Chapter 448 The Japanese army is releasing water?
At the beginning, the bounce points of the artillery battalion were very scattered. After several rounds of adjustments, the bounce points slowly concentrated on the periphery line built by the Japanese army around the railway station.
In particular, infantry artillery and mountain artillery were specifically focused on the artillery towers and castles standing on the ground.
"Boom..." A loud bang rang out at the railway station, and a cannon tower near Zhou Cheng collapsed, and then turned into a pile of ruins.
After seeing this scene, a Japanese man rushed out of the hiding castle with a panic expression, worried that he would be buried in the ruins.
But mortars with higher firing rates are not vegetarians.
The shells hit the castle like rain, and the flying fragments intertwined each other, forming an impenetrable death storm. As soon as the Japanese emerged from the castle, they were hit by several fragments on their upper body and fell to the ground with a scream.
"Boom... rumbling..." A brick wall could not withstand the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell, and was directly blown out a huge gap of five or six meters wide.
The Japanese hiding behind the brick wall was not killed by the shells, but was seriously injured by the collapsed bricks and stones. They fell to the ground and struggled with screams.
"Boom..." A mountain cannon shell just hit the trench between the castles. In the violent explosion, the trench was like paper, and instantly exploded a large pit two or three meters wide. The soil was blown up everywhere, which looked particularly scary.
In less than two minutes, the Japanese army's outer defense line was blown up and the sky was filled with fire. Flying limbs, broken arms, stones, and dirt...
The Secret Service Company, the 6th Company of the Second Battalion, the 9th Company of the Third Battalion, and the 12th Company of the Fourth Battalion, took the opportunity to lean towards the train station.
When there were more than 200 meters away from the shelling area, the heavy machine gun troops attacking with the team quickly put the machine gun on the roadside high ground, keeping a close eye on the Japanese who were still suffering from artillery fire, and providing fire cover to the offensive troops at any time.
The offensive troops continued to approach the train station with light machine guns and grenade launchers. They had to shorten the attack distance as much as possible under the cover of artillery fire, so that the troops could enter the train station at the minimum cost.
While the other artillery continued to roar, the four infantry cannons suddenly stopped and were pulled by dozens of gunners, divided into four, and rushed towards the four attacking troops.
There were also many ammunition hands following behind, and two people carried ammunition boxes full of shells in groups.
They planned to cover the offensive troops from close range, knock down the remaining Japanese firepower points on the battlefield after the artillery was over, clear the passage for the infantry to attack, and enter the railway station.
"Boom..."
Five minutes later, the shells fired from the artillery battalion were agreed upon and all hit behind the outer defense line of the railway station.
The offensive troops near the railway station were already touched and climbed up from the ground at the same time, holding guns and holding submachine guns, rushed towards the railway station in a line of scattered soldiers.
The machine gunner who rushed forward rushed forward and hugged the fire, hoping to suppress the remaining Japanese devils on the defense line.
Everyone rushed forward for more than ten meters before gunfire sounded at the railway station.
It was very sparse at the beginning, with only a few soldiers being knocked down on the offensive road.
After rushing forward for more than ten meters, the gunshots in the train station began to become dense, and several light and heavy machine guns joined the battle.
The casualties of the offensive troops immediately rose in a straight line, and they had to suspend their attacks, lying down and shooting against the remaining Japanese at the railway station, and then crawled forward while shooting, continuing to shorten the assault distance of the offensive railway station.
The smoke covering the Japanese positions finally dissipated a lot. There were five machine guns shooting in front, blocking the spy company tightly, but the flames sprayed out from the gun muzzle also exposed their specific locations.
The light machine gun that was attacking with the team, and the heavy machine gun that provided fire cover behind them, immediately opened fire to counterattack, hoping to knock them out and cover the offensive troops to continue attacking forward.
The grenade launcher troops also joined the battle in time, squatting on the ground, desperately firing grenades at the Japanese machine gun fire point.
But their shooting skills are too poor. If they shoot out three grenades, one of them may not hit the target.
"Boom boom boom..."
Three explosions suddenly rang out in the middle of the spy company, and the two machine guns that were shooting were silent on the spot. The machine gunner and the machine gun were blown over and fell to the ground motionless.
"The Japanese grenade launcher troops have fired fire, and the machine gunners are all moving for me. Don't be targeted by the Japanese grenade launcher!" Shen Liwen, the commander of the spy company, looked heartbroken and anxious to order.
"Boom..." At the critical moment, the infantry cannon following the spy company finally opened fire.
The shells passed over everyone's heads with a harsh whistle, hitting exactly next to a machine gun fire point.
"Boom..." Because the spies were very close to the bounce point, the moment the fire rose from the Japanese machine gun fire, the explosion also reached their ears.
Under the reflection of the firelight, you can clearly see that all three Japanese in the firepower point were blown up and the machine gun was blown up.
The Japanese army lost a machine gun, and the pressure of the spy company dropped sharply. The rifleman seized the opportunity to continue crawling forward.
"Boom..." Quickly adjust the infantry artillery that shot the officers and continue firing.
As soon as the shell exploded, the fire point it targeted was silent.
