I am helping

Chapter 826 The fourth company of sharpshooters!
Half a month passed in a flash.

Time soon came to May [-]st.

In the past half a month, the whole of Shanxi and even North China has been filled with the smell of gunpowder.

In Hebei Province, the Japanese army is mobilizing troops and combat materials in an attempt to carry out a sweep operation against the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region, which is actively preparing for anti-mopping up.

However, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army in Shanxi had a completely opposite situation.

The Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi and northwest Shanxi is actively preparing for battle, soldiers are practicing tactics, and logistics troops are stepping up preparations for combat supplies.

Prepare to attack Taiyuan and Zhengtai Railway.

The Japanese army was also in a panic, hoarding food and combat supplies overnight, and building various fortifications to deal with the upcoming fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

Maybe, the Japanese army in Shanxi will be wiped out in this battle.

I have to admit that the Japanese army's will to fight is really powerful.

From the commander of the First Army to the commander of the division and regiment, and then to the soldiers, many devils knew that they were not the opponents of the Eighth Route Army.

But without a clear refusal, the Japanese army thought of many ways to defend against the Eighth Route Army's attack, but they never thought of retreating.

Even if the entire army is wiped out, the Eighth Route will be exhausted, making it impossible for the Eighth Route to get involved in North China within a year or two.

Although the arrival of Chen Feng and the system in this world has caused serious deviations from the original historical trajectory.

But the wheels of history always correct themselves.

Neiji Okamura took the lead in carrying forward the fine tradition of the Japanese army from the bottom to the top, and refused to implement Tojo Yingji's order to attack Northwest Shanxi. Still on May [-]st, the troops were assembled to launch a mopping operation against the Jizhong Military Region.

In the original play, the main force of the First Army also carried out a brutal sweep of Jindongnan.

It was during this sweep that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang led the independent regiment to break out of the Japanese encirclement in southeastern Shanxi and arrive at Zhaojiayu in northwest Shanxi.

In that battle, the independent regiment was heavily taken care of by the Japanese and puppet troops. Two-thirds of the regiment suffered casualties, and the second battalion commander died.

In that battle, the deputy chief of staff died.

The Jizhong Military Region suffered heavy losses.

But this time, through the headquarters, Li Yunlong sent the general battle plan of the devils to the Jizhong Military Region in advance.

Although there is no detailed mopping plan of the Devils, the Jizhong Military Region has known the news that the Devils are going to mop up the Jizhong Military Region more than half a month in advance, and is relatively well prepared.

Moreover, the ammunition of the Jizhong Military Region is now supplied with weapons and ammunition from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The military region headquarters has an artillery brigade under its jurisdiction. Its main equipment is the Type 75 infantry gun and the American [-]mm mountain gun.

The soldiers had relatively sufficient bullets and grenades, and the regiments were equipped with some 60mm and 82mm mortars.

However, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Jizhong Military Region is not large, with less than 7 people.

In addition, the main force is relatively scattered, and it is necessary to protect the people and cover the retreat of the people in the anti-sweeping operations.

The Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region is no match for the devil's mopping up troops.

But the current situation in the Jizhong Military Region is still much better than in another time and space.

Northwest Shanxi.

Zhaojiayu Village.

New Regiment, Regiment Headquarters, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou held a telegram in his hand and walked quickly into the Regiment Headquarters.

"Head, the headquarters just called."

"The devils really did attack the Jizhong Military Region. About 3 devils and 2 puppet troops adopted the method of compression and encirclement, and launched an attack on the Jizhong Military Region."

"The head of the headquarters ordered the flying brigade of our new regiment to take off immediately and cooperate with the Jizhong Military Region to launch anti-mopping operations."

While talking, Wang Dehou handed the telegram to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong was lying on the table studying how to attack Taiyuan, and raised his head after hearing Wang Dehou's words.

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ningji Okamura, this old devil is not particular. We have sent two clear-coded telegrams in a row, pointing at the noses of Neji Okamura and Yingji Tojo. This devil dare not attack us in Jinan!" northwest."

Wang Dehou smiled slightly: "With the strength of our Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, if the devils dare to attack, they are courting death."

The last time I killed Yoshimoto Teiichi and Hironaka Tadao, I earned the second weapon and ammunition, 28 B4 heavy howitzers and 28 Katyusha rocket launchers.

Among them, all 28 B4 heavy howitzers were handed over to the headquarters. Some heads of the headquarters prefer large-caliber heavy artillery.

The other 28 Katyusha rocket launchers were all owned by Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong expanded another Katyusha rocket launcher battalion.

现在新一团的重火力部队，一共有2个B4重型榴弹炮营，3个喀秋莎火箭炮营，1个150毫米榴弹炮营，2个105毫米榴弹炮营和2个坦克营。

Although they are all battalion-level establishments, each battalion is regiment-level.

In terms of heavy firepower, it is very satisfactory.

