Chapter 200 Zhao Gang shows off his leg (please subscribe)
The reconnaissance platoon easily captured Dongzhaizi Mountain. Li Yunlong's eyes were opened to whether its sophisticated weapons and equipment, as well as its powerful individual combat capabilities, can be seen.
After learning more about the reconnaissance platoon's attack tactics, Li Yunlong immediately changed the previously planned combat plan.
He was prepared to give full play to the powerful combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance platoon, so as to deal with the Japs troops in highlands such as Pingdingshan and Jiangjunshan with minimal casualties.
Zhang Dabiao's first battalion was activated again and directly assigned to conduct reconnaissance and detachment to attack Pingdingshan.
The third battalion was able to contain Jiangjun Mountain, and the second battalion was assigned an artillery company to station in Zhaizi Mountain to assist the artillery in effectively attacking Pingding Mountain and Jiangjun Mountain.
At a little after one o'clock, the ministries completed their deployment, and the new regiment leader Li Yunlong and the chief officer Zhao Gang came to the vicinity of Jiangjun Mountain to direct the operation in person.
The eastern troops of the reconnaissance platoon took the lead in advancing. They stationed in different areas and immediately prepared for shooting cover.
The first battalion troops began to attack, and the little Japanese in Pingdingshan launched fire interception.
But as their firepower points were exposed, the assault legs, sniper legs, machine gun fire legs, and mortar artillerymen of the reconnaissance platoon continued to fire.
Bullets and grenades seem to have eyes and hit their targets accurately.
The Yuejun, who controlled the light and heavy machine gun fire, shot in the leg. He was attacked one after another and fell directly into a pool of blood.
Li Yunlong raised the telescope to observe, his eyes widened like copper bells.
Then if he saw the reconnaissance platoon in action with his own eyes, would he be stunned by the combat prowess displayed by Monk Wei and others?
Speaking of which, the new group also has sharp-shooting legs, and there are only a few of them. They are all like baby bumps.
The Eighth Route Army is good at shooting at close range, and then directly launches a red-blade battle.
Anyone who can accurately hit the target at two to three hundred meters is definitely a veteran of many battles.
After all, the Eighth Route Army troops lacked ammunition, otherwise they would not have the title of Three Guns and Eight Routes.
Even though the new regiment has good weapons and equipment, it has plenty of ammunition.
Could it be that Li Yunlong didn't have the courage to let the soldiers use live ammunition for training? Even if he had that courage, I'm afraid he would be criticized.
Therefore, they had very few sharpshooting legs and were unable to effectively suppress the Moon Army's light and heavy machine gun firepower.
Of course, the new regiment is very tenacious in fighting, and when shooting at close range, most of the soldiers can hit the target.
Now the recon platoon's sniper legs can easily kill the Moon Army's sniper legs through the shooting holes hundreds of meters away.
An assault leg at a distance of three to four hundred meters can effectively use Czech semi-automatic rifles to suppress the rifle legs of the Lunar Army.
As for the light machine gun shooting in the leg, it is not accurate, and the bullets fired can bite the flesh.
Li Yunlong almost drooled when he saw it. He even planned to force the reconnaissance platoon to stay in his new regiment.
Of course, he also knew that if you think about it, he would not be able to retain the Jin-Sui army.
What's more, if the reconnaissance platoon is affiliated with Chen Ziyun's 11th Reserve Regiment, he cannot stay here.
"Captain, look, the official is passing by with a rifle."
At that time, the guard Huzi beside Li Yunlong shouted loudly.
Li Yunlong looked through the binoculars and saw Zhao Gang holding a rifle and stopping behind a bunker.
Through the telescope, Lao Li could clearly see that Zhao Gang had erected the sharp frame sight of the Type 38 rifle and was moving the buoy.
"Hehehe, I didn't notice that Zhao Zhengwei is not good at using a gun."
"If he moves the buoy, then he can hit a long-distance target."
"Good guy, Zhao Zhengwei has a lot of appetite. The distance is at least about 500 meters."
"Oh, Lao Zhao is really not that easy. From a distance of 500 meters, it is very possible to hit the target!"
Li Yunlong saw Zhao Gang accurately hitting the target through the telescope and exclaimed on the spot.
Zhao Gangfu showed off his leg and killed a kid with a light machine gun shot from a distance of 500 meters.
Of course, it was not because of Zhao Gang's shooting ability that he instantly made Lao Li mistakenly change his title.
The reconnaissance platoon continued to launch fire suppression, and the first battalion quickly advanced. Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao personally led the charge.
The artillery battery in Zhaizishan also began to launch artillery bombardment east of Wang Chengzhu's command.
Not long after, Li Yunlong could no longer stand. He took out the shell gun from his waist and rushed over with guard Hu Zi.
The battle in the Pingdingshan area changed with the arrival of the reconnaissance platoon.
