The devils do not have many troops stationed in Jing'an County, and the Murakami Brigade originally stationed in Jing'an County has left Jing'an, which means that the troops stationed in Jing'an County will not exceed one squadron. It is even said that in Jing'an County, the devil's strength is likely to be a small team.

Generally speaking, the devil's defensive strength in the county town is only one squadron, and with the devil's combat effectiveness, it is enough to delay the arrival of reinforcements from other areas.

It is naturally impossible for a devil with a squad to control Jing'an County, but don't forget that the devil also has the assistance of the puppet army, and the number of puppet troops is enough, and it is still possible to protect the county or something.

After a day and a night of rapid marching, the independent regiment successfully reached the outskirts of Jing'an County, and through the telescope, you could see the plaster flag hanging on the city wall of the county town from a distance. The artillery company had been following behind the large army, and by the time Liu Gen arrived with the artillery company, Li Yunlong had already sent Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers to investigate the specific situation in Jing'an County.

When Liu Gen received the notice and came to the regiment headquarters, he could see that Li Yunlong and the others had obvious excitement on their faces. Among them, the most excited should be Kong Jie, the deputy head of the regiment, due to the problem of the encounter in Yangcun, Kong Jie has always wanted to find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and wants to wash away the shame of the independent regiment.

After Zhang Dabiao led the soldiers to investigate, it was determined that there was only a squad of devils left in Jing'an County, and it was the puppet army unit that was responsible for maintaining law and order on weekdays. There are quite a few puppet troops in Jing'an County, almost five or six hundred people.

Such a force, in the eyes of Li Yunlong and others, is completely fat to the mouth. Kong Jie is even more so, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is too weak, he can't look down on it, as long as he solves the devil squad in the county, then he can successfully defeat a county seat, whether it is captured, or the merits of the battle will naturally be quite good, and the shame suffered by the independent regiment in the Yangcun encounter can also be washed away.

Listening to the battle plan formulated by Li Yunlong, Liu Gen was a little helpless, his artillery company did not have much room to play in this battle. Who made the artillery battery full of mortars? As for the infantry gun, it was not selected to carry, and in terms of power, the power of the 81mm mortar and the Type 92 infantry gun was almost the same. In terms of movement, it is undoubtedly easier to move the 81mm mortar, even if the Type 92 infantry gun can push forward.

"Genzi, the task of your artillery company is very simple, that is, when the fighters attack, they will shell the defending enemy, suppress the enemy's firepower, and cover the attack of the fighters. There shouldn't be much of a problem with the artillery company in this matter, right? After assigning tasks to Zhang Dabiao and the others, Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen.

Liu Gen nodded vigorously, "Regiment Commander, don't worry, for such a simple combat mission, our artillery company will not have any problems at all." ”

"That's good! The cannonballs are saved for Lao Tzu, I don't know if they can be captured in the county! Don't run out of mortar shells, your artillery battery will be useless by then. Li Yunlong couldn't help but explain.

Sending half of the soldiers of the artillery company to the brigade headquarters, Li Yunlong got a lot of good things from the brigade commander, but there was not a single shell. The artillery shells at the brigade headquarters are not enough, where will Li Yunlong be given a part? The shells of the separate regiment were not captured and could not be replenished, and naturally there were not many shells left.

Once the artillery company runs out of shells, then the 81mm mortar in the hand will not have any effect, it is completely a useless piece of iron! Li Yunlong knew Liu Gen's temperament, and if he didn't explain to Liu Gen, if Liu Gen would run out of shells directly, it would be troublesome!

"Regiment commander, don't worry, I know that the soldiers of the artillery company will save some use." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, and after giving another order, he ordered Liu Gen and the others to go and prepare, and after a day's rest, they launched an attack on Jing'an County in the evening.

Although Li Yunlong wanted to directly attack Jing'an County, he had no choice but to suffer from a day and a night of rapid marching, and the soldiers were physically exhausted and physically exhausted. Attacking Jing'an County in the state of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment is completely joking with the lives of the soldiers, and Li Yunlong will not do such a thing.

After returning to the artillery company and telling the soldiers about the combat mission of the artillery connection, Liu Gen could see that many soldiers were extremely excited, obviously they all wanted to fight the devil. Some of the recruits who joined the artillery company wanted to enjoy the feeling of live shelling, which made the soldiers look forward to it.

After eating the dry food and watching the soldiers fall asleep, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Getting up, Liu Gen rubbed his head, after a day and a night of rapid marching, he was also quite tired. didn't choose to go to sleep directly, Liu Gen wandered around, keeping his guard.

Li Yunlong arranged for the soldiers to carry out the guard mission, but the soldiers were quite tired, and no one could guarantee that these soldiers would have problems in the vigilance. It was also Liu Gen who thought of this, so he chose to wander around the area where the artillery company was located to avoid any accidents.

While wandering around, Liu Gen has also been thinking about the situation in Jing'an County, with the situation of the independent regiment and Li Yunlong's relevant arrangements, it will not be too difficult to take this Jing'an County. It is even said that as long as the battle plan goes smoothly and all the devils in Jing'an County are killed, then most of the puppet army will lose their fighting spirit and have no courage to continue to fight against the Eighth Route Army.

