It is said that the soldiers of the new second regiment left the village with cannons and shells, and they were all smiling.

Seeing the shells on the cart and the two cannons behind the cart, everyone discussed:

"I didn't expect this special battalion to really give us two cannons and so many shells."

"The head of the regiment is amazing! The face is too big! ”

"This spy battalion is too arrogant!"

"Yes, yes, you see what people are carrying on their shoulders, but they are all brand new 38 big covers!"

"If we have three guns and so many shells in the future, we will definitely be able to capture a lot of equipment if we fight a few more little devil turrets."

"I heard that most of the other main regiments don't have infantry guns, but now we have three, it's really enjoyable!"

"Hehe, this cannon hits the little devil turret, that's what it's fun to do! I've heard that one cannon is a turret! ”

"Really? That little devil turret can make us suffer enough! Now we have a way to deal with them. ”

……

Dou Guangjie did not stop the discussion of the soldiers, he was still thinking about Yang Yuanshan's suggestion to beat Shou County in his heart.

Of course, he didn't support the fight in his heart, but if, as Yang Yuanshan said, the little devil really sent a squadron of reinforcements from the county town to the north to support Qixia Town, then the remaining troops would indeed be very scarce, and at that time, whether the new second regiment was fighting a pillbox or pulling out the turret, it would be a golden opportunity.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered loudly:

"Comrades, now that there is a major military situation, we must speed up and return to the regiment!

From now on, all the troops will march in a hurry, and strive to rush back to the regiment by noon tomorrow, understand? ”

Although the soldiers of the new second regiment did not understand why Political Commissar Dou suddenly said something important, the good military discipline still made them respond with a bang:

"Understood!"

Then he took a big step and ran up the mountain road, raising countless smoke and dust.

……

When the soldiers of the new second regiment rushed all the way to Shou County to return, Yang Yuanshan came to Qingniu Mountain on the southwest side of Xiniu Village, on the position of the second company.

As soon as he arrived at the position, Yang Yuanshan saw that six or seven hundred people were digging with all their strength in the chest-deep trenches, all of them were exhausted and out of breath.

Including the second company commander He Yunfu and the engineer company commander Zhao Tietou.

Yang Yuanshan jumped out of the trench, feeling that the depth of the trench was almost there, and immediately walked to He Yunfu, who was working hard, to greet him:

"Lao He, take a break!"

When He Yunfu heard this, he raised his head and looked at it, and hurriedly replied:

"Battalion commander, why are you here?"

"I'll see how you're ready.

The depth of this trench is already enough, let the soldiers dig anti-artillery holes in the anti-slope of the trench with all their might!

If possible, the anti-artillery holes should be supported with wood to avoid collapsing after being shelled, understand? ”

"Understood!"

He Yunfu hurriedly called a herald and asked him to inform the soldiers.

"How about it, do you have the confidence to rely on the trenches to block the attack of a brigade of little devils?"

Yang Yuanshan patted the soil on He Yunfu's shoulder and asked.

He estimated that if the little devil could come to a brigade, it would be almost the same, after all, with the arrogance of the little devil, in the face of the siege of a regiment on the Eighth Road, he shouldn't think of dispatching a wing, right?

They don't have that many troops!

"If the little devil is just an infantry brigade, I am full of confidence.

But I'm afraid of the bombing of the little devil aviation, this battlefield, although condescending, is very advantageous for blocking the enemy's reinforcements from the western road, but the slope is still not wide enough, if the little devil's bombers come to blow up a few rounds, even if there are anti-artillery holes, our casualties will be very heavy. ”

He Yunfu said with some apprehension.

Although a brigade of little devils has a full strength of 1,100 people, it usually has only 2 Type 92 infantry guns and 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and its firepower is very limited.

Now He Yunfu's second company has two Type 92 infantry guns, a Type 60 mortar, and six Type 92 heavy machine guns.

Not to mention the fire support of at least seven or eight guns from Wang Gensheng's half artillery company.

In addition, relying on the trenches and fortifications, although the number of people is not as good as the little devils, Yang Yuanshan is still relieved to block them.

Seeing that He Yunfu was worried about the bomber bombing, Yang Yuanshan immediately asked:

"Didn't I let you shoot at the air with heavy machine guns for air defense?

Was the heavy machine gun position chosen? ”

"Battalion commander, we only have 6 heavy machine guns in the company, I don't think your idea will work!"

He Yunfu smiled bitterly.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun uses a 7.7 mm caliber bullet, which is terrifying when it hits people, of course, it is terrifying, a hole the size of a baby's fist is a shot, but it is used to hit a little devil bomber, and the power is not enough.

If you want to really play an air defense role, 6 heavy machine guns are obviously useless, so He Yunfu will smile bitterly.

Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan also nodded, he understood He Yunfu's difficulties.

At this time, he suddenly saw Feng Shuanglin, the former machine gun platoon leader, digging a trench in front, and immediately shouted:

"Shuanglin, come here!"

"Battalion commander, are you looking for me?"

Feng Shuanglin put down the shovel and ran over.

"Last time in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold, you used a heavy machine gun to shoot down a little devil bomber, remember?"

"Of course I do. Later, the regiment gave us a commendation for the machine gun platoon! ”

Talking about his pride, Feng Shuanglin inevitably smiled.

"Good!

