Chapter 148 Crushing battle!
"There were only about a hundred people, and they were all softies in the puppet army. At the beginning, they were scared. The soldiers took up their guns and bullets and wiped out all the Japanese puppet soldiers!"
For Xu Zhen, simply destroying the stronghold was a waste of talent. With their manpower and luxurious equipment, taking down a stronghold would be a piece of cake.
"The first round of shelling is the signal for action. The first company is responsible for the charge. We must strive to capture it as soon as possible. Don't dawdle!"
Saying,
Qin Hai raised his watch and issued a specific combat order again: "It is now 4:46 pm. We have 14 minutes to prepare. Attack at 5 o'clock sharp!"
This time,
This was something Xu Zhen and Xu Wudi had discussed long ago. Judging from the speed of the cavalry battalion, they should be ready for battle by now.
it's time,
They have to take the stronghold within twenty minutes, no delay!
"Yes! Don't worry, Captain. We will complete the mission!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhen nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Then get ready, launch the attack within ten minutes, don't make any mistakes!"
With Xu Zhen's words,
The company commander of the first company quickly took the order and retreated, and began pre-war deployment. This was the first battle after the expansion of the guard regiment. Although it was to attack the puppet army's stronghold, they could not be careless!
of course,
For a company armed to the teeth, a stronghold is no problem.
He can be considered a veteran of the Guard Corps. In terms of combat experience and overall combat effectiveness, he is definitely the top of the Guard Corps.
time flies,
The company carried out battle deployment in an orderly manner and, under the leadership of Xu Zhen, found an ideal mortar position.
At six o'clock,
Xu Zhen suddenly had an idea, picked up the rocket launcher on his shoulder, and fired at the puppet army's stronghold.
The shells streaked across the sky,
It fell right into the ranks of the pseudo-troops who were chatting and slacking off.
"boom!"
After the deafening noise, the puppet army had not yet reacted before mortar shells fell one after another into the stronghold.
boom! boom! boom!
The puppet soldiers who were lazily eating were caught off guard by the sudden artillery shells.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Hide quickly, enemy artillery position!"
"..."
Although the puppet soldiers were timid, at the critical moment of life and death, they all hurriedly crawled towards the shooting hole to look.
But as soon as he showed his head,
A dense storm of bullets swept over, and before I could see anything clearly, I was riddled with bullets and my head was gone!
"idiot!"
A Japanese captain inside escaped because he hid quickly, but when he saw the miserable state of the puppet soldiers on the ground, he was so scared that he almost wet his pants and crawled towards the phone.
"Report! The Lijiagou stronghold was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Requesting support, requesting support!"
The Japanese had already panicked. There were only a hundred or so people in their stronghold, most of whom were puppet troops.
They were suddenly attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army and could not hold out for long. The Eighth Route Army's artillery shells rained down, and the entire stronghold was shaking, as if it would collapse at any time.
The Japs were terrified at this moment and just wanted to ask for help.
the other side,
The moment the battle broke out, the company commander Wang Fugui immediately led his troops to charge. Most of the guards were equipped with semi-automatic Garand rifles, which could inflict heavy damage on the puppet army's strongholds during the charge. The dense bullets made it impossible for them to raise their heads.
Simultaneously,
The farthest stronghold, led by Xu Wudi, also launched an attack, and several strongholds were attacked almost at the same time.
In addition, the puppet troops were usually disorganized and were completely unprepared for this sudden attack.
In addition, the guard regiment was well-equipped, and the stronghold was bombarded with artillery fire before the enemy even showed up. After a round of shelling, the puppet soldiers cried for their parents and had no strength to resist!
Five bases,
The fastest one was completed in less than ten minutes, and everyone else lived up to expectations by taking it all in twenty minutes.
Simultaneously,
At 5:10 pm, Qin Hai and others led the army to attack the road that was the only way to pass the checkpoint.
The Second Battalion was responsible for clearing the way, and the main force did not have to take any action. Facing the railway checkpoint guarded by more than 200 puppet soldiers, the artillery battalion first bombarded it, and the checkpoint was taken before the infantry arrived.
Facing absolute strength,
No stronghold could withstand a single blow. This time, almost all members of the guard regiment were dispatched to welcome the return of the transport troops.
In addition to the observation group sent by the headquarters, in order to not give the enemy a chance to breathe, Qin Hai ordered that the Japanese checkpoints must be captured as quickly as possible and no chance of counterattack should be given. Don't save the shells and bullets for me!
With the words of the leader,
The advantage of heavy firepower was immediately apparent. When attacking the checkpoint, the main force had no turn at all. After two rounds of artillery fire, the indestructible checkpoint was blown beyond recognition, leaving only smoke and ruins.
Around nine o'clock in the evening.
The cavalry battalion took advantage of their rapid movement and cleared out all enemy strongholds within a radius of fifty kilometers in a very short period of time.
In less than five hours, they captured nine strongholds.
The night is already deep.
The darkness became the best cover, and the army's movements became more secretive. In addition, all the strongholds within a radius of 50 kilometers were cleared. Compared with the daytime, the marching speed at night was significantly increased.
this action,
Just as Qin Hai expected, attacking so many strongholds at the same time brought great trouble to the enemy stationed in Ci.
At about the same time,
The enemy received distress messages from more than a dozen strongholds. In such a short period of time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army swept all strongholds within a radius of 50 kilometers. Such a large-scale military operation directly disrupted the enemy's deployment.
"Damn it, so many strongholds were attacked at the same time, what on earth do these Eighth Route Army soldiers want to do!"
Colonel Zhenxiong stared at the military map on the table, furious. More than a dozen strongholds were lost almost at the same time, and there was almost no resistance. What was the purpose of the Eighth Route Army suddenly launching such a large-scale operation?
"Colonel, are these Eighth Route Army troops simply raiding the strongholds?" asked the Chief of General Staff next to him, his eyes full of confusion.
This news came too suddenly.
It was too fast. In just a few hours, the Eighth Route Army cleared all the strongholds within a 50-kilometer radius. Even if they were curious about the Eighth Route Army's purpose, without the strongholds, they would not be able to know the Eighth Route Army's next move.
"Stupid, how could so many main forces of the Eighth Route Army attack the stronghold at the same time just for a mopping-up operation!" Colonel Zhenxiong said with a grim expression.
Having dealt with the Eighth Route Army for so many years, he knew that these troops were very cunning.
This sudden large-scale military operation is definitely not simple.
"Send a telegram to Mr. Si immediately and report this situation! We must stop their actions!"
As Colonel Zhenxiong finished speaking, the chief of staff nodded quickly, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait, this is too weird. The delegation just arrived in Ninghai County, and the Eighth Route Army launched such a large-scale operation. If the Eighth Route Army's target is the delegation, notify them not to act rashly!"
Before the chief of staff left, Colonel Zhenxiong quickly thought of this and thought it was such a coincidence.
If these Eighth Route Army troops really set their sights on the battlefield tour group, they must not lose their composure. At this time, they must be on high alert and respond according to the Eighth Route Army's next move!
