"Monk."

In Zuojiazhuang, the regimental headquarters of the original new regiment, Li Yunlong began to arrange combat missions.

"Yes."

Monk Wei responded loudly.

"You take the remaining members of the special squad, as well as the soldiers of a battalion of reconnaissance companies, to lurk into Heyuan County first."

Li Yunlong looked at his watch:

"The day after tomorrow is the birthday of Ichiro Hirata, the captain of the little devil gendarmerie, this old devil has chartered Juxian Tower to hold a birthday banquet, and invited the big and small devil officers of Heyuan County, the officers of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and those traitors and celebrities to participate."

"Wait until this group is here."

In the end, Li Yunlong was murderous.

"Yes."

The monk licked his lips, his eyes bloodthirsty.

Needless to say, the little devil officers, all of them should be damned, Heyuan County is close to the Zhao Jiayu base, the little devils have been suppressed very much, the number of puppet troops has been greatly reduced in the past year, and the two devils who originally just wanted to mess around have all taken off their yellow skins.

In the base area of the Independent Regiment, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is no problem in supporting your family.

The puppet army officers who are still following the devils, as well as the so-called bullshit celebrities, all of them are hardcore traitors, all turtle bastards, and they are innocent.

"The special squad, and a battalion of reconnaissance company fighters are almost one hundred and fifty people, it's no problem for all of them to lurk in, right?"

Zhao Gang, who came over on purpose, asked.

Recently, Political Commissar Zhao has basically paid no attention to military operations, and he came to inspect the terrain this time, preparing to build a light rail from Heyuan County to Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory after occupying Heyuan County.

Scrap steel will not be able to meet the needs of the base area in the future, and the Zhao Jiayu base area must build its own steel plant.

"No problem."

The monk's tone is confident:

"We only fought the little devils in Heyuan County once, and the little devils only moved the barracks afterwards, and the vigilance was not strengthened, I tried it the day before yesterday, and it was no problem to cooperate with the comrades in the city and bring a large-caliber heavy machine gun in."

"Okay."

Zhao Gang nodded with satisfaction.

After four years of tempering and more than 100 actual battles, the monk is no longer the big soldier, and now Wei Dayong is proficient in special operations, acting in a rough manner, and his command ability is also quite good.

"One company, three companies, and a temporary artillery company, commanded by Xu Husheng, set up a position near Pukougou to block reinforcements from Taiyuan."

"The second company, the second temporary artillery company, commanded by Luo Er, the commander of the second battalion, established a position in Dakouzhuang to block reinforcements in the direction of Fu'an."

Seeing the two lines of defense arranged by Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang couldn't help but smile.

These two lines of defense are arranged very far, especially Pukougou, which is more than 60 miles away from Heyuan County, which is completely out of the conventional blocking distance, of course, the political commissar also understands why it is so far away.

It's all about the tank business.

This time, the independent regiment has made full preparations for the attack on Heyuan County, and the special operation mode, coupled with a net attack on the top of the Japanese puppet army in Heyuan County, is expected to end the battle in six hours at most.

If the position is not arranged farther, maybe, before the blocking troops meet the devil reinforcements, the battle in Heyuan County will be over, and there will be two fewer blocking battles, so how many devils will have to be killed?

That's not going to work.

Therefore, in order to kill more devils, the blocking troops can only be kept farther away. Anyway, the troops have enough big mules, and this time a transport company is specially deployed, and the transport and maneuvering capabilities are sufficient.

"The rest of the troops will join me in attacking Heyuan County."

"Yes."

More than a dozen battalion and company officers responded in unison.

"This time, I don't need to save weapons and ammunition, I will fight openly."

Grand Master Li looked around and spoke in a heroic tone.

Not long ago, the air defense unit shot down a devil reconnaissance plane at a tank training ground, killed two devils, and gained a windfall of 300 tons of weapons and ammunition, plus several thousand tons of food and supplies.

