Predator Reborn

Chapter 277: Attacking Baoding (4)

As Liu Xiaogang's order ended, six mortars immediately began to fire mortar shells at the fastest speed into the compound where the Japs were guarding. Suddenly, the backyard of the Japs' headquarters was flooded with raindrops of shells.

In the densely populated Japanese headquarters, almost every artillery shell dropped would cause certain casualties to the Japanese army. Coupled with the accurate sniping of more than a dozen snipers from the commanding heights outside the headquarters, the hundreds of soldiers guarding the headquarters were

At this moment, the Japanese completely became the targets of massacre.

Finally, ten minutes passed. According to Liu Xiaogang's wishes, all the more than two hundred artillery shells carried by the special operations brigade were fired into the backyard of the Japanese headquarters. As the sound of artillery and the surrounding gunfire stopped, the entire Japanese commander

In the backyard of the headquarters, except for the wailing of soldiers and the continuous explosion of ammunition, there was almost no sound.

"Commandos, all rush in and eliminate the remaining Japs. Pay special attention to the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander. Don't let this big fish get away..." Looking at the backyard gate that had been damaged by artillery shells.

Without any hesitation, Liu Xiaogang immediately ordered the team members behind him to launch the final attack.

"Da da da..." Suddenly, more than a dozen light machine guns of the first commando team rang out. Under the cover of intensive firepower, the soldiers rushed into the Japanese headquarters one after another. However, at this time, what was left was

In addition to the stumps and broken arms of the special operations brigade, there were also wounded people everywhere. Even Major General Katsuzo Kitamura, the commander of the Japanese brigade, was accurately hit by a shell and fell at the door of the headquarters.

"Reporting to the captain, all personnel in the Japanese military headquarters were wiped out by us, including one major general, one colonel, two lieutenants, six minors, and more than 240 officers below lieutenant rank... In addition, we seized the Japanese radio station 4

Department, a batch of other supplies are being counted." Meng Jie, the leader of the Second Squadron, ran to Liu Xiaogang with a face filled with smoke and reported.

"Okay, well done...leave all the artillery to clean the battlefield and welcome the arrival of the main force. The rest of the people will gather immediately and follow me to meet the commander, and give the little devils some blows from behind...

Liu Xiaogang ordered excitedly.

"Yes, Captain..." Soon, after leaving more than 20 artillerymen, the remaining special operations team members of less than 100 people immediately gathered in front of Liu Xiaogang. They replenished the ammunition depot at the Japanese headquarters.

After obtaining enough ammunition, Liu Xiaogang and two squadron leaders divided their troops into three groups and quickly rushed to the south gate where the gunfire was the most intense for reinforcements.

Just as the fight between the reinforcements of the Little Japs and the Eighth Route Army entering the county was in full swing, special operations brigades carrying a large amount of automatic firepower suddenly launched a surprise attack behind the Little Japs. Suddenly, dense bullets destroyed the Japanese positions.

Chaos. Being surrounded by enemies from both sides, the Japanese blocking positions were easily broken through by the soldiers.

In this way, after the soldiers paid a heavy price of casualties, the Japanese troops in the county were slowly eliminated. Until six o'clock the next morning, the gunfire in Changzhi County completely stopped. The entire county,

A new day ushered in with cheers from the soldiers.

Just when the soldiers entered the county town, the cavalry group had easily eliminated the Japanese artillery regiment. Just when the artillery regiment outside the city was firing, Wang Hu had already led more than a thousand cavalry troops to ambush the artillery units some distance away.

The regiment was stationed behind a mountain ridge less than one kilometer away, quietly waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

Finally, the artillery regiment opened fire. Amidst the explosions of shells, the entire city wall was plunged into a sea of ​​flames. However, Wang Hu did not immediately order the cavalry group to attack. He was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the best opportunity to attack. Because

, around the artillery wing, there is a reinforced squadron of Imps for defense. Among the Imps of an infantry squadron, the one that scares Wang Hu the most is not the squadron of Imps, but the one set up in the Artillery Regiment.

There are dozens of heavy machine guns around. You must know that the firepower of these heavy machine guns is the biggest killer of cavalry troops... However, after a while, the opportunity comes.

As the shelling from the artillery regiment outside the city became more and more fierce, the commander of the Japanese artillery regiment could no longer sit still. Although the Japanese artillery regiment did not receive an order from the headquarters to fire artillery at this time. However, the artillery regiment

The captain still decisively ordered the two artillery brigades to prepare for battle and prepare to suppress the enemy's artillery fire.

Of course, at this time, all the cannons of the artillery regiment were covered with gun jackets. If you wanted to aim at the Eighth Route Army artillery positions outside the city, you had to turn around collectively and give these heavy cannons their main position again. However, if you want to target the several-ton heavy cannons,

The artillery turned around and rearranged their positions as quickly as possible. It couldn't be that easy.

The commander of the Japanese artillery regiment was forced to use the infantry of a surrounding squadron. Under the forcible order of the regiment commander, the surrounding infantry had to put down their weapons and join the ranks of the artillery. Slowly, the entire artillery regiment

There was only a token defense force of less than one squad left around the team.

