Li Yunlong led his troops to Yushe County with the loot.
At this time, the new regiment was still in reserve. Although it was impossible to have any more combat missions, Li Yunlong still had to come over and report to the brigade commander.
One regiment of Japanese soldiers was almost wiped out, while the new regiment suffered very few casualties.
Because Li Yunlong prepared artillery from two artillery regiments, 40 mountain guns and more than 40 mortars, and fired thousands of artillery shells at the Japanese camp.
And half of them are 75mm grenades, which are very powerful, although they are not as explosive as 105 or 150 caliber grenades.
But the power of the explosion produced by the shells falling on the empty Japanese camp was undoubtedly terrifying.
On average, there was one artillery shell for every three Japanese soldiers.
At least half of the Japanese soldiers were killed and injured in pieces under the intensive artillery fire.
The remaining Japs tried to take out the mortar positions of the New Regiment, but were shot and killed by the New Regiment in large numbers. Many Japs were also killed on the way to Heshun County while being chased.
In the end, only about 200 Japanese soldiers were left to protect the alliance flag and fled to Heshun County.
By the time Li Yunlong led his troops to the outside of Yushe County, the 386th Brigade had already launched a general offensive against the Japanese in Yushe County.
Soldiers from the 772nd Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment have entered the city and are engaging in fierce street fighting with the Japanese.
"Chief of Staff Zhou, where is our brigade commander?"
Outside the 386th Brigade headquarters, Li Yunlong poked his head inside and saw that there were only Chief of Staff Zhou and the telegraph operator in the headquarters, so he asked cautiously.
"What's your kid doing?"
"Did you stab Lou Zi again?"
Hearing Li Yunlong's voice, Chief of Staff Zhou, who was sorting out documents, first smiled, but then he saw Li Yunlong sneaking around like a spy spying on secrets.
The first reaction was that Li Yunlong was in trouble again, and this guy came to the brigade commander to beg for mercy.
After all, Captain Li's dark history was all registered with the head of the headquarters.
It was only after Zhao Gang partnered with Li Yunlong that this kid basically didn't make any mistakes. Not only did he not make any mistakes, he also won many battles.
Many acquaintances who knew Captain Li were shocked. Is this still the original Li Yunlong?
"No, no." Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "I didn't cause any trouble. My side is finished, but your side hasn't finished the fight yet?"
"Not yet." Chief of Staff Zhou said, "There are still about a few dozen Japs left. They are fighting against the enemy with a large bunker, and the troops will not be able to capture it for a long time."
"Bunker?" Li Yunlong said in surprise, "Why don't you go up to the bazooka or mountain artillery? Have you run out of artillery shells and rocket launchers? How about I support the brigade with some artillery shells and rocket launchers?"
"We still have artillery shells and rockets at the brigade headquarters." Chief of Staff Zhou shook his head and said, "We have used bazookas and mountain artillery, but they have no effect."
Li Yunlong looked surprised. What kind of bunker could not even be destroyed by bazookas and mountain cannons?
Even the city walls of the county town cannot withstand the fierce bombardment of mountain artillery. Are the Japanese bunkers more resistant to beating than the city walls?
Chief of Staff Zhou continued: "The Japanese relied on the headquarters built by Yushe Primary School and built a large bunker and a dozen small bunkers with reinforced concrete around it."
"All the small bunkers were knocked down by mountain cannons and rocket launchers, and in the end there was only one big bunker left. This big bunker is estimated to be four to five meters thick. It is said to be built with cement and reinforced concrete."
"We used both the mountain cannon and the rocket launcher to destroy the outer shell of the Japanese bunker."
"The brigade commander is directing the battle from the front right now."
"So evil?" Li Yunlong frowned, "Then I have to take a look."
"Come back, why are you so anxious?" Chief of Staff Zhou called to Li Yunlong.
"Chief of Staff Zhou, do you have anything else to do?" Li Yunlong turned around and asked with a smile.
Chief of Staff Zhou asked: "Li Yunlong, how many Japanese soldiers did your regiment kill in Moshi'ao this time?"
Li Yunlong said in a dull tone: "Hey, there aren't many, only about 3,000 Japanese."
Chief of Staff Zhou's eyes and tone changed: "What did you say? 3000? Oh my god, did your new regiment really kill Japs No. 3000?"
In the message that Zhao Gang drafted and asked the telegraph operator to send to the headquarters, it only stated that the new regiment had won a great victory, and there was no specific data on the annihilation of the enemy.
Li Yunlong roughly calculated the number of enemy annihilations based on the number of enemy kills by the cavalry battalions after the three main infantry battalions returned from chasing the Japanese.
Because the mountain artillery shells were so powerful, many of the Japanese who were killed could not even put together their complete bodies.
Therefore, it is difficult to determine the specific number of dead enemies by counting the corpses of the Japanese.
"It should be more than three thousand."
"About 200 people from an entire Japanese regiment fled into Heshun County."
"Hey... almost wiped out another Japanese regiment."
Commander Li sighed, his tone was pity, but seeing the shock on Chief of Staff Zhou's face, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Go away, get out now." Chief of Staff Zhou waved his hand and cursed with a smile, "Our four regiments have been busy here for several days, and we haven't even finished dealing with hundreds of Japs. You have killed more than 3,000 Japs with just one regiment."
, are you going to let others live?"
With a smile, Li Yunlong walked out of the brigade command post and walked toward the city of Yushe County with the guards and the sword squadron.
The entire county is covered with traces of fighting.
The broken bricks of the bunkers and gun towers that had been bombarded by mountain artillery were still stained with blood, but there was not a single intact body.
The city wall is covered with bullet holes and shell craters, and the entire city wall was blasted with a gap of more than 10 meters wide by field artillery.
