Compared with the Grand Brigade Commander, Li Yunlong's progress is not so fast. Because the task discussed by Gao Jianwu and Li Yunlong was to block reinforcements from the north and take Kitakyushu.

Another important task is to get the Hachiman Steel!

This was one of the reasons why Gao Jianwu chose to attack from the north. As early as 1915, Yawata Steel produced 247,000 tons of pig iron, 382,000 tons of steel ingots, and 265,000 tons of steel, accounting for 70%-80% of the national output of Xiaoben! In 1934, it set a new record, reaching an annual production of 400,000 tons of pig iron and 1.68 million tons of steel ingots! Compared with the China led at that time, the steel output in 1935 was only 50,000 tons!

That's big enough to dominate Asia. For the Mukden Iron and Steel Industry, which is currently being revived, Hachiman Steel's smelting machinery and related materials, including transportation belts, balls, small motors, and electric wires, are still urgently needed.

Even some experienced smelting engineers.

It's not easy to put this thing on the table, that is, Li Yunlong, who often makes mistakes, is the most suitable for this kind of thing.

Fengtian Iron is now under the management of Li Yunlong, and there is nothing to say about getting some iron-making equipment or something from the outside.

Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu agreed on this matter, and the matter of transportation naturally let Kong Jie and Kong Erlenzi find a way, and at this time, a 10,000-ton merchant ship had already been collected by Kong Erlenzi.

Of course, there are not so many coincidences in this matter, more than half of this fleet is actually from a certain transport fleet in Nanyang, and they "just happened" to transport a batch of goods to the port of Dalian.

Among them, there is a 3,000-ton ro-ro cargo ship, which can transport any big guy, and this time it served as the task of transporting T-59 tanks to Kyushu, and at the moment they are still waiting for the big brigade commander at sea to take down Fukugang, and then unload the cargo close to the port.

Li Yunlong advanced more than 20 kilometers to the north, and after taking Kitakyushu, he no longer advanced, but controlled all the factories here.

He transferred a large number of original clerks from Mukden, these people are proficient in the language of devils, and almost every company of the entire army has these people in it to serve as interpreters to communicate with the local people, and there is no language barrier to take over the factory or something.

As for some stubborn reactionaries who can't think of attacking and taking over the team, naturally there are also thunderous means to serve them, and Li Yunlong is best at dictating all kinds of disobedience!

Gao Jianwu received the news of Li Yunlong's success on the flagship, and immediately sent a telegram to the brigade commander to speed up the process of seizing Fugang, and the brigade commander, who had just arrived near Fugang, discussed with Gao Jianwu and decided to launch an attack that night.

In front of them were the defensive positions of two brigades of little devils.

Several trenches were dug in the criss-crossed, but because resources were invested in the defense of the Pacific islands, and the Allies were advancing too quickly, these parts of the mainland lacked the resources to build too many bunkers.

There was only time to build defensive positions with trenches as the main body, and most of them faced the coastline, and the positions on the land side were weaker overall.

During the day, the reconnaissance plane took pictures of the position and passed it on to the flagship, and Gao Jianwu had already integrated the defensive position of the little devil with the three-dimensional high-precision map in his mind, and obtained accurate regional coordinate data.

After fixing the position of each ship in the fleet, Gao Jianwu mapped the precise coordinates of each ship to a three-dimensional map, forming the original location data of the point-to-point attack, as the night came.

When the little devils in the defensive position were just relieved, all the naval guns of the main force of the Fifth Detachment opened full firepower, and accurately poured shells of different calibers into the preset area of the little devil's position.

Nearly 100 naval guns with a caliber of more than 127 mm, and the coverage area of this round of shelling is more than 10,000 square meters, although the little devils at the landing point of the shells are gone, even if they are the little devils in the bunker next to them, if they encounter a 203 mm heavy artillery shell bursting, they will bleed to death!

Gao Jianwu started the artillery bombardment of Zhuyuan from the side of the position, accurately extended and advanced, pouring hundreds of shells per minute, and constantly advancing along the trenches of the little devils, even if he did not deliberately aim at the extremely rare dark forts on the position along the way, but after this round of shells washed the ground, most of the little devils in the dark forts lost their combat effectiveness!

Most of them had already bled to death instantly, and even if some of them had one breath left, they were bleeding from their ears and noses, and they could hardly see anything more than ten meters away.

The heavy artillery of the naval guns is not as powerful as the mountain artillery or even rocket artillery.

In Gao Jianwu's round of artillery preparations, it lasted for half an hour, cleaning the little devils' positions one by one, and almost seventy or eighty percent of the little devils on the positions had directly lost their combat effectiveness!

