Chapter 34: Cover
"Interesting, what is Li Yunlong trying to do this dog day?"
Knocking on the table, Ding Wei looked at the news handed over by Li Yunlong in his hand, and subconsciously touched his chin.
Beside him, a battalion commander Cheng He stood quietly.
"Let me attract the main force of the devils in Shou County to the north, that is to say, Li Yunlong wants to lead the troops through Shou County from the south, and the scale will not be small, at least more than 300 people..."
It's easy to speculate.
Attracting devils from a county town is nothing more than diverting the tiger from the mountain and diverting attention.
Diverting the tiger from the mountain is to fight the county seat, but Li Yunlong's strength is obviously unrealistic, there is no ten times the strength, or the caliber of heavy artillery, the county town can't even think about it, although he Li Yunlong has the courage to go to the sky, but he will not dare to fight the county seat...
Then it must be transferred from the mountain through the defense area of Shou County...
The defense of the devils in Shou County is not tight, and the number one hundred and ten people pass casually, and there is no need to mobilize the attention of the devils, so it is speculated that there must be more than three hundred people...
"He has a battalion of troops and wants to pass through Shou County..."
Thinking of this, Ding Wei looked at Chenghe on the side: "Has anything happened to the east of Youshou County recently?" ”
"East of Shou County"
Chenghe's expression remained unchanged: "To the east of Shou County are Meng County and Yangquan, there is no situation in Meng County, but the devils in Yangquan seem to be under martial law recently, blocking the road and prohibiting traffic, but the specific situation is not clear"
There was no radio, no telephone, the flow of information was all lip service, and the new regiment obviously did not know much information.
"Yangquan devils are under martial law and block the road, what happened over there, so Li Yunlong wants to join in the fun..."
Ding Wei touched his chin and muttered to himself: "Moreover, this fun can make a lot of money, and it is a big profit."
Who is Li Yunlong, Ding Wei knows too well...
If this guy can take the risk of being punished and take a battalion to join in the fun, then it must be big business...
What the hell is going on?
After thinking for a while, Ding Wei, who had no clue, rolled his eyes and looked at Chenghe: "You said, the price of two 60 mortars, 1,000 rounds of 60 mortar shells, mobilize a brigade of devils in Shou County to come out and hang around, and reimburse 5,000 rounds of ammunition at the time, should this business be done?" ”
"I'll do it" and his tone was calm.
"Haha·····"
Ding Wei grinned: "Go, gather the first battalion, and in addition, bring the artillery company, this time I will lead the team myself······"
"You get on your horse..."
Ding Wei looked at Cheng He and squinted his eyes: "Go to the brigade headquarters or the headquarters to see, they are much more well-informed there, and they should know more than we know."
"Yes" Chenghe saluted and went down to assemble the team.
An hour later, the new regiment and one battalion were assembled, along with the new commander of the artillery company, Wang Chengzhu.
"Commander, what are we going to do?" Wang Chengzhu ran to Ding Wei's side and asked.
Wang Chengzhu, as an old man brought out by Li Yunlong before, originally wanted to return to Li Yunlong's hands, but after staying in the new regiment for a period of time, he was a little reluctant to charge the artillery company, and the new regiment commander was also good, his temper was very right, and he was also very good to him, so he stayed.
It's all anti-Japanese everywhere, anyway, it's all a unit·····
"Go help your old leader," Ding Wei responded with a smile.
"Help Captain Li?" Wang Chengzhu was stunned.
"Help your old leader, my old friend big cover"
"Do a good job this time, and wait for the shells to hit accurately"
patted Wang Chengzhu on the shoulder, Ding Wei said seriously: "If we do a good job, our regiment will be able to earn an extra thousand shells..."
This is a good gunner...
Ding Wei was very satisfied with this gunner he left behind, and it was not in vain that he and Li Yunlong had been grinding their tongues for so long.
"Yes"
Wang Chengzhu saluted excitedly.
······
To the north of Shou County, eleven miles away from the center of the county, there is a devil's turret here.
The three-storey building is made of thick bluestone bricks, with searchlights on the top floor, several machine-gun openings on the second and third floors, and trenches two meters deep and more than three meters wide dug around it, connected by a suspension bridge.
Half a squad of devils and a dozen puppet soldiers are stationed here, responsible for monitoring nearby villages and roads, as well as alerting guerrilla attacks.
And today, the captain of the devil squad stationed here hid behind the shooting observation hole, sneered at the Eighth Route Army assembled in the distance, and the corners of his mouth hooked up mockery: "This group of dirt Eighth Route Army wants to come to death again?" ”
It's not once or twice that his turret has been attacked, and that time wasn't he beaten with a bloody head and a gray retreat?
How about a lot of people? If you don't have heavy weapons, what can you do?
And not yet heavy losses under the fire of his five machine guns.
Even if you risk your life and rush to the bottom of the turret, facing a three-meter-wide trench and a five-meter-high turret, there is no way but to leave the corpses in one place to retreat.
"All ready, when this group of guerrillas enters 300 meters, they will shoot and hunt freely..." The little devil squad leader ordered.
