Li Yunlong drew out the major general's command sword with a swishing sound.

A dim reflection shone on his face, making him feel a cold, biting chill.

"Good knife!" Li Yunlong commented with a satisfied expression.

Immediately, Kong Jie took the major general's command knife and played with it fondly.

Kong Jie had only captured the Zuoguan Sword at most, but this was the first time he saw the Jiangguan Sword, with an expression of surprise and curiosity on his face.

Li Yunlong, on the other hand, had touched the general's sword, and even had a command sword given by the emperor, and he didn't care about this general's sword.

What's more, even Shinozuka Yoshio's lieutenant general's command sword was confiscated, so a general's sword would naturally not arouse his interest.

However, the general's sword was sent to YA, and he definitely couldn't keep the general's sword, and it would probably be robbed by the brigade commander.

Li Yunlong asked Sun Desheng: "Where is the body of Yuesheng Toranosuke?"

"Brigadier" Sun Desheng turned around and pointed behind him, "Over there!"

The cavalry soldiers behind Sun Desheng moved out of the way, and Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Wei Dayong and Yang Liqing walked over.

"Sun Desheng, did you just say that the body was seized?" Li Yunlong asked, "Didn't your cavalry battalion kill Yuesheng Toranosuke?"

"It wasn't our cavalry battalion that killed him. When our cavalry battalion caught up," Sun Desheng said, "the Japanese Major General was already a corpse."

Wei Dayong stepped forward and lifted the white cloth, revealing the upper half of the corpse of Koshiki Toranosuke, and his true face could not be seen clearly.

In the original drama, Koshio Toranosuke never showed his face, and Wei Dayong couldn't tell whether it was him or not.

However, it can be judged from the major general rank worn on the collar and the major general's command sword that this should be Major General Koshiki Toranosuke, the commander of the Japanese 9th Brigade.

After taking a look at the broken leg, Wei Dayong stood up and said: "Brigadier Commander, Koshio Toranosuke probably had his legs broken by a shell and died of excessive blood loss."

"This Japs is quite unlucky." Kong Jie couldn't help but said with some joy, "Why are you exposing your position when you have nothing to do? Are you being bombarded now?"

In fact, Koshiki Toranosuke knew that there was a special force on the Eighth Route Army and noticed traces of the activities of the Eighth Route Scouts. All he had to do was transfer the headquarters in time.

However, although this old devil is cunning, he is also conceited enough and wants to eat up the Wolf Fang Squadron in one bite.

But he never expected that the Wolf Fang Squadron would not sneak into his headquarters to behead him, but instead call for artillery fire from a distance.

He also did not expect that the Eighth Route Army was no longer the same as before, and could mobilize more than 40 mountain artillery to carry out precise fire coverage on his headquarters from a distance of 6 kilometers.

This is equivalent to lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

Li Yunlong said: "Xiao Li, take off his clothes, dig a hole and bury him!"

Guard Xiao Li stepped forward and took off the gun of Toranosuke Koshiki and hung it on his body. He repeatedly pulled off the general uniform of Toranosuke Koshiki.

Wei Dayong immediately waved his hand, and two soldiers from the special operations group carried away the body of Yusheng Toranosuke.

Of course he didn't want to take care of the corpse of Koshiki Toranosuke. It would be best to expose the corpse in the wilderness and feed it to wolves.

However, Li Yunlong gave the order and he had no choice but to obey.

After settling this matter, Li Yunlong ordered: "Keep moving forward!"

The mighty team rushed towards the Japanese's second blockade.

About half an hour later, the main force of the special operations group arrived at the second blockade set up by the Japanese.

Seeing the arrival of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese and puppet troops hid in bunkers, strongholds and gun towers. Even the checkpoints on the road were quickly evacuated.

In front of the railway line is the Baijin Railway. The Japanese built a small stronghold at the intersection, which is at an angle to the nearby bunkers and gun towers.

The crossroads are the only way for large forces to break through. There are no roads nearby that can go around them. They must either take down these strongholds and gun towers, or force their way through.

After arriving at the blockade, Wei Dayong and Yang Liqing took Shen Quan and Liu Dali to quickly observe the terrain and the enemy's firepower deployment.

Lying on the slope, Yang Liqing put down his telescope and said: "A small stronghold, three gun towers, and three bunkers exposed outside. It is not clear whether there are bunkers. There are also defenses on the outside."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Liqing asked again: "Commander, how are you going to fight this battle?"

"It's very simple, infantry and artillery coordination." Wei Dayong said with a stern expression.

"How to coordinate infantry and artillery?" Yang Liqing asked.

Wei Dayong said.

"It's very simple. The infantry artillery first pulls out the Japanese gun towers and bunkers one by one."

"The first and second battalions each sent a company to attack from the left and right, and the artillery company's shooting elements were kept at a distance of one hundred meters from the infantry."

"Wait for the infantry to attack the front and rear, attracting the Japanese bunker to attack, and then the infantry artillery can kill the Japanese bunker."

Such critical battles had rarely been fought before, so infantry and artillery coordination tactics were not used.

Because this requires very high quality of artillery. For example, when the Japanese attack the opponent's position, the enemy's artillery will stop shelling when the infantry is several hundred meters away from the position.

