Chapter 460 Japanese BBQ!

(Dazhang asked for a monthly pass)

In an instant.

"boom!"

The shell hit the earthen wall outside the devil's gun tower. In an explosion that shook the ground, gunpowder smoke burst out along with the fireball. The smoke filled the air and shrapnel flew across.

When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, half of the earth wall built by the devils outside the gun tower disappeared without a trace.

Since it was fired from low to high, and the devils stretched a layer of barbed wire outside and built an earthen wall, the shells hit the earthen wall and did not hit the gun tower.

But after this shot, the devil's entire gun tower was now exposed to the firing range of the 150mm howitzer.

Most of the soldiers in the first battalion had seen the power of the 150mm high-explosive shells, so they were not too surprised.

When we used the devil's small stronghold in Dagu Town to test the artillery, one shell that hit the devil's stronghold completely destroyed a small brick blockhouse and two small bunkers.

However, the devils had never seen it before, and the huge movement and explosion shocked the devils in the blockhouse.

The shock wave swept towards the gun tower with choking smoke and sharp shrapnel, and the shrapnel hit the wall of the gun tower, making a sharp metal trill.

Due to the thicker walls of the blockhouse, the interior space is relatively small. More than ten devils came, and the interior of the blockhouse seemed very crowded.

"Baga, shoot!"

The captain of the devil squad yelled.

The two machine guns on the first and second floors screamed wildly, and the machine gun bullets poured towards the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Among them is a crooked light machine gun on the first floor, and a Type [-] heavy machine gun on the second floor.

But it's a pity that the Devil's artillery tower is a full 800 meters away from the Xinyi regiment's artillery position. At such a distance, the kinetic energy of the machine gun bullets is seriously insufficient, and the ballistic trajectory is very scattered and not very accurate.

Moreover, each gun has a protective shield, and the bullets simply cannot hit the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

This distance has already exceeded the range of the grenadier, and the devils are not equipped with mortars.

The rate of fire of this 150mm howitzer was 4 rounds per minute. The artillerymen were very proficient, and soon reloaded a high-explosive shell, aiming at the devil's gun tower.

"Report, loading is complete."

"put!"

The artillery squad leader gave the order loudly without hesitation.

The gunner in charge of pulling the string immediately pulled the firing cord.

"boom!"

The muffled sound of firing the cannon sounded again, and a scorching flame burst out from the muzzle of the cannon. The wind swept by, and a cloud of dust was raised around the cannon body.

The 150mm howitzer is wild enough just by the sound of the cannon and the movement of the cannon.

As the saying goes, the wild will scare them.

The artillery shell traced a trajectory in the air and hit the devil's gun tower directly.

According to the impact point of the first shell, the gunner adjusted the angle of the muzzle so that the shooting elements could more accurately aim at the center of the gun tower.

The second shell accurately hit the outer wall of the gun tower. In the explosion that shook the ground, the Devil's gun tower suddenly burst into flames and smoke, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air again.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Zhang Dabiao and Yao Shangwen hurriedly raised their binoculars to look.

I saw that the place where the devil's gun tower was hit by the shell fell off a large piece, and it was sunken in, as if it had been chewed by a dog, but the structure of the gun tower was still intact.

"How about it, Battalion Commander Yao, how many 150mm shells can destroy this gun tower?"

Zhang Dabiao looked at Yao Shangwen and asked.

Yao Shangwen narrowed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and said solemnly: "The devil's gun tower is at least 2.5 meters thick. If you want to completely destroy it, at least dozens of 150mm shells are needed."

The devil tried the defensive capabilities of the turret and the bunker when he was repairing the turret, and the 105mm howitzer could only leave small holes on its outer wall.

Of course, the performance of the Devil's 105mm howitzer is not as good as the 105mm howitzer equipped by the new regiment.

However, it is enough to show that the defensive capabilities of the devil's newly built bunkers and gun towers are indeed amazing.

The difficulty of destroying the 70mm Type 75 infantry gun and the [-]mm mountain gun increases exponentially.

However, when the devils cut corners and materials when repairing the gun towers and bunkers, they were able to destroy them with 150mm howitzers and were willing to shell them.

Zhang Dabiao thought to himself, the devil has more than 100 such bunkers and artillery towers, wouldn't it cost thousands of rounds of 150mm howitzers?
"Battalion Commander Yao, we still have to attack the county seat, so we need to save some shells."

"In this way, our first battalion will cooperate with your heavy artillery battalion, and your heavy artillery battalion will cover it. I will let the infantry and flamethrowers of the first battalion go up and roast the devil."

With sharp eyes, Zhang Dabiao made a suggestion.

