I saw a signal from the infantry unit in front that the movement was in place.
"fire!"
Liu Shiqiang stood up and shouted as loudly as he could. He stared straight ahead. He wanted to grasp the impact point of the first round of bombardment so that he could adjust it!
"Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."
The Japanese patrolling in the distance heard the sound of artillery shells breaking through the air, but before they had time to react, there were three loud "boom, boom, boom" sounds.
The heavy machine gun position at the entrance of the Japs was instantly hit by artillery shells, and several Japs inside were torn apart and flew out.
But the artillery shells hitting the bunker almost missed the bunker and flew into the prison camp and landed in the open space.
The Japanese who heard the explosion of artillery shells immediately started running towards various fortifications like chickens whose nest was blown up.
I have to say that the Japs during this period were indeed well-trained. Faced with a sudden attack, they ran to their respective positions according to their usual deployment without anyone commanding them.
Fujita Shinji, who served as the garrison captain, had just gone to bed when he heard the sound of artillery shelling and turned over, "The artillery shelling from Nani?!"
Fujita asked loudly.
"Captain, Second Lieutenant Taro Matsumoto reported that the gate was attacked by large-caliber artillery shells! It was suspected of being an 82mm mortar, and the first detachment of the heavy machine gun team has been shattered!"
The messenger who was answering the phone at the door stood at attention and reported.
"Baga! Order the third team to assemble!" Fujita Shinga roared while hurriedly getting dressed.
By the time he finished dressing and rushed out of the room, the third team of little devils who had been taking a break had already assembled and were on standby.
"Kill the chicken for me!" Fujita Zhen said nothing, waving his knife and commanding the third team to rush towards the gate!
On the eastern watchtower, which was lucky enough to escape the first round of shelling, the little Japs were already anxiously pointing their searchlights to the east and observing carefully.
However, Liu Shiqiang did not give them much time. After observing the deviation of the first round of landing points, Liu Shiqiang quickly adjusted his shooting at Zhu Yuan, and the three cannons launched the second round of bombardment.
Three 82mm artillery shells hit the bunker hard, and one of them fell into the crenel, blowing the entire upper part of the bunker into pieces.
The searchlights on the bunker instantly went out.
At this moment, Zhao Dalei, who was ambushing in the east, had a piece of grass in his mouth. When he saw the bunker was destroyed, he spit it out, "Get ready to fight!"
For him, there are no bells and whistles. He just waits for the remaining bunker to blow up before launching a charge!
Go straight up!
...
On the other side.
Upon hearing the sound of the cannon, Gao Jianwu yelled, "Fire!"
Three 60mm mortars also fired almost at the same time. Three shells pierced the air and flew directly towards the other two watchtowers.
This voice made Fujita Shinga, who was leading the charge with the third team, change his expression.
He did not expect that the enemy who came to attack tonight was so strong. According to experience, if this was the 8th Route Army, it should be at least one regiment or more to have such strong firepower!
Thinking of this, Fujita Mako instantly changed his tactics.
"The third team, guard the gate! The artillery team, fight back immediately!"
Originally planning to rush out and kill the opponent's artillery positions, Fujita now understood that this was not realistic. There were far more enemies than he expected.
Three artillery shells directly hit the watchtower. The first hit of the mortar commanded by Gao Jianwu blew out the searchlight of the watchtower and killed several Japs at the same time. Although the building on the top of the watchtower was not blown apart, the Japs were wiped out.
Compared with the power of 60mm mortar shells and 82mm artillery shells, the gap is indeed too big.
Another shell hit the wall of the watchtower next door with a loud bang, but in the end it only loosened a few bricks.
However, the Japanese on the tower were startled. They turned their searchlights and machine guns and started shooting wildly in the direction of Gao Jianwu and the others.
It's just that the range of the crooked machine gun is average, and the position Gao Jianwu chose is just at the limit of its effective range. Although the machine gun still has the lethality, its accuracy is completely impossible to see!
Gao Jianwu and the others paid no attention to the bullets whizzing over their heads, but went all out to observe the impact point. Soon, the three mortars adjusted their positions and launched the second round of bombardment.
The three mortars were all aimed at the remaining watchtower. This time, the little devil's luck ran out. Two of the three mortars were poured into the crenel and exploded, blowing the little devil above to pieces!
