Chapter 476 If anyone dares to fool me, I, Li Yunlong, will skin him alive!
After getting Chu Yunfei's accurate answer, Li Yunlong smiled. With Chu Yunfei's help, it would be much easier to open up a secret land transportation line. Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang were also very happy. They knew very well that the Japanese's encirclement and suppression of them would last for two and a half months at most. If it lasted too long, the Japanese's rear would be in big trouble. As long as they could survive two and a half months, they could win three months of breathing time.
"Old Li, we are almost at the Zhangzhuang stronghold. It is now 4:30 in the morning. Let the troops rest at 5:00. We will launch the attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold at 6:30 on time. Old Zhao, you must immediately send a telegram to the Maoershan Airport and ask the air force battalion to prepare for the attack and to launch the attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold with us!"
"Monk, go find Captain Sun and ask him to arrange for maintenance on the vehicles. Two transport vehicles broke down while traveling, but after emergency repairs, they have caught up with the main team. Ask Captain Sun to record all the problems with the vehicles. After returning, I will make large-scale improvements to these problems."
"Duan Peng, you will immediately send a telegram back to the 358th Regiment, telling us that you agree to Chu Yunfei's terms. The first transaction will be held in five days, and the location will be decided by Chu Yunfei. Just send us a telegram when the time comes."
Lin Zhenhua quickly made arrangements, and half an hour later, the team stopped at an open space and started cooking. The soldiers were a little tired from the overnight march, so they found a place and took a nap for half an hour. At six o'clock, the kitchen team prepared the food, and the soldiers started eating the hot food. It only took 20 minutes to finish the meal.
"Old Li, the troops will be leaving in ten minutes. The soldiers are checking their weapons and ammunition. You will be in charge from now on. I will just watch from the sidelines and learn from you!"
Li Yunlong took over the command without hesitation. He was now more and more adept at commanding the armored forces. He discussed with Lin Zhenhua for three hours last night and remembered many points that needed attention. These were all problems that had occurred in previous battles. As long as they were paid more attention, they could be avoided.
"College student, you are in charge of commanding the air force battalion. You must require them to launch a surprise attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold at 7 a.m. on time. This time cannot be too early or too late. It must be consistent with the ground troops. Only in this way can we catch the Japanese off guard."
"Zhu Zi, when you reach the artillery position, immediately set up the artillery for me, aim at the Zhangzhuang stronghold, and bombard it hard. Don't worry about the consumption of artillery shells. I will directly replenish them after the attack. We have plenty of artillery shells. This time, when attacking the Zhangzhuang stronghold, just give me a basic amount of ammunition."
"There is a regiment of Japanese soldiers stationed at Zhangzhuang, and a regiment of puppet troops, with a total number of more than 6000 people. There are three artillery towers and six bunkers, and the firepower is also relatively complete. There is an artillery battalion alone. This time we may need to fight a small-scale artillery battle with the Japanese."
"Our Bull tanks don't have to be afraid of the enemy's artillery shells, but our Rabbit armored vehicles can't withstand the frontal attack of the enemy's Type 92 infantry gun shells. If you, Wang Chengzhu, can't destroy the enemy's Type 92 infantry guns and mountain guns in the first place, then Zhang Dabiao's four armored battalions will be unable to move out and can only use tanks to launch an attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold."
"But the trenches dug by the Japanese at the Zhangzhuang stronghold are very deep and four meters wide. Even our bridge-laying vehicles have difficulty in laying a bridge to allow armored vehicles and tanks to pass. This time we can only use the mechanized infantry battalion to launch an attack and mount our machine guns on three-wheeled motorcycles to suppress the Japanese with firepower."
"Whether we can resolve the battle in a short time this time depends mainly on whether your artillery battalion, Wang Chengzhu, and the air force battalion commanded by college students can eliminate the Japanese artillery in the first place. If they cannot eliminate them in the first place, this surprise attack may very likely turn into an encounter, and in the end it may even become a refueling tactic!"
"Zhang Dabiao, you lead the four tank battalions to act as shields and provide protection for the armored vehicle battalion behind. Hit me hard and suppress the enemy's firepower. Beat them so hard that they can't raise their heads and help the mechanized infantry battalion pass through the trench smoothly."
"Shen Quan, you kid, don't just sit there. Lead two mechanized infantry battalions to launch an attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold. This battle can only be won, not lost. There is no need to be polite when dealing with the Japs. There is no need to be petty. Beat them hard. The light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns and machine guns I equipped you with are not for show. They are very powerful and can definitely give the Japs a good beating!"