Li Yunlong, the guards, and the Sharp Sword Squadron entered the city on a ladder set up in the gap, heading towards the direction where the gunfire came from.
…
In Yushe County, the command post of the Japanese Army's Banjin Battalion.
Captain Itazu Naozumi studied architecture before joining the army. If he had not joined the army, he would have become an excellent architect.
As early as a few months ago, when the new group showed its ferocious attack ability, Itazu Naozumi was immediately frightened.
The sturdy turrets and bunkers on the Yuliao Highway were repaired for more than a year, but they were all removed overnight.
Even if cement was later shipped to build reinforced concrete turrets and bunkers, they were all quickly taken away by the new regiment.
Even the Japanese strongholds on the southern section of the Baijin Railway, dozens of kilometers away, were not spared.
Therefore, Itazu Naozumi used all the remaining cement and steel bars to strengthen the defense of the headquarters.
A dozen small and large bunkers were built around the headquarters.
The small bunker was quickly destroyed under the fierce firepower of the Eighth Route Army's continuous rockets and mountain artillery.
But the large bunker withstood the fierce attacks from rockets and mountain artillery.
Itazu Naozumi made full use of his architectural knowledge to build this large bunker.
One 75mm field gun and two 37mm rapid-fire guns were modified and built into three armored towers with steel plates and reinforced concrete.
The fortification of his large bunker is very strong, with the thickness of the roof and walls up to 4 meters, and the armor thickness of the armored tower is also up to 300 mm.
It can even withstand continuous bombardment from heavy artillery.
But at this time, Itazu Naozumi, who was in the big bunker, was in a panic.
Because the headquarters sent a telegram, the 225th Regiment, which was rushing to rescue Yushe and Liao County, was ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Heshun. It suffered extremely heavy losses and could no longer come.
Itazu Naozumi is very clear that there is no unbreakable fortress in this world.
His large bunker defense was stronger than a single permanent fortification on the Maginot Line.
But now that the entire city has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it is only a matter of time before this bunker is captured.
He was also prepared to hold on for three to five days and wait for the 225th Regiment to come to rescue him. The 225th Regiment was already finished, so he would have no more reinforcements.
Putting the telegram in his pocket, Itazu Naozumi said to the surrounding soldiers: "There is a call from the headquarters. The 225th Regiment is only 30 kilometers away from the Liao County seat. Reinforcements will arrive in less than ten hours!"
Itazu Naojun's tone sounded vowed and full of confidence.
but…
A smart Japanese glanced at the telegraph operator's face, which hinted at sadness, and his mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army has started attacking again!"
Some Japanese exclaimed loudly.
"Baga, fight!"
Itazu Naozumi looked out through the observation hole. The Eighth Route Army demolition team, holding a bamboo pole with explosive bags tied to it, rushed towards the big bunker amidst shouts of killing.
These Eighth Route Army demolition teams also wore gas masks.
The shooting hole of the big bunker is relatively long, and it is impossible to stuff the explosive bag in by hand. The only way is to tie the explosive bag to a bamboo pole and stuff it in.
Although the shooting hole of the large bunker looks relatively large from the outside, it is designed to be wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, similar to the shape of a funnel.
Therefore, even if the eight-way machine gunners were covering and firing from outside, it would be difficult to hit the Japanese troops inside the big bunker.
At that moment, itazu Naozumi showed a fierce expression on his lips. He personally operated a Type 92 heavy machine gun and fired at the Eighth Route Army demolition team. The machine gun hit was both tricky and fierce. The Eighth Route Army demolition team fell into a pool of blood. A Japanese mountain cannon
and two rapid-fire cannons were also firing. In less than a minute, a platoon of demolition teams from the Eighth Route Army fell on the charging road before they could reach the big bunker.
The gunfire stopped, and there was an eerie silence on the battlefield.
"Hey!" Looking at the Eighth Route Army corpses on the ground in front of the Japanese bunker, Cheng Shifa punched the bunker in front of him and let out a heavy sigh.
In order to destroy this big bunker, he had already joined a company of soldiers, but in the end he didn't even touch the hair of the big bunker.
"Let Cheng Shifa stop the attack!"
"Even if ten more companies are sent in, they still won't be able to capture this bunker."
In a two-story private house, the brigade commander saw this scene through the telescope, his face was a little ugly, and he turned to Deputy Brigadier Han next to him and said.
"Start digging the tunnel."
"Li Yunlong has dealt with the Japanese reinforcements. There will be no Japanese reinforcements coming in a short time."
"We have plenty of time to play with the devils!"
"Yes!" Deputy Brigadier Han turned around and was about to ask the correspondent to send an order to Cheng Shi.
The sound of footsteps sounded in the stairwell, and the brigade commander and Deputy Brigadier Han subconsciously put their right hands on their holsters.
"Brigadier, Brigadier."
Hearing Li Yunlong's voice, the two of them relaxed and then put their hands down from their holsters.
Li Yunlong first cautiously poked his head up from the stairwell. After seeing the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander Han here, he walked up to the second floor with a smile.
"Isn't this Captain Li?"
"Why are you here?"
After Deputy Brigadier Han asked the communications troops to send orders to Cheng Shi, he turned around and said with a surprised expression.
Li Yunlong glanced in the direction of the Japanese bunker through the curtains and saw that the Japanese bunker was almost unscathed, but the front of the big bunker was already covered with the corpses of Eighth Route Army soldiers.
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong said: "I heard from Chief of Staff Zhou that the fighting in the city was not going well, so I came here to take a look."
The brigade commander knew that Li Yunlong, a boy with many clever ideas in fighting, suddenly asked, "Li Yunlong, you came at the right time. I'm here to test you. If you were to lead a new regiment to attack this big bunker, what would you choose?"
