Li Yunlong held the telescope and stared at the Yangquan City Wall for a few moments, then put down the telescope, turned his head to Zhao Gang and asked:

"Lao Zhao, do you estimate again, how many devils are there in Yangquan City?"

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Are you asking me to do the work of the regimental political commissar and chief of staff alone?" ”

"What's so bad about that?" Li Yunlong said, "Those who can work harder." ”

Zhao Gang said: "It's boring, don't think I don't know, in fact, you have already figured it out in your heart." ”

"From the information we got before the battle, we will count the enemies we have destroyed."

"Now there are no more than 300 devils and 200 puppet soldiers in Yangquan City."

"If we attack now, we should be able to take Yangquan City soon."

For the Eighth Route Army, the county town was much more difficult to fight than the stronghold, and under normal circumstances, the stronghold only had fortifications such as turrets and pillboxes.

The county town guarded by the devils has strong city walls, complete fortifications, fierce enemy firepower, and ample ammunition.

Breaking through the defenses of the city wall was very difficult for the Eighth Route Army.

And the enemy will also make corresponding combat deployments according to your ability to attack.

If the opponent does not have artillery that can blast through the walls, then focus their forces and firepower on the walls or fortifications outside the walls.

If the enemy has artillery to blast through the walls, focus your defenses on the city and let the enemy in for street fighting.

Li Yunlong said.

"Don't worry, we have time to play with devils."

"Let the battalions report casualties and losses first, and clean up the battlefield."

"Let the soldiers finish eating dry food to replenish their strength, and we will attack the city in another 2 hours."

Zhao Gang worried: "Wouldn't this be too risky?" Why don't you take a little more safety in the siege at night? ”

"After all, once our mountain artillery battalion pulls out and bombards the city wall, the little devil's plane will definitely come to bomb it."

"The mountain artillery was bombed, and we still have the help to kill 5 planes, but those artillery are treasures..."

Li Yunlong said: "This is the way to fight a war, it is impossible to only take advantage and not suffer losses, the main thing is to see who has greater losses." ”

"Let's trade one or two mountain guns for one of his dog's planes, I think this deal is a good deal."

"Besides, didn't Brother Chen Feng give us more than a hundred camouflage nets?"

"Let's take them all out and use them, can the devil pilot find which camouflage net has a mountain cannon hidden under it?"

The precision method is mainly used for artillery coverage, such as accurate artillery bombardment, because the calculated shooting parameters are mainly to cover a certain area on the map.

If you want to attack the city and collapse the city wall, you can only push the cannon forward and shoot directly at the city tower, and try to hit the same position to collapse the city wall.

This would allow the attacking force to enter the city along the collapsed walls.

Zhao Gang's expression moved: "Don't say it, this is a way." ”

At that moment, Zhao Gang ordered the signal corps to report to the brigade commander the number of enemies destroyed and the plan of the new regiment to attack Yangquan.

Now Yangquan has only a few hundred enemies, and the new regiment has a mountain artillery battalion, which has a strong ability to attack fortified positions, and the brigade commander has no reason to disagree with this battle plan.

After a while, Zheng Yu, the commander of the second battalion, walked into the regimental headquarters and saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"Report to the regiment commander, political commissar, casualties of each battalion and directly subordinate company have been counted."

Zhao Gang hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers have been killed or wounded?" ”

Zheng Yu reported: "Seventy-two soldiers killed, fifty-two wounded, missing... Fifty-two fighters. ”

There is no need to guess, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both know that the missing fifty-two soldiers must have been blown up by the devil's aerial bombs.

Either it was blown up or buried under the soil by shells.

This is also something that cannot be helped, the devil's aerial bombs are too powerful, thanks to the fact that the new regiment has 40 anti-aircraft guns that can be used for air defense, otherwise this casualty figure will be several times more.

"One hundred and twenty-four plus fifty-two equals one hundred and seventy-six."

Zhao Gang looked solemn at first, and then his brows furrowed, and he and Li Yunlong both guessed that there were at least two hundred casualties in these battles.

The fighters of the new regiment are not inferior to the devils at all in terms of marksmanship accuracy and fighting will, and their firepower is stronger than that of the devils, as well as the artillery fire of the mountain artillery battalion to cover the support.

Coupled with Li Yunlong's proper tactics, the casualty rate was greatly reduced.

Almost half of these casualties were caused by the bombs dropped by the devil's plane.

Zhao Gang asked again: "Have you counted the casualties of the cavalry battalion?" ”

"Nope." Zheng Yu said, "Battalion Commander Sun has not sent anyone to give me the casualty data. ”

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "On the side of the cavalry battalion, the casualties should not be large, within an acceptable range." ”

"I have sent someone to inform the militia." The second battalion commander continued, "Wait until the militia will come and carry the wounded down the line of fire for treatment. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, and showed a hint of satisfaction with the arrangement of the second battalion commander.

Zheng Yu asked again: "By the way, we also captured more than 400 puppet soldiers, and there are more than 30 captured devils, what should we do with these devils and puppet soldiers?" ”

Zhao Gang thought for a while, and then said: "Now we don't have much time to take care of these prisoners, hand over the devils to the militia and escort them back, and let the puppet army educate them." ”

"Don't let the puppet army go, Lao Tzu hates traitors the most fucking in his life." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Let these puppet soldiers all go to the railroad to pick up the tracks, and tell the soldiers in charge of supervision that if any puppet army dares to escape or steal and play tricks, they will be shot directly without asking for instructions!" ”

"Yes!" Zheng Yu walked out.

