Rise from the sword

Chapter 469 Chu Yunfei: What a quick fight!
"Monk."

In Zuojiazhuang, the regiment headquarters of the former Xinyi regiment, Li Yunlong began to assign combat tasks.

"exist."

Monk Wei responded loudly.

"You take the remaining members of the special team and a battalion of soldiers from the reconnaissance company to sneak into Heyuan County first."

Li Yunlong looked at his watch:

"The day after tomorrow is the birthday of Ichiro Hirata, captain of the little devil's gendarmerie. This old devil has arranged a birthday party in Juxianlou, and invited officers from Heyuan County, the Imperial Association Army, and those traitors and celebrities to attend."

"Wait until this group of people is here before doing it."

At the end, Li Yunlong was murderous.

"Yes."

The monk licked his lips, his eyes were bloodthirsty.

Needless to say, the little devils are officers, they are all damned, Heyuan County is close to the Zhaojiayu base area, and the little devils are severely suppressed. The number of puppet troops has been greatly reduced in the past year.

In the base area of ​​the independent regiment, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is no problem in supporting your family.

The puppet army officers who are still working with the devils, as well as the so-called shit celebrities, are all hard-core traitors and bastards. They harm the people on weekdays and deserve to die.

"The special team and a battalion of reconnaissance company fighters have about 150 soldiers. Is it okay to lurk in all of them?"

Zhao Gang, who came here purposely, asked.

Recently, political commissar Zhao has basically paid no attention to military operations. He came here this time to inspect the terrain and plans to build a light rail from Heyuan County to Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory after occupying Heyuan County.

Scrap steel will not be able to meet the needs of the base area in the future, and the Zhaojiayu base area must build a steel factory by itself.

"no problem."

The monk's tone is confident:

"We only fought the little devil in Heyuan County once. Afterwards, the little devil only moved the barracks, and his vigilance was not strengthened. I tried it the day before yesterday. I cooperated with the comrades in the city and brought a large-caliber heavy machine gun. No problem."

"it is good."

Zhao Gang nodded in satisfaction.

After four years of tempering and over a hundred actual combats, the monk is no longer that big soldier. Today's Wei Dayong is proficient in special operations, has a good command ability, and has a good command ability.

"One company, three companies, temporary artillery company, under the command of Xu Husheng, set up a position near Pukougou, and block the reinforcements from Taiyuan."

"Second company, temporary formation of the second artillery company, under the command of the second battalion commander Luo Er, set up a position in Dakouzhuang to block the reinforcements from the direction of Fu'an."

Seeing the two lines of defense laid out by Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang couldn't help but smile.

These two lines of defense are very far away, especially Pukougou, which is more than 60 miles away from Heyuan County, which is completely beyond the conventional blocking distance. Of course, the political commissar also understands why they chose such a long distance.

It's all about the tank business.

This time, the Independence Regiment was fully prepared to attack Heyuan County. With the special operations mode and the elimination of the high-level Japanese and puppet troops in Heyuan County, the battle was expected to end in at most six hours.

If the positions were not arranged farther away, maybe the battle in Heyuan County would have ended before the blocking troops encountered reinforcements from the devils. If two blocking battles were missed, how many devils would have to be killed?

This will not work.

So in order to kill more devils, we had to send the blocking troops farther away.Anyway, the army has enough big mules, and this time a transport company was specially configured, with sufficient transport and mobility capabilities.

"The rest of the troops will attack Heyuan County with me."

"Yes."

More than a dozen battalion and company officers responded in unison.

"I don't need to save weapons and ammunition this time, so I opened my mouth."

Leader Li looked around with a bold tone.

Not long ago, the air defense force shot down a devil reconnaissance plane at the tank training ground, killed two devils, and harvested [-] tons of weapons and ammunition quota, plus thousands of tons of windfall food supplies. Li Yunlong immediately decided to use this batch of ammunition for Attack Heyuan County.

"Yes."

This time, the voices of the battalion and company commanders were significantly louder.

"Communication soldier."

Finally, Li Yunlong thought for a while, and suddenly called a communication soldier:
"The morning after tomorrow, send a letter to the [-]th Regiment, saying that Li Yunlong, the head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, invited Head Chu to watch a play, and the place is in Heyuan County."

"Yes."

The communications soldier led the way.

at the same time.

Gecun.

In the frontline headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion commander of the independent regiment and the chief of staff of the independent regiment, organized a combat meeting. The commanders of the battalions and companies on the front line and Yan Sheng, the commander of the artillery company, came to the meeting.

Zhang Dabiao exhaled loudly:
"The day after tomorrow, the little devil is likely to launch a large-scale counterattack, and then hit me hard."

