Chapter 391: White-hot!(1/2)
On the way to the mortar carriage, Li Yunlong suddenly asked Wei Dayong: "Monk, I understand that you got the plane. That's what you did on your trip to Yuncheng. But how come you got the armored train again and haven't been discovered by the Japanese yet?"
"
"Captain, this is a coincidence." Wei Dayong said with a smile, "After annihilating a Japanese regiment, our special operations battalion retreated from the south of Wenxixian to the northeast, and after more than ten hours of rapid march, we arrived at
In the Jiangxian area, I happened to meet Akamoto Akimoto escorting prisoners of war to Linfen. After killing the Japanese escorting the prisoners, I learned from Akamoto Akimoto that he would escort the prisoners of war to Taiyuan, and there would also be a large armored train to escort them.
I used a trick to sneak into Linfen Railway Station with Akamoto Mingyi, obtained this armored train, and brought more than 4,000 Chinese prisoners of war."
"Well done!" Li Yunlong's expression was full of disbelief. Wei Dayong was simply a lucky general of the independent group.
"Where is Akamoto Mingyi?" Zhao Gang asked, "I won't be killed by you, right?"
"How is that possible?" Wei Dayong said, "I, Wei Dayong, never kill prisoners of war. That guy seemed to be stimulated when he saw us bombarding Taiyuan with heavy artillery. I was afraid that he would commit suicide and have someone tie him up and lock him up."
"That's right." Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "You must be careful, this guy is worth the weapons and equipment of an entire regiment!"
However, the brigade commander extracted the key information from Wei Dayong's words and said: "Wait a minute, did you just say that a Japanese regiment was wiped out?"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also looked up at Wei Dayong again in disbelief.
"Did I hear you correctly?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened.
When we were in Yangquan, the Independent Regiment, the New Regiment, the 358th Regiment and a cavalry brigade all managed to kill a Japanese infantry regiment with great effort.
Are you crazy? One battalion wiped out the entire Japanese army?
"That's what happened."
Wei Dayong succinctly told the story of planting oil barrels and aerial bombs and burning an entire Japanese regiment to death.
After hearing this, the brigade commander, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Wei Dayong then went on to say that the plane bombing group bombed the Japanese 41st Division and killed thousands of Japanese troops including Japanese Lieutenant General Mano Goro, the division commander.
Only the boss and the others knew about the annihilation of the entire Japanese regiment, but the boss and the others also didn't know about the bombing of Mano Goro.
After the brigade commander, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang listened, their expressions and eyes became even weirder.
That’s awesome!
That’s awesome!
Each of these things is unbelievable, and most people would never dare to think about it, but Wei Dayong... actually accomplished it!
The brigade commander looked extremely satisfied.
A single battalion completely wiped out a Japanese infantry regiment, which is rare in the entire history of human warfare.
Although it was a trick, this was an achievement worthy of being written into the history books!
The brigade commander suddenly no longer wanted to rob Li Yunlong's cannon, but wanted to rob Wei Dayong, the chief of staff.
But then I thought about it, Wei Dayong was in the Independent Regiment, so he was his subordinate, whether he was robbing or not, it didn't matter.
The brigade commander, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Wei Dayong introduced them from artillery carriage C to mortar artillery carriage.
2 Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 Type 14 105mm cannons, and 1 Type 4 150mm howitzer.
The U-shaped gap that was blown out of the city wall was the masterpiece of this 150mm heavy howitzer.
The artillery shells are very sufficient, and each heavy gun in the carriage has a reserve of 300 rounds.
After visiting the 150mm howitzer on the mortar carriage, Li Yunlong almost cried out.
"Is this a fucking howitzer?"
"The barrel is really thick and big."
"Tsk, brigade commander, Lao Zhao, you look at the artillery shells. The weak artillerymen can't even lift them."
Zhao Gang also said happily: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a large-caliber cannon. It's a damn good thing!"
Although the brigade commander had more experience than Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, he had seen larger caliber heavy artillery when he was studying in the Soviet Union.
But after all, it’s someone else’s thing.
Right now, this large-caliber heavy artillery is the one in my hands!
There are currently very few such large-caliber heavy artillery in the entire national army.
The surprise and shock in the brigade commander's expression was not concealed at all, and his eyes were even hotter than those of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
After seeing other people's fighter planes and heavy artillery equipment, the brigade commander really hoped that the Eighth Route Army could also possess such weapons.
That way the soldiers can sacrifice less and kill more Japanese.
