Bright Sword Military System

If the Independence Regiment wanted to avoid this bombing, the correct approach would be to slow down their marching speed after dark...the main force slowed down their marching speed and distanced themselves from the vanguard by at least 8 kilometers.

Because the artillery commonly used by devils, such as the 8-type mountain cannon, the [-]-type mountain cannon, the [-]-type mountain cannon, etc., have a range of about [-] kilometers.

If the vanguard is eight kilometers away from the main force, if the Devils cannons hit the main force, it means they have to face the vanguard of the Eighth Route Army, which is obviously very dangerous.

But now, the distance between the vanguard of the independent regiment and the main force is only three kilometers.

This allows the devil's shells to easily pass over the vanguard and hit the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

In the final analysis, although Li Yunlong learned "blitzkrieg" on paper, he failed to grasp the details in actual combat... This is normal, there is no commander who does not make mistakes, especially the Eighth Route Army has never been in contact with "blitzkrieg" before and rarely fights Air-to-ground artillery coordinated battles.

It's just that every mistake on the battlefield is at the cost of blood and life.

Li Yunlong realized this at the first time, he punched the ground hard, feeling guilty for killing his subordinates.

However, Li Yunlong is a veteran on the battlefield. He knows that this is not the time for guilt and introspection. The main force is still under the cover of enemy artillery and is not out of danger. He needs to calm down and lead them out of the predicament.

"What's going on?" Li Yunlong didn't see his own artillery firing for a long time, and Li Yunlong roared: "Why didn't the artillery battalion fire? Did the devil be fooled by the devil?"

"Regimental Commander!" A communications soldier ran up to Li Yunlong and reported, "The devil's artillery is hiding on the other side of the high ground and firing. Our position is low and we cannot see the position of the enemy's artillery position!"

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, this naughty little devil played with me like this.

What to do now?

Li Yunlong looked at the blasting points of the surrounding shells, and found that these blasting points were scattered and a little chaotic.

The so-called confusion refers to the lack of rhythm.

If it is an experienced old artilleryman, they load and fire at a very uniform speed, so once the fire is fired, the density is not much different at the same time, and the bombed side will feel that the shells continue to fall and there is no chance to breathe.

But this time the shelling was different. It was sometimes violent and sometimes intermittent, obviously caused by the poor cooperation between the artillery crew or the gunners.

Novice Devil Artillery!

Li Yunlong quickly made a judgment: and they had calculated in advance that Zhu Yuan would fight according to the designated coordinates.

Li Yunlong soon knew what to do, and he ordered loudly: "Everyone, leave the railway line!"

"Get off the railway line!"

"Get off the railway line!"

……

The off-road ability of the half-track vehicle is very strong. Although there is a rough field next to the railway, the half-track vehicle has no difficulty driving on it.

Sure enough, after leaving the railway line, he successfully avoided the bombing area of ​​the devils, and those shells were still smashing towards the no-man's land piece by piece.

Li Yunlong was a little confused, this is the devil's artillery, isn't all devils well-trained?How could this happen? …

But Li Yunlong couldn't control that much, he went on to order:

"Order the vanguard, avoid the railway line, and find the enemy's position!"

"Order the artillery, find the commanding heights as soon as possible, find out the position of the enemy's artillery positions and suppress them!"

Then he waved his hand behind him and shouted: "Everyone is there, get out of the car and follow me!"

As he spoke, he ran towards the direction of the sound of the cannon.

Li Yunlong was obviously right to choose to walk at this time.

If the railway line has been controlled by the devils, then the roads are likely to be marked by the devils.

The half-track vehicles of the Eighth Route Army turned to the road with great difficulty. As long as the devils adjusted the cannons and turned the muzzle of the cannon to face the road, there was another burst of bombardment.

This is the case for mechanized troops, which have too high requirements on the terrain and basically cannot do without roads and railways.

A half-track is much better at this, but if you drive it off-road, the target is too big for the enemy to spot, and the speed will not be much faster than walking.

That doesn't mean that halftracks are useless in such battles, though.

Half-track vehicles follow behind with a large amount of ammunition supplies and vehicle-mounted machine guns, and they will follow wherever the main force advances, and will become an important fire support unit and logistics unit for the army.

At this time, the devils seemed to realize that the Eighth Route Army had escaped from the bombing blockade, so the sound of the artillery gradually weakened, and soon disappeared completely.

Li Yunlong guessed that the devils were at an observation point for the devils' artillery at a certain air command point nearby, and they would tell the devils artillery the position of the Eighth Route Army in real time.

If the Devil Artillery is a veteran, it can continue to intercept the Eighth Route Army in the field, but the Devil Artillery is a novice... there is no way to do this.

Sure enough, the devil's artillery fire did not continue to chase the Eighth Route Army.

This is the shortcoming of bombing with the method of calibrating elements. You can only calibrate a few important points, such as roads and railways. There are too many locations in the field, and you can’t mark them.

Li Yunlong led the troops and ran all the way in the fields. Fortunately, each of the Eighth Route Army had iron feet, otherwise just such a forced march would be unbearable.

About 10 minutes later, gunshots suddenly sounded ahead.

Li Yunlong gave an order, and the soldiers stopped with a "whoosh" and lowered their bodies to hide.

Soon, a communications soldier ran to Li Yunlong and reported: "Regimental Commander, the vanguard troops are engaged with the enemy, field fortifications, occupying high ground and favorable terrain, about 2000 people!"

Li Yunlong just cursed "Damn it!" and then stopped talking.

Zhao Gang asked suspiciously: "What? Is it hard to fight?"

"It's not difficult to fight!" Li Yunlong replied: "The devil must have counted the artillery fire in front of the position. We will fire the artillery as soon as we attack the devil. How will we fight this battle? Even if we can win, our casualties are probably not small!"

Zhao Gang said "Oh": "Then wait for news from the artillery, and see if we can suppress the enemy artillery first!"

At this time, another communication soldier reported: "Regimental Commander, there is no commanding height around us and we cannot find the position of the enemy's artillery positions!"

Li Yunlong couldn't help frowning.

It seems that the devils have found a good terrain. Their position has a high ground that can be defended and can also cover the artillery positions, but the Eighth Route Army is completely empty.

The most serious thing is that the road and railway are still blocked by enemy artillery fire, and it is impossible to go around, unless it is a big bend.

but……

Will there be the same situation or other situations when going around the big bend?

Would it take longer to go round the Great Bend than to wait here for dawn?
