Boom Boom Boom ......

The shells of the Separate Regiment, at a rate of nearly 200 rounds per minute, fell on the walls and exploded.

The devils and puppet soldiers who were defending on the city wall were suddenly blown up and cried for their fathers and mothers.

Rounds of shells fell one after another, and a series of dense fires and gunsmoke suddenly rose from the city wall of the county seat.

The towers on the city walls, after being hit by two shells, collapsed with a bang, and debris, wood chips and shrapnel swept through.

Not long after, under the destruction of dense artillery shells, the wall of the southern city was blasted out of three U-shaped gaps by the artillery group of the independent regiment.

The artillery group of the independent regiment also determined the firing elements according to the method of observation, so it was very accurate, and most of the shells fell on the city wall.

Only a small number of shells flew into and outside the city.

However, most of the people in the county were mobilized and moved, followed to northern Shaanxi and returned to northwest Shanxi, so there were not many people in the city.

Under the cover of shelling.

Guan Dashan led the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment into the attack position.

Under this kind of artillery fire saturation attack, Kong Jie didn't have the heart to play any tentative attack with the devils, and sent the strongest battalion of the independent regiment to launch a fierce attack, preparing to enter the city in a wave of attacks.

In the rear of the battalion, mortar positions were ready, and more than 40 60-mm mortars and 82-mm mortar groups were ready to provide artillery support to the battalion.

Guan Dashan put a steel helmet on his head and fastened it to his chin with a strap.

"Give me a gun!"

Guan Dashan took the M3 submachine gun from the guard's hand, reluctantly pulled the bolt, held the M3 submachine gun in one hand, and lay down in the attack position to wait for the shelling to end.

Beside him or behind him, the warriors followed with the bolts of their guns, and the sound of rattling rang out.

The soldiers stared at the city wall, and the crazy killing intent in their eyes could be felt from afar.

Behind the commando team, a platoon of fighters was flanked by long ladders.

Although artillery fire can collapse the city walls, the collapsed walls often take the shape of a gap, and in many cases only half of them collapse.

If you want to destroy the lower half of the cannon, you either have to call the artillery to fire accurately, or pull the cannon close to aim for a direct fire.

Long ladders are required to climb over walls and over houses to fight enemies.

To earn 150-mm howitzers and 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, the separate regiments were well prepared.

In the field of vision of the artillery mirror, Kong Jie saw that the city wall of Zuoxian County had been blown to shreds, and two more gaps had been blown up.

Kong Jie smiled with satisfaction.

Immediately, Kong Jie shouted loudly: "Pass my order, the artillery battalion immediately stop the shelling, and the first battalion will rush into the city for Lao Tzu and slaughter all the little devils!" ”

The regimental correspondent immediately gave instructions with a walkie-talkie.

As Kong Jie's order was issued, the artillery battalion gradually stopped firing, and the sound of artillery gradually became sporadic until it completely disappeared.

Guan Dashan immediately jumped up from the position and shouted: "Comrades, follow me!" ”

A battalion of assault teams armed with submachine guns roared, followed behind Guan Dashan, and ran towards the city wall while shooting at the city wall with submachine guns.

In the rear, the fighters carrying ladders followed closely.

After that, the main force of the first battalion was the main force, which means that Guan Dashan personally led the assault team to charge.

"Da Da Da ......"

On the city wall after being bombarded by shells, the devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun and Taisho Type 11 light machine gun screamed wildly.

Six firing points erupted long tongues of fire, and a rain of bullets poured down under the walls.

Although the city wall of the county town was not designed to build a defensive artillery hole, and the artillery bombardment of the independent regiment killed and injured some of the devils and puppet soldiers, the devils had reinforcements under the inner city wall at any time.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the machine gunners of the devils carried the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Taisho Type 11 light machine gun up the city wall and fired at the Eighth Route Army under the city.

In an instant, more than a dozen fighters of the first battalion of the independent regiment fell in a pool of blood.

"Hidden!"

With Guan Dashan's order, the soldiers prostrate and hide one after another, avoiding the condescending rain of bullets and heavy machine guns of the devils on the city wall.

"Mortars, need mortar fire reinforcements, what are you waiting for?"

He took the walkie-talkie from the guard and immediately called to the mortar position.

"Coming soon!"

An unhurried voice came from the walkie-talkie.

As soon as the words fell, a sharp whistling sound sounded above the heads of Guan Dashan and the soldiers of the first battalion.

The whistling sounded from far and near, over the heads of a battalion of attacking troops, and landed on the walls.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Immediately, there was a series of rapid and dense explosions on the city wall, and fireballs and gunpowder smoke rose suddenly.

Although the power of mortars is not as great as that of mountain guns and howitzers, the artillery support of mortars can not only kill the devils on the city wall, but also reduce the chance of your own soldiers being accidentally injured.

After three rounds of mortar shelling, all the devil machine guns on the city walls were silent.

Even the sound of the devils and the puppet army rifles has become extremely sporadic.

Guan Dashan and the soldiers of the first battalion were all excited when they saw this scene.

There is still a battle supported by artillery fire, and it is the most comfortable to fight.

Since the independent regiment became rich, the soldiers of the independent regiment have never appeared in the face of the devil's artillery fire and the rain of machine gun bullets.

