Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 238: Not killing all the Japanese Iron King 1 in one go, what a shame! 8-character chapter

When Wang Chengzhu heard Li Yunlong's questioning, there was a bitter look on his face. To be honest, he was indeed to blame for the heavy artillery company's failure under his command. But he was also speechless. He was far behind Lin Zhenhua in the use of heavy artillery. Large-caliber heavy artillery required knowledge of ballistics, and much of his previous experience could not be used at all.

Even though Wang Chengzhu has studied very hard, he still hasn't mastered the trick. If Lin Zhenhua hadn't provided the shooting table, even if he had more heavy artillery, it would be useless. He could only fire the shells. As for where the shells would land in the end, he had no way of knowing for sure!

Wang Chengzhu replied bitterly: "Captain, I only have two heavy guns left. The others can no longer fire shells for various reasons. Two of our six anti-aircraft guns were destroyed, and two were severely damaged. Only two can continue to fire into the air. If it weren't for the help of the college students, we would not be able to stop the attack of the Japanese fighter squadron!"

"Our artillery is too weak now. This time we have too few troops and artillery. The Japanese fighter planes dare to ride on our heads and pee and shit. I suggested to the college students that we transfer two air defense companies, but they refused!"

Li Yunlong interrupted him quickly, "Zhu Zi, it's useless to complain about the weather today. I only look at the results, not the process. Can you not fight because we have fewer troops? Before, our independent regiment didn't even have a heavy artillery. We would be happy for several days if we could seize one or two Type 75 infantry guns from the devils. Now we can make 12mm mountain guns at will, and even heavy artillery, I have made guns for you. Don't complain to me, the college students only used the strength of two companies to block the three fighter squadrons of the devils. Their command ability is obvious to all!"

"Zhu Zi, you better fight well for me. Keep a close eye on the Japanese heavy artillery and destroy as many as you can. Don't worry about the battles in other directions. Your only task is to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery for me!"

Li Yunlong hung up the phone directly. He had just led his men to repel a wave of offensive from the Japanese and had a few minutes of buffer time. Otherwise, he would not have had so much time to argue with Wang Chengzhu. If it were not for Wang Chengzhu's actual difficulties, Li Yunlong would have scolded him long ago. He would never have been as easy to talk to as he was today!

"Commander, the Japanese are attacking again. This is the eighth attack this morning. It seems that the Japanese will not give up until we take our position." Wei Dayong said with a sigh after drinking a bowl of mung bean soup.

As a result, Li Yunlong drank the mung bean soup handed over by Monk Wei, put the bowl aside, and said in a serious tone: "The Japanese have dispatched so many troops this time, and they were severely punished twice by our independent regiment in the past two days. I guess the Japanese's immediate superiors should have set a deadline for them, otherwise the Japanese would not have fought so hard when they attacked today!"

"As long as we can hold out for a few days, when the Japanese find that they can't do anything to our independent regiment, we can be truly safe! Everyone, load the anti-tank guns with shells in advance. The Japanese tanks are only 400 meters away from us. With the power of our anti-tank guns, it will be no problem to destroy the Japanese tanks!"

"Everyone listen to my orders. An anti-tank gun is aimed at a Japanese tank. Fire immediately and kill this Japanese bastard!"

Under Li Yunlong's order, 24 anti-tank guns kept a close eye on the Japanese tanks. When the Japanese tanks were 24 meters away from the position, 18 armor-piercing shells were fired, of which accurately hit the Japanese tanks. Except for two Japanese tanks that escaped, the other dozen or so Japanese tanks were all destroyed.

"What the hell are you all still standing there for? What's the show to watch? Why don't you quickly take down the two remaining Japanese tanks? With so many anti-tank guns, you can't even take out the Japanese tanks in one go. You're really embarrassing me!"

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, six 37mm spring cannons opened fire again. Four shells hit two Japanese tanks, directly penetrating the ammunition in the tanks and causing the ammunition to explode. All the Japanese in the tanks were killed, and even the two tanks were reduced to wreckage.

Looking at the results achieved by the anti-tank gun, Li Yunlong's mouth was a little wide open with joy, but he was not vague. He immediately ordered the soldiers to push the anti-tank gun down. This was the treasure of the independent regiment. In the future, if they encountered the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, there would be nothing to be afraid of. As long as the Japanese armored forces arrived, they would be resolutely eliminated. Li Yunlong was full of confidence in this. In terms of weapons and equipment, except for the lack of fighter planes and warships, Li Yunlong was really not inferior to others in terms of the weapons and equipment used by the army.

When Colonel Miyata saw that two squadrons of tanks were destroyed by the anti-aircraft guns of the Independent Regiment, he could not believe his eyes. He had been on guard against the anti-aircraft guns of the Independent Regiment. In addition, the Independent Regiment had never used anti-aircraft guns to attack tanks before. It was a pioneering use of anti-aircraft guns to attack tanks. This made Colonel Miyata's mind always keep a close eye on the two anti-aircraft guns. He did not expect that the Independent Regiment actually had anti-aircraft guns. A moment of carelessness led to the annihilation of the two squadrons of tanks. This made Colonel Miyata break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. Now he even suspected that the Independent Regiment still had secret weapons, but they just didn't plan to use them now!

