"Recoilless cannon!"

In a half-buried bunker in the fourth line, Yamamoto gritted his teeth.

Through questioning the soldiers in the front-line stronghold, the well-informed Yamamoto Kazuki quickly learned why the outer positions of the fourth stronghold were completely cleared in just three hours.

The Separate Regiment has new weapons again.

A recoilless gun that can be used by individual soldiers, and is as powerful as the Type 92 infantry gun.

Those fortifications that focused on strengthening the mortar's defenses, machine-gun forts, were easily eliminated by the sudden appearance of direct-fire recoilless guns, one by one.

"Where did you get so many new weapons ······?"

Shinji Kosa on the side stopped scolding halfway through.

The source of the weapon is very clear to the empire, and it has been investigating for a long, long time, but ·····

"Are there any other new weapons?"

Yamamoto was asking a squadron leader on the front line at this time.

After receiving the news of the denial, Yamamoto immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really frightened by the endless new weapons of the independent regiment, and the range of the Bofors mountain cannon suddenly increased by three kilometers, and a new high-powered recoilless gun appeared, if another weapon appeared.

His heart accepted it.

But the front-line positions are estimated to be unable to withstand it.

"General Yamamoto."

Shinji Kosa looked at Yamamoto.

Yamamoto understood what Shinji Kosa meant—the new weapons of the Independent Regiment were emerging one after another, and it was impossible to prevent them, and if they continued to wear them down, the situation would definitely change beyond the two of them.

The devil knows what new weapons the Independence Regiment will suddenly pull out.

Therefore, it is necessary to respond in advance.

"Strengthen the third and fourth strongholds and strengthen the strength of the strongholds."

Yamamoto says:

"In front of the transfer of long-range cannon positions to the first stronghold."

The offensive plan can no longer be accelerated, and both materials and soldiers need to be prepared for a very long time, so time can only be exchanged for space, and there are a large number of semi-buried strongholds in the four roads, so how can they block the independent regiment for two months.

At this time, Yamamoto was glad in his heart, but fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations at the beginning, built four strongholds, and left enough buffer.

······

Heyuan County.

"Chu Yunfei is here?"

At dawn, the battle was completely over, and the last devil had been eliminated, and Li Yunlong, who had been directing the battle in front, heard the news from the communication soldiers.

Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army has been waiting for him outside for a long time.

"Let's go, meet him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yunlong suddenly stopped, and then said to the regimental staff officer on the side:

"Is Luo Er back?"

Luo Er, the commander of the second battalion, led the second company and the second temporary artillery company to block the reinforcements in the direction of Fu'an, but he ran in vain, and before the devil arrived at the ambush position, the battle on his side was over, and the devil's reinforcements retreated directly.

Through telegrams, Li Yunlong already knew the news.

"It wasn't long after I came back."

The staff officer replied.

"Let him take the second company, as well as the second company of the provisional artillery, to line up outside the city."

Li Yunlong smiled.

"Yes."

The regimental commander is going to be sneering again····· The corners of the staff officer's mouth twitched.

Li Yunlong took the monk and others to see Chu Yunfei, and the two teams were still far apart, so Li Yunlong greeted him first:

"Brother Chu."

"Brother Yunlong."

Chu Yunfei also greeted him with a smile.

"I'm really sorry, the resistance of the 1,500 devils in Heyuan County was quite fierce, and it took a lot of time to make Brother Yunfei wait for a long time."

Li Yunlong's words were apologetic, but his tone was full of pride.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words that he didn't even have the most basic disguise, the corners of Chu Yunfei's eyes jumped, and he even choked, and only after the corners of his mouth twitched before he continued:

"Brother Yunlong's independent regiment really lives up to its reputation, it captured Heyuan County in just one night and annihilated the devils of the two brigades, Brother Yunfei admires."

At this moment, Chu Yunfei suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the time when he was in the Independent Regiment.

It's still Zhao just right.

At least Zhao Gang's tone sounded more comfortable when he was scolding, unlike this guy, who made you envious, jealous, and uncomfortable.

However, in just one night, he broke through a county town garrisoned by two brigades of the Japanese army, which really shocked Chu Yunfei's heart.

