Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 92: Shocked Blind Cheng, Li Yunlong has the intention to attack Taiyuan

A moment later, under the guidance of Li Yunlong's wave, Blind Cheng quickly entered the command car.

"Li Dayehu, you are really amazing!" Blind Cheng touched the leather sofa under his butt and said with emotion: "We actually succeeded in taking down the enemy's armored train."

"Hey!" Li Yunlong pretended to be low-key, but said in a very arrogant way: "This is all thanks to the lone wolf staff officer."

Blind Cheng said with sincere emotion: "Yes, Lone Wolf Staff not only provided us with a lot of intelligence information, but also helped us capture the armored train. Regardless of whether the subsequent strategic goals can be achieved, this credit belongs to him!"

Xu Yang waved his hand and said, "Captain Cheng, you are too polite. This is all my responsibility. Let's get down to business. We don't have much time left."

"Oh, right, right." Li Yunlong said, "Old Cheng, your 772nd Regiment hasn't launched a strong attack on the Jucheng stronghold yet, right?"

Cheng Xiazi said: "My regiment had just cleared the outer trenches and was preparing to organize a strong attack, but you came here in an armored train.

Good man, you scared me to death. I thought something happened to you and you suffered a loss at the hands of the Japanese. I was preparing to ambush the armored train to avenge you.

As the explosive packs were about to ignite, we suddenly received a report from your regiment's communications soldier saying that you had captured the Japanese armored train. Not only that, you had also successively captured the enemy's Heishui River strongholds and Niangziguan strongholds.

Ha! You are really using gauze to wipe your butt, you really let me slip away!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "At the critical moment, it is still the students from our class who are reliable. It is worth it that I taught you how to shoot a gun step by step."

Blind Cheng asked again: "Old Li, what do you mean by asking me if I had a strong attack just now?"

Li Yunlong: "Old Cheng, after all, you are a soldier trained by Old Li. Although you are working alone now, as your old leader, I will still support you when necessary."

Blind Cheng: "Li Dayehu, what are you talking about? You're an old leader? You've only been a squad leader for a few days, look at how capable you are!

When our Eighth Route Army was just reorganized, you were a battalion commander under us. Now you are just the commander of a newly formed regiment without a regular organization. If we talk about the leader, then I am your leader. "

"Stop talking nonsense. Just let out whatever's on your mind."

Li Yunlong was not angry either, and still said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll be frank. Does your 772nd Regiment need the artillery support of our armored train?"

Blind Cheng said angrily: "Li Dayehu, what you are talking about is nonsense. Of course we need the artillery support of the armored train.

I think it would be better if you could use saturation bombardment to blow all the Japanese and puppet troops in the giant city stronghold into slag. "

"No problem, no problem at all."

Li Yunlong said: "Who told me that I am your old squad leader, Lao Cheng?"

"Leave the artillery towers and bunkers in the giant city to me."

After a pause, Li Yunlong changed the subject and continued, "However, there is one thing we must make clear first. Since our independent regiment and Lao Ding's new regiment have also joined the battle, the battle for the Jucheng stronghold will become a joint operation."

Blind Cheng's face suddenly fell. He had not yet understood the implication of Li Yunlong's words.

"You mean, the benefits should be shared equally among the three parties?"

Li Yunlong smiled slyly: "Not only should the benefits be divided equally among the three parties, but since it is a joint operation, the command authority must be clearly defined."

"Command authority?" Blind Cheng asked in astonishment, "What's wrong with command authority?"

Li Yunlong: "Not only is there a problem, but it's a big problem. In a war, it's very important to have a unified command. If there's no one to make the final decision, and Old Ding and the three of us are all talking to each other, fighting on our own and not knowing how to cooperate, wouldn't that be a mess?"

Ding Wei laughed and said, "Old Cheng, can't you hear it? Li Dayehu is addicted to being an official. Since the brigade commander didn't promote him, he promoted himself."

Cheng Xiazi's expression became even uglier. "Li Dayehu, what do you mean? Commanding an independent regiment is not enough, and you want to command my 772nd Regiment as well?
I tell you, you’re dreaming, no way!

I am the one who should command your independent regiment!"

Li Yunlong's face also darkened: "Blind Cheng, I'm telling you, I'm giving you a chance now. I'm not negotiating with you, let alone begging you. Don't be ungrateful!

If you are unwilling to join forces with us, then we will bypass the giant city and go to Nanhui and Qijiayan!

I believe that Lao Kong and Lao Xu (Xu Shengji, commander of the 771st Regiment) will definitely be very happy to cooperate with us in the battle.

Not only that, we will also attack Yangquan County.

