Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

The Yangquan defenders felt something was wrong ten days ago. More and more new people were coming to Yangquan's vendors, and there were many new faces wandering around.

But after reporting the discovered situation to Lieutenant General Souchong, it was like sinking a stone into the sea.

Because Xiaozhong can't take care of it, the troops are now tight everywhere.

Recently, there is news that multiple strongholds have been pulled out, and they are getting closer and closer to Yangquan.

The Yangquan garrison strengthened its defense and mobilized domestic businessmen, police, and expatriates to guard Yangquan and the railway line.

Li Yunlong dispersed the Second Regiment, which was mainly artillery. These included recoilless rifles, and the other two regiments did not conduct recoilless rifle training.

High-tech stuff is not that easy to train.

Therefore, the Second Regiment retained the mortars and the two captured 75mm mountain guns and their related personnel, and the others were divided into the First Regiment and the Third Regiment to provide recoilless artillery fire support.

The First and Third Regiments also had some mortars, but not as many as the Third Regiment.

20 outstanding shooters formed 10 sniper teams, led by Liu Weiguo, to snipe freely.

The first regiment and the first battalion mainly attacked Yangquan Station;

The first unit of the second battalion seizes the commanding heights of Lion Brain, and the first unit of the second battalion blocks Xiyang’s enemies;

One part of the third battalion blocked Niangzi's reinforcements from Guanxi; the other part coordinated the attack on Yangquan Station from the east;

The third regiment and one battalion responded to the attack from the west in the direction of Yangquan Station;

The Second Battalion of the Third Regiment blocked the enemy coming from the direction of Taiyuan and Yu County;

The third regiment and the third battalion are the general reserve team.

At noon on August 8, the secret personnel who had sneaked in early withdrew. The attack officially started at 20 p.m.

The day was cloudy and oppressively hot. It indicates that a heavy rain is coming.

At 6 p.m., the troops began to move towards the target. By 8 o'clock, the peripheral obstacles had been cleared. The troops moved to build defenses 1 kilometer in front of Yangquan Station.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, following General Shi Chuan's order, countless signal bombs soared into the sky. Zhengtai Road was completely dyed red by artillery fire, complementing the sunset glow, as if urging the sunset flag to fall quickly.

Because the location of the enemy's artillery positions had been identified, more than two hundred mortars first carried out coverage and strikes on the identified artillery positions.

But something unexpected happened. When the troops moved towards Yangquan at 7 o'clock, the enemy troops on the periphery reported the situation to Banshui County No. [-], and before that, they discovered abnormalities among the station personnel.

Therefore, Banshui County No. [-] immediately ordered the artillery to move to the second position.

As a result, the first six hundred or so shells exploded into a lonely place. and encountered enemy artillery return fire.

Fortunately, the artillery of the Second Regiment was not all in one position, and the artillery position had certain defensive measures. Five mortars were lost.

The unattacked mortar immediately set up new firing units, and 2 minutes later it bombarded the enemy artillery position, suppressing the enemy's artillery fire.

The enemy's artillery positions are also protected by fortifications and are not so vulnerable.

After firing a few shots, the cannons were pulled into the bunker. Although some cannons would be blown up, they could not bear the disaster of annihilation.

It's just that if you do this, you can't fire with peace of mind, and the density and accuracy of the artillery fire will drop a lot.

The artillery of each battalion also opened fire one after another to cover the advance of the infantry and recoilless artillery.

Li Yunlong learned from the Japanese army's tactics and asked a few elite soldiers wearing body armor to conduct tentative attacks. After the enemy's fire points are exposed, use mortars and recoilless rifles to clear them out.

This kind of body armor even has a protective effect against Type [-] heavy machine gun bullets. But you can't feel like a superman when you put it on. Some parts can't be protected, and when you are hit, even if the body armor is not penetrated, the feeling will be uncomfortable. At least the surface will be bruised, as if you were beaten with a stick. pause. Maybe no one except Boss Dai likes this feeling.

