The solemnity and grievance on Commander Wang's face disappeared at this moment, and he showed a heartfelt smile.

Seeing that one artillery piece after another was pushed to the gun position, the members of the direct team were more professional than the artillerymen, manipulating the artillery and aiming at the stronghold at the cliff mouth, the smile on Commander Wang's face became even stronger.

Not surprisingly, at least half of these mountain artillery pieces will remain in the Suide Military District. At that time, the artillery company directly under the military region can be expanded into an artillery battalion, and it will still be a fully equipped artillery battalion.

As for the battle in front of him, with Wang Ping here, Commander Wang basically doesn't need to worry about anything.

In the Yakou stronghold, the Japanese army was also very uncomfortable.

Although the Eighth Route Army's two desperate attacks were repulsed by themselves, they also suffered heavy losses.

A reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army, at the moment only half of the troops remained.

Because of the poor individual combat ability of the puppet army, the losses were even greater, and the entire battalion was only one company left.

If it weren't for the fact that he had personally cut down two puppet army officers just now, the remaining more than a hundred puppet soldiers would have bombed the camp out of fear.

Seeing that the squadron leader had a calm face and did not speak, the deputy captain next to him comforted him in time.

"Sir, there are only less than three hours left before dawn, and the losses of the Eighth Route Army just now are very large, at least half a regiment has been killed or wounded. Even if they will continue to attack next, the offensive will not be as fierce as just now! ”

In the vast night, the devil didn't know that outside the stronghold, the Eighth Route Army had prepared sixteen mountain cannons to deal with him.

Therefore, after listening to the vice captain's comfort, his face looked a lot better.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he ordered: "The troops are on alert, and all reserves are entering the position, but be prepared to guard against the artillery attack of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

The deputy captain replied confidently: "Captain, don't worry, there are still two turrets and several permanent fire points in the stronghold that have not been destroyed, and only mortars were used in the Eighth Route just now, not the previous infantry guns, so they must have run out of ammunition." And mortar shells simply can't help our turrets and permanent fire points, and there is no need to worry about their shelling! ”

"Just in case~" the squadron leader confessed uneasily.

Then he raised his binoculars and looked out of the stronghold.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Suddenly, a series of very piercing screams reached the ears of the squadron leader.

The mood that was still relaxed suddenly tensed, first stunned, and then lost his voice.

"Bageya Road, it is mountain artillery ~ The Eighth Route Army also has mountain artillery shells...... Boom Boom Boom~"

Before the screams were finished, a violent explosion sounded in his ears.

Because the firing distance was too close, the direct team directly gave up the test firing, and when it came up, 16 mountain artillery guns were fired together.

"Boom ......"

When the second round of explosions reached the ears of the squadron leader, a dull collapse sound came.

The squadron leader's face changed, and he immediately realized that one of the artillery towers in the stronghold had been blown up!

"Boom ......"

Not long after, the last turret was also reduced to a pile of ruins in the explosion!

It was only then that the deputy captain, who had just gone to give the order, rushed over under artillery fire with a panicked face.

"It's over...... Captain, the heavy machine gun squad is finished~" The squadron leader adjutant shouted with a look of despair.

"The four heavy machine guns were all on the turret, and there were five or six light machine guns, and more than thirty imperial troops, ready to condescendingly strafe the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army still hid so much artillery, and the artillery tower was blown up in just a few rounds of shelling, and only eight imperial troops rushed out and a light machine gun was brought out! ”

Light and heavy machine guns are a weapon of defense, and the squadron leader knows better than anyone.

With a frown, he asked, "How many light and heavy machine guns do we have left to use~"

"There is not one heavy machine gun left~ There are seven light machine guns left, all of which are in positions and fixed fire points around the stronghold~ However, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, and I dare not guarantee how much will be left after this shelling is over!"

"Then wait!" The squadron leader gritted his teeth and replied, with a calm face, no one knew what he was thinking at this moment!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The shelling continued, and the small position of the cliff pass was completely covered by thick black smoke at this moment.

However, the fireballs that kept rising in the air on the position were still like torches, constantly illuminating the surroundings, allowing Commander Wang and Wang Ping to see the situation on the battlefield clearly.

"Another fixed fire point was destroyed, and the two devils were directly blown into the sky!" The second regiment commander, who was also holding a telescope, shouted excitedly.

"The shelling is almost over, and if it continues to fight, it will be a waste of shells!" Wang Ping said.

Then he stared at Commander Wang and asked, "Chief, I suggest that the artillery stop after another five minutes...... Then the infantry attacked and took the stronghold of the cliff pass in one fell swoop! ”

"I'm on!" The second regiment commander, who was worried about continuing to go to the battlefield just now, directly asked for battle this time.

It was a lavish blow of artillery fire that restored his confidence.

Seeing that Commander Wang didn't speak, he immediately added: "The Japanese puppet army in the stronghold killed more than 400 people in my second regiment, this revenge must be avenged by our second regiment, I will personally cut off the head of the devil commander, and the soldiers who died in the second regiment will take revenge!" ”

"Then the second regiment is on!" Commander Wang ordered decisively.

Then staring at the regiment and battalion behind him, the battalion commander ordered.

"You are on standby...... As soon as the second regiment enters the stronghold, you will rush forward immediately. Use the absolute superiority of troops, take out the Japanese puppet army that is still alive, quickly end the battle, and take the stronghold! ”

The attack went smoothly, with 16 artillery pieces firing nearly 400 shells at the Zhangyakou stronghold in less than ten minutes.

In addition to the turrets and several fixed firing points that were completely destroyed, the entire defensive line around the stronghold was blown to shreds, especially the bunkers piled up with sandbags, all of which were razed to the ground.

After the attack of the second regiment began, the Japanese puppet army that was still alive did not even have a position to hide, so they could only lie on the ground and counterattack.

"Snipers, firefighters, cover the attack of the second regiment!" Wang Ping seized the opportunity and ordered.

Soon, the remaining Japanese puppet troops in the stronghold realized what it meant to be passively beaten.

As soon as a bullet was fired outside the stronghold, a string of bullets flew directly outside the stronghold.

As long as the dodge movement is a little slower, it will be beaten into a sieve in an instant!

There are still three light machine guns left, and two devil corpses have fallen from each.

It's all a bullet that kills you.

Three light machine guns were crooked on the position, close at hand, but no devil had the courage to approach them.

"Commander, the stronghold has been taken, all the little devils have been killed, and the puppet army has captured more than forty people!" In less than ten minutes, the commander of the second regiment, who had personally gone to the battlefield, rushed back and reported with an excited face.

"It's finally taken down~" Commander Wang replied with a sigh of relief.

"The second regiment cleans up the battlefield and treats the wounded ~ one regiment and one battalion, and responds to the transport team that will come over in a while...... We must ensure that every grain is safely returned to our base! ”
