Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 257 The curtain opens!

"What kind of new gameplay?"

Li Yunlong raised the corners of his mouth and continued:

"In previous competitions, we determined the winner based on the number of Japanese soldiers killed. This time, we will determine the winner based on the number of Japanese machine gunners and officers killed. Whoever kills more Japanese machine gunners, more Japanese officers, and Japanese officers with higher ranks will win."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and said, "How about it, Xiao Zhao, do you dare to compete with me?"

"Captain, you are doomed to fail."

Zhao Gang smiled slightly, his tone confident.

Today, Zhao Gang is not only the combat staff officer of the New 1st Regiment, but also the head of the Jinzhong Military Region’s field school.

Both the teachers and students in the camp school admired Zhao Gang very much.

Now, Zhao Gang is even more powerful than others with his large-caliber sniper rifle and excellent sniping skills.

"Not always."

Captain Li laughed heartily.

"Old Xing, what's the situation now?"

Li Yunlong turned his head and looked at Xing Zhiguo and asked.

Xing Zhiguo's face showed a solemn expression: "Commander, the Japanese have sent a large force today. The preliminary estimate is that the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is about 6,000 to 7,000 people."

Li Yunlong asked, "Do you think the New Fourth Battalion and the Special Service Battalion can withstand the enemy's attack?"

Xing Zhiguo said, "From what happened yesterday when our New Fourth Battalion fought the Japanese, our tunnel and reverse slope tactics are very strong. One company can easily hold off the attack of a Japanese squadron and a puppet army company."

"As long as our tunnels can block the attacks of the Japanese aerial bombs and artillery shells, our troops can stop the Japanese offensive."

Li Yunlong nodded. All the tunnels were reinforced with reinforced concrete. There was no reason why they could not withstand the attacks of Japanese aerial bombs and artillery shells.

Moreover, on the positive slope, the New 1st Regiment also built some reinforced concrete bunkers, which were connected to the tunnels and protected by a layer of steel plates, making the bunkers more solid.

"How's the artillery fire preparation going?"

Li Yunlong asked again.

Xing Zhiguo then answered again.

“6门75毫米博福斯山炮、8门82毫米迫击炮、12门60毫米迫击炮准备完毕。”

"All mountain artillery positions are built in reinforced concrete emplacements four kilometers to the rear."

"Artillery observers used precision to guide the firing, providing artillery support for the infantry on the slope."

"As soon as the battle started, the mortars immediately set up mortar positions on the reverse slope to provide artillery support."

"The infantry of the New Fourth Battalion and the Special Forces Battalion will rotate into company units."

The key to the success of tunnel and reverse slope warfare is that the tunnel must be strong enough to withstand the attacks of the enemy's heavy aerial bombs and artillery shells.

The second is that there is sufficient combat supplies such as weapons, ammunition, food and medicine.

The third is that the troops must be familiar with this tactic so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy when entering and exiting the tunnel.

There was a gleam in Captain Li's eyes.

Today, the Xinyi Regiment has about 300 million bullets, more than 7 grenades, more than 3 artillery shells and various ammunition and supplies.

These ammunition and combat supplies are enough for the new regiment to fight a large-scale battle.

But that's about it.

Generally speaking, rifles do not consume much ammunition, but the consumption of thousands of rifles is still relatively large. Submachine guns, general-purpose machine guns and heavy machine guns are all big consumers of ammunition.

Fortunately, the consumption was far lower than the income. Killing a Japanese soldier from the Type A Division would earn 2000 bullets.

Soldiers don't need to kill an enemy with one bullet, they just need to shoot when they see the enemy.

If we adopt the same tyrannical fighting style as the European and American soldiers who fire indiscriminately before even seeing the enemy, we will probably end up spending more than we earn.

After all, during World War II, it took an average of 2 bullets to kill one soldier.

The second point was also fully prepared. The logistics team composed of militiamen and villagers immediately delivered hot buns and steamed buns to the soldiers at mealtime. The stretcher team was also ready at all times to carry the wounded soldiers to the field hospital in the rear for treatment.

As for the third point, Xing Zhiguo also made sufficient preparations. More than half a month before the war, he ordered the infantry and artillery to carry out a large amount of tunnel and reverse slope tactical training.

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction. This artillery firepower configuration, sufficient logistics and supplies, and well-trained troops would surely make the Japanese suffer.

Now it depends on whether this tunnel can withstand the Japanese aerial bombs and artillery shells.

After a wave of artillery fire, the Japanese first sent a company of puppet troops and a squadron of Japanese soldiers to launch a wave of exploratory attacks.

To ensure that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still on the battlefield.

The Japanese did not have enough aerial bombs, and if the Eighth Route Army was not on the battlefield, it would be like bombing in vain.

About half an hour later, the Japanese air force arrived as scheduled.

Four fighter planes and eight bombers attacked cautiously in turns, dropping heavy aerial bombs on the sloped positions of the hill where the Eighth Route Army was located.

Generally speaking, the Japanese bombers carried light bombs of 60 kg and 100 kg.

But this time the Japanese spent a lot of money and directly used 250 kg and 500 kg heavy aerial bombs.

