Empty.

Fake.

The underground ammunition depot in Beicheng District is empty, and there are only some empty ammunition boxes inside, which is a fake ammunition depot.

He consumed most of the 240 heavy artillery shells, more than half of the 150 heavy artillery shells, and a large number of other shells of various calibers, and the casualties were close to half of the Shou Chengbei District taken by the Imperial Army.

It's a trap.

It was Li Yunlong who deliberately threw it out to attract him to attack, contain his forces and firepower, and consume his cannonballs and living forces.

And he, after more than ten days of crazy bombardment and crazy attacks in the northern area of the city, nearly half of the imperial army of the wing fell here, which can be said to be very thorough in the plan, and it can be said that he was led by the nose.

For a while, Yoshio Shinozuka's mind was dizzy, his vision gradually blurred, and a sense of powerlessness came from all over his body.

At this moment, because the attack on Shou County had not been saved for more than ten days, and the Taiyuan airport was destroyed by shelling, the top level of the front army and even the top level of the base camp rebuked it many times, and the accumulated anxiety, anger, and grievances suddenly exploded.

With heavy and chaotic breathing, Yoshio Shinozuka did not take a breath back in his chest.

And then!

Poof····

He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.

"General."

The staff officers in the headquarters hurriedly rushed up to support their generals.

Yamamoto didn't react at the first time, he was thinking about a question in his heart.

The information on the ammunition depot in the north of Shou County is fake, and it is the target that Li Yunlong deliberately released to attract the imperial army to attack, so that is to say, Zhu Ziming, a spy, has more than ninety percent of the probability that he has been exposed, and even used by Li Yunlong.

"Yaga Ya Lu..."

Suddenly, Yamamoto's heart was furious.

He graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, and then entered the German Military Academy in Munich, Germany, where he received the most modern military education, and even served in the German army.

"Zhu Ziming..."

Yamamoto's tone suddenly gritted his teeth.

······

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"Now it is estimated that the little devil has discovered that the ammunition depot in the north of the city is a target."

Holding the binoculars and looking at the Chengbei District that had been occupied by devils in the distance, Grand Master Li was in a good mood.

The predetermined battle plan was almost entirely successful.

The devil airport was bombed, and there have never been any devil planes in the sky in Shou County in the past few days.

The plan to depot a fake ammunition depot in the north of the city was also successful.

At the beginning of the attack, the devils fired a large number of 240 heavy artillery shells at that side, blowing up the fake ammunition depot over there, and after that, the kind of 240 caliber heavy artillery rarely fired, and this alone has been bloodily earned, and the north of the city also consumed a large number of devils and other caliber shells, attracting a steady stream of devils to attack, so that the devils can't divide much strength to attack the two wings of the highlands, and now the two wings of the heights are still in the hands of the independent regiment.

"I don't know what the devil's expression is now."

Zhao Gang was also in a very good mood.

The longer the independent regiment holds out, the longer the more than 10,000 devils and puppet troops in front of it will be pinned, and the more time it will be able to buy for other base troops and ordinary people to transfer.

Even if they retreated in the later stage, the offensive power of the puppet army of more than 10,000 devils in front of them was also greatly consumed.

"Then that Zhu Ziming ·····"

Zhang Dabiao's eyes flashed fiercely.

Since the devil found out that the ammunition depot in the north of the city was fake, then the situation that Zhu Ziming's spy independent group had known for a long time, the devil must have also known about it, and it would be useless to keep this person.

"Don't do it yet."

Zhao Gang's tone was calm:

"Now the troops are fighting devils, and it is not suitable to find out spies, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of the soldiers and shake the morale of the army."

After a pause, Political Commissar Zhao continued:

"Now Zhu Ziming is digging bunker fortifications in the back, and when he retreats to the safe zone, it's not too late to settle the account, hum, presumably at that time, when our spy was the happiest, it was very suitable to do it."

"It's best to wait for him to contact the devil and catch a devil contact by the way. Or wait for the devil to take the initiative to expose him. ”

Political Commissar Zhao is not a merciful and bad heart, the devil puppet army who died in his hands is not a lot at all.

Zhu Ziming betrayed his comrades-in-arms, nearly ten lives of the intelligence officers of Shou County were all on him, and he dared to come back to sell his life to the devil and betray the secrets of the independent regiment, he would not have any mercy on this kind of person.

Hearing the words of their own political commissar, the corners of Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong twitched.

