Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 261 The madness of the devils!

When Yang Xing heard Li Yunlong's order, a hint of madness and determination flashed in his eyes.

"Comrades on the front lines, anyone with 107mm rocket shells, light them up and bomb the Japanese in the northwest!

We don't care how many devils we kill, we just want to disrupt their sight and give us enough time!"

Yang Xingchao issued orders to all the soldiers of the artillery company on the front line.

Nowadays, the first thing all soldiers of the independent regiment do after entering the regiment is to learn how to operate firearms, and the second thing is to learn how to operate and use 107 rocket launchers.

Since many people were selected from the guerrillas, and Yu Ye’s previous weapons exchange activities had allowed the guerrillas to basically see rocket launchers, it was relatively easy for them to get started.

This time when attacking the Bizigou Copper Mine, the Third Battalion and the artillery company brought a total of 120 rocket shells.

60 rocket shells were used up in the attack on the Japanese squadron camp just now, and now there are only 60 rocket shells left. These shells are scattered on the shoulders of the soldiers, and some are in the hands of the artillerymen.

The order Yang Xing just issued was to ask the soldiers who were still carrying rocket launcher shells on their backs not to think about handing them over to the artillery to complete the loading, but to directly fire according to the original operation.

According to Yang Xing's request, 107 rocket launchers fired directly at the Japanese positions.

Since these shells had no launch support, their trajectories were extremely strange and unpredictable, which gave the Japanese a headache.

On the battlefield, sometimes we are not afraid of dense artillery shells, but more afraid of the artillery shells having no pattern at all, which leads to a chaotic battle.

Maybe a random shell will hit you, and that would be a tragedy.

This irregular feeling of oppression made the Japanese extremely uncomfortable.

The 17 consecutive artillery shells affected the rhythm of the Japanese artillery positions that were surrounding them in the northwest direction, resulting in a pause that lasted two or three minutes.

It was this two or three minute pause that gave the artillery company a moment to catch their breath.

Yang Xing roared: "Fire, fire, fire!"

The two 107 rocket launchers that had completed loading completed a round of concentrated fire on the Japanese in the northwest direction. In just over ten seconds, 24 107 rocket launchers poured out in the direction of the Japanese encirclement.

Yang Xing lay on the ground and watched 24 107 rockets fly out of the barrel and shoot towards the Japanese position with flames. The anger that had been suppressed in his chest finally found an outlet.

Ever since we were seconded by the Independent Regiment to participate in the battle, it has always been our Independent Regiment that was suppressing the Japanese. How could we be suppressed by the Japanese?

This is absolutely intolerable!

The 24 rounds were the result of the concentrated fire from two 107 rocket launchers. Compared with the rockets fired by the comrades in the front line before, this time they were more concentrated, and had better hit rate and coverage.

The Japanese mortar position in the northwest direction suddenly fell silent.

After more than half a year of wartime training, the combat quality of the independent regiment's artillery company is beyond doubt. Even in such a critical situation, the hit rate is still above the standard.

Nearly 30 Japanese mortars were completely destroyed by the concentrated fire of 24 rocket launchers.

Even if there was no problem with the mortar itself, there were no Japanese gunners in the northwest direction who could operate the mortar skillfully, so at least at this moment, there was no heavy firepower in the northwest direction.

Li Yunlong was in high spirits and said happily: "Pass my order, now is the time to break out to the northwest. We must tear through their defenses and withdraw before the Japanese react!

Let the miners behind us who are willing to go with us retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

Wang Huaibao immediately organized the soldiers in each squad with 56 assault rifles to gather together to form an assault team of more than people and launched an attack in the northwest direction.

He wanted to use the Type 56 automatic firearms in his hands to create an absolute firepower advantage in a limited area within a short period of time, and to gain a crushing advantage over the Japanese.

This way you can cut through it as smoothly as a hot knife through butter.

On the outskirts of the encirclement formed by the Japanese, in a temporary command post built by the Japanese, the Japanese responsible for ambushing the independent regiment this time were from the Hirata Division of the 37th Division, and their division commander was Kenkichi Hirata.

At this time, the Japanese were carrying out organizational reforms, and now Kenkichi Hirata was directly commanding the regiment.

According to the strategy previously discussed with Yoshio Shinozuka, the Japanese division commander Hirata was currently leading the 225th and 227th Regiments to complete the encirclement of the rd Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

Seeing the fierce artillery fire from the independent regiment, Kenkichi Hirata not only did not feel worried, but his face became more and more joyful.

According to his judgment, the main force of the independent regiment must be capable of such firepower.

If the main force of the independent regiment could be wiped out in one battle, it would certainly shock the entire Japanese North China Expeditionary Army and would also be a great military achievement for himself.

After all, over this period of time, a small independent regiment from China has brought shame to the empire.

This is something that every locust soldier cannot tolerate.

In the command post, Hirata Kenkichi was talking on the phone with Shinozuka Yoshio: "General, I have followed your instructions and led the 225th and 227th regiments to complete the encirclement of the independent regiment.

We have gradually closed the encirclement, and we will surely succeed today!"

Hearing Kenkichi Hirata's excited voice, Yoshio Shinozuka remained unusually calm. Because he had too many dealings with the Independent Regiment, a Chinese army, there was no way he would relax until the last moment, even before he saw Li Yunlong's body.

Shinozuka Yoshio asked calmly, "Are you sure it's the independent group?"

The commander of the 37th Division of the Japanese army, Kenkichi Hirata, said frankly: "General, there is no direct evidence to indicate that this is the independent regiment, and we have not captured any prisoners so far.

However, according to our pre-war analysis, the only independent regiment that could have such a high density of firepower was the Eighth Route Army’s independent regiment.

"Well, Mr. Hirata, I have to tell you very seriously that we have now surrounded them with a force of nearly 9000 men while catching them off guard.

Now that we have an absolute advantage, I ask you not to be greedy and rush into things rashly, but to proceed step by step with caution.

Their living space is compressed step by step, and eventually they are exhausted to death.

In this process, no matter how many locust soldiers are sacrificed, it is worth it.

I don't want the casualties of the Locust Army, I just want the body of Li Yunlong from the Independent Regiment!"

Yoshio Shinozuka said this with extraordinary resolve, and Kenkichi Hirata could hear a sense of decisiveness in his words.

The Japanese division commander Hirata was startled and said solemnly: "Ha!"

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio added, "Hirata-kun, according to the previous plan of the Army Department, you were supposed to return to the mainland to serve as the artillery supervisor two months ago, but I kept you.

I think the appearance of this new type of artillery in China and the independent regiment's use of this artillery will definitely give you a refreshing feeling.

Now is the time for you to witness the power of this artillery firsthand.

I hope you can study hard, comprehend it seriously, and use the blood of the enemy to wash away the shame of the empire!"

"Hai!"

A fiery emotion rose in Kenkichi Hirata's eyes, and it was obvious that he had a stronger desire to annihilate the Independent Regiment.

Shinozuka Yoshio hung up the phone, called his staff, and said coldly: "Tell Yamamoto's special forces that the 37th Division has now tied down the main force of the independent regiment.

The Eighth Route Army will certainly arrange rescue later, and now is the best time for them to completely destroy the Eighth Route Army's Liaoyuan Arsenal.

This time, if he fails to take over the Liaoyuan Arsenal, he will have to wait for his own death."

"Hay."

The staff felt the coldness in Yoshio Shinozuka's words and did not dare to be negligent. They immediately arranged for someone to convey the message to Ikki Yamamoto.