"Boom..." The sound of the bomb explosion was deafening, like a heavy drum hitting the chest hard, shaking the entire mountain, as if a mountain was collapsing and the earth was splitting.

The Japanese field artillery opened fire, and 12 field guns roared at the same time. The aerial bombs and artillery shells almost turned the position of the New st Regiment into a sea of ​​fire.

"Onboard..."

"Onboard..."

On the Japanese position, the devils saw this and raised their guns and shouted wildly.

The puppet troops were somewhat glad that they were not enemies of the locust army.

The firepower of this artillery and aerial bombs was simply not something that the Chinese army, armed with millet and rifles, could withstand.

"This is the true strength of the Locust Army."

At the headquarters of the Japanese 77th Regiment, the new commander, Colonel Haruhige Matsuo, lowered the binoculars from his chest, a cruel smile on his face: "Pass the order, as soon as the artillery fire stops, the 77rd Infantry Company and the Locust Army will immediately charge and capture the enemy's position!"

"The brigade commander ordered our regiment to capture Meng County today!"

"Hi!" The Japanese staff officer quickly went to convey the order.

The Japanese did not have much ammunition and stopped shelling after 10 minutes. The air force flew back to Taiyuan early after dropping heavy bombs.

"Kill me..."

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the squadron leader in the attack position suddenly stood up and pointed the saber in his hand forward.

More than 120 puppet soldiers in front and 200 Japanese soldiers in the back formed a skirmish line and rushed towards the position of the New st Regiment.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, soldiers from a company of the newly formed Fourth Battalion of the New First Regiment came out of the tunnel with weapons and ammunition, entered the position that was riddled with holes, and set up light and heavy machine guns and rifles.

On the distant hilltop, a logistics team composed of many militiamen and villagers were also observing secretly.

The newly formed Fourth Battalion is still on the battlefield this time. Most of the recruits are from the Jinzhong base area, and some of their relatives are among the soldiers.

For the soldiers of the newly formed Fourth Battalion, their loved ones are behind them, and they will never retreat even if they die in battle.

at the same time.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also set up a sniper position on the top of the mountain. Both of them were wearing ghillie suits made of cloth strips, and even the large-caliber sniper rifles were camouflaged with cloth strips. There was an observer wearing a ghillie suit beside each of them.

In the crosshairs of the sniper scope, Li Yunlong had already aimed at the Japanese squadron leader 400 meters away.

However, this Japanese squadron leader was rather cunning. Although he led the charge, he was only leading the Japanese soldiers to charge, and always kept a puppet soldier in front of him.

But Li Yunlong was not panicked at all, because his rifle could easily kill two enemies at once.

On the other side, Zhao Gang also opened the sniper scope, put the butt of the gun against his shoulder, and waited patiently.

"Da da da…"

"Boom boom boom..."

Seeing that the Japanese puppet troops had entered the front line of the New 50st Regiment within meters, the company commander with rich combat experience gave the order to open fire.

For a moment, various gunshots and explosions rang out densely.

The Japanese and the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment opened fire on each other, and the sounds of exploding artillery shells, firing of light and heavy machine guns, and explosions of mortars filled the air.

Behind the Japanese puppet army, a Japanese machine gunner was holding a Type 99 light machine gun and crazily firing at the position of the New 1st Regiment.

Zhao Gang aimed at the Japanese machine gunner and gently pulled the trigger. Immediately, a high-speed rotating 12.7mm sniper bullet shot down from above and smashed half of the Japanese sniper's body.

Soon, Zhao Gang fired two shots and killed another Japanese machine gunner.

Li Yunlong did not shoot immediately. He was waiting for the best opportunity to fire. Zhao Gang knew that Li Yunlong was aiming at the Japanese squadron leader, so he did not compete with him.

This Japanese squadron leader was very cunning. Whenever a fight broke out, he would hide behind the Japanese and puppet troops, or crawl behind the cover and wave his command knife.

Suddenly, the Japanese squadron leader's head popped out from behind the cover, obviously observing the battle situation in secret.

"Go away!"

Li Yunlong sneered and then pulled the trigger without hesitation. The distance from Li Yunlong to the Japanese squadron leader was about 400 meters.

The initial velocity of the large-caliber sniper rifle was close to 800 meters per second. Almost at the moment when Li Yunlong pulled the trigger, the Japanese captain's head was blown up. The huge force caused the headless body of the Japanese captain to fall on his back.

"Beautiful! We killed a Japanese squadron leader."

Hu Zi, who was acting as an observer beside him, spoke in an amazed tone.

Then he added: "At 1 o'clock, a Type 530 heavy machine gun was spotted firing at a distance of meters."

The Japanese light and heavy machine guns were generally placed two to three hundred meters behind the infantry to suppress the enemy's positions with firepower.

At that moment, Li Yunlong slowly turned the muzzle of the gun to point towards 1 o'clock.

As the muzzle rotates, the sniper scope also rotates with the muzzle.

Then Li Yunlong looked through the sniper scope and soon saw the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Japanese machine gunner in the sniper scope.

"Sneak attack!"

At this distance, there was almost no need to consider the impact of humidity. After aiming at the Japanese machine gunner, Li Yunlong pulled the trigger.

tom!
