As soon as Li Yunlong's military order was issued, all regiments of our army in the entire northwest region of Shanxi Province took action.

Assemble troops, reorganize equipment, distribute ammunition......

It's busy.

And the fastest, of course, is the secret service group.

Yang Yuanshan had already arranged in advance for He Yunfu to take the second battalion of the special service group and lurk on the outskirts of Shou County.

As soon as he received the order to attack Shou County, He Yunfu sent someone to inform Kong Jie of the new second regiment, and at the same time ordered the artillery company to start shelling the city gate.

A dozen artillery pieces fired a salvo, and the shells rained down!

The little devils in Shou County also have two specially strengthened artillery squads, with four Type 92 infantry guns.

Seeing that there were so many artillery pieces on Tubalu, he was naturally surprised.

However, they were extremely arrogant, and felt that there must not be many shells on Tubalu, and the artillery skills must be poor, so they immediately started an artillery battle with the second battalion.

"Woo Woo ......"

The cannonballs whizzed in the sky and finally landed with a bang—

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

What the little devil didn't expect was that as soon as his artillery position was exposed, it was set on fire by the second battalion of the special service regiment, and it fired wildly and rapidly, directly drowning their artillery with a large number of shells.

Their four guns didn't last more than ten minutes, and they were all reimbursed.

Before he died, the little devil's artillery squad leader was still full of question marks: Why are there so many shells on Tubalu?

Could it be that their logistical supply is more secure than that of our locust army?

And why can their artillery waste shells so much?

Didn't their artillery instructors educate them—

Every shell is incomparably precious, should it be aimed at before it is fired?

If Yang Yuanshan's idea was known, he would definitely be cheap and obedient, and mocked wildly: Hmph, little devil, your small projectile country, how do you know how big and rich my Celestial Empire is?

Ten or twenty years later, the shells we produce every year will be able to bury all your broken islands, believe it or not?

……

Dealing with the little devil's artillery, He Yunfu, who was in charge of the command outside Shou County, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

While sending his own guards to inquire about the casualties of the artillery company, he ordered the soldiers to pile up the earth into a mountain and prepare to set up heavy machine guns to suppress the fire.

Soon, the guard reported:

"Battalion commander, the artillery company has lost five Type 92 infantry guns and one 82 mortar."

"Good fellow, my artillery company has lost half of this battle?

The gunnery of the little devil gunner is really not to be underestimated! ”

He Yunfu sighed.

Then he asked:

"What about the gunners' casualties?"

Under the influence of Yang Yuanshan, the cadres of the special service group now do not care so much about the loss of artillery and equipment, but pay more attention to the casualties of the soldiers.

They all know that there is a lot of equipment in the regiment's warehouse, and if you lose it, you will lose it, and it is not worth feeling sorry for at all.

On the contrary, it is an experienced veteran, and it will take a long time to train if you lose one.

"5 gunners were sacrificed and 9 were seriously wounded."

The guard replied.

At the cost of 14 people, he killed the four artillery pieces of the little devil, and He Yunfu was quite satisfied.

This shows that the anti-artillery holes he arranged for the artillerymen to dig before the war were quite effective.

Nodding, he immediately ordered:

"Okay, I see, send someone to send the wounded to the field hospital immediately!

Order the other artillerymen, continue to open fire, and suppress the little devil's firepower point with all your might! ”

"Yes!"

……

The battle continued, and the soldiers of the second battalion soon loaded soil with cloth bags, trousers, clothes and other things, and relied on the terrain to build up mountains of soil outside Shou County.

He Yunfu saw that the height of the earth mountain was about the same as the height of the city wall, and immediately ordered the soldiers to mount the 19 Makqin heavy machine guns in the battalion.

Then he fired at the head of the city, and directly suppressed the little devils on the city wall couldn't raise their heads at all, so they could only frantically send a report to the headquarters of the First Army of Jinyang City for tactical guidance.

It's a pity that now, there is not a single soldier in the hands of Junyuki Hanaya who can be mobilized, and Okamura Tsuning has strictly ordered all troops in Jindi not to go out of the city without authorization, so he can only call back to the defenders of Shou County and hold on to the whole army until the jade is broken!

When the defenders of Shou County received this telegram, they were immediately very desperate.

But if they can hold on, will they send so many telegrams for help?

Thinking that a few days ago, more than 1,500 elite cavalry of the Black Island Cavalry Wing were all wiped out in less than a day, and they suddenly realized that they must be loyal to the locusts today, and they couldn't help but feel very panic and pain in their hearts.

However, He Yunfu did not let them suffer for too long, and more than an hour later, the soldiers of the second battalion, under the cover of heavy machine guns and artillery, blew open the city gate with explosives packs and rushed into the city.

Then use light machine guns, grenadiers, and box guns to clear the city of the remnants of the little devils.

