Chapter 568 The way to deal with the Japanese cavalry regiment!
Lieutenant Shojiro Sugawara was the commander of the 10th Squadron of the 8th Brigade of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army and the 7th Infantry Regiment.

At this time, he was ordered to lead the 7th Squadron, a machine gun squadron and a puppet company to defend the high ground on both sides of the road.

These two highlands are about 2.5 kilometers away from Dagu Town, and 2 kilometers away from the outer positions of the Xinyi Regiment in Dagu Town.

Here guards the throat of the highway entering Dagu Town, but the Xinyi Regiment did not build a position here to defend against the Japanese attack.

But relying on this terrain, the devil built a lot of fortifications around it, and also buried several minefields and anti-infantry obstacles.

At about 12 o'clock in the evening, the engineers of the Engineer Wing were digging tunnels.

Squadron Captain Sugawara Shojiro was about to lie down in the command post to take a rest when he heard a sharp whistling sound.

The devil who has experienced the battlefield can naturally judge that this is the sound of shells passing through the air at high speed.

"Bombardment!"

"hidden!"

Sugawara Shojiro rushed into the nearest artillery hole at an extremely fast speed.

Many devils and puppet soldiers also heard the roar of shells, and hurriedly looked up, only to see dark red trails in the dark night sky.

The devils and puppet soldiers who saw this scene were terrified, and quickly jumped into the earthworks in the trench to hide.

But it was already too late. The next second after the roar sounded, the first round of shells had already landed on the ground.

"Boom boom boom!"

Amidst the sound of explosions like landslides and ground cracks, a series of explosions came from the devil's position, accompanied by flames and gunpowder smoke, the sweeping shock wave sandwiched shrapnel, harvesting the lives of the devils and puppet soldiers like a sickle.

The devils built civil fortifications, which are difficult to defend against even 75mm caliber mountain guns, let alone 105mm and 150mm howitzers.

With just one round of shells, the devil's earthworks were blown to pieces.

The color of the night was the same as that of the gunpowder smoke, but it made the fireworks produced by the explosion even brighter. The dense explosion fireworks were connected together, submerging the devil's position in a sea of ​​flames.

Faced with such ferocious artillery fire, even if the devils and puppet troops were concealed in trenches or anti-battery holes, they were blown into the air by large-caliber howitzers.

"idiot!"

In the headquarters, Squadron Captain Sugawara Shojiro was shocked for a while, and cursed Baga.

The firepower of this artillery far exceeds the two artillery regiments of the Locust Army. From the sound of the explosion of the artillery shells fired by the Eighth Route Army, it is not difficult to distinguish that the Eighth Route Army used 60mm mortars, 82mm mortars, 75mm mountain artillery, 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers.

It's outrageous, don't shells cost money?
Two positions the size of a palm, using the firepower of two artillery regiments?How can I fight this?
Balu, I beg you to be individuals!

Amidst the sound of cursing, Shojiro Sugawara pushed the phone soldier away. Just as he picked up the phone, the captain's voice came from next to his ear: "Moses, is this the 7th Squadron?"

Shojiro Sugawara hurriedly paused and said, "Hi, this is the 7th Squadron, Your Excellency, Captain, and I am Shojiro Sugawara, Squadron Leader!"

"How's the situation there?"

Sugawara Shojiro said: "The Eighth Route used two artillery regiments to bombard my position, asking for tactical guidance!"

"Nani?"

"Two artillery regiments?"

Although the captain of the Devils knew that the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route was very fierce, he did not expect that two artillery regiments were bombarding the position at the same time.

"I will send the 8th Squadron over there immediately, your squadron must stick to your position!"

"If the position is lost, you can just wait for a confession!"

After the captain of the devil group finished speaking indifferently, he hung up the phone with a snap.

Listening to the blind voice coming from the phone, Sugawara Shojiro hung up the phone with a snap. No one can defend this kind of artillery firepower!
After being bombarded by two artillery regiments for a full 10 minutes, the sound of the explosion became sparse until it disappeared completely.

Shojiro Sugawara took a deep breath, and saw that the position ahead had turned into a sea of ​​flames, and almost all the civil engineering works had been overturned.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Shojiro Sugawara knew the number of routes of the Eighth Route, and the infantry of the Eighth Route would definitely rush after the artillery bombardment, and they all learned the tactics of the Locust Army.

Following his order, the devils and puppet soldiers who survived the shelling raised their weapons and aimed at the front.

Although the artillery fire of the new regiment was fierce, it was impossible to kill all the devils and puppet troops on the ground with a wave of shelling.

However, the tunnels of the Devils Engineer Corps had just begun to be dug, so the first round of shelling caused about two-thirds of the casualties of the Devils and puppet troops.

Before the devil's grenadier soldiers fired flares, there was a sudden shout of killing in front of them. The surviving devils and puppet soldiers immediately took up their weapons and shot towards the front of the position.

