Chapter Seventy-Eight: The City Is Broken! Duan Peng debuts!
There is a well-known principle in management, that is, superiors can only skip the level of inspection, not the level of command. Subordinates can only complain at the next level, and cannot ask for instructions at the next level.
After all, if you skip the level and do something, it is easy to disrupt the normal hierarchical arrangement. This makes the battlefield micro-operation a technical job, and it is not that I can do it.
In this siege battle, although Grand Master Li also carried out battlefield micro-exercises, it was very different from the bald captain in essence.
Because Li Yunlong was commanding from the front, his field command post was almost in front of the devil's bayonet. Even if he did not participate in the battle himself, he could fully grasp the battlefield information when he was on the front line.
Even if he is a regimental combat commander, he has commanded to the squad level, but the tactics formulated are indeed the most suitable fighting style in the current situation.
And this phenomenon is not the norm, for grassroots soldiers to be slightly manipulated once in a while, more or less will produce a sense of honor that I fought side by side with the regiment commander.
It's a different story when you change to a group leader.
When the bald head sits in the office, watching the Shanghai stock market while remote control. The battle reports sent back from the front have long lost their timeliness, and there have even been new changes that he doesn't know about.
In this case, the command is airdropped, and the command is useless. It will only make the commander of the front line scold his mother loudly, and most of the time it will only help him.
"Gui Li: I can win a few small battles in the Fifth War Zone, and it doesn't matter if I am not directly commanded by a bald head."
With specific tactics in place, the fighters had a clear division of labor.
The battle-hardened machine gunners and precision shooters suppressed the fire on the firing ports on the city walls, and the devils couldn't shoot a single bullet.
Often as soon as he showed up and was ready to check the situation, he was beaten into a honeycomb coal by the warriors below.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao realized that the time was ripe, and the battle situation was completely according to the arrangement of his own regiment commander, so he beckoned back to signal the demolition team that had already been prepared to set off.
"Check the gear! A group of five! Be fast! I promise that no enemy can harass you. ”
"If there is a bullet and a grenade falls, then I Zhang Dabiao will play in person! Let's go! ”
After hearing the order, the first group of fighters rushed out without hesitation. In order to get closer to the city walls faster, all of them traveled lightly.
Except for explosives bags and sapper shovels, they didn't even bring a gun, and completely entrusted their lives to their comrades.
However, the comrades did not live up to the trust of their comrades, and at the moment when the demolition team set off, the intensity of the suppression of those firing ports on the city wall was fully doubled.
The ferocious firepower hit the devil and didn't even dare to move, which once made these little days a little doubtful of life.
To this day, they still don't understand why the Eighth Route Army, which has always been stretched thin on ammunition, has suddenly become so rich.
With the cover of the crowd, the demolition team managed to reach the city wall, and they immediately began digging with the sapper shovels they carried with them. It doesn't matter how deep you dig, you just need to fit five packets of explosives.
After everything was laid out according to the predetermined plan, the fighters of the demolition team lit the fuse of the explosive pack.
This fuse is the product of specially adjusted before the battle, and even a cripple can leave the scene and withdraw to a safe area within the reserved time.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone in the New Second Regiment, a violent explosion occurred at the bottom of the city wall not far away, and the huge smoke and dust even stopped the firepower of both sides for a few seconds.
When the smoke cleared, the wall was slightly damaged, but it was still far from exploding a gap.
After all, the ancient Chinese city walls were known for being strong and rough-resistant, and many times a few large-caliber grenades could last for a while.
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and when they built the city wall, they had already figured out a very classic gravity dam structure.
In general, gravity dams are trapezoidal, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and use their own gravity to stabilize the overall structure.
As a result, the strongest part of a wall must be at the bottom, and with its staggering thickness, it would be foolish to expect five packs of explosives to destroy the wall.
In fact, the most reasonable method of destruction should be to dig the tunnel first and then arrange the explosives.
By blowing up the tunnel dug underneath, it causes an effect similar to that of a mine collapse. As a result, the foundation of the wall above loosened and eventually collapsed due to gravity.
If it's not convenient for the troops to use the previous method, then simply focus on the top.
That position is weaker than the bottom, and if it collapses, it will most likely form a slope in front of it, which the besieging troops can take advantage of to kill.
It's a pity that the new 2nd Regiment didn't have enough time to operate this time, and the power of the Type 92 infantry cannon was insufficient, which made Li Yunlong only use the most stupid method.
