Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Haha, Weiguo, you want to let these devils go first and wait for them to join the main force. Liujiashan is the only way to Fangcheng, and the devils must pass through us."

"When the time comes, let's make some big dumplings, right..."

Fang Zheng also understood what Zhou Weiguo meant and asked.

"Haha, that's right. This group of devils didn't fight with us, so they don't know there's an ambush here yet."

"I estimate that the Japs will arrive at dawn tomorrow, and their main force will surely arrive by then."

"We can ambush him!"

"Also, the commander called and said that the commanders of the 386th Brigade have taken their men to cut off the enemy's retreat."

"When the time comes, we will attack him from both sides and shut him in."

"With our firepower alone, this damn 36th Division won't be able to return alive!"

Zhou Weiguo grinned and explained to Fang Zheng.

……

At Li Yunlong's place.

Li Yunlong led three regiments and took advantage of the cover of night to sneak up behind the 36th Division.

"Hey, this little Japanese is so stupid that he doesn't even have a defensive force behind him. It's really convenient for us!"

"It seems like you look down on us. That's good. If a fight breaks out, it will save us a lot of trouble!"

Li Yunlong was lying not far away, observing the movements of the Japanese with a telescope.

Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others also lay beside Li Yunlong.

"Zhang Dabiao! Go and gather all the artillery pieces of the three regiments together."

"When the Japanese attack Lin Tian and his men, it will be time for Old Li to show his skills!"

"Firepower coverage. After listening to Lao Zhao talk so much about firepower coverage, Lao Li can also satisfy his craving for firepower coverage this time..."

Li Yunlong grinned and said with a smile.

"Yes, leader!"

Zhang Dabiao answered in a low voice.

"Old Li, please tell the artillery to fire slowly. Don't let me damage the enemy's machine guns, mortars, infantry guns, mountain cannons, etc."

"Clean up the battlefield after you're done. These are all treasures!"

"Fuck you, don't let yourself be sad just because you're living a good life!"

Ding Wei turned his head and spoke to Li Yunlong.

"Don't worry! Old Li is not a spendthrift like Lin Tian, ​​who wants to use up all the ammunition at once!"

"Those 107mm rocket launchers are all treasures. See the shells? They are so thick and long. One less rocket is needed. They are all our treasures, so of course we have to use them sparingly."

Li Yunlong grinned and said with a smile.

"Your precious bump?"

"Hey, Lao Li, you are really taking advantage of others. You want to attack everyone you see. Commander Lin is supporting us, and you want to take him back..."

Kong Jie stared at Li Yunlong and said.

"Lao Li, I don't agree with what you are doing. You are being disorganized and undisciplined. How can you just take away the weapons and equipment of the friendly forces?"

"Even if you have a few guns, you can't just take other people's things!"

"No, absolutely not! I don't agree!"

Zhao Gang also said seriously.

Judging from Li Yunlong's posture, he really wants to pull Lin Tian's rocket launcher back.

"Hey... When did you guys wear the same pants?"

"Is our Lao Li such a useless person? Is he so helpless when he sees a few good cannons?"

"We are civilized people. That's just a fucking loan! How can it be considered taking?"

"Let's borrow it and use it, and then return it to Lin Tian after we defeat the Japanese."

"Lin Tian won't bother with Old Li about those few shells!"

"Kong Erlangzi, do you think Commander Lin is as stingy as you? Anyway, let me say this before. After the war, all these rocket launchers will belong to my independent regiment!"

Li Yunlong smiled and changed his statement so that others could accept it.

As long as these guns were pulled back to his independent regiment, it would be impossible to spit them out again.

Six of them! Six 107mm rocket launchers are enough to provide a wave of firepower coverage.

After this, whenever he encounters the Japanese, Li Yunlong can smoke a cigarette, stand on the top of the hill, and watch the Japanese being blown up into the sky one by one...

"Old Li, you can't make any mistakes!"

"Whether you borrow it or take it, you have to make it clear to Commander Lin!"

"After all, this is a violation of discipline!"

Zhao Gang was worried that Li Yunlong would make another mistake, so he gave him a warning.

"Oh, that's enough, my great Political Commissar Zhao, I'll write Lin Tian an IOU when I get back, that's all!"

Li Yunlong said unhappily.

……

The headquarters of the Japanese 36th Division.

Yamaguchi Gojiro stood respectfully beside the division commander Yamagami Inujiro, not daring to breathe.

"You mean, you were blown through by artillery fire before you even saw the enemy?!"

"How is this possible! How is this possible!"

"It's impossible for the Chinese army to have so many artillery pieces!"

Yamagami Inujiro said in disbelief.

"Hai!"

"That's right, division commander!"

"As soon as we got to five kilometers from Liujiashan, we saw the shells were flying all over the sky, blocking out the sun."

"Poor our warrior, his death was such a shame!"

"I doubt that they really have so many artillery pieces. Otherwise, how could they have caused such heavy casualties to us?"

"Reflect again, division commander. The Eighth Mixed Brigade was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army these past few days, and the Third Flying Squadron was also completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Our 15th Infantry Regiment and today our th Brigade have been severely damaged by the enemy one after another!"

"I think we must have encountered the elusive Eighth Route Army!"

"Please enlighten me, Commander!"

Yamaguchi Gojiro bowed and spoke his mind.

"Yoshi!"

"That makes sense!"

"This unit's record is terrifying. They are simply the nemesis of our locust army!"

"Nofu-kun, report the situation here to General Shinozuka!"

"Let's just say that our 36th Division has found the location of that Eighth Route Army. Tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack and completely wipe out this enemy!"

Yamagami Inujiro ordered.

Taiyuan Japanese Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka was still lying on the hospital bed in the office receiving an IV drip.

"Commander, the 36th Division is calling!"

Staff Officer Koizumi looked relaxed this time. As long as no certain unit was completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, Commander Shinozuka would not be angry and he would not be beaten.

"Read it..."

Yoshio Shinozuka spoke weakly without even opening his eyes.

"Hai!"

"Our unit has identified the location of the Eighth Route Army that has successively annihilated our Locust Army's organized units!"

"This Eighth Route Army is equipped with thousands of artillery pieces, countless light and heavy machine guns!"

"My 36th Division has formulated a detailed battle plan and will launch an attack on the enemy in front of us tomorrow morning!"

"Completely wipe out this abominable Eighth Route Army! Avenge the fallen warriors of the Empire! Avenge Prince Xian Gong!"

Koizumi read the telegram with a suspicious look on his face.

One thousand artillery pieces, this commander of the 36th Division must be crazy.

The Chinese army is not that wealthy.

Even the Locust Army cannot mobilize so many artillery pieces for a single battle.
