On the offensive position more than 500 meters away from the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army in Guanshan Town, Li Hao had a serious face.

From time to time, he raised his binoculars to look at the brightly lit Japanese puppet army positions not far away, and then glanced at the hand-drawn plan of the stronghold of the reconnaissance company.

"Regiment commander, the key to taking the stronghold is whether the heavy artillery battalion can destroy these dirt buns." Hong Linfeng pointed to the sketch and analyzed.

"The devils are too vigilant, in addition to repairing the bunkers, they also cover these bunkers with sandbags at least one meter thick to offset the damage of the cannonballs to the bunkers."

"As long as these bunkers can be destroyed, the Japanese puppet army hidden in the fortifications has nothing to fear, even if they are smashed with shells, they can blow them all up."

Li Hao nodded and asked, "The heavy artillery battalion is ready!" ”

"Ten heavy guns, all ready to fire." Hong Linfeng hurriedly replied, and then looked at Li Hao, waiting for him to give the order to attack.

Li Hao did not hesitate, glanced at the time and began to order: "Five minutes later, that is, at eleven o'clock, we will attack on time." ””

"The heavy artillery battalion was responsible for razing a dozen dirt bags on the position and then destroying these bunkers."

"Under the cover of the heavy artillery battalion, the attacking troops moved to a position of 300 meters in front of the formation and set up flying thunder artillery."

"As soon as the heavy artillery stopped, the flying thunder artillery continued to fire, and then the heavy mortars, ordinary mortars, all opened fire to cover the infantry assault."

"All mountain artillery and field artillery are on standby to counterattack the artillery positions of the Japanese puppet army."

"The heavy artillery battalion cannot underestimate the enemy, at least half of the artillery is left on standby to counterattack the Japanese heavy artillery units."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese army here also has a squadron of heavy artillery, a total of four heavy guns."

"As long as these heavy artillery pieces are exposed, the heavy artillery battalion must take them out as soon as possible, and they must not be allowed to threaten our attacking forces."

"I'm going to settle the battle with shells tonight. Prepare an unprecedented feast of artillery fire for the devils. ”

"Boom ......"

The sound of the cannon soon sounded behind him, because it was too far away, and it had become faint when it reached everyone's ears.

The cannonballs quickly swept over everyone's heads with the sound of "woo woo woo ......" and smashed into the positions of the Japanese puppet army.

The flames were scattered and the smoke was filled.

Blown sandbags, logs, dirt, gravel, and scattered flowers flew everywhere in the air.

Under the light of the fire, Li Hao saw all this very clearly.

"Baga, it's heavy artillery, sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking us has heavy artillery, at least five of them." The captain of the artillery group shouted.

Dazuo scolded with a calm face: "Bage Yalu, who can tell me what's going on?" ”

"Didn't the military headquarters say that the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment had already been destroyed by them? So where did these heavy artillery come from. ”

After speaking, Dazuo shifted his gaze to the engineer captain: "Can our bunker withstand heavy artillery strikes?" ”

The engineer captain shook his head and replied, "I can't hold on for long." ”

"As long as several shells in a row all hit one point, the bunker will be destroyed."

"If the Eighth Route Army waits another five days to launch an attack, and when the cement of the bunker is completely solidified, our bunker can withstand at least five heavy artillery shells in a row, not now, the drying time is too short, at most three can be withheld."

Hearing this, the flustered Dazuo recovered a little bit of confidence, and the whole person became calmer.

"It's enough to withstand three shells in a row."

"Heavy artillery is a long-range support artillery, and it is too difficult to hit a single point with shells in a row, and two out of ten shells may not hit a point."

"And we also have heavy artillery, and with them for counterattacks, the hit rate of the heavy artillery units of the garrison regiment will be even lower."

"There are a total of eighteen bunkers covered with sandbags in front, and the garrison wants to destroy them all, and it will definitely not be possible without a thousand heavy artillery shells."

"In addition, they don't know that our bunker is made of cement, which is several times stronger than the original brick and wood structure."

"So surely they won't waste thousands of precious heavy artillery shells on these bunkers in the first place."

"Order the troops to be ready for battle, and after the artillery bombardment of the garrison regiment is over, the front-line positions should put the enemy's attacking troops close to fifty meters before they can shoot, and kill and wound more of their attacking troops."

"The second-line position is on standby, and no one can act rashly without my orders."

"Ono-kun......" Osa finally shifted his gaze to the captain of the artillery group.

"I will hand over to you all the heavy artillery, large-caliber mortars, mountain artillery, field artillery, and infantry artillery equipped by the troops."

"Even if we can't completely destroy the artillery units of the garrison regiment, we must find a way to suppress them and not let them attack our infantry with all their might."

"Mortar squadrons, with artillery squads as units, attack the attacking units of the garrison regiment and cover the infantry operations."

"Boom...... Woowoo woo ......"

Four Japanese heavy guns soon joined the battle, relieving the pressure on the infantry.

But it was soon met with a head-on counterattack from the heavy artillery units of the garrison, and the number of heavy artillery shelling bunkers did not decrease.

Without numerical superiority, no matter how powerful the captain of the devil artillery brigade is, he can only command four heavy artillery and our heavy artillery that has just been exposed by the garrison regiment to bombard and fight for consumption.

The garrison regiment attacked the position, Li Hao held the binoculars, and his eyes never left the battlefield.

Seeing that the Japanese positions were constantly being blown up, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Dazuo was right, he really didn't know that the bunker he was going to attack tonight was a concrete structure, but it was to be fought as the original brick and wood structure.

As long as the sandbags on the top of the bunker are blown open and a cannonball smashes next to the bunker, the Japanese puppet army in the bunker will lose their combat effectiveness and will either be killed or wounded.

So in Li Hao's eyes, the dirt bag was blown up, and this dark fortress was almost destroyed.

"Commander, all the dirt bags have been blown up!" Hong Linfeng reminded that the expression on his face was very complicated, with shock, excitement, and heartache.

The shock was because the powerful power of the heavy artillery once again shocked him.

The agitation was due to the destruction of the bunkers on the positions of the Japanese puppet army, which posed the greatest threat to the attacking forces.

The heartache was due to the fact that the heavy artillery battalion had just fired too many shells.

In just ten minutes, two hundred and fifty shells were fired out by five heavy guns, and more than 300 shells were lost with the counterattacking Japanese heavy artillery squadrons.

These shells were all brought back from Chongqing by the regiment commander, and one shot was missing.

Li Hao also thought of this, and decisively ordered: "Send a signal immediately, the heavy artillery battalion will stop shelling the positions of the Japanese puppet army, continue to suppress the heavy artillery troops exposed by the Japanese army, and the attacking troops will start to assault." ”

Three flares arced, flying into the sky like meteors, and then three white lights burst out over the battlefield, and everyone could see clearly.

"Boom ......"

The flying thunder cannon more than 200 meters away reacted immediately.

In the dull sound of explosions, dozens of gasoline drums erupted into the air like fireworks.

The explosive package was pushed out of the gasoline drum and flew towards the Japanese puppet army position at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Tom ......"

Mortars also joined the battle, and the moment the flames erupted from the barrels, the shells flew out together and smashed into the positions of the Japanese puppet army with a slight scream.

The flames splashed, the smoke was filled, and at least thirty fireballs rose from the Japanese puppet army's position at once, and black smoke quickly rose under their wrapping and soared into the sky.
