Zhao Jiayu.

Regiment headquarters.

Zhao Gang looked at the tone of Li Yunlong's speech, and knew that this dog thing had come up with an idea again.

So, Zhao Gang asked with a smile: "Lao Li, I know that you are preparing to fight the devil plane again, let's say, what good idea do you think of again?" ”

"The devil's plane is in the sky, it doesn't dive to attack, it's difficult for our anti-aircraft guns and machine guns to hit, Lao Zhao, tell me, how do we deal with the devil's plane?"

Li Yunlong sold a pass and asked Zhao Gang rhetorically.

Zhao Gang said: "I know that your kid is testing me again, the devil bomber flies high, the machine gun is out of reach, but the 37mm anti-aircraft gun can be obtained, but the mobility is not good, and it is relatively scattered, not to mention the new second regiment and the independent regiment, there is no 37mm anti-aircraft gun, unless you use the method of fishing, let the devil pilot dive and attack, otherwise it is too difficult to shoot it." ”

The original new regiment had a total of 21 37-mm anti-aircraft guns.

This time, he captured three county towns and Datong, and earned 12 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, and killed 12 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, making a total of 24 37-mm anti-aircraft guns.

After half of this batch of anti-aircraft guns was handed over to the headquarters, the new regiment left 12 guns, and the original equipment was a total of 33.

At present, the reception has been completed, and the equipment is used intensively by anti-aircraft artillery battalions.

At present, the new regiment is building a large number of defensive positions, but there are only 33 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, and it is still not enough to protect so many defensive positions.

Li Yunlong said: "If you go fishing, you can only succeed once or twice at most, and the devil pilot is not a fool, so you can't be fooled, right?" ”

"So what do you say?" Zhao Gang said, "According to observation, the devil plane flew from the south, which means that it took off from Taiyuan Airport, you don't want to shell Taiyuan Airport again, right?" ”

With a smile, Li Yunlong said: "That's right, I just want to shell Taiyuan Airport again." ”

"Now the question is." Zhao Gang said in a deep voice, "Since the Battle of Taiyuan, the devils have obviously strengthened their vigilance against our northwest Jinxi, in addition to building a lot of thickened pillboxes and turrets around Taiyuan, they have also built a lot of masonry turrets on both sides of the road and railway in the south, and it is very difficult to quietly transport cannons and shells to the vicinity of Taiyuan." ”

"It's difficult, but it's not very difficult."

Li Yunlong stared at the map and shook his head, and continued: "Lao Zhao, you see, this time we sent troops and militia from various divisions to launch a sabotage attack on the devil's Beitongpu railway and highway, and the results were not small, the Beitongpu railway was basically paralyzed, and many artillery towers and pillboxes on the highway were pulled out by us, and there are also blockhouses and turrets on the highway, which are only about 40 kilometers away from Taiyuan. ”

"The north city wall of Taiyuan is less than 10 kilometers away from Xincheng Airport."

"And our 150 mm caliber howitzer, using extended-range shells, has an effective range of 19 kilometers."

"In other words, we only need to uproot the bunkers and turrets on the road for more than 10 kilometers."

"Using a 150mm howitzer to fire extended-range shells, you can get the Xincheng Airport outside the north of Taiyuan City."

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, but he forgot the extended-range shell of the large-caliber heavy artillery.

Of the 150mm shells provided by Boss Chen, one-tenth of them were extended-range shells, but they were always kept in storage and never used.

This is finally where it comes in handy.

The German 150mm howitzer given by Boss Chen is also the first artillery in the world to use extended-range shells, and the system has also improved it, even without extended-range shells, the effective range can reach 15 kilometers.

"And when are you going to do it?" The corners of Zhao Gang's mouth curled slightly and asked.

The base area of the new regiment is more than 100 kilometers away from Taiyuan.

If the troops were marching normally, they would have to walk for two days.

But the new regiment was armed with 200 trucks and was a few hours away from heading south along the road.

This time, he killed Jing Guan and earned another 20 jeeps and 100 Jiefang trucks.

Li Yunlong handed over 20 jeeps and 40 Jiefang trucks to the headquarters.

However, this time, the 36th Division was severely damaged, and a total of more than 40 94 trucks were captured, plus 60 Jiefang trucks left behind, and more than 100 original vehicles.

At present, the number of cars in the new regiment has exceeded 200, and Li Yunlong has also formally formed an automobile battalion.

Each Jiefang brand truck can transport 4 tons, and the 94 truck of the devil has a weight of 1.5 tons, which means that the automobile battalion of the new regiment can transport more than 500 tons of combat materials at a time.

"The sooner the better!"

Li Yunlong's tone was indomitable: "This little devil's bombers continue to harass us to build dark forts and positions, this matter can't be delayed, if we can blow up this batch of devils' bombers, when the devils start to sweep and attack, our pressure will be reduced." ”

At present, not only the new 1st regiment, but also the new 2nd regiment and the independent regiment are also equipped with American-style equipment.

