I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 337 The Tough Okazaki Brigade

"Damn it, these little devils are too good at defense!" In the early morning, Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the independent regiment to withdraw from the battle, with obvious unwillingness on his face.

Under the attack of various units of the Eighth Route Army.The three trenches that the Devil Okazaki Battalion saw on the top of Guanjianao were about to be taken down.However, due to the crazy resistance of the devil's Okazaki brigade, the various troops had not successfully captured the devil's trench, and it was dawn.Even if the troops seized the time to attack, they failed to capture the trench within half an hour.

There are Devil fighter planes approaching quickly in the air, and the roar of engines rang out over the battlefield. Seeing the Devil fighter planes approaching, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army units were no longer reconciled, and could only choose to give up and continue the attack on the Okazaki Brigade.This time, in order to help the Okazaki Battalion survive successfully, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, attached great importance to the Devils in the mountains, and directly dispatched ten Devils fighter planes to cover them.

At the same time, the relevant materials needed by the Okazaki Brigade were also continuously air-dropped by the aviation force.It's just that because the devil lost three fighter planes to the Eighth Route Army again, the devil's air force became afraid and dared not fly at the same low altitude as before.These devil pilots don't want to die in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. In their view, this is a shame.

Facing the fighter planes that came to support the devils, the troops of the Eighth Route Army that encircled and suppressed the Okazaki brigade quickly hid under the order of Boss Peng to avoid being discovered by the devil fighter planes and become the targets of the devil fighter planes.The battle will still continue, but it is necessary to launch an attack after the Devil fighter planes retreat. With the Devil fighter planes here to deter, it is impossible for the troops of the Eighth Route Army to launch an attack again.

The brigade commander put down the binoculars in his hand, and deep worry appeared on his face. The fighting power of these devils in the Okazaki brigade is not weak, and with the supplement of ammunition and supplies, he can imagine what it would be like to take down the little devils in the Okazaki brigade. of difficulty.In the battle last night, even with the help of the artillery soldiers, the casualties of the frontline soldiers were still more than two hundred. If the Okazaki Brigade wants to successfully defeat the devils, the number of casualties will inevitably increase again.

Guanjianao's terrain conditions are a bit too special. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it difficult for the troops of the Eighth Route Army to attack!Even if it was possible to attack and destroy the fortifications built by the devils, in order to be able to persist, the devils not only built many fortifications on the top of Guanjianao, but also dug three trenches for defense.In the case of the Okazaki Brigade, unless it is the Okazaki Brigade that can take down the Devils within two hours, all units of the Eighth Route Army will inevitably face crazy revenge from the Devils Air Force.

Considering the special terrain conditions of Guanjianao, the brigade commander asked Boss Peng if he could put down the devil Okazaki brigade on Guanjianao, wait until they no longer have such a terrain advantage, and then decisively launch a siege against the concubine, and then Get rid of the devil's Okazaki brigade.But Boss Peng did not agree, the reason is very simple, the devil troops who were raiding the base area around them kept coming, leaving not much time for the 129th Division.

Most importantly, no one can guarantee that the Devil Okazaki Brigade will take the initiative to leave Guanjianao. Without such a good geographical advantage as Guanjianao, it will undoubtedly be quite difficult for the Devil Okazaki Brigade to resist the attacks of the Eighth Route Army troops. .Being able to persist for a whole night under the attack of various units of the Eighth Route Army undoubtedly shows that the captain of the Okazaki Brigade Kencho Okazaki still has some ability, otherwise he would not be able to persist until now.

In order to capture Guanjianao and kill the Okazaki Brigade occupying Guanjianao, the Eighth Route Army troops tried many offensive methods last night. Some troops organized elite soldiers to climb the cliffs to the north of Guanjianao. To quietly touch the devil's rear, take the opportunity to kill the devil's Okazaki brigade.The Okazaki Brigade is worthy of being the elite of the Devils' troops. When defending the frontal attacks of the Eighth Route Army units, the Okazaki Brigade has not forgotten to defend in the rear.

Due to the special terrain conditions in the rear, the Okazaki Brigade did not need to use too many troops to successfully defend it. When the soldiers climbed the cliff, how could they attack the defending devils?This also makes the method of quietly touching the cliff directly in vain, and the devil will never give such a chance.

The brigade commander could understand Boss Peng's thoughts. He knew that Boss Peng wanted to kill the brigade of the devils so that the devils would not dare to easily offend the anti-Japanese base areas with the strength of the brigade in the future.Only when the Japanese Okazaki brigade is successfully killed, will the devils in the anti-Japanese base areas clearly understand the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and let them understand that the anti-Japanese base areas cannot be easily entered unless they want to lose their lives.

He just picked up the binoculars and looked at Guanjianao, which was occupied by the devils. The brigade commander had a headache. Now the fighter planes of the devils were constantly circling over Guanjianao, supporting the defending devils, and forming a certain deterrent to the troops of the Eighth Route Army.Looking at the flying altitude of the devil fighters, the brigade commander could see that these devils had become smarter and dared not fly at low altitudes easily, in order to prevent being hit by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

Last night, under the command of the brigade commander, the units of the 386th brigade used various methods to attack the devils on Guanjianao, but the effect was not good.It was also the help of soldiers from the artillery team in the various units of the 386 brigade that made the casualties of the 386 brigade not too large. The brigade commander who went to the front to command the battle in person could see that a large number of cat ear holes were dug out in the devil's position. These cat ear holes greatly increased the survival rate of devils.Even in the face of the mortars of the Eighth Route Army, as long as the devils can hide in the cat's ear holes in time, the casualties of the devils will be much less.

The brigade commander also knew that the cat's ear holes had a strong protective ability. In the past, when facing the attack of the devil army, he often ordered the soldiers to dig out the cat's ear holes for hiding!But now, seeing the devils dug out a large number of cat ear holes in the position to hide, the brigade commander feels an extra headache. Cat ear holes are a good thing. If he wants to deal with these fully prepared devils, he has nothing to do. Great idea.

"Report to the brigade commander! Li Yunlong, the head of the independent regiment, came to report!" Li Yunlong's voice sounded outside the headquarters.

Thinking about how to deal with the brigade commander of the Okazaki brigade, his eyes lit up slightly. After Li Yunlong came to the Guanjianao area, he directly entered the battle under his order. Now that Li Yunlong is here, I don’t know if he can be What the hell idea!

"Come in!"

Li Yunlong strode into the command post, saw the brigade commander with an obviously unsightly face, but he smiled and approached the brigade commander, "Brigade commander, are you worried about how to kill the devil's Okazaki brigade?"

"You kid, just say what you want to say! Damn it! I still don't know about you kid! You're full of ghost ideas!" The brigade commander glanced at Li Yunlong a little angrily, and when he saw the smile on Li Yunlong's face, he said Knowing that this kid Li Yunlong must have thought of some kind of ghost idea, realizing this, he relaxed a lot.
