In fact, the most difficult part of dealing with the Japs' strongholds is that the turrets, bunkers and other defenses built by the Japs' strongholds are extremely strong. If you want to forcefully break through from the outside, you will have to have a fortified artillery with plenty of shells and sufficient power.

This is almost the only method without resorting to tricks.

But in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was backward and ammunition was scarce.

Let alone artillery for attacking fortresses, two or three people can't even carry a gun, and they can't hold a few rounds of bullets in their pockets.

Many main force groups don't even have a grenade, so how can they attack the enemy's turrets and bunkers?

Therefore, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the anti-Japanese armed forces fought the hardest.

The prison policy implemented by the Japanese to blockade the Eighth Route Army base areas, and the large number of strongholds, gun towers, and bunkers built by the Japanese often gave the soldiers a headache, but they were helpless.

The Japanese army can station a squad of troops in any stronghold, and with well-equipped equipment and sufficient gunpowder, they can even block the attack of a battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to secure a stronghold, Eighth Route Army soldiers often paid a heavy price in casualties.

But it’s different now.

Just like what Wang Shoucheng said.

"In the past, the hard days when we used native guns and cannons to deal with the enemy's strongholds and fortresses are gone forever!

This is due to the development of equipment and the improvement of military literacy, and the soldiers have absolute military confidence.

Feel the relaxed atmosphere that suddenly filled the headquarters.

Seeing the confident expressions on the faces of the cadres, Kong Jie smiled and nodded: "Okay, Shoucheng, I want you to make preparations in advance when you go back, including the ammunition reserves for follow-up artillery needed for combat, and also

Carry reserves of fuel.

Your mechanized combat battalion must be ready for long-distance raids, reinforcements, and operations at any time!"

"Yes!"

Wang Shouchen said with stern eyes: "Commander, all the soldiers in our battalion are waiting for your order!"

After Wang Shoucheng turned around and left, while the regiment headquarters continued to study the preparations for the next war, Kong Jie proposed again: "This time it is still the same old rule. Since we want to take the opportunity to capture the Japanese stronghold in northwest Shanxi, we are the only group to eat alone.

I'm afraid it's not good.

Lao Ding, and Lao Li, we have to notify them in advance.

Including the 771st and 772nd Regiments, we must not let go and say that we only care about our old comrades and ignore the feelings of other regiment leaders."

Xu Guoan smiled and said: "Old Kong, it's rare for you to be generous!"

Kong Jie said: "That's what I said. This time we attack the Japanese stronghold. This cake is big enough. If more people share it, we can still have a full belly.

This makes everyone gather firewood and the flames are high.

This time, the more people, the better. The more we can take advantage of the opportunity, the more we beat him, the little devil is careless about his head and tail."

After making up his mind, the news was quickly conveyed through the headquarters of a team to the new first regiment, the new second regiment, including some new regiments and the old combat regiments of the 386th Brigade.

Anyway, all regiments of the Eighth Route Army on the northern border of Shanxi basically know about it.

At this time.

New Second Regiment Headquarters.

When Li Yunlong was studying the mechanized combat unit built by a team at the headquarters, he jumped in envy: "Damn it, Lao Zhao, our new second regiment must also build this mechanized combat unit!"

"Tell me, why does Lao Kong have so many bad ideas? He was the first to build this mechanized combat unit."

When it comes to the mechanized combat battalion led by Wang Shoucheng, Lao Li is quite coveted:

"Hula, reinforcements came over immediately. There were armored vehicles, cars, motorcycles, and all kinds of vehicles. They were also equipped with various machine guns and even howitzers. They suddenly appeared in a certain area and started fighting directly.

, the little devil was completely stunned!"

Li Yunlong smacked his lips in envy: "Old Zhao, such a mechanized combat force with high-speed mobility and firepower configuration is perfect for our Lao Li's combat style.

If only we had such a mechanized combat force.

I will look back for an opportunity and knock down Taiyuan City directly!"

Zhao Gang: "..."

"Lao Li, why do you keep talking more and more nonsense?

Lao Kong built a mechanized combat force, but the Japs also have mechanized combat squadrons. In addition, the Japs also have flying troops that may be reinforced at any time. These are all great threats to our mechanized combat forces.

