A standard infantry brigade of the Japanese army generally has an infantry artillery squad equipped with two 2mm caliber 70 infantry artillery, and a very small number of infantry brigades have an artillery squadron equipped with 4 75 infantry artillery or 4 caliber mountain artillery, Yamazaki The brigade was originally equipped with four 75-caliber mountain guns.

However, in order to strengthen the mobility of the Yamazaki Battalion,

出发之前,这4门75口径的山炮临时被换成了6门90口径迫击炮,除此之外,山崎大队还额外加强了一个装备6门90口径迫击炮的独立炮兵中队。

So now, the Yamazaki Brigade has two artillery squadrons and 12 90 mortars.

Therefore, the artillery firepower of the Yamazaki Brigade is still very powerful. With just two rounds of shelling, the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army within a day have been blown to pieces.

The guard company of the Eighth Route Army was a little careless.

Firstly, because the first-line sky is steep enough, and secondly, because the hinterland of the Taihang base area deep in the first-line sky, it is almost impossible to be attacked by the Japanese army without warning, so this guard company did not seriously build fortifications, except to use stones to build A few light machine gun fortifications and nothing else.

This is too bad, obviously defending according to the danger, but still caught off guard by the devil.

After destroying the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army, the Yamazaki Battalion immediately invested in an infantry squad, broke into the sky, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Eighth Route Army.

With victory in sight,

Yamazaki Zhihei even called the messenger, ready to order the main force of the brigade to continue to move forward.

However, at this moment, clear gunshots sounded from the cliffs on both sides of Yixiantian. With the gunshots, more than 50 devil soldiers who broke into Yixiantian fell to the ground one after another.

Yamazaki Zhihei's face turned black instantly.

The cliffs on both sides of Yixiantian are nearly [-] meters high. Monkeys can't climb it, right?How did the Eighth Route Army get there?

Moreover, the eighth route army ambushing on the cliffs on both sides were too accurate with their marksmanship, and they almost missed every shot. They only fired a row of guns, and the infantry squad that broke into the sky was severely damaged!

The remaining few dozen infantry retreated hastily, but still failed to withdraw.

Another burst of crisp gunshots rang out, and these dozen or so infantrymen also fell into a pool of blood. Within a few minutes, an entire infantry squad of more than 50 brave imperial soldiers was collectively crushed!

"Hachihei!" Yamazaki Zhihei cursed and growled, "Yagihara-kun! Ono-kun!"

The two artillery squadron leaders hurried to Yamazaki Zhihei, nodded and said, "Captain."

Yamazaki Zhihei pointed to the high cliffs on both sides, and said with a dark face: "Can the artillery fire be able to hit it?"

The two squadron leaders took a visual inspection and said: "Captain, it is possible to fight, but because of the inability to effectively observe the top of the cliff, there is no way to guarantee the effect of the shelling."

There is no way to guarantee the effect, that is to fight blindly.

Now, Yamazaki Zhihei was completely helpless.

He raised his wrist to look at the time, half an hour had passed since the start of the battle.

In half an hour at most, the main regiment of the 129th Division should arrive at Yixiantian. However, is it possible for the Yamazaki Brigade to break through Yixiantian within half an hour?

Yamazaki Haruhei let out a long sigh.

This is clearly an impossible task.

"Map!" Yamazaki Zhihei stretched out his hand.

The intelligence staff quickly took out the map from the satchel.

Yamazaki Zhihei searched the map for a moment, then pointed to a place and said: "Order, the 4th Infantry Squadron will immediately attack in the direction of Lijiapo, the rest of the squadrons will follow up, and the 1st Infantry Squadron will be cut off."

"Hayi!" Several messengers quickly separated and left.

……

Daxia Bay, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss walked into the war room angrily, and asked, "Chief of Staff, what's going on?"

The chief of staff said: "There was a wave of Japanese troops that infiltrated from an unknown direction, and suddenly appeared outside Yixiantian, which caught our headquarters guards by surprise, and the position was almost lost. Fortunately, the Wolf Warrior squad of the Independent Regiment was near Yixiantian. Carry out climbing training, take timely action to stabilize the defense line, after the sneak attack failed, this group of Japanese troops attacked in the direction of Lijiapo, and are currently building fortifications in Lijiapo."

The boss said: "Find out the unit numbers of this group of Japanese troops as soon as possible."

While talking, an intelligence staff officer came in to report: "Boss, we are lurking inside Taiyuan and report that it is the Yamazaki Battalion of the Japanese Army that is attacking the direction of the sky."

"Yamazaki Battalion?" the boss said, "Just an infantry brigade?"

"Yes, there is only one brigade!" The intelligence staff nodded and said, "The Japanese army has two intentions. One is to destroy our headquarters and field hospitals to avenge the Hundred Regiments War. The other is to lure the main force of our 129th Division to besiege Yamazaki Brigade, and then dispatched the main force of the 1st Army and Yamazaki Brigade to attack and destroy the main force of our 129th Division."

"A flanking attack from both inside and outside to wipe out the main force of my 129th Division?" The boss snorted coldly, "The abacus is very loud, but sending an infantry brigade as a bait is too disrespectful to our 129th Division. "

Speaking of this meal, the boss said again: "Chief of Staff, you will pick up the mobile column for me immediately."

