Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Kogoro Watanabe looked at the Sergeant in front of him in astonishment: "Nani? What are you talking about? You said that the city wall of the East City Gate has collapsed by two meters, and almost every shell fired by Tubalu landed accurately. It's on the city wall, and it's still in the same location?"

"Hi Yi!" Devil Jun Cao nodded heavily.

Hearing this, Nojiri Shinpei, the deputy of the squadron next to him, also showed disbelief on his face, because they knew very well the difficulty of manipulating the 150mm caliber howitzer.

With the level of the Japanese elite artillery, it is not difficult to hit and destroy the target.

Firstly, the lethality of the 150mm caliber howitzer is huge. Once fired, all creatures within a radius of 50 meters will be reduced to ashes, and those further away will also be killed by shrapnel and shock waves.

Even lying on the ground, the huge shock wave from the ground will shake the target to the point of damage.

In addition, artillery generally does not bombard with a single cannon, but fires in salvo.

Therefore, it is not difficult to destroy the target.

But even the elite artillery of the Japanese army could not make the shells fall on the same position continuously.

Especially the target is the city wall, this raised target is far more difficult to hit than the flat ground.

If the shooting angle is slightly higher, the shells will fall outside the city, and if the shooting angle is slightly lower, the shells will fall inside the city.

However, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army did what even the elite artillery of the Japanese army could not do. How can this not make Kogoro Watanabe and Shinpei Nojiri, who have always been proud and boast that their Japanese military literacy is invincible in the world, be shocked?
After waiting for several seconds, Nojiri Shinpei recovered from his shock, and immediately asked: "Squadron leader, once the Tuba Road completely blows down the city wall, they will attack immediately, what should we do now? "

Watanabe Kogoro's concentration was obviously much stronger than that of Nojiri Shinpei, he said with a sullen face, "Even if Tobabe blasted a gap in the city wall, they can only attack from this gap.

As long as we concentrate our firepower and block this gap, instead of becoming a breakthrough for Tuba Road, this gap will become their burial place!
And, it's almost dawn! "

At the end, Kogoro Watanabe had a gloomy look on his face.

"Hi! Squadron leader." Nojiri Shinpei nodded again.

……

Who is Li Yunlong?

Not only is he notoriously not afraid of death in battle, but his mind is also very loose. Whenever the battle situation is unfavorable, he can always come up with good ideas to turn the tide of the battle and save the day.

In the TV series "Bright Sword", although sometimes many of Li Yunlong's strategies seem very reckless, such as taking the initiative to attack in the battle of Cangyunling, or concentrating troops to attack Ping'an County.

But in fact, before taking action, Li Yunlong had already weighed in his heart. It is not impossible for the fighters of the new regiment (independent regiment) to sacrifice, but Li Yunlong would never let them sacrifice in vain because of his strategic mistakes.

Another example is that Cheng Xiazi's 772 regiment besieged the Yamazaki Brigade on Lijiapo, and attacked several times in a row. Not only failed to capture it, but lost a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers.

But as soon as Li Yunlong's independent regiment was replaced, the situation immediately reversed.

This undoubtedly illustrates a problem, that is, although Li Yunlong is uneducated, his mind is absolutely flexible and easy to use. …

Therefore, the leader of the devil squadron could think of using machine gun fire to intercept the siege troops, and Li Yunlong naturally thought of this too.

Of course, he would not let the soldiers of Xinyi regiment and other regiments rush forward blindly to die.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom boom!—"

The artillery on the armored train fired at full power, wave after wave, with huge explosions that made the ground tremble continuously, as if an earthquake was coming.

After nearly half an hour of continuous bombing, the city wall near the east city gate was finally knocked down with a gap more than 10 meters wide and nearly 4 meters deep.

Although the gap is still two or three meters high, the bricks and stones that have collapsed from above have formed a buffer zone outside the city. Although it is impossible for the troops to march normally like on the ground, it is no longer possible to rush into the city through this buffer zone. any problem.

While the armored trains continued to bombard the Dongcheng Gate, the battalions of the Xinyi Regiment had assembled under the city of Pingding. At the same time, the artillery battery was also in place and launched an extended attack on the city wall to ensure that there were no remaining Japanese puppets on the city wall. Army exists.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Yunlong immediately stopped the shelling of the armored train, and then gave the order to attack.

The first battalion, as the vanguard, bore the brunt of the attack.

It is worth mentioning that the new first regiment and first battalion now has nearly 2000 troops. Although it is only an emergency unit in name, it is no less than some regiment-level combat units of the Eighth Route Army in terms of strength or combat effectiveness. It is far stronger than those new formations.

The gap that collapsed was more than 10 meters wide, and it was obviously impossible for all the soldiers of the first battalion to rush up.

Zhang Dabiao first asked the machine gunner to set up the machine gun, ready to cover fire at any time, and then let the companies advance one by one.

When the company of soldiers rushing ahead climbed to the highest point of the gap, they rushed directly into the city without crossing the city wall.

Instead, he immediately climbed up the walls on both sides.

It has to be said that their choice was undoubtedly very wise, because almost as soon as they emerged from the high point of the gap in the city wall, there was a burst of fierce gunshots in the city.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Da da da da!——"

In an instant, dense bullets poured down like a gust of wind and rain, although most of the bullets either hit the collapsed masonry or flew out directly from above the gap.

But some bullets still hit the new group of soldiers who rushed up.

"Ugh!"

"Uh, uh..."

Several people were shot in the head and immediately rolled down the slope.

This is war!Even if you are prepared, even if you stand for justice, there will still be casualties.

"hidden!"

"hidden!--"

The rest of the soldiers immediately stopped advancing and lowered their heads.

Some soldiers relied on the gap as a bunker and launched a counter-suppression against the devil's firepower in the city.

The soldiers who charged up the city wall also set up guns on the wall to fight back.

In terms of equipment configuration, the Watanabe Squadron, Gendarmerie, and Security Regiment defending the city are far inferior to the Xinyi Regiment, or even a battalion of the Xinyi Regiment.

Especially machine gun fire.

Being suppressed by the firepower of the first battalion, the devils in the city had to lower their heads to avoid, or shift their positions. In this way, the firepower was suddenly reduced a lot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the rest of the fighters immediately accelerated forward and spread from the walls on both sides.

At the same time, several blasters also entered the city gate cave with explosive packs.
