Chapter 117 The Moon Army changes its attack tactics

At three o'clock in the morning, the commander of the independent fourth independent brigade of the Yuan Army, Tai Laoxu, commander of the Brigade of Katayama Province, issued the combat order.

After the two groups of puppet troops were strengthened with heavy machine guns and mortars, they began to attack from the left and right sides respectively.

Tsuneichi Moriki commanded the advancing artillery troops and began to shell the position of the New Regiment in Yangcun.

Six mountain guns and six field guns fired grenades and shrapnel on the position one after another.

The puppet troops relied on the cover of the artillery troops to quickly advance forward.

At this time, the puppet troops on the left and right were strengthened by thirteen heavy machine guns and fourteen mortars respectively.

That time, heavy machine guns and mortars would not cover the rear. They would advance behind the infantry and conduct close-range support operations.

The Yangcun New Regiment was in position, and Li Yunlong calmly commanded the troops to fight with a shell gun.

Is he prepared to repeat the same trick, bringing the puppet troops closer and then launching fire interception?

The soldiers held different weapons and paid close attention to the movements of the puppet troops. They were ready to shoot.

A large number of Japanese and puppet troops advanced rapidly east of the artillery cover, and mortars stopped coming eastward about a thousand meters away from the position.

The artillerymen quickly set up the mortars and quickly constructed artillery positions.

One after another, heavy machine guns were building machine gun positions less than 800 meters away from the position, and the black muzzles of the guns were misaligned with the position.

Counting the heavy machine guns of the five independent infantry brigades, there were more than forty heavy machine guns ready to fire everywhere at this time.

Not long after, the machine gun teams of each detachment of the Lunar Army and the grenade detachment directly under each squad also set up weapons.

A large number of light machine guns and grenade launchers were scattered four to five hundred meters away from the position.

The weapons were aimed at the new regiment's position, and they were ready to fire.

A large number of riflemen formed groups of four, and they alternately covered the advance.

When they advanced to less than 300 meters from the position, the little Japanese rifle legs stopped advancing one after another.

They held their rifles and pulled the bolts, getting ready to shoot.

A member of the Imperial Alliance Army continued to advance towards the new regiment's position, urging the Moon Army to the east.

"Move forward quickly, they will provide us with cover from behind."

"Intrude into their positions and break through their defensive positions. They will be rewarded heavily!"

"The only defense in Yangcun is Tubal Road. They will concentrate their firepower to cover our advance. They will not have any chance to shoot."

Each officer of the Moon Army waved his saber and directly begged hundreds of puppet troops to charge forward.

But all the little Japanese troops stayed behind. They deployed light and heavy weapons at different locations and were ready to shoot.

It is obvious that those puppet troops do not want to be used as bait, so if they want the puppet troops to advance, the new regiment's position will definitely launch fire interception.

After the new group of soldiers starts shooting and exposes their position, the Lunar Army can gather all its firepower to strike.

The Moon Army wants to use the puppet army to attract a new group to be exposed, and then kill all the exposed soldiers!

The hundreds of puppet soldiers were naturally not fools, and they quickly realized the little devil's strategy.

Could it be that they have no choice now? After all, there is a large amount of Lunar army firepower deployed behind them.

If those puppet soldiers directly disobey the Moon Army's combat orders, those little devils will definitely shoot them without hesitation.

All the hundreds of puppet troops could do at this time was to bite the bullet and continue to advance forward.

"Commander, why did the little devil stop advancing? Instead, the puppet troops kept approaching their position."

"There's something wrong with the kid's head. They can't even take our position. If those puppet soldiers come over, are they going to die?"

"Are the weapons and equipment of those puppet troops in Bu Nao really good? When they get close, we will focus our fire and kill them all."

After the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao saw the actions of the Yue puppet troops, he asked Li Yunlong with a puzzled expression.

Li Yunlong carefully observed the situation in front of the position. When he found that a large number of Japs were staying at different positions and hundreds of puppet troops continued to advance, he frowned tightly.

The puppet army's combat effectiveness is very poor, even if there are hundreds of them, but with the current weapon configuration of the new regiment, it is very easy to destroy them.

But Li Yunlong knew very well that if the puppet troops on his side launched a fire attack, they would be completely exposed to the little devils.

The light and heavy weapons constructed by the little devils in different areas can carry out precise strikes, thereby killing their own troops!

Lao Li has been fighting with the Jaap for several years, and he knows very well about the Jaap's shooting ability.

