Rise from the sword

Chapter 479 The curtain opens!

"General Yamamoto, what should we do?"

Shinji Kozu asked anxiously.

In the headquarters, the rest of the people also looked at Yamamoto.

"How to do?"

Facing the eyes of everyone, Kazuki Yamamoto looked at each other, asked a question, and then snorted coldly:
"There's no very effective response."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the headquarters froze.

You are a master of special operations, a talented student who returned from Germany, a major general of the empire, and the founder of the current situation in Ping'an County.

Are you helpless?

But Kozuo Yamamoto has been in control of Ping'an County for so long, and with his style of conduct, it is doomed that the people in the headquarters at this time are all hard-working people, and there are no sycophants, and ability is the priority.

Everyone thought for a while and found that this was indeed the case.

If it was only facing a kind of enemy artillery with an extremely long range, the imperial army had plenty of ways to deal with it, such as bombing by planes, interspersed raids by small groups of troops, moving artillery positions forward, and so on.

but now.

Airplane, no.

The airfield of the First Army has been bombarded many times, and the Flying Brigade of the First Army has suffered heavy losses, and the rest have also been transferred away. There are only a few reconnaissance planes parked at the airport. Moreover, the fuel has not been replenished recently, and even the reconnaissance has stopped. .

Besides, even if there is, the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the independent regiment is not weak. In the face of the intensive anti-aircraft firepower of 12.7, 20, and 40 calibers, it is still unclear whether the aircraft can deal with the artillery positions.

Small groups of troops interspersed with raids are completely unworkable.

Now the independent regiment is suppressing the border across the board, the army is attacking, and small groups of troops are interspersed with raids?Even if General Yamamoto personally dispatched all his special forces, there would be no return.

Artillery positions moved forward.

Not to mention, the quantity and quality of the artillery are at a disadvantage, and the infantry is also being suppressed and beaten by others, and moving forward can only die faster.

So there is really no effective way to deal with it.

"The long-range cannon battalion is waiting for an opportunity to suppress the enemy's heavy artillery unit."

After a long silence, Yamamoto gave the order:

"Notify the troops stationed in each position that it is time to be loyal to the emperor and the empire."

Yamamoto chose to rely on solid and complex positions, sufficient troops to delay the attack of the independent regiment, heavy artillery can only initially destroy the position, and finally need infantry to actually occupy the position, even if the independent regiment has excellent infantry support artillery, a position can be delayed for a long time .

"Hi."

The staff officer quickly conveyed the order.

"Accelerate the expansion of the new squadron."

Yamamoto continued to give orders, his voice icy:
"Directly expand the squadron of the reserve team into a reinforced squadron, ready to launch a counterattack at night."

After the voice fell, everyone in the headquarters fell silent.

The domestic base camp sent to Ping'an County are all recruits, B and C grades, low-quality, almost no training, recruits who have just been conscripted, and recruits who don't even have an establishment, they can only be used as reserve soldiers after being dispersed into the army.

In order to carry out the follow-up large-scale counterattack, all the real elite troops are in training, and the reserve team is only recruits honed after several actual combats. Only the squad is veterans. That's totally cannon fodder.

Of course, after a month of intensive bushido training, these recruits have a strong will to fight.

But also recruits.

These people launched night raids with the purpose of regaining their positions, and the results can be imagined.

"Hi."

After a short pause, all the staff officers in the headquarters responded and began to formulate a detailed execution plan.

With a steady stream of recruits being sent over from the country, Ping'an County now has the foundation to implement this plan.

······
front.

On the devil's fourth line of battle, the battle was tense.

Although the heavy artillery destroyed almost all the strong positions and fortifications of the devils, the battle for the ruined positions was still intense. The battle lasted from morning to evening, and the independent regiment failed to complete the elimination of the fourth position.

"This group of devils looks like the devils at the beginning of the war."

On the front line, Li Yunlong held up his binoculars and looked at the battle scene in the distance, tsk, tsk, tsk.

"Indeed, these devils have a strong will to fight, and almost no one surrenders."

Beside Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao said.

