Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Brigadier Chen ordered the main attack missions to be the 16th and 18th Regiments and the 1st Special Operations Regiment. The 17th Regiment moved to the north of Xiyang to block reinforcements from the south and enemies fleeing north.

One unit of the 1st Artillery Regiment, 1st Air Defense Regiment, and 1st Support Regiment participated in the battle.

After Xiyang's Japs got the news, they immediately put the Yellow Shoes Army under surveillance.

Make sure that every yellow-shoe army is monitored by Japanese soldiers behind them to prevent collusion and group surrender, or even defection on the battlefield.

The second thing the Japanese did was to lay mines around the county.

The third thing is of course to ask for help. The number of the 386th Brigade is not much larger than that of the Independent Brigade. The number of troops that can be used to besiege Xiyang can be [-].

Banshui County No. [-] heard the news and immediately called Souchong Yinan:

Banshui County Er likes to ask for instructions very much, which is completely opposite to Li Yunlong.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have just received news from Xiyang: Most of the 386th Brigade of Haqi Road are rushing towards Xiyang.

There are more than 155 people, with several heavy artillery of [-] mm and above, and there are also divine birds participating in the battle.

Its military strength is more than 6 times that of our Xiyang defenders.

I suggest moving to Pingding and establishing a strong defense line in Pingding to ensure that Yangquan is not lost! "

When subordinates in the Plaster Kingdom address their superiors, they use honorifics.

But he is not so humble when he calls himself, even when he makes mistakes.

They do not call themselves "humble" or "despicable". Don’t be misled by movies and TV shows.

Just like the author wrote "Jin Zuo" before, many readers think that "Tuan Zuo" should be written.

In fact, the name "Tuanzao" comes from film and television dramas, and there is no such name.

As far as the relationship between the superiors and subordinates of the Japanese is concerned, it is very complicated.

On the one hand, the Japs have a relatively serious sense of hierarchy; on the other hand, the Japs have the tradition of the subordinates overcoming the superiors.

Historically, during World War II, the Japanese were first-rate in tactics but poor in strategy.

The reason is that the superiors who make the strategy are afraid to put forward their own ideas, and they must cater to the young junior officers.

Otherwise, the consequences will be serious, and the most serious ones may even lead to loss of life.

In the Plaster Country, there is no need to be surprised at all when the Prime Minister is assassinated. That is the ancestral skill of the Plaster Country!

When they hear the news that the Prime Minister has been assassinated, the people of the plaster country will just say "Oh, he was assassinated again." That's it.

Not saying: "The Prime Minister was assassinated? Really? How could this happen? Oh my God! It's incredible!"

However, this time it is slightly different.

In the past, when subordinates overcame superiors, most of the time it was the subordinates who were more radical and the superiors who were more conservative.

But this time, the subordinate took the initiative to request a transfer.

If this time Banshui County No. [-] said: "How dare Haqi Road attack Xiyang, I will mobilize three brigades to destroy Haqi Road in Jin Province!"

That little guy really didn't dare to completely deny it, so he could only try his best to persuade.

Otherwise, maybe Banshui County No. [-] would do as he was told and sneak into his headquarters and place a time bomb under his seat.

"Mr. Banshui, before we start the war, we are going to advance. This is not the style of our Great Plaster Locust Army!

This is going to reach the ears of the navy's red deer, and it won't make you laugh out loud?

We still have to fight, but we have to make sure that the retreat from Pingding to Xiyang is clear. "

So Banshui County No. 13 ordered the Japanese [-]th Infantry Brigade to withdraw from the city and occupy the major transportation roads in the north of the city to ensure the safety of the retreat route.

This order finally made the Japanese 13th Infantry Brigade grateful.

After receiving the order, the 13th Infantry Brigade was overjoyed and rushed out of the city like a chicken coop just opened in the morning.

Before they even had time to dig trenches, they were bombarded by huge artillery that they had never seen before!

There are not only 155mm howitzers, but also 122mm rocket launchers.

When Li Yunlong bombarded Xiyang, this brigade was not stationed here, so this was the first time they were bombarded.

And there were no rocket launchers at that time.

