Rise from the sword

Chapter 404 Telegram from the Brigade

"Mountain cannon with a range of [-] kilometers..."

While walking back to his small headquarters alone, Yamamoto rubbed his forehead all the way.

Needless to say, the artillery used by Li Yunlong to bombard the airport must have been provided by that Chen Fan.

It can be seen from the power and range.

Yamamoto, who works part-time as an intelligence officer, is very clear that most of the mountain cannons of the Republic of China are old and obsolete. The main force is the Krupp mountain cannon of the last century, and the [-]-type mountain cannon imitated from the Empire. The maximum range is only about four to six kilometers.

Of course, a few years before the war, the government ordered a batch of Bofors mountain guns from abroad, but the maximum range was only nine kilometers.

The artillery that bombarded the airport this time has a maximum range of [-] kilometers, far surpassing the Empire's Type [-] Mountain Cannon. The explosion power is greater than that of the general Seventy-Five Mountain Cannon, and it still has considerable accuracy even at a range of ten kilometers. which performed.

This kind of artillery that the empire does not have, and only Chen Fan can provide it.

"Trouble..."

Returning to his small headquarters, he took out the map of Taiyuan and put it on the table. Looking at the terrain around the airport, Yamamoto felt a little headache.

Although Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province, it is an important town, but the plain terrain is as small as the city center, and the rest are mountainous, especially near the airport. Within a radius of more than ten kilometers, except for the direction close to Taiyuan City, there are many small peaks on the other three sides. These The peak is not high, only about a few hundred meters, the terrain of the hillside is complex, and the mountain road is winding and rugged.

In such a terrain, facing a range of [-] kilometers and extremely maneuverable mountain guns in mountainous areas, how should we prepare for them?
He really couldn't think of a good way for a while.

Especially the serious shortage of troops, and the enemy commander is Li Yunlong who knows a little about special operations.

As the commander of the special forces, from his point of view, this kind of mobile cannon is comparable to the infantry's mountain artillery. There are countless ways to reach the vicinity of Taiyuan Airport, and it is impossible to achieve absolute defense.

Set up barbed wire, or landmines to block the mountain road...
Although the terrain of these low hills is complex, the slopes are gentle. If you don’t climb up through the mountain roads, it’s just a little slower. If the opponent approaches at night, set up a position nine or ten kilometers away and shoot a few shots before leaving. The blockade is meaningless.

Set up guard posts on every mountain peak, and send people to patrol at night...
For a radius of ten kilometers, at least two full brigades of troops are needed. Only by patrolling and guarding in units can we barely weave a defensive warning net, and it may not be able to prevent it.

It only takes a few minutes for the mountain cannon to be assembled and launched, and the position requirements are also low. A small flat bottom will do, and the retreat will be faster. The patrol team may not be able to defend against it.

Moreover, those scattered troops on patrol were simply perfect targets, and Li Yunlong would definitely attack these patrolling soldiers.

"Trouble..."

Rubbing his forehead again, Yamamoto decided to formulate the plan first, and then leave it to General Yoshimoto to make his own decision.

He's just an officer.

Yamamoto is proficient in special operations, and has made considerable research and achievements on infiltration and reverse osmosis. The plan was quickly formed, and then he threw the plan aside and began to think about another order from Gibbon.

Investigate the origin of the big mule...
The corner of Yamamoto's mouth twitched at the thought of this question.

Could he not know where this big mule came from?
Of course he knew it, and he had known it for a long time.

He is also envious of this kind of animal power with high mobility and strong transport capacity in the mountains. This thing is simply a super weapon for mountain warfare. His special forces can carry Type [-] infantry guns, mortars, and even mountain cannons with a few heads. Without any drop in mobility, the combat effectiveness is doubled.

Even plain areas have an extremely high effect.

In modern warfare, logistics and mobility are fought.

According to his analysis of a series of battles by Li Yunlong, in the land that lacked roads in the Republic of China, this kind of mule and horse can increase the supply and mobility of an army by more than three times. If it can be obtained and promoted on a large scale, the imperial army may can get out of the current predicament.

