It turned out that Li Yunlong was thinking about the captured artillery and tanks.
The seventeen cannons were captured from the Japanese artillery regiment. Anda 23 deployed more than thirty heavy cannons in the city, preparing to use them against Eighth Route Army tanks. Unexpectedly, a battery of tanks rushed directly into the artillery position and crushed them.
A dozen doors were damaged, and seventeen were left.
Li Yunlong also got angry at the tank over this matter: "I said you guys, all of your eyes have grown on the back of your head! When you see that the Japanese are dying, you won't crush a few more doors? Aren't all the things you captured belong to you?"
Look at these..."
As he spoke, he kicked the crushed cannon beside him and cursed: "It's better now, it's just a pile of scrap metal!"
The first company commander replied aggrievedly: "Commander, it was at night, it was so dark, we couldn't see anything. Besides, if we didn't crush a few more doors, the Japanese wouldn't have abandoned their artillery and fled."
…”
"Aren't we still following the infantry?" Li Yunlong replied: "The Japanese are artillery, who are our opponents? Look, you are just fighting blindly!"
The first company commander did not dare to speak after being told this by Li Yunlong.
Because what Li Yunlong said does make some sense. Tanks are used to cover infantry to break through the Japanese defense line. After the troops rush into the Japanese artillery positions, it is no problem to leave the rest to the following infantry... Artillery generally lacks combat experience and training.
, they didn't even have rifles.
This is not to say that the Japs do not have enough guns. Although the Japs are extremely short of resources, they have caught up with the tail end of industrialization and become one of the industrial countries of this era. There is still no shortage of rifles.
The problem is that the probability of artillery, especially artillery with a range of tens of kilometers, being able to use rifles is too small. Moreover, the rifle is too long and heavy, and it is not light to carry ammunition. There will be a lot of trouble when operating the artillery.
To solve this problem, Yingjiang developed the carbine, while most of the Japanese soldiers were equipped with pistols, and only a few communications soldiers and logistics personnel who did not operate artillery were equipped with rifles.
In addition, although the artillery has undergone necessary combat training, it has basically no combat experience. Therefore, once it is approached by enemy infantry on the battlefield, it is basically a reduced-dimensional strike without the ability to fight back.
Therefore, what Li Yunlong said is indeed true.
It's just that his request was a bit harsh... There was no writing on the foreheads of the Japanese artillerymen, nor did they draw a line to say that from here onwards was the artillery position. The dark tank soldiers could stop and fight wherever they wanted.
The five tanks were the tank squadron that the Japanese were trapped in Yuncheng and could not get out of. There were originally more than a dozen tanks, but they were either blown up by the Eighth Route Army soldiers or chose to self-destruct... grenades were set off in the tank compartments, and some even
Fire inside the tank compartment.
In the end, only five were seized, two Type 97s and three Type 95s.
Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang: "I tell you, Lao Zhao, our tank unit lost a total of seven tanks during its operation to transport the city. This loss is ours, but the captured tanks were given to others. If this continues, our tank unit will not be able to survive."
Sooner or later they will all be used up? I think our tank unit should be disbanded as soon as possible!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Gang replied: "Are you threatening me? Besides, what's the use of telling me this? These must be assigned by superiors! I can't make the decision!"
When Li Yunlong heard what Zhao Gang said, he immediately smiled and said, "Old Zhao, I know you can't make the decision, but you can make a report! The report you make can be seen by your superiors"
Go in, you just have to say something nice!"
It turned out that Li Yunlong knew that his reputation was not very good. In the past, he was very strict with his superiors when they asked for equipment. He had to grind it several times no matter what, and even had to beg to death for a few rounds of bullets. Now he said
Everything is difficult to say.
For this reason, Li Yunlong still felt a little regretful. He compared the current situation and said "fuck": "I used to lose my reputation just for a few bullets and a few grenades. I should have known better than to waste that energy. Now I have to rely on it."
I’ll get all the damn money back!”
But it was useless to regret it. At this time, the independent regiment stationed in Yuncheng itself "took advantage", and it was far away from Dahuai Village, so it was impossible to rely on it.
After much thought, Li Yunlong fixed his eyes on Zhao Gang's report.
Li Yunlong knew that Zhao Gang usually reported everything truthfully, and his superiors hated him the most. Now if he cried about being poor or something, his superiors would probably agree to leave these equipment to the independent regiment.
Only then did Zhao Gang realize that Li Yunlong was setting a trap for him, and he was both angry and funny.
But after thinking about it, I think what Li Yunlong said makes sense, not to mention that garrisoning Yuncheng also requires artillery and tanks. Coupled with Yuncheng's strategic position...it is appropriate to tilt the equipment.
Thinking about it, Zhao Gang nodded and said: "Okay, I'll try, but let me make it clear. Reports are reports, and things may not work out. In addition, no matter what decision the superiors make, you must obey it when the time comes.
No cheating!"
Li Yunlong slapped his chest loudly: "That's it. As long as you write in a good way, I, Li Yunlong, will recognize whatever the result will be!"
Although I said this, I thought in my heart: If this nerd can do what he says, is it still called "cheating"? It's okay if I give this batch of equipment. If I don't give it to him, I will have to rush to Dahuai Village.
It's not okay to make him feel uncomfortable!
At this time, the communications soldier came in and reported: "Captain, Commander Chu Yunfei and Commander Chu want to see you!"
When Li Yunlong heard that it was Chu Yunfei, he secretly said, "It's broken, we are coming to attack Yuncheng!".
This guy came so fast, it only lasted two days. I was busy taking care of Yuncheng and hadn't figured out how to deal with it? He was caught off guard!
He thought so in his heart, but he was not slow in his movements. He stood up from the chair and went downstairs to walk quickly out the door. When he saw Chu Yunfei waiting outside the door, he smiled exaggeratedly and said: "Oh, Chu
Brother! What brought you here? Look, we have just beaten away the Japanese and made a mess. I also said that after a while, I will send someone to invite you to come and have a look! Please come inside, please come inside
!”
Chu Yunfei cupped his hands towards Li Yunlong and said as he walked: "Brother Yunlong, Chu is here to express his gratitude to Brother Yunlong!"
"Thank you?" Li Yunlong smiled "hehe": "What are you talking about? I, Li Yunlong, have no merit and no reward. I don't dare to take it seriously!"
Chu Yunfei looked at the headquarters that was once the granary of the Jinsui Army, and said with emotion: "Brother Yunlong is too modest. Your department has done a great job in helping me retake Yuncheng this time! The commander also said that he would commend Yunlong.
Where’s my brother!”
This was the countermeasure that Chu Yunfei had thought of on the way.
He believed that this was the only way to return to Yuncheng, and hoped that the Eighth Route Army would hand over Yuncheng to the Shanxi-Sui Army again in order to take into account the overall situation of cooperative resistance.
