Chapter 114: Infantry Coordination
Immediately after, a bright searchlight shone through.
At once, they aimed at Li Sigen's lurking point.
Needless to say, this must be the captain of them.
Otherwise, it would never have been possible to find them so accurately.
In the blink of an eye, the armored train had already passed the blasting point.
"White Wolf Group!" A familiar voice came from the car, "Fried!" ”
Wang Gensheng pressed down the handle of the detonator hard, but this time he was not nervous at all.
There was a bang, and the railway embankment that was erected on the small ditch in front of it collapsed in one fell swoop.
At this time, the Zhengtai Railway was broken into two sections from the Longwang Cave, and the trains from the direction of Zhengding, Shimen, and Jingcheng could no longer enter Shanxi, at least for a short time.
In the same way, trains from Shanxi can't reach Hebei.
Wang Gensheng hurriedly took Wu Sanxi and Xie Wei from the lurking point and quickly rushed to the roadbed.
At the same time as the three of them rushed to the roadbed, the armored train also drove over, and the speed was not too fast, and the trot could follow.
Wang Gensheng ran a few steps, stepped up from the open door of the warning car, leaned out of the door with two arms, and dragged Wang Gensheng into the door.
……
Rewind the time to a few minutes ago.
The devils who attacked from Niangzi Pass have been annihilated.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang saw it clearly from the observation post on the mountainside of Mianshan.
Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, the devil puppet army that reinforced the Yanzigou stronghold was annihilated by the new second regiment and the cavalry company, and it seems that only one devil tank escaped in the end. ”
"What's the matter?"
Li Yunlong said disdainfully: "A main force regiment and a cavalry company can launch a surprise attack from such a close range, and the devil has not yet preset the fortifications, this kind of battle can be won even if a pig is sent." ”
"Lao Li, it's too much." Zhao Gang held back a smile and said, "Don't take such damage to your old comrades." ”
"Okay, don't say it, don't say it." Li Yunlong smiled, and then said, "Why hasn't the seven turns moved?" ”
"What movement can be made in the seven turns?" Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "Do you really think that Xiao Wang can lead the wolf warrior team to capture the devil's armored train?" ”
"Why not?" Li Yunlong said, "I believe that Xiao Wang can do it." ”
Zhao Gang said: "It's not a matter of believing or not believing, we always have to respect the basic laws of war......
Before he finished speaking, a red light suddenly bloomed in the mountains in front of him, although the red light flashed and disappeared, but Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong both saw it.
"Lao Li, it seems to be the Dragon King's Cave, right?"
Zhao Gang said: "Is it the direction of the Dragon King Concave?" ”
"That's right, it's the Dragon King Cave." Li Yunlong said, "The wolf warrior team has already blown up Zhengtai Road. ”
"The Dragon King's Cave detonated, which means that Xiao Wang and they didn't succeed." Zhao Gang sighed and said, "I'll just say, the success rate of the surprise attack is very low. ”
"Lao Zhao, that's not for sure."
Li Yunlong said: "According to the plan, the successful surprise attack is also to blow up the railway." ”
As he spoke, a faint explosion came from among the mountains.
This further proves that the red light before was an explosion that occurred in the Dragon King Cave, but the transmission speed of the sound wave is much slower than that of the light, so the explosion can only be heard at this time.
Zhao Gang said: "The plan is true, but I don't think it's likely. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhang, who had been lying on the top of the observation post and had been staring at the direction of the seven turns, suddenly shouted: "Commander, I see it, I see it!" ”
Li Yunlong said: "What did you see?" ”
"Train lights!" Xiao Zhang said excitedly, "I saw the train lights!" ”
"Where? Where is it? Li Yunlong was also excited, "Where are the train lights?" ”
While speaking, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also climbed up the observation post, and Li Yunlong also snatched the six-fold telescope in Zhao Gang's hand.
"Lao Li, why did you rob me again?"
"Nonsense, the regiment headquarters is just a telescope, who don't rob you?"
Zhao Gang thought to himself that after this battle, the regimental headquarters would have to be equipped with another telescope.
Standing on the top of the observation post and looking east, I saw a light shining in the mountains.
Just by looking at the brightness of this beam, you know that it must be the searchlight of the devil's armored train.
