Rise from the sword

Chapter 69 Cover
"Interesting, what does Li Yunlong want to do this shit?"

Knocking on the table, Ding Wei looked at the news handed over by Li Yunlong, and touched his chin subconsciously.

Beside him, a battalion grew up and stood quietly.

"Let me attract the main force of the ghosts in Shou County to the north, that is to say, Li Yunlong wants to lead his troops through Shou County from the south, and the scale will not be small, at least 300 people..."

This is a good guess.

Attracting the devils from a county to move out is nothing more than turning the tiger away from the mountain and diverting the line of sight.

Tiaohu Lishan is to attack the county seat, but Li Yunlong's military strength is obviously unrealistic. He doesn't have ten times the troops, or heavier caliber artillery. Don't even think about the county seat. Although he is daring, Li Yunlong will not dare to attack the county seat...
Then it must be adjusted to pass through the defense area of ​​Shouxian County...

The devils in Shou County are not well defended, and the hundred and ten people pass by casually without mobilizing the devils' attention, so it is speculated that there must be more than 300 people...
"He brought a battalion of troops and wanted to pass through Shou County..."

Thinking of this, Ding Wei looked at Chenghe beside him: "Has something happened to the east of Youshou County recently?"

"East of Shou County"

Cheng He's expression remained the same: "To the east of Shou County are Meng County and Yangquan. There is no situation in Meng County, but the devils in Yangquan seem to be under martial law recently, blocking roads and prohibiting traffic, but the specific situation is not clear."

There is no radio, no telephone, and the flow of information depends entirely on mouths, so the Xinyi regiment obviously doesn't know much about it.

"The devils in Yangquan are under martial law, blocking the road, what happened over there, so Li Yunlong wanted to join in the fun..."

Ding Wei touched his chin and muttered to himself: "Also, you can make a lot of money by joining in the fun, and it's a big profit."

Who is Li Yunlong, Ding Wei knows too much...

If this guy can take a battalion to join the fun at the risk of being punished, then it must be a big business...

What the hell is going on?

After thinking for a while, Ding Wei, who had no clue, rolled his eyes and looked at Chenghe: "You said, two 60 mortars, the price of one thousand 60 mortar shells, mobilize a brigade of devils in Shou County. Come out for two laps, and you will be reimbursed for [-] rounds of ammunition, should this business be done?"

"I will do it" Chenghe's tone was calm.

"Ha ha·····"

Ding Wei grinned: "Go, gather the first battalion, and also bring the artillery company, this time I will lead the team..."

"You get on your horse..."

Ding Wei looked at Chenghe and squinted his eyes: "Go to the brigade or the headquarters to see, they have a lot of well-informed information there, they should know more than we do."

"Yes" Cheng He saluted and went down to gather the team.

An hour later, the new [-]st regiment and [-]st battalion were assembled, along with the new artillery company commander, Wang Chengzhu.

"Captain, what are we doing here?" Wang Chengzhu ran to Ding Wei and asked.

As an old man brought out by former Li Yunlong, Wang Chengzhu originally wanted to return to Li Yunlong's hands, but after staying in the new regiment for a while, he was a little reluctant to part with the artillery company, and the new regiment commander was also good, his temper was right, and he treated him well. Good, just stay.

Everywhere is anti-Japanese, anyway, they are all in the same army...
"Go and help the old head," Ding Wei responded with a smile.

"Help Captain Li?" Wang Chengzhu was taken aback.

"Your old head, my old friend's big cover"

"Work hard this time, wait for the cannonballs to hit more accurately"

Patting Wang Chengzhu's shoulder, Ding Wei said earnestly: "If we're done, our regiment will be able to get a thousand more shells..."

This is a good gunner...
Ding Wei was very satisfied with the gunner he had left behind, and it was not a waste of time for him and Li Yunlong to grind their tongues for so long.

"Yes"

Wang Chengzhu saluted excitedly.

······
To the north of Shou County, eleven miles away from the center of the county, there is a devil's fort.

The building is three stories high, built with thick bluestone bricks, with searchlights on the top floor, several machine gun openings on the second and third floors, and a trench two meters deep and three meters wide, connected by a suspension bridge.

Half a squad of devils and more than a dozen puppet troops are stationed here, responsible for monitoring nearby villages and roads, as well as guarding against guerrilla attacks.

But today, the ghost squad leader stationed here hid behind the shooting observation hole, sneered at the Eighth Route Army looking at the gathering in the distance, and taunted the corner of his mouth: "These bastards want to die again?"

It wasn't that he was attacked once or twice. Wasn't that time when he was beaten to death and retreated in despair?

How many people are there?Without heavy weapons, what can he do?

Not that he suffered heavy losses under the fire of his five machine guns.

Even if they risked their lives to rush down to the gun tower, facing the three-meter-wide trench and the five-meter-high gun tower, there was no way to do anything but leave the corpses on the ground and retreat.

"All prepare, shoot when this group of guerrillas enters 300 meters, and hunt freely..." the little devil's team leader ordered.

