October 28, 1940, Qijiang County
Behind a destroyed T-38 tank, Li Yunlong and several others were hiding there and smoking. From time to time, Japanese machine gun bullets shot over, hitting the armor plate of the tank and making sparks fly. Next to it were two tanks that were also destroyed.
Just now, Li Yunlong commanded the tank troops to participate in the attack, hoping to use tank guns to shoot at close range and smash through the Japanese concrete fortifications. Unexpectedly, the Japanese fortifications actually had anti-tank firepower. After a while, three tanks were destroyed. On the contrary, This forced Li Yunlong to order the tank troops to retreat.
"Old Li, this is wrong. No matter how awesome you are, Old Li, you are not worthy of such a devil. This fortification is almost catching up with the fortress!" Ding Wei shouted while using a wooden stick to burn from the tank. He borrowed a fire from the flame and lit a cigarette. Obviously he didn't take the current situation seriously, it was just a small scene.
"Damn, you're really careless." Li Yunlong was a little annoyed, thinking that the worst was a bigger Japanese den. How could he have thought that it would be so difficult to defeat? After leaving northwest Shanxi, this was the first time he suffered such a big defeat.
"Old Li, let the aviation team send planes to bomb!" Kong Jie was a little anxious on the side. At the same time, he didn't forget to take the fire from Ding Wei's hand and light a cigarette for himself. It's been a long time since there was a war. Don't He said that he actually felt a little bit comfortable, and even the cigarette smelled much better when he smoked it. Roma cigarettes were really great!
"No, it's too close to the city. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal." Li Yunlong also wanted to use a plane, but he had also seen the aviation team's bombing training. To be honest, the technology was absolutely indescribable. Even the instructor Chen Zhigang In fact, it's just so-so. Let the air force bomb, let alone accidentally bombing, it may cause the loss of fighter planes.
Chen Zhigang: Chief, I haven’t learned dive bombing either.
"Lao Li, we can't just waste it like this, right?" Kong Jie was a little anxious.
"Captain, everything is ready!" At this moment, Wang Chengzhu ran over and rushed behind the tank with a sliding step. At this time, Wang Chengzhu was wearing a straight military uniform, an M35 steel helmet on his head, and a Luger P08 pistol on his waist. , where is the shy and childish look from Cangyunling?
"Then let's get started!" Li Yunlong smiled. He had made a backup plan long before the attack, but he never thought that it would actually come to this point.
Wang Chengzhu waved his hand behind, and soon, a 122mm howitzer appeared at the far corner of the street. The Japs at the dyeing shop immediately discovered this situation, and all kinds of firepower hit it at once, but it was really The distance was too far, and neither machine guns nor anti-tank weapons could penetrate the thick mantlet.
Instead of persuading them to surrender, after fixing the gun mount, the artillerymen immediately launched direct-aimed fire. After a bang, a 122mm high-explosive bomb hit the concrete front of the dyeing workshop. The huge shock shook Li Yunlong's buttocks. It shook and it hurt.
After the smoke cleared, although the wall was not broken open, a large crater was made on the wall, and there were some cracks. The firepower point closest to the explosion point was also muted.
But just a few seconds later, the perforation roared again, probably because the previous machine gunner was stunned. Compared to before, the Japanese focused their firepower on the cannon even more frantically. Under the heavy rain of bullets, one gunner was even injured by a ricochet accidentally.
However, this did not affect the speed of the shelling. Immediately afterwards, another shell hit the wall. Although it was far away from the previous impact point, it still hit the wall. Just like the previous time, there was still no impact. Can penetrate.
However, judging from the current cracking situation, this wall will definitely not be able to withstand it for long. Sure enough, after the third artillery shell hit the wall, a large hole with a diameter of one meter was finally made in it, which was completely penetrated. After passing through the cave, you can even see the corpses of several Japanese. It is obvious that the damage done to the Japanese is not small.
The same situation was happening in several other directions at the same time. In order to capture the dye house, Wang Chengzhu mobilized four cannons, one in each direction.
Behind the dye house, it had been broken open because of its masonry structure. However, like Li Yunlong's side, all the troops were not in a hurry to attack, but were waiting for further bombardment.
Finally, after firing nearly a hundred rounds of artillery shells and clearing all the fire points around the dye house, the troops launched an attack under the cover of tanks.
Because the T-38 tank was destroyed, Li Yunlong transferred Valentine tanks this time. In addition, he also replaced the troops with automatic weapons, hoping to resolve the battle quickly.
However, the Japs were still as tenacious as ever. Although they had been careful, they still lost seventy or eighty people in the process of encircling and suppressing the Japs. This made Li Yunlong jump in anger and become even more curious about this place.
At nightfall, with the last Japs killed, the battle finally came to an end. Including the man in a long gown that Li Yunlong wanted to capture alive, not one of the 138 Japs, men, women, old and young, surrendered.
And Li Yunlong finally figured out why there is such a Japanese stronghold here. Damn, this is not a stronghold of a special high school at all. This is actually the cargo hold of the Japanese Ministry of Finance, used for the turnover of opium.
After the Japanese occupied the four northeastern provinces, they began to force the people to plant large quantities of tobacco, and then dumped it into the interior for economic plunder. It is said that government departments should avoid doing this kind of thing, but the profits were too huge, and the Ministry of Finance was not allowed to do so. Bu jumped out personally and built such a large warehouse in Sichuan Province to radiate the southwest. Even when the war broke out, operations here did not stop, and the amount of smoke shipped from the four eastern provinces even doubled.
As for the reason, it goes without saying. It must be a bunch of messy accounts, but don’t worry. In fact, the Military Command Bureau and the Central Command Bureau are doing the same thing. Otherwise, there won’t be so many clouds in the occupied areas. Yes, the reason is also to destroy the economy of the occupied areas.
Economic warfare actually runs through the entire process. Counterfeit banknotes, minerals, drugs, and Western medicines are all involved in battles. The back and forth between you and me actually gave the military commander some faint advantages, just like the counterfeit banknotes. , the reason why the pseudo-government’s Central Reserve Bonds (Federal Reserve Bonds) collapsed so quickly was because of the work of the Military Command. On the other hand, the Special High School, until the end of the war, failed to completely destroy the credit system of legal currency.
Li Yunlong felt like scolding his mother. He had seized 20 million yuan worth of goods. It sounded really good, but he really didn't want to touch this harmful thing.
