Chapter 698: Destroying the Main Position of the Japanese Army on the Mountaintop (2)
Lei Jian looked at the sloping hilltop turret, and ordered a battalion artillery squad to open fire, and must use the most fierce artillery fire to destroy this turret from the top of the mountain, eliminate the little devils in the turret, and avenge the sacrificed comrades.
The artillery squad adjusted the gun position, loaded and fired, and one shell after another whistled out of the gun chamber, and in the early morning white sky, watching the spectacular scene of dragging orange flames and flying towards the enemy turret, the soldiers shouted: "Blow up the devil's turret, avenge the sacrificed comrades." β
'Boom, boom, boom ......', continuous shelling, shells hit the enemy's turret, the strong devil turret, the mortar shells can't help at all, just shells, continuous bombardment, the bombardment turret shakes on the top of the mountain, and I don't know when it will bend at the waist.
In order to stand firmly, the devil in the turret threw away the gun in his hand, held on to the inner wall of the turret, and kept sliding on the ground of the turret.
The devils in the turret who lost their combat effectiveness, under the constant bombardment of the shells, the frightened ghosts cried wolves, and fundamentally lost their combat effectiveness, and the only thing they could do was to grab everything in the turret that could stabilize their bodies in the turret with the instability of the turret, in a large shaking.
Lei Jian saw the continuous artillery bombardment, but never destroyed the devil's turret, he rushed to the position of the artillery team, and asked angrily: "How did you shoot the artillery?" Why didn't the shells hit near the iron door holes in and out of the turrets, and the holes in the walls that were blasted by explosives? What a waste of shells. β
The captain of the artillery squad hurriedly reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, the artillery squad operates the artillery soldiers, has no actual experience in artillery bombardment, and it is not easy to hit the artillery shells on the turret. β
Lei Jian walked to a mortar, squatted down, stretched out his thumb, kept comparing with the barrel, and then loaded a shell, and with a 'boom', the shell flew out of the barrel, and under the attention of the soldiers, the shell accurately landed on the iron door hole of the turret.
The violent explosion destroyed the foundation of the base of the turret, and the turret was tilted from more than ten degrees to nearly thirty degrees at this time, but the solid devil turret was still not destroyed by the explosion of the shells.
Lei Jian adjusted the gun position again, and ordered the soldiers around him: "You take a look at the adjusted gun position of this mortar, and immediately readjust your gun positionββγ β
The artillery squad operated the gunners, quickly adjusted the gun position, and 'fired' under the order of Lei Jianββγ β
"Boom, boom, boom ......", several shells were discharged almost at the same time, with flames roaring towards the enemy artillery arms, continuous explosions, the devil turret was destroyed at the moment when the base, the upper half of the turret collapsed, bursting up the dust fog covering the sky, the dust flew quickly in all directions, the soldiers of the first battalion saw the turbid dust rushing towards them, and in the tail sound of Lei Jian's shouting "Lie down", they all fell to the ground, holding their heads with both hands, allowing the dust to be mixed with small gravel blocks, and the overwhelming hail hit the body.
After a few minutes, Lei Jian raised his head from the mud and stones, quickly stood up, and while slapping the dust on his body, he shouted: "The soldiers of the first battalion and the guard squad, get up and assemble immediately." β
The troops quickly assembled, and Lei Jian asked Zhang Ting: "Have the devil's hidden forts under the cliff close to the ground of the Zhengtai Railway been blasted?" β
"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, the bunkers on both sides of the railway have not yet been blasted, and the bunkers on the east side of the cliff are too small to protrude from the cliff, and it is very difficult to blast from top to bottom, and all the soldiers of a squad have been sacrificed." Zhang Ting's painful report.
Lei Jianzi led a battalion to storm the mountain top turret, ignoring the dark fort of the devils on the half-cliff of the blasting cliff, at this time I heard that not only was it not destroyed, but even a squad of soldiers in charge of the blasting died heroically.
"The half-cliff hidden fort on the west side of the railway, has it been destroyed?"
At this time, the commander of the first battalion and the second platoon of the first battalion who was responsible for observing and destroying the dark fort made a nervous report: "Report to the commander of the Lei regiment, a squad of the assault company went down to the half-cliff devil bunker from the cliff wall west of the railway, and was ready to blast it.