"Noda, mobilize four heavy artillery pieces to suppress the two artillery positions. The rest of the heavy artillery pieces will immediately bombard the fortifications built by the independent regiment. We must destroy all of their remaining eight firepower fortresses to cover the imperial infantry's occupation of the Chinese army's positions!"

"Noda, the headquarters has sent another urgent telegram. We can't avoid this time. Don't think about saving ammunition. The headquarters will replenish us with as much as we can. We are required to break through the front line of the independent regiment before tomorrow evening and wipe out the entire independent regiment within three days!"

Adjutant Noda did not expect the headquarters to be so anxious this time. He knew there was no need to conserve his strength at this time. He bowed his head with a firm face and said, "Your Excellency Colonel, I understand. Next, I will personally command the heavy artillery squadron and eliminate all the fire bunkers on the enemy's position before 12 noon today!"

Colonel Miyata nodded and gave the order to the artillery squadron to open fire at full force. The artillerymen no longer retreated, but moved forward carrying mortars and pushing Type 92 infantry guns to provide even more intense artillery support for the attacking infantry.

Lin Zhenhua looked at the time. It was now 10:38. The battle had been going on for two and a half hours. The casualties on both sides were very heavy. The casualties of the three battalions of the Japanese had reached half. But even so, the Japanese did not stop their offensive and sent up the last battalion of fresh troops. This meant that the last offensive operation of this morning had begun again.

Looking at the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese, Lin Zhenhua also felt a headache. The Japanese fighter planes had been wreaking havoc in the air for more than two hours. The fuel and ammunition should have been almost consumed. It is estimated that they will return soon. As long as the Japanese fighter planes return, the independent regiment will have the opportunity to counterattack!

However, Lin Zhenhua's guess was a little wrong this time, because the fighter jets of the three squadrons will fly to Taiyuan Airport for landing, and Taiyuan Airport also has a batch of fuel and ammunition that have been urgently transferred. The only thing missing is small bombs for aviation. However, this does not have much impact on the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Zero fighters. After all, the machine gun shells and bullets are very sufficient, and even the fuel is enough for them to fly once. This also allows the three fighter squadrons of the Japanese to have a longer air time.

But Lin Zhenhua simply didn't have the time to think about so much. Anti-aircraft warfare consumes a lot of ammunition. Now they have been fighting for more than two hours, and there have been some minor problems with the supply of ammunition. Fortunately, it did not affect the combat effectiveness, but it did cause some trouble for Lin Zhenhua. Up to now, they have only shot down a total of six Japanese Zero fighters, and most of them were rookie pilots. The Japanese fighter pilots also honed their driving skills through this attack.

It has been more than half an hour since their last victory, but they have not achieved any results. This shows how fast the Japanese fighter pilots grow under the pressure of life and death.

"Zhu Zi, you will take over the air defense on the position from now on. The two heavy artillery will be under my command. The Japanese heavy artillery is too threatening to us. Just now one of our firepower bunkers was destroyed by the Japanese heavy artillery. If the Japanese continue to destroy us one by one like this, we won't be able to save any of our artillery positions and firepower bunkers. Without these things, we will have to fight with our lives if we want to defend our position, and the number of casualties will rise to a very scary level!"

Lin Zhenhua and Zhuzi completed the exchange of command. Lin Zhenhua observed the position of the Japanese 105 heavy artillery through the artillery observation and aiming equipment, and immediately estimated the approximate position through mental arithmetic. The two heavy artillery began to adjust rapidly according to the angle and position provided by Lin Zhenhua. After the adjustment was in place, they immediately test-fired a shell. Lin Zhenhua's eyes were always fixed on the landing point of the shell. He found that the shell was about 10 meters away from a Japanese heavy artillery. He immediately made 20 fine adjustments, fine-tuned the angle a little, and ordered the two heavy artillery to fire at the same time again.

The effect of the artillery fire this time was very good. One shell was only about one meter away from the Japanese heavy artillery. The fragments produced by the explosion of the shell when it hit the ground directly hit three Japanese artillerymen. This also aroused the vigilance of the surrounding Japanese artillery positions. But before the Japanese could react, two more shells came and directly hit a 120mm cannon howitzer. The heavy artillery was blown into the sky and even the barrel was twisted into a knot.

Seeing this result in the heavy artillery sight, Lin Zhenhua shouted excitedly, "We fired seven shells and hit one of the Japanese 7mm howitzers. Everyone, cheer up. The Japanese artillery is just so-so. There is nothing to be afraid of. Today, I will let the Japanese know how powerful the Northwest Artillery God is, so that they won't have to look at me through the crack in the door!"
