Chapter 420 Kong Jie: Don't feel sorry for you, you are a pup
Iwamatsu Yoshio did not expect a group of unarmed people to mess up the Independence Regiment base area. He looked at the Chief of Staff and said nonchalantly: "Weakening the Independence Regiment's military strength and defeating the Independence Regiment... That is a matter for the main force..."
"As long as the common people hold the independence group back and prevent them from continuing to grow and develop!"
"The troops blocking the base area of the Independent Regiment must be on heightened alert!"
"Before the big sweep begins, we must not let a grain of food flow into the independent regiment's base area!"
"After the big sweep begins, the independent regiment will not dare to fight us for a long time due to lack of food. They will have to give up the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare they are good at and fight us head-on!"
The chief of staff immediately answered: "Our army is good at positional warfare, field battles, and large battles... The independent regiment is good at mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare!"
"If they really decide to give up mobile warfare and fight positional warfare with us, they will be using their own shortcomings to overcome the enemy's strengths. We will have already secured victory before the sweep begins!"
Iwamatsu Yoshio said proudly: "You can't underestimate the enemy even if you secure the victory!"
"How many battles were defeated by the enemy at the last moment because we did not stick to caution to the end... The First Army must not make the same mistake again!"
"When you have time, go and help Mr. Fujino and formulate our battle plan for sweeping northwestern Shanxi as soon as possible!"
"The First Army has been defeated for so many years, and it must avenge its shame this time!"
The chief of staff immediately took the order: "Commander, please rest assured..."
"I heard that Mr. Fujino has formulated three battle plans. I will definitely cooperate with him to complete those battle plans as soon as possible!"
"Rumble..."
Amidst the splashing firelight, a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded on a mound 800 meters away.
Li Yunlong's eyes were filled with tears. Before he could say anything, the second explosion had already followed, and the impact point was more than 20 meters away from the previous one...
"Rumble..."
The shelling continued, and Kong Jie on the side became anxious.
It is unbelievable that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Although the independent regiment was equipped with four guns, it only captured so many artillery shells.
It will be difficult to seize it again in the future, which is equivalent to missing one shot every time.
With the power of the 105mm caliber mountain artillery shells, if it hits the Japs, it will definitely be no problem to kill seven or eight Japs with one shell. No matter how many holes are fired, it will not hurt.
But the shells fired now were all for testing purposes and did not hit the Japanese.
Seeing that the heavy artillery battery had not stopped yet, I couldn't help but remind: "Xiao Huang, that's almost it..."
"You idiot Kong Er...why are you so stingy? Aren't they just a few cannonballs? If they are gone, we can just snatch them from the Japs' hands!" Li Yunlong was looking at it enthusiastically, but he couldn't help but complain after hearing Kong Jie's reminder.
.
Kong Jie said angrily: "Do you think these heavy artillery shells are the bullets we use? If you want to seize them, seize them!"
"The entire First Army of the Japanese Army only has a few 105 mm caliber mountain artillery pieces... If you want to seize such matching artillery shells, you may not even have them if you want to capture Taiyuan City!"
Huang Yu immediately explained: "Captain, don't worry... I have discussed with Zhang Dashan to test the strength of the new bunker with ten rounds of heavy artillery shells."
"If the bunker built with steel rails can withstand ten continuous attacks from heavy artillery shells, it can survive the Japanese artillery fire!"
Li Yunlong immediately answered: "Thankfully, Kong Er is still the leader of the regiment, and he doesn't think about the problem as thoroughly as Xiao Huang!"
"The bunker that is being bombed is used to save the lives of the soldiers. It must be tested several times to ensure that there will be no problems before using it in positional warfare!"
"Xiao Huang, don't listen to Kong Er, continue the experiment!"
"I don't feel sorry for you when you betray me..." Kong Jie glared at Li Yunlong and said, "Since you are so generous, why not bring some rounds from the New Second Regiment to test them? Anyway, after the test of these bunkers is successful, the New Second Regiment will also use them!"
Li Yunlong is famous for being stingy, and getting something out of his hands is definitely harder than climbing to the sky!
As soon as he heard that Kong Jie was eyeing the heavy artillery shell in his hand, he immediately chose to shut up, as if he had said nothing just now.
Kong Jie curled his lips and raised the telescope again to look at the bunker.
As for saving artillery shells and stopping firing, they are just talking about it, but they will not actually do it.
The bombardment ended two minutes later, and while the three regiment commanders were still immersed in the powerful power displayed by the heavy artillery, Huang Yu had already torn his legs and ran towards the bunker.
Three large craters were blown into the mound covering the bunker, indicating that three shells had just hit the target.
One of the craters was so deep that even the first layer of rails was blown out!
There are seven bomb craters distributed next to the bunker, three of which are right next to the bunker. This is equivalent to the fact that the bunker was hit by at least six heavy artillery shells during the shelling just now.
When there was a real war, the Japanese used heavy artillery to cover the battlefield.
Even if you focus on one point to explode, it is difficult to explode six consecutive shells at the same point.
If the bunker in front of us is intact and can withstand six consecutive heavy artillery strikes, it will definitely be able to withstand the frontal battlefield of the decisive battle with the Japanese.
The three regiment leaders understood and rushed into the bunker together...
Except for the bunker on the ground and in the direction of the gate, all other directions are wrapped by rails.
Just like building a tree house, the steel rails intersect with each other, and the walls are built layer by layer. The outside is tamped with soil, and the top is covered with two layers of steel rails, and then covered with a half-meter-thick soil layer...
Unless all the soil around the bunker is blown up, it will be difficult for these staggered rails, which are deeply embedded in the soil, to move, let alone be blown down...
"Haha... the bunker built by Xiao Huang is useful!" Li Yunlong touched and knocked, exclaiming with excitement on his face.
"There are plenty of railways in the base area. As long as we have time, we can bring back tens of thousands of dollars and rails without any problem!"
"Now I'm not afraid of the little devil's heavy armored division..."
"With the bunker built with steel rails... I promise to kill as many as they come..."
"Kong Erluzi, your ten heavy artillery shells were not in vain, you gave us such a powerful bunker!"
"If nothing happens, I will go back and organize the troops to dig up the railway and build a bunker with steel rails!"
Ding Wei was also very excited, and his hanging heart was more than half relieved, but he quickly regained his composure, stopped Li Yunlong who was about to leave, and said: "Old Li, don't worry!"
"The success of the rail bunker only means that we have one more way to deal with the little devils."
"How to specifically deal with the Japanese sweeps, where to block, where to fight annihilation, where to send reinforcements...how many troops to deploy for reinforcements, how many troops to carry out ambush...have not been discussed yet!"
"Now I run back and don't even know where to build a blocking position. Isn't it a waste of time?"
Li Yunlong quickly retreated: "Old Ding is right... Let's go to the independent regiment headquarters to discuss it now..."
"We must make Yoshio Iwamatsu feel embarrassed in front of us!" This chapter has been completed!