The remaining little devils are also trembling one by one, holding their own 38 big covers or crooked handles, and they keep silently chanting the blessing of the gods.

Even though they knew God had forsaken them a long time ago.

In the night, one by one, elite assault companies equipped with Type 43 assault rifles, when the naval artillery bombardment, they had already sneaked to the front of the little devil's position for about a kilometer or so.

Heavy machine gunners and snipers, began to look for suitable combat positions to provide long-range fire support, and the 40 rocket launcher group followed the assault company for the assault.

Taking advantage of the fact that the little devils were busy protecting their lives and dodging under the cover of the naval guns, they had no time to observe, and the assault companies continued to infiltrate the little devils' defensive positions one by one, and by the time the artillery fire was ready to stop in half an hour, the main forces of the various assault companies on the front line had basically broken through to the vicinity of the barbed wire fence about 500 meters in front of the little devils.

The prepared assault fighters took out iron scissors and crawled on the ground to cut the barbed wire, making one big hole after another.

The little devils who were stunned in the shelling finally poked their heads out to take a look at the forward positions, saw that the barbed wire was cut, and found that the abnormal little devils panicked and began to shoot at the broken places of these barbed wire!

The sound of gunfire woke up the remaining little devils on the battlefield, and the remaining little devils in the trenches began to straighten up one by one and look at the front of the position, and one by one put up their guns and prepared for battle.

However, this movement fell in the eyes of the snipers, bazooka fighters and heavy machine gunners lurking in the front line, as the snipers took the lead in shooting and killing some outcropping little devils, the bazooka men even aimed at the machine guns stretched out by the little devils and fired!

The long-range heavy machine guns also began to suppress fire, igniting the flames of war in an instant.

The forward assault company, which was accustomed to field battles, did not panic at all in the face of the enemy's rambling fire.

They alternately cover the advance in groups of three, and behind them, bazooka men and snipers are always ready to clear obstacles in their path!

With the support of these two firing points, the attack team of the strikers went very smoothly, they crawled all the way to the front of the trench, and as soon as they turned over and burst into the trench, the powerful melee fire of the Type 43 assault rifle immediately played a huge role.

As long as two or three fighters break into a trench, even if they are fearless in the face of the remaining dozen or so little devils inside, they will have to put down at least a few little devils if they sweep down, and once the two or three fighters form a crossfire back-to-back strafing, even if there is a squad of little devils inside, they will be overturned in minutes!

What's more, there are now few little devils left in every section of the trenches on the little devil's position, and after the commandos rush up, they are almost unilaterally crushed and take down the single-section trench gap, and the tide-like commandos continue to pour in from the gap and begin to eat away at the entire position.

The brigade commander has always been the one who sets the headquarters at the front, and almost all the progress of this front line is under his nose, and he grasps the situation of the troops at the first time.

Seeing such a large-scale position, with a round of artillery bombardment, it broke through to the front, so smoothly that the brigade commander was a little surprised, this can't have some tug-of-war?

The brigade commander died in the telescope and carefully observed the situation on the front line, convinced that the little devil did not have any conspiracy to fight back.

It's just going so fast.

This speed feels like when we met Gao Jianwu, everyone had a 92 infantry cannon to attack a devil turret, and the turret was a burst of artillery bombardment, and when the building collapsed, the little devils inside were almost killed and wounded, and the infantry went up to clean up the mess.

Bully people with firepower.

There was not a single decent resistance at all.

The Grand Brigade Commander, of course, would not dislike the attack being too easy.

On the contrary, he was on high alert for anything in it, being in a completely unfamiliar place, and at this time, he had to hold it especially to avoid overturning in the gutter.

Seeing that the positional battle was progressing rapidly, the brigade commander divided the reconnaissance battalion around him into countless groups and sent them out, and these three-person reconnaissance teams with walkie-talkies would carry out infiltration reconnaissance within 10 kilometers of the main force.

Once any problem is found, they will directly feedback the military information to the walkie-talkie information receiving center of the headquarters in a timely manner through walkie-talkie.

Relying on the powerful front-line wireless communication capability, the combat information transmission of the army is now more powerful than it was at the beginning, and wireless communication has spread to platoon-level units, so that the superiors can grasp the situation below at any time.

The place where we landed now is, after all, the enemy's place, and we don't have any mass base, only people who hate it in all respects, and we have to rely on the eyes of our own people to keep an eye on the surrounding situation.

