Ding Wei and Kong Jie stayed one night in Zhaojiayu.
Early the next morning, Li Yunlong woke up Ding Wei and Kong Jie and asked them to exercise with him and the Sword Squadron.
Although Ding Wei and Kong Jie also exercise regularly.
However, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were exhausted after running ten kilometers of cross-country with heavy loads.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie seriously suspected that Li Yunlong deliberately called them here to make them suffer.
However, Xinyi Tuan's breakfast was quite sumptuous, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie didn't say much.
Both of them secretly sighed that Li Yunlong had made great progress. Not only did he study hard, he even trained with the Sword Squadron.
Previously, among the three, Li Yunlong was slightly inferior in terms of boxing and kicking skills.
But Ding Wei and Kong Jie estimate that the current Li Yunlong can beat them both.
In terms of tactical command ability, Li Yunlong is now far ahead of Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
In terms of ability to lead troops, the gap between Ding Kong and Li Yunlong is similar to that between Kong Jie's independent regiment and Li Yunlong's new regiment.
But now, Li Yunlong has almost 50,000 men under his command, and the new regiment's combat effectiveness is extremely powerful.
If it weren't for Li Yunlong's help, the current Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment would have more than 2,000 men, and their equipment would be even worse.
In the eyes of Ding Wei and Kong Jie, after using equipment from major foreign manufacturers, the weapons of Little Japan are all garbage and are all used for militia training. The main equipment is all American equipment.
"Lao Li, where are your weapons of mass destruction?"
"Isn't it time to show it off?"
After breakfast and a short rest, Kong Jie asked Li Yunlong.
Ding Wei also looked like he couldn't wait to see weapons of mass destruction.
Li Yunlong looked at the watch on his hand and said to the correspondent Chen Baoshan on the side: "Xiao Chen, immediately send an order to the commander of the 150mm heavy artillery battalion and ask him to pull out the rocket launcher according to the original plan."
"yes!"
Chen Baoshan picked up the walkie-talkie and called:
"This is the regiment headquarters. Call the 150th Heavy Artillery Battalion. Call the 150th Heavy Artillery Battalion."
"The regimental commander orders your troops to pull out the rocket launchers."
At present, the rocket launcher battalion of the new regiment has not yet been built. All 24 Katyusha rocket launchers are placed in the cave in the mountain behind Zhaojiayu Village.
The mountain behind Zhaojiayu has been hollowed out by the engineering battalion of the New Regiment and built into a huge fortress that can withstand aerial bombings.
36 150mm howitzers, 24 203mm heavy howitzers, and 24 newly-stocked Katyusha rocket launchers were all placed in the Zhaojiayu Fortress.
"Let's go to the entrance of the village."
Li Yunlong took Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Wang Dehou, Xing Zhiguo, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others to the entrance of Zhaojiayu Village.
At the entrance of the village, there were already 4 jeeps and 6 Jiefang trucks waiting.
On six Jiefang trucks stood soldiers from the new regiment's guard battalion, all wearing steel helmets and carrying submachine guns on their chests, loaded with live ammunition.
The guard battalion of the New Regiment is a regular establishment, with only more than 400 people. It is not equipped with mountain artillery, but they are all elites of the New Regiment, and the equipment is very luxurious.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other in confusion. What on earth was Lao Li doing in such a grand ceremony?
"Old Li." Kong Jie asked, "Where are we going?"
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong said: "You will know later."
At this moment, the roar of a car engine sounded from behind, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie turned to look.
I saw six Jiefang trucks driving down the road in the back mountain of Zhaojiayu, but the bed of the front Jiefang truck was covered by a military green tarpaulin.
The last two Jiefang trucks were filled with artillery from the new regiment.
When six Jiefang trucks approached, Li Yunlong smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Get in!"
Everyone jumped on the jeep one after another, and the jeep started driving towards Dagu Town.
After passing through Dagu Town, the motorcade continued to drive towards Heyuan County without stopping. After passing through Heyuan County, the motorcade did not stop and continued towards Datong.
About three hours later, the convoy finally arrived at its destination.
"get off!"
When the convoy stopped, Li Yunlong jumped out of the truck first, followed closely by everyone.
Li Yunlong shouted to the back: "Yao Shangwen, show our guy."
"Yes!" Yao Shangwen straightened up, "Captain!"
Then Yao Shangwen turned to the artillerymen and ordered: "Get out of the car and pull down the tarpaulin. Move quickly!"
The artillery soldiers jumped off the Jiefang truck one after another, and then removed the tarpaulin covering the truck bed. Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked over quickly and couldn't help but look at each other.
A steel frame is installed on the truck. Is this Lao Li’s weapon of mass destruction?
That's it?
Kong Jie and Ding Wei were immediately disappointed. This did not look like a weapon of mass destruction.
But Kong Jie and Ding Wei knew that Li Yunlong would not trick him into making a trip to the new group, so they patiently watched from the sidelines.
At this time, the artillerymen lifted the rectangular ammunition box from the truck and began to load rockets into Katyusha.
If an infantryman who has never been exposed to artillery learns to use the Katyusha rocket launcher, it will take at least several months of training to become proficient in using it.
The elite artillerymen specially selected by the new regiment only need one month of training to operate Katyusha rocket launchers in combat.
At this time, the New Regiment had not yet established a rocket artillery battalion, so the artillery of the New Regiment would not use Katyusha rocket launchers.
but.
When Chen Feng was delivering the goods, he sent four artillery consultants to Li Yunlong to teach the New Regiment how to use Katyusha rocket launchers.
