Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

Chapter 43: Nailed on the Pillar of Shame Forever

"Hahaha, well done, all the Japanese heavy artillery is destroyed."

Inside the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong was laughing happily. The Japanese 41st Division was not scary at all; what frightened him the most was the field artillery regiment.

The biggest threat to him in the field artillery regiment were the 105mm howitzers.

By now, the Japanese artillery had been almost completely crippled, as could be seen from the density of their impact points.

Without the threat of heavy artillery, they had two 122mm heavy artillery pieces on their side, and the pressure on defense was instantly reduced a lot.

In terms of air defense, we have anti-aircraft missiles, and in terms of artillery, we have already gained a certain advantage, and we are still on the defensive.

The 41st Division only had an advantage in manpower, but the independent regiment equipped with a large number of automatic firearms was not afraid of the enemy's large numbers.

Shimada Isao looked at Matsui Ryoyong in front of him with an ugly expression and slapped him in the face.

"Baga, who told you to mobilize the heavy artillery? Didn't I already tell you not to use it without my order?"

The heavy artillery battalion is his greatest reliance in conquering Ling County this time.

And the Eighth Route Army was clearly luring the enemy, but didn't this idiot see it? The Eighth Route Army just used a basic attack, and his side used their ultimate move.

When he saw this scene, Shimada Yuo knew that the situation was not good.

As expected, our side was attacked by heavy artillery fire after just one round of salvo.

He had witnessed the spectacular spectacle of dozens of rockets being fired simultaneously today, but the price he paid was too high; the heavy artillery battalion was completely wiped out.

This new type of artillery is so terrifying. The battle of Ling County this time might be a little difficult.

Matsui Ryoyong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and said in shame: "Your Excellency, the division commander, it's my fault, but the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is really too strange. As long as we open fire, they can immediately find our artillery position."

"The Eighth Route Army seemed to have eyes on our heads. However, as long as we didn't fire, they couldn't find our artillery."

Shimada Yufu watched the entire artillery battle and he also noticed the strangeness.

"Bagayalu, there were strange anti-aircraft weapons before, and now there's such a strange scene. Could it be that this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers has received help from immortals?"

Matsui Ryoyong's eyes were filled with confusion. Immortal? Was the division commander possessed by some demon?

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do next?"

Shimada Yufu looked unwillingly in the direction of the independent regiment's position.

"Without our heavy artillery and air support, attacking the Independent Regiment's position would be a death wish. We have no choice but to do it."

"Immediately report the situation here to His Excellency the Commander in detail and request support. Without heavy artillery, it is impossible to capture Ling County."

"At the same time, contact the 16th Brigade and have them break through the blockade as quickly as possible at all costs."

"Hey!" said the officer on the side.

Then he looked at Matsui Ryoyong and said, "All artillery pieces are hidden. No one can be moved. Wait for orders."

Shimada Yufu did not dare to attack the independent regiment's position just yet. He chose to wait.

Li Yunlong was puzzled. "Why are the Japanese so quiet? They're not moving at all. This is totally unlike the Japanese style."

Zhao Gang was equally puzzled upon hearing this: "Something is indeed amiss. They haven't fired a single shot, and haven't launched an offensive. Could it be that they are preparing something?"

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with thought, and after a while he said, "Call Wei Dayong over to me."

After a while, Wei Dayong came in.

Li Yunlong said directly: "Monk, you must immediately lead the assault team to go around to the rear of the Japanese to conduct reconnaissance. If there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately. Do not act without authorization."

Wei Dayong's eyes lit up, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he stood at attention and said, "Yes, Captain, I will definitely not mess around."

In less than ten minutes, Wei Dayong led the fully armed assault team towards the mountains.

Only by using the mountains and forests as cover could they successfully sneak into the Japanese's rear. The 41st Division's battle report was quickly reported to the First Army Headquarters.

After seeing this battle report, Yoshio Shinozuka's face immediately turned gloomy.

"Baga, gluttons, a bunch of gluttons, just like a bunch of pigs."

Yamamoto Ikki picked up the battle report that had been thrown on the ground and began to read it. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"General, the battle in Ling County is not going well. With the current strength of the 41st Division, it may be difficult to capture Ling County, and casualties may be heavy."

Shinozuka Yoshio said angrily, "The Imperial Warriors have never feared casualties. Send a telegram to the 41st Division and tell them to capture Ling County at all costs. If they fail to capture it within three days, I will request that the headquarters revoke the 41st Division's designation."

Yamamoto Ikki sighed. In order to deal with Li Yunlong, Shinozuka Yoshio had become a little crazy.

