Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

In the direction of Baozidong, Xu Le also turned off the kill prompts of the guard team, but he would still check the balance of military merit points from time to time, after all, they are the big ones.

After purchasing 'Equal Treatment', there are only military merit points left, which has now climbed to 18, which is equivalent to an increase of 15 in the battle in the mountain village, most of which is due to the credit of the guard team.

It’s not that the soldiers in the army killed few people, but the big heads with high rewards were snatched away by the guards. Killing 100 ordinary Japanese soldiers was equivalent to one guard killing a Japanese squad leader.

When the battle in the mountain village was nearing its end, the Japanese in the fort cave also took action.

The Japanese mainly focus on the mountain villages. If the progress in the mountain villages goes smoothly, Baozidong will increase the pressure on the 176th Division in the form of auxiliary attacks.

However, Yamamura's 114th Division and other units failed and suffered heavy losses. Numata Tokushige had no choice but to set the target of the attack to Baozidong in order to open a breakthrough on the side.

Although the Japanese troops surrounded this time included security regiments, gendarmerie, and small units under other divisions, he had the highest military rank, so he was also the commander-in-chief and could indirectly command the rest of the troops.

"Captain, the devils can't hold back any longer, the infantry has begun to attack!"

Liu Quanhua had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and hurriedly picked up the telescope to watch: "Great, these bastards have finally come up, notify them to prepare for the battle, the old rules, sneak up on them first. Except for the accurate shooter, the others should not show their heads easily!"

Neither Jiang Feng nor Xu Le had come up with a specific combat plan, but the various regiments were in sync and all resorted to underhanded tactics.

You can charge at me, Japanese. I won't even open fire to intercept you. I will wait for you to reach a distance of 1000 meters first, and then report the coordinates to the artillery.

As for your mortar, forget it. If you can’t establish a position within 2000 meters, I lose!

The Japanese normally did not fight by swarming forward like ants, but by spreading out in small teams over a range, advancing in an organized manner with light machine guns and infantry taking turns, and supported by the squad's grenade launchers.

This kind of combat method and firepower can defeat the Tang Dynasty army.

Unfortunately, the squad was just large enough to fight under the sheer firepower and precision bombardment of the 176th Division.

The direct explosion killing radius of an M1 mortar's 81mm high-explosive grenade exceeds 10 meters, and the fragmentation killing radius reaches 25 meters. If such a grenade falls in the middle of the Japanese squad, it will almost result in the annihilation of the entire team.

"Don't move, don't move, this bastard car is mine!"

Liu Quanhua pointed at the Japanese armored vehicles in the distance and shouted.

Because the Japanese focused their main attack direction on the mountain village, artillery, armored vehicles, etc. were transferred there.

There were only two armored vehicles left by the Japanese opposite the fortress cave, which were usually used to maintain public order. Although they were called armored vehicles, they were actually just ordinary vehicles with a very thin layer of steel plate added to the outside. The thickest part was only 6 mm.

Although the M16 automatic rifle has a fast firing rate, its caliber is too small and it uses ordinary bullets, so it cannot penetrate at close range.

The MG42 machine gun is much more powerful and can penetrate the armor of Japanese armored vehicles within a distance of 100 meters.

It's rare to have two of them, so Liu Quanhua, who is bored with fighting, must do it himself. However, he will not use a machine gun to shoot, but a mortar!

"let me!"

Liu Quanhua came to the mortar platoon of the 2nd Company and grabbed control of a mortar without saying a word. He then picked up the telescope to look at the armored vehicle in the distance, and then stretched out his thumb to measure the distance. After repeating this several times, he finally stopped, adjusted the shooting angle, and then picked up a grenade and put it into the barrel.

Dong.....

The grenade fuse is ignited, generating high temperature and high pressure inside the barrel, instantly pushing the shell out, making a sound similar to a stone falling from a high place into a pool of water.

About 10 seconds later, the grenade exploded about ten meters in front of a Japanese armored vehicle.

"Huh...."

"cut...."

.....

The crowd of onlookers booed, making Liu Quanhua extremely embarrassed.

"What are you arguing about? What are you doing? Do you have nothing to do? The Japanese are coming over here, why are you joining in the fun instead of defending your own position? Come and fight if you have the guts!"

All the soldiers shut up instantly, and except for the gunner of the mortar in front of them, all the others ran away.

Although the armored vehicle is a large target, it moves very fast. It is difficult to estimate the movement trajectory of the armored vehicle, the time when the grenade is launched, and the impact point, and it takes several layers of coordination to hit the target.

Liu Quanhua calmed himself down and did not repeat the previous aiming steps. He just used his thumb to measure the distance and then slightly increased the firing angle of the mortar. Because the armored vehicle had moved a little further, the range had to be adjusted closer.

"Xu Da, do you think Captain Liu can hit the target this time?"

Xu Le watched this scene from a distance. Since the guards could now get the same military merits as himself, he was too lazy to rush up himself and act like a rich man in the temporary command post.

"It can hit the target!" Xu Da answered without hesitation.

"You trust him so much?"

"Captain Liu is a genius in weapons. He is the strongest in the entire 176th Division, except for you, the young commander!"

"Stronger than your guards?"

Xu Da paused for a moment and said, "He can be ranked 502nd!"

Dong.....

Another grenade flew out. The armored vehicle was less than 500 meters away from the front-line fortifications, and the machine guns on the vehicle also opened fire.

The grenade flew for less than 10 seconds and landed a few meters in front of the armored vehicle. Although the explosion did not cause direct and fatal damage to the armored vehicle, the flying shrapnel caused many small holes in the front of the armored vehicle.

Even though it was just a small hole, the shrapnel was very powerful and had already made the people in the car full of holes.

"Okay! Xu Da, you have a sharp eye. Captain Liu is playing so well that I am itching to do something."

As Xu Le spoke, he looked at Liu Quanhua again and saw that he was aiming at another armored vehicle. He hurriedly shouted, "Quick, stop Lao Liu, that car is mine!"

"Old Liu, stop it!"

The grenade Liu Quanhua was holding was already in mid-air, but he stopped when he heard Xu Le's shout.

"Young Marshal, what are you doing? Go back and rest. I'm here, don't worry!"

"Bah!" Xu Le spat fiercely and said, "Alright, Captain Liu, put away your little tricks. Just beat one, and the remaining one will be mine!"

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Liu Quanhua could only hand over the grenade helplessly.

Xu Le did not answer the call. Instead, he stood next to the mortar, picked up the telescope, looked at the position of the armored vehicle, and determined its movement trajectory.

Then he adjusted the mortar, and finally took the grenade and put it into the barrel.

Dong.....

Ten seconds later, the armored vehicle was destroyed and blown to pieces.
