Chapter 291, Both parties full of confidence
The Japanese launched artillery fire on the cliffs in an attempt to cover the retreat of the infantry.But artillery fire poses no threat to such a position at all.

The soldiers were enthusiastic and unaffected, and threw bundles of grenades into the enemy's ranks.

At this time, grenades are more effective than artillery shells, and the devil soldiers have nowhere to hide.

Only a handful of little devils fled out in embarrassment.

The little devil was covered with a stick and won the victory. The soldiers were very happy and even joked.

"This grenade is too easy to throw. Just pull the string and throw it down. It doesn't take much effort at all."

"Yeah, this devil is too inexperienced. Grandpa's grenade will keep him full."

"Isn't the little devil's bushido spirit very powerful? It seems that he can't beat the grenade made in our own arsenal!"

Everyone who said it burst into laughter.

In the command post.

The commander of the second battalion talked about the situation on the front line, and the jokes of the soldiers aroused everyone's joy.

"Captain, it's amazing that you let us retreat early. The little devil's heavy artillery is really powerful. If the reaction is a step slower, there must be a lot of casualties."

"How did you know that the little devil would do that?"

The commander of the second battalion was very puzzled. He led the troops to fight in front for more than a day, but he didn't see the enemy's movements.

It is impossible for the head of the regiment to see more than what he sees at the forward command post, so how can he analyze it?
Li Yunlong slapped a telegram on the table, "The brigade commander has arrived, and has reached the periphery. The guerrillas have discovered the situation of the enemy's transport team."

The information was sent in by telegraph.

The Second Battalion Commander suddenly realized that he did not have enough information.

The side also reflects how important it is to have a telegraph machine.Otherwise, the key information may not be delivered in time.

"Commander, what should we do next?"

The second battalion commander's question is also the voice of several other cadres.

Do you still fight? How do you fight?
Just waiting for Li Yunlong's action.

Zhao Gang said: "The machinery in the arsenal has been disassembled and is being shipped out. By tonight at the latest, we will have no worries."

The arsenal has always been a stone that weighs on the New Second Regiment, forcing them to defend.

At this time, when the people from the arsenal factory left, Li Yunlong's bones became lighter. "It's good news. Once the people from the arsenal factory leave, we can free our hands and feet to fight with the devils."

He asked: "How many shells are there in the battery?"

The artillery company commander replied with a bitter face: "Seven cannons, only 94 shells are left. On average, there are only a little more than shells per cannon."

Li Yunlong was anxious at the time: "What? You prodigal son, I remember that before I came here, there were more than 800 coins in storage, why are there less than left now!"

The artillery company commander knew that he would be scolded, and he felt wronged: "Regiment commander, you can't turn your back on others, every shell fired by our artillery company is an order from you.

Every cannonball is aimed at the enemy's head. You are kind, and now you are blaming me.Where do I go to reason. "

"Political commissar, you give the judge."

Zhao Gang understood the situation of the artillery company, so he helped explain a few words.

With more than 800 shells, for the always impoverished Eighth Route Army, it is equivalent to turning into a local rich man.

Last year, when he was in the new regiment, there was only one mortar with less than twenty rounds.

The artillery in the brigade commander's hand was only more than 30 shells, and he couldn't live without it.

At first glance, Li Yunlong's heart stopped beating after destroying shells in a few days, and he screamed angrily when he came up for breath.

Thinking about it carefully, the artillery company commander was right, he gave the order to fire the artillery, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

"Lao Li, you had the most fun watching it when the artillery bombarded the devils. It's too late to regret it now. You should have a longer memory in the future!"

Li Yunlong wouldn't admit it, he forgot when he got excited, "Old Zhao, don't pretend to be a nice guy here.

You think I'm willing to do that?

The little devil said that more than 2 shells were fired on the position. If the artillery did not support it, the soldiers would have to fight with their lives.

Seven hundred rounds of shells were used, which is really a saving. "

I was convinced, the dead duck was stubborn, and the comrades were all there, Zhao Gang didn't want to quarrel with him.

Li Yunlong gave Zhao Gang a push, and he gained face, but the problem has not been resolved yet.

With less than a hundred shells left, the next battle will be difficult.

His plan, without enough shells as a guarantee, is too risky.

