Rise from the sword

Chapter 511 Ping An County!
"····Hi"

Hearing Yamamoto's prediction, the panic on the staff officer's face disappeared, and he was stunned for a long time before reacting, and quickly said:

"The Eighth Route Army attacking Pan County used a large-caliber mortar. The caliber is temporarily unknown, but its power is comparable to the Empire's 240 howitzers. It can easily destroy the concrete bunker fortifications with one shot."

"Currently, the fortifications outside Pan County have been destroyed."

The devil's 240 howitzer projectile weighs close to 240 kilograms, while the Soviet-style 130 mortar projectile weighs only [-] kilograms. In theory, the two sides are not of the same order of magnitude at all.

Far from it.

But the system produced, unreasonable.

The Xiaoguizi 240 projectiles are loaded with inferior Shitose explosives, and the filling coefficient is still low, while the mortar projectiles produced by the system, high-hardness steel projectiles, plus a large filling coefficient, are high-quality RDX explosives.

The two sides just hit a tie.

Moreover, the 240 mortar projectile with a high-hardness steel body has some advantages in the ability to attack fortified areas.

"Comparable to a 240 howitzer."

The corner of Yamamoto's mouth twitched, and he continued to ask calmly:
"How many doors?"

"Ten gates."

The staff officer bowed his head and answered.

Hearing the number, Yamamoto rubbed his forehead for a long time before sighing deeply:

"Order Tanaka to withdraw."

Ten, heavy artillery comparable to 240 howitzers, there is no fortification in Pan County.

Without the strong bunker fortifications, Pan County continued to hold on, nothing more than spending a little more ammunition with human life, but the opponent was an independent regiment that could waste 10,000+ rounds of shells, which was meaningless.

Although relying on the tunnel behind the mountain, it is not a problem to persist for a period of time, but the fortifications in Pan County are not perfect enough, so it is better to concentrate our forces in Ping'an County.

"General."

The staff officer continued to report:

"Pan County has been surrounded by the Independent Regiment. The enemy's two brigades have moved to the rear of Pan County at high speed through tracked vehicles, cutting off the retreat route of the Pan County garrison."

Mechanization····

Yamamoto was stunned for a long time.

Finally, he sighed again:

"Let Yamada come over."

The leader of the first combat team had to be changed again.

······
at the same time.

Pan County.

"All the troops in the city retreated to the back mountain."

Hearing the news of being surrounded, Tanaka decisively gave up the idea of ​​breaking out.

He is very clear.

Although Pan County still has more than 2000 troops and sufficient ammunition, it lacks heavy weapons and offensive capabilities. With the firepower and support speed of the independent regiment, even if there are only [-] people blocking the way, breaking out is no different from suicide.

Among other things, the artillery of the independent regiment on the commanding heights of the mountainous area behind was a hurdle he could not overcome.

It is better to rely on the tunnels and ground fortifications in the back mountain of Pan County to resist.

The complex tunnels connected to the ground fortifications can minimize the advantages of advanced weapons and powerful firepower. If the independent regiment wants to destroy the imperial soldiers hiding in the tunnels, it must send infantry down, creating a situation of hand-to-hand combat.

This can buy a lot of time, and it can also deal with the strength of independent regiments.

Although he didn't know what gaining this little time would do, there would be no reinforcements and no hope, it was just delaying the time of death.

"Hi."

The staff officer quickly went to convey the order.

"Pity."

Looking at the departing staff officer, Tanaka sighed faintly.

In the current situation, he actually wanted to surrender.

As General Yamamoto's confidant and the leader of the first combat team of the secret service team, he naturally knows that the situation in the empire is now severe, and the jihad has no chance of winning, and failure will happen sooner or later.

He didn't want to break the jade for the emperor.

It is said that Tubalu treated those who surrendered fairly well.

Many recruits who couldn't bear the crazy training and brainwashing committed suicide, and a small number fled to the base of the independent regiment. Although they were guarded and their movements were restricted there, they lived a good life.

It's just that in the battle with the imperial army, the independent regiment never surrendered, only attacked, always attacked, opened fire when they met, unless they took the initiative to lead the team to surrender, otherwise they would all be wiped out.

As a commander, he was always surrounded by a large group of people. As long as he showed any intention of surrendering, the group of still fanatical officers would definitely shoot him immediately.

"Hey, damn bushido, damn the emperor, damn the empire."

Tanaka cursed:

"Damn Yamamoto."

······
"All the devils hid in the tunnels behind the mountain?"

Hearing the report from the frontline scouting soldiers, Fang Yuanshan sneered suddenly:
"The little devil thinks very well."

With the help of tunnels, in theory, it can indeed delay the time, and even have the opportunity to cause a large number of casualties of the attacking troops.

