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

Chen Ziyun did come over without saying hello this time, because when it comes to combat, Chen Ziyun must maintain absolute confidentiality.

The main force of the 18th Infantry Regiment attacks, and one part stays behind in Yuanyang City. No matter whether they attack the main force of the 18th Regiment or attack Yuanyang City, they will be very passive.

Under such circumstances, Chen Ziyun directly brought his troops to Li Yunlong secretly.

He planned to use the first section of the new regiment, the first brigade, and the first section of the second artillery regiment to contain the 110th Regiment of Makino City and the 18th Regiment of Yuanyang City.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun gathered elite troops and used all his strength to encircle and annihilate the special agent unit in the area north of Makino City.

After seeing Li Yunlong, Chen Ziyun didn't hesitate and directly expressed his battle ideas.

"Hehehe, it's your brother Ziyun who has the solution. If that's the case, then you can rest assured and leave the battle south of Makino City to me."

"The first and second battalions of the new regiment, artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, and a mountain artillery battalion are fully capable of holding on to the position with all their strength and containing the 18th Infantry Regiment."

"In addition, I asked Lao Zhao to come over and let him command the troops of the third and fourth battalions to fully cooperate with your brother Ziyun in the battle."

Li Yunlong agreed readily without any hesitation.

He quickly headed to the area south of Makino City, while Zhao Gang came immediately to take over the command of the third and fourth battalions.

Li Yunlong will command five battalions to hold on to the blocking position south of Makino City to contain the main attack of the 18th Elite Regiment of the Little Japanese.

Li Chongtao will also command the First Brigade to continuously attack and provide support to assist Li Yunlong in holding the position.

The 2nd Zhou Wenbo Artillery Regiment and ten Soviet-style field guns will also stay to fight and assist.

As for Zhu Mingxuan, attached to the Second Artillery Regiment, he commanded ten Soviet-style field guns and followed Chen Ziyun to fight.

In addition to these ten Soviet-style field guns, Chen Ziyun also brought the machine gun battalion and combat defense artillery battalion of the guard regiment.

In this case, five battalions of troops were assembled for combat in the area north of Makino Castle.

Zhao Gang commanded two infantry battalions, while Chen Ziyun commanded a field artillery battalion, a combat defense artillery battalion, and a machine gun battalion.

After these five battalions are brought together, the overall combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, fierce fighting began at the Makino Castle blocking position.

Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo took personal command, and the first and second battalions were fully engaged in defense.

The artillery battalion directly under the new regiment fired six 82MM mortars, six Type 75 infantry guns, and six Jin-made MM mountain guns.

Dense artillery shells hit the little Japanese troops one after another, and deafening explosions continued to sound.

Shrapnel quickly spread in all directions, and the 18th Infantry Regiment was suppressed by fire.

At the same time, twelve Fengshan cannons drawn from the Taihang Mountain Tang Chunming Artillery Regiment also began firing, and a large number of artillery shells continued to suppress the firepower of the Japs.

These twelve mountain cannons are imitations of the 1994-type mountain cannon and can shoot more than 8,000 meters.

As for the Jin orogenic mountain cannon, it is an imitation of the Type 41 mountain cannon and can only shoot about six thousand meters.

However, at this time, Li Yunlong had two artillery battalions and twenty-four artillery pieces of different calibers, so he still had an advantage.

And on the first brigade, Zhou Wenbo, commander of the second artillery regiment, was under unified command.

The first brigade was directly under the command of ten Shanxi orogenic guns, and the second artillery regiment's twelve Soviet field guns opened fire one after another, launching a long-range fire strike.

Twenty-two artillery pieces fired on the flanks, and a large number of shells were fired at the 18th Regiment.

Even though the 18th Regiment had strong combat effectiveness, it was still suppressed by firepower in the face of such an artillery attack.

Captain Matsutaro Tanabe showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and he began to order the troops to disperse and attack.

The Fourth Battalion deployed three infantry squadrons to attack directly from the front.

The brigade is directly under the machine gun squadron, and the artillery squadron provides fire cover.

The Fifth Group deployed two infantry squadrons to attack directly from the flanks. The heavy weapons directly under the group also provided cover.

The regiment is directly under the artillery brigade, and each Type 41 mountain gun conducts precise shelling to suppress the firepower of the new regiment's position to cover the advancement of the two brigades.

For a while, the troops from both sides continued to engage in fierce fighting. After the Japanese troops dispersed and fought, they still had the advantage.

The 18th Regiment used their superb individual combat skills to continue advancing and firing with various weapons.

Heavy bullets and grenades were fired one after another, but the new regiment still suffered casualties.

