Chapter 63: Attack on the Prisoner of War Camp
"boom!"
Everyone in the POW camp looked in the direction of the explosion, but saw that the sentry tower to the right of the gate had collapsed in flames.
Several Japanese machine gunners were blown away with their guns.
"not good!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The Japanese reacted extremely quickly. After realizing something was wrong, they all ran towards the wall.
Only a small number of devils were left to maintain order in the yard.
"boom!"
At this moment, the sentry tower on the left side of the gate also collapsed.
"Mengzi, do it!"
In the chaos, the monk realized this was a great opportunity.
After calling out to Hou Meng, he leaped forward and pressed his right knee hard on Fujiwara Ichiro's neck.
“Crack!”
After a crisp sound of bones breaking, the old Japanese's neck twisted and he died instantly.
The monk pulled out the pistol from Fujiwara Ichiro's waist and fired several shots at several Japanese agents around him.
Hou Meng picked up a submachine gun dropped by a Japanese agent and fired a burst of shots.
Then he shouted again: "Brothers, fight these damn devils!"
The other prisoners of war did not want to sit and wait for death. The actions of Heshang and Hou Meng gave them great courage, and they roared and rushed towards the nearby Japanese soldiers.
The entire prisoner-of-war camp suddenly fell into chaos.
…
On the other side, Yang Lin had led his troops to a position less than 300 meters away from the gate of the prisoner-of-war camp.
There is an open space ahead. Although there are some rocks that can be used as cover, it is impossible to conceal the whereabouts of the large force.
"Machine gunner, suppress the fire, and the rest of you, follow me!"
At Yang Lin's command, more than a dozen machine gunners immediately set up their Czech light machine guns and opened fire.
"Da da da!"
“Da da da da!——”
Gunshots rang out, and dense bullets suddenly poured forward like a torrential rain, covering the prisoner-of-war camp walls built of bricks, stones and rammed earth, causing smoke and dust to rise, and gravel and dirt to fall down.
Several Japanese soldiers who had just rushed up the wall and had no time to dodge were hit by several bullets. They only left a last word of "ah" and fell off the wall, dying on the spot.
After Fujiwara Ichiro was killed by a monk, Yagyu Hideyoshi became the supreme commander of the prisoner-of-war camp.
He organized people to fight back while also organizing people to suppress the riots.
Compared with the independent camps outside, the problems inside the prisoner-of-war camps are obviously much easier to solve.
After all, except for some prisoners of war who snatched some guns, most of the others had no weapons.
Under the fire of the Japanese machine guns and submachine guns, a large number of them soon fell down.
"Return to the holding room!"
Heshang and Hou Meng launched several breakout attempts, but were suppressed each time and had no choice but to lead their troops back to the detention room.
"Let's fight these damn devils!"
Some prisoners of war had long been fed up with such a life. They ignored the orders of the monk and Hou Meng, and no matter how they scolded them, it was of no use.
Unfortunately , many things cannot be accomplished with just passion. Before they could reach the wall, they were knocked to the ground by the dense rain of bullets.
…
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two more loud noises were heard.
The other two sentry towers in the Japanese POW camp were also turned into fireballs under the bombardment of the artillery company. However, due to the fear of accidentally injuring the prisoners inside, only Zhao Yuting served as the main gunner.
In this way, firing 4 shots in a row still wasted some time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Japanese soldiers in the two watchtowers brought out several light machine guns.
Under the command of Hideyoshi Yagyu, these Japanese machine gunners came to the front of the wall. They set up their machine guns and pulled the trigger at the soldiers of the guard battalion who were rushing towards them.
"Da da da!"
“Da da da da!——”
“Pah, pah, pah, pah!——”
Although the soldiers of the first company and the guard platoon charged in a long skirmish line, under the intensive fire of the Japanese, more than a dozen people were killed or injured and fell to the ground screaming.
"Hide, hide!"
Under the command of the company commander Ma Gan, the soldiers immediately looked for nearby cover to hide, or simply lay down on the spot.
"Damn it, there's even a machine gunner!"
Yang Lin dodged the oncoming rain of bullets and then fired a shot with his backhand.
"Snapped!"
Although this Japanese machine gunner hid behind the parapet of the wall with only half of his head exposed, he was still shot dead by Yang Lin.
The bullet went out from his face, blowing off his skull and helmet.
Blood and brain matter, red and white, splattered everywhere.
"Ding! System prompt, congratulations to the host, you have killed an enemy machine gunner, merit points +10, experience points +10..."
Yang Lin ignored the system prompt, turned the gun around and continued to pull the trigger.
At a distance of less than 300 meters, Yang Lin hardly needed to aim deliberately, and soon three more Japanese machine gunners were killed one after another.
But soon, other Japanese soldiers came to fill the position.
It is impossible for the independent battalion to organize a charge.
"Damn it!"
Just sniping the Japanese machine gunners is obviously a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. After all, there is only one sharpshooter, Yang Lin, and it is difficult for him to suppress all the Japanese machine guns.
If they stopped and engaged in a firefight with the Japanese at this distance, the current independent battalion would be no match for the Japanese.
The difference in shooting skills is too big!
If we want to solve the threat of machine guns to us once and for all, we have to destroy the Japanese machine guns.
After Yang Lin cursed angrily, he turned around and shouted to Ma Gan who was not far away: "First Company Commander, get your grenade launchers ready, and take down the enemy's machine gun position for me!"
"But……"
Ma Gan hesitated and said, "But the brothers' artillery skills are not very accurate. What if they accidentally hurt the prisoners inside?"
Yang Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I can't care about so much anymore. We must eliminate the remaining machine gun firepower of the Japanese. They are too threatening to our army.
As for the prisoners inside, I think they will find a place to hide by themselves."
"yes!"
Ma Gan responded with a roar, and then turned around and shouted, "Grenade launcher, ready!"
Soon, 10 grenade launchers were set up.
"Rapid fire, three rounds, fire!"
Upon receiving the order, 10 grenadiers each picked up a yellow-orange shell and stuffed it into the muzzle of the gun, then turned sideways and covered their ears.
"Bang!"
“Boom boom boom!—”
After three rounds of rapid firing, the entire front gate of the Japanese POW camp turned into a sea of fire. Although most of the shells fell in front of the wall or inside the POW camp, two or three shells fell on the wall and engulfed the surrounding Japanese soldiers.
"Ugh!"
“Ah!—”
Suddenly, screams were heard one after another. Some Japanese soldiers were torn to pieces by the shock wave of the explosion, and bloody limbs and arms were scattered everywhere.