There are a large number of local tyrants and evil gentry living in Yangquan County, not to mention the Japanese's material warehouses. The assets of these local tyrants and evil gentry alone are at least several million silver dollars. In addition, their own materials are even more numerous.

By then, you, Blind Cheng, won’t have even a hair left, not even a hair!
Not only that, I don't think you can even take down the giant city stronghold. By then, we brothers will have a good time, become a heroic unit, and be rewarded by leaders at all levels.

You kid, just hide in a corner and get scolded, go cry."

"..."

Blind Cheng was speechless and cowardly for a moment. When he thought about how other troops had successfully or even exceeded their missions, but only his 772nd Regiment had failed to complete the mission, he felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife.

By then, he won't have any face left.

When eating at a banquet, you have to avoid these old guys and sit at the table with the new recruits.

Seeing that Blind Cheng was beginning to waver, Li Yunlong continued to persuade him, "Old Cheng, let me do another calculation for you.

Now the spoils are divided equally among the three of us. It may seem like you've suffered a loss, but you've also saved on ammunition and reduced casualties.

Later on, since you joined first, you can continue to divide the spoils of Nanhui, Qijiayan and even Yangquan, right?

Not to mention Nanhui and Qijiayan, the spoils of war in Yangquan County alone are enough for us brothers to feast on.

Can you still make a loss?"

Blind Cheng thought for a while and said, "I can divide the spoils among the three parties, but the command power..."

Before he could finish, Ding Wei interrupted him and said, "Old Cheng, don't listen to what Old Li is saying. The one who really makes the big decisions is the Lone Wolf Advisor."

"Cough cough!"

Li Yunlong coughed twice to hide the embarrassment on his face and said, "Although the one who made the big decision was the Lone Wolf Advisor, I was the first to join the group. In terms of seating order, I am at least second only to the Lone Wolf Advisor."

Ding Wei: "You're still arranging seats, Lao Li, do you think you're a bandit?"

Blind Cheng: "Since it is the Lone Wolf Advisor who makes the final decision, I have no objection."

Xu Yang was a brigade staff officer. Although he had no authority to command the regiment commanders, he was at least a member of the brigade in name.

Moreover, Xu Yang's outstanding military exploits for the Eighth Route Army, especially the 386th Brigade, and the various assistance he provided were obvious to all.

Also, as long as Li Yunlong doesn't have to suppress him, Blind Cheng can barely accept it.

Xu Yang waved his hand and said, "What do you mean by big decision? The specific battle plan is discussed by everyone, and I mainly play a leading role."

Blind Cheng seemed to have thought of something and asked again, "Lone Wolf Staff Officer, does the brigade commander know about this?"

Xu Yang: "I mentioned this battle plan during the meeting at the brigade headquarters."

Blind Cheng: "I'm talking about now." Xu Yang: "I've already asked for instructions on the way to Jucheng. The brigade commander is in a meeting and has not given me a reply yet."

Blind Cheng: "So, there is no order from the brigade commander yet?"

Xu Yang: "You can say that, but we still have a long way to go to Yangquan, and we need to deal with the enemy strongholds in Jucheng, Nanhui, and Qijiayan on the way.

I believe that by the time we reach Yangquan City, we will be able to get a reply from the brigade commander."

Blind Cheng: "That's fine, but I have one thing I must explain in advance. If the brigade commander agrees with our battle plan, then everything will be fine. If the brigade commander disagrees, then I will withdraw from this joint operation after I capture the Qijiayan stronghold."

"No problem." Xu Yang nodded.

As a time traveler who has watched "Drawing Sword" dozens of times and is extremely familiar with the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xu Yang knows the brigade commander very well.

The brigade commander's ability to seize opportunities is no worse than Li Yunlong's.

Now that there is an opportunity to expand the victory and attack Yangquan County, how could he miss it?

So, although not 100%, Xu Yang was at least 90% sure that the brigade commander would agree with their battle plan.

Xu Yang said to Ma Tong who was standing beside him, "Captain of the Second Company, the armored train will advance two kilometers. Turn on all the front and rear headlights, and point all the guns at the Jucheng stronghold. Bomb it!"

"Yes!"

Ma Tong responded loudly, and then picked up the phone to pass on the order: "This is the command car, the train continues to move forward two kilometers, and then turn on the front and rear searchlights.

All artillery should be aimed at the stronghold of the giant city, and fire at full power! As long as it is a building visible to the naked eye, whether it is a Japanese artillery tower or a barracks bunker, destroy it all! "

After the order was given, the train let out a long whistle and slowly started heading towards the huge city stronghold ahead.

