Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

In the field of vision of Li Yunlong's telescope, he could only see scarlet flames rising from the ground one after another.

The gun towers, fences, circular fortifications and other buildings of Niangziguan collapsed in the flames, and all kinds of broken bricks and tiles flew around with the explosion shock wave, scattered everywhere.

There were also some devil sentries on duty, who happened to be at the point where the shells fell, and they were thrown out with their guns.

Some devils were dismembered by the volley before they landed, and bloody stumps and broken arms were scattered all over the ground.

The shells fired by Langya did not hit every shot, and some of the shells missed and landed outside the devil's stronghold, which made Li Yunlong call it a pity: "Ouch! It's a pity that it missed!"

Then he ordered to the communications soldier on the side: "Order the artillery company, and let me blow it up too! Quick!"

"Yes!"

The communication soldier promised to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Li Yunlong: "Wait a minute!"

The communications soldier looked at Li Yunlong suspiciously: "Commander, do you have any other instructions?"

Li Yunlong: "Tell those boys in Pao Lian to aim at a certain point when they fire. I have already marked the position by them, and don't blow to the ordnance repair shop and logistics warehouse.

Otherwise, if the loot is blown up, I want them to pay for it! "

"Yes!"

The correspondent promised again, waited for a while, and turned to leave after seeing that Li Yunlong had no other instructions.

……

The screen zooms to Niangziguan Railway Station.

Turn the time back to 10 minutes ago.

The garrison of the railway station is the 1st independent mixed brigade, the 1st brigade of the 1st independent infantry regiment, the captain of the brigade is named Sakai Jiro, so it is also called the Sakai brigade.

Although the Eighth Route Army did not launch an attack on Niangziguan for a long time, at 12:40, he was awakened from his sleep by the signal soldiers on duty.

When he learned that the Eighth Route Army had launched an attack on 12 large strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway, the old devil immediately realized that something was wrong.

Immediately stood up and got up, and held a military meeting of officers above the squadron level overnight.

At the meeting, Sakai Jiro first recounted the situation of the second-level strongholds being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and then told everyone that the brigade commander Masao Yasuoka asked them to strengthen their defenses against the Eighth Route Army's attacks.

Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, a ghost captain said with disdain: "Captain, if you ask me to say that the brigade commander's worries are completely superfluous."

Sakai Jiro frowned and asked, "Miyamoto-kun, what do you mean?"

Captain Guizi said: "Captain, others don't know what the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are, but you should be very clear, although this time a large-scale attack on the Imperial Army's stronghold was carried out, and the strength of the troops exposed was somewhat beyond our expectations.

But their troops not only lacked training, but also lacked weapons and equipment, and there were almost no heavy firepower weapons for tackling tough situations.

Such a humble army might be able to capture a few small strongholds of the imperial army by virtue of its numbers, but it would definitely not be able to threaten a super-large stronghold with strong fortifications like Niangziguan.

Even, in my opinion, they couldn't even capture those secondary strongholds of the imperial army.

The reason why they launched the attack was mostly to encircle a point for reinforcements, wait for the imperial army's garrison to rush to reinforce them, and then set up an ambush halfway. "

It's not that the devil's captain's strategic vision has reached the level of Koizumi Jiro and Yasuo Masatomi, but that he has suffered this kind of hardship. Once before, a small stronghold near Niangziguan was attacked. He went to the reinforcements and was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the way. Although he successfully broke through the encirclement in the end, he also paid the price of hundreds of casualties, so his memory grew.

The words of the ghost captain were immediately unanimously agreed by several other captains and squadron leaders.

"Well, I agree with Miyamoto-kun's analysis. The Eighth Route Army would never dare to attack Niangziguan!"

"I also agree with Sakai-kun's analysis..."

In fact, not only the captains of the captains, Sakai Jiro also thought so in his heart, but he just opened his mouth, before he had time to speak, suddenly there was a shocking explosion outside.

"Boom!"

Then came the second, and then the third.

One of the shells fell right next to the conference room. The huge shock wave directly overturned half of the wall, and the roof was also hit. Various broken tiles continued to fall down.

A few unlucky devil officers were hit on the head a few times, and they were immediately hit with stars in their eyes and peach blossoms in their faces.

Sakai Jiro was lucky, he was not hit by tiles, but he was covered in dust. He shook his head, and shouted angrily, "Baga! What's going on, where did the explosion come from?"

Immediately, Sakai Jiro immediately led his troops to run outside, wanting to see what happened.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a devil second lieutenant on duty ran over in disgrace, and the two almost bumped into each other.

Second Lieutenant Guizi hurriedly reported: "Report to the captain, we have been attacked by artillery fire!"

Sakai Jiro asked: "Where did these shells come from?"

Second Lieutenant Guizi: "It's not clear yet."

"Baga, idiot! The imperial army stronghold was bombed, and you don't even know where the shells came from. You were asked to be on duty, what did you do?"

Sakai Jiro immediately flew into a rage when he heard the words, raised his hand and swung it round, and yelled at the face of the Second Lieutenant Devil.

"Snapped!"

Amid the crisp and loud applause, the left side of the second lieutenant's face swelled instantly, and five bright red finger prints were clearly visible.

If you are beaten, you have to stand at attention. The internal hierarchy of the Japanese army is extremely strict. The second lieutenant of Guizi did not dare to complain at all, and even bowed his body, waiting for the next slap from the captain Sakai Jiro.

But his heart is bitter, who knows that the other party is so ignorant of martial arts, and engages in sneak attacks with artillery fire, how could he know where the shells came from in a hurry.

"hurricane!"

"Hurricane!—"

At this moment, the ears of Sakai Jiro and others suddenly heard the sound of piercing through the air, which was the buzzing sound of shells rushing against the air.

Sakai Jiro and the others felt their heads buzzing, and someone shouted: "No, it's a howitzer, hurry up and dodge!"

Sakai Jiro and others immediately scattered and ran away, lying on the ground, several of them hit the guards and still defended Sakai Jiro.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

The next moment, the shells fell to the ground and exploded one after another, setting off clusters of scarlet flames on the ground.

Some shells landed inside Niangziguan Railway Station, and the blast wave destroyed some construction works, and several devil soldiers nearby were also blown out.

There were also two shells falling outside, but they did not cause any damage to the devils.

After the devil guards protecting his back got up, Sakai Jiro also stood up with a livid face. He glanced around with almost murderous eyes and said, "Where did the shells I saw this time come from?" ?"
