it was as if the herald in front of him was silently laughing at him.

Fortunately, he still has some kung fu to nourish his qi, but unfortunately there are not many of them. He first divided his devils into two parts, and sent the more people to the four turrets, and the fewer people to the city gate tower.

When he saw that the herald in front of him did not make any movement, Ikeda Kameichi slapped the other party in the face.

"What are you waiting for? Don't know that the enemy is attacking? If you are in a daze, the enemy will put a bayonet in your face! ”

After being defeated, the herald covered his face with some grievances. He was now eager to stab the other party to death, and he had already told the other party about it at the beginning.

But thinking of his mother and wife in the country, he finally lost the courage to resist, and could only stumble towards the city gate like a walking corpse.

When the large army returned, the four turrets and the defenders on the city gate formed a linkage.

In the dark, under the vision provided by the flares, the fire of a dozen machine guns intertwined to form a network of fire.

The casualties of the Separate Regiment began to increase, but for the time being, they were acceptable. Even elite devil veterans are difficult to guarantee their hit rate at this distance.

After withdrawing to the village for the time being, the commander of the first battalion was a little depressed. He was complaining that he didn't catch the fighter, and if he could climb the mountain in the first place, he would have blown up at least two pillboxes by now.

Thinking of this, his eyes were full of war intent, so he walked up to Kong Jie and said seriously:

"Commander, let me rush again with my comrades! This time, our first battalion is guaranteed to take down the devil's turret! ”

Although the casualties of the soldiers made Kong Jie a little distressed, Ci was not in charge of the troops, and now the two sides were still fighting, even if they were sad, they had to wait until the battle was over.

Looking at the subordinates who came to him to ask for battle, Kong Jie first asked the other party to sit on the ground and calm down.

During the war, the army will be thrown into disarray, and the impact on the efficiency of the attack will be a trivial matter, and the most serious consequence will be to allow the enemy to find an opportunity to increase casualties.

He looked at his battalion commander and said:

"Do you remember why our regiment took the initiative to take over this feint mission? Have you forgotten what the brigade commander gave us before leaving? ”

"What a year! Still using ladders to siege the city! ”

Saying this, Kong Jie stood up abruptly and looked at the second battalion not far away. Before the commander of the first battalion came back to his senses, he shouted:

"Second battalion commander! What the hell about your infantry artillery! Pull it up for Lao Tzu!

"I'd like to see if you will! Call me! Aim directly! Fuck it! ”

The Eighth Route Army did not have many opportunities to attack the county seat, and the few times so far were directly commanded by the division headquarters. Kong Jie had no such experience before this, so the independent regiment lacked experience in this mission.

The ability to hit the city gate tower and the artillery tower on the mountain is also very limited. As a result, the troops suffered casualties in the first wave of the attack.

But he Kong Jie is just upright, and he is not stupid. Now that the hard bones have appeared, it is definitely necessary to take out a strengthened version of the Type 92 infantry cannon to fight.

The reason why it was not used at the beginning was because the brigade commander gave only twenty shells, each of which had to be used in critical places. There was definitely no one in the devil's turret at that time, and using explosives packs was the best option.

Although the Independent Regiment is now relatively wealthy, it is not to the extent that such heavy weapons can be used casually.

Moreover, this is the only long-range attack weapon in the regiment, and if the fire is exposed in advance, the enemy will definitely find a way to sabotage.

The commander of the second battalion, who received the order, immediately summoned his own artillery platoon, and the artillery team began to assemble the cannon on the spot. These specialized fighters are much faster than the workers in the logistics department, and can be launched in a matter of minutes.

After seeing that the strengthened version of the Type 92 infantry gun was ready, Kong Jie pointed at the leftmost turret with his big blade and shouted:

"Quick! Loaded me with a hit! Hit hard! ”

With a deafening sound, a large gap was opened in the second turret on the left side of the mountain. And the shell also seemed to hit the devil's ammunition depot, causing a series of explosions.

Although it was not the intended target, it still hit the devil's turret hard. Judging by this situation, the enemy over there will definitely not be able to fight in a short period of time.

The commander of the second battalion slapped the artilleryman on the back, this was also the first time he commanded a body-barreled artillery operation, and he actually achieved such a rich result.

"You kid is really good, he usually doesn't show the mountain and doesn't leak, and when he makes a move, it's a ruthless move! Fast! Keep playing! There are four more goals. ”

Being praised by his superiors like this, this artilleryman also has confidence in his heart. Although he was not aiming at a target, it seemed that the correct use of the cannon had been discovered.

Ikeda Kameichi at the city gate was now greatly shocked, and the Eighth Route Army's move was completely unexpected. Originally, he was very satisfied with the stalemate between the two sides, after all, Niangzi Pass was on the railway line, and the reinforcements would definitely be faster than the enemy.

But now that their squadron had become a meal for the enemy, the only strong fortifications they could rely on were no longer working.

The rate of fire of the reinforced Type 92 infantry gun could reach 8 rounds per minute, and at the cost of 7 shells, the independent regiment successfully tore through the defense line of the devils, and everyone poured into Niangzi Pass.

Standing on a dirt slope, the trumpeter sounded the trumpet of the attack, and this time no enemy could hit him.

The sporadic resistance of the enemy did not help, and only ten minutes passed before the enemy in the pass was cleared by the fighters of the Independent Regiment.

The whole battle took only thirty minutes, and a soldier of the third battalion planted the banner of victory on the gate of Niangzi Pass.

The compatriots, who have lived under the iron hooves of the devil for nearly three years, were so excited that they shed tears when they saw the banner of the Eighth Route Army floating high at the juncture.

Ask for everything, ask for everything!
