Lei Jian led the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th battalions of the 1st Regiment to launch the most fierce fire attack on the Zhangcun Battery, but the Japanese squadron, with the help of the strong artillery tower, burst out with fierce fire from the upper and lower layers of gun holes and carried out a counterattack.

On the first floor of the turret, the Japanese opened the iron gate into the turret, laid three curved guns and six grenadiers outside the turret door, and used the half-man-high bunker to quickly fire shells.

One shell after another fell in the ranks of the attacking Eighth Route Army, putting great fire pressure on the attacking turrets.

Lei Jian really felt aggrieved, stood up and was about to rush to the front to command in person, but was dragged by an urgent telegram sent by Zhang Ping, director of the Electrical Investigation Department, braving artillery fire, this urgent telegram sent by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters, ordering the only regiment to contain and reinforce the Japanese Ninth Brigade on Zhengtai Road at Tiehuo Mountain.

He quickly adjusted the combat troops on the outside line, and stood by on the spot after completing the task, while he was angry at the artillery tower that could not be attacked for a long time in front of him, and he said to the communicator: "Pass my order, order the second, third, and fourth battalions to launch the most fierce attack on the enemy's artillery tower, and must destroy the devil's artillery tower within half an hour." ”

For a while, around the turret, the screams of bursting light and heavy weapons sounded, and powerful firepower rushed towards the turret.

The leader of the devil squadron in the turret laughed and said: "Yeh, the shells of Tubalu can't help my turret, just light and heavy machine gun bullets, no matter how fierce the firepower is, it won't shake my turret, hahaha." ”

At this time, the commander of the Huang Company jumped into the underground passage with a gas lamp, and at first he could straighten up and walk in, but the further he went, the narrower the underground passage became, and then he had to hunch his waist to pass.

Just as the Huang Company Commander groped his way forward, he vaguely saw a faint light flashing in front of him, and suddenly heard the voices of several devils in front of the passage, one of whom said: "The stupid pig of the Eighth Road, trying to destroy the turret of the Imperial Japanese Army with bullets is simply the behavior of pigs." ”

Another little devil echoed and said: "The Great Japanese Imperial Army is an invincible and heroic army in Zhizhi, and when the shells are transported into the turret, they will hit the troops of the Tuba Road hard, the ....... of the Tuba Road, the lights in front of it, what kind of work?" ”

When the commander of the Huang Company heard the voice of the devil in front of him, he was nervous and was just about to give an order, and the two soldiers who followed closely behind him quickly retreated, but the devil suddenly shouted and asked, and he asked in a hurry: "What are you doing?" ”

"Bastard, we were ordered by the squadron leader to go to the ammunition depot to get shells, you are not on guard at the munitions depot, why did you get into the tunnels? Why is that? The devil on the other side reprimanded fiercely.

Huang Lianchang's Japanese conversation level was not very good, and he was afraid that talking too much would arouse the suspicion of the devil, so he learned from the little devil and scolded rudely: "Baga, you bastard." ”

He whispered orders to the two fighters behind him, "Put down the explosives, and prepare to kill these little devils." Company Commander Huang said, deliberately lowering the gas lamp in his hand, so as not to be discovered by the devils who came over and recognized that they were wearing the clothes of the Eighth Route Army.

Two little devils walked over from the opposite side, because the tunnel is narrow, it will be inconvenient to come in too much at a time, these devils who usually replenish weapons and ammunition outside, now blocked by firepower can only take the underground passage, take the weapons and ammunition that are urgently needed in the turret, the two devils walked into the tunnel, and they would not have thought that they would meet the people who came over.

The two little devils were scolded, and they bent over and scolded and quickly rushed towards Huang Lianchang.

Company Commander Huang hid the bayonet behind his back, he didn't have time to rub with the devils in the tunnel, he had to solve it in the shortest possible time, he knew that every minute and second of delay, the troops attacking the turret outside would shed more blood and sacrifice a few more soldiers.

He carried a lamp in his left hand, and his right hand was ready to kill the enemy at any time, bending down and walking quickly to meet the little devil who came by.

The prepared Huang Company Commander had just met the devils who came over, and he laughed and said, "Yanxi, your death is dead." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Lian Chang took advantage of the unprepared devil's head to arch to his chest, and his right hand popped out from behind and stabbed straight into the devil's chest.

The little devil in front was stabbed to death by Huang Company Commander unsuspectingly, and Huang Company Commander once again 'haha' laughed and held the devil who was about to fall, and shouted to the devil who followed behind: "Your come." ”

When the devil in the back saw his companion in front of him, he shook and was about to fall, and when he was suspicious in his heart, he smelled a kind of blood, and he was so frightened that he turned around and was about to run back.