Li Yunlong was reluctant to switch to the conservative No. plan. He has always been bold and advocates offense.

After being beaten by devils for several days, I held my breath in my heart, and if I didn't vent it, I felt uncomfortable.

"Cannonballs, I have enough, how much do you want?"

Who is talking nonsense?Seeing that it was Yuan Lang, Li Yunlong held back his words, "How about rounds, rounds is almost enough."

I just like how he has never seen the world.

Yuan Lang laughed: "How can five hundred rounds be enough? I'll send a telegram and ask for one thousand rounds."

My God, isn't Advisor Yuan being too generous today?

Zhang Dabiao and his acquaintances were stunned for a moment.Usually, a maximum of two to three hundred shells is provided at a time, but this time it will be doubled.

Did Consultant Yuan get rich, or did he get a new channel?

Li Yunlong didn't care so much, he slapped the table happily: "Okay, it's a deal. A gentleman is quick to say something, you can't go back on your word."

"When did I regret it?" Yuan Lang chuckled, "However, the cannonballs can only be sent outside. How to get the cannonballs in is up to you."

Still have to rely on the winding path, the mountain road is difficult, and it is extremely hidden, and the devils don't know it yet.

The machinery and equipment of the arsenal were transported away bit by bit by way of ants moving through that path.

Yuan Lang gave a time for the shells to arrive, and Zhao Gang calculated the time and energy it would take to transport them in.

Li Yunlong immediately made a decision: "Then stick to it for another four days, and we will break through on the ninth day."

Zhang Dabiao chuckled: "Leader, don't say four days, as long as you have enough ammunition, you can persist for another forty days."

It's really cool to kill the devils with the advantage of the terrain, and the casualties of one's own side are extremely small.

Zhang Dabiao was worried that he would not have this opportunity after passing through this gate.

The second battalion commander and the third battalion commander also expressed their approval.

"Regimental Commander, the brothers threw the grenade vigorously, and within a short time, the devils were blown up all over the place, at least more than 200 people died.

To be honest, every time you kill a devil, you have to play with your life, and it has never been so easy.I think we spend a few more days with the devils, kill some more before leaving. "

The commander of the second battalion didn't kill enough, and the commander of the third battalion was even more envious. They acted as a reserve team, and at the same time they were busy working as an arsenal and dismantling machinery.

Just watching other people happily killing devils makes me very greedy.

"Leader, stay here for a few more days and give our battalion a chance. We can't just watch them eat meat. We can't even drink soup. Brothers can't wait."

The Japanese army mobilized the masses to attack at all costs, that is, there was the Eighth Route Army arsenal, and this absolutely important goal was hanging in front of them.

The terrain of Huangya Cave is excellent, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In addition, they have sufficient weapons and ammunition, and there is no shortage of food and supplies.

It really means that after passing this village, there is no meaning of this store.

No one can bear such a good day.

Li Yunlong was annoyed by their quarrel: "Okay, stop nagging, I also want to stay for a few more days, it depends on whether the little devil will give us this chance."

If you treat the enemy as a fool, then you are a fool yourself.

The Japanese army will also think about learning and progress, and there are more ghost ideas than one.

Now is not the time to sit back and relax and brag.

……

"Eight Grid Road!"

In the command post, the scene reappeared again.The roar of the head of the brigade, Ushido Man, shocked those who heard it.

People who are familiar with it know that someone is going to be unlucky again.

"Pull him and those deserters out and kill him!"

Noda Takeshi, who was kneeling in the tent, was completely crushed by Ushijima's cold winter-like orders.

Noda Takeshi lost all his strength, his body was like soft noodles, and he collapsed to the ground.

He was forcibly dragged out by two guards.

The guy who kills like hemp is also full of cowardice in his heart.She didn't beg for mercy because she knew her old leader too well.

Callous and heartless, with no regard for his own life, let alone someone else's.

To be a deserter is to be shot, and the old leader will take his head to warn others.

There is no one more suitable than him.

A moment later, with a few crisp gunshots, Noda Takeshi, who created the news of the Hundred Talents Exhibition, and several of his subordinates were shot dead in the name of deserters.

Let's not mention what kind of shock the news will cause.

The chief of staff waved away the others, and when only he and Ushidoman were left in the big tent, he said:
"General, no matter what, the enemy's second line of defense has been captured by us, and we are one step closer to Huangyadong."

