Li Yunlong had thought about this issue a long time ago. He said in a serious tone, "Our three regiments only have this much money. You have to be more careful."

"Captain, don't worry. According to our calculations, it takes the Japanese artillerymen five minutes to get out of bed and reach the gun position. In addition, it will take more than twenty minutes to calculate our detailed coordinates in the dark."

"We are only firing ten rounds this time. Regardless of whether we achieve any results or not, we will quickly move our position. There will be no problems."

Since this is the case, Li Yunlong will not say anything more. After all, such matters should be left to professionals. The most taboo thing is for an amateur to lead the professionals.

When the time came, Li Yunlong issued the latest firing order over the phone, and more than 20 mountain artillery shells flew directly towards the Japanese camp.

The first artillery shells to fall were from the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery positions. According to the enemy's organization, a regiment had about twelve guns, and a brigade had about twenty-four guns.

This type of artillery posed a huge threat to our defensive positions, especially our large number of mortars, which were chased and fired upon by the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns.

If we destroy the enemy's Type 92 infantry artillery group, the next battle will be easier.

The Japanese's field artillery and howitzers have too slow a firing rate, and actually do not pose much of a threat to our light mortars. As long as we destroy the enemy's Type 92 infantry artillery group tonight, we will be able to deal with it calmly no matter how the Japanese infantry launches an attack next time.

At this time, most of the artillerymen on the Japanese artillery positions were already soundly asleep. After all, they had been firing for a whole day, and both the aiming personnel and those carrying the shells were exhausted. They needed a good rest at this time.

However, when a large number of mountain artillery shells streaked across the sky, the Japanese were still in a daze and had not yet reacted. They all thought they were dreaming. It was not until a large number of shells fell on the Japanese artillery positions that the huge explosions and flames rising into the sky awakened the Japanese from their sweet dreams.

As luck would have it, the Japanese placed all the artillery boxes directly next to the artillery positions in order to quickly bombard our positions tomorrow, which just happened to help us.

When the third round of mountain artillery shells fell, they finally detonated the Japanese's artillery boxes. Then a large number of Type 92 infantry artillery shells flew around, making the nearby Japanese infantry scream in panic.

After achieving his goal, the artillery battalion commander ordered the artillery group to adjust its position and continue bombarding the Japanese infantry gathering area. At this time, the battle results had to be maximized.

The enemy's camp was already in chaos because of our artillery bombardment. Many Japanese soldiers ran out to see the situation, but they did not expect to be greeted by a string of mountain artillery shells, which immediately blew all the Japanese soldiers away in a panic, causing heavy casualties.

Brigade Commander Sakai did not expect that Li Yunlong would be so insidious. He hid the mountain artillery equivalent to two artillery battalions, and did not use it even when our defensive positions were in danger during the day, just to make them relax their vigilance.

Faced with this situation, in addition to cursing his opponent's despicable behavior, he also did two things. First, he sent his personal guards to control the chaotic situation and make everyone stop where they were and not run around.

If this continues, the camp will be destroyed soon, and the losses will be even greater.

Another thing is to find the opposing artillery positions and use howitzers to destroy all the artillery that is firing.

But in this dark time, we have no reference points except the fire produced by the firing of artillery shells. It is not easy to find the specific coordinates of our artillery positions.

I estimate that by the time the enemy finds our coordinates, all our artillery will have moved their positions. If the Japanese want to bombard us again, it will be a waste of shells and nothing will be achieved.

We had predicted everything in advance and had even conducted special drills, so the Japanese suffered a great loss this time.

The next morning, Brigade Commander Sakai asked people to count the losses. He finally learned that only four of the 24 Type 92 infantry guns were intact, and a large number of shells exploded, affecting the surrounding infantry. The casualties reached about 800 people. It was simply a great humiliation.

The Japanese soldiers, whose morale was already low yesterday because their tank squadron was completely wiped out, their morale plummeted to the bottom this time. Everyone had a dejected look on their face, as if their father had died.

With no other options, Brigade Commander Sakai could only ask Commander Shinozuka to send more planes to bomb in an attempt to boost the low morale.

Li Yunlong also responded to the Japanese's moves and used his solid position to resist the Japanese's attacks. The two sides fought back and forth, and the cards prepared by the independent regiment were revealed one by one, and each one made the Japanese suffer.

In this way, the enemy and our side fought for another three days. The Japanese suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and in the end they only took down the first line of defense of the independent regiment.

If there is no external force, the Japanese will basically be unable to fight, and the next step will be to enter a stage of wasting time.

But on the evening of the third day, Brigade Commander Sakai received an urgent telegram from Commander Shinozuka, and then the entire brigade evacuated overnight and left without looking back.

It was not until the morning of the fourth day that Li Yunlong realized that the Japanese had all evacuated. However, he did not send troops to pursue them. The outcome of this battle had exceeded his expectations, and it was more than enough.

Next, he simply sent out a few reconnaissance teams to confirm whether the Japanese had really left, and then notify Kong Jie that since the fish had left, the bait was useless and could not be wasted.

In fact, the main reason why Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the Sakai Brigade to retreat so hastily was that his base was attacked and the losses were quite heavy. He was even worried that the Eighth Route Army would concentrate its superior forces to encircle and annihilate the Sakai Brigade.

If the First Army lost a brigade, the impact would be huge, and his position might even be lost. It would be better to withdraw troops to protect the major cities in the jurisdiction, so that at least he would not suffer such a terrible defeat.

The story of the attack on the Japanese lair began a few days ago.

The Xingtian Special Forces were ordered to go to the base of the Japanese First Army to carry out a mission. This time, team leader Kong Hao was unable to participate because he was busy, so the team was led by instructor Song Qingfeng. The mission target was the Japanese arsenal.

As long as the Japanese's largest arsenal in Shanxi Province is destroyed, the enemy's war potential can be weakened, which is equivalent to cutting off one of the Japanese's arms. It will definitely cause serious damage to the Japanese's front-line troops and even affect the supply of logistical materials for the Japanese's front-line troops. This is also a good thing.
