Suddenly strafed by the fire on both sides of the gate of the devil's mining area and the machine gun position, the soldiers who rushed in front were shot and fell in a pool of blood, Li Gang ordered the soldiers to lie down quickly, and he ordered Song Chun, the company commander behind him: "Mortar, blow up the devil's machine gun positions on both sides of the gate for me." ”

'Boom, boom, ......', four shells in a row whistled overhead from behind the attacking fighters, and landed on the devil machine gun positions on both sides of the gate, several machine gunners were killed by the explosive shrapnel, and the two machine guns immediately fell silent.

Li Gang waved his pistol and shouted, "Rush——。 ”

'Sudden .....', the devil's machine gun position on the right side of the gate of the mining area, suddenly broke out again fierce tongues of fire, the soldiers were blocked from advancing, and quickly lay down to carry out a fire counterattack, and for a while the enemy and us fought fiercely.

When Company Commander Song Chun saw that the heavy machine gun position on the right side of the devil had not been destroyed, and the soldiers fell under the guns of the devil, he shouted angrily, fire two more shots for me, and blow up the heavy machine gun position of the devil.

'Boom, boom' two shells fell on the devil's heavy machine gun position on the right side of the gate, and the devil's heavy machine gun positions on both sides of the mine gate were destroyed, Li Gang jumped up and shouted: "Breaking through the mine gate, the sixth company quickly swept the enemy to the right along the inner wall, covered the battalion led by the commander of the Lei regiment, jumped over the wall and rushed into the mining area." ”

A battalion of soldiers took a ladder to quickly climb to the wall, and then slid down the inner wall to the ground of the mining area, the wall was too high, the soldiers who slipped down from the wall could not get up after falling for a long time, and the soldiers who climbed on the wall were like dumplings, constantly jumping down, and the soldiers who fell to the ground first were afraid of the soldiers who jumped down to step on them, and they quickly dodged with rolling and climbing.

Lei Jian has jumped into the mining area, leading the soldiers to grope their way into the mine, the entire mining area is pitch black, and it is impossible to see the potholes under their feet, some soldiers stepped into the pits, and some were tripped by stones, causing many soldiers to break their feet and necks.

Just outside the mine, three signal flares were raised, and the enemy puppet army in the mining area did not know what was happening outside the mine, and looked up to the sky in surprise.

The deputy squadron leader of the devil who was in charge of the new mine in Dongwangshe was startled by the sudden darkness, and he scolded angrily: "Bastard, the power supply is cut off, the machinery and equipment that are working underground will be damaged, and the circuit will be repaired quickly." ”

Cao Chang, the devil who was responsible for the safety of the circuit, took five little devils and quickly rushed to the main distribution room, and was responsible for guarding the underground anti-Japanese forces in the mine of the main distribution room.

The devil Cao Chang screamed: "Shoot, shoot and kill all these rebellious Chinese laborers." ”

The ferocious little devil pulled the trigger and shot the anti-Japanese laborers in the mine who rose up to resist, and more than a dozen laborers fought to the death with the enemy, and finally because they had no weapons in their hands, they were all shot and killed, and they fell in a pool of blood.

The devil Cao Chang rushed into the power distribution room, and when he saw that all the electric switches had been pulled down, he angrily shouted to the devils around him: "Quickly push the electric switch." ”

Just as Lei Jian jumped into the mining area within the high walls with a battalion of soldiers, suddenly the lights of the entire mining area were turned on, re-illuminating the mining area, and the searchlights of several turrets kept strafing back and forth.

When the lights in the mining area suddenly flashed, Lei Jian shouted alertly: "Lie down, hide in the shadows where the lights can't shine, wait for my order, and then attack." ”

The little devils on the turret took advantage of the electric lights set up at intervals, and under the illumination of the searchlights, they found that a battalion of soldiers led by Lei Jian rushed into the mining area from the wall, and the devils in the turrets on all sides searched for the figures of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and attacked with the most fierce firepower.

At this time, the soldiers of the first battalion who had not jumped into the mining area from the high wall were discovered by the devils patrolling the turret and the ground, and the searchlight was on the wall, and the soldiers who climbed to the wall became the target of the devils.

