Rise from the sword

Chapter 506 Li Yunlong wants to be wiped out.

"Order the troops to immediately reinforce the follow-up position."

The No.17 brigade successfully retreated, and Yamamoto, who was relieved, said quickly.

In this battle, it was obviously fought so hard at night, the total number of casualties exceeded 2000, and the total number of casualties even exceeded [-]. It was because of the lack of a solid position that they could not fight back against the tanks.

"Hi."

The staff officer bowed his head and said yes.

"How is the battle with the cavalry?"

"How effective are magnetic grenades in combat?"

Immediately afterwards, Yamamoto continued to ask.

He knew that the remaining 200 men and [-] horses of the cavalry regiment, as well as the entrusted deputy lieutenant regiment, were all gone, but it didn't matter, anyway, the cavalry was really useless to the independent regiment.

What he needs is the combat effect of anti-tank grenades.

What is needed is a new type of anti-tank weapon that is simple to produce and works well.

Explosive packs and death squads are too ineffective. Facing the superior firepower of the independent regiment, it is difficult for the death squads to approach. Especially recently, the tank troops of the independent regiment have become more and more experienced. Even if they are hiding in pre-built bunkers, they are often shot. .

"It didn't work very well."

The staff department organized by Yamamoto was very efficient, and some information was obtained through several escaped ghost soldiers and summarized:
"The magnetic grenade is not magnetic enough to stick to the armor, and it is not powerful enough to guarantee that it can penetrate the armor and destroy the tank, and it is very inconvenient to use. Even cavalry has a hard time remaining on the tank."

"The opponent's firepower is too strong."

The new staff officer spoke matter-of-factly:
"General, we need a large number of anti-tank guns, Type [-] or larger. In the previous battles, the results of the anti-tank guns were very good, but the number was too small and the power was a bit weak."

Hearing the staff officer's words, Yamamoto sighed inwardly.

A large number of type [-] or larger caliber anti-aircraft guns.

It's easy to say.

However, the production of anti-aircraft guns takes time and is difficult to produce. With the current production capacity of the empire, there is a serious shortage of all types, let alone the development of anti-aircraft guns with larger calibers, and the Pacific region must be given priority.

According to the situation of the empire and the current situation in Ping'an County, what he needs is an anti-tank weapon that is easy to produce, can be mass-produced quickly, and is suitable for recruits.

"Write a report on last night's battle."

Yamamoto said to the staff officer.

"Hi."

The staff responded.

"How much fuel has been collected recently?"

Yamamoto asked suddenly.

In the past few days of war, generally speaking, the circulation of materials should be much less, especially fuel, but...
"Collect five thousand tons of heavy oil."

The staff officer's answer caused Yamamoto's pupils to explode suddenly.

I was a little suspicious before, but now, don't think about it, the fuel oil must have been released by Li Yunlong on his own initiative, and the marine heavy fuel oil was released on purpose.

At this moment, jingling, the phone rang, and there were several phones in the headquarters. Yamamoto looked at the phone, and it was from the rear position, so he borrowed it directly.

"whats the matter?"

Yamamoto asked casually.

"General."

When the other party heard that it was Yamamoto, he said quickly, with a flustered tone:
"Yu County leads to Pan County and Ping'an County, and Tieshiling and Luojiaya are occupied by the Eighth Route Army."

"Nani?"

At this moment, Yamamoto called out the fifth Nani, and the pitch was the highest.

Tieshiling, Luojiaya, these two place names, you don’t need to look at the map. This is an important node on the main road from Yu County to Ping’an County and Pan County, and these two roads are also the core supply lines.

The rest of the traffic capacity is not good, nor is it safe.

At this time, the core important key nodes of these two highways were occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

Special operations, infiltration interspersed.

For a moment, these two words appeared in Yamamoto's mind.

"idiot."

At this point, he couldn't help but curse bitterly.

He promoted special operations, worked tirelessly for it, endured a bunch of people's stares, and even gave up his own future. As a result, the empire still didn't pay attention to it, and the enemy used it to flourish.

It feels outrageous.

"How is the force?"

Yamamoto took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality and asked.

"According to the information sent back by the garrison, the enemy attacking the two nodes is about a full brigade, and they all carry 120 mortars."

The staff officer replied.

"Two full brigades?"

In an instant, Yamamoto understood.

Why did Li Yunlong suddenly launch an attack at night, and why did he make such a big commotion at night, dispatching nearly a hundred tanks and nearly ten thousand troops to encircle one of his positions, just to annihilate his two brigades.

It's all to cover these two penetrating and infiltrating teams.

Facing the sudden big move of the independent regiment, he was afraid that the other party would launch a general attack, so he mobilized the surrounding troops to approach the front line, which led to a loophole and was penetrated by these two troops.

It was exactly the same as the method he used to deal with Zhao Jiayu's base a few months ago.

Now that the interspersed penetration has been successful, then, Li Yunlong must have a bigger move next.

