Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 170 The battle of Yushe is over!

September 23, Yushe area

The brigade commander personally commanded the battle, and no one would question the outcome of the battle.In the eyes of comrades, victory is only a matter of time.

Considering that the siege force is really a little surplus, there are four main regiments in the [-]th Brigade alone, so that there is a situation where the width of the battlefield is not enough.

In order to give full play to the superiority of its troops, the brigade commander dispatched an independent regiment and a new regiment, and asked these two regiments to ambush at the road pass around Yushe to block possible reinforcements.

Most of the enemy's main reinforcements were surrounded by Brigadier Fan with the New 10th Brigade and the Three Desperate Columns.

As a result, the two brothers Ding Wei and Kong Jie could only pick up the small fish that leaked from other directions.

It has been more than ten hours since the second stage of the Hundred Regiments War, and their two regiments have only fought ten ambushes.

Because the weapons and equipment produced by the Yellow River greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the number of devils who came to support them was at most two squadrons, which made Ding and Kong fight very smoothly.

The Independent Regiment and Xinyi Regiment even took the initiative to attack once without missing any enemy, and caught the devils by surprise.

But the days of ease are over after all, and the two encountered a difficult bone a few hours ago.

It was a group of enemies starting from the direction of Shouyang. They divided their forces to reduce the risk of exposure. They came to the Yushe area through various paths and assembled again. Finally, they forcibly assembled a large group of troops.

After repelling the new wave of devils' attack, Ding Wei looked at the retreating enemy with a telescope on a hilltop.He shrugged his shoulders with disdain, and then said to Kong Jie beside him:
"It seems that Lao Li's mission has been successfully completed. We have been fighting for so long and haven't seen a single plane."

"Why do you think this kid has changed so much? I can't keep up with his current brain circuit."

Kong Jie on the side was also observing with a telescope, but he was looking at the sunny sky.After hearing the words of his old comrade-in-arms, he sat on the empty ammunition box, took out a captured cigarette and sniffed it.

"What else could be the reason? It must be secretly studying. All day long, I keep saying that I'm a fart, and I'm more active than anyone else behind my back."

"I wondered at the time, this kid didn't even get a place in the reserve team, so he didn't have a temper at all. If it wasn't for their political commissar Zhao's mention, we would still be kept in the dark."

"Making a fortune in silence is something that Li Yunlong can do. But thanks to him, our two regiments can let go of their hands and feet and fight the devils with real knives and guns."

If this sniper battle was held in the past, the Devils would definitely use the combination of infantry and artillery with the cover of landing aircraft.

Even if they could hold their positions at that time, the casualties of their two regiments would probably not be small.

After all, they are pure infantry and lack air defense means, so they will definitely suffer in a fight.In the face of enemy aircraft, the soldiers have almost nothing to do.Once there is horizontal bombing and dive strafing, everyone has to find a way to hide.

The situation is much better now, the Taiyuan Airport has been taken away by Li Yunlong, and they have no worries at all.

The soldiers have high morale and sufficient ammunition, and there is even an improved version of the Type 60 infantry gun and several [-]mm mortars.

Combined with French light weapons and a pre-arranged position, even if an alliance of devils is attacking on the opposite side, Ding Kong and Ding Kong are confident that they will not lose the wind in a short time.

Boom×N!
Da×N!
While the two were talking, the devil organized a new round of attack, and the firepower of the two sides in the distance began to contact.

Unlike the previous few times, this time the opponent was obviously impatient, as if he had received some death order from his superiors.Even the steps of probing were omitted, and all the troops were directly pressed.

All the devil infantry began to attack the defense lines of the two regiments in a skirmish line.

However, the hole cards of this group of devils also brought some troubles to the independent group and the new group.Unexpectedly, there was an artillery survey team in the improvised brigade.

Originally, only specialized artillery brigades had this kind of arms, and they could draw the shooting area into a precise grid coordinate table.

During the battle, the devil's artillery observer only needs to work in the picture to find out the precise shooting elements, so that he can directly launch a surprise attack without test firing.

Coupled with two low Type [-] infantry guns, the Devil's artillery, like ghosts, kept firing at Ding Kong's position in the shooting pit, blowing up the solid earthworks to pieces.

