Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 432 The hard-pressed Cheng Xiazi: At the critical moment, why did the devil's armored train come?

It was Cheng Xiazi's 772 regiment that attacked the flat stronghold. In addition, there was a new regiment responsible for coordinated operations.

As one of the main regiments of the 772th Brigade of the 129th Division, the 386nd Regiment is second only to Wang Chengzhu's Second Independent Regiment and Li Yunlong's New First Regiment in combat effectiveness, and is much stronger than Ding Wei's Independent Regiment.

Among the 129 regiments of the 30th Division, it is enough to rank in the top three, and even if the scope is expanded to the entire Eighth Route Army, it is enough to rank in the top five, or even the top three.

Cheng Xiazi's strategic vision and tactical command ability may not be as good as Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, but among so many regiment leaders of the Eighth Route Army, he can be regarded as outstanding.

Therefore, Cheng Xiazi did not disappoint the trust of the brigade commander. It took less than 3 hours to fill up a lot of double trenches around the flat stronghold, allowing the troops to pass through.

The two barbed wire fences with barbs were also pushed to the ground.

This was done under the suppression of the devil's firepower, and it was not as simple as just using shovels and hoes to dig and backfill.

The channel has been opened, and then the attack can be launched to the core position of the flat stronghold.

Cheng Xiazi's 772, as one of the four main regiments of the 129th Division, originally had a mortar platoon. Later, he fought several victories with Wang Chengzhu and was assigned several mortars.

Today, the artillery platoon has been expanded into an artillery company, with a total of 4 90mm caliber Type 2 light mortars, 81 4mm caliber mortars, and 60 [-]mm caliber small mortars.

After the passage was opened, Cheng Xiazi immediately concentrated all the mortars of the artillery company, preparing to carry out a 'chemical' attack on the northeast corner of the flat stronghold.

The so-called chemical attack is to use modified pepper bombs to attack.

Li Yunlong's invention was recognized by the brigade commander and promoted to the entire Eighth Route Army.

Of course, the premise is that you have mortars and shells.

This chemical bomb, although pepper is added to the body of the bomb, which reduces the amount of explosives and will reduce the explosion damage, but whether it is a Type 81 light mortar or an [-]mm caliber mortar, the destructive power is relatively limited, and it may be able to attack ordinary bombs. The target of the enemy cannot blow up the devil's gun tower.

Ding Wei's plan was not to use pepper bombs to blow up the devil's gun towers.

His intention was simple, to use the chemical properties of peppers to reduce the devil's combat effectiveness, and then tear a hole from the northeast corner.

Then break into the flat stronghold from this opening, looking for opportunities to cover the blaster's approach to the devil's bunkers and gun towers, expand the results of the battle, and even take the entire stronghold directly.

According to the information provided by Wang Chengzhu, the defense in the northeast corner of the flat stronghold is the weakest.

The 772 regiment is not as aggressive as Wang Chengzhu's independent second regiment, especially the artillery shells, which are strategic weapons and must be used carefully and carefully.

Therefore, after only three rounds of salvo, Cheng Xiazi stopped the bombardment, then raised his hand and raised the shell gun above his head, ready to fire and give the order to attack.

However, at this moment, a bright beam of light suddenly shone from the east, illuminating the mountain in front of it like daytime.

Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of "woo woo woo" sirens.

Seeing the beam of light and hearing the sound of the siren, Cheng Xiazi was so anxious that shit was about to pop out.

Damn, devil's armored train?Isn't this already open to Niangziguan?

Did the surprise attack of the Spike Special Forces fail?
Suddenly, Cheng Xiazi thought of an even more terrifying result.

The devil's armored train suddenly changed direction, and it must have received news that the flat base was in an emergency.

And they came from the direction of Niangziguan. Doesn't this mean that Li Yunlong and Kong Jie's attack also failed?
What happened to the new first group and the new second group?

At this time, Cheng Xiazi's thoughts were interrupted by the questioning of the chief of staff next to him: "Commander, what should we do now? Are you still going to attack?"

"Attack?" Cheng Xiazi said unhappily: "The devil's armored trains have arrived. According to Captain Wang, they are equipped with 105mm caliber howitzers. With our dense offensive formation, one cannon will kill a company. up.

How can we fight this battle, let the brothers die in vain? "

"That's right! The firepower of the devil's armored train is too fierce, we simply can't stand it."

The chief of staff frowned and said, paused, then changed the topic and continued: "I don't know what's going on with the new first regiment and the new second regiment?"

"Does that matter?" Cheng Xiazi gritted his teeth and said, "The devil's armored trains have all turned back from Niangziguan. The attack of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment must have failed."

"You know Li Yunlong's stubborn temper. He never gives up easily. I'm afraid that Xinyituan will suffer a lot this time. I don't know if it will be worse than Cangyunling's time!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiazi became more and more worried. He was worried about the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment. After all, these were the teams that the Eighth Route Army had pulled together with great difficulty.

Especially the new second regiment, which has not fought a good battle since its formation.

But more, it was ammunition for Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

Especially worried about Li Yunlong, the old squad leader.

Don't look at the fact that when the two of them competed for the main attack mission in front of the brigade commander, their faces were flushed, and they wished to beat each other to the ground, but their revolutionary friendship was still very deep in private.

"Regimental Commander, is this the way to go?" The chief of staff looked unwilling, because they had paid so much and killed hundreds of soldiers before they finally filled the trench and pushed the barbed wire to the ground. It's time for the fruits of victory.

"Forget it? How is it possible to forget it?" Cheng Xiazi stared at some red eyes and said, "Let's stop attacking flat strongholds and attack the devil's armored trains! Express your anger for my two old comrades-in-arms!"

The chief of staff was a little confused when he heard that: "The armored train that hits the devil, this thing is not easy to fight."

Cheng Xiazi: "The devil's armored train not only has powerful firepower, but also has thick armor as protection. It is really difficult to fight if it is not easy to fight."

After a pause, Cheng Xiazi changed the subject and continued, "However, if you say it's easy to fight, it's easy to fight!"

"At present, the control of the battlefield of the entire flat stronghold has fallen into the hands of our army. The devil's infantry cannot effectively protect the armored train, so we can easily get close to the devil's armored train."

"As long as we move our hands and feet on the rails a little, we can make it derail, or even roll over. In the end, can't this lump of iron be slaughtered by us?"

"Time is running out, start preparations immediately, the blasters quickly place explosives on the rails, and the rest of the fighters move rocks onto the rails!"

"Yes, Captain!"

When the chief of staff heard it, he seemed to feel that it made sense, and after a promise, he immediately turned around and made preparations.
