In the ancient pottery section of Tongpu Road in Jinzhong, there are densely packed blockhouses and blockhouses along the railway line. The sight of plaster flags fluttering in the wind makes people sick to their stomachs.
The Japanese armored vehicles on the railway tracks will patrol every hour. The vehicles not only have several 92 heavy machine guns, but also a 75mm rapid-fire cannon;
The shooting range within 100 meters on both sides of the railway has been cleared, and it is strictly forbidden for idlers to approach, otherwise they will be shot without mercy.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Armored vehicles rumbled past, shooting at suspicious places on both sides from time to time.
"Damn it, I almost got bitten by a dog!"
Yan Song, commander of the first company of the 2nd Battalion of the 28th Regiment, cursed secretly.
The first company is the Sharp Knife Company of the 2nd Battalion. This time their mission is to take down several gun towers in the Zhangzhuang stronghold, and then remove all the railway tracks from Zhangzhuang to Gutao, and smash the Zhangzhuang pillar of the Japanese blockade.
This time, the Tongpu Road was broken up by breaking open a pillar every five to ten kilometers, cutting the Tongpu Road, the chain that the Japanese had painstakingly built, into large sections, and the main force jumped to it one by one. They went to fight in the so-called security areas of the Japanese, turning the security areas of the Japanese into guerrilla areas, and finally became the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.
The Zhangzhuang stronghold is a large stronghold nearby, so named because it is close to Zhangzhuang, with the railway passing through it on its flank;
Zhangzhuang on the west side of the railway is the Japanese security area, and on the east side is the guerrilla area and base area of the 28th Regiment.
The Japanese relied on the blockade built along the railway to cut off the connection between the guerrilla areas and the security areas, and did not allow any materials to enter the guerrilla areas. When the time was right, the Japanese would send out large groups of troops to sweep the guerrilla areas and turn the guerrilla areas into their own. The security area of the People's Liberation Army continued to shrink the activity space of the Eighth Route Army, and competed with the Eighth Route Army for land and population, with very sinister intentions.
"Company Commander, the Japs' iron bastards have left. We have one hour to clean up the Japs' artillery towers. There is a small team of Japs and a company of puppet troops stationed in Zhangzhuang;
There are two gun towers on the left and right, each with seven or eight Japs plus a platoon of puppet troops and three machine guns. There is a bunker on each side of the gun tower with a squad of puppet troops inside. There are no Japs. These guys who don't want their ancestors should replace them. The Japanese were working very hard. "
The platoon leader responsible for the reconnaissance mission reported the situation of the Zhangzhuang stronghold to Yan Song again. The Japanese defense was very tight. Without the Mulan cannon, even if the entire company was put in, the mission would not be completed.
He Wei of the 28th Regiment got many good things back from Chu Xiong. There were 4 of the 6-barreled 107mm Wei Shen cannons. Wei Yixiao cannons were equipped with 16. He used them intensively and created an artillery camp.
There are more than 30 Hua Mulan cannons, 4 in one battalion and 24 in 6 battalions, each with 10 rounds of ammunition. The rest are under the control of the regiment. He Wei is very confident.
The second battalion commander strengthened all four Mulan cannons to the first sharp knife company, and they smashed open the turtle shell of Zhangzhuang stronghold.
Mulan's shooting range is only 150 meters, and their position is more than 300 meters away from the Japanese railway line, and they have to rush forward more than 200 meters.
Yan Song said to platoon leader Yu Yong:
"Platoon Commander Yu, I leave the task of taking down the gun tower to you. You must be within a hundred meters before firing. These shells are very valuable!"
In addition, the safety of the gunner must be ensured! "
Yu Yong patted his chest and said:
"Company commander, don't worry, I promise to blow off the devil's turtle shell!"
After Yu Yong finished speaking, he turned to the fire team and said:
"The others are covering fire, the first and second teams are on board!"
Following Yu Yong's order, the two Mulan artillery teams quietly moved towards the Japanese artillery tower with skillful tactical movements...
In the turret, the Japanese corps commander Shiro Sakai was resting with his eyes closed. The puppet platoon leader Er Gouzi fanned him with a cattail leaf fan. The weather in August was extremely hot, and the brick and stone turret was steaming from the sun. , it makes no difference just staying in a living coffin.
Since it has been in a safe state for a long time, the artillery tower has not been attacked since it was repaired, so the Japanese and the puppet soldiers are very careless. Such hot weather allows the Japanese and the puppet soldiers to pass through the observation port and keep checking whether there is a sneak attack. This is indeed a bit difficult for them. .
A day or two is fine, but after a long time, it will be difficult for even the Japanese to maintain a high degree of vigilance, let alone the puppet soldiers who are dawdling.
Captain Banshin asked Private Kurihara to stare at the observation port while he closed his eyes to rest.
Kurihara stared at the observation port, quite seriously for the first half hour, without blinking. Not only did he not blink, but the puppet soldiers couldn't blink either!
Anyone who dares to be distracted will be slapped with a slap in the face. Although he is only a superior soldier among the Japanese, no one takes him seriously, but when it comes to the puppet army, he is the Taijun.
Except for the puppet platoon leader, no one from the squad leader to the soldiers dared to resist.
Suddenly he found a figure shaking about a hundred meters away. He quickly picked up the telescope and looked. Now he could see much more clearly. Unfortunately, he couldn't find the person when he looked again!
"Bagayalu, could I have seen it wrong!"
He turned to Li Datou and said:
"Did you see anyone just now?"
Li Datou didn't look far away. He couldn't see clearly without looking carefully from a hundred meters away. He happened to be dozing off. He was so dazed that he didn't hear what Abara was saying. He just said oh, which annoyed him.
He slapped the puppet squad leader with two ears of melon seeds, and then cursed:
"Baga! You'll die if you keep being lazy!"
Li Datou woke up completely after being slapped, and did not dare to resist. He just imitated the Japanese and said "hey", just short of saying thank you.
The slave's face is revealed!
"Hey, Taijun, Taijun, there is someone outside!"
Li Datou was the first to spot the Hua Mulan gun battery approaching the gun tower. Since the gun battery had moved to a position of more than 80 meters, he could see clearly without a telescope.
As soon as the Japanese heard this, they immediately gave the order to shoot.
"Enemy attack! Enemy——"
"Chirp!"
A rocket came straight towards the turret and hit the front of the turret more than one meter above the ground.
"boom!"
The rocket easily penetrated the brick wall of the turret and then exploded, directly blowing a large hole in the front wall of the turret.
"boom!"
Another rocket, this time hitting the front wall again
"boom!"
The Japanese turret finally failed to withstand the second shot of the "Mulan" cannon. The turret fell down amidst the explosion, burying all the Japanese and puppet troops in the turret.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The machine guns in the Japanese bunker fired wildly in the direction where the artillery crew appeared. A deputy gunner was shot and fell. He had just completed the task of loading artillery shells, and then fell into a pool of blood!
"You little devil, I'll be your ancestor!"
After the main gunner finished cursing, he fired a revenge rocket at the Japanese bunker...
