Heyuan County.

Jing Guan reluctantly stood up from the chair mountain and looked at the communications staff officer who reported:

"The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is suspected of being equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery?"

His tone and expression all questioned the words of the communications staff officer.

How is this possible that a new regiment is armed with large-caliber heavy artillery?

His thoughts are the same as those of Hanaya, the 36th Division has been blocking the new regiment, how can the Eighth Route get large-caliber heavy artillery? And through what channels were they transported to the base area?

You must know that large-caliber heavy artillery is not comparable to mountain artillery and 105 howitzers, mountain artillery can be disassembled and transported by mules and horses, and 105-caliber howitzers can be pulled by mules.

Large-caliber heavy artillery has high requirements for the road, and the maneuver needs to be towed by large trucks.

If the Eighth Route Army is really equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery, how can the problems of roads, trucks and gasoline be solved?

"Hey!"

The communications staff officer said: "Yes, but it is a pity that the reconnaissance plane lost contact when it was taking photos at low altitude to confirm it, and it is very likely that it will be shot down by the new regiment." ”

The reconnaissance plane flew over Heyuan County, and Jingguan also heard the roar of the plane.

I didn't expect to hear such news after just over half an hour.

Jing Guanqian asked: "The reconnaissance plane detected this thing, is there any other situation?" ”

"According to observers, small units of the Eighth Route surrounded all the thickened pillboxes and turrets, but there was no fighting."

The communication staff said: "Also, the main force of the Eighth Route in the southeast of Jin is going north in two groups, one is on the Baijin Line, with at least 50,000 people, and the main force of the Eighth Route is at least 30,000 people at the Yuliao Kilometer!" In addition, there is intelligence that the Central Army of China in Henan Province is preparing to cross the Yellow River in the north. ”

"Commander Yan Song ordered that our department must strengthen its defense, so as not to let the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army take advantage of the loophole."

Iwamatsu Yoshio narrowed his eyes when he heard this, his eyes were deep, and his brain was spinning rapidly.

Something really isn't right.

Is Armageddon about to begin?

In a decisive battle with the First Army of the Imperial Army, does the Chinese army have that strength?

There are two brigades stationed on the Baijin line, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 41st Division are stationed in Taiyuan.

The main force of 50,000 Eight Roads wants to capture Taiyuan? Wish for the moon!

Also, with the rabble of the Central Army, the idea of daring to hit Zhongtiao Mountain is simply looking for death.

Jing Guan, who had fought with the Central Army for two years, knew too well the combat effectiveness of the Central Army.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander." "Taiyuan and Zhongtiao Mountain are too far away from us, and now our eyes should be on Li Yunlong and Xinyituan." ”

"According to the intelligence provided by the observers of the reconnaissance aircraft, it is not unlikely that the Eighth Road will be equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery."

"The Eighth Route first besieged the turrets and pillboxes with small troops, and surrounded them without fighting."

"Then, the large-caliber heavy artillery maneuvered along the road, knocking out the thickened pillboxes and turrets one by one with a large caliber."

"The thickness of the bunker and turret is only 2.5 meters, and if the new regiment gives up the shells, it will definitely be able to eliminate the bunker and turret."

After a wave of cutting corners, the thickness of the pillboxes and turrets was drastically reduced, and the steel bars were also insufficient, which led to a reduction in defense.

If the bunkers and turrets are pulled out by the heavy artillery of the new regiment, those ordinary reinforced concrete pillboxes and turrets around the county town will definitely not be able to stop the new regiment.

Listening to Ishikawa's analysis, Jing Guan's face suddenly became gloomy: "Ishikawa-kun, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Ishikawa Zhishuidao: "My suggestion is to withdraw all the imperial troops in the ordinary pillboxes and turrets around the county town into the county seat, and retain the living forces to fight the offensive and defensive battles of the county town. ”

"What do you mean, Ishikawa-kun?"

Jing Guan Yan was suddenly taken aback: "The new regiment will attack the county seat?" ”

"It's not impossible." Ishikawa said in a deep voice.

