Chapter 790 Li Yunlong: I can’t give you all the meat (second update)
Major General Hashimoto's face suddenly became particularly ugly.
Just now, he and the chief of staff believed that there was no Eighth Route Army in the blocking position, and that Okamura Neji's introduction about the tunnels was all a bluff to shirk responsibility for the defeat.
In the blink of an eye, an infantry squad was eaten by the Eighth Route Army.
It was like a loud slap hitting him hard on the face, and he ordered quickly.
"The artillery fired immediately and immediately covered the Eighth Route Army's blocking position with artillery fire."
"The field artillery battalion, mountain artillery squadron, and heavy artillery battalion all participate in the battle."
"I will use artillery shells to plow the front blocking position twice and destroy all the tunnel entrances and exits on the position."
Countless artillery shells hit the position with harsh screams, thick smoke billowed, dust flew, and countless sandbags and logs were blown into the sky.
In an instant, the position was covered in dust raised by artillery shells, and all the skills were lost.
"Rumble..."
More than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles suddenly sprayed black smoke backwards and roared towards the battlefield.
Three infantry squadrons, followed by more than 500 Japanese soldiers, hid behind chariots in small groups and quickly approached the battlefield.
"Rumble..."
The shelling continued, and Major General Hashimoto could no longer see the situation on the position clearly. There was thick smoke and dust everywhere.
The attacking troops also rushed to a position fifty or sixty meters in front of the formation under the cover of artillery fire.
If you charge forward quickly, you will be in a blocking position within ten seconds at most.
Li Yunlong was hiding in the tunnel, flanked by Deng Jingye, the commander of the Wangdu Guard Regiment, and Zhou, the commander of the 25th Regiment.
Listening to the constant explosions above their heads, Li Yunlong and Deng Jingye both looked calm, with excitement in their eyes, expecting the Japanese army to launch a new round of attack soon.
Captain Zhou has just arrived. Although he has learned how to fight in the tunnel, he has never actually fought in it.
Even though there was tunnel protection above my head, I still didn't have much confidence when facing the Japanese heavy artillery attack.
Although he pretended to be calm, there was still a hint of worry on his face from time to time.
"Don't worry, Commander Zhou... The Japanese heavy artillery can't damage our tunnels, they can at most destroy the entrances and exits of the tunnels." Li Yunlong comforted with a smile.
"There are entrances and exits all around us. If you destroy one, there will be another."
"This bit of shelling is nothing to us."
Captain Zhou smiled bitterly and did not answer.
After all, he has never fought in a tunnel battle, and has never experienced first-hand how strong a tunnel's anti-artillery capabilities are.
Just rely on Li Yunlong's words to comfort him, and he can't be completely relieved no matter what he says.
"Commander, the Japanese artillery fire coverage is weakening... Three infantry squadrons with twelve taels of tanks and armored vehicles have reached a position 60 meters in front of the formation." The observation post suddenly rushed into the headquarters, panting and reporting.
"The little devil above us must be very angry with us for sending so many troops here to die..." Li Yunlong answered with bright eyes.
It's as if the attackers on the ground are not little devils, but pieces of fat meat brought to your mouth, and you can eat whatever you want.
Deng Jingye immediately stood up and asked for a fight: "Captain..."
"You hand these little devils over to the Wangdu garrison, and give me fifty Molotov cocktails. I guarantee that the little devils' attacking troops will never come back and will be annihilated on the ground."
Captain Zhou didn't know where he got the courage, and he refused to lag behind and asked for a fight: "I'll give all the benefits to the Wangdu garrison for whatever reason."
"Captain Li, my 25th Regiment is not a vegetarian either."
"The soldiers have fully understood the tunnels under their feet and learned to fight in tunnels."
"Leave these little devils to me, and the 25th Regiment can make them come back."
Li Yunlong interrupted angrily: "Stop arguing."
"The Wangdu Garrison Regiment has already eaten an infantry squad of Japanese soldiers. You can't keep eating meat. The Only Regiment and the 25th Regiment hide behind to drink from the northwest wind."
"In the next battle, the garrison regiment will rest. The only regiment and the 25th regiment will each dispatch a main battalion to participate in the battle."
"The two regiments cooperate with each other and strive to annihilate the Japanese attacking troops and destroy all tanks and armored vehicles."
"Especially for the 25th Regiment, this is the first time for the comrades to fight in tunnels."
"I don't ask the participating troops to kill many Japs or destroy many tanks and armored vehicles. But the participating troops must learn how to fight in tunnel warfare and adapt to tunnel warfare as soon as possible."
…………
"Rumble..."
The roar of the Japanese tanks suddenly increased, and more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles parked in front of the formation suddenly accelerated and rushed towards their respective targets, getting faster and faster.
More than five hundred Japanese soldiers just followed the tank. Some were holding rifles and others were holding machine guns. They all stared at the front of the tank with cautious faces, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would send death squads to blast the tank at close range.
The battle process was exactly the same as the fire test just now.
Facing the rapid assault of the attacking troops, the Eighth Route Army in the blocking position seemed to be dead and had no reaction at all.
Except for the smoke and the burning fire, there was no movement.
"Did the Eighth Route Army get blown away again..." Major General Hashimoto, the brigade commander, said to himself.
But he quickly shook his head and rejected the idea.
"impossible……"
"During the fire reconnaissance, there was no movement on the position, but an infantry squad under our command was completely wiped out."
"The Eighth Route Army troops on the battlefield must have gone into hiding in the tunnels."
Before anyone could react from their reverie, the heavy machine gun mounted on the tank suddenly joined the battle.
Major General Hashimoto thought they had discovered the Eighth Route Army and were using vehicle-mounted machine guns to suppress fire.
It turned out to be a false alarm, as the vehicle-mounted machine gun only fired for more than ten seconds before stopping.
More than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles rushed to the front line trenches of the blocking position at the same time.
A trench more than one meter wide is no more than a small ditch in front of a tank, and it is easy to drive through it.
More than five hundred Japanese soldiers rushed to the blocking position together as if they had been given a shot of blood, and followed the tanks to continue their assault.
There were dozens of corpses scattered in the trench, which must have been the exploratory troops that had just been destroyed.
This scene enraged the Japanese attacking troops. Seeing that several tunnel entrances and exits were all destroyed by artillery fire, the team leader took it for granted that the artillery fire had destroyed all tunnel entrances and exits and successfully blocked the Eighth Route Army underground.
Without hesitation, he led the troops to continue the assault, preparing to seize the Eighth Route Army's second blocking position in one go.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, a dull explosion suddenly sounded right in front. A tank more than 20 meters away was instantly covered in flames. The driver and gunner crawled out screaming, looking very embarrassed.
"Rumble..."
The second tank that was charging forward quickly was attacked at the same time. The fire instantly engulfed the body of the tank and the tank stopped at the same time.
"Boom boom boom..."
Three explosions sounded simultaneously about ten meters to his left. The moment black smoke rose from the ground, six or seven soldiers fell to the ground. Some were motionless, while others screamed.
"Enemy attack... step up alert..." The captain was startled and quickly ordered, lying on the ground.
"Da da da……"
A burst of gunfire rang out right behind him, and the bullet hit the back of his head and penetrated the bodies of the two soldiers in front of him, scaring the captain to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
