Chapter 144 The prelude to the comprehensive counter-offensive was victorious
During the boring and boring practical exercises of the field soldiers of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, two days passed quickly.
This night.
The field army of the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region, which was guarding the Titanium Yuan, finally launched an attack in the darkness of the Japanese defenders in the two directions of Xin and Niangziguan.
As the Minister of Logistics of the Army!
Although Zhou Yu did not directly participate in this battle, he was in the rear for combat troops, continuously delivering weapons, ammunition, medical medicines, etc.
Because the battle started at the beginning of the morning of midnight.
It's not too hot in early summer nights.
But the sound of gunfire ignited our army's determination to counterattack in full swing.
The battle began in the early morning.
After the long first hour passed.
Titanium City just received good news that it won the first battle. Ziniang Pass’s first battle, Shouyang City, easily won it.
The second hour.
The fourth column of the territory led by the brigade commander did not rest, and advanced east along the Zhengtai Line, heading straight west to Quanlong, and heading towards Quanyang.
Three points.
The Japanese army passed the telegram and learned about our army's night attack, and sent more than 3,000 troops to reinforce Yuping Avenue!
More than three thousand people!
It is almost the strength of an infantry regiment of the Japanese.
pity.
On the way, the third column, which was ambushed by our army, fought an ambush!
No one knows.
When did the third column, which had just fought side by side with the Fourth Column in Shouyang City, set up an ambush on both sides of Yuping Avenue?
The Japanese's more than 3,000 reinforcements were all wiped out!
Five o'clock...
The third columns in Zhaojiazhuang, Runan Village, Taiquan, Guojiazhuang and other places were successively conquered, and the fourth column was joined. Then they continued to advance east along the Zhengtai Line, and the target was directly aimed at the last garrison point of the Japanese guard Ziniang Pass.
——Giant Town, Moving Town!
And at this time.
The teacher sent reports to the third column and the fourth column through the radio, requiring that the two towns be taken down within half an hour.
Then launch an attack on Zi Niangguan throughout the line!
Half past five!
The twelve fighter jets of the Flying Eagle Team led by Zhou Weiguo set out from the Titanium Military Airport and flew towards Ziniangguan.
Another group.
The flight team established at the headquarters flew the remaining eleven fighter planes in the direction of Koxin.
They only have one task to perform.
——Bombing the Japanese at any cost!
Because time is tight!
The former Titanium Military Region Command issued an order.
Before dawn, the last battle against Ziniang must be launched!
so.
The attacking troops in front did not have time to get involved with the Japanese soldiers stationed in Giant Town and Moved Town.
but.
You can't ignore it, otherwise the beginning and end will be blocked and there will be a change!
then.
After discussing the discussion between the third column and the fourth column, the two commanders decided to send a regiment of troops to attack the two towns respectively.
The rest.
Let's hurry to Ziniang Pass together and strive to get the level before dawn.
As long as we seize the eastern gate of Titanium Yuan, the western area will sooner or later be the treasure of our army.
From this we can also see that Ziniangguan’s strategic position is particularly important.
otherwise?
The teacher will not send two columns of troops to attack here together.
then.
The former brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, currently the commander of the fourth column, sent an independent regiment to attack the Giant Town.
The Third Column also sent a regiment's main force to attack Yili Town.
The remaining troops rushed to Ziniang Pass at full speed.
Speaking of the independent group attacking the Giant Town, we have to talk about Li Yunlong, a fool.
This guy is no longer the leader of the independent group.
Last time.
Didn’t you fight with Cheng Xiaozi in Titanium City?
Then he was demoted to battalion commander.
This is good...
Still the battalion commander of the first battalion!
I don’t know if the teacher did it on purpose or forgot it, so I didn’t give him the position to be restored.
As for the former battalion commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao.
Now he is the regiment commander.
certainly!
Although Li Yunlong was the battalion commander, there was a sound of gunfire.
The whole regiment has to listen to him as the battalion commander.
Even Zhao Gang, who was the acting leader, had no complaints.
after all!
In terms of military command, he, a college student, is indeed not as good as someone like Li Yunlong who has climbed up from the grassroots level.
After the third and fourth columns left.
The Independent Regiment's attack on Giant Town began.
Towns like this.
The real number of Japanese soldiers was not large, and most of them were puppet troops arrested from the ground they were under their jurisdiction to make up for their numbers.
Facing the giant town with strong walls.
The Independent Group could not conquer it for a while, which made Li Yunlong feel anxious.
"Damn it, if my artillery group was not transferred, he would have lost his city gate building!"
Li Yunlong cursed.
At this time.
Zhang Dabiao, the regiment chief who was following him, asked, "Captain, order a strong attack, I will take the lead in charge!"
Regarding this.
Li Yunlong directly rejected Zhang Dabiao's proposal and said, "No, tough battles do not have your style of fighting. You kid have to learn to be smarter!"