So far, almost all the failures of the empire have been forced to stop due to supply problems.

But that Chen Fan...

"Is there such a person..."

Yamamoto couldn't help rubbing his forehead again.

·····
Just when Yamamoto had a headache.

Zhao Jiayu.

Li Yunlong also received a telegram from Paoyilian.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the political commissar, and a telegram from the artillery company, the mission of the third bombardment of Taiyuan Airport has been successfully completed. A total of [-] shells have been fired at Taiyuan Airport. Most of them hit the airport, destroying many aircraft and warehouses."

"Five shots in a row without any loss."

The telegraph operator took a telegram and reported to Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong:
"The loss of Devil Taiyuan Airport cannot be estimated, but it is estimated that more than half of the loss will be lost, and it will be unusable within two months."

"it is good."

Li Yunlong nodded to the telegraph operator in satisfaction.

The telegraph operator handed the telegram to Li Yunlong, then saluted and turned to leave.

"Hahaha···"

Seeing that there were no other people in the regiment headquarters, Captain Li finally couldn't help laughing, and he was very happy.

Firstly, he was happy for another successful shelling of Taiyuan Airport, secondly...
"Old Zhao, this telegram is convenient."

Holding the telegram in his hand, Li Yunlong's mouth was about to crooked as soon as he smiled.

Without waiting for Zhao Gang to roll his eyes, he continued to speak in an embarrassing tone:

"Next month, we will build one for Lao Ding and Lao Kong, so that our three groups can communicate with each other on a daily basis."

Stations are limited and only five stations are available per month.

"Well, by the way, I have to ask the superior to assign a few telegraph operators to these two guys."

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands impatiently.

The bombardment of the airport this time killed a lot of devil planes and cars, and gained a lot of supplies. Next month, I can change a few radio stations. The current five radio stations of the independent regiment are enough, and I can give one to the new first regiment and one to the new second regiment. Taiwan, the rest to the top.

There is a severe lack of radio stations above.

Thinking of the telegram communication scene between the three regiments...
He was looking forward to the arrival of next month.

"It's really time to give the radio station to the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment. The communication of the cavalry is too slow, too inconvenient, and it is prone to accidents." The appearance of showing off in front of him, but Zhao Gang also agreed with this proposal.

"Captain..."

The monk ran in and interrupted Li Yunlong's longing:
"I'm ready and ready to go."

According to the information provided by Ding Wei and Kong Jie, three days later, a group of devil transport teams and a brigade of devils will depart from Pan County to Ping'an County.

"it is good."

Li Yunlong nodded, and told the monk:
"You will be in command of the special team this time. If you have any questions, just ask Zhang Dabiao. In terms of command, you still lack a lot."

"Yes."

The monk's tone was excited.

After the monk left, Li Yunlong continued to giggle with the telegram. Seeing this, Zhao Gang took a few steps away silently and continued to think about his cultural knowledge training for the independent group.

The materials are sufficient, so there is no need to worry. The grassroots officers and cadres are sufficient, and they are all highly qualified cadres who have been trained by the headquarters. Zhao Gang does not need to worry about the training of the independent regiment. Apart from ideological education, his recent work is to focus on the cultural knowledge in the regiment training.

In the past three years, the independent group has proved the importance of knowledge.

Therefore, Zhao Gang intends to teach the soldiers some advanced knowledge, that is, high school level knowledge.

There is no problem with the teaching materials. He asked Boss Chen to get a lot of books, including all kinds of books, but there is a serious shortage of manpower. He is the only person in the regiment who can teach high school level knowledge...

At this moment, suddenly, the telegraph operator ran in again:

"The head of the regiment, the political commissar, and the telegram from the brigade."

Immediately, Li Yunlong's face froze, the corners of his mouth collapsed, and the last telegram in his hand fell directly to the ground.

'Hahaha····'

Seeing this scene, Zhao Gang couldn't help it, and laughed like a pig.
