After the signal was transmitted, Li Yunlong immediately waved his hand and issued the order to fight.
Nearly 300 elite soldiers immediately took advantage of the cover of night to quietly move toward the barbed wire defense line outside the Japanese artillery testing site.
At this time, there are several observation towers behind the barbed wire fence.
The Japanese sentries who were carrying searchlights from time to time to investigate had already been touched by the commando soldiers.
Then they switched to commandos and continued to explore around with searchlights to paralyze the judgment of some Japanese and puppet troops in the rear defenses.
The next battle will proceed as planned.
The third combat team of the commando, which was the first to infiltrate, acted as an internal agent and touched some Japanese and puppet troops behind the barbed wire fortifications from the center line.
Coordinate the advance of Li Yunlong and other main combat troops.
The initial battle went on quietly until the barbed wire fence built by the Japanese army on the outside was cut open, the guard posts on the observation towers were shot down, and even the few Japanese machine gunners guarding the machine guns in the outside defenses were fired. Killed silently.
The entire artillery testing ground was still quiet, and the soldiers were not exposed.
That's what's great about commandos.
As long as they are not exposed, even their dozens of troops can achieve the terrifying power of killing several times or even ten times the enemy silently.
The third combat group advanced from the center line, and after taking care of more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops, it successfully rendezvoused with Li Yunlong and his party.
Then, under the leadership of several small groups divided by the third combat team, Li Yunlong divided the main force into several combat teams and followed up separately.
Everyone had a clear goal and headed straight for the Tongpu where some Japanese and puppet troops were resting at the edge of the Japanese artillery testing ground.
This is the biggest advantage of conducting night raids.
Once the outer fortifications were destroyed without being exposed, the enemy's garrison was successfully penetrated.
Next, you can even easily kill the enemy troops who are concentrated in Tongpu and are having a sweet dream.
"Check the watch!"
Before the operation, the commanders of each action team quickly checked the time.
According to the agreed-upon combat time, everyone will reach the entrances of various Japanese stores within ten minutes, lurking and waiting for the final time to attack simultaneously.
The little Japanese and puppet soldiers who were sleeping would never have thought of it in their dreams.
We live in a stable security area, dozens of kilometers away from the Eighth Route Army base, and even an artillery testing ground where military information is blocked.
Will be infiltrated by such an elusive Eighth Route Army.
The sound of the final battle suddenly came out.
Boom——
It was a series of almost simultaneous grenade explosions.
The soldiers swore that they had never dreamed that this little devil, whose fighting ability was not bad at ordinary times, would be so easy to kill as tonight.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers who were sleeping in Datongpu were gathered together. Ten or twenty people slept in one shop, and a few grenades were thrown in.
After several loud bangs.
Soldiers armed with submachine guns filed directly in through the entrance of Tongpu.
Then he held the submachine gun in his hand, which had already had its safety turned on, and started shooting suddenly at the struggling little Japanese who was luckily not dead after the grenade exploded.
The whole process was so miserable.
A group of Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers fell into a pool of blood before they had time to get up and pull up their pants.
The wetness of a large amount of blood quickly soaked into the sheets.
At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops scattered on guard outside Tongpu and defending the outer fortifications had already been quietly killed by the commandos.
This was in the middle of the night.
From the perspective of the Japanese and puppet troops, there was no need to collectively defend an artillery testing ground that had never had an accident.
The only ones who weren't asleep were a few Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers.
After the battle broke out instantly, some of the little devils who reacted quickly fled towards the communication room in a hurry.
While shouting words such as "ask for help" and "report" in Japanese.
It's a pity that Li Yunlong had already reached this point and asked Duan Peng to arrange a team in advance to guard the Japs' communications department.
As soon as the battle began, the commando soldiers immediately killed some of the Japs' communications soldiers and translators, and then directly occupied the Japs' communications room.
So until the battle went from being silent to suddenly bursting out with fierce gunshots, the dead silence of the night was instantly broken.
And every few minutes, the patter of gunshots marked the end.
The sound of the battle, including the news, about the Japanese army's artillery testing ground in Santai Township being attacked by Li Yunlong at night was not exposed at all.
In addition to the commando team immediately cutting off the Japanese communication system.
The main reason is that the Japs' artillery testing ground is located in a very remote location. In addition, when the Japs usually test artillery, there is always a deafening sound of artillery fire.