The call was connected quickly, and the chief of staff said: "Boss, the mobile column has connected."

The boss answered the phone and said loudly into the phone: "Chen Gen? Listen to me, it is only a group of isolated enemies who invaded Yixiantian, and it is the Yamazaki Brigade originally stationed in Shouyang."

"Now, the Yamazaki Brigade has withdrawn to the direction of Lijiapo."

"Don't worry about other things, immediately concentrate the main force of the mobile column,"

"Get rid of the son of a bitch Yamazaki brigade for me, repeat."

The voice of the brigade commander immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, kill the son of a bitch Yamazaki brigade!"

Hanging up the phone, the boss was still angry, and said: "Go, get rid of the company commander of the guard company, so that the sooner the careless cadres get out, the better!"

Chapter 148 Li Jiapo

The 386th brigade is also the headquarters of the mobile column.

When the brigade commander finished answering the phone and walked into the war room,

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa are all here.

Seeing the brigade commander coming in, Li Yunlong was the first to stand up.

"Brigade Commander, you can hand over Gou Ri's Yamazaki Brigade to our independent regiment." Li Yunlong patted his chest and said, "In less than half a day, I will definitely chop off the head of Yamazaki Zhihei and give it to you, Brigadier Commander, as a chamber pot."

Cheng Shifa became anxious when he heard it, and shouted: "Brigade Commander, you can't entrust the task to the independent regiment."

That is to say, Cheng Shifa always fights with Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are very knowledgeable, and they don't plan to fight with Li Yunlong at all.

"Cheng Xiazi, what are you talking about?" Li Yunlong was furious, "Why can't you hand it over to our independent group?"

Cheng Shifa said: "When we attacked Yangquan County last time, the brigade commander gave you the main task of attacking the independent regiment. Why should you give it back to your independent regiment when we fought against the Yamazaki brigade this time? Can't all the good things go to you, Li Yunlong?"

"The brigade commander entrusted the main attack task of Yangquan County to our independent regiment. It is because our independent regiment has a strong combat effectiveness. Your 772 regiment's combat effectiveness is not good enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the main attack. Who can blame?" Li Yunlong snorted.

"Fart!" Cheng Shifa was also furious, "How is our 772 regiment worse than your independent regiment?"

Cheng Shifa was depressed to death, conscience of heaven and earth, the 772 regiment is one of the two old regiments of the 386 brigade, but Li Yunlong, a idiot, keeps saying that the combat effectiveness of the 772 regiment is not as good as that of the independent regiment, is it really unreasonable?

What is even more worrying is that the brigade commander and the chief of staff seem to think so too?

There are also battalion-level cadres of the entire mobile column. It seems to be a consensus that the independent regiment is better than the 772 regiment?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shifa really wanted to bang his head against the wall, God, that's not the case, the 772 regiment is the fiercest.

"Hmph, what's worse than our independent regiment?" Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and said, "If the brigade commander hadn't transferred the ammunition reserves of our independent regiment to your 772 regiment, the 772th member of your 2000 regiment would have had only fire sticks Going to fight the devils, you fucking have the face to challenge me?"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "If I were you, I would just buy a piece of tofu and crash myself to death."

Hearing this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie couldn't help but exchanged glances, speechless on their faces.

This is the main reason why the two of them haven't said a word since they entered the war room. Who the hell can talk about Li Yunlong?

In terms of fighting, Cheng Shifa may not be inferior to Li Yunlong, but in terms of verbal skills, the three Cheng Shifa tied together are not Li Yunlong's opponent.

After less than two rounds of fighting, Cheng Shifa was defeated.

Cheng Shifa could only ask the brigade commander for help: "Brigade commander, you can't be partial this time."

The chief of staff couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, and said in his heart, Cheng Shifa, Cheng Shifa, you are really an idiot, do you ever ask the brigade commander for help like this?

If you're like this, didn't you just drag the brigade commander into Li Yunlong's camp?

Sure enough, the brigade commander put on a straight face when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I have always treated the regiments under my opponent equally, and I have never been partial, and I have only one standard for selecting candidates. If you can’t do it, come down for me, don’t fucking occupy the latrine pit!”

"That's right!" Li Yunlong said, "The brigade commander is right, whoever does it will go, you can't do it, blind Cheng, just stay on the sidelines honestly, when I was in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, I taught you how to shoot. Now I will teach you how to fight, and I will teach you how to fight on high ground!"

The brigade commander said: "Li Yunlong, don't get excited too early. If you can't come up with something new, you don't have a share in this battle."

"Brigade Commander, don't worry." Li Yunlong patted his chest and said, "Our independent regiment will definitely be able to take down Lijiapo. The reason is actually very simple, because our independent regiment just conducted a highland assault exercise a few days ago!"

A few days ago, when Wang Ye proposed an exercise to attack the high ground, Li Yunlong still felt baffled.

But now, Li Yunlong just wanted to reward Wang Ye with a bowl of roasted sweet potatoes. This kid is really one of his lucky generals. Their independent regiment has just finished the exercise of the highland battle, so it's really coming to life here.

