"good!"
The battalion commander who saw this scene through a telescope shouted excitedly.
Although barbed wire is cheap and has no technical content, it is really disgusting.
As long as you put it there, the charging speed will not increase no matter what.
The first step, which I thought would take a lot of trouble, was solved so easily, which was a good start for this attack.
In the original timeline, the soldiers spent a lot of effort just cutting down the power grid here.
But now it only takes less than one-fifth of the original time.
On the battlefield, one second can determine success or failure, let alone these few minutes?
The soldiers filed in, facing an enemy who was more hastily prepared.
Many bunkers don't even have people in them, so they have become trophies of our army.
But there are pros and cons.
The Japanese did not have time to prepare for defense, allowing the Eighth Route Army soldiers to easily capture several small bunkers on the periphery.
It also allowed more Japanese troops to get into the largest bunker in the middle.
This main castle has high walls and thick walls, and is far beyond the ability of the weak firepower of the Eighth Route Army to destroy it.
Although its perforation is small and the shooting area is narrow.
But he couldn't stand the dense piercings all over his body.
Now that we have enough manpower, we can basically shoot at 360 degrees without blind spots.
Our army's rifles and machine guns are completely unable to suppress these small perforations.
Instead, it became their advantage.
It is condescending, supported by intensive firepower, and equipped with movable iron plates as armor inside.
This main castle was wedged in the center of the mining area like a nail, preventing our army from moving.
"Company Commander, the enemy's firepower is too fierce. There is still a large open space outside, so we can't rush forward!"
I have to say that this bunker is very organized. If this is a hard attack, many soldiers may be sacrificed.
Looking at this piece of hard bone, the fourth company commander's eyes seemed to burst out with fire.
"Erdan, where's the iron cannon you were asked to hold? Give it a shot!"
After giving the order, two short soldiers came running over carrying recoilless rifles.
Not very skilled in aiming and loading.
"Company Commander, the shell of this gun tower is much thicker than usual. Can thick iron pipes be used?"
"I don't know either. The leader looked unsure when he gave it to me."
"No matter what, let's shoot it twice first. If that doesn't work, we'll break it open even if we risk our lives!"
"Erdan, listen carefully, the regiment leader has approved 5 rounds of ammunition for us, we must hit them accurately!"
The soldier named Erdan did not speak, but nodded solemnly.
Kneeling on one knee, I measured the distance, held my breath, and after taking aim for a while, I finally pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
There was a crisp crackling sound.
The dust filled the sky behind Erdan.
The blown gas actually cleaned a ten-meter-long fan-shaped floor.
And look at the Japanese gun towers.
As everyone imagined, the scene of directly blowing a big hole in the wall did not happen.
Instead, the cannonballs drove into the wall with their iron heads.
But the warhead was not satisfied with just drilling through half a meter of fortifications.
Instead, he followed the original direction and continued to hit the wall on the other side before exploding unwillingly.
The next moment the flames shot into the sky.
Along with the explosive bullets and grenades.
The twenty-odd Japanese in the entire first-level fortress didn't even have a chance to feel pain, so they went directly to see their Amaterasu.
The Japs upstairs didn't know what was happening downstairs, and thought the first floor had been breached by the Eighth Route Army.
But there was no reaction from the Eighth Route Army.
Because the company commanders in charge of frontline command were all confused.
No, is this thing so crazy?
This bunker is not a piece of junk like a Japanese turret.
It is a very standard permanent fortification.
Originally, they were all prepared to pave a bloody road with their lives.
In the end, with such a thick iron pipe, you can aim it accurately, load it, and buckle it, and that's it?
Totally unexpected, right?
"Uh... Company commander, do you want to fire a second shot?"
Originally, Erdan was still feeling very unsure.
After all, this is my first time using this thing.
But the effect is really amazing.
Judging from this power.
After all five shells were fired, there was no one alive in the bunker.
How can we use comrades to rush forward and fight for their lives?
Erdan's words brought the fourth company commander back to his senses.
