Chapter 18 Tough Plate Field
This time, Li Yunlong was not polite to the mortars, field artillery, double three or five air defense guns and other heavy weapons made by the arsenal, and he pulled several back for the first one, but he was ready to fight a good battle, and swept away the decline of being pressed by the heavy firepower of devils in the past.
The soldiers of the new regiment, looking at the pile of heavy weapons, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, are all swallowing saliva, mom, so many Italian cannons, oh no, they are the guns made by the Eighth Route Army themselves, this time there is no need to be afraid of the little devil's strong firepower, we are stronger than him.
Several battalion commanders ran over, and Zhang Biao said excitedly: "Regiment commander, are we going to do with the little devil?" ”
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Of course, everyone listens, now that there are so many heavy artillery, Lao Tzu wants you to fight hard, and our new group wants to eat meat and drink wine!" ”
As soon as they heard this, the warriors became excited, there is nothing more attractive than this, as long as you turn over the little devils, there must be meat to eat and wine to drink.
Now everyone is almost malnourished, after all, the food they eat every day is very poor.
However, these weapons and equipment are not said to be used casually, and the next thing is the experts of the arsenal who personally teach everyone how to use them.
Especially a weapon like a double-three-five anti-aircraft gun, that's a really good thing, but it's very complicated to operate, it's not so easy to hit the devil plane in the sky, how to calculate the trajectory and trajectory of the plane in advance.
Of course, tanks and armored vehicles that are used for flat shooting, fighting little devils, etc., also need training.
Although this training was only three days, the soldiers quickly learned how to operate these weapons, and how to fight accurately and well, they still need experience.
The target that Li Yunlong wants to attack this time is the Japanese Sakata Wing, which has thousands of people and its combat strength should not be underestimated.
You must know that this Bantian United, but they fought with Kong Jie's independent regiment, and the result was that the independent regiment was defeated, and the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, almost hung up.
Not only that, the Bantian Wing also fought Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, so that the 358th Regiment suffered 300 casualties in less than an hour, and during the Battle of Xinkou, the Bantian Wing defeated two divisions with the strength of one wing, which also confirmed the strong combat effectiveness of the Bantian Wing from the side.
The Itada Infantry Wing has three infantry brigades, an infantry artillery squadron with 6 70-mm Type 92 infantry guns, and an anti-tank squadron, plus the firepower configuration of each infantry brigade, the entire Sakata Wing has a total of 12 Type 92 infantry guns, 6 37-mm anti-tank guns, 36 Type 92 heavy machine guns, crooked machine guns and dozens of grenadiers.
The equipment of this Bantian United is also very good, so it is really hard to say that Li Yunlong wants to have a hard fight with Bantian this time, but with so many heavy firepower equipment provided by Duan Yunpeng, Li Yunlong is still full of confidence, after all, in terms of performance, the weapons provided by Duan Yunpeng are much better than Bantian's equipment, for example, this pair of three or five guns is stronger than the six 37 mm anti-tank guns of the Bantian Wing.
The same is true for heavy artillery, the Itada Wing has a total of twelve 70 mm Type 92 infantry guns, and the Type 92 infantry gun is a very short artillery, its total height is only 62 cm. Type 92 infantry gun is a howitzer, the trajectory is more stable than mortars, so the accuracy is much better than mortars of the same caliber level (80 ~ 82 mm), at the same time, with the help of high firing angles, when fighting in the mountains, Type 92 infantry guns can be conveniently deployed on the anti-slope position, so that it can not only provide timely support firepower for their own troops in the ridge line or frontal position, but also hide themselves well. In fact, from the perspective of overall performance, in addition to weight and volume, the Type 92 infantry gun lags behind Western infantry guns of the same caliber and canon and howitzers.
Compared with the eighty-millimeter field gun provided by Duan Yunpeng, it is much worse, whether it is the range or the power, it is far inferior.
Coupled with the fact that there are several 100-millimeter mortars, Li Yunlong is even less worried about the problem of firepower.
The weight of this mortar is only 75 kilograms, and the sharp drop in weight also makes the 100-millimeter mortar very strong in combat effectiveness and very mobile, and after disassembly, the gun carriage weighs about 20 kilograms, the barrel weighs 30 kilograms, and the bottom plate weighs more than 20 kilograms.
The 100-millimeter mortar could be carried by mules and horses, or by man if necessary, with a maximum range of about 5,000 meters.
Although it is said that with so much heavy firepower, Li Yunlong still formulated a tactic to lure the enemy into depth, so as to reduce the losses of the new regiment as much as possible, after all, the reputation of the Sakata United is not to be taken lightly.
This time, Li Yunlong's plan to lure the enemy was indeed successful, and when the Bantian Wing saw that a small new regiment of the Eighth Route Army had come to provoke, they chased after a battalion sent by Li Yunlong to fight.
The first battalion fought and retreated, harassing the Japanese army from time to time, and soon the 4,000-strong Sakata Wing and the brigade entered the encirclement designed by Li Yunlong.
This encirclement is a gap, and once it enters, it will be at a disadvantage, but Sakata is confident that his combat strength is strong, and he is not afraid of any ambush warfare of the new regiment, so he directly drives the large army into it and chases after the new regiment and battalion.
It was only when Itada went in that he realized that something was not quite right, and it was too late for him to retreat at this time.
Li Yunlong was standing on a hillside in the distance at this time, watching most of the Potian Wing go into his pocket, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Great, this time we have to have a hard encounter with the Bantian United, it would be better if we could annihilate them all, even if we can't, we must cripple him, it is best to capture Sakata alive and avenge our Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment." ”
Hearing this, everyone was eager to rush forward immediately and kill the little devils.
However, this still has to be ordered by Li Yunlong.
The artillery was ready, Li Yunlong finally gave the order, and more than a dozen guns began to roar, hitting the head, middle and tail of the Itada Wing respectively, cutting off its retreat and forward path, and at the same time striking its middle, like a snake beating seven inches.
encountered such a fierce fire attack for a while, Sakata himself was also confused, wasn't the opponent a regiment of the Eighth Route Army? How can there be such a powerful firepower, it is impossible and impossible.
In Itachi's intelligence, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is very weak, and it has no heavy firepower at all, and even a division of the regular army does not have such firepower.
Sakata knew that he had fallen for the Eighth Route Army's plan this time, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to counterattack on the spot.
However, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army occupies a favorable position, so it is really easy to fight the devils, but the Sakata Wing, although there are twelve infantry guns, but at this time, it is not so easy to organize a counterattack, although the Type 92 infantry artillery can hit the new regiment behind the hillside, but when it is hit by fire, there are several Type 92 infantry guns, which were broken by the first wave of artillery fire.