As soon as he retreated to the safety base, Zhu Ziming was probably ecstatic, and he was arrested·····

Readers are still ruthless enough.

"Zhang Dabiao."

Li Yunlong said suddenly:

"You take the troops to the two flanks of the heights, let the three battalions garrison the south defense line of the city, and then the focus of the devil's attack must be the two wings of the highlands, Wang Chengzhu and I will also ask him to transfer half of the artillery to support the two wings of the highlands."

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao quickly took the order and left.

······

vomited a mouthful of blood, but Yoshio Shinozuka was fine, and after he came to his senses, he also understood the situation.

After all, it was a powerful faction that relied on strength to climb to the position of lieutenant general, quickly adjusted his mentality and deployment, no longer entangled in the county seat of Shouxian, and gathered all his forces and firepower to launch an attack on the high ground on both flanks.

The battle in the north of the city wasted more than ten days of his time, consumed almost all of his 240 heavy artillery shells, and caused him to lose more than half of his wing, but it also made Yoshio Shinozuka understand that it was not advisable to continue attacking the county seat.

With the superior light firepower of the independent regiment, its familiarity with the terrain, and the mortar group that could never be eliminated, continuing to attack the county seat of Shou County could only make a mess and increase casualties.

Only by occupying the high ground on both flanks and using artillery fire from a high position can the battle be quickly resolved.

Li Yunlong had already responded calmly, transferred the first battalion to the two flanks of high ground for reinforcements, and mobilized artillery support, and the two sides launched a fierce battle for the two high grounds.

The devil's artillery fire is still sharp, the artillery occupies an absolute advantage, and the positions on the two wings of the hill between dozens of cannons have been flattened, especially the 150 heavy artillery shells, and the civil fortifications on the ground can hardly withstand one shot.

But the independent regiment was still nailed to the high ground on both flanks, and did not retreat a single step.

The first and second battalions, which had increased troops and supply lines, took the initiative to avoid the sharp edge of the devil's artillery, retreated when the artillery bombarded the high ground, hid in the anti-artillery holes on the rear uppers, and waited for the devil's artillery fire to stop, quickly rushed to the position, and drove down the devils who had just broken into the position again and again.

Seeing that the attack on the two flanks was blocked, Yoshio Shinozuka flexibly used the advantage of the attackers and the advantage of troops, and took advantage of the gap in the defense of the main force of the independent regiment on both flanks, and suddenly sent an entire wing to attack the county seat of Shouxian.

Even with the help of fortifications and tunnels, the third battalion could not cope with the attack of a wing of devils, and when it was caught off guard, almost the entire Shou County was occupied by devils.

Li Yunlong made a quick decision, personally led the troops to launch a night attack, and took advantage of the devil's unstable foothold to recapture half of Shou County, and then the two sides fell into a tragic war of attrition again, the county seat of Shou County and the two wings of the highlands changed hands many times, but the devils were never able to completely occupy the two wings of the highlands and the entire county.

The war lasted for more than half a month in such a repetition, and every day, whether it was an independent regiment or a devil, there were huge casualties.

The twenty-seventh day of the Battle of Shou County.

Nighttime.

Independent regiment and battalion-level cadres held a meeting, during which Zhang Dabiao counted the casualties again:

"So far, our regiment has suffered a total of 2,900 casualties, including 1,830 soldiers, and lost seven 82 mortars, two Type 92 infantry guns, and seven large-caliber heavy machine guns."

The voice fell, and the room fell silent.

At the beginning of the war, counting the recruit reserve battalion, the independent regiment was only 5,000 people, which means that the total casualties were more than half, and the casualties reached nearly one-third, which shows that the battle was only tragic.

The devil's artillery advantage is too great.

As for the equipment, it was even more devastating.

There are only ten heavy machine guns in total, and this time there will be only three left, and the Type 92 infantry guns are also completely wiped out, but the mortars are okay, and there are stocks in the troops to replenish.

"How many fighters are there who can fight?"

Li Yunlong's tone was very calm.

From the moment he decided to stick to Shou County, he knew very well that in this battle, the casualties would be extremely heavy.

The little devil's artillery advantage was great, and most of the soldiers who died in the independent regiment died under the devil's artillery fire.

and Yoshio Shinozuka took advantage of the vacancy of the independent regiment's strength to launch a wing-level attack, which was the day with the largest casualties in a single day of the independent regiment, and many heavy equipment did not have time to retreat and transfer, and the losses were very large.

