Zhou Zhizhong held up the telescope and stared at the front. He didn't know the details of the special forces, but he saw that this small army was very unusual. Many special forces members were both long and short, and were equipped with a dazzling machine gun and a sock gun, which had strong firepower.
The puppet army sentry beside the bonfire suddenly fell down. Zhou Zhizhong looked at it in confusion, but did not find any figure who touched the sentry.
Song Qingpu brought two vanguards in front of him, holding a wooden box of muzzle guns that could shoot with shoulders. He was equipped with a muzzle. After diving to a distance of 30 meters, he began to snipe the sentry silently.
One, two... The special operations team successfully killed two sentries, sneaked into the village entrance, and killed a squad of puppet troops guarding the house at the entrance of the village.
The flashlight covered with a red cloth drew two circles. Zhou Zhizhong swallowed vigorously and waved his hand to order the three-column forwards to set off.
According to the telegram instructions, Zhou Zhizhong would join two battalions to attack the village, while the other battalion was ambushed on both sides of the road two miles away to ambush the escaped enemy. This was a completely annihilated enemy, and Zhou Zhizhong was a little surprised. But it was also clearly stated in the telegram that the main attack would be the battalion of the Third Column.
In this case, even if Zhou Zhizhong is dissatisfied, he has nothing to say. He is not treating you as cannon fodder, but he will let you stand in front of the war.
This Yang Tianfeng is very thoughtful and good at speculating on people's hearts! Zhou Zhizhong thought this way, and the forward company had completely controlled the entrance of the village, and a red signal flare flew up in the air.
Gunshots sounded and signal flares rose, making the sober Japanese and puppet troops in the village realize that they might have been attacked.
"Let's fire!" Wang Guang, who had been dry-mouthed for a long time, roared in the artillery positions in more than three miles south of the village.
The six mortars were divided into two groups, and their respective firing angles had been adjusted. The shells were loaded with fuses and piled them beside them. After hearing the order, the artillery immediately loaded the shells in.
Tong, Tong, Tong... After a continuous muffled sound, the shells flew up in the air and smashed towards the established target.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The dazzling fire light kept flashing, accompanied by a deafening loud noise, and balls of gunpowder rose up in the village.
Accompanied by the artillery fire, more than a thousand men from the Third Column quickly approached the village from east and south. The artillery stopped, and the attacking troops had rushed over more than two miles and launched an attack on the village.
In the east, south and north directions, the officers and soldiers of the 61st Regiment and the Third Column attacked fiercely at the same time, causing the enemy to lose sight of the other. The unexpected artillery fire attack caused heavy losses to the Japanese. Many Japanese were killed and injured in their sleep, or were crushed by collapsed houses. The command system failed and caught off guard, and the enemy fell into a full passive state.
Since the entrance of the village to the north was controlled by the special forces, the progress of the north was also the fastest after the bombardment was completed. Under the leadership of the special forces, the officers and soldiers of the 61st Regiment entered the village and launched a thunderous raid. Grenades were thrown across the courtyard wall, or smashed window paper, flew into the house, and exploded with a bang, tearing the stubborn enemy to pieces.
Most of the enemies met the King of Hell before they understood what was going on. Even if there were untidy enemies who fought back, they could not organize effective resistance.
"Twist it together and blow it to death." A platoon leader greeted several soldiers and lined up in a row, standing in the shooting corner and swung several grenades hard at the stubborn courtyard. There were several loud noises of "boom, boom, boom", and gun smoke filled.
Crash, crash, the corners of the wall trembled, and the whole wall was blown to collapse. Another row of grenades were thrown over, and the enemy was in a mess of casualties and cries were endless.
About a small team of puppet soldiers fought back violently along the streets and alleys under the command of several Japanese devils with their faces twisted and roaring loudly.
Boom, boom, boom! Several tongues of fire, a piece of iron rain, shot towards the enemy with a slump, and countless iron sands are difficult to avoid. This is the first time that the Third Column used a new weapon - the Shotgun, which showed its power in street battles.
Speaking of which, similar weapons have hit the Japanese devils during the Anti-Japanese War. That is the old antique large lift pole. The large lift pole is generally about three meters long and has a diameter of five centimeters. Several iron hoops fix the barrel and the buttstock together. There is a fire door at the end of the gun, which is triggered by ignition with a big incense when shooting. Although it is loading the front bore and the speed is slow, it is indeed very effective to curb the group's charge and fight street battles.
The sorp* shotgun used by the third longitudinal column is much more powerful than the big lift pole, and the firing rate alone is not comparable to the big lift pole. The enemy who counterattacked was caught off guard, and the streets were narrow and the troops could not be deployed. Under the continuous ejection of the sorp* shotgun, there were heavy casualties and retreat.
On the roof, machine guns were firing like poisonous snakes. As soon as several soldiers from the third column rushed to the street, they were hit by rain-like bullets. The soldiers behind hurriedly retreated and hid behind the wall.
A moment later, two mortar shells flew into the air. With the explosion, the roof collapsed, and the Japanese machine gunners buried in the dust and dust.
A Japanese officer waved his command knife to command the puppet army to charge straight, trying to occupy the center of the street and hinder the opponent's continued advancement. In just a moment, the Japanese officer suddenly fell down like a piece of wood. The puppet army lost its commander and the formation began to riot.
The gunfire was loud, and a company of the Sixty-first regiment took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack. After a fierce shooting, it pounced on it, disrupting the puppet army and forcing them to start a hand-to-hand combat battle. The puppet army with weak fighting will was caught off guard, and was in a panic, and retreated in exclamation.
The effect of the artillery fire attacks is becoming increasingly apparent. The Japanese suffered considerable losses, and the puppet army, which lacked the Japanese supervising formation, was unintentional to fight and retreated one after another.
Relying on the advantage of numbers, the soldiers of the Third Column and the Sixty-first Regiment stubbornly crushed the enemy's initial counterattack with shotguns, machine guns, and grenades. The attack became more and more convenient, and they attacked from three sides to compress the enemy step by step.
In the courtyard where the Japanese command was located, most of the houses were blown up, and broken bricks and tiles were everywhere, and there was a mess. A Japanese officer was kicking the puppet army and cleaning up the rubble, roaring angry from time to time.
"Where is Lord Dazhu?" Squadron leader Kobayashi walked over quickly, grabbed the officer and asked sternly.
"The residence of Your Excellency Dazhu has been blown up and is being cleaned up." The Japanese officer did not dare to look directly at Kobayashi's fierce gaze and replied with his head down.
Kobayashi pushed hard, and the officer staggered and almost fell.
