In Zaozhuang, the Chinese army has been advancing continuously, and the Japanese army has four defense points in the village, three watchtowers in the east and west, the water tower of the Zhongxing Coal Company, and the Zhongxing Middle School, and at the same time there are an unknown number of stragglers hidden in the houses.

After Chen Chunyi led the troops to search forward, he finally saw the towering watchtower, everyone knew that there were likely Japanese troops in it, so he ordered the forward troops to stop, and only sent a platoon of the second battalion to search and advance. The others lay down on the spot, found shelter, and prepared to take cover.

The platoon quickly dispersed and advanced, some of the untrained recruits failed to move in time when changing formations, and were only in place under the drive of the squad leader and veterans, the watchtower opposite, about ten meters high, was empty on it, only some sandbags, and a few firing ports were opened on the watchtower, and it was obvious that someone had been stationed.

In the watchtower, the Japanese army looked at the Chinese army outside, waiting for the best time to shoot, looking at the Chinese army looming in the distance, the Japanese army knew that they were afraid that it was going to end, and the battle of the trapped beasts was often even more crazy.

In the watchtower, two crooked machine guns had been aimed at the attacking troops, and the rest were all 38 guns. The soldiers of the national army cautiously groped forward, gradually approaching the watchtower, and some of the recruits also let go of their courage, and walked so many steps without moving, maybe there was no one inside, and their feet were upside down faster.

Da Da Da - the crooked handle in the shooting port fired, and the sudden shot knocked down half a platoon of the national army, only a few veterans fired a few shots at the watchtower, and then, the remaining soldiers of this platoon ran back, and the recruits were naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Chen Chunyi held back his anger and did not deal with these soldiers who ran first, so he should have fire reconnaissance.

"Second battalion commander, organize an attack and take this watchtower."

The second battalion commander had no good way, he could only cover with heavy machine guns, and then the infantry rushed, this is also a master who is not brainy, Chen Chun did not have five minutes after finishing the order, he rushed up with a company. The only remaining heavy machine guns in the regiment raised their tripods and fired fiercely at the shots on the watchtowers, and the covering troops also used all kinds of firearms in their hands to fiercely attack the watchtowers.

The Japanese soldiers in the watchtower suffered casualties, and bullets came through the firing holes, killing the Japanese soldiers who were shooting. But the fire was still being fired, and the infantry company led by the commander of the second battalion was crowded in a small area, swept away by the dense fire.

"Don't mess around, rush up, hit me."

The soldiers desperately shot at the watchtower, and after paying nearly 30 casualties, they finally approached the watchtower, some veterans took out grenades, threw them, and smashed on the low edge of the watchtower, and the explosion only blew up a small piece of the outer wall of the watchtower, and the other effect was to interfere with the shooting of the Japanese army.

The advance distance of the pure infantry is already the limit here, the soldiers lie on the ground and shoot upward, while the Japanese army's 38 guns and crooked handles cooperate, and the Chinese soldiers below are named one by one, and the corpses of Chinese soldiers are everywhere in front of the watchtower.

Chen Chunyi was very angry, there was no way, if the mortar company of the regiment was still there at this time, a few artillery could bombard this watchtower.

Boom - a few more soldiers threw grenades, this time it was different from the last time, several veterans rushed through the smoke of grenades, the Japanese soldiers shot blindly, killed several veterans, and finally two veterans rushed to the bottom of the watchtower, the Japanese army sensed that the situation was wrong, and tried to throw grenades from the top of the watchtower, killing the soldiers of the national army who came by assault.

A 91-type grenade was thrown from the top of the watchtower, but unfortunately it flew out with some force, killing only two Chinese soldiers lying on their stomachs in the distance. The assaulted veteran climbed against the wall of the watchtower, looking for the firing port.

"Brothers, hit the watchtower on the top, and the devil throws thunder on it." Chen Chunyi shouted, and the officers and soldiers of the covering troops and the soldiers of the main attack company began to transfer part of their firepower to the top of the watchtower to suppress the Japanese troops on the top of the watchtower.

A Japanese soldier was caught off guard and was hit by a bullet fired from below, and even people with grenades fell on the top of the watchtower, and the explosion of the grenade made a small gap in the top of the watchtower.

At this time, the two veterans had also touched the bottom of the firing port, and the upper firing port was bubbling with fire, and the crooked machine gun was constantly harvesting the lives of the Chinese soldiers. The two veterans each touched under the two machine gun holes, pulled out grenades, and as long as they killed the two machine guns, the watchtower was finished.

One of the veterans straightened up and slipped the grenade into it, but before it could explode, the grenade was thrown backwards, and the explosion caused the crooked handle to stop firing, killing the veteran. Another veteran looked at the mutilated corpses of his comrades, and he knew that it was impossible to throw them away and leave.

Looking at the corpses all over the place, those increasing corpses, he had to fight, he took out all the grenades, and picked up the grenades of his comrades who had just died, and tied them together, just enough to block the firing port.

Crawling under the firing port, he was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to change the crooked handle, the devil machine gun is not very easy to use, not to mention the jam, the reload has to be loaded with a bridge clamp a little bit.

The Japanese machine gunner hit hard, and the Chinese soldier who touched it should have been killed—this was his inner thought.

The bullets in the bucket are quickly depleted,

"Yaga, play up." The Heavy called in the co-shooter, and the two men took down the hot machine guns and reloaded them with five-round bridge clips. The machine-gun fire stopped, and another crooked handle happened to run out of bullets, and the Japanese made a mistake that cost them their lives.

There was a brief pause in firepower, so that the Japanese could only hit the veteran with a rifle, and saw the opportunity to stand up, the grenade had been delayed in advance, and he stuffed it into the firing port and threw it into the watchtower.

"Grenade! Throw it out. ”

The Japanese soldiers in the watchtower were in a state of confusion, and some of them rushed over quickly, picked up the grenade and threw it out.

The veteran was very calm, very calmly blocked the firing port with his body, he did not die, and there would be more brothers who died.

When it was dark at the firing port, the Japanese soldiers with grenades knew that it was too late and they were finished, and some anxious Japanese soldiers frantically shot their rifles at the shooting holes, and the veterans' chests were beaten into honeycombs. The Japanese soldier with the grenade knew that he was finished, and the watchtower was finished, because it was too late to throw it at another perforation.

Boom - there was a loud bang, an explosion in the watchtower, the people inside were blown up, flesh and blood flew sideways, smoke came out of the shooting port, and several pieces of masonry outside were shaken off.

At the same time, there was also the corpse of the veteran.

"Brothers, go up, avenge the dead brethren!" As soon as the soldiers of the main attack company got up, Chen Chunyi rushed forward with his people.

"Kill" the sacrifice of the veterans and the tragedy of the recruits aroused the blood in everyone's hearts, at this moment, regardless of the veterans and recruits, everyone rushed over in a swarm and rushed into the watchtower......

After sporadic gunfire, the Japanese watchtowers were completely captured.
