People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 115 Give Lao Li Artillery Support
A series of combat orders began to be conveyed from the front-line brigade headquarters of the Japanese army, and the various units of the Japanese and puppet troops received different combat orders and immediately launched operations.

The machine gun brigade gathered [-] heavy machine guns and continued to shoot fiercely at the new regiment's position in Yangcun.

Thirty rounds of ammunition were fired one after another, and the dense bullets fell on the position like raindrops from a torrential rain.

The mortar brigade assembled twenty 90MM mortars, and even though the new regiment of light and heavy machine guns kept moving, they still started shelling immediately.

A round of grenades were fired one after another, and the deafening explosion sounded continuously.

At the same time, the twelve artillery pieces of the artillery team were also bombarded under the command of Lieutenant Captain Koichi Mori, and a large number of shells fell accurately on various parts of the position.

The five independent infantry brigades also assembled [-] heavy machine guns to shoot at the front line at close range, and the Japanese heavy weapons began to focus their fire on the attack.

The infantry on the front line were scattered in different areas to hide, and grenades were quickly thrown towards the position.

About [-] troops of the Royal Association Army began to attack, and they directly circled from the flanks, preparing for an outflank attack.

Crooked handle light machine guns and Japanese-style grenade grenades fired continuously.

In particular, many little devil riflemen began to launch precise bursts, and they quickly brought casualties to the new regiment.

The Xinyi regiment's position was suppressed by the fierce Japanese firepower, and the soldiers were unable to launch effective firepower interception for a while.

As soon as several soldiers raised their heads and wanted to aim and shoot, they were attacked by bullets and died on the spot.

Li Yunlong hid in the trench, listening to the violent gunfire outside, couldn't help frowning tightly.

Even if a heavy machine gun didn't fire, a grenade happened to fall nearby. The heavy machine gun was hit by shrapnel, and it was damaged immediately, making it unable to shoot.

"Regimental Commander, the second devil is rushing over from the flank, and they are less than 500 meters away from the flank of the third battalion."

"And now the little devils are gradually moving towards the third battalion. They seem to be preparing to attack the third battalion."

A cadre quickly came to Li Yunlong's side and hurriedly reported.

Zhang Dabiao's first battalion is the number one main battalion, so the overall weapons and equipment are naturally equipped with a little more.

The second and third battalions currently only have two light machine guns and two grenadiers in each platoon, which is much worse than the first battalion.

The Japanese and puppet troops are currently gradually moving towards the third battalion, trying to break through from here.

Nine hundred puppet troops advanced and attacked from the flanks, while more than 800 little devils assembled and attacked from the front.

While the cadres were reporting, the firepower of the Japanese army changed.

90MM mortars and 75MM mountain artillery field artillery began to attack the third battalion.

A large number of shells were fired towards the third battalion, and the thick gunpowder smoke instantly covered the third battalion's position.

Li Yunlong raised his binoculars to observe the situation of the third battalion. He couldn't help frowning, with a serious expression on his face.

"Damn it, the second ghost has come to join in the fun, it's obvious that we are bullying our old Li because we don't have enough troops."

"Regimental Commander, I will go there with a company to help, and I will definitely be able to assist the third battalion to hold the position with all my strength!"

Standing aside, Zhang Dabiao took the initiative to ask for a fight.

The first battalion is stronger than the other two battalions in terms of weaponry and combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the third battalion position was about to be violently attacked, Zhang Dabiao naturally had to express it.

The main force has the best soldiers and the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, and they naturally undertake the most combat tasks.

At critical times, they also want to be fire brigades, and they will go wherever there is danger.

"The little devil is waiting for you to maneuver. This is the usual strategy of the little devil."

"The first battalion and the second battalion don't move, stick to the position, and the machine guns can properly fire sideways to support the third battalion."

"Commander, contact Sun Desheng's cavalry company and Wang Chengzhu's artillery platoon, and ask them to support the third battalion."

"Tell Sun Desheng that the cavalry company will conduct a long-distance roundabout and attack from behind the second devil's ass."

"Let them go to the combat area on horseback, and then dismount and fight on foot!"

Li Yunlong shook his head and directly rejected Zhang Dabiao's request.

In offensive operations, the Japanese army was very good at attacking at one point, thus disrupting the overall defensive deployment of the defenders.

They will focus their fire on one point, allowing the defensive position to mobilize support.

Once the troops on the position are mobilized, the Japanese army will immediately start shelling and directly attack the reinforcements.

The soldiers hid in the trenches, which could largely offset the shelling.

But once the soldiers move and the little devils start shelling, there will definitely be greater results.

Li Yunlong has been fighting with the little devil for several years, and he is very clear about the Japanese army's routine.

So he directly mobilized the cavalry company in the rear to make a large-scale detour to avoid the Japanese artillery bombardment.

