Chapter 118 Devil's stronghold
"Captain, when I came, I passed the Baijin Railway of the Japanese, and the Japanese defended very strongly."
"The Japanese built solid strongholds near towns, stations and tunnels along the railway, and each stronghold has more than a dozen people defended by Japanese soldiers. At the same time, there are armored trains patrolling the railway. There are outer strongholds in important geographical locations 10 to 15 kilometers on both sides of the railway."
"It can be said that the Japanese have achieved the ultimate protection of the railway. Unless we can solve these defensive Japanese in a short time, relying on the defense of the stronghold, a large number of Japanese will soon come and launch a fierce counterattack against us!" Zhao Gang said the information he learned, with a very solemn expression.
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang in surprise. He didn't expect that the information Zhao Gang would be so comprehensive, and some of the information he didn't notice. Li Yunlong knew that the Japanese had strict defense of the railway, but he didn't expect that it would be so strict.
When Li Yunlong thought of the Independent Regiment facing such strict defense of the Japanese, he felt a little troubled. Such a Japanese were quite difficult to deal with. What made Li Yunlong the most headache was that he didn't know whether the Type 92 infantry cannon in his hand could break the Japanese stronghold. I think that when defending in such an important place, the Japanese would definitely choose to use cement bricks to build strongholds. If you want to break such a stronghold, it would not be strong enough firepower, but it would be difficult to do it.
"Genzi, do you think the Type 92 infantry cannon of our regiment can be useful to the Japanese stronghold?" Looking at Liu Gen, Li Yunlong couldn't help asking.
Liu Gen frowned. If the stronghold built by the Japanese was too strong, then the Type 92 infantry cannon might not have much effect on the Japanese stronghold. After thinking for a while, Liu Gen thought of a solution. With his artillery technology, it might not be impossible to threaten the Japanese stronghold.
"You can push the Type 92 infantry cannon closer. As long as you can reach a range of 500 meters from the Japanese stronghold, I will be sure to send the high-explosive bombs of the Type 92 infantry cannon into the Japanese stronghold! One may not be able to solve the Japanese, but two high-explosive bombs exploded inside the Japanese stronghold, which can remove most of the Japanese in the stronghold." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
This is the only way that Liu Gen thought of. The strongholds built by the Japanese would inevitably be much stronger than those established by the puppet army. In detail, Liu Gen still needs to wait until the independent regiment arrives at the designated location before he can observe clearly.
"Five hundred meters? Simple! I thought it was so difficult! Dabiao, how about it? Is it difficult?" Li Yunlong laughed. The distance of five hundred meters was very easy.
Without a powerful artillery like Liu Gen, the Independent Regiment needs to solve the strongholds built by the Japanese to solve the Japanese built, so that the soldiers need to use their lives to fill them. The soldiers need to attack wildly, so that they can kill the Japanese in the stronghold! Now, with Liu Gen's existence, perhaps it is really easier to kill the Japanese in the stronghold than before!
"Genzi, can you really do it? Do you know whether you can do it is related to the life and death of many soldiers!" Zhao Gang couldn't help asking when he looked at Liu Gen.
Under Zhao Gang's gaze, Liu Gen nodded very seriously. He was not sure about the distance that was too far, but he was still sure of the range of 500 meters. Liu Gen found that he seemed to be further upgraded. Facing the Japanese stronghold, he had sufficiently accurate ranging skills, which could undoubtedly help Liu Gen better hit the shooting hole of the Japanese stronghold with shells!
I made a secret decision in my heart. When I had a skill point again, I must upgrade the distance measurement skills again. Liu Gen could think that he would definitely have many opportunities to face the Japanese stronghold in the future. The distance measurement was accurate enough to help Liu Gen better capture the Japanese stronghold!
"Political Commissar Zhao, I am sure that I have an absolute certainty within 500 meters!" Faced with Zhao Gang's suspicion, Liu Gen spoke with great confidence.
When it comes to shooting, Liu Gen does not have so much confidence. After a period of training, his shooting skills have only reached the level of ordinary soldiers. Compared with Zhang Dabiao and others, they are still much worse. But when it comes to shooting artillery, in the independent regiment, Liu Gen said that he was the second, so no matter how many Japanese soldiers were, Liu Gen was not afraid. He had enough confidence in his artillery technology.
"That's good! I'll report to the brigade commander later and apply for more shells from the brigade commander to avoid insufficient shells from our shells." Zhao Gang said in a deep voice.
Zhao Gang chose to ask Liu Gen if he was confident enough, and to confirm that he knew how high-explosive bombs of the Independent Regiment of Type 92 Infantry Cannons were. What can twenty high-explosive bombs do? I'm afraid it won't take long. Since Liu Gen is so confident in himself, Zhao Gang didn't mind applying for more shells from the brigade commander for Liu Gen to use.
"Political Commissar Zhao, you did a good job this time. We must give enough trust to a good gunner like Genzi." Seeing Liu Gen leave, Li Yunlong praised.
When he returned to the artillery company, Liu Gen's expression was a little solemn, and he made a promise in front of Li Yunlong and others. If there was any problem in the battle, it would be bad. Liu Gen didn't want his words to become empty words. Looking at the Type 92 infantry cannons and three 81 mortars carried by the artillery company soldiers, Liu Gen thought seriously.
If you want to deal with the Japanese strongholds, mortars will not be of much use. The Type 92 infantry cannon can be used as cannons when firing flat, and can be used to deal with the Japanese strongholds. And most importantly, the Type 92 infantry cannon is sufficiently concealed, and it is only 50 cm high after removing the protective shield, which is almost the same as the height of a heavy machine gun, and is not easy to be discovered by the Japanese.
The 81 mortar is good, but it is too easy to be discovered by the Japanese and cannot get close to the Japanese stronghold. What's more, when the 81 mortar is bombarded, it will be a parabola. Liu Gen is not sure enough to use the mortar to hit the Japanese stronghold.
The next evening, the Independence Regiment finally arrived at the designated location. As soon as he arrived at the designated location, Liu Gen took several soldiers from the artillery company to observe. After observing the Japanese stronghold, Liu Gen looked ugly. He found that the Japanese stronghold was indeed made of cement. The Japanese stronghold looked very strong. Looking at such a Japanese stronghold, Liu Gen could confirm that the artillery shells in the artillery company could not pose too much threat to the Japanese stronghold.
"Genzi, how about it? Can our regiment's artillery pose a threat to the Japanese stronghold?" Li Yunlong asked with some concern when he saw Liu Gen bringing the soldiers back.
Through the telescope in his hand, Li Yunlong also saw the Japanese stronghold and knew that the Japanese stronghold was not simple, but he still wanted to ask Liu Gen, the company commander of the artillery company. Just looking at Liu Gen's expression, Li Yunlong did not have much hope. If the artillery company's artillery company could work on the Japanese stronghold, then Liu Gen would not have been like this.
