Chapter 44 Good equipment is refreshing.

"Commander, are you looking for me?"

After receiving Wang Gensheng's message, Yan Sheng walked into the regiment headquarters with a smile on his face.

After the new arrival of 40 tons of weapons and ammunition, even excluding the 8 tons allocated to Kong Jie and the cannons and shells for Ding Wei, the independent regiment still has 60 mortars and 6 82 mortars, which can equip more than an artillery company.

As for the artillery shells, they are also very solid, there are nearly 2,000 rounds of 82 mortar reserves, and there are 8,000 60 mortar shells.

For an artillery soldier coming, especially the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, as long as there is a cannon in his hand and a solid shell in the warehouse, it is happiness.

So Captain Iwa has been very happy lately.

Moreover, whether it is 60 or 82 is a high-quality artillery, the failure rate is low and the accuracy is high, I don't know how much better than the government's own production, the shells are needless to say, they are loaded with a sufficient amount of black sorkin explosives, the power is huge and the lethality is enough, the fuse is also super high-quality, and there has not been a single dud bomb so far.

A cannon is a good cannon, and a cannonball is a good cannonball.

Double the sense of happiness!

"Sit."

Li Yunlong was looking at the map in his hand and pointed to the chair in front of the table.

Yan Sheng was not polite at all, pulled out a chair and sat on it directly, and then stretched his neck to look around, trying to find a snack or something in the regiment headquarters.

Like smoke?

Iwamori is an old smoking gun.

It's a pity that the regiment headquarters is empty, there are only a few empty wine bottles, and there is nothing else, but there is half a pack of devil cigarettes in the waist bag of Grand Master Li, which makes Yan Sheng very greedy, but he still doesn't dare to put his hand into Li Yunlong's pocket.

You're going to get beaten.

"How's the artillery battery training lately?"

Putting down the map in his hand, Li Yunlong asked.

"It went well."

Retracting the sight of the head of the regiment, Iwamori said: "The whole regiment has a total of ten artillery squads, 6 60 mortar shells, 4 82 mortar squads, each squad is currently able to fight alone, but the hit rate is still relatively poor, and there are only two gunners who can really handle it." ”

Although the 60 mortars were to be delegated to the fire companies of each battalion during the operation, they still belonged to the artillery company in terms of establishment, and they were trained by Iwamori in a unified manner when they were trained in peacetime or together with the artillery company.

After the last battle of ambushing the squadron of the Kwantung Army, the combat effectiveness of the artillery company has been greatly enhanced, and the twelve gunners carefully selected by Iwamori have all been given a lot of opportunities to shoot live ammunition, but there is a gap between people and people, and the training time is still short, only two can really be released to fight alone, and the rest still need a certain amount of time to practice.

"Come, see..."

"I plan to send a few artillery squads to harass the devil's artillery tower during the day with 60 guns."

Li Yunlong handed the map in his hand to Yan Sheng: "How about it, okay?" ”

The devil is repairing the turret in the base area, and Grand Master Li naturally can't let the devil repair it in peace, but he won't stupidly and rashly send troops to take the devil who repairs the turret.

There are almost 150 garrison devils in a squadron, and the current independent regiment can completely eat it, but the positions of the devils to repair the turrets are relatively tricky, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and in the case that the devils have built sufficient positions, the losses of the strong attack will definitely be very large.

Although the current independent regiment is well equipped, it is still almost meaningless when it comes to attacking fortified positions.

Therefore, Grand Master Li's first wave of counterattack was to send mortars to bombard the devils from a distance, so that the devils would not be at peace.

Anyway, there is enough ammunition for 60 guns, and there are only 2 kilograms per round with packaging, and there are 500 rounds per ton.

As for the 82 mortar, Grand Master Li is still a little reluctant at present, that thing shell is counted as a 6 kilogram package, although the power is huge, but it is not cost-effective.

"Shelling the devil to repair the turret?"

Looking at the map in his hand, Iwamori was silent and thought for a while before replying:

"It works."

"However, the devil's construction of the turret will definitely forcibly recruit the people nearby, and the shelling may injure the people by mistake."

With squad operations, guerrilla artillery bombardment is not difficult, even if the artillery company of the independent regiment is still young now, but Iwamori is worried about accidental injury, mortars are not like mountain artillery and infantry artillery, the accuracy is relatively low.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Li Yunlong took out the information collected by Wang Gensheng and handed it to Yan Sheng, snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "It is the common people who build the turret, but the devils are afraid of us, and each turret is equipped with a squadron of devil guards, more than a hundred devils, and it is impossible for all of them to be used to supervise the work." ”

"The devils have built machine gun bunkers and foxholes near the turret, and you greet them with cannonballs."

