"Report to the regiment commander, at present, the offensive of all units is going well, and the first battalion has pulled out 3 pillboxes and 7 artillery towers, and these pillboxes and artillery towers are all thickened."

At the temporary headquarters of the new regiment, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou smiled slightly and reported the latest battle situation to Li Yunlong:

"The first battalion suffered more than 50 casualties, but the devils suffered at least 200 casualties, and this is only the battle situation of one of the attack forces."

"The attack speed of the first battalion is very fast, and the tactics of the first battalion commander are very effective." Zhao Gang said, "At this rate, at most tomorrow morning, our main force will be able to complete the encirclement of Heyuan County." ”

"Not tomorrow morning, at most in the middle of the night."

Li Yunlong stared at the map and analyzed it carefully, and then said.

Duan Peng's sword squadron had already conducted careful reconnaissance of the devil's blockade line.

A map was also specially drawn, and the location of each devil's bunker and turret was marked on the map.

This time, the new regiment attacked the 36th Division of the Japanese army, and Li Yunlong was very well prepared.

Each red X on the map represents that the devil's turret or blockhouse has been removed, and the devil inside the bunker and turret has been roasted as acquaintances.

"Lao Li, why do you think you can complete the first phase of the battle so quickly?" Zhao Gang was puzzled.

"It's simple." Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "The ten kilometers around the county town are basically ordinary reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets, and after the thickened reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets are all pulled out by us, these ordinary bunkers and turrets can't stop our attack at all." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Gang quickly reacted: "After the thickened pillboxes and turrets were removed, the devil knew that ordinary reinforced concrete fortifications could not stop the attack of our new regiment, so he would take the initiative to order the soldiers to be withdrawn into the county town?" ”

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Jing Guanqian is not a fool, he won't leave those devil soldiers outside the city for us to kill." ”

Zhao Gang nodded, saying that Li Yunlong's analysis was correct, according to the current speed of advancement, Heyuan County would be able to be surrounded in the second half of the night.

"This flamethrower, the effect is unexpectedly good!" Zhao Gang changed his words and said.

As the first battalion advanced, the headquarters of the new regiment also moved forward, and Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong and others also saw the corpses of devils who had been charred by flamethrowers.

"Of course, the weapon recommended by Brother Chen, can the power be small?"

While feeling the great power, Grand Master Li also paid more and more attention to the flamethrower weapon.

A year ago, Li Yunlong remembered that Boss Chen strongly recommended flamethrowers to him, and he paid attention to it at that time, but the degree of attention was not enough, and only replaced more than 10 flamethrowers.

"In addition to Bazooka, the flamethrower weapon should also be equipped with a large number of troops in the future."

Li Yunlong said: "It can not be equipped with one per squad like Bazooka, but each platoon must be equipped with at least two flamethrowers, which is simply an artifact to deal with the thickened pillboxes and turrets of the devils, and it is also a sharp weapon for barbecue devil infantry, tanks and armored vehicles for barbecue devils." ”

Now Li Yunlong really tasted the sweetness.

Wang Dehou carefully calculated and said: "If a platoon is equipped with two flamethrowers, then it needs at least 700 flamethrowers, and we only have 120 now." ”

"There's no hurry." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "When this business is done, it should be enough." ”

……

In the direction of Anhua County, it is a highway more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat.

Kong Jie is commanding the troops to attack a devil thickened bunker.

Although the commander is Kong Jie, the current attacking force is a new regiment, and the infantry, artillery, and flamethrowers are all new regiments.

Because there was more than one thickened pillbox and artillery tower, the infantry, artillery, and flamethrowers of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were all in turn to go into battle, because Li Yunlong sent a telegram to a new tactic, heavy artillery plus smoke bombs and flamethrowers, after changing the new tactics, the battle went very smoothly, and the devil's gun tower and pillbox were eliminated all the way, as if entering a no-man's land, the battle was fruitful.

The devils in the bunkers and turrets that were taken away were almost all roasted.

"See?"

"This is a recruit who has just joined the army for two months, and in terms of tactical coordination during the attack, it is no worse than our soldiers!"

Kong Jie pointed to a platoon of the 7th Division of the New Regiment that was attacking the Devil's Bunker in front of him, and said to the three battalion commanders under him.

The three battalion commanders raised their binoculars and looked at them, only to see that the soldiers of the new regiment were advancing rapidly in a three-person combat group in a triangular offensive formation, and each soldier had a clear division of labor, attacking, covering, and supporting.

Although the Independent Regiment also practiced this tactic, most of the fighters of the Independent Regiment were veterans.

Even the recruits of the new regiment are so skilled in tactical coordination, how powerful are the main forces of the new regiment wearing steel helmets?

The thickened turret of the devil is not a certain unit to fight to the end, but the infantry of the new regiment and the independent regiment take turns to fight, but the artillery and flamethrowers are all new regiments and also take turns to fight.

After all, the Separate Regiment did not have heavy artillery and flamethrowers.

Kong Jie reprimanded the three infantry battalion commanders.

The three battalion commanders said one after another that they would definitely strengthen the training of the troops' tactical coordination when they returned to the base area after the battle was completed.

When he turned around, the corners of Kong Jie's mouth curled slightly, and then quickly regained his cold expression.