"The tactic of adding fuel is a taboo for military strategists. It is purely giving the Japanese heads. My soldiers are more expensive than artillery shells!"
"We won't do this losing deal!"
After saying that.
Li Yunlong's eyes rolled.
Then he said to the guard Duan Peng: "Go and find a way to contact Minister Zhou of the Logistics Department and ask if you can even match the artillery made in the three border areas for my independent regiment!"
before.
The old 129th Division has two artillery regiments.
pity...
Our army divided last time and built several military field troops. The commander of each field army applied to establish an artillery regiment.
How many artillery cannons are used?
Fortunately!
When attacking Titanium, a large number of Japanese artillery were seized after a battle.
But even so.
A field army is like forming an artillery regiment. Seven or eight field army requires seven or eight artillery regiments...
There are almost fifty artillery guns in one artillery regiment!
Eight ones are more than four hundred doors!
No matter how you calculate it, there is not enough artillery, at most you can use the zb-1 type 60mm mortar to make up for the numbers.
The artillery in the field military region is not enough. It can be imagined that where can the artillery of the Independent Regiment be kept? All handed over, and no artillery is left.
Li Yunlong didn't do it at that time!
But this is the order from Zhou Yu and the teacher, and he can't do it even if he doesn't!
The teacher won’t say anything.
Just talk about Zhou Yu!
He made these artillery by himself, and he is now the logistics minister in charge of the entire army! At this time, Li Yunlong couldn't even get confused.
certainly.
Not only an independent group.
Even Ding Wei’s new first group and Kong Jie’s new second group are the same.
artillery!
Only when you gather together can you have power!
Now is the first phase of a full-scale counterattack.
The field army artillery regiment where Li Yunlong was located directly followed the third and fourth columns to attack Ziniang Pass.
There.
That's the key.
The independent regiment attacking the Giant Town naturally did not have artillery assistance in this battle.
But the problem is.
It is difficult to capture the town occupied by the Japanese without artillery!
After thinking about it, Li Yunlong finally ordered Duan Peng and the monk to go to the logistics department to contact Zhou Yu.
here.
Li Yunlong made a small trick.
Why did he let Duan Peng and the monk go instead of others?
Because Duan Peng and Wei Dayong were Zhou Yu's guards before. If these two people contacted Minister Zhou, they would still have the chance to get artillery.
If someone else contacts you, you don’t have to get it.
After receiving the order, Duan Peng and Wei Dayong rode back to Titanium to contact the logistics department.
The logistics department sent the news back to Zhou Yu's ears and frowned.
With this Li Yunlong's personality.
He easily doesn't ask for help when fighting, unless he is really in trouble now.
After thinking about it.
Zhou Yu immediately ordered the logistics department that helped transport artillery to transfer three large-caliber Type 94 mountain cannons to support the independent regiment.
Then.
He urgently drew three artillery pieces from the North China Field Army and transported them to the front line.
After doing this.
He also ordered that the border areas should be built and all the five newly produced artillery cannons were transferred to the North China Field Army.
so.
The number of parties was balanced.
If the newly produced artillery in the border area was transferred to Li Yunlong's independent regiment, it would be too late to go. The border area was far away from Titanium, let alone the independent regiment that was attacking the Giant Town.
But this operation has come.
It is equivalent to Zhou Yu giving away three cannons from Li Yunlong’s Independent Regiment!
"Damn it, I've taken advantage of this old boy Li Yunlong again! Forget it, as long as I fight the Japanese, I don't care whether Li Yunlong takes advantage of it." Zhou Yu sighed to himself.
Having said that.
He remembered the promise he made with Ding Wei and Kong Jie during the Japanese raid two years ago.
He said it.
Give him a year!
A year later!
We must let the Japanese devils taste the feeling of being chased and bombarded by artillery fire.
Now.
Finally done.
Since the Japanese went to war with the beautiful country, all the heavy weapons were transferred to the Pacific battlefield. Now the Japanese in our country have changed, and things have changed.
They are weak, and we are strong.
Of course, it's our turn to bomb the Japanese.
early morning.
In the east sky, a little fish white appeared.
The sun has not risen yet.
The artillery regiment of the Artillery Corps of the Field Army of our Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan Military Region was transported by mules and horses to drag the guns and followed the troops to Ziniang Pass.
in.
There is also an 88mm caliber long-distance elevation cannon at the rear!
Although it was modified based on the 88 anti-aircraft gun, it already has a towed howitzer.
This batch of artillery was also specially ordered by the Logistics Department to transfer from the border area to fight Ziniangguan.
This battle against Ziniang Pass.
Our army is bound to win!
When the artillery regiment arrived at the pass, the sky was still very dim, and a few stars were still shining with brilliant stars.
Sudden!