"Hit! Damn it, this bunker is too difficult to deal with. Without this treasure, it would be fine. With it, it would be a bastard for the soldiers to work hard."
"Then fire all five shots?"
"You prodigal son, this battalion only has 10 rounds of artillery shells. We fired them all. What if there is another troublesome bunker later?"
"Hit one more shot on the second floor, and then all charge!"
"yes!"
So the same scene happened again.
Two floors of the four-story fortress were lost, and most of the firepower was immediately lost.
"Erdan! You are not allowed to rush. We have protected our treasure. Remember, we can't kill people without guns. If you knock off a piece of paint, you are the only one to blame!"
Having said that, the company commander took the lead, with the shell gun in his hand banging and firing, and he led the soldiers of the fourth company to fight with the enemy under the cover of mortars and smoke bombs.
Even on a dangerous battlefield, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
Especially when I think that such a high-tech thing was actually made by our Eighth Route Army.
Why does the dilapidated look of the fortress in front of me become more pleasing to the eye?
In the original timeline, just such a main fortress caused a stalemate with our army all night.
Even the entire Fourth Company was lit up.
The commander of the third company, who took over the main offensive task from the fourth company, personally led the charge and died on the way to victory.
But this time the Eighth Route Army soldiers, who had steel teeth, chewed the hardest bones into powder in less than an hour.
In this way, the new mining area was quickly and naturally attacked.
The more than 3,000 miners rescued ignored their pain and fatigue and cheered and joined the Eighth Route Army to help the soldiers carry the loot.
All heavy equipment that could not be moved was smashed and exploded.
"Commander, the first battalion has captured the new mine!"
"So fast?"
Commander Yang was stunned. According to the original plan, the most optimistic estimate would have been until early morning, but now it was nearly six hours ahead of schedule.
"Yes, the correspondent said that the soldiers and workers were cleaning the battlefield when he left!"
Just when Captain Yang wanted to say something, someone else came in to report.
"Report! The Second Battalion captured the Jiazhuang gun tower!"
"What? So fast?"
Commander Yang is well aware of the situation of his men.
As a unit developed from the first division of the Red Army, it goes without saying that its combat effectiveness is powerful.
However, facing the enemy's tight fortifications, it is inevitable to feel that a clever woman cannot make a plan without rice.
Could it be...
"Call the two correspondents over quickly."
"yes!"
After listening to the two correspondents vividly describing the battle process.
Commander Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.
The comrades in the arsenal are really good people.
The Japanese's defensive tortoise shell tactics are clearly meant to bully our Eighth Route Army for not having heavy weapons.
But it's useless to just be angry, people will take advantage of your weaknesses.
Now that we can make such high-end goods ourselves, the Japanese prison policy from now on will be a thankless joke.
They were all prepared for a brutal victory, but now it seems that with the combination of magical weapons and warriors like tigers emerging from the cage, completing the mission is no longer a problem.
The task now is to minimize casualties.
"How is the current situation of the third battalion?"
"I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic." Deputy Commander Gao reported to him like a treasure trove, "The old mining area is the headquarters of the Jingxing Coal Mine Headquarters. There are a large number of elite Japanese troops. In addition to ten bunkers, there are 13 forts. I'm afraid every fortification is A bad fight.”
"Let the first and second battalions each detach a company to provide support, and let them bring the iron tube guns. Use them when necessary. If you keep them, you won't be able to breed!"
"yes!"
Listening to the rumbling sound of gunfire outside, Commander Yang's original anxious mood calmed down a lot.
This iron tube gun is really a good thing, but it is a pity that there are too few of it.
It is said that Nie Shuai only received 5 guns and 100 rounds of artillery shells in total.
He wanted to scold himself when he thought that he wanted to test fire a round before to see its performance.
This shell is equivalent to a watchtower.
That was not just a line of achievements in the report, but also the lives of countless soldiers.
The deputy commander saw his partner in a daze and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that after this battle is over, I should take credit for the iron tube cannon!"
"By the way, there is also the comrade who made the blasting tube. No matter who it is, I owe him a drink!"
