Chapter 133: How Many Cannonballs Are Left in the Eighth Path?
"Then I'll cut it short." Li Yunlong's expression was solemn, "I'll give you a detachment of swords now, go around to the back of the hillside, and kill the devil's artillery position for me, and kill the devil's artillery." ”
"We've already reconnoitred the anticline of that hill in advance, and there's a cliff close to 20 meters high."
"Others can't go up, but it's not a big problem for your Sword Special Detachment."
"You have to be careful, try to get as far away as possible, so as not to be discovered by the devils in the front stronghold."
"Yes!" Lu Yingjun said, "The sword detachment guarantees to complete the task!" ”
Li Yunlong waved his hand: "Go!" ”
Lu Yingjun rushed down the dirt slope and ran briskly towards the location of the Sword Special Detachment.
The members of the Sword Special Detachment have long been impatient, the first battalion is fighting lively, the second and third battalions protect the left and right wings, and the Sword Special Detachment has nothing to do.
Each of the team members had a military horse next to them, and when they saw the captain galloping over, they all looked moved.
"Get on the horse!" Lu Yingjun ran quickly to his war horse, and turned over on his horse with a sharp step.
Li Changshun asked, "Captain, do you have a mission?" ”
Lu Yingjun said: "The regiment commander asked us to go around the rear to eliminate the devil's artillery position. ”
"Hey, that's a good job." The corners of Wei Dayong's mouth grinned, "Let's stab the devil's eyes." ”
"Let's go!" Lu Yingjun gave an order, and the team members rode their military horses towards the left of the stronghold.
In order not to be discovered by the devils in the stronghold, the sword detachment needs to go around a few kilometers, and at this time, the advantage of the sword detachment in equipping military horses is reflected, which can greatly save the physical strength and time of the members of the sword detachment.
On the front of the battlefield, the devils and puppet soldiers rushed towards the battlefield of the first battalion with rifles under the cover of artillery fire.
The Japanese puppet army did not charge brainlessly like in the TV series, but scattered very widely, approaching the position of the first battalion in a skirmish line.
This group of devils is also a chicken thief, basically following behind the puppet army's buttocks, and their body shape is as close as possible to the puppet soldiers in front of them, so it is difficult to be hit by bullets.
"Fire."
Subsequently, Zhang Dabiao ordered to open fire.
Suddenly, the three companies of the first battalion shot at the puppet army and devils who rushed up.
At the beginning, Zhang Dabiao didn't hide it and used all his firepower.
Dada, dada, dada......
The gunfire rang out like bursting beans, and a dense rain of bullets immediately poured down on the puppet army at the front, and even if the puppet army was scattered, it fell in pieces.
In addition, the artillery company carried out artillery fire coverage towards the devils hiding behind the puppet army, not to mention the grenadiers to bombard the fire points, and at this time the devils were already mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and it was difficult to protect themselves.
The first wave of attacks by the puppet army and devils was easily repulsed, and the front of the first battalion position was covered with the corpses of the puppet army.
As soon as the devils and the puppet army retreated, the devil artillery on the anti-slope plane immediately began to operate, and the artillery fire began to sweep across the positions of the first battalion.
Stone box stronghold, in the cannon tower.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the firepower of the Eighth Route is very strong, and a solid defensive position has been established."
A staff officer reports to Takeo Honda on what he has observed during the tentative attack.
Honda Takeo's face was also a little solemn at this time, and the firepower of this eight-way army was really a little unexpected by him.
He believes that the battalion of the Eighth Route in front of him, with a maximum of five or six machine guns, is already up to the sky.
However, the fact is that he just saw more than 100 tongues of fire sticking out from the position of the Eighth Route Army, and most of the puppet troops of more than 200 people were caught off guard and most of them were killed and wounded.
What the hell, is this eight-way unit equipped with more than 100 machine guns?
In fact, the first battalion had about 30 machine guns, and the other tongues of fire were mainly fired by the assault company's submachine guns, but as soon as they fought, they were filled with gunsmoke, and Honda Takeo couldn't see it.
With such strong firepower as the Eighth Route, with these forces in his hands, it is impossible to eliminate this Eighth Route from the front.
The fortifications of the Eighth Route have been dug up, and there are very few Eighth Route Army that can be killed by artillery fire, not to mention that the Japanese army is not an infinite number of shells.
Moreover, the artillery positions of the Eighth Route on the anti-slope plane were too much of a threat to the Japanese puppet army attacking head-on.
If, it is possible to take out the eight-way artillery positions on the anticline ...
Thinking of this, Takeo Honda ordered.
"The artillery continued to fire half a base of ammunition at the eight-way position."
"The first squadron attacked from the front, and the second and third squadrons attacked in a roundabout way."
"The Imperial Allied Army cooperates with the attack."
Artillery fire suppression, infantry frontal attack pinning, flank detour attack, Honda Takeo showed his military qualities as a Japanese army commander.
After discovering that the tactics of artillery bombardment and infantry charging and infantry charging were ineffective after the artillery bombardment, the Japanese army often adopted the strategy of attacking from the flanks in a roundabout way.
The devil artillery observer received the order from the flag commander, and the artillery continued to fire, and with a boom, the position of the first battalion was lifted into a cloud of mud and fog.
Before the artillery fire stopped, there were more than 100 puppet soldiers and more than 100 devils in front of them, holding rifles and launching an attack on the position of the first battalion.
Behind the devils who attacked head-on, there were more than 100 devils on the left and right flanks and more than 100 puppet troops on the left and right flanks to make a detour to the hillside where the artillery position was located.
