Chapter Nine Hundred and Ninetieth Battle

Sitting at the bottom of the meeting room, Shen Long listened to Xu Shuai talk about the military strategy for capturing Taiyuan, but his mind was a little distracted. Speaking of which, the two commanders in this battle are really destined.

It is said that Boss Yan and Xu Shuai have an "eighteen relationship". Corps, and Yan Xishan decisive battle in Taiyuan.

The first time Xu Shuai came to Taiyuan, the provincial capital, was because he was admitted to the Provincial National Normal School founded by Boss Yan. At that time, Boss Yan often visited the campus, visited teachers and students, and lectured as a teacher; Xu Shuai, who was 18 years old, met his long-admired Boss Yan for the first time. After graduation, Xu Shuai worked as a teacher in Chuanzhi Primary School, which was founded by Boss Yan in his hometown of Hebian Village. Shancun Elementary School spent his life in a mediocre manner.

But now, the two people who used to live in a village only eighteen miles apart are about to decide the future fate of Shanxi. After thinking about it, Shen Long couldn't help feeling that the world is really more wonderful than this, right?

Regarding Xu Shuai's tactical strategy, Shen Long has no doubts. In terms of military talent, Xu Shuai is also among the top-ranked group in the People's Liberation Army, which is full of generals. In various rankings, Xu Shuai has never been in the top five, even before the old chief Li Yunlong.

Many previous battles have also proved Xu Shuai's ability. He led the inferior troops staying in the Luliang Mountains, repeatedly defeated Boss Yan and other Guo troops with fewer victories, and liberated half of the land in Shanxi. The 80,000 army surrounded Boss Yan's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, encircling more with less and leaving the enemy no chance to take advantage of it. Shen Long really admired it.

"Historically, Li Zicheng and Ban Hengzheng Shiro attacked Taiyuan twice. They first occupied the main peak of Dongshan Mountain, and then pushed westward until they broke through the city wall of Taiyuan. method, if you want to realize this tactic, you must first pull out the most critical part of Taiyuan's defense system - Niutuo village!"

Niutuo Village is a group of highlands in the east of Taiyuan City closest to the urban area. It can control Dongshan Mountain and overlook the whole city; Boss Yan pays special attention to the position of Niutuo Village. On this hill alone, he built ten reinforced concrete fortresses. There are three to four small bunkers connected to each big bunker with traffic trenches.

In front of the fortifications, there are cliffs with a height of several meters, and there are outer trenches and barbed wire all over the minefield; in terms of firepower equipment, there are crossfire nets between the bunkers, and each position is also equipped with 120 mortars, 50 Small cannons and grenades, and each soldier was also issued two or three incendiary bombs. The field artillery in the city can also directly support the defense on the position. Among the ten forts, the headquarters is located in the temple block. In addition, the tenth The elite of the corps also deployed heavy troops here.

"According to the report of the underground party members, there is a secret path that can go straight into Niutuo Village. This path is located at the junction of Yan Jun's two garrison areas. If the defense is neglected, it will undoubtedly have the miraculous effect of darkening the warehouse."

"Li Yunlong!" At this point, Xu Shuai was ready to arrange candidates, and Li Yunlong rose up in response, looking at the generals attending the meeting with a little complacency. This battle is undoubtedly the key to the liberation of Taiyuan. Niutuo Village occupied the high point around Taiyuan, opened the east gate of Taiyuan, and could go north and south, but now Xu Shuai handed over the task to himself, which is definitely the greatest glory of a soldier.

"I ordered your department to send a brigade to take down Niutuo Village along this route! I will give you a day! Can you complete the task!"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Li Yunlong replied loudly,

So this arduous battle fell on Li Yunlong's head, and after he got down, he handed over this task to Shen Long.

Shen Long's brigade is the most effective team under Li Yunlong's column, and is especially good at all kinds of tough battles. It is really appropriate to hand over Niutuo Village to him.

"Scholar, these bunkers are not the small bunkers we used to build. Since the little devils occupied Taiyuan, they have built permanent ground fortifications, underground tunnels and radar stations here. After Yan Laoxi returned to Taiyuan, he carried out another Reinforcement; with the 10 main towers as the support points, there are several auxiliary towers or firepower points surrounding each main tower, forming a defense system without dead ends of firepower." Li Yunlong took the materials and studied carefully with Shen Long.

"Except for No. 2 blockhouse, which is a 2-story rubble blockhouse, the rest of the main blockhouses are all 3-story rubble blockhouses, and 2 layers of reinforced concrete are poured between the 3 layers of rubble, with a wall thickness of more than 1.5 meters; this thickness can be fired by our rocket launcher." Don’t wear it! Scholar, do you have any good ideas?” Li Yunlong asked.

"No matter how thick the bunker is, there must be a shooting hole, right? Just point the rocket launcher at the shooting hole and hit it!" Shen Long replied calmly, not paying attention to these things at all.

"It's only you who have the ability. You are the right person to choose you to attack Niutuo Village!" Li Yunlong patted Shen Long on the shoulder and said, he was able to shoot rockets into the shooting port, and he was able to shoot the rockets along the firing port several times in the battle of Taiyuan. Of the participating teams, Shen Long is probably the only one who can do it. "However, there is another problem. The range of the rocket launcher is too short! It is far inferior to the enemy's machine gun, and is there any hiding place in front of the enemy's bunker? How do you plan to get close?" shooting?"

The bazooka used by the Americans in World War II had a direct range of only 100 meters. The bazooka designed and manufactured by Shen Long was naturally stronger than this, but it was not so powerful that it could exceed the range of a heavy machine gun.

"We are doing a surprise attack this time. I'm afraid we don't have time for tunnel operations, and the enemy will also call for support from the city's heavy artillery through the radio when they see us doing tunnel operations." Shen Long analyzed.

"Yeah, Yan Laoxi has given us a problem this time!" The key point is here. If it weren't for this problem, Li Yunlong felt that any brigade under him could easily take down Niutuo village.

"It's really not that easy to solve." Shen Long nodded.

"Hey, you can't even do anything about being a scholar this time?" Li Yunlong laughed.

"That's okay, this time I have to use a secret weapon! Didn't you always want to know what I was tinkering with? This time you can see it! This thing is suitable for this tough battle!" Shen Long was full of confidence said.

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Come on, scholar, let's go over and have a look?"

"Don't worry, you'll see it when you hit Niutuo Village!"
