Chapter 965 Where Is Your Fucking Italian Cannon?
"Xiao Shen, this is for your own good." After the meeting, Zhao Gang came over to do ideological work for Shen Long. "We have seen the power of special operations. It can be said that it is your contribution that made Shanxi resist the Japanese. The work went into the counter-offensive phase much earlier than expected."
"However, in the end, the war can only be won by relying on large corps to fight head-on. If you have been only responsible for the work of special forces, it would be a waste of your talent; from the previous ambush, it can be seen that you are in a conventional war. , also has a good talent!" Zhao Gang talked eloquently, with the same meaning inside and outside, only when you enter the ranks of the regular army, can you get more space to play and make more contributions to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War.
Of course, this is also beneficial to Shen Long's promotion, but neither he nor Zhao Gang have time to think about these personal issues. They only care about one thing, how to drive the little devil out of China as soon as possible.
"I obey the arrangement. As long as I can kill some little devils, I can do anything!" Shen Long also realized this. Although the special forces are useful, the role of the regular army is irreplaceable. It will continue to expand. If you are just a company commander of a special company, there will definitely be much less room to play a role.
"You don't have to worry about the monks. The special company will continue to be under your command." Zhao Gang was very satisfied with his reaction. There are not many educated people in the Eighth Route Army. He has always valued Shen Long, and Shen Long never let him down. He was disappointed and created various miracles again and again.
The preparations for the battle were over, and the army was officially launched. The entire northwestern Shanxi was in chaos. Not only the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army, but also the anti-Japanese armed forces in various regions, including the bandit mountain king Xiaoju mountain forest, were all involved.
The reinforcement troops of the Japanese army stationed in Luyang ambushed in the middle of the road. First, they were attacked by a battalion of the Kuomintang army. After an hour of firefights, both sides suffered casualties. harassment.
Mine warfare and sparrow warfare are fought in turn. Tubalu has a variety of weapons. Guangxu's cannons, large poles, bird guns, matchlock guns, and firecrackers in tin buckets are crackling non-stop. The cannons are close-range The internal lethality is not small, dozens of kilograms of gunpowder wrapped in a large amount of iron sand and broken plow blades are sprayed out in a fan direction, and living targets within 30 to 40 meters are either killed or injured.
There are more and more wounded in the Japanese army. The commander ordered a small team to escort the wounded back to the stronghold. Whoever wanted to return to the stronghold was attacked by a group of bandits. All the soldiers in a small team died. According to the policy of communism, they first snatched the munitions, even stripped the clothes of the wounded, and then slaughtered all the wounded, and threw dozens of naked corpses on the road.
The Japanese army in Fu'an received the reinforcement order. As soon as they left the stronghold, they repeatedly stepped on landmines and sent engineers to detect the mines. They were instantly knocked down by the sudden machine gun fire. The Japanese commander ordered the attack to advance,
The troops fought as they walked, harassing them all the way, and within a few tens of kilometers, more than half of them were killed or injured.
After receiving the request for help from Ping'an County, the remaining senior officers in Taiyuan argued endlessly, and finally only sent a squadron to rescue, and took a train to Northwest Shanxi for reinforcements. After walking for tens of kilometers, the train stopped. The commander got out of the car and saw that more than ten kilometers of railroad tracks had disappeared.
They managed to get close to the outskirts of Ping'an County, but they encountered Chu Yunfei's ambush. Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment had been waiting for a long time. They had the anti-Japanese armed forces from all over the country under the command of the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese devils were on the way Constantly harassed by the anti-Japanese armed forces, he was already exhausted; Chu Yunfei paid a relatively small price to completely eliminate this squadron.
The reinforcements from all walks of life were constantly wiped out by this improvised coalition, and the little devils in Ping'an County became a lone army, but this did not mean that these little devils were easy to deal with.
Shen Long's plan encountered a small setback. These days, Ping'an County has stepped up its guard, and he and the soldiers of the special company have changed several plans, but there is no way to sneak into the city, so they have to attack by force.
Shen Long, Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang observed the enemy's defense line at a high point. The city wall of Ping'an County was built during the Ming Dynasty. Built with mortar, it is extremely strong, and the well-organized crenels reflect the tactical characteristics of the cold weapon era.
"Xiao Shen, have you seen any tricks?" Zhao Gang asked.
"It's not easy to fight!" Shen Long sighed. Although it was the city wall of the cold weapon era, for the Eighth Route Army who lacked heavy weapons, it was not an easy task to knock down the city wall and enter the city. It’s too big, and the enemy’s firepower network on the city wall is very dense, I think we should use cannons and machine guns to suppress the top of the city, put on a strong attack posture, and at the same time dig tunnels and place explosives under the city wall to blow up a hole in the city wall!”
"Just do as you said, you and I will command the machine guns and cannons, and I will arrange other people to dig the tunnel." Now that Xiuqin is not in the city, Li Yunlong is not so anxious, and went down to mobilize the troops after speaking.
Shen Long took another look at Ping'an County before following. Zhao Gang was a little curious, "What are you looking at?"
"This is the city wall built in the Ming Dynasty. I was thinking, how did the Ming army lose such a thick city wall back then? It feels like they are not as good as the Guo army!" Shen Long sighed.
The battle started at the north gate first, and in an instant, there were bursting bean-like gunshots from the other three directions. Light and heavy machine guns fired at each other from above and below the city. Their hands were itchy to see the heavy casualties. Li Yunlong pushed the machine gunner away and fired at the city wall with a 92-type heavy machine gun. Can't get up.
However, without the support of heavy artillery for the time being, coupled with the fact that the little devil has a condescending geographical position, the independent regiment is temporarily at a disadvantage. Now Li Yunlong is a little anxious, and shouted, "Second Battalion Commander, where is your **** Italian artillery? Pull me up!"
"Come on, come on!" Shen Long just came here at this time, and quickly adjusted the Schneider M1897 75mm field gun, also known as Miss Seventy-Five.
"Scholar, have you seen the heavy machine gun position at the top of the city? Find a way to shoot him!" Li Yunlong pointed at the top of the city and said.
