Niangziguan is within the effective range of the artillery positions of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Artillery Battalion of the New Regiment.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Yunlong chose to ambush the Japanese reinforcements at Piianlianggou and Longwangtu.
After shelling the Japanese mobile detachment, you can backhand shell Niangziguan without even moving the artillery position. The artillery observers can directly use precision shooting methods to determine the shooting elements.
Li Yunlong's idea was that the long-range bombardment of the two mountain artillery regiments was enough to give the Japanese and puppet troops at Niangzi Pass a drink.
Since it was determined that the First Army and even the North China Front Army had no aircraft, the only two remaining reconnaissance aircraft were also killed by Boss Chen's fighter jets.
That's why Li Yunlong dared to lead his troops to march in the daytime, and then he dared to set up his artillery and fire at enemy targets in broad daylight.
Under the illumination of muzzle fireworks, the artillery soldiers of the two artillery battalions of the new regiment were busy. The ammunition hand continued to hand over the shells, and the gunner stuffed the shells into the gun breech and closed the breech.
Boom boom boom...
The muzzle flame continued to flicker, and the barrel continued to shrink backwards, one after another.
Every time the flames flickered, a cannonball rose into the sky.
Boom boom boom...
A dense rain of shells composed of 75mm high-explosive artillery shells fell into Niangziguan Station, allowing the Japanese in Niangziguan to enjoy firepower from two mountain artillery regiments.
Simple and crude gunfire, but the ultimate enjoyment.
The shell suddenly exploded in Niangziguan Station. When the explosion fireball rose, it was accompanied by shock waves and shrapnel, flying at high speed and sweeping across.
Even though the Japanese and puppet troops were widely dispersed within the station, they were unable to escape such a density of shelling.
Only the Japanese artillery towers can barely withstand 75mm artillery shells.
As for artillery fire counter-suppression, that's even worse. Not to mention that there are only a few cannons in Niangzi Pass, and we don't even know the location of the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions.
At this time, the teaching camp pulled out all the artillery, and the 12 hidden 75mm mountain cannons were aimed at Niangziguan to blast.
The training camp also has infantry, artillery and tank troops, all of which are composed of experienced soldiers who are responsible for teaching new recruits and have strong combat effectiveness.
At this moment, more than 80 cannons were firing fiercely at the Japanese and puppet troops in Niangzi Pass.
"idiot!"
"As expected of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, only the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has such fierce artillery firepower!"
Captain Yoshida, who was in the artillery building on Monday, said with emotion as he watched the dense rain of shells falling into Niangziguan Station, and the soldiers of the Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army being bombed to death one by one.
Not even the entire 37th Division has such powerful artillery firepower.
Perhaps only the legendary Class A division is qualified to engage in an artillery battle with the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
Yoshida has been on the battlefield for a long time. He was originally a squadron leader of the 2nd Guards Division. After the 2nd Division was crippled, it merged with the crippled 37th Division and added new recruits to form the current 37th Division.
division.
Yoshida was also promoted to captain on Monday and participated in battles such as the attack on the Eighth Route Army's southeastern Shanxi base area and the Eighth Route Army's 386th Brigade's attack on Yangquan.
On the battlefield, the last thing he wanted to encounter was the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
If the new regiment makes a casual move, it will be hit with firepower at the level of two artillery regiments. How can they fight like this? Isn't this bullying?
A 75mm mountain artillery shell hit the outer wall of the cannon building, and a deafening explosion spread into the cannon building, shaking the Japanese inside the cannon building.
In order to avoid the shelling, dozens of Japanese soldiers crowded into the artillery building, and the puppet troops were driven out.
"Baga, turn south immediately!"
Taking a deep breath, Yoshida shouted an order on Monday.
Following Yoshida's order on Monday, the Japanese and puppet troops got out of their bunkers and gun towers and ran towards Mianshan Mountain south of Niangziguan.
Artillery observers on the high ground north of Niangziguan Station immediately discovered the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Then he directed the artillery to fire on the way the Japanese and puppet troops were escaping.
The new group of shells seemed to have eyes. Wherever the Japanese and puppet soldiers fled, the shells would fall, causing the Japanese and puppet soldiers to suffer miserably.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Japanese and puppet troops finally fled into the mountains.
Immediately, the artillery of the new regiment also stopped firing.
At the same time, the recruits in the training camp enjoyed a grand fireworks show. As the remaining Japanese and puppet troops escaped, the recruits rushed into Niangzi Pass with rifles in hand.
It's not that the Japanese don't want to guard Niangziguan, it's that they simply can't.
…
Piangliang ditch.
The battle has ended, and the soldiers of the first and second main battalions are cleaning the battlefield.
Due to the powerful firepower of the new group, this group of Japs was completely wiped out without even a hand-to-hand fight.
so.
Li Yunlong also didn't have the opportunity to participate in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield and get addicted to chopping off a Japanese head.
The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Li Yunlong walked to the battlefield and saw that almost all the Japanese armored vehicles and trucks had been destroyed.
More than 10 of the trucks each towed a mountain cannon, roughly an artillery brigade.
Most of these mountain cannons were blown up by bazooka rockets during the battle.
Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong held the golden Desert Eagle in his hand and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, a bunch of losers, they don't know where to hit them, what a good mountain cannon, how can I do it with just a few shots?"
Already."
The truck that towed the mountain artillery was basically filled with artillery shells, including many poison gas bombs.
After being hit by a bazooka rocket, the artillery shell exploded, and the mountain artillery dragged behind was naturally not spared.
Although the New Regiment is now wealthy, a Japanese artillery brigade will naturally not be able to get into Li Yunlong's eyes.
But seeing these blown-up mountain cannons, Li Yunlong became more jealous again and felt extremely distressed.
In the newly added long-term business, in addition to the business of cars and armored vehicles, if you destroy or capture a Japanese mountain cannon, you can also obtain an American 75mm mountain cannon from Boss Chen.
However, if these mountain cannons are not destroyed, they can be used by the training camp or militia after being captured.
…
Yangquan.
37th Division Headquarters.
The first and second mobile detachments were completely wiped out, and news of the fall of Niangzi Pass sent the entire division headquarters into an uproar.
Division commanders Adachi Twenty-three and Eguchi Taro were stunned.
How long has it been?
Two detachments of 4,000 locust troops were wiped out?
The combat effectiveness of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is too terrifying, isn't it?
"Eguchi-kun, please report this situation to the First Army Headquarters." The commander of the 23rd Adachi Division closed his eyes in pain.
After all calculations, Anda Twenty-Three did not count on the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but actually ran more than 200 kilometers to Zhengtai Road in heavy snow to attack the locust army.
Li Yunlong's initial target was not Niangziguan Station at all, but the two mobile units of the 37th Division.
