"Labor and management are coming back!" Li Yunlong looked at the familiar landscape in the south of Yangcheng, and looked back at the strong team behind him, when he first fought out, he took the first attack group and the second attack group, with a total of only more than 6,000 people.

But now back to the first attack group alone exceeded 8 thousand people!

His goal is to block the escape route of the little devils in Yangcheng to the south.

At the same time, the second attack group led by Xing Zhiguo returned to the east of Yangcheng with light equipment, and with more than 6,000 people, together with the two newly formed garrison regiments of the military subdivision, locked the route of the little devils to the east.

And in the north, it has long been the base area that has been recovered, and there is a main force of Jin Sui staring at it.

This made Gao Jianwu calmly with Shen Quan with the third attack group and the fourth attack group, and slowly besieged Yangcheng from the west with the main force.

This time, except for sending troops by surprise and quickly returning to their positions, blocking the 3 brigades of the little devils who were entangled in Yangcheng, the rest were advancing all the way in a dignified manner, and Gao Jianwu began to clean up the remnants of the little devils in Jindi to test the strength of the newly formed attack group.

Starting from Jinyang, along the way, the third attack group opened the way with an infantry battalion and a support artillery battalion, whether it was a county town or a stronghold, the battle was solved very quickly, and the mule-horse support artillery battalion completely kept up with the advance speed of the infantry battalion.

The battle was planned, and the surrounding county brigades and district squads were notified in advance, and they carried out the final cleaning of the battlefield, leaving most of the captured materials to the local development itself, so that the marching speed of Gao Jianwu's attack group was hardly affected.

Even if it is a county seat, it is only an hour or two to end the main battle, and then hand it over to the local troops to clear the field for the end.

So when Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo returned to their thrones, Gao Jianwu and Shen Quan also stood on the land in the western suburbs of Yangcheng.

"The 4th Brigade constructed a complete defensive position in the western suburbs, consisting of bunkers and criss-crossing trenches, as a key defensive position.

Our inside intelligence shows that the little devil has parachuted a lieutenant general named Nishio Shoucheng, as the commander-in-chief of Yangcheng, coordinating the command of the entire army, in an attempt to build Yangcheng as a bridgehead to recapture Jinyang.

To the east, Nishio Toshinari placed the special detachment of Liansuke in the vicinity of the railway station, and built a defensive system with the dark fortress as the main one.

On the southern outskirts, the 14th Brigade was also a defensive position dominated by trenches and bunkers, which would have been almost impossible without overwhelming artillery fire and simply relied on infantry advances. ”

Shen Quan played the role of chief of staff this time and shared the information he had gathered with Gao Jianwu.

"It's okay, this time our 2 main artillery battalions and 3 support artillery battalions are there, although the gadget of the bunker is a bit annoying, but it can't stop us, at most it will add a little trouble to us."

Gao Jianwu said lightly.

The hastily built bunker of the little devil will not even have reinforced concrete, at best it is a masonry and civil structure, and it is okay to prevent mortar attacks, but in the face of 75mm mountain guns and howitzers, as well as 105mm howitzers, there is not much defensive effect at all.

A bit of a scrap shell, of course.

But after taking the Jinyang Arsenal, do these shells still need to be considered by Gao Jianwu?

Well, if it is a European battlefield, even if Gao Jianwu is opened, he really needs to be careful and calculated, but here, Gao Jianwu is not facing the Maginot Line.

"Send down the battle plan, launch an attack immediately, and let the little devils know that the time to stay in Jindi is when they perish!" Gao Jianwu looked at the trenches that were faintly visible not far away, and said to the combat staff officers beside him.

"Yes!" The operational staff officer began to command the walkie-talkie communications corps, and issued combat orders and operational objectives one after another in accordance with the plan.

Everything moves like a sophisticated machine.

Gao Jianwu used a telescope to overlap and mark the maps in his mind with the remote little devils' positions, bunkers and trenches, and soon established an accurate on-site combat topographic map of the coordinate system in his mind!

The artillery commander who had entered the artillery position in advance began to receive the coordinates of the artillery targets and the artillery elements sent by Gao Jianwu one by one.

Soon, dozens of long-range howitzers began to roar!

The bunkers were opened one by one by shells, and on the position, in the trenches, one after another shells began to fall in the trenches, blowing up the little devils inside to the point that ghosts were crying wolves, and the stumps and rotten bodies flew everywhere!

Six or seven kilometers apart, Gao Jianwu's main artillery battalion had no opponent at all, and the two main artillery battalions had 36 large-caliber field artillery and howitzers, turning the little devil's position upside down.

The strongest artillery is the Type 41 75mm mountain gun or other similar types of mountain artillery, and even the 38 Type 75mm field gun is relatively rare, and now there are only 6 in the entire Yangcheng.

At this moment, they all endured to cover the charging eight roads for a while.

But how could Gao Jianwu give them a chance?

The artillery observation posts sent out around are monitoring the movements of the little devils around them at any time.

