Chapter 733 I believe in the commander
The squadron leader did not continue to hold the stronghold with his own strength.
The offensive methods shown by the opponent made him feel scared. He weakened his firepower advantage by digging trenches and shortened the offensive distance. The squadron leader didn't know what attack methods the Eighth Route Army had to target him next.
In order to save his life and to protect the food in the stronghold and the backyard of the stronghold, despite losing face, the squadron leader decided to ask for help from Linfen City.
The Japanese artillery and grenade launchers in the stronghold responded quickly. In less than half a minute, the shells and grenade launchers were smashing dozens of soldiers who were digging trenches outside the stronghold.
Xiong Changhe was also very quick to react, frowned and ordered: "The artillery platoon immediately counterattacks and drain all the remaining shells!"
Chen Yang did not execute the order immediately, but instead showed an expression of disbelief.
Then he stared at Xiong Changhe and asked, "Battery Commander, there are only thirty shells left in the cannon platoon. If it is all shot, it will be gone. What should we do in the next battle?"
Instructor Wang Bo also showed a worried expression, hesitated for a moment and reminded: "It is best to leave half of it at critical moments to prevent business accidents!"
"No!" Xiong Changhe said decisively.
"The Japanese in the stronghold are equipped with mortars, so they must have reserved a lot of shells. As long as they can take down the stronghold, all the shells we used just now can be replenished, and there may even be more! Execute the order!"
"What if you can't get the stronghold in one attack? Battalion Commander, you are taking a risk!" Instructor Wang Bo insisted with a frown.
At this time, Xiong Changhe hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and insisted: "Execute the order, I believe the secret weapon sent to us by the regiment commander!"
"Battery Commander, I will order the gun platoon to launch a counterattack now and shoot out all the remaining shells!" Chen Yang answered immediately.
Thirty shells didn't last long, but they were enough for dozens of soldiers to connect a single bunker into a trench outside the stronghold.
Battalion Commander Xiong Changhe quickly shot out two shimmers in his eyes: "The opportunity to take the stronghold in front is right in front of him. Company Commander, let your people rush again, and shoot all the weapons in the battalion to cover you!"
"The Flying Thunder Cannon Platoon, take advantage of the opportunity of a company's attack and enter the position immediately. Whether you can take down the stronghold in front of you depends on you!"
The platoon leader of the Flying Thunder Cannons who came from the Artillery Battalion of the regiment headquarters confidently assured: "Please rest assured, the Flying Thunder Cannons platoon will definitely not disappoint the first battalion!"
Inside the artillery tower, the squadron leader was annoyed by the bad performance of the artillery. Not only did he not kill the artillery outside the stronghold, he also lost two mortars.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack!" Suddenly, a scream full of horror sounded in my ears, and then I heard gunfire outside the stronghold becoming more and more dense.
The artillery tower that was still quiet just now became chaotic again, and casualties reappeared.
"Counterattack, concentrate firepower, and kill the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army!" The Japanese squadron leader immediately ordered.
An infantry platoon that was attacking was lined up in a three-three formation, carrying a rifle, and rushed to the stronghold.
But the Japanese counterattack firepower was too fierce. In less than half a minute, more than half of a platoon was lost.
"Continue to fight back like this, beat them hard, and kill them!" The nervousness on the squadron leader's face was slowly replaced by excitement, and he ordered with a fanatical look on his face.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has retreated. We have killed at least twenty Eighth Route Army!" Soon, the second lieutenant who was commanding the battle in front reported with excitement.
"When you fight well, everyone stop shooting and closely monitor the Eighth Route Army's every move outside the stronghold!" The squadron leader ordered with satisfaction.
What the Japanese didn't know was that in just one minute just now, the three flying thunder cannons brought by the flying thunder cannon platoon had all moved into the trenches just dug out by the first battalion.
Dozens of gunners were setting up artillery positions around three flying thunder cannons.
Dozens of soldiers in a row stared at the Japanese stronghold with a stunned look on their faces, three flying thunder cannons made of gasoline barrels, and the barrel barrels thicker than their waists, were directly aimed at the Japanese stronghold.
First load the injection medicine, then install the explosives as thick as the gun barrel, and finally insert the lead wire, and three flying thunder cannons are ready for firing.
After igniting the gunpowder leads extending from the tail of the flying thunder cannon barrel, the gunner next to the flying thunder cannon quickly move.
"Boom boom boom..." Three dull explosions suddenly sounded in the cannon barrel, and a ball of orange-red flame gushed out from the mouth of the gasoline barrel. Then three explosive packs of explosives flew out of the gasoline barrel, drew three arcs in the air, and flew towards the stronghold.
But at this moment, a flare of the Japanese took off and exploded.
From the shooting hole, staring at the several Japanese outside, clearly seeing three explosive packs flying towards the stronghold.
"Baga, what is that?" a Japanese man shouted at the black dot that flashed in front of him.
"What? Why didn't I see anything?" The Japanese lieutenant next to him frowned and shouted.
"Boom..."
As soon as they finished speaking, three explosions of earth-shaking mountains reached their ears.
"What kind of explosion is this? Why is it so powerful!" The Japanese opened their mouths and showed an expression of shock that he couldn't believe.
The Japanese on the artillery tower were a little better, but they were scared by the violent explosion. The Japanese on the first floor of the artillery tower were not so lucky. The powerful shock wave made them deafening and their ears buzzed.
Although no Japanese in the artillery tower was killed, at the moment of the explosion, at least five Japanese guarding the first floor of the artillery tower temporarily lost their combat power for several seconds before they could react!
The puppet troops outside the artillery tower were not so lucky.
The position can withstand the bombing of mortar shells, but it cannot withstand the explosive packs containing a total of twenty kilograms of explosives.
During the violent explosion, the Japanese who were closer to the bombing point were blown to pieces on the spot, and no corpse died.
Although the one who was a little further away had a complete body, it was bleeding from seven orifices, and the death was very miserable.
Not only that, after the explosion, the puppet troops who were still alive outside the artillery tower were scared and looked scared.
In order to survive, he left the position regardless of everything and fled to the backyard of the stronghold.
Soon, the second round of three explosive packs visited the Japanese and puppet army stronghold again.
This time, an explosive pack hit the corner of the wall of the artillery tower and exploded.
The powerful power exploded a gap in the corner of the artillery tower. The bricks and stones that were blown away flew into the artillery tower like flowers, smashing towards more than a dozen Japanese inside.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Japanese were smashed to death and lost their combat power.
There were also a few Japanese who were shocked to death because they were too close to the explosion point of the explosive pack!
Twenty kilograms of explosives continued to fly into the Japanese and puppet army strongholds, and violent explosions continued to sound at the strongholds like thunder.
After three flying thunder cannons shot a total of fifteen explosive packs, they finally stopped.
At this time, the artillery tower where the Japanese were leaning on had been blown out, with two big holes, looking shaky.
The Japanese in the artillery tower were the worst on the first floor, and many people were blown up to pieces.
The second floor was slightly better, but they were also shocked to death and bleeding from seven orifices.
The Japanese on the third floor had the best luck, because they were too far away from the ground and did not die. However, many people were bleeding from their seven orifices and were directly shocked. Even if they were not dizzy, they were dizzy and were blown away, their ears were buzzing, and they temporarily lost their combat power.
