Chapter 672: The Earth Tank Strikes Again (2)
Lei Jian frowned, and carefully observed for a while, the strange fire blockade implemented by the devil's central turret, he looked at it for a while, and said to Zhang Ting: "Battalion Commander Zhang, relying on the assault death squad blasting alone, under the powerful firepower blockade of the devil, it will cause great casualties to the attacking troops. β
"Commander Lei, do you think there's a good way to blow up the devil's central turret?" Zhang Ting had never attacked such a large turret, and at this time he was blocked by devil fire, and the casualties of the troops were too great, and he really couldn't think of any better way than to rely on people to blast it.
Lei Jian waved his hand and ordered: "Battalion Commander Zhang, order the regimental artillery company to concentrate all its firepower to blast open the entrance and exit holes on the first floor of the devil's central turret, and under the cover of artillery fire, organize an earthen tank demolition team to blow up the devil's central artillery tower before dawn." β
The artillery company of the 'One Regiment', after receiving Lei Jian's order, immediately moved the artillery position forward, prepared for artillery bombardment, and waited for Lei Jian's order.
Lei Jian's artillery company commander instructed: "The artillery tower of the new mine center of the devil's East Wangshe, I have visually measured it, the height is at least about seventeen meters, and according to the size of the devil and the firepower of the defense, there should be seven or eight floors up and down, and the devils on each floor will not be less than five or six people, and the weapons and ammunition are sufficient."
With such a high turret, the outer wall of the turret will be very thick, and it will also be very strong, with mortar shells alone, it is impossible to blast the devil's turret, you order the artillery company, aim at the entrance and exit of the first floor of the devil's central turret, do not consider the consumption of shells, with the most fierce artillery fire, blast open the door of the devil's turret, and use the gunpowder smoke and dust from the artillery explosion to cover the soil tank demolition team to approach the turret, blow up the turret from the bottom, and the troops will kill it and eliminate all the devils in the turret. β
The commander of the artillery company commanded the artillery to adjust the gun position again, and Lei Jian saw that the earth tank demolition team was ready for an assault, he raised his right hand and slashed down fiercely and shouted: "Open the artillery, fire the gun for me." β
......Under the command of the company commander, the gunners of the artillery company aimed at the entrance and exit of the Devil's Central Artillery Tower, and fired successive shots, each with five guns, and the earth tank demolition team braved the dense bullets of the Devil's Artillery Tower, and rushed to the Devil's Gun Tower desperately under the light of the dazzling shuttle of artillery fire and bullets from both sides under the light of the artillery fire and bullets of the enemy and us.
According to the deputy squadron leader of the devil guarding the central turret, when he saw the Eighth Route Army bombarding the turret with the most fierce artillery fire, he pouted and sarcastically said: "The stupid Tubalu, the mortar shelling of my central turret, undoubtedly tickles, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, don't be nervous, with the greatest firepower, eliminate a lump of black shadows rushing up." β
The commander of a battalion, a company, and a squad led a territorial tank demolition team, under the cover of artillery fire and with the help of the cover of night, dispersed and quickly approached the enemy's central artillery tower.
Lei Jian's eyes widened, and with the help of the gunpowder smoke and flames that exploded in the air from the explosion of artillery fire, he always paid attention to the speed of the earthen tank commandos rushing towards the enemy's turret, the speed of advancing and the distance of the shells.
He saw that the earth tank demolition team was approaching the enemy's central turret, and decisively ordered: "The artillery company moves the gun position five times, shifts the projectile impact point and continues to fire." β
The artillery company commander quickly issued an order, and these gunners, who had just been organized for a short time, quickly adjusted their gun positions under the guidance of the platoon and squad leaders, and immediately opened fire on the devil's central artillery tower again.
The squad leader who served as the leader of the earth tank demolition team led the three-person earth tank to approach the entrance and exit gate of the devil's central turret.
When the squad leader saw the entrance and exit of the central turret destroyed by artillery fire, he only blasted the gate open, and under the reflection of the artillery fire, he saw craters bursting out of the walls of the turret, but he did not shake the foundation of the turret.
At this time, two more earthen tank teams followed, and the leader of the first squad shouted: "Immediately approach the turret, hide in the blind corner of the fire of the devil's turret, along the turret to the left and right of the blast gate, and place the explosive bag in the place where there is a shell crater at the base of the turret, and the speed should be fast." β
A squad of five earth tank demolition teams safely broke through the devil's fire blockade, and only three arrived in front of the turret, and the first squad leader arranged the explosives bag, connected the fuses together, lit the fire and shouted: "Quickly run away from the devil's central turret, find a hidden place and lie down." β
The three earthen tank groups were like three black monsters, in the rain of bullets and bullets in the night, they withdrew from the turret as fast as they could, and when they ran out for more than twenty steps, they heard a continuous explosion behind them.
