Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

Gaoda turned to look at the artillery commander Li Dazhu behind him and shouted:

"Dazhu, come here quickly, I have an important task for you."

When Li Dazhu heard Gaoda's call, he immediately ran over from the crowd.

"Captain, what do you want?"

Gundam pointed at the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp in the distance, especially the four blockhouses, and said:

"Dazhu, did you see that? Those Japanese blockhouses are the biggest obstacle for us to capture the prisoner-of-war camp. I want your artillery company to accurately destroy these four blockhouses."

"No problem, Captain. I'll make sure the mission is accomplished. I'll immediately arrange for the artillery to be ready for action."

After saying that, Li Dazhu turned and ran towards the artillery company.

He came to the artillery company's position and shouted, "Comrades, now is the time for us to demonstrate the power of our artillery! Immediately set up the cannons we carry and adjust the angles. We must use the most accurate shooting to destroy the Japanese blockhouses!"

After hearing Li Dazhu's order, the soldiers of the artillery company immediately took action.

They quickly pushed out the infantry guns and unloaded the heavy 120mm mortars on horseback for assembly.

In less than five minutes, the soldiers of the artillery company completed the preparation of all the cannons.

This time, they brought plenty of firepower, including six infantry guns and six 6mm mortars.

Gaoda was afraid that the mortars could not penetrate the Japanese blockhouses, so he specifically asked Li Dazhu to bring six infantry guns and prepare forty or fifty armor-piercing explosive bombs to ensure that the Japanese blockhouses could be completely destroyed.

When everything was ready, Li Dazhu gave the order to fire:

"fire!"

For a moment, there was the sound of cannons and the air was filled with smoke.

Twelve artillery shells whizzed towards the Japanese's four blockhouses with a strong sound of breaking wind.

Two or three seconds later, under the watchful eyes of all the soldiers of the county brigade, the Japanese's four blockhouses were hit by artillery shells from the artillery company, causing a deafening explosion.

The mortar shell hit the wall and produced a violent explosion, but the structure of the blockhouse was extremely strong and the shell failed to penetrate it.

Fortunately, this time they carried armor-piercing explosive bombs. The armor-piercing explosive bombs fired by the infantry guns directly penetrated the Japanese blockhouse, causing a violent explosion inside the blockhouse.

At this point, the Japanese soldiers in the blockhouse could no longer remain calm. They screamed in fear and fled in all directions.

As soon as the first round of attacks ended, the second round of attacks followed.

More than a dozen shells whizzed towards the blockhouse, and every explosion caused damage to the Japanese blockhouse.

After three or four rounds of fierce attacks, the four blockhouses of the Qingshan POW camp were finally completely blown down.

In the ruins of the blockhouse, smoke and dust billowed and flames shot into the sky.

The Japanese soldiers in the POW camp were completely awakened by the sudden explosion.

They rushed out of the barracks in panic, put on their clothes in a hurry, picked up their weapons and rushed out.

The Japanese squadron leader stationed in the prisoner-of-war camp, Saburo Koi, rushed out of the barracks in a hurry. The scene in front of him stunned him instantly.

The four originally sturdy blockhouses had now turned into ruins, with rubble and dust scattered everywhere.

He shuddered in his heart. With such a density of artillery fire, the enemy had dispatched an entire division to attack the prisoner-of-war camp.

Gundam, who was outside the POW camp, saw the blockhouse being blown down and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He immediately turned to Li Yunlong beside him and shouted, "Old Li, now is a good time to charge. Lead the soldiers to charge!"

After receiving the order, Li Yunlong turned to the bugler and said, "Bugler, blow the charge!"

The bugler quickly took the horn out of his pocket, took a deep breath, and blew the charge hard.

"Drip drip..."

As the charge sounded, Gaoda and Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the county brigade to launch a charge.

In the prisoner-of-war camp, Saburo Koi's face changed suddenly when he heard the familiar charge sound.

He quickly realized that it was the Eighth Route Army that was launching an attack.

"Oh no! The enemy has sounded the charge. It's the Eighth Route Army! Pass on my order and organize a team to resist immediately!"

As his order was given, the Japanese soldiers quickly ran towards the gate, ready to resist.

Koi Saburo immediately turned to the communicator next to him and shouted:

"Communicator, send a telegram to Heyuan County immediately! The Qingshan POW camp is under attack by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Request immediate support!"

After saying this, Saburo Koi immediately led a group of Japanese soldiers to the entrance of the POW camp to organize a defense line.

They hastily set up obstacles, trying to establish a line of defense before the Eighth Route Army arrived.

On the other side of the POW camp, the Japanese special forces were also awakened by the sudden artillery fire.

Mashiko Shigeo quickly woke up from his sleep.

He quickly gave the order and the special forces assembled immediately.

In less than five minutes, the special forces team had assembled.

Shigeo Mashiko stood in front of the team, looking at the thirty special forces soldiers in front of him.

"Warriors of the Empire, a large enemy force is attacking the prisoner-of-war camp. We must immediately support the defending forces and stop the enemy's attack!"

After saying this, Shigeo Mashiko led the special forces team and quickly ran towards the gate.

Outside the prisoner-of-war camp.

Gaoda led more than 1000 soldiers from the county brigade and rushed to a distance of only 100 meters from the Japanese gate.

Their figures moved quickly under the cover of darkness.

At the gate, the Japanese finally organized a line of defense.

About 50 meters away from the gate, the figures of the Japanese soldiers gradually became clear under the moonlight.

Almost at the same time, both sides discovered each other.

As soon as the two sides met, bullets poured out like a rainstorm.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Da da da……"

For a moment, gunshots rang out in front of the gate.

Seeing this, Gundam immediately shouted, "Machine gunners, fire at full force!"

Sixty light machine guns fired dense rain of bullets towards the Japanese defense line.

Under the powerful fire suppression, the Japanese soldiers on the defense line retracted their heads and dared not show them again.

Saburo Koi was at the gate of the prisoner-of-war camp. He was now extremely sure that the enemy before him must be the main division of the Eighth Route Army.

With such dense machine gun firepower, he really couldn't think of any other Eighth Route Army unit that could possess such powerful firepower except the main division of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese machine gunners also fought back through the firing holes on the wall, suppressing the county brigade with firepower.

At the rear of the battlefield, Li Dazhui at the artillery position saw that the Japanese had organized a defense line, so he immediately ordered the artillery to counterattack.

The artillerymen quickly adjusted the muzzles of their guns and aimed them at the Japanese defense lines and machine gun fire points.

The muzzle flames from the Japanese machine gun firing points were particularly conspicuous in the dark night, making them an excellent target for the artillery.

The soldiers of the artillery company took aim at the target and began bombarding it indiscriminately.

Amid the violent explosions, the Japanese machine gun fire points were destroyed one by one.

The Japanese defense line was also attacked by artillery.
