Chapter 322, Widow Lei Appears
"...The enemy's offensive was so fierce that our army was invincible. The captain of the Yokohama battalion said that he was ashamed of the general's cultivation, and he cut himself open in front of the position."

The adjutant finished reading the telegram heavily and bowed his head in silence.

In the dead silence, an emotion called anger was brewing.

Mitsui Ichiro slapped the palm of his hand heavily on the table, his voice was suppressed, and he made a threatening sound like the roar of a beast.

It was like two tigers meeting on the grassland.

They looked at each other to test each other, opened their fangs and let out a low roar.

No matter how many rumors you hear about your opponent, it's better to touch it with your hands.

With this touch, Mitsui Ichiro completely understood the weight of his opponent.

Four to five hundred enemies defeated his brigade in half an hour.It was a formidable enemy he had never encountered since the establishment of the 21st Brigade.

Lieutenant Zuo Yokohama's failure cannot be entirely blamed on him.

"Give Yokohama the treatment of death in battle, he is a hero of the empire."

"Hay!"

Yokohama died, but the troubles he left behind were not small.

Ichiro Mitsui pulled out his gun and wiped it with a soft cloth.

This is his habit when he thinks deeply. Not only will the movements of his hands not distract him, but it will also make him concentrate.

Judging from the current situation, Eight Routes must have broken through.They can run faster than rabbits and most likely escape to the Midwest.

In this way, their siege and siege plan became a joke, and all the previous efforts were in vain.

Simply sending troops to pursue them will fall into the nightmare of going around in circles just like those failed encirclement campaigns before.

Thinking of this, Mitsui Ichiro felt even more headache.

"It is reported that the Guitian Regiment has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army. The enemy's number should be around , and our army has blocked them from the first line of defense."

The sudden news brought Mitsui Ichiro back to his senses, and he couldn't figure it out even more.

"General, it seems that the Eighth Route Army wants to break out of the encirclement from two directions." The adjutant said.

The Kameda Regiment Headquarters and two infantry brigades blocked the southwest entrance of the encirclement.

The Yokohama Brigade, which has been broken, is at the northwest exit.

The time difference between the two breakout teams was half an hour.

The one who acted first caught the imperial army by surprise, and after the imperial army had already responded, the one who made the move later was naturally blocked.

Mitsui Ichiro did not speak, and wiped the handle of the gun with a soft cloth,

It stands to reason that if the two armies cooperate with each other, they will definitely agree on a time.

The enemy in front of him should not make such a mistake.

However, it is not certain, because there are not a few people who miss the time due to various reasons.

As long as the enemy is still in the encirclement, especially the enemy's headquarters, then this part can also be eaten first.

Ichiro Mitsui said to the guards: "Call for Bear Taro from the Telecommunications Department."

The guard immediately ran to find someone.

The adjutant was thoughtful: "General, are you trying to determine the enemy's headquarters through the location of the enemy's radio station?"

"Of course!"

Mitsui Ichiro said: "The elimination of the Eighth Route Army sometimes does not depend on how many people are eliminated,
Because they are like rabbits that are constantly multiplying, if you don't pay attention to the size, they will grow exponentially.

On the contrary, we should eliminate the leaders with excellent leadership among them.

The number of outstanding talents is rare and difficult to increase.

Back to the present, we should eliminate their headquarters and capture the man who provided the large number of weapons. "

His meaning is very clear, now part of the Eighth Route has broken out, and part of it is encircled.

Which team is where their headquarters is located, and which team is the target that the imperial army will focus on encircling and suppressing.

"Report, Bear Taro from Telecommunications Division came to report."

He probably ran too fast and was still panting shortly.

Mitsui Ichiro glanced at it and didn't care, and asked straightforwardly: "Can you confirm now whether the radio station of the enemy headquarters is still in our encirclement?"

Little Bear Taro nodded: "Of course, we detected a strong telecommunication signal 10 minutes ago. The radio station of the enemy headquarters is still within our encirclement."

Mitsui Ichiro finally had a little smile on his face, he got up and put the gun back into the holster, and said to the adjutant:

"Tell all departments to tie their pockets tightly, continue to proceed according to the original plan, and launch a siege three days later."

The high-decibel sound was like a loudspeaker shouting in the ear, but the adjutant breathed a sigh of relief.

It's still more reassuring to have such a general. He felt that his heart was about to pop out of the suppressed one before.

In the eyes of the adjutant, the Eighth Route Army's strength was greatly reduced due to the division of troops, but the headquarters did not escape the encirclement.

Created more favorable conditions for their encirclement and suppression.

The failure of the Yokohama Brigade was not all a bad thing, it was a blessing in disguise.

……

forward command post,

Holding a telescope in his hand, Li Yunlong observed the battle situation at the front.

