Rise from the sword

Chapter 144 Boom

The shell flew across a low-elongation trajectory visible to the naked eye and flew towards the devil's gun tower.

In an instant.

boom···

On the outer wall of the gun tower, black gunpowder smoke burst out along with the explosion fireball, and then sand, stones and broken bricks fell down, and the gunpowder smoke quickly dissipated, only to see that the devil's gun tower was hesitant to be chewed by a dog, and a large piece was missing. However, there is no exposure inside the turret, and the structure is still intact.

The muzzle velocity of the 70 infantry artillery shells is not fast, and the power of the 82mm low-pressure grenade is not even comparable to that of the [-] mortar, but the penetration is exceeded, so this artillery only damaged part of the outer wall of the turret.

"Hahaha, it's so fucking exciting..."

Staring at the large defect in the Devil's turret in the distance, Yansheng laughed heartily.

If in the past, to destroy such a large block of gun towers, it would take repeated impacts with explosive packs several times, and at least the lives of several soldiers would have to be sacrificed. Now, it is easy to shoot from a distance of 800 meters.

"Come again."

He tore off his hat and took another shell.

Pull the breech bolt, withdraw the cartridge, glance at the gun bore, and confirm that there is no foreign matter left, Yansheng puts in another shell, closes the breech bolt, refers to the error of the previous shot, and aligns the muzzle more accurately with the center of the gun tower , then pull the firing cord.

Bang!
The scorching wind swept over the muzzle, and the artillery squad soldiers looked up at the flying shell with their necks raised.

boom···

Amidst the explosion, there was another burst of masonry debris falling, and a large piece of the devil's gun tower was missing again. This time, it even pierced through the gun tower, and a hole appeared. Through the hole, one could see the panicked people inside the gun tower. Devils and puppet soldiers.

In front of the turret, more than 100 commando soldiers led by Zhang Dabiao were also prostrate on the ground, looking eagerly at the devil turret that seemed to have been bitten, with excitement in their eyes.

The devil finally couldn't bear it anymore, a machine gun popped out from the hole of the machine gun, and there was a burst of rattling at the artillery position. Suddenly, a series of bullets shot towards the artillery position.

However, the distance of 800 meters is too far. Even the 7.7mm bullets of the Type [-] heavy machine guns have dropped in power and accuracy. Only a few bullets hit the target, and all of them were blocked by the preset bunkers of the artillery positions. The shots had no effect, except for a few spots of dust.

"Come again."

The tragedy of the devil's gun tower and the helplessness of the devil made Yan Sheng and the artillery squad feel extremely happy, full of energy, and another shell was handed up.

This time, Yansheng aimed the muzzle at the devil's machine gun shooting hole.

Boom... When the cannon went down, it was shot crookedly, hitting the wall on one side, and a large piece of masonry collapsed, but the power of the explosion also enlarged the shooting hole several times, and then adjusted the muzzle , Continue, the second shot, the Devil's machine gun misfired, and the shooting hole was expanded into a door.Immediately afterwards, the height was adjusted slightly, and then another shot was fired. This shot just hit the gap in the devil's gun tower, and the shell exploded inside the gun tower.

boom!
Thick gunpowder smoke gushed out from all over the gun tower.

At the same time, outside the blockhouse, Zhang Dabiao also seized the opportunity:
"While the little devil is blown into a daze, let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Dabiao led more than 100 members of the commando towards the Devil's Fortress.

The remaining devils reacted quickly, and a few crooked guns popped out of the shooting holes everywhere. A burst of muzzle fireworks flashed, and Zhang Dabiao had to order the troops to crawl and hide again due to the dense firepower network.

However, at this time Zhang Dabiao had advanced only 200 meters away from the gun tower.

"Come on, push the cannon up quickly."

Seeing that the devils were dealing with Zhang Dabiao, Yansheng yelled and rushed forward pushing the infantry cannon.

The light weight of the Type 400 infantry gun and its steel wheels make it comparable to a mortar for short-distance maneuvering. When the devil realizes it, the artillery has been pushed to a place less than [-] meters away from the devil's gun tower.

"Come again."

Amidst Yansheng's cheerful roar, several more shells flew towards the devil's gun tower.

Boom boom boom!
Gunpowder smoke shrouded, gravel collapsed.

After fifteen consecutive shots, the devil's blockhouse was riddled with holes, billowing gunpowder smoke permeated the interior of the blockhouse, and there was no movement of devils in the blockhouse for a long time.

At this time, only one member of the attacking commando was injured and was hit by stray bullets from the Devil's machine gun.

With ample inventory in his pocket, Captain Li also let go of his hands and feet, and established a grand shooting discipline.

