Chapter 657 Heavy Artillery Legend

Osamu Maeda was already almost insane, holding a command knife and shouting incessantly, and the machine gunner on Yuan Guoguang's tank hit a string of bullets, and one bullet hit Maeda directly in the forehead. Osamu Maeda stopped shouting, never gave orders again, and fell limply to the ground.

Maeda's death made Morita Masahomi paralyzed all of a sudden. This old devil also mustered up his courage just now, and wanted to advance and retreat with Maeda, but now he was paralyzed in the abandoned shallow trench, thinking about how to escape.

Want to escape? It will take time to have a chance. Morita Masahomi was a hero just now, and he didn't flee with the chief of staff of the 35th Division, and now it's too late to want to escape

The tanks of Yuan Guoguang and his comrades-in-arms pressed over, and the little devils who shot and resisted, when they were dying, actually picked up their bayonets and shouted and rushed towards the tanks of the Eighth Route Army. These little devils, at this time, are still thinking about their old pig tactics and want to fight bayonets with the tanks of the Eighth Route Army. Those who are a little more shrewd lie in the trenches and pretend to be dead, holding grenades and preparing to blow up the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, Osamu Maeda only intercepted the remnants of a squad at first, about twenty or thirty people. However, after a little time, the little devils came together, and soon gathered a hundred and ten people. Just now, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army were beaten hard, and the No. 100 little devils suffered heavy casualties, and only a few dozen people remained.

Originally, the tank corps of the Eighth Route Army were all infantry, and they were selected from among the infantry to train soldiers with a relatively high level of education to become tank troops, and they were the backbone of the Eighth Route Army's combat cadres who had both technology and infantry combat experience. The thoughts of the little devils fell in the eyes of the tank soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, which was simply not worth mentioning. If you want to blow up the Tucker track, you have to use an explosive pack or a cluster grenade, and if you want to blow up the tank track of the Eighth Route Army with one or two small melon grenades, don't you believe in the manufacturing level and product quality of the Japanese military industrial enterprises?

Yuan Guoguang still had to rush to assault the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, where would he have time to entangle his chariot with this little devil blocking force and first crossed the shallow abandoned old trench that the Japanese army had not had time to reinforce and dig deep. Behind him were the 10 tanks of the whole company and the accompanying armored vehicles and automobiles that followed the attack, and the little devils who were hiding in the trenches and trying to blow up the tanks were hit by machine gun bullets.

Morita Masahomi was not as stupid as those young devil soldiers, he lay motionless in the trenches, trying to wait for the chariot of the Eighth Route Army to pass, and then get up and run for his life. What he didn't expect was that the strength of the Eighth Route Army's assault force was beyond his imagination, and the chariots, armored vehicles, and automobiles were endless, and it seemed that the shallow trenches were about to be flattened, and Morita Masatomi no longer dared to pretend to be dead, and if he pretended again, he would be crushed into meatloaf by the vehicles of the Eighth Route Army.

Morita Masahomi got up from the trench and wanted to roll a few times, change positions, and avoid being run over by the vehicles of the Eighth Route Army. When he got up, Morita Masatomi was stupid: behind the steel torrent composed of the motor vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, there was an overwhelming cavalry of the Eighth Route Army with torches, the sabers were shining, and the horse's hooves were flying, and the formation made Morita Masatomi unforgettable for the rest of his life. Of course, his life came to an abrupt end here, and a string of bullets hit, and Morita Masafumi, like Osamu Maeda, stared at a pair of frightened eyes and fell limply to the ground, putting an end to his sinful life.

At this time, near Anjiazhuang, a good show was being staged.

The heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army belongs to the artillery of the Japanese reserve and mainly undertakes the task of attacking fortifications. Under the command of the 14th Division was the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army. This heavy artillery brigade is equipped with more than 70 large-caliber howitzers or cannons of 100 mm to 240 mm, and also has antiaircraft guns, rapid-fire guns, and baggage troops, with a total strength of up to 800 The brigade headquarters of the First Heavy Artillery Brigade went to Shanxi with most of its troops and returned to the First Army. The 14th Division remained with only one 105 howitzer brigade and one 105 cannon brigade, as well as some of the baggage units that transported ammunition for these two brigades. The total strength is about 3,000 people, with a total of 105 howitzers, 12 105 cannons, and 12 cannons.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 24 cannons, in Liu Yimin's eyes, this is definitely a baby pimple that can't be bought with gold bars. These howitzers and cannons have strong firepower, long range, easy to maneuver, can be towed by cars, and can also be towed with charge.

