The Japanese didn't even spare the simple wooden boats, which were obviously used to transport troops. Two Japanese armies invaded Wu Fu's defense line. The casualties caused by a frontal attack will definitely be much greater. If a force can be sent through Taihu Lake, it can bypass many permanent fortifications and paralyze the tightly guarded defense lines of the national army. It can even form a two-sided attack on the defenders on the defensive line.
The Japanese are very insidious and very forward-looking in terms of strategy and tactics. Although their equipment is far superior to that of China, they are still racking their brains to think of various strategies, and their desire to destroy China has never been lost.
Now that Wen San knows the truth, how can he easily let the Japanese get what they want? The Japs in Guliu Town must be eliminated. They cannot be allowed to take away a boat, not even a small sampan.
In the Jiangnan water town, various streams and lakes are everywhere, and Guliu Town is located on the edge of a small lake. From here you can easily get to Taihu Lake, as well as different bodies of water.
There used to be many residents living in this town. After the Japanese came, they caused a lot of killings and many locals fled to other places.
Only a handful of people stayed secretly, mostly the elderly or children. After all, it’s hard to leave the homeland, and many people really don’t want to leave the place where they have lived all their lives and become refugees who have had one meal but no next meal.
The two teams of Japs lived in a large family in the town. Most of the family had fled, and the few servants who had not left also fell under the Japs' butcher's knives.
In addition, there are a few traitors who surrendered to the Japanese and are helping the Japanese. Without them, it would have been impossible for the Japanese to collect so many ships.
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Wen San's company had arrived at the outskirts of the town. The once lively town has now become very depressed, and there are no people around it.
"The big house's house is relatively high and easy to identify. I will conduct artillery fire first to blast the Japanese out of the house. Lao Wan's heavy machine gun platoon leader will be placed at the intersection on both sides of the house, with a row of The second platoon carried out a roundabout outflank, and the third platoon held the last line of defense and blocked the Japs' route to Xiaohu. Today I want to completely annihilate these two Jaap squads, and I cannot let a single Japs leave alive!"
Wen San had already figured out the layout of this town. He was worried about the presence of ordinary people in the town and hesitated to open fire.
Now there is no need to worry about this at all. Although there are a handful of people living secretly in the town, no one dares to approach the Japanese camp.
If it were before, Wen San would definitely have to plan carefully. Now he has strong soldiers and horses, well-equipped equipment, and many more people than the Japanese. When fighting, why should he be cautious?
The layout of Guliu Town is not complicated to begin with. There is one main street, followed by sparse houses, forming several street intersections. Wen San only used some small stones to clearly tell everyone his combat ideas.
"You all know your position, right? Once you know it, start taking action. You must be ruthless and don't give the Japanese any illusions about breaking out of the encirclement."
Although he had the advantage, Wen San still looked at the platoon leaders again.
"No problem!" All the platoon leaders nodded. I can't understand this, so I'm afraid my job as platoon leader will be in vain.
"I'll give you five minutes. Each platoon must move into position. In five minutes, I will start shelling the Japanese camp!"
Wen San waved his hand, and all the teams started moving quickly.
On Guan Heizi's side, the four grenade launchers were divided into two groups and began to enter the predetermined bombardment point. There are a total of 20 people in this platoon, standing behind Wen San and Guan Heizi to see how they perform live ammunition operations and manual ranging.
In the past few days, the two of them had repeatedly told them the relevant essentials. Almost asking them to memorize these things by rote.
When Guan Heizi picked people, he always picked warriors who were more intelligent. After several days in a row, he had made considerable progress. The only difference is the live ammunition operation.
Two minutes later, the angles of the grenades in the hands of Wen San and Guan Heizi had been adjusted. The two people following the operation were a little nervous, worried that they would make mistakes at the critical moment.
"Good job, just need to make some adjustments." Wen San looked at the soldiers around him and cast an approving look.
After all the adjustments were made, Wen San started to look at the time. Based on the conditions of his platoons, five minutes would be enough to move them into place.
"Time's up, fire!" Wen San took the lead in putting a shell in, and then a puff of green smoke came out of the grenade, and the shell had already flown out.
Boom...
Wen San's cannonball landed on the roof of the Japanese camp very accurately, and instantly opened a big hole in the roof. Countless tiles flew around like flying knives, and the beams also fell down.
As the shell exploded, more shells flew over immediately. The main hall of that house was directly blown down, and many Japanese were buried in it.
"Extend the artillery and blast out all the Japs in the stronghold." Wen San's shells were blasted towards the Japs' camp as if they were free of charge.
The two teams of Japs were blown into such a mess that they didn't even know where the shells were flying from.
"Lie down, lie down, hide, hide..." Japanese commanders at all levels were shouting, but they were a little confused.
I thought that I would be able to launch a counterattack as long as I could withstand a few shells. As a result, the shells falling overhead showed no sign of stopping.
Once upon a time, they also dealt with the national army in this way. Only when it was their turn did they know what it was like.
Wen San's plan is to fire at least 20 rounds of artillery shells, and the Japanese camp must be razed to the ground, otherwise they will not follow easily. He has a lot of cannonballs in his hand. After finishing these two teams, he will definitely get corresponding supplements, so it won't hurt at all.
Although the wealthy family's house was not small, it was just a wealthy family in a small town. The house is not strong enough. How can it withstand the continuous bombardment of 20 rounds of artillery shells?
Just after Wen San fired more than 10 shells, the Japanese hiding inside panicked. If this continues, they will be buried alive inside the house.
"Everyone, get up and rush out quickly..." The Japanese commander finally couldn't help it anymore.
The disgraced Japs picked up their guns and rushed out. They didn't care whether they saw the enemy or not, they just beat them randomly. It can be regarded as emboldening oneself and threatening possible opponents at the same time.
Lao Wan looked at everything in front of him with cold eyes. His men had been guarding the streets on both sides according to Wen San's arrangement. As long as the Japanese entered their sight, they would be ruthlessly beaten by the heavy machine guns that had been set up. Harvest.
The Japanese in the stronghold were stunned by the explosion and fled in a hurry without forming a reasonable combat formation.
When they rushed into the street, the heavy machine guns on both sides immediately roared. The dozen or so Japs at the front didn't even react and were sent to hell.