"Haha, it's really an armored train!" Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Xiao Wang, they have succeeded!" ”
"Lao Li, it may also be that the double insurance of the wolf warrior squad has failed." Zhao Gang had a worried look on his face, "The blasting of the Dragon King Cave was probably unsuccessful, so it failed to stop the devil's armored train." ”
"Absolutely impossible." Li Yunlong said, "It's impossible for Xiao Wang to miss twice in a row!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong said again: "Pass my order, the whole regiment will be bayoneted and prepare to attack!" ”
"On the bayonet? Offensive?! Zhao Gang was taken aback and lost his voice, "Lao Li, why did you come up with a bayonet?" I haven't even cleared the firepower points on the perimeter. ”
"I don't need it this time, haha."
Li Yunlong laughed and said, "There is Xiao Wang!" ”
With the powerful firepower of armored trains, it is still necessary to clean the perimeter?
When encountering the devil's fortifications and firing points, directly bombard the dog's day!
The communications squad left separately, and Li Yunlong's order was quickly conveyed.
……
Almost at the same time, the devils in the Niangzi Pass stronghold also discovered the arrival of the armored train.
"Sir, the 11th armored train fleet has arrived!" The orderly hurriedly came in to report.
"Really? It was quite punctual. Watanabe frowned and came to the platform with a few communications soldiers.
Crossing the cannon tower on the east side of the railway station, there was a bright light shining through, but this searchlight alone illuminated almost the entire Niangzi Pass stronghold as bright as day.
Just by looking at the intensity of the light, you know that it is the 60cm searchlight of the Type 94 armored train.
This is larger than the 40cm searchlight on a regular train, and the power is also greater.
Because he was facing the bright light of the searchlight, Toshio Watanabe could only raise his hand to cover his eyes.
While shielding the bright light, he cursed: "These bastards at the 11th armored train station are still so hateful! Don't you know that it's rude to put a light directly into someone's eyes? ”
At this time, the orderly suddenly said: "Sir, the armored train seems to be slowing down?" ”
"Yaga!" Watanabe Toshihiro was upset, and when he heard this, he scolded, "The armored train is about to enter the station, how can you stop at the platform without slowing down?" Do you rush straight past the Niangziguan train station? ”
"It's not." "At this rate, it will stop at seven turns." ”
"Nani?" Watanabe Toshio listened to the click of the train's steel wheels as it ran over the tracks, and found that it was exactly as the orderly said, that it would stop without entering the station.
This was a bit unexpected by Toshio Watanabe.
It's just that the little devil still doesn't realize the danger.
"Yaga, what are the idiots of the 11th armored train fleet doing?"
"Is there a mechanical failure? Because of the explosion just now? ”
"Yes, most of the power system was damaged by the attack of the dirt road."
Thinking of this, Watanabe Junzhi secretly became ruthless, and unless the other party begged him, the mechanics of the military station would not repair the power system for them, and let you shine a searchlight on people's eyes!
……
After passing the Longwang Cave, Zhengtai Road winds to the west according to the mountain of Taihang Mountain.
When about to arrive at Niangziguan Railway Station, Zhengtai Railway just turned a big bend, forming a "7" shaped curve, which is the origin of the name "Seven Turns".
The one that turned seven ways was less than three kilometers away from Niangziguan Railway Station.
With the "click" sound of steel wheels crushing the rails, an armored train composed of eight armored cars slowly drove along the Zhengtai Railway into the seven turns, and finally stopped.
Needless to say, this must have been the armored train that Wang Ye hijacked.
At this time, the armored train was facing the Niangziguan railway station.
Wei Dayong was puzzled: "Northwest wolf, why don't you stop and drive forward?" ”
"yes, wouldn't it be good to drive any further?" Wang Gensheng was also puzzled, "Directly drive the armored train into the train station, and then attack with a burst of firepower, you can kill all the devils and puppet troops in the station." ”
"You want to kill the devils in the station as soon as you hit with fire? What about daydreaming? ”
Wang Ye said angrily: "Do you really think that you can do whatever you want by hijacking an armored train?" ”
"Isn't it?" Wei Dayong retorted, "There are 4 large-caliber heavy guns on the train, and 10 7.7mm caliber Type 92 heavy machine guns!" ”
"Such a strong firepower,"
"Can the devils at the station withstand it?"
