Two days later, after Xie Yu ambushed another Japanese reinforcements, looking at the few Type 91 grenades left, Xie Yu decided to attack the Japanese artillery tower.

The comrades still agreed to attack the relatively weak defenses of the landlords and traitor compounds, but when it came to attacking the Japanese artillery towers, many comrades began to object.

Because most of the Japanese artillery towers are made of masonry, in the absence of direct artillery, for local comrades who lack firepower.

If you want to break through the gun towers, you can only use siege or human sea tactics.

Needless to say about the human wave tactic, there were too many casualties.

As for the siege tactics, some time ago, Xie Yu captured Wanjia Town, and the surrounding artillery towers were breached by the special committee's siege tactics. Not only were there no sacrifices, but a lot was captured, but it just took time.

But Xie Yu is short of time now, and the helpless Xie Yu can only choose to storm the gun tower.

When it comes to storming the gun towers, Xie Yu is confident that he still has some ideas.

Xie Yu knew that although this mortar was a deflection weapon and could not shoot directly, if it could hit the three-kilometer mortar shell on the Japanese turret, it would definitely inflict heavy damage on the Japanese.

Xie Yu, who was quickly prepared, led the troops and brought the Type 97 Japanese mortar to a Japanese gun tower.

When they were about 600 meters away from the gun tower, Xie Yu asked his artillerymen to assemble the mortar. At the same time, he distributed his troops according to the terrain of the Japanese gun tower and prepared to launch an attack at any time.

According to the battle plan, Xie Yu first arranged a reconnaissance squad to test the firepower of the Japanese artillery tower with two Czech light machine guns seized from the traitorous landlords.

Soon there was loud gunfire from the front. After Xie Yu used his six-fold scope to simply draw a Japanese firepower distribution map, the artillery squad had already set up the mortar.

Then Xie Yu rushed to the artillery position and fired the artillery in person. After Xie Yu set the Guoran parameters, he quickly felt something was wrong. The impact point of the artillery shot seemed to be much different from the gourd mark.

As a last resort, Xie Yu didn't want to waste the shells, so Xie Yu quickly picked up a pen and paper to check, and found that the set parameters were indeed correct.

But it was indeed different from the hints of the gourd mark, but Xie Yu thought of how correct the gourd mark had been and finally made a decision to believe in the gourd mark.

Xie Yu quickly adjusted the parameters, then signaled the loader to stuff the mortar shells into the mortar.

Then, there was only a "boom", and a few seconds later the Japanese turret blew a hole.

Xie Yu was determined and suddenly understood that it should be a parabola problem. At the same time, Xie Yu began to fire two mortar shells at two more threatening Japanese bunker firepower points.

At this time, Xie Yu began to order his comrades to start charging in order of attack.

Xie Yu and others rushed forward with a grenade launcher and six Type 91 grenades.

After consuming three more Type 91 grenades, killing one comrade and injuring five others, Xie Yu finally broke through the Japanese turret.

Don't tell me, no wonder some local comrades always like to attack the Japanese artillery towers. The capture of the Japanese artillery towers is particularly good, especially the Japanese daily necessities, ammunition and grenades.

Using this method, in just two days, Xie Yu broke through seven Japanese artillery towers in the west of Xiangyuan and seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

Not to mention anything else, Xie Yu's support force expanded to 700 people, each with a rifle and fifty rounds of ammunition.

Although more than a dozen comrades were killed and more than fifty were seriously injured, and a large number of mortar shells were consumed, the new soldiers were trained with blood and fire, and some of the veterans looked and were mostly the same.

After spending four days and giving the comrades who had been fighting a good night's sleep, Commissioner Xie Yu and Meng Te led the Fourth Battalion of the Independent Regiment, whose mental outlook had greatly changed, to set off westward again.

In fact, Xie Yu and the others' actions towards Yuan relieved the pressure on the main force of the independent regiment to a certain extent. Xie Yu's continuous attacks on things also attracted the attention of the Japanese.

At this time, according to the orders of the Japanese Taiyuan Military Headquarters, under the leadership of a Japanese Lieutenant Colonel, the nearby Japanese garrison squadrons were summoned to prepare for organizing a temporary crusade team in order to eliminate Xie Yu's supporting soldiers.

Fortunately, the comrades of the Eighth Route Lower Party were not just for nothing, and soon the information gathered by the Japanese was in Xie Yu's hands.

Xie Yu knew that the war situation was critical, and if the Japanese were to gather together, Xie Yu would be in trouble.

Xie Yu based these information on the information sent by the underground party and the hints from the gourd mark.

After making combat instructions, Xie Yuxian asked Commissioner Meng to summon the guerrillas and militia in the original area to cooperate in the battle.

Unexpectedly, the harvest from Xiang Yuan's regional party the day before was so great that Xie Yu suddenly organized a team of nearly a thousand people in the middle of winter.

Although the vast majority of them were armed with native guns, red-tasseled guns, broadswords and spears, which made Xie Yu a little depressed, the comrades' revolutionary enthusiasm was very high and Xie Yu could not attack them.

As a last resort, Xie Yu first arranged for some correspondents to organize this group of comrades. Not to mention so many people, it was also possible to clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded.

After simple coordination, Xie Yu took the initiative to attack. After a forced march, he rushed in front of a Japanese garrison squadron. After first firing at least twenty mortar shells, he ambushed and defeated a Japanese garrison squadron in a short time.

He arranged guerrilla comrades to clean the battlefield and forced a march. Using the same method, he defeated two other Japanese garrison squadrons nearby.

At this time, the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel also reacted, and immediately arranged for his artillery squad with two 70mm Type 92 infantry guns, a transport squadron, and a garrison squadron to gather together a total of 400 troops.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel also noticed the unusual combat effectiveness of Xie Yu's regiment-level troops, especially the descriptions of the defeated soldiers' use of precision artillery in Xie Yu's troops.

This made the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel Xie Yu very dubious. On the one hand, the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel did not believe that a peasant army like Tubal Road actually had the talent to use artillery tactics accurately.

On the other hand, the realistic situation made the Japanese Lieutenant Commander have to believe it.

Therefore, in order to avoid casualties, the Japanese lieutenant colonel first applied for tactical guidance from the military headquarters, hoping that the military headquarters could send bombers tomorrow to help them solve the artillery problem of Xie Yu's regiment-level unit.

Taking the actual situation into consideration, the Taiyuan Military Headquarters promised air force support. After the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel informed the Japanese soldiers of the news, the morale of the Japanese soldiers was revived.

At this time, Xie Yu, who had already led the troops to find out, felt something was wrong with this wave of Japanese soldiers, so he asked the soldiers to take a rest first, and then Xie Yu personally conducted the investigation.

Although the guards of this group of Japanese were very lax, and many of them were singing and drinking, Xie Yu still secretly returned and let the soldiers take turns to rest.

In the middle of the night, Xie Yu brought a grenade launcher, two Czech light machine guns, several shell guns and a reconnaissance squad soldier.

There are also more than 30 special-purpose grenades that have just been captured, and more than 20 Type 91 Japanese grenades. They have enough weapons and ammunition to set off.
