On the night of October 31, 1940, in the north of Taiyuan City, Wangjiaao
After the explosion came, the alarm at the Japs Pilot School was also sounded at the same time. The lights in the dormitory area quickly turned on, and the Japs yelled and cursed. It was obvious that the Japs in the dormitory did not think that their opponents were very powerful. Otherwise, I wouldn’t take the initiative to light the lamp like this.
Although the leader is not a professional soldier, he also understands the principle of late change. Since a surprise attack cannot be achieved, the only option is to attack by force. So he greeted behind him, and the artillery position that had been on standby was activated. Eight civilians were launched. Type 10 82mm mortars and four m1938 120mm mortars opened fire, covering the barracks of the garrison team immediately.
We have to attack there first. According to the intelligence, the three grenades of the Japanese team are in the barracks. If they cannot knock them out, the bandits' current artillery position will be threatened. It is really that the bandits' artillery position is too far forward. Okay, it’s almost right under someone’s nose, okay?
(The boss: What can I do with this forest?)
After the first round of shelling destroyed the garrison dormitory, the mortar firepower began to extend. The eight Min-twenty 82mm mortars turned towards the pilot's dormitory, while the four M1938 120mm mortars began to concentrate fire on the main site. There are two watchtowers at the entrance. There are two crooked machine guns in those two watchtowers. If they are not knocked out, the gunners will not be able to approach the school. Although they can cover the school with artillery fire, they will eventually have to use the gunners to go inside and call the Japanese.
Over at the school, there were already Japanese pilots rushing out of dormitories. Because the gun cabinets were in the dormitories, the Japanese pilots who came out all had rifles in their hands. They quickly rushed to the blind spots on the campus, and at the same time began to use rifles to attack the outside world. Start shooting.
The pilot Guizi could not see the attacker, so he could only attack actively to attract the attacker to fire. For this situation, Lermontov was also prepared. Two Liao-13 heavy machine guns were set up behind a reverse slope. Use curved shooting to attack the school. Although this will limit the power of the machine gun, it can protect the safety of the machine gun well. They are less than 500 meters away from the enemy's periphery. With the old devil's marksmanship, it is still very easy. Reach them, otherwise, they wouldn't be willing to open fire until now.
120mm mortar shells are extremely powerful. Just a few dozen shells destroyed two watchtowers, and the Japanese soldiers inside were buried under the rubble. There was no way, let alone this kind of watchtower. During the Winter War, on the border of a small country That kind of steel-concrete structure bunker can't hold this thing.
At this moment, it was less than a minute before the landmine was accidentally detonated. This speed not only surprised Lermontov, but also the leader was shocked. Damn it, when did my team become so agile? Already? With such fighting power, I still want to be a bandit. If I go to the Shanxi-Sui Army or the Central Army, I won't have enough to eat!
At this moment, all the lights at the Japs school were extinguished, leaving only the flames of exploding shells. With these flashes, more and more Japs could be seen rushing out and beginning to rely on the buildings of the dormitories and teaching buildings to fight back.
The power of the 82mm mortar is not bad, but the building of the Japanese dormitory is still too strong. Except for the two shells that directly hit the roof of the dormitory, the damage caused by other shells was not much. Even the main body of the dormitory was fine. over there.
Lermontov signaled to fire the flares, and then the 120mm mortars began to extend into the school. After a while, most of the dormitory area located to the north of the school was blown up, and only a few remaining pilots were still holding on.
At this moment, a team of bandits also climbed over the wall and entered the school. They set up two light machine guns and began to attack the Japanese pilots who did not hide in the teaching building from behind, mowing down a large area of unsuspecting Japanese pilots. .
But soon, a machine gun appeared in the direction of the teaching building. The powerful 12.7 mm bullets directly tore apart the brick wall used as a bunker by the bandit team. The two light machine guns misfired instantly. '
At the same time, two more 12.7mm machine guns appeared on the other side of the teaching building. Although the exact location of the bandits was not found, the old devils could still determine the approximate location of the attackers based on the sound of artillery and machine gunfire. The bullet hit the small woods, and the location was actually quite different.
An unlucky guy was accidentally hit by a stray bullet, and was immediately cut off by the huge kinetic energy of the large-caliber bullet. Lermontov couldn't see that it was his side who was missing out. They didn't include the aviation equipment that was used as a teaching aid. machine gun. No one knows how many machine guns and bullets the Japanese still have in their hands, but everyone knows that the chance to quickly capture the pilot school has been lost.
The boss ordered the artillery to focus fire on the teaching building, but the three-story teaching building was very strong. Even the 120mm mortar could only blast through the floor between the third and second floors. This also required artillery shells. It must be smashed into the teaching building from the top, but with the accuracy of the m1938 120mm mortar, there is no guarantee that the shells will be smashed in densely.
Just when the leader was considering whether to send a commando team to blast, a red signal flare was fired from behind them. This was an appointment made with the scouts, and it meant that the Japs brigade closest to the school had begun to gather. .
Three minutes, just three minutes, the Japs began to gather. You have to admit, the Japs' reaction speed was quite astonishing.
Knowing that there was no need to delay, Lermontov made a sign in the direction of the artillery. Immediately afterwards, the artillery instructor directed the ammunition hand to pry open a pile of lone ammunition boxes next to it. Inside, there was an orange-red 120mm. The mortar shell clearly says "mustard gas" in Russian on the shell.
No one had any objections, and no one hesitated. The gunners began to stuff the poison gas bombs into the gun barrels in an orderly manner. After a while, the teaching building not far away was shrouded in thick poison gas smoke. At first, there were still Japanese soldiers trying to rush out, but After a while, such warriors were no longer seen.
Immediately afterwards, another red signal flare was launched in the other direction, and more Japanese troops began to gather. Everyone knew that it could not be delayed any longer.
The bandits who wanted to rush over to refill their guns were also called back. Although the loss of the Japanese pilots was unclear, judging from the current results, it was enough to give an explanation to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After randomly emptying the mortar shells, Lermontov urged the boss to retreat. For no reason, the boss was moved for a moment. The Tov brothers didn't want to let us brothers be used as cannon fodder.
Not far away, a green signal flare had been fired, indicating that the Japanese were out of camp. But just when they were about to retreat, there was another movement at the school, and more than a hundred Japanese soldiers rushed out with rifles.
Lermontov was a little confused. Couldn't these fools from the Far East Military Division give him expired gas bombs? But a closer look revealed that the exposed skin of these guys had traces of mustard gas corrosion. As expected of a veteran of the Japanese Army, they were able to hold on and pursue them despite being attacked by poison gas.