Even if it spreads far away, the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the surrounding towns may have already become accustomed to it.
It is also common for the Japanese to conduct artillery experiments at night to exercise their night artillery strike capabilities.
How could any kid think that the gunfire was because the artillery testing ground was attacked by the Eighth Route Army?
At least they won't think so in the short term.
The battle came suddenly, and the Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out without any effective resistance.
"Damn it, check carefully to see if there are any that are still alive. Don't miss one or two more and cause trouble for me!"
The battle to attack the Japanese artillery testing ground started quickly and ended equally quickly.
After the battle, Li Yunlong cursed and issued orders.
Lao Li got out of the shop and looked at the not particularly bright moon hanging in the sky, feeling a little emotional and hesitant.
Good guy, we Lao Li really have two brushes.
The blitzkrieg this time was simply beautiful. It was like a dream, and the largest artillery testing site of the Japanese First Army was destroyed!
Just as he was thinking proudly, Duan Peng rushed back to report in person: "Captain Li, according to your order, we indeed captured some little Japs in the Tongpu near the workshop. Unlike other Japs, they were sleeping. No guns were found in the place, they are probably those military workers you mentioned!"
"Haha, there is such a good thing, please take me over and have a look!"
Li Yunlong was immediately overjoyed and rushed all the way to the store.
With the help of the electric light turned on in the Guizitong shop, after pulling it open, the light instantly dispelled the darkness. He looked at the 20 or so little Japanese who were pinned in the corner by the soldiers and controlled by them, still wearing pajamas and shivering from the cold.
Li Yunlong, who immediately turned black and cursed: "Damn it, what are you doing?
Our Eighth Route Army gives preferential treatment to prisoners, and even more preferential treatment to talents. Maybe these will all be our Eighth Route Army's military talents in the future. It's such a cold day, at least let them put on their clothes! "
The soldiers reacted immediately and threw their clothes to the little devils.
When the Japanese were quite frightened, they put on their clothes.
Li Yunlong took a closer look. Although it was also a uniform, it was obviously not the Showa military uniform worn by Japanese soldiers.
It is unmistakable that they are the military talents of this artillery testing ground.
"Where's the translator?" Li Yunlong turned his head and shouted.
A guy with a big belly ran over quickly.
This guy used to be a translator for the Japs. Later, after he was captured in a certain battle, Li Yunlong saw that this guy knew some Japanese and was of some use, so he stayed with the New Second Regiment.
certainly.
In Lao Li's opinion, such a guy doesn't even have the backbone of a soldier, so he is naturally not worthy of joining the Eighth Route Army.
So it is equivalent to the external staff who temporarily stay in the New Second Regiment to work as translators.
"Captain!" fat translator
Came over.
Li Yunlong explained: "Let me tell you, you come to translate and tell these little devils, oh no, they are the military talents of the devils.
Just say that the artillery testing ground of their little devils is finished. It was Li Yunlong who knocked down their artillery testing ground.
But our Eighth Route Army is different from these beast-like little devils. We treat prisoners well. As long as they are willing to sincerely surrender to our Eighth Route Army, I will definitely treat them well.
After the war, if they behave well, we will even send them back home. "
"That's it. Finally, ask them what they mean. If they are willing to come with us, just pack up and leave with us!"
"Yes!" the fat translator responded, and immediately walked up to the little Japanese military personnel and began to translate.
Just looking through the light, those little devils, even though they were just military workers, were actually talking to the fat translator with unkind expressions.
Although Li Yunlong couldn't understand it, he could feel that it was definitely a curse word.
Li Yunlong looked at the fat translator, who said helplessly: "Captain, they don't seem to be willing to cooperate. They probably want to kill or behead them as we please, and they are unwilling to surrender."
"Damn you little bastards, they'll fight back if you rebel! Tie them all up for me, tie them tightly, and take them back first!"
"Eh!"
The platoon leader on the side nodded immediately. He couldn't wait for a long time. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers rushed forward, took the prepared hemp ropes, and tied up about 20 little devils.
It looked like there were more than 20 little devils tied up like fat pigs.
Duan Peng's face trembled.
Sure enough, Captain Li is someone who knows how to respect talents!
The military talents who had just finished dealing with the captured Japs.
A squad leader hurried over and reported to Li Yunlong excitedly:
"Captain, commander, go to that warehouse and take a look. We are really rich this time!"