As soon as the news of the Independence Regiment's attack on Heyuan County reaches the ears of Ping'an County, the devils will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack. There is no doubt that Zhang Dabiao intends to beat the devils hard at that time.

He is very clear that the tank business has killed more than 900 devils, which is [-] short of [-].

And to reach the [-] quota, each devil will add another ten tons of reinforced concrete, and it is not a low-quality product fired by the base itself, but a high-quality and high-label product.This thing is urgently needed in the base area. Whether it is building a warehouse or building a bunker, it is an excellent thing.Excess rebar can also be used to build rails.

"What about us?"

Yansheng asked.

The 120 mortars belong to the command of each battalion, while the new 105 howitzers belong to the unified command of the artillery unit. The 160 heavy mortars are not deployed on the front line, but there are still [-] Bofors mountain guns on standby on the front line.

"Same, you can fight with your hands and feet."

Zhang Dabiao said.

"it is good···"

Yan Sheng laughed with satisfaction.

Only fifty mountain cannons were dispatched in the last battle, and all of them were new artillery groups, and they were even used in turns. The efficiency was very low, but after the last battle, the new artillery groups had matured. This time, all the one hundred artillery pieces dispatched, coupled with the mature artillery group.

He must let the little devil have a good taste of what it means to be covered by artillery fire.

The next night, the independent regiment began to move.

The positions on the front line of the fierce battle stocked up on ammunition, reinforced their positions, and strengthened their troops. The artillery company, with one hundred Bofors Hill guns, also received an order to transport a large number of shells from the warehouse area.

the other side.

The monk brought a special team and a battalion of reconnaissance to the county seat of Heyuan County overnight.

"Tomorrow, rest well during the day, and start action immediately after hearing the gunfire at night."

With two Desert Eagles pinned to his waist and a new recoilless gun on his back, the monk said to the three commanding officers.

Tomorrow night, he will lead a special team to raid the Juxian Building to eliminate the devil officers inside. The reconnaissance company will divide into three groups, blockade the devil barracks all the way, attack the armory all the way, and sneak attack the city wall all the way to open the city gate for the attacking troops.

For this mission, the monk led the special team and the first battalion reconnaissance company to conduct long-term targeted training, and even simulated the environment of Heyuan County for actual combat drills based on detailed maps.Ammunition was also transported to the city in advance.

"Yes."

All the captains should be.

Subsequently, more than 100 people quietly sneaked into Heyuan County, lurking in various contact points in Heyuan County.

Because it is close to the Zhaojiayu base area and only about 150 kilometers away from the edge, there are a large number of independent regiment personnel lurking in Heyuan County. There are quite a lot of contact points, and [-] people can easily hide.

······
the next day.

morning.

"Li Yunlong invited me to watch a play outside Heyuan County?"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Chu Yunfei's tone was puzzled and surprised.

The [-]th regiment is located near Heyuan County, so Heyuan County knows it very well.

There are [-] Japanese troops stationed in Heyuan County, equipped with four mountain cannons, and their strength is not weak. Of course, this strength is weaker than the current strength of the [-]th Regiment. Yilang Zhongzuo is very capable, and with the help of those puppet troops, the [-]th Regiment did not take advantage of it.

Inviting him to watch a play outside Heyuan County made Chu Yunfei unable to figure out what Li Yunlong was thinking for a while.

"What does Li Yunlong want to do?"

The deputy official's meritorious voice was vigilant.

Ever since seeing the three [-]-style mountain cannons, Fang Ligong has shown extremely high vigilance and hostility towards the independent regiment.

They have known for a long time that the group of Tuba Road is building their own military equipment, and they also know that they can manufacture a lot of explosives, as well as rifles and machine guns. For this reason, the Jinsui Army even started intelligence spying.

But being able to make cannons was beyond Fang Ligong's expectations.

The production of machine guns is not at the same level as the production of cannons.

Even using imported gun steel to make cannons is far more difficult than making machine guns and rifles. The arsenal in the southern government only has this technical capability. If it is self-made gun steel and those new shells, it will be very bad.

If the way is different, do not conspire with each other, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Although the two sides are united in the war of resistance, they are both fighting against the Japanese and devils, but after the little devils leave, they will meet each other one day. The stronger that group of people, the more unfavorable it will be for the future.

"Today is Ichiro Hirata's birthday, right?"

Chu Yunfei asked.

"Correct."

As a direct opponent, the [-]th Regiment will naturally go all out to collect information on the devils in Heyuan County. Fang Ligong immediately returned and said:

"A few days ago, Ichiro Hirata reserved the Juxianlou to entertain the officers of the Japanese army in Heyuan County, the officers of the Imperial Association Army, and celebrities in the county."

Chu Yunfei then snorted coldly:
"Since someone from Chu is invited to watch a play, how can I not go?"