"Yes."

This time, the voices of the battalion and company commanders were obviously much louder.

"Signal Corps."

Finally, Li Yunlong thought for a while, and suddenly called a communication soldier:

"The day after tomorrow, I sent a letter to the 358th Regiment, saying that Li Yunlong, the head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, invited the head of the Chu Regiment to watch the play, and the location was in Heyuan County."

"Yes."

The Signal Corps took the order and left.

At the same time.

Katsumura.

In the front command of the separate regiment.

Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment and chief of staff of the Independent Regiment, organized an operational meeting, which was attended by the commanders of the battalions and companies on the front line and Yan Sheng, the commander of the artillery company.

Zhang Dabiao exhaled loudly:

"The day after tomorrow, the little devil is likely to launch a large-scale counterattack, and I will be beaten hard when the time comes."

As soon as the news of the independent regiment's attack on Heyuan County reached the ears of Ping'an County, the devils would definitely take the opportunity to attack, there was no doubt about it, and Zhang Dabiao planned to beat the devils severely at that time.

He knew very well that the tank business had killed more than 7,900 devils, and there were only 2,007 short of 10,000.

When the quota reaches 10,000, each devil will add another ten tons of reinforced cement, and it is not an inferior product fired by the base itself, but a high-quality and high-grade product. This thing is urgently needed in the base, whether it is to build a warehouse or a bunker, it is an excellent thing. The extra rebar can also be used to build rails.

"What about us?"

Iwamori asked.

The 120 mortars were under the command of the battalions, and the new 105 howitzers and 160 heavy mortars under the unified command of the artillery units were not deployed on the front line, but there were still a hundred Bofors mountain guns on standby on the front line.

"All the same, you can let go of your hands and feet."

Zhang Dabiao said.

"Okay..."

Iwamori laughed with satisfaction.

Only 50 mountain guns were dispatched in the last battle, and the guns were all new artillery groups, and they were even used in turns, which was very inefficient, but after the last battle, the new artillery groups have matured, and this time, all 100 guns were dispatched, plus the mature artillery groups.

He must let the little devil have a good taste, what is called artillery coverage.

On the night of the next day, the Separate Regiment went into action.

The positions on the front line of the fierce battle were stockpiled with ammunition, the positions were reinforced, and the artillery group of 100 Bofors mountain guns of the 1st Artillery Company also received an order to bring in a large number of shells from the warehouse area.

The other side.

The monk took a special squad and a battalion of reconnaissance companies to the county seat of Heyuan County overnight.

"Tomorrow rest well during the day, and start moving as soon as you hear the sound of artillery at night."

The monk had two desert eagles pinned to his waist and a new recoilless cannon behind his back, and said to the three officers in charge.

Tomorrow night, he will lead a special team to raid Juxian Tower, eliminate the devil officers inside, and the reconnaissance company will be divided into three routes, all the way to block the devil barracks, all the way to attack the armory, and all the way to sneak attack the city wall to open the city gate for the attacking troops.

For this mission, the monk took a special squad and a battalion reconnaissance company to conduct long-term targeted training, and even simulated the environment of Heyuan County for actual combat drills according to detailed maps. Ammunition was also transported to the city in advance.

"Yes."

The captains should be.

Subsequently, more than 100 people quietly infiltrated the county seat of Heyuan County and lurked in various contact points in Heyuan County.

Because it is close to Zhao Jiayu's base and only about thirty kilometers away from the edge, there are a large number of independent regiment personnel lurking in Heyuan County, and there are quite a lot of contact points, and one hundred and fifty people can easily hide.

······

The next day.

Morning.

"Li Yunlong invited me to watch a play outside Heyuan County?"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Chu Yunfei's tone was puzzled and surprised.

The 358th Regiment is stationed near Heyuan County, so Heyuan County knows it very well.

