Chapter 615 Feint and Main Attack
Looking at the flames trailed by the shells in the night sky and listening to the sharp sounds of the shells cutting through the air, the puppet army artillerymen were so scared that they shouted and cursed.
"Cannonballs! Take cover!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Four shells exploded in the puppet army's artillery unit.
One of the missiles landed not far from a mortar, directly blowing away four puppet soldiers next to the mortar.
Many other puppet soldiers were also killed or injured in the explosion.
Before the puppet troops could get up.
The second round of shells...the third round of shells flew over one after another.
Three rounds of bombing with 12 shells instantly wiped out the entire artillery platoon of puppet troops.
Jack looked through the remaining flames on the battlefield and saw the puppet army's artillery being destroyed, and he burst into laughter.
"Well done! The artillery has been captured. Keep firing at the puppet army positions. Keep firing!"...
The bombing was in full swing here, but the puppet army headquarters and the Japanese army headquarters were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.
"Damn it! They finally attacked us! Notify the 75th field artillery to provide artillery support!"
Notify all troops to prepare for battle!
Soon, the Japanese 75 field artillery fired in the direction of Du Dafeng in front.
However, the Japanese field artillery was in the rear after all, and the Japanese artillery scouts had not yet reached the front position.
The person who provided them with the coordinates was the puppet army battalion commander on the position.
The puppet army battalion commander had no way of seeing the exact location of the artillery hidden in the jungle, and could only give a rough estimate of the coordinates.
The Japanese 75th Field Artillery did not bomb Du Dafeng.
Du Dafeng and Jack's artillery were still bombarding frantically ahead.
At the same time, Hamigu and his men went back to the opposite side of the county town and sneaked in quietly.
Yuan Shuai led his men to quickly infiltrate from the left wing.
Myitkyina is not China, and the county town does not have strong city walls.
The Japanese used trees and barbed wire to set up many obstacles such as barricades and barbed wire around the county town.
During the three days of truce, General Yuan had already figured out the troop deployment and firepower distribution of all the Japanese devils.
Because the Japanese's main defense was at the artillery, there were very few puppet troops on both wings, or even no Japanese soldiers at all.
There was only one reinforced platoon of more than fifty puppet troops.
A mobile squad of puppet soldiers would patrol every half hour.
The other puppet army squads stayed inside the barricade, setting up light and heavy machine guns.
There were only three barricades, one in the middle and one on each wing.
There are three watchtowers, one in the middle and one on each wing.
There are searchlights on the watchtowers!
Three searchlights were moving back and forth constantly, sweeping the target.
However, because the puppet army's position was attacked by so much artillery fire, many puppet soldiers were immediately attracted. Almost all of them stood up and looked in the direction of the artillery explosion, muttering constantly.
"Damn, with so many people running around, there must be at least an artillery regiment!"
"Don't worry, we still have the Japanese 75mm field guns!"
"The 75mm field gun is firing, there must be no problem!"
"Fortunately, we stayed here and didn't go over there, otherwise, all of us brothers would have become cannon fodder!"
As they were talking, Yuan Shuai and the others were already more than 300 meters away from them.
In order to attack the county town, General Yuan asked Hamigua for the twelve British soldiers who had followed him before. Together with the six brothers of their Black Wolf Army, there were only eighteen brothers in total.
The team was divided into three groups, each with six brothers, two Black Wolf soldiers and four British soldiers, all of them were about 300 meters away from the puppet army barricade.
Yuan Shuai and his men were in the middle position.
Seeing that the troops on both wings were already in place, he quickly asked two British machine gunners to get ready, and asked Xiao Digua to get one British soldier ready with a grenade launcher to aim at the Japanese barricade. The remaining British soldier aimed a machine gun at the searchlight.
And he aimed his rifle at the searchlight.
"Bah!"
As his right index finger pulled the trigger, a bullet whizzed up and directly shattered the searchlight.
The British machine gunner opened fire quickly, killing two puppet soldiers next to the searchlight on the watchtower.
Then, two British machine gunners opened fire! The bullets whizzed towards the puppet patrol squad passing through the middle.
All three grenade launchers fired, and three grenades flew towards the barricade.
Little Sweet Potato's grenade flew directly into the barricade and exploded.
All the puppet soldiers in the barricade were killed instantly.
Two grenades landed and exploded next to the barricade.
Those puppet army patrolmen who were not killed by machine gun bullets were also killed by grenade launchers.
The moment the gunshots rang out, Hu Dacai, Fu Yidao and others on both wings also opened fire, following the fighting style of Yuan Shuai's side, using rifles to take out the searchlights, using grenade launchers to bomb, and using machine guns to shoot.
Soon, the three groups killed the puppet soldiers in front, crossed the obstacles, rushed into the barricade, and quickly gathered together.
"Keep charging! If you encounter puppet soldiers or devils, don't panic, just follow my orders!"
The sound here was soon heard by the puppet army, the Japanese and the puppet troops.
The Japanese captain quickly picked up the telescope and looked over here.
Although it was a pity, the Japanese captain was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed when he saw that the searchlight on the distant watchtower was gone.
"Damn it! The Chinese are cunning, the British army is cunning. Their frontal attack is a feint, and the main attack is on the right wing. Notify the puppet army to go over quickly and kill them! Notify the team to prepare for defense to prevent their decapitation operation!"
After the order was issued, the puppet army headquarters in front quickly transferred all its troops to the right wing, hoping to intercept.
The Japanese headquarters is also ready to fight.
However, Yuan Shuai and others did not go directly to the Japanese base camp, but went directly to the Japanese artillery camp.
At this time, the artillery was using 75 field guns to provide artillery support to the front.
All the artillery was busy.
In order to ensure that the artillery shells hit the target accurately, the Japanese also sent an artillery reconnaissance team to conduct reconnaissance at the puppet army positions in front.
All the Japanese soldiers were facing the direction of the puppet army's positions, and no one noticed the movements in the rear and on the wings.
Moreover, it was dark and they couldn't see very far.
But there are still three watchtowers here in the Japanese artillery camp.
There were two Japanese soldiers on each of the three watchtowers.
Unfortunately, the Japanese were too careless and did not install a searchlight on the watchtower, so there was only a sentry on guard.
Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, Yuan Shuai and others still divided their troops into three groups, each of which arranged three people to quietly climb up the watchtower and kill the two Japanese soldiers on the watchtower with bayonets.
Afterwards, one soldier raised his rifle and two soldiers raised their machine guns, aiming at the Japanese soldiers on the artillery position below.
Yuan Shuai has also climbed up to the middle watchtower, loaded a rifle, and pulled the bolt.
Seeing that the two watchtowers on the left and right had been taken down and ready, Yuan Shuai pulled the trigger.
The bullet whizzed towards the Japanese artillery captain.
A bullet pierced the back of the Japanese artillery captain.
Gunshots rang out, and six machine guns and three rifles on three watchtowers opened fire rapidly.
The men on the ground were also firing rapidly.
For a moment, all the bullets went towards the devil's back.
Before the Japanese artillerymen could react, they fell into a pool of blood.