……

At the same time, Shoji Kurosawa, who was standing on the castle tower, was holding a telescope to look at the situation on Lion Rock.

Standing on the castle tower, you can't see the battle on the anticline of Lion Rock, but Kurosawa Shoji can probably see the battle in the direction of Swallow Gully.

The battle in the direction of Yanzigou lasted less than half an hour before it ended, and after the battle, not a single Japanese soldier returned to Yangquan.

This showed that the soldiers of the two squadrons he sent out were completely annihilated.

And the artillery fire that hoped to grab the artillery of the Eighth Route Army to counterattack the Lion Rock position has not appeared for a long time.

The plane with high hopes not only failed to hit the Eighth Road hard, but also took 5 planes, which was a loss to grandma's house.

In this wave of games, Kurosawa Shoji only felt that the deployment of the other commander's commander was simply impeccable, and at present, it seemed that all four of his preparations had failed.

And there is only one squadron left of the capable soldiers in his hands, and the rest are some puppet soldiers and ronin waste.

Suddenly, Kurosawa's pupils shrank slightly, and a terrible thought came to his mind, and he hurried down the city wall, and then got into a car, which quickly started and drove towards the brigade headquarters.

Rushing into the communication room quickly, Shoji Kurosawa immediately asked the communications staff officer with a black face:

"Haven't you been in touch yet?"

"Report to the Chief of Staff, haven't been contacted yet." The communications staff officer hurriedly stood up and paused, "More than half an hour ago, the radio telegram of the Second Brigade was terminated only halfway through, and the signal was interrupted, and since then the radio signal of the Second Brigade has been completely lost. ”

Kurosawa asked, "Nani?" The telegram was terminated halfway through? What did Ogata Nakasa post? ”

The communications staff officer handed a telegram to Shoji Kurosawa: "This is a translated message. ”

I saw that the telegram read: Report to the brigade headquarters, our department found the position of the Eighth Route Artillery ...

The telegram is very short, and it ends here, and if it is a complete telegram, it will definitely be followed by a position and a request for tactical guidance.

The telegram was only halfway sent, and either the telegram suddenly broke down, or something happened.

But it is clear that the chances of the telegram suddenly breaking down are extremely low.

Kurosawa Shoji said sharply: "Send a telegram to the headquarters immediately, the three attack forces of our department were all wiped out in the attack on the Lion Rock Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route has a great probability of attacking Yangquan, asking for tactical guidance." ”

The communications staff officer was stunned when he heard this, the Eighth Route was going to attack Yangquan City? Wouldn't they have no way to escape?

"Baga, what are you doing in a daze?"

"Send the telegram out at once!"

"Hey!" The communications staff officer hurriedly paused and quickly drew up a telegram and handed it to the telegrapher.

……

In Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

A lot of small red flags have been added to the sand table in front of Yoshio Shinozuka.

Each small red flag represents a stronghold of the Zhengtai Railway and the Tongpu Railway that were captured by the Eighth Road.

Although the command of the First Army has lost contact with these positions.

However, from the morning, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered planes from the airports of Changzhi, Taiyuan, and Datong to take off and reconnoiter along the railway.

As he expected, these lost strongholds had indeed been captured by the Eighth Route.

Since daylight, the Eighth Route has been attacking medium-sized strongholds, and it is expected that these medium-sized strongholds will all be captured by noon tomorrow.

In the end, the Eighth Route concentrated its forces to attack the large strongholds on the railway, which would not last long if there was no support.

Even on the section from Shouyang to Pingding, the Eighth Road has already captured all medium-sized strongholds and is attacking large strongholds.

This section of the road is the responsibility of the 386th Brigade, because the 386th Brigade is equipped with American mountain artillery and Super Bazooka, the ammunition is sufficient, and the ability to attack the fortified position has been increased exponentially.

Yoshio Shinozuka's gaze sank, and his gaze moved eastward along the Shota Railway Line, finally stopping at the location of Yangquan.

I wonder what's going on there? The aviation force paid the price of 5 planes to inflict heavy losses on Li Yunlong's department, presumably Kurosawa Shoji will not let me down, right?

If Shoji Kurosawa eliminated the New First Regiment and Li Yunlong this time, what about the position of the commander of the Fourth Brigade for him?

Thinking like this, Toshimatsu Kasai, a communications staff officer, hurriedly walked into the battle hall with a telegram in his hand and bowed to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Your Excellency General, the Fourth Brigade is in an emergency!"

Without waiting for Kasai Toshimatsu to read, Yoshio Shinozuka snatched the telegram and swept his eyes towards it.

When he saw it, he was stunned, and his face gradually turned dark.

"Yaga, Kurosawa Shoji is a waste, the aviation force has severely damaged the new regiment, and he can't even take the Lion Rock position?"

"Nani?" Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi was surprised, "What is this guy Kurosawa Shoji doing, he hasn't taken down the Lion Rock position yet?" ”

Receiving the telegram from Yoshio Shinozuka, Hideyoshi Kusuyama glanced at it and couldn't help but be furious.

Is this more than an offensive failure? This is simply the annihilation of the whole army, and even Yangquan is in danger of being captured by the new regiment.

What the hell is going on? Isn't it said that aviation has been reinvented?

Yoshio Shinozuka raised his head, looked at Toshimatsu Kasai, and said in a hurried tone: "Go to the special forces training camp and invite Yamamoto Daisa back!" ”

"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.