The gun towers are equipped with old crooked handles, and the best aim is around 300 meters. After that, the accuracy will drop a lot.It was a pity for the leader of the Devil squad that the attacking Eighth Route Army stopped at a distance of 400 meters and began digging covertly, leaving him no chance to shoot.

"Want to besiege?"

Seeing this situation, the little devil still did not panic, and even continued to sneer.

He has seven days of food and water reserves in his gun turret, will he be afraid of siege?
Moreover, as long as he made a phone call or sent a signal gun, the brigade in the city would be able to support him. Unless the guerrillas of several hundred people wanted to be wiped out, they would have to retreat obediently.

"Humph, labor and capital are here to play with you today..."

Looking at the devil's blockhouse 400 meters away, especially Ding Wei sneered: "Are you all ready?"

"Ready"

"Ready"

Answer several times at the same time.

Beside Ding Wei, Wang Chengzhu was playing with one of his 60 mortars, and there were fifteen more neatly arranged on the bunker that had just been excavated, and the muzzles of the guns were collectively aimed at the Guizi's gun turret.

"400 meters, this distance is not enough for the devil's crooked handle, but our new Czech style has not decreased much"

Ding Wei pointed to the Guizi Cannon Tower in the distance and said:
"Aim at their shooting holes and use them as live-fire training. Hit me hard without saving bullets. Wang Chengzhu, I will give you [-] shells and blow up their searchlights. The gun turrets were completely surrounded, and their telephone lines were cut."

"The second battalion is preparing for geotechnical excavation, even if it is acting, it must show its momentum..."

"Yes···"

Da da da···

The machine gun fired first, and there was plenty of light during the day, and the devil's firing hole was clearly visible from 400 meters away. With a burst of short bursts of violent fire, a series of bullets hit the firing hole of the gun tower, and a piece of gravel sprang up, terrified behind the shooting hole. The devil hurriedly hid.

"Top, second shooting hole"

Hiding behind the bunker, Ding Wei held up his binoculars and excitedly instructed the machine gunners to shoot the shooting holes with devils, and had a great time.

The Czech-style accuracy from the system is extraordinary. At a distance of 400 meters, an excellent machine gunner can spread the bullets no more than three meters. With continuous shooting, there will always be bullets that can hit the shooting hole the size of a human chest, and even occasionally It can also hit the devil inside.

"Baga, shoot, shoot..."

Seeing that a machine gunner was shot in the shoulder, the captain of the devil squad shouted back.

But a devil raised his machine gun before firing a few shots. The fireworks at the muzzle immediately attracted more than a dozen Czech-style suppression. Hundreds of bullets came and the unlucky machine gunner was shot in the forehead and died on the spot.

Boom... At this moment, Wang Chengzhu opened fire.

At only 400 meters, he naturally hit the first shot, and a 1.5 mortar shell weighing 60 kilograms exploded on the top of the gun tower.

Mortars with low initial velocity, low projectile strength, and low penetration cannot cause structural damage to the Guizi Fortress, but the 60 mortar shells from the system have a charge of 300 grams of high-explosive black Sokin, and their power is comparable to that of the Republic of China. The 82 mortar was fired, and the violent explosion still blew the searchlights and other facilities on the top floor to pieces, and even the bombed artillery tower was shaking.

"Lieutenant, the searchlight on the top floor is broken..."

"Lieutenant, our telephone line has been cut short..."

'Lieutenant, the enemy started digging at us on the left...'

The explosion on the top floor continued. Wang Chengzhu hit the top floor with precision one after another. Occasionally, it missed and exploded on the outer wall of the turret. The Guizi turret, which was suppressed by fifteen excellent Czech machine guns under the command of Ding Wei, was almost unable to counterattack. .

"Quick, launch a flare, and ask for help from Colonel Kuroshima..."

Faced with bad news, especially when several machine gunners in the gun tower were injured or even killed, the Guizi team leader finally panicked and hurriedly asked the Shouxian Guizi Brigade for help.

"Haha, it's cool to bully people with superior firepower..."

Ding Wei felt refreshed when he saw the devil who was hiding inside the gun tower and didn't dare to show it.

He attacked the Guizi Fortress, killed one devil, wounded two or three devils, and had no casualties on his own side. He had never fought such a smooth battle.

But only here.

After fighting for half an hour, he consumed more than 3000 bullets to achieve such a small result. It took a thousand rounds to injure one devil. According to previous calculations, it was definitely a bloody business.

If you really attack the turret, the casualties will definitely be huge.

To have these results, it is entirely due to the advantage of this weapon and the carelessness of the devil.

If the devil really hid in the gun tower and waited for the attacking troops to get close before shooting, then he would definitely not be able to suppress the devil's machine gun in the gun tower with a machine gun position 400 meters away.

"Report, the ghosts in Shou County have been dispatched. About 400 people are coming towards us along the road. The forward is expected to arrive here in an hour," a cavalry signaler reported the news.

"Haha, the devil is out"

"Our mission accomplished"

Ding Wei smiled all over his face: "Wang Chengzhu, continue shelling, slow down, machine guns continue to suppress, notify all troops, continue to set up positions, but immediately retreat to the mountains after 10 minutes..."