The 17th regiment, Lao Kong's regiment, was responsible for seizing the main road on the north side outside Xiyang City.

Street fighting is a bit troublesome; in field fighting, the 386th Brigade is not afraid of any opponent.

Brigadier Chen had already calculated that the Japanese might escape, so he told the 17th Regiment to run as fast as they could. If they couldn't escape, they would run to death!

Although the soldiers of the 17th Regiment stepped on the accelerator of the infantry fighting vehicle to the bottom; the soldiers who walked on two legs moved their legs like hot wheels, they were still a step too late.

The infantry never saw the Japanese from beginning to end.

Only the artillery relied on its range advantage and achieved certain results.

This time, Brigadier Chen spent a lot of money and directly let the self-propelled 155mm howitzer drive barefoot.

As mentioned before, when this type of tracked gun truck maneuvers remotely, it generally needs to be transported by a large truck, otherwise it will cause greater damage to the track.

This time, in order to hold off the Japanese as soon as possible, Brigadier Chen directly let the self-propelled howitzer run on the ground.

Along with the self-propelled howitzer vehicles, heavy infantry fighting vehicles were also traveling barefoot.

When the people heard that the Japanese were coming, they fled into the mountains long ago. Even with heavy firepower, there is no need to worry about accidental injury.

If it really happened that some ordinary people couldn't run fast enough and got mixed up with the Japanese, there would be nothing we could do.

After all, killing Japanese is to protect more compatriots. We cannot lose more compatriots because of one or two compatriots.

Moreover, if ordinary people really ran into the enemy's ranks, I am afraid that even without heavy firepower, these ordinary people would not survive.

After all, it has become instinct for the Japanese to kill me, the Chinese.

In the end, each 155mm howitzer fired 5 rounds. The 122mm rocket launcher also fired two rounds.

The Japanese who were bombarded naturally had no need to think about anything and had no time to think. They have become minced meat.

The Japanese who had not been bombarded looked at this situation and thought: What a waste of time! Sayazi, run away!

As for the 71st Brigade, it can do whatever it wants, who cares about them!

Infantry guns, mortars, and grenades were thrown all over the ground. They especially hoped that our army would seize their supplies so that they could run longer.

It wasn't until we reached Pingding that we had time to stop and take a breath. At the same time, report to Banshui County No. [-].

If it weren't for the fact that he had to prevent Xiyang's Japs from escaping, Lao Kong would have really wanted to pacify them all in one go!

It's better to come to Erzhan Yangquan and capture Banshui County Er alive!

But, no, the overall situation still comes first.

Lao Kong is a little more calm than Li Yunlong a year ago.

"Stop, stop, stop chasing. Three battalions build defensive positions, and the rest clean up the Japanese and Japanese in nearby villages.

Inform the artillerymen that the Japanese have fled far away and there is no need to chase them.

Report to brigade headquarters at the same time. "Kong Jie ordered.

The own staff assigned tasks according to Lao Kong's orders.

Just like when Li Yunlong attacked Xiangyuan, the heavy machinery troops could not move as fast as the two-legged infantry under the local road conditions.

This made Brigadier Chen make a decision in his heart that was consistent with Li Yunlong: in the future, when the base area is stable, roads must be built first!

"How far behind is the air defense battalion of the 17th Regiment?" Brigadier Chen asked.

"Report, there are still 15 kilometers!"

"Let them speed up. Notify the 17th Regiment and ask them to pay attention to air defense. The air defense battalion is lagging behind."

"Yes!"

"Order the 16th and 18th regiments to immediately surround Xiyang City, release the north gate, drive the Japanese out of the city, and then annihilate them!

The 1st Artillery Regiment continued shelling the city wall. After the artillery fire extended, the 1st Special Operations Regiment seized the city wall.

Snipers establish sniper positions.

The infantry fighting vehicle passed through the city from west to east, knocking out the enemy's fire points, and the snipers cleared the exposed fire points.

The first round of shelling must hit the Japanese headquarters at the same time! "

"Yes!"

The first battle after the 386th Brigade replaced its modern equipment has officially begun.