……

When Kong Jie hurried over with the soldiers of the new second regiment, he saw that the flag on the county seat of Shouxian County had already become the military flag of our army.

He couldn't help but look at political commissar Dou Guangjie.

It took a long time before he sighed:

"Good guy, this battalion of the special mission group actually took the county seat where the two squadrons of the little devils were stationed in less than four hours?

It's horrible! ”

Dou Guangjie nodded:

"Yes!

Their combat effectiveness is truly amazing.

But Lao Kong, now that Shou County has been taken by the secret service group, is it still necessary for us to go into the city? ”

"It's a fart!

These bunnies make it impossible for us to fight at all, I'm really angry! ”

Kong Jie was very depressed.

A few days ago, Yang Yuanshan suffered very little loss in the Black Island Cavalry Wing, but his new second regiment lost nearly two or three percent, which made him not feel very good.

"If we don't go into the city, where are we going now?

You can't just be stupid outside of the city, can you? ”

Dou Guangjie was a little confused.

"Let's go east and sweep the little devil's stronghold near the source of the river and the water spring.

This time, Li Yunlong asked us to make a big move, then let's simply pull out all the nails extending from the source of the river and the water spring!

Let there be no little devil in the entire Shou County!

In the past, these strongholds were too close to the source of the river and the water spring, and Lao Tzu was afraid that it would cause the little devil to be restless, so he never moved.

Now, let's hope they are restless, it's a good time! ”

Kong Jie replied.

"This ...... Do you want to send a telegram to the commander to confirm? ”

Dou Guangjie was a little hesitant.

"Confirm what?

When the military subdivision was established at Liuling Pass, Lao Tzu discussed with Li Yunlong what to do in the new second regiment once the higher authorities ordered us to do it.

Now I'm just following the conclusions I came to at the time, and nothing will go wrong. ”

Kong Jie explained.

"Yes!"

……

Speaking of Yang Yuanshan's side, he took the third battalion and the troops directly under the other regiments and went straight to Heyuan County.

On the way, according to the order he had given before, the telegraph operator of the army turned on the phone regularly every hour to contact Qixia Town and the battalions in the regiment.

Then he received a telegram from He Yunfu and hurriedly reported to Yang Yuanshan.

"Regiment commander, second battalion telegram."

Yang Yuanshan took it and took a look, and was immediately overjoyed.

"Good!

Lao He did a good job, in less than four hours, he took Shou County, and the casualties of the whole battalion were less than 200! ”

When Han Yang heard this, he couldn't help but say a little unhappily:

"I don't know if Deputy Regiment Commander Zhan will encounter an accident with a battalion.

Commander, if you want me to say, you shouldn't have agreed to let him go.

How many days has he only been here?

I haven't even recognized all the people yet, so don't spoil our business when the time comes. ”

"Alright, alright!

He was the battalion commander of the main regiment before, and his command ability must be stronger than the two of us, so it can't be bad, so it's only right for us to learn more from others. ”

Yang Yuanshan knew that Han Yang didn't fight in the war, so it was sour.

Hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

Then he ordered the telegraph operator:

"Call back to He Yunfu immediately, and ask him to try traitors, collect food and materials, expand the army, and support the construction of local organizations in Shou County, as we discussed before.

Give me Shou County firmly in my hands, and I can't let the little devil take it away anymore.

In the past, we would leave after the fight, but now, we are not leaving! ”

"Yes!"

"In addition, send a report to the commander to inform us that we have taken Shou County."

Yang Yuanshan confessed again.

"Yes!"

……

Now that Shou County has been lowered, Yang Yuanshan has no task pressure in his heart, and continues to march with his men and horses.

And the artillery battalion that set off in front of their large army was already close to Heyuan County.

They used hundreds of Oriental war horses, which were originally divine horses, to pull cannons and cannonballs, and the speed was not slow at all.

Gao Yuanzhi, the commander of the artillery battalion, looked at those originally unruly war horses, honestly pulling the artillery under the whip of the soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

Back then, he was in the Independent Cavalry Battalion of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Locust Alliance, although he rode a good horse, but compared with the Oriental horse of the little devil, it was still 108,000 miles behind.

Back then, the commander of the cavalry battalion got an Oriental horse, and the soldiers wanted to see it, but they didn't have a chance.

But now, such a good horse is only worthy of pulling a cannon for himself.

How could he not be amazed by the wonder of life's encounters?

Suddenly, a scout in front of him rushed back and reported:

"Battalion commander, there are gunshots in the direction of Heyuan County!"

"What?

Gunshot?

Could it be that the independent regiment has already started fighting?

How fast are they? ”

Gao Yuanzhi was a little surprised, and he was suspicious.

"It doesn't sound like it, the gunfire is sparse, it's not like a big army attacking."

"Go out and scout right now and find out who's messing with the little devils!"

"Yes!"