"I don't think it's likely." Jing Guan Yan waved his hand and said, "The new regiment is only about 10,000 people at most, and most of them are recruits, even if it is equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery, pulling out the thickened pillboxes and turrets is already the limit of the new regiment." ”

In his opinion, the attack launched by Li Yunlong was probably in response to the offensive operation of the main force of the Eighth Route and the Central Army.

Ishikawa insisted: "If you are not afraid of anything, you are afraid of 10,000, and you must make corresponding countermeasures." ”

"In the face of Li Yunlong, we must be extremely careful, Your Excellency the division commander, we must prepare early."

Jing Guan's eyes narrowed slightly, recalling that the 36th Division was defeated by the new regiment and suffered heavy losses, and it was indeed impossible to be careless in the face of Li Yunlong, so he nodded and said: "The living force of the imperial army needs to be preserved, but the pillboxes and turrets around the county town cannot be easily abandoned, only 2 imperial soldiers are left in each bunker and turret, and the rest are replaced by the imperial army, and the rest of the imperial army is all withdrawn into the county seat." ”

As Jing Guan, who has been fighting with the puppet army in Jinnan for nearly two years, he knows too well what kind of people the puppet army is.

It is a group of wall grass, once the situation is unfavorable, they will either open up directly or surrender directly, and they have no will to fight at all.

In the face of the offensive of the Eighth Route Army, unless you point a gun at the head of the puppet army, they will be honest and obedient.

"Hey!" Ishikawa lowered his head and hurriedly ordered the communications staff to contact the devils and puppet troops who went out of the city to reinforce and change guards with the devils in the gun towers and pillboxes around the county seat.

The main force of the new regiment has been dispatched, a squadron and two battalions of puppet troops, and then continue to reinforce the Eighth Route Army.

If the thickened pillboxes and artillery towers are eliminated, the ordinary pillboxes and artillery towers around the county town will definitely not be able to stop the offensive of the new regiment.

But.

The life of the puppet army is not worth much to the devil, and it is suitable to be cannon fodder.

At this time, there was only about an hour left before dark, and even if the devils found that the new regiment was equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery, they did not have that time to send planes to bomb it.

As for the large-caliber heavy artillery carried by the division commander and brigade commander, it was concealed from the beginning and was not pulled to the road to march.

So the reconnaissance plane of the devils did not see it.

After all, there are trucks towing heavy artillery, shells and artillery that can catch up with large forces at any time.

In the northwest battlefield of Jin, more than half of the thickened pillboxes and artillery towers have been eliminated by the Eighth Route Army.

The battle went well, and almost all the devils in the thickened pillboxes and turrets that were taken off were burned to charcoal.

Not long after dark, Ding Wei and Kong Jie sent a telegram that they had pulled out all the thickened pillboxes and turrets.

Immediately, Li Yunlong ordered Ding Wei and Kong Jie to immediately stop the attack, and arrived at the designated place to ambush, and Li Yunlong was going to surround the point to send reinforcements.

At the same time, Li Yunlong also ordered the automobile soldiers to pull all the large-caliber heavy artillery to the county seat of Heyuan.

In order to smoothly implement the plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements, it is necessary to put pressure on the regimental headquarters of the 36th Division in Heyuan County and Jingguan.

Let Jing Guanqian feel that if the other two wings do not reinforce again, Heyuan County will be captured by the new regiment.

"Report to the regiment commander, the telegram just sent by the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment said that the number of thickened turrets and pillboxes were pulled out, plus the thickened pillboxes and turrets that our new regiment pulled out."

"After about seven hours of fighting, a total of 110 thickened pillboxes and turrets were removed."

At the temporary command post of the new regiment, Wang Dehou summarized the data and reported to Li Yunlong with a smile on his face.

This wave of business is simply bloody!

Pulling out 110 thickened pillboxes and turrets means that this wave has earned 1,100 machine guns.