At the same time, Xiaotian's grenadiers and heavy machine guns began to suppress the mobile firepower of the two regiments, and the light machine guns fired and wiped out the defensive fighters of the two regiments.

This powerful firepower and precise coordination really opened up a hole for the infantry to charge.

"Interesting, enjoyable! This is decent! I said how could a big team be so weak!"

But the short-term decline did not make Kong Jie panic. As a mountain expert, defensive master, and unyielding defender, he has already made a series of preparations.

The soldiers relied on the remaining fortifications to block the attack layer by layer, sold a small amount of space to lure the enemy to go deep, and then concentrated their firepower to eat the enemy's protrusions in one go.

The mortars and grenades of the two regiments fully embody the theory of mobility. The artillerymen are dedicated to attacking the devil's forward troops, trying to reduce the enemy's infantry.

In order to prevent the opponent's artillery from retaliating, they moved their weapons every time they fired two artillery pieces. Even if there were observers and survey teams in the small days, they could not do anything with the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

Coupled with the condescending terrain and a large number of defensive grenades, the number of casualties of the devils has risen.

This time, the little days still couldn't get close to the main positions of the two regiments. They were unable to attack just after taking the outer positions and could only reluctantly retreat.

The two [-]-type infantry artillery that threatened the position the most were also discovered by the artillery of the new regiment.

The artillery company commander who freed his hand fired a wave of rapid fire at the shooting pit with a distressed face, but unfortunately he did not kill the opponent's artillery position.

After all the enemies retreated, Ding Wei took Kong Jie back to the battlefield command post. He said to his old comrades excitedly:
"The defense depends on you, old Kong! If you move to the northeast with your level, even Zhukov will have nothing to do with the troops under your command."

"The devils don't have air force support today, so we two brothers can have a good fight! Although the enemy only has one brigade, the fat that comes to your door must be eaten!"

"Don't take the command of the attack from me in a while, I'm going to organize a wave of counterattacks! Take them down completely!"

Kong Jie nodded. He knew that he was not as talented as Ding Wei in terms of offense, and he had to hand over professional matters to more professional people.However, he pulled out his big blade from behind, and said viciously towards the devil's position:

"You will command the overall situation, and I will bring the commandos of our two regiments up."

"Since I was trained by the brigade commander after I beat Kazuki Yamamoto, I haven't cut off the devil's head in an attack for a long time! By the way, I will try this submachine gun again!"

Seeing the murderous look of his old comrade-in-arms, Ding Wei shrank his neck and prepared to persuade him.It's not poor anymore, haha, there's no need to fight hand-to-hand with devils.

Just as he was about to introduce the American Juhe to Kong Jie, a cavalry correspondent quickly ran over and said to the two, "Commander Ding! Commander Kong! There are new orders from the brigade!"

The two turned their heads in doubt, and looked at the panting correspondent.

"What's the rush? Has the situation in Yushe changed?"

Ding Wei took the warrant handed over by the other party, and then said in disbelief: "The Brigadier is still amazing, Yushe County has been occupied, this is too fast."

"Old Kong, the higher-ups let us stop for another day before we can retreat. This second stage is much smoother than the first stage!"

Although my immediate boss won a battle, this is something to be happy about.But the sense of participation of the two is a bit low, far from the previous stage.

After receiving the news, Kong Jie slapped his big blade on the table, looking a little regretful.

"Hurry up! Lao Ding, let's prepare to attack! Otherwise, we won't even be able to drink this soup, and we will be laughed at by that bastard Li Yunlong again!"

--------------

Just when Ding Kong and Ding Kong were preparing to attack in a hurry, the brigade commander and his chief of staff each held a command knife and were taking pictures at various places on the battlefield.

After the second phase of the operation, these photos will become first-hand publicity materials and be published in major newspapers.

Yushe is an important cornerstone of the devil's cage policy, and it is also an important warehouse for them in the southeast of Shanxi.Even though Xiaotian knew that the Eighth Route Army had the ability to attack the city, he was still prepared to stand by and wait for help.

It's a pity that in the face of real strength, no matter how hard the devil tries, it's useless.

With the loss of Army Aviation and all reinforcements being held back, they only lasted for a dozen hours.It was because the brigade commander only attacked during the day, otherwise the battle would have ended in three hours.

