In just over half an hour, the two gun towers had been captured separately.
After clearing out the remaining enemies, Platoon Leader Yang followed Li Yunlong's instructions in advance and led the soldiers to carefully search the entire stronghold, focusing on things that looked very old.
Li Yunlong, on the other hand, directly took two Qiwu Mountain Cannons and started heading towards the Qinghe Village stronghold along the highway.
Here, just as Platoon Leader Yang took down two gun towers, Zhang Dabiao also waited for his target.
"Three rapid fires!" Zhang Dabiao issued the attack order through the walkie-talkie. The battalion's five 60 mortars and the accompanying artillery battery's four 81mm mortars took the lead in firing.
"Boom, boom, boom...", the Japanese and puppet troops who were still marching quickly were instantly turned upside down by the bomb.
The sound of the explosion was an order. The soldiers ambushing on both sides of the road opened fire quickly. The powerful firepower came down quickly. The puppet troops who had not yet reacted to the bombardment suffered heavy casualties in an instant!
The little Japanese quickly lay down to avoid the bombardment, and many others escaped the bombardment and struggled to fight back amid the roar of Second Lieutenant Yamaguchi.
Unfortunately, the firepower of the Second Battalion was completely beyond the expectations of the little Japanese. They were completely suppressed and could not move, so they could only be passively bombed on the road.
Before the soldiers of the second battalion could launch a charge, the little devil could no longer hold on.
"Locust on board!", the remaining dozen or so little Japs launched a suicidal charge under the roar of Second Lieutenant Yamaguchi.
Unfortunately, this momentum did not affect the soldiers at all, but they were wiped out by two MG-42 machine guns!
After suffering very few casualties, the Second Battalion completely wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops.
"Fourth Company, you leave some people to clean the battlefield, and the rest of the personnel rush to the Qinghe Stronghold!" Zhang Dabiao left a small number of people to clean the battlefield, and immediately led the Second Battalion non-stop along the road to the Qinghe Stronghold.
Not long after, Zhang Dabiao led the Second Battalion to surround the Qinghe Village stronghold and began a tentative attack. "Fourth Company, you are responsible for the frontal attack on the east side, and Fifth Company, you cover from the north flank!"
The Qinghe Village stronghold is different from the previous Dazhai and Xiaozhai strongholds. The blockhouse is built on the top of a slope facing the river and is thicker. The blockhouse overlooks the river to the south and the road to the north.
The west and north sides of the blockhouse are steep slopes, and only the east and south sides are gentle slopes. The east side is connected to Qinghe Village not far away, and the south side is Xiaoqing River not far away.
Deep trenches were dug around the entire stronghold, and the only drawbridge was on the east side.
And the most important thing is that after some exploratory attacks, Zhang Dabiao discovered that in addition to the gun towers and barracks on the top of the slope, the Japs also built machine gun bunkers in two hidden corners!
The turrets formed a complementary angle. The turrets watched the north and west sides, and the two machine gun bunkers blocked the east and south attack routes very well.
Moreover, although the Qinghe stronghold's telephone line for external assistance was cut off immediately, if the call cannot be contacted for a long time, it will inevitably attract the little Japs from other strongholds!
Zhang Dabiao was thinking about the direction and path of his next attack. Behind him, Li Yunlong had already brought two Qiwu Mountain Cannons, joined the rest of the troops, and came over with the capture.
After learning the specific situation from Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong took a closer look and immediately arranged new tactics.
"Da Biao, let the artillery company use the Qiwu Mountain Cannon to deal with the artillery tower!"
"Send a company of men straight to the east drawbridge, and use two mortars to use smoke grenades to cover the bunker's machine gun range!
"The rest of the artillery fire will be aimed at the forward direction of this company, providing fire coverage until they rush to the suspension bridge. Use bazooka! Lift those two turtle shells for me!"
"Finally all charge forward to eliminate the remaining enemies!"
Li Yunlong's order was issued, and Zhang Dabiao quickly arranged it. With the walkie-talkie, the order was transmitted very quickly, and the soldiers of the Second Battalion instantly changed their offensive.
At this time, in the high artillery tower, the little Japanese certainly noticed the changes in the Eighth Route Army. They originally thought that the other party had no skills and could only attack by force. Unexpectedly, the other party actually had cannons!
Although the little devil is still emphasizing that the artillery towers can withstand shelling, the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells must not be many, so don't shake the morale of the army!
But the puppet soldiers looked at each other, and their thoughts immediately changed.
Originally, the use of artillery strongholds to divide and encircle the Eighth Route Army's base areas was bullied because they did not have the firepower to attack the enemy, but now they have artillery!
As soon as the idea came to an end, the bombardment had already begun. Two shells were fired, one hit directly and the other grazed the wall and flew diagonally.
Behind a shooting hole near the explosion point, a little Japanese was knocked backwards by the shock. Although smoke and dust were scattered everywhere, he did not get a big hole opened by a single shot.
From the outside, a depression the size of a pot mouth was left on the wall of the turret, but it had no impact on the overall structure of the turret.
This gave the little devils a certain amount of confidence and made them clamor even louder.
At this time, as the bombardment began, the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion and the 5th Company had already begun to charge. The two bunkers that were braving the gunfire were each shrouded in a thick white mist. They lost their sight and could not clearly see the shooting range. Little devils The machine gunner can only blindly fire based on feeling.
The remaining Japs and puppet troops outside were suppressed by intensive artillery fire, and the pressure of the fifth company's charge suddenly decreased.
The little Japs in the gun building who were originally going to shoot at the Fifth Company now had no chance at all.
Li Yunlong discovered that in order to cause effective damage to this turret, high-explosive bombs needed to hit the same explosive point multiple times. If Wang Chengzhu was there, it would be no problem at all, but it would be almost impossible for others.
Simply, Li Yunlong, who had sufficient ammunition, directly asked the artillery battery to use armor-piercing projectiles.
The armor-piercing bullet accurately hit the turret and penetrated the wall effortlessly.
In the turret, a little devil who was still shouting about using machine guns to kill the Eighth Route Army suddenly stopped.
In the frightened eyes of the puppet soldiers, the little devil was broken into two pieces. The light shone through the hole and fell on the two parts of the little devil's body, allowing the people on this floor to see clearly. Chu.
"vomit!!!"
The puppet army couldn't help but vomited.
Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the entire turret changed. The sense of security brought by the thick walls was gone. No one knew whether they would follow the same footsteps in the next second!
One shot after another, and soon, under the attack of armor-piercing bullets, the turret was riddled with holes and became shaky.
The soldiers of the fifth company successfully rushed to the suspension bridge, and a bazooka hit the winch of the suspension bridge on the opposite side of the trench.
"Boom! Crash...bang!"
The suspension bridge crashed down, and the soldiers roared and rushed across the suspension bridge.
The next second, the two machine gun bunkers were also used by the soldiers to lift the Tianling cover with super bazooka!
Immediately, a loud charge horn sounded from behind, and the second battalion launched an all-out charge.
The smoke was filled with the sound of fierce firefights and the light of exploding grenades.
The little Japanese and puppet soldiers had no room for resistance and were quickly eliminated one by one by the soldiers of the second battalion.
At this time, it was ten minutes at noon. Zhang Dabiao came to Li Yunlong and said, "Report to the leader, no more, no less, the time is just right!"
Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, "Hahaha, good job!"
"Monk, let me know, let's have dinner!"
