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

Chapter 116 Comprehensive Combat Preparation
The Japanese army exposed eight field artillery with a range of tens of thousands of meters in advance, which also sounded the alarm for the 358 regiment.

After all, the six Jin mountain cannons had already moved forward at this time, and if the six mountain cannons set up exposed positions, they would definitely be destroyed quickly.

Moreover, from the destructive power of the shelling of these eight field artillery, it is not difficult to see that they have strong strike capabilities.

If it weren't for the fact that the guard company and the cavalry company threatened the heavy weapons of the Japanese army this time, the eight field artillery would continue to be hidden.

So whether it is the 358 regiment or the new regiment, they will definitely suffer a lot.

"Ziyun, the Commander's Department personally sent personnel over, and Commander Yan personally rewarded you with ten gold bars in recognition of your military exploits."

"And the executive department promoted you to the rank of lieutenant colonel, serving as the regiment attache of the 358th regiment, commander of the artillery battalion, and commander of the infantry."

"Liang Guoping was attached to the former lieutenant colonel regiment, and the artillery battalion was transferred to serve as the deputy battalion commander of the lieutenant colonel!"

"Ziyun, you and I are both from Jin Province, no matter what, we must be worthy of the elders of San Jin!"

"Let's not think about other things for the time being. What we have to do now is to guard the land of Jin Province and severely attack the Japanese troops."

Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Ziyun, and he said with a serious expression on his face.

As his voice fell, the guard behind him handed over a small box, and it was obvious that the box contained gold bars.

And Chen Ziyun naturally understood what Chu Yunfei meant, that is, don't think about the issue of belonging in the future.

Now that they are the Jinsui Army, they must fight with all their strength as the Jinsui Army, so as to protect the fellow countrymen of the Three Jins!
Of course, Chen Ziyun didn't bother to care about these things, as long as he could beat devils, he was willing to go anywhere.

"Don't worry, I will not let down the trust of the group!"

"After this battle, the 358th Regiment will surely become famous in Jin Province."

"I am confident and sure to repel the Japanese puppet army's encirclement and annihilation campaign, and let them pay heavy casualties!"

Chen Ziyun looked at Chu Yunfei in front of him, and immediately made a statement.

"On this point, I still trust you, Chen Ziyun."

"If you, Chen Ziyun, can't do something, then no one in the Jin Province battlefield can do it."

"I still say that, the main force of the regiment is under your command, and I will fully support any of your actions."

A smile appeared on Chu Yunfei's face. He raised his binoculars, looked in the direction of Yang Village, and said directly.

This time Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong came here mainly to deliver orders from the Minister's Department.

At the same time, in the name of the regiment headquarters, they have notified the subordinate battalions of the 358 regiment.

With the telegram from the Minister's Department, Chen Ziyun's current status can be said to be the absolute second in command of the 358 regiment.

It was justifiable for Chu Yunfei to continue to authorize him to command the main force of the regiment.

Secondly, although Chu Yunfei didn't say it directly, his meaning was obvious. The 358th regiment couldn't stand by and watch the battle in the Yangcun area!
He hoped that Chen Ziyun could seize the opportunity and take the initiative to attack, so as to attack the Japanese and puppet troops and kill their combat forces as much as possible.

Regardless of the current overall casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops, they still retain a considerable number of heavy weapons.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the current heavy weapons of the Japanese and puppet troops, if they are fully supported by aviation, they will still be a huge threat.

After all, as of now, the overall casualties of the 358 regiment are not small.

If counting the killed, seriously injured, and lightly wounded, the number of their casualties has exceeded 1000!
Even the fifth and sixth battalions that did not fight the Japanese army were bombed and shelled one after another, and their casualties exceeded 100 people.

Therefore, the Japanese and puppet troops are still threatening.

Chu Yunfei hoped that Chen Ziyun could completely disable them, so that they would completely lose their combat effectiveness.

Chen Ziyun naturally wished for this, and if Chu Yunfei had such an idea, then he could justifiably support the new regiment in combat.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong began to return to the regiment headquarters from the frontline positions.

On the other hand, Chen Ziyun ordered the artillery company [-] and the artillery company [-] to advance forward, build a sheltered position, and prepare for shelling.

The guard company and the cavalry company are on standby on both sides.

At the same time, Wu Ziqiang's Second Battalion on the high ground behind was drawn by Chen Ziyun.

The current combat strength of the Second Battalion is about 500 people. This force has been fighting continuously, and it has a certain combat effectiveness.

Chen Ziyun transferred them here, naturally preparing them to cooperate with other troops in attacking operations.

The little devil's Bamen has wild cannons with a range of tens of thousands of meters, but Chen Ziyun is very envious.

