I am helping

In the past, Li Yunlong always said that with the reputation of brigade commander, there are not many cavalry divisions, artillery divisions, and machine artillery divisions.

As for the artillery division, it was Ding Wei's new second regiment, Kong Jie's independent regiment.

The guns with a caliber of more than 75mm combined by these two regiments are equivalent to four artillery regiments, which is already the size of an artillery division.

In addition, the three artillery regiments directly under the brigade headquarters, and the artillery of the Japanese 3th Division's Mountain Artillery Wing were captured this time.

It's almost an artillery division. If two artillery divisions are combined, isn't it an artillery army?

This does not include 60mm mortars, 70mm infantry guns and 82mm mortars.

There is plenty of ammunition.

Brigadier Chen was full of smiles and high-spirited: "Haha, now our old Chen is a real local rich man, a rich man."

Seeing Brigadier Chen was very excited, and Li Yunlong was also sincerely happy for the Brigadier.

Now the brigade commander's artillery division goal has been achieved, or even far exceeded, leaving the cavalry division and machine artillery division.

Maybe in the future the brigade commander can be matched with a cavalry army and machine artillery army.

After a pause, Brigadier Chen said again: "However, I appreciate your kindness. The 75mm mountain gun is fine. Our brigade has no shortage of 75mm mountain guns. If you have a conscience, the 150mm howitzer and 203mm cannon will be used in the future." If there are too many heavy howitzers to use up, you can give me dozens of them. I know that your new regiment is short of recruits, and we have more militias in the Taiyue Military Region."

Today, the 386 brigade is equipped with nearly 75 200mm mountain guns and dozens of 105mm howitzers.

But there are only two 150mm howitzers, and they were given to the brigade commander by Li Yunlong himself.

There is not even a 203mm heavy howitzer.

The brigade commander knew that he was rich, but compared with Li Yunlong in front of him, he was almost like a beggar.

Li Yunlong in front of him is the real rich man.

However, today's Xinyi Regiment no longer belongs to the battle order of the 386th Brigade, and the brigade commander has no reason to beat Li Yunlong's autumn wind.

Otherwise, the current 386 Brigade would be at least two levels richer!
There is no free lunch in the world, not to mention the heavy artillery that even Lao Jiang is jealous of. If he wants to take advantage of Li Yunlong, the brigade commander will naturally have to pay some price.

"Haha, no problem."

Li Yunlong fully agreed:
"Not to mention 150mm howitzers and 203mm heavy howitzers, even tanks and planes, as long as you ask the brigade commander, I will get them for you."

The brigade commander nodded with an extremely satisfied expression.

In the past, Li Yunlong made several mistakes, such as the shooting of five Japanese prisoners by Li Yunlong during the Battle of Xinkou. If it weren't for the brigade commander's help, Li Yunlong would not have been dismissed as easily.

Next, with the assistance of the brigade commander, Li Yunlong took control of the overall situation in Shinao Mountain.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, all the siege troops had entered the attack position, all of which were fortification positions originally built by the Japanese army outside the city.

Although the devils of the 37th Division gave up the offensive outside the city, they did not give up the fortification of the city wall.

Instead, relying on the fortifications of the city wall, they are preparing to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

To the west of the city, the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army synthesized the Second Battalion and the Sixth Battalion's main attack position, taking advantage of the fact that the artillerymen in the rear were setting up artillery.

Soldiers held steel guns and carried ladders into the trenches one after another, and the infantry could attack only after the artillery blasted the city wall out of the gap.

A metal horn with a structure of about 120 degrees quietly protruded out of the trench, shouting loudly:

"Little Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall, listen, you are already surrounded by the main force of our Eighth Route Army. Our strength is 20, and your strength is only 6000. The strength is 34 to 1. Our 3000 cannons are ready to fire at any time. , please put down your weapons and surrender immediately, don't engage in unnecessary resistance, the Eighth Route Army implements the Geneva Convention, treats prisoners preferentially, surrender your guns and don't kill them!"

"If you resist to the end, the Eighth Route Army will wipe out all of you, leaving no one behind!"

Those who shouted were soldiers from the new regiment of the enemy's Ministry of Industry, who persuaded the devils and puppet troops to surrender before the war.

After the soldiers of the enemy's Ministry of Industry yelled in Chinese, they yelled again in Japanese.

After the puppet troops on the city wall heard the Eighth Route Army's call, many puppet troops were ready to move.

The puppet army has never wanted to surrender to the Eighth Route Army more than at this time.

Most of the puppet soldiers did not sincerely want to serve the Japanese army, but to make a living, and to support their families with their salaries.

In this raging world, if you want to survive, you have to pay a price. Being a soldier is a dangerous job. Bullets don't have eyes, and they might be gone one day.

And if you don't serve as a soldier, it's hard to survive.

But then again, these young men who became the puppet army, after becoming the puppet army, helped the Japanese army bully their compatriots for their own survival, sometimes even more ruthless than devils.

A ghost squadron leader on the city wall didn't understand what the Eighth Route Army was shouting at first because the Eighth Route Army shouted in Chinese.

It wasn't until the Eighth Route Army shouted it in Japanese that they understood the meaning of the words.

Even some Japanese soldiers' eyes were rolling around there, looking like they were not determined to fight.

Not to mention the puppet army, they can't wait to run down and surrender to the Eighth Route Army immediately.

"idiot!"

"shooting!"

