Chapter 288: Indiscriminate Bombardment
As soon as the words fell, the brigade commander's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Li Yunlong, your ability to talk nonsense is really getting more and more perfect?"
Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Zhao Gang looked back and saw the brigade commander walking in with a straight face.
Li Yunlong hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering face and said, "Brigade commander, when did our old Li talk nonsense?" ”
"You can pull it down." The brigade commander directly dismantled him, "You are because there are not enough grenadiers in the independent regiment, so you pulled the new regiment and the new second regiment." ”
Kong Jie feigned anger and said: "I'll just say how can there be such a good thing!" ”
Ding Wei sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's still Lao Li, so you can only take advantage of it!" ”
Li Yunlong's face fell, and he said with a frown: "But this is a good thing after all, right?" ”
"Speaking of which, there are a lot of grenadiers captured by our regiments, but they are almost useless, and the key is that there are too few opportunities to shoot live ammunition, so they can't be accurate!"
"Today is a good opportunity for military training!"
Kong Jie said: "Then you can't talk nonsense? obviously wanted us to help you, but when it came to you, it became you to help us, how can there be such a thing as you. ”
"You want us to help again, and you want me and Lao Ding to owe you a favor."
"Okay, okay." Li Yunlong snorted, "I owe you a favor, okay?" ”
After a blank look, Li Yunlong said again: "I have been moldy for eight lifetimes, and when I meet two old comrades-in-arms like you, I throw so many grenades and fight out, help you train my troops, and I owe you two a favor!" ”
"It's a mess." The more Li Yunlong spoke, the more angry he became, "Where can I reason with me?" ”
"Okay, okay, you're fucking cheap here!" The brigade commander snorted and said, "Li Yunlong, listen to me, I will give you command of the two mortar companies of the artillery battalion directly under the brigade, the two mortar companies of the new first regiment and the new second regiment, and all the grenadier groups of the whole brigade!" ”
"However, if you can't defeat the inner city of Taiyuan......"
Without waiting for the brigade commander to finish speaking, Li Yunlong immediately rushed to say: "Brigade commander, you cut off my head as a night pot!" ”
"You can pull it down, I don't need such a big night pot." The brigade commander snorted, "If you can't beat the inner city of Taiyuan, you will go to the cooking class of my brigade headquarters to carry the cauldron!" You don't have to do this regiment leader. ”
"Yes!" Li Yunlong snapped and stood upright, "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”
After speaking, Li Yunlong turned around again and shouted, "Pillar? Yu Chengzhu! ”
Yu Chengzhu trotted in and came to Li Yunlong to snap upright.
Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, all mortar companies and grenadier groups will be quickly deployed by Lao Tzu, ready to beat the dog!" ”
"Yes!" Yu Chengzhu said excitedly.
……
Soon, the two artillery companies directly under the brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade, as well as the mortar companies of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, as well as all the grenadier groups, were deployed in Tongshun Lane, Yisi Street, Beicang Lane and other streets and alleys on both sides of Xihuamen Street.
Then, 30 mortars of different calibers and more than 150 grenadiers opened fire.
Under the night, I saw a little red light blooming from time to time in Tongshun Lane, Jisi Street and Beicang Lane.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling streamers streaked across the night sky, leaving beautiful parabolas in the air, and then fell into the inner city of Taiyuan, and then exploded.
……
Even though it was night and there was a city wall, it was impossible to aim.
But for a small-caliber artillery group of 30 mortars and more than 150 grenadiers, there was no need for aiming at all.
After all, the inner city of Taiyuan is so big!
In an instant, the entire inner city of Taiyuan was blown into a burning hell.
The main street in Xihuamen, especially the focus of the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, can hardly find a single blind spot in the entire street.
The Japanese artillery and grenadiers who had gathered in the street suffered heavy casualties.
There were even shells piled up in the street that were detonated, and there was a violent detonation.
……
The sudden and indiscriminate bombardment immediately alarmed Yoshio Shinozuka in the headquarters.
The war room of the headquarters of the First Army is located on the third floor, directly opposite Xihuamen Street.
Yoshio Shinozuka walked to the window of the war room to look outside, only to see that the entire Xihuamen Street was blown into flames.
The artillery and grenadier groups gathered in the street fell one by one in the continuous explosions.
"Yaga Yaru! How so? Yoshio Shinozuka's facial muscles began to twitch violently again.
Takayoshi Tanaka followed to the window, and through the red light from the explosion outside the window, it could be clearly seen that Yoshio Shinozuka's face had turned pale.
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many mortars? ”
Takayoshi Tanaka said: "It's not all mortars, it's more just grenadiers. ”
"Grenadier?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face suddenly became more and more embarrassed.
"Yes, grenadiers." Takayoshi Tanaka said faintly, "The Black Island Wing and the Yamazaki Brigade have been shattered, the Imperial Army has lost a lot of grenadiers, and the arms train has been robbed, which has made the Eighth Route Army directly obtain nearly 100 grenadiers, and up to now, the Eighth Route Army is equipped with no less than 150 grenadiers!" ”
"150 grenadiers?" Yoshio Shinozuka looked awe-inspiring.
Tanaka Takayoshi said: "What's worse is that the Eighth Route Army still has enough grenades!" Because there were 20,000 grenades on the hijacked arms train! ”
Yoshio Shinozuka's heart suddenly sank infinitely.
In the face of such intensive artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese artillery could not organize an effective counterattack at all.
First, it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of firepower density, and secondly, because the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is more dispersed.
The advantage of dispersion is that it is more survivable and less likely to be destroyed by Japanese retaliatory fire.
This was already evident in the artillery battle in less than a quarter of an hour, and although the Japanese artillery fought back vigorously, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army outside the city was hardly weakened.
However, the artillery fire of the Japanese troops in the city was declining sharply.
Compared to a quarter of an hour ago, the density of Japanese artillery fire was even less than half!
It seems that the Eighth Route Army's intention to prevent the demolition of houses on both sides of Xihuamen Street through mortars and grenadiers, as well as to prevent them from laying the runway, will eventually come to naught.
It seems that you have to prepare for the worst in advance!
At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka sighed and said, "Tanaka-kun, organize everyone in the headquarters, whether it is combat staff, logistics, or medical personnel, all of them!" ”
"Each person will be given a Southern pistol or a Type 38 rifle!"
"I'm afraid we can only engage in brutal street battles with the Eighth Route Army!"