When the puppet army fought with the Eighth Route Army, there were devils in the rear to supervise the battle, as long as the devils found that there was the slightest mistake, then they would not hesitate to choose to shoot. It is precisely because of this that the puppet army will choose to fight with the Eighth Route Army, otherwise, the puppet army will encounter the Eighth Route Army and the possibility of escaping is greater.

With the strength of the devils in Jing'an County, in the face of the attack of the independent regiment, if you want to successfully defend it, you can only rely on the strength of the puppet army. Thinking of those who chose to become puppet soldiers, Liu Gen felt a little sad in his heart, and he didn't know what those people thought. Become a puppet army, you can't get trust from the devils, and in battle, you will become cannon fodder at the front, is this kind of life what they want?

Shaking his head, Liu Gen stopped thinking about it, and when a soldier woke up, he fell into a deep sleep and returned to his state.

On the night of 15 June, Liu Gen and his artillery company followed behind Li Yunlong's regimental headquarters and headed for Jing'an County. Zhang Dabiao had already infiltrated Jing'an County with more than a dozen elite soldiers, looking for an opportunity to kill the devil as much as possible and weaken the devil's defensive strength. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of Zhang Dabiao and others, Li Yunlong also specially granted half of the light machine guns in the independent regiment to Zhang Dabiao and others.

Following behind Li Yunlong and others, Liu Gen could see Ding Wei's dissatisfaction, and he also wanted to sneak into the county town of the devil in advance like Zhang Dabiao, even if it was dangerous to do so, but in order to kill the devil, he was very willing. It's a pity that Li Yunlong didn't give him such a combat mission, so he could only attack with the large army.

In order to take the Jing'an county town defended by the devils as quickly as possible, Li Yunlong chose to put the strength of the whole regiment in the west of Jing'an County to launch an attack. If Li Yunlong was given a division of troops, he would definitely dare to fight openly with the devils in the county!

"Lao Kong, don't complain, Lao Tzu still wants to rush to the county town of Devil and fight hard! Look, didn't I go either? Looking at Kong Jie beside him, Li Yunlong said helplessly.

Kong Jie's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "If it weren't for Political Commissar Zhao who kept pulling you, would you not go?" Damn, besides, you Li Yunlong don't know about my Kong Jie's situation? If I don't win a battle and show the brigade commander, I can't raise my head in front of the brigade commander at all! ”

"It's okay now, sneaking into the county to kill devils is such a good thing, you Li Yunlong won't hand it over to me Kong Jie, damn, you are really Lao Tzu's good comrade-in-arms!"

"Kong Er is stunned, you are still energetic! Lao Tzu is the head of the independent regiment, and letting Zhang Dabiao take the soldiers is also a decision made by Lao Tzu! Besides, Lao Tzu sent you, isn't it also for your own good, there are so many devils and puppet soldiers in Jing'an County, it is too dangerous, even if your brother is very powerful, but his body can't block the bullet, I am reluctant to let your brother die in battle! Looking at Ding Wei beside him, Li Yunlong said with a sigh on his face.

Who knew that Ding Wei's face had not changed much at all, he and Li Yunlong had not known each other for a day or two, so how could he not know Li Yunlong's character. Damn, isn't it just to see that Jing'an County can be easily taken down to prevent yourself from taking away part of the seizure? Damn, this Lao Li loves to eat alone!

"Genzi, how is your boy's artillery battery preparing? Is there any confidence in suppressing the devil's defensive firepower? Looking at Liu Gen, who was following behind without speaking, Li Yunlong asked in a deep voice.

Liu Gen nodded, "Regiment Commander, don't worry, as long as the devil doesn't have too much artillery left for defense in Jing'an County, then there won't be too much of a problem." ”

"It's just the situation of our artillery company, you know, I'm afraid I need the brothers of other battalions to rush first, attract a wave of devils' artillery fire, and let me find the devil's artillery position!"

Li Yunlong nodded, "That's nature!" If you find the devil's artillery, you must be the first to kill it, if something goes wrong, Lao Tzu will ask you! ”

In the face of the devil's artillery, Li Yunlong did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest, and the veterans who had been trained for a period of time in the artillery company were asked to leave by the brigade headquarters, which weakened the combat effectiveness of the artillery company a lot. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly quite stupid to choose to let the artillery company take the initiative to open fire and attack!

At one o'clock in the morning, after Li Yunlong yelled and ordered the soldiers to attack, the charge horn was directly sounded, and the soldiers of the independent regiment rushed towards Jing'an County like a tide, wanting to take down Jing'an County in one fell swoop! The speed of the fighters is very fast, and the heavy machine guns and light machine guns are roaring, suppressing all the puppet troops that have emerged!

"Yaga! Yaga! Shoot! Shoot! On the city wall, the leader of the devil squad scolded loudly.

"Whoosh"

A stray bullet grazed the devil squad leader's ear, making him feel an obvious burning sensation, and in an instant, the devil squad leader bent down and didn't dare to raise his head again.
