"Why hasn't the air support arrived yet? The Chinese army's firepower on the roof must be destroyed. The threat to us is too great. If we don't deal with the firepower on the roof, we won't be able to get through."
The Japanese commander complained loudly that the current situation was completely different from what they had expected before the war started. It felt like delivering food in the past. It had no effect at all and many people died.
The leader of the Japanese division was also quite depressed. He did not expect to use tanks to open the way, but he was still beaten out of control by the defenders and was in quite a state of embarrassment.
The strength of this warehouse also exceeded his previous judgment.
The two sides fought for less than ten minutes, and the Japanese felt that they could no longer fight. Especially the team that attacked the warehouse door head-on, bullets were fired at them from above, below, left and right. The heavy machine guns from the roof were pouring firepower on them crazily.
The number of Japanese casualties has increased sharply, and now dozens of corpses have been left behind. The surviving Japanese are hiding behind predetermined bunkers and do not dare to show their heads easily.
As long as the Japanese show their heads, they will become the target of the defenders. The battle plan they drew up in the morning not only had no effect, but instead felt like it was being targeted comprehensively.
Seeing that the Japanese did not dare to rush forward and most of them hid behind several buildings, Wen San immediately took out the grenade.
His original plan was to use heavy machine guns to shoot down those buildings, but now that he had mortars, he no longer had to waste machine gun bullets. Water-cooled heavy machine guns cannot be used for a long time, otherwise they will be easily damaged. Save what you can.
This time Wen San didn't let Guan Heizi test the cannon again. Because the distance is relatively long, the accuracy of the impact point of the artillery shells is very high. Guan Heizi's level is not up to the requirements, and only Wen San does it himself.
"Heizi, Gouzi's men are learning from the sidelines. This is the platoon leader's on-site teaching. Don't miss the opportunity." Liu Dazhu put down the heavy machine gun and patted Guan Heizi on the shoulder.
In Wen San's platoon, the heavy machine gunners are Lao Wan and Liu Dazhu. The light machine gun was placed in the hands of Tintin Maoer's squad.
Heizi followed Wen San in making gestures, measuring the distance, and then saw a cannonball flying out. Landing at the predetermined point very accurately.
Boom...
The artillery shell successfully collapsed a corner of the roof, and a large number of tiles, wood and soil fell down, causing the Japanese to fly into chaos.
They never dreamed that even if they hid behind the house, they would not be able to escape the attack of the defenders. Many Japanese soldiers ran out from under the house, which immediately triggered a burst of gunfire.
"Wen San's grenade is so well used! The Japanese hiding behind the bunker will be in trouble." Yang Yingzi was on the fourth floor at the moment. When he saw Wen San's masterpiece, he couldn't help but praise him.
At the same time, the soldiers around him seized the opportunity to eliminate the scurrying Japanese.
Wen San was calm and composed, and bombarded several selected targets one by one. This caused the Japanese commanders to curse, but they were helpless.
"Fight back, you must give me a fierce counterattack." The leader of the Japanese division roared like a madman.
They had always attacked their opponents like this, how had they ever felt so aggrieved? The tactical arrangements were targeted at every turn, the air support requested was delayed, and the number of casualties soared.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the Japs paid hundreds of casualties in this afternoon's battle. But the planned combat objectives were not achieved at all. They didn't even get within fifty meters of the warehouse door.
Not to mention that the Japanese are not afraid of death. Anyone who is constantly being suppressed and beaten will be frightened. This battle did not have the style of an elite Japanese division at all. Instead, he became a local dog who was pushed to the ground and rubbed.
The commander was furious, and the artillery squadron below quickly became active and began to advance towards the predetermined position. Only at those locations could the Japanese artillerymen dare to fire with confidence without worrying about their shells falling into the concessions of the great powers.
Wen San saw all this, and at such a close distance, he could see clearly without a telescope. In the morning, he locked several locations.
"The heavy machine gun adjusts its position and aims at the two points marked earlier. Guan Heizi, follow me. It's your turn to take action again." Wen San was worried that several Japanese artillery positions would fire at the same time.
Just hand over the two closest points to the heavy machine guns and prevent him from firing smoothly. Let the grenades come from a distance, and fire immediately as soon as the Japanese stop.
Sure enough, the Japanese artillery suddenly dispersed into several groups and rushed to different locations.
But before they could set up the gun mount, bullets were fired at them, and the impact point was quite accurate. The bullets from the heavy machine gun were very close to them, and they didn't dare to stand up to set up the gun, let alone calculate the bombardment data.
A little further away, the Japanese were rapidly setting up artillery. Their operations were quite skillful, and with the cooperation of several Japanese soldiers, they quickly adjusted the shooting angle. However, before they could start loading ammunition, artillery shells immediately fell down, landing very accurately in the center of the position.
Boom!
The violent explosion knocked the Japanese mortar upside down, and even the cannon body was blown into two pieces. Two of the Japs who were operating were cleared on the spot, and several others were lying on the ground, not daring to move at all.
Both sides set up artillery at the same time, but the grenade was more convenient. Moreover, Wen San had already known the location of the opponent's position and had measured the shooting elements in the morning, so the speed was naturally much faster than the Japanese.
After a hit, Wen San handed over the task of loading the shell to Guan Heizi. He held another grenade and ran in the other direction.
As a result, I ran over and saw that there were no Japanese gunners at that point. So he turned back and fired at the two positions suppressed by machine guns.
Guan Heizi's side was blasted by two more shells. Coincidentally, one of the artillery shells actually detonated the enemy's artillery shell, which immediately triggered multiple repeated explosions and wiped out all the enemy soldiers in the entire position. Including the equipment, it was also blown into a pile of scrap metal.
"Platoon leader, platoon leader, I succeeded! All the Japs in one position went to report to the King of Hell." Guan Heizi shouted excitedly. It turned out that he had made some fine adjustments to the angle adjusted by Wen San. Only then did he successfully explode the enemy's ammunition.
"Not bad, I finally look like a gunner." Wen San gave Guan Heizi a thumbs up. His men must have more talents, and warriors in any direction are needed. It is impossible to wait for him to do everything himself.
It's okay to have few soldiers now, but what will happen if there are more people in the future? Therefore, we must cultivate a group of proud soldiers and strong future.
One artillery position was destroyed, and the Japs in the remaining two artillery positions were beaten so hard that they fled frantically. The Japs did not fire a single shot. Not only did many artillerymen die, but even their equipment was blown to pieces on the position.
"Hey, this Wen San is really amazing. The position he marked this morning is like seeing the enemy's combat deployment. This judgment is really accurate." The regiment leader was so excited when he saw all this. Keep chanting.