The turrets are equipped with old crooked handles, and the accuracy is best at about 300 meters, and the accuracy will be reduced a lot after exceeding. What made the captain of the devil squad feel a pity was that the attacking Eighth Route Army stopped at a distance of 400 meters and began to dig cover, so that he had no chance to shoot.
"Want to besiege?"
Seeing this situation, the little devil still didn't panic, and even continued to sneer.
He had seven days of food and water reserves in his turret, and he would be afraid of a siege?
Moreover, as long as he made a phone call or fired a flare gun, the brigade in the city could come to support, and these hundreds of guerrillas had to retreat obediently unless they wanted to be completely annihilated.
"Hmph, labor and management are here to play with you today..."
Looking at the devil turret four hundred meters away, especially Ding Wei also sneered: "Are you ready?" ”
"Ready"
"Ready"
Answered several times at the same time.
Beside Ding Wei, Wang Chengzhu fiddled with one of his 60 mortars, as well as fifteen neatly arranged on the newly dug bunker, and the muzzles of the guns were collectively aimed at the devil's turret.
"Four hundred meters, this is not enough to get the devil's crooked handle, but our new Czech style has not decreased much"
Ding Wei pointed to the devil's turret in the distance and said:
"Aim at their shooting holes, just use them as live-fire training, give me a hard shot, don't save bullets, Wang Chengzhu, I'll give you thirty shells, blow up their searchlights for me, and a company of people will touch through the wings, completely surround the turret, and then cut their telephone lines."
"The second battalion is preparing for geotechnical excavation, even if it is acting, it must be vigorous..."
"Yes..."
Da Da Da ·
The machine gun was the first to fire, the light was abundant during the day, and the shooting hole of the devil was clearly visible from the distance of four hundred meters, and with a fierce burst of short point shooting, a series of bullets hit the shooting hole of the turret, and a piece of debris jumped up, and the devil behind the frightened shooting port hurriedly hidden.
"Top, second hole"
Hidden behind the bunker, Ding Wei held the binoculars and excitedly instructed the machine gunners to shoot the shooting holes with devils, and had a lot of fun.
The Czech accuracy of the system is extraordinary, at a distance of 400 meters, a good machine gunner can spread no more than three meters of bullets, and with continuous shooting, there are always bullets that can hit a shot hole the size of a person's chest, and even occasionally hit the devil inside.
"Yaga, shoot, shoot..."
Seeing a Heavy shot in the shoulder, the Devil Squad Leader shouted and fired back.
But before a devil could fire a few shots from his machine gun, the fireworks from the muzzle of the gun suddenly attracted more than a dozen Czech-style suppressions, hundreds of bullets came over, and the unlucky machine gunner was shot in the forehead and died on the spot.
Boom ····· At this moment, Wang Chengzhu opened fire.
At just four hundred meters, he naturally hit the first shot, and a 1.5 mortar shell weighing 60 kg exploded on the roof of the turret.
The mortar with low initial velocity, low strength and low penetration cannot cause structural damage to the devil's turret, but the 60 mortar shell charge from the system is 300 grams of high-explosive black Suokin, and the power is comparable to the 82 mortar of the Republic of China.
"Lieutenant, the searchlight on the top floor is damaged..."
"Lieutenant, our telephone line has been cut short..."
'Lieutenant, the enemy is starting to dig at us on the left side...'
The explosion on the top floor continued, Wang Chengzhu hit the top floor accurately one after another, and occasionally missed the explosion on the outer wall of the turret, and the devil turret that fifteen sophisticated Czech machine guns suppressed under the command of Ding Wei was almost impossible to counterattack.
"Quick, fire a flare and call for help from Kuroshima Nakasa..."
In the face of bad news, especially when several machine gunners in the turret were injured or even killed, the leader of the devil squad finally panicked and hurriedly asked the Shou County Devil Brigade for help.
"Haha, this feeling of bullying people with superior firepower is cool..."
Looking at the devils hiding in the turret and not daring to show it, Ding Wei felt refreshed.
Attacking the devil's turret, he killed one devil and wounded two or three devils, but he didn't suffer any casualties, he had never fought such a good battle.
But that's all it takes.
After fighting for half an hour, he consumed more than 3,000 bullets to achieve such a small result, and only a thousand rounds of devils injured one devil, according to the previous calculations, it was definitely a bloody business.
If you really attack the turret, the casualties will definitely be large.
These results are entirely due to the advantage of this weapon and the carelessness of the devil.
If the devil really hid in the turret and waited for the attacking troops to get close before shooting, then he would definitely not be able to suppress the devil's machine gun in the turret from a machine gun position of 400 meters.
"Report, the devils of Shou County have been dispatched, about four hundred people, are coming along the road, and the striker is expected to arrive here in an hour," a cavalry signal soldier reported.
"Haha, the devil is out"
"Our mission accomplished"
Ding Wei smiled with a smile on his face: "Wang Chengzhu, continue the shelling, slow down, continue to suppress the machine guns, notify the various troops, continue to put up a position, but immediately retreat to the mountains after thirty minutes..."
