Fighting the Huting stronghold is by no means just a simple matter of laying down a stronghold, as a bridgehead for the devils to curb the expansion of the base area, once the Huting stronghold is attacked, the devils in several nearby counties will send troops to support, and at the critical moment, the independent mixed 3rd Brigade of Lieutenant General Yoshizawa Tadao will be dispatched, and the scale of the battle will not be a small stronghold.

Therefore, if you want to attack this stronghold, the core is still to send reinforcements, as long as the reinforcements are intercepted, the Eighth Route Army can complete the goal of this operation, and the last time the 386 Brigade took the Huting stronghold, it is not the same, that is, this time they also need to hold on to the Huting stronghold for 12 hours after taking the Huting stronghold, to ensure that the weapons and ammunition can be smoothly transported back to the base area.

The vanguard of the 1000th Regiment cut off the telephone line of the devil as soon as it arrived around the Huting stronghold, but it is estimated that it has little effect, not to mention that the devil's stronghold is most likely equipped with a radio, even if there is no radio, they will also maintain regular communication with the surrounding strongholds, once they can't be contacted, it means that there is a problem, and the surrounding strongholds will be reported immediately.

"Report to the head of the group, the head of the 772 regiment has asked to speak to you." Just as Li Yunlong was staring at the Huting stronghold, the cockpit lid of a CV-33 beside him opened, and a soldier handed out the receiver and headphones.

"Tell Cheng Blind and let him honestly help Lao Tzu take care of the periphery, don't always think about it, the Tiger Pavilion stronghold is Lao Tzu." Li Yunlong didn't go over, and shouted loudly at the soldier directly from afar, and those who were close could already hear the roar coming from the earphones.

"Lao Li, we have been surrounding the Huting stronghold for more than an hour, and the pressure on the 772 regiment is also very high, why don't I rush with the death squad?" Kong Jie reminded on the side, it has been more than an hour, except for Li Yunlong's few artillery shots and fire reconnaissance at the beginning, until now, the 1000 regiment is just surrounding but not fighting, not only the 772 regiment, but also other brother troops who cooperate with the action have opinions, just like Li Yunlong in the TV series wants to grab the main attack, everyone is not bad, they are all the main forces, why do you Li Yunlong take more and occupy more, and still occupy the pit and don't!

"No, the devil's fortification group is too strong, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, with more than a dozen large and small artillery, if we fight like before, it will be equivalent to giving away people's heads, it is not easy for our brothers to save some money, but we can't just fold it outside." Li Yunlong shook his head, as Wang Yue judged, the core fortifications of the devil were indeed concrete, protected by a rammed earth layer and a masonry layer on the outside, and steel plates were also strengthened in key parts, and the 75mm shells were useless to hit.

As for the tank covering the infantry attack, Li Yunlong also considered it, but the terrain around the Huting stronghold was very narrow, and his nine tanks could not be deployed, nor could they assault at high speed, and if they didn't do it well, they would become the target of the devils, you know, after the Cangyunling War, the devils transferred a lot of anti-tank guns from the Shenyang Arsenal, and used their small capital to bet on whether the devils equipped the Huting stronghold with anti-tank guns, Li Yunlong felt that he was not so stupid.

"Lao Li, what are you waiting for?" Kong Jie was a little anxious, some of the reinforcements had already exchanged fire with the devils, but he was still motionless on his side, did Li Yunlong really think that he could transport weapons and ammunition back without taking the Huting stronghold? Don't you know that a single shell from a devil can destroy the ammunition in transport?

"Here, here comes what I've been waiting for!" At this moment, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, his gaze turned not far away, Kong Jie followed Li Yunlong's gaze, and saw Wang Yue running over with two "big hammers" in one arm, just behind him, two little soldiers also carried a pipe and ran this way with great effort.

"Brother Wang, you're finally here, this is the thing you said is more fierce than the 122 howitzer?" Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he saw Wang Yue, but there always seemed to be a little doubt in his tone.

"This is the latest equipment, 150mm super-caliber howitzer, with a range of 2.4 kilometers, and the explosive power is equivalent to more than 100 kilograms of TNT. Wang Yue patted the gas canister on a thick pipe and excitedly introduced.

That's right, Wang Yue got stuck with the system bug again, and the advanced weapons couldn't be brought over, so he processed some parts to assemble them, and this time he tried to bring a gas canister cannon and four shells over several times, of course, in the state of parts.

That's right, it's the kind of gas canister cannon that has been flooded in some areas, he has already thought about it, if the effect is good, he will let Chen Xi buy it in 2023, anyway, this thing is all a bunch of ordinary civilian products, fertilizer, sugar, kerosene, catalyst, potassium permanganate, gas canister, large-caliber seamless steel pipe, and dry batteries, no matter which one is legal.

"Can this really get out?" Kong Jie struggled to hold on to a cannonball, a little unbelievable, this sledgehammer-like cannonball, if not a hundred kilograms, there are seventy or eighty kilograms, Wang Yue, this guy can actually hold four cannonballs and still walk like a fly, is he still a human? It's also too brutal!

