I am helping

Chapter 355 Our Eighth Route Army is fighting against the locust guards!
"Master, why don't you take command of this battle?"

"Shall I help you?"

Li Yunlong looked at the teacher and said.

The teacher asked: "Let me ask you, how many weapons and ammunition have you prepared?"

Li Yunlong replied truthfully: "There are about 200 million rounds of bullets, more than 5 shells, and more than 6 grenades."

In order to severely injure or even kill the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, in addition to the 48 cannons transferred back by Li Yunlong, there are also 36 cannons belonging to the Division Artillery Regiment.

These 84 cannons prepared two base numbers of shells, that is, more than 2 rounds.

In addition to the more than 200 shells prepared by 3 mortars, it is estimated that there are more than 5 shells in total.

That's not even counting grenades, rifle grenades, and rockets, it's more if you add them up.

Although it is not necessary to shoot out so many shells, it is necessary to be prepared. After all, this is a Japanese army division plus a puppet army division.

After all, this was adapted from the permanent guard division, and the emperor's guard should respect it.

The 36 cannons directly under the artillery regiment of the headquarters were taken away by the boss and the chief of staff, and went to besiege the 36th Regiment of the Japanese Army.

"So much ammunition?"

The teacher's gaze suddenly became somewhat surprised and fiery.

After a pause, the division commander waved his hand again: "Forget it, no one will reimburse me for ammunition when I command, so I won't take your boy's command right."

Although the division commander really wanted to command such a big battle, but in order to have fun, he lost the opportunity to reimburse weapons and ammunition.

It's like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon, it's not worth it.

"Okay then, sir, just rest here and watch how I beat him up, what kind of emperor's guard, our Eighth Route Army is fighting the emperor's guard."

Li Yunlong was secretly happy, the commander didn't want his command, so he could do it freely.

But on the surface, he pretended to have an expression of pity for the teacher, and at the same time expressed his opinion.

"I won't look at it, I will leave you two regiments in reserve." The teacher said, "I will take the other two regiments to support the head of the headquarters."

Li Yunlong knew that the 36th Regiment of the Japanese Army was a stubble, so he said: "Master, you can take the other two regiments with you. I have enough troops and I don't need a reserve team."

Right now he has four trump cards in his hand: air support, 84 guns with a caliber above 75 mm, more than 200 mortars, and the main force of the new regiment.

Coupled with the superiority of troops, the ammunition is sufficient.

With this configuration, if he couldn't kill the 2nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army, Li Yunlong might as well just go home and coax his children.

"Alright then." The division commander nodded, patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, gave a few words of encouragement, and then turned and left the Taihang Column headquarters.

Watching the teacher get on his horse and leave, Li Yunlong turned back to the map, pointed at the map and said:

"Huzi, give me an order to set up the mortar position here, and here and here."

Huang Erhu looked at the map, remembered the location of the mortar positions, turned around and gave the order through a high-power walkie-talkie.

After more than half an hour.

A mortar force of more than 200 people filed up the hill behind Huojiazhuang.

The location of Huojiazhuang is halfway up the mountain, just opposite to the main intersection that enters the Huangyadong Arsenal.

At this time, Huojiazhuang was empty, and the main force of Ding Wei's first attack group was ambushing on the mountain behind Huojiazhuang.

Ding Wei's headquarters is also located here, and the location here is also excellent. Once the battle is fought, you can overlook the entire battlefield.

Watching the artillerymen of the new regiment carrying more than 60 mortars, they came to the ridgeline of the top of the mountain, and behind them there were a steady stream of logistics personnel carrying ammunition boxes up.

When these artillerymen came to the reverse slope of the ridgeline of the ridge, they set up their cannons one after another, aimed their thumbs at the road below the mountain, and then adjusted their shots.

Seeing this scene, Ding Wei was shocked. Where did Li Yunlong get so many mortars and shells?

Ding Wei called the artillery company commander to him and asked him, "Where did your regiment commander get so many mortars and shells?"

His 1st attack group had 4 infantry regiments. Before the battle, Li Yunlong supplemented each regiment with 8 mortars, and now has an average of 10 mortars.

In addition to these more than 60 mortars, there are already more than 100 mortars here, a proper group of mortars.

"Report to Commander Ding, the director of the arsenal project lent it to our regiment."

The commander of the artillery company answered truthfully.

"borrowed…"

Ding Wei had a look of pity on his face. The mortars belonged to Li Yunlong. After the war, he could ask for 2 or 30 mortars.

After all, Li Yunlong's regiment only has so many artillery, and he can't use so many mortars, unless he has one mortar.

Ding Wei's tone was serious: "Go ahead, the devil will come later, beat the son of a bitch hard."

"Yes!" The artillery company commander straightened up, turned around and directed the artillerymen to set up the artillery.

Looking at the rows of mortars on the reverse slope at the ridgeline and the piles of shell boxes, Ding Wei looked expectant.

Good guy, so fucking rich, enough for a devil to drink a pot of.

Although the 60mm mortar is only a company-level support weapon, it is extremely powerful when used in large numbers.

Not far from the headquarters, the commanders and fighters of the 1st attack group also looked excited.

