"Captain, are there many casualties among our regiment's soldiers?" Liu Gen asked, following Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong nodded with a wry smile, with a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth, "These Japs attacked with great intensity, and the casualties among our regiment's soldiers were not small. If it weren't for Cheng Xiazi's 772 regiment, we wouldn't have been able to hold on for too long.
.Even if the 772nd Regiment takes the lead, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on for too long. I can only hope that the main force can resolve the battle as soon as possible."
"The Japs are not weak in fighting, and they are quite crazy when fighting. They must have received a death order and must reach Liao County in the shortest possible time!"
Facing Liu Gen's inquiry, Li Yunlong had no intention of hiding the true situation. He knew the situation of the independent regiment. If he really wanted to continue fighting the attacking Japanese, he would not be able to hold on for too long. With this artillery company around,
If so, they could hold on for a while longer, but now all the mortars of the Independent Regiment have been destroyed, and the artillery company has no combat effectiveness at all. This makes it undoubtedly much more difficult for the Independent Regiment to resist the Japanese attack.
"Commander, let's use the mortars of our regiment together and let the soldiers of the artillery company control them. It may have some effect." Liu Gen looked at Li Yunlong and said.
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and a trace of joy appeared on his face after a moment. There were still several mortars in the independent regiment, and each battalion had two mortars. If they were concentrated and handed over to the artillery company, they would undoubtedly make the artillery company more capable.
The combat effectiveness of the artillery company has recovered a lot. It’s just that the mortars of each battalion cannot be compared with the 81mm mortars of the previous artillery company. It will have some impact if the artillery company soldiers actually use it. But no matter how much impact it has, the artillery company soldiers will
Under their control, it will definitely play a greater role.
"Okay! Then I will gather all the mortars of the entire regiment for your artillery battery. I hope you won't let me down!" Li Yunlong said excitedly.
Liu Gen laughed, "Captain, when have I, Liu Gen, ever let you down?"
"By the way, Captain, what should we do with the wreckage of the fighter plane we brought back?"
Li Yunlong looked at the wreckage of the fighter plane next to Liu Gen and others, and felt a little excited. Who would have thought that Li Yunlong's artillery could shoot down a Japanese fighter plane? His eyes fell on Liu Gen. Li Yunlong was sure of Liu Gen's achievements this time.
, will definitely be known to all the soldiers in the army. Successfully shooting down a Japanese fighter plane with mortars is a first-rate achievement! At least Li Yunlong has not heard of anyone else who has successfully shot down a Japanese fighter plane. If Liu
It would be better if the method of laying down fighter planes could be extended to the whole army.
However, before asking Liu Gen, Li Yunlong could guess that this method was probably not suitable for promotion. It was really so easy to defeat the Japanese fighter planes, and it would not be the turn of a young man like Liu Gen to defeat the Japanese fighter planes. But in any case, we have
Liu Gen's method of taking down the Japanese fighter jets will at least give the soldiers a direction to work towards and work hard to take down the Japanese fighter jets!
"I have contacted the division headquarters, and a small force will soon come to escort the wreckage of these fighter planes to the arsenal in the rear! Genzi, you really have a way. Not to mention that you successfully shot down a Japanese fighter plane, even if
It is a great achievement to find the remains of the Japanese fighter plane!" Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen, the smile in his eyes could hardly be concealed. Li Yunlong was very lucky that an excellent soldier like Liu Gen could appear in his independent regiment.
.
"Captain, I haven't done much. Everything is under your command, Commander!" Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen said with a smile.
Li Yunlong glared at Liu Gen, and when he saw the smile on Liu Gen's face, he felt something was wrong. Every time he saw Liu Gen smile like this, he would suffer losses, and the sweet potato fever he finally got would fall on Liu Gen.
Gen's hand. In order to avoid Liu Gen asking himself again for sweet potato roast as a reward, Li Yunlong decisively said in advance: "Genzi, I don't have sweet potato roast in my hand. During this time, our independent group has been fighting in various areas and wants to get a bottle."
It’s hard to even burn sweet potatoes!”
"Let's see. I see that our group still has a lot of Japanese sake. How many bottles can you take with you? I remember that the brigade commander likes to drink it."
Liu Gen curled his lips. He would be a real fool if he believed Li Yunlong's words. Li Yunlong's words cannot be believed at all! Besides, it's not like Liu Gen had never stayed at the brigade headquarters. He knew that the brigade commander rarely drank. Every day, the brigade commander
There were a lot of things to deal with, so how could he have time to drink? Besides, in the brigade commander's room, Liu Gen didn't see any bottle of Japanese sake at all, but he did see sweet potatoes.