Thanks to the Yellow River's improved explosive pack, the power is very strong, as long as you blow up a few more times, you can still win with quantity.
Although he did not solve the city wall at one time, Zhang Dabiao was not discouraged, and he immediately ordered the soldiers of the second group to set out to blast.
But this time the situation has changed, and the devils have begun to fight back wildly.
Although they were suppressed by the firepower of the new second regiment before, it didn't matter as long as the other party didn't take the ladder to the city wall, after all, no matter how hard they hit, they couldn't cause any substantial damage.
But the explosion just now woke up all the devils, and made them realize that the Eighth Route Army below actually wanted to break the wall with explosives.
This behavior has threatened their lives, so the little ones began to fight to the death.
Although light and heavy machine guns cannot be strafed, throwing melon grenades down can also play a role in deterring the enemy. After paying the lives of a few unlucky dogs, the devils figured out the direction in which the demolition team was heading.
They threw grenades from the battlements of the wall, and there were not enough of them to make up the numbers.
This allowed four of the fighters of the second group to die on the way to the charge, and only one comrade successfully completed the task.
This immediately made Zhang Dabiao's eyes split, he grabbed a pack of explosives and was about to join the third group to participate in the blasting, but Li Yunlong rushed over in time to stop him.
"Are you stupid? How can you fight like this! I'm not against you taking the lead in the charge, but why don't you call in artillery support if you have difficulties? ”
Although there are bound to be casualties in war, unnecessary sacrifices should be avoided as much as possible.
Now the Eighth Route Army is no longer the bitter haha it used to be, and there is no need to let the soldiers fill it with their lives in order to save a few shells.
Because he was afraid of the enemy's planes, Li Yunlong was a little reluctant to use the Type 92 infantry gun, but the weapon of the 60 Force, which could run away when he picked it up, naturally had no scruples.
After receiving the order of its own regimental commander, the artillery company, led by Wang Chengzhu, fired three rounds at the enemy on the city wall.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was still under the influence of the artillery bombardment, Zhang Dabiao rushed to the originally planned blasting point with the blasting team unharmed
The crowd first cleared the rubble with a sapper shovel, and then placed the explosive bag at the preset blasting point.
After two repetitions, a large gap was finally blown out of the fortified walls. And under the effect of gravity collapsing itself, the collapsed crushed masonry and earth form a slope.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Dabiao reminded the commandos to set off immediately, preparing to gain a firm foothold in the gap when the devils were blown up and unorganized.
Faced with a confused enemy, the fighters cleared the way with grenades and shell guns. There were few days left, and there was no ability to stop the commandos who were descending like tigers.
The devils in the city also tried to drag on with street fighting, but the gap in numbers was not at all something that a few houses could make up.
The soldiers of the new 2nd Regiment followed the pace of the assault team and rushed to the city of Yangquan County, but unfortunately the city gate had been blocked by the enemy with a large number of sandbags and mud, and the not wide gap seriously affected the attack speed of the comrades.
At this time, the offensive in two other directions continued.
Considering that the enemy's fighters might come to reinforce at any time, Li Yunlong divided two battalions to support the 769th Regiment and the 14th Regiment, and he himself took one battalion straight to the ammunition depot and grain depot of the devils.
——————————
In Yangquan's headquarters, the chief of staff of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, Kodera Katsuri, was ready to be loyal to the locusts.
This devil held a command knife in one hand and a useless Southern Type 14 pistol in the other, and put on a posture of wanting to fight the Eighth Route Army to the end.
All the soldiers in Yangquan County have been sent out to defend, and there are only a few staff officers with little combat effectiveness left around him.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, why haven't the fighters from Taiyuan come to support yet, and it's uncomfortable that Vice Admiral Shinozuka has already given up on us?"
Hearing such a stupid question, Kotera Katsuri showed a wry smile, and then looked at several staff officers with empty eyes.
"Because there is no fuel, you don't know how scarce the strategic material reserves of my brother are."
"Now that the Eighth Route Army is wreaking havoc on the Zhengtai Line, and our transportation line has been cut off, those three attacks should already be the limit of the flying team."
As soon as these words came out, there was a brief silence in the combat conference room. This group of devils knew in their hearts that the lines of communication they relied on for survival were occupied by the enemy.
And the brigade commander Katayama Province Taro evacuated all the troops in the vicinity, and now the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade is isolated.