This time, Boss Chen's artillery consultant also came.
This test firing of the Katyusha rocket launcher was not only for Li Yunlong to see its power, but also for the artillery consultant to provide practical teaching to the artillerymen of the new regiment.
The artillerymen here today are all selected elite artillerymen. After they learn how to use and operate the rocket launchers, they will serve as company commanders and platoon commanders of the rocket launcher battalion.
"Let's go to the front."
Li Yunlong got on the jeep again, and Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others followed him.
The reloading time of the Katyusha is 10 minutes. Since the artilleryman has not touched the rocket launcher many times and is therefore not proficient, it will take longer.
The guard camp truck followed the jeep and continued to move forward.
Not long after, Li Yunlong led everyone to a hill. Everyone raised their telescopes and looked into the distance.
About 800 meters ahead of the road, there is a medium-sized Japs stronghold with many Japs and puppet troops stationed inside.
Li Changshun, captain of the fourth squadron of the Sharp Sword Squadron, came up from behind and reported to Li Yunlong: "Captain, at the Shimonoseki stronghold ahead, the Japs in the stronghold are from the 1st Division. There is a squadron and a company.
puppet army."
The original Shimonoseki stronghold has been destroyed by the new group.
However, after the main force of the 1st Division was eliminated, they did not dare to invade northwest Shanxi again, but the commander of the 1st Division, Mitsuo Nakazawa, was afraid that the new regiment would raid Datong.
Therefore, some defensive and warning strongholds were ordered to be built on the highway from northwestern Shanxi to Datong.
These strongholds are all brick and stone turrets and brick and stone bunkers, and they will certainly not be able to stop the new regiment's attack.
However, the stronghold is equipped with a radio. Once a large-scale force of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is discovered, the radio will be used to immediately report to the division headquarters.
If the new regiment wants to attack Datong, it must carry heavy weapons such as heavy artillery, and the cars must move along the highway.
The Japanese stronghold looks intimidating, but it actually serves as a security guard for the 1st Division.
The day the Japs of the First Division began to rebuild the Maguan stronghold, Li Yunlong received the information, but Li Yunlong didn't pay that much attention.
After all, it is just a medium-sized stronghold, and a new group can destroy it at any time.
This time I happened to test the Katyusha rocket launcher on the Japanese and puppet troops of the 1st Division in the Maguan stronghold.
"Next, let's take a look at the power of the Katyusha rocket launcher."
Li Yunlong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at the people around him. Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou, Xing Zhiguo, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao and others all had uncontrollable expectations on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong said again: "Xiao Chen, contact the rocket launcher positions at the rear and ask if the rocket launchers are ready?"
"yes!"
Correspondent Chen Baoshan quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling.
The rocket artillery position is about five kilometers away from the Japanese stronghold, separated by hills and woods, but the artillery observers have already communicated the distance and orientation to the rear artillery position.
After a while, Chen Baoshan reported to Li Yunlong: "Reporting to the head of the regiment, the rocket launcher has been prepared and can be launched at any time."
Li Yunlong's eyes were calm, but his voice was full of anger: "Give me the order to fire immediately!"
"Yes!" Chen Baoshan picked up the walkie-talkie, "The regiment commander ordered to fire immediately!"
…
at the same time.
On the rocket launcher position at the rear, four Katyusha rocket launchers were lined up, with their muzzles pointing in the direction of the Shimonoseki stronghold.
Artillery battalion commander Yao Shangwen held the walkie-talkie tube in his left hand and a mini flag in his right hand.
Upon hearing the order to fire from the walkie-talkie, Yao Shangwen suddenly put down the flag in his hand.
Almost at the same time, the four artillerymen in the cab who were responsible for firing pressed the launch button of the Katyusha rocket launcher.
Rest, rest, rest, rest…
As the launch button is pressed, the fuel of the rocket burns instantly, and flames suddenly spurt out from the tail of the rocket. The rocket is pushed out of the guide rail under the reaction force, and draws beautiful arcs visible to the naked eye in the sky.
In only about 10 seconds, 64 rockets rose into the sky one after another and flew towards the Shimonoseki stronghold.
…
"Commander, look, the Japs are dancing in the stronghold."
On the top of the mountain, Zhang Dabiao pointed to the Maguan stronghold and said to Li Yunlong.
In an open space next to the Japanese and puppet barracks in the stronghold, the Japanese sat around singing and dancing, with more than a dozen Type 38 rifles mounted beside them, unaware that the danger was coming.
"Since the Japanese like dancing so much." Li Yunlong snorted coldly, "It's a good time to send the Japanese to dance in the underworld."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of rapid "xixixixixi" sounds sounded in the sky, and everyone quickly looked up.
Just in time, I saw rockets flying overhead with a trail of flames, hitting the Maguan stronghold in the distance.
The rockets quickly landed and burst into huge fireballs, turning the Shimonoseki stronghold into a sea of fire in almost a few seconds.
Boom boom boom!
After a few seconds, the mountains collapsed, the ground shook, and a thunderous explosion was heard.
Most of the rockets accurately fell into the Shimonoseki stronghold, and huge balls of fire surged up, then turned into huge smoke. The masonry and gun tower fortifications in the stronghold were all shattered in the explosion.
These are the bunkers, gun towers and barracks distributed throughout the Maguan stronghold, which were directly reduced to pieces by the shelling!
Everyone hurriedly raised their binoculars to look, and saw that the Shimonoseki stronghold no longer existed, leaving only huge craters.
Not to mention the Japanese and puppet soldiers, not even a living creature was seen.
this……
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but take a breath and opened their eyes wide.