"Captain, do you want to think about it for a moment? It's not like I've never been to the brigade headquarters, and I've met the brigade commander many times. You said, if I tell the brigade commander what you said, what will the brigade commander do?"
Liu Gen looked at Li Yunlong and said with a smile.
Suddenly, Li Yunlong's expression froze. He looked at Liu Gen. Even if he didn't understand that Liu Gen was threatening him? But there was no way. Thinking of what he said, Li Yunlong felt extremely regretful. Why couldn't he control himself?
Where is the mouth? Looking at the smile on Liu Gen's face, Li Yunlong was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do about Liu Gen. He still needed Liu Gen to lead the artillery battery for him? What's more, Liu Gen was about to leave the artillery company and go there.
The brigade headquarters took over the artillery team, and Li Yunlong could not have any effect on Liu Gen even if he was a threat.
"Damn it! I'm in trouble! I still have half a bottle of sweet potato roasting, so I'll give it to you, kid! That's it! Get out of here if you have nothing to do! Take the soldiers from the artillery company to get familiar with the mortars."
"I'm going to rest for a while. After your artillery company is familiar with it and there are no problems, then just bombard the Japanese! The defense of the 772 regiment is not easy. If you can help them a little, just help a little. Cheng Xiazi can pull the 772 regiment away.
If you do this, you are capable." Li Yunlong no longer had the slightest desire to continue talking to Liu Gen. He was worried that if he continued to talk to Liu Gen, he would lose more things.
In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Li Yunlong decisively chose to leave. Damn it, Li Yunlong was a little confused. When did Liu Gen become so powerful?
"Captain, please have a good rest. Our artillery company will soon be involved in the battle." Liu Gen looked at Li Yunlong's leaving figure with a slight smile in his eyes.
The artillery company soldiers took quick action to gather all the mortars of the independent regiment, and the results were soon achieved. Faced with the artillery company's move to put away the mortars, no battalion of the independent regiment stopped them.
We all know the artillery skills of the artillery company soldiers. If the mortars are controlled by the artillery company soldiers, they will undoubtedly be able to play a greater role.
Looking at the mortars collected by the soldiers, Liu Gen was still somewhat satisfied. Two 81mm mortars and four 60mm mortars. In actual combat, the combat effectiveness they can exert is naturally incomparable to that of the artillery battery.
Compared with the previous mortars, it is quite good to have two 81mm mortars. At least it can pose a certain threat when facing Japanese artillery!
If you just want to make full use of these mortars, you need to divide the artillery company into two teams. The range gap between the 81mm mortar and the 60mm mortar makes these two mortars needed.
Just spread out and bombard the Japanese!
Soon, Liu Gen made a decision. He planned to let Zhang Qiang take four 60mm mortars to form the first artillery position on the front line, while the two 81mm mortars were left in Liu Gen's hands to form the second artillery position.
Only in Liu Gen's hands can these two 81mm mortars exert their due power.
Zhang Qiang was a little excited when he learned that Liu Gen was going to let him lead four 60mm mortars. Being able to personally command the artillery in battle undoubtedly meant that he had Liu Gen's approval, otherwise Liu Gen would not have considered such an important thing.
Leave everything to him!
"Zhang Qiang, I hope you can make good use of these four mortars. Take advantage of the fact that the Japanese have no artillery and bomb them! If you really want to wait for the Japanese artillery to come, you can quickly hide with the mortars!"
Looking at Zhang Qiang in front of him, Liu Gen asked.
Zhang Qiang nodded vigorously. He would do the same without Liu Gen's advice. He is not a fool! He has been following Liu Gen. Zhang Qiang naturally has a good understanding of the artillery's combat methods. He knows that Liu Gen will be the most dangerous.
Time was left to himself. As for the four mortars Zhang Qiang brought, there would be no danger at all when the Japanese had no artillery.
"Company Commander, I won't let you down!" Zhang Qiang said seriously.
…
In the frontline position, Captain Cheng and the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment were defending. The Japs launched another attack. The Japs' momentum was so fierce that it seemed that the supposed heavy and light machine guns on the position could not be seen at all.