In addition, the foundation of our new second regiment is not as good as that of the first regiment, and we do not have so many mechanized combat vehicles.

You want to build this kind of mechanized combat force. I’m afraid it’s not that easy!”

Li Yunlong retorted: "We don't have it, but Kong Erluo does!

This old Kong is extremely rich. If we ask him for a hundred combat vehicles, he can’t refuse, right?

There are always more solutions than difficulties. How can a living person be suffocated to death by urinating?

If you can't get armored vehicles, you can get some cars. If you can't get cars, you can get some motorcycles. If you can't even get motorcycles, I will just get some war horses and bicycles and build a mechanized combat force.

”

This actually reminded Li Yunlong of the cycling team built by Ding Wei's new group.

In fact, it kind of means this.

In addition, the tank company built by Li Yunlong's new second regiment also has high mobility and destructive power.

But compared to the mechanized combat ushered in by a team, the ability to adapt to complex environments is relatively poor.

Li Yunlong, who became more and more excited as he talked, soon lost his temper. He immediately shouted: "No, I have to go to a team to find Lao Kong in person!"

"Tiger!"

"Arrived!"

"You go get a motorcycle and we'll go to a team."

"Yes!"

Soon, guard Huzi took Li Yunlong on the way to the first team headquarters.

Nowadays, with the development of the three regiments in the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle, the three regiments are more closely connected with each other.

Kong Jie even asked the migrant workers' group to build some relatively flat and comfortable roads in the transportation corridors between the Iron Triangle.

In addition, there are some transportation vehicles owned by each regiment, plus fuel that can be continuously imported from Yan'an.

Sitting on the co-pilot of a three-wheeled motorcycle, Lao Li is wearing a military hat, his hair exposed from the brim of the hat blowing in the wind, which is very comfortable.

"In the future, if the army really develops and each man has a motorcycle, the war horses and old guys in our team can also have a good rest!"

Li Yunlong sighed, watching the scenery on both sides keep retreating.

Although the three defense areas in the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle were not too far apart, they were at least thirty or forty kilometers away. If we had to run on two legs, we would probably have to run for half a day.

But things are different now. There are smooth and comfortable roads, coupled with military motorcycles that can easily reach speeds of fifty or sixty kilometers per hour.

In less than an hour, Li Yunlong would appear at the first team headquarters chatting with Kong Jie.

Headquarters.

Seeing Li Yunlong arriving in a hurry, Kong Jie was in a daze.

"Lao Li, why do you have time to come to my place now?"

"I miss my old comrade. Come here and see you, Lao Kong. Why, you're not welcome?" Li Yunlong laughed twice and said in a nonchalant manner.

Kong Jile said: "Shit, Lao Li, if I remember correctly, didn't we meet at the brigade headquarters meeting three days ago?

You miss me even after not seeing me for three days, and you even made this special trip, I can’t believe it!”

"Haha, Lao Kong, why can't you stand a joke? Come on, let's get down to business. I heard that you, Lao Kong, are planning to deal with the Japanese stronghold in northwest Shanxi?"

Li Yunlong put the topic on the right track.

Kong Jie nodded: "Not bad!"

"That's not right, Lao Li, haven't I already asked the correspondent to pass this news to you?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Yes, I have received the news. Isn't that why I came here?"

"Just for this matter, do you, Commander Li, have to make a trip in person?" Kong Jie expressed doubts.

"Where is Wang Shoucheng? Why didn't I see that boy?" Li Yunlong shouted.

"What did you do when you saw Wang Shoucheng?"

"Last time when our New Second Regiment attacked the Huting stronghold, that boy Wang Shoucheng came with the mechanized combat battalion and helped a lot. We, Lao Li, haven't thanked him in person yet!"

Kong Jie laughed and scolded: "Old Li, aren't you pretending to be blind with a lantern and a liar?

If you want to thank me for this, you should also thank us!

We sent out the mechanized combat battalion to reinforce you and capture the Hu Stop stronghold. You owe us a favor for this!"

Li Yunlong scolded: "You stupid Kong Er, you still bring this up! I worked hard to capture the Huting stronghold, and the materials and ammunition I seized, including the equipment snatched from the 57th Regiment, none of it is yours.