These top soldiers are not willing to die, but they must try their best to ensure their own safety.

As they get closer and closer to the enemy's position, the enemy has to step up their resistance.

Mortars fired, grenade launchers fired grenades, and light and heavy machine guns fired.

Then our mortars fired back, and our heavy machine guns fired at each other.

The sniper team focuses on taking care of enemy artillery and heavy machine gunners.

Our heavy machine guns have been designed to be lightweight. The empty gun weighs only 10.8 kilograms, which is not much different from the Czech light machine gun.

One person can pick it up and run around.

This heavy machine gun comes with a bipod. When the bipod is unfolded, it can be used as a light machine gun, but it fires 12.7*108 mm bullets and has a much greater range and power than the light machine gun.

When using a tripod, it can be used to deal with clusters of living targets within two kilometers.

The shooting accuracy is very high. When equipped with aiming equipment, it can temporarily serve as an anti-material rifle when shooting a single shot.

On the other hand, the Japanese Type 27 heavy machine gun: the empty gun weighs more than 28 kilograms, and the gun frame is close to 55 kilograms, adding up to more than 800 kilograms. The effective range is about 7.7 meters. With a caliber of [-] mm, it lags behind our army's heavy machine guns in every aspect.

In terms of sniper rifles, the Japanese army is equipped with fewer sniper rifles. Even if there is one, it is modified from the Type 460 rifle. The effective range of this rifle is about 600 meters, and some can reach [-] meters.

There are two types of sniper rifles in our army: 8.6 mm and 12.7 mm. The effective range of both is 1500 meters, and the latter can be used against lightly armored targets.

Where there are fortifications such as bunkers and bunkers, recoilless rifles are used.

This kind of artillery hits moving targets, such as tanks, with an effective range of about four to five hundred meters;

But when hitting fixed targets, the effective range can reach nearly one kilometer.

What? Didn't a single shell fall? Then use two more rounds. If two rounds are not enough, then four rounds.

None of the fortifications at this time could withstand the bombardment of four recoilless artillery shells.

The only bad thing is: there is too much movement behind the recoilless rifle. Once you fire a shot, your ears will buzz. If you fire a few more shots, you will worry that your ears will be deafened. If there are people behind, they will be burned.

This is also the reason why only the second regiment can operate the recoilless rifle.

The Second Regiment has been training to operate this weapon for a longer period of time, and generally has a higher level of education than the other two regiments. It has a strong receptivity and learns quickly. I quickly understood the characteristics of this weapon and no more burns occurred after that.

When the enemy's firepower point was discovered, our 12.7mm heavy machine gun and 60mm mortar immediately followed.

The army and the current Li Yunlong are comparing their firepower density, and Li Yunlong has never been afraid of anyone.

This is the happiest and richest battle Li Yunlong has ever fought so far.

The Second Battalion of the [-]st Regiment encountered little resistance. After quickly eliminating the Xiyushan Mine Police Team, they captured Shi'nao Mountain.

Condescendingly bombarded Yangquan.

Although the geographical location of Shi'ao Mountain is important, the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan were tightly surrounded within an area of ​​less than 1 square kilometer and were unable to counterattack Shi'ao Mountain.

Stationed in Yangquan is the 4th Independent Infantry Battalion of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade. The captain is Lieutenant Colonel Sado Kawa Ryo, who is also the captain of the Yangquan Guards.

"Mr. Daohe, what did the headquarters say?"

"Let us hold on for 10 hours and send bombers for support early tomorrow morning."

"Baga, send another message to request tactical guidance. They say that more than half of our troops have suffered casualties and are surrounded in a small area of ​​less than 1 square kilometer. The Eighth Route has at least 500 people, nearly [-] mortars, and more than [-] heavy machine guns. . There is also a kind of artillery that we have never seen before. Our bunkers are often destroyed after being hit by one shot. We cannot hold on until tomorrow morning. If there are no troops to rescue, it is recommended to turn towards Yuci."

"Roms!"