Then he called the signal soldier of the Independent Regiment outside and said:

"Please tell Captain Li, I will go to the appointment on time."

After the communications soldiers of the Independent Regiment left, Fang Ligong was puzzled:

"Please go to the theater outside Heyuan County. What kind of medicine is sold in Li Yunlong's gourd? Could it be that he wants to bombard the Japanese army camp in the county seat of Heyuan County? To show off his force?"

After seeing the nameplate made by Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory, Fang Ligong immediately understood that the three 200-type mountain guns last time and the more than [-] new-made shells were deliberately sent by the Eighth Route Army to deter the recent intelligence of the Jinsui Army. The Department's small actions against the Taihang Mountain Arsenal.

"You'll know when you see it."

Chu Yunfei patted his white-gloved hands.

He could guess what Li Yunlong called him.

It was nothing more than planning to show off in front of him.

The Independence Regiment once used 120 mortars to bombard the Japanese camp in Heyuan County intensively, forcing the Japanese army to move the camp to a densely populated area in the city.But Chu Yunfei felt that things would not be so simple.

Although Li Yunlong is naturally arrogant, he would never be arrogant in front of him when he bombarded the devil's camp, let alone this happened before. With Li Yunlong's character, he must have made some big moves.

Only things that can surprise Chu Yunfei and shock him will call him out.

But what could it be?
Chu Yunfei fell into deep thought, and soon, a thought appeared in his mind.

Could it be that Li Yunlong plans to conquer Heyuan County?

This matter really shocked him.

But soon Chu Yunfei denied this idea.

The Independent Regiment is indeed very strong now, with mysterious weapon support and material assistance. The overall strength is three times or even four times that of the [-] Regiment. Those unified firearms, those large-caliber machine guns, and those swift mortars, look He was drooling.

But if you want to take Heyuan County, you can't do it unless the entire independent regiment is dispatched, plus the new first regiment and the new second regiment.

Heyuan County is close to Taiyuan and Fu'an, where heavy Japanese troops are stationed, especially Taiyuan, where Japanese reinforcements can arrive in less than a day through the highway, and reinforcements from Shuiquan and other places can arrive within two days.

Unless Li Yunlong dared to ignore the tens of thousands of Japanese troops stationed in Ping'an County, the independent regiment would never dare to attack Heyuan County.Of course, if Li Yunlong had heavy siege artillery, he could take down Heyuan County in one day, but even if Li Yunlong had it, there was no way for him to transport it.

Or, use his special forces to kill Ichiro Hirata at the birthday party?
Chu Yunfei thought of another possibility.

Because of the military police patrol system in Heyuan County, Japanese military police can be seen patrolling in the county at any time to maintain law and order, but the external security line is very low, and it is easy to sneak in.

"Team seat."

Fang Ligong said suddenly, planning Chu Yunfei's thoughts:
"You and Li Yunlong have a good relationship, right?"

"Humph."

Although he gave a cold snort with disdain, Chu Yunfei also nodded.

"Recently, a mountain cannon in the regiment was damaged. There were cracks in the barrel and the cannon body. You can ask Li Yunlong to repair it when you meet this time."

Fang Ligong said.

"it is good."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement.

He understood what his adjutant meant. This was to test the production capacity of the Zhaojiayu Machinery Factory, to see whether the Eighth Route Army made its own gun steel or imported it from abroad.

There is a huge gap between these two points.

Judging from their tests on the three [-]-type mountain cannons, not only the processing ability is strong, but the cannons have high shooting accuracy, and the quality of the cannon steel used is extremely high, which is much better than that of the devils.

······
Time passed and night fell.

Chu Yunfei led his guard platoon and stood on a high ground close to Heyuan County, holding up a telescope to look at Heyuan County in the distance. Beside him, Fang Ligong was also holding a telescope.

"what time is it?"

Chu Yunfei put down the binoculars and tightened his yellow wool coat.

In late October in Northwest Shanxi, the night temperature is already very low. Standing on the top of this mountain, I feel a little cold.

Beside him, Fang Ligong looked at his watch and replied:
"Seven twenty-five."

"It seems that the good show Li Yunlong said should begin."

Chu Yunfei muttered to himself.

According to the letter sent by Li Yunlong, the show will start between seven and eight o'clock.

Time to seven thirty.

Outside Juxian Building.

The monk led a special team of more than 20 people lurking in a house. Outside the house, a soldier held up a telescope to closely observe the Juxian Building.

At this time, in Juxian Building, the devil officers, the puppet army officers, and the so-called president of the maintenance association and other traitors had already arrived, and there were no empty seats.Although the lord Hirata Ichiro has not arrived yet, the house is very lively, because the traitors are busy flattering the other devil officers.

"coming."

The special team soldiers in charge of observation saw Hirata Ichiro wearing a devil's military cap.