The leader of the Devil Squadron drew out his command saber with a swipe, and pointed at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army's enemy industry department under the city wall.

Da da da…

Tom tom tom...

On the city gate and tower, the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns and grenades fired together, and a dense rain of bullets, mortar shells, and grenades hit the horn.

A dozen fighters from the Xinyi Regiment were flying with flesh and blood amidst the sound of the explosion.

But the soldiers of the enemy Ministry of Industry were not bombed. After the devils finished firing, the soldiers of the enemy Ministry of Industry changed positions and continued to shout to the devils and puppet soldiers on the city wall to persuade them to surrender.

With experience, the infantry were far away from the soldiers of the enemy's Ministry of Industry.

In addition to the west city wall, outside the east, south and north city walls, there were soldiers from the enemy industry department of the Eighth Route Army shouting to the devils and puppet troops to persuade them to surrender.

The total strength of the Eighth Route Army outside Yangquan City is 6 main elites, while the 37th Division, including the heavy soldiers and engineering troops, has no more than 6 people.

Regardless of artillery firepower or military strength, the military strength is 10 to 1.

Li Yunlong adopted his classic tactics again: no assists, all four walls are the main attack.

The soldiers of the enemy's Ministry of Industry shouted to the Japanese army that if the devils and the puppet army surrender wisely, everyone will be happy.

If the devils and puppet soldiers don't surrender, it's not a big problem, just wipe them all out.

Shouting to surrender and exaggerating the strength and firepower of one's own side is also a kind of spiritual attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.

In the headquarters.

Zhao Gang stepped on the ladder, put down the binoculars in his hand, and smiled slightly: "Lao Li, you can always come up with new tricks!"

It was Li Yunlong who personally arranged for the enemy's Ministry of Industry to speak to the devils and puppet soldiers in the devil's gate and building.

Li Yunlong's eyes were calm: "This is all a trick, and the good show has just begun."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang also put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued to observe the enemy's movements with a serious face.

The devils above the city gate fired several waves of fire angrily, but it didn't have any effect.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the East Pao Group has been deployed..."

"The Western Artillery Group has been deployed..."

Soon, reports of the deployment of the four artillery positions in the east, west, north, and south came one after another.

"Chief of Staff, have the infantry entered the attack position?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Report to the commander-in-chief." Wang Dehou reported, "All the attacking troops have entered the position!"

Li Yunlong's tone was harsh: "Very well, pass on my order. The four artillery groups in the east, west, north, and south will immediately fire at the city wall. The shelling time will be half an hour, and I will blow the city wall apart."

"Yes!"

Wang Dehou turned around, grabbed the high-power walkie-talkie, and ordered: "All artillery groups, fire at the city wall immediately, and the shelling time is half an hour!"

Not long after the words fell, the 75mm mountain guns and 105mm howitzers in the four directions of east, west, north and south began to test fire at the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, after the test firing was completed, all the artillery fired in unison and smashed towards the city wall of Yangquan.

Flocks of shells fell from the sky like crows and landed on the city wall of Yangquan. Accompanied by deafening explosions, the entire city wall of Yangquan was sparkling with flames and filled with gunpowder smoke.

The devils and the puppet army suddenly flew into blood and blood.

……

at the same time.

Taigu line of defense.

The commander of the 129th Division is leading the main force of the 6th Route Army to confront the 18th and 14th Brigades of the Japanese Army.

In the shelling last night, the two brigades of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy casualties.

But after the Eighth Route Army stopped shelling, the Japanese army began to rush to repair the fortifications, posing a posture of living and dying with the position.

The devils also knew that the Eighth Route Army's shells had bottomed out.

In the headquarters, the division commander stepped on the ladder and looked at the Japanese positions through the vision of the artillery mirror.

I saw bomb craters everywhere on the Japanese army's position, as well as flesh and blood and broken arms.

Many Japanese soldiers are rushing to repair the fortifications.

The division commander knew very well that ordering the troops to rush up at this time would definitely defeat the Japanese 14th and 18th Brigades, and even have a chance to wipe them out.

But the troops under his command will definitely suffer heavy casualties. After all, the Japanese army is on the defensive side, and the 14th and 18th brigades are elite.

Order the troops to rush up now, and guarantee that thousands of soldiers will be sacrificed.

But when the airdrop supplies arrive, the situation will be different.

Li Yunlong sent information that the siege of the 33rd and 37th Divisions of the Japanese Army had been completed.

Now, the teacher can finally let go of his hands and feet and do a big job.

No matter what kind of battle is fought here in Taiyuan, it will not have any impact on the two battlefields of Yangquan and Shouyang.

The teacher looked up at the sky, and then at the watch in his hand, with a puzzled tone: "It's already 10:[-] in the morning, why haven't the empty supplies on the battlefield arrived yet?"

After the division commander sent a telegram to Li Yunlong to apply for airdrop supplies, Li Yunlong sent a telegram back to the division commander last night.

According to the content of the telegram, the division commander applied for an airdrop supply of 10 rounds of shells, and asked the division commander to tell Li Yunlong when it was not enough.

arrogant.

The Chief of Staff's tone was uncertain: "Teacher, it may be that Boss Chen needs some time to prepare? After all, we applied to Li Yunlong for the supply of air conditioners on the battlefield in the middle of the night last night. From the preparation of the shells to the installation of the aircraft, the transport plane flew here from the airport. It will take a lot of time."

The teacher nodded: "That's true." (End of this chapter)