Liu Yimin forbade the first air brigade to bomb and artillery groups to shell the Japanese army's heavy artillery brigade units, with the purpose of seizing these heavy artillery pieces and using them to equip the artillery brigade. To this end, he pulled out the first battalion of Jiao and combined it with the special operations brigade and the sniper brigade to form a special detachment, commanded by Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng, whose task was to extract teeth from the tiger's mouth and completely capture the 24 heavy artillery pieces of the little devil.

Last night, when Liu Yimin arrived in Tai'an from Jinan, Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng led a special detachment south between Feicheng and Ningyang, and according to the general battle plan, the main battlefield was chosen in Anjiazhuang. This place is at the intersection of the highways from Dongping to Tai'an and Feicheng to Ningyang and Yanzhou, with the Wen River to the south and the Feizhong Mountains to the north. And Feizhong Mountain is the last position set up by our army's blocking group, and the people are in the position, and they will never let the little devils cross Feizhong Mountain to the north. Calculating the distance, it should be the best place for the Japanese army to establish a front-line command and set up a heavy artillery position.

Anjiazhuang was also the main battlefield of the last siege of the Japanese army by the Taixi group and the independent mixed third brigade. At that time, due to the lack of heavy weapons in the Taixi group, the Japanese army insisted on the 35th Division to reinforce the 35th Division by virtue of the terrain of Anjiazhuang. Our army's attack was fruitless, not only did it not eliminate the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, but sacrificed Huang Su and Guo Zheng. Li Lingfeng is good at everything, but he is not good at all, that is, he holds grudges. Huang Su served as the deputy political commissar of the Central Guard Division, and he was one of the leaders that Li Lingfeng respected very much.

After our army captured Jinan, the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade withdrew south in the starry night, and the Taixi Garrison Brigade took advantage of the situation to recover Feicheng, Ningyang and Dongping. Anjiazhuang is located at the intersection of two highways, the strategic position is important, the Taixi District Party Committee, the Feicheng County Party Committee and the Taixi Garrison Brigade have regarded Anjiazhuang as a key market town for the construction of the tunnel network, in just over two months, the tunnel construction of Anjiazhuang has been completed, and it is connected with the surrounding villages to form an tunnel network.

The small Anjiazhuang is burning with an unquenchable anti-Japanese fire.

When our party launched the Culai Mountain Uprising, the two brothers Liang Jiesan and Liang Jianzhai in Anjiazhuang not only actively responded to the call and devoted themselves to the preparations for the uprising, but also persuaded the Kuomintang Tai'an County Governor Wu Shengyu to join the anti-Japanese team.

When the Japanese army occupied Feicheng and Ningyang for the first time, they burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil. In Ningyang County alone, more than 180 people were killed at one time. The area around Anjiazhuang is a traffic artery, and the villagers have long been bullied by the little devils, so it is natural to rise up and resist. There are many young people in this town who joined the Eighth Route Army, picking up guns and fighting hard with little devils.

After Li Lingfeng and Wang Tongsheng led the special detachment into Anjiazhuang, under the leadership of the district squad and the militia team, they became familiar with the tunnels of Anjiazhuang.

After reading the tunnel, Li Lingfeng called Wang Tongsheng, Wang Laohu, Li Shanzhu, commander of the 1st Battalion, and squadron leaders of the Special Operations Brigade and Sniper Brigade together to study the battle plan.

In accordance with the task assigned by Liu Yimin, the sniper brigade was dispatched in an all-round way, from outside Yanzhou City to Anjiazhuang, setting up sniper points all the way, using sniper rifles with silencers to fire as much as possible, specifically hitting the grassroots officers, gunners, and machine gunners of the 14th Division, and bleeding the little devils. Withdraw as soon as you do. Tomorrow before dark, they must return to Anjiazhuang to stand by, prepare to attack the Japanese heavy artillery units, and capture the Japanese artillery.

After dark, the sniper brigade was used to snipe the Japanese heavy artillery from a distance, and the special operations brigade and the 1st Battalion were responsible for eliminating the guard units and baggage units of the Japanese heavy artillery positions. Ensure that 24 cannons and shells, vehicles were captured intact.

According to Liu Yimin's order, combined with the topography and tunnel network of Anjiazhuang, Li Lingfeng broke down the tasks in detail, from how to reconnoiter and monitor the movements of the Japanese army to the sortie routes and concealment locations of each team.

