253 Soaring
At the same time, Li Yunlong's division on the southern front also began to attack under the leadership of Zhang Dabiao, because it was a roundabout attack, Li Yunlong's division only had one supporting artillery battalion to coordinate, and the progress was completely different from Gao Jianwu's destruction.
But compared with the past, blowing up a bunker requires the use of human life in explosives packs, which is a completely different scene.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao also set up a command post about 2 kilometers from the front line, staring at the position of the little devils, and watching the mountain artillery battalion cover the positions of the little devils under the guidance of the artillery observation post, although the accuracy was much worse than that commanded by Gao Jianwu.
But for a covering strike, Li Yunlong is already quite satisfied with being able to land next to a trench or a dark bunker, and from time to time set off a bunch of little devils to get up and take a dirt plane!
"We have these mountain artillery to cover the opponent and fight a rich battle, Da Biao, what do you think is the difference from before?" Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao beside him while observing the results of the bombardment in front of him.
"Commander, that's the big difference." Zhang Dabiao was also observing with a telescope, and said without thinking, "You see that the cannon just fell next to the heavy machine gun, and it directly scrapped a heavy machine gun group of the little devil. ”
"Now we haven't launched an infantry charge, and we have directly wasted it, this casualty, this time saving, the difference is big."
"Gao Jianwu's kid said that the infantry and artillery coordination, today I can figure out a little meaning, today we are not in a hurry, order the first battalion of the infantry of the main attack to give me a little leisure, don't know how to work hard, we must not only win this battle today, but also have fewer casualties." After fighting a lot with Gao Jianwu, Lao Li's thinking has changed a lot now.
"Regiment leader, if you do this, Cai Feng's kid may not even be able to fight, no." Zhang Dabiao was a little anxious when he heard this, what kind of urine is his troops fighting, can he not know?
There is only one word for war, Meng, of course, it is appropriate to change it to another word, that is, reckless!
Not to mention the warrior, just Zhang Dabiao, is also the master who lifts the knife when he throws his hat.
It was all brought by the regiment commander Li Yunlong, and the regiment commander who used to go up without saying a word and drew his sword has actually changed his temperament all of a sudden, and even he Zhang Dabiao can't adapt to it, let alone the battalion and company commanders below.
"Fuck off! Isn't it stupid to have such good conditions and still bury your head in the rush? He Cai Feng can't do it, so don't fucking occupy the pit and not shit! "Li Yunlong is angry, now that he is rich, the artillery can be bombarded, and the battalion company also has a large amount of mortar firepower to use directly.
"Give him dozens of mortars, nearly a thousand shells, this can't be fought, what else can he Cai Feng do?"
"Yes, regimental commander, resolutely carry out the order!" Zhang Dabiao, who is known as the pioneer of throwing hats, felt Li Yunlong's determination to change and began to turn around and deploy.
Don't look at Li Yunlong who is still following his first attack group, but in fact, Lao Li has not directly commanded the troops for a long time.
After fighting for thousands of miles, Lao Li found that the current mode of fighting was completely different to him, and in Gao Jianwu's hands, artillery was the protagonist of the battlefield!
In the past, when he was poor, there was a time when a regiment would make a mortar and there were very few shells, and although Li Yunlong regarded mortars as very valuable, he did not think in his heart that artillery could change the battlefield.
Now he found that it was only poverty that limited his imagination!
When there are many artillery pieces to a certain extent, such as in Wucheng, such as in Yanmen, or in Jinyang, which time is not artillery occupying the leading role?
Although Lao Li doesn't read much, he has a high level of understanding and a good brain, so after looking at so many war examples, how could he not understand that Gao Jianwu's thinking is the direction of the future.
Infantry and artillery coordination, he is also learning and experimenting, today, is his first independent attempt.
However, he did not have Gao Jianwu's ability, and he could directly command the artillery how to fight, so he could only order the artillery to always maintain the suppression of the battlefield, the forward distance of infantry artillery suppression and the forward distance of mountain artillery suppression, and Gao Jianwu gave lectures to commanders above their battalion level.
Therefore, although there are fewer artillery on the southern front than on the western front, they are still fighting with a clear eye, two mountain artillery companies, one of which can't bear it, waiting to see the little devil artillery make a move, and look at the opportunity to kill them.
......
On the eastern front, Xing Zhiguo is a little idle.
Hearing that the walkie-talkie was attacking on the western and southern fronts, he could only watch the eastern front.
There was no way, he interspersed the distance, and he wanted to go around the mountain road, so the mules and horses came over with two 92 infantry artillery batteries.
For defense, this artillery force is barely enough. But it would be too reluctant to attack the little devils who have a preset position.
It's not that it can't be done, but the casualties of the troops in this way will be relatively large, and there are a lot of little devils who can be solved with shells, and it is not cost-effective to fill in the soldiers now.
Now Gao Jianwu has the conditions to crush the little devil with artillery, and of course it is more cost-effective to solve it with cannonballs.
Therefore, Xing Zhiguo's second attack group, which had weak artillery on the eastern front, opened up a distance to lock the little devil's retreat in the east, relying on improvised fortifications and the powerful mortar fire and machine gun fire of the infantry battalion, and the little devil wanted to use the pig assault tactic, and he was bound to pay a heavy price.
