"The Eighth Route Army... no less than one brigade, with very powerful firepower, carrying mortars, heavy machine guns and other firepower!" Although Takeshima Suda did not know the number of people and equipment of the Eighth Route Army, but at the moment, he can only say that it is bigger, and the more he says, the more powerful it is.
The bigger it is, the faster the rescue will be.
"I understand." Tsuda Mitake said, "Takeda-kun, you immediately lead your troops to retake the southern city wall. I will ask the communications corps to get in touch with Colonel Kuroshima as soon as possible and ask the Kuroshima unit to return to the county. In addition, I will report to the commander.
Ministry, reinforcements from all directions will arrive soon."
Takeshima Suda looked happy and quickly nodded: "Hi!"
Ding ding ding——
Just after hanging up the phone, Takeshima Suda, who was about to lead his troops to storm the South City Gate, heard the phone ring.
Takeshima Suda quickly picked it up and put it to his ear: "Moxi Moxi?"
at the same time.
With the Type 92 infantry cannon and machine gun ready.
The 70mm shell is pushed into the gun chamber and the gate is closed.
The drum of 20mm machine gun shells is fully loaded.
Li Yunlong loudly ordered: "Fire!"
boom!
A ball of flame burst out from the muzzle of the infantry cannon, and a 70mm shell immediately came out of the barrel and accurately hit the Japanese gun tower.
Boom boom…
The four machine guns also roared at the same time, spitting out long tongues of flame, and in an instant fired more than thirty 20mm shells at the Japanese bunker.
All of a sudden.
The 70mm shell landed on the turret and exploded, sending up a large plume of smoke and a fireball.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the Japanese turret trembling, and rubble splashed everywhere. A large piece of the Japanese turret was chipped off by the shells.
The Type 92 infantry gun's destructive power against the turret is still not as great as that of the 75-caliber field gun. If that gun came with such a blast, the turret would collapse immediately.
Li Yunlong immediately raised his telescope and observed that half of the Japanese turret was missing as if it had been gnawed by a dog, while the Japanese bunker had more than ten holes as thick as an arm.
"Haha, that's so damn exciting!" Li Yunlong laughed as he stared at the Japanese gun towers and bunkers.
In recent years, when the Eighth Route Army attacked strongholds like this, they basically set up machine gun fire a few hundred meters away to suppress it, and soldiers carried explosive packs to blast them before they could capture them.
It's just possible. In fact, most of the time, it's a loss-making business. Soldiers sacrifice a lot, but the stronghold may not be captured.
Nowadays, the machine guns and infantry guns are directly sent here to bombard the Japanese gun towers and bunkers at will from 800 meters away, but the Japanese are helpless.
"Fuck me a few more times!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly.
The machine gun immediately started roaring again, and the enemy's bunker was filled with sand and rocks.
On the infantry artillery position, Wang Chengzhu personally operated and then opened the gate, ejected the shell casing, took a shell from the artilleryman, and stuffed it into the barrel.
Fine-tune the muzzle according to the scope of the infantry gun, and refer to the impact point of the previous shot so that the muzzle direction points directly to the center of the turret.
Then he took two steps back, pulled the match rope, and with a muffled sound, the cannon body shook, and the cannonball was ejected.
boom--
With a violent explosion, a big hole was blown out of the middle of the entire Japs turret. The Japs and puppet troops inside were killed and wounded, but the Type 92 heavy machine gun was still firing.
At this time, the machine gun position was finished. The machine guns in the two bunkers had completely misfired, and the Japanese bunkers were full of shell holes as thick as a bowl.
"Come again!" Wang Chengzhu sneered upon seeing this, and then slightly adjusted the angle of the muzzle. This time, he pointed the muzzle directly at the big hole in the turret blown by the previous shot.
Repeat the actions just now, remove the egg shells, load the shells, and pull the match rope all at once.
boom--
The shell was fired from the hole, exploded inside the gun tower, and smoke and fire shot out from the large hole and shooting holes.
All the enemy's firepower was completely silenced.