Although the weapons and ammunition in the pillboxes and turrets were basically burned out with a flamethrower, Li Yunlong said before the war that Ding Wei and Kong Jie could get a 20-mm machine gun for each end of a thickened pillbox or thickened turret.

Judging from the map, in the direction of Anhua County, the devils built 36 thickened pillboxes and turrets.

If the battle goes well, Kong Jie will be able to get 36 20mm cannons after the battle.

Of course, the machine gun can be exchanged for an equal amount of weapons and ammunition such as bazookas, 82-mm mortars, flamethrowers, etc.

If all are replaced with 82mm mortars, they can be regarded as a mortar regiment.

Our old Kong is going to get rich!

The first stage of the battle alone can make me and Lao Ding make a fortune, and Kong Jie is looking forward to the next battle more and more.

Under the continuous bombardment of the 150 mm heavy artillery, the smoke bombs appeared on the scene to blind the sight of the devil machine gunner, the devil had never seen this tactic, and he was a little confused for a while, while the devil was confused, the soldiers of the new regiment soon arrived in front of the bunker, and two long fire dragons rushed into the devil's bunker, and a few seconds later, the devil's screams came from the bunker.

The battle ended quickly.

"It's fun, it's a good fight!"

As the smoke cleared, in the field of view of the telescope, I saw that in less than 10 minutes, I saw another bunker being removed, and I suddenly had a bright smile on my face.

1 more machine gun in hand.

At this rate, it only takes half a day to get 36 machine guns.

"Heavy artillery and flamethrowers, not to mention a single thickened pillbox and turret, even the devil's fortress has to drink a big pot."

Kong Jie looked at the pillbox that had been removed in the distance, and smiled, his tone disdainful.

Then he shouted, "Give me the order and keep moving forward!" ”

At the same time, in the direction of Ping'an County, the troops under the command of Ding Wei were not slow to advance, and they had already killed 8 pillboxes and artillery towers.

……

Heyuan County.

The headquarters of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army.

The captain of the communication team, Saburo Mase, walked into the conference room and said with a pause: "Report to the commander of the division, the reconnaissance team sent out is back!" ”

Jing Guan asked sharply, "How is the situation?" ”

Saburo Mase said: "Not long after the reconnaissance team left the city, it was attacked by a small group of troops of the Eighth Route Army and retreated into the city!" ”

Jing Guan asked in a deep voice, "So, until now, I still don't know what happened outside the city, right?" ”

"Hey!"

Saburo Mase bowed his head, turned and walked out.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's almost certain now." Ishikawa Zhishui said: "This must be a ghost of the Eighth Road, maybe the Eighth Road is attacking the blockade line and attacking the imperial army to thicken the pillboxes and turrets!" ”

Jing Guancheng stared at the map and nodded, he thought the same thing.

However, Jing Guanqian didn't care too much, and even wanted to laugh a little: "It seems that Li Yunlong is quite anxious." ”

"yes!" Ishikawa Zhishui laughed, his tone was relaxed, and he said: "Li Yunlong must have known the news that the imperial army was building thicker turrets and pillboxes, so he was in such a hurry to attack the blockade line, because once all the pillboxes and turrets were built, the new regiment would have to pay a greater price if they attacked again." ”

"It's useless to be in a hurry." Jing Guan Yan snorted coldly and said: "The thickened and reinforced turrets built by the imperial army can defend against the attack of any weapon in the new regiment, if Li Yunlong wants to end them, he will fill them with human lives." ”

Jing Guanqian conservatively estimated that this wave should be able to kill at least two or three thousand soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Each pillbox and turret has at least 1 machine gun, and some pillboxes and turrets have 2 machine guns, which is in broad daylight and suitable for machine gunners.

According to previous experience, once the new regiment attacks, it must be dozens or hundreds of companies attacking dozens or hundreds of artillery towers at the same time.

These bunkers and turrets were built with financial and material resources, and it is not too much to kill 30 eight-way bunkers per thickened turret or bunker, right?

Jing Guan Yan seemed to see that the commendation was beckoning to him.

After arriving in the northwest of Shanxi, the 36th Division was almost always pressed and beaten by the new regiment, and suffered heavy losses.

Ishikawa Zhisuidao: "Your Excellency the division commander, have you applied for the aviation unit to send reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the blockade line and see the specific situation?" ”

"Makes sense." Jing Guan Yan nodded, "Immediately report to Commander Iwamatsu about our situation here and apply for a reconnaissance plane." ”

The flying squadron of the First Army had not yet been reorganized, and Iwamatsu Yoshio had to apply to the North China Front Command for reconnaissance planes.

The losses of the Japanese aviation units in the Taiyuan campaign were too serious, and the aviation units of the North China Front have not yet recovered their strength.

Jing Guanqian continued: "In addition, each county immediately sent a squadron of imperial troops and two battalions of imperial troops out of the city to reinforce and expand the results of the battle. ”

After the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was frustrated, it would definitely abandon the attack on the turrets and pillboxes.

However, he was still very cautious, fearing that the troops sent out would be ambushed by the new regiment, so he only sent a small number of Japanese troops out of the city to reinforce them.

Until now, Jing Guanqian is still very confident, with an expression of superiority in my face.

Not only to recreate a new group, but also to expand the results.