Seeing the exaggerated excitement of the old squad leader in front of him, Li Yunlong couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, look at your little boy's potential, what have you seen? Are you shouting about getting rich?"
"Captain, you must have made a fortune. Go and take a look. It's such a large-caliber artillery. We soldiers can't recognize the specific artillery, but our heads can almost fit inside it!"
"Haha, it seems that our old Li guessed it right. There are indeed Japanese heavy artillery in this place!"
The overjoyed Li Yunlong, under the guidance of his old squad leader, hurried towards the warehouse where the Japanese stockpiled artillery.
After a while, Li Yunlong and Duan Peng arrived at the place. The soldiers were pulling the artillery together. It was difficult for seven or eight people to push the artillery with rollers.
Although Li Yunlong came from a humble background, he still had this vision, especially since the headquarters specifically requested that commanders at regiment level and above strengthen their studies and enhance their military knowledge.
With just one glance, Li Yunlong recognized the artillery in front of him:
"This is a Japanese 105mm field gun. It looks like a Type 91 field gun."
A young soldier on the side asked: "Captain, we have never seen the Japs use such a large cannon on the battlefield!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Silly boy, this is no ordinary artillery. It is much more powerful than the infantry artillery and regiment artillery we are usually familiar with. It is one of the types of heavy artillery.
This kind of heavy artillery is quite rare even among the Japs. As for the heavy field gun in front of you, it must be at least an elite combat unit at the Japs' brigade level or above, and the artillery unit under its jurisdiction will be assigned to it. of artillery.
It is a long-range suppressive artillery.
The more important role of this kind of artillery is to fight tough battles. Take for example the solid city wall fortifications in some counties where the Japanese focus on defense. Those things are hard enough.
But as long as you have such a heavy cannon, you might be able to blow it up.
But if this kind of heavy artillery is used to deal with our Eighth Route Army wanderers behind enemy lines,
Attacking the troops is a bit useless.
This thing is too bulky, even with wheels, it is difficult to push, so we basically never see it in the team of little Japanese behind enemy lines. "
"So that's what happened, Captain, are we getting rich this time?"
"Haha, not only have we made a fortune, we have also made a fortune this time!"
Looking at the warehouse in front of him that contained four 105mm field guns, Li Yunlong smiled so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.
This little devil was probably testing these heavy artillery here, and he got an advantage over Li Yunlong.
"Everyone, please be careful and don't damage the cannon. This thing is very heavy. Not ten people can do it. Twenty people can go together. Even if we lift it, we still have to lift the Japanese cannon onto our car!"
Li Yunlong explained specifically.
Then good news came one after another, in addition to the four 105mm field guns found in this warehouse.
The soldiers soon came to report to Li Yunlong one after another, and found various artillery pieces in other connected warehouses.
"This is a Japanese 75mm field gun."
"Type 97 70mm light mortar."
"Hey, this artillery is quite rare. It seems to be a 75mm field gun specially designed for the Japs Cavalry."
"Haha, I didn't expect there to be artillery with a caliber larger than 105mm. This artillery looks like a Japanese 150mm field howitzer!
Damn it, this cannon weighs several thousand kilograms at least. We will quickly pull our tractor vehicle over and find a way to take it back. "
Looking at the only artillery gun with a caliber over 105 mm.
Li Yunlong was so excited that he even asked someone to find a wooden ruler and measure the corresponding caliber.
This trip, Li Yunlong made a lot of money.
The Japanese First Army in Shanxi can be regarded as an elite combat division permanently stationed by the Japanese. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and the complete fall of Taiyuan, the Japanese First Army lived in the entire Shanxi, maintaining local security and providing support. On the frontal battlefield, one side deals with the Eighth Route Army troops behind enemy lines.
At first, when the First Army was relatively strong.
It has jurisdiction over the 36th, 37th, and 41st Divisions, as well as the independent mixed 3rd, 4th, 9th, and 16th Brigades, including all directly affiliated combat units.
It was also a force with strong troops and strong horses, and a huge momentum.
It is not surprising that the First Army, which has the largest artillery testing ground and processing plant under its jurisdiction, would temporarily stockpile artillery of various calibers and types in the warehouse.
"Haha, our old Li really got rich this time!"
Li Yunlong, who had previously scolded the old squad leader for being useless, was almost grinning...
