Big Lonely Town.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

In this cold winter season, the sky in Jindi is still dark, and it snowed again last night, and the roads and roofs of houses are covered with a thick layer of snow.

But the real cold weather has not yet arrived, the snow is not thick, and the shoes crunch on the snow.

"Let's go!"

Li Yunlong looked up at the weather, then at the watch in his hand, exhaled a mouthful of white mist, and his voice was full of breath.

Crunch crunch......

A series of rubber-soled shoes rubbing against the snow sounded, and the soldiers carried their weapons on their backs, ammunition boxes, mules and military horses, and carried grain, canned food and other baggage.

Under the leadership of the platoon commanders of the battalions and companies, they headed for the predetermined location.

On this expedition, the new regiment dispatched two artillery battalions, namely the 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion, two cavalry battalions, the 1st Cavalry Battalion and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion.

Four main battalions and four recruit companies, each with nearly 2,000 men and each recruit company with 1,000 men.

The total strength is about 10,000.

The station of the new regiment is more than 200 kilometers away from Niangzi Pass, and there are many small roads to pass during this period, so this time the soldiers of the new regiment did not go by car, but went on foot.

Fortunately, the transport capacity of the new regiment was strong enough, with a large number of military horses and mule carts.

The 1st Artillery Battalion and the 2nd Artillery Battalion of the 1st Regiment, as well as the 2nd Artillery Battalion, carried only 75-mm mountain guns, and could not carry artillery above 105 mm.

However, the artillery firepower equivalent to two mountain artillery wings is enough to deal with the reinforcements of the devils.

Several members of the regiment headquarters saluted each other, and then Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo, under the protection of the security personnel, led the communication personnel into the gray torrent.

In this operation, the new regiment was a long-range attack, with no follow-up support and no friendly troops, and it was all up to the new regiment itself.

There was one long-range operation of this scale and nature last year.

At that time, it was still the early stage of the Battle of Zaoyi, and the new regiment was still stationed in the southeast of Shanxi, running 300 kilometers long distance, to ambush the Japanese army's 7th Tank Wing on the Tongpu Highway north of Taiyuan.

In that battle, the new regiment completely annihilated the 7th Wing of Japanese tanks, and earned two mountain artillery battalions, a total of 24 75mm mountain guns.

Hopefully, this time, the new regiment will also have a good harvest.

The new regiment still had a lot of things to do, so Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou stayed at the regiment headquarters, and Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo led the team to the Zhengtai Railway to do things.

It wasn't until the last unit disappeared from view that Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou let out a heavy breath and walked towards the regimental headquarters.

……

Five days later.

It's five o'clock in the morning.

It is about 2 kilometers north of Niangziguan Station.

Li Yunlong raised his binoculars and looked at Niangzi Pass, because the sky was not yet bright, he could only vaguely see the light reflected in the shooting hole of the turret.

"Regiment commander, the battalion and company commanders have arrived."

The guard Huang Erhu walked up to Li Yunlong and said in a low voice.

Li Yunlong walked to the position where the battalion and company commanders were assembled and looked at the battalion and company commanders.

"Act as planned."

After sweeping everyone around, Li Yunlong repeated the battle plan that had already been formulated:

"Shi Kezhong is responsible for leading the recruit companies to attack Niangzi Pass, and the offensive is strong, but don't force it, your main task is to let the recruits accumulate actual combat experience."

Shi Kezhong was the battalion commander of the New First Regiment Teaching Battalion, and was originally a battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army Teaching Regiment, and was transferred by the headquarters to the New First Regiment as the teaching battalion commander.

Then, Li Yunlong looked at several main battalion commanders:

"The 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, the 1st Artillery Battalion and the 1st Cavalry Battalion are ambushed here, biased in the beam ditch, ambushing the devils who are reinforcing from the direction of Yangquan."

"The third battalion, the fourth battalion, the second artillery battalion and the second cavalry battalion are ambushed in Longwangluo to ambush the devils who are reinforcing from the direction of Jingcheng County."

"Yes!" The main battalion commanders and recruit company commanders nodded in unison.