After eleven o'clock, the firepower of the Japanese heavy weapons weakened.

In fact, the little devils have limited resources, and it is impossible for them to consume ammunition for a long time in combat.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops concentrated their infantry and rushed forward quickly, preparing to open the gap from the third battalion.

The front and flanks of the third battalion were attacked at the same time, and the pressure increased instantly.

However, the first battalion and the second battalion, according to Li Yunlong's order, fired sideways with machine gun fire to provide fire support for them.

Wang Chengzhu commanded two infantry artillery, and also started shelling to support the operation.

Of course, after these firepower was exposed, they were soon suppressed and shelled by Japanese artillery.

The pressure here in the third battalion is still very high, and even some machine guns of the first and second battalions have begun to be destroyed.

Sun Desheng commanded the cavalry company to make a long-distance detour, but it has not yet reached behind the puppet army.

The defense system of Yangcun's new regiment is likely to collapse in an all-round way.

Especially here in the third battalion position, more than 1000 days of puppet troops are about to attack from the front and flanks.

Once their machine guns fire, they will be hit by Japanese mortars, mountain artillery, field artillery and even grenades.

But the machine guns didn't fire, and a large number of Japanese and puppet troops rushed over without any hindrance!

"Get ready for hand-to-hand combat!"

"Little devil, the second devil thinks that our third battalion is a rotten persimmon!"

"Let them know today that the third battalion of the new regiment is not easy to provoke!"

The commander of the third battalion drew out his bayonet, mounted it directly on the rifle, and roared angrily.

Fighting so far, they can only start hand-to-hand combat.

Of course, the third battalion currently has more than 300 troops. Facing the 600 Japanese and puppet troops, they do not have an advantage.

Once the hand-to-hand combat really starts, the positions of the three battalions will definitely be lost!
"Kill it!"

"Rush to their positions and finish them off completely."

"The Eight Routes will definitely not be our opponents, we can completely annihilate them."

On the frontal position of the third battalion, two major captains waved their sabers, and they shouted loudly.

The little devil riflemen quickly advanced towards the position as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Brothers, do you see that Taijun is about to break through the position of Tuba Road?"

"Now let's go up quickly and follow the Taijun to solve these dirt roads. This is a great achievement!"

"Tuba Road's weapons and equipment are very poor. They will definitely not be our opponents. Hurry up and rush up to me."

In the flank position of the third battalion, a puppet army officer waved his pistol and shouted loudly.

These puppet troops are very observant, and if the battle is not going well, they are as timid as a mouse.

But the battle is going well, and they will be very active, so they want to perform well in front of the Japanese army!
A large number of Japanese and puppet troops quickly advanced towards the third battalion position, but when they were only 30 meters away from the third battalion position.

There was a grenade in the distance, and it hit without any warning.

This is the precise shooting data provided by Zhou Wenbo's observation team, and Sun Xiong's artillery company immediately calibrated and shot Zhuyuan.

Six Jin orogenic cannons opened fire one after another, and one round of grenades landed precisely in the ranks of the Japanese and puppet troops.

As the grenade exploded, the shrapnel quickly spread around.

The Japanese and puppet troops advancing rapidly towards the third battalion position began to be hit by shrapnel, and fell one by one in a pool of blood.

The artillery continued to shell, and grenades were fired as if they didn't need money.

The Japanese and puppet troops were heavily shelled, and their attack was hindered.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the third battalion immediately commanded the light machine gun and rifle to fight back.

At the same time, a large number of grenades and grenades were thrown out one after another, attacking the little devil.

The weapons and equipment of the new regiment mainly rely on seizures, so they have both Japanese-style grenades and wooden-handled grenades used by the pseudo-military.

"Hey hey, Da Biao, do you see it, it's the Cannon Army!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, our new regiment is really lucky. The Cannon God Troop has provided us with artillery support again."

"I said that my eyelids have been twitching non-stop for the past few days. It turns out that Lao Li is going to make a fortune!"

Li Yunlong saw a large number of shells hitting the Japanese and puppet troops, his face was full of excitement.

"Leader, as the old saying goes, the left eye jumps for money, and the right eye jumps for disaster."

"Didn't your right eyelid twitch all the time these days..."

Zhang Dabiao was muttering to the side, but seeing Lao Li staring and trying to scold his mother, he shut his mouth tactfully.

The artillery fired continuously with six Jin orogenic cannons, strongly supporting the operations of the third battalion.

The third battalion took the opportunity to launch a fire attack, and the Japanese and puppet troops were intercepted and could not continue to advance.

Not long after, Sun Desheng commanded the cavalry company to complete the detour.

One after another Czech rifles fired from behind the puppet army, and the puppet army was caught off guard.

