Chapter 122: Set a small goal!
After negotiating the business with Chen Feng, Li Yunlong began to think about how to deal with the Japanese artillery towers.
It was mainly aimed at the Japanese artillery towers in Yushe and Liaoxian counties.
There are also many Japanese artillery towers in Qixian County, but there is an organized Japanese regiment there, so Li Yunlong has no plans to go there for the time being.
The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the two counties of Yushe and Liaoxian each numbered about a thousand people.
The current situation in southeastern Shanxi is that the Japanese occupy the county towns and major transportation routes, but the rural areas are controlled by the Eighth Route Army.
There is no such thing as a defense zone. The enemy's turrets and communication lines are right there. Whether you can get meat from the enemy depends on your ability.
If you have the ability to get meat from the Japanese, you can celebrate the New Year every day, drink wine and eat meat. If you can't get it, you will go hungry and drink the northwest wind every day.
In the past, when the new regiment could develop into the main regiment, Li Yunlong used all his ideas to deal with the Japanese traitors, including camping, ambushing, digging traps, saping, and kidnapping.
There was a time when Li Yunlong didn't take the soldiers to do side jobs, and Li Yunlong even missed those days.
Yangcun, the new regiment headquarters.
Lu Yingjun and his sharp sword detachment had just returned from a reconnaissance trip to the Yuliao area.
Reporting to Li Yunlong.
"Captain, your guess is indeed correct, the Japanese are really on guard."
"That night we took down the three blockhouses on Yuliao Highway."
"Most of the Japs in the blockhouses on the Yuliao Highway were withdrawn to the strongholds around the county town."
The Japanese are afraid... Li Yunlong was really surprised when he heard this.
It's not common to be scared of Japanese soldiers in one night.
Li Yunlong asked: "Have the Japanese been evacuated from the gun towers in Liao County and Yushe?"
"That's not true." Lu Yingjun said, "Only the Japanese in the blockhouses on Yuliao Highway have evacuated."
Li Yunlong said in a disdainful tone: "The Japanese are also a bunch of cowards. They were frightened like this just after taking down three gun towers."
"But it's better this way. It's easier to fight only the puppet army's artillery towers."
"Let's set a small goal first and kill the 10 gun towers on Yuliao Highway."
The so-called Yuliao Highway is a road connecting Yushe County and Liaoxian County, with a length of about 50 kilometers.
There are 13 gun towers alone, and there is also a medium-sized stronghold at the junction of Liao County and Yushe County to guard the main traffic routes.
However, three of the gun towers on the Yu-Liao Highway in Liao County have been removed by the Sharp Sword Squadron.
Li Yunlong could make a fortune by taking down 10 turrets. How could Li Yunlong let go of this opportunity?
After a pause, Li Yunlong asked: "Have you clearly reconnoited the location of the gun towers on the Yuliao Highway and the approximate number of troops in the gun towers?"
Lu Yingjun marked the Japanese gun towers and strongholds on the map, and then answered.
"Everything has been investigated clearly."
"There are 4 blockhouses on the Yu-Liao Highway in Liao County, and 6 more in Yushe."
"There are probably only two or three Japs watching in each gun tower, and the others are puppet troops."
"The Lijiagou stronghold at the junction of the two counties originally had only more than 100 people. The Japanese in the gun towers have basically withdrawn into this stronghold. Now there are more than 200 people."
Li Yunlong looked at the map and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lijiagou stronghold?
very good. Although this stronghold is not as good as the Huting stronghold, it still has more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops. The price is higher than 2 gun towers and equivalent to 3 gun towers. This was negotiated in advance.
Looking at the gun towers and strongholds on the map, Li Yunlong seemed to see not the gun towers and strongholds, but rocket launchers and machine guns.
Li Yunlong thought for a while and then said: "It's better to get rich sooner rather than later. Let's start tonight. You go back and have a rest first, and come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting in half an hour."
"Yes!" Lu Yingjun straightened up and walked out.
Later, when Zhao just came back from the company, Li Yunlong held a brief League Party Committee meeting with him.
"Old Li, what did you say?" Zhao Gang exclaimed, "Are you going to take down all the turrets on the Yuliao Highway?"
"Why are you so loud?" Li Yunlong asked, "Do you want me to give you a trumpet and shout it all over the world so that the Japanese can hear it?"
"I didn't mean that." Zhao Gang said.
"Then what do you mean?" Li Yunlong asked with his eyes wide open, his face a little unhappy, "I tell you, I am talking to you because I think highly of you, you kid, don't be shameless."
"Why are you angry at me?" Zhao Gang said, "Do you have the ability to lose your temper at the Japanese?"
"It seems that Political Commissar Zhao has agreed to this combat operation." Li Yunlong said: "You are really right, I just want to lose my temper with the Japanese."
Zhao Gang looked startled, and realized that he had said the wrong thing, and said quickly: "I didn't mean that."
"What don't you mean?" Li Yunlong glared, "What, you still want to regret it?"
"You said it yourself, changing the direction will weaken the command power."
"Orders are changed in the morning and evening." Zhao Gang said.
"That's right, orders change day by day." Li Yunlong said, "It's the same anyway, as long as the meaning is correct."
"What I mean is that we now only have one field gun and one infantry gun, and there are not many artillery shells. At most, one or two gun towers can be taken down at a time. You have to take down more than a dozen gun towers in one night, and the span It's dozens of kilometers, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Zhao Gang was circled by Li Yunlong and finally found the opportunity to express his worries.
