The Japs do not have many troops stationed in Jing'an County. In addition, the Murakami Brigade originally stationed in Jing'an County has left Jing'an, which means that the number of troops stationed in Jing'an County will not exceed one squadron. It is even said that in Jing'an County, the Japs' troops
Most likely it will be a small team.
Generally speaking, the Japs' defensive strength in the county town is only one squadron. The Japs' combat effectiveness is enough to delay the arrival of reinforcements from other areas.
It is naturally impossible for a small team of Japs to control Jing'an County, but don't forget that the Japs also have the assistance of the puppet army. The number of puppet troops is sufficient, and they can still protect the county.
After a day and night of rapid march, the independent regiment successfully arrived at the outskirts of Jing'an County. Through the telescope, you can see the plaster flag hanging on the wall of the county town from a distance. The artillery company has been following behind the large army. When Liu Gen led the
When the artillery company arrived, Li Yunlong had already sent Zhang Dabiao to lead the soldiers to investigate the specific situation in Jing'an County.
When Liu Gen received the notice and came to the regiment headquarters, he could see the obvious excitement on the faces of Li Yunlong and others. The most excited one should be Kong Jie, the deputy commander. Due to the problem of the Yangcun encounter,
Kong Jie has always wanted to find opportunities to make meritorious deeds and wash away the shame of the Independent Group.
After Zhang Dabiao led the soldiers to investigate, it was determined that there was only one Japanese team left in Jing'an County. The puppet troops were responsible for maintaining law and order on weekdays. There were many puppet troops in Jing'an County, about five to six hundred
people.
In the eyes of Li Yunlong and others, this kind of force is nothing more than a mouthful of fat. Kong Jie is even more so. The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is too weak, and he does not like it. As long as the Japanese squad in the county is eliminated,
If you successfully capture a county town, both in terms of capture and military achievements, it will naturally be quite good. The humiliation suffered by the independent regiment in the Yangcun encounter will also be wiped out.
Listening to the battle plan prepared by Li Yunlong, Liu Gen was a little helpless. His artillery battery did not have much room to play in this battle. Who made the artillery battery full of mortars? As for the infantry artillery, there was no choice.
In terms of carrying power, the 81mm mortar is almost the same as the Type 92 infantry gun. In terms of movement, the 81mm mortar is undoubtedly easier, even if the Type 92 infantry gun can be pushed forward.
"Genzi, the mission of your artillery company is very simple, that is, when the soldiers attack, shell the defending enemy, suppress the enemy's firepower, and cover the soldiers' attack. The artillery company shouldn't have much problem with this matter, right?"
After assigning tasks to Zhang Dabiao and others, Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen.
Liu Gen nodded vigorously, "Commander, don't worry, our artillery company will not have any problems with such a simple combat mission."
"That's good! Save me some shells. I wonder if they can be captured in the county! Damn it, don't use up the mortar shells. Your artillery company will be useless by then.
"Li Yunlong couldn't help but explain.
Half of the soldiers from the artillery company were sent to the brigade headquarters. Li Yunlong got a lot of good things from the brigade commander, but there were no artillery shells. The artillery shells at the brigade headquarters were not enough, so how could they give Li Yunlong some of them? The independent regiment
The shells were not captured and could not be replenished, so naturally there were not many shells left.
Once the artillery company runs out of shells, the 81mm mortar in hand will have no effect and will become a useless piece of iron! Li Yunlong knows Liu Gen’s temperament, and if he doesn’t explain it to Liu Gen, Liu Gen might
If you use up the cannonballs directly, you will be in trouble!
"Captain, don't worry, I know that I will save the soldiers of the artillery company some time." Liu Gen said solemnly.
Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, and after giving his instructions again, ordered Liu Gen and others to prepare. After a day's rest, they would launch an attack on Jing'an County in the evening.
Although Li Yunlong wanted to launch a direct attack on Jing'an County, he had no choice but to do so after a day and night of forced marching. The soldiers were very exhausted and their bodies were quite exhausted. Attacking Jing'an County in the condition of the independent regiment soldiers was completely impossible.
Li Yunlong would not do such a thing when he was joking with the lives of the soldiers.
Returning to the artillery company, after telling the soldiers about the combat mission of the artillery connection, Liu Gen could see that many soldiers looked very excited. Obviously they all wanted to fight the Japanese. Some recruits who joined the artillery company wanted to
To enjoy the feeling of live ammunition bombardment, the soldiers were really looking forward to it.
After eating dry food and watching the soldiers fall asleep, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. When he got up, Liu Gen rubbed his head. After a day and night of rapid marching, he was also quite tired. He did not choose to go to sleep directly.
Wandering around, keeping alert.
Li Yunlong arranged for the soldiers to carry out security missions, but the soldiers were very tired. No one could guarantee that these soldiers would have problems during the security. It was Liu Gen who thought of this and chose to wander around the area where the artillery company was located to avoid
Any unexpected situation occurs.
While wandering around, Liu Gen had been thinking about the situation in Jing'an County. With the situation of the independent regiment and Li Yunlong's relevant arrangements, it would not be too difficult to capture Jing'an County. He even said that as long as the battle plan went smoothly,
If all the Japs in Jing'an County are killed, most of the puppet troops will lose their fighting spirit and will not have the courage to continue fighting the Eighth Route Army.