"Wait another five minutes and start."

The monk loaded the 84 recoilless gun in his hand with shells.

Beside him, another special team soldier also raised the recoilless gun in his hand.

Five minutes later, that is, at 5:45, with a dazzling flame from the nozzle of the Gustav recoilless gun, two 84mm anti-personnel bombs flew into the first floor of Juxian Building.

boom···

The cannonball exploded, and nearly two thousand steel balls scattered at multiple times the speed of sound, and the devils and puppet soldiers in the room suddenly screamed.

boom···

Immediately afterwards, two more anti-steel ball bombs flew into Juxian Tower.

"superior."

After four shells, the monk pointed two desert eagles and led people into Juxian Tower.

Looking around, the monk immediately cursed:

"This cannon is so damn powerful, there isn't a single one alive."

When the special team opened fire, the devils were too concentrated, and they were all listening to Ichiro Hirata's babbling, and were basically wiped out by four shells.

"Continue to attack along the streets and support the troops attacking the wall."

After the monk shot a devil struggling in a pool of blood, he continued to attack the city gate with a special team.

At this time, there were already gunshots in the city.

The moment the gunfire rang.

At the south city gate, more than 50 soldiers from the first battalion reconnaissance company armed with submachine guns, and with the support of recoilless guns, launched an attack on the city gate. .

In the barracks, a large number of devils rushed out in a hurry and were blocked by landmines and the intensive firepower of nearly a dozen general-purpose machine guns intertwined. Support Nancheng Gate and Juxian Tower.

Outside the city, under the cover of night, the four companies of the Independence Regiment had already approached the south gate, only two kilometers away. As soon as the guns rang out, they immediately launched an attack. Also because there was no strong command, they faced front and rear attacks within half an hour. , All the firepower points of the outer positions were cleared by the new recoilless guns, the gates of the city were opened wide, and more than two thousand independent regiment fighters rushed into the county seat.

"Clean up the remaining devils."

Li Yunlong, who has been in the frontline troops, ordered immediately.

Without command, the devils in Heyuan County, who were a fly, were quickly wiped out in the face of a large number of independent regiments equipped with submachine guns and direct artillery support from recoilless guns.

On the high ground outside Heyuan County.

Looking at the flames of explosions in the city and the flares rising from the gate of the city, Chu Yunfei said in disbelief:

"This is here, planning to hit the county seat?"

Beside him, Fang Ligong's mouth twitched for a while and didn't speak.

The flares allowed the two of them to see very clearly, the thousands of troops outside the city, and the dense muzzle fireworks inside the city, the fact was already obvious—the independent regiment was attacking Heyuan County.

It seems that part of it has been scored, and the south gate of Heyuan County is also in danger.

"It should be that the troops were sent to sneak into Heyuan County in advance to wipe out the Japanese officers on Ichiro Hirata's birthday, causing the devils to lose their unified command."

Chu Yunfei's tone was serious.

The two of them didn't speak after that, and looked at them solemnly.

It's simple to say, but it's not easy to do. From the battle in the county seat, it can be seen that there are more than a hundred people lurking in the independent regiment. It is not easy for so many people to enter the county seat without being discovered by the devils.

Moreover, the two also discovered the direct-firing artillery with huge flames.

"The city gate is broken."

Ten minutes later, Fang Ligong suddenly shouted.

It can already be seen from here that under the flare and firelight, the south gate of Heyuan County has been opened, and the independent regiment soldiers from the brigade rushed into the county seat and began to clean up the streets one by one.

"A quick fight."

After a long time, Chu Yunfei was full of horrified emotions.

The most troublesome part of the siege is the street fighting. The devils have been running Heyuan County for so long, and the city has a solid and reasonable defense system. Since the first cannon shot, it has only been two hours since the independent regiment has already occupied half of Heyuan County. .

"Their direct-firing artillery is very effective."

Fang Ligong observed the battle all the way, so he naturally knew why the battle progressed so quickly.

"What kind of artillery is this? The power is comparable to that of the Type [-] infantry artillery, and it seems that it can be used by a single soldier."

Fang Ligong's tone was dignified.

Fang Ligong knew very well that direct-firing artillery, used by individual soldiers, could destroy machine gun bunkers, and greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of an army. In addition, such weapons appearing in the hands of 'enemies' is not a good thing.

"Should be a recoilless gun."

The government troops are not currently equipped with recoilless guns, so Fang Ligong is not clear, but Chu Yunfei's vision can still be guessed.

·······
Just when Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Independence Regiment.

Taiyuan.

Yoshimoto Teiichi, who had figured out the situation, also issued an order:

"Order the Yoshino Regiment to support Heyuan County immediately."

the other side.

Shinji Kozuo and Yamamoto also rushed into the headquarters.

　Change first, change later...
