Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 446 Chapter 445, it was won, but it was not intense.

Although only eight large bombs were dropped on Lijiapo, the power of the explosion really shocked all the officers and soldiers watching the battle! Even the deputy commander-in-chief slammed the table and cheered loudly! He knew that the arsenal had brought in powerful bombs to try, but this power... He said that this was the first time in his life that he felt so happy!
The deputy commander cheered loudly, not to mention the other officers and soldiers! Especially the troops that suffered in this battle, even if there were only one or two wounded in a company, they still stubbornly raised their heads on the stretchers, looking at the smoke and dust on the top of the mountain, with crystal tears flowing from the corners of their eyes...

The huge explosion shocked everyone in an instant! What about the Japanese soldiers deep in the center of the explosion? Well, if you zoom in to the moment when the shells hit, this is what happened.

In the circular fortification, Captain Yamazaki heard a whistling sound coming from above his head. He suddenly looked up and saw a huge steel tank falling from the sky, and it seemed that it landed right above his head.

Then, in his big mouth, the steel can exploded... and then nothing happened. The man turned into ashes...

The explosion ended very quickly, but the echo seemed to linger in everyone's ears for a long time! At the independent regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong finally reacted and said, "Our independent regiment is still going to attack!" So, with a big knife in one hand and a box gun in the other, he left the headquarters.

"Bugler, charge!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly, striding forward with his long legs, step by step, towards Lijiapo! It's not that he didn't want to run, it's just that the slope was too steep and he couldn't run!

Li Yunlong couldn't run, but the commandos and the first battalion and other units of the earthwork operation, led by Kong Erlangzi, quickly moved forward along the dug trenches. It's not that they didn't want to rush up to fight, but the distance was too far and the terrain was too difficult to move, so everyone had to do this.

Finally, the commandos reached the previously scheduled attack distance, but everyone was still a little stunned before launching the attack. The trenches that had been dug before were no longer there, completely filled with mud from the explosion! In other words, if they still stayed at this position to launch an attack, they would either be killed or buried.

"Comrades, follow me!" After a brief moment of rejoicing for 0.01 seconds, Zhang Dabiao threw away the fixed three-edged spike on his assault rifle and took the lead in attacking the devil's circular position! Behind him, the commandos were either holding semi-automatic or assault rifles, and a few commandos were holding shotguns.

In order to ensure the success of this assault mission, Li Yunlong spent a huge amount of money and gave the best weapons of the independent regiment to the assault team!

What are you talking about? Where is the scheduled bombing group? Let's put it this way, the moment he saw Li Yuexuan coming, Li Yunlong had already eliminated this bombing group from the supply sequence.

On the mountain road, Li Yunlong raised his legs high and landed heavily, alternately pedaling with both legs, step by step, towards the top of Lijiapo. Although he knew the result was certain, he was still somewhat anxious, worried that the bombing was not powerful enough, and the commandos were not strong enough to take down the enemy's fortifications with absolute advantage, causing heavy casualties.

That's right, now he is not worried about whether he can take it or not, but about the problem of heavy casualties. However, when he finally reached the top of Lijiapo and looked at the gentle top of the mountain, his worry was replaced by joy! Looking around, there was not a single soldier in the commando team, and the soldiers of the first battalion who followed up the second wave of attacks also filled the hillside.

"Report to the regiment commander, the commando team has completed the mission, all members have no casualties, and the enemy positions have been completely taken!" Zhang Dabiao came over to report to Li Yunlong. "Well done! It's just that you acted too quickly, leaving us, Li, with no more enemy soldiers to kill!" Li Yunlong put away his box gun and machete, and said in a teasing tone.

"Old Li, don't talk about you. There were no Japanese to kill when I came up! The explosion just now was too powerful. The Japanese were either buried alive, blown to death, or looked intact but were shocked to death! Look, look at the bayonets of the commandos, few of them are stained with blood!" Kong Erlengzi's words reached Li Yunlong's ears.

"This is a good thing. We have captured the Lijiaopo position alone! Although this time it was all thanks to the bombardment of the artillery, the merit of taking the position personally is still ours!" Li Yunlong patted Kong Jie's shoulder comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, you won't be the deputy commander for too long! Our team is short of military cadres, and you will be transferred soon!"

"Let me talk about this!" Li Yunlong said and looked around: "A Yamazaki Battalion mobilized more than 30,000 devils from the southeastern part of Shanxi to encircle them! Now that the Yamazaki Battalion is gone, the devils can either continue to attack or return to where they were! If the devils continue to attack, we still have a battle to fight; if the devils return to where they were, we can just train the team!"

"Old Kong, how long do you think the commander of the headquarters will keep you here as a senior regiment commander who has been through the Long March with us? Besides, the battle of Yangcun was not your main mistake..."

"Cavalry Company, follow me..." As the two regiment commanders were talking, Cavalry Company Commander Sun Desheng finally led the cavalry, waving sabers, and rushed up from the bottom of the mountain. Then, they saw the idle comrades looking at them with a smile on their faces. Well, the cavalry company's foot combat this time was in vain...

The battle was over and the battlefield was hastily cleaned up. The division commanders and brigade commanders went to the battlefield in person and began to study the Japanese's circular fortifications, trying to figure out why the Japanese were so difficult to defeat.

As they watched, everyone felt a sense of familiarity in their hearts. Those who were smart picked up a training manual and turned to the content on tunnel fortifications and the use of mountain and reverse slope fortifications.

After reading the contents of the book and looking at the positions on the mountain, the smart leaders immediately realized that they seemed to have overlooked something. Thinking about the bombings of several large shells just now, they realized something else in their hearts. For example, if there was enough time to reinforce and expand the tunnel connecting Liushupo, the effect of the bombing just now would be greatly weakened.

Then, the Japanese used the tunnel fortifications and continued to rely on the circular fortifications on the mountain, and the independent regiment would not be able to take over this position so easily.

"Let's go. Now that we have understood, remember it in mind. Whether you are commanding offensive battles or organizing defensive positions in the future, we must learn from the experience and lessons of this battle! Especially the Japanese earthworks, which are worthy of our study. Then, we can combine our knowledge system to create a set of our own defense methods!" The division commander made a final summary and went down the mountain with a group of brigade commanders and regiment commanders.