If the little devil really wants to choose his side to break through, Xing Zhiguo is confident that he will give them a "surprise". It is difficult to fight the little devils with turtle shells, but the little devils without turtle shells, now Xing Zhiguo also knows very well what kind of virtue they are.
He has 6 main infantry battalions at hand, there are hundreds of mortars, the little devils give up their positions and rush out, if they use a dense formation to charge, the mortars will teach them to be people in minutes, if it is not a dense formation, it is better, the main infantry battalion is not lacking in heavy machine gun and light machine gun fire against the infantry!
Therefore, Xing Zhiguo was two kilometers away from the position of the little devil's eastern front, and he had no intention of attacking at all.
In addition to staring at the movements of the little devil, the rest is to change the channel, listening to the situation of Gao Jianwu and Li Yunlong attacking in the walkie-talkie, humming a little song in his heart.
He is not Zhang Dabiao's kind of person, and he is uncomfortable when he doesn't fight.
Now that the level has come up, Xing Zhiguo has begun to consider more overall issues, and it is inevitable to win the battle of Yangcheng, but to fight beautifully, it is the most important thing to win in the shortest time and with the fewest casualties.
The headquarters is closely watching the situation on the side of the Ping'an cluster, and has given Gao Jianwu so many preferential conditions, it can be said that everything that can be given has been given, if the 4 attack groups are reluctant to attack Yangcheng, this will inevitably make the top a little disappointed.
Although Xing Zhiguo is a veteran, who doesn't want his troops to be unique in the army?
You must know that now he Xing Zhiguo is also listed behind the Grand Brigade Commander, Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu, and is listed among the famous generals alongside Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan!
The record of his Xing Zhiguo is also the annihilation of several little devil wings, such a record in the country, even at the level of the commander of the group army, there are few who can catch up.
The task given to him by Gao Jianwu was to block the little devil from escaping, so he Xing Zhiguo firmly stuck to this opening to prevent the little devil from escaping.
......
"Baga, how can Balu have such strong firepower?" Nishio Shoucheng heard the continuous sound of artillery in the western suburbs, and his face was ugly.
Before he first came to Yangcheng, no one told him these things.
Lieutenant General Takashi Nishio Toshinori, who commanded three brigade-level troops and came from the staff headquarters of the base camp, thought that he had finally caught up with the good time when he took off in the military circles.
I didn't expect to know that it was a big mud pit when I arrived in Yangcheng!
After learning about the specific situation in the local area, he actually suggested to the little devil in Gangcun that he should immediately turn east or south!
If they advance eastward, they will break through the obstacles to the convergence of the 101st Division and the Chariot Division and form a real heavy army group, and they will take the initiative in whether to go or stay.
If you advance south, you can sweep the empty Eighth Route Base all the way, and then join up with the two brigades of the southern line from Hancheng, which is also strong and can form another heavy army group in the southeast of Jin.
Yangcheng stood out under the main force of the Eighth Road, and with the strength of the other party to eat two divisions and two brigades, now with the city defense that is far inferior to Jinyang, it can't stop the siege of the main force of the Eighth Road.
And don't look at the reinforcements, they are more than a hundred miles away, but just these ten kilometers, the 101st Division and the Tank Division have walked for a week!
For such a long time, Balu really hit Yangquan, and grass grew in front of his West Tail Shoucheng's grave!
However, the little devil of Gangcun, who was already angry about the loss of Jinyang and vowed to take it back, categorically rejected Nishio Shoucheng's proposal.
From his point of view, Jinbei has been lost, if Yangcheng takes the initiative to lose it again, Jinyang to Pingcheng is equivalent to giving up, and I don't know how much effort it will take to take it back, this is a dangerous area with high mountains and roads, and every mountain battle may be protracted, not to mention a big city like Yangquan!
The little devil in Gangcun told Nishio Shoucheng that the 101st Division and the Chariot Division would never give up, and now they continue to launch an attack on the Eighth Road, and the Eighth Road blocking team has suffered heavy casualties, and it looks like it is about to break through, and it will come over in a week at most!
】
Although Nishio Shoucheng was skeptical of the words of the little devil in Gangcun, he came to Jindi from the base camp and really began to understand his opponent.
By now, basically Nishio Shoucheng has already known that the fall of the 26th and 41st Divisions, and even the fall of Jinyang, although there is a certain degree of chance, but the strength growth of the Eighth Route has long exceeded the report of the North China Dispatch Army to the base camp by more than ten times!
From only being able to attack the squadron level, to now being able to directly encircle and annihilate a division! Who would believe such a horrific change that took place in less than a year?
Needless to say, in the battle report reported by the North China dispatch army to the base camp, there was already too much moisture.
Commander Gangcun must have hidden a lot of things for his own selfishness.
However, Nishio Shoucheng is better than Gangcun, and it seems that the military rank is one order worse, but the actual status in the army is very different, and it is impossible for him to reverse this situation in the short term.
So when he arrived in Yangcheng, he expanded from the city defense to establish three major defensive positions outside the city, but he didn't expect that the field fortifications he personally designed were broken through one by one in the face of Gao Jianwu's fierce artillery fire!
The current situation is obvious, Yangcheng can't hold it!
Where does he go from here?