"That's fine."

Yan Sheng nodded happily: "The maximum firing range of the 60 mortars we are currently equipped with is one thousand six hundred meters, and the accuracy is extremely high, it can reach one percent accuracy, even if the gunner is not skilled, but within a thousand meters, a vertical walk will not exceed twenty meters." ”

After a pause, Yan Sheng's tone was puzzled:

"But, Commander, is this shelling useful? The speed of mortar shells is slow, the power of 60 mortars is not strong, and the devils are not stupid puppet troops, they will avoid it in advance, and the results will not be great. ”

The speed of the 60 mortar gun is less than two hundred meters, and it is an arc ballistic, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely avoid it when you hear the sound, prostrate or hide in the trench.

Moreover, the penetration of mortar shells is weak, mainly shrapnel, and there are not many big pits in the soil, once the devil lies in the bunker, unless the shell hits directly, otherwise there is not much danger, and the shelling alone, in the end, I am afraid that dozens of shells may not be able to kill a devil.

"It's okay, you can do live-fire training."

Li Yunlong smiled: "It's good to let the devil not live in peace." As for the shells, you don't have to worry, I'll allocate 2,000 rounds of 60 mortars for you, and let go of the fighting. ”

It's not a battlefield where bullets are flying and explosions are dense, and the devil will definitely hide when he hears the sound, such as the old devil Sakata, but the purpose of his shelling is to make the devil uneasy, and this is only the first step.

The devils are now gathered near the turret like hedgehogs, and he is a little difficult to start.

"Yes!"

Iwamori nodded.

The head of the regiment is afraid that he has some ideas.

Yan Sheng and Li Yunlong are old acquaintances, although they are not subordinates, but they have also been in the same group for a long time, and Master Li is very sinister, he is very understanding.

Before leaving, Yan Sheng also turned his head and silently glanced at the cigarette in Li Yunlong's pocket.

It's only half a pack, so don't even think about it, so I'm too lazy to speak.

······

"Are you saying that all the devils near our base are building turrets on a large scale?"

Looking at Zhao Gang who rushed back, Li Yunlong blinked, his tone was very surprised, and even had some regrets.

Now the devil specially inquired about the location of the independent regiment and increased the value of the bounty, which made Grand Master Li think that the devil's army was pressing the territory and building a large number of turrets just to deal with him alone!

For this reason, Grand Master Li was proud for a while.

"Yes."

Zhao Gang didn't find out what Grand Master Li was thinking, he was a little dignified:

"All of our base areas have been attacked by devils, and many of the connections between base areas have been cut off by devil turrets, and in the past two months, the scope of our base areas has been reduced by at least one-seventh."

This is Zhao Gang got the information from the headquarters.

"One in seven!"

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

The devil moves a lot, this number is a bit beyond his imagination.

"Hmm!"

Zhao Gang nodded and said: "The situation is not good, what should we do next, the more than 1,000 devils in Shou County must also be coming towards our base area, and when these dozen or so artillery towers are built, I am afraid that the area of our base area will be directly reduced by one-third." ”

Zhao Gang had already learned of the devil's movements.

The situation in various places, as well as the seventeen devil turrets rooted near the independent regiment, made him a little anxious, so that his tone was out of shape.

"The devil is fighting hard enough, our troops lack offensive weapons, and there is almost nothing to do in the face of the turret."

Li Yunlong didn't have any eager tone.

Today's situation is normal.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army, the devils have an obvious advantage, and they have many advantages, whether it is weapons and equipment, material supply, or combat effectiveness, the devils have the advantage.

The gap is so big, it's normal to be dominated by devils.

"However, the devil doesn't take us seriously, he wants to build a turret to encroach on the territory of labor and capital, and he also repairs seventeen at a time, and he doesn't ask me if I agree."

Li Yunlong snorted coldly.

What he is most worried about is that the devils are fighting steadily and steadily, slowly eroding the base area with half a brigade, that is, more than five or six hundred people, and advancing one village and one artillery tower, so that he will be very passive, and the devils of half a brigade, the current combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is difficult to eat, and it is even difficult to harass.

However, now the devils act as a squadron, and more than a dozen turrets are built together... The devil is in such a hurry, and Grand Master Li is not in a hurry.

"What are you going to do?"

