Chapter 117 Devil's Fortress
Don't worry, explain the reconnaissance situation clearly." Ma Yuanfang smiled and took the water.
The reconnaissance team member gulped a few times, wiped his mouth, and said, "We didn't go too far. After we found a suitable target, we came back. A new logging farm was built near Wanshi Township. There were only more than 30 imperial military guards and their defense was not tight. I think it was quite suitable."
"Where are the enemies around?" Ma Yuanfang asked, "How many enemies are there nearest? How long will it take to come to reinforce?"
"The closest one is the enemy of Wanshi Township." The scout team continued: "There are more than a dozen Japanese, fifty or sixty Imperial Army soldiers. If you run, it should be more than an hour to reach."
"That's right!" Ma Yuanfang thought for a moment, looked up at Zhao Sihai, and saw the same opinion in his eyes.
"Do it!" Zhao Sihai waved his hand suddenly, "Let me lead a team to clean up the enemies in the logging field. Brother Ma will block the reinforcements for me and ensure that this group of rotten persimmons will be eliminated within an hour."
"Okay, let's take this group of Imperial Army to make a tooth sacrifice first." Ma Yuanfang laughed, "Call several cadres over, let's discuss carefully to see if we can get another one from the reinforcements of the enemy."
When the Japanese army invaded China in history, due to limited troops, the main forces were basically stationed in large counties or cities. Almost a few Japanese soldiers were stationed with puppet troops in rural areas. This is also a factor in the survival and growth of anti-Japanese forces led by GCD in the vast rural areas.
At night, there are no stars or moons in the sky, it is so depressed that it is about to press over the head. The shadows of trees and buildings in the distance are still moving, like monsters posing.
When the guerrillas were about to take action against the Imperial Army, Wu Ming led a few people to the Xiaolizhuang stronghold not far from the county town, and carefully observed the stronghold.
On a wide high ground in the distance, the heyday of the Japanese artillery tower stood alone, and the searchlights were swaying back and forth. The bright lights did not let go of the slightest suspicious signs in the darkness.
"It's too far." Wang Ying lay on the ground and whispered to Wu Ming: "The grenade launcher cannot be hit, and the surrounding obstacles have been shoveled off by the Japanese. It may be dangerous to risk getting close. Killing with a sniper rifle, the Japanese hide in the turtle shell, may not be very effective."
"Yeah." Wu Ming nodded slightly and pointed to the artillery tower in the distance, "Did you find that the Japanese artillery tower is built on a high place, and there are no deep trenches on the periphery, and it is only surrounded by barbed wire, and it is not tight. I just saw a hole in the place I passed by."
"You, you want to use a dog." Liu Hua, who was next to him, turned his head tentatively and asked.
"It's just an idea." Wu Ming smiled faintly, and moved his body backwards, "Go back and talk to Wang Gui to see if there is any possibility of success."
Wang Gui looked at the artillery tower in the distance and said with some embarrassment: "The artillery tower is on a high place, run over here. It's probably more than two miles away. Before the dog could run to the place, he was killed by the Japanese machine gun."
"I didn't say I'm going to force the dog, right?" Wu Ming asked with some surprise, "If I turn off the searchlight on the other side and the Japanese's attention is attracted, wouldn't they have a chance?"
"Besides, we don't have to take down this artillery tower. If we don't have a chance, we can just withdraw it." Wu Ming continued.
"Then try it!" Wang Ying nodded, "As you said, you can't beat me, just leave, there will be no loss anyway."
"Okay!" Wang Gui nodded reluctantly, "If I feel unsure, I won't let go of the dog, and this one is the only one left."
"Okay, it's up to you." Wu Ming patted Wang Gui's shoulder encouragingly, "No. 10, No. 12, stay number, help tie explosives. I will go there with No. 6, No. 7 and I will cut the lights first."
There was silence all around. The Japanese invaders yawned, lit a cigarette, shook their sleepy head, took a deep breath, and as the smoke filled the Japanese ronin's sleepiness gradually disappeared.
Wang Ying moved her muzzle again, and her eyes leaned against the scope and aimed carefully.
"Aren't you sure?" Wu Ming asked in a low voice, her movements had been repeated several times.
"Yes." Wang Ying agreed, aiming and said, "I'm really not sure if I hit the starter."
"It's a thousand meters long, and it's no big deal if you can't hit the starter. Just practice more in the future. The sharpshooters are fed with bullets, and there's no shortcuts." Wu Ming nodded slightly and comforted: "You can use the searchlight with No. 7. I'll hit that Japanese man. If you can't hit it, I'll still have me!"
"Okay!" Liu Hua crawled to the side, finding the right angle.
A gunshot of "Bang!" cut through the quiet night. The Japanese devils were shocked, and the cigarette in their mouth fell down, and they slowly leaned to the side.
"Bang" "Bang", Wang Ying and Liu Hua's guns also rang, and the searchlight clattered, the light disappeared, and a darkness fell into front of the artillery tower.
In a very short time, the Japanese in the artillery tower reacted and fired outwards through the shooting port while firing two flares outside.
A dozen Japanese men rushed out of the cannon with guns, howling and firing wildly. "Bang!" Wu Ming fired a shot with the light of the flares, and a Japanese man holding a machine gun fell to the ground.
"Bang" "Bang" Wang Ying and Liu Hua were also shooting at the Japanese rushing out from their own positions.
The barrel of the Type 38 rifle is long, and there is almost no flame when shooting at night. If you lie in a dark corner and shoot, it is difficult to find the specific location of the shooter except for gunfire. The Japanese can only judge the approximate direction of the shooter from the corpse that fell to the ground. It is very difficult to find the exact location of Wu Ming and others.
As the flares were extinguished, Wu Ming and others also stopped shooting and changed positions in the darkness.
Two more flares flew towards Wu Ming and others. The light cut through the darkness, and the machine guns in the artillery tower were firing frantically at the suspicious target.
Wu Ming and others were wearing white cloaks and lay on the ground, motionless, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
Wu Ming aimed the gun at the firing port that was spewing out of flames. As the flares were extinguished, he pulled the machine. The Japanese machine gun stopped. He pushed the bullet and continued to shoot accurately at other places where the flames were shining.
