September 23, Yushe area

The battle was personally commanded by the brigade commander, and no one would dispute the outcome of the battle. In the eyes of the comrades, victory was only a matter of time.

Considering that the siege force was really a bit excessive, the main force of the 386th Brigade alone was four, so that the width of the battlefield was not enough.

In order to give full play to the advantages of troops, the brigade commander dispatched the independent regiment and the new regiment, and let these two regiments ambush the highway passes around Yushe to block possible reinforcements.

Most of the enemy's main reinforcements were rounded up by Brigade Commander Fan with the new 10th Brigade and the three columns of decisive death.

As a result, the two brothers, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, could only pick up a small fish that leaked from other directions.

Since the second stage of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, more than ten hours have passed now, and their two regiments have only fought ten ambushes.

Because the weapons and equipment made by the Yellow River have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the devils who came to support were at most two squadrons, which made Ding and Kong fight very smoothly.

The independent regiment and the new regiment even took the initiative to attack once without missing any enemy under the condition of ensuring that they would not miss any enemy, and the devils were taken by surprise.

But the days of comfort were over, and a few hours earlier the two had encountered a difficult bone to gnaw.

It was a group of enemies who set out from the direction of Shouyang, they divided their forces to reduce the risk of exposure, and came to the Yushe area through various paths to assemble again, and finally forced together a large group of troops.

After repelling a new wave of attacks by devils, Ding Wei took a telescope on a hill to look at the retreating enemy. He shrugged his shoulders with disdain, and then said to Kong Jie beside him:

"It seems that Lao Li's mission has been successfully completed, we haven't seen a plane for so long."

"Why do you say this kid has changed so much, I can't keep up with his brain circuits now."

Kong Jie on the side was also observing with a telescope, but he was looking at the sunny sky. After hearing the words of his old comrade-in-arms, he sat on the empty ammunition box, took out a captured cigarette and sniffed it.

"What else can I do, I must have studied secretly. All day long, he shouts about learning a fart, and he is more active than anyone else behind his back. ”

"I was still wondering at the time, this kid didn't even get a place in the reserve team, and he didn't have a temper at all. If it weren't for their political commissar Zhao mentioning it, we would still be kept in the dark now. ”

"Making a fortune in a muffled voice is something that he Li Yunlong can do. But thanks to him, our two regiments can let go of their hands and feet and fight with the devil with real knives and guns. ”

If this sniper battle had been placed in the past, the devil would definitely have been a combination of infantry and artillery, with the cover of the landing aviation.

At that time, even if they could hold their positions, the casualties of their two regiments were estimated to be not small.

After all, it is all pure infantry and lacks air defense means, and it will definitely suffer a loss in the fight. In the face of enemy aircraft, the fighters were almost helpless. As soon as there was horizontal bombing and dive strafing, everyone had to find a way to hide.

Now the situation is much better, Taiyuan Airport was terminated by Li Yunlong, and they have no worries at all.

The fighters were highly motivated, well-stocked with ammunition, and even had an improved Type 92 infantry gun and several 60mm mortars.

With the French light weapons and the positions arranged in advance, even if the devils of the opposite wing are attacking, Ding Kong and the others are confident that they will not fall behind in a short time.

Boom×N!

Da×N!

Just as the two were talking, the devil organized a new round of attack, and the firepower of the two sides in the distance began to contact.

Unlike the previous times, this time the other party was obviously in a hurry, as if he had received a death order from his superiors. Even the steps of temptation were omitted, and all the troops were directly pressed.

All the devil infantry began to attack the line of two regiments in a skirmish line.

However, the hole cards of this batch of devils also brought some trouble to the independent group and the new group. I didn't expect that the improvised patchwork brigade actually had an artillery survey team.

Originally, only specialized artillery brigades had this type of troops, and they could plot the firing area into a precise grid of coordinates.

When fighting, the devil's artillery observer only needs to work in the diagram to find the accurate shooting elements, so that they can directly launch a surprise attack without test firing.

Combined with the two low-profile Type 92 infantry guns, the devil's artillery was like a ghost, shooting at the position of the two Dingkong in the firing pit, blowing up the solid civil fortifications.

At the same time, Xiao Ri's grenadiers and heavy machine guns began to suppress the mobile fire of the two regiments, and the light machine guns fired at the two regiments to eliminate the defensive fighters of the two regiments.