"Give Lieutenant Colonel Harada power and ask him to shrink his defenses. If the Eighth Route Army destroys the railway, let him destroy it. Send two squadrons to reinforce Yangquan overnight. Let the [-]th Independent Infantry Battalion also send two squadrons to rush to reinforce from Xiyang."

"Hai, your Excellency, Commander, in addition, there is a group of veterans who have just passed through our defense area and are now at Xiapanshi. Is it okay..."

"If there's something going on, send a report to General Souchong for instructions."

"Roms!"

Dao Heliang arranged for someone to send the report.

After a while, I received a call back from the Taiyuan headquarters.

A few things to note when calling back:

First, Yangquan and Niangziguan are extremely important to the supply routes of the 1st Army and cannot be missed. Do not agree to transfer to Yuci;

Secondly, Niangziguan was also violently attacked. Since the defenders requested tactical guidance from your troops but received no reply, they directly sent a report to Souchong Yinan for help. Therefore, 800 retired soldiers rushed to Niangziguan for reinforcements. I hope your department will get in touch with the Niangziguan garrison in time.

Third, two squadrons of the 9th Infantry Battalion of the 40th Independent Mixed Brigade have been dispatched to assist your troops. Your troops can mobilize troops nearby to defeat the enemy.

Fourth, the night aviation force will take the risk of sending 12 bombers to provide air support to your troops. You can light a bonfire outside, and bombers can bomb the area outside the bonfire.

After receiving the call back, Banshui County No. [-] breathed a sigh of relief. Asked He Liang, "Have you received the telegram from Niangziguan asking for help?"

"Well, I might have received it."

"Baga! What does 'possibility' mean?"

"I have received a telegram from Niangziguan, but I haven't had time to read it yet."

Banshui County Er glared at Dao Heliang and said nothing more. Now is not the time to hold people accountable, but we still expect Dao Heliang to lead his troops in a bloody battle. So I immediately called someone back:

"The order has been received, and our unit will comply with it and plan to defend Yangquan to the death. At the same time, two squadrons will be sent from Shouyang and Xiyang for reinforcements. The clouds above our unit are thick and bombing is impossible. It is recommended that air support be launched tomorrow morning."

The reason why I was only half relieved was because although a total of 6 squadrons were dispatched from various places for reinforcements, they would definitely be blocked on the way and they might not be able to arrive tonight.

Fortunately, the sky was covered with dark clouds, there was lightning and thunder, and it was going to rain heavily.

The Eighth Route Army should not attack again when it rains.

Dao Heliang immediately went to look for the Niangziguan battle report. The battle at Niangziguan was also very fierce, and he was in a panic for a while.

Fortunately, the four newly built bunkers and gun towers played a big role. The attacking troops lacked heavy weapons.

There is a turret built on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the station.

To capture the station, you must first take down the turret.

Because it was an attack from the rear, the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties.

They started to climb up using a ladder. The Japanese in the turret threw explosives and blew up the ladder.

Dao Heliang felt that guarding his wife was not a big problem.

Moreover, 800 veterans are sending reinforcements to Niangziguan.

Moral support from many, scant support.

God is also helping Li Yunlong. Although it seems to be raining all the time, the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light. Only a few drops of rain fell, which did not affect the attack, but made it impossible for enemy aircraft to bomb.

In fact, Li Yunlong could have captured Yangquan quickly, but Li Yunlong did not want too many casualties. And there was no rush, as long as the enemy troops were held back, the masses were very supportive and helped the county brigade and district squad to remove a lot of railway tracks. At the same time, we must also give the surrounding New Regiment, New Second Regiment, 771st, and 772nd Regiment some opportunities to perform.

After attacking for three or four hours, Li Yunlong's troops suffered no more than a hundred casualties, and more than 1000 enemy troops were killed or wounded.

In Suohuang Town (it may not have been called Suohuang Town at that time, but the historical place name cannot be found out, so let’s just call it Suohuang Town earlier), Ding Wei of the New 1st Regiment led his troops to destroy Wuhai Road. The railway had not been built at that time, but Highways will also be destroyed. Digging ditches, blocking rocks, blowing up bridges, in short, preventing the Japanese from moving normally.