But it was also his last chance.

Because Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu, like Chief of Staff Miyano, did not really support his special operations.

So he did not say anything to stop it. In his opinion, although the independent regiment was strong, it was unlikely to stop the attack of a division.

Even if they blocked it, the Empire might suffer heavy losses, but their losses would not be small either.

Once the reinforcements arrive, the Independent Regiment will be dead. At the 41st Division Headquarters, Shimada Isao frowned upon receiving the telegram from the headquarters.

The chief of staff asked, "Division Commander, what's wrong?"

Shimada Yufu sighed and said, "The headquarters requires us to capture Lingxian within three days at all costs, otherwise the designation of our 41st Division will be revoked."

The chief of staff looked incredulous when he heard this.

"Cancel the 41st Division's designation?" Cancelling a designation would be an eternal disgrace for a unit.

Whether he is the division commander or the chief of staff, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

Even if they died in battle, they would be dishonored and unable to enter the shrine. This punishment was extremely severe for them.

"Order the 256th Regiment to launch an attack on the Independent Regiment's position. If the 256th Regiment is wiped out, send in the 257th Regiment!"

Although Shimada Yufu was very steady, he had no choice but to attack under such an order.

Three days was too tight a timeframe. If he was given enough time and chose to proceed steadily, it wouldn't be difficult to capture the Independent Regiment's position.

The 41st Division directly deployed an entire regiment to launch an offensive against the Independent Regiment's Liushu Ridge position...

"The Japanese have finally started their attack. Let me, Old Li, experience the might of the 41st Division."

"Order the front lines, open them wide to me, no need to hide anything."

Then he continued, "Tell Fang Tianrui to keep a close eye on it. If you find a Japanese artillery piece, just shoot it at me. Don't save your ammunition for me."

Although the Japanese artillery fire has subsided, there are still many of them.

Apart from two 122mm artillery pieces, the rest are mortars and rocket launchers.

It would be great if there were some 7090mm medium-caliber artillery. The mortar's fire suppression capability is still not as good as these medium-caliber artillery.

Li Jingrong would have no choice but to listen to this, as 122mm was the smallest caliber artillery he could find.

Due to the high degree of mechanization in later generations, artillery was either small-caliber rapid-fire guns or heavy artillery with a caliber of 120mm or above.

Moreover, in Rabbit's view, 122mm is considered a medium-caliber artillery, and current equipment is basically 155mm caliber.

Medium-caliber artillery had long since faded from the historical stage, so he couldn't find it even if he tried.

Li Yunlong directly deployed four infantry battalions on the front line, including heavy machine gun companies and other troops, leaving only one fifth battalion as a reserve force.

Since the terrain of Liushu Ridge is flat, with only a small gentle slope, the Japanese army's superior forces can be deployed directly.

Therefore, the Japanese army deployed a regiment of 3200 troops to attack at one time.

On the front line, Zhang Dabiao licked his dry lips as he looked at the Japanese soldiers pouring over him like a mountain range. He said, "Little Japanese soldiers, I'm going to teach you how to behave like a human being."

"Everyone, listen to my orders. Let the Japanese get within 100 meters before opening fire."

If it were in the past, Zhang Dabiao would definitely not dare to do this. In the past, the firepower was weak, and basically the Japanese would be fired upon as soon as they entered the range.

Now the entire regiment is equipped with automatic firearms, and only by firing at close range can the maximum damage be done to the Japanese troops.

As the Japanese 256th Regiment launched its attack, the artillery fire in the rear of the Japanese army started again.

Currently, their company still has 2 Type 92 infantry guns and 8 Type 75 mm field guns.

Add to that the four infantry regiments with a total of 16 Type 92 infantry guns, it is not weak.

This time, Matsui Ryoyong learned his lesson and dispersed all the artillery pieces one by one.

They broke up into small groups and hid in the rear, then moved to another location immediately after firing a shot, without any delay.

Although this would result in the dispersion of firepower and low efficiency, it would at least ensure that the artillery could survive.

Shells fell one after another on the position of the independent regiment. The soldiers on the position were indifferent to the Japanese artillery fire.

However, the Japanese had their own tricks, and Fang Tianrui also had his own tricks.

He directly concentrated all the artillery, including two 122mm howitzers and four 4 rocket launchers.

Each gun fired at a target alone, and its mission was to destroy the Japanese artillery force as much as possible.

And this effect is obviously very effective, but the consumption of ammunition is a bit high.

But as long as this deal can be done, these shells don't matter.
