The company and platoon commanders who participated in the meeting above the platoon level nodded and replied solemnly: "Understood." ”

"Let's get moving." Lei Jian commanded decisively.

Wang Xiaoliang and the other company and platoon commanders dispersed, and asked puzzledly: "Battalion Commander Lei, what about my mission?" ”

"You fought to the death with the enemy puppet army on the high ground just now, and you have already made great achievements, so you don't have to bother to attack the turret and fight." Lei Jian looked at Wang Xiaoliang and smiled half-truthfully.

Wang Xiaoliang's body and energy had recovered at this time, and he shouted unconvinced by his neck: "That's not good, which battle is missing me Wang Xiaoliang?" Not to mention that I have led the troops to make a gap in the turret, which is ....... ”

Lei Jian stood up, patted Wang Xiaoliang on the shoulder and said: "Xiaoliang, I'll give you a new task, the three companies Zheng Tie and they will rush over immediately, you convey my order, put the three platoons in the east, south, and west directions, search and alert forward, once you find the enemy, don't fall in love with the battle, immediately return to Zuojiazhuang to report, this is also a very important task, you kid don't dare to take me lightly." ”

He saw that Wang Xiaoliang still wanted to argue, but Lei Jian glared at him and ordered: "Don't talk about the price, carry out the order." ”

Lei Jian took Xiao Zhou beside him and quickly ran towards the Devil's Gun Tower, he first came to the artillery position, checked the two mortars captured from the Devil's Quarry by himself, and checked the mortars that couldn't be kicked three times from the inside out, and found that the firing pin of the barrel base was deviated, and adjusted the gun position after trimming, and ordered loudly: "Aim at the west of the gap in the Devil's Gun Tower, and fire——。 ”

'Boom, boom, boom', three shells hit different positions of the turret, the turret was cut in half from the middle, and the 'boom' collapsed, and the devils on the upper floor of the turret were not killed by the explosion but also stoned to death by the collapsed turret masonry.

The turret was shrouded in a huge dust mist of collapsed turret, and the base of the lower half of the turret could no longer be seen.

Lei Jian shouted, "Rush into the turret and kill the devil——。 ”

The soldiers of the first company, armed with machine guns and rifles, suddenly jumped up and rushed bravely into the turret.

Zuojiazhuang turret is the central turret of the periphery, not circular, but hexagonal shape, with three floors high, each floor is spacious and bright, can live more than 20 little devils.

Machine gun firing ports were set on all six walls of the turret, and once the Eighth Route Army was found besieging the turret, it would shoot from six different directions.

Three rows of houses were built on the east, west, and north sides of the turret, and three devils lived in each row of houses, monitoring a platoon of puppet soldiers living together at all times.

Three houses guard the turret from three sides, and if it is found to be unfavorable to the turret, it will immediately block the attacking troops on the ground floor.

The main task is to frantically suppress the anti-Japanese forces and the people's anti-Japanese forces near the turret, block the passages, contain the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, and achieve the goal of dividing the villages, bridges and roads around the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, blocking the main supply routes of food, cloth and other important materials for the anti-Japanese armed forces, so as to achieve the sinister goal of isolating and eliminating the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the turret has been overturned one and a half floors above, and the little devils on the middle floor, that is, the second floor, some died when the turret was bombed, some were stunned, some were injured, and a few of them were big, okay, but they were frightened.

In the morning fog that slowly dissipated, these little devils who were still alive heard the shouts of killing from outside the turret, crawled out of the ruins, did not have time to shake off the floating dust on their bodies, quickly pulled the heavy machine guns out of the rubble, set them on the broken walls, pulled the trigger and swept towards the soldiers of the first company of the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

The enemy puppet troops in the two rows of bungalows on the east and west of the turret, fearing that they would be attacked by the Eighth Route Army engaged on the high ground, had already deployed on the positions built on the four sides of the turret.

The puppet army saw that the turret was bombed, and shrank in the hidden place of the position in fright, and saw the little devil who was not dead at the bottom of the turret, and the Eighth Route Army that carried out strafing and attacking with light and heavy machine guns.

Some of the attacking soldiers had already rushed through the trench and entered the turret trench, and were shot and fell by the sudden fire.

