Chapter Forty-Three: To the North! Or to the south!

"Don't waste time"

"Hurry up to the next intersection"

The devil's 96-type machine gun is very good, much better than the crooked handle, but it is still far from being as good as the Czech type produced by the system, Li Yunlong naturally doesn't like it, so the soldiers collected some devil's rifles and bullets and then quickly ran to the next intersection with the team.

After organizing the troops to move forward, Li Yunlong found the herald:

"Inform the Fourth Company, follow up on our flank"

The herald carrying two red signal flags waved the flags to convey orders to the fourth company in the distance.

In this way, Li Yunlong took the artillery company and the first, second, and third companies in the light, while the fourth company followed up on one side in the dark, and the two teams quickly continued to march north...

"Fortify the position, Ono-kun, you take your team to scatter on all sides to investigate"

As soon as the battle on Li Yunlong's side ended, the devils at various intersections around him began to spread vigilance and strengthen defensive bunkers.

Devils are not fools either.

The 60 mortar can only be regarded as light firepower, but the explosion movement is not small at all, and it can be heard really within a few kilometers, and in the face of dozens of explosions in a row, the devil immediately realized that something was wrong.

It's just that they far underestimate the size of the enemy, as well as the situation.

This group of devils still thinks that they are the Eighth Route Army that came out to patrol and guard in the winter!

At an intersection, the captain of the devil brigade who was in charge of patrolling and commanding on the north side of Yangquan gathered more than 110 devils, intending to defeat the 'guerrillas' of the Eighth Route Army who had gone out to set up a guard in the winter in one fell swoop.

"Departure"

Wielding a katana and pointing to the sky, this young man is in high spirits.

A guerrilla force of more than 100 people dared to take the initiative to attack the imperial army.

Since you are looking for death·····

Then I will fulfill you!

······

The mountain road north of Yangquan was rugged and forked, and the devil guard group was not far apart, so the independent regiment led by Li Yunlong quickly arrived at the next devil picket intersection.

At this time, the devils at this cordoned intersection were already on high alert, and all the devils were hiding in bunkers.

"Hmph, did you know how to be vigilant after being beaten?"

"It's a pity it's late"

Looking at the devils on guard in the distance, Li Yunlong pursed his lips disdainfully.

Because of the underestimation of the enemy and laziness, none of the devils at the cordon intersection dug up a solid bunker, but only built a few sandbags to support the scene, and now in a hurry, these devils can only find some natural shelter points to hide.

Haystacks, ditches, rocks, these natural bunkers can resist bullets, and the effect is very good, if it was a former independent regiment, it might take a little effort to face these dozens of people.

There are not many machine guns, not enough bullets, poor accuracy, and poor suppression, so that the fighters can only stare at the devil fire charge·····

But this time, the Separate Regiment had mortars and plenty of shells, and the biggest drawback of these natural bunkers was that they had no protection against vertically falling mortar shells.

"Artillery battery preparation"

Li Yunlong ordered loudly:

"The devil's position at a distance of 500 meters from the target, firing at full speed, covered by artillery fire, and firing in a minute"

"The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies are ready to charge..."

With food in his hand, Grand Master Li also changed his previous attitude of buckling and slacking.

This time he opened up and hit hard.

The start of the game is a minute of rapid shooting.

The artillery company had five guns, but the staffing was a full 100 men, that is, every 20 men served one gun.

The 60 mortar weighs less than 20 kilograms, and a person can carry it around, which means that each gun has 19 fighters to transport shells, plus equipped with a special canvas transport backpack, each fighter can carry twenty shells, and some fighters even carry more.

"Open the gun"

After the artillery company was ready, Li Yunlong immediately ordered the artillery to be fired.

Bang Bang Bang ·

The fireworks of the five mortars flashed alternately, and dozens of shells flew straight to the positions of the devils, behind the sandbags, behind the fields, and in the ditches, the devils huddled up with their heads and hid behind them, praying that the shells would not hit their positions.

Boom Boom...

A puff of smoke from the explosion dispersed, mixed with dirt and rubble...

"Rush..."

As soon as the first shell landed, Li Yunlong personally rushed forward with three companies.

During the period when Li Yunlong led the people to charge, the artillery company still sent a steady stream of shells into the devil's position, the continuous explosion waves, and the absolutely weak troops, so that the devils could only organize sporadic counterattacks...

Those scattered firing points were either bombed into the sky by mortar guns or smashed into a sieve by the machine gun group of the independent regiment.

The battle ended quickly, and there was no suspense, even if the devil was ready, but the huge gap in strength and firepower made the devil not even set off a wave.

"Commander, there are more than a hundred devils coming a kilometer ahead"

Shortly after the battle ended, a scout soldier ran over to report to Li Yunlong.

"More than 100 devils"

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed.

There are only more than a hundred devils, and with his current strength, there is no pressure.

In terms of light weapons, he was not inferior to the Japanese army at all, and even had an advantage.

Machine gun fire, he is several times more than the devil, and two times more than the rifle.

Squadron-sized devils are armed only with grenadiers. And he has 60 pressures. The 50 caliber single grenadier is far inferior to the 60 mortar in terms of range and accuracy, and his shells are also sufficient.

And 500 against 100 is also an absolute advantage.

All-round superiority.

However, Grand Master Li did not intend to face it head-on.

The devil's marksmanship is not vegetarian, he just attacked more than 30 devils head-on, and in such an advantageous situation, he killed and injured several soldiers, and this is a frontal battle with more than 100 people, I am afraid that I will have to reimburse several platoons.

The difference in combat effectiveness between more than 100 devils and more than 30 devils is definitely more than six times.

Loss-making business, resolutely do not do it.

Spreading out the map and glancing at it, Li Yunlong immediately formulated a battle plan.

Calling a few messengers, he gave the order:

"Artillery company, set up a position on the high ground on the left, the second company, the third company, the right slope ambush, the first company to block and lure the enemy, in addition, notify the fourth company, from behind the devil bread copy"

"Labor and management are going to destroy this group of devils here"

Occupying the commanding heights and shelling, the superior forces set up ambushes, and the weak forces lured the enemy into depth, interspersed with attacks on the enemy's rear, Li Yunlong quickly drew up a battle plan, and a set of combined four consecutive moves beckoned him at the same time.

Meeting is a combination of punches.

The tactics of the independent regiment were perfectly executed, the commanding heights were shelled, the second and third companies were ambushed and hidden, and when the enemy approached, they suddenly attacked, the first company showed that the enemy attacked with weak lure, and the fourth company quickly interspersed with the fierce battle and suddenly attacked the rear of the devils, completely disrupting the enemy's formation.

The battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and the devils who were surrounded were completely defeated, and finally left more than 50 corpses to flee in a hurry, which was deliberately let go by Li Yunlong.

The devil's combat effectiveness is not weak, and the cost of completely annihilating this group of devils is too great.

There was no pursuit, Li Yunlong continued to take his five companies to quickly intersperse north of Yangquan, and beat up the devil when he saw it, during which he broke through a small artillery tower of the devil, and even attacked a devil's military station, burned the materials in the warehouse of the military station, and made a mess north of Yangquan.

Soon, the news was passed to Shinji Kosa of the Yangquan Headquarters...