This powerful firepower and precise coordination really opened up an opening for the infantry to charge.

"It's interesting, it's enjoyable! That's what it looks like! I'll just say how can a brigade be so weak! ”

But the short-term decline did not make Kong Jie panic, as a mountain expert, a master defender, and an unyielding defender, he had already made a series of preparations.

The fighters relied on the remaining fortifications to block the attack, selling a small amount of space to lure the enemy deeper, and then concentrated their fire to eat the enemy's salient in one go.

The mortars and grenadiers of the two regiments fully embodied the doctrine of mobility, and the artillerymen focused on the forward units of the devils, striving to reduce the enemy's infantry.

In order to prevent the opponent's artillery from retaliating, they carried weapons every two shots, and even if there were observers and survey teams on a small day, they could not do anything with the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

Coupled with the condescending terrain and a large number of defensive grenades, the number of casualties among the devils is rising.

This time, the little days still couldn't get close to the main positions of the two regiments, and they were powerless to attack just after taking the outer positions, so they could only retreat in pain.

The two Type 92 infantry guns, which posed the greatest threat to the position, were also discovered by the artillery of the new regiment.

The commander of the artillery company, who had his hands free, fired a wave of rapid fire at the firing pit with a distressed face, but unfortunately did not kill the opponent's artillery position.

After all the enemies retreated, Ding Wei pulled Kong Jie back to the field command post, and he said to his old comrades with an excited face:

"It's up to you to defend this matter! If you go to the northeast at this level, even if Zhukov will be able to take the troops under your command for a while, there is nothing you can do. ”

"Today, the devil has no air force support, so our two brothers can have a good fight! Although the enemy has only one brigade, the fat delivered to the door must be eaten! ”

"Don't grab the command of the attack with me for a while, I'm going to organize a wave of counterattacks! Take them down completely! ”

Kong Jie nodded, he knew that his talent in attacking was not as good as Ding Wei's, and the professional things had to be handed over to more professional people. However, he pulled out his big blade from behind him, and said viciously towards the devil's position:

"You will command the overall situation, and I will lead the commandos of our two regiments."

"Since Yamamoto Kazuki was trained by the brigade commander after that fight, it's been a long time since Izuki Yamamoto cut off the head of a devil in an attack! By the way, try this submachine gun again! ”

Looking at the murderous appearance of his old comrades-in-arms, Ding Wei shrunk his neck and prepared to persuade a few words. Now it's not poor haha, there's no need to play hand-to-hand combat with devils.

Just as he was about to introduce Kong Jie to the American-style Juhe, a cavalry messenger quickly ran over and said to the two: "Commander Ding! Captain Kong! There's a new order from the brigade headquarters! ”

The two of them looked back in confusion and looked at the correspondent, who was gasping for breath.

"What's so urgent? Could it be that the situation has changed over there in the Yushe? ”

Ding Wei took the warrant handed over by the other party, and then said in disbelief: "The brigade commander is still powerful, Yushe County has been occupied, this is too fast." ”

"Lao Kong, let's retreat after another day, this second stage is much smoother than the first stage!"

Although his immediate boss won the battle, it was a joy to be. But the sense of participation of the two is a bit low, and it is far from the previous stage.

After receiving the news, Kong Jie slapped his big blade on the table, and the whole person looked a little regretful.

"Hurry, hurry! Lao Ding, let's hurry up and prepare to attack! Otherwise, I won't even be able to drink this soup, and I will be ridiculed by Li Yunlong's bastard again! ”

——————————————

Just as Ding Kong and the others were in a hurry to prepare for the attack, the brigade commander and his chief of staff were holding a command knife and taking photos in various parts of the battlefield.

After the second phase of the operation, these photos will be published in the newspapers as first-hand promotional materials.

Yushe is an important cornerstone of the devil's cage policy, and it is also their important warehouse in the southeast of Shanxi. Even if Xiao Ri knew that the Eighth Route Army already had the ability to attack the city, he was still ready to wait for reinforcements.

It's a pity that in the face of real strength, no matter how hard the devil tries, it's useless.

With the loss of the ground air and all the reinforcements being dragged, they only held out for more than a dozen hours. It was the reason why the brigade commander did not attack during the day, otherwise the battle would have ended in three hours.

