Chapter three hundred and fifty seventh attack setback
"Brig Commander, Political Commissar, Deputy Chief of Staff Telegram!" Not long after, the company commander of the communications company Xu Guang rushed over and reported with an excited expression.
"What did Zeng Quan say!" Cheng Xiao and the political commissar stared at Xu Guang at the same time and asked.
"Deputy Chief Zeng reported that they attacked on time at 10 o'clock tonight. It is expected that in two hours, the Japanese reinforcements may arrive at the ambush circle. Deputy Chief Zeng asked us to prepare for combat!" Xu Guang quickly answered.
"Okay, after waiting for so long, I can finally eat meat!" Cheng Xiao said happily.
Then he began to issue an order: "Political commissar, there are many new recruits in the army. I suggest that all personnel from the brigade department be filled with two regiments to assist the company commander and instructor below to control the recruits! Political commissar, go to the second regiment, and I go to the third regiment. Try to eat the Japanese reinforcements in one bite, and let the new recruits in the brigade see blood!"
"Yes!" The political commissar was an old revolutionary, and he knew very well that the possible accidents that the recruits might have when they first went to the battlefield. He rushed towards the Second Regiment position without saying a word.
On a high ground less than one kilometer away from the copper mine, Wang Ping held up his telescope and stared at the battlefield while giving a combat order.
"The Mountain Cannon Company set up all the mountain cannons at the reserved position and aimed at the copper mine! The regiment-owned mortar company and the mortar platoons of each battalion are arranged directly behind the out-of-position. As long as the Japanese artillery in the mine fires fire, they will find them and fight back immediately and kill them!"
"Zeng Quan, you will command the attack. When ten o'clock arrives, attack on time. I will draw three artillery platoons for you to cover the attacking troops!"
Soon, half an hour passed.
Zeng Quan also came to the army's offensive position and saw more than 30 blasting hands drawn out in a row. Zeng Quan decisively ordered: "Blasting hands, carry the earth tank and touch it, try not to alarm the Japanese!"
"Others are ready for battle. As long as the blaster is exposed, shoot immediately and cover the blaster to get close to the castle!"
More than a dozen blasters, five people in groups, carried heavy earthen tanks made of wooden signs and quilts, and gradually touched the castle forty or fifty meters away.
Because there is no lighting, it is inevitable that some movement will occur when you touch it.
So, just after three earth tanks walked forward less than ten meters, a flare was hit by the Japanese.
Three earthen tanks were exposed to the three machine gun castles at once. The three machine gun castles had a quick response and instantly shot six cross-fire power at the earth tanks. Three heavy machine guns and three light machine guns were staring at the three earthen tanks and firing.
What made Zeng Quanchang feel relieved was that although the power of the heavy machine gun bullet was very strong, it still failed to penetrate the thick wet quilt on the earthen tank.
"The earth tank has its effect, continue to rush up!" Zeng Quan ordered loudly.
"Machine gun, mortar, fire immediately to cover the earthen tanks to approach the Japanese machine gun castle!"
"Dadadada...Boomboo..." Gunshots and cannons immediately rang out on the battlefield, and whizzing bullets hit the stone castle, and sparks were splashing everywhere, which was particularly dazzling.
After the shells hit the castle and exploded around the castle, the fireballs with strong gun smoke instantly covered one of the machine gun castles.
Despite this, the six light and heavy machine guns from the three machine guns still kept firing, spitting out flames at the positions of the three earth tanks.
The earth tank was also very powerful, and there was no problem pushing forward ten meters forward with bullets.
Just as Zeng Quan slowly smiled on his face and thought that as long as the earth tank advanced twenty or thirty meters further forward, victory would belong to him, an accident occurred.
"Woooooooooooooooo... boom boom!" As soon as the whistle of shells passing through the sky reached his ears, seven or eight shells hit the battlefield and exploded.
A dirt tank was blown up on the spot. Several explosion hands hiding behind were instantly blown up and fell on the charge road, and they were almost unable to survive.
"Boom boom boom boom!" After the violent explosion began, there was no intention of stopping. After fighting for a whole minute, all three earthen tanks were still fighting after they were blown up.
At this moment, two artillery companies commanded by Wang Ping himself fired.
As soon as the violent explosion sounded at the mine, the shells from the mine disappeared.
"The blasting team, carry three more earth tanks and rush forward, the Japanese artillery has been killed by the old regiment commander!" Zeng Quan immediately seized the opportunity and ordered.
More than a dozen soldiers rushed forward with earthen tanks. Not long after, they rushed to more than 30 meters away from the Japanese Machine Gun Burrow.
"Cover the firepower, continue to rush forward, and then rush to the 20-meter Japanese Burrow! " Zeng Quan shouted loudly, his eyes staring at the battlefield, afraid that something else would happen.
"Kill me!" Suddenly, a dozen Japanese with rifles rushed out from the middle of the castle, as if they had taken stimulants, and screamed and rushed towards the three earthen tanks.
Before Zeng Quan could react, he had time to react, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers threw more than a dozen grenades at the earthen tank.
After throwing one grenade, I kept throwing the second one.
"Machine Gunner, what are you doing for? Kill them right away!" Zeng Quan shouted.
"Captain, the Japanese hid behind the machine gun castle, and the bullets could not hit them!" A heavy machine gun platoon leader answered anxiously.
"When artillery, kill them with shells. Keep an eye on the Japanese castle. You must not let the Japanese come out again!" Looking at the three earthen tanks that were destroyed again in the explosion, Zeng Quan's anger suddenly emerged and he ordered loudly.
Then the company commander who was heartbroken by his side continued to order: "Reorganize the blasting hand and continue to apply it to me. I don't believe it anymore. What new tricks can the Japanese stop us."
In a few minutes, three earthen tanks appeared in front of the Japanese again and advanced forward with bullets.
At the beginning, the Japanese wanted to send troops to fight back and use grenades to blow up these earthen tanks.
But no matter how hidden they dodge, bullets and shells whizz towards them as soon as they emerge.
After more than a dozen people died, the Japanese decisively gave up this counterattack that was almost to die.
So, the earth tank advanced ten meters more than just now.
"Continue attacking, attack another fifteen meters, and we will win. Machine gun cover, artillery should not stop, this time, there must be no more accidents!" Zeng Quan's eyes shot out from his eyes, and he ordered with a crazy look on his face, as if victory had already recruited him again.
"Boom..." Suddenly, an explosion reached Zeng Quan's ears. Immediately afterwards, a dirt tank in his field of vision was shattered by a ball of fire that suddenly burst out. The five explosion hands behind the dirt tank were blown away without exception!
"What's going on? Why do the Japanese have cannons!" Zeng Quan shouted loudly with a stunned look on his face.
"Boom..." Before he could finish his words, another explosion reached Zeng Quan's ears.
This time, before Zeng Quan could speak, a voice came to his ears: "Let the remaining blasting hands retreat immediately, hurry up!"
"The shells were shot from the machine gun castle. The Japanese equipped war defense cannons! Retreat immediately and can't attack again~"
Wang Ping didn't know when he touched Zeng Quan's side and frowned and ordered.
"Retreat!" Zeng Quan no longer hesitated and immediately ordered.
"Boom..." But it was still too late. As soon as he said it, an explosion rang out on the battlefield. Before he could retreat, the blaster and the last earth tank were blown away in the explosion!
"Get out!" Zeng Quan's clenched fist hit the bullet box in front of him with anger and cursed loudly!
Chapter completed!