The fourth battalion and the fifth battalion, which took turns to attack, performed mediocrely. They only killed and wounded some Japanese troops in an hour, but did not win a position.

The news of the successful breakout came from the first battalion through the radio.

"Okay, let them withdraw and stop fighting."

After testing the ability of the Japanese army to hold on and cooperating with the breakthrough of the first battalion, Li Yunlong's basic goal was achieved.

The correspondent went to convey the order, and everyone in the forward command post was also preparing to evacuate.

"Commander, didn't you always tell us that if you don't take advantage of it, you will suffer a loss. The fourth battalion and the fifth battalion didn't take advantage of the devils."

The combat staff officer of the regiment headquarters asked puzzledly.

He couldn't figure it out, and he obviously didn't want to break through, so he sent the fourth and fifth battalions to attack the Japanese positions.

Li Yunlong naturally remembered what he said, and he has always done so, didn't he take advantage today?

He lectured: "Your eyelids are too shallow, you covered the first battalion's breakout, and you also tested the quality of the little devil.

Killing a few more devils and picking up a few more guns is much more valuable than you. "

The staff still couldn't figure it out, did they cover the first battalion's breakout?

It is also impossible for the enemy here to spread their wings and block the way for the first battalion to break through.

Moreover, the successful breakthrough of the first battalion also played a role in testing the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

The second battalion and the third battalion are comparable in combat effectiveness to the first battalion, so they can naturally do what the first battalion does.

Li Yunlong also doesn't mind teaching the combat staff of a religious regiment what military strategy is when he has free time.

"You kid is still short-sighted, the first battalion led people to break out, if we don't make some noise here, the little devil will definitely mobilize a large force to chase.

They have to protect the common people, so they can't run fast.

The Fourth Battalion and Fifth Battalion dispatched to fight the devils, the little devils will know that we are still surrounded by him,
In order to eliminate us, it is impossible for him to mobilize most of his troops to chase us. "

"Oh..." The young combat staff officer couldn't help nodding, he just looked at the moment, and didn't think about this level at all.

The head still thinks far-reaching.

Li Yunlong thought much farther than them. Through the battle just now, he also understood and judged the strength of the Japanese defense line.

When it really came time to break through, the experience gained today would save them crucial time.

The troops withdrew safely, and the Japanese army did not pursue them blindly.

When Li Yunlong returned to the headquarters of the regiment, he found large vehicles one after another, almost blocking the road.

"Where did so many cars come from?"

"Head, it was brought back by Consultant Yuan." The soldier replied very happily, so much supplies will eventually be distributed to each of them.

Everyone in the group is a beneficiary, and everyone is beaming when they see it.

Li Yunlong was very surprised. It was only a few days before the batch of supplies was brought in last time. He thought it would be great if it was half of the last time.

Bringing so many things back, Yuan Lang didn't tell him at all.

When they walked to the gate, they saw Yuan Lang and Zhao Gang who were talking and laughing under the tree.

Seeing him coming back, Zhao Gang said with a smile, "Head, we are waiting for you. Let's see how this batch of supplies is stored?"

The clerks of the regiment headquarters and the cadres of the logistics department have already made a statistics of the materials and collected all the data.

Li Yunlong's eyelids twitched, "My dear, this is enough."

Even the logistics department of the brigade headquarters has never been so rich.

If the brigade commander knows, robbery is a must, and he must chop his ankle with a knife and take the big head off.

Li Yunlong couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, he was far enough away from the brigade commander, even if he knew, he wouldn't even want to fly over to rob him.

"With so many things, did you spend all your money?" He asked Yuan Lang again.

"Almost, there won't be another batch of supplies like this in a short time." Yuan Lang spent all his money, and after exchanging these points on hand, only a fraction is left.

After Li Yunlong or Ding Wei wiped out a large number of devils and puppet soldiers, he can get rich again.

Everything is for the new second regiment to gain a foothold here. For Li Yunlong, he has paid too much for this hardcore fan.

Yuan Lang himself was so moved.

Not to mention Li Yunlong, thank you for your great kindness, how about blowing a bottle for you on the spot, as a token of appreciation?
Come on, let's think about how to store these things!
With such materials, it is absolutely impossible for the troops to take action. We can only consider a hidden place, and a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"The Cave of Hiding Soldiers."

Li Yunlong immediately thought of a place.

Yuan Lang was very puzzled: "The cave of the soldiers, what is this place?"

He had never heard of it before, nor had he seen it on the map of Zhongtiao Mountain.

However, the name is easy to guess. According to the meaning of the word, it is a cave where soldiers can be hidden.

He was right.