The little devils there have been completely wiped out, so there are almost no major problems.
A young Japanese major in charge saw that Zhaizi Mountain had been lost and Pingding Mountain was about to be destroyed. He hurriedly went to generate electricity to ask for help.
At this time, the troops of Bu Nao's 120th Division made a comeback, and they once again launched attacks in Yuanpingcheng and other areas.
The third brigade was formed independently, and the Eighth Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army was restrained. They had no extra troops to mobilize.
Even if they have troops that can be mobilized, they still have a cavalry company and a machine gun company commanded by Zhang Wu on the periphery to block the attack.
The battle there has almost achieved a negative outcome.
"Old Zhao, do we, Old Li, really underestimate me?"
"I am like a Confucius with a sword on his waist. I can be both civil and military."
"Hey, hey, I've made mistakes in the past, so I don't want to take it to heart."
"After the battle is over, I will treat you to a drink!"
Li Yunlong came to the front line, he looked at Zhao Gang with a smile and said.
"Captain, if I have anything to do, please tell me directly."
Whether Zhao Gang is smart or not, he can see that Li Yunlong completely agrees with him.
But based on that time together, Zhao Gang would not behave like this because he felt that Li Yunlong recognized him.
But there was one reason why Li Yunlong said those words, and that was because Li Yunlong was asking for help.
"Hehehe, please don't call me, Old Zhao, smart. After the battle is over, I will personally select and form a new regiment similar to theirs."
"Gather capable people together and train them carefully. When we fight tough battles in the future, can those troops be used as commandos?"
"The number of people in the new group is limited, we can go to the new group and the independent group to find them later!"
"How about Bulong? We all want to form a commando team that is not weaker than them!"
Li Yunlong looked towards Monk Wei's reconnaissance platoon, which was still fighting, and said firmly.
Zhao Gang thought about it and felt that Li Yunlong's proposal was very reasonable, so he readily agreed to Donglai.
The battle in the Pingdingshan area is continuing, and at this time it is in the area to the west of the hills, at Qicun Town.
The little Japanese bombers carried out bombings unscrupulously, and they did not leave the battlefield until two o'clock.
Harada Kenzo contacted the First Army Headquarters, and Shinozuka Yoshio personally made the deployment.
Six bombers came to Qicun Town to carry out bombing, but they still used high-altitude bombing.
Previously, Chen Ziyun once commanded the Liao-made 77MM field gun to use its shooting angle to shoot in the wrong direction and shoot down a bomber that lowered its altitude.
Since then, the Little Japanese Air Force has been deeply impressed, and they no longer dare to fly at low altitudes.
Even the previous arrogant and strafing behavior after the bombing ended was completely over.
After all, the little devils have limited resources and losing an aircraft means that the aircraft is very important to them.
Therefore, in order to avoid further losses, the Little Devil Air Force did not dare to conduct operations at low altitudes.
The First Army hated the 48th Independent Brigade so much that they wanted to cut it into pieces.
If there is cocoa, Yoshio Shinozuka is willing to dispatch dozens of bombers to carry out carpet bombing and completely eliminate the 48th Independent Brigade.
However, what is wrong with the current First Army is that they want to do that, but conditions do not allow it!
The entire dispatched force of the little Japanese outside the pass is just a flying group in the east of the port.
But that flying group has already received transfer orders, and they want to be directly transferred to the southern military establishment that is being secretly prepared.
Therefore, the current number of aviation units that the North China Front can command is not very large.
So when the Japs launched the Zhongtiao Mountain Operation in 1942, they had to second the Kwantung Army's aviation force to support the operation.
Is it precisely because of this that when the Japs fight in North China, they rarely send out large-scale aviation forces to participate in the battle.
The only exception was the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in 1942. The Eastern Air Force of the North China Front Army and the aviation force seconded from the Kwantung Army assembled a large number of aircraft to participate in the battle!
This shows how much Wei Junru's troops in the east frightened the little devils in North China!
In Qicun Town, the acrid gun smoke filled the air.
Most of the positions of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment were completely destroyed, and hundreds of officers and soldiers did not fully react to the bombing.
At this time, in the hilly area east of Qicun Town, the artillery unit affiliated with the independent mixed fourth brigade launched a covering artillery bombardment.
Four Liao-made 77MM field guns with a range of 10,000 meters, and four Liao-made 100MM howitzers with a range of more than 7,000 meters.
Eight Type 38 75MM field guns and three Type 94 75MM mountain guns.
A total of nineteen artillery pieces were firing wildly, and grenades were fired towards Qicun Town one after another.
The sound of artillery rumbled, and with the explosion of artillery shells, the ground seemed to tremble.
Dust was flying all over the sky, and countless shrapnel quickly spread in all directions.
The scorching air waves raise the temperature, and the shock wave ruthlessly destroys everything.