Commander Huang of the puppet army who commanded the battle saw this scene, and he hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw from the battlefield.

It was at this time that the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army also launched combat operations here.

Chu Yu's guard company and Zhang Wu's cavalry company attacked from both sides, and they quickly advanced towards the position built by the Japanese army.

At present, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops is fighting in the Yangcun area, but Taro Katayama has deployed enough troops to guard the 358 regiment.

The machine gun brigade left twelve heavy machine guns, and the mortar brigade left ten mortars.

They set up positions in different areas and guarded the 358th regiment.

In addition, behind them, there are two field artillery positions.

Four 14-modified field guns, four Liao-made Type [-] field guns, two types of field guns with a range of more than [-] meters, ready for shelling at any time.

The scouts of the guard company discovered the Japanese heavy machine guns and mortars, and they reported immediately.

After Chen Ziyun received the report, he immediately dispatched troops to attack without the slightest hesitation.

The guard company and the cavalry company were broken into pieces. They used squads as units and quickly advanced towards the Japanese positions, preparing to destroy these heavy machine guns and mortars.

"Da da da!"

"Everything!"

The little devil's heavy machine gun and mortar soon discovered the actions of the two companies, and they immediately launched a fire attack.

It's just that these two companies are broken into pieces at this time, and they can't completely intercept them.

What's more, the deployment positions of these Japanese troops are completely within the range of 300 meters of the Bofors Mountain Cannon of the Second Artillery Company!

As their firepower was exposed, the artillery observation post immediately locked its detailed position.

Groups of data were sent to the Second Artillery Company, and Li Yang commanded six Bofors Mountain Cannons to launch precise bombardment.

At about twelve o'clock, the guard company and the cavalry company advanced to the vicinity of the Japanese positions.

The Japanese heavy machine gun and mortar units were threatened at close range.

The artillery units of the mortars were immediately withdrawn and the transfer was carried out directly.

But when they were evacuating, they were attacked by a cavalry company, and more than 30 little devils were shot and killed.

Two 90MM mortars fell directly to the ground and became the trophy of the cavalry company.

The evacuation of the Japanese heavy machine gun units became more difficult, and they needed to cover the evacuation of the mortar units.

The Type [-] heavy machine guns were relatively heavy, and they were directly intercepted by the guard company's firepower without any troops covering them.

More than 40 little devils were shot and killed on the spot, and a heavy machine gun was discarded by the little devils on the battlefield.

But just when the guard company and the cavalry company were about to launch a pursuit to completely eat these little devils, the hidden field artillery units began to provide fire support.

Four 75 modified 14MM field guns, and four Liao-made 77-type [-]MM field guns launched bombardment.

When a grenade hit, the two companies were completely caught off guard, and more than a dozen soldiers died on the spot.

The troops immediately dispersed and concealed, and the Japanese troops took the opportunity to quickly withdraw from the battlefield.

As the eight field guns started shelling, the Japanese and puppet troops' attacks on Yangcun temporarily stopped.

Katayama Shotaro withdrew his troops. After all, the heavy weapons of the 358th Guard Regiment were repulsed.

If the Japanese and puppet troops put all their troops into the Yangcun battle at this time, once the 358 regiment launched a counterattack, they would have no troops to deal with.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese artillery units launched heavy shelling.

Six [-]-type mountain artillery and six [-]-type field artillery continued to bombard the position of the new regiment in Yangcun.

The eight long-range field guns shelled the 358 regiment.

A large number of Japanese and puppet troops retreated directly with the help of artillery cover.

And after the little devil artillery finished shelling, the frontline positions set up by the 358th regiment were destroyed again.

The eight Japanese field guns not only have a long range, but also have powerful shells, which have strong destructive and lethal power.

"Ziyun, what's the matter, the little devil still has hidden wild cannons, and their range seems to be longer."

After one o'clock, Chu Yunfei brought the Chief of Staff Fang Ligong to the frontline position.

After seeing Chen Ziyun, he said with a serious expression on his face.

After all, Chu Yunfei was born in Whampoa, and after seeing the big scene, he quickly discovered the power of the eight long-range field cannons.

"I really didn't expect that the little devil would still be hiding behind. If it wasn't for the guard company and the cavalry company threatening them with heavy weapons."

"I'm afraid that by now, none of their eight long-range artillery will be exposed!"

"Tuan Zuo, judging from the shelling just now, the range of these eight cannons should be tens of thousands of meters!"

Chen Ziyun had a serious expression on his face, and he said it with some fear.

Fortunately, the twelve mountain cannons of the Artillery Battalion have always set up shelter positions, otherwise, if these mountain cannons were exposed, they would definitely become living targets for the eight field cannons!
If these mountain cannons are destroyed, the combat effectiveness of the 358 regiment will be greatly reduced.