How could Commander Huang give him a chance? Throwing the devil who was leaning on him to the ground, he shook off the gas lamp with his left hand, and suddenly rushed forward, bending down in the narrow tunnel and just turning around, screaming that he was about to flee back, and threw himself to the ground, and a bayonet killed the little devil.

The two soldiers behind saw the Huang Company Commander fall to the ground, and asked in horror: "Huang Company Commander, Huang Company Commander, you ......." ”

"Don't shout, grab the explosives and crawl over the dead devil." Company Commander Huang ordered in a low voice, and he took off the shirt and military uniform of the devil under him, put it on his body randomly, and groped his way in front.

During the fight, both gas lamps were thrown on the ground and extinguished, so they had to grope their way forward.

After walking less than fifteen meters, Huang Lian Chang found that there was a faint light in the hole in front of him, and took a few steps forward, and saw that the light was coming in from above through the tunnel entrance, and it turned out that he had already reached the exit.

Company Commander Huang guessed that the exit must be located at a corner of the first floor of the turret, and this kind of emergency passage was only to transport the supplementary military supplies through the tunnel from the inside in order to be in danger in the turret and unable to enter the weapons and ammunition depot from the outside.

Guided by the faint light in front of him, he quickened his pace forward, and the further he went, the stronger the light, and the more intense the sound of gunfire in his ears.

Company Commander Huang finally walked to the tunnel entrance, he slowly poked his head up, and saw that there were two little devils on it, who were delivering shells and heavy machine gun bullets to the exit of the turret, and he didn't pay attention to the tunnel entrance at all, whether there would be danger.

He took a quick look at the top and saw that this should be the first floor of the turret, the entrance of the tunnel was in the northwest corner of the first floor, about five steps away from the inner wall of the turret, and within ten steps of the stairs above.

At this time, a little devil who was carrying the cannonballs suddenly noticed a human head with a steel helmet at the entrance of the tunnel, scanning the first floor of the turret, and he roared angrily: "Bastard, quickly send the cannonballs over." ”

Company Commander Huang was suddenly shouted at by the little devil, and beckoned to him with a smart move, shouting through the mixed sound of guns: "You come here to help, bastard, hurry." ”

The shouting little devil, thinking that the cannonball sent from the tunnel had arrived, ran quickly to the tunnel entrance, just arrived in front of him, Huang Company Commander suddenly shrank down, the little devil lowered his head into the tunnel mouth and just wanted to shout, but Huang Company Commander grabbed the devil's head with both hands, pulled down suddenly, and without waiting for the devil to call, he pulled out the bayonet easily, and the result was this unlucky little devil.

Company Commander Huang did the same and killed the other two devils who were on the first floor of the turret and delivered shells.

Under the tunnel entrance, blocked by three devils who were killed, the commander of the Huang Company shouted in a low voice to the two soldiers behind: "Quickly change into the devil's military uniform, drag the dead devil into the tunnel, and follow me up to the first floor of the turret." ”

Company Commander Huang was the first to jump on the first floor of the turret, he quickly took over the explosives, detonators and fuses handed over, quickly set them up, and then jumped into the tunnel in three or two steps, shouting at the two soldiers to retreat quickly.

Three minutes later, only the deafening explosion sound from above was heard in the tunnel, and the devil's turret, under the powerful explosion power of the four explosive packs placed on the first floor, was blown out of several large holes from the inside, and the foundation of the turret was damaged and in a crumbling state.

As soon as Lei Jian heard a violent explosion in the turret, he didn't know what was going on, and when the dust and mist of the explosion dissipated, the turret was seriously tilted, looking at the shaking appearance, and then poked a finger hard, he could be pushed down.

He ordered the artillery company to bombard the last five shells at the turret, and to destroy the Zhangcun Turret, which the Japanese considered impregnable, in this fierce artillery bombardment.

Five shells poured out, and in the night, five fireballs crashed into the devil's turret, only to hear the sound of explosions, and the roar of 'booming' high objects collapsing and smashing to the ground.

Lei Jian ordered the troops attacking the turret: "Kill into the turret area, destroy the remnants of the enemy puppet army, clean up the battlefield, as long as the troops use it, don't miss even a needle for me." ”

He took the guard platoon, rushed across the suspension bridge, saw the first platoon commander of the sixth company, cried and ran to the second battalion commander standing beside Lei Jian, and cried bitterly and reported: "Report to the battalion commander Song, the commander of the sixth company Huang led two soldiers to jump into the tunnel and drill into the enemy bunker, and the detonating turret has not come out yet, I don't know what ......." ”