Looking at the ferocious-looking Japs, Captain Cheng knew that the Japs were really starting to exert their strength. Now every time they attacked, the Japs would press forward with all their troops! The Japs' intention to attack was obvious, which was to consume the soldiers' ammunition.
, once there is not enough ammunition, the Japanese can rush into the position.
In addition, such a ferocious attack by the Japanese will put great pressure on the soldiers. Under this pressure, once the Japanese soldiers make a mistake and lead to a loophole in the defensive firepower, then the Japanese will most likely seize the opportunity to rush forward crazily.
!The Japanese casualties not only failed to dampen the fighting will of this Japanese infantry brigade, but actually made them become more fierce.
Behind the Japs, the Japs captain looked indifferent. Looking at the Japs soldiers who kept dying on the charge, his mood did not change at all. After fighting with the defending independent regiment for such a long time, the Japs infantry brigade lost a squadron of troops.
, but even so, the Japs still have two infantry squadrons of Japs.
Now the 772nd Regiment replaced the Independent Regiment and came to defend. They had just taken over the position and were not able to successfully adapt to the intensity of the Japanese's crazy attack at the first time. In addition, when the Japanese continued to charge forward, they did not forget to use various tactics they had mastered.
The action makes the warriors' hit rate not very high.
Seeing the Japs approaching quickly, Commander Cheng hit the 772 regiment's heavy machine gun and light machine gun and fired at the same time, forming a cross fire network, hoping to stop the Japs' attack in this way! But looking at the formed fire network, and the fundamental
Commander Cheng frowned at the Japs who were not prepared to retreat. These Japs were really crazy!
"Boom" "Boom"
The few remaining grenades of the Japs opened fire, directly hitting two heavy machine guns, leaving an extremely obvious loophole in the firepower network formed by the 772 regiment's defensive position. The charging Japs saw two heavy guns on the defensive position.
When the machine gun was destroyed, he also reacted and decisively took advantage of this opportunity to suppress it!
"Charge! Take these Tubal Road positions!" the charging Japanese shouted loudly.
"boom"
A veteran of the 772nd Regiment noticed this kid. After a simple three-point and one-line aim, he directly pulled the trigger and fired, killing the kid directly. The Japs were getting closer and closer, and there were still some distance between them and the defensive position.
At thirty meters, the Japs looked extremely excited. They were finally going to take down these Tubal Road defensive positions!
At the first artillery position of the artillery company, Zhang Qiang looked at the prepared soldiers and gave the order to bombard the Japanese.
On the first artillery position, Zhang Qiang held a telescope in his hand. Through the telescope in his hand, he could clearly see the situation in the frontline position. Knowing that the Japanese were about to rush to the defensive position, Zhang Qiang knew that the four mortars he was responsible for might need to be used more effectively.
It worked. As for the two 81mm mortars that Liu Gen was in charge of, he had no intention of firing.
For Liu Gen, the two 81mm mortars in his hands have more important things to do. He has only one enemy, and that is the Japanese artillery, or a valuable enough target!
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
Just when the Japs were about to rush into the defensive position, mortar shells suddenly fell around the Japs, directly shattering the Japs' idea of taking over the defensive position. In order to prevent these Japs from rushing into the defensive position, Zhang Qiang directly ordered the soldiers to conduct a
Five consecutive shots, only in this way can we intimidate and kill more of the Japanese who rush to the front of the position!
The sudden attack of mortar shells not only surprised the Japanese, but also surprised Commander Cheng. Where did the artillery fire come from? Commander Cheng did not think that the artillery battery of the 772nd Regiment was exerting force. He knew that the artillery battery of the 772nd Regiment was responsible.
The strength is not yet able to achieve this step.
Artillery shells continued to explode in front of the defensive position. The charging Japanese chose to retreat. Faced with the falling mortar shells, they could not rush forward at all! No Japanese felt that they could resist the attack of the shells with their bodies, even if there were many
The Japs fell into a state of madness and did not dare to rush forward.
"Retreat! Retreat!" the Japanese squadron leader in charge of frontline command shouted loudly.
The Japs chose to retreat. Knowing that the Eighth Route Army's artillery was exerting force again, the Japs squadron leader knew that it would become difficult again to get those Tubal Route defensive positions!
At the Second Artillery Position, Liu Gen held a telescope and kept looking for his target. Soon, Liu Gen's eyes lit up and he found the target, a big fish!
"A big fish? Company commander? What did you see?" The soldiers around him asked curiously, not understanding why Liu Gen was suddenly so excited.