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Zhao Gang asked.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Lao Zhao, you don't have to worry."

did not directly answer Zhao Gang's question, Li Yunlong first ripped off the topic:

"In the early stage, our development was too smooth, and the expansion of each base area was almost snowballing, and the sudden big move of the devil's hand made it inevitable that the territory of each base area would be compressed."

"Hmph..."

"Just look at it, our troops, those regiment commanders are all human spirits, and now the devils are menacing, at first they must be shrinking and observing, first look at the situation of the devils, and wait to find out the details of the devils, hum!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words with the taste of the rivers and lakes, Zhao Gang also completely calmed down.

The troops and devils have been coming and going for so long, and although the situation is grim now, it is much better than at the beginning.

"As for us here..."

"Hey, hey, hey·····"

Seeing that Zhao Gang was calm, Li Yunlong smiled and continued: "The devil has made great efforts to deal with our old Li Ke, and has sent a full brigade to deal with a labor-management regiment, and I have to entertain them slowly." ”

"Tell me about your plans." Zhao Gang's tone was calm.

Li Yunlong is like a scheming businessman planning the situation:

"Although the new devil is arrogant, he is still cautious, the location of the turret is an area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is inconvenient for the nearby large troops to perform, and a squadron was sent to defend, and the turret is built with simple field fortifications."

"It's not difficult to storm it, more than a hundred devils, a little field fortification, a battalion plus an artillery company can take it, but it's not cost-effective, even if we take it down, I'm afraid our losses are not small, it's not worth it."

"So, I'm going to play yin for the devil."

"Shaded?"

Zhao Gang was puzzled and curious.

"Yes, it's from the yin."

Li Yunlong's smile became more and more gloomy:

"The devil is afraid that my whole regiment will attack the turret that is still under construction, so he sent a squadron to guard, although he can win a squadron, but the battle is too bad, I don't dare to do this kind of thing, so I plan to send a single soldier to harass the devil..."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"You say, what will the devils do in the face of a single long-range mortar bombardment of the devil's position?"

Mortar fragments, sparrow warfare enhanced version... Zhao Gang immediately replied:

"Fortify positions, build anti-artillery bunkers, and then send small units to search for the artillery detachment that is pursuing us."

Combining offense and defense, the devil, as a well-trained army, will inevitably grasp it with both hands. That's what the devil did when he faced the sparrow war before, and Zhao Gang answered without thinking.

"Yes."

Li Yunlong nodded, and his smile became more and more gloomy:

"I have six mortars with a range of more than a kilometer, I have 8,000 rounds of shells in reserve, and I have a big mule, this guy marches faster than a man in the mountains, and he can't even think about catching up with the artillery squad unless he drives the car up the hill."

"In addition, Cao Mantang and Wang Xikui's new guns are almost familiar with them, and they can also be dispatched with the artillery squad."

"Hehe, when the devil is impatient to be harassed, he will inevitably send a squad-level unit to take the initiative to search, and when the time comes..."

Saying this, Li Yunlong stretched out his five fingers and clenched his fists fiercely.

"That's a good move."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang couldn't help laughing.

Li Yunlong's move is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it is sparrow warfare, but the equipment of the independent regiment is really good, mortars, sufficient ammunition, and accurate professional sniper rifles, as well as two shooters who can accurately shoot the enemy at 500 meters, so that the lethality of sparrow warfare has been qualitatively improved.

In the past, sparrow attacks were not a big threat to the devils, first, ordinary soldiers, more than 200 meters are difficult to hit accurately, and the accuracy of the guns themselves is low, second, two or three hundred meters away is easy to be discovered by the devils, once the devils catch up, it is difficult for the ambushed soldiers to escape.

But now, the artillery bombardment at a distance of one kilometer, plus mules and horses maneuvering, and when the devils catch up, the artillery squad will run away long ago, as long as they enter the mountain, the devils can't catch up if they want to, and the pursuing devils will be shot by two sharpshooters who use sniper rifles at a long distance.

Big mules, mortars, and professional sniper rifles and top marksmen... This feeling of bullying devils with superior weapons, when he thought of the helpless feeling of devils, Zhao Gang felt very comfortable.

It's even cooler than scolding Li Yunlong for being a bloody dog.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang glanced at Grand Master Li.

Grand Master Li was giggling at this time.

According to the previous new regiment, he will have a headache to death in the hands of the devil, so he can only find an opportunity to harden the devil and pull out the turret, which can be done, but the loss must be small, and now, the turret and the highway are all built, at least more than two months.

Labor and management have time to play with you.