The devils in Yushe County have two reliances, one is the solid city wall, and the other is the two large blockhouses at the east gate and the northwest corner.

Bunkers can only bully troops without heavy firepower. In the past, regiment-level units could only rely on explosive kits to break the situation.But what is the status of the [-]th Brigade, one of the six main brigades of the Eighth Route Army.

Since 21, the brigade commander has collected and seized a total of [-] mountain artillery and infantry artillery.

Before there was no Yellow River, they would be reluctant to use it because of the lack of shells. Now that the shells are guaranteed, they can be built directly!The bunkers were completely blown up that night.

Then it was time for the 772nd and 16th regiments to play, and they easily cleaned up the periphery of Yushe County.

Not to mention the city wall, with the combat experience provided by the new second regiment, all the fighters of the four main regiments know how to deal with it, and how far the ladder can roll.

When attacking the city wall, Cheng Xiazi wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the brigade commander stopped him and spoke out his tactics earnestly.

"Cheng Shifa, as a general, you are good at everything, but your heart is not dark enough. You have to learn this from your old squad leader, and try to pretend to be bad!"

"Let me ask you, do the enemies always think that our Eighth Route Army likes to attack at night, and do they dare not sleep at night?"

This problem is very simple, devils are very dependent on firepower.However, the Eighth Route Army lacked heavy firepower before, and would suffer heavy losses in a head-on confrontation with the devils.

When facing those difficult enemies, attacking at night will lose less damage than attacking during the day.

After hearing the Brigadier's question, Cheng Xiazi nodded without thinking, and immediately understood what the other party meant.

"I see! We can use each other's empiricism to make a fuss. Let the soldiers have a good rest at night, and harass the little days from time to time."

"After dawn, launch an attack when the devils are most tired! Catch them off guard!"

Seeing Cheng Xiazi go on the road like this, the brigade commander nodded in satisfaction, and then waved his hand to signal the other party to act quickly.

That night, except for a small number of soldiers who monitored the enemy's harassment, all comrades were recharging their energy and preparing for tomorrow's siege.

At dawn the next day, the spirited fighters launched an attack when the devils were most sleepy.The [-]nd Regiment stepped forward, and the [-]-type infantry artillery accurately hit the gate tower of the east gate.

Immediately after that, all kinds of guns rang out, and Yushe City was immediately enveloped by the sound of guns and thick smoke.

After several holes were blasted in the city wall, dozens of bugles sounded together.

Thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had been waiting in full force for a long time, rushed towards the enemy's city wall like a tide amidst the earth-shattering shouts of "Come on!"

The remaining devils in the city retreated to the core fortifications of Yushe Middle School.

Yushe Middle School is located in the east of the city. There are deep ditches on three sides. The walls of the ditch are smooth and impossible to climb. The enemy has set up several barbed wire fences around the edge of the ditch.

On the campus, the enemy built eight bunkers to support each other. It is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the devils even released poison gas.

It's a pity that all the members of the four main offensive regiments were equipped with gas masks, coupled with powerful firepower, they were shut up and beaten, and died one by one in bunker-shaped coffins.

In the end, the remaining 20 devils, in order to show their loyalty to the locust, collectively sang and set themselves on fire, presenting a wonderful curtain call performance for the [-]th Brigade in the second phase of the Hundred Regiments War.

The enemy was very polite in this battle, leaving three mountain cannons and four [-]-type infantry cannons to the [-]th Brigade, as well as Japanese-style ammunition and food that can be used for half a year.

After the battle, the brigade commander looked at the casualty statistics sent by the various troops.

The loss in this battle was very small, it can be said to be a big victory, and the result made him smile.

Thinking of not being harassed by the devil's fighter jets during the attack, the brigade commander pulled the thin staff officer beside him and said:

"Li Yunlong did a good job this time. He took care of a troublesome matter for us. Let's go, follow me to the New Second Regiment and see if this bastard is back."

Suddenly mentioning the new second regiment, the skinny staff officer looked at his partner out of the corner of his eye, showing an expression of great interest.

"Why did you go to the New Second Regiment? Did you forget that the deputy chief of staff kept everyone in the know secret? What? The chief agent couldn't help it?"

　Does anyone have a guess, how I plan to strengthen Li Yunlong
