As soon as they finished speaking, the telegraph machine next to them turned on again, and then the familiar voice of telegrams they sent and received was heard.

"The regiment commander, the reconnaissance force reported that the Japanese who were searching for us more than 20 kilometers away began to retreat!" The radio operator excitedly reported as soon as he received the telegram.

Hong Ruijun became even more excited and couldn't help but shout, "The Japanese are fooled!"

"Captain, should we set out now?"

Wang Ping made a decision without thinking: "Let's go now. In this area, the main forces of the Japanese are concentrated on the front lines and important transportation lines. As long as we bypass the highway and avoid the levels and patrols arranged by the Japanese on the highway, we will never find us if we no longer search our Japanese!"

"Everyone set out and return to the base!"

The Hongcun stronghold, gunshots and artillery bomb explosions, have lasted for nearly half an hour from the beginning to now.

"Battery Commander, all the fortifications of the Japanese outside the stronghold have been bombarded by us with infantry guns. At least one team of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops have been killed. The remaining Japanese and puppet troops have all been retreated to the stronghold and defended!" Jiang Chao, the company commander of the first battalion, reported with excitement on his face.

It is certain that the attack in front of him was the most aggressive attack he had since joined the army.

As long as you encounter a little hard bone on the offensive road, you will immediately call for artillery fire support and instantly tear the opponent to pieces.

To eliminate so many Japanese and puppet troops, as the main attacking force, the entire company suffered no more than one platoon. In Jiang Chao's opinion, this can be said to be a miracle.

Xiong Changhe's face was not good-looking. Although he had already dispatched a company to slowly block the reinforcements sent by Linfen City, he was not sure that this company could not last too long and gave him four hours to the sky.

Now, half an hour has passed and I have just taken the outer position of the stronghold. There is still a long way to go before I take the stronghold, and the next attack will definitely be more difficult. If not, my dream of winning the Hongcun stronghold through this attack will not be realized.

"It's too slow!" Although Xiong Changhe shook his head and replied, knowing that saying this would hurt his subordinates' morale.

"If we continue to fight like this, we will never be able to take down the stronghold when the Japanese reinforcements come over! How about it, does the troops have a way to attack the stronghold! The positions on the outermost part of the stronghold are all small vegetables, and the stronghold is the real hard bone!"

Jiang Chao's face suddenly became ugly, and he shook his head and replied: "Not yet!"

"The Japanese in the stronghold are equipped with mortars, and they are always useless. I dare not let the infantry cannons get too close, otherwise they will definitely be the living target of the Japanese mortars!"

"In addition, they are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and as soon as we approach, we are attacked by their fierce fire. Now the troops are still blocked more than a hundred meters away from the stronghold and cannot move forward!"

Xiong Changhe didn't say a word of nonsense, and frowned and rushed to the battlefield.

Soon, a few people touched behind a broken wall.

In the stronghold more than 100 meters away, the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese fired a string of bullets at this side from time to time, pressing a company's attack on the starting position and unable to move.

"Battery Commander, we have at least three heavy machine guns in front of the Japanese, six light machine guns, three mortars, six grenade launchers, and the Japanese's accurate gunsmanship. When we first came up, I had someone rushing once. Before we rushed over thirty meters, we lost nearly twenty soldiers!" Jiang Chao pointed to the thousand dark Japanese strongholds opposite and introduced.

If infantry cannons are not used, the enemy has absolute firepower advantages. For a moment, Xiong Changhe could not think of a good attack method.

If the attack time is sufficient, Xiong Changhe has several ways to take down the stronghold in front of him. However, what Xiong Changhe lacks the most now is time.

At this moment, the instructor's voice suddenly rang behind several people.

"Old Xiong, I think you are used to good life. You can't even beat them when you don't have the advantage of firepower!"

"I remember when we were in the Soviet area, we attacked the enemy bunker artillery tower. Not to mention the cannons, we didn't even have machine guns, so we still took them down!"

The instructor was from the old Red Army, and Xiong Changhe has always attached great importance to his words.

So, Xiong Changhe suddenly reacted and stared at the instructor and asked, "Lao Liang, are you saying that we used the old methods we used in the Soviet area to attack the Japanese stronghold!"

The instructor nodded and affirmed: "The old method is not worse than the cannons and heavy machine guns in our hands!"

"Take the battle in front of us as an example. When guns and cannons cannot take the stronghold, we use the old methods and local methods of attacking the stronghold, and it is very likely that we can easily take the Japanese stronghold in front of us!"

Xiong Changhe's eyes lit up and he stared at the instructor and asked.

"Lao Liang, have you already thought of a solution?"

"The fire is almost burning to the eyebrow. No matter what old or local methods are, as long as we can get the stronghold in front of us, we can try it!"

The instructor immediately replied: "I have got the guard platoon ready!"

Soon, two tables covered with wet quilts were carried over by the guards. There were also several explosive packs and cluster grenades that came together!

"Ground tank!" Xiong Changhe immediately thought of the instructor's method.

Then he ordered: "The whole battalion concentrated its firepower and beat me up with the Japanese in the stronghold. All weapons sounded, don't save me ammunition!"

"The guards lined up in one squad, carried the earthen tanks for me, and after approaching the Japanese stronghold, they directly used cluster grenades and explosives to blow it up!"

"Others provide fire cover, row after row, push forward behind the earth tanks, increasing the firepower of the offensive troops!"

"The artillery platoon and grenade squad are all ready for me. As long as the Japanese artillery and grenade squad are fired, they will fight back immediately. If the mortar is blown up, the Japanese artillery will not be allowed to blow up the two earthen tanks!"

"Start the attack!"

As Xiong Changhe fought hard, the Japanese in the stronghold felt the pressure.

However, they were still full of confidence in defending the stronghold. Therefore, the entire defense battle was still in an orderly manner and did not panic because of Xiong Changhe's desperate efforts.

However, as two earthen tanks appeared in front of them, they approached the stronghold little by little with bullets.

More importantly, dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers hid behind two earthen tanks, either squatted forward, or lying on the ground, and the Japanese in the stronghold finally panicked.

Many light and heavy machine guns turned their guns and fired at the earthen tanks, trying to block the monsters in the mouths of the two Japanese.

"Wuwuwu...boombo..." Soon, the mortars and grenade launchers that the Japanese had not used were fired, and all the shells hit the earthen tank and exploded.

Fortunately for Xiong Changhe, the earth tank stopped for a moment and continued to move forward!
