Thank you book friend 25**** and give a valuable monthly pass, the nine-tailed cat is really sorry, this week is too busy, I can't give you more, next Tuesday to add more thanks, forgive me. Please support your monthly pass.
Qi Benfeng immediately ordered the soldiers to tie up the explosives package, and organized a demolition team composed of ten people, ordering all light and heavy weapons to put fire on the turret on the southwest corner of the devil's stronghold, covering the demolition team to carry out the blasting of the devil's turret.
The first group was under the cover of fierce fire, and the three demomen jumped to avoid the fire of the devils in the dense bullets of the enemy's south and north directions, sometimes crawling forward, sometimes lying still, and sometimes jumping up and rushing forward a few steps, seeing that there were still more than 20 meters away from the gun tower south of the devil's stronghold, just when the three soldiers suddenly got up from the ground, and before they could jump a step, they were hit by the machine-gun bullets swept by the enemy and fell in a pool of blood.
The leader of the eighth platoon shouted, "The second group rushes up." ”
As soon as the three fighters of the second group jumped out of the position, they were suppressed by the devils who had already prepared and retreated to the position with extremely fierce firepower.
Political Commissar Luo saw that the enemy's firepower was fierce, and the oppressive demolition team couldn't raise his head at all, and he shouted angrily: "Give me the second group." "The second group of Demomen, under the cover of fire, rushed out, but within a few steps of advancement, fell not far from the front of the position.
The eighth platoon commander saw that the first two groups of demomen had fallen heroically at the front of the position, he picked up the explosives bag and shouted to the two fighters beside him: "Follow me." ”
Under the leadership of the eight platoon commanders, the three demomen bravely rushed out of the position, under the cover of the strong firepower behind them, the three demomen risked their lives, and finally rushed to about ten meters away from the devil's south turret.
The eighth platoon commander said to the two soldiers beside him: "The enemy's firepower is too fierce, the three of us are attacking at the same time, the target is too big, let's carry out a single breakthrough, lure and contain the enemy's firepower, and launch a continuous advance, we will definitely succeed in blasting the enemy's turret." ”
Without waiting for the eighth platoon commander to finish speaking, a demoman saw the enemy's fire change direction, took the opportunity to rush out with the explosives bag, rushed out less than three steps, and fell to the ground with a bang, falling heroically in a pool of blood.
Another Demoman jumped to his feet with a scream, and as he approached the enemy turret, a bullet struck the soldier, and the soldier pulled the explosive bag as he fell, and with the last of his strength, threw the explosive bag out.
There was a strong explosion of 'boom', and the explosive bag exploded under the running building, and before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the eighth platoon commander was like a jumping mountain leopard, rushing towards the enemy turret.
There was another explosion, and the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and the eighth platoon commander and the soldier fell under the turret of the enemy stronghold, and they had already died heroically. The two explosive packs exploded, but did not destroy the turret built by the devil on the south wall, but only blew up two large craters under the turret.
Qi Benfeng, the commander of the third battalion, looked at the nine demomen, risked his life, and did not blow up the devil's turret, he slapped his head fiercely and roared: "Bastard, I injured my nine good brothers, but the devil's turret was still not destroyed." ”
He ordered the two fighters beside him: "Follow me, rush to the Demoman who died halfway, pick up the explosive bag, and make sure to blow up the devil's turret." ”
Qi Benfeng was about to jump out of the position, but was dragged to the ground by Luo Jinchuan fiercely, and scolded fiercely: "Qi Benfeng, you bastard, you are simply a madman, if you can't blow up the enemy turret, once it is strong, what can the third battalion do?" ”
"Political Commissar Luo, as long as I don't destroy the enemy's turret, my third battalion will not be able to break through the stronghold of the devils, and if I can't complete the task, it will delay the entire battle of breaking the Deshi Road, what do you say?"
Luo Jinchuan knew in his heart that he led the three battalions to attack the stronghold of the Devil's Fengzhuang Railway Station, and the attack was always ineffective, and he had launched more than a dozen strong attacks, all of which were blocked by the enemy's powerful firepower outside the stronghold, and the casualties of the troops were getting bigger and bigger.
He said to Qi Benfeng: "Battalion Commander Qi, just by blindly fighting hard, we will be more passive, and the casualties of the troops will be greater, we must come up with the most appropriate way to reduce casualties and take the devil's turret in one fell swoop." Order the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to stop the attack, save bullets, and wait until they come up with a way to launch a devastating blow to the enemy. ”
The position of the three battalions is confronting the enemy with maximum firepower, but this kind of combat power and ammunition consumption is simply a little devil who can't hide in the turret, just wasting bullets and doing nothing to fight in a blind position.
Luo Jinchuan convened cadres above the company level and convened an emergency military meeting on the battlefield to mobilize everyone to think of ways and ideas on how to destroy the artillery towers of the devil's stronghold.