A signal flare was launched.
The third and fourth columns, the last battle of the night attack launched by Ziniangguan, started.
More than forty large-caliber Type 94 mountain cannons fired and were aimed at the Japanese defenders at Ziniang Pass and beat them up in front of them.
Compared to his predecessor, the Four-One Mountain Cannon!
The 94-style mountain cannon has overcome its biggest flaw - the lack of stability in the shooting state of large elevation angle.
And this way to overcome it!
This is because the Type 94 mountain cannon adopts a split-fork gun frame design with hydraulic retracting device, which solves the stability problem and also increases the horizontal firing range of the artillery!
More than forty artillery fired volleys!
rear.
There are also ten 88mm long-range elevation cannons attacking together.
At this time, the Japanese devils stationed at Zi Niang were immediately buried in a sea of fire!
But this...
Just the beginning.
Under the bombardment of various artillery artillery, the Japanese persisted for a full twenty minutes.
Our army!
Flying Eagle Team has entered the venue.
Twelve fighter planes arrived above Linziniang Pass.
Start aerial bombing operations against points within the range of artillery bombing that cannot be covered by fire.
At this time, the Japanese defenders stationed at Ziniang Pass.
There is no air defense combat capability.
The main reason is that our country's national defense force was completely destroyed by the Japanese in the early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and there was no air force combat system at all.
Japanese devils.
Of course, there will be no air defense firepower in Ziniang Pass.
so.
After several rounds of air strikes, the Japanese defense line at Ziniang Pass was completely defeated by our army.
One hour later.
The bombing stopped.
The third column and the fourth column commanders issued orders at the same time, launching the final battle against Ziniangguan!
7 o'clock in the morning.
It's dawn.
Our army has completely occupied Ziniangguan, Laoguan and the back area, and began to launch fierce attacks on the Japanese devils who retreated in Qihu Village, and drove the Japanese devils east along the Zhengtai line to the well path and the Huaxue Mountain line.
At this time!
The two column commanders ordered the troops to stop the pursuit of the Japanese.
At the same time, the soldiers were ordered to build fortifications on the spot.
To prevent the enemy from having reinforcements and then coming.
actually.
There will be no reinforcements.
At this time, the Japanese were in short supply. In addition to fighting on our land, they also fought in the South and Pacific.
The Japanese fighting on multiple fronts.
It is no longer possible to draw any troops out.
unless.
They gave up the long-running ruling territory like Dongshan and the puppet Manchukuo, and concentrated their troops and transferred them to attack Xishan.
But even if you do this.
It's not something that can be accomplished in one or two days.
It takes time.
Now.
Our army regained control of Ziniangguan and occupied this place, which was equivalent to adding a natural barrier to Titanium.
certainly!
The battle at this time is not over yet.
Direction of mouth!
Because there is only one column of troops, the puppet army has not yet decided on the victory or defeat with the Japanese stationed there.
Now after taking down Ziniang Pass.
The third and fourth column, which had just won the victory, received another order from Titanium Original.
Third Column!
Immediately reinforce the direction of Guxin and assist the First Column to take over Guxin area. The Fourth Column temporarily stayed at Ziniang Pass to prevent the Japanese from fighting back.
At this time.
Zhou Yu, who was in Titanium, could no longer control the joy in his heart when he heard the news of Ziniangguan's victory.
Go out of the city!
Go straight to Ziniang Pass.
After the battle was over, he went to see it again, nothing happened.
and!
Zhou Yu has sent someone to send the weapons, ammunition and logistics supplies to Kouxin.
With the troops from the third column, they have already supported the past.
It is no problem to take down the Koxin area.
After riding a horse to Ziniang Pass, Zhou Yu climbed to Ziniang Pass. Although he was indestructible, he regained Ziniang Pass in his hand.
My heart was full of excitement!
But this.
Not the end!
It was just the beginning of our army's comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese.
One side.
After Li Yunlong led the Independent Regiment and captured Giant Town, he received an order to transfer the Independent Regiment here to garrison.
It's just this old boy!
After seeing Zhou Yu again, he immediately walked over and pretended to salute Zhou Yu and said, "Hello, Chief!"
When Zhou Yu saw that it was him, he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, Lao Li, why are you talking to me?"
Li Yunlong also smiled and said, "How is it, Lao Zhou, our field army fought so beautifully in this battle. When you go back, do you have to invite me to have a drink?"
The battle has not been finished!
Just thinking about having a celebration wine?
Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Drinking? I don't have any alcohol! Besides, it was not your Li Yunlong who beat you alone, so why did I invite you to drink alone?"
Li Yunlong replied, "The leader is not talking nonsense. How could you not have drunk in Titanium? Moreover, our old Li has done a lot of effort in this battle. Even if he has no credit, he should have worked hard, right?"
"so."
Chapter completed!
