Chapter 990: Tough Battle

Shen Long sat at the bottom of the conference room, listening to Xu Shuai talk about the military strategy for capturing Taiyuan, but he had a slight mistake in his mind, and the commanders of the two sides in this battle were really fateful.

It is said that Boss Yan and Xu Shuai have "eighteen edges", the difference between the two is eighteen years, the two families are eighteen miles apart, Xu Shuai first met Boss Yan when he was eighteen years old, and finally led the 18th Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to fight a decisive battle with Yan Xishan in Taiyuan.

Xu Shuai came to the provincial capital Taiyuan for the first time because he was admitted to the Provincial National Normal School founded by Boss Yan. Here, eighteen-year-old Xu Shuai met for the first time his long-admired Boss Yan; After graduating, Xu Shuai worked as a teacher at Chuanzhi Primary School, founded by Boss Yan in his hometown of Hebian Village.

And now, the two people who lived in a village only eighteen miles apart in the past are about to decide the future fate of Shanxi, and when he thought of this, Shen Long couldn't help but sigh, the wonder of the world is really nothing more than this, right?

For Xu Shuai's tactics and strategy, Shen Long has no doubts, if it is about military talent, even in the star-studded People's Liberation Army, Xu Shuai is also the most ranked group, looking at the various rankings of the military talent of the founding generals in later generations, Xu Shuai has never been ranked in the top five, and even more so before the old leader Li Yunlong.

The previous many battles also proved Xu Shuai's ability, he led the inferior forces left in the Luliang Mountains, repeatedly defeated Boss Yan and other fruit troops with fewer victories, liberated half of the land in Shanxi, and now surrounded Boss Yan's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses with 80,000 troops, with less siege and more, and let the enemy army have no chance to take advantage of, which really made Shen Long admire.

"Historically, Li Zicheng and Ban Heng Zhengshilang attacked Taiyuan twice, both of which first occupied the main peak of Dongshan, and then pushed to the west until they broke through the Taiyuan city wall; This is indeed a good way, but we can't afford it, so I decided to adopt the method of interspersing the north and the south, and if we want to achieve this tactic, we must first pull out the most critical part of the Taiyuan defense system - the cow camel village! ”

Niucamel Village is the nearest highland group in the east of Taiyuan City to the urban area, which can control the East Mountain and overlook the whole city; Boss Yan attaches great importance to the position of Niu Huozhai, and on this hill alone, ten reinforced concrete fortresses have been built, and each large blockhouse is surrounded by three to four small pillboxes connected to it by traffic trenches.

In front of the fortifications, there were cliffs several meters high, and there were outer trenches and barbed wire fences all over the minefield; In terms of firepower, there is a cross-fire network between the pillboxes, and each position is also equipped with a 20 mortar, a 50 small cannon and a grenadier canister, and each soldier is also distributed with two or three incendiary bombs, and the field artillery in the city can also directly support the defense of the position.

"According to the report of the underground party members, there is a secret path that can go straight to the Niu Huozhai Village, and this path is between the junction of the two garrison areas of the Yan Army.

"Li Yunlong!" Speaking of which, Xu Shuai is ready to arrange the candidates, Li Yunlong rose in response, and looked at the generals who participated in the meeting with a little pride, this battle is undoubtedly the key to the liberation of Taiyuan, as long as the cattle camel village is taken, it will occupy the high point around Taiyuan, and open the east gate of Taiyuan, so that the north and south can be interspersed, and now Xu Shuai has handed over the task to himself, which is definitely the greatest glory of a soldier.

"I order your department to send a brigade to take the cow camel village for me along this line! Give you a day! Can you complete the task! ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Li Yunlong replied loudly, so this arduous battle fell on Li Yunlong's head, and after he came down, he handed over this task to Shen Long.

Shen Long's brigade is the most effective team under Li Yunlong's column, and it is especially good at all kinds of tough battles, so it is really suitable to hand over the cow camel village to him.

"Scholar, these bunkers are not the small bunkers we used to fight, since the little devils occupied Taiyuan, permanent ground fortifications, underground tunnels and radar stations have been built here, and after Yan Laoxi returned to Taiyuan, they were reinforced; With 10 main towers as the position support point, around each main tower, there are a number of auxiliary pillboxes or firepower points to defend it, forming a defense system without firepower dead ends. Li Yunlong took the information and studied it carefully with Shen Long.

"Except for the No. 2 blockhouse, which is a two-layer stone bunker, the rest of the main blockhouses are three-layer stone bunkers, and two layers of reinforced concrete are poured between the three layers of stone, with a wall thickness of more than 1.5 meters; Scholar, do you have any good ideas? Li Yunlong asked.

"No matter how thick the bunker is, you have to leave a shooting port, right? Just aim the rocket launcher at the firing port and shoot in! Shen Long replied calmly, not taking these things to heart at all.

"That's why you have this ability, choosing you to attack the cow camel village is the right person!" Li Yunlong patted Shen Long on the shoulder and said, if you can shoot rockets along the firing port, I am afraid that only Shen Long can do it several times in the participating teams of this Taiyuan Campaign, "However, there is another problem, the range of rocket artillery is too close!" Far inferior to the enemy's machine guns, and in front of the enemy's pillboxes, is there a place to hide, how are you going to shoot at close range? ”

The Bazooka used by the Americans in World War II has a direct firing distance of only 100 meters, and the bazooka designed and manufactured by Shen Long is naturally stronger than this, but it is not so powerful that it can exceed the range of heavy machine guns.

"We are a sneak attack this time, I am afraid that there is no time to carry out tunnel operations, and the enemy will also call for support from the heavy artillery in the city through the radio when they see us carrying out tunnel operations." Shen Long analyzed.

"Yes, Yan Laoxi has a problem for us this time!" The key is here, if it weren't for this problem, Li Yunlong felt that any brigade under his command could easily take the Niuhuo Village.

"It's really not that easy to solve." Shen Long nodded.

"Hey, you can't even help the scholar this time?" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"Well, we'll have to use a secret weapon this time! Haven't you always wondered what I'm messing with? Now you can see it! This thing is just right for this battle! Shen Long said confidently.

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Let's go, scholar, let's go over and take a look?" ”

"Don't worry, when you hit the cow camel village, you can see it!"
