I am helping

Chapter 183 Ding is happy, Kong is fun!
A platoon and the militia were left to clean up the battlefield, and then Kong Jie assembled his troops.

They also sent communications troops to notify the Second Battalion to move in the direction of Shouyang.

The [-] members of the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment headed for Shouyang County along the Zhengtai Railway.

After marching forward for about an hour, I vaguely heard the sound of guns and artillery from the front, and the sound became louder as I walked forward.

After passing a corner, the front suddenly became clear. Not only could you hear the clear sound of guns and guns, but you could also see a large area of ​​gunpowder rising up in front of you, and the battle was in full swing.

The commanders and fighters of the new second regiment are rushing towards the devil's stronghold on the opposite side, and the battle is intensified.

Keeping the team in place, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led the guards towards the headquarters of the New Second Regiment.

Ding Wei was in the regiment headquarters and said loudly to the communications soldiers: "Tell the third battalion commander, I don't want casualties, I just want the Zhangzhuang stronghold."

"Yes!" The communications soldier gave a military salute, turned around and left.

The political commissar of the New Second Regiment persuaded: "Regimental Commander, why don't you let the Third Battalion withdraw first, the casualties in this fight may not be small."

Due to the terrain, the New Second Regiment had three battalions and could only deploy one battalion to attack from the front.

There are a few mortars in the devil's stronghold, and the Italian field artillery and infantry artillery of the New Second Regiment can't aim and shoot directly, and the effect of curved fire is not ideal.

However, the machine gun firepower of the New Second Regiment was not strong enough to effectively suppress the firepower of the devils and puppet troops in the stronghold.

Of course, for the New Second Regiment, it is only a matter of time before they take down this large stronghold, and the casualties will be higher.

"Withdraw?" Ding Wei said, "Nonsense, the battle is like this, and then withdrawing is not a waste of time for the enemy to breathe?"

"Now the devil on the opposite side and us are holding back a lot of energy. Whoever vents this energy first will gain the upper hand in morale."

"Then we have to think of a way." The political commissar advised again.

Ding Wei looked thoughtful, then nodded, and said loudly:

"Give me an order to gather the grenadiers of the whole regiment to the third battalion, and use the grenades to suppress the devil's mortars for me."

"The artillerymen pushed the Italian field and infantry guns to the front, aimed straight at me, and knocked out the enemy's turrets and pillboxes."

The communications soldier quickly ran out of the command post to convey the order.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie ran into the communication soldier head-on, and the two asked the guards to wait outside, and they walked into Ding Wei's headquarters hand in hand.

"Old Li? Old Kong?" Ding Wei raised his binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield, turned around and just saw two people stooping in, "Why are you here?"

With a laugh, Li Yunlong said: "I heard that your old man needs artillery support, so Lao Kong and I came here specially."

Ding Wei's eyes lit up: "Old Li, you brought your Shanpao battalion too?"

The Political Commissar of the New Second Regiment couldn't help but look happy.

Kong Jie picked up the binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield: "Old Ding, your troops' attack seems to be not going well."

"This Zhuang stronghold is a bit difficult to attack." Ding Wei said, "Lao Li, quickly set up your mountain artillery battalion and provide artillery support for my troops."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "You are really rude."

"Which one of us is with whom? I'm being polite to you, so why don't we see each other?"

Ding Wei's tone was a little hasty, and if he was delayed by a minute, some soldiers would have to be sacrificed.

Li Yunlong acted vigorously and resolutely, without ink marks, turned his head and shouted outside: "Tiger!"

"Have!"

Huang Erhu ran into the headquarters and straightened up.

"Pass my order, the Shanpao Battalion will immediately aim at the Zhangzhuang stronghold and provide artillery support to the brother troops."

"Tell Wang Chengzhu, don't save Lao Tzu shells, you must fight for 4 rounds."

"Go!"

"Yes!" Huang Erhu snapped a military salute, and then walked outside.