What is this concept?

Even if the new regiment handed over half of the number of headquarters, it would be 550 machine guns!

The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth also curled slightly, this wave of business not only earned 1,100 machine guns, but also the steel helmets of the new regiment were also in charge of Boss Chen.

"1,100 machine guns, let's get rich!"

Xing Zhiguo's face turned into a chrysanthemum.

As a comrade-in-arms of Li Yunlong's Fourth Front Army, Xing Zhiguo's qualifications were only a little worse than those of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

But he also fought all the way in the rain of bullets, and he used to live a hard life, but since he arrived in the new regiment, he has seen what it means to be rich.

In the past, it was one's own fear of insufficient firepower, but now it is to make the enemy afraid of insufficient firepower.

Li Yunlong carefully calculated, the gap of the new regiment is about 560 bazookas, and each platoon has to be equipped with 2 flamethrowers, and the gap is about 560.

Even if this wave earns 550 bazookas, if you want to equip each class with one bazooka and each row with two flamethrowers, the number is still not enough.

"These weapons and ammunition can be received after the war, but the steel helmet can be received first."

"The fighters are waiting to be used."

Grand Master Li was very calm, he didn't know how many times he had made such a fortune, and only Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou would be so excited.

Removing all the thickened bunkers and turrets means that this business has been completed, and Boss Chen can provide delivery services at any time.

The big war is imminent, and Li Yunlong naturally wants to send the steel helmet to the hands of the soldiers.

At present, only the main force of the new regiment is equipped with steel helmets, and the divisional units of the new regiment, the new second regiment and the independent regiment are not yet equipped.

Li Yunlong immediately looked at Wang Dehou and asked, "Chief of Staff, calculate immediately, in addition to the main force of the new regiment, how many steel helmets do we still lack?" ”

Wang Dehou immediately responded: "I have already calculated, there are still 18,600 steel helmets left." ”

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Then plus the new second regiment and the independent regiment, it is 26,600 steel helmets." ”

"You include the fighters of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment." Zhao Gang asked, "Will Brother Chen agree?" ”

"Why don't you agree?" Li Yunlong said, "The new second regiment and the independent regiment each have 4,000 people, although they didn't all come to fight this time, but Ding Wei and Kong Jie are under my command, so it means that the new second regiment and the independent regiment belong to our new regiment The battle sequence, it is very reasonable to issue steel helmets to the commanders and fighters of the new second regiment and the independent regiment, right?" ”

Zhao Gang couldn't find a reason to refute it, but he always felt that something was wrong.

At that moment, Li Yunlong took out a radio intercom to call Chen Feng, saying in code that the business had been completed, and he hoped that Chen Feng could deliver the goods as soon as possible, and the goods were 26,600 hats.

Chen Feng knew very well what the hat Li Yunlong was talking about, but he was a little puzzled about the number, and after Li Yunlong's explanation, Chen Feng readily agreed.

After hanging up the intercom, Li Yunlong said in a happy tone: "Haha, Boss Chen agreed, he has already arranged for delivery overnight, Deputy Regiment Commander Xing, after the car pulls the large-caliber heavy artillery over, arrange all the cars to go to the airport to transport steel helmets, and I want to ensure that every soldier wears steel helmets before dawn!" ”

"Yes!" Xing Zhiguo stepped forward to respond.

At the same time, the fighters of the 1st Battalion and the Heavy Artillery Battalion at the front continued to attack and advance.

However, the thickened pillboxes and turrets have all been pulled out, and what remains are ordinary reinforced concrete pillboxes and turrets.

In order to speed up the speed, Li Yunlong ordered to directly mount the 150-mm heavy artillery and aim at ordinary pillboxes and turrets to fire directly.

These bunkers and turrets are also considered business, but only one-fifth of the thickened bunkers and turrets.

The 150-mm heavy artillery exerted its due power, and the high-explosive shells were fired, almost knocking down a pillbox and a turret with one shot.

Large-caliber heavy artillery is not convinced!