Wang Gensheng echoed: "That's right, I don't believe that the devil can withstand it." ”
Wang Ye said: "It depends on how to fight, if you follow what you said, directly drive the armored train into the railway station, and take advantage of the surprise of the devils at the station, maybe we can hit the other side in the first wave of firepower, but we ourselves will definitely be finished, and the devils only need a few bundles of explosives to blow up the armored train." ”
"The heavy artillery in the car may not have a chance to fire."
"But if you stop three kilometres away, it's a completely different story."
"At this distance, the devil infantry can't pose a threat to us at all."
"But we can use the four large-caliber heavy guns on board to unscrupulously target the targets in the Niangziguan Railway Station."
"That's why a fool would bring the train into the station."
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "What's more, we are not experts in handling artillery. ”
"Yes." Wei Dayong scratched his head and said, "We don't seem to have any of us who can shoot?" ”
As he spoke, Wang Ye had already turned on the tail searchlight of the generator car, turned on and off three times, and finally shone the light straight into a wilderness dozens of meters away.
The next moment, a tall figure rose from the wilderness.
"Lao Wang, is that you?" The tall figure asked aloud, with a northeastern accent.
"Zhuzi, I'm Wang Ye!" Wang Ye clasped his hands together and shouted, "Take your people, hurry up and get in the car!" ”
After getting Wang Ye's reply, Wang Chengzhu turned around and beckoned, and more than 20 artillery soldiers got up from the wilderness.
When all the people in the artillery company got into the car,
Wang Ye turned the searchlight and aimed it at the Niangziguan Railway Station.
This end, one end, two 60cm high-power searchlights are aimed at Niangziguan, which really illuminates the entire Niangziguan stronghold as bright as day!
Wang Chengzhu was extremely excited after getting into the car.
"It's really a Type 94 armored train!"
"I've seen this thing in Xinjing before."
"The firepower is fierce, there are 6 large-caliber heavy guns alone!"
"There is even 1 150mm caliber heavy gun, which can destroy a building with one shot!"
"This time it's time for me to seize the opportunity to see how I kill the group of deflated calves in the Niangziguan stronghold!"
Wang Ye waved his hand and said: "What you see should be a temporary model, this column is a standard model, the number of carriages has been reduced from twelve to eight, and the number of artillery pieces has also been reduced, only four." ”
"Four doors are enough." Wang Chengzhu said, "I just saw that there is a 105mm caliber one, and with this thing, you can easily smooth the entire Niangzi Pass!" ”
"Just the small turret, the small bunker,"
"Can't stop a 105 caliber heavy gun at all!"
Wang Ye smiled and said, "It's up to you next!" ”
"You'll see." Wang Chengzhu rubbed his hands and said, "Let the little devil of the dog day see the power of our Chinese artillery today!" The artillery company has it all, get into the gun position! ”
The artillery battery quickly took over the three-section artillery carriage.
Wang Ye took the wolf squad to busy pulling the phone line,
Then the troops were divided into two routes and joined up with the 1st and 2nd battalions of the independent regiment respectively.
……
The devil in the Niangziguan stronghold finally realized that something was wrong.
Due to the obstruction of vision, the devils in the Niangziguan stronghold did not see the scene of Wang Chengzhu leading more than 20 artillery members of the artillery company to board the armored train.
But even so, the devils in the station also realized that something was wrong.
"That's not right!" Toshio Watanabe immediately hid behind the Type 95 light tank parked on the platform, and shouted, "Order, all squadrons immediately enter their respective positions and prepare for battle!" ”
A shrill whistle immediately sounded in the Niangziguan stronghold, and in the whistle, groups of devils quickly entered the pillboxes, hidden bunkers and artillery towers, and a very light and heavy machine gun was also set up.
The devil's reaction speed is really fast.
Quickly prepare for battle.
……
Mianshan mountainside, observation post.
With the help of the two high-power searchlights of the armored train, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had a full view of every move of the Japanese devils in the Niangzi Pass stronghold.
Of course, only the outside can be seen.
It is impossible to see the inside of the bunkers, cannon towers, warehouses, station buildings, and military station buildings where a large number of bunkers are constructed.
But that's enough.
"Haha, our Lao Li has fought a battle for half his life, and he has never fought like this!"
