The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 56
The night was getting deeper and deeper, the weather was slightly cool, and Xiao'an Town shrouded in darkness was completely dead.

This is an ordinary town that is considered to be a small half of the Peach Blossom Spring in peacetime.

If you put aside the layers of darkness, you will soon find that the Japanese army that has long been occupied here has built a military center like an iron barrel.

The town is at the core, and the outside is like an onion, surrounded by layers of fortifications and defensive buildings.

Outermost are three towers of masonry structure standing tall.

The turrets are arranged in an arc, and each turret has a similar structure, with a total of three floors. The turret in the middle is obviously much larger than the turrets on both sides. Check the situation around the gun tower.

Tens of meters away from the gun tower, there is a barbed wire fence pulled up by the devils as usual, with a trench, and the trench is filled with water to prevent sneak attacks by armed forces behind the enemy.

In addition, the insidious devils also planted some mines around the iron net.

There used to be some guerrillas who passed through the iron fence area outside Xiao'an Town and accidentally stepped on landmines, causing a lot of casualties. If they hadn't withdrawn quickly, they would have been wiped out by the machine gun fire from the gun tower.

The firepower of the machine guns installed in the devil's gun tower can almost cover the entire outer fortification area, but if there is the slightest sign of trouble, the firepower of the devil will pour over.

Behind the gun tower is the outer fortification of Xiao'an Town. Just like Kong Jie's investigation, there are five heavy machine gun fortifications as fire support just on the outer edge.

After passing the barbed wire fence, gun towers, and outlying fortifications, it is considered that they have really come into contact with the core area of ​​Xiao'an Town, where the devils deployed the last defenders.

This is also the reason why the devils used Xiao'an Town as a hub of the transportation line, but the Eighth Route Army has never dared to act rashly.

The troops dispatched were too few to capture Xiaoan Town, and the troops dispatched were too large to defeat Xiaoan Town for a while, and Japanese reinforcements would definitely arrive. Once the scale of the battle expanded, no one could say where it would go.

In addition, the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army were too poor, and the artillery fire at hand was not enough to blow up the devil's gun tower, even if the gun tower was only made of masonry.

……

A group of "devils" quickly walked through under the cover of darkness.

After approaching Xiao'an Town, looking at the searchlights on the three gun towers from a distance, the new group of soldiers who did this kind of night attack on the gun towers for the first time couldn't help but sweat in the bottom of their hearts.

Even before anyone got close, they could already feel the fortified defense of Xiao'an Town.

"These three gun towers are indeed a big trouble. The road leading to Xiao'an Town is between the two gun towers on the right. With such gun towers as firepower attack points, the devils can provide a steady stream of ammunition. They want to attack Xiao'an head-on during the day. Town, even if you don't consider the devil's reinforcements, I think it's enough." Ding Wei couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Kong Jie scolded in a low voice: "The little devils in Gou Ri are bullying us for not having large-caliber artillery. Devils don't dare to be so rampant."

Ding Wei smiled and said: "Old Kong, don't be sour. If we have infantry artillery, we still need a sneak attack? I will lead the troops to fight in. I will take Xiao'an Town later, and first remove the devil's three artillery towers from the ground." Let’s talk about the internal explosion.”

"it is good!"

"Old Ding, the commando team I have is the most experienced in attacking the devil's artillery building at night. I have checked the required intelligence information in the past two days. Brothers, remember it by heart. You let the soldiers of your regiment follow behind." Kong Jie said.

"No problem." Ding Wei said, he was also a little curious in his heart. He had heard that Kong Jie formed a commando team. When he attacked the Changpo stronghold, he was able to take down the gun tower silently. It is said that this is the team. The team did it.

But this is the first time Ding Wei has seen the commando make a move.

The team was quickly divided into three parts, the commando of the independent regiment was at the forefront, followed by the veterans of the independent regiment who followed the commando this time, and Ding Wei and others from the new regiment followed.

Kong Jie took the lead in getting in at the front.

Approaching the outer barbed wire, Kong Jie suddenly raised his left hand high, and the whole team stopped immediately, and then Kong Jie pressed his palm down, and the members of the commando prostrated themselves on the ground without hesitation.

The veterans of the independent regiment were not slow to move, and Ding Wei had Kong Jie's explanation in advance, so he just followed the team in front of him and made tactical moves.

The soldiers of the new regiment immediately learned in style.

The searchlights of the Devil's Tower slowly patrolled past, but because Kong Jie and the others were still some distance away from the barbed wire, the searchlights fell a few meters ahead of Kong Jie, and no clues were found.

After the searchlight flashed by, Kong Jie still didn't move, he waited quietly, his eyes fixed on the blockhouse.

Occasionally squinting, looking at the watch on his left wrist by the moonlight.

The watch was confiscated when the Changpo stronghold was captured. As for the ancestral pocket watch that Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, borrowed from his family, Wang Leihu, who had been detained and searched, took it back.

It was already 55:[-] in the night, Kong Jie thought silently in his heart, the ground had cooled down in the middle of the night, and there were bursts of chills, but it still couldn't stop the excitement and heat in his heart.

The memory seemed to blur in Kong Jie's mind for a moment.

In peaceful times, what one has learned is limited to fantasy and military exercises. It is true that soldiers are raised for a thousand days, but they are rarely used for a while.

Kong Jie felt the fantasy of life, as if in the blink of an eye, he was living in this era full of heroism and tragedy.

Feeling the vivid martyrs around you, and now being able to share life and death with them and fight side by side, what kind of luck and pride is this?

Born in this world, you should have blood!

... Behind him, the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan couldn't help but look at his regiment commander a few more times.

It's been quite a while, and the leader didn't move at all. Could it be that he fell asleep at this critical moment?

The leader can't be so unreliable, can he?

Just thinking about it, on the third floor of the blockhouse on the far left outside Xiao'an Town, the light of a small flashlight flashed three times at a place a little farther away from the searchlight.

Immediately afterwards, similar lights flickered on the third floor of the second blockhouse and the third blockhouse.

Both Shen Quan and Kong Jie were shocked.

coming!

Kong Jie glanced at the time again. It was exactly two o'clock in the morning as agreed by both parties. The original words reported by Shen Quan sounded in his heart:
"Regiment commander, Wang An, the company commander of the puppet army, said that their company is responsible for assisting the devils to garrison the outer gun towers. Each gun tower has his brothers in a platoon. Before taking action, he will explain to the three platoon commanders that the three The platoon leader is also a trustworthy person."

"It's just that during this period of time, our independent regiment has vigorously developed the puppet army and established the enemy's engineering department behind the enemy. The devils have more or less detected some news, so they are also wary of the puppet army in the defense of this artillery building. In the past, the defense of this artillery building The devils lived on the third floor, the puppet soldiers lived on the second floor, and the first floor was hoarding goods, but since the devils started to be wary of the puppet soldiers, in order to avoid direct contact with us, the devils arranged the puppet troops on the third floor. Stay on the second floor by yourself."

"There are also devil sentries on the second floor at night, and there are also searchlights on the third floor. The little devils are worried, and their people are in charge. In addition, the devil sentries on the second floor will go up to the third floor to inspect every once in a while."

"This time is about half an hour, so Wang An said that two o'clock in the night is the best time to launch a sneak attack. The devil sentry just finished investigating on the third floor. He will arrange someone to kill the devil sentry on the third floor secretly, and then use The flashlight transmits the signal, but I hope we can enter the gun tower within half an hour, otherwise the puppet army on the third floor may not be able to kill the devils on the second floor smoothly."

After clearing his mind, Kong Jie didn't hesitate anymore, and with a wave of his hand, the team followed him again...