But there is no other way, we can only covet. Revolution is started with hammer and sickle, starting from nothing.
Now the Eighth Route Army not only has its own aircraft, but also its own heavy artillery.
No one could understand how excited the brigade commander was feeling at this moment.
If the battle wasn't raging now, the brigade commander would have been ready to sing a song to vent the excitement in his heart.
The brigade commander took Wei Dayong's hand, his expression was excited, and he looked at Wei Dayong affectionately.
This scene shocked Li Yunlong. Wasn't the brigade commander planning to rob Wei Dayong?
"Brigade Commander, I know what you are going to say." Wei Dayong said hurriedly, "If you want to praise us, we can wait until after the battle. Which of our troops is besieging Dongcheng?"
Anyone who knows the brigade commander knows that compared to other generals in our army, this general always has a unique style of painting.
In modern terms, I like to live a tidy life.
Although the 150mm howitzer and 105mm cannon are very powerful.
But after seeing various intercontinental missile, atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb explosion scenes on the Internet.
What he said was true, this was all a small scene.
However, Wei Dayong just thought about it in his mind and did not say it out loud, otherwise Li Yunlong would think that he had made a fortune and would act modestly.
"The one in Dongcheng is the 772nd Regiment. What's wrong?" The brigade commander quickly recovered from his excitement, and his face returned to a tenacious and confident expression.
Wei Dayong said.
"I just observed it through the periscope. After passing the train station, the railway track goes straight to the north and is parallel to the east city wall."
"Although our independent regiment has entered through the south city wall, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city are likely to counterattack."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If we can also blast a gap in the east city wall, the pressure on the independent regiment will be much less."
"Even the troops besieging the north can enter through the gap in the east wall."
"Once all the large forces enter the city, the pressure will be on the Japanese and puppet troops in the city."
"Just do it!" The brigade commander just thought for a moment and said calmly, "As long as the large army enters the outer city, the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely panic and call for help!"
Wei Dayong said: "However, I need the cooperation of the artillery battalion to suppress the Japanese and puppet troops on the east wall."
Although the Type 94 armored train is large, its protective armor is not strong. The thickness of the main armor is 10mm, and the thickness of other unimportant parts is only 6mm.
Although steel plates of this thickness can block bullets from heavy machine guns and rifles, armor-piercing projectiles from mountain guns and field guns can still pose a threat to armored trains.
With the artillery group cooperating to suppress the Jiazishan field artillery on the city wall, the armored train could fire at the city wall without any scruples.
"That's no problem." The brigade commander said, "Give me the order to immediately move the artillery group outside the east city wall and cooperate with the heavy artillery of the armored train to bombard the city wall."
Wei Dayong was also a little surprised when he heard this.
In the past, it was a big deal that a regiment of the Eighth Route Army had an artillery battery.
And now the brigade commander is called the artillery group. It seems that he made a fortune in Yangquan.
On the Eighth Route Army artillery position, Yao Shangwu was counting artillery shells.
An artillery group consisting of more than 60 guns of various types including mountain artillery, field artillery, infantry artillery and mortars.
In just two meals, more than 1,000 artillery shells and more than 100 smoke bombs were fired.
In other words, I made a fortune by attacking Yangquan and captured a lot of artillery shells. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have the capital to attack Yangquan.
Li Xiaoer, a communications soldier of the Independent Regiment, rode a fast horse to the artillery position, dismounted, saluted with a military salute and said: "Battle Commander Yao, the brigade commander ordered you to immediately bring the artillery group to the east of the city to assemble in coordination with the armored train.
The heavy artillery on board bombarded the city wall."
Yao Shangwu's expression changed and he said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please go back and tell the brigade commander that the artillery group will take action now!"
Yao Shangwu also yearned for the heavy artillery on the armored train and wanted to shoot two of them himself.
For soldiers who play with artillery, large-caliber heavy artillery is their feelings and dreams.
When he was the deputy battalion commander of the National Army, Yao Shangwu only fought mountain artillery and field artillery, and never even had a chance to touch a cannon.
The entire 33rd Group Army has only one cannon battalion, equipped with four imported 105mm howitzers, which is the strongest firepower of the group army.
The mortar crew began to dismantle the gun mount. Army horses pulled the mountain guns and field guns, and mules pulled the carts. On the carts were boxes of artillery shells.
Under Yao Shangwu's order, the artillery units began to move.
It took half an hour for the artillery group to arrive outside the east city wall, find a new artillery position and start setting up artillery.
To be continued...
