Chapter 620: General Attack on the East Camp
So far, the entire Guangxi Gang's sneak attack on Songjiafang Wharf has been defeated in three attempts.
The left army was commanded by the second leader, Weng Tongqing. The peripheral attack was very successful for a time, but it was an outright trap. The peripheral positions were targeted by the Blood Wolf, and a burst of artillery fire routed them to a complete defeat. Only forty or fifty people were left.
.
There are more than 200 people in the right route army under the command of Master Ye. He is responsible for attacking the warehouse of Fengzhong Songjiafang base. This is currently the luckiest route.
The warehouse defenders are guarded by a security platoon and two militia platoons. They are surrounded by masonry steel frame bunkers and permanent fortifications. The fortifications are fully equipped with light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
However, the Right Army did not have mortars, grenade launchers and other offensive weapons in hand. It organized several attacks on the fortified warehouses, but found nothing except dozens of corpses.
In Song Menqing's original battle plan, he did not ask for the right army to capture the warehouse in one fell swoop. Instead, he asked Master Ye to surround it to prevent the defenders from reinforcing the headquarters compound and disrupting his center army's decapitation operation.
After he succeeded in beheading him in the headquarters compound, it would not be too late for the two armies to unite and concentrate their firepower to attack the base warehouse.
Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly. Seeing that the Central Army under Song Menqing's command was almost completely wiped out, all the survivors, including Song Menqing, gave up resistance and squatted on the spot with a look of dejection.
Master Ye saw that the situation was over and the Thirty-Six Stratagem was the best one. He led more than a hundred Guangxi soldiers and quietly retreated to the military camp in the northern suburbs to preserve their strength.
Everyone has ambitions in the world of martial arts. Master Ye certainly cannot be buried with Song Menqing or Lu Wenhu. Taking this opportunity, he can also strive for a certain degree of strength for himself in the world of Pingxiang in the future.
However, the return of the second boss, Weng Tongqing, made him never expect that there would be another internal struggle for power. It depends on how the Japanese Kimura handles it.
Of course, this is all for later.
…
At the same time when Guangxi Gang Song Menqing mobilized in full force to attack Songjiafang Wharf Base, Ji Chunsheng surrounded and annihilated the East Camp of the Tiger Gang, which was the last fortress Lu Wenhu held, and the battle was in progress.
Speaking of Lu Wenhu, when he saw that his Dongda camp was surrounded, he could only wait for help. He took out boxes and boxes of silver from his private vault and distributed them to more than 300 people including his cronies and guards. Then he also
He said some encouraging words.
After the distribution was completed, he could only resign himself to his fate and dive into his inner room with an iron stove.
Now, he needs to relieve his stress.
The huge pressure almost drove him crazy. After he dragged the two women into the tent, he began to release the pressure eagerly.
At dawn, Fellai personally escorted four cannons over. After the butcher's team cleared the battlefields of the left camp and the front camp, they all ran over in pieces and gathered around Ji Chunsheng.
Now, four 75mm field guns are in place, and there are more than a dozen mortars, which is enough offensive firepower.
"How is it? Are there any casualties in the team?" Ji Chunsheng is currently most concerned about this issue.
"There were no major casualties in the assault force. Three people were killed, twelve were injured, and two were injured in the arms." The butcher replied.
"Okay, as long as there are no serious casualties." Ji Chunsheng felt a stone fall in his heart. He turned to Felai on the left and said:
"Fele, you have a lot of artillery prisoners. Let them make atonement for their crimes. You are responsible for organizing field artillery and mortars to cover the entire Dongda Camp with artillery fire. Don't worry about the artillery shells. Give me a hard bombardment."
"As commanded, take a seat..."
Fellay took the order to organize his artillery team, mainly to ask the warehouse to move more artillery shells.
Speaking of which, Lu Wenhu was quite unlucky. The cannons and thousands of artillery shells he managed to acquire at the cost of two small coal mines, before they were even unpacked, became the trophies of others, and in turn bombed him.
Then, Ji Chunsheng summoned the butcher and other officers to his side, and he ordered:
"Okay, the next step is the general attack. After Felai covers the East Camp with artillery fire for fifteen minutes, I and the Butcher will each lead a team and divide it into two directions to attack inward."
"The frontal artillery team and the two heavy machine gun squads are left under the command of Fele. They have only one purpose, which is to eliminate the surrounding guards. Pay attention to your own safety and see if there are any problems!"
"No problem..." everyone answered in unison.
"Okay, now start preparing separately. After the artillery fire is extended, the general attack will begin."
After the order was issued, Ji Chunsheng and others led the troops in two directions, left and right, except for the front, and quickly moved to the offensive position, waiting for the final attack order.
At this time, the sky was bright and foggy, and the field of vision was not good, which affected the artillery's calculation of distance. However, when firing at a distance of less than 300 meters, it did not require much calculation, and a rough estimate was about the same.
Moreover, in order to prevent others from getting too close and to keep warm, these gangsters lit several bonfires in Dongda Camp, which allowed the attackers to clearly see the situation around Dongda Camp.
The artillery team finished adjusting, and with an order, the bombardment began.
"boom…"
"Boom boom..."
"..."
The artillery shells dragged long tail flames and flew one after another towards Dongda Camp, where there was a sudden burst of flames and thick smoke billowing into the sky.
However, what Ji Chunsheng and the others did not expect was that Lu Wenhu had dug underground fortifications in Dongdaying as early as half a year ago. The shelling started here, and the gangsters quickly moved into the underground fortifications. The artillery fire destroyed the houses on the ground, as well as
Some less solid surface fortifications.
Fifteen minutes of fierce bombardment, four field guns plus a dozen mortars, the power should not be underestimated. By the time the artillery fire extended, a total of 140 or 50 shells were dumped, the intensity was sufficient.
The defenders and bandits suffered many casualties, and all the heavy machine gun fortifications and artillery positions were destroyed. In particular, many soldiers were injured by the flying waves of artillery shells. These people suddenly lost their combat effectiveness.
"Clean up the surrounding area and the back, and start attacking!"
"Come on!"
"Fight in and capture the mountain tiger alive!"
"..."
The general attack began, the morale of the attackers was at its peak, and everyone moved forward with howls.
"The sound of a divine horse..."
The sudden and powerful explosion of the shell shocked Lu Wenhu, who was still tossing the woman on the bed in the back room.
After exclaiming in surprise, he immediately jumped up from the woman's body, like a frightened bird, worried that a cannonball would accidentally fall and kill him.
Guards were standing around him, as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
These people are his personal soldiers, here to help him take bullets. After all, the underground fortifications are not very reliable.