At the Jucheng stronghold, the Japanese soldiers who had been keeping an eye on the armored train all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. It seemed that nothing unexpected had happened to the armored train and they were just worrying too much.

A few minutes later, the train stopped one kilometer east of the giant city stronghold. Immediately afterwards, the rear searchlight was turned on. The two strong lights instantly illuminated the giant city stronghold a kilometer away as if it were daytime.

Just as the Japanese were looking confused, several flames suddenly burst out from an armored train not far away.

The flames flashed by only briefly, but were particularly eye-catching in the night.

Immediately afterwards, the whistling sounds of several shells breaking through the air were heard.

"Baga! It's a cannonball!"

The Japanese soldiers in the stronghold felt their anuses tighten instantly.

Before they could react, several shells hit the turret one after another, causing flames and loud explosions.

On the armored train.

Xu Yang, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Blind Cheng were observing the giant city stronghold through the car window and happened to see the entire scene.

In the field of view of the telescope, the four large artillery towers exploded in an instant, and all kinds of broken bricks and stones flew everywhere, which was extremely eye-catching.

There is no doubt that the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the artillery tower would not survive.

After the battle of Niangzi Pass, the quality of the soldiers of the independent regiment's artillery company had improved a lot. They hit the target with four shots without any test firing and destroyed the four large artillery towers of the giant city stronghold.

It is said that actual combat training is the most effective!
"Okay! Well done!"

Ding Wei and Blind Cheng cheered at the same time.

Li Yunlong also looked proud, but he said modestly: "It's just a small scene, calm down, calm down. Lao Ding, Lao Cheng, although this armored train belongs to the Lone Wolf Staff, the artillery is from our independent regiment. I'm sorry to make you laugh, but the accuracy of our independent regiment's artillery is still a little lacking.

I will have them strengthen their training when they learn combat techniques."

Ding Wei and Blind Cheng couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Xu Yang also couldn't help laughing secretly. This guy Lao Li was still so arrogant and liked to show off.

As they were talking, the soldiers of the artillery company had already launched the second and third rounds of artillery fire.

The effect is still very good.

The targets of the pillboxes and bunkers were smaller, which greatly reduced the accuracy of the artillery company, but the hit rate still reached more than 80 percent.

Then Li Yunlong spread his hands and said, "Look, Lao Ding, Lao Cheng, I told you that the accuracy of our independent regiment's artillery is still a little poor. We need to practice more."

Ding Wei and Blind Cheng were too tired to roll their eyes, so they simply ignored Li Yunlong's voice and focused on observing the artillery company's shelling.

Li Yunlong was still chattering and pretending to be powerful. It was a rare opportunity to show off in front of these old comrades, and the other party had not yet refuted, so he must seize this opportunity.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops in the Jucheng stronghold finally reacted and opened fire.

I have to say that the quality of the Japanese machine gunners was quite good. Even at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, a large number of bullets still hit the armored train.

Unfortunately, these bullets were like tickling the armored train. Apart from splashing sparks and making clinking sounds, they were completely unable to break through the armored train's defenses.

As for the soldiers of the independent regiment hanging on the roof and windows, they had already gotten off when the train stopped, so naturally there were no casualties.

Less than ten minutes.

All the Japanese artillery towers and bunkers exposed to the field of vision of the independent regiment's artillery company were destroyed. At the same time, the 772nd Regiment also launched a general attack on the Jucheng stronghold.

Without the artillery towers and pillboxes, the few remaining bunkers could hardly pose much threat to the offensive of the 772nd Regiment.

As the armored trains continued to cooperate in the fight and eliminate the enemy's bunkers one by one, the 772nd Regiment's own artillery also came in handy.

Not to mention the grenade launchers and mortars, the two flying thunder cannons can also advance to a range of 300 meters.

The more than 10 kilograms of explosive packs were completely devastating when they fell down. With the landing point as the center, there was almost no survivor within a radius of 30 meters.

Even if the Japanese and puppet troops hid in trenches and foxholes, they could not escape the disaster. The huge shock wave from the ground easily shattered their internal organs...

After half an hour.

Soldiers of the 772nd Regiment broke into the giant city stronghold one after another and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

There were less than 300 Japanese and puppet troops still alive in the entire stronghold, and most of them were injured. More than half of them were puppet troops, who wisely chose to surrender when victory was hopeless.

The 772nd Regiment had more than 2000 people.

2000 against more than 100 wounded Japanese soldiers, the outcome of this battle is no longer in doubt.

Not to mention the most elite main force of the Eighth Route Army, even the militia children's group is enough to wipe out this group of Japanese remnants...
