As for how to fight this fast and fierce battle.
Li Yunlong’s analysis is very domineering:
"The little devil's strongholds, whether they are small or medium-sized strongholds or large strongholds, are actually only a few or two. For example, the large stronghold in front of us is wrapped with barbed wire and equipped with trenches on the outside. There is a perimeter a little further inside. The fortifications, plus two gun towers, and finally the bungalow buildings in the center of the stronghold.”
"This is the entire defense of the Japanese stronghold, and it is the building we want to attack."
"I, Li Yunlong, have been fighting for more than ten years, and have fought in more than a dozen critical battles, large and small, but I have never been as generous as I am today. I never dared to think about it before. I even hold a grenade like a treasure. .”
"Damn it, we're so rich now. We haven't missed any of the infantry cannons, projectiles, new explosive bags, grenade launchers, and light and heavy machine guns. With these guys, if we can't even take down a stronghold, I will Li Yunlong doesn’t need to hang around here anymore.”
"Listen up, this time we attack the Japanese stronghold. The specific deployment is very simple."
"Before attacking, Zhang Dabiao."
"arrive!"
"Arrange some brothers to avoid the minefields planted by the Japanese, and place remotely detonated explosive bags under the Japanese barbed wire in advance. After the battle starts, I blow up the Japanese barbed wire as soon as possible, so that the brothers can launch a charge."
"yes!"
"Pillar."
"Arrived!" Wang Chengzhu responded quickly.
Li Yunlong pointed to the two towering towers in the stronghold not far away and said, "Have you seen those two towers? Damn, they are brick and stone towers. The little devil is bullying us because we don't have artillery to attack the enemy. You think I It was a miserable life in the past! When the battle started, I used infantry artillery to knock down these two turrets, so that the stubborn little devil could see how powerful they were."
Wang Chengzhu was a little confused: "Deputy commander, but what the commander means is that the infantry artillery should not be used as much as possible, unless there are special circumstances. The commander said that good steel must be used on the blade."
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then scolded with a black face: "Bullshit, I used the infantry cannon to hit the Japanese gun towers, why didn't I use it on the blade? Only this method of attack can destroy the Japanese gun towers as quickly as possible, otherwise the Japanese gun towers will be destroyed." Once the firepower pours down, how many brothers will be killed or injured on our side?"
"Zhuzi, you have grown up, how long have you been in this independent group, and you don't even obey my orders?"
"Do you believe I will beat you?"
Wang Chengzhu trembled in fright, he did not dare to accept these words.
He was too convinced. He knew exactly what kind of temper Li Yunlong had.
In fact, to be honest, Wang Chengzhu also wanted to shoot this infantry artillery.
We have already brought the cannon, but we can't just use it as a decoration and then pull it back, right?
For artillerymen, what could be more enjoyable than firing cannons on the battlefield?
The deputy company commander Howitzer on the side even encouraged: "Company commander, fight! No matter how many shells are used, the deputy commander pays the bill for us. The order was given by the deputy commander, and the commander will not talk about us."
Li Yunlong said happily: "Hey, this kid is still smart."
Wang Chengzhu had no choice but to nodded and agreed.
"That's right! You used to be my soldier, so you can't turn your elbow outwards." Li Yunlong said happily: "After destroying the Japanese turret, the grenade firepower followed me to cover the attack."
"After this series of fire attacks, the little devil must have been stunned, and will probably retreat to the bungalow area and pillars in the center of the stronghold. At this time, the ten projectiles of your artillery battery will come in handy. Let me advance three One hundred meters, no matter how many explosives you bring, project them all into the Japanese bungalow."
"After the explosive packs are projected, the whole battalion launches a charge. Let me wipe out all the Japanese in the stronghold in the shortest possible time!"
"By the way, Zhang Dabiao, arrange another company, and with the cooperation of the local army and militia comrades, block the back road of the stronghold. Don't let me let even a little devil go."
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao responded.
…
Yangquan stronghold.
Captain Tanimura, the top military commander of the Japanese army, is worried these days because the surrounding small and medium-sized strongholds are constantly attacked by the Eighth Route Army.
However, he had not worried about the safety of the stronghold he was responsible for garrisoning.
Nothing else.
Even though the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale counterattack, the Imperial Army continued to suffer setbacks during this period. Transportation lines were attacked in large numbers, and stations, tunnels, communication stations, and strongholds were also destroyed in large numbers.
But the Japanese commanders still arrogantly believed that the Eighth Route Army could only use these clandestine methods.
The so-called sabotage operations were actually constantly avoiding combat. Once Japanese reinforcements arrived, the Eighth Route Army would immediately choose to retreat, not daring to show off with the Imperial Japanese Army.
In addition, Tanimura is very convinced that since the Eighth Route Army launched the offensive to destroy communication lines, it has been more than a month now. Although the Eighth Route Army has sneak attacks on many strongholds, most of them are small and medium-sized strongholds. It is incredible that a small team of the Imperial Army is stationed there. .
There is no precedent for a large stronghold like the one stationed in Tagacun to be breached.
In addition, there are county towns on three sides of the stronghold, so reinforcements can arrive quickly by road at any time. If transport trucks are used, the support troops can arrive in less than twenty minutes.
Therefore, the arrogant Tanimura believed that the Eighth Route Army did not even have the guts to break through the stronghold they were stationed in.
At four fifty in the morning.
Tanimura turned over in a daze, opened his eyes slightly, and then closed them tightly.
It's still some time before getting up, and the wake-up whistle hasn't sounded yet.
This time of lying in bed without getting up is often the happiest time of the day.
In a daze, Tanimura closed his eyes again, and then he seemed to have a dream. He dreamed that the Eighth Route Army came to attack his stronghold. There were quite a few people coming, and they were so densely packed that there must be a main force! As a result, he was severely wounded outside the fortifications of the stronghold.
The stupid Tubal soldiers rushed forward one after another, and the hands of the imperial machine gunners holding the gun handles were numbed by the shock.
Tanimura, who made great contributions, received high praise, and the general even personally wore a medal for him...
Boom!
The sudden violent explosion woke up Tanimura. He suddenly came to his senses and realized that it was a dream.
But it doesn't seem to be a dream.
"...Baga, there is gunfire! The Eighth Route Army is coming to attack the stronghold!"
Tanimura quickly stood up, quickly put on his clothes, and then blew the whistle, ordering all Japanese and puppet troops to assemble immediately.
Being suddenly attacked, Tanimura was shocked at first, then excited, and a smile even appeared on his lips involuntarily.
Could it be that my dream is coming true?