The new group is very powerful, but they mainly shoot at close range.

In the original drama, Zhao Gang killed the Japanese grenadier from 500 meters, but Li Yunlong was shocked.

However, the elite 18th Regiment of the Little Devils has a certain number of special shooters who can carry out precise strikes at four to five hundred meters.

Most little devils can carry out precise strikes at about three hundred meters.

This is related to the long-term large-scale combat carried out by the little devils, and their combat capabilities are incomparable to the new group.

Because the Eighth Route Army lacked weapons, they still lacked some skills.

Although Li Yunlong's troops have sophisticated weapons and a lot of ammunition.

But even though Li Yunlong was extremely rich at this time, he was reluctant to let the troops conduct live-fire training.

Even if he had such courage, he would not do it. If he did, other troops would definitely be jealous.

Therefore, in terms of medium and long-range shooting, the 18th Wing has an absolute advantage.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong has an artillery unit here, and the First Brigade also has an artillery unit for shooting.

The continuous bombardment by more than forty artillery pieces can still cause casualties to the 18th Infantry Regiment.

At five o'clock, the 358th Regiment began to deploy troops to carry out flank attacks to contain the Japanese troops.

It was at this time that operations in the area north of Makino City began one after another.

Zhao Gang commanded the third battalion, and the troops of the fourth battalion gradually moved towards the high ground on the west side.

Yamamoto Kazuki discovered that thousands of troops began to withdraw from the battlefield, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity.

So he commanded his troops to pursue them with all their might, in an attempt to completely annihilate the two battalions.

At this time, Yamamoto Kazuki was still a little cautious. All the troops did not divide their troops, but gathered together to fight.

"The little devil is really cautious and cunning. He is afraid that after dividing his troops to fight, he will be annihilated one by one."

"But now we still have a chance. The machine gun battalion and combat defense artillery battalion are quickly deployed here."

"Zhengwei Zhao, could you please command the third battalion? The fourth battalion will quickly attract the little Japanese troops here."

"Then the third and fourth battalions were stationed on both sides to defend and ensure the security of both sides."

Chen Ziyun carefully marked the map, and then he directly issued the combat order.

"Yes, Commander Chen." The nearby messenger immediately began to convey the order.

As for Zhao Gang, he also quickly came to the battlefield and hurriedly directed the troops of the third and fourth battalions to evacuate towards the predetermined position.

"With Zhu Tuan attached, I will leave the artillery unit to you to command."

"Once the little devils concentrate their attack, you can quickly launch artillery fire to suppress their troops."

"At the same time, the heavy weapons of the little devils must be destroyed immediately, and they must not be allowed to take advantage of their heavy weapons."

"Arrange communications troops to establish contact immediately to ensure that the front line and artillery positions can maintain contact at all times."

Chen Ziyun had a serious expression on his face and decisively issued the order.

"Yes, Commander Chen." Zhu Mingxuan agreed immediately. Around 5:30, Chen Ziyun personally commanded the machine gun battalion, and the combat artillery battalion advanced to an open space northwest of Makino City.

The machine gun battalion and combat defense artillery battalion quickly established positions, and the two battalion commanders had already gone to the front line to take command.

Chen Ziyun carefully checked the deployment situation, and the cannon battalion was the focus of defense.

After arranging all this, Chen Ziyun quietly waited for the arrival of the little devil.

Around seven o'clock, the troops of the third and fourth battalions had begun to move towards the position.

They quickly advanced to both sides of the position and deployed defensive arrangements on the spot.

After the pursuing special agent team found that the troops had stopped advancing, they quickly launched an attack without any hesitation.

They planned to take advantage of the two infantry battalions' unstable footing to quickly break through the position.

Two squadrons of Japs charged directly towards the position. Behind them, there were machine gun squadrons and rapid-fire artillery squadrons providing cover.

As for the other two assault squadrons, the two mortar squadrons attacked the positions of the third and fourth battalions respectively.

Kazuki Yamamoto raised his telescope for observation, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

When he saw an open space in front of him, he was completely relieved.

"First, the second squadron quickly broke through from the center and cut off their communication. The machine gun squadron and the rapid-fire artillery squadron provided full cover."

"The third squadron and the fourth squadron attacked on both sides respectively, with mortars first and the second squadron giving full cover."

"Carry out a rapid assault and quickly break through their positions, thereby completely annihilating their forces."

Yamamoto Kazuki decisively issued the combat order, and the little Japanese who received the combat order began to attack with all their strength.

A large number of troops quickly moved forward, but they didn't know that their every move was being closely watched.

The two battalion commanders of the machine gun battalion and the combat defense artillery battalion were ready. As soon as they reached the distance, they would immediately command the troops to fire.