At that moment, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei all gathered in front of the observation hole of the headquarters and looked at the devil's stronghold on the opposite side.

……

Huang Erhu soon passed the order to Wang Chengzhu.

Wang Chengzhu immediately ordered the Shanpao Battalion to set up the cannon.

In order to prevent being attacked by the air, each gun was widely spaced apart, and more than [-] camouflage nets were drawn around.

And there are 37 machine guns around to protect the Shanpao Battalion at all times.

Under this kind of protection, unless the Japanese army dispatched a bomber fleet of [-] or [-] planes, it would be difficult for a few fighter jets to threaten the Shanpao Battalion.

The ground next to the railway foundation is almost flat, and the mountain cannon is pulled by mules, so the time for assembly is saved.

In less than 5 minutes, the mountain artillery battalion was ready. The artillery positions were on the other side of the mountain, and the devils could not see the new artillery positions.

As the artillery observer sent the shooting parameters from the front, Wang Chengzhu first ordered a test shot.

A 75mm caliber grenade escaped, crossed the hill, and fell towards the Nanzhuang stronghold.

The observer quickly adjusted the shooting parameters according to the impact point, and then communicated to the artillery on the artillery position.

Immediately afterwards, all the 12 mountain cannons fired, and with the muffled sound of the cannons ejecting from the chambers, dust was flying all over the positions of the cannons.

In the Nanzhuang stronghold, the leader of the Guizi Squadron is commanding Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers to fight against the Eighth Route Army.

At first, when the first shell landed in the stronghold, the leader of the devil squadron didn't pay much attention, because he knew that there was a 75mm artillery on the opposite side.

During the fierce battle, the leader of the Devil Squadron did not notice any difference between this shell and the shell fired by the eight routes before.

But soon, the leader of the Devil Squadron heard squeaking shells screaming above his head, and there were a lot of sounds.

The sound was inconspicuous amidst the dense gunfire, but it couldn't hide from the ears of veterans like devils.

"Nani?" In the terrified eyes of the leader of the devil squadron, screams passed through the rising and falling gunpowder smoke, from far to near.

After a while, groups of shells fell into the stronghold. Amid the earth-shaking explosion, the entire Nanzhuang stronghold was filled with gunpowder and shrapnel flew across.

"idiot!"

While avoiding the artillery fire, the devils cursed one after another.

Is Eight Roads unaffordable?

What does it mean to not fire for a long time, and suddenly fire in the middle of the battle, and it is covered by large-caliber artillery fire as soon as it comes up?Don't talk about martial arts?

The soldiers of the third battalion of the new second regiment who were attacking were also a little dazed.

what's the situation?Where did the artillery support come from?

But watching the bunkers and gun towers in the devil's stronghold were blown up like rotten ones under artillery fire, the expressions of the soldiers quickly turned into excitement and joy.

No matter where the shells come from, as long as the shells fall on the devil's head, it is a good shell!

"Forward!" The third battalion commander did not give up this opportunity, and led the soldiers towards the stronghold.

The artillery fire spread wantonly in the store. After four rounds of artillery shelling, the entire Nanzhuang stronghold had been plowed by 75mm caliber shells, and there were bomb craters and ruins everywhere.

Most of the gun towers and bunkers collapsed, and all the machine gun positions that the devils had built up with sandbags were destroyed, and the devils and puppet soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Some soldiers from the New Second Regiment had cut short the barbed wire fence, set up wooden ladders and jumped over the blockade ditch.

After the gunfire stopped, the gunpowder smoke dispersed quickly. The devils who survived the artillery fire were still stubbornly resisting, but the puppet army had lost the courage to resist.

There is not much suspense in the battle.

In the headquarters of the new second regiment, seeing more and more soldiers rushing into the stronghold, Ding Wei knew that the overall situation was settled.

"Ha ha…"

"Happy, this battle is really fucking happy!"

"An artillery battalion covered by 12 American mountain cannons is so damn happy!"