The narrow tunnels can disperse the attacker's forces, weaken the advantage of firepower, and create a situation of hand-to-hand combat. The complex and changeable environment will also make the attacker lose sight of one thing and be plotted against by the devils hiding in the tunnel.

To put it simply, it is to use the terrain to force the attacker to use refueling tactics.

But well!
This move is still a mantis' arm.

"Order the troops, occupy the ground positions, and be careful of the dark guns of the devils."

Fang Yuanshan waved his hand:

"Wait for the frontline troops to completely occupy the ground, and then let the tanker come up."

Isn't the little devil hiding in the tunnel?Then burn it, directly fill it with gasoline, and then blow it in with a blower. If you find that the vent hole is blocked with cement, if it still doesn't work, then just go straight.

Solve with equivalent.

Dig a deep pit, stuff in a hundred tons of explosives, detonate, and see if these tunnels can hold up.

"Yes."

Following Fang Yuanshan's order, the troops continued to attack.

First, the heavy artillery opened the way and destroyed all the positions that could be seen on the ground, including the openings of the suspected tunnels. Then, under the cover of the tanks, the infantry slowly approached and occupied the positions step by step.

When I found a tunnel, it was either burned by gasoline, blocked directly, or collapsed by high-yield explosives. Anyway, I just didn’t go in.

During this period, the devils saw that the situation was not good, and kept rushing out of the tunnel to make surprise attacks, and even launched counterattacks. However, facing the independent regiment with superior firepower, the effect was not obvious, and they were quickly wiped out.

In this way, the ground position was eroded bit by bit.

During this period, Tanaka, who had no intention of fighting, was also buried in the collapsed tunnel.

However, relying on this trick, the little devil also successfully delayed the attack of the right wing of the independent regiment, which resulted in the failure of the two wing troops to gather in Ping'an County at the scheduled time.

However, the general trend was unstoppable. Even if the left wing led by Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County alone, after joining the first battalion and the second battalion, they still easily captured Ping'an County at a relatively small cost.

Of course, with the roar of heavy artillery, not only the bunkers and fortifications built by the devils in Pingan County were destroyed, but almost the entire county town was destroyed.

The entire Ping'an County was blasted to the ground.

When the last group of devils who were stubbornly resisting in the mountains were wiped out, the time has come to March [-]th.

······
the next day.

That is March [-]th.

Ping An County.

Inside the newly built independent regiment headquarters.

In March, the supplies doubled again, and the abundant supplies allowed Zhao Gang to completely let go.

On the first day of the month, before the battle was completely over, the road from Zhaojiayu to Pingan County started again, and it was expanded into a six-lane road, and even directly used cement concrete roads.

"Pity."

In the new regiment headquarters in the rough room style, Li Yunlong cursed:

"Let the old devil Yamamoto run away."

Because the right-wing troops were blocked by Pan County and failed to encircle Ping'an County, before Li Yunlong led the left wing to attack Ping'an County, Kazuki Yamamoto saw that the situation was not good, and led some troops to retreat to Yu County through a small road.

This made Li Datuan very heartbroken, he still wanted to kill Yamamoto Kazuki!

"Let him bounce around for a while longer."

Zhao Gang was calm, with a smile on his lips.

After the troops occupied Ping'an County and Pan County, the situation in the base area was completely opened up. With a lot of flat terrain, he could let go of his hands and feet to build industrial areas and develop the economy.

It is also suitable for people from other provinces to migrate here.

"Too."

Li Yunlong snorted and also smiled.

Actual combat is actual combat after all, and it has an excellent effect on tempering troops.

After this war, a large number of outstanding grassroots officers and cadres emerged from the Independent Regiment, and the troops thoroughly mastered various advanced equipment.

In the artillery unit, a large number of elite artillery units emerged, the level of which was comparable to that of Yan Sheng, and all kinds of school shooting were well-versed. Tank units and sharp car units rushed out one after another.

After a while, when the troops fully digest the experience of this battle, the independent regiment will usher in a reborn.

By that time, there will be absolutely no such thing as blowing up dozens of tanks by mere death squads.

"Has the casualty statistics come out?"

Zhao Gang asked.

Although the overall situation was smooth, there were still flaws in some parts. The effect of the devil's stubborn resistance was somewhat unexpected, which caused a lot of trouble for the independent group, and the casualties were not small.

Fortunately, the new hospital has been established, and the technical level is extremely high. Most of the soldiers can return to the team, and many wounded who could not be saved before have survived.

"good."

Li Yunlong said:
"Counting non-combat attrition, including logistics, the total casualties of the troops are 530 and 320, of which 370 soldiers died, and [-] are still seriously injured."