"Okay, the opportunity has come... Notify all the soldiers in the cavalry group to mount their horses and prepare to charge..." Seeing that the little devil suddenly lost more than half of his defensive strength, Wang Hu, as the commander-in-chief, was extremely excited.

He ordered softly to the four battalion commanders behind him.

"Yes, Commander..." At this time, less than a small group of Japanese soldiers guarding the defensive position had no idea that around him, a regiment of cavalry was slowly approaching him. Instead, he faced

Hundreds of soldiers were busy on the artillery position, pointing and showing no signs of vigilance.

"Ono-kun, fortunately the squadron leader allowed us to stay. You see, those artillerymen are tired now. Haha... We are really lucky... we don't have to carry such heavy cannons." On a machine gun position

, a machine gun shooter said to the deputy shooter next to him.

"Hey, what Mr. Nakamura said is very correct. We are so happy now. We can lie here and have a good rest... We don't have to suffer with those artillery soldiers. I don't know which army it is, but the list is so big.

Attack the county town we are defending, and when the artillery regiment opens fire, these Chinese troops will be blown to pieces..." The deputy shooter also answered with a smile, and pointed at the city wall that was already in a sea of ​​flames.

While the two were chatting, suddenly, a huge roar that was different from the explosion of a cannonball gradually reached everyone's ears.

"Ono-kun, listen, what is the sound? Is it thunder?" The machine gunner raised his head, looked at the dark sky, and asked.

"Nani, thunder...how is it possible? Look, there is a moon in the sky..." the deputy shooter named Ono pointed at the moon in the sky and said. However, he did not see that the machine gun shooter Nakamura next to him was stunned.

Looking directly in front of him, countless cavalrymen swarmed towards him, waving their sabers.

"Baga, Ono-kun. Look, the cavalry, the cavalry...are the Chinese cavalry..." Looking at the excited assistant shooter next to him, Nakamura-kun reminded him in stunned silence.

"Nani... cavalry... Nakamura-kun, stop talking nonsense. Where can there be Chinese cavalry? Are you deceiving? ... Ah... they are really Chinese cavalry.

...Baga...immediately notify the squadron leader to enter the position...quickly...fire a warning shot..." Looking at the cavalry troops approaching him quickly, the deputy shooter shouted anxiously.

"Da da da..." I don't know who was the first to fire. Immediately afterwards, dozens of soldiers still on the position reacted from the shock and joined the counterattack. However, there was only less than one squad.

How could the Japanese army's firepower withstand the impact of more than a thousand Eighth Route Army cavalry?

Finally, after paying more than a hundred casualties, the cavalry group finally rushed in front of the defensive troops. At this time, the Japanese squadron leader, who learned of the situation, was leading his troops to shoot wildly in an attempt to block the attack.

The pace of the cavalry charge, then entering the position...

"Comrades, kill..." a loud roar sounded particularly loud among the entire cavalry regiment. After hearing this shout, the soldiers also roared and rushed towards the Japanese position.

More than a thousand cavalry troops, with just one charge, killed most of the squadron reinforced by the Japanese army. Most of the little devils were wiped out on the battlefield by the soldiers, and their heads were missing. Only a small number of little devils were killed.

Frightened by the brutal battle before him, he rolled and crawled and fled towards the artillery position.

However, his speed was increasing, but he was not faster than the cavalry. He destroyed the infantry squadron of the little Japanese. The soldiers did not make any stop, holding the sabers already stained with blood in their hands, and followed the escaping little Japanese toward the Japanese army.

artillery regiment.

The rest was easy for more than a thousand cavalry. The soldiers of the entire artillery regiment were eliminated one by one like lambs to be slaughtered under the hands of these fast-running cavalry. Finally,

In less than half an hour, the entire cavalry group successfully occupied the entire artillery regiment. At the same time, 54 Japanese artillery prisoners were also captured by Wang Hu.

The annihilation of the Japanese artillery regiment can be said to have gone very smoothly. However, the troops of the third division attacking the Japanese railway station did encounter a tough problem and encountered very great difficulties.

Although there was only one unsatisfied brigade defending the entire train station, due to the geographical location of the train station and the dozens of trains of important military materials inside the station, the Japanese army's defense at the station could be said to be very tight.

Countless light and dark firepower points, bunkers... At the same time, countless patrol teams were dispatched outside the train station. These patrol teams patrolled continuously, making it impossible for the soldiers of the third division to start.

Just when the artillery regiment started shelling, all the troops in the third division were lying at least 800 meters away from Xiaoguizi Railway Station. According to the pre-war tactics, after the artillery regiment started shelling, all the artillery troops in the third division were

After several indiscriminate shellings on the Japanese position in front of the soldiers, before the little Japanese could react on the position, they immediately launched a charge and occupied the Japanese position in one go...and then carried forward the spirit of fighting hard and slowly, slowly

They divided and surrounded the Japanese troops at the train station and eliminated them bit by bit.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Finally, the artillery regiment a few kilometers away opened fire. The two mortar companies following Li Yong also carried out indiscriminate shelling on the Japanese position in front of them. In order to attack

The two mortar companies bombarded the little Japanese for five minutes, hitting the small Japanese position in front of them with hundreds of shells.