Just as Yamamoto's thoughts arrived here, a staff officer ran in again:
"General, the Independence Regiment has more than [-] troops. Cooperating with the tank troops, they marched along the road to Ping'an County and Pan County. They..."

While speaking, the staff officer drew two intersecting curves on the map.

"Li Yunlong is thinking..."

Seeing the two red interspersed lines like a hug, Yamamoto's pupils shrank.

Total annihilation.

His main reserves and reserves are in Yu County, where nearly 4 people have gathered, including a large number of recruits who are being trained, as well as logistics troops responsible for transporting materials. many people,
Li Yunlong's move was to wipe out all the troops surrounding Ping'an County and Pan County, and then eat them all.

"Order."

"No. 17, No. 20, fifth... Attack Tieshiling and Luojiaya, and the rest of the troops block the reinforcements of the Independent Regiment on the spot."

Yamamoto regained his composure, mobilized [-] troops to open the road in one breath, and then ordered the remaining troops to block the two wings of the Independence Regiment and reinforce the vanguard troops of Mashiling and Luojiaya.

If the connection with Yu County cannot be established, then Ping'an County and Pan County can't stand it.Even if Ping'an County can rely on a strong position to persist for a period of time, it is meaningless to defend an isolated city.

but.

Yamamoto's sharp light flashed.

No matter how fast the encircling troops on both wings are, it will take more than a day to meet up. If you want to rely on more than 2000 people, there is no fire support, no solid position, and only rely on the weapons and ammunition you carry. Under the attack of his [-] troops, Stick to one day, wishful thinking.

"Hi."

The staff quickly drafted and communicated the order.

"Report the situation here to General Shinozuka immediately."

Yamamoto said finally.

······
The battle situation in Ping'an County was passed to Taiyuan.

Ten past six in the morning.

In the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters, Shinozuka Yoshio issued an order:
"Order the Yoshino Regiment, the Kasai Regiment, the 57th Regiment stationed in Fu'an, and the Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment to set off immediately to attack Heyuan County."

"In addition, inform the North China Front Air Force that the bomber can take off in seven hours."

Under the order of Shinozuka Yoshio, three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment rushed towards Heyuan County. At the same time, ten [-]-type heavy bombers loaded with bombs also took off slowly in Beiping.

In the past year, with the rapid increase in the strength of the army, the devils retreated from the North China region, especially the Shanxi region, and left a large area of ​​​​occupied areas. The base area expanded several times, and the material economy became richer.

With stronger strength, money and goods, the intelligence capabilities of the natural troops have also been greatly improved. As soon as the devils were dispatched, the independent group received the news.

Even planes were detected, but

"Three brigades? A heavy artillery unit? Are there planes coming from Peking?"

Li Yunlong looked at the telegram sent by the headquarters, and smiled:
"The little devil is making a lot of noise."

This attack will be supported by devils from other areas. Li Yunlong has expected this for a long time, but the scale is so large, it is still a bit beyond his expectation, which makes him a little surprised.

Three infantry regiments, one heavy artillery regiment, more than 1 troops, plus an unknown number of aircraft, this strength is comparable to that of the devils who attacked Shou County.

But only surprised.

He didn't panic at all about this devil, and even looked forward to it.

There are still three battalions in Heyuan County, 77 105 howitzers have not moved, and the newly formed sixth company of tanks is also in place. Although the flying brigade has seven attack aircraft to support Zhang Dabiao and the others, three fighter jets are also ready.

"Fu'an has also been transferred?"

Ding Wei narrowed his eyes:
"Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't even want a home?"

The lifeline of the First Army, Tongpu Railway and Zhengtai Railway.

Now tens of thousands of independent regiments are threatening Ping'an County and Pan County, and the soldiers are advancing to Yu County. The Zhengtai Railway is in danger. At this time, Ding Wei was a little surprised that he dared to mobilize the Tongpu Railway garrison.

Isn't Yoshio Shinozuka afraid that other troops will take the opportunity to attack the Tongpu Railway?
"Hmph, it seems that this old devil is still not familiar with us."

Li Yunlong smiled:
"Probably, he thought he could defend it with the help of the new devil's unit near Fu'an."

"The 772 regiment seems to have been near Fu'an recently, right?"

Ding Wei asked.

"Correct."

Li Yunlong nodded:

"Also, the equipment of the 772 regiment has just been changed."

When the tank business is over, the independent regiment will be able to obtain at least 200 million tons of ammunition, nearly 772 artillery pieces, and tens of thousands of tanks and planes. Even if they cannot produce it themselves temporarily, it will be enough, so let's take the [-] regiment to familiarize themselves with the new equipment.

At the beginning of February, twelve new 105 mountain guns have been delivered to the 772 regiment.

There are also twelve 120mm heavy mortars, new general-purpose machine guns, new semi-automatic rifles, sufficient ammunition, and of course enough three-generation big mules.

After getting familiar with 772, the troops will develop tactics to adapt to the new weapon system and train enough talents, once the tank business is over.

At that time you can...
"Hahaha···"

Ding Wei was looking forward to it.

　···There was a little accident, it was yesterday.One more tonight.