Da da da…

The surviving more than 10 light and heavy machine guns screamed wildly, and the rain of bullets poured towards the front of the position like raindrops.

at this time.

Suddenly a dark red trail of shells streaked across the night sky, and amidst the sound of the explosion, a heavy machine gun fire point was thrown into the air.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen shells directly hit the firepower points of the heavy machine guns on the position, and at least one-third of the firepower points misfired instantly.

The remaining firepower points also stopped firing immediately, but their positions had been exposed, and they were thrown into the air by successive shells fired from the darkness.

"Nani?"

Sugawara Shojiro was dumbfounded.

There were no bullets fired in the dark, but there were shells fired. Judging from the power of the shells, they must be at least 75mm shells.

Balu pushed the 75mm mountain cannon to a few hundred meters to aim straight?

While thinking about it, Shojiro Sugawara cursed angrily: "Baga, are there still grenadier soldiers alive? Hurry up and fire the flares!"

"Huh, huh!"

Two groups of grenadiers quickly fired two flares forward.

The area within a few hundred meters was instantly illuminated like daylight. The devil's flares were not as effective as the one provided by Boss Chen, which could only illuminate a few hundred meters around.

Sugawara Shojiro hurriedly raised his binoculars to look.

In the darkness, a few hundred meters away, more than a dozen tanks were firing at the positions of the Locust Army and the Locust Alliance Army.

"Ask for artillery support!"

Sugawara Shojiro grabbed the phone, shook the handle vigorously, and shouted loudly.

By the time the Devil's artillery had finished reporting their position, shooting at Zhuyuan and test firing, the 12 tanks had already left the attacking position.

After most of the devil's machine gun firepower was destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the 8st Battalion, [-]nd Company and [-]rd Company of the New [-]nd Regiment began to attack. Since the minefields had been cleared by covering them with artillery fire, it took less than [-] minutes for the infantry to occupy the devils and puppet troops. High ground on both sides of the road.

At this time, a squadron and a company of puppet troops from the Devils arrived.

Before the devils entered the position, the second company and the third company voluntarily gave up the position they had just captured and withdrew.

The devils and the puppet army just entered the position, thinking that their arrival had scared the Eighth Route Army away. When they were complacent, swarms of shells fell on the heads of the devils and puppet troops.

After the shelling was over, under the cover of the tanks, the second company and the third company counterattacked one by one, and regained their position easily.

The main thing is a cannon and multiple shells.

……

at the same time.

More than 1 people from the Xinyi Regiment launched the fiercest attack on the 10th Division from the roads and under the cover of tanks and artillery groups.

In order to prevent the Xinyi Regiment from breaking through, the devil's engineering unit built a large number of fortifications on both the main road and the small road. The Xinyi Regiment's counterattack was naturally a full-scale counterattack.

In less than half an hour, good news from various attacking troops reached the regiment headquarters of the new regiment one after another.

The first line of defense of the Japanese 10th Division is rapidly disintegrating.

……

Heyuan County.

The 10th Division Headquarters.

"Division commander, Lieutenant General Tanabe, according to the battle report from the front, the Eighth Route New First Regiment has launched a full-scale counterattack from Dagu Town, Lijia Town and Nine Small Roads."

The chief of staff of the 10th Division, Asada Ryoichi, reported the battle report to Ishikawa Jiro and Tanabe Moritake:

"The Xinyi Regiment received a large number of air supplies and supplies a few days ago. The offensive was fierce, especially the artillery fire. The artillery wing of the 10th Division was completely suppressed, and almost all departments were asking for tactical guidance!"

The complexions of Ishikawa Jiro and Tanabe Moritake suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot.

They both guessed that the Xinyi regiment would counterattack, but they didn't expect the Xinyi regiment's counterattack to come so fast and fiercely.

As soon as they came up, without saying a word, they directly hit the head of the 10th Division with shells. Who can stand it?
The locust army can't afford such a rich battle. Did the shells of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army come from the strong wind? What is the source of the aid channel behind Li Yunlong?
Ishikawa Jiro suddenly thought of the 108th Field Artillery Regiment, which was supposed to be strengthened for the 10th Division during regiment battles.

However, in the Xinzhou battlefield, the 108th Field Artillery Regiment was in the open plain terrain, and the air support called by the Eighth Route was completely reimbursed at once.

Otherwise, with the Artillery Wing of the 10th Division, the 108th Field Artillery Wing, plus the mountain artillery, infantry artillery and mortars of each brigade and each wing, it is capable of competing with the artillery of the new regiment Compete.

Of course, the 10th Division did not have as many shells as the new one.

Moreover, the heavy troops are needed to continuously transport combat supplies from Taiyuan and Datong to the front line.

The new regiment only needs to pick up the radio station and make a call, and the transport plane can drop combat supplies overhead.

It's true that people are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

Ishikawa Jiro said in a deep voice: "I don't believe it, the new regiment can really defeat our 10th division!"

