Chapter 218 Do you think the brigade commander would agree?
"Old Li, why is it not working?"
"What?"
Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at Kong Jie and replied, "Damn it! If everything blows up, where will we get the spoils?"
"It hurts me to see it explode like this now. Anyway, I'm against it!"
"Old Li, we are fighting the Japanese now, not playing house."
Kong Jie expressed his own opinion: "So much equipment was blown up, and I, Kong Jie, feel bad too, but once the Japanese rush in, there will be tens of thousands of people. Even if you kill tens of thousands of pigs, you still have to worry about being pushed by them, right?"
The four of them fell into a brief peace. Every word Kong Jie said made sense. This was a war, not playing house.
But Lin Qiang doesn't think so. If you can't use large-caliber heavy artillery to kill tens of thousands of pigs, then mortars can always be used, right?
"The brigade commander agreed to have all three of you regiment commanders come to support me. I'm sure he also wanted to take this opportunity to let you all gain some benefits."
Lin Qiang put down the binoculars and said, "You three have come all this way here, and I can't let you go back empty-handed. We can't use the howitzers, but our independent battalion still has some mortars and other weapons."
"The troops seconded to the New Second and New First Regiments are only a small part of the total. The real bulk of the troops are all at my artillery positions."
After Lin Qiang's speech, the three group leaders reached a consensus.
After two rounds of bombing, the impact point of the howitzer moved back a distance, driving the surviving Japanese soldiers forward like ducks.
The Japanese are in a U-shaped area, and the sound of explosions will continue to echo. In addition, the explosions of large-caliber howitzers are powerful and noisy, so the sound will be much louder in this environment.
Although many Japanese soldiers were not killed on the spot, their eardrums were shattered by the violent explosion. They felt dizzy and could not even walk steadily.
Not to mention the little devils, the independent battalion ambush troops who were closer not only felt the vibration of the ground, but also had buzzing ears due to the explosion. The experienced veterans had long ago plugged their ears with bullets.
The densely packed Japanese troops were chased to a close point by the independent battalion's artillery fire. Once the Japanese troops in the rear attempted to retreat, the howitzers would fall on their heads.
The first echelon of Japanese soldiers was only a few hundred meters away from the command post where Lin Qiang and his men were. One artillery shell could kill all four commanders.
Unfortunately, the Japanese almost lost their lives, so how could they save heavy weapons such as mortars?
The first echelon of Japanese soldiers came under ruthless fire from the New 1st Regiment. They barely managed to survive the howitzers, but unexpectedly they still couldn't escape the grenade bombardment.
After just one round of attacks, a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded.
The density of the Japanese soldiers was too great, so even if you found a creature that could pull the trigger, you could kill one with just one shot.
Seeing the troops in front being attacked, Kawashita Hide joined the second echelon and followed the following troops to find cover to hide.
Yoshida Kazuo, commander of the 7th Brigade, approached Kawashita Hide and reported with a grim expression, "Your Excellency, we are surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. Our retreat route has been cut off by howitzers. If we try to break out by force, no one can guarantee your safety!"
Hide Kawashita was well aware of the current situation, but he just couldn't accept this fact.
Until the bombardment began, he still dismissed the battle, thinking it was as simple as stepping on an ant.
But now, he can't even guarantee his own safety.
To be precise, he is still alive now thanks to the Eighth Route Army for not bombing with all its strength.
"We can't break out, and holding on to support is a dead end!"
Hide Kawashita knew clearly that if he failed in this battle, he would be on the pillar of shame for the rest of his life and become the first general in history to lead two brigades but be defeated by an independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army.
"Organize a charge and capture the Eighth Route Army's position at all costs!"
"But……"
Kawashita Hide suddenly became furious: "There's no buts! We have to do this!"
"The terrain here is open, and there's no cover to hide from a counterattack. If we hold on to support, the Eighth Route Army will only eat us away bit by bit!"
"Do you want to be a disgrace to the empire even after your death?"