And what came was a real highland battle!

The brigade commander couldn't help but exchanged glances with the chief of staff, thinking that Li Yunlong could always come up with some new tricks.

"That's okay, don't talk yet." The brigade commander nodded, and said to Cheng Shifa, "Cheng Shifa, as I said just now, I have always had only one selection criterion, whoever can do it will go, now tell me Tell me what you think, if this battle is handed over to your 772 regiment, how are you going to fight it?"

Cheng Shifa said without hesitation: "The first point of the battle is to destroy the enemy's firepower."

"So I planned to launch a feint attack with a company of troops first, to lure the Japanese army to expose the firepower points, and then use the firepower of the artillery company to clear the firepower points of the Japanese army at a fixed point. Annihilate the main force of the Yamazaki Battalion in one fell swoop."

At the end, Cheng Shifa waved his hands vigorously.

It seems that the Yamazaki Brigade has been wiped out by the 772 regiment.

However, the brigade commander frowned when he heard this.

What Cheng Shifa was talking about was actually the standard process of the tough battle, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But combined with the terrain of Lijiapo, the problem is big. If this is really the case, the casualties will be very large!

The brigade commander said: "The terrain of Lijiapo is very strange. The top of the slope is a platform with a diameter of about 500 meters, and three sides are cliffs. Only the south side is a gentle slope, but the width of the south gentle slope is limited. One attack can at most deploy a company's troops, and the firepower of the Yamazaki Brigade They were not deployed on the ridgeline of the Lijiapo mountain, but were deployed at a distance of 80 meters behind the ridgeline, so the shells of your artillery company may not be able to carry out targeted elimination of its firepower."

"Ah? This..." Cheng Shifa was stunned when he heard the words.

Is the old devil Yamazaki Zhihei so cunning?

But Cheng Shifa quickly came to his senses, and continued: "Brigade Commander, since we can only deploy one company at a time, then we will grind one company at a time. I don't believe that the Yamazaki Brigade can't be killed!"

"Isn't it just a group of isolated enemies? Thousands of people were killed."

"Our 772 regiment has an advantage in terms of military strength and firepower."

"I don't believe that our 772 regiment can't kill the Yamazaki brigade."

The brigade commander didn't say much, but turned to Li Yunlong and said, "Li Yunlong, what about you?"

"Cheng Xiazi, please listen to me, and see how I fight the high ground." Li Yunlong grinned, and said to the brigade commander, "Brigade commander, one company after another is involved in the attack. This is called refueling tactics. Big taboo, our old Li will never make such a low-level mistake."

"You..." Cheng Shifa became angry when he heard the words.

The brigade commander stretched out his hand to stop Cheng Shifa, and said, "Go ahead."

Li Yunlong asked: "Brigade Commander, what kind of soil is Lijiapo? Can it be dug?"

The chief of staff said: "According to the report of the death squad, the soil on the gentle slope to the south is relatively loose and can be dug."

"That's good." Li Yunlong said, "Yamazaki Zhihei, an old devil, is cunning enough to deploy his troops and firepower 50 meters behind the ridgeline of the mountain, so that our artillery firepower and machine gun firepower below the hillside can't hit them. But our infantry, as soon as they cross the ridgeline, are within range of their machine-gun fire!"

"Thus, if we blindly attack, it is impossible to take down Lijiapo before the ammunition of the Yamazaki Brigade is exhausted."

"Lao Li doesn't know how much ammunition the Yamazaki brigade carried, but it should be no problem to reimburse Cheng Xiazi's 772 regiment on Lijiapo."

The brigade commander said airily: "Stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point."

"Yes." Li Yunlong said loudly, "The key point is that the deployment of Yamazaki Zhihei, of course, can avoid the support firepower of our column, but for the area below the mountain ridgeline, our troop mobilization will become blind and deaf. Our troops can easily move to the ridgeline."

"And then move forward in the way of earthworks."

"It doesn't need much, it's enough to advance 50 meters."

"Using soil work to advance 50 meters, the distance from the Japanese fortifications is only 30 meters."

"With this distance, even girls can throw grenades into the devil's fortifications, and then gather all the grenades and grenades in the whole regiment, and throw them all at the head of Yamazaki Brigade within one minute."

"Our independent regiment now has more than 3000 border-made grenades and more than 500 cantaloupe grenades."

"Such intensive firepower falls on the head of the Yamazaki Brigade within 1 minute, it must be enough for the little devil to drink a pot."

"And then, while the little devil was blown to pieces, the whole regiment launched a general attack in a dense formation, rushed to the platform on the top of the slope and started hand-to-hand combat with the Yamazaki brigade."

The brigade commander and the chief of staff looked at each other again.

Li Yunlong's method is much better than Cheng Shifa's stupid method.

Only Cheng Shifa was still unconvinced, and said: "The devils in the Yamazaki Brigade seem to be dead? When you are working independently, the devils won't fight back?"

"The Yamazaki Battalion also has artillery, and will also bombard the Independent Regiment."

"Are you sure that the method of earthwork is less casualty than storming?"