Ushidoman remained silent.

"Noda Takeshi is your old subordinate, he was executed by military law for retreating from the battle, I don't think anyone else would dare to do it again.

As long as the officers are not afraid of death and the soldiers dare to fight, it is only a matter of time before the enemy's arsenal is taken down. General, you don't have to worry too much. "

Ushijima Man is still silent, he is doubting life.

In the most difficult battles he has fought in his life, he and his men were surrounded by enemies ten times his size.

Even then, he was full of confidence and never flinched.

But this time, today.

He doubted life.

What on earth was the Eighth Route Army thinking about setting up the arsenal in such a precarious place.

The transportation of raw materials and finished products takes twice as much effort, is it worth it?
What's even more bastard is that he wants to cross such a dangerous road to attack the eight-way arsenal.

If only this is the case, he will not doubt life.

But since the battle started, their Ninth Brigade has never had a smooth ride.

The artillery was damaged by night raids, losing half its artillery and ammunition.

The enemy's position could not be defeated, and the planes participating in the battle timidly avoided the battle, completely unable to drop the bombs where they should be dropped.

There is also the heavy artillery brigade, not to mention the late arrival, which wasted precious shells against the empty positions.

After fighting all his life, there has never been such a bad time. The more Ushijima thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Bagaya Road!"

The chief of staff who was consoling at the side was taken aback and quickly shut up.

He loses his temper at every turn, and it's too difficult to serve.

If it hadn't been for the senior officials who crushed people to death, he wouldn't even want to serve him.

For the time being, let's wait for the time being. When you become the top leader, you will be in your early years.

Ushijima Mancai doesn't care what others think, he is a cold and resolute soldier.

It is impossible to give up, the previous doubts have been shattered by his perseverance.

Look forward, and continue to act according to the original goal.

"Where are people? Call them all back."

When all the people arrived, Ushijima Man announced his latest order: "No matter what method you have, what kind of tricks you use.

In three days, I will hit Huangya Cave.

This is my will, and it is also the Commander's will.I don't want to ask the commander three days later and there is still no progress.

I want to give him a satisfactory news.Understand? "

Many combat staff officers subconsciously replied: "Understood, General."

Forcibly attacking, such a battle has no technical content.Just use all kinds of weapons and equipment to fight the enemy desperately.

Inspired by the head of the brigade, many combat staff officers came up with their own plans and suggestions.

A staff officer took the lead in coming up with an infantry and air artillery cooperation plan: the infantry launched an attack first to attract enemy firepower.The air force provides fire support for the infantry, using powerful aerial bombs to crush the enemies hiding on the cliffs.

If the enemy uses machine guns for air defense, then use artillery to bombard the air defenses.The rings are interlocking, smashing all the defenses of the enemy.

The characteristic is to give full play to one's own superior firepower and use firepower to destroy the enemy.

After hearing this, Ushidoman couldn't deny it.

Another staff officer said: "General, the terrain is steep and steep, and ordinary weapons cannot be used effectively.

But poisonous gas is different, as long as there is air circulation, poisonous gas can drift in.

Our army can use the method of poison gas warfare to destroy the stubborn enemy and open up the route to the enemy's arsenal. "

Poison gas warfare, which violated international conventions, once again became an attack option for the Japanese army.

They just bully the enemy without poisonous gas, and the anti-virus measures that can be used are even less pitiful.

If the enemy really has poisonous gas, they might not dare to use this trick.

Ushishima Man has never been a person with moral and cleanliness. He can kill innocent people, and using poison gas is even more trivial.

"Very good, does anyone have any good suggestions?"

The Japanese army's infantry tactics were rigid and lacking, and other staff officers did not come up with the third method, but only provided some suggestions for the first two to check for omissions.

Ushijima pointed to the staff officer who provided the poison gas warfare plan: "Use your No. plan first, and you implement it."

The other one is the backup plan No. . Compared with the cheap poison gas, the plan that consumes a lot of bombs is insufficient.

Ushijima did not give up. He believed that the enemy in front of him was like a cockroach that could not be killed, and poison gas warfare might not be able to play a decisive role.

Bombs that completely destroy the enemy's flesh may be worth a try.

"Everyone, for the empire, for the ***, act!"