The small artillery building, which is less than a dozen devils and puppet troops, can fire three artillery pieces, and at most five artillery pieces.In the middle artillery building, more than 20 to [-] devils and puppet troops are stationed, and [-] to [-] shells are fired.There is half a squad of devils stationed in the big gun tower, equipped with a gun tower with heavy machine guns, within [-] to [-] rounds.As for the reinforced concrete blockhouse, let's talk about it next time!
The artillery building in front of me is a big artillery building, and there are more than 30 devils in it.

"Okay, save the shells, the devil has fallen."

Holding up the binoculars to look at the devil's gun tower billowing with smoke, the last few shelling shots just now all got into the gun tower, as if igniting the things inside the gun tower, and killed many devils, Yansheng stopped and continued the shelling.

"rush!"

Outside the blockhouse, Zhang Dabiao led the commando to charge.

Behind him, da da da..., a dense rain of bullets shot at the devil's gun tower, and the machine gun team's firepower firmly suppressed the ghost's sporadic counterattacks. Today's gun tower is like a sieve, with air leaks everywhere, and its defense ability is even worse. Simple civil bunkers are not as good.

In the gun tower, the leader of the devil squad who was overturned by the shell shock wave struggled to get up. The billowing gunpowder smoke made his eyes teary. He rubbed his eyes vigorously. He opened his eyes and looked around. Under the red vision, he saw clearly The situation inside the turret.

There were bloodstains all over the ground, and there were wailing wounded everywhere. The closed environment of the gun tower increased the power of the explosion dramatically. Before the enemy attacked, the defense team had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and only less than ten people could barely form a counterattack.

Through the wide-open outer wall, he looked outside. At this time, an Eighth Route Army had already broken into the gun tower, and a grenade was thrown in along the wide-open gun tower, and landed at the feet of the Devil Captain.

The serious injuries caused by the shells prevented the leader of the devil team from escaping in time.

boom···

"Baga, how can the Eighth Route Army have infantry artillery, and it seems to be more powerful than the empire. At the last moment when the grenade exploded, the leader of the devil squad did not understand why the enemy had cannons until he died.

At the beginning of the design, the gun towers in the base area were not envisaged to defend against the bombardment of cannons.On the contrary, the top has been strengthened to resist continuous hits from mortars.

After all, in the past few years, the Eighth Route Army has never seen a body gun, and there are very few mortars.

"Report to the captain, five brothers were injured and three died."

Ten minutes later, outside the completely collapsed devil's turret, Zhang Dabiao's thick black brows stretched out:
"Clean up the battlefield and send a few people to send the wounded back to Yang Village. Let's go to the next devil's artillery building."

Zhang Dabiao was very satisfied with this battle.

The effect of the infantry artillery was much better than he had imagined.

After eradicating thirty devils, only eight of them were injured, and only three were sacrificed, and they still fought against the devils' artillery towers. This was an unprecedented victory.

As for the eight casualties, three sacrificed...

Even if you are willing to spend a lot of shells to completely collapse the devil's turret, it is impossible to completely avoid it. Although the devil is extremely vicious, in terms of fighting will, it is not inferior to the independent regiment.

Zhang Dabiao had to admit this in his heart.

"go!"

"Let's go to the gun tower in Du Village."

Yansheng has already disassembled and assembled the infantry artillery, and is eager to try the next artillery tower.

He didn't feel excited at all after a dozen shots just now.

······
It was evening, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, within one day today, five blockhouses including Du Village, Xiaoma Village, Dutou, and Dongyang Village were attacked by the Eighth Route Army. All the imperial troops in these blockhouses were smashed to pieces."

"According to the news from the imperial army in these artillery towers, the enemy used two [-]-type infantry artillery to bombard them continuously, which led to the artillery towers being easily breached by the enemy."

In Shou County, a staff officer reported the news that made his scalp tingle to many people in Hei Dao.

In one day and one night, five consecutive main artillery towers near Shou County were pulled out, and nearly a hundred imperial soldiers were killed.

"Any news about other blockhouses?" Hei Dao asked quickly.

After Koizumi Taze was ambushed and wiped out, he sensibly shrank the defense, withdrew a few unimportant and low-defense gun towers, leaving only twelve gun towers on the main traffic arteries, and strengthened the defense measure.

It was thought that it could resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army, or at least block the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

Unexpectedly, not only did the speed not slow down, but it was greatly accelerated, and five of his turrets were unplugged in just one day.

Also, how could the Eighth Route Army have the Type [-] infantry artillery.

Even if you have a gun!Since the start of the war, although not many Type [-] infantry guns have been captured, there are still a few.

But isn't the barrage of shelling a bit too much?

