Chapter 487: Taking Your Illness and Killing You

Li Ziyuan only has ordinary anti-personnel blasting* in his hands, and it is good to cover the fire when attacking in a cluster, or to carry out targeted elimination of enemy fire points without strong fortifications, but such a distance is powerless. Mortars are certainly lightweight and flexible in use.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the other side of lightness and flexibility is that the firing range is much shorter than that of mountain artillery. The battle ahead has always been a stalemate, and it has been repeated in a tug-of-war. Whether it is the Japanese puppet army or Li Ziyuan's troops, the attack distance is calculated in meters.

Li Ziyuan concentrated his fire several times to organize assaults, trying to send mortars to positions with sufficient range. However, under the stubborn resistance of the Japanese puppet army in the face and the suppression of the Japanese artillery, they were unable to succeed, but paid a certain price. In desperation, Li Ziyuan could only stop this practice of outweighing the gains.

Now that reinforcements have arrived, the Japanese puppet army in front of them is in chaos because of the attack from both sides. If you don't do it at this time, take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, and fish in troubled waters to completely make this hateful guy who has caused countless troubles to himself disappear, when will it be? If you don't want to die while you're sick, when will it be?

Li Ziyuan dropped his command position at this time and personally took the lead in the charge. In addition to the fact that the troops have been perceived, they are now exhausted by the heavy casualties and continuous combat. This counterattack operation has a direct bearing on how much success can be achieved in this battle.

And this battle also directly determined the intensity and frequency of the Japanese puppet army's sweeps in the Ludong area in the second half of the year. If you don't hurt the Japanese puppet army in the entire Ludong area, the second half of the year will be just as difficult. Therefore, Li Ziyuan did not hesitate to disobey the repeated orders of the head of the division before departure, and personally joined the white-knuckle battle, just to mobilize the morale of the troops.

Give the already exhausted troops another dose of strength. Even if you can't eat this Japanese puppet army, you can't let them break through from yourself. And in addition to this reason, his other plan is to kill Tsuruta Numa, a guy who has been in the shadows.

Li Ziyuan was in Ludong for a day, and Tsuruta Nuanan felt a thorn in his back. In order to solve Li Ziyuan, Tsuruta Numanan can be described as well-intentioned, and it can even be said that he will do whatever it takes. But Tsuruta Nuan's day of activity in Changzhi also made Li Ziyuan very unstable.

There is such an opponent who is familiar with his tactical style and is quite targeted in deployment, and whoever changes will have a feeling of being unable to sleep. It's just that compared with Tsuruta Numa, who can mobilize superior resources, Li Ziyuan's means of adaptation are quite limited.

There are hardly many ways to deal with it other than with your own sense of smell. They have aircraft artillery and plenty of ammunition. In addition to the targeted deployment of Li Ziyuan's headquarters in the midst of the Japanese army's sweep. Basically, Li Ziyuan is not given a chance to retaliate against him, and the situation will not allow Li Ziyuan to have the ability to retaliate reciprocally.

That is to say, Tsuruta Numan has formed an absolute advantage over Li Ziyuan in the situation that the resources that can be mobilized far exceed Li Ziyuan. This allowed Li Ziyuan to kill him, and the chances of pulling out this nail were really rare. The Eighth Route Army did not have so many resources for Li Ziyuan to use, and even said that it was wasted to deal with a certain Japanese officer.

Today's situation is almost an extremely rare opportunity for Li Ziyuan. He knew that he had missed today, and if he wanted to find a chance to get rid of this guy, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. The villagers of Wangjiagou, as well as the blood feud of the people who were slaughtered because of this guy's deployment against him, Li Ziyuan has never forgotten it.

Kill him, take advantage of this rare opportunity today, pull out this nail that makes him sleepless, and avenge the villagers who were slaughtered in his deployment against himself. After the arrival of reinforcements and the change in the situation on the entire battlefield, Li Ziyuan made great determination. This is the main reason why he took the lead in launching a counterattack despite the orders of his superiors.

After commanding the troops to launch a counterattack on the whole line, Li Ziyuan purposefully rushed while fighting, and directly rushed here with a company. He Sanliang thought that Li Ziyuan rushed out and joined the battlefield in person for his own pleasure. In fact, Li Ziyuan's real purpose is this highland and the Japanese army headquarters here.

Even if it is not to completely solve the old enemy of Tsuruta Nunan, the command of the Japanese army alone will make Li Ziyuan not hesitate at all. The key to solving the battle in the shortest possible time is to shoot the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first, knock out the brains of the Japanese army, and make their chaotic state worse.

Li Ziyuan's judgment was not wrong, this is the headquarters of Tsuruta Nuan. He and the captain of the Japanese infantry brigade who accompanied him have been commanding here all along. Although a large number of eight roads appeared behind them, the Japanese puppet army that was attacked on both sides fell into chaos. But it doesn't mean that Tsuruta Numan will give up this opportunity because of the difficulties.

You know, he's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Having eaten enough weeds from the South Pacific, he was transferred back to the First Army as a senior staff officer. Although he did not realize his desire to lead the troops in person, he was finally transferred back. From the moment he sailed on that tropical island, he had vowed to completely wash away all his previous shame.