When the puppet army fought with the Eighth Route Army, there were Japanese soldiers supervising the battle from behind. As long as the Japanese soldiers found anything wrong at all, they would choose to shoot without hesitation. It is precisely because of this that the puppet army would choose to fight with the Eighth Route Army, otherwise
If so, when the puppet troops encounter the Eighth Route Army, they may be more likely to escape.
With the strength of the Japs in Jing'an County, facing the attack of the Independent Regiment, if they want to successfully defend, they can only rely on the power of the puppet army. Thinking of those who chose to become puppet soldiers, Liu Gen felt a little sad. He didn't know those people.
What do you think? If you become a puppet soldier, you will not gain trust from the Japanese. In battle, you will become cannon fodder at the forefront. Is this kind of life what they want?
Shaking his head, Liu Gen no longer thought about this matter. When the soldiers woke up, he fell into a deep sleep and restored his own state.
On the night of June 15th, Liu Gen led the artillery battery and followed Li Yunlong's regiment towards Jing'an County. Zhang Dabiao had already sneaked into Jing'an County with a dozen elite soldiers, looking for opportunities to attack as many as possible.
To kill the Japanese and weaken their defensive strength. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of Zhang Dabiao and others, Li Yunlong also specially granted half of the light machine guns in the independent regiment to Zhang Dabiao and others.
Following Li Yunlong and others, Liu Gen could see Ding Wei's dissatisfaction. He also wanted to sneak into the Japs' county in advance like Zhang Dabiao. Even if it was dangerous, he was very willing to kill the Japs. Unfortunately,
Li Yunlong did not give him such a combat mission, so he could only attack with the large army.
In order to capture Jing'an County, which was defended by the Japanese, as quickly as possible, Li Yunlong chose to place all the troops of the regiment in the west of Jing'an County to launch an attack. There was no way, the strength of the independent regiment was too small. If Li Yunlong was given the strength of a division,
He would definitely dare to fight openly and openly with the devils in the county!
"Lao Kong, please stop complaining. I still want to rush to Guizi County and fight hard! Look, didn't I go too?" Li Yunlong said helplessly as he looked at Kong Jie beside him.
.
Kong Jie's eyes widened and he said angrily: "If political commissar Zhao hadn't been holding you back, how could you not have gone? Damn it, besides, it's not like you, Li Yunlong, don't know about my situation, Kong Jie? Why don't you win a battle for the brigade?"
Look, I can't hold my head up in front of the brigade commander!"
"It's okay now. Even if you, Li Yunlong, don't leave such a good thing as sneaking into the county town to kill the Japanese to me, Kong Jie, damn, you are really my good comrade-in-arms!"
"Kong Er, you're still working hard! I am the leader of the independent group, and it was my decision to let Zhang Dabiao take the soldiers there! Besides, I sent you there for your own good, isn't it?
There are so many Japanese and puppet troops there, it’s really too dangerous. Even if you are very powerful, your body can’t stop bullets. I can’t bear to let your brother die in battle!” Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei next to him with a sigh on his face.
said.
Who knew that Ding Wei's expression had not changed much at all? He and Li Yunlong had not known each other for a day or two, so how could he not know Li Yunlong's character? Damn it, he just wanted to see that Jing'an County could be easily captured to prevent himself from being separated.
Was part of it seized? Damn it, this old Li loves to eat alone!
"Genzi, how are your artillery batteries prepared? Are you sure you can suppress the enemy's defensive firepower?" Li Yunlong asked in a deep voice, looking at Liu Gen who was following behind silently.
Liu Gen nodded, "Commander, don't worry. As long as the Japanese don't leave too many artillery pieces for defense in Jing'an County, there won't be any big problems."
"It's just the situation of our artillery company. As you know, I may need brothers from other battalions to rush in first to attract a wave of Japanese artillery fire so that I can find the location of the Japanese artillery!"
Li Yunlong nodded, "That's natural! If you find the Japanese artillery, you must be the first to kill it. If something goes wrong, I will blame you!"
Facing the Japanese artillery, Li Yunlong did not dare to look down upon him. The veterans who had been trained for a period of time in the artillery company were asked to leave by the brigade headquarters, which weakened the combat effectiveness of the artillery company a lot. Under this situation, he chose to let the artillery
Even taking the initiative to open fire and attack is undoubtedly a very stupid thing!
At one o'clock in the morning, after Li Yunlong roared and ordered the soldiers to attack, the charge horn was blown directly. The soldiers of the independent regiment rushed towards Jing'an County like a tide, hoping to capture Jing'an County in one fell swoop! The soldiers were very fast.
, heavy machine guns and light machine guns are roaring, suppressing all the puppet troops that emerge!
"Baga! Baga! Shoot! Shoot!" On the city wall, the Japanese squad leader cursed loudly.
"Whoosh"
A stray bullet passed by the Japs squad leader's ear, causing him to feel an obvious burning sensation. In an instant, the Japs squad leader bent down and did not dare to raise his head again.