The remaining three machine gun fire points were silent at the same time. The Japanese also realized that they were no match for infantry artillery. They quickly moved the machine gun position while they had not been targeted by infantry artillery.
"Comrades...fight with me..."
Chen Liwen seized the opportunity to get up from the ground and rushed towards the train station quickly, hoping to rush forward dozens of meters before the remaining three Japanese machine guns were fired.
The light machine guns that were attacking with the team continued to shoot, and the heavy machine guns that provided fire cover behind them were also shooting. Even if they could not get rid of the remaining three light machine guns of the Japanese army, it would be fine to suppress the Japanese infantry surviving the defense line.
"Dadada..." The three machine guns that the Japanese army moved to a new position rejoined the battle, and the offensive of the spy company had to stop again.
But at this moment, the fastest-running soldier had rushed to a fifty meters outside the railway station.
Leaning on the ground, taking out the grenade, ready to continue attacking forward.
As long as the remaining three machine guns of the Japanese were silent again, they immediately stood up and rushed forward for eight or nine meters, and threw the grenades into the Japanese position with the help of inertia, the remaining Japanese on the defense line would definitely be blown up...
"Boom..." The infantry artillery fired for the third time, knocking down a Japanese firepower point again. The only two remaining machine guns had to be transferred again.
It was time to say that, and several soldiers who ran in front quickly pulled out the grenade fuse, rolled and crawled up from the ground, stood up, shook their arms and ran forward.
When he was about to rush out ten meters, he shook out the grenade that was emitting white smoke in his hand, and then lay on the ground, holding the rifle in his hand flat in his hand, ready to shoot at any time.
"Boom boom boom..."
Nearly ten grenades hit the Japanese defense line, and the few Japanese devils killed and injured more than ten people again. One machine gun was also blown up, leaving only one machine gun and more than twenty riflemen who were guarding the ruins and struggling.
"Boom boom boom..." More and more soldiers threw grenades under the action of inertia to harvest the lives of the Japanese.
Of course, the spy company also paid a huge price in the process.
The grenades fired by the Japanese army with grenade launchers continued to explode in the middle of the spy company, overturning one warrior after another.
The bullets shot seemed to have eyes, and they were biting flesh, and there were almost no empty guns.
"Comrades... kill with me..." After more than twenty grenades flew into the Japanese defense line, Chen Liwen decisively got up from the ground. Under the cover of the explosion, he raised the box cannon and rushed towards the railway station first.
The Japanese defense line has been blown into ruins, with the corpses of Japanese devils and broken limbs everywhere. Chen Liwen shot while rushing, looking ahead, and his eyes are particularly vigilant. He greets any movement in front with bullets...
"Captain, the spy company rushed into the train station. We won this battle..." After Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu led his troops away, Deputy Chief of Staff Li Honghui assisted Zhou Cheng in commanding the battle. He shouted excitedly when he saw the spy company rushing into the Japanese's outer defense line.
Zhou Cheng couldn't be happy. The more he looked at the expression on his face, the more serious he felt, because he felt that the attack was too relaxed.
Although the artillery fire advantage lies with one's own side, the Japanese defending the train station are not mud-made.
With their strength, the artillery fire raid just now caused them to suffer at most half of the losses, and the remaining half of the troops could block the spies for 10 or 20 minutes in a row.
In the attack just now, the spy company fought in less than ten minutes and rushed into their defense line. This was too easy, just like the Japanese were deliberately letting water out.
The Japanese army's blocking firepower was also not right: the Japanese soldiers stationed at the railway station. Although one of them was crippled by himself in the previous battle, the other was not fully organized. It would be fine if the two brigades combined to gather more than a dozen heavy machine guns.
The spy company is its main attack direction. Under normal circumstances, the Japanese army must assemble at least half of its troops and firepower to block the spy company. Five or six heavy machine guns are definitely indispensable.
The artillery fire just now hit, and even if it was half destroyed by itself, there should be two to three heavy machine guns left on the defense line.
But in the blocking battle just now, there was no heavy machine gun, and only five light machine guns participated in the battle. This was so strange...
All signs show that the Japanese in the train station are not as simple as they see it on the surface.
The spy company seemed to have successfully entered the railway station, but this matter could be both a good thing or a good thing that turned bad. It was a trap prepared by the Japanese for the spy company.
But Zhou Cheng was relieved that even if the Japanese army really prepared a net of heaven and earth at the railway station, the spy company would be attacked several times at most, and would not be severely damaged or eaten by the Japanese.
The train station in front of me is too small. Even if more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops are stationed, it is still not enough for the Japanese army to prepare a pocket array that can accommodate the entire spy company.
Thinking of this, the serious expression on Zhou Cheng's face gradually became relaxed.
Inside the train station, the Grandmaster of Ekou had moved the command post from the roof of the artillery tower to a very hidden castle.
When he heard his subordinates say that the National Salvation Army had entered the railway station, a sneer flashed quickly on his serious face, and then ordered: "Let the street fighting troops prepare for the battle. The brigade commander said that there are not many National Salvation Army attacking us. As long as we can kill and injure them in large quantities, we will not lose this battle."