Since the day he arrived in the First Army, he has always been thinking about Li Ziyuan. Even for him to kill Li Ziyuan, it exceeded his desire for Jiangxing. From the day he arrived at the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, he had been painstakingly planning how to take out this hateful guy. It's hard to get to the point where he is today, and he will give up easily?

In fact, although Tsuruta Numan and Li Ziyuan are enemies on the battlefield, they are undying opponents. In terms of personality, the two people are almost the same, and they are both the same people who never die to achieve the set goals. In particular, this battle is related to Tsuruta Nunan, whether it can be shamed.

Looking at the current battlefield, Tsuruta Numa, who was really unwilling to fall short again, refused to retreat despite the dissuasion of several officers around him. On the one hand, he desperately sent a report to the regimental headquarters of the 36th Division, urging the reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible. On the one hand, he constantly forced the captain to adjust his deployment and re-stabilize the troops and wait for reinforcements.

At present, there are nearly 1,000 Japanese troops on the battlefield below, and he thinks that he still has the ability to fight. As long as you can get ahead of the back defense point being breached, solve the eight ways in front of you. Then even if their reinforcements arrive, it will not affect anything, let alone change anything. Tsuruta Numa's stubbornness made the other Japanese officers have to follow his orders.

It's just that Tsuruta Nuanan didn't know that his location had long been targeted by Li Ziyuan. Li Ziyuan, who has almost the same personality as him, even went into battle to kill him in person. And he fought hard all the way, and had already rushed to the range of the rifle in front of his headquarters. A distance of a few hundred meters is already close at hand.

The company that Li Ziyuan brought with him was none other than Dong Ping's company, which had been at the forefront since the battle began. Although there are only a few dozen people left in this company, they are all veterans. The tactical use is quite proficient, and the combat effectiveness is also quite strong.

It seems that Dong Ping's company was caught by Li Ziyuan at will, but in fact, Li Ziyuan will catch a company at random to carry out such an important task as killing the Japanese command. Although it was too late to transfer the reconnaissance company from behind, Li Ziyuan still had a plan in his heart to use that unit.

Dong Ping's company is a veteran, and his tactical literacy is extremely proficient. And there are no other people, which means that this company has no problems in coordination. Although more than half of the casualties had been lost in the previous battles, these veterans could use each of them for three recruits. As long as Dong Ping obeys the order, these people will definitely not have any problems.

Under the command of Li Ziyuan, Dong Ping, with a gun in one hand and a big knife in the other, led his company to tear through the defense line of the Japanese puppet army, and rushed all the way towards the headquarters of Tsuruta Nunan. Behind him, the commander of the second platoon of the regimental artillery company, under the protection of a platoon of the brother troops, also followed breathlessly with a mortar.

Despite his mortars, it was not suitable for such a fight. But after Li Ziyuan rushed through their position, he directly called him to come over with a mortar. In desperation, the platoon commander could only bite the bullet and follow behind Li Ziyuan's ass with a mortar.

And at this moment, all the attention was on dealing with the two-way attack on the eight roads, and he didn't notice that a group of eight roads was rushing towards his location. But he didn't notice that a Japanese squad that could serve as a guard at the headquarters found out that the eight roads were rushing towards the headquarters.

This Japanese squad, which was equipped with a heavy machine gun, saw this menacing force of eight roads, and he didn't care if he would accidentally injure his own people. The heavy machine gun opened fire directly, trying to stop the eight-way group. The Japanese guard team opened fire, and Li Ziyuan didn't care about anything else, and directly ordered the mortar to kill the heavy machine gun.

To say that the quality of the soldiers trained by He Huizhang is still quite good. Although the fire was hastily fired, the two shots were down, and the Japanese heavy machine gun was cleanly knocked out. At the same time, according to Li Ziyuan's order, he turned the muzzle of the gun and fired rapidly, and smashed the three shots* into the depression behind the high ground.

The artillery platoon commander did not aim precisely at all, but after a general glance, he ordered the remaining shells to be fired out as quickly as possible. At such a close distance, if such a big target can't hit again, he, the platoon commander, won't do it.

With these explosions, the radio antenna in the depression flew directly into the air. But just when Li Ziyuan applauded and asked the mortars to make persistent efforts and directly drove the shells to the high ground to kill the Japanese troops, he was told that there were no more shells.

It turned out that among the four mortars that Li Ziyuan was currently in use, after the First Battle of Basongling, the nationally made 82* he carried had been consumed. Although some of the captured in the First Battle of Eight Pine Ridge can be replenished, after the high-intensity use and launch in the previous battles, there is not much left in the front line of 82*.

The rest of the spare shells have not yet been sent to the baggage team behind. And the captured Japanese mortars, although there are still a lot of shells. But in a hurry, the platoon commander who followed Li Ziyuan's action grabbed a national-made 82 mortar nearby, but only carried five shells.

This is still the eighty-two mortars on the position, and only two-thirds of the shells remain. He brought out the five shells, and the remaining cannon behind him had only two shells left. After the five shells were fired, at least the Japanese puppet army in the rear was cleared, and there was no way before the shells of the baggage team were sent.