The devils in Yushe County have two things to rely on, one is a strong city wall, and the other is the east gate and the two large bunker groups in the northwest corner.

The bunker can only bully troops without heavy firepower, and in the past, various regiment-level units could only rely on explosive packs to break the game. But what is the identity of the 386th Brigade, one of the six main brigades of the Eighth Route Army on the surface.

In the past three or seven years, the brigade commander has collected and captured 21 mountain guns and infantry guns along the way.

Before there was no Yellow River, it would be reluctant to use it because of the lack of shells, but now that the shells are guaranteed, it can be directly made! The bunkers were blown up that night.

Then it was time for the 772nd and 16th regiments to play, and they easily cleaned up the periphery of Yushe County.

Not to mention the city wall, with the combat experience provided by the new second regiment, all the soldiers of the four main regiments know how to deal with it, and how far the ladder can roll.

When attacking the city wall, Cheng Blind wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the brigade commander grabbed him and said his tactics in a serious tone.

"Cheng Shifa, as a general, you are good at everything, but your heart is not black enough. You have to learn from your old squad leader at this point, and try to pretend to be a bad stomach! ”

"Let me ask you, does the enemy always think that our Eighth Route Army likes to attack at night, and do they dare not sleep at night."

The question is simple, the devil is very dependent on firepower. And the Eighth Route Army lacked heavy firepower before, and it would suffer heavy losses in a head-to-head confrontation with the devils.

When facing difficult enemies, the losses are smaller when attacking at night than during the day.

After hearing the brigade commander's question, Cheng Blind nodded without thinking about it, and immediately understood what the other party meant.

"I see! We can use each other's empiricism to make a fuss. Let the fighters have a good rest at night, and from time to time they are harassing a little day. ”

"After dawn, attack while the devil is most tired! Hit them off guard! ”

Seeing that Cheng Blind was so upright, the brigade commander nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, signaling the other party to act quickly.

That night, with the exception of a small group of fighters who monitored the enemy and harassed the enemy, all comrades were recuperating and preparing for tomorrow's siege.

At dawn the next day, the energetic warriors attacked when the devil was most sleepy. At present, the 92nd infantry cannon accurately hit the city gate tower of the east gate.

Immediately after all kinds of guns rang out, Yushe City was immediately enveloped in gunfire and thick smoke.

After the city wall was blasted through several openings, dozens of military trumpets sounded together.

Thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had been waiting for a long time, were shaking the earth with a "rush!" Kill!" shouted like a tidal wave towards the enemy's walls.

The only remaining devils in the city retreated to the core fortifications of Yushe Middle School.

Yushe Middle School is located in the east of the city, where there are deep ditches on three sides, the walls of the ditches are smooth and impossible to climb, and the enemy has erected several barbed wire fences around the edge of the ditch.

In the campus, the enemy has built eight more pillboxes to support each other, which is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and the devils have also released poison gas.

It's a pity that the four main regiments of the attack were all equipped with gas masks, coupled with strong firepower, Xiao Ri was closed and beaten by dogs, and died one by one in the bunker-type coffin.

In the end, the remaining more than 20 devils, in order to show their loyalty to the locusts, collectively sang and set themselves on fire, and presented a wonderful curtain call performance for the 386th Brigade in the second phase of the Hundred Regiments War.

In this battle, the enemy was very polite, leaving three mountain guns and four Type 92 infantry guns for the 386th Brigade, as well as Japanese-style ammunition and grain and grass that could be used for half a year.

After the battle, the brigade commander looked at the casualty statistics sent by the various units.

The losses in this battle were small, and it can be said that it was a big victory, and the results made him smile.

Thinking that he was not harassed by the devil's fighter jets during the attack, the brigade commander pulled the thin staff officer on the side and said:

"Li Yunlong did a good job this time, and handled a troublesome matter for us. Let's go, follow me to the new second group and see if this muddy boy has come back. ”

Suddenly mentioning the new second regiment, the thin staff officer looked at his partner out of the corner of his eye, revealing an interested expression.

"What are you doing in the new second regiment? You forgot that the Deputy General Staff kept all those in the know secret? How? The Secret Service Boss can't help it? ”

Does anyone guess how I am going to strengthen Li Yunlong?