Each recruit company has 1,000 people, but the company commander, platoon commander and squad leader are all veterans, and the veterans take the recruits to the battlefield, Li Yunlong feels that there is no big problem.

"I'm in charge of directing the devils who ambushed the direction of Yangquan."

"Lao Xing, you are responsible for directing the ambush of the devils in the direction of Jingcheng County."

"When the devils enter the ambush circle, the artillery will fire first, and after the artillery fires, the infantry will fire, and if the devil infantry escapes, the cavalry will pursue them."

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed:

"We owe Boss Chen a quota of 5,000 devils, and this time we must pay it all back, and we will pay it back with the devils of the 37th Division!"

At present, Li Yunlong still owes Boss Chen a Japanese brigade and a business of a Japanese wing.

They were the cavalry equipment of 1,000 people in advance, and the business of providing materials such as steel and cement to Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

"Yes!" Everyone whispered in unison again.

Subsequently, the battalion and company commanders walked in the direction of their respective units and began to lead their troops towards the designated place.

……

It was nearly six o'clock in the morning.

There are already some devils in the Niangzi Pass who have started to get up and patrol.

However, most of the devils haven't gotten out of bed yet.

According to the intelligence detected by the Sword Squadron, the devils in the Niangzi Pass blew the bed horn on time at half past six.

However, at this time, two kilometers away from Niangzi Pass, four Japanese-style 94-style mountain guns had been erected.

The firepower of the attack on Niangziguan Station, in addition to the 94-type mountain artillery, there were also several mortars captured from the devils.

After all, there is a brigade of devils and a regiment of puppet soldiers in Niangzi Pass, and there are also cannon towers and half-buried bunkers.

If there is no relatively strong firepower to suppress, letting the recruits attack Niangzi Pass is to give people heads.

"Report to the battalion commander, mountain artillery and mortars are erected."

The artillery company commander of the training battalion said to the commander of the training battalion, Shi Kezhong: "There are enough shells, and you can fire at any time." ”

Battalion Commander Shi asked, "Have all the recruit companies entered the attack position?" ”

A Telegraph replied: "The company of recruits has entered the attack position!" ”

Battalion Commander Shi looked at the watch in his hand, there were still two minutes before the time of launching the general attack at six o'clock.

It was freezing on this day, the soldiers of the new regiment were all in the snow, and the devil puppet army was warm in the bed.

So, the artillery of the new regiment is pointed at the barracks of the devils.

The firepower of 4 75-mm mountain guns plus 8 mortars is equivalent to the size of an artillery battalion.

"Fire!"

"Put!"

When the hands on the watch pointed to six o'clock in the morning, Battalion Commander Shi gave the order to open fire.

The first round of disemboweling shells fell into the Niangzi Pass a few seconds later.

Boom Boom Boom ......

In the flash of red light, the smoke of the fierce explosion rose up, and the shock wave accompanied the rubble flying at any time.

Since the devil's barracks are a masonry structure, a slightly larger caliber mortar can be destroyed, not to mention four mountain guns.

The shelling did not stop, and the shells were continuously fired at the Niangzi Pass, and it didn't take long for the devils and puppet army barracks in the Niangzi Pass to be immediately drowned in the sea of gunsmoke and fire.

"Yaga!"

In a cannon tower, the captain of the devil brigade, Yoshida Zhou Shaozuo, looked at the barracks that was shelled and couldn't help but jump like thunder:

"Ninety-four mountain artillery? Type 97 mortar? Which enemy is shelling Niangzi Pass? ”

The barracks are inhabited by puppet soldiers and devils, and looking at this density of shelling, the soldiers have suffered a lot of losses.

After the enemy shelled the barracks, it will inevitably shell the station, looking at this artillery density, the enemy is afraid that there is an artillery brigade, if the Niangziguan station is shelled, it will inevitably be scolded by the boss.

The slap is light, and you may be removed from your post.

"The shells were coming from the north." Next to Yoshida on Monday, a ghost soldier said loudly.

"Baga, gather the troops!"

The irascible Yoshida slapped the devil soldier to the ground:

"Attack!"