After a period of debate and discussion, the only way to destroy the enemy's turret was to continue to blast explosives in the face of the enemy's fierce firepower.
Luo Jinchuan shook his head and said: "This plan is not the only way, you have all seen it, a demolition squad of three groups of fighters, divided into three groups to carry out blasting of the devil's turret, the two groups did not lean to the devil's turret at all, they were shot and died in the middle of the impact, the blasting team led by the eighth platoon commander, risked death to approach the enemy's turret, the explosive package was detonated in front of the enemy's turret, but the enemy's turret was not destroyed, if we continue to carry out this kind of blasting to destroy the enemy's turret, think about it, can it have a good effect?" ”
Qi Benfeng said firmly: "Political Commissar Luo, we are now facing a strong enemy, although the lives of the soldiers are important, it is related to the success or failure of the entire campaign to break the Deshi Road, we must take the battle of the devil's stronghold, even if we make a big sacrifice, we must destroy the enemy's stronghold in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will affect the course of the entire campaign." ”
The other company commanders supported the opinion of the battalion commander Qi, and Luo Jinchuan roared angrily: "Bastards, you are all commanders, you must not risk the lives of the soldiers again without coming up with an attack plan that you have a certain degree of confidence and destroy the enemy's artillery tower at the minimum cost, do you understand?" ”
At the temporary emergency military meeting on the battlefield, because of the disagreement and who could not come up with a good way to destroy the enemy's artillery tower, the stalemate was at this time, and everyone was silent, but the breath of bird breath in their hearts was really unbearable.
The captain of the dog breeding squad who stuck to the devil's stronghold stood in the running building on the south wall of the stronghold, looking at the position of the Eighth Route Army very quietly, as if the troops of the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn from the position, and the battlefield could only be seen on the battlefield, and the gunfire could no longer be heard, let alone the signs of the Eighth Route Army continuing to launch the next offensive.
He pouted and boasted arrogantly: "The earthen guns and earth cannons of the Tuba Road can't help the fire of the turrets on all sides of my stronghold, as long as we don't leave the stronghold, it will be difficult for the Tuba Road to break through my firepower defense line, hahaha." ”
The devil Cao Chang said flatteringly: "Captain of the dog squad, under the fire of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, Tubalu suffered heavy casualties and could not move an inch, and your command and combat ability is very high, it is really high." ”
"Yuxi, I have already reported to the captain of the garrison on the Dezhou side, there is a small team of mine in the stronghold of Fengzhuang Railway Station, which can completely block the attack of the Eighth Road, hahaha, His Excellency the Wing Captain has promised to commend my team and all the brave warriors of the Imperial Army, hahaha, I am very happy."
The captain of the dog breeding squad ordered: "I don't know whether the Tuba Road retreated or was wiped out by the fire of our imperial army, at this time there was no gunfire in the Tuba Road position, order the battle turrets, stop shooting, closely monitor the movement of the Tuba Road, once it is found that the Tuba Road is attacking, it is necessary to wipe out all the Tuba Road with the greatest firepower." ”
The enemy and us have temporarily ceased fighting, the smoke and flames of gunpowder on the positions are still burning, and a new round of major war is brewing in the dead and silent positions.
Until the afternoon, the positions of the enemy and us remained silent, and sometimes the arrogant little devils fired a few shots, breaking the terrible silence of the position, and so the two sides were deadlocked at the front of the position. The enemy stronghold hidden in the woods, from the chimneys of one of the rows of houses enclosed by the courtyard wall, the smoke was rising, and the little devil began to cook.
In the position of the third battalion of the independent regiment of the fifth detachment of the Eighth Route Army, Luo Jinchuan and Qi Benfeng were lying on the position, looking at the four turrets on the head of the devil's wall, and the more they looked at it, the more angry they became.
Qi Benfeng couldn't hold back and shouted: "Political Commissar Luo, we can't just surround the enemy's stronghold and not attack, right?" If Regiment Commander Lei and his superiors are held accountable, what do you say we have to say? It can't be said that the devil's firepower is too fierce, and my third battalion has been beaten by the devil and has no choice, so it has been stalemate, right? ”
Luo Jinchuan's heart was like a knife cutting, he clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground, his hand joints touched the stone, the flesh of his fist was shattered, and the blood was flowing out, he ordered unconsciously: "Reorganize the demolition team, cover with the greatest firepower, each group of demolition team members do a good job of upper body protection, and must destroy the turret of the devil's stronghold in this operation." ”
A new round of demolition teams was formed, and Luo Jinchuan ordered: "Send the first team to carry out the blasting immediately, concentrate the light and heavy firepower of the whole battalion, suppress the enemy's crazy resistance, and cover the rapid action of the demolition team." ”