Zhao Gang explained: "Zangbing Cave is the name given by the local mountain people. It is said that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a team of rebels hid in the cave here and escaped the siege of officers and soldiers.

The terrain there is relatively dangerous and extremely hidden.

The Central Army has been entrenched here for more than three years, but they don't know it.The Japanese did not know either.

It was our cadres who went to the village to mobilize the masses and learned from the mouths of the mountain people halfway up the mountain. "

Of course, this is also inseparable from the batch of cans that were distributed before.

The mountain people never revealed to outsiders before that the canned food issued by the Eighth Route Army, and the soldiers helped carry water and chop firewood, which won their favor, so they learned about it.

According to the cadres who have been there, the Tibetan soldier cave is smaller than the Huangya cave, and it is also on the mountainside.

The narrow road passing through the foot of the mountain is also relatively dangerous.Building a pass is a place where one man is the pass and ten thousand are not allowed to open it.

Send two companies one behind the other to block up, and this place will not be lost.

"It's really just right to give you a pillow when you're sleepy." Yuan Lang said with a smile.

However, it is not without drawbacks.Difficult roads and dangerous terrain directly lead to difficulties in material transportation.

Li Yunlong said to the director of logistics: "First make up all the needs of each battalion, and then move the rest to the Tibetan Bingdong."

In particular, the Fourth and Fifth Battalions spent a lot of bullets and shells in today's battle.

For the new second regiment at the moment, it is equipped with a lot of equipment but consumes a lot of fire, and it is more and more dependent on logistical supplies.

If the submachine gun has no bullets, it is really not as good as a fire stick.

There is no shell for the mortar, and it is impossible for the artillery to mount the bayonet on the cannon to fight the devils.

From this point of view, the large amount of supplies sent by Yuan Lang directly solved the worries of the New Second Regiment.

They can free their hands and feet to fight the devils.

"Hey, by the way, I also brought a new gadget this time, let me show you."

Yuan Lang yelled at the door: "Monk, Monk Wei, bring me that dead son, Sun Lei."

"Duan Zijue Sun Lei? This name sounds weird, isn't it a regular name?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Of course, this landmine is called an S-type landmine, and it is the nickname given to it by the victims." Yuan Lang explained with a smile.

Li Yunlong also asked curiously: "Who is the victim, who is really dead?"

Any man will be curious when he hears it, after all, reproduction is engraved in genes.

And cutting off children and grandchildren sounds like what men fear most, even more terrifying than breaking off arms and legs.

Yuan Lang said: "We don't need to care about the previous victims, but the little devils will definitely have a share in the future victims."

Just in time, Monk Wei brought the landmine, and Li Yunlong took it over and looked it over carefully.

The S-type mine is a cylinder.

Below is a steel cylinder equivalent to the size of two cans, filled with a large amount of explosives.

A steel rod protruding from the upper part of the mine surrounds the main fuse.

Generally speaking, it is like a thick straw stuck into a cup of milk tea.

Although this thing is small in size and ugly in appearance, it is one of the most powerful weapons of Germany in World War II.

American infantrymen had nightmares about these mines, calling them widow mines.

Because this type of landmine often causes limbs and genitals to be disabled (but not fatal), it directly causes huge psychological damage to soldiers.

After listening to the description, Li Yunlong felt that this thing is indeed powerful, but he wanted to know more intuitively: "How much damage can this landmine cause?"

Yuan Lang thought for a while and said conservatively: "Lethal within 20 meters, effective within 100 meters.

He was based on the data given by the Germans. The American training manual stated that the shotgun shells of landmines may cause casualties within 140 meters.

It's even more exaggerated than that.

Li Yunlong clicked his tongue when he heard it. The wooden-handled grenades they are using now are all produced by the Huangyadong Arsenal. They are relatively good, and the killing radius is only five or six meters.

Throw it into the devil's offensive formation. If you are lucky, you can get two or three bombs. If you are not lucky, you can't get one. Just listen to it.

It sounds like Widow Lei Ke is much more powerful than hand grenades, one is as powerful as a box of hand grenades.

Zhao Gang asked: "This kind of landmine must be very expensive?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "A landmine is worth a Bobosha."

He unlocked this picture a few days ago, but he was reluctant to exchange it because it was too expensive.

This time he used it to deal with the little devil, and he spent a lot of money.If a landmine does not kill or disable two, it will be considered a loss.

Li Yunlong originally wanted to give it a try, but when he heard it, he lost his mind and decided to try it with a little devil.

It's not a loss if you have to blow up a few.

He said to a staff officer: "Order all the battalions to send people to learn, learn to take it back, and try it out with the little devil.

It's not enough to just be cold-hearted, you have to give the little devil something serious. "

Yuan Lang listened from the side, thinking: Lao Li has already figured out a strategy to deal with it?