If a few of them can be captured, then the overall strength of their artillery battalion can be greatly improved.

What's more, he still has the task of systematically killing Katayama Shotaro to complete. No matter what, he will launch an attack.

"Bingzao, the artillery has made slight deviations in several consecutive shellings."

"After inspection, it was found that the six Jin orogenic cannons were worn to varying degrees compared to before."

"In view of the situation of the Jin-made artillery before, the artillery company may not be able to carry out continuous shelling in the next battle."

Ten minutes later, Chen Ziyun called together the four company commanders of the artillery battalion and Zhou Wenbo of the observation team.

After Sun Xiong and Zhou Wenbo came over, they reported directly.

As the guns and artillery are continuously improved, there is a certain amount of wear and tear, which will cause problems in shooting.

In the original play, Lao Li said that when he first took over the new regiment, the old sleeves and rifling made by Hanyang in the first battalion were worn out.

This is the wear and tear of the gun. With such a rifle, the bullets are fired without any accuracy.

Although Chen Ziyun has a detailed shooting parameter table of the Liumen Jin orogenic cannon provided by the system, there will naturally be deviations due to wear and tear of the Liumen Jin orogenic cannon.

After all, when the artillery shoots, it needs the degree of wear of the artillery, wind direction, environment, humidity and other conditions to determine the precise strike.

"The artillery company should not carry out continuous shelling, so as to avoid situations such as bombing."

"In addition, the observation team recorded relevant deviations as much as possible during shelling, so as to sort out a new shooting parameter table."

Chen Ziyun frowned and immediately gave the order.

The artillery company cannot continue to shell, which will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the artillery.

But if they continue to fight at high intensity, the artillery may be severely damaged, and the loss outweighs the gain.

There are problems with the quality of Jin-made weapons. During the Battle of Xinkou, Jin-made artillery continued to bombard, and even exploded.

The artillery company has six Jin orogenic cannons with a detailed shooting parameter table provided by the system. If these six cannons are destroyed, the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion will be cut in half!
Of course, speaking of it, we still have to look at imported weapons at this time.

The overall performance of the six Bofors Mountain Cannons of the Artillery Second Company is good, and the quality is not to mention.

Now Chen Ziyun can only hope that in the future the system will be able to provide detailed shooting parameter tables for these six Bofors mountain guns.

If the six Bofors mountain guns had a shooting parameter table, the overall combat effectiveness would definitely be improved several notches!

This incident made Chen Ziyun realize that army combat is not a simple matter, and all aspects must be taken care of.

Even with the assistance of the system, problems in various aspects are still enough to give Chen Ziyun a headache.

At this time, Liang Guoping, wearing the uniform of the lieutenant colonel, came here.

Because of the order of the Minister's Ministry, Liang Guoping returned to the artillery battalion again and served as the deputy battalion commander.

"Chen Tuanfu, Guoping was ordered to report and serve as the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion. I hope Chen Tuanfu will take care of him in the future."

"Everyone, Guoping has offended me a lot before, please forgive me in person."

"In the future, if you need anything from Guoping, just ask, and Guoping will definitely assist you with all your strength."

Liang Guoping came to the battalion headquarters of the artillery battalion set up on the front line. After saluting, he said with a smile on his face.

At first, Liang Guoping was very jealous of Chen Ziyun, and wanted to punish Chen Ziyun every minute.

But after many incidents, Liang Guoping found that he was not an opponent at all.

Now even Yan Laoxi, the biggest boss in his backstage, has started to win over Chen Ziyun.

How dare Liang Guoping have other ideas, at this moment he keeps lowering his status.

Even for captains and company commanders like Sun Xiong and Li Yang, he did not pose as a lieutenant colonel and deputy battalion commander.

"The previous things are over. Since Lao Liang returns to the artillery battalion again, he is one of his own."

"As long as you, Old Liang, are sincerely repentant, we will definitely not care about what happened before."

"Old Liang, you came just in time. You will be responsible for the logistics of the artillery battalion and the treatment of the wounded."

"Soldier, go and find Wu Ziqiang, the commander of the second battalion. Next, let's discuss the matter of attack."

After seeing Liang Guoping's posture, Chen Ziyun spoke directly.

Now he has no time to think about the past, after all, the battle is the most important right now.

Liang Guoping still had some ability to use, so Chen Ziyun directly gave him a step up.

After hearing what Chen Ziyun said, Liang Guoping looked at Chen Ziyun gratefully.

After all, the Artillery Battalion is now completely controlled by Chen Ziyun. If he holds grudges, Liang Guoping will have no place in the Artillery Battalion at all.

About seven or eight minutes later, Wu Ziqiang, the second battalion commander, came to the battalion headquarters.

