"The second line of defense of the 10th Division must rely on these thickened pillboxes and turrets to build civil fortifications and dig tunnels."

The command of the new 1st regiment.

Li Yunlong stared at the map on the table and frowned slightly, this is a topographic map of three nearby counties.

Each dot on the map along the road represents a thickened bunker and turret.

These thickened pillboxes and turrets have been captured once, there are more than 100 in total, and the price of each thickened bunker or turret is 10 machine guns.

Of course, the machine gun is a unit of measurement and can be exchanged for other fire equipment.

The new regiment used civil fortifications, tunnels, anti-slopes, and thickened bunkers to block the 10th Division outside Dagu Town.

If the devils learn the new regiment's style of play, and the devils use the tactics of the new regiment to defend against the attack of the new regiment, then things will become more troublesome.

The reason why Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang kept these thickened pillboxes and turrets was that they hoped that the devils and puppet troops would enter these thickened bunkers and turrets again next time.

The new regiment will shoot it down again, that is, more than 1,000 20-mm machine guns.

This is more than 1,000 20mm machine guns, Yan Laoxi has to be crazy about it when he knows it, and Lao Jiang has to breathe quickly when he knows it, and scolds Niang Xipi.

Okamura Ninji was extremely angry when he found out, and even the Japanese army didn't have so much good equipment.

This time, the devil puppet army relied on these thickened pillboxes and turrets to defend as Li Yunlong wished, but these were the devils of the 10th Division, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the 36th Division.

Moreover, the devils of the 10th Division are likely to use the tactics of combining tunnels, pillboxes or turrets with anti-slopes.

Li Yunlong also felt the pressure.

After all, this kind of tactic has been tested in actual combat, and only those who have attacked it know how powerful it is.

In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the US army was as strong as the US army, and it suffered from it, not to mention the Japanese army who was beaten by the US army.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment now is not comparable to that of the attack on the 36th Division.

Equipped with 2 tank battalions and 31 150mm heavy guns, it has strong combat effectiveness and can walk sideways in North China.

"Or?" Seeing this, Xing Zhiguo said tentatively, "Let Advisor Chen deliver that Father's Hammer first, and use Father's Hammer to knock out all these pillboxes and turrets?" ”

"That's a solution!"

Chief of Staff Wang nodded in agreement: "It may take a lot of effort for the 150mm howitzer to hit the thickened pillboxes and turrets, but that father's hammer can kill one with one shot." ”

Zhao Gang's face was also full of expectations, heavy howitzers of more than 200 calibers, he had never seen them in his life, and he had only seen them in photos.

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng: "Consultant Chen, can you deliver the goods now?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Chen Feng nodded, "But I'm afraid it's too late, if you want to reluctantly operate the Father's Hammer, the artillery will need at least five days to half a month of training time, and your artillery may not have this time." ”

Operate a big killer weapon like the Father's Hammer, not a mortar, nor a 75mm mountain artillery.

If you want to be proficient in operation, you need at least one to three months of operation training, as well as live-fire training.

At present, the new regiment does not have artillery that can immediately put the Father's Hammer into battle after receiving the Hammer of the Father.

"Forget it then!"

"Wait until this battle is over to receive the goods."

Grand Master Li shook his head and decided to wait until the battle was over before receiving the goods.

A father's hammer, that is, the B4 heavy howitzer, weighs 15.8 tons, and the next troops will be transferred to the Hengshan area, and it is really troublesome to run away with these big guys.

In addition, after receiving the goods, you can't immediately put them into battle, so it's best to wait for the battle to end and return to the northwest of Shanxi to receive the goods.

And.

Li Yunlong actually didn't want to expose this big killer weapon so early, and was ready to save it until the next attack on Taiyuan before revealing it, which would definitely give the little devil a big surprise.

On the other hand, Li Yunlong was actually reluctant to destroy the thickened bunkers and turrets built by these devils now.

After all, it is more than 1,000 machine guns to capture them at one time, and if you dig up the roots of leeks, how will you make a fortune in the future?

Xing Zhiguo said: "Then I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight now!" ”

At the beginning, everyone didn't expect that the devils would actually use tunnel tactics, and I am afraid that even the devils themselves did not expect that a good offensive battle would become a defensive war, and maybe it would eventually evolve into a defense battle of the 10th Division.

The Devil Engineer Wing is professional in earthwork, and it can be seen from the fact that it took only half of the night to dig the trenches to nearly 40 meters of the forward position of the new regiment.

If the devil's sappers really want to dig a tunnel, the speed should be very fast.

"Let's go to the battlefield first and take a look at the situation!" Li Yunlong said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Li Yunlong asked Huang Erhu to prepare two jeeps and two trucks, ready to go to the front line of the battlefield to observe the battle situation.

Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong: "Lao Li, you go with the chief of staff, the deputy head of the regiment and Adviser Chen, I will organize the people and be ready to evacuate the base area at any time." ”

Chief of Staff Wang also said: "Then I will stay at the regiment headquarters, the regiment headquarters cannot be empty." ”

"Okay, then I'll go to the battlefield with Advisor Chen and the deputy head of the regiment to take a look!"

Li Yunlong tied up his armed belt, put the Golden Desert Eagle into his gun holster, and walked out of the regiment headquarters with Chen Feng and Xing Zhiguo.

Coming to the outside of the regimental headquarters, there were already two jeeps and two trucks ready, and the fighters of the guard battalion were loaded with live ammunition on the trucks.

However, Li Yunlong, Chen Feng and Xing Zhiguo jumped into one of the jeeps and drove towards the outside of Dagu Town, and the other two trucks quickly followed.

……

About 20 minutes later, three cars drove to the battalion headquarters of the 1st battalion.

As the devil puppet army retreated from the first line of defense, the attacking troops of the new regiment quickly pressed up.

After occupying the first line of defense of the devils, the attacking troops continued their offensive along the main roads and small roads.

Not only the infantry, but also the artillery and tank units all moved forward.

In the battalion headquarters of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, was wearing a steel helmet on his head and was gathering in front of a pair of artillery mirrors to observe the battlefield situation, when he suddenly heard a guard shouting a salute in his ears.

Zhang Dabiao turned his head and saw Li Yunlong, who also had a steel helmet on his head, walking in, followed by Chen Feng and Xing Zhiguo.

His expression was dazed, and he hurriedly saluted a standard military salute: "Regiment Commander, Advisor Chen, Deputy Regiment Commander!" ”

As soon as Li Yunlong saw Zhang Dabiao, he asked, "Dabiao, how is the situation now?" ”

"Captain, this little devil of the dog day has learned well."

Everyone came to the observation hole of the battalion headquarters, Li Yunlong came to the artillery mirror, and looked at the devil's position through the field of vision of the artillery mirror, Zhang Dabiao's voice sounded in his ears at the same time:

"The little devil used our tunnel tactics, plus the artillery of the bunker and the anti-slope, this position is really a bit difficult to fight."

"Just now, the second company tried to attack once, but it didn't take the devil's position, and our battalion is preparing to organize a second attack."

Looking through the telescope, I saw two small hills on both sides of the road in the distance.

There are one or two pillboxes and a gun tower on the half waist of the hill, and around the gun tower and the pillbox, some civil fortifications have been dug by the devil's sappers.

However, the location of the tunnel is not visible from here.

A pillbox and an artillery turret form a crossfire, which can implement a fire blockade within more than 400 meters of the road.

"Did you use a smoke bomb?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Used!" Zhang Dabiao nodded and said, "But it doesn't have much effect, the little devil has infantry around the turret, and there is artillery fire support on the anti-slope, and there will be two tanks to attack together next time." ”

"When is the offensive begin?" Li Yunlong asked again.

"Five minutes to go." Zhang Dabiao looked at the watch in his hand and said.

Li Yunlong nodded, immediately stopped talking, gave up his position, and asked Chen Feng and Xing Zhiguo to also take a look at the battlefield situation.

About 5 minutes later, the artillery of the new regiment began to operate, and the shells cut an arc through the sky and fell towards the positions of the devils and puppet troops.

With a series of explosions, it suddenly rose up in the devil formation, swept across, and the shock wave was wreaking havoc with shrapnel.

Although I know that the devils and the puppet army are not on the position, there are not many other things in the new group, that is, there are many shells.

More than 200 vehicles continuously sent shells from Zhaojiayu and Dagu Town to the artillery positions of each artillery group of the new regiment.

Taking advantage of the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers of the third company of the new regiment, under the leadership of the company commander Yang Chuanlin, two Leopard tanks took the lead, and the soldiers maintained a three-three combat attack formation and attacked the positions of the devils and the puppet army.

In the field of vision of the telescope, Li Yunlong saw the soldiers of the Third Company pressing towards the devil's position.

As the tank advanced, it continued to fire at the devil's bunkers and turrets, but the effect was not great.

Although the armor-piercing shells of the Leopard tank are very powerful, the reinforced concrete thickened pillbox turret of the devil has a thickness of 2.5 to 3 meters, and it cannot penetrate it.

Of course, if it were replaced with a Father's Hammer, a single cannonball would have blasted the thickened pillboxes and turrets to slag.

At this time, some 82mm mortars fired smoke grenades at the location of the Devil's Bunker and Gun Tower, blocking the view of the Devil's machine gunner in the pillbox and gun tower.

The infantry guns and mortars set up by the devils in the anti-slope positions opened fire, and the shells fell between the formations of the new attacking group, and the explosions continued to rise.

Although the fighters were scattered relatively widely, there were also a lot of mortars and infantry guns of the devils, and there were fighters who were hit by shrapnel and fell in pools of blood.

Li Yunlong knew that the devil's 75-mm mountain artillery had not yet been fired, otherwise it would cause greater casualties to the Third Company.