"No problem, rest assured, I have learned everything from assembly to launch, speaking of Lao Li, the 122mm howitzer has entered the position?" Wang Yue instructed the two little soldiers to put up the gun rack and asked Li Yunlong. Before Li Yunlong arrived, Wang Yue was already equipping this thing, and his strong learning and imitation ability reappeared, and now this cannon is better than that made in Tasha's private workshop.

After confirming that the 75mm artillery could not move the Huting stronghold, Li Yunlong asked the artillery company to drag eight 122mm howitzers out, and at this time it was already aimed at the Huting stronghold in a direct aiming state. This is really thanks to those few CV-33s, otherwise they would not have been able to deploy this kind of heavy artillery in the mountains with manpower.

"Lao Li, do you want to ask the brigade commander to use those artillery again?" Kong Jie hesitated, this is just a stronghold, you two actually got so many 122mm howitzers, I don't know, I think you two are fighting Taiyuan.

"It's okay, it's an emergency, Lao Li, don't worry, how many shells you shoot, I'll make up for you next time!" Wang Yue said very casually, to be honest, he was also looking forward to it, a 122mm big pipe salvo, even if he had been in Libi for a few months, he had never seen it.

"Okay, then let's get rich today, so that the little devils can see the world. Save them from knowing that the sky is high and the earth is thick! Li Yunlong nodded and made up his mind.

Five hundred meters behind the side of Li Yunlong's position, Chu Yunfei, who was allowed to participate in the battle, was also anxious, Nima, Lao Tzu even called Chief Yan, so he was able to come to watch the battle, as a result, you Li Yunlong will show me this? What about the anti-Japanese heroes who said they were good? What about the good Tiger Ben Division? What's wrong with strong fortifications, if the fortifications are strong, there will be no war? Firepower, troops, and equipment are all superior, what, why do you want to wait for the devil to surrender directly?

"Regimental seat, at twelve o'clock, next to the big rock halfway up the mountain." Fang Ligong, who was holding a telescope on the side, suddenly shouted in a low voice.

"It's the M-1938 122mm howitzer of the northern powers, and the Eighth Route Army has one, I also saw it when I went to Daxiawan to visit Chief Yan a few days ago, but I didn't expect them to pull out this heavy artillery." Chu Yunfei looked at it and was not too surprised.

"Tuanza, there is also a direction at one o'clock, and there is a direction at ten o'clock, there are three of them just what I saw, it can be seen that there are definitely a lot of this kind of artillery in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army attaches too much importance to the stronghold of Huting, is there a devil here?" Fang Ligong continued, his tone unconsciously carried some sourness, since the fall of Taiyuan, the Jin Sui army has no chance with this kind of heavy artillery, and the artillery and shells equipped by various departments are also getting fewer and fewer, and the days can be described as embarrassing.

Just when the two of them were puzzled, a white arc suddenly burst out from Li Yunlong's side not far away, and after a short scream, a flame erupted in the direction of the Tiger Pavilion stronghold, and the violent explosion made Chu Yunfei, who was a kilometer away from the Tiger Pavilion stronghold, feel a shock under his feet.

Immediately afterwards, there was the fierce fire of large-caliber howitzers, M-1938 type 122mm howitzers, eight, although the artillery of the 1000 regiment was not very skilled, but the concentrated fire of the eight heavy guns was still very spectacular, just when Chu Yunfei figured out how many heavy guns the Eighth Route Army had, the 150 mortars over there fired one after another, and the second and third shells were directly smashed on the core fortifications of the devil, and half of the solid core pillboxes were smashed alive. As for the last shell, it landed right in the middle of the two bean chariots, and the big killer in the eyes of the two devils was torn apart in an instant like cans.

Wang Yue ran out of four 150 shells here, and as soon as Li Yunlong waved his hand, the guard took out his flare gun and fired a red signal flare into the sky. The first battalion of the 1000th regiment immediately attacked, and the first tank was the No. 1 tank, the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao followed behind the tank, carrying a rifle, and commanded the troops to attack, but there were still soldiers running over the tank to the front, and Zhang Dabiao, who was angry and following behind the tank, was furious, the regiment commander made such a big move, and he didn't want to reduce the casualties, you guys, this is not fooling, the casualties are too great, and the regiment commander has to clean himself up.

At this moment, the remnants of the Imperial Association Army in the Huting stronghold have already raised the white flag, it is too brutal, it is not like your Eighth Route Army, I said that you have such strong firepower, if you had said it earlier, we would have done it anyway, even if it is to help you fight the little devils, it is no problem, it is better than being concentrated by you with heavy artillery, okay, Nima, a light machine gun fire point is bombarded with heavy artillery, don't you need money for shells?

The next battle was simple, without waiting for a battalion to start, the surrendered Imperial Association Army killed more than a dozen devils who could still resist, and a battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army also ran to Zhang Dabiao, reiterating that he was leading the uprising, and then commanded the "rebel soldiers" to take the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to search for the remnants of the enemy.

"Let Zhang Dabiao end the battle quickly, and then camp nearby as planned, Lao Kong, you quickly give Zhang Wanhe a signal, and let the transport team come over quickly." Li Yunlong finally had a sense of relief on his face.