Li Yunlong crossed his waist and said, "Damn, this time the little devil has bumped into it." ”
"Lao Li, I really didn't expect that Xiao Wang and they really captured the armored train!"
Wang Yedu drove the armored train in front of him, and picked up the people of the artillery company on the car, in the face of the iron-clad facts, Zhao Gang also had to believe it, and at the same time became extremely excited.
With the powerful firepower of the armored train, there is no suspense in this battle of the Niangziguan stronghold.
But Zhao Gang couldn't imagine how to fight this battle next? Because I haven't seen it before, let alone experienced it personally, when did the Eighth Route Army have such a powerful artillery?
For the entire independent regiment, it was actually a test.
Zhao Gang asked Li Yunlong: "Lao Li, how should this battle be fought next?" ”
"What's next?" Li Yunlong laughed and said, "I don't know, anyway, let's just stand here and watch the show, just watch Xiao Wang and Da Biao perform." ”
As he spoke, the attack below.
……
The three main battalions of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment launched an attack on the Niangziguan stronghold almost simultaneously.
It's just that the new 2nd Regiment is from the northwest and the 3rd Battalion of the Independent Regiment is from the southwest, all of which are feints, that is, they show a small face and shoot a few more shots to contain the devils in the stronghold.
The 1st and 2nd battalions of the Independent Regiment are the real main attacking forces!
Of these, the 1st Battalion attacked from the northeast and the 2nd Battalion from the southeast.
Wang Ye and the Black Wolf Group have already joined Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion, and their next task is to guide the artillery on the armored train to cooperate with the 1st Battalion to launch a strong attack on Niangziguan Railway Station.
Wei Dayong took the white wolf group to cooperate with the 2nd battalion to fight.
In the ensuing battle, both the 1st and 2nd battalions were supported by strong artillery fire from armored trains.
Although the independent regiment has never received training in infantry and artillery coordination, Wang Ye has thought of a good way to directly achieve the most top-level infantry and artillery coordination.
"Team Wang, the head of the regiment said."
"I'm at your disposal."
Zhang Dabiao has a lot of respect for Wang Ye.
Not only because Li Yunlong values Wang Ye,
More because of Wang Ye's ability to show!
"Camp Commander Zhang, don't scold me."
Wang Ye said: "I am just a liaison. ”
Zhang Dabiao smiled and asked, "How to fight next?" ”
Wang Ye said: "Battalion Commander Zhang, you have always seen how the devils attacked, right?" ”
"Of course." Zhang Dabiao nodded and said, "You mean to learn the devil's attack?" ”
"Yes, I'll learn how to attack the devil tonight." Wang Ye said with a smile, "At the beginning, let the brothers not rush too violently, and just slowly approach forward." ”
"Correspondent!"
"Pass my orders,"
"The companies are slowly approaching!"
Zhang Dabiao's order was quickly conveyed.
As a result, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared in the wilderness on the north side of the Zhengtai Railway, and then hundreds of figures also appeared in the wilderness on the south side.
Thousands of figures, bent over, holding bright bayonets,
From the northeast and southeast respectively, they approached Niangzi Pass a little bit.
The two searchlights on the armored train do not shine on their own people, but there are also searchlights at the Niangziguan stronghold.
The light of two 40cm searchlights soon shone through, exposing the thousands of Eighth Route Army troops approaching from the northeast and southeast to the light.
In the next moment,
Countless dazzling tongues of fire erupted from the pillboxes, turrets, and foxholes in the Niangziguan stronghold, violently sweeping towards the thousands of Eighth Route Army approaching from the northeast and southeast.
But because the distance is still more than 1,000 meters,
Light and heavy machine guns have a very large ballistic dispersion area, so the hit rate is extremely low.
However, Zhang Dabiao still followed Wang Ye's suggestion and ordered the troops to lie down.
"Lie down, all of them, lie down!" Zhang Dabiao's order was quickly issued.
The commanders and fighters of the 1st Battalion, who were bending forward with bayonets in hand, fell to the ground one after another.
One after another, streamers "roared" and shrieked over the heads of the commanders and fighters of the 1st Battalion.
The commanders and fighters of the 1st Battalion were basically unscathed, except that only one unlucky man was hit in the arm by a stray bullet and was helped down by two hygienists to bandage his wounds.