Such powerful firepower, coupled with air superiority, Tojo Hideki, who is far away in Japan, does not understand.

But Ningji Okamura, who had been beaten up several times, was very forceful and did not dare to gather troops to launch a sweeping operation against the Eighth Route in Northwest Shanxi.

Li Yunlong read the telegram sent by the head of the headquarters and said in a disdainful tone: "The Japanese raided the Jizhong Military Region, but they didn't come up with any new tricks. They still compressed and encircled them, then encircled them with iron walls, and swept them with iron rolling axes."

After a pause, Li Yunlong sighed again: "Boss Chen's strategic vision is indeed high. When the devils won victory in Southeast Asia a few months ago, he predicted that the devils would carry out a sweeping raid on the Jizhong Military Region."

"Yes!"

Wang Dehou nodded sympathetically:

"Since then, the Jizhong Military Region has been preparing for this anti-mopping up."

"chief of staff."

Li Yunlong's tone was decisive: "Immediately order the flying brigade to take off, bomb the devil's logistics supply line according to the original plan, and reinforce the fraternal troops of the Jizhong Military Region from the air to carry out anti-mopping operations."

Right now, the devils in Taiyuan have summed up the experience of air defense and implemented it quickly. They are stepping up the construction of anti-blasting holes and tunnels.

Although the flying brigade went to Taiyuan every day to conduct routine bombings against the Japanese, the effect was not very great.

The Japanese were going to attack the Jizhong Military Region, so Li Yunlong naturally wanted to help.

The Jizhong Military Region is the granary of the Eighth Route Army. Part of the food eaten by the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Military Region comes from the Jizhong Military Region.

It is now the spring plowing season, and the Japanese are raiding the Jizhong Military Region at this juncture, and their vicious intentions are clearly exposed.

In another time and space, it was after this Japanese mopping up operation that the Eighth Route Army in North China fell into an extremely difficult period, with both territory and troops being severely reduced.

The old devil Okamura Neiji is still very talented.

And Li Yunlong had already ordered the flying brigade to make a plan for air reinforcements to the Jizhong Military Region.

"Yes!"

Wang Dehou turned around and called to deliver the order.

then.

Li Yunlong put on his military cap and left the regiment headquarters, called Huang Erhu and Chen Baoshan, got in a jeep and headed towards Dagu Town.

More than half an hour later, Li Yunlong arrived at Dagu Town.

I happened to see the 45 aircraft of the flying group taking off one by one, forming a flying formation in the sky, heading towards Jizhong.

It wasn't until the plane disappeared into the sky that Li Yunlong looked away satisfied and reluctantly.

Although he has watched these planes many times, Li Yunlong feels that he can't get enough of them. It's like watching beauties. He never gets tired of watching them.

Subsequently.

Li Yunlong came to the headquarters of the first battalion.

After Dagu Town was rebuilt, Zhang Dabiao led another battalion to Dagu Town.

After a while, the headquarters of the new regiment will also move here.

After Heyuan Airport is repaired, the regiment headquarters of the First Battalion and the New First Regiment, as well as the guards and several heavy firepower battalions will all be moved to Heyuan County.

"Commander, why are you free to come to our first battalion today?"

When Zhang Dabiao saw Li Yunlong appearing at the entrance of the camp, he looked slightly happy and walked over quickly to give him a military salute.

Li Yunlong raised his hand in return: "Let me see the training situation of your first battalion."

Regarding the battle plan for attacking Taiyuan this time, Li Yunlong planned to pick a battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness in the new regiment.

And this battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness is the key to the success of Li Yunlong's combat plan.

Among the infantry battalions of the new regiment, the one with the strongest combat effectiveness is naturally Zhang Dabiao's battalion.

Zhang Dabiao's expression changed with confidence: "Captain, what aspect of training do you want to see?"

As the battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness in the new regiment, most of the soldiers in the first battalion are elite veterans, and their qualities are top-notch in the whole regiment.

"Da Biao, how is the shooting performance of the soldiers?"

Li Yunlong thought for a while and asked:

"Our regiment has just changed to a new gun. How is the use of the new gun by the soldiers? Have you fully adapted to the new gun?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Dabiao's eyes brightened: "Commander, the new gun has won unanimous praise from the soldiers. This new gun is much easier to use than the Yankee Garand! Its reloading, reliability, and shooting accuracy are all better than those of the Yankees. Hello Garland, after a month of new gun shooting training, a large number of sharpshooters have emerged in our battalion, among which the fourth company has the most sharpshooters, with more than 170 sharpshooters in the fourth company, and even the cooking soldiers are sharpshooters."

Each battalion of the new regiment consists of 12 companies, with each battalion having a strength of more than 2500 men.

These include 9 infantry companies, 1 mortar company, 1 mountain artillery company and 1 transportation support company.

The first company of the first battalion has all replaced the M3 submachine guns with the Type [-] submachine guns. The shooting performance of the soldiers is also very good, but it is still a bit worse than that of the fourth company.