The combat power of the 10th Division ranks first among the Class A divisions, but it is unexpected that it is now facing the situation of being defeated by a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

The main reason is that they did not expect the counterattack of the Xinyi Regiment to come so quickly, and the engineering regiment had not had time to dig the tunnel fortifications.

Otherwise, relying on Xinyituan's tunnel tactics, it will definitely make Xinyituan suffer.

"Ishikawa-kun, you are the head of the 10th Division, you must calm down now!"

Tanabe Moritake reminded that he knew that Ishikawa Jiro was just trying to die, and couldn't accept the fact that the 10th Division could not beat the Eighth Route Army.

"Tanabe-kun, you don't need to remind me, I'm calm now!" Ishikawa Jiro said coldly, and then looked at the chief of staff, "Asada-kun, immediately order the engineering unit to withdraw to the second line of defense, and build a defense line as quickly as possible. Tunnel fortifications, all the regiments resist the Shinichi regiment at the first line of defense at all costs, and the Shinichi regiment wants to defeat the 10th Division of Japan, it depends on whether they have the ability!"

"In addition, order the 10th Cavalry Wing to prepare for the attack!"

"Hi!" Ryosuke Asada bowed his head, flicking up a telegram.

Moritake Tanabe directed at the communication staff officer on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Jinshan Jun, immediately report the situation here to the headquarters of the Front Army, and at the same time order the 21st Division, the 23rd Division, the 25th Division, and the 35th Division , speed up the attack!"

The 10th Division has been fighting the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment here for half a month, and has a deep understanding of the strength of the Xinyi Regiment.

The half-month battle, not just the 10th Division, made the entire Japanese army re-acquainted with the new regiment.

Judging from the current situation, it is already impossible for the 10th Division to defeat the new regiment with a quarter of the 10th Division's casualties.

Now the 10th Division can only hold on, and wait until the other four divisions encircle and completely eliminate the new group.

"Hi!" Nakazuo Jinshan paused, turned around and began to write a telegram.

……

Dagu Town.

The new regiment.

Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlonghui: "Reporting to the head of the regiment, all artillery groups are fully fired, and more than 1 shells have been fired at the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops within two hours."

The rate of fire of the 60mm mortar can reach 30 rounds per minute, and the rate of fire of the 82mm mortar can reach more than 20 rounds per minute.

The new group of more than 450 guns of various calibers poured shells towards the devil's position as if they didn't need money.

Once the attacking troops found that the devils had gathered troops to counterattack the position, the attacking troops immediately withdrew from the position, and then called for artillery fire to cover them, and then regained the position after the artillery fire was over.

After such repeated struggles, the shells of the new regiment were rapidly consumed, and the casualties of the devils and puppet troops were also rapidly increasing.

After such repeated pulls, the casualties of the new group of soldiers were not large.

"I'm a good boy!" Xing Zhiguo laughed in shock, "In two hours, more than 1 shells were fired? Enough for the little devil to drink a big pot."

"What is this?" Li Yunlong said in a bold tone, "We still have 20 shells, and some of them are playing with devils."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng, and his tone was full of expectation: "Consultant Chen, after the 20 shells are finished, will you continue to airdrop them?"

Chen Feng on the side nodded: "In this battle, even if you destroy 100 million shells, I will continue to arrange delivery."

"Hahaha!" Li Yunlong laughed suddenly, "Doing business with Consultant Chen is comfortable, and I will buy you a drink after this battle is over!"

In the past, head Li Datuan always said that he had never fought such a battle for prosperity in his life.

And this battle is the richest battle Chief Li has fought so far.

"Headman Li is polite." Chen Feng said, "The more shells fired, the better. It's best to let the little devil know what Li Yunlong's ammunition is."

Boss Chen still said that the wool of the dog system must be squeezed hard.

"Li Yunlong's ammunition?" Zhao Gang stared at the map without raising his head and smiled, "This word is new."

"Old Zhao, why are you staring at the map?" Li Yunlong asked.

"I'm thinking." Zhao Gang said, "The little devils from the 10th Division have a cavalry regiment, and our cavalry only has one battalion. How do we deal with them?"

Right now, there are nearly 600 cavalry battalions in the new regiment. Although more than 200 military horses were seized in the last battle in the Xinzhou Basin, these 200 military horses have to be reserved for the second cavalry battalion of the new regiment.

Li Yunlong has received a telegram from the headquarters that the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment has been incorporated into the New First Regiment, designated as the 2nd Battalion of the New First Regiment Cavalry.

At present, the 2nd Battalion of the Cavalry of the New First Regiment has returned to the team and joined the Sixth and Seventh Battalions of the New First Regiment's Division to fight on the outside.

"Haha!" Li Yunlong laughed immediately, with a confident tone, "Don't worry, our old Li has already figured out how to deal with the devil's cavalry regiment!"

Zhao Gang hurriedly asked: "What method?"