It was only a matter of time before three walls were breached by the enemy, and the seemingly safe east side was definitely ambushed by a large number of enemies. In this case, it is already a dead end, but they don't want to admit it these little days.
Katsuri Kotera picked up his hat from the table, this devil Dazuo tidied up his appearance in front of a mirror, he looked at the several staff officers in front of him and said:
"Gentlemen, we are samurai of the Japanese brothers, and dying on the battlefield is our best destination."
"Although we were defeated, the honor of the brigade could not be kept. You take people to destroy ammunition depots and granaries, which cannot be left to the Eighth Route Army. ”
"I'll send a farewell telegram to Lieutenant General Shinozuka, and then destroy all classified documents and radio stations, and we'll see you at Kudanzaka."
"Hey!"
The words of his chief of staff seemed to have ignited a fire in the hearts of the devils. They bowed feverishly, and then ran towards their targets.
Yangquan is an important transportation node and the headquarters of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, where a large number of weapons, ammunition and various materials are stored.
With Kotera Katsuri's understanding of the Eighth Route Army, those poor ghosts will definitely take valuable things away in a short time.
With the mentality that I can't get you and don't want it, this devil didn't even report to Yoshio Shinozuka, and unilaterally decided to destroy these things.
After leaving the headquarters, the staff officers took the few remaining soldiers and moved separately.
It is more difficult to completely destroy a granary than to destroy an ammunition depot. If it was simply set on fire, the Eighth Route Army might have rescued some of the grain that had not been burned.
Therefore, the vicious devil staff officers are ready to use a multi-pronged approach, not only to burn but also to bomb with mortars, and even they consider arranging some explosive packs.
These little days were completely silent in their own world, completely unaware of the commanding heights ahead, there were several crops like men staring at them.
"Duan Peng, the little devil is coming, how can we fight? This route must go to the granary, and we can't let them go. ”
The flat-headed man in a short gray coat looked at his companion, and after a moment of thought, he spoke his mind.
"We only have three guns, but the devil has five. With our marksmanship, they won't be able to hit if they run. ”
"I'm going to stop those dogs and give you a chance to hit a fixed target. If something happens to me, be sure to take care of my wife. ”
Hearing this, which was like a last word, several crop men immediately turned red-eyed.
These people were originally farmers outside the city, and they made a living by selling grain on weekdays. Because there are elderly people in the family who need to be supported, they have no choice but to be obedient people.
But Xiao Ri and traitors deceived people too much, and they squeezed the people of the Republic of China too hard, and they didn't think about giving people a way to live.
In an altercation, Duan Peng accidentally killed a traitor, which made the already poor days even worse. Just when he was about to be driven to death by the devils, a passing district team rescued him.
From that day on, the honest farmer turned into a glorious guerrilla.
Making a decision, Duan Peng quietly descended from the commanding heights and waited for the devils to pass by in a dark alleyway.
After estimating that the time was about right, he pretended to panic and pushed the cart and crashed into the enemy at the front of the line.
This behavior made Xiao Ri, who was like a frightened bird, nervously pull out his gun, and after seeing that the other party was just a civilian, the five devils showed a fierce expression.
In fact, the highest-ranking Shao Zuo staff officer directly pulled out the command knife, and he was ready to kill this peasant of the Republic of China who dared to offend him before he died.
But at that moment, three gunshots rang out in the quiet street.
Duan Peng's comrades-in-arms did not live up to his trust, and three Arisan rifle bullets hit the arrogant little day from more than twenty meters away.
The flat-headed man also acted at the same time, and he burst out with incredible speed. The calloused right hand slapped the young staff officer's chin from the bottom up.
This momentum blow directly caused the devil to spit blood in his mouth, and half of his teeth were knocked out.
The last devil wanted to fight back with the Wang Ba box in his hand, but Duan Peng's swarthy hands directly took off a human shield, and the bullet that shot out sent away his own staff officer.
The guerrillas at the commanding heights had already been reloaded, and the five devils who went to destroy the granary only lasted a dozen seconds.
After the battle, several other teammates ran down from the high ground. As they picked up the devil's weapon, they said in shock:
"Your boy's iron sand palm is really a god! I don't even see how you shoot the devil to death! ”
Hearing his partner's praise, Duan Peng scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed.
"But how can anyone who practices martial arts not have a little blood on his body. Seeing that the little devils are riding on our heads, I can't swallow this breath! ”
"Hurry up and pack up and go to the granary! We'll have to hold on until the main forces come over! ”
Ask for everything, ask for everything