"Lao Zhao, you lead the transport team to transport ammunition to the front line. You must ensure the ammunition supply to the front line. If we don't fight this battle, we will go all out. We must use ammunition to accumulate victory after victory. We have been bullied by the devils with advanced weapons before, but this time we can finally bully them back!"
"Monk, you will continue to be the captain of the commando team this time. Lead the commando team and launch a frontal assault to open a gap for the attacking troops."
"We must break through the Zhangzhuang stronghold within two hours, and start retreating after one hour. We must retreat to the vicinity of Yangshugou before 12 noon, using the cover of trees to avoid the bombing of the Japanese fighter planes. College student, you have to prepare the air force battalion for an ambush. If the Japanese fighter planes dare to come, we will eat them all up and make the Japanese feel that our air force battalion is not easy to mess with. Only in this way will the Japanese air force not cause trouble for us, and our next action will be smoother."
By the time Li Yunlong gave the order, the time for departure had arrived. At his command, the attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold was launched.
"Brothers, the brave will win when two meet in a narrow road. Charge! Fight with all your might today. I have never fought such a lucrative battle before. Don't save your ammunition. I will replenish as many bullets and shells as you use. Don't be like the landlord. Old Chai wants to put gold ingots in the cellar. You have to shoot all these bullets for me. But don't shoot blindly. Don't just shoot at this empty space when there is not even a single enemy. If anyone dares to do this, I will skin him alive!"
The Japanese troops stationed at Zhangzhuang were the Matsui Regiment, and the puppet troops were the 21th Regiment of the 211st Division. The two were clearly divided. The 211th Regiment was responsible for guarding the front and acting as a shield for the Japanese, while the Matsui Regiment was stationed in the rear, guarding the safety of supplies and artillery towers.
"Colonel, Huaishuzhuang was attacked last night. We are only 80 kilometers away from Huaishuzhuang. I think we should be more cautious and let the troops step up their vigilance. It would be best if the artillery is ready to fight at any time. We will lift the alert after the headquarters reports the current location of the mysterious troops." Captain Furui Ichiro persuaded anxiously.
Song Jinggangshan said with a sarcasm smile: "Gu Jing, you coward, it has been so many years, but you are still as brave as a mouse. The Empire has occupied most of China's territory, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign is going very smoothly, and the southward movement is even more unstoppable. The Empire will soon no longer lack resources. Rubber, oil, steel, and coal will not be a problem for us."
"The situation in the empire has not gotten worse than last year, but has gotten better. Even the situation in the mainland has improved a lot. I heard from my family that the food supply in the mainland is gradually returning to normal. It is expected to return to the level of three years ago in another six months. This was unimaginable before."
"The situation is developing in a good direction. We should be bolder. Not to mention that we are now drawing troops from the colonies. These are real cannon fodder. There is no need to consume them all. We can recruit them from the colonies with just a full meal. Their lives are only worth a meal. This time we recruited the elite. Next time we will directly capture able-bodied men, and the next time we will directly capture children. It would be best if we could send all the males from the colonies to the Chinese battlefield and let them kill each other. The empire can reap the benefits."
"Also, I want to tell you a secret. The headquarters has approved the implementation of a terrorist plan in northwest Shanxi, intending to eliminate the resistance forces in the entire northwest Shanxi. The main targets are Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment and the Zhaojiayu Base. The previous independent regiment base has been changed to the Zhaojiayu Base, mainly because the troops stationed there are not one regiment, but three regiments. In order to avoid misjudgment by the attacking troops, this change was made last night."
"Gujing-kun, you really don't need to worry too much about this. You should go back to sleep. You have been trying to persuade me for almost a whole night, but you still can't convince me. I have just called the 211th Regiment and asked them to increase their alert. I have been on guard all night last night, and I am already very tired. I need to have a good rest for the whole morning. I will leave the defense of the front line to your Gujing Battalion."
To be on the safe side, Matsui Okayama handed the task of guarding to Furui Ichiro. Furui Ichiro knew that Matsui Okayama was just being stubborn, otherwise he would never have transferred his Furui Battalion to be in charge of guarding.
Just as Ichiro Furui was receiving the order with a look of joy on his face, there were dozens of consecutive cannon blasts, followed by the explosion of shells hitting the ground. The ground in the entire Zhangzhuang stronghold shook, and Ichiro Furui almost lost his balance. Fortunately, he grabbed a chair next to him and sat down on it, his face full of shock!
