In the past, Li Yunlong always said that with the reputation of a brigade commander, there are not many cavalry divisions, artillery divisions, and machine gun divisions.

As for the artillery division, it was Ding Wei's new second regiment alone, Kong Jie's independent regiment.

The guns of more than 75 mm caliber of these two regiments combined, which are equivalent to four artillery regiments, are already the size of an artillery division.

In addition, the 3 artillery regiments directly under the brigade headquarters, as well as the guns of the mountain artillery wing of the 37th Division of the Japanese army, which were captured this time.

It's almost an artillery division, and two artillery divisions combined, isn't it an artillery corps?

This does not include 60-mm mortars, 70-mm infantry guns and 82-mm mortars.

Plenty of ammunition.

Brigade Commander Chen was full of smiles and high spirits: "Haha, now our old Chen is a real rich man and a rich man. ”

Seeing that Brigade Commander Chen was in high spirits, Li Yunlong was also sincerely happy for the brigade commander.

Now the brigade commander's artillery division goal has been achieved, and even far exceeded, and there are still cavalry divisions and machine gun divisions left.

Maybe in the future, the brigade commander will be able to match a cavalry corps and a machine gun corps.

After a pause, Brigade Commander Chen said again: "However, I have received your kid's heart, forget about the 75mm mountain artillery, our brigade is not short of 75mm mountain artillery now, if you kid has a conscience, if there are too many 150mm howitzers and 203mm heavy howitzers to be used up in the future, you can give me dozens of them, I know that your new regiment is short of recruits, and our Taiyue Military Region militia is more." ”

Today, the 386 Brigade is equipped with nearly 200 75-mm mountain guns and dozens of 105-mm howitzers.

But there are only 2 150-mm howitzers, and they are the brigade commanders that Li Yunlong paid for out of his own pocket.

There is not even a single 203-mm heavy howitzer.

The brigade commander knew that he was rich, but compared with Li Yunlong in front of him, he was almost like a person asking for food.

The Li Yunlong in front of him is the real rich man.

However, today's new regiment no longer belongs to the battle sequence of the 386 Brigade, and the brigade commander has no reason to fight Li Yunlong's autumn wind.

Otherwise, today's 386 Brigade will be at least two grades richer!

There is no free lunch in the world, let alone a heavy artillery that even Lao Jiang is jealous of, if he wants to take benefits from Li Yunlong, the brigade commander naturally has to pay some price.

"Haha, no problem."

Li Yunlong agreed:

"Not to mention 150-mm howitzers and 203-mm heavy howitzers, even if they are tanks and airplanes, as long as you open Chrysostom, brigade commander, I will get them for you."

The brigade commander nodded, his expression extremely satisfied.

Li Yunlong made several mistakes in the past, such as the incident when Li Yunlong shot five Japanese prisoners during the Battle of Xinkou, if it wasn't for the brigade commander, Li Yunlong would not have been dismissed.

Next, assisted by the brigade commander, Li Yunlong controlled the overall situation in Lionbrain Mountain.

By 10 a.m., the besieging forces had already entered the attack positions, all of which were fortified positions that the Japanese had built outside the city.

The devils of the 37th Division, although they gave up the offensive outside the city, did not give up the fortifications.

Instead, they relied on the fortifications of the city walls and prepared to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

To the west of the city, the new 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was on the main offensive position of the 6th Battalion of the 2nd Battalion Division, taking advantage of the artillery in the rear to set up artillery.

Soldiers with steel guns and ladders entered the trenches, waiting for the artillery to blast the walls out of the breaches before the infantry could attack.

A tin horn of about 120 degrees quietly stretched out of the trench and shouted:

"Listen to the little Japanese and puppet army on the city wall, you have been surrounded by the main force of our Eighth Route Army, our strength has 200,000 people, your strength is only 6,000, the strength is 34 to 1, our 3,000 cannons are ready to fire at any time, please immediately lay down your arms and surrender, don't do useless resistance, the Eighth Route Army implements the Geneva Convention, treats prisoners preferentially, surrenders guns and does not kill!"

"If you stubbornly resist to the end, the Eighth Route Army will wipe you all out, and no one will be left!"

It was the fighters of the new regiment of the enemy engineering department who shouted to persuade the devils and the puppet army to surrender before the war.

The fighters of the enemy engineering department shouted again in Chinese, and then shouted again in Japanese.

After listening to the shouts of the Eighth Route Army, the puppet army on the city wall was suddenly ready to move.

The puppet army has never wanted to surrender to the Eighth Route Army more than at this time.

Most of the puppet soldiers did not sincerely want to sell their lives for the Japanese army, but to make ends meet, and to be soldiers and take money to support their families.

In this world full of wolf smoke, if you want to survive, you must pay some price, being a soldier is a dangerous business, bullets don't have eyes, maybe one day they will be gone.

And if you don't serve in the army, it's hard to survive.

But then again, these young men who became puppet soldiers, after becoming puppet soldiers, helped the Japanese army bully their compatriots in order to survive for themselves, sometimes more ruthless than devils.

A ghost squadron leader on the city wall, because the Eighth Route Army shouted in Chinese at the beginning, so he did not understand what the Eighth Route Army was shouting.

It wasn't until the Eighth Route Army shouted it in Japanese that he understood the meaning of the words.

Even some Japanese soldiers, their eyes were rolling around, and they looked like they were not determined to fight.

Not to mention the puppet army, they can't wait to immediately run down and raise their hands to surrender to the Eighth Route Army.

