"Hit ...... Bang bang bang ......"

The battalion commander held the box cannon in his hand, fired five shots in a row, and rushed to the front two devils without saying a word, and fell directly to the ground.

"Dada...... Bang bang bang ......"

Light and heavy machine guns, rifles, shoot together, bullets rain down on the devils.

The Japanese troops, who were completely exposed to the guns, were caught off guard and were swept down in an instant.

But they also reacted quickly, and after a short period of confusion, they quickly lay on the ground, and in groups of several people, they gathered around the machine guns to counterattack.

Accurate marksmanship caused the ambush to begin to suffer casualties.

"The artillery fires and blows up the places where there are many people, and you can't let the little devils concentrate." The battalion commander ordered.

Pick up the rifle of a sacrificial soldier next to him, hold it flat in his hand, three points and one line, put a devil machine gun glove into the crosshair, and then pull the trigger.

"Bang ......" "Bang Bang Bang ......"

As soon as the gunshots rang out in my ears, three explosions rang out.

Three fires erupted in the darkness more than 100 meters away, thick smoke filled the air, and the blown up dirt, the corpses of devils, stumps and broken arms, and the heavenly maidens flew everywhere like scattered flowers.

The two screaming Zhenghuan's light machine guns were silent on the spot and lost their movement.

The explosion of "boom ......" continued to sound, and more than half of the little devils who were not many were quickly blown up, and the remaining two dozen devils were scattered although they were alive, and they were scattered everywhere, fighting their own battles.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands.

No matter how powerful the little devil's combat power was, one person could not stop more than a dozen Eighth Route Army from attacking at the same time, and soon the gunfire on the battlefield stopped.

"Artillery cover, we continue to attack the stronghold!" After eating the two squads of the devils in one bite, the first battalion commander was even more confident in taking the stronghold, and ordered with excitement.

"Each mortar first fired twenty shells, staring at the little devil turret and the dark fort to stun all the Japanese puppet troops inside, and then we attacked again and killed them by surprise."

"Artillery fires ......"

More than 3,000 mules and horses, five in a row, led by two warriors.

The mighty team of mules and horses stretched for two kilometers, along the road, and hurried forward.

Li Hao and Commander Chen walked in the middle of the team, and they could clearly see the fires rising on the battlefield not far away, and hear the dense gunfire coming from the battlefield.

As he walked, a cavalry communicator suddenly caught up.

"Chief, our battalion commander asked me to report that the troops successfully captured the Dongzhuang stronghold, and all the Japanese puppet troops inside were wiped out, and fifty-three puppet soldiers were captured."

"The battalion commander is hurrying behind with the prisoners and captures, chasing the chief and the convoy."

Commander Chen was not shocked, as if he had expected this result a long time ago, and immediately ordered: "Tell your battalion commander to divide a company to escort the prisoners and booty to chase the convoy, and the others are five kilometers behind the convoy." ”

"Yes, Chief......"

It wasn't until the cavalry correspondent left that Li Hao reacted from the shock that the news brought him.

In his opinion, the battle ended a little too quickly.

You must know that the first battalion is not the main battalion of the garrison regiment, with only more than 300 people at full strength, and the light and heavy machine guns are only half of the main battalion of the garrison regiment, and they are not equipped with mortars.

Letting a main battalion of the garrison regiment attack the stronghold defended by the puppet army for more than 300 days may not necessarily end the battle so quickly, but the first battalion did it.

This shows that the combat effectiveness of the first battalion is very strong, and even if there is a shortage of weapons and ammunition, it will not affect them to fight devils.

Li Hao's first reaction was to be impressed, and he wanted to see how they did it.

Then he couldn't help but ask: "Chief, is there a battalion in each main battalion in the base area that is so powerful?" ”

Commander Chen shook his head: "The first battalion is an old unit, and most of the soldiers in it have crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they have very rich combat experience. Such a unit has only one regiment per division, and the other main forces are all newly expanded, poorly equipped, with few veterans, and their combat effectiveness is at most half that of the old units. ”

Speaking of this, Commander Chen obviously let out a long sigh, and then continued: "It's just that the equipment is too poor, the ammunition is too small, and the troops lack heavy weapons. ”

"If it is in normal times, if the first battalion wants to take the Dongzhuang stronghold, it can only fight for its life and use explosives to bomb it."

"After a battle, even if the troops are all veterans, more than half of the casualties will be killed."

"The reason why the fight went so smoothly just now was because there were three heavy mortars and the ammunition you brought back to reinforce them."

"If there is enough ammunition, the combat effectiveness of several main regiments can be increased by at least two percent, and even if we meet the same number of little devils face to face, we can fight together."

Li Hao looked thoughtful.

It can be seen from this battle that the combat effectiveness of these old units of the Eighth Route Army definitely exceeds that of the garrison regiment.

The reason why the garrison regiment was able to defeat the little devils again and again relied on excellent equipment, sufficient ammunition, and a sufficient number of heavy weapons.

If these reliance are gone, the overall combat effectiveness of the garrison regiment will definitely be greatly reduced.

There are times when equipment is broken, when ammunition is used up, and when heavy weapons can't catch up with the battle......

If these problems come together on the battlefield, will the garrison still be able to fight the devils?

Thinking of this, Li Hao decided that after going back, he would also train a few old eight roads like the first battalion.

The situation facing the Eighth Route Army will become more and more grim in the future, and if all its combat effectiveness is pinned on weapons and ammunition, once the Japanese puppet army intensifies the blockade of the base areas, the arsenal will not be able to obtain raw materials, and the supply of weapons and ammunition for the troops will certainly be insufficient, and it will suffer a big loss at that time.

Iron striking also needs its own hardness, only the combat effectiveness has been improved, like a battalion, even if there is no sophisticated equipment, it still dares to fight with the little devils, so that the troops will not suffer losses no matter what the circumstances, and finally hold on to victory.

In the Taiyue base area, the chief of staff looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to Commander Chen's return.

As soon as Li Hao and Commander Chen entered the war room, the chief of staff hurriedly reported: "Commander, if you don't come back, the devil will kill our headquarters." ”

"The attack of the little devil in the middle lane is the fiercest, breaking through the three lines of defense of the second division in a row, and it is less than thirty kilometers away from the headquarters, and it will be here tomorrow night at the latest."

"What about the other two little devils?" Commander Chen quickly entered the state and asked, staring at the map.

"The little devil on the left is still sixty kilometers away from us," replied the chief of staff, pointing to ......the map.

"The little devil on the right is still fifty kilometers away from us."

Commander Chen looked at the map and asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's taboo for a lone army to go deep, the distance between the little devil in the middle and the attacking troops on the two wings has been stretched to fifty kilometers, and it is not afraid that we will pull out our teeth and eat them."

The chief of staff replied helplessly: "They are not afraid. ”

"The reason why they dare to go deep alone is because they are strong enough."

"There are three infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, a tank squadron, more than 300 cavalry, and more than 1,000 imperial troops to cooperate in the operation, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people."

"The Second Division fought three battles with them, and only killed less than five hundred little devils, but they lost more than one regiment, and five or six regiments were almost disabled."

"I see." Commander Chen suddenly replied, and his already frowning brows became deeper and deeper.