In Grand Master Li's heart, he didn't want to fight a defensive battle, even if he was tempted by Brother Chen's price, even if the price seemed to be extremely high this time, he didn't want to fight this kind of bad battle at all.

With the help of the strong fortifications of Shou County and the complex and perfect fortification tunnel system, it can indeed effectively weaken the artillery advantage of the devil and give full play to the light firepower advantage of the independent regiment, but correspondingly, it also limits the mobility of the independent regiment and the suddenness of tactics.

What Grand Master Li wants the most, and what he is best at, is sports warfare, which is unexpected interspersed and infiltrated.

However, the devil's absolute superiority in artillery firepower, the absolute superiority in troops, and the decline in the quality of fighters brought about by the rapid expansion of the independent regiment of the department, coupled with the retreat of the huge number of people in the base area, in the past year or so, the population of the base area has increased too rapidly, especially in the base areas around the independent regiment, and the population has increased dramatically, resulting in a large increase in the number of people who need to be transferred, so he has to choose to defend Shou County.

Fortunately, more than 20 days of tragic actual combat tempering is still effective, although the losses are heavy, but the new fighters have also grown rapidly, especially those who have been trained for nearly half a year, after this battle, they have become an elite veteran at a very fast speed.

"The total number of troops capable of fighting at the moment is 3,000."

Zhang Dabiao replied.

There was obviously something wrong with this figure, there were 2,900 casualties, of which more than a third of the soldiers were killed, how could 3,000 people be ready to fight.

What's more, the total strength of the independent regiment was only 5,000 people, and Iwamori's artillery company also took more than 200 people.

Subsequently, Zhang Dabiao explained:

"There were a lot of militiamen and civilians who stayed behind to help us dig fortifications and evacuate the wounded, some of whom were directly absorbed into the army to participate in the fighting, and the other seriously wounded were transferred out."

"The people have helped us a lot."

Zhao Gang breathed a long sigh of relief.

The independent regiment can face 10,000 devils, 5,000 puppet troops, and a large number of heavy artillery to hold on for so long, even if it has sacrificed one-third of the battle and more than half of the casualties, it has not reduced its morale at all.

"Have all the people been evacuated?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang.

"The people around Shou County have been evacuated to a safe zone."

Zhao Gang nodded.

"It's time for us to retreat, too."

Li Yunlong let out a long sigh:

"After fighting for so long, the little belongings we have saved are almost used."

Although more than 150 tons of weapons and ammunition had been stockpiled before the war, the consumption of 5,000 men was also huge, and the shelling of Taiyuan alone consumed 30 tons, and the stocks of the 27-day combat independent regiment were almost at the bottom.

"Hmm."

Zhao Gang also nodded:

"It's time to retreat, the devil seems to have mobilized reinforcements again."

······

Outside Shou County.

Devil Command.

A staff officer was also reporting casualties:

"The Imperial Army has accumulated 3,590 dead and missing, and more than 2,000 wounded."

"More than 2,000 people were killed and missing in the Imperial Army."

The two words of the disappearance of the Imperial Allied Army, the staff officers bit hard.

As soon as the numbers came out, Yoshio Shinozuka's body crumbled again, frightening the staff officers, for fear that his general would vomit blood and faint again, but fortunately this time he survived and did not fall.

Taking a deep breath, Yoshio Shinozuka struggled to control his shaking wrists.

After all, his entire wing fell in Shou County, and the casualties reached one-half, not counting the Imperial Army, this time the Imperial Association Army he mobilized was a small number of troops with relatively strong combat effectiveness.

As for the disappearance of the staff officer's raised tone, he also knew that there were deserters, and there were quite a few. Even the elite Imperial Alliance Army is a group of wall grasses after all.

"Twenty-three Wing, when did the Thirty-Seven Wing arrive?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes were fierce.

The attack on Shou County was blocked, and the 10,000 army was pinned down for nearly a month, and he was blamed many times, but he also let the front army headquarters know that Shou County was the absolute main force of the Eighth Route Army, and General Gangcun mobilized two wings to reinforce him.

"Two wings will arrive tomorrow."

Yamamoto replied quickly.

"Yo Si."

Yoshio Shinozuka gritted his teeth: "Tomorrow, after the arrival of the two wings, a full-scale attack will be launched, and the first heavy artillery brigade will not need to save shells, and all the shells will be shot." ”