"I just took a look. At least half of the devils and puppet soldiers were killed and injured by shells."

Ding Wei's brows stretched out, his tone was uplifting, and there was a smile on his face.

"Excellent, enjoyable, this battle was enjoyable!" Kong Jie also grinned slightly.

"Old Li, it seems that old Ding owes you a favor again." Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong and said.

"What kind of human feelings are not human feelings, which one of us is with whom?" Li Yunlong said.

After a pause, Li Yunlong asked: "Old Ding, have you completed the mission of your regiment?"

"All the tasks have been completed." Ding Wei nodded and said, "The task given to our regiment by the headquarters is five days, and our regiment completed it in less than three days. Lao Li, is this speed okay?"

"It's so-so." Li Yunlong said, "It's a bit faster than Lao Kong's independent regiment, and a little worse than our new regiment. I completed the task in just one day."

"Old Li, what do you mean by that?"

Ding Wei asked: "Didn't your regiment want to contain the devils in Yangquan for five days in Lion Mountain? How did you complete the task? What will you do for the remaining four days?"

Ding Wei really couldn't figure it out, how could it be possible to complete the five-day containment task in one day?
Kong Jie smiled and said, "Old Li, he wiped out all the devils in Yangquan, and took down Yangquan. Naturally, the containment task has been completed ahead of schedule."

"What are you talking about, your Xinyi regiment took down Yangquan?" Ding Weiwen's eyes widened suddenly, and his tone was unbelievable.

The political commissar of the New Second Regiment next to Ding Wei almost lost his eyes.

Kong Jie continued: "Old Li not only took down Yangquan, but also killed the old devil Mitake Tsuda, and even successfully seized the ammunition warehouse and grain depot in Yangquan City."

"Old Li, you are not interesting enough." Ding Wei said, "Why don't you ask me to do such a good thing with Lao Kong?"

"Isn't it Yangquan? Our group is enough."

"Besides, I didn't provide you with artillery support. It will take a lot of effort for your regiment to take down this Nanzhuang stronghold."

"Our old Li is very interested in you, Lao Ding and Lao Kong."

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "There is an opportunity to make a fortune right now, what about Lao Ding, do you dare to do it together?"

Ding Wei's expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What opportunity?"

"Attack Shouyang County." Li Yunlong raised his head and said, "I have already received news from the brigade commander that tomorrow the brigade commander will gather the main regiments of the 386th Brigade to attack Shouyang County together. The brigade commander has even made a battle plan. "

"Right now Cheng Xiazi's 772 regiment is building strongholds over there in Pingding. Anyway, all three of our regiments have completed their tasks."

"Let's gather our forces and go straight to Shouyang County and beat it down."

"One less regiment to participate in the battle, one less regiment will share the spoils. With the firepower and equipment of our three regiments, there is no problem in taking Shouyang County."

When fighting Yangquan, Li Yunlong dared to do it alone because there were not many devils in Yangquan City.

In Shouyang County, there is also a brigade of more than 700 devils, and another battalion of puppet soldiers, adding up to more than 1000 people.

If it was in the wild, these devils and puppet soldiers would not be the opponent of the new regiment.

But this is a siege, and it will be difficult for the Xinyi Regiment to take Shouyang County. Even if they can win it in the end, the Xinyi Regiment will definitely suffer heavy losses, so Li Yunlong needs to find two helpers.

Seeing that Ding Wei was still hesitating, Li Yunlong said again: "How about it, old Ding, do you dare to do it?"

"If you don't dare to do it, kid, don't say that I won't make a fortune with you in the future."

"Old Ding, let's do it!" Kong Jie persuaded, "Let's take down Shouyang County and make a fortune together!"

Ding Wei asked: "If Shouyang County is captured, how will the spoils be distributed?"

Li Yunlong said: "The three groups are divided equally."

"Since you two are talking about this, then I have nothing to say." Ding Wei said, "Damn it!"
