"Genzi, when the artillery of the Japanese infantry brigade is still there, your artillery company will directly kill the Japanese artillery. As for the artillery fire coverage, we can't do it again." When they were about to arrive at the new regiment, Li Yunlong confessed to Liu Gen.
It's not that Li Yunlong is stingy, the Independent Regiment doesn't have many artillery shells to begin with. Even if an infantry brigade that killed the Japanese captured some artillery shells again, it was not enough. Besides, there will definitely be more battles in the Independent Regiment in the future.
How can it be possible to use up all the artillery shells at once? Is this war still going to be fought?
"Okay." Liu Gen nodded without saying anything.
Liu Gen understood what Li Yunlong meant, and also knew that there were not many artillery shells in the artillery battery. If not, Li Yunlong would have directly asked the artillery battery to cover it with artillery fire again. For the current Eighth Route Army, sometimes artillery shells are more important than people. Even if
Li Yunlong knew that having strong enough artillery fire could greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers, but it must also be based on the independent regiment having enough artillery shells.
There are not enough cannon shells, and it is not feasible to think of using them sparingly and loading them with large sums.
"Commander, let me lead the soldiers to charge?" Zhang Dabiao said, who had never spoken.
Li Yunlong glared at Zhang Dabiao fiercely, "Damn it, you just stayed behind when you were injured, and you still want to lead the soldiers to charge? How many Japanese can you kill in your state? You want to end yourself early.
life?"
"Zhang Dabiao! I'm telling you, you still have a lot of battles to fight in the future. If you don't take the lead in the charge this time, you will kill more Japanese in the future!"
Zhang Dabiao lowered his head and clenched his fists, knowing that with Li Yunlong's current attitude, he would not let him lead the soldiers to charge. There was no way, who made Zhang Dabiao injured?
"Genzi, have you found the Japanese artillery?" Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen and asked.
Liu Gen nodded. Through simple observation, he found the artillery of the Japanese infantry brigade. The Japanese artillery never ceased fire and did not conceal its position at all. Under this condition, Liu Gen wanted to find the Japanese artillery. Naturally,
Simple.
"Okay! I knew you could do it! First, take the soldiers of the artillery company to kill the Japanese artillery, and then cover the charge of the soldiers of our independent regiment. You don't need to intervene in the rest." Li Yunlong told Liu Gen.
Liu Gen nodded, "Commander, you'd better wait until our artillery company kills the Japanese artillery before attacking."
"Don't worry, I know better than you, hurry up and kill the Japanese artillery." Li Yunlong said directly.
Liu Gen smiled bitterly. He had forgotten that Li Yunlong was more experienced than himself and could survive so many battles. How could Li Yunlong be simple? He commanded the artillery company soldiers to quickly put down the three mortars. The soldiers quickly
Checking.
"The inspection is complete, there is no problem." A minute later, the soldiers inspecting the mortars said.
Liu Gen nodded and led the soldiers to adjust the angle of the mortar before preparing to bombard the Japanese artillery. Facing the Japanese artillery, Liu Gen did not dare to look down upon it and chose to adjust the angle of the mortar himself.
Able to accurately hit Japanese artillery.
Otherwise, once the Japanese artillery survives and launches a counterattack against the artillery company, the artillery company soldiers will easily suffer casualties. In Liu Gen's view, as the commander of the artillery company, since these soldiers followed him to the battlefield, then
He would try his best to ensure that he brought the soldiers back intact.
"Ready! Release!"
The shells flew out quickly, and the soldiers did not stop. After taking the shells from the soldiers behind them, they put the shells into the barrel again. In order to ensure that the Japanese artillery could be killed, Liu Gen ordered the soldiers to use a rapid five-shot
Method. Artillery shells kept flying out and pouring around the Japanese artillery squad. The Japanese beside the mortars had no time to escape and were blown away by the shells.
Ding Wei, who was directing the new regiment to fight on the front line, saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and he knew that this was a good opportunity for the new regiment to attack!
"Comrades, charge!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Wei rushed forward with a new group of soldiers.
The sound of the Charge sounded, and the Japs in the destroyed artillery unit were a little confused, but they soon calmed down again. Under the command of the Japs captain, the Japs' firepower net was deployed again, and in conjunction with the grenades, they fought back
This time the new regiment charged.
"Extend the artillery fire to cover the soldiers' charge!" After destroying the Japanese artillery, Liu Gen gave the order again.
Adjusting the angle of the mortar, the shells flew out again. This time, the number of shells flying was not that large, but it was enough to destroy the Japanese firepower points blocking the independent regiment.
Li Yunlong, who had been paying attention to the artillery company, couldn't understand what he saw when he saw such a scene, and decisively led the soldiers to rush towards the Japanese position. Ding Wei, who was in the other direction, heard the charge horn of the independent regiment, and
Knowing that the support from the Independent Regiment had arrived, he once again led his soldiers to charge against the Japanese! The combat effectiveness of the New Regiment was not weak to begin with, but now with the support of the Independent Regiment, the soldiers of the New Regiment charged even more fiercely.
Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and mortars opened fire at the same time. This time Ding Wei also defeated the New Regiment. He did not believe that the infantry brigade could not capture this Japanese army! Ding Wei knew that the independent regiment could come to support, so it would be inevitable
He had eliminated the Japanese infantry brigade. He did not want to be weaker than Li Yunlong and could not destroy the Japanese infantry brigade. Could it be that he, Ding Wei, was weaker than Li Yunlong?
Facing the front and back attacks of the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment, as well as the obviously extending artillery fire, the Japanese Captain realized that if he did not retreat, his entire brigade would be left here. Realizing this, the Japanese Captain decisively issued the order
After giving the order to retreat, leaving two squads of Japs to resist the attacks of the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment, they retreated decisively with the other two squads of Japs.
In order to allow the two squads to resist the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment for a period of time, the Japanese Captain decisively kept all the heavy and light machine guns in the brigade, as well as the remaining grenade launchers. In the opinion of the Japanese Captain, he would do this
If multiple weapons and ammunition were left behind, the Eighth Route Army would probably not choose to pursue them again. As for the ammunition left behind, the Japanese captain had no choice. He wanted to escape with two teams. Carrying ammunition would slow down the pace, and it would also cause trouble.
The Eighth Route Army continued to pursue him. These Eighth Route Army troops were too poor and would not let them go easily if they escaped with ammunition.
The remaining two squads of Japanese soldiers resisted desperately, and the concentrated heavy and light machine guns made the firepower of these two squads extremely fierce. Liu Gen noticed the abnormality of these two squads of Japanese soldiers and decisively led the artillery battery to confront them.
The Japs from these two squads launched an artillery attack and destroyed the heavy machine guns of the two squads before the soldiers were able to rush forward and kill these Japs.
But even with the assistance of the artillery company, it still took the soldiers nearly twenty minutes to capture the two teams of Japs. As for the escaped Japs captain, they were unable to pursue them.
