Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

The deputy brigade commander continued: "As for Cheng Xiazi, who is arrogant and arrogant, he and Li Yunlong are deadly enemies. When they were competing for the main mission of Niangziguan, they fought so hard that they almost didn't make a move.

How could he be willing to submit to Li Yunlong right now? "

"There is also Chen Lian. You must know that his 769 regiment does not belong to our 386 brigade, but to the 385 brigade. For the honor of the 385 brigade, he will definitely not obey Li Yunlong's command."

"I'm really curious about how Li Yunlong did it."

The brigade commander, however, smiled: "Deputy brigade commander, you are right, but not quite right. Xu Shengji, Cheng Xiazi and Chen Lian are more arrogant than the other, and they have a strong sense of honor. They are I will definitely not willingly obey Li Yunlong's command."

After a pause, the brigade commander changed the subject and continued: "But it is precisely this sense of honor that makes them have to temporarily obey Li Yunlong's command."

"Xu Shengji, Cheng Xiazi, and Chen Lian are all veteran party members with high ideological awareness. Not only do they have a strong sense of personal honor, but they care more about collective honor than personal honor."

"Temporarily obeying Li Yunlong's command will make them look very shameless, but if they fail to take down the target stronghold, they will lose not only their personal honor, but also their regiment, their brigade, and even our entire 129th Division, and even The honor of the entire Eighth Route Army."

"However, the armored train in Li Yunlong's hands can allow them to easily take down the mission target, and it can also greatly reduce their casualties."

"Li Yunlong has figured this out, do you think they can disobey Li Yunlong's command?"

Everyone suddenly realized that, indeed, compared to the collective honor and disgrace and the lives of soldiers, personal honor is really nothing.

The brigade commander continued: "Besides, Xu Shengji and the others can get a lot of spoils by taking down those mission bases, and with the assistance of armored trains, their ammunition consumption will also be greatly reduced. The benefits are countless.

If it was you, would you disobey Li Yunlong's command? "

The deputy brigade commander, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff Wang and others all laughed. Although the saying "If you have milk, you are a mother" is very unpleasant, Xu Shengji, Cheng Xiazi and Chen Lian, and even Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie They are all such people.

Don't look at one of them usually dissatisfied with the other, it's because the two parties have conflicting interests, if one of them can lead the other to get rich, then the expression of the other will definitely take a 180-degree turn.

Don't just listen to his command, just accept him as a godfather.

It's so realistic!

Of course, the so-called "Whoever has milk is a mother" is only aimed at the internal members of the Eighth Route Army. If it is devils and puppet soldiers, no matter how many benefits are given to them, they will not be able to betray the organization and the people.

……

Pingding County.

The captain of the garrison squadron in Pingding County was named Watanabe Kogoro, so this garrison squadron was also called Watanabe Squadron.

Because of the news of the connection to Yangquan County and the successive capture of major strongholds, plus the telegram sent by Yoshio Shinozuka from the Taiyuan Headquarters.

The devils stationed in Pingding County have long lost their former prestige, and they all fell silent in fright, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would take him to pacify the county in the next step.

Therefore, Watanabe Kogoro not only ordered everyone not to sleep, but also strengthened the security of the county town, especially the security of the two city gates.

Pingding is a small county, so there are only two gates, east and west, instead of four gates like Yangquan County.

In front of the East City Gate, a group of devils and puppet soldiers on duty stood guard on the city wall in full armor.

Although they had been standing for most of the night, the gang of devils did not feel sleepy at all.

Of course, those puppet soldiers were yawning, just because there were devils watching, even though they were sleepy, they only dared to squint quietly.

At this moment, a bright beam of light suddenly shone from the east.

After the initial surprise, the devil on duty immediately responded: "The armored train is the armored train of the Imperial Army!"

"Not good, the Eighth Route Army is going to attack Pingding County, report to the squadron leader, hurry up!"

The devils on the city wall suddenly seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. Except for one devil who hurried to make a phone call, the rest of the devils took off the rifles carried on their shoulders, loaded them, and leaned over behind the battlements with their guns.

The puppet soldiers also lost all sleepiness in an instant.

……

The devil's guess was completely correct. This beam of light was shining from the headlights of the armored train.

At this moment, the armored train slowly stopped about 4 kilometers away from Pingding County.

It's not that Li Yunlong didn't want the armored train to get closer to increase the shooting accuracy of the artillery.

It is true that the Zhengtai Railway does not pass through the county seat, and even the railway station is located outside the city, 4 kilometers away is already the closest location to the east gate of the county seat.

In addition, heavy artillery is different from small-caliber mortars. The effective range of heavy artillery exceeds 15 kilometers, and it does not mean that the closer you shoot, the more accurate you are.

On the contrary, a target that is too close cannot be hit.

The distance of 3-5 kilometers is the best range for heavy artillery.

As soon as the armored train stopped, a new regiment of soldiers on the roof got off the car one after another, and then, led by the battalion commanders, quickly ran towards Pingding County.

At the same time, Langya's observers also ran towards the nearby high point holding the telephone and artillery mirror, and the rest of the team immediately began to adjust and shoot at the east gate of Pingding County.

Everything seemed tense, but it was actually quite orderly.

After about 10 minutes.

The time came to 5 o'clock in the morning.

Duan Peng put down the phone and reported to Li Yunlonghui: "Old leader, all the artillery has been aimed at the east gate of Pingding County!"

Li Yunlong nodded: "Then fire!"

"Yes!"

Duan Peng promised, then grabbed the phone and said: "This is the command vehicle, open fire immediately! Until the east gate is blown down!"

Cheng Xiazi, Xu Shengji, and Chen Lian immediately came to the window of the car and raised their binoculars to look towards the east gate of Pingding County.

Not long after, they heard a muffled sound of 'tom tom tom', and at the same time they clearly felt the shaking of the train, and it was more violent than every firing before.

The 150mm caliber howitzer is deployed!

Although there are not many cannons on the armored train, there are only a dozen or so, but the smallest calibers are 75mm field cannons and dual-purpose cannons.

In addition, there are four 4mm caliber howitzers and one 105mm caliber heavy howitzer.

Although only a dozen shells were fired in one round of salvo, the lethality of this round of salvo is not weaker than that of an artillery battalion of the national army, or even a round of salvo by artillery regiment...