Chen Ziyun picked up the baton and began to discuss the attack with these officers.

At this time, in the Brigade Headquarters of the independent and mixed fourth brigade, Major General Katayama Shotaro, head of the brigade, is currently extremely angry.

Several officers of the Japanese and puppet army were slapped by him one after another. Not to mention the cheeks of these officers, even Shotaro Katayama's hands were red and swollen.

"The mortar brigade lost eight mortars, and the machine gun brigade lost ten heavy machine guns."

"Fujita Brigade was completely annihilated, and the combat strength of the five independent infantry brigades was less than 2000."

"Four cannons of the artillery team were destroyed, and now eight field cannons with a range of more than [-] meters are completely exposed, but they have not achieved any results!"

"How did you command the battle? Even if tens of thousands of stupid pigs continue to attack, they will be able to break through their positions."

"Koichi Mori, you idiot, the artillery of the two artillery brigades can't play any role in your hands."

"You, Lieutenant Commander of the Artillery Corps, I don't think you are as good as the Second Lieutenant of the Supplies. You are the one who made us a complete laughing stock for our independent fourth brigade!"

Katayama Shotaro was furious. He glared at the Japanese and puppet army officers and kept roaring.

Koichi Mori, the lieutenant commander of the artillery team, was scolded bloody by him.

After all, the artillery team has an absolute advantage in artillery, but until now these advantages have not been brought into play at all.

This made Katayama Shoutaro unacceptable. He felt that Moriki Koichi was simply an idiot.

Mori Muhengyi was so ashamed of being scolded, he lowered his head and remained silent.

In the Japanese army, the heavy soldiers had no status at all.

Katayama Shotaro directly said that Koichi Moriki was not as good as the second lieutenant of the heavy soldier, which severely hit his self-esteem.

"I will continue to contact the army headquarters and request the aviation unit to assist in operations."

"The main force continues to attack the Yangcun Xinyi Regiment. I hope to completely break through their defensive positions before dark."

"The artillery of the Jinsui Army will definitely continue to launch shelling, and the aviation will dispatch to attack it."

"The eight field guns of the artillery team assisted in the battle, thus completely suppressing the troops of the Jinsui Army, and we must not let them have any influence on our operations."

"If you can't win the Yangcun position in this battle, then you idiots should all apologize by cutting open your stomach!"

The brigade department was silent, Katayama Shotaro slowly picked up the baton, he tapped the location of Yangcun on the map, and said with an indifferent expression on his face.

"Hi, Your Excellency the brigade commander." The Japanese puppet army officer immediately agreed.

This time, Katayama Shotaro directly cobbled together two thousand Japanese puppet troops and was directly responsible for the attack.

They carried out advance operations in two ways, but unlike the previous attacks, this time the machine gun brigade and mortar brigade directly strengthened their advance operations.

In this way, the heavy weaponry unit can launch combat strikes at any time and effectively support the infantry.

Six mountain cannons and six field cannons are also moving forward. At critical times, they will conduct direct shelling to support infantry operations.

Katayama Shotaro controlled more than 100 cavalry, and the [-] Japanese puppet infantry directly served as the reserve team.

The eight field guns with a range of more than 358 meters continued to maintain combat strikes against the [-] regiment.

Katayama Shotaro personally supervised the battle. He wanted to completely take down the Yangcun position before dark!

It's just that he didn't know that after the start of the battle in Yangcun, Brigadier Chen of the 386th brigade got the report immediately.

After getting in touch with Li Yunlong, Brigadier Chen drew up a combat concept to block the Japanese and puppet troops on the periphery.

Kong Jie commanded the independent regiment to advance to the side of Yangcun and build a defensive position in depth.

Ding Wei commanded the new second regiment to advance towards the flank of Yangcun, and was responsible for ensuring the safety of the new first regiment's flank.

In addition, when necessary, Ding Weixin's second regiment will launch an active offensive to support the new first regiment in combat.

The troops of the two regiments quickly approached Yangcun, fully supporting the new regiment in their operations.

At the same time, in Yangcun Xinyi Regiment, Li Yunlong also began to make adjustments based on the previous defensive operations.

The three battalions were directly under the machine gun company, and gradually shifted to the commanding heights behind the position, where they built machine gun positions.

The grenadiers of each battalion were scattered here on the cliff, condescending and shelling.

Wang Chengzhu's two infantry artillery also began to build artillery positions, ready to support the artillery attack at close range.

The three infantry battalions mainly focus on rifles and light machine guns for defensive operations on the positions.

Li Yunlong and other troops are actively preparing, and they are ready to face the battle again.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun also drew up a perfect attack plan here.

He is going to take the initiative to attack and find a way to destroy the Japanese artillery!