The little devil in the half-cliff bunker in the east found that there were several black shadows on the top of the bunker in the west, and there was no response to the question several times, so he immediately shot and shot, and as a result, the soldiers who went down to the bunker were shot and killed, and the soldiers who were hidden on the top of the cliff were quickly pulled up, and now none of the enemy bunkers at the half-cliff on both sides of the railway have been destroyed. β
As soon as Lei Jian heard that none of the half-cliff enemy bunkers on both sides of the railway had been destroyed, he scolded angrily: "Bastard, the half-cliff bunker can't be destroyed in time, the third battalion and the cavalry battalion and the assault company that blasted the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge can't pass smoothly from the fire blockade of the bunker, which will directly affect the elimination of the devil barracks at the southern end of the bridge, as well as the devil bridge guarding troops, and it will delay the assault company to blow up the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge. β
Zhang Ting saw that Lei Jian was so furious, and he ordered the first company commander: "You immediately organize a demolition commando, and within half an hour, you must destroy the devil's hidden fortress." β
Lei Jian looked at his watch and ordered decisively: "Battalion Commander Zhang, you arrange a company commander to destroy the two hidden bunkers of the enemy in Banya within fifteen minutes, this is a death order, and it must not be delayed." β
It's not that Lei Jian doesn't take the lives of the soldiers seriously, he knows very well in his heart that once the two hidden bunkers of the enemy in Banya cannot be destroyed in the shortest time, it will delay the third battalion, the cavalry battalion and the assault company, and quickly rush to the south end of the Fox Leaping Gorge Bridge, which will not only directly affect the task of blowing up the bridge, but also cause greater casualties to the troops due to the forcible breakthrough of the fire blockade of the devil's hidden fort, and it is particularly important to blow up the two bunkers set up by the devil in the half cliff.
Zhang Ting ordered the commander of the first company: "You immediately organize an assault team, and you must blow up these two bunkers within fifteen minutes with the tactics of multiple batches of continuous operations. β
The commander of the first company quickly organized four demolition teams, slid down the cliff wall in order to the enemy dark fort in the middle of the cliff, and destroyed it.
Zhang Ting ordered to contact a squad of the assault company on the cliff on the west side of the railway, and ordered to take the destruction of the bunker on the half cliff on the west side of the railway at the same time.
The west side of the railway served as the assault squad to destroy the bunker, and at this time there were only six fighters left, and at most two fighters could be blasted down with a rope at a time, but now that it was dawn, the fighters who did not need to go down approached the half-cliff bunker, and they would be blocked by the enemy fire in the bunker on the east side.
Now the only way to blast the west is to wait until the bunker in the east is destroyed.
Thunder Sword also recognized this, and he shouted to the warriors in the west: "You are ready to carry out the mission, once the bunker on the eastern cliff is destroyed, you must blast the enemy's bunker on the western half of the cliff at all costs." β
The commander of a company was lying on the front of the cliff, watching the first demolition team approach the enemy bunker in the middle of the cliff along the rope, and was discovered by the devils in the west bunker, raising the muzzle of the gun to carry out a firepower strike, and the first wave of the blasting team was shot by the devils in the opposite bunker before they approached the bunker.
Lei Jian was originally going to take the first battalion from the back of the turret on the top of the mountain to the outside of the devil's barracks below, and cooperate with the second battalion to carry out a fire attack on the devil's barracks, but he didn't expect that the two devil bunkers on the half-cliff would be so difficult to blast.
He said to Zhang Ting: "Isn't there a shooting hole on the lid of the little devil's dark castle?" Then find a way to send grenades or grenades through the shooting holes from above, and I don't believe that I can't blow up the devil's bunker. β
"Commander Lei, according to the soldiers who survived the explosion of the bunker, the shooting hole on the cover of the devil's bunker is not straight up and down, but diagonally aimed at the cliff wall, and grenades and grenades cannot be thrown into it at all, not to mention shooting small holes to throw grenades and grenades at a distance of more than ten meters from the bunker, the difficulty can be imagined, and it is not easy to throw them into the shooting holes on the cover of the devil's bunker." Zhang Ting said embarrassedly.
Lei Jian said unbelievingly: "Could it be that we can't suffocate to death by urine like this?" Prepare a long pole and I'll figure it out. β
He heard the fierce gunfire of the devil's barracks under the mountain, Lei Jian, the commander-in-chief who destroyed the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge, couldn't leave people here in order to blow up the two dark forts, he quickly explained a few words to the commander of the first company, and took the first battalion to slide from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and reinforced the second battalion to attack the barracks of the 372nd Wing of the devils.