In terms of individual weapons and equipment, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province was more luxurious than the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army's A division.

In terms of artillery firepower, it can suppress the devil's artillery.

Even if Duan Peng and their mission go well, the new regiment will also be about to obtain a batch of tanks with advanced performance.

However, the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province did not have air superiority, and even if it was equipped with a large number of air defense weapons, the devil's aircraft posed a great threat to the Eighth Route Army.

】

Li Yunlong remembered very well that during the Battle of Scarlet, the Japanese army at a small airfield in Yangmingbao with more than 20 planes in one flying team could inflict more than 1,000 casualties on the national army every day.

In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army dispatched more than 200 aircraft.

In the campaign in which Li Yunlong led his troops to attack Taiyuan, if the new regiment was not equipped with enough machine guns, and the target of the devil's plane was the artillery position, otherwise the infantry of the Eighth Route Army would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

As for the Japanese army's sweep of the base areas in the northwest of Shanxi, Li Yunlong estimated that the number of planes dispatched by the devils would probably not be less than 100.

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement: "Not only can you blow up some planes, but you can also blow up the devil's runway." ”

Suddenly, Zhao Gang's eyes flashed, pointed to the map and said: "Lao Li, look, the nearest airport from our base area in the northwest of Shanxi Province is Datong Airport, the three airports of Xincheng and Wusu in Taiyuan, all of which are more than 100 kilometers away from us. 100 planes is a thousand. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, and his expression was rarely a little dignified: "Moreover, even if we blow up the airport runway this time, after more than a month, the devil will be able to repair the runway again." ”

Although the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province have been greatly strengthened in terms of air defense firepower compared with the Taiyuan Campaign.

But this time it was mainly a positional war and a movement war with the Japanese army, and it was on the defensive side, and the devil's plane posed a great threat to the Eighth Route Army.

The airport in Datong had been easily destroyed by the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

However, in order to attack the base area in the northwest of Shanxi, the devils will definitely repair the airport within more than a month.

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "If only we could blow up the devil's plane when the devil launches a sweeping attack, and by the way, blow up the devil's airport." ”

"It's almost hard to do." Zhao Gang shook his head, "When the time comes, as soon as the devils attack, we will definitely be in a situation of being surrounded by several sides, and it is impossible to transport the shells and cannons out, unless..."

Li Yunlong asked, "Unless what?" ”

Zhao Gang said: "Didn't we have an air support that could be used?" Let Brother Chen's plane bomb the airport, blow up all the planes and runways of the three airports of Datong, Xincheng and Wusu, and blow up the planes and runways, what do I think the devil will bomb us? ”

One opportunity for air support was 30 bombers and 10 escort fighters.

It was more than enough to bomb these three airfields in three parts.

Li Yunlong also intends to use it in this anti-sweeping operation, and he is preparing to use it at a critical moment in the campaign.

Suddenly, Grand Master Li's head flashed and said, "I have a way, when the devils attack, I can blow up the devils' planes and airports without using air support!" ”

Zhao Gang hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Let's transport artillery, shells and artillery to the vicinity of the airport and hide them, and when the devils start to sweep, the artillery will push out the cannons, and the special forces will guide the shelling of the devil's airport." ”

Zhao Gang thought with an expression: "The idea is very good, but the question is how to hide it?" Where is it hidden? Cannons aren't easy to hide. ”

"Dig a tunnel!" Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and said, "Hide the cannons, shells and artillery in the mountain tunnel, install tracks and mechanisms in the tunnel, and point the tunnel mouth in the direction of the airport, so that the cannon mouth can be opened with the tunnel stretched out, and the airport can be shelled under the guidance of the special forces, and the shells will be completed in the fastest time, and then the tunnel will be blown up and retreated!" ”

"The feasibility is very high!" Zhao Gang thought about it carefully and said with a little admiration.

He thought to himself, this Li Yunlong is really a natural tactician in terms of fighting, and it is a new idea when his brain turns.

Li Yunlong said: "In addition to this preparation, we also have to gather the carpenters in the base area and use wood to build mountain cannons and howitzers on a one-to-one basis. ”

Zhao Gang instantly understood Li Yunlong's thoughts: "Lao Li, what do you mean, use fake cannons to catch fish for devil planes?" ”

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, "If the artillery fails to blow up the plane and the airport, or there are devil planes in other airports, these fake guns can come in handy, this is a second-hand preparation." ”

The mountain cannon and howitzer made of wood are painted in the same color as the cannon, and then swing it like that, which can definitely achieve the effect of being fake.

When the devil's plane found out, they must have swarmed and dived towards the artillery position.

The anti-aircraft artillery battalion and machine gun battalion of the new regiment deployed 33 anti-aircraft guns and 200 machine guns around the false artillery positions.

Let the devil plane have no return.