"The First Commando...charge..." As the shelling ended, Li Yong, the commander-in-chief, calmly ordered. In an instant, the First Commando, who received the order, under the leadership of a battalion commander,

More than 300 people jumped up from the grass where they were hiding. At the same time, several machine gunners at the front of the commando also pulled the trigger, and dense bullets swept away the Japanese positions that had become ruins.

"Come on..." Under the cover of several machine guns, more than 300 soldiers screamed and rushed towards the little devil's position. And Li Yong and others just behind the commando team were really in a hurry at this time.

He clenched his fists tightly and stared at the Japanese position in front. Seeing the soldiers getting closer and closer to the Japanese position, everyone began to feel nervous.

"Da da da..." Just when the commando team rushed to a distance of less than 100 meters from the Japanese position, and everyone thought victory was within grasp, an accident happened, and countless tongues of fire spit out from the ruins of the position.

The commandos at the front were immediately knocked down one by one. Soon, the more than 300 soldiers of the first commando were beaten down by the dense rain of bullets to only half of their strength. The remaining people

They also lay down on the ground one after another and started shooting at the little devil opposite.

"Hey... little devil, you and I are at odds with each other..." Li Yong, who was lying on the ground, saw the tragic scene in front of him and punched the ground with his clenched fists.

"Order the artillery to cover and fire. Bugler, blow the trumpet immediately and let the troops retreat...quickly..." Li Yong ordered loudly. Soon, under the cover of artillery fire, the captain of the first commando team led the remaining

More than a hundred people retreated to their positions in embarrassment. At this moment, the firepower points on the Japanese positions also stopped firing at the same time.

"Captain, please punish me... I didn't react quickly enough and sacrificed so many soldiers. These soldiers were killed because of my command errors. Please shoot me," said the leader who had just returned to the position.

The battalion commander came to Li Yong with a sad face to plead guilty.

"Why are you crying... Are you still a soldier? Remember, as a soldier, you have to die on the battlefield... Tell me, you were closest to the Japanese position just now. Why did the Japanese army pass through such fierce artillery fire just now?

There are still so many firepower points left!" Li Yong asked loudly.

"Captain, we have been fooled. The Japs have built a lot of bunkers on the battlefield, and they are all cement bunkers that we rarely see in ordinary times. The mortars in our hands cannot do anything at all. The artillery fire just now can only

We have wiped out the troops on the surface of the Japanese positions, and now they have almost all shrunk into their turtle shells. Our mortars can't blow them up at all..." When mentioning the firepower points on the Japanese positions, the captain of the first commando team had a full face.

With an angry look on his face, he quickly reported what he knew about the situation.

"Okay, I understand, you go down first. Let the soldiers rest well and execute the order..." Li Yong said after listening to the commando captain's report.

"Captain Li, it seems that we have a tough nut to crack in front of us... I didn't expect that the little devil would build so many light and dark bunkers in this small train station... Commander Li, if you want to

To attack the train station, we must first deal with these bunkers..." Seeing the commando leader walking towards the rear, the commander of the second regiment of the third division next to him frowned and said.

At the same time, Li Yong, as the commander-in-chief, remained silent after hearing the words of the second regiment leader. He fell quietly into thinking. At this moment, the battle at this railway station also temporarily fell into silence.

"Damn, these little devils will stay in the turtle shell. It would be great if we could drive them out of the turtle shell. Once the mortars behind us explode, they will be finished..." Just as everyone was deep in thought

During the process, a guard behind Li Yong said to himself after knowing what happened.

"Yes, just drive the little devils out of their turtle shells... Correspondent, call the two artillery company commanders over immediately, quickly..." After listening to the words of the guard behind him, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

A smile appeared on Li Yong's lips and he ordered to the correspondent behind him.

After the two artillery company commanders arrived, they both had smiles on their faces after listening to Commander-in-Chief Li Yong's methods.

"Report to Captain Li, the artillery company promises to complete the task within ten minutes... Don't worry..." As soon as Li Yong finished speaking, the two company commanders expressed their stance impatiently, and then hurriedly

He ran towards his artillery position.

"Captain Li, what did you just say to them? Look at their mysterious smiles..." The Second Regiment Commander next to him asked curiously when he saw the two company commanders leaving with smiles on their faces.

"Haha, you will know after a while..." Li Yong said pretending to be mysterious.

In this way, amidst everyone's expectations, ten minutes passed quickly.

"Everything..." Just when everyone looked at Li Yong with questioning eyes, several dull sounds of artillery being ejected suddenly came from the artillery position behind everyone. Several artillery shells came from the artillery position with a whistling sound.

The soldiers flew over their heads and hit the little Japanese's position.

"Does the commander-in-chief want to use mortar shells to blow up the reinforced concrete bunkers of the Japs..." This was everyone's first reaction after hearing the sound of the artillery. However, as the shells fell on the Japs' positions, they

There was no explosion as the soldiers imagined. Instead, plumes of red smoke rose from the Japs' position.