"No problem!" Yao Shangwen nodded and said, "Our heavy artillery battalion will continuously shell the devil's blockhouse to provide artillery fire cover. Although the shells cannot hurt the devils in the blockhouse, but the shells exploded on the blockhouse, the devils inside must not feel well."

150mm high-explosive shells are much more powerful than explosive packs.

The shell exploded on the wall of the gun tower, and the shock wave was transmitted into the gun tower, which definitely made the devil feel uncomfortable.

If you are lucky, you can shock some devils to death.

Zhang Dabiao walked to the offensive position of the large troops of the first battalion, which was less than 600 meters away from the artillery tower. He handed over the task of attacking the artillery tower to the second company and the first row.

Zhang Dabiao said to the soldiers in the first row of the second company:
"When it's time to attack, don't just rush with your life. In addition to the three-three system tactics, you must also pay attention to the close cooperation with the artillery."

"After firing the gun, move forward quickly. When the devil shoots, look for a cover to hide."

"Do you understand?"

The second company and the first row are almost all elite veterans, about 60 people, equipped with 2 flamethrowers.

When Zhang Dabiao said this, the soldiers immediately understood what he meant, and shouted in unison: "Understood!"

"attack!"

Under the leadership of the platoon leader, the soldiers spread out and moved towards the devil's gun tower in groups of three. The fire-breathing soldiers were protected in a relatively safe position.

Zhang Dabiao looked at another small hill, pointed at that hill, and ordered to the Second Company Commander: "Second Company Commander, take someone there to set up two heavy machine guns and two machine guns to cover the first platoon's attack."

The small hill is not high, but the top of the hill is almost at the same level as the devil's gun tower, and it is about 400 meters away from the devil's gun tower.

From there, shoot towards the devil's turret, and there is a chance to shoot bullets or machine shells into the turret.

"Yes!"

The second company commander turned around and headed towards Xiaoshanbao with soldiers and weapons.

During the soldiers' attack, the artillerymen fired another shot at the Devil's Tower, and the shell hit the outer wall of the Devil's Tower again, but not at the same point.

A huge explosion sounded suddenly, and gunpowder smoke filled the devil's gun tower.

Taking advantage of the time when the little devil was blown away by the shock wave, the soldiers in the second company and the first row accelerated their feet and ran towards the devil's gun tower.

The weight of the M2 flamethrower plus a full load of gasoline is 60 catties.

Carrying it on the back of a strong fighter is nothing to a fighter with good physical fitness.

The warriors carrying the flamethrowers walked like flying, and two warriors each followed them in a triangular formation.

Gunpowder smoke shrouded, and the concrete on the outer wall of the gun tower collapsed.

After the two shots, there was no movement of devils in the blockhouse for a long time.

At this time, the devils' brains were buzzing, and the shells exploded on the outer wall, as if someone threw a dynamite bag on their heads.

But as the smoke cleared, the devils gradually recovered, and the devil's observers soon discovered the attacking Eighth Route Army.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack!" The devil observer shouted loudly.

"Nani?" The leader of the Devil's team was temporarily deaf from the shock of the shell, and couldn't hear what the Devil's observer said.

The devil observer pointed to the observation hole, and the captain of the devil raised his binoculars to see that sporadic Eighth Route Army soldiers were launching an attack, less than 400 meters away from the gun tower.

"Ba Ga, kill the chicken!"

The leader of the Devil squad yelled suddenly.

"Da da da!"

The devil's two machine guns screamed wildly in an instant, and the machine gun bullets fired towards the Eighth Route Army in a fan.

However, because the Eighth Route Army soldiers were scattered in formation, and while the devils fired machine guns, they all sought cover to avoid.

Only one soldier was shot in the shoulder, and the injury was not very serious. Immediately after the soldier was shot, a health worker ran up to give him a shot of morphine and bandage the wound, and a soldier behind stepped forward to fill his position.

"Ba Ga, come again!"

The leader of the devil squad held up his binoculars to observe, and suddenly saw the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route firing again, and he hurriedly moved away from the shooting hole.

"boom!"

In a burst of explosions that seemed to shake the earth, the devils felt that their heads were about to be blown off, which was very uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the attacking soldiers of the second company and the first row advanced several tens of meters.

When the devils came back to their senses and started shooting, the soldiers crawled for cover again.

……

"It's useful to fight like this, but it's too much of a waste of shells."

In the field of vision of the telescope, Zhang Dabiao shook his head slightly as he watched the soldiers advance several tens of meters forward again.

The 150mm shells are precious. Each shell weighs more than 80 kilograms. If used properly, a single 150mm shell can kill dozens of devils.