There are 1,500 Japanese troops stationed in Heyuan County, equipped with four mountain guns, and the strength is not weak, of course, this strength is weaker than the current strength of the 358th Regiment, and the two sides have recently fought again, but the Japanese army in Heyuan County is in charge of commanding Ichiro Hirata Nakasa, who is very capable, plus the help of those puppet troops, the 358th Regiment did not take any advantage.

asked him to go to Heyuan County to watch a play, so that Chu Yunfei couldn't figure out Li Yunlong's thoughts for a while.

"What does Li Yunlong want to do?"

The deputy official meritorious voice is vigilant.

Ever since he saw the three 41-type mountain cannons, Fang Ligong had shown extreme vigilance and hostility towards the Independent Regiment.

They had long known that the group of Tubalu was building their own military equipment, and they also knew that they could make a lot of explosives, as well as produce rifles and machine guns, so the Jin Sui army even began to carry out intelligence spying.

But being able to make cannons is really beyond Fang Ligong's expectations.

The production of machine guns and the production of cannons are not at all of the same level.

Even if it is to use imported cannon steel to make cannons, it is far more difficult than to make machine guns and rifles, and the arsenal in the southern capital has only this technical ability, if it is its own cannon steel, plus those newly made shells, it is very bad.

The road is different, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Although the two sides are united in the War of Resistance against Japan and fight devils, after the little devils leave, one day they will meet each other, and the stronger that group of people, the more unfavorable it will be in the future.

"It's Ichiro Hirata's birthday, right?"

Chu Yunfei asked.

"Yes."

As a direct opponent, the 358th Regiment will naturally go all out to collect information on the devils in Heyuan County, and Fang Ligong immediately returned to Dao:

"A few days ago, Hirata Ichiro chartered the Juxian Building to invite all Japanese military officers in Heyuan County, officers of the Imperial Allied Army, and celebrities in the county to the banquet."

Chu Yunfei then snorted coldly:

"Since you invited someone to watch me to watch the play, how could I not go."

Then he called the signal soldier of the independent regiment outside and said:

"Please tell Head Li, I will go to the appointment on time."

After the signal soldiers of the Independent Regiment left, Fang Ligong was puzzled:

"Please go to Heyuan County to watch a play, what kind of medicine is sold in this Li Yunlong gourd? Could it be that he wanted to shell the Japanese garrison in the county seat of Heyuan County? To show off force? ”

After seeing the nameplate made by Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory, Fang Ligong immediately understood that the three 41-type mountain guns last time, as well as the more than 200 newly-made artillery shells, were deliberately sent by the Eighth Route Army, in order to deter the recent small actions of the intelligence department of the Jin Sui Army against the Taihang Mountain Arsenal.

"You'll find out when you go and see it."

Chu Yunfei patted his white-gloved hands.

He could guess what Li Yunlong had called him.

It's just about showing off in front of him.

The Independent Regiment once used 120 mortars to intensively shell the Japanese camp in Heyuan County, forcing the Japanese army to move the camp to a densely populated area in the city. But Chu Yunfei felt that things would not be so simple.

Although Li Yunlong is a sneer, he will definitely not be embarrassed in front of him about shelling the devil's camp, not to mention that this incident has happened before, with Li Yunlong's character, there must be some big moves.

The things that could make him Chu Yunfei unthinkable and shocking him would be called out.

But what could it be?

Chu Yunfei fell into deep thought, and soon, a thought appeared in his mind.

Could it be that Li Yunlong plans to conquer Heyuan County?

This incident can really shock him.

But soon Chu Yunfei rejected this idea.

The Independent Regiment is indeed very strong now, with mysterious weapons assistance, as well as material assistance, and the overall strength is three or even four times that of the 358th Regiment.

But if you want to take Heyuan County, unless the whole independent regiment is dispatched, plus the new first regiment and the new second regiment.

