Chapter 627 The Regretful Brigadier!
Boom boom boom...

The artillery shells of the independent regiment accumulated and exploded on the city wall at a rate of nearly 200 rounds per minute.

The devils and puppet soldiers defending on the city wall were immediately bombarded to the point of crying.

A round of shells rolled over and down, and a series of dense flames and gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from the walls of the county town.

The towers on the city wall collapsed after being hit by two shells, with broken tiles, sawdust and shrapnel sweeping across.

Not long after, under the intensive shell damage, the city wall of the South City was blasted with three U-shaped gaps by the artillery group of the Independent Regiment.

The artillery group of the independent regiment also determined the shooting elements according to the observation method, so they fired very accurately, and most of the shells fell on the city wall.

Only a small number of shells flew into and outside the city.

However, most of the people in the county were mobilized and moved away, followed by northern Shaanxi and then returned to northwest Shanxi, so there were not many ordinary people in the city.

under cover of shelling.

Guan Dashan led the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment into the attacking position.

Under this kind of artillery fire-saturation attack, Kong Jie didn't have the heart to play a tentative attack with the devils, so he sent the strongest battalion of the independent regiment to launch a fierce attack, preparing to enter the city with a wave of attack.

In the rear of the first battalion, the mortar positions are ready, and a mortar group composed of more than 40 60mm mortars and 82mm mortars is ready to provide artillery support for the first battalion.

Guan Dashan put a steel helmet on his head, and fastened it to his chin with a belt.

"Give me the gun!"

Guan Dashan took the M3 submachine gun from the guard, pulled the bolt suddenly, held the M3 submachine gun with one hand, and lay down in the attack position to wait for the shelling to end.

Beside or behind him, the soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns, and there was a clattering sound.

The soldiers stared at the city wall, and the mad killing intent in their eyes could be felt from far away.

Behind the commandos, a platoon of fighters is flanked by long ladders.

Although the artillery firepower can blow down the city wall, the wall after the collapse is often in the shape of a gap, and in many cases only half of it collapses.

If you want to blow up the second half, you must either call the artillery to shoot accurately, or pull the cannon closer to aim for direct fire.

Long ladders are required to climb over the city wall and over the house to fight the enemy street.

In order to earn 150mm howitzers and 37mm anti-aircraft guns, the independent regiment was well prepared.

In the field of view of the artillery mirror, Kong Jie saw that the city wall of Zuo County had been blown to pieces, and two more gaps had been blown open.

Kong Jie smiled with satisfaction.

Immediately, Kong Jie shouted loudly: "Give me an order, the artillery battalion will stop shelling immediately, and the first battalion will rush into the city for me, and I will kill all the little devils!"

The regimental correspondent immediately issued instructions using the walkie-talkie.

Following Kong Jie's order, the artillery battalion gradually stopped firing, and the sound of the artillery gradually became sporadic until it disappeared completely.

Guan Dashan immediately jumped up from the position and shouted: "Comrades, follow me!"

A battalion of commandos armed with submachine guns screamed and followed behind Guan Dashan, holding submachine guns while shooting at the city wall, while running towards the city wall.

Behind, the soldiers carrying the ladder followed closely.

After that came the main force of the first battalion, that is to say, Guan Dashan personally led the commando to charge.

"Da da da……"

On the city wall after being bombarded by shells, the devil's Type [-] heavy machine gun and Taisho Type [-] light machine gun screamed wildly.

Long tongues of fire spewed out from the six firepower points, and the rain of bullets poured down the city wall.

Although the city wall of the county seat was not designed with anti-gun holes, the shelling of the independent regiment killed some devils and puppet troops, but the devils have reinforcements under the inner city wall at any time.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the Devil's machine gunner lifted the Type [-] heavy machine gun and the Taisho Type [-] light machine gun to the city wall and fired at the Eighth Route Army below the city.

In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers from the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment fell in a pool of blood.

"hidden!"

Following Guan Dashan's order, the soldiers crawled to hide, avoiding the condescending rain of bullets from the devil's light and heavy machine guns on the city wall.

"Mortar, you need mortar fire reinforcements, what are you waiting for?"

He took the walkie-talkie from the guard and immediately called the mortar position.

"almost there!"

An unhurried voice came from the walkie-talkie.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sharp whistling sound above the heads of Guan Dashan and the soldiers of the first battalion.

The whistling sound came from far to near, over the head of a battalion of attacking troops, and fell on the city wall.

Boom boom boom...

Immediately there was a series of intense and violent explosions on the city wall, and fireballs and gunpowder smoke suddenly rose.

Although the mortar is not as powerful as the mountain cannon and howitzer, the artillery support of the mortar can not only shoot and kill the devils on the city wall, but also reduce the chance of friendly soldiers being accidentally injured.

After three rounds of mortar shelling, all the Devil's machine guns on the city wall misfired.

Even the firing of devils and puppet army rifles became extremely sporadic.

Seeing this scene, Guan Dashan and the soldiers of the first battalion were all excited.

It is still the most comfortable to fight with artillery support.

Since the Independence Regiment became rich, the soldiers of the Independence Regiment no longer faced the devil's artillery fire and machine gun bullets.

Once the attack does not go well, use the walkie-talkie to call for artillery support.