It's not just that the weapons are advanced, and it's not just the luck that Ichiro Hirata is celebrating his birthday.

Even if the commanding officer of the devil is annihilated in advance, causing the devil in the city to lose his command, even if there is a recoilless cannon and there are enough shells, it is not so easy to completely occupy it.

Chu Yunfei has a deep understanding of how strong the little devil's will to resist is, and although the devil in Heyuan County is only a garrison brigade, it is not a straw bag.

In just one night, it completely took Heyuan County and annihilated 1,500 devils, which shows that the independent regiment not only has good weapons, but also has strong quality soldiers and strong command ability of officers.

is a real elite unit.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing what was hidden under Chu Yunfei's eyes, Li Yunlong let out a smug smile.

It's a feeling of comfort.

Putting away his smug smile, Li Yunlong continued:

"Now there are still some remnants of devils in the county, it's not safe, let's go outside the city to catch up."

Although he was wary of Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong also had to admit that in the entire national army, only Chu Yunfei was pleasing to the eye, and he was willing to really talk to this person, which was worthy of him as a friend.

"Okay."

Chu Yunfei didn't doubt him, this reason was indeed reasonable, so he followed Li Yunlong and walked out of the city.

The two chatted while walking, during which they chatted formally, and the topic was this siege battle, as well as the overall future situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and they chatted happily. , both of them consciously avoided sensitive topics.

As soon as he left the city, Chu Yunfei saw the second company outside the city, as well as the second temporary artillery company, and the transport team.

"This is..."

Here we go again... The scene in front of him made Chu Yunfei's pupils shrink.

At this time, the troops outside the city were lined up neatly, machine guns and mortars were neatly placed in front of the team, and at the back was the transport team. This pomp and circumstance is usually put out at the oath-taking meeting when the troops set off.

"Commander."

"The second company, the second artillery company is tentatively formed, and the second transportation team is back. Please ask the head of the regiment for instructions. ”

The second battalion commander Luo Er is also an old comrade, Kong Jie was in the independent regiment during the period, he knows his own commander's temper, and he is also well versed in Li Yunlong's style of acting, plus this time it is the Jin Sui Army, it is Chu Yunfei, and it is only a friendly army in theory, so he is very cooperative with the regiment commander.

"Hmm."

Li Yunlong nodded, and asked deliberately with great satisfaction:

"Didn't you fight the enemy?"

"At about two o'clock in the morning, the enemy reinforcements from Fu'an retreated five kilometers before they arrived at the intended blocking position."

Luo Er explained in a saluting gesture.

"It's a pity."

This time Li Yunlong really felt a pity, and there was no taste of sass.

After all, in a blocking battle, the results of the first round of heavy shelling may even occupy more than a third of the entire battle, and the subsequent casualties will be much less, and if this wave is missing, at least two or three No. 4 tanks will be lost.

Oh, and one less wave of ammo consumption.

Grand Master Li naturally knew that the battle in Ping'an County was also unexpectedly smooth, Zhang Dabiao commanded the troops to annihilate three devil brigades in front of the devil's position, and estimated that the total number of devils annihilated should be more than 10,000, and the distance of 15,000 was fast.

Ammunition depots are now well stocked, and there is no longer a need to deliberately conserve ammunition.

Although it can be consumed with live ammunition training, it is most suitable and effective to consume on the battlefield.

It's a pity······

The corners of Chu Yunfei's eyes jumped, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He really couldn't understand the meaning of Li Yunlong's words, and it stands to reason that in the combat operations that focused on attacking the county seat, the battle could be quickly ended, and the blocking troops did not exchange fire with the enemy's reinforcements, which was obviously a good thing.

Fewer casualties and less ammunition consumption.

It's a pity.

I don't understand it.

Confused, Chu Yunfei began to carefully look at the troops in front of him, and at this look, his expression stiffened on the spot.

The troops in front of him were lined up in layers, with infantry at the front, artillery in the middle, and transport teams at the rear, and he had heard clearly before that it was the second company that had returned to the team, the second company of the provisional artillery, and the transport team.

But...

Chu Yunfei counted.

There were more than 600 infantry in the front, eight artillery groups in the middle, and more than one reinforced company in the rear transport team.

This is an infantry company?