Heyuan County is close to Taiyuan, Fu'an, these two places have Japanese heavy troops stationed, especially Taiyuan, through the road, the Japanese reinforcements can arrive in less than a day, and there are also Shuiquan and other places to send reinforcements, the rapid march can also arrive within two days.

Unless Li Yunlong dared to ignore the more than 10,000 Japanese troops stationed in Ping'an County, the Independent Regiment would definitely not dare to attack Heyuan County. Of course, if Li Yunlong had siege heavy artillery, he could take Heyuan County in one day, but even if Li Yunlong had it, there would be no way for him to transport it.

Or, use his special forces to take out Ichiro Hirata at the birthday party?

Chu Yunfei thought of another possibility.

Because of the gendarmerie patrol system in Heyuan County, the county town can see patrolling Japanese military police at any time to maintain law and order, but the external alert is very low, and it is easy to sneak in.

"Tuanza."

Fang Ligong said suddenly, thinking about Chu Yunfei's thoughts:

"You have a good relationship with Li Yunlong, right?"

"Hmph."

Although he snorted coldly with disdain, Chu Yunfei also nodded.

"Recently, a mountain cannon in the regiment was damaged, and cracks appeared in the barrel and gun body, you can meet Li Yunlong this time and ask him to help repair it."

Fang Ligong said.

"Okay."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement.

He understood what his adjutant meant, this was to test the production capacity of the Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory, to see if it was the artillery steel made by the Eighth Route Army or imported from abroad.

The gap between these two points is huge.

Judging from their test of the three 41-type mountain guns, not only is the processing ability strong, but the cannon has high shooting accuracy, and the quality of the cannon steel used is extremely high, which is much better than that of the devils.

······

Time passed, and night fell.

Chu Yunfei took his guard platoon, standing on a high ground close to Heyuan County, holding a telescope to look at Heyuan County in the distance, and beside him, Fang Ligong was also holding a telescope.

"What time is it?"

Chu Yunfei put down the binoculars and tightened his yellow coat.

In the northwest of Shanxi in late October, the temperature at night is already very low, and standing on the top of this mountain, I feel a little cold.

Beside him, Fang Ligong looked at his watch and replied:

"Seven:25."

"It seems that the good show that Li Yunlong said should begin."

Chu Yunfei muttered to himself.

According to the letter sent by Li Yunlong, the show will start between seven and eight o'clock.

It will be until 7:30 a.m.

Outside the Juxian Building.

The monk led a special team of more than 20 people to lurk in a house, and outside, a soldier held a telescope and closely observed the Juxian Tower.

At this time, in the Juxian Building, the devil officers, puppet army officers, and traitors such as the so-called president of the maintenance association had already arrived and were full. Although the main owner, Ichiro Hirata, has not yet arrived, the house is not lively, because the traitors are busy patting the rest of the devil officers.

"Here we are."

The soldiers of the special squad in charge of observation saw Ichiro Hirata, who was wearing a devil's military cap.

"Wait another five minutes to do it."

The monk loaded the eighty-four recoilless guns in his hand with cannonballs.

Beside him, another special squad fighter also raised the recoilless gun in his hand.

Five minutes later, at 7:45 a.m., two 84-millimeter anti-personnel shells flew into the first floor of Juxian Tower with a dazzling flash of fire from the nozzle of Gustav's recoilless gun.

Boom...

The cannonballs exploded, and nearly 2,000 steel balls scattered at several times the speed of sound, and the devil puppet army in the house suddenly screamed.

Boom...

Immediately afterwards, two more steel ball killing bombs flew into the Juxian Tower.

"Up."

After four shells, the monk pointed to two desert eagles and led people into the Juxian Tower.

Looking around, the monk suddenly scolded:

"This cannon is so fucking exciting, not a single one is alive."

When the special squad opened fire, the devils were too concentrated, and they were all listening to Ichiro Hirata's crookedness, and they were basically wiped out by four shells.

"Continue the offensive along the streets and support the troops attacking the walls."