"Yaga!"

"Shoot!"

The leader of the devil squadron drew his command knife with a swipe, and pointed sharply at the position of the enemy engineer of the Eighth Route Army under the city wall.

Da Da...

Tom tom ...

On the city gate tower, Japanese light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers opened fire in unison, and dense rain of bullets, mortar shells, and grenades hit the horn.

More than a dozen fighters of the new regiment were bloody, and flesh flew in the explosion.

But it did not hit the soldiers of the enemy engineering department, and after the devils finished firing, the soldiers of the enemy engineering department changed positions and continued to shout and persuade the devils and puppet soldiers on the city wall to surrender.

With experience, the infantry were far away from the fighters of the enemy's engineering department.

In addition to the west city wall, outside the eastern, southern, and northern city walls, there are soldiers from the enemy engineering department of the Eighth Route Army shouting to the devils and puppet troops to persuade them to surrender.

The total strength of the Eighth Route Army outside Yangquan City was 60,000 main elites, while the 37th Division, including baggage troops and engineer troops, was only 6,000 people.

Both artillery firepower and strength were 10 to 1.

Li Yunlong used his classic tactic again: no assists, and all four walls were the main attack.

The soldiers of the enemy's engineering department shouted to the Japanese army that if the devils and the puppet army were interested in surrendering, they would be happy.

If the devils and the puppet army don't surrender, it's not a big problem, just destroy them all.

Shouting for surrender and exaggerating one's own strength and firepower is also a spiritual attack on the Japanese army and the puppet army.

In the Command.

Zhao Gang stepped on the ladder, put down the binoculars in his hand, and smiled slightly: "Lao Li, you kid can always play some new tricks!" ”

Ordering the enemy's engineering department to shout to the devils and puppet soldiers in the devil's city gate building was precisely arranged by Li Yunlong himself.

Li Yunlong's eyes were calm: "This is all a little trick, and the show has just begun." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gang also put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued to observe the enemy's movements with a serious face.

The devil on the tower of the city gate launched several waves of shooting in a rage, but it had no effect.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the East Artillery Group has been deployed..."

"The Western Artillery Group has been deployed..."

Soon, reports on the completion of the deployment of the four artillery groups in the east, west, south, and north came one after another.

"Chief of Staff, have the infantry entered the assault position?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief." Wang Dehou reported, "The attacking troops have all entered the position!" ”

Li Yunlong's tone was fierce: "Very good, pass on my order, the four artillery groups in the east, west, north and south will immediately fire on the city wall, and the shelling time will be half an hour, and the city wall will be blown up for Lao Tzu." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Dehou turned around, grabbed the high-power walkie-talkie, and ordered: "All artillery groups, immediately fire at the city wall, and the shelling time is half an hour!" ”

Not long after the words fell, 75-mm mountain guns and 105-mm howitzers in the east, west, south, and north directions began to test fire at the city wall.

Then, after the test firing was completed, all the artillery opened fire in unison and smashed into the wall of Yangquan.

Swarms of cannonballs fell from the sky like crows and landed on the city wall of Yangquan, accompanied by a deafening explosion roar, the entire city wall of Yangquan was filled with fire and smoke.

The devil and the puppet army suddenly flew flesh and blood.

……

At the same time.

Taigu Defense Line.

The commander of the 129th Division is leading the main elite of the 60,000 Eighth Route Army to confront the 18th and 14th Brigades of the Japanese Army.

In last night's shelling, the two Japanese brigades suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy casualties.

However, after the Eighth Route Army stopped shelling, the Japanese army began to rush to repair the fortifications, putting on a posture of co-existence with the position.

The devil also knows that the shells of the Eighth Route Army have bottomed out.

In the headquarters, the division commander stepped on the ladder and looked at the Japanese positions through the vision of the artillery mirror.

I saw that the Japanese position was full of craters and broken arms.

Many Japanese soldiers are stepping up their efforts to repair the fortifications.

The division commander knew very well that if he ordered the troops to rush forward at this time, he would definitely be able to defeat the 14th and 18th brigades of the Japanese army, and even have a chance to annihilate them all.

But the troops under his command will definitely suffer heavy casualties, after all, the Japanese are on the defensive side, and the 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade are elite.

Order the troops to rush forward now, and the bottom will be sacrificed by thousands of soldiers.

But when the airdrop supplies arrived, it would be a different story.

Li Yunlong sent information that the encirclement of the 33rd and 37th Divisions of the Japanese Army had been completed.

Now, the division commander can finally let go of his hands and feet.

No matter what happens to the Taiyuan side, it will not have any impact on the two battlefields of Yangquan and Shouyang.

The division commander looked up at the sky, then at the watch in his hand, and said in a puzzled tone: "It's 10 o'clock in the morning, why hasn't the battlefield been replenished yet?" ”

After the division commander sent Li Yunlong a telegram requesting airdrop supplies, Li Yunlong sent a telegram back to the division commander last night.

The content of the telegram applied for an airdrop supply of 100,000 rounds of artillery shells for the division commander, and told the division commander to tell Li Yunlong if it was not enough.

Arrogant.

The chief of staff said in an uncertain tone: "Division commander, may it be that Boss Chen's side needs some time to prepare?" After all, we applied to Li Yunlong in the middle of the night last night for the supply of battlefield air conditioning, and it will take a lot of time from preparing artillery shells to loading planes, and then the transport plane will fly here from the airport. ”

The division commander nodded: "That's right." (End of chapter)