But right now, one shell can only allow the soldiers to safely advance tens of meters, and at least a dozen shells can allow the soldiers to advance to the position of the gun tower.

Gotta figure out a way to save shells.

Although the shells can be reimbursed after winning the battle, they are 150mm shells.

If it is a mortar shell or a 75mm mountain artillery shell, Zhang Dabiao will not feel the slightest waste.

Zhang Dabiao looked serious, and ordered loudly: "Pass my order, the artillery company will set up the mortar and fire smoke bombs at the devil's artillery building!"

Soon, the soldiers of the artillery company set up the mortar.

With a muffled bang, the shrieking sound of the shells flying through the sky descended on the devil's turret, and then the gray-white smoke from the explosion quickly spread, completely covering the entire turret. The smoke was so thick that the vision was completely impenetrable .

Seeing the first battalion firing smoke bombs, the heavy artillery battalion stopped firing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, under the order of the platoon leader, the soldiers of the second company and the first row continued to head towards the devil's gun tower.

The duration of the smoke bombs was about 1 minute. When the smoke was about to disperse, the artillerymen of the artillery company quickly fired a few more smoke bombs to make up for it.

……

Looking at the smoke filling the shooting hole, the leader of the Devil's squad suddenly sank to the bottom of his mood.

The Eighth Route Army is actually equipped with smoke bombs?

And it's such an excellent smoke bomb!

Big trouble now!

Now the leader of the devil squad, I only hope that the Eighth Route Army will not have too many smoke bombs, and the smoke will dissipate quickly.

But the more I was afraid of what, the more I was afraid. Not only did the Eighth Route Army have a lot of smoke bombs, but they were not the kind of smoke bombs equipped by the little devils. The smoke bombs were not as dense as the smoke bombs.

The leader of the devil squad ordered the machine gunner to open fire continuously.

It seems that the sound of machine gun firing can strengthen courage.

But the devil's machine gunner couldn't see where the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had advanced.

The devils did not dare to go out of the gun towers to shoot, because the Eighth Route Army only used a single round of heavy artillery and high-explosive shells to blow up a radius of tens of meters outside the gun towers so that there was no grass.

Losing fire suppression, the soldiers in the second row of the company took the opportunity to quickly close the distance from the gun tower.

During the period, several soldiers were unfortunately hit by stray bullets, but most of them came to the barbed wire safely.

The soldiers cut the barbed wire with wire cutters, and then put on the wooden boards. Several soldiers passed by first, followed by the fire-breathing soldiers.

At this time, the devil's machine gun was still firing aimlessly, and he had no idea that the Eighth Route Army had approached him.

Within the range of the flamethrower, two flamethrowers from the first battalion and the second row held the flamethrower and pulled the trigger of the ignition grip on the devil's gun tower.

all of a sudden.

Two fire dragons shot out from the nozzle of the fire-breathing gun, and the fire dragon sprayed tens of meters away in a straight line, and sprayed out from the devil's shooting hole.

The next second, the devil's machine guns stopped abruptly, replaced by the devil's heart-piercing screams.

After the devil's machine gun misfired, the fire-breathing soldier quickly sprinted forward to close the distance, and continuously pulled the trigger of the grip, so that the fire dragon could better enter the gun tower from the firing hole.

Inside the jar was a new type of incendiary, napalm.

It's a gel-like gasoline, and what makes this stuff so powerful is that it sticks wherever it's sprayed.

Propelled by high-pressure nitrogen, it can be ejected in a straight line for a distance of 50 meters.

With this thing, the end of the group of Japanese rats who huddled in the strong gun towers and bunkers and shot guns came.

"Ah!" Immediately afterwards, more Japanese-style screams came from the blockhouse.

The napalm sprayed in was flowing while burning, and the inside of the gun towers and bunkers with narrow spaces was the best place to exert its lethality.

A few devils opened the small door of the gun tower, screamed and ran out, wrapped in flames, rolling on the ground and crying in pain.

But this flame is like a tarsal maggot, no matter how the devil rolls and beats, it can't be extinguished, but it burns more and more.

Some devils wrapped in flames saw the Eighth Route Army soldiers standing here, and wanted to rush over to embrace the Eighth Route Army soldiers and die together, but before the devils could get close, they were smashed into a sieve by submachine guns.

Various Japanese-style screams came one after another in the gun tower, and burning flames emerged from the shooting holes of the gun tower.

Devils wrapped in flames ran out of the door one after another. The soldiers had already run far away, standing in the distance quietly watching the devils howling in pain.

Not long after, the devil's screams subsided, and a strange smell of barbecue mixed with gasoline permeated near the devil's gun tower.

Looking at the charred corpse of the devil, the soldiers' eyes were full of joy!
