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

Chapter 172: The bravest of the two will win when they meet on a narrow road. Brothers, follow me an

"Captain Wang, Captain Li, immediately set up our artillery and fire hard at Li Yunlong's position. Use up all the shells we brought at once. I want to see if Li Yunlong is as powerful as he boasts!"

"Zheng Dapao, take your three battalions and launch an attack immediately. I will support you from the rear!"

"Thank you, Boss. Lead the bandit coalition to attack immediately. I don't want a penny of the bounty this time. I, Xue Lao San, will never break my promise!"

Under Xue Laosan's order, the two artillery companies immediately built artillery positions, cannons were placed in the gun positions, and boxes of artillery shells were lifted off the carriages.

Li Yunlong was not going to wait foolishly for Xue Laosan and Xie Baoqing to prepare in advance. As soon as the two arrived, he ordered Zhang Dabiao: "Dabiao, launch an attack immediately and let these bandits in front of us have a taste of the power of armored vehicles. I want to see how long they can hold out!"

"Captain, our independent regiment has never fought with such soft persimmons. Today we will pinch them and let them know how powerful our independent regiment is and how they know what to do!" Zhang Dabiao replied proudly.

Li Yunlong put down the telescope in his hand and cursed angrily: "Da Biao, you are talking in a set way now. If you don't know me, you will be thought to be a great intellectual. This time we are killing a chicken with a butcher knife. We can't capsize in the gutter. I will fight hard to show the indomitable momentum of our independent regiment!"

Zhang Dabiao stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Commander, just look at the performance of our armored forces. We will definitely not let you down!"

After Zhang Dabiao led his men away, Li Yunlong did not hear any movement from the front. He knew that Wei Dayong must have failed, which made him angrily curse: "Damn monk, he boasted a lot, but he failed at the critical moment. It seems difficult to expect this kid to kill the enemy's artillery!"

"Brothers, let's follow immediately. When the armored assault team breaks into the enemy group, we will go up and fight with the enemy with bayonets. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Let the enemy on the opposite side see how good our independent regiment is in bayonet fighting!"

Ever since the last defeat of the Yoshino Regiment, the Independent Regiment has been in short supply of ammunition. On the one hand, the ammunition was almost used up in the last battle, and the actual spoils of war could not make up for the consumption. In addition, the army expanded too quickly and a batch of ammunition was distributed. After a slight average distribution, the ammunition distributed to the soldiers was even less.

Originally, the Independent Regiment could replenish its ammunition through the arsenal, but since the arsenal was blown up by the Japanese, and the arsenal was busy with expansion, ammunition production was basically suspended, which made the Independent Regiment even more stretched.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenhua got a division's weapons and equipment from the Third Reich, which solved the independent regiment's ammunition crisis at once. He did not bring extra ammunition when he came out this time. After all, he had done business with Xue Changkun several times and nothing had gone wrong. Unexpectedly, a big problem occurred this time, which caused Li Yunlong to suffer a big loss.

"The armored squad immediately opens fire and rushes into the enemy camp. Break through them in the shortest possible time and pave the way for the follow-up troops to attack!"

Amid Zhang Dabiao's angry shouts, the armored team consisting of four armored vehicles began to move slowly, and the armored vehicle team also moved slowly. As the speed of the armored vehicle team continued to increase, in order to avoid the enemy's artillery, they began to move in a zigzag pattern. After moving forward about 200 meters, the three machine guns on the armored vehicles kept firing forward, strafing Zheng Dapao's Third Battalion and the bandit coalition. This made Zheng Dapao and Xie Baoqing unable to react for a while, and they were hit head-on by Zhang Dabiao.

Zheng Dapao looked at the scene in front of him and cursed, "What the hell are you all standing there for? Hurry up and shoot! Use machine gun fire to suppress the armored vehicles. Shoot at their tires. Blow up their tires. I don't believe that the armored vehicles can still move forward after their tires are blown up!"

"Adjutant Xu, what the hell are you still standing there for? Go and ask Xue Laosan why the two artillery companies haven't fired a single shell even though the battle has already begun. I will lead my men to retreat after three minutes when I can't hear any more artillery fire. I will never let my men be cannon fodder for Xue Laosan. Just tell Xue Laosan that. I don't need to give him face!"

"Xie Baoqing, look at these bandits under your command. They are ready to run away before the fight even starts. If the enemy's armored vehicles really rush up, you will all run away in an instant!"

As soon as Zheng Dapao finished speaking, dozens of gunshots rang out, and more than 30 bandits were killed by the supervision team. This made Zheng Dapao swallow his next words. He looked at Xie Baoqing's livid face and couldn't help but admire him: "Master Xie, you are so fucking cruel. I can't compare to you in this respect. You actually sent the Jade-faced Scholar to ask Xue Laosan for the supervision team and personally deal with the escaped bandits. I really wronged you just now. When I go back, I will buy you a drink to apologize to you!"