"Kill!" Seeing this, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were attacking from the front charged into the Nanzhuang Village stronghold.
Li Yunlong stood up from behind the bunker, listening to the sparse gunshots, and looked very satisfied. It felt good to be well equipped for fighting.
It was because of the poor equipment of the Eighth Route Army that the Japanese strongholds, bunkers and artillery towers had a place in North China.
As long as they are well equipped, bunkers and gun towers are coffins built by the Japanese and puppet troops for themselves.
During the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, Stilwell shook his head when he saw the poor equipment of the Eighth Route Army and proposed to provide a large number of rocket launchers to the Eighth Route Army to deal with the Japanese bunkers and gun towers.
This shocked the bald head, and he sternly refused on the spot. Most of the equipment provided by the Soviet Union to assist the Eighth Route Army was also detained by the bald head.
Eighth Route Army lived a really hard life...
"Leave two squads to clean up the battlefield!"
"Hygienists rescue the wounded!"
"We continue to attack the county seat!"
Li Yunlong was very satisfied with this battle.
Infantry cannons and machine guns were more useful than he imagined.
Three rounds of artillery blasted through a small turret, and machine guns even turned two bunkers into honeycombs.
Although the soldiers of the new regiment also suffered casualties, within the acceptable range of Li Yunlong, the casualties were much smaller than those of the Japanese.
…
Headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan.
Commander Yoshio Shinozuka and Kazuki Yamamoto are playing chess.
After these two months, Yamamoto Kazuki investigated several of Shinozuka Yoshio's close confidants.
Although Yamamoto Kazuki found nothing, he firmly believed that one of the staff members must have leaked the whereabouts of Yamamoto's special agent team.
Just when the two men were killing each other, Hideyoshi Kusuyama, Chief of Staff of the First Army, walked in.
Walking to the chess table, Kusuyama Hideyoshi glanced at Yamamoto Kazuki hesitantly.
Yamamoto Kazuki was keenly aware of Kusuyama Hideyoshi's expression, stood up, and said to Shinozuka Yoshio: "General, it seems that I need to avoid it."
However, Yoshio Shinozuka quickly reached out his hand: "No need to avoid it, Yamamoto-kun is one of our own, Kusuyama-kun, please tell me if you have anything."
Kusuyama Hideyoshi said: "Commander, just now the commander of the fourth brigade, Mitake Tsuda, reported that the county seat of Qixian County was under siege by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka stood up abruptly upon hearing this.
Yamamoto Kazuki also turned his head suddenly, his eyes flashing sharply.
With the equipment of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army actually took the initiative to attack the heavily defended Qixian County town with thick walls?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Isn’t that lighting a lantern in the toilet and seeking death?
Is it a mistake?
Or is it that our imperial army can no longer lift the sword?
What's more, the Black Island Regiment is stationed in Qixian County. Even if the Eighth Route Army dispatches a division, it may not be able to get even half a step closer to Qixian County.
After a brief surprise, Yoshio Shinozuka and Kazuki Yamamoto quickly walked to a huge map hanging on the wall and found the location of the county seat of Qi County.
"Mr. Nanshan, how is the situation in Qixian County now?"
"Did the Black Island United repulse the Eighth Route Army's attack?"
"Please order the Captain of the Black Island Regiment to strictly guard the county town. Do not pursue deeply in case you are ambushed by the Eighth Route Army."
Yoshio Shinozuka pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.
However, Kusuyama Hideyoshi's face was gloomy: "Your Excellency, Commander, the situation may be a bit bad. The Black Island Regiment fell into the Eighth Route Army's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and is no longer in Qixian County at this time."
"Both the headquarters and the 4th Brigade lost the radio signal of the Black Island Wing."
"According to the report of Captain Takeda, the captain of the military police stationed in Qixian County."
"The Eighth Route Army first used cavalry to lure away the Black Island Regiment, and then suddenly launched an attack on the county seat, with no more than a brigade of troops."
"Currently, the south gate has been lost. Captain Takeda is asking Mitake Tsumura for tactical guidance!"