If the attack does not go well, use the walkie-talkie to call for artillery support.

And it was artillery fire cover, not precision shelling.

A machine gun fire point like this devil on the city wall can be taken out by a good mortar with three shots, and a sharpshooter with a maximum of two shots.

However, the Eighth Route Army did not play precise artillery bombardment with the devils, but was covered by artillery fire as soon as it came up.

Don't play imaginary.

And the effect of artillery coverage is naturally much better than accurate shelling.

Five rounds of artillery bombardment were carried out, not only killing all the devil machine gunners and machine gun fire points, but also most of the devils and puppet army riflemen on the city wall.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Rush!"

"Fuck the little devil of the dog day!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the devil's firepower became sparse and sporadic, Guan Dashan jumped up, and the submachine gun in his hand fired reluctantly at the battlements of the city wall.

The few remaining riflemen of the devils and the puppet army were suppressed.

The devils and puppet armies guarding the gap were also defeated.

The fighters of the second echelon quickly set up the ladder, and the fighters of the assault team swarmed up the ladder.

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the assault team either poured into the city walls of the county or fought their way into the city along the gaps.

The battalion that attacked the city first, did not rush to attack the depth of the county seat, but infiltrated along the city wall, infiltrated in a roundabout way, killed the ghosts and puppet troops on the city wall, opened the city gate, and then fought in depth from four directions, compressed the enemy in the center, and finally cleaned up.

For the average Eighth Route Army troops, the city wall is a difficult bone to gnaw.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, which lacked firepower to attack the heavily defended county town of the Japanese army, would have to suffer huge casualties just by capturing the city wall.

Therefore, the general Eighth Route Army troops were reluctant to attack the county seat, but to ambush in the field.

However, for the independent regiment, the city wall of the county town is useless, and if ten rounds of artillery shells cannot collapse, then twenty or thirty rounds of bombardment.

With the large forces of the independent regiment marching into the county seat.

In less than four hours, the battle was completely over.

The puppet soldiers only symbolically fired a few shots and chose to surrender, and a small number of devils also chose to surrender when they saw that they couldn't be defeated.

Originally, there were only two squadrons of devils in the city, and a squadron was arranged on the city wall, and one squadron was fought in the streets, which was not enough for independent group killing.

Yes.

The independent regiment completely annihilated two squadrons of the Japanese army and one battalion of the puppet army.

Immediately afterwards, Kong Jie led the independent regiment to recover the other two county towns in the defense area in one go, and completely annihilated the devils and the puppet army.

When Kong Jie made a move on the devils and the puppet army.

Ding Wei's side was not idle, and it took five days to capture the three county towns in the defense area.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei both tasted the sweetness, and looked forward to the next time the devil and the puppet army would continue to occupy the county seat in their defense area.

……

Southeast of Jin.

Taiyue Military Region.

386 Brigade Brigade Headquarters.

"I heard that the head of the headquarters allocated four more 150-mm howitzers to the division commander."

Deputy Brigade Commander Han held the porcelain cup, took a sip of water and said.

The deputy brigade commander had just returned from a small meeting at the headquarters, so he was very clear about it.

"4 more 150mm howitzers?"

The brigade commander hurriedly raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes and expression were full of envy:

"Last time, the head of the headquarters allocated a tank company to the division commander, and it was only a few days ......"

Although the 386th Brigade also has a tank company, they are all Douding tanks captured from the Japanese army, and compared with the tanks handed over to the headquarters by Li Yunlong, they are very crotch-pulling.

The tank at the division headquarters did not even have more than 10 tank companies at the top of the brigade headquarters.

"Li Yunlong turned it in?" Chief of Staff Zhou on the side opened his eyes wide.

But after asking, Chief of Staff Zhou felt that his words were a bit redundant.

In addition to Li Yunlong, who else in the Eighth Route Army can get a 150mm howitzer to hand in?

The brigade commander also regretted it a little, this Li Yunlong was originally his confidant and favorite general, and he knew that this kid could make such a fortune, so he talked to the headquarters more about the conditions at the beginning.

For example, one of the heavy weapons handed over by Li Yunlong later was allocated to the 386 Brigade, instead of using an artillery regiment to let the new regiment be directly under the headquarters.

A long-term business is much more valuable than a one-shot deal.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now.

Deputy Brigade Commander Han continued: "This time, in addition to handing over 5,000 tons of combat materials, Li Yunlong handed over four 203-mm heavy howitzers. ”

After listening to this, the brigade commander's mentality became a little broken, and his tone suddenly rose: "5,000 tons of combat materials, 4 203-mm heavy howitzers? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou couldn't help but gasp: "Li Yunlong, this kid is so rich? ”

Not long ago, the new regiment handed over 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition and four 203-mm heavy howitzers and more than 500 20-mm machine guns to the headquarters.

How long has it been?

Another 5,000 tons of combat materiel and 4 203-mm heavy howitzers.

The brigade commander regretted it more and more: "If we had known this, we should not have easily agreed to the headquarters to let the new regiment be directly under the headquarters." ”

At present, Li Yunlong handed over weapons, ammunition, combat materials, 150-mm howitzers, 203-mm heavy howitzers, and tanks to the headquarters, all of which did not have the share of the 386 Brigade.