Lei Jian looked at the soldiers on the wall, and fell off the high wall one after another, and he shouted to Wang Xiaoliang, Qu Jiaming, and Song Tiedan, who had good marksmanship: "Aim at the searchlight of the devil's turret, and knock it out for me immediately." ”

'Bang, pop, ......', continuously aimed at the searchlight of the devil's turret, but not a single bullet hit, the cunning devil, suddenly shone the searchlight on a battalion of soldiers lying on the ground, the machine gun shooter of the turret, locked the target range, swinging the muzzle, kept strafing, some soldiers did not hide in time, were shot and died.

The furious Lei Jian took off the sniper rifle behind him, raised the gun to aim, and with a 'snap' shot, he extinguished the searchlight on the turret in the northwest corner, he knew that there were not many bullets in the blocking rifle on his body, so he threw the gun to Song Tiedan and said: "You want someone to be in the gun, protect my rifle well." ”

Wang Xiaoliang and several soldiers with a relatively high level of shooting kept catching the searchlights that swept over, firing them continuously, and finally extinguished the searchlights on the turret in the southwest corner. However, the searchlights on the northwest and southeast corners were never extinguished due to the difference in angles.

The most maddening is the central turret of the mining area, the turret of more than ten meters high is built on the half-slope, condescendingly overlooking the entire mining area, the top of the central turret is set up with searchlights in four directions, and the brightness of the searchlight of the central turret is several times that of the surrounding four turrets.

As long as the searchlight of the central turret is not knocked out, the entire Dongwangshe mining area is under its control, and there is any action on the ground, and it will not escape the fire blockade of the little devils in the central turret.

At this time, the soldiers of the second battalion, who had broken through the fire resistance of the new mine gate, under the leadership of Li Gang, were advancing in depth to the mining area in the dark, and suddenly the lights of the entire mining area were bright, especially the searchlights of the five artillery towers of the devils, which kept sweeping towards them.

The fighters of the second battalion were hit by sudden fire and lost the direction of the offensive for a while.

Li Gang saw that the soldiers were shot and fell, and he shouted: "Lie down quickly and carry out a fire counterattack." ”

The 3rd Battalion, as a reserve, followed closely behind the 2nd Battalion, and seeing that the advance was blocked, the 3rd Battalion Commander Huang Yong ordered the soldiers to hide in the dark shadows and see the opportunity to destroy the light bulbs and searchlights of the devils that could be captured.

The main battalion of the 'One Regiment' all entered the new mining area of Dongwangshe, and the firepower that could be suffered was also unprecedented. The main force of the entire army was suppressed on the ground by the powerful firepower of the devils, and it was simply impossible to advance in depth.

Lei Jian didn't expect that in his pre-war deployment, he felt that all aspects of the deployment were in place, and the only outstanding ones were the offensive targets, and there was no setting up how to guard against the enemy's lights and the possible lethality to the assault troops.

He ordered Qu Jiaming: "You take the reconnaissance platoon, and you must occupy the main distribution room of the enemy's mining area at all costs and act immediately." ”

Qu Jiaming asked without moving: "Captain Lei, what is the main distribution room?" What is the main distribution room used for? Besides, I don't know what it is, and it's hard to find a reconnaissance platoon. ”

"It's really 'an uneducated army is a stupid army.'" Lei Jian ordered Wang Xiaoliang: "Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, you lead the first battalion, and with the help of the cover of the shadowy place where the lights can't shine, the first, second, and third companies blast the southeast, northeast, and devil's center turrets respectively. ”

After Lei Jian gave the order, he raised his head and glanced around, and suddenly shouted to Qu Jiaming: "The reconnaissance platoon and the guard squad come with me." ”

A small army of forty or fifty people, under the leadership of Lei Jian, sometimes advanced and sometimes prostrate on the ground by means of the dim light, just like that, it was still locked by the searchlights of the devils, and the fierce fire blocked every step of their advance, and every step forward was to pay the price of blood.

Qu Jiaming climbed to Lei Jian's side and shouted: "Captain Lei, it's too dangerous to go any further, you tell me, how can I find the breeding ...... you said." ”

"Bastard, you think about it, it's called the main distribution room, Qu Jiaming, have you seen it? You follow my finger and see that a lot of wires lead to the two-story building in front of you? It was through these wires that the small building carried electricity to the turret, the light bulbs on the poles, and all the places where the lights were on, and if we destroyed the small building, the whole mining area would suddenly become dark, and then it would be time for us to exert our power. ”

"Captain Lei, what do you mean by this? Well, I understand, I'm going to take the reconnaissance platoon and blow up this small building with electricity. Qu Jiaming said and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Follow me." ”
