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

Chapter 380 No matter what method you, Zhang Dabiao, use, you must reach the North Gate within minut

By 2:1 in the morning of February 500, all attacking forces had arrived at the designated positions. The two armored battalions had camouflaged themselves in advance and secretly approached an area meters away from the Japanese. The engines were idling, and in order to reduce the noise, soldiers were specially arranged to cover them with tent cloth to eliminate the noise.

The effect was quite good. Under the protection of the soundproof camouflage net built with numerous tent cloths, the Japanese soldiers in the three checkpoints were not alert at all. This was indeed a good sign for Li Yunlong, indicating that the next attack would be very smooth.

"Old Li, I have just contacted the Thunder Fighter Squadron and have given them the initial order. Gao Yuanzhi will definitely be able to arrive at the battlefield with the fighter squadron before seven o'clock. It will definitely not affect the upcoming battle!" Lin Zhenhua picked up the telescope in his hand, looked into the distance, and said with a smile on his face.

Li Yunlong turned his head and looked at Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang certainly did not disappoint Li Yunlong. With a faint smile on his face, he said happily: "All vehicles are in good condition. The artillery battalion and the rocket launcher battalion are also ready to strike the three enemy checkpoints at any time! The armored forces are also very safe and have not been discovered by the enemy. Everything is going very smoothly!"

Li Yunlong did not speak but looked into the distance. When he saw the monk and Duan Peng waving at him respectively, Li Yunlong felt relieved and said with a hearty smile: "Duan Peng and the monk have dealt with the Japs' sentries. I don't have to worry about our armored forces being discovered by the Japs in advance. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Now there are only fifteen minutes left before the attack. Notice them that even if you have diarrhea, you have to poop in your pants. Whoever dares to make a loud noise at this time, don't blame me for chopping off his head!"

As Li Yunlong's covert order was issued, the soldiers lay quietly on the cold vehicles like statues, waiting for the attack order to be issued. The Fukou Squadron stationed in the three outposts was sleeping soundly in the artillery tower at the rear. The weather was too cold, and the Japanese soldiers were shivering with cold. Coupled with the howling wind, the Japanese soldiers fell asleep in the second half of the night and did not know that danger was approaching.

Three minutes before the attack order was issued, Li Yunlong looked at Lin Zhenhua. Lin Zhenhua made an OK gesture, informing Li Yunlong that the Thunder Fighter Squadron had arrived over Ping'an County and was hiding in the clouds, ready to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese in Ping'an County at any time.

Li Yunlong finally felt relieved. He looked at his pocket watch and radio in his hand. When the time showed seven o'clock, he shouted angrily, "Zhu Zi, immediately use all our artillery to bombard the three enemy checkpoints! Li Gousheng, immediately launch a round of volleys at the enemy checkpoints and kill all the enemy soldiers inside!"

"Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, lead the 1st and 2nd Armored Battalions to launch an attack immediately. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Motorized Infantry Battalions will follow closely behind. Break through the three enemy checkpoints and march towards Ping'an County!"

Lin Zhenhua immediately contacted the transport plane in the air and ordered the fighter squadron to attack. The Thunder Fighter Squadron, following closely behind the transport plane, immediately flew out of the clouds after seeing the attack indicator light on its fuselage, and dived towards Ping'an County, looking for its own attack target.

The Japanese soldiers who were about to wake up in the three checkpoints didn't know that the god of death had arrived and was holding a sickle to harvest their lives. After Li Yunlong issued the order to attack, Wang Chengzhu waved the flag fiercely, and hundreds of large and small artillery pieces launched a covering bombardment on the three checkpoints of the Japanese soldiers.

"One test shot, two for adjustment, three for precision fire, follow the firing standards set by college students, and fire hard!"

As soon as Wang Chengzhu finished speaking, hundreds of thumps rang out, and 1 mortar shells flew towards the location of the three checkpoints, making violent explosions after landing. Only 10/ of the shells hit. According to the landing point of the shells, the soldiers of the artillery battalion immediately corrected the shooting angle and quickly started shelling again. This time the hit rate was much higher, reaching %.

Wang Chengzhu also operated a 180mm heavy mortar and fired at the Japanese artillery tower. After three adjustments, he accurately hit the top of the Japanese artillery tower. A large amount of bricks and rubble fell to the ground, causing the Japanese and puppet soldiers hiding in the artillery tower to wake up from their beds with fear on their faces, and rushed out of the artillery tower screaming like headless flies.

Before these puppet soldiers and Japanese devils could completely run out of the artillery tower, 120 105mm caliber rockets fell into the Japanese devils' positions like flowers scattered from the sky. Violent explosions were heard, and most of the Japanese devils and puppet soldiers who had just escaped were directly killed.