The squad leader shouted nervously: "Get down quickly, pay attention to the direction of the collapsed turret, be ready to dodge at any time, and don't smash yourself into the ground." β
As soon as the three earthen tanks left the turret, Lei Jian ordered the commander of the first battalion: "Once the explosion sounded in the turret, you should lead the first battalion to rush up at all costs, follow the internal stairs of the turret, and eliminate all the little devils inside." β
Zhang Ting asked incomprehensibly: "Commander Lei, didn't our earth tank demolition team go up to three?" As long as they place the explosives packs, I don't believe that the power of a few explosives packs will not blow up the devil's turret? β
"Don't talk nonsense, carry out the order." Lei Jian was not a subjective assumption, but he had seen the information of blasting the central turret of the East Wangshe before crossing, because the turret was strong, and the troops could not grasp the essentials of many attacks, but they never blew up the turret, but suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, at the cost of their lives, some troops rushed to the first floor of the turret, blew up the gate and fought bravely into the turret, fighting to the death of the enemy, and only then did they destroy the central turret of the devil.
After Lei Jian gave an order to Zhang Ting, he ordered the artillery company commander: "Once the artillery tower sounds and explodes, you order the artillery fire to cover the troops to attack the artillery tower, and distribute the shell impact points, and use the maximum gunpowder smoke to cover the sight of the devils in the artillery tower, slow down the devils to attack the battalion, and carry out targeted fire strikes." β
'Boom, boom, boom, ......boom', there was a bang from the artillery tower in the center of the devil, and Zhang Ting waved his pistol and shouted: "Soldiers of the first battalion, rushββγ β
When the artillery company commander saw a huge explosion coming from the central turret, he ordered fiercely and loudly: "Cover the artillery fire, lock on to the target according to different types, and open fireββγ β
Under the cover of artillery fire, the first battalion braved the enemy's dense bullets and bravely rushed to the central turret.
The little devils in the turret, with the help of the narrow gun holes, kept swinging their guns and strafed the attacking battalion with the most fierce firepower.
The attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army had no way to eliminate the devils inside through the guns of the turrets, which caused unbreakable comfort to the devils, and they clamored one by one to increase their firepower and attack the attacking battalion of the 'One Regiment'.
The deputy squadron leader of the devil found that from all sides of the turret, shouting and killing the shadows rushing over, was rapidly approaching the turret, and he arrogantly ordered the devils on all floors of the turret: "The earth eight roads are vainly trying to storm the central artillery tower of our Japanese imperial army, and order the warriors of the imperial army on all floors to destroy the attacking earth eight roads with the greatest firepower." β
He ordered the devils on the first floor: "Immediately block the entrance and exit gate that has been blasted, set up heavy machine guns, block the fire, and be sure to wipe out all the eight roads outside the turret." β
Lei Jian found the gate of the devil's central turret, and suddenly burst out of fierce heavy machine gun fire, and the attacking battalion was blocked by fire, with heavy casualties, and he angrily ordered the artillery company commander: "Open the artillery, quickly fire at the gate of the devil's central turret, and blast the stubborn layer of devils to me with artillery fire." β
'Boom, boom, boom ......', the fighters who had already mastered the cannon exploded five times in a row, and three shells exploded in the gate hole of the artillery tower in the center of the devil, destroying the heavy machine gun position of the devil on the first floor of the artillery tower.
The soldiers of the first battalion found that the machine gun position at the gate on the first floor of the artillery tower in the center of the devil was suddenly destroyed by artillery fire, and the soldiers were like tigers and leopards scurrying up, leaping towards the gate of the devil's turret.
The deputy squadron leader of the devil, who commanded on the fifth floor, heard a continuous explosion on the first floor, and the smoke and flames rushed up to the upper floors of the turret, choking the little devil who bent over and coughed, and the firepower weakened significantly, and he shouted: "Increase the firepower for me and block the entrance and exit of the first floor."
The soldiers of the first battalion rushed forward bravely, taking advantage of the rare opportunity of the weakening of the firepower of the devils in the turret, and rushed to the bottom of the turret, and the soldiers in front rushed directly into the first floor of the turret with their guns.
Company Commander Cong, who rushed in, rushed up to the second floor of the artillery tower with a machine gun, and was suddenly blocked by the fire of the devils on the second floor.
He desperately got up from the ground, picked up the machine gun 'Tutu, Tutu......, Tutu', and fired violently, and the little devil hiding at the top of the stairs was hit by a bullet and fell from the second floor.
The company commander Cong took the lead and rushed up the stairs, the machine gun in his arms spewed tongues of fire, and finally climbed the staircase of the second floor, he swung the machine gun, swept the second floor flat, did not hear the gunfire of resistance, he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Rush up, kill this group of ......." β