The tone of both of them was full of sarcasm.

As old people who have been here since [-], the two of them have seen the devils at the beginning of the war. It is true that they have strong fighting power, rich experience, and tenacious will. The troops fought against the devils for more than half a year. a captive.

At that time, the devils were able to suppress all parties in the country and beat them violently, not only because of equipment, but also because of combat experience and the gap in combat will
But the group of devils in front of them only had a strong will, and the rest were no good, no equipment, no experience.

But in terms of combat will, the independent regiment is not bad at all. Whether it is a recruit or a veteran, they are all hungry wolves. In terms of equipment and combat experience, the independent regiment is also a complete victory.

Every recruit participating in the war must receive half a year of military training, over [-] rounds of live ammunition shooting training, grenade throwing training, battlefield environment adaptability training, etc.Compared with the devils, they won again.

Until night fell, most of the fourth position had been occupied by the independent regiment.

"Yamamoto is expected to launch a night attack to regain the position."

Li Yunlong exhorted:

"Pay attention to strengthen the defense."

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao's tone was solemn.

Fighting at night is the only way to deal with enemies with superior firepower.

During the time of the Xinyi Regiment, the devils had an absolute advantage in firepower, and they often did this, but now, the party with the superior firepower has been replaced by an independent regiment, and the night raiders have become devils.

While there are flares, there are plenty of them.

However, the field of vision of the flares is limited, the time is short, and the blind spots are large. Moreover, the positions just after the war are ruined. It is impossible to build strong fortifications in a short time, and defense is not easy.

Subsequently, Zhang Dabiao ordered to stop the offensive, built fortifications and bunkers on the spot, and planted a large number of landmines.

But the night gradually shrouded completely, and did not give the independent group much time to prepare.

boom····

Ten past eleven.

"The devil is coming up."

With a bang of explosions, the landmine was detonated, and the expected devils attacked at night, but there were also unexpected ones.

Just three hours later, Zhang Dabiao received another message:
"The position is lost, the devils are rushing up..."

"Damn..."

Zhang Dabiao cursed:
"Withdraw, withdraw, leave the ground to the devils."

Lack of effective field of vision at night, reduced artillery advantage, limited use of recoilless guns, and too much disadvantage in fighting devils. Although the losses are still greater for devils, they are much less than during the day. Zhang Dabiao is naturally not stupid.

The purpose of this attack is not to occupy the position, but——

Eliminate the devils!

Simultaneously.

"General Yamamoto, we have regained our position."

Yamamoto also received the message.

"Fortify your position immediately."

Yamamoto knew very well that the position would definitely be recaptured by the independent regiment during the day tomorrow, so he had to strengthen the position to prevent it from being fully occupied.

Fighting broke out again the next day, and as expected, the Independent Regiment took up positions with overwhelming artillery fire, but the position changed hands again during the night.

In the following period of time, the battle was stalemate in such repetitions.

However, relying on its superior firepower, the independent regiment gradually occupied the fourth position and began to snatch the third position.

Until mid-December.

Both 43/12/15.

Inside the Ping'an County Headquarters:
"Operation 'Snake' begins at night the day after tomorrow."

Holding the battle plan, Yamamoto looked around fiercely at the fifteen lieutenant commanders, then pulled back the wall covering behind him, revealing a huge map of the base of the independent regiment, and raised his tone:

"This battle will be led by you personally."

Simultaneously.

Independent Regiment, Gecun Frontline Headquarters.

"Hahaha, fifteen thousand."

Holding the list in his hand, Li Yunlong almost jumped up with joy.

The rest of the people laughed no better than Captain Li.

[-] means that Boss Chen will reimburse them double for the loss and consumption of weapons and ammunition.

Moreover, just now, Boss Chen has come and gave them a list, the first line of which reads——

Ten thousand tons of ammunition.

Yes, ammo!

　Unable to bear it any longer, I compressed a plot and went to bed first.

　　I am too old to stay up late.

　　Back then, the two stayed up all night and didn't feel it at all.

　　Now·····
　　hey sigh