When the little devil couldn't help but open fire, the artillery observation post found the target as soon as possible, and transmitted the information to Gao Jianwu's side in real time through the walkie-talkie, and in less than three or five minutes, the main artillery battalion adjusted it and aimed at the discovered little devil artillery position to carry out a covering attack.

Basically, one or two rounds turned the little devil artillery positions into ruins.

With the strongest artillery disposition and the strongest artillery commander, the defensive positions of the 4th Brigade Regiment, which were independently mixed, were almost as vulnerable as those of the paper lake.

The deafening sound of "boom, boom, boom" lasted for almost 1 hour, and Gao Jianwu asked the top soldiers of the assault to touch it to confirm the true results!

Although the progress is a little slow, it has greatly improved the safety of infantry advances.

The new assault group that Gao Jianwu has now formed is full of baby bumps, and it is natural to be satisfied if the casualties are controlled at a very low level.

Now commanding long-range artillery fire to carry out covering strikes, Gao Jianwu hopes to clear the threatening bunkers or trenches found in the attack as soon as possible.

Now there are several artillery battalions with different types of artillery, which can fully support Gao Jianwu's ideas.

......

"Connected to it! The second and third companies were outflanked from both flanks, the fire company provided fire support, the mortars did not save shells for labor and capital, and carried out covered shelling along the direction of the advance of the first company to suppress the counterattack fire of the little devils. ”

Zhao Dalei is now the commander of the 9th Infantry Battalion of the Ping'an Division, and undertakes the main attack mission this time.

In the face of the battlefield filled with gunpowder, he commanded his own troops to advance layer by layer.

Without cover, they advanced from one shell crater to another, and when they encountered a bunker, they directly called the supporting artillery battalion to destroy it, and as for the machine gun fire point, the mortar team in the company could solve it by itself.

The 92nd Infantry Artillery Company, which supported the 1st Battalion of the Artillery Battalion, followed the main force of the 9th Infantry Battalion, about a kilometer away from the enemy's position, and almost aimed directly at the enemy's firepower point!

And the two mountain artillery companies are deployed behind the 9th Infantry Battalion, which has been providing covering accompanying artillery suppression for the 9th Infantry Battalion and clearing targets from 200 meters to 500 meters in front of the assault company!

Coupled with the long-range artillery commanded by Gao Jianwu, after the shells were washed in advance, as the infantry began to charge, the target was extended to 500 meters away, forming a layered fire coverage strike mode.

At close range, the battalion's heavy machine gun company and the company's light machine guns formed a crossfire.

The little devil in front of him was a defensive brigade, and he was almost suppressed to the point that he couldn't raise his head.

"This is what Lao Gao said, infantry and artillery coordination, firepower coverage attack mode? I didn't expect that even in the face of the little devil field troops, the power was so great. At the forward command post not far behind the 9th Infantry Battalion, Shen Quan looked at his side in the telescope and was shocked in his heart, and said to Gao Jianwu beside him while observing.

"Yes, at present, we have achieved preliminary infantry and artillery coordination, but not quite." Gao Jianwu also replied while observing the artillery target, "At present, the firepower intensity is still far behind, and there will be one more rocket artillery battalion in the future, and there will be 6 107-mm rocket launchers that we are studying now. ”

"But just artillery coverage is not enough, in the future, after our tanks are in place, the forward assault will charge with tanks, and the infantry will follow behind the tanks, so this attack is the perfect attack mode for the infantry."

"Obediently, with this perfect attack mode now, I can't even think of how to crack it, plus the tank, it's not just bullying the little devil. It's even more difficult to understand than when they attacked us a year ago. Shen Quan sighed, and mourned for the little devil.

In his mind, this kind of infantry and artillery coordination is basically the perfect way to attack in his mind, but he didn't expect Gao Jianwu to be satisfied, but think about it, if there are a few more tanks now, ignoring the machine gun fire point, then the speed of the attack will definitely be faster.

Because the assault force does not need to stop and let the mortar pull out the machine gun fire point, the tank can be done with a direct aim!

"Where is this, we now have our own heavy industry system, or it won't be long before we will produce our own fighters and bombers, and then there will be fighters in the sky to drop big bombs on the heads of the little devils to achieve air-ground coordination, that is the real perfect attack mode." Gao Jianwu responded with a smile.

The impact he brought to the Ping'an Division has been great, like Li Yunlong, who originally commanded the troops, basically relying on crowd tactics and close combat thinking, and now he can't keep up with the times at all, so Lao Li followed Gao Jianwu all the way, and his thinking has subtly changed a lot.

Firepower is king has gradually become the consensus of the top level of the Ping'an Division, and with the sufficient artillery shells provided by Gao Jianwu, everyone will no longer be careful to keep the shells for use at critical moments, and the combat casualties have been controlled to a level that was unimaginable before.

"Order the 10th Battalion and the 11th Battalion to follow, the 9th Battalion will open the opening immediately, and after the 10th and 11th Battalions break through with the 9th Battalion, they will continue to expand the results from the two wings, and solve the position of the little devil in the western suburbs in two hours!"

After the long-range artillery broke the depth of the little devil's position, Gao Jianwu saw that the little devil in front of him had collapsed, and decisively ordered a full-scale assault!
