Chapter 218: Wusong Artillery Battle

Next, with the cooperation of the heavy grenadiers, the 19th Route Army quickly regained its defense line and wiped out the remaining Japanese troops, and the city's battle was once again deadlocked.
The Japanese failed to achieve success in the urban area, so they tried to make a breakthrough at sea.
The more than 30 Japanese gunboats parked on the sea once again launched a fierce bombardment on the Wusong Fort. They hoped to kill every enemy on the fort and then let the Marines land to open up a new battlefield.
However, they had not accomplished this goal in their previous life, and with the Punishment Army coming in this life, it would be even more impossible for them to do it!
As early as 1 a.m., when the 19th Route Army agreed to allow the Punitive Army to enter the position, Li Qinwu sent 1000 Punitive Army soldiers into the position. As soon as they completed the work of taking over the artillery position, Li Qinwu opened a portal on the position, and a large number of bulldozers rushed out dragging prefabricated bunkers that had been cast in advance.
The Wusong Fort was plowed several times by the Japanese artillery shells like plowing the land. The position was densely packed with shell holes, and only one in ten of the original fort station trenches remained. The top priority was to dig anti-artillery fortifications as quickly as possible and set up new firing points.
This task must be completed before daybreak, otherwise the Japanese will start shelling the next day and the casualties of the Punishment Army will increase greatly.
The first batch to be pulled out of the portal were 1 machine gun bunkers. At first glance, this thing looked like a super-large egg with a crack in the egg, and a huge water-cooling sleeve of the Liao-made Maxim gun protruded from it.
This thing is not big, and can only hold a Liao-made Maxim, four 4-round ammunition belts, and a seat for a machine gunner.
The Egg Machine Gun Fortress is 2.5 meters long, 2 meters high and 2 meters wide. It is just an egg, but its armor thickness reaches a terrifying 500mm, which is half a meter thick!
Given this outrageous defensive strength, it would be impossible to destroy it unless the Japanese directly hit it with a 200mm or larger naval gun.
However, the correct way to use this thing is to dig a hole in the ground, bury the egg in the hole, and then fill the top of the egg with soil. Cover the soil as thickly as possible. The Japanese can only see the shooting port, and the artillery shell must hit the shooting port accurately to destroy it. You can imagine how difficult this is!
The punitive soldiers selected 15 machine gun positions, covering all angles of the shore.
After the machine gun bunker was pulled to the selected location, a bulldozer dug a small pit in a few strokes, pulled the egg-shaped machine gun bunker into the pit, and then dug soil to fill it up, burying it more than half a meter, leaving only the shooting port outside.
Several punitive soldiers collected branches and weeds from nearby, threw them in front of the muzzle of the machine gun bunker, and poured water on them. This not only served as a concealment, but also prevented the dust generated by shooting to a certain extent.
After that, when you have some free time, dig a passage under the machine gun bunker for the machine gunners to enter and exit, and the machine gun bunker is completed.
Now we can only let a sniper with night vision ability sit in there and be on guard in advance. To be honest, if we are buried underground and can't get out, even if we are very brave, we can't do it. Fortunately, everyone is a clone and will not abandon teammates, so the snipers will not have any psychological burden staying in the enclosed space.
The punitive army engineers had just finished setting up machine gun bunkers and were turning to set up artillery bunkers when the Japanese launched a landing operation at night.
In the morning, the Japanese and the defenders of Wusong Fort launched a large-scale artillery battle. The artillery and searchlights on the Wusong Fort were almost all destroyed. The Japanese seized this opportunity and planned to land at night.
More than 30 speedboats braved the wind and waves, stabbing towards the Wusong Fort like poisonous swords. They launched the speedboats from seven or eight kilometers away, and approached the shore within three kilometers, two kilometers, one kilometer, and then 900 meters, 700 meters, and 600 meters.
At this point, the Wusong Fort was still pitch black, and no firing point was firing. The Japanese soldiers who had landed were overjoyed, thinking that the defenders on the Wusong Fort had abandoned their position, and wanted to rush to the Wusong Fort in one go.
It’s a pity that the Japanese had no night vision. If they had, they would have seen hundreds of engineering vehicles digging fortifications on the dark Wusong Fort. This scene would definitely have scared the Japanese soldiers so much that they would turn around and run away.
The snipers stationed in the machine gun fortress had level seven vision and could see at night. They saw the Japanese landing craft from a distance and issued a warning to the construction vehicles in the rear.
The construction vehicles retreated immediately and lined up to drive into the portal. If the Japanese failed to land, they would definitely fire artillery. If the construction vehicles purchased from the USA with great difficulty were blown up, the loss would be huge.
Just as they completed the evacuation, the first Japanese speedboat arrived at the shore. The speedboat was packed with more than 1 Japanese Marine Corps infantrymen, almost the size of two squads.
This group of Japanese speedboats rushed directly to the Wusong Fort beach. Every Japanese soldier was ecstatic. After so many days of beach landing, they were the first group to land on the beach. This was the first achievement! Everyone would be rewarded when they returned!
And looking at the current situation, no one is firing on the Wusong Fort. The cowardly enemy must have been frightened by the artillery of the Imperial battleships and actually abandoned such an important position!
The Japanese jumped off the speedboat, pulled it ashore, and then launched a charge, hoping to rush to the position and set up a forward firepower point in one go.
In the heavy machine gun bunker on the Wusong Fort, several snipers looked coldly at the landing Japanese soldiers. They wanted to wait and attack after other speedboats approached, so that some speedboats would not have a chance to run back.
A few minutes later, half of the speedboats approached the shore. Finally, a heavy machine gun bunker opened fire first. The sniper used night vision to aim at a speedboat that was approaching the shore quickly and pulled the trigger directly.
Gunshots rang out, and more than two meters of gun flames exploded. A series of large-caliber bullets were fired at the speedboat, instantly tearing the Japanese on it into pieces!
The 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet is extremely powerful and can tear a hole as big as a fist in the wooden hull of a speedboat with one hit.
The sniper operated the heavy machine gun and fired more than 30 rounds at the speedboat, and the Japanese soldiers on the speedboat were beaten into a bloody mist. The machine gun bullets hit the hull of the speedboat, making rows of bullet holes, and wood chips flew everywhere. The whole speedboat was torn to pieces. After a while, the speedboat and the Japanese soldiers on it sank to the bottom of the sea, and only a pile of broken wood was floating on the sea.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, other machine gun positions also attacked. The snipers did not attack the Japanese soldiers who had come ashore. The shooters at other positions would take care of them. The snipers first concentrated their firepower on the speedboats that had not yet landed.
These speedboats are packed with a bunch of bad Japs, and there is sea water all around them. As long as we shoot a string of bullets at them, we can tear the Japs and the speedboats into pieces and send them into the sea!