Li Yunlong quietly looked at the battlefield in front of him. The smoke produced by the explosion blocked his vision a little, but he could still see some situations clearly. Two of the three artillery towers had collapsed, and the remaining one was being bombarded by concentrated artillery fire. It would be destroyed in at most one minute.

The first and second armored battalions were rapidly approaching the three checkpoints. The battle was going very smoothly, and no resistance from the devils had been encountered so far. But this did not make Li Yunlong put down his worries. It was only a matter of time before the three checkpoints were taken down. The most critical issue in this battle was whether the two armored battalions could reach the north gate within 15 minutes, which would determine the outcome of the battle.

Li Yunlong has urged Zhang Dabiao to march at full speed. If there is a problem with the vehicle, just stop it and wait for rescue. Let the other armored vehicles continue to move forward and try their best to capture the north gate.

"Zhang Dabiao, hurry up. No matter what's blocking you, just rush through it. The reconnaissance company has sent news that they have blown up the north gate. The Japanese in the city are frantically rushing to reinforce the north gate. You only have ten minutes at most. One-third of the reconnaissance company has been killed or wounded. The battle is very fierce. You must get to the north gate within the scheduled time, otherwise the sacrifice of the reconnaissance company will be in vain!"

Zhang Dabiao did not answer using the intercom. He desperately urged the driver to speed up, and even threw away the oil barrel he was carrying to reduce the weight of the armored vehicle and increase its speed.

"Hurry up, hurry up. The reconnaissance company only has more than 100 people. We can only hold off the Japanese for more than ten minutes at most. The regiment commander has given us a strict order. We must reach the north city gate within ten minutes. Drive at full speed and turn off the speed limiter. Even if the engine is scrapped, we must arrive on schedule!"

Following Zhang Dabiao's order, the 1st Armored Battalion suddenly increased its speed again, activated the rocket booster, and quickly passed through three checkpoints, rushing towards the north gate of Ping'an County. Shen Quan, who followed closely behind, also immediately ordered the activation of the rocket booster to prevent the distance between the two sides from widening, and desperately accelerated to march towards Ping'an County!

Soon the motorized infantry battalion following behind was left far behind, and the distance between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, which made Zhang Dashan very angry. If he could not catch up with the armored forces, Li Yunlong would never let them go easily and would definitely give Zhang Dashan and his men a severe beating.

This also made Zhang Dashan and others anxious. They threw the two barrels of gasoline on the motorcycle directly to the ground to reduce the weight of the three-wheeled motorcycle. At the same time, they required the drivers not to slow down no matter what road they encountered and to rush to the north gate desperately.

It was this spirit of not admitting defeat that gradually narrowed the gap between the front and rear troops. However, this could not stop the crisis of the city gate being lost. The reconnaissance company was beaten to the point where only one platoon of soldiers was left. They struggled to hold on and waited for reinforcements. When they saw that the reinforcements were about to arrive, they detonated the last grenade in their hands, rushed to the city gate tower, and shouted with all their might: "Damn little Japanese, come to my side, I have something delicious to give you, come here quickly, you grandsons want to kill me, come here if you have the guts!"

More than a dozen explosions sounded in succession, and more than 100 soldiers, including Captain Yu, all died at the North Gate. They bought time for the progress of the armored forces. It was this three-minute delay that allowed Zhang Dabiao's first armored battalion to rush to the North Gate just before the Japanese organized their defense. The leading Manxiong tank was like a bull, knocking away the five or six sandbags that the Japanese had just put down, and directly rushed into Ping'an County.

Zhang Dabiao waved the command flag and shouted angrily: "Brothers, hurry up and charge in. We must not let the brothers of the reconnaissance company die in vain. Immediately follow the tank company into the city, divide and surround the Japanese in the city, and kill all the Japanese in the city before the regiment commander arrives!"

Under the command of Zhang Dabiao, the soldiers of the 1st Armored Battalion, with the mentality of avenging their comrades in the reconnaissance company, did not slow down the march of the armored vehicles. Instead, they charged into Ping'an County from the north gate like a bull and launched the most fierce attack on the Japanese command post.

The 36 fighter jets in the sky descended to a low altitude of 500 meters, found the Japanese barracks, and took turns to madly shoot at the Japanese who had just woken up. Nearly half of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers were killed before they left the barracks, and the rest fled in all directions like headless flies.

An air raid on the Japanese headquarters was also underway. The 20mm machine guns kept firing crazily at the Japanese headquarters, waking up Colonel Kurofuji and others who were resting. They immediately hid in the underground air-raid shelter and thus escaped!

"Damn it! Low attack! Counterattack quickly!" Saburo Horii, the captain of the Horii squad stationed at the Japanese command center, roared miserably.

But his efforts were completely in vain. More than a dozen fighter planes in the sky kept firing at the Japanese garrison battalion headquarters. The Japanese soldiers were unable to raise their heads and could only hide in the bunkers and tremble, hoping that the fighter planes in the sky would leave quickly!