Li Lingfeng's plan is three sets of plans, the first plan is to solve it by force, the second plan is to outwit, and the third plan is to destroy the little devil heavy artillery as a last resort.

That night, the sniper brigade went south by motorbike in batches and set up sniper points between Yanzhou and Anjiazhuang in preparation to cooperate with our blocking troops. Li Lingfeng took the special operations brigade and the first battalion to camp in Anjiazhuang.

The villagers of Anjiazhuang have been notified, and every household is clear of the wall, and everyone goes to the tunnel. Now that they saw such an elite Eighth Route Army, the villagers were reluctant to go to the tunnel, and the cadres had no choice, so they came to Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Laohu, and asked the chiefs to help them do the work of the villagers.

Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Laohu are all special combat heroes, and what they pay attention to is that the dragon sees the beginning but does not see the end, and is not good at doing mass work. This fell to the first battalion.

In addition to the special combat team and sniper team, the first battalion is the unit that Liu Yimin has spent the most effort on. According to Liu Yimin's requirements, that is, picking up a gun is the pioneer of the whole army, picking up a hoe is a pacesetter in production, and sending a squad leader can become a company commander in other units, a brigade leader in a guerrilla unit, and a district commander in a local area. The study book of each soldier in the first battalion was repeatedly corrected by Liu Yimin, and the first page of each soldier's study book had Liu Yimin's gift. Li Shanzhu, commander of the 1st Battalion, once bragged to others and said a remark, that is, there are many ways to distinguish a soldier from that unit. But there is one point, if there is no inscription from the division commander on the first page of the study book, it is definitely not the cadres and soldiers of the first battalion.

Although the current 1st Instructor Battalion has sent cadres to other units many times, the tradition of study, strict training, and sharp and tenacious fighting style has been carried forward, and it is still the tip of the knife on the knife of the entire instructor.

Teaching more than 800 soldiers in the first battalion, all of them went into the house to talk with the villagers, and the effect was naturally very good, but the battalion commander Li Shanzhu caused trouble.

An Xiaoying, the deputy district governor assigned to Anjiazhuang to do work, was a female student who joined the army in Tianjin, fought with the army all the way, and knew the main force of the Eighth Route Army very well. As soon as I saw the first battalion, I knew that there was going to be a big battle here, otherwise the most elite battalion of the instructor would not come to Anjiazhuang.

An Xiaoying didn't know that the special operations brigade and sniper brigade of the Eighth Route Army were with the first battalion, which were all secret troops, and they were all called instructor special agent battalions to the outside world, and An Xiaoying didn't know about this.

After meeting Li Shanzhu, An Xiaoying felt that this first battalion commander was a good person, calm and capable, and his words and actions were reassuring, and he unconsciously had a sense of closeness in his heart.

Following Li Shanzhu to do work for the villagers, An Xiaoying secretly looked at Li Shanzhu from time to time, and the more she looked at it, the more ashamed she became, and a trace of blush quietly crept up on her face. I always used the words of the villagers to ask Li Shanzhu where his hometown was, when he became the Red Army, and who else was in the family. This time, those uncles and aunts have all seen a little way, and they have become more and more affectionate to Li Shanzhu.

Although Li Shanzhu is a hero of a hundred battles and a master who sees blood on the battlefield, it doesn't mean that he can't detect An Xiaoying's hot gaze that sneaks in. When he returned to his residence to meet Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Laohu, his expression when he spoke was not right, and his words were also flashing, which made Wang Laohu puzzled, and he raised his ear to ask what was wrong.

It wasn't until An Xiaoying came to Li Shanzhu and shyly gave him a pair of cloth shoes that Li Lingfeng and the others suddenly realized that someone had taken a fancy to our battalion commander Li.

A few people made a fool of themselves, and they had to ask Li Shanzhu to send An Xiaoying a gift back, otherwise they would be too embarrassed to teach the people of the first battalion who were invincible and invincible, and others would say that the commander of the first battalion of the division commander's heart did not know how to be polite

Seeing a few people coaxing, An Xiaoying was already too ashamed to do anything, and she couldn't wait to run away immediately. But she wanted to see if Li Shanzhu would give her a gift, so she lowered her head, turned her face, and hid to the side without saying a word.

