Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

"Well, it is said that a higher-ranking official can crush people to death. You are only half a level higher, yet you can still crush people half to death..." Li Yunlong said as he stood up.

"What? Do you still have any objections? How about changing the main attack mission to the main force regiment?" Li Yuexuan asked back.

"No, no, no... Our regiment will take the main attack. Once Yangquan City is surrounded, we, Old Li, will catch the turtle in the jar... Is that all you have to say, Political Commissar?" Li Yunlong looked at Political Commissar Zhao with a flattering look on his face.

"Well, it was used correctly this time! Well, you go check on Xiuqin first, I'll organize everyone to pull the cannon!" Political Commissar Zhao laughed and left the command post.

Outside the command post, the guards were replaced by soldiers from the special forces and special service squads, so the people who came to express their condolences could only watch from afar. Of course, the people were busy distributing various foods to the soldiers, and only Sister Xiuqin occasionally glanced over here.

"Come here, Xiwang, right? Here, the pancakes I made this morning, with your favorite scallion dipping sauce in them!" Sister Xiuqin handed the rolled big pancake to a soldier with a happy smile on her face.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Xiwang took the pancake and took a big bite, then looked at it with shining eyes, and then took another bite. It's not that the scallion sauce is so delicious, but that there are long strips of fried meat in the scallion sauce. Although there is only a small row, the aroma of meat and the aroma of scallion sauce are a perfect match!
"Xiuqin...you've worked hard!" Li Yunlong walked over and just shouted when he saw his busy sister-in-law Xiuqin.

"Hey, Captain..." Sister Xiuqin quickly wiped her hands and walked to Li Yunlong awkwardly. She opened the white cloth bundle that had been placed beside her, and there were also big pancakes inside.

"This is what I specially saved for you today. It's full of meat filling! It's our own, we're not taking advantage of the public!" Sister Xiuqin looked at her man with a smile on her face that was somewhat doting.

"That...ah...at least I didn't take advantage of the government...yeah, it tastes good...good...Monk, where's my kettle? I'm choking..."

Li Yunlong and Xiuqin were together for only a few minutes, because a war was about to break out and Xiuqin and the others had to leave the battlefield quickly and not cause any more trouble.

Just when Li Yunlong and Xiuqin were showing their love, Li Yuexuan found Zheng Changfeng.

"Old Zheng, do you have any objection to not letting your team take the main attack?" Li Yuexuan asked with a smile.

"No problem, we are all here to fight the Japanese, it doesn't matter who takes the lead!" Zheng Changfeng smiled, but it was unclear what he was thinking. Li Yuexuan didn't have the ability to read his mind. However, Li Yuexuan's next words made Zheng Changfeng excited.

"Old Zheng, you have seen that there are more than 4000 troops surrounding Yangquan, and they are all elite. We don't need so many people at all! To be honest, with so many people gathered here, won't this increase the population density when the Japanese bombers bomb? So, when we take down the city gate, your regiment will have other tasks!" Li Yuexuan pointed to the west while speaking.

"You mean, go and support the New Second Regiment and block the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Taiyuan?" Zheng Changfeng's eyes were bright.

"That's right. Let your regiment go all the way west and guard the direction where the Japanese are coming from. Together with the New Second Regiment, block the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Taiyuan! Yangquan City is nothing. This is not the first time we have attacked it. Once the city gate is breached, the city will be in our hands!" "And you and the New Second Regiment are the most important positions for the most intense battle! Needless to say, there are two to three thousand troops guarding Jingxing, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The key is that you must defend this side! When you go over, I will arrange the artillery battalion for you! Then, I will allocate 500 extra artillery shells for you to use!"

"So, in the next period of time, how much supplies we can pull from Yangquan City and how many days of supplies we can pull will depend on how long you can hold out! If necessary, the First Battalion will also follow!" Li Yuexuan said his latest arrangements. Well, this is an internal matter of the detachment, so we will discuss it privately and solve it. We just need to send a telegram to the team headquarters later.

"Okay, I'll get ready now!" Old Zheng was in a good mood and went to dig a hole...

Because they didn't enter the city right away, the siege became complicated. Not only did they have to prepare the order of the siege, prepare the materials for the siege, but they also had to have positions and supply lines... In short, it wasn't something that could be done right away. Therefore, Nakajima Tokutaro in the city had the opportunity to ask for help and hoped that the reinforcements would arrive soon.

More than half an hour passed as everyone was preparing...Guo Zhongmin and his men brought back a large amount of straw from the south, west and east of Yangquan, and piled it over a large area.

Not only that, he also arranged soldiers to bring lighters to light fires. One soldier was responsible for lighting 10 fires and then jumping into the anti-gun holes that were being dug to hide. No one wanted the Japanese bombers to come, but if they came, there must be a way to deal with them! Lighting a fire, blocking the view with smoke, and then hiding in the anti-gun holes was a gamble with life.

If you are lucky, the plane didn't drop the bomb near you; if you are unlucky, the bomb will explode next to you...

The fire was ready, the anti-aircraft machine gun positions were arranged, and even the mountain artillery positions were dug and the mountain artillery was in place. At this time, Li Yuexuan personally went to each artillery position, brought several carefully selected artillerymen from the regiment, and personally assigned them tasks.

"You are responsible for loading the ammunition, pulling the trigger, and waving the flag to command. Come with me, I will calibrate this gun myself, and you learn from me..." Li Yuexuan arranged the positions painstakingly and even test-fired each gun, which exploded into balls of fire on the city wall, frightening the Japanese and puppet troops guarding here.

Li Yuexuan personally commanded the mountain artillery, and the heavy mortars were not so troublesome. After moving forward another 2 kilometers, the heavy mortars were once again in place. Then, Shi Peican and the three company commanders personally tested the firing and determined the coordinates. Then they just had to wait for the battle...

Rumble... The roar of the engine sounded, and the Beishan Detachment's second attack on Yangquan officially began.

Creak... The modified Douding tank took the lead and rushed across the railway, across the stone bridge, and to the city of Yangquan; following the Douding tank was the modified truck, which also crossed the railway and the stone bridge and was ready outside the city of Yangquan.

Following the armored vehicles across the stone bridge were the commandos of the quick reaction company. Under the cover of these armored vehicles, they established a bridgehead for the attack opposite the stone bridge.

The strange thing was that even after all the vehicles had crossed the stone bridge and even the quick reaction company had unloaded sandbags from the truck beds and built a bridgehead, the Japanese still had no firepower to counterattack.

"How come it's going so smoothly? This isn't normal..." (End of this chapter)
