Devil's Army

While Yan Jing was at his master's wife's house, the excavation of the Wangjia Dagou gold mine continued. However, the miners were not digging gold for the devils this time, but for the army.

The First Army paid the miners three times the salary of the Japanese, and provided them with three meals a day.

The miners worked very hard, hoping to continue mining for the army.

The mined gold was temporarily piled up in an open space near the Diaobeishan Coal Mine, surrounded by wood and guarded by soldiers.

Leng Feng was going to build a smelter there to smelt gold and the copper ore that was about to be mined. However, there was no suitable person at the moment, so construction had not started yet.

The battle for the artillery tower on the small road in front of the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine started half a day later than the battle at the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine. And it was not as smooth as the battle at the gold mine.

There were not many Japanese soldiers in the artillery towers, with only 20 to 30 Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers in each tower. However, not far behind the artillery towers, there was a squadron of Japanese soldiers and more than 100 puppet soldiers stationed. There was a door behind the artillery towers that connected them. The more than 300 Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers could reinforce the artillery towers at any time through this door.

This caused great trouble to the First Battalion of the Second Regiment that was attacking the artillery tower.

The enemies defending the turret were difficult to defeat to begin with, but now it seemed as if they were endless.

"We can't fight like this. We have to blow up the artillery tower." said a company commander to a battalion commander.

"Blow up the artillery tower? That's easier said than done. The two artillery towers are providing crossfire cover, and there is no cover in front of the artillery towers. How many soldiers will be sacrificed to blow up the artillery towers?"

"Report to the battalion commander, the battle at Wangjiadagou Gold Mine is over, and they are cleaning up the battlefield."

"We are holding the troops back." said a battalion commander to a company commander.

"Captain, can I organize a few soldiers to blow up the artillery tower?"

This time the battalion commander did not refuse.

Four soldiers were holding explosives and waiting for orders in the trench.

"Go up," the company commander ordered.

The two soldiers performed tactical movements skillfully and in a standardized manner, rolling and jumping as they approached the artillery tower.

The Japanese bullets from the artillery tower kept shooting around the two soldiers, creating a dangerous situation.

But good luck could not stay with the soldiers of the First Army for long, and two soldiers were shot and killed one after another.

Two more soldiers rushed to the turret, but unfortunately died.

"Company commander, is the Japanese's artillery tower as hard as the iron shell of a tank?" asked the second platoon leader.

"You mean using a 40 rocket launcher?"

"Yes, it's better to waste more shells than to sacrifice our soldiers, right?"

"Yes, you can try it. Go and ask the battalion commander to transfer rocket launcher soldiers to assist." The company commander patted the second platoon leader on the shoulder happily as if he had discovered a new continent.

The second platoon leader ran out quickly to ask the battalion commander for help.

Soon, the fifteen soldiers of the rocket launcher squad, led by the squad leader, reported to the first company's position with five 40 rocket launchers and rockets.

"Aim at that firing hole and fire it for me." The company commander pointed to the firing hole on the second floor of the turret on the left and said to the rocket launcher squad leader.

The rocket launcher squad leader took action himself and aimed at the firing hole in the turret.

With a "whoosh" sound, a rocket flew out of the rocket launcher and rushed towards the Japanese artillery tower.

With a loud "boom", the rocket hit the firing hole on the second floor. A corner of the brick next to the firing hole was blown off, and the firing hole became several times larger.

The Japanese in the artillery tower were also confused, wondering what kind of artillery shell could be so accurate.

The sniper from the first company and several soldiers with more accurate shooting skills immediately shot at the enlarged shooting hole.

The Japanese behind the firing hole were knocked down, but they soon replenished. The firing hole on the second floor fired at the First Army again.

"One more shot," ordered a company commander.

After the soldiers helped the squad leader load the rocket, the squad leader aimed at the shooting hole on the second floor.

Another "whoosh" sound was heard, and this time the rocket went directly into the enlarged shooting hole, and then exploded with a "boom" in the turret.

The Japanese on the second floor were wiped out by this rocket.

"Fire a shot into the first floor."

The door of the turret on the first floor was so big that the squad leader did not open it himself, but asked a soldier next to him to do it.

At this time, two "boom" explosions were heard from the artillery tower on the right.

The two rockets hit the right wall of the first-floor artillery tower one after another.

A large corner of the turret collapsed after being blown off, and it swayed for a while before finally collapsing with a loud bang, raising a huge cloud of dust.

The rocket soldier on the left also accurately fired the rocket into the first floor of the left turret.

With a loud "boom", all the Japanese and puppet troops on the first floor were reduced to ashes.

The second platoon leader took the opportunity to lead his soldiers to rush towards the artillery tower.

The second platoon leader and his men rushed to within forty or fifty meters of the artillery tower. The Japanese reinforcements outside the artillery tower rushed in from behind and started shooting at them with machine guns.

The second platoon leader and his men were pinned to the ground, unable to move.

"One more shot." ordered the company commander.

The rocket soldiers who had been prepared fired another shot.

The rocket accurately penetrated into the first floor of the artillery tower.

After an explosion, there was no movement on the first floor of the Japanese artillery tower again.

The second platoon leader took the opportunity to rush into the artillery tower and fired fiercely at the Japanese who were preparing to reinforce the artillery tower from the rear.

The Japanese soldiers who were preparing to reinforce the blockhouse from behind were successfully stopped outside the blockhouse.