Some Japanese soldiers even waited until the artillery bombardment was completed before sending out infantry to charge towards the opponent's position, for fear of accidentally injuring their own soldiers.

At a distance of one hundred meters, the attacking troops kept charging forward, and the artillery could easily accidentally injure one's own infantry.

However, Wei Dayong has absolute confidence in the artillery bombardment technology of Wang Chengzhu's artillery battery!

Proper use of infantry and artillery coordination tactics can greatly reduce the casualties of attacking troops!

At that moment, Wei Dayong issued an order. Shen Quan and Liu Dali each selected a company from the battalion as the attack force. The company commanders were Zhang Qing and Meng Fugui respectively.

These two companies are veterans of the original special operations battalion. The original three companies of the special operations battalion were split into three battalions of the special operations regiment.

Because of their strong combat effectiveness, these three companies have also become the sharp knife companies in each battalion of the special operations group.

It is perfect to use a sharp knife company to coordinate with the artillery company's infantry and artillery coordination tactics.

Following Wei Dayong's order, the artillery battery built an artillery position 1 kilometer away.

Four Type 92 infantry cannons and four Type 97 mortars were set up by the soldiers of the artillery company. The gunners quickly adjusted and fired at various elements, aiming directly at the Japanese gun towers and bunkers.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the special operations group is not equipped with mountain field artillery, the Type 92 infantry artillery is still powerful enough to deal with civil fortifications and general masonry fortifications.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie found a place to observe the attack of the special battle group and examine the combat level of the special battle group.

"Infantry artillery, high-explosive bombs, free fire!" Wang Chengzhu gave the order on the artillery position.

Immediately afterwards there was a muffled sound of "Boom, Boom, Boom", a few streaks of smoke instantly rose from the infantry cannon, and the high-explosive shells instantly escaped and shot towards the Japanese blockade.

A few seconds later, several violent explosions were heard from the blockade on the opposite side.

One artillery tower and another turret collapsed in an instant, and most of the Japanese and puppet soldiers inside were killed on the spot before they could escape.

The gunners quickly adjusted their shots according to the point of impact of the bullets, and then fired individually, shelling the Japanese gun towers and bunkers one by one.

After several rounds of shelling, the exposed gun towers and bunkers were all destroyed by the artillery battery!

Wang Chengzhu immediately ordered the artillery bombardment to stop and move the artillery positions forward.

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company and the 2nd Battalion and 4th Company held their guns and formed a formation and rushed towards the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The machine gunners searched for favorable terrain several hundred meters away, set up light and heavy machine guns, and fired at the Japanese positions to cover the infantry charge.

The marksmanship skills of these two companies are not only perfect, but they have been tempered in the flames of war. In addition, Wei Dayong used the system to improve his skills. The individual combat effectiveness is only stronger than that of the Japanese Class A division.

Moreover, each squad of these two companies has at least 2 Jin-made submachine guns, and each platoon has at least 2 light machine guns. They are also very powerful in terms of firepower.

Soon the soldiers rushed to a distance of 100 meters from the Japanese position, and all kinds of firepower on the Japanese position rang out like exploding beans.

After the artillery position of the rear artillery battery advanced 300 meters, the artillery position was quickly constructed, and four mortars and four infantry guns were quickly set up.

"The enemy position is directly in front of the target. Keep a distance of 100 meters from the 1st and 4th companies to block the shelling!"

Wang Chengzhu put down the telescope and immediately issued the order.

The gunner quickly adjusted the shooting elements and pushed the shell into the barrel or slid into the barrel.

"put!"

As Wang Chengzhu gave the order to fire, a muffled thud, thump, thump sounded from the artillery position.

The shells made several graceful arcs in mid-air, passed over the heads of the soldiers, and hit the Japanese positions.

Boom...boom...boom...

The Japs' forward position was instantly shrouded in fire and smoke, and the air waves and flying shrapnel generated by the explosion killed the Japs.

Immediately afterwards, another row of artillery shells fell, and the two machine gun fire points on the Japs' forward position were instantly silenced.

Seeing this, the charging soldiers rushed towards the Japanese position with guns in hand, firing while charging.

Wang Chengzhu saw everything clearly in the telescope, and immediately ordered: "Extend the artillery fire to the Japanese positions!"

Immediately afterwards, the gunners of the artillery battery quickly adjusted their shooting at Zhu Yuan, pointing the muzzle of the gun at the Japanese and puppet troops' positions deeper.

The Japanese had no machine gun firepower, and the soldiers quickly rushed into the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops. When they saw the Japanese, they were stunned.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the forward positions fled towards the rear, and happened to encounter an extended shelling from the artillery battery, resulting in heavy casualties.

After the soldiers finished clearing the Japs' forward positions, the Japs' rear positions were plowed by artillery fire.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers cooperated with infantry and artillery, fought and charged all the way, and soon cleared the enemy's outer positions.

At this time, the light and heavy machine guns of the two bunkers hidden under the haystacks began to scream wildly.

Five or six soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground. The soldiers reacted quickly and made evasive actions at the first opportunity. They rolled and shot and hid in the trenches dug by the Japanese.