Including logistics personnel, that is, the transport brigade, the total number of troops participating in the independent regiment exceeds 5.

"The casualties are almost one-tenth."

Zhao Gang sighed with emotion.

The number of casualties was somewhat beyond his expectations. With the overwhelmingly superior weapons and equipment and logistical supplies, the casualties of the Independent Regiment were still so huge, which made him deeply understand the importance of education.

Advanced weapons have higher requirements on the fighters who operate them, and this is the short board of the base area, and also the short board of the entire country.

Lack of talent.

At the same time, he also made up his mind that he must establish an advanced education system for the country in the future.

"The casualties this time are indeed a bit large, beyond the pre-war expectations."

"The little devil's fighting ability is really not bad, and we are still a little unskilled in new weapons, but this figure is acceptable."

Seeing that his partner was depressed, Li Yunlong offered a word of comfort, and asked with some doubts:
"Old Zhao, what's the matter with you?"

After going through so many battles, the two of them cannot be said to be as hard as a rock. After all, how can a person be as hard as a rock without emotion, but they are also used to life and death, can face it calmly, and are even ready to sacrifice themselves.

"fine."

Commissar Zhao waved his hand and changed the subject:
"How many devils have you killed so far?"

After eliminating the last devil near Ping'an County yesterday, Boss Chen came again, but he happened to be away.

"It's two hundred short of fifty thousand."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong was immediately happy.

"fifty thousand!"

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up.

For the tank business, there was no other price tag at 200, but Boss Chen said at the time that once the independent group killed the devils and reached [-], he would provide a steelmaking plant with an annual output of [-] million tons, with a full set of steel rolling equipment, and an additional [-] A master technician, as well as oxygen bottom blowing steelmaking technology.

"Then hurry up."

Zhao Gang urged immediately.

Whether it's steelworks equipment or fifty masters, they are all in urgent need of him.

"Hahaha···"

Li Yunlong laughed loudly:
"Zhang Dabiao has already led people to set off, and it is estimated that tomorrow will be fine."

Ping'an County has been occupied, and now the next step is to take back Shou County, and occupy Xiyang by the way, and eliminate [-] devils during the period, every minute.

"By the way, what are you going to do next?"

Before leaving, Zhao Gang suddenly asked.

Once the Independent Regiment occupies Shou County and Xiyang, then, in the entire Jin area, the devils will only have Taiyuan, Yangquan, Yu County, Niangziguan and other lonely Zhengtai Lines, and the rest will be the territory of the troops.

The little devils are concentrated in a long and narrow protrusion.

Oh, by the way, there is also the nominal theater commander, Yan Laoxi's Jinsui Army still occupies some small counties.

"After the old injury on Lu*'s leg is healed, he has already passed his Qi."

Li Yunlong clenched his fist fiercely:
"As long as we continue to attract materials, the devils will definitely not be willing to give up. Maybe they will continue to increase their troops. When the war starts in the south, we will directly make dumplings for the entire Jin area, and then continue north."

"North? Good idea."

Zhao Gang nodded.

Judging from the recent movements of the devils, a war in the coastal area is imminent.

To the north, a key problem can be solved, the lack of iron ore, and the small iron mine in Heyuan County obviously cannot meet the consumption of 150 million tons of steel plants.And according to the map provided by Boss Chen, there are many high-quality iron mines where the devils stationed in Mongolia.

······
a few days later.

Zhengtai Railway, Yu County.

"Did the independent regiment launch an attack?"

Looking at the information he just received, Yamamoto racked his brains and couldn't figure it out. He still had enough power, so why didn't he continue to attack and completely cut off the Zhengtai line?

"Hi."

The staff officer who reported said:
"According to Yangquan's intelligence, the tank unit of the Independent Regiment was found in Shou County. Currently, Shou County has been occupied by the Independent Regiment, and it is attacking Xiyang."

"Shou County!"

Yamamoto frowned.

He didn't expect that Li Yunlong would leave Zhengtai Railway alone and go to occupy Shou County.

After thinking for a while, Yamamoto changed his tone:
"How is the recent oil collection situation?"

If he guessed correctly...

"There are more and more. Although there is no sale on the surface, as long as you go through those few independent regiment members, you can easily buy marine heavy fuel oil. The more you buy, they even give away some ordinary gasoline."

The staff officer's answer made Yamamoto's heart sink.

Recently, after learning that he can get a lot of heavy fuel, the imperial army in the Nanyang region and even the navy have formed teams dedicated to snatching machinery and equipment in exchange for fuel.

　. . . . .

　　Ping'an County War wrote a bunch, and then deleted it directly!
　　吐了
　　Yamamoto let him go for the time being, otherwise there would be no perspective for the follow-up plot.