Li Shanzhu is not stupid, such a good girl, he can't dream of it, where would he be reluctant to give gifts

Li Shanzhu took out a Parker gold pen, which was awarded to him by Liu Yimin, rewarding him for bringing the first battalion into a model battalion with a strong learning atmosphere. Then he took out a small pick, which was also approved by Liu Yimin and issued to him, and it was the last defensive weapon in case of emergency.

These two gifts, Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Laohu all have them, they are all precious items that cannot be more precious, seeing that Li Shanzhu was willing to take them out and give them to An Xiaoying, Wang Laohu smiled and said that Li Shanzhu was finished, and took out all the objects at the bottom of the box and gave them away. It seems that Deputy District Chief An will be the home of the elite Li Da Battalion Commander in the future.

After An Xiaoying took Li Shanzhu's gift, she said thank you, turned around and ran away. Here Wang Laohu joked about Li Shanzhu, this deal accompanied Dafa, a pair of cloth shoes were exchanged for the Parker gold pen and pistol rewarded by the division commander, when did the first battalion change its temperament? It seems that after meeting with Senior Divisional Commander, Political Commissar Cheng and Wang Dahu, I have to remind them that the commander of the first battalion of this sect should be replaced.

Early the next morning, a report came from the front line in Yanzhou that the Eighth Route Army Air Brigade attacked Xuzhou Airport and bombed the Japanese puppet army that was preparing to attack. It is a pity that it was the puppet Manchurian Wehrmacht that was bombed, and the 14th Division was not bombed.

After that, the reports continued to be sent, and the 35th Division of the Japanese Army and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade launched an attack along the Jinpu Road, and the blocking troops were resisting one after another. But there has been no news of the 14th Division. Li Lingfeng fidgeted anxiously, for fear that the little devil would use some tricks and change the attack route. It wasn't until the 14th Division left Yanzhou and engaged the blocking troops that Li Lingfeng was relieved.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the 14th Division was bombed by the formation of Xue Junmin of the 1st Aviation Brigade of the Eighth Route Army on the side of the Wen River, and the sound of gunfire was clearly heard in Anjiazhuang. Li Lingfeng looked at the sky and knew that the little devil was acting exactly according to the division commander's expectations, so he began to deploy the operation.

Before dark, the members of the sniper brigade returned to Anjiazhuang one after another and reported their respective achievements, and Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, Wang Laohu, and Li Shanzhu all applauded one after another.

Wang Shangwu, commander of the No. 2 Sniper Squadron, reported that the 14 th Division had more than 1,000 vehicles alone, and the blocking troops mainly relied on planting electric explosive packs and mines to stop the attack. Otherwise, the troops would have been drowned out by the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army. In particular, the heavy artillery units of the Japanese army were all towed by cars and moved quickly. Although the marching position was at the end of the whole division, if the battle started, the artillery not only hit far but also accurately, which was very powerful. However, as soon as he talked about it, Wang Shangwu laughed, saying that the officers of the two heavy artillery wings of the little devil basically changed, and his second squadron stared at the devil's heavy artillery unit, using a sniper rifle with a silencer, shooting from a distance of four or five hundred meters, and the little devil artillery thought that they had encountered a ghost, and every time a few officers fell, the little devil soldiers knelt on the ground and prayed, as if they wanted to pray for Apayasu to protect them.

Li Buffalo, the captain of the 1st Sniper Squadron, and Liu Bin, the leader of the 3rd Squadron, both reported that the junior officers of the 14th Division suffered heavy losses, and they waited in concealment and were killed when they shot. Moreover, I saw with my own eyes the redeployment and appointment of officers by the Japanese army.

As soon as Li Lingfeng heard this, he came to his senses and felt that there was an opportunity. The officers of the two heavy artillery brigades of the little devil have changed, that is, the officers who are familiar with the 14th Division are basically dead. Newly appointed officers rarely have the opportunity to report directly to the 14th Division, and they must be very unfamiliar to them. Moreover, the grass-roots officers of the 14th Division suffered heavy casualties, and many of the newly appointed officers were certainly not as familiar with the troops as the original officers. This is the fighter

Li Lingfeng is a special operations expert trained by Liu Yimin, and he knows the three flavors of special operations very well. If you blindly fight bravely, it is not a special operation. In the final analysis, special operations are to use methods that the enemy does not expect to achieve combat objectives at the lowest cost. Since this is the case for the little devil, if you don't give him a fish in troubled waters, then Li Lingfeng wrote the three words upside down