And then, an artillery battery of eight artillery crews?

Looking at the weapons and equipment piled up in front, as well as the ammunition box, Chu Yunfei's expression management was directly out of control.

Eight 120 mortars, six 82 mortars, twelve 60 mortars, two M2 heavy machine guns, more than forty universal machine guns fed with bullet chains, is this really the equipment of an infantry company plus an artillery battery?

Also, with so many ammunition boxes, it is estimated that there are dozens of tons of shells, what are you trying to do?

He even saw five radio stations, more than his entire regiment of the 358th Regiment.

"Brother Yunlong's independent regiment really lives up to its reputation."

Chu Yunfei said this sentence with some difficulty.

His guard platoon was able to testify that this time the troops had indeed just come from the direction of Fu'an, and he had also received news from the side of Brown Yanggou that the blocking force of the Independent Regiment had exchanged fire with reinforcements from the Taiyuan side.

In other words, these troops were not deliberately put on display by Li Yunlong, but the independent regiment was indeed this weapon.

Chu Yunfei just managed his expression out of control, while Fang Ligong beside him was nervous, and even vigilance was written on his face, when he thought of fighting such a force in the future, Fang Ligong felt like a man.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Li Yunlong is very modest:

"So-so, so-so."

"Brother Yunlong."

Chu Yunfei controlled his expression and changed the topic, not intending to give Li Yunlong a chance to continue chattering:

"My regiment has a Bofors mountain cannon with a damaged barrel, I heard that there is a mechanical factory in your regiment's base area, which can repair weapons and equipment, can you do my brother a favor and repair this mountain gun?"

Is this trying to test the technology of Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory? Then let you open your eyes. Anyway, there is no need to hide this, it is a good thing to show it.

"Damaged barrels? No problem"

Li Yunlong directly agreed.

There are drawings in the Bofors Mountain Artillery Regiment, as well as a master master, and there is no problem in rebuilding a barrel.

"However, Brother Yunfei, this brother has a clear account, and it is not cheap to repair a cannon, especially this cannon barrel, which is not easy to make."

Grand Master Li is a good man who never helps in vain.

"That's easy to say."

Chu Yunfei naturally had already prepared:

"Scrap steel, ocean, or... Food stamps are fine. ”

"Okay, you send someone over to talk to the experts from my machine shop about the specific price."

Grand Master Li threw the matter to Sun Desheng.

He believed that Sun Desheng had many ways to let the people of the 358th Regiment know that the Zhao Jiayu Machinery Factory had the ability to produce high-quality cannon steel without divulging confidential information.

After Chu Yunfei left, Li Yunlong organized manpower to maintain law and order in Heyuan County, while Zhao Gang led the construction team to start surveying and mapping, preparing to build a road from Zhao Jiayu to Heyuan County, as well as build a light rail railway.

Meantime.

Zhengtai railway line.

"Move away, move all of them, and not a single screw will be left for the devil."

Cheng Shifa took more than 10,000 people from the base area, nearly 1,000 tons of sugar, grain, and the entire train away, and even the rails and sleepers were also taken away.

In the afternoon of the same day.

Taiyuan.

I didn't sleep for a day and a night, and the white-haired Yoshimoto Sadashi looked at the report in his hand:

"Heyuan County was occupied by the Independent Regiment, including the captain Ichiro Hirata, and the 1,500 people of the Military Police Brigade and the Garrison Brigade were all shattered."

"Last night, a transport train was attacked, and all the members of the garrison team were smashed, 1,000 tons of grain and sugar were robbed, and the train and a kilometer of railroad tracks around it were also robbed."

Hey...

Yoshimoto sighed deeply, and as he sighed, his hair fell even more.

He felt that he, the commander of the First Army, was down.

Jingle Bell ·····

The phone rang, Yoshimoto knotted the phone, and there was a loud scolding from General Gangmura, this time, Gangmura Ningji showed no mercy:

"Waste."

"Heyuan County was captured by Li Yunlong, and the transport train was hijacked, how did you become the commander of the First Army?"

“·····”

Gangcun Ningci is really very angry, Heyuan County is okay, after Ping'an County obtains a large number of materials, the importance of Heyuan County is also so important, but the transport train was robbed and lost a thousand tons of materials, which really made Gangcun Ningci very distressed.