Lei Jian found that the firepower of the enemy puppet army in the turret was so fierce, and seeing the soldiers fall under the guns of the devils, he could no longer control his shouting: "Mortars, light and heavy machine guns, implement the maximum firepower, and you must kill all these mongrels for me." ”

He rushed to the artillery position, adjusted the three guns, and shouted: "Fire, fire——。 ”

Lei Jian picked up a cannonball and stuffed it into the barrel, and the three shells were fired almost at the same time, flying towards the devil's turret with orange flames, 'boom, boom, boom', the three shells exploded and collapsed the turret, and the devils inside didn't even have a chance to howl, so they were all wiped out.

The gunners adjusted the artillery positions, aimed at the east and west positions of the enemy puppet army, opened fire again, overturned the positions of the enemy puppet army, and most of the firepower of the enemy and puppet army in the turret trench was cleared, and several positions with weak firepower were attempted to counterattack to prevent the attack of the Eighth Route Army and counter it with the greatest firepower.

Thunder Sword rushed to the heavy machine gun, pushed the main shooter aside, lay down to control the heavy machine gun, and shouted, "Little devil, you all die." ”

The heavy machine gun spat out tongues of fire, and the bullets were like scattered beans, and swept towards the positions of the enemy puppet army within the trench, and the enemy puppet army suffered heavy casualties and greatly reduced firepower.

Under the operation of the soldiers, the seven light machine guns swing their muzzles, and as long as they find the positions of the enemy puppet army in the trench and still shoot alive to resist, they will be ruthlessly eliminated.

Lei Jian stood up, watching the soldiers outside the trench, exchanging fire with the remnants of the enemy puppet army, and never being able to jump into the trench and sweep away the remnants of the enemy, he snatched the rifle in the hand of the correspondent Xiao Zhou, aimed at the iron chain of the trench suspension bridge, and after several consecutive shots, the iron rope was finally broken, and the suspension bridge was like a mountain, falling on the ditch inside and outside the trench.

Li Gang held a machine gun and shouted loudly: "Kill it, kill this group of mongrels." ”

The soldiers of the first company of the independent battalion of the fifth detachment of the mountain column of the Eighth Route Army rushed across the suspension bridge, like a group of fierce tigers, and pounced on the enemy puppet army who continued to resist stubbornly in the position.

In less than ten minutes, the sound of guns inside and outside the turret stopped, and the whole land seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, and the soldiers of the first company suddenly raised their guns and fired them into the sky, shouting loudly: "We are victorious——。 ”

Lei Jian rushed across the drawbridge, watching the excited soldiers hugging each other, he walked to the sacrificed warrior with tears in his eyes, picked up a sacrificed soldier, walked out of the ruined devil turret position, walked out of the drawbridge step by step, walked to a flat ground, and carefully placed the sacrificed warrior on the ground.

The soldiers looked at Lei Jian, a half-grown child, and their battalion commander, who did not forget to fight to the death with their lives and blood when they were victorious, and the soldiers who died in a pool of blood at this time were the 'thunder generals' in their minds, taking the lead in carrying the sacrificed soldiers to a clean place, and the soldiers were excited and hugged the sacrificed soldiers together, as if they were accepting the task, neatly arranged.

Every time Lei Jian walked beside a sacrificed warrior, he half-knelt and carefully wiped the blood on the faces and bodies of the warriors, bandaging the wounds that were still bleeding.

He cried, his shoulders twitched with crying, tears streaming down his cheeks, and he silently ignored them, and continued to sort out the remains of the fallen soldiers in order.

Li Gang followed closely, several platoon commanders followed, and every soldier of the first company followed, half-kneeling forward, silently cleaning up the blood stains on the bodies of each of the sacrificed comrades.

More than 20 meters away from the Devil's Gun Tower, there were men, women and children from Zuojiazhuang Village, covering their mouths with their hands and sobbing with tears, they saw more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who died in the battle of attacking the Devil's Gun Tower, and the unspeakable grief in their hearts could only turn into tears and see off the sacrificed soldiers.

The village chief of Zuojiazhuang Village walked up to Lei Jian and asked in a low voice, "May I ask this little comrade, which one of your commanders here?" ”

"Uncle, I am, my name is Lei Jian, and I am the commander of the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army, what can you say?"

The village chief said with tears in his eyes: "Battalion Chief Lei, the villagers took down their kang mats and door panels, and brought quilts, let's bury these soldiers who killed devils first, they are qualified to be buried in the ancestral grave of the most famous family in our village, let the heroes be buried in the ground, let's start." ”.