And it's artillery coverage, not precision bombardment.

The firepower of the devil's machine gun on the city wall can be killed by an excellent mortarman with three shots, and a sharpshooter can kill it with two shots at most.

However, the Eighth Route Army did not play precision shelling with the devils, but was covered by artillery fire as soon as it came up.

Don't play fake.

The effect of artillery coverage is naturally much better than that of precision bombardment.

After five rounds of shelling, not only all the devils' machine gunners and machine gun fire points were killed, but also most of the devils and puppet riflemen on the city wall.

"Kill kill kill!"

"Come on!"

"Fuck you little devil!"

Taking advantage of the devil's firepower becoming sparse and sporadic, Guan Dashan jumped up, and the submachine gun in his hand opened fire towards the crenelation of the city wall.

The firepower of the devils and the few remaining riflemen of the puppet army was suppressed.

The devils and puppet troops guarding the gap were also defeated.

The soldiers of the second echelon quickly set up the ladder, and the soldiers of the commando rushed up the ladder.

In a blink of an eye, the soldiers of the commando either rushed up the city wall of the county town, or rushed into the city along the gap.

First attack the first battalion in the city, instead of rushing to attack in depth of the county seat, but to infiltrate along the city wall in a roundabout way, kill the ghosts and puppet soldiers on the city wall, open the city gate, and then attack in depth from four directions, Compress the enemy in the center and finish off at the end.

For the general Eighth Route Army troops, the city wall is a tough nut to crack.

If the troops of the Eighth Route Army, lacking offensive firepower, attacked the heavily defended county towns of the Japanese army, they would suffer huge casualties just by taking down the city walls.

Therefore, the general Eighth Route Army troops are unwilling to attack the county town, but ambushes in the wild.

But for the Independence Regiment, the city walls of the county town are useless, and if ten rounds of shells can't collapse, then twenty or thirty rounds will be bombarded.

As the large forces of the Independent Regiment entered the county seat.

The battle was completely over in less than four hours.

The puppet soldiers only fired a few symbolic shots before choosing to surrender. A small number of devils also chose to surrender when they saw that they could not be defeated.

Originally there were only two devil squadrons in the city, and one squadron was arranged on the city wall, and one squadron for street fighting was not enough for an independent group to kill.

is servitude.

The independent regiment wiped out two squadrons of the Japanese army and one battalion of the puppet army.

Immediately afterwards, Kong Jie led the independent regiment to regain the other two counties in the defense zone in one go, and wiped out the devils and puppet troops.

When Kong Jie took action against the devils and puppet soldiers.

Ding Wei was not idle either, and took five days to capture three counties in the defense zone.

Both Kong Jie and Ding Wei have tasted the sweetness, looking forward to the next time the devils and puppet troops will continue to occupy the counties in their defense zone.

……

Southeast Shanxi.

Taiyue Military Region.

386 Brigade Department.

"I heard that the head of the headquarters allocated four 4mm howitzers to the division commander."

Deputy Brigadier Han took a sip of water from the porcelain cup and said.

The deputy brigade commander had just returned from a small meeting at the headquarters, so he was very aware of this matter.

"Four more 4mm howitzers have been dialed?"

The brigade commander hurriedly raised his head when he heard the words, with envy in his eyes and expression:

"The head of the headquarters allocated a tank company to the division commander last time. It's only been a few days..."

Although the 386th brigade also had a tank company, they were all Douding tanks seized from the Japanese army. Compared with the tanks that Li Yunlong handed over to the headquarters, they were very hip.

The tank at the division headquarters is more than the 10 tank companies at the brigade headquarters.

"Li Yunlong handed it in?" Chief of Staff Zhou on the side opened his eyes wide.

But after asking, Chief of Staff Zhou felt that his words were a bit redundant.

Besides Li Yunlong, who else in the Eighth Route Army can get the 150mm howitzer and hand it in?
The brigade commander is also a bit regretful. This Li Yunlong was originally his confidant and favorite general. If he knew that this kid could make such a fortune, he would have negotiated more terms with the headquarters.

For example, some of the heavy weapons handed in by Li Yunlong were allocated to the 386th Brigade, instead of using an artillery regiment and letting the new regiment be directly under the headquarters.

Long-term business is much more cost-effective than a one-time deal.

Unfortunately, it is too late to regret now.

Deputy Brigadier Han continued: "This time, Li Yunlong not only handed in 5000 tons of combat supplies, but also handed in four 4mm heavy howitzers."

After listening to the brigade commander, his mentality became more and more distraught, and his voice suddenly raised: "5000 tons of combat supplies, 4 203mm heavy howitzers?"

Chief of Staff Zhou also suddenly couldn't help but gasped: "Li Yunlong is so rich?"

不久前，新一团才上交总部1000吨武器弹药和4门203毫米重型榴弹炮，以及500多门20毫米机关炮。

How long has it been?

Another 5000 tons of combat supplies and four 4mm heavy howitzers came.

The brigade commander regretted it even more: "If we knew this, we shouldn't have easily agreed to the headquarters to let the new regiment be directly under the headquarters."

Now Li Yunlong has handed over weapons and ammunition, combat materials, 150mm howitzers, 203mm heavy howitzers and tanks to the headquarters, all of which are not for the 386 brigade.