That's a thousand tons of sugar and fine grains, which are very important materials in China.

After scolding for a long time, Gangmura Ningji finally warned:

"Yoshimoto-kun, if there is a problem again······"

The phone was hung up, and Sadachi Yoshimoto was also relieved.

His position as commander of the First Army was temporarily secured.

Then, Gibbon's eyes flashed:

"Call me General Yamamoto."

Li Yunlong troubled him, captured a county seat for him, and robbed him of a transport train, causing him to be scolded and almost losing his position.

······

Two days later.

Headquarters.

Staff.

"Staff Officer Mo, Li Yunlong knocked down Heyuan County?"

A few staff officers who had just returned to headquarters asked.

"Yes, it was shot down two days ago."

Staff Officer Mo was sorting out the documents, and he replied casually.

With the great development of the army and the large amount of materials imported from Li Yunlong's side, the life of the headquarters is getting better and better, the clothes are warm and well-fed, and the funds are also very sufficient. Even, not a single person in the entire base area went hungry.

"Isn't he confronting Ping'an County? Why did you suddenly take Heyuan County down quietly? ”

The staff officer was shocked.

The news about Li Yunlong is flying all over the sky, there is everything, and the news of Li Yunlong's capture of Ping'an County is circulating from time to time, so he thinks it is fake.

"And in just one night, Heyuan County was captured."

A staff officer said in a smug tone.

"So fast?"

Several staff officers who came back were shocked.

"Li Yunlong is a ghost and a ghost, the commander of the little devils in Heyuan County is organizing a birthday party, he sent people to infiltrate the county seat, took advantage of the birthday banquet to put the devil officers in a pot, and then opened the city gate with internal and external attacks, and wiped out 1,500 devils in Heyuan County in one night."

The staff officer who spoke spoke in an even more smug tone, as if he had done it.

"Awesome ·····"

The newly returned staff officers were amazed.

This sounds simple, but it is not easy to do, and if you want to seize these opportunities, the command level of the commander is extremely high.

"And."

The staff officer who spoke was even more energetic:

"Li Yunlong even deliberately pushed the position of the blocking force forward in the direction of Taiyuan by 20 kilometers, and beat the devil's reinforcements in vain, and as soon as the blocking position started, Heyuan County was defeated, and the devil's reinforcements could only retreat."

"This time, we played a record of 230 to 0."

"Shhh

The staff officers took a breath in unison.

Looking at the exclamations in the staff headquarters, Staff Officer Mo smiled.

Li Yunlong's raid on Heyuan County this time had a great impact, not only silenced many people who said that the independent regiment was just well equipped, but also greatly improved Li Yunlong's reputation.

······

A few days later.

Zhao Jiayu.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang walked into the regiment headquarters together.

"Eleven thousand."

Looking at the list in his hand, Li Yunlong smiled happily.

Contrary to his expectations, the previous battle not only completed the goal of 10,000, but also exceeded a few hundred, plus the fierce battle in the past few nights, there were only 4,000 devils from 15,000.

"Now, the problem of drugs is completely solved."

Zhao Gang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tank business, after reaching 10,000, each devil has ten tons of reinforced concrete, as well as two medical kits.

There was a fierce battle on the front line, and the soldiers were injured a lot, although President Liu set up a branch hospital in Zhao Jiayu, but there were too many wounded, and the medicine was a little nervous.

And now, with the number of medicines in Boss Chen's big medical package, it is enough for Zhao Jiayu's base to use, and there is even a huge surplus to support other base hospitals.

"It's a pity that Yoshimoto still hasn't stepped down."

Then Zhao Gang smacked.

"Looks like we're going to have to do it again."

Li Yunlong smiled:

"It just so happens that the new mountain cannon is in hand, and the extended-range bomb has also appeared, so let's take Taiyuan Airport first."

"The new mountain cannon is powerful, and the shells are also common with the new howitzer, and the Bofors mountain cannon can also be eliminated."

As he spoke, Li Yunlong opened a new atlas of weapons information.

On the cover is a three-view of an artillery piece, next to which there is a line of text - M56 camel-mounted 105 howitzer.