How do they have so many shells?
Where did they get so many shells?
That idiot let the Eighth Route Army capture so many shells?

Don't tell me that the Eighth Route Army can make its own shells!

Many people in Hei Dao were filled with anger.

"The five artillery towers on the main road are all intact and have not been attacked, but they reported during the day that they found a long-distance observation post of the Eighth Route Army." The staff officer responded.

Every day, the Shou County Staff Department will summarize the intelligence of each blockhouse.

The gun towers on the main road are all reinforced concrete structures, with strong defense and many garrisons.

"Xiao Luozhuang, where are the two gun towers in Shangbao?" Hei Dao people asked.

His tone was a little tense.

The Type [-] infantry artillery is not powerful enough to destroy the reinforced concrete blockhouses. He understands and can imagine that the Eighth Route Army did not attack these five blockhouses. Moreover, these blockhouses have recently deepened and widened the surrounding trenches to a width of five meters, and added barbed wire Therefore, unless the Eighth Route Army is willing to pay the price of hundreds of people before there is no way to destroy the firepower of the artillery towers, it is absolutely impossible to attack these artillery towers.

However, the two artillery towers of Xiaoluozhuang and Shangbao were built with mortar and masonry due to insufficient materials, and their defense was not strong enough to withstand the continuous bombardment of the Type [-] infantry artillery.

"The connection is still there."

The first sentence of the staff officer made many people in Heidao breathe a sigh of relief. Just when he was surprised that the Eighth Route Army did not continue to attack due to insufficient shells, the next words of the staff officer made him feel bored.

"However, a large number of Eighth Route Army investigators appeared near these two artillery towers today. Judging from the signs, the Eighth Route Army is about to attack these two artillery towers."

"Is about to attack..."

"Bagaya Road."

Many people in the underworld glanced at the staff officer in front of the table, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the boredom in their hearts.

He suddenly understood why those officers liked to slap their subordinates.

In the absence of reinforcements, he did not dare to go out to support, otherwise Lieutenant Koizumi Tazawa would be a lesson for him.And watching the blockhouses being pulled out one by one by the Eighth Route Army, but I have no choice but to do nothing, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

This kind of pressure, beating someone is indeed a good way to vent.

Suddenly want to hit someone.

"Go down."

Many people in Hei Dao waved their hands, and hurriedly let the staff leave before he wanted to try the slap decompression method.

"Come on."

Afterwards, he called the report staff: "Send a telegram to the Taiyuan Headquarters."

The night was getting dark, and Shanxi in early July was scorching hot, and the devils who were forced to hide in the gun towers were extremely hot and unbearable.

Today, five consecutive blockhouses were pulled out, and the news that the Eighth Route Army had artillery has been conveyed to each blockhouse. The devils in the blockhouses were frightened, and all the blockhouses quickly strengthened their defenses. Even the doors were closed and there was no ventilation. Naturally, it was unbearably hot.

"Humph."

At night, Captain Li personally dispatched, and he took the second [-]-type infantry gun to the outside of a devil's artillery building.This is a large artillery building, more than ten meters high, and half a squad of devils and puppet troops are stationed inside.

Seeing that the devil was too frightened to even leave the door, Captain Li sneered.

Then his face changed from contempt to happiness.

Leader Li Da smiled happily:

"Haha, is there a time when little devils are afraid?"

"Hit the fuck up for me." Leader Li Datuan, whose hands were already itchy, fired the cannon himself this time, aiming at the devil's gun tower at a distance of 800 meters, and pulled the firing rope happily.

"This dog is happier than marrying a wife." On the side, Zhao Gang, who came together, curled his lips.

······
Taiyuan.

Inside the First Army Headquarters.

Shinozuka Yoshio is in a good mood recently.

very good.

Since ignoring Li Yunlong, the good news from all over the world has made him eat well and sleep well, and his whole body has improved a lot, so that this old thing actually gave birth to the illusion that he is still young , I plan to go to the battlefield one day to try whether my sword skills are worthy of the samurai sword bestowed by the emperor.

In the evening, after drinking a glass of cold wine, Yoshio Shinozuka was in a happy mood.

The cage tactics were implemented very smoothly. Around the Zhengtai Railway, the Eighth Route Army, which lacked heavy weapons, was completely powerless to block the blockades and roads. Seeing that their so-called grounds were being divided, they could only choose to retreat.

Every day, the chains and cages are being extended, and it won't be long before the so-called North China base behind the enemy...

snort!
It will be chained to death by the fine steel chains of the Great Japanese Empire.

"Report to the general, urgent call from Shou County..."

Suddenly, outside the headquarters, a devil staff officer hurried in.