Seeing the results of the battle, Gao Jianwu decisively ordered, "Move the position immediately and prepare to aim at the gate and fire 3 rounds quickly and freely!"
After saying that, Gao Jianwu went up, held a few shells, and moved a few dozen meters away. Before they could rearrange their positions, the Japanese mortars landed near their original positions!
The Japs' artillery counterattack was very sharp, and they roughly locked the position within two rounds of shelling.
It's a pity that Gao Jianwu made a clever move and quickly secured the watchtowers for transfer. This round of artillery strikes by the little Japanese made him feel lonely.
...
On the other side, Liu Shiqiang's three 82mm mortars just destroyed the remaining bunkers. When he saw the counterattack of the Japanese bombardment, he immediately adjusted his angle and launched a round of coverage!
The captain is over there, and Liu Shiqiang has not forgotten it.
Zhao Dalei, who was lurking at the front, jumped up immediately when he saw the searchlight of the bunker extinguished.
"Come at me! The machine gunner moves forward with his submachine gun!"
Team No. 780 of the first team jumped up, and the team leader and machine gunner followed Zhao Dalei in a line to charge.
When they rushed nearly 200 meters away from the checkpoint, the Japanese sentry realized that the enemy was approaching in the darkness, so he took out his 38-meter cover and started shooting.
"Fire!" Following Zhao Dalei's order, more than a dozen machine guns and submachine guns spit out a tongue of flame, instantly engulfing the Japanese at the checkpoint.
At this time, the third team, which had just arrived at the gate, threw down a few sandbags as a cover, and pointed their two crooked sticks at the gate, preparing to give the charging enemy a head-on blow.
But no one expected that Gao Jianwu commanded the artillery crew to blast a wave of shells at the gate!
Three 60mm mortars fired three bursts without any hesitation!
A total of 9 shells landed at the gate of the prisoner of war camp, taking away every single one of the Japanese third team!
"Ding, form an organized team to annihilate the Japs. The level score will be +10 points."
A prompt suddenly popped up in Gao Jianwu's mind, and then went out.
Gao Jianwu didn't have time to check. After the attack, he directed the artillery crew to continue moving their positions.
Sure enough, as soon as they moved away, the Japanese bombardments fell like a shadow, but unfortunately they didn't even hit a hair on Gao Jianwu and the others.
Gao Jianwu's command completely convinced veterans like Ding Yong, and at the same time raised the morale of the three artillery crews to the extreme.
They have never played as hard as they did tonight.
Death and suffering were all given to the devils, while victory obviously favored their own side.
In the distance, Liu Shiqiang's artillery fired back in the first round, just in time for the Japanese to bombard Gao Jianwu for the second time. Liu Shiqiang quickly positioned himself and launched a two-round counterattack.
This time, 6 rounds of artillery shells covered hundreds of square meters, which happened to cover the positions of the two 90mm small steel cannons of the Japanese. More than a dozen artillerymen were fired almost at the same time, knocking out the Japanese counterattack artillery fire at once!
Zhao Dalei, who was charging, eliminated several little Japs at the outer checkpoint in half a minute and rushed into the gate of the prisoner of war camp.
Unexpectedly, he was hit by a hail of bullets, knocking down several of the team members rushing in front of him. Even Zhao Dalei was bitten by the bullet and his shoulder was bleeding!
"Go back to the door and lie down on your sides!" Zhao Dalei fired with one hand as if he was struck by lightning, and loudly ordered the team to go back to the door.
Gao Jianwu, who was in the distance, heard the sound of intensive submachine guns. He paused in his heart and secretly screamed, Oh no!
Damn, I forgot that there are more than 20 little Japanese agents inside!
"Ding Yong, you go to the artillery team and tell Liu Shiqiang to carry out a covering artillery bombardment inside the gate. I will take the artillery team to the gate to command the infantry detachment!"
Faced with the sophisticated counterattack of the Little Devils Agent Team, Zhao Dalei obviously still lacks the experience to deal with it. Gao Jianwu must get close to the gate to grasp the situation first-hand, otherwise he may not be able to break through the defense line of the Agent Team even if he can defeat all the first team.
The firepower of more than 20 submachine guns is not a vegetarian!