Most of the soldiers of the Fourth Company, even the cooking soldiers are sharpshooters?

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he became interested immediately.

The original new regiment had only a few sharpshooters, and the same was true for other units. The number of sharpshooters in each regiment could be counted on one hand.

But now, the number of sharpshooters in the new regiment, battalion, and company is more than the number of sharpshooters in a brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong ordered: "Dabiao, go and make arrangements. I want to exchange shooting experience with the soldiers of the Fourth Company."

As a sharpshooter, apart from the guys from the Sharp Sword Squadron, Li Yunlong had never served anyone in terms of shooting.

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao straightened his body.

At the shooting range in Dagu Town, Li Yunlong exchanged shooting experience with the [-]st Battalion and [-]th Company.

There are more than 220 soldiers in the fourth company. Zhang Dabiao is not bragging. Most of the soldiers are sharpshooters, even the cooking soldiers are sharpshooters.

Those fighters who are not sharpshooters have good marksmanship!

Over the shooting range, the fleet of the new flight brigade returned to the airport after performing its mission.

On the shooting range, Li Yunlong exchanged shooting experiences with the soldiers of the [-]st Battalion and [-]th Company.

Li Yunlong said: "There are two types of sharpshooters. One is to use the eyes for seconds, and the three points form a line. The thumb and forefinger pull the trigger together. They are well-behaved and not sloppy at all. This shooting method is very accurate."

"But the disadvantage is that it cannot capture the target quickly. It must form a line of sight before firing. This is called a sharpshooter on the shooting range, but it cannot be used in actual combat."

After a pause, Li Yunlong glanced at the fighters who were more than 200 meters away, and then said: "Another kind of sharpshooter fights by feeling, and does not put in all his strength to practice. What kind of gun is hung with a brick, and it is useless to practice aiming with an empty gun!"

"A real sharpshooter is one who is fed bullets on the battlefield. The more you shoot, the more you can feel it. You can reach it with your eyes and hands, lift the gun, and the bullets bite the flesh. This is called a sharpshooter."

"Regimental Commander, is the sharpshooter of our fourth company the first or the second type?" A sharpshooter soldier asked loudly.

All the soldiers immediately looked at Li Yunlong with expectation.

Li Yunlong glanced at the soldiers: "You are all veterans. You are the elite of our new group. Of course, you are considered the second type."

"But don't be proud. As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."

"In terms of marksmanship, you are indeed not bad, but compared with the Sword Squadron, it is far behind."

"Regimental Commander." Another soldier asked, "What's the level of the Sword Squadron?"

The Sharp Sword Squadron is a mysterious existence in the eyes of the new regiment's warriors. The Shenlong appears but never ends. Among the soldiers, only the legend of the Sharp Sword Squadron is spread.

What sneaked into Taiyuan and killed the devil pilots of the first army and then retreated, blowing up dozens of devil planes on the way to retreat.

Why behead Miyano Michichi, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army.

Only the soldiers who participate in the selection and training of the new regiment of special forces can have the opportunity to see the whole picture of the Sword Squadron.

But the eliminated soldiers refused to say anything after returning to the company.

There was nothing I could do, I was tortured in the Sword Squadron.

"What level? You'll be shocked to say that, the members of the Sword Squadron are all top-level shooters, one level higher than sharpshooters."

Li Yunlong stared and spoke loudly, and the soldiers listened carefully:
"The guys from the Sword Squadron are top-notch in terms of unarmed combat, shooting, latent infiltration, driving, blasting, etc."

"I don't ask you to be top-notch in all aspects, but you can't just practice gun shooting."

"I usually have to practice throwing grenades, practice bazookas, and practice physical fitness."

"A real king of soldiers must not only be a sharpshooter, but also a sharp shooter. He must also be top-notch in stabbing and physical fitness, and top-notch in all aspects."

After Li Yunlong's instruction, the training plan of the fourth company commander of the first battalion to the fourth company suddenly became clear.

The shooting performance of the fighters of the fourth company is indeed very good, but they neglect other training.

In terms of the tactical coordination of the soldiers, most of the soldiers of the fourth company are elite veterans, so naturally Li Yunlong doesn't need to say much.

"Da Biao, you have two tools to lead the troops."

"Not only did we bring out the Seventh Company of Steel, but we also brought out the Fourth Company of Sharpshooters."

Before leaving Dagu Town, Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao who was sent to the town, with a satisfied tone.

With such a strong combat effectiveness of the first battalion, Li Yunlong became more and more confident in his battle plan this time.

The corner of Zhang Dabiao's mouth twitched: "Commander, I have learned from you these few times. I made the soldiers sweat more during training and bleed less during war."

"The troops continue to strengthen their training." Li Yunlong patted Da Biao on the shoulder, "Our Eighth Route Army will attack Taiyuan soon, and we have an important task to entrust to your first battalion."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao straightened his body, his eyes suddenly lit up.