This time, I'm afraid that the little devil's bomber will come again, you take some people to the logistics company to find Zhao Li, bring all the 20 heavy machine guns we have in stock, and set up a machine gun position on the top of the hill over there to guard against the little devil bombers.

With the range of 4,500 meters of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, if you shoot in the air, you can hit at least 3,000-4,000 meters, and twenty heavy machine guns, as long as you sweep the bombers of the little devils, maybe you can let them drink a pot!

Just like last time at the Tiger Pavilion stronghold! ”

Yang Yuanshan arranged.

"Yes!"

Feng Shuanglin hurriedly agreed.

But at this time, He Yunfu opened his mouth to question:

"Battalion commander, once Shuanglin establishes a machine gun position on the top of the mountain, the support for the road will be weakened, the effective range of this heavy machine gun is 800 meters, from the top of the mountain to the road, it is estimated that it is 1500 meters, and when the bombers do not come, these 20 heavy machine guns will be wasted."

"Don't you still have 6 heavy machine guns in your company?

That's enough for you to use as a firepower.

Twenty wastes are wasted!

I will ask Kiko to come over with a sharpshooter squad to help you suppress the little devil's firepower and withstand the little devil's attack, it shouldn't be a problem.

Besides, we have so many cannons and mountain cannons, and we are not vegetarians. ”

Yang Yuanshan insisted on his own ideas.

After all, sugarcane is not as sweet as both ends, so you can only choose the lesser of two evils.

"Okay.

It seems that this is the only way to do it! ”

He Yunfu nodded.

"In addition, you can plant explosives under the railways and highways in the west in advance, and when the little devil reinforcements come, you can directly detonate the explosives, which should also bring a lot of casualties to the little devils."

Yang Yuanshan confessed again.

"Yes, I'll send someone to do it immediately, and promise to leave me if the little devil comes!"

……

Leaving the blocking position of the second company, Yang Yuanshan went to the artillery position next to him to inspect again, and saw that Wang Gensheng and Gao Yuanzhi had arranged 2 cannons, 4 mountain guns, and 8 Type 92 infantry guns here, and he was immediately relieved.

With this firepower, an infantry wing of the little devil came, and he also believed that his artillery company could fight the little devil artillery!

"Wang Gensheng, you got so many cannons here, do you have enough manpower?"

Yang Yuanshan asked.

"Battalion commander, no problem, I told Lao He and Zhao Tietou that when the trench is dug up, I will divide half a company of sappers who want to be turned into artillery to help me carry shells and act as ammunition men."

Wang Gensheng explained with a smile.

"Good guy, I didn't arrange someone for you, and you still made it yourself, right? Not bad! ”

Yang Yuanshan feigned anger and praised, he likes this kind of use of his brain to solve problems, don't care about any plaster, he can pull out pus, it is a good plaster!

When Wang Gensheng heard the first half of his sentence, he was still nervous, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately smiled and scratched his head.

"You also have to pay attention to digging anti-artillery holes, in case the little devil's plane comes to bomb, the artillery can let them blow up, and we can capture it after the bombing, but the gunners must hide in the anti-artillery hole in time.

After this battle, these gunners of yours will serve as platoon commanders and squad leaders, and they can't die in vain, understand? ”

Yang Yuanshan confessed.

Now the artillery of the special service battalion, after the first battle in Heyuan County, can be said to have become experienced veteran gunners, I dare not say that they can compare with the gunners of the artillery regiment of the headquarters, but at least they can be compared with the gunners of the artillery battalion of the division headquarters.

Compared with the number of shots, there is a high probability that the gunners of the special service battalion will have an overwhelming advantage.

Divisional artillery battalion, how can there be so many shells for them to fire?

Wang Gensheng nodded immediately when he heard this:

"Battalion commander, don't worry, we will be ready."

"There are also artillery shells, which should be scattered in anti-artillery holes as much as possible to avoid being hit and killed when the enemy counterattacks."

Yang Yuanshan advised again.

"Yes!"

"Have you made all the wooden cannons I asked you to make?"

"It's done, battalion commander, look at the mountain artillery over there!"

Yang Yuanshan took a look, and saw that there were more than ten wooden cannons placed on the hillside not far away, and the cannons were also dyed black with ink.

Wang Gensheng even had many scarecrows tied with straw, put on tattered military uniforms that the soldiers had eliminated, and place them near the wooden cannons.

From a distance, it really looks like an artillery man operating artillery.

"Okay, then I'll be relieved."

……

Next, Yang Yuanshan went to the position of Huangling Village to check again, and told Li Dahe to return to the camp headquarters when it was dark.

When he returned to the battalion headquarters, he had no way to rest, so he called Zhao Li, the logistics company, over.

"Battalion commander, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Li still has flour on his head, obviously bringing people to make cakes.

"Not bad!

Zhao Li, this time our battalion may have to face a strong enemy, at present all the combat units in my hands have been dispatched, there is no reserve, your logistics company currently has the largest number of people, and there is no combat mission, I want you to immediately select the most effective 100 people from the logistics company tonight, form a company, distribute weapons, as our reserves.

In case there's a need in the back, they've got to be able to go up! ”

"Good!

Battalion commander, don't worry, the soldiers of our logistics company are not soft eggs, and I will definitely prepare this reserve for you before dawn tomorrow! ”

Zhao Li patted his chest and reassured.

"Well, you've been with me for so long, I trust you."

Sent Zhao Li away, Yang Yuanshan fell asleep.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he may not have time to sleep again.
