"Gather!" A soldier shouted loudly while the artillery battery was being trained.
A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Gen's eyes. When he saw soldiers shouting and coming towards the artillery battery, he immediately reacted. The reason why the soldiers were so anxious was probably because they had found traces of the Japs Murakami Brigade, otherwise they would have
You won't be so nervous.
"Stop training! Gather immediately! Distribute equipment!" Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
The soldiers training in the artillery company stopped training. The veteran artillerymen from the 4th and 716th Regiments also reacted. After talking to Liu Gen, they chose to leave. These veteran artillerymen needed to return to their respective units to deal with the Murakami Brigade.
In such a tough situation, the 4th and 716th Regiments need these veteran artillerymen.
When leaving, these veteran artillerymen were a little reluctant to leave. After training with the artillery company for a few days, they could all feel their own improvement and changes. The things that they had not noticed in the past, as well as the irregularities, were all improved.
Corrections were made. This improvement also gave the veteran artillerymen the confidence to bombard the Japanese more accurately.
However, even if these veteran artillerymen have improved significantly, they know clearly that they cannot compare with Liu Gen. After training with the artillery company, these veteran artillerymen discovered that Liu Gen, the commander of the artillery company, has an unfathomable feeling, at least not
A level they can easily reach now.
As for whether they have any hope of reaching Liu Gen's level, or even surpassing Liu Gen, the veteran artillerymen don't have too many ideas. In daily training, Liu Gen, the commander of the artillery company, works harder than they do, which makes
The veteran artillerymen don't have much hope that they can surpass Liu Gen. Others are better than you and work harder than you. How can you surpass them?
"Company Commander Liu, the regiment commander called you to go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting!" A soldier rushed to the artillery company and informed Liu Gen.
Liu Gen nodded, and after instructing the soldiers of the artillery company to prepare for battle, he quickly walked towards the regiment headquarters with this soldier. Along the way, Liu Gen could see the soldiers of each battalion and company of the independent regiment moving.
He got up, which made him more and more certain that he had discovered the traces of Murakami's brigade.
"Captain, have you found any traces of the Murakami Brigade?" Arriving at the regiment headquarters, Liu Gen found that he was the first to arrive at the regiment headquarters.
Liu Gen could see that Li Yunlong's expression was a little solemn, while Kong Jie and Zhao Gang were studying the march map. The Murakami Brigade was a tough guy, and it would not be easy to take it down easily. Looking at the solemn look on Li Yunlong's face, Liu Gen
Gen realized that something must have changed, otherwise Li Yunlong would not be like this.
"Yes, the soldiers of our independent regiment discovered traces of the Japanese Murakami Brigade near Yunding Mountain. After discovering the Murakami Brigade, in addition to leaving the soldiers to continue monitoring, the soldiers reported to the regiment headquarters."
"According to the observation of the soldiers of our independent regiment, the Japanese Murakami Brigade is not more than 500 people. They have more than 700 people. They have heavy machine guns, 90mm heavy mortars, and infantry cannons." Li Yunlong looked solemn.
, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the Murakami Brigade was not weak, but this equipment was a little too good.
There was obvious surprise on Liu Gen's face. The Murakami brigade actually carried a 90mm heavy mortar. This was something he did not expect. Liu Gen still knew something about the 90mm heavy mortar. The 90mm mortar in the hands of the Japanese
, to be precise, it should be called the Type 97 90mm light mortar. Yes, it is a light mortar.
In the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, the caliber of 90mm was enough to be called a heavy mortar, but in the eyes of the Japanese, it was just a light mortar.
Compared with the Type 92 infantry gun, the Type 97 90mm light mortar weighs only 67 kilograms, making it easy and fast to transfer. Moreover, the performance of the Type 92 infantry gun can be effectively exerted in plain areas, while in mountains, hills and
In cities, the effective range of infantry artillery could not be fully utilized. For this reason, the Japanese began to develop mortars in May 1937 and began to distribute them to the troops in 1938.
Due to the mortar's ballistic curve, small dead zone, fast rate of fire, high power, light weight, small size, easy to activate, simple structure, easy to operate, and low cost, the Japanese have the Type 97 90mm light mortar.
After the shelling, the firepower has been significantly improved. However, due to the interference of the upper levels of the Japanese army, this mortar has not been promoted to all troops. The main troops are still dominated by Type 92 infantry guns and Type 97 infantry guns.
The 90mm light mortar is issued to second-line troops.
The Independent Regiment had fought many battles with the Japs, but this was the first time they encountered a Type 97 90mm light mortar in the hands of the Japs. Liu Gen had some expectations. The caliber of 90mm meant that the power of this mortar was not as powerful as the Japs.
It's not weak. If a 90mm light mortar can be captured, it will be a big supplement to the independent regiment's firepower.
Not long after Liu Gen arrived at the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao and others also came to the regiment headquarters. They wasted a lot of time in gathering soldiers. Zhang Dabiao and the others did not have only one company like Liu Gen. They had many more soldiers than the artillery company.
If there are a lot of them, management will naturally become more cumbersome.
"This is the information reported by the soldiers. Take a look at it. The Japs' Murakami Brigade is really a tough guy." Seeing all the battalion and company cadres of the independent regiment come to the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong said solemnly.
The information was being passed around by Zhang Dabiao and others. Looking at the information displayed on the information, their faces were quite solemn. The Murakami Brigade of more than 500 people was very difficult to deal with. Now the strength of the Murakami Brigade has actually increased.
Could it be said that the Murakami team realized something?
"Captain, are these Japs aware of the danger?" Zhang Dabiao asked.
Li Yunlong shook his head, "Judging from the behavior of the Japs, it's not true. Realizing the danger, the Murakami Brigade should have gone directly to the nearest Japs stronghold. But the Murakami Brigade did not do this. Instead, it kept wandering outside, acting unscrupulously."
"Could these be done by the Japanese to confuse us? Commander, are there any movements from the Japanese in Jing'an, Gujiao, Wenshui and other places?" Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan asked solemnly.
"No, we have contacted the headquarters. From the information given by the headquarters, there is no movement from the Japs in these areas." Zhao Gang raised his head and said solemnly.
Li Yunlong nodded solemnly, "The political commissar is right. There are no unusual movements from the Japs in these areas, and there are no signs of mobilizing troops."
"Old Li, according to me, there is no need to consider these things at all. The only remaining Japs in this area are the Murakami Brigade, and they are a lone army. Even if the Japs are aware of it, there are still many places like Jing'an, Gujiao, Wenshui and Mi
The distance between the valley towns is such that it will take them two or three days to arrive."
"Not to mention, the headquarters will definitely choose to send troops to block the Japanese reinforcements! I think, just fight the devil, as long as we kill this Japanese army in a short time, then there will be no problems!" Kong Jie
Suddenly he spoke.
Kong Jie was a little excited, with a blazing fighting spirit in his eyes. He wanted to kill this Japanese army, but he wanted to see how powerful the ace of Japan's North China Expeditionary Force was! Tiger team? If you kill it, you will die as a tiger!