"Hai Gensheng, what the hell are you still standing there for? Hurry up and throw the grenade. It's only been half a year since we last fought a war. Who are you dithering for? You're almost making me lose face!"

Xie Baoqing did not pay attention to Zheng Dapao's shouting. More than 30 bandits had just died, two of whom were from his Heiyun Village. It would be strange if he felt good seeing his brothers being beaten to death in front of him.

Not to mention the other several bandit leaders nearby, who looked at him as if they wanted to eat him. This made him realize that he had offended all the leaders of the nearby mountain strongholds, and these people would definitely regard him as an enemy in the future. If his Black Cloud Stronghold wanted to continue staying in this area, he had to help Xue Laosan win this battle.

"Mountain Cat, at this point, I won't hide it from you. Whether our Black Cloud Village will live a life of luxury or eat coarse food in the future depends on this one. Brothers, hold on. Artillery support will be here soon. These four iron bastards won't be able to stay arrogant for long!"

The second in command Shanmaozi not only did not feel anything, but was actually very excited and answered: "Big Boss, it has come to this point, we have nothing to hide. If we can't deal with Li Yunlong this time, our village will never have peace!"

As soon as Zhang Dabiao launched the attack, Xue Laosan led his men to the artillery position. He scolded the two artillery company commanders, "What are you two doing? Why haven't you fired yet? Don't you see that Li Yunlong's armored vehicles have already rushed up? If we delay any longer, the troops will be overwhelmed, and by then even you will become their prisoners!"

"Let the mortars fire first. The mountain artillery can fire slower. We must stop those four armored vehicles from rushing up! Captain Hao, your guard company will stay here to help the artillery company carry the shells and protect their safety. We must use up all the shells we brought within half an hour. This time, I want Li Yunlong to see how powerful our 726th Regiment's artillery is!"

Captains Wang and Li did not dare to delay. They knew that Xue Laosan was really angry this time, so they hurriedly directed their artillerymen to immediately calculate the position of the armored vehicle. It only took them one minute to start shelling the front, but their accuracy was too poor and not a single shell hit the target. All of them were seriously off target.

However, Captain Wang and Captain Li did not care. They had already corrected the shooting angle according to the landing point of the shells, and the probability of hitting the target would be much higher the next time they fired.

Wei Dayong, who was lying in ambush in the grass, didn't expect that Xue Laosan would send the guard company to the artillery position again. This made him hesitate for a moment. After all, he only brought a platoon this time, a total of 25 people including himself, and the enemies in front of him added up to nearly people. This made him a little nervous. He didn't know whether he should launch an attack now?

"Monk, let's launch the attack quickly. If we wait any longer, the four armored vehicles will be lost!" Platoon leader Wen Haiming urged.

Wei Dayong rolled his eyes and replied unhappily, "Platoon Leader Wen, if we launch an attack now with only 20 of us, it would be like delivering food to the enemy. A single spit from the enemy can drown us, not to mention that the enemy is very alert now. If we launch an attack now, the chances of success are slim. We should wait and see. After all, good things come to those who wait. This is what the college students taught me!"

Wen Haiming asked suspiciously, "Monk, don't make so many excuses. The reason you don't dare to attack is because you are afraid, right?"

Wei Dayong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Platoon Leader Wen, don't provoke me with your words. I won't fall for it now! I won't take my brothers to die in vain. The battle has just begun. Our armored vehicles are not as weak as you think. After being reinforced by college students, 80mm mortar shells can't destroy the external armor at all. This has been tested in actual combat. Let's wait a little longer. As long as the other side doesn't use 75mm mountain artillery, we don't need to be too anxious!"

"The 75mm mountain cannon can fire armor-piercing shells, which are the weapons that can truly threaten armored vehicles. Our first goal is to destroy those four mountain cannons, and the mortars are just a by-product!"

After listening to the monk's explanation, Platoon Leader Wen felt relieved and lay in the grass, observing quietly, waiting for the opportunity to come.

As 18 mortars opened fire gradually, it really had some impact on the armored team. Fortunately, Lin Zhenhua asked them to march in a Z-shaped pattern. A large number of mortar shells exploded near the armored vehicles. The scattered shrapnel was blocked by the armor and did not affect the soldiers in the armored vehicles at all.

On the contrary, the grenades thrown by Zheng Dapao actually affected the armored team's vision, making it impossible for them to see the target accurately when they were shooting. This reduced the lethality of the machine guns. Fortunately, the four machine guns kept firing left and right, making up for some of the lack of firepower in the range!
