Shen Quan is indeed jealous of the materials and ammunition supplies that the Japanese army has stored in the stronghold.
The blockade of the base areas by the Japanese and puppet troops became more and more strict, and even the independent regiments with abundant supplies began to become nervous, especially the lack of food.
The information Iwamatsu Yoshio received was indeed true: in order to save food, the main force of the independent regiment had to eat a meal of wild vegetables every two days.
Although the food stored in the Longgong Village stronghold is not much, it is enough to feed the whole group several meals.
In order to seize the food, he has been reluctant to use mountain artillery to bombard the stronghold, for fear that the cannonballs will blow up the food.
It wasn't until Kong Jie gave the order to attack that Shen Quan realized that he had forgotten the overall situation, and decisively issued an order to fire the mountain artillery company: "We have all the mountain artillery companies, and each gun fires five rounds rapidly. I will destroy the Longgong Village stronghold." To level the ground, fire cannons..."
The independent regiment attacked the position and saw the first battalion entering the Longgong Village stronghold. Kong Jie finally put down the telescope in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally we got it..."
"Notify the second battalion, the third battalion, the fourth battalion, the fifth battalion, the heavy artillery battalion, and the cavalry battalion to enter the position immediately!"
"Order Chen Quan to start acting according to the planned plan. We must introduce the reinforcements sent by Zuotou Division into the pocket formation and inflict heavy damage on them!"
After giving the order, he turned his attention to Huang Yu: "Xiao Huang... is there anything else you want to add?"
"The troops participating in the war must not be obsessed with fighting..." Huang Yu thought for a moment and added.
"Our mission is to severely damage the Japanese reinforcements and anger that old Japanese soldier Zuotou, not to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese reinforcements!"
"The troops participating in the war must attack strictly according to the plan, and withdraw when they hit. They must not fight with the Japanese!"
"This place is only 20 kilometers away from Yuanping County. Cavalry and cars can kill them in more than half an hour!"
"What if the attacking troops are stuck by Japanese reinforcements and unable to retreat... If their follow-up reinforcements come over again, the main force of the regiment will have no chance to save them!"
"Especially the cavalry battalion, they charge twice and then retreat. You must not be greedy for credit!"
Kong Jie immediately ordered the correspondent on the side: "Xiao Huang's words are my orders, upload them immediately!"
"During the battle, if any troops take advantage of the situation and advance rashly, I will punish them even if we win!"
Nishimura Daizuo was the captain of the reinforcements. He was riding a war horse and walking in the middle. While urging the troops to speed up, he raised his binoculars and looked ahead.
Very anxious, the independent regiment captured the stronghold of Longgong Village and ran away. They missed the battle and failed to get the first success in the sweep.
The cavalry captain on the side was also very anxious, watching Nishimura eager to challenge: "Sir... the cavalry is fast, why don't you let us kill him first?"
"Even if you don't join the battle right away, keeping an eye on the stronghold is still a deterrent!"
Nishimura Dazuo refused without hesitation: "No!"
"When we sent out troops, I considered letting you go first...but in the end I rejected this idea!"
"Intelligence shows that the Independent Regiment also has a cavalry, with a total strength of more than 500 people, 200 more than your cavalry captain!"
"If this cavalry is also in Longgong Village, and you kill them rashly, you will most likely fall into a trap!"
"There are only two cavalry captains in the middle sweep force. An accident must not happen before the sweep begins!"
"The troops are speeding up... we just received a telegram that the Longgong Village stronghold is still in our hands!"
"We must fight to the Dragon Palace Village stronghold within an hour!"
Half an hour later, the reinforcements could already see bursts of fire rising from the Longgong Village stronghold, and heard the faint sounds of firefights coming from the battlefield...
Nishimura Dazuo was very happy, clenching his fists and shouting: "The stronghold of Ryugong Village is still in our hands, and the independent group has not escaped yet..."
"The troops spread out into battle formation, and go directly to join the battle. Be sure to leave all the enemies on the scene behind, get a good start, and win the first victory in the big sweep!"
Huang Yu personally guarded the position of the heavy artillery battalion, with three telephones in front of him, all connected to the frontline observers.
The operator, correspondent, and battalion commander Chen Daliang are all here...
"Ding ding ding..." A phone suddenly rang, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The operator picked up the phone and listened for half a minute, put it down, turned around and reported to Chen Daliang: "Battal Commander... the Japs forward troops have entered the No. 1 artillery fire coverage area..."
Chen Daliang did not answer and turned to look at Huang Yu.
"Don't worry about them..."
"There is only one infantry squadron in the forward force...that is the weakest of the battalion. If you mess around, be careful that Shen Quan will fight for your life!"
Chen Daliang shook his head and said: "I have prepared thirty or forty artillery pieces for the Japanese. It would be a shame to blow up only one infantry squadron... Don't worry, Deputy Chief of Staff Huang, I can tell the difference between the important and the important!"
"Jingle Bell……"
The second phone rang quickly, and the operator listened for a full minute before putting it down: "Report to the battalion commander... The main force of the Japs has entered the No. 3 shelling area, with two squadrons..."
"Japanese troops also entered the No. 4 artillery fire coverage area, and there was a cavalry squadron..."
"Japanese troops have also entered the No. 1 artillery fire coverage area. The strength includes a mortar squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron..."
Chen Daliang nodded to express his understanding, but did not give any order to fire.
Until the fourth phone rang: "Battalion Commander, the main force of the Japanese has entered the No. 8 artillery fire coverage area..."
"The mountain artillery brigade cooperating with the operation entered the No. 3 artillery fire coverage area..."
"Only two infantry squadrons did not enter the artillery fire coverage area..."
Huang Yu suddenly interrupted: "Battle Commander Chen, it's time to start..."
"Order..." Chen Daliang couldn't bear it long ago and blurted out.
"The heavy artillery company aims at the artillery fire coverage area No. 3, the heavy mortar company aims at the artillery fire coverage area No. 2, the heavy mortar company aims at the artillery fire coverage area No. 4, the mountain artillery company aims at the artillery fire coverage area No. 1, and the field artillery company aims at the artillery fire coverage area No. 5 Artillery fire coverage area...fire immediately..."
Half a minute later, the dull sound of artillery fire sounded behind everyone, and dozens of shells whizzed past everyone's heads and hit the Japanese reinforcements one kilometer away...
As soon as Chen Daliang raised the telescope, dazzling flames rose up on the road connecting Longgong Village to Yuanping County, lighting up the sky...
After two or three seconds, the thunderous explosion reached Chen Daliang's ears...
Two minutes later, the entire section of the bombed highway was completely covered by artillery fire, and there were fireballs rising up everywhere. Chen Daliang ordered again: "The mountain artillery company immediately adjusted the firing crews and carried out artillery strikes on the No. 5 artillery fire coverage area!"
"The Second Heavy Mortar Company immediately covered the No. 6 shelling area with artillery fire..."
"The heavy artillery company immediately covered the No. 7 shelling area with artillery fire..."
"The heavy mortar company immediately covered the No. 8 shelling area with artillery fire..."
"All troops will execute immediately..."