The first and second squadrons of the Little Devils advanced at full speed. They believed that there were no defensive forces in front.

The two squadron commanders waved their sabers and asked the troops to advance quickly.

However, they still have the necessary vigilance. Semi-automatic rifles, sniper rifles, light and heavy machine guns and other weapons are all covered in the rear.

The little devil holding a submachine gun accelerated his advance.

But even these little devils took turns covering each other and advancing.

Chen Ziyun looked carefully through the telescope, with a solemn expression on his face.

He had to admit that these little devils were indeed very elite.

If it were another army, I'm afraid they might not perform like this.

"Contact the machine gun battalion and see that there are no machine guns covering the rear. Once the battle begins, we must destroy their machine gun positions."

"Otherwise, these machine guns will continue to fire suppressively, and we may not be able to fully deploy the firepower here."

"The infantry guns of the machine gun battalion fired and knocked out the general machine guns of the little devil machine gun squadron."

"Contact the combat defense artillery battalion and ask them to pay close attention to the small Japanese rapid-fire cannon. As soon as the small Japanese rapid-fire cannon is exposed, quickly destroy it."

"Then fight the anti-artillery battalion and attack the Japs' light machine guns and grenades with all their strength."

"In addition, the leader of the machine gun group under the machine gun battalion is paying close attention to the little Japanese sniper rifle."

Chen Ziyun put down the telescope, with a serious expression on his face, and began to issue orders.

"Yes, Commander Chen." The messenger hurriedly agreed.

Orders began to be passed out one after another.

At this time, the little devils' advancing position was less than 300 meters away, and they still accelerated their advance.

The two captains and squadron commanders waved their hands and asked all ministries to follow up quickly.

As for the two infantry battalions commanded by Zhao Gang, they have set up positions on the left and right sides to protect the flanks of the machine gun battalion and the combat defense artillery battalion.

"For the record, they only have heavy weapons. Can they stop the Japs' troops?"

"These little devils are very powerful. Although they don't have many troops, they are very powerful in combat."

"In particular, they have many sniper rifles and semi-automatic rifles, which can carry out precise strikes."

"Although the Jinsui Army has a lot of heavy weapons, they may not be able to be effective against such a force."

"The little Japs are snipers, riflemen, and grenade launchers who specialize in shooting machine gunners. They are all accurate."

Here at the third battalion position, the commander of the third battalion came to Zhao Gang and said with a worried expression on his face.

Zhao Gang raised the telescope for observation, with a solemn expression on his face.

He didn't have much confidence in his heart. If it were anyone else, Zhao Gang would definitely refuse.

But this combat plan was proposed by Chen Ziyun, Li Yunlong was very supportive, and Zhao Gang also believed in Chen Ziyun.

"If it had been anyone else, I probably wouldn't have had any chance of winning."

"But this commander Chen Ziyun is not an ordinary person. Maybe he can create a miracle."

"And this machine gun battalion and combat defense artillery battalion are all from the Guard Corps, and they are elite."

"Maybe they can get results there."

Zhao Gang thought for a while and said thoughtfully.

At this time, the cadres and soldiers of the third and fourth battalions of the new regiment looked towards the central position.

They had fought against the little devils like the Secret Service Team before, and they knew the strength of these little devils very well.

At this time, Chen Ziyun commanded the machine gun battalion and the combat defense artillery battalion set up positions to directly confront the main force of the little devils. They were inevitably a little worried.

But they didn't know that these two battalions belonged to the Guard Regiment and were equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment.

The machine gun battalion was formerly the machine gun battalion. At its peak, the machine gun battalion had a large number of light and heavy machine guns.

But after the subsequent troop expansion, they reduced the number of machine guns.

But now, they still have twenty-four Type 91 light machine guns and six Type 92 infantry guns.

As for the combat defense artillery battalion, it is equipped with Soviet-style 37MM combat defense artillery and twelve Type 13 MM heavy machine guns (tacks) each!

With such a number of weapons, they still have enough advantages against the little Japanese troops.

Especially the Type 91 light machine guns, these were captured from the Japs. These light machine guns are equipped with optical sights.

"Kill them, quickly break through the open space in front and cut off the connection between the enemy forces."

"Warriors of the empire, fight over. This time we will completely annihilate this Tubal army."

"We cannot let these Tubal soldiers retreat to the high ground, otherwise they will definitely flee the battlefield."

At this time, the two squadron leaders of the little devil began to shout loudly.

After receiving the order, the little Japanese troops advanced forward at full speed.

The little devil closest to the position is already less than two hundred meters away! (End of chapter)
