When Zhou Cheng thought of the power of four large-caliber mountain cannons, his face was filled with joy and ordered on the spot: "You immediately draw the best gunners from the artillery battalion to form a heavy mountain cannon company. The five just seized 120mm caliber mortars are all equipped with the artillery battalion, and then form a heavy mortar company."

"The artillery battalion is reorganized into a heavy artillery battalion, with a heavy mountain artillery company, two heavy mortar companies, two field artillery companies, and one air defense company."

"It turns out that the two mountain artillery companies that were originally affiliated with the artillery battalion were all broken up. In addition to the mountain artillery and infantry artillery captured by us in attacking Jinzhong, we are all equipped with four garrison brigades and four main battalions."

"The artillery company they originally formed was upgraded to a mountain artillery company or an infantry artillery company. If the number of artillery is sufficient, each artillery company is equipped with six mountain artillery or infantry artillery. If the number of artillery is insufficient, the artillery companies of the four garrisons will be upgraded to a mountain artillery company and an infantry artillery company. The four main battalions temporarily set up a mountain artillery platoon or infantry artillery platoon!"

"All the mortars originally equipped by each unit were placed at the battalion and company level. Each main battalion of the garrison added a mortar, plus the original heavy machine gun platoon, and combined into a firepower company."

"The fire platoon of each main company of the regiment was originally equipped with three to four heavy machine guns and four grenade launchers. After the mountain cannons and infantry cannons were placed in the battalion headquarters, all the extra mortars were strengthened to the fire platoons, and all the grenade launchers equipped by the fire platoons were placed in the main platoons, and they tried to equip each main platoon with two gates to strengthen the attacking firepower of the main platoons at the first level."

Zhou Cheng’s adaptation plan sounds complicated, but it is not difficult to implement.

The four garrisons and regiment main force were all in Jinzhong City, and each unit trained a large number of gunners in their daily training and combat.

After receiving the adaptation order, all they need to do is to split the artillery company into mortars and platoons to the main battalions, and just extract some mountain artillery and infantry artillery sent by the gunners and regiment headquarters to form a new mountain artillery company and infantry artillery company...

As long as the artillery is in place on time, the troops can be adapted in one night.

After a few days of adaptive training and familiarize yourself with the new equipment in your hands, they can go to the battlefield!

At seven o'clock in the morning, Tang Yufeng led the baggage battalion directly under the regiment headquarters to Jinzhong County first.

When he entered the city, he went straight to the command of the National Salvation Army to find Zhou Cheng.

On the way to the marching, he received the news that the regiment commander promised to defend Jinzhong County in the war zone. His first reaction was the same as Chen Zhengyu, and he felt that the regiment commander was crazy.

I wish I could fly to Zhou Cheng immediately to ask clearly.

But at that time he was rushing with the baggage camp and had no time to send telegrams, so he could only endure it all the way until now.

The original Japanese wing command had become the front command of the National Salvation Army. When Tang Yufeng rushed in, Zhou Cheng was studying the Jinzhong City defense map seized from the Japanese army, intending to continue to add fortifications on the existing basis and build the Jinzhong County into a real military fortress.

Tang Yufeng couldn't care about so much. In his eyes, the commander's order to defend Jinzhong County in the war zone was tantamount to making jokes about the lives of thousands of soldiers. This was something he absolutely could not tolerate. Even if the commander had made up his mind to find a way to change his mind.

When he rushed into the war room, he spoke frankly and asked: "Captain, why did you agree to the conditions proposed by the war zone to us? This is obviously a conspiracy to weaken our strength in the war zone. Did you promise not to take the National Savior Army to jump into the trap in the future?"

When Chen Zhengyu heard Tang Yufeng's words, he knew that he was like himself and was in a dead end when facing this problem.

He quickly ran over to stop Tang Yufeng from continuing: "Defend Commander, don't worry, the commander must have a reason for doing this!"

"Old Tang, please calm down first. I will explain to you why the leader of the group did this now!"

Five minutes after being pulled to the side by Chen Zhengyu, the anger on Tang Yufeng's face began to dissipate. Ten minutes later, he became excited and stared at Chen Zhengyu with anticipation on his face, asking: "Old Chen, are you sure this method is really feasible?"

"Very feasible!" Chen Zhengyu answered firmly.

"I have studied the entire combat plan seriously. If we fight according to the method of the regiment commander's statement, although the defending troops will pay a huge price in the city, the price paid by the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely be several times higher than ours."

"And we can also paralyze the Japanese and puppet troops through this battle, making the Japanese and puppet troops feel that they have wiped out all the troops we defended the county town, severely damaged the national rescue army, and then despise us in the next sweep."

"In fact, our city guards were not destroyed by them. At least half of the troops could break out from the tunnel. After replenishing a certain number of supplementary troops, 70% or 80% of the combat effectiveness before the war can be restored in a few days."

"In the next sweep, as long as we find a way to seize one or two fighter jets and draw troops from Jinzhong County to participate in the battle, we will definitely be able to pull out our teeth, tear off two pieces of fat from the Japanese and puppet troops, and in turn will severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops."

