The artillery shells from the 88th Division Artillery Battalion fell into the Japanese fortifications as if they had eyes, knocking off the fortresses one by one, and the Japanese hiding inside were also blown to pieces.
Compared with the Iron Turtle of the headquarters, although the fortifications at the Hongjiang Road stronghold are also reinforced concrete structures, their sturdiness is incomparable. A thin layer can withstand the blow of an 82mm mortar;
The divisional artillery battalion of the 88th Division is equipped with 12 German-made 75mm mountain guns. This is not something that the fortifications of the Japanese stronghold can withstand.
The artillery battalion has a commando team that provides detailed coordinates of the Japanese fortifications. They only need to adjust the shooting of Zhu Yuanbo, so the effect of the artillery bombardment is very ideal;
After only a quarter of an hour of artillery preparations, most of the Japanese fortifications on Hongjiang Road were destroyed, and the Japanese hiding inside suffered heavy casualties.
In order not to give the Japanese artillery a chance to retaliate, the artillery battalion only prepared for 15 minutes of artillery fire, and then began to move its position. By the time the Japanese's four heavy artillery responded, the division artillery battalion had already moved its position, and the Japanese heavy artillery bombardment A loneliness.
"Brothers, charge!"
Before the preparations for the artillery fire were over, Luo Ying gave the order to attack. They did not shout like other troops when they charged, but held their guns and charged in silence;
The distance from their starting position to the Japanese defense line was only more than 300 meters. In the case of a high-speed charge, it only took one or two minutes. Before the Japanese could react, they rushed into the Japanese stronghold, and MP28 submachine guns rang out everywhere. The sound of firing swept down the panicked Japanese one by one.
After the commando broke into the Japanese defense line, it was divided into three parts. The third company attacked the Japanese artillery position, and the second company continued to attack the Japanese center until the Japanese defense line was penetrated;
The first company and battalion attacked the Japanese headquarters, occupied the Japanese headquarters as quickly as possible, and then used the radio to call the main force.
Luo Ying and the communications squad followed the company and went straight to the Japanese headquarters.
In the Japanese headquarters, Major Nishimura, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of violent shelling and said angrily:
"Bagaya Road, where is the cannon fired?"
As soon as he finished scolding, he suddenly came to his senses, and his face turned pale. He was experienced in the battlefield and had already figured out what was going on. Even a fool could think that the Chinese attack should be ahead of schedule!
All their pre-war preparations were based on dawn, two hours in advance, which caught them off guard.
Fortunately, he didn't take off his clothes. He just slept with his clothes on. When he heard the sound of the cannon, he jumped out of the cot and went straight to the headquarters. He had to call for naval gun support.
When he rushed to the command room, Major Tanaka was already calling for naval gun support. This made him feel a little more at ease, and he immediately asked Major Tanaka:
"Tanaka-kun, have you figured out what's going on? Is the Chinese attack ahead of schedule?"
After all, Major Tanaka was a staff officer, and commanding operations was his shortcoming. Before Major Nishimura appeared, he was already confused and could only think of calling for naval gun support.
The preparation of the naval force is also based on the dawn time. Many commanders are also catching up on sleep at this time. Besides, it will take time for them to react and calculate the position of the Chinese artillery. During this period, they can only rely on themselves to withstand the Chinese artillery. Human attack.
When Tanaka saw Nishimura finally coming, he suddenly had a backbone in his heart. He pulled Nishimura and said:
"The Chinese artillery fire was fierce and very accurate. They did not attack any of the false targets we prepared in advance. The artillery shells were like eyes. They attacked important targets of the imperial army. It seems that the assault team was responsible for the attack. coordinates provided by their artillery;
We have overlooked that if the special operations unit carries a radio, it can indicate targets to the artillery. The Chinese commander is a special operations expert! "
Nishimura suddenly felt the urge to curse. He didn't have time to listen to Tanaka bragging about how powerful the Chinese were. The first priority at the moment was to withstand the Chinese attack.
Nishimura picked up the telescope and rushed out of the command room. He had to figure out the real-time situation on the battlefield;
The Chinese shelling has stopped, which means that the commando team has begun to take action, and their real pressure is here!
As soon as he rushed out of the command post, he heard intensive gunfire in the defense area, all of which were continuous-firing firearms. Being experienced in the battlefield, he knew it was the sound of MP28, as well as a small number of Mauser rifles and grenade explosions. The voice was definitely that of the Chinese commando team, and their offensive was very fierce.
After a while, their four heavy artillery pieces began to fire in the direction of the Chinese artillery, but he knew that this was of no use. Even destroying the Chinese artillery positions would not help them;
The commando's attack was in close combat, and the cannons could not be equipped with bayonets. Several firepower points with high hopes had already ignited with blazing flames, indicating that they had been destroyed by Chinese artillery fire...
"Bagaya road!"
Nishimura couldn't help but curse, then turned around and returned to the headquarters, shouting loudly as he walked:
"Quickly, pick up your weapons and prepare to fight!"
Just by hearing the gunshots, he knew that the commandos would never let go of their headquarters. Maybe someone was already coming towards them.
The headquarters suddenly became more panicked. The staff officers and communications personnel took out their self-defense weapons and rushed out of the headquarters in a swarm.
Major Tanaka's face turned pale. As an academic, he had never experienced such a big scene. He was frightened when he thought of the terrifying combat effectiveness of the special operations forces. The weapons in their hands could not stop the Chinese people. He's going to fall here——
"Ta-ta-ta-ta..."
I really have nothing to worry about, the Chinese are really coming...
Outside the headquarters, Luo Ying rushed to the front with an MP28 submachine gun. Surrounding him were brothers from the guard platoon, each armed with a submachine gun and the firepower was quite fierce.
The civilian staff of the Japanese headquarters ran into their guns as soon as they rushed out, and they were swept to the ground with just one round of fire;
Seeing that the situation was not good, Major Nishimura immediately retreated to the headquarters and planned to fight stubbornly. Major Nakata was so frightened in the headquarters that his legs trembled. The fighting will of the Japanese navy was incomparable to that of the army.
Nishimura glanced at Tanaka with contempt, and then said coldly:
"Tanaka-kun, fight like a warrior!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several grenades being thrown in with light smoke. He was sure to die. He picked up the gun and aimed at Major Tanaka...
Tanaka was shot several times, looked at Nishimura unwillingly, and cursed:
"idiot--"
"Boom boom boom!"
The smoke from the grenade explosion engulfed him and Nishimura together. Several soldiers from the guard platoon took the opportunity to rush into the headquarters. Before anyone arrived, the guns arrived first. Regardless of whether there were any Japs inside, they just fired long bursts until the magazines were emptied.
When the smoke cleared, there was not a single Japs standing in the headquarters!
The soldiers who were the first to enter were still relieved. After replacing a magazine, they began to reload their guns. Only after each corpse had been reloaded did they feel relieved.
Luo Ying also led others into the Japs headquarters. At a glance, he saw the huge sand table inside. The densely packed blue and white flags on it made him excited. He couldn't help laughing and said:
"Haha, God help me!"