After giving a shot to a devil struggling in a pool of blood, the monk continued to attack the city gate with a special squad.

At this time, there were already gunfire in the city.

The moment when the cannon sounded.

At the south city gate, more than 50 soldiers of the reconnaissance company of the first battalion were armed with submachine guns, and with the support of recoilless guns, they launched an attack on the city gate.

In the barracks, a large number of devils rushed out in a hurry, blocked by mines, and the dense fire intertwined with nearly ten general-purpose machine guns, the squadron leader all went to participate in the birthday party, lost the unified command, and the devils could not break through the blockade for a long time to support the South City Gate and Juxian Tower.

Outside the city, under the cover of night, the four companies of the independent regiment had already approached the south city gate, the distance was only two kilometers, as soon as the cannon sounded, they immediately launched an attack, also because there was no strong command, in the face of the front and rear flanking attacks, within half an hour, all the firepower points of the peripheral positions were cleared by the new recoilless guns, the city gate was wide open, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the independent regiment rushed into the county seat.

"Sweep up the remnants."

Li Yunlong, who had been in the front-line troops, immediately ordered.

Without a command, the flies-headed devils of Heyuan County were quickly eliminated in the face of a large number of independent regiments equipped with submachine guns and direct artillery support from recoilless guns.

On the highlands outside Heyuan County.

Looking at the explosion and fire in the city and the flares rising at the city gate, Chu Yunfei said in disbelief:

"This is in, planning to hit the county seat?"

Beside him, the corners of Fang Ligong's mouth twitched for a while and he didn't speak.

The flares made the two see very clearly, the thousands of troops outside the city, the dense muzzle fireworks inside the city, the fact was already obvious - the independent regiment was attacking Heyuan County.

It seems that part of it has been entered, and the south gate of Heyuan County is also in danger.

"It should be that the troops were sent to lurk into Heyuan County in advance, and they took advantage of Ichiro Hirata's birthday to completely annihilate the Japanese officers, causing the devils to lose their unified command."

Chu Yunfei's tone was solemn.

The two did not speak afterwards, and looked at each other with solemn faces.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, as can be seen from the battle in the county, there are more than 100 people lurking in the independent regiment, and it is not easy for so many people to enter the county without being discovered by the devils.

Moreover, the two also found the direct-fire cannon that spewed huge flames.

"The gates are broken."

Ten minutes later, Fang Ligong suddenly shouted.

It can already be seen from here that under the flares and firelight, the southern gate of Heyuan County has been opened, and the soldiers of the independent regiment of the brigade have rushed into the county seat and began to sweep the streets one by one.

"What a quick fight."

After a long time, Chu Yunfei was full of horror.

Siege of the city, the most troublesome thing is street fighting, the devil has been running Heyuan County for so long, and there is a solid and reasonable defense system in the city, and from the first cannon sound, only two hours have passed now, and the independent regiment has occupied half of Heyuan County.

"Their kind of direct-fire artillery, it's very useful."

Fang Ligong observed the battle throughout the whole process, and naturally knew why the battle could progress so quickly.

"What kind of artillery is this? The power is comparable to that of the Type 92 infantry gun, and it seems that it can be used by individual soldiers. ”

Fang Ligong's tone was full of solemnity.

Direct-fire artillery, used by individual soldiers, can destroy machine gun bunkers, and greatly improve the combat effectiveness of a unit, Fang Ligong knows very well, plus such weapons appear in the hands of the 'enemy', this is not a good thing.

"It should be a recoilless gun."

The national government troops are not currently equipped with recoilless guns, so Fang Ligong is not clear, but Chu Yunfei can still guess.

·······

Just when Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment.

Taiyuan.

Yoshimoto Sadachi, who figured out the situation, also gave an order:

"Order the Yoshino Wing to immediately support Heyuan Prefecture."

The other side.

Shinji Kosa and Yamamoto also stormed the headquarters.