The Seventh Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, the First and Second Guards of the Puppet Mongolian Army, with more than 3,000 infantry and cavalry, quickly made a detour from the east side of Qicun Town.
Are they prepared to circle back to the south of Qicun Town and completely cut off the communication between Qicun Town and the rear troops?
At the same time, more than 2,000 troops of the 1st and 2nd Independent Infantry Brigade of the Little Japanese Infantry and the 3rd Field Infantry Brigade moved southeast quickly to attack Qicun Town from the front!
Did the puppet army have a complete combat plan? They implemented it quickly. The 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment stationed in Qicun Town was almost completely fooled.
Acting commander Qian Bojun was currently commanding operations south of Qicun Town. Seeing the posture of the Yue puppet troops, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
The little Japanese first dispatched six bombers to carry out carpet bombing, and then nineteen artillery pieces carried out covering bombardment.
At the same time as the shelling, more than 2,000 Yue troops attacked from the front, and more than 3,000 puppet Mongolian troops took a circuitous route to the east.
Such a violent attack left Qian Bojun with almost no legs to blame.
"Let's see if it will anger the little devil's Dongchang!"
"Isn't he Chen Ziyun awesome? Why don't he continue to shoot down the Japs' planes!"
"You are confused, sir? Commander Yan is trying to protect himself wisely. He is not asking for a fight with the Moon Army."
"With that small amount of troops, let alone defending all villages and towns, it would be difficult to safely evacuate the battlefield."
"I really want to test the spirit of the Yue puppet army in Qicun Town. He saw that the army was definitely determined to lose the battle."
Qian Bojun couldn't help but complain, facing such an offensive, he had no way to respond.
After complaining, Qian Bojun immediately arranged for the signal corps to contact the brigade headquarters.
Before the signal soldier had time to pick up the phone, the phone started ringing.
"Regiment leader, this is a call from Commander Chen Ziyun." The signal soldier picked up the phone and answered it, then immediately said to Qian Bojun.
Qian Bojun frowned and came to the phone with an unhappy expression.
"Commander Chen, the Yue puppet army's offensive is fierce, and the pinzi formation defense has no effect at all."
"More than three thousand puppet Mongolian troops are rapidly advancing in depth, and the three battalions deployed on the east side may not be able to stop them."
"That puppet Mongolian army not only has infantry but also cavalry. If they attack, they will definitely suffer heavy losses."
After taking the phone, Qian Bojun said calmly.
Now he wants to develop in a low-key manner, so even if there is anger inside, he will not vent it.
"Captain Qian, the Second Battalion, the Third Battalion, the Second Mountain Artillery Company, and the Artillery Company deployed on the east and west sides south of Qicun Town are fighting together."
"To defend with all our strength the advance of the Puppet Mongolian Army, I quickly ordered the two artillery batteries to concentrate their artillery fire!"
"Instead of waiting for the puppet Mongolian army to launch an attack and deploy for artillery bombardment, let's block them and bombard them now."
"When necessary, the troops of the second battalion can quickly advance eastward to assist the third battalion in defensive operations."
Chen Ziyun spoke calmly and directly gave the battle order to Qian Bojundong.
"Commander Chen, those troops went all out to defeat the puppet Mongolian army. Did the Qicun Town First Battalion give up completely?" Qian Bojun immediately retorted.
"Captain Qian, I just need to execute the combat orders. Don't worry about other things. He has his own arrangements." Chen Ziyun said firmly.
Qian Bojun agreed to Donglai with a face full of displeasure. After hanging up the phone, he began to contact the troops for combat.
At this time, Chen Ziyun was in the highland area west of Qicun Town.
He paid close attention to the combat situation in all villages and towns through binoculars, and he contacted various ministries from time to time to issue relevant combat orders.
He was not worried at all about Qian Bojun. As Chen Ziyun said, Qian Bojun's role at this time was nothing more than a messenger.
Qian Bojun can choose not to pass on the relevant orders, but the consequences will not be borne by Qian Bojun.
So what he could do at this time was to convey Chen Ziyun's orders obediently.
As the 358th Regiment headquarters conveyed the order, two artillery companies were the first to respond.
Zhu Mingxuan Artillery Battery's six Shanxi orogenic guns immediately carried out shelling based on the data provided by the artillery observers.
The grenades were fired directly at the puppet Mongolian army.
If there is a detailed firing parameter table for the six Jin orogenic cannons, they asked for relevant data.
They can find the relevant paper cards, quickly adjust the artillery, and launch precise bombardment.
Of course, the six Shanxi orogenic cannons had bore wear due to previous long-term shelling operations.
Therefore, even if the bombardment is carried out according to the detailed shooting parameter table, the impact point of the bullet will be deviated at this time.
As long as those deviations are not too serious, the damage radius of the shell after explosion will not be able to cause damage to the target.