It was the first time I saw many soldiers using so many mortars in a concentrated manner. This was much richer than devils.

Not only Ding Wei's 1st attack group, Kong Jie's 2nd attack group and Cheng Shifa's 3rd attack group also each received enhanced firepower from more than 30 mortars.

However, because the position of the first attack group is more critical and can take care of the entire battlefield, so he has more mortars here.

……

"The forward search team reported that it has arrived in the Huojiazhuang area."

"I was blocked by a small group of troops from the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army planted a lot of mines on the main road. The search wing is moving forward."

Two hours later, the Chief of Staff of the 2nd Konoe Division of the Japanese Army, Chief of Staff Nakazawa, reported to Kunomura Momoyo.

Kunomura Momoyo looked at the map, and his expression changed slightly: "Yoxi, the search wing is only 3 kilometers away from the outskirts of the Eighth Route Arsenal."

"Yes!" Zhongze Sheng said, "Go west along the main road, and then turn over two hills, and you will reach the periphery of the Eighth Route Armory."

Afterwards, Zhongze Shengyi brought another map and said, "Commander, this is a map drawn by the Royal Army's combat staff based on Wang Fugui and others' narration about the Eighth Route Army's Hongyadong arsenal. This is Huangyadong. It is a steep stone wall, and according to the aviation survey, the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army is located in the cave in the middle of the stone wall."

"Beside Huangya Cave is Shuiyao Mountain, surrounded by mountains and a basin in the middle."

"The other side is the Yixiantian marked on the map. After the 36th Regiment arrives, it will attack the Eighth Route Arsenal from the direction of Yixiantian."

"Fight on both sides with my 2nd Guards Division and take down the Eighth Route Arsenal in one fell swoop."

"Yoshi!" Kunomura Momoyo narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded:
"Just half an hour ago, Commander Shinozuka sent a telegram. According to intelligence, the equipment in the arsenal of the Eighth Road is still there, and the workers have not yet escaped."

Zhongze Sheng's eyes were fixed, and his tone was indifferent: "Even if Balu wanted to run now, he couldn't run away."

……

After arriving at Huojiazhuang, the search unit of the 2nd Guards Division turned a corner and continued to search and attack forward.

Just now, the search wing was attacked by about a battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

The search wing reimbursed another 3 Type [-] tanks.

This time is different from the past, the attacking firepower of the Eight Routes is very fierce, and it is served by grenadier and mortar firepower as soon as it comes up.

There is also the fierce anti-tank weapon, which hits with firepower as soon as they meet. If the 3rd Wing hadn't come up in time, the Search Wing would probably have few casualties left.

Jinzhong Wuyi didn't know that this was just an ordinary company of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing the arrival of the devil's support troops, the company commander chose to retreat without any reluctance to fight.

When the devils fired at once, the infantry artillery, grenadiers and other firepower hit them, and when they rushed up again, the Eighth Route Army had run away without a trace.

And the dozens of devils who rushed to the position flew into the sky amidst a violent explosion.

The soldiers of the new engineering company buried a lot of explosives in the position, and the smokeless gunpowder explosives produced by their own arsenal were matched with grenades.

The detonator is wrapped around the explosive package and the grenade, and then detonated with a detonator modified from a telephone. The power is no less than that of a 105-caliber shell.

The 2rd Wing of the 3nd Guards Division followed behind the search wing.

The long marching team pulled out a queue at least 1 kilometer long.

Tadao Matsui, the leader of the 3rd Wing, pushed open the top cover of the Type [-] tank, poked his head out, and raised his binoculars to look at the search wing ahead.

I saw that the search wing had stopped and was removing landmines.

Tadao Matsui looked at the surrounding terrain with a telescope. The terrain here is indeed dangerous, with mountains on both sides, and the Japanese army is in the canyon at this time.

However, Matsui Tadao did not think there would be an ambush on the Eight Routes.

Because in the past two days, the Japanese army passed through countless such canyons. The Taihang Mountains in southeast Shanxi are full of ravines.

What's more, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the 37th Division. Even if there is an ambush, it is only a small scale and nothing to fear.

Suddenly, Tadao Matsui saw a village on the mountainside, which should be Huojiazhuang from the map.

"Go to a squad and burn that village down."

Tadao Matsui pointed to Huojiazhuang, and ordered to the adjutant riding on the horse behind the tank.

The little devil's three-light battle, even if the eight roads and ordinary people in the village run away, the village will be burned to the ground.

Following Matsui Tadao's order, dozens of devils in a team rushed towards Huojiazhuang halfway up the mountain with rifles in hand.

Ding Wei, who was at the command post on the top of the mountain, saw this scene and his chrysanthemum tightened. If the devils found the ambush position, it would be a big problem. Right now, there is only one regiment of devils entering the ambush circle.

Fortunately, the devils stopped when they climbed halfway up the mountain, sprinkled some gasoline and diesel on each house, and lit them with matches.

A few minutes later, the entire Huojiazhuang was on fire, and the roofs of each house were ignited, and black smoke rose into the sky.

"This group of dogs are crazy!"

Ding Wei saw this scene in the headquarters, and his tone was murderous: "If I don't kill you all today, my surname will not be Ding!"