Although field artillery is powerful, it is troublesome to transport. Although infantry artillery is easy to move, it is not as powerful as field artillery.
These two kinds of cannons can also knock down the turrets, but it will take a lot of time.
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong said: "Then don't worry about it, I have my own way."
"Besides, when have you ever seen labor and management make a loss-making business?"
Zhao Gang's expression changed and he asked: "What can we do?"
"You'll find out tonight."
Li Yunlong kept it secret and deliberately didn't say anything.
Zhao Gang snorted: "If you didn't tell me, believe it or not, I would call the teacher right now."
"Even if you have the means, if you want to kill more than a dozen gun towers in one night, you will need to mobilize at least two battalions, right?"
"Transferring two battalions without authorization is a serious crime."
"The brigade commander turned a blind eye, but I believe that the division commander and the head of the headquarters will not tolerate you."
"No, no, no, no," Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "That would be too uninteresting."
Li Yunlong had no choice but to tell Zhao Gang truthfully.
Zhao Gang was also surprised when he heard that Chen Feng had sent new weapons, and that the Sharp Sword Squadron had used the new weapons to destroy three gun towers in a row.
There was no further objection immediately.
Half an hour later, all battalion commanders and direct company commanders gathered at the headquarters of the new regiment.
Because of its outstanding performance in the last battle, the cavalry company of the new regiment was recorded as a collective first-class meritorious service.
Although the cavalry company lost more than 30 soldiers in several battles, the cavalry company has been expanded into a cavalry battalion, with Sun Desheng as the commander of the cavalry battalion.
At the meeting, Li Yunlong issued the combat deployment order.
In this battle, the Lijian detachment was divided into two parts. One half was led by Wei Dayong and was responsible for the Japanese artillery towers on the Yushe section of the Yuliao Highway. The other half was led by Lu Yingjun and was responsible for the Japanese artillery towers on the Liaoxian section of the Yuliao Highway. The cavalry battalion and Each infantry battalion removed 30 key elites to move with the sword detachment.
On the one hand, he assisted the sword detachment in attacking the Japanese artillery towers, and on the other hand, he learned new tactics and the use of new weapons.
The first battalion, artillery company, and machine gun company were responsible for attacking the Lijiagou stronghold.
In addition, the second and third battalions each sent out a company to harass the Japanese reinforcements using sparrow warfare and mine warfare.
Almost two battalions of troops were dispatched, but now the total strength of the new regiment is almost five battalions. They are well-equipped and most of them are elite veterans. They can be said to be strong soldiers.
As the order was issued, each battalion began to order troops, distribute ammunition, and take time to rest and sleep during the day.
In the evening of that day, at the Yangcun Valley Farm, the soldiers were ready to go.
Li Yunlong: "Let's go!"
There are more than 800 people in the team, including more than 100 people in the Tower Building Team, carrying two bazooka anti-tank rocket launchers equipped with 24 rockets, commanded by Lu Yingjun and Wei Dayong.
The second team is a stronghold extraction team composed of the first battalion, machine gun company and artillery company, commanded by Zhang Dabiao.
The third team is the blocking team of the Second Battalion Assault Company and the Third Battalion Assault Company, commanded by the Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu and the Third Battalion Commander Chen Dagu.
Each person in the building-pleasing team rides a military horse, which facilitates quick maneuvering and improves the efficiency of building-pleasing.
Although they went out to fight the Japanese at night, the commanders and soldiers did not panic at all, because night fighting was the specialty of the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese and puppet troops are most afraid of night battles with the Eighth Route Army...
"Strongholds and gun towers are the eyes of the Japanese. If all the strongholds and gun towers on the Yuliao Highway are removed, the Japanese will be blind on this road."
"In the future, when Japanese soldiers leave the county, they will probably be frightened."
"Especially the Japanese transport team, they may be walking on thin ice while walking on the road."
Looking at the retreating team, Zhao Gang turned to Li Yunlong and said.
Regarding tonight's battle, Zhao Gang thinks there is not much suspense.
Because Li Yunlong had already planted hidden lines in the county seat, and monitoring posts were also set up at the strongholds and gun towers on the Yuliao Highway. As long as the Japanese made the slightest move, Li Yunlong would soon know about it.
Of course, what reassures Zhao Gang the most is the new weapons.
Although I haven't seen its power with my own eyes, the record of one Japanese turret being fired at a time is definitely not just a boast.
Therefore, Zhao Gang is full of expectations for the results of tonight's battle.
Li Yunlong sneered and said in a disdainful tone: "The Japs and puppet troops only have that little ability. They usually huddle in the artillery towers and act arrogant. Well, tonight our new regiment will teach the Japs how to behave."
Li Yunlong's order was to completely annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops in the strongholds and gun towers on the Yu-Liao Highway.
Leave no one behind.
Then gradually encroach on the forts and strongholds around Liao County and Yushe County.
Pull out all the eyes of the Japanese and puppet soldiers in these two counties.
Then we will see if we can recover the county seat.
Recovering one county town is worth 20 machine guns, and two county towns is worth 40 guns.
Even if you don't need the machine gun and replace it with other weapons and ammunition, it's not a small sum of money. For Commander Li, the machine gun is a unit of measurement.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he encounters familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
