Facing the intensive crossfire of the Japs, Zhao Dalei was helpless, but he did not choose to charge mindlessly.
The little Japanese agents built simple sandbag fortifications dozens of meters inside the gate, and combined with the strong firepower output of submachine guns, the charge at this time directly turned into a killing.
Although Zhao Dalei was very fierce, he was not a foolhardy person. If he missed a blow, he would immediately retreat from the door and hide behind the door outside the wall to observe the enemy's situation.
Soon he discovered some firepower points of the Japs. Under the cover of the machine gunner's firepower, the grenade group began to pull out points from the sandbags inside the wall.
However, the Japanese grenade launchers almost launched a counterattack from the front and rear legs, and the result was nothing. On the contrary, several of their own grenade launchers were sacrificed!
This wave of devils is really weird.
Zhao Dalei keenly discovered that not only did their guns shoot accurately, but their grenades responded quickly, and they also flinched as soon as they struck, giving you no chance to fight back!
So Zhao Dalei asked his team members to spread out behind the wall, and move the Japanese sandbags directly opposite the door to turn them into side defenses. They were out of the attack range of the Japanese grenade, but they were able to effectively trap the Japanese inside.
The battle at the door ended in a stalemate.
However, Liu Shiqiang's artillery support continued, and Zhao Dalei could still afford to wait.
"Dalei, what's going on now?" Gao Jianwu rushed to the gate and quickly found Zhao Dalei.
"There was a group of Japs inside, all armed with submachine guns. There were at least 20 of them. They were very accurate in hitting people and had very strong firepower. We sacrificed several machine gunners in the first wave of charges, and then we lost a few more in the grenade attack. The main fault is that I didn't direct it well." Zhao Dalei said sadly.
When I first went up, I really didn't expect that the Japs' counterattack would be so violent. The rain of bullets fired from more than 20 submachine guns almost completely covered the gate. Others were not as lucky as Zhao Dalei and only got hit in the shoulder.
"That should be a Japs agent." Gao Jianwu patted Zhao Dalei's shoulder. Zhao Dalei snorted coldly. Only then did Gao Jianwu realize that his palms were wet. It turned out that Zhao Dalei was also injured.
"Don't bandage the wound tightly yet!" Gao Jianwu shouted in a low voice. "Leave this to me!"
"Captain, I'm fine. I was bitten by a Japanese soldier, but I can still fight!" Zhao Dalei said stubbornly.
It was pitch dark all around, with only a few pieces of wood that had just been ignited by artillery fire still flickering. No one knew that Zhao Dalei was injured.
At this moment, Yu Jinshui, who was following Zhao Dalei, quickly came up, untied his leggings and bandaged Zhao Dalei's wounds.
Gao Jianwu observed the situation for a while. It was originally a blind spot for viewing angles. In addition, it was dark, and it was hazy more than ten meters away, making it impossible to observe the situation inside.
This is a bit numb.
From time to time, a burst of artillery shells came from Liu Shiqiang's side to wash the ground. By the light of the explosion, Gao Jianwu discovered that the results of this blind battle were actually quite limited.
Quickly ask someone to inform Liu Shiqiang to temporarily stop the shelling.
"Where's Xiao Hei? Is Xiao Hei here?" Gao Jianwu finished handling the urgent matters and started looking for the person who knew the internal situation best.
"Captain, I'm here." A small man squeezed out from the dark crowd.
"Where is the approximate location of the room where prisoners of war are held?"
"Captain, it's on the north side."
"Let's go, take me to the outer wall of the room where the prisoners of war are held. Let's rescue the prisoners of war first." Gao Jianwu decisively ordered, "The first team follows me and brings the explosive packs! Da Lei, I leave this to you, keep the firepower at all times Output to prevent the Japanese from seeing anything unusual.
The mortar team retreated 500 meters away, out of the attack range of the Japanese grenade, and maintained sporadic shelling by firing one round at a time to contain the enemy firepower inside the gate. "
The individual skills of the Japanese agents are very strong, and it is very difficult for the team members to fight one on one. Fortunately, Gao Jianwu did not expect to win alone tonight. The absolute firepower suppression formed by 6 mortars was his biggest trump card.
Seeing that Zhao Dalei was still stubborn and persistent after being bandaged, Gao Jianwu let him go. Now he was also very short of commanding talents, and he really couldn't do without Zhao Dalei.

"Moxi Moxi, this is the Aoyama Prisoner of War Camp. We were violently attacked by at least one regiment of the 8th Route and suffered heavy casualties. Please ask for tactical guidance!" As soon as Fujita returned to the duty room, he began to shake people wildly.
Now is not the time to save face. The lights in several turrets have been extinguished. Fujita is not blind. Of course he can see that this group of attacking enemies not only has fierce artillery fire, but also has extremely high quality, especially the mortar fire. major.
Although the bunkers were not built in a fully enclosed manner, it was not easy to kill them with direct mortar fire. However, this group of people quickly destroyed all the bunkers.
Heyuan Military Police.
Ichiro Hirata had just been woken up from the bed, his face full of anger. "Baga, Fujita-kun, what is the situation now?"
"Report to Mr. Hirata that the enemy has used at least 6 mortars of different calibers, more than 10 machine guns, prisoner of war camp turrets, and heavy machine gun positions have all been destroyed, and most of the guards have been destroyed. Now it is mainly Mr. Sanbon's The secret service team is struggling to support us!" Fujita Makoto did not add fuel to the fire, but reported the situation truthfully.
Ichiro Hirata frowned. According to his understanding of Route 8, this firepower configuration is indeed the firepower of a regiment, and it is also the main regiment.
"Fujita-kun, the reinforcements are leaving immediately. Please hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"
"Hey!" Although Fujita was under a lot of pressure, at this point, there was no chance for him to back down.
...
Three miles away from the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp, the 2nd detachment was lying in ambush on the hills on both sides of the road.
Xie Jincheng and Lu Fan stared at the source of the river.
Their goal is to withstand reinforcements for at least 2 hours after the battle begins.
"Lao Lu, captain, they have already started. Do you think the Japanese from Heyuan will come out?"
"That's for sure. Unlike some armies, the Japs will not leave without mercy. According to the information we have, the Japs in Heyuan have a brigade. This time there will be no less than a squadron. If you take a car, you can get there in 2 hours. We are here."
"If this little devil really rushes over to a squadron, labor and management will keep them all." Xie Jincheng now has this confidence. In addition to the superior firepower of the squadron, Lu Fan's two heavy machine guns are also firing Here he is.
After all, he has the greatest blocking pressure here. There are dozens of Japs in the direction of Dawangzhuang, and the firepower of one unit is more than enough.
"Jincheng, the captain has repeatedly told us that the Japs are not easy to deal with. Considering the speed of the Japs' counterattack, the mortar team must move at least every 3 rounds. This heavy machine gun is not easy to move. Our simple wooden platoon bunker, I don't know. It doesn’t matter whether it works or not.”
Due to their early arrival and the ambush at night, Lu Fan's heavy machine gun team not only dug bunkers, but also cut down trees to build a three-story wooden raft roof.
If it's grenades and 81mm mortars, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but if it encounters the Little Devil 92 infantry gun, it might still be very dangerous.
But now no one has much experience in artillery defense, so they just dig bunkers as strong as possible.