The light and heavy machine gun can shoot at a distance of hundreds of meters, with a high hit rate, with seven or eight bullets out of ten hitting the target.

If the rifle leg is three hundred meters away and the grenade leg is five hundred meters away, then it is simply impossible to hit it accurately!

At that point, even the most elite battalion of the new regiment cannot compare with them.

After all, do the little devils have enough ammunition for training? Moreover, they have been tempered in actual combat and are very capable in individual combat.

The soldiers of the new regiment can fight with each other only two hundred meters away!

"Damn it, are you going to use puppet troops as bait to attract us to be exposed, and then attack them?"

"It's not cost-effective to kill those puppet troops in a sudden attack. We have to find a way to directly repel those puppet troops without exposing the situation."

"Da Biao, have you seen that, those little devils are not fools. After being beaten and suffering losses, they will immediately change their tactics."

"I just want to despise them, and I will definitely pay a heavy price!"

Li Yunlong's expression became serious, and he began to think about defensive strategies.

Hundreds of puppet troops are getting closer and closer to the position. The more than 100 puppet troops at the front have advanced to about a hundred meters away from the position.

The puppet troops were not frightened either. As they advanced, they shot at random.

Most of them were equipped with captured Chinese-made, Hanyang-made rifles.

Those puppet soldiers had enough bullets, and their rifles fired bullets one after another.

Of course, if a large number of rifle bullets hit the position, layers of dust will be stirred up.

The new group of soldiers were hidden in the trenches, and their shooting could not cause any harm to the soldiers.

The shootings of the puppet troops cannot but embolden themselves.

Li Yunlong is thinking about strategies to deal with the situation. Ding Weixin's second regiment, which has arrived at the Yangcun battlefield, is now in place.

The New Second Regiment has been deployed on the flank of Yangcun, and the barrier assists the New First Regiment in combat.

As the puppet troops launched their attack, Ding Wei raised his telescope to observe.

When he saw a large number of Japs troops building positions at different locations and hundreds of puppet troops continuing to advance towards the positions, Ding Wei instantly saw through the Japs' plot.

"Isn't that little devil cunning? He directly grasped Lao Li's lifeline."

"Lao Li regards his little possessions as a treasure. He holds them in his mouth for fear of melting and holds them in his lap for fear of falling off."

"If I asked him to fight those puppet troops and expose their weapons and equipment, wouldn't I beg for his life?"

"Not to mention the hundreds of puppet troops, even the hundreds of little devils, Lao Li is not willing to risk the destruction of weapons and equipment to start shooting."

Ding Wei slowly put the telescope eastward and said with a smile on his face.

Is he Li Yunlong's old comrade-in-arms for many years? He naturally understands Li Yunlong's character.

"Captain, the new regiment has become rich again. I heard that there are more than a dozen heavy machine guns at their machine gun position!"

"And they have nine grenades in one battalion, and their artillery position has two infantry guns."

"This time we are fighting in Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town. They don't have that many weapons and equipment."

"Then Captain Li is really capable. I haven't seen him for a few days. Isn't the firepower of the whole group going up?"

Several cadres of the New Second Regiment stood near Ding Wei. They looked towards Yang Cun and said with envious expressions on their faces.

After their troops arrive, they will definitely contact the new regiment as soon as possible.

They also probably have some knowledge of the deployment of the New Regiment in Yangcun.

After knowing the weapon configuration of Li Yunlong's troops, can he make the cadres of the New Second Regiment envious?

After all, their whole regiment only has a few grenades so far, and the number of light and heavy machine guns may not be as many as that of the new regiment or battalion.

"Is Li Yunlong extremely rich now? No matter what we do, we have to beat that rich man Li Yunlong."

"Old Mr. Li muttered that he had a poor background and worked part-time as a day laborer for landlords in the east to earn a living."

"We will give him Li Yunlong a part-time job, and we won't ask for food, but we should ask him for some weapons and ammunition."

"Deploy the light machine gun to shoot the legs and the rifle legs, touch it from the flank, and launch a fire attack on the puppet troops."

"Be careful and leave immediately after the fight without stopping. Otherwise, the firepower from behind will definitely retaliate."

Ding Wei looked at Yangcun and immediately gave the battle order in the east.

The New Second Regiment deployed four machine gunners and dozens of riflemen to launch combat operations.

Those soldiers are naturally veterans with rich combat experience, and their individual combat capabilities are definitely the strongest.

Ding Wei's new second group is not simple. The group leader, Ding Weifu, the boss personally ordered the generals.