After all, there have been so many battles with the little devils, in case the little devils also learn to ambush and counterattack the traditional arts of their ancestors, if they are caught by tens of thousands of little devils this night, even if the little devils' weapons and equipment are much worse than ours, but in this way, the troops may suffer a big loss if they are caught off guard.

After all, the little devils are all red-eyed now, and if the tens of thousands of little devils who have been highly brainwashed start a charge, cooperate with the artillery positions deployed in advance, and rush over in all directions, even if our soldiers can fight again, it will be extremely unfavorable in the face of such a chaotic situation.

Now the situation is very good, and it is not the time when there is a shortage of guns and ammunition and it is necessary to rush forward and fight bayonets face to face. What can be solved with artillery shells, there will definitely be no infantry used!

This is Gao Jianwu's thinking of fighting, and of course, this is also Gao Jianwu's tactic after he can afford to supply ammunition.

The brigade commander is a veteran of the old war, and he knows all aspects of a battle, how can he capsize in the gutter.

These basic operations have long been engraved into the bones.

The progress of the front line was unexpectedly smooth, proving that Gao Jianwu's artillery preparation was very successful, completely destroying the main firepower of the little devils' resistance.

The brigade commander knew that the conventional accuracy of artillery bombardment was especially discounted at night, and it was impossible to achieve the effect of Gao Jianwu by any one person commanding the naval guns.

For the first time with Gao Jianwu, the brigade commander had a large-scale infantry artillery coordination, all this was simply amazing.

No wonder Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were full of praise after they fought with Gao Jianwu.

In the first battle of Ping'angrad that year, although the brigade commander coordinated with Gao Jianwu, at that time, the scale of small artillery was also small, and he couldn't see the magic of Gao Jianwu.

Today's big battle of this scale has suddenly highlighted Gao Jianwu, and after a round of naval artillery bombardment, the two large defensive positions at the brigade level have completely lost the ability to resist.

Although the Grand Brigade Commander had heard a lot of Gao Jianwu's magic before, this time the Grand Brigade Commander was still shocked when he saw it directly on the spot.

This way of fighting a war, if you don't see it on the spot, who would dare to believe it?

Although it is said that artillery is the king of the battlefield, and it does play a role on the battlefield that is difficult for other arms to replace, but the brigade commander has never heard of a situation where the enemy can be almost eliminated by directly using artillery, but today he encountered it.

The artillery of the fleet did almost all the work.

When the rest of the infantry went up, they basically went up to make up for the heads.

There is no challenge at all in fighting a war like this.

It's pretty much the same than the drills.

The brigade commander did not hesitate, and after taking the defensive position, he took advantage of the situation and entered the city.

But the next street fighting was much more difficult, in the urban area, the little devil put a brigade as the main force of the street fighting, and also organized a militia of no less than 10,000 people, using the 38 big cover to defend by cold guns.

"The 1st Battalion of the attack group encountered a strong counterattack in the eastern district, with nearly 100 casualties at present, the little devils relied on the buildings to resist steadily, and we relied on assault rifles and machine guns to counterattack, with little effect, and asked for artillery support!"

"The 3rd Battalion of the attack group encountered cold gunfire in the residential area in the southern district, and dozens of casualties have been caused so far, and artillery support is requested!"

"It is agreed to use artillery support in urban areas, and to treat all communities and buildings that open fire as enemy fortifications, and that the mountain artillery regiment and rocket artillery regiment are ready to support the front-line artillery call!

The mountain artillery regiment was reduced to zero, and directly followed the front-line troops to approach the artillery bombardment! ”

In the face of such a situation where the whole city was enemy, the brigade commander was not accustomed to it, and mountain artillery and rocket artillery were not burning sticks.

After this order was issued, the front line was no longer tied, as long as there was a place where the enemy was firing, the mountain artillery would fire directly in the direction of the fire!

At the same time, the temporary radio station of the propaganda team also began to cut into the local channel to broadcast public notices on a loop, ordering to lay down their arms and surrender unconditionally, and for any counterattack will be annihilated instantly!

Especially through the act of attacking residential buildings, the entire building will be considered as a war zone under artillery bombardment!

The propaganda team also sent a convoy of loudspeakers and began shouting loudspeakers in the neighborhood, ordering the cessation of resistance in the urban area.

Although the little devils are fierce, after the front line troops really destroyed a part of the neighborhood and completely extinguished the local resistance, the counterattack from the little devil militia immediately weakened a lot.

Surrendered imps began to appear on the block.

Fugang, under the command of the Grand Brigade Commander, after a day and night of fierce fighting, took it in one fell swoop!