Although Li Yunlong's system cannot yet be exchanged for engineer shovels, thanks to improvements in equipment and living supplies, more manpower, material resources, and financial resources can be used in other areas. Therefore, a lot of shovels and pickaxes were also produced.

"Have the roads been dug out?"

"Don't worry, Captain, you can't even see the road in some places! It won't take more than ten and a half months to repair it."

"Great, withdraw your troops, go north, and destroy the next section."

At this moment, a scout came back to report: a group of Japanese soldiers came from the south, carrying mortars, heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers. There are about 500 people and no heavy artillery.

The new 1st regiment was the first regiment equipped by Li Yunlong after binding the system, except that it lacked the equipment unlocked after blocking Yamamoto. There are many other rifles, mortars, and grenades. It has also been expanded recently.

So Ding Wei didn't pay attention to these 500 Japanese.

"Well done. Now that you're here, don't leave. Don't think that I, Ding Wei, can't entertain you!"

"Pass my order: deploy for battle immediately. The second battalion sets off, detours behind the enemy's rear, and waits until all the enemies have passed. Then block the enemy's retreat and send out flares. The artillery battalion covers it with firepower. After the artillery stops, the third battalion attacks from both sides of the road. The battalions attack from the front. Each battalion keeps a distance from the enemy and takes advantage of our night fighting."

Because they were marching in a hurry at night, the leading Japanese soldiers were not far away, and their exploration was not detailed enough. The Second Battalion, which had taken a detour, was not found. He fell headlong into the trap set by the New 1st Regiment.

The two squadron captains looked at the two signal flares rising into the sky with confusion. Then they heard the whistling sound of the artillery shells, and then saw a fire dragon formed at the impact point of the artillery shells.

The team of 500 people was instantly reduced to half.

The Japs immediately sent someone to request tactical guidance, and the other Japs lay down to fight back.

But they didn't know where to go when they fired back. In the dark, it was difficult to judge the distance based only on the muzzle flash, and the distance seemed very far. We can only use our guns randomly.

The request for help telegram was not completed and was changed to a farewell telegram.

Only halfway through, the battle is over.

The two squadron commanders became the sieve.

The Japanese were worried about being dragged down by the puppet troops. This march was all Japanese, not Ergouzi.

Ding Wei also had plenty of ammunition. Like Li Yunlong, he had people shoot at the corpses on the ground to refill.

Then the battlefield was officially cleaned.

Although he has no shortage of weapons and ammunition, he cannot leave them on the street. If a child picks them up and plays with them, the consequences may be serious.

But the new 2nd group who were testing stones were not so lucky.

After destroying a section of the railway, an armored train arrived from the direction of Taiyuan. This thing was a hard nut to crack for the New 2nd Regiment, which had just been established and lacked heavy weapons.

It has heavy firepower, with heavy machine guns on every car, including the tender.

There were three carriages with heavy artillery. The armor is relatively thick, and even explosive packs cannot defeat it.

After paying the price of dozens of people, Kong Jie decided to let it go and let the independent brigade with heavy firepower deal with it.

At the same time, people rushed to report the news to Li Yunlong.

The most indispensable thing for Kong Jie's troops was horses. They originally wanted to set up a cavalry battalion, but were congratulated by the brigade commander and obediently sent half of them away, and only formed a cavalry company.

Li Yunlong replied: "When you encounter a difficult bone, just let it go, even if an armored division comes. But you must have stopped the infantry!"

At about one o'clock in the morning, the armored train arrived in Yangquan.

Afterwards, under the attack of dozens of armor-piercing bullets, it became the raw material for steelmaking in the base area.

Li Yunlong originally wanted to rest for a while and wait until 2 o'clock to start the attack. He could conquer Yangquan before 3 o'clock and withdraw before dawn after completing the damage.

This can also leave some time to surround the point by yourself, and the brothers and troops can call for reinforcements.