The devil knew that he couldn't hide from the eight-way observer on the top of the opposite mountain, so he swaggered towards the two flanks of the opposite mountain.
But the devil didn't expect that Grand Master Li had already made preparations on both wings, waiting for the arrival of the devil and the puppet army.
Two companies of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions respectively established temporary positions on the flanks and set up firing points.
In addition, Li Yunlong also placed 11 machine guns on the two wings, and each battalion was equipped with four Bazooka rocket launchers.
In the face of the devils and puppet soldiers who rushed wildly without concealing their whereabouts, the soldiers of the second and third battalions of course entertained them with weapons in a friendly manner.
All kinds of light and heavy machine guns, machine guns, bazookas, and rifles greeted the devils and puppet soldiers.
At first, the devils and the puppet army tried to stabilize their position and find cover to counterattack, but the devils and the puppet army soon tasted the terrifying power of machine guns and bazooka.
The 20-mm machine shells fired broke the devils into pieces of flesh and blood, and after the shells shattered the devils or puppet soldiers, they continued to fly forward and reap the lives of the devils and puppet soldiers. Eight Chinese Net
Bazooka, which is comparable to the power of the 105 howitzer, dragged a long tail flame and flew into the crowd of devils and puppet soldiers, and it exploded into a large area.
Under the powerful firepower, the puppet army was the first to collapse, turned around and ran wildly, unable to raise the slightest courage to resist.
Although the devil's combat quality is high, he can't stand the puppet army from taking the lead in escaping, and they retreat one after another.
In the rout, many devils and puppet soldiers were shot in the back, and almost half of the devils and puppet troops on the left and right flanks were lost.
The frontal attack of the enemy was not much better, and the losses were worse than on the left and right flanks in the face of the artillery fire of the turrets and the strong fire of the battalion.
"Yaga, how is that possible?"
"Why do the Eighth Route Army still have so many shells? How can there be such a strong firepower? ”
Seeing that the attacking troops on the left, center, and right were defeated almost simultaneously, Honda Takeo's face was as if he was constipated.
This eight-way is too evil...
With the strength of 400 Japanese troops and 400 imperial allegorical troops in his hands, it was enough to defeat a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and in his cognition, a regiment of the Eighth Route Army could not fit an average of 10 bullets, and there were almost no artillery shells, which was also the existence that he dared to take the initiative to attack with inferior forces.
Could it be that the other side is Li Yunlong's new group? The more Takeo Honda thinks about it, the more likely it becomes.
The name Li Yunlong is also very famous in the First Army of the Japanese Army, and Li Yunlong is even more well-known in the Fourth Brigade, because the Sakata Wing, which was originally subordinate to the Fourth Brigade, was defeated by Li Yunlong. Mitakeshi Tsuda, the commander of the 4th Brigade, asked the soldiers to remember the name Li Yunlong, not to worship him, but to let the soldiers remember that one day he would cut off Li Yunlong's head and wash the 4th Brigade that was nailed to the pillar of shame.
Judging from the intelligence, Li Yunlong's new regiment is known for its ferocious firepower.
Thinking that it was very likely to be Li Yunlong on the other side, Takeo Honda breathed a sigh of relief, and the loss of this battle was not so uncomfortable.
After all, the elite of more than 3,000 people under the command of Sakata Nobuzhe Osaku has been defeated, not to mention the hundreds of people in his area?
On the dirt slope opposite the stronghold of the stone box, the temporary headquarters of the new regiment.
Seeing the heavy casualties of the devils and the puppet army, they hurriedly retreated into the stronghold.
"Commander, the devil's three-board axe is finished." Zhao Gang said, "It's time for us to attack." ”
Li Yunlong looked at the sky and said unhurriedly: "It's still early, don't worry, we have time to play with devils today." ”
Now the new regiment has 70-mm infantry guns, 75-mm field guns, and bazooka rocket launchers of various battalions that pose a threat to the Devil's Turret.
Needless to say, Bazooka had to be fired at least 300 meters from the turret to have a chance of hitting the turret, while infantry artillery and field artillery hit the turret with the best aim and direct fire.
The premise of aiming for direct fire is absolutely safe, but the devil still has artillery positions and will not watch you aim and shoot directly.
When the sword detachment took out the artillery formation on the anti-slope, it was the time for a new regiment to attack.
Therefore, the key to whether or not we can get rid of the stronghold today is to see if the sword detachment can successfully end the devil artillery position on the anti-slope.
The remaining hundreds of devils and puppet troops began to build fortifications in the stronghold, posing for a long-term confrontation.
After about 15 minutes of this, suddenly there was a booming sound like thunder on the opposite side, and then Li Yunlong saw a large area of gunpowder smoke rising above the stone box stronghold in the telescope.
Li Yunlong smiled: "Haha, it should be the devil's shell that was detonated, and it seems that the sword detachment has succeeded." ”
"Pass my order, and the artillery company will immediately cover the stronghold!"
The soldiers of the artillery company who received the order had indifferent expressions, and the most heard order during this time was to cover the artillery fire.
A moment later, a continuous and rapid muffled sound sounded from the artillery company's position, and dense shells pierced through the smoke of gunpowder one after another, sweeping over the highway with a sharp whistling sound.
Zhao Gang saw in the field of vision in the optical scope that the Japanese heavy machine gun position built up by dozens of sandbags on the left side was hit by several shells, the devil machine gunner and the Type 92 heavy machine gun were thrown high, and the stone box stronghold was shrouded in fire and gunsmoke.
"Yaga, how many shells are there in the Eighth Road!?"
This is the common wail of the devils and the puppet army in the stone box stronghold at this moment, and these devils and puppet soldiers are all afraid of the bombing.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