"Hi Yi!"
The first echelon of the Japanese army fought back, forming a cover entirely with their bodies, successfully allowing the Japanese army in the rear to organize a charging team.
Under the cover of numerous firepower, the Japanese suicide squad launched a fearless charge.
The charging team successfully attracted the firepower, and Kawashita Hide immediately ordered another team to charge.
In addition, he called the radio operator and ordered: "Immediately notify the Anhua County, Laiyuan County, and Ping'an County Military Police, ordering them to reinforce at all costs!"
"Also, telegraph Ming Jingjun and ask him to occupy the flank as quickly as possible and assist our troops in seizing the Eighth Route Army's position!"
"Hi Yi!"
It was a rare miracle that the radio station was not destroyed in the shelling. Kawashita Hide ordered the radio soldiers to protect the only radio station that could communicate with the outside world.
Once they lose contact, they are truly isolated and helpless.
In front of the command post.
The devil's intention was so obvious that even the monk could see it.
Lin Qiang said to Kong Jie, "Captain Kong, I think the Japanese on the flanks are about to take action. You have to go there in person so that I can focus on dealing with the Japanese in the front."
Then he leaned close to Kong Jie and whispered, "You can mobilize the troops of the independent battalion. It seems that Lao Li will not participate in the battle. Besides, the spoils that can be seized on the flanks are definitely not much worse than those captured in the front."
"Hey, you really understand me!"
Kong Jie turned and left, and Ding Wei said that he was going to command the battle and left too.
Noticing the monk's eager anticipation, Lin Qiang said to him, "This is none of your business. Go do whatever you want!"
Although the monk wanted to leave, as a guard he did not move and responded: "I am your guard. If I leave, who will protect your safety?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Lin Qiang said, "The commander is here too. Did you see any guards around him? Go do whatever you want and stop being an eyesore!"
"Yes!"
The monk left quickly with a look of "helplessness" and "extreme reluctance" on his face, running towards the artillery position.
Li Yunlong observed the situation on the battlefield and said, "If you really don't know what's good, then let the monk follow me. Except for the independent regiment battalion, company and platoon leaders, you can pick any other one."
"By the way, Political Commissar Zhao can't do that either."
Follow you?
Then let the monk deliver the letter to the brigade headquarters?
Although Heiyun Village has now become the base of the independent camp, the monk is unlikely to make careless mistakes again, but it is absolutely impossible for Lin Qiang to hand the monk over to him!
Who doesn’t know the four great generals of the independent regiment: the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng, the guard Wei Dayong, the reconnaissance company commander Duan Peng, and Wang Xikui who fought to the death to cover the retreat.
Three of the four great warriors died and one survived.
Now the situation has changed, and Lin Qiang and Li Yunlong each got two of the four heroes.
Hearing Li Yunlong talking about this matter, Lin Qiang turned the tables and said, "Commander, honestly, do you want that tank?"
"miss you!"
Li Yunlong said without hesitation: "Why not? If I had that thing, I would have attacked the county town long ago!"
"If you want it, that's easy!"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong put down the telescope and asked, "Can you be so kind as to give it to me for no reason?"
"Of course it's not for free."
Lin Qiang smiled and said, "One tank, plus ammunition and fuel, plus a tank crew, in exchange for only two people from you."
"There's no door!"
Li Yunlong refused without hesitation: "You must have bad intentions. The brigade commander was only willing to give me an armored vehicle, but you can give me a tank just by asking me to."
"I, Li Yunlong, have traveled extensively for so many years, and have done all kinds of business. How dare you set your sights on me? When the battle is over, you'll have to give me a few infantry guns, otherwise..."
Lin Qiang chuckled and said, "What else can we do? Commander, don't forget that I am now directly under the brigade headquarters. Robbing me is like robbing the brigade commander."
"Do you think the brigade commander would agree?"
Li Yunlong's smile suddenly stopped. After a long pause, he said angrily, "Well, let's fight first!"