Otherwise, you will eat the bait early and the fish will not take the bait.

I couldn't sleep anymore, so I just stopped sleeping and prepared to attack immediately.

Banshui County Er has not slept, Niangziguan is not easy.

The Eighth Route Army on the edge of the cliff used human ladders if they lost their aerial ladders. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they had no intention of retreating.

The turrets are also crumbling.

Part of the Eighth Route Army bypassed the front and attacked other bunkers and gun towers.

There were constant telegrams asking for help from Niangziguan, but Yangquan had no troops to send. He had to report to Kazuo Souche, Yukio Kasahara and even Shun Shaochi.

There was silence outside for a short time, and suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire. It stopped again within a few minutes, and there were only sporadic gunfire and the sound of grenades exploding.

After that, the armored train could no longer be contacted, and the situation was probably in danger.

Immediately afterwards, I received half of the farewell message sent by Xiyang Jiubing.

Banshui County Er couldn't understand why the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was so strong.

Since they have such strong combat effectiveness, why not regain the four provinces of Taiyuan, Shimen, Beiping, Shandong, and Dongfang and withdraw themselves into the country.

After a while, gunshots and shouts began to sound outside again.

Banshui County Er fell down on the stool. It's over. His wife and children are still [-]% new, and they will become someone else's. It seemed as if he saw Shao Dijun saying to himself: "You can go to death with peace of mind. I will support your wife by myself, just like I did with Yoshiko."

Banshui County is in his early 50s, but now it seems like January 1982, 1.

Ban Shui was thinking wildly when Dao Heliang opened the door and walked in. Ban Shui reflexively threw the command sword in its sheath: "Thief Cao! You and I are at odds with each other!"

Dao Heliang was hit, but he didn't dare to get angry. He immediately stood up and replied "Ha Yi". This is the Japanese tradition: stand at attention when being beaten.

"Your Majesty Commander, we can't hold it anymore, can we use special ammunition?"

"Special ammunition? Yes, use it immediately, shoot them all out!"

Li Yunlong's troops were preparing for the final blow against the Japanese army in Yangquan when they suddenly heard the scream of artillery shells.

The soldiers immediately fell down, but did not hear the sound of the shell exploding.

Are they all stink bombs?

Li Yunlong didn't know what was going on, but the well-informed Zhao Gang exclaimed: "No! Gas bomb!"

Li Yunlong also reacted and ordered to withdraw from the battle. When the enemy uses poison gas, it is best if they can withdraw from the battle to ensure the lowest casualties.

Historically, no matter what kind of poisonous gas they encountered, the Eighth Route Army would "use the poison to stop it". This was because they were really unwilling to give up their position.

For the position and to complete the mission, even if you risk your life.

Now Li Yunlong is the first in life.

It doesn’t matter if Yangquan plays some time later, or even if he doesn’t win in the end.

Even if you win, you will eventually give up.

The poison gas used by the enemy is sneeze gas. This kind of poison gas attacks quickly. If you don't leave the poison gas area for 30 seconds, you will sneeze and vomit uncontrollably, and basically lose your combat effectiveness.

At this time, a ding was heard and the system sounded:

[The host made improper command and failed to consider the poisonous gas bombs used by the Japanese. Please let this system take action and deduct 1000 gold coins. 】

Li Yunlong grabbed Zhao Gang who was about to give an order, "Don't move, it's okay!". The soldiers on the position were not affected at all. The system sucked all the poison gas into the system space and threw it to Jupiter in space.

Zhao Gang thought he had made a mistake: Could it really be a stink bomb?

Knowing that the poison gas could not stop the Eighth Route Army, Banshui County Er was desperate. Let the communications troops send farewell messages and change into civilian clothes...

When the independent brigade captured the headquarters of the 4th independent mixed brigade, Erhe Daoheliang of Banshui County had disappeared...

As for the process of the attack, as well as the tragic situation of the Japanese being beaten, the desperate howling of the Japanese, etc., everyone can make up their own minds.
