The Huting Stronghold, which had been destroyed by the Xin Yi Group, was recently repaired by the Japanese.
The strongholds controlled by the Japanese were usually on the road. Under normal circumstances, the Japanese would not give up.
In order to prevent the same thing from happening again, the Japanese had further strengthened the military strength of the Huting Stronghold this time. They stationed half of the infantry brigade and a fake army, a total of more than 2,000 people.
It became the largest military stronghold of the Japanese outside of Pingan County.
The newly renovated Huting Stronghold had also increased its firepower. There were also two infantry cannons inside for defense.
Such an important stronghold was naturally targeted by a new group.
This time, it was the synthetic battalion, and it was personally led by Ye Ming.
When the troops of the synthetic battalion appeared outside the Huting outpost, the Japanese in the Huting outpost immediately called for reinforcements.
However, in order to avoid being distracted by the Eighth Route Army, Huting Stronghold did not ask for help from the surrounding strongholds. Instead, they asked for help from Pingan County.
The commander of the city's garrison, Hirata Jiro, immediately ordered an infantry brigade and a puppet army to move out.
At this moment, when the weather was officially freezing, no one expected that the 8th Route Army would put on an offensive posture at this time.
The operation this time was a large-scale operation to besiege and attack reinforcements. At the same time, it was also an operation to destroy all the strongholds and turrets near Taihang Mountain in Pingan County. Therefore, the special assault team did not receive any combat missions and followed Ye Ming.
The synthetic battalion was an elite unit trained by the system's training card. They moved very quickly and quickly set up an offensive position in front of the entrance of Huting Stronghold.
At the same time, with the experience from the last time, the Japanese also built three defensive positions outside the Huting Stronghold. Together with the stronghold's walls, turrets, and a few machine gun bunkers, they formed a strong defensive firepower.
Moreover, the Japanese soldiers stationed at Huting were not arrogant. Although they saw that there were less than a thousand soldiers from the 8th Route Army outside, they still maintained a defensive posture and showed no signs of attacking.
This was also the result of Hirata Jiro's repeated strict orders. All strongholds were required to immediately ask for help once they encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army. It was strictly forbidden to take the initiative to attack.
The effect was obviously not bad.
Combined with the strength of a regiment of the puppet army, the Japanese in the stronghold also made a decent defense.
However, Ye Ming didn't even look at the Japanese's defensive position. With the Japanese's defensive structure, they wouldn't be able to withstand the heavy artillery attack at all.
"Pass down my order. In ten minutes, the Heavy Artillery Company will fire at will. At the same time, tell the Heavy Artillery Company that they can only fire one round per minute.”
Ye Ming crouched in the trenches and gave the order to fire.
It was not difficult for the synthetic battalion to capture the Huting outpost, but it was not their goal.
This time, the synthetic battalion needed to put enough pressure on Huting Stronghold, but they couldn't take it down all at once. They needed to let the Japanese continue to provide support, then surround the stronghold to attack the reinforcements and eliminate the Japanese as much as possible.
When the Japanese's forces were severely depleted, the new regiment would naturally be able to easily wipe out all the Japanese forces in this area.
Hence, the entire new regiment had already started moving. All the battalions were already lying in ambush on the path that the Japanese would have to pass through.
"After the bombardment, the four of you will be tasked with taking out all of the Japanese's heavy and light firepower points.”Ye Ming then used the radio to contact the two sniper teams of the special assault team.
The equipment worn by the Special Assault Team all had a single radio, allowing Ye Ming to command the actions of every member at any time and anywhere.
Two sniper teams and four Type-88 sniper rifles were enough to completely silence the Japanese light and heavy machine guns.
Moreover, the four brothers also had extremely high talent in sniping. Coupled with Ye Ming's teachings, not only were their marksmanship superb, but their various sniping tactics had also reached the point of perfection.
Within 2,000 meters, each of the four brothers could hit wherever they pointed. Their accuracy was also extremely high.
However, due to the effective range of the Type 88 sniper rifle, their attack range was generally within 1,500 meters.
The silence on the battlefield was soon broken by the whistling shells.
Under the surveillance of the heavy artillery company, the two infantry cannons and mortars in the Japanese stronghold were immediately bombarded.
The two grenades landed accurately on the Japanese's stronghold and destroyed the Japanese's cannons.
Immediately after, other shells also landed on the defensive position of the Japanese stronghold. Ye Ming was speechless when he saw this.
The two Japanese machine gun bunkers turned into two craters that were more than ten meters wide after being hit by the accurate artillery shells.
The two turrets that were connected to the wall had also been destroyed, and the wall had completely collapsed.
"Stop firing immediately!"
Ye Ming had no choice but to give the order to stop the bombardment.
The precision of modern artillery and the terrifying lethality of cannonballs were simply bullying.
After a few more rounds of bombardment, the Japanese in Huting would be wiped out.
In fact, this round of bombardment had also made all the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the stronghold instantly tremble in fear.
After all, there were only a few solid fortifications in the entire stronghold. They were all destroyed by a round of artillery fire. In addition, the mortars and infantry cannons were also destroyed. What was the point of fighting?
Fortunately, the cannon fire came and went quickly. The terrifying cannonballs did not continue to fall.
In fact, if the heavy artillery continued to fire, the modern howitzers could easily destroy the trenches built by the Japanese.
A 155mm howitzer could blast open a crater with a diameter of 40 meters and a depth of nearly two meters. It could directly flatten an entire trench.
The so-called trenches were no different washi under such artillery attacks.
Even if the craters could be used as cover, how many people would be able to survive and hide in the craters after the bombardment?
Moreover, if the Heavy Cannon Company launched a full-scale bombardment, they could release 72 rounds in a minute. The entire Tiger Pavilion outpost could be razed to the ground.
That was why Ye Ming immediately ordered to stop the bombardment. If they continued to attack, the surrounding area would be gone.
