The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 192 Action Begins

everything's ready.

The twelve fighters of the elite squad carefully selected by the instructor Li Wenjie set off around one o'clock in the morning.

This is the most suitable time to launch a night attack at night. At this point, the devils and puppet soldiers in the stronghold sleep the most.

The moonlight tonight is not bright, nor is it pitch black. It is the kind of night where the road can be vaguely seen and the moonlight is hazy, which is suitable for military operations such as camping and sneak attacks.

Company commander Zhu Wu led the main force of the Ninth Company, local troops, and militiamen, lurking at the foot of a gentle slope several hundred meters away from the stronghold.

The instructor Li Wenjie is also there at the moment. Before the main force launches a charge, the grenadier position is with the main force.

Looking at the soldiers of the elite squad who were infiltrating into the devil's stronghold under the dim moonlight, Li Wenjie's face was full of worry through the moonlight.

Zhu Wu comforted in a low voice from the side: "Wenjie, don't worry, the fighters in this elite class are selected one by one by you according to their character and ability, and there will be no trouble."

"Having said that, I'm always worried. If I don't lead the team myself, I'm always afraid of some accidents." Li Wenjie said worriedly.

Talking in a low voice, in the sight of the two, the soldiers found the opportunity according to the information they had scouted in advance, and successfully approached the barbed wire fence around the devil's stronghold.

The next step is to cut the barbed wire, open a gap for a cat to pass through, and then put a plank on the trench filled with water by the devils, cross the trench, take the opportunity to approach the devil's stronghold, and place explosives.

Speaking of these processes, it doesn't seem too difficult.

Before the elite class set off, Li Wenjie repeatedly emphasized various details in the operation.

For example, when cutting barbed wire, don't cut it all at once, leave a part at the end and break it slowly with two hands to prevent the sound of clicking.

In the process of entering the devil's stronghold, the whole team had to prepare three guard posts, the head of the team, the tail of the team, and the middle of the team, to guard against the searchlights of the devil's circular inspection at any time.

Once the searchlight comes over, be sure to lie down and hide in time to avoid wearing reflective objects on your body.

The wooden planks used to pass through the devil's trench must be retracted in time to prevent being detected by the devil's sentinel.

All actions must follow the route kept in mind in advance to avoid the landmines planted by the Japanese and puppet troops inside and outside the stronghold.

……

……

Although a lot has been explained, it seems that this is the process.

The elite squad is full of experienced veterans.

But after all, it is risking a narrow escape, a little exposure, and the consequences are unimaginable. In addition, the defense of the stronghold during this period is extremely tight, and the little devil is jittery, but if there is a little trouble, the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire stronghold will be quickly mobilized .

So Li Wenjie was still worried.

He was afraid that something would go wrong on the way, like the last attack on the devil's stronghold, which caused additional casualties due to the gap between idealized command and execution.

Of course, as it turned out, everything was different.

The veterans of the elite class cooperated tacitly, bold yet cautious, careful yet decisive.

Amid Li Wenjie's worries, the veterans of the elite squad completed the task of placing the explosive packs without any risk, placed the wires, covered them alternately, and pulled out the barbed wire around the devil's stronghold from the gap along the way, and then withdrew the wooden boards. Plug the gap in the barbed wire again, and pull the other end of the wire back smoothly to connect to the detonator.

"Good job!" Zhu Wu praised in a low voice.

Now came the second step, under the command of Li Wenjie, leading the grenadier soldiers, knocking out the machine guns in the outer strongholds of the devils.

It should be mentioned here that after the cavalry company seized a large amount of equipment from Qu County, all units of the independent regiment have been strengthened in firepower.

Naturally, Jiulian has also been enhanced in firepower, strengthening a lot of light machine guns, and adding three grenade launchers.

In addition, the Ninth Company originally had three grenade launchers, which together make up six grenade launchers. Zhu Wu and Li Wenjie simply set up a grenade launcher squad in the company. ammunition hand.

If this was the case in the past, to knock down several machine gun fortifications of the devils, it would naturally be a grenadier responsible for one door.

But in fact, after this period of research and analysis, coupled with the performance of the grenade firepower in several attacks on the devil's stronghold.

Li Wenjie discovered a problem a long time ago. The hit rate of this grenadier is far from as high as everyone imagined.

Even for a little devil who is skilled in gun handling, if he wants to use a grenadier to shoot anywhere, it is basically a dream.

Why when the Eighth Route Army was fighting the little devil, they felt that the little devil's grenadier was powerful, and when the machine guns on the army's side fired, the devil's grenadier shells hit him right afterward?
That's not to say that the little devil's grenadier can hit accurately, at least a single-shot grenade can't hit that kind of hit rate.

But when the little devils use grenadier firepower, most of them use mass bombardment.

Several grenades fired together, using a wide range of fire coverage to increase the hit rate.

In addition, the artillery scouts of the devils, holding the range-finding telescope, adjust the next shooting elements at any time according to the deviation between the target and the impact point of the artillery. It looked as if he had eyes. As soon as the Eighth Route Army's machine gun fired, the devil's grenadier shells followed one after another.

Right now, Li Wenjie, who had suffered a lot, has naturally learned his lesson.

He led some grenadier squads, and after advancing another 400 meters, he explained: "Where are the machine gun fortifications on the periphery of the Japanese army? When I asked you to investigate during the day, you all remembered it in your heart. Our current position , The point is about [-] meters away from the devil's machine gun fortification. We have estimated this distance in advance, and it is relatively accurate.

After a while, the three grenadiers were divided into a group, covered with group firepower, and strived for a one-time success. First, I blew up the two light machine gun fortifications on the periphery of the devil's stronghold.

After succeeding, quickly retreat from the right side of the gentle slope to prevent the devil from counterattacking with artillery fire. "

"Yes!"

Around one fifteen in the morning.

Li Wenjie gave an order, "Fire!"

Two grenadier teams, six grenadiers, fired at the Japanese stronghold almost simultaneously.

boom -

The violent explosion of the explosion broke the silence of the night.

The mass grenadier fire commanded by Li Wenjie worked.

Three grenadier shells fell towards the machine gun fortifications outside the stronghold, and the range of damage greatly increased the hit rate. In the first round of concentrated fire, the machine gun fortifications on the right outside the Japanese stronghold were completely blown up. Fortunately, the machine gun fortifications avoided the explosion range, only a few meters away.

The monitor of the grenadier squad responsible for the observation reported the data of the deviation of the gun's impact point in time.

After a quick adjustment, the second round of artillery shells flew out, and the machine gun fortification on the devil's left was not spared, and became ruins amidst the explosion.

The Devil's machine gunner, who was dozing off on the machine gun fortification, was bombarded to death by shells before he had time to react.

The sudden bombardment awakened an unknown number of devils and puppet soldiers from their sleep, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The life-threatening Eighth Route is coming!
All over the stronghold, the alarm sounded loudly for a while.

The devils and puppet soldiers got out of bed in a panic, grabbed the guns placed in the corner of the bed, and rushed out of the stronghold.

The devils in the turret also rushed out of the shop in a hurry, rushed to the machine guns everywhere, looked for the enemy, and launched a counterattack.

Looking at the stronghold where Ji Feigou jumped up, Li Wenjie laughed, and ordered: "Withdraw, and stand by at the second bombardment site!"