After listening to Chen Zhengyu's analysis, Tang Yufeng also became expectant.

Seeing that Zhou Cheng was taking his gaze from the city defense map, Tang Yufeng quickly seized the opportunity and asked: "Captain, how do you plan to fight street battles with the Japanese?"

"Empty the city wall first!" Zhou Cheng pointed to the city defense map and expressed his thoughts.

"The city walls of Jinzhong County are very thick, and there is a layer of stones and a wall outside. They are very strong. Unless the Japanese use heavy artillery, ordinary shells will blow up at most a small hole, which will not hurt the main body of the city wall."

"If we dig dozens of machine gun castles in the city wall and suddenly fire after the Japanese approached, it would definitely cause huge damage to the Japanese and puppet troops."

"When the Japanese and puppet troops realize the danger and want to dispatch planes and heavy artillery to destroy the castle, we just need to give up the city wall fortifications and retreat to the city."

After hearing this, Chen Zhengyu showed an expression of agreement: "I agree to dig a machine gun castle in the city wall."

"The troops hid in the castle to attack the enemy. As long as the heavy artillery and planes of the Japanese and puppet troops did not stare at our castle bombing, there would be no casualties in the troops guarding the city."

"Each city wall has built twenty or thirty machine gun castles. Each machine gun castle has a light and heavy machine gun, which will bring the Japanese and puppet troops closer to attack. One city wall can definitely kill two or three hundred Japanese and puppet troops. The four city walls add up to more than one thousand Japanese and puppet troops. You can definitely beat the Japanese and puppet troops and knock them out their sharpness!"

Tang Yufeng nodded repeatedly when he heard this, looking at Zhou Cheng and continued to ask: "Where is the city? I heard Lao Chen say that you plan to fight street battles with the Japanese and his troops have almost no experience in street battles. Will there be problems with such a large-scale street battle with the Japanese and puppet troops at once?"

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Old Tang, don't worry. Although our troops do not have experience in street fighting, they have rich experience in street fighting and guerrilla warfare. In my opinion, street fighting has many similarities with mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. As long as we arrange the battlefield and allow the soldiers to adapt to the city for two days and be fully familiar with their own battlefield, we will definitely be able to use street fighting to severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops."

"After it gets dark, Lao Tang, you are responsible for transfer and confiscation, but before it gets dark, you are also responsible for mobilizing the people in the city to evacuate the county town. Because this is not a defense zone, I specially asked the Chief of Staff to prepare a hundred thousand oceans to compensate the people in the city and let them cooperate with us to evacuate the county town of Jinzhong."

"Chief of Staff, you and I will set up a battlefield in the city. You are responsible for digging a castle in the city wall. I will set up street fighting fortifications in the city!"

"Wengbu..." Just as several people were about to take action separately, the roar of the plane that Zhou Cheng had been waiting for a long time finally rang over the county town.

As soon as the Japanese drove three bombers to Jinzhong County, they saw black smoke shrouding over the arsenal.

"Bageya Road, the National Salvation Army is too cunning. It actually wants to stop us from bombing the ammunition and arsenal by releasing black smoke!" A pilot cursed when he saw the black smoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, another pilot cursed from the radio station: "Sir, the area of ​​black smoke is too large, more than 100 meters high. If we want the aviation bomb to accurately hit the arsenal, we must mount the aircraft to pass through the black smoke for ultra-low-altitude bombing. If the National Salvation Army has arranged an air defense fire network around the arsenal, our bombing operation will definitely be very dangerous."

The team leader did not answer the conversation immediately, and observed the black smoke ahead while flying the plane.

Faced with this sudden accident, his first thought was exactly the same as his subordinates.

The National Salvation Army wanted to block the pilot's vision by releasing black smoke, so that the aircraft could not accurately bomb the arsenal, and thus preserve the weapons and ammunition in the arsenal.

After having this idea, he immediately recognized that the arsenal shrouded in black smoke in front was the target he was going to bomb today.

As for how to complete the task and completely destroy the arsenal shrouded in black smoke, he was not as pessimistic as his subordinates.

After driving the bomber to circle the black smoke for two times, he gradually had an idea in his mind and shouted a loud command to the radio: "Although the black smoke blocked our view, the target we were going to bomb was the arsenal, which contained a large amount of weapons, ammunition and gunpowder. As long as a bomb hit the target, the ammunition and gunpowder in the arsenal would explode, and the entire arsenal would be razed to the ground."

A subordinate immediately responded: "Sir, wise, our three bombers carried a total of 18 50-kilogram aviation bombs. In the words of the Chinese, a blind cat can hit the arsenal even if it hits a dead mouse!"

"Bizhi begs to be the first to attack the ground and test whether the National Salvation Army has arranged an air defense firepower network around the arsenal!"

The captain was very satisfied with the compliments from his subordinates and immediately ordered: "Then you will attack the arsenal first, let's cover it, and first find out whether the National Salvation Army has deployed air defense firepower around the target!"

"Boom..."

The roar of the plane suddenly became louder, and a bomber dived towards the ground as if it had lost power, and the speed became faster and faster.

When there were three or four hundred meters away from the ground, the pilot's heart suddenly rose to his throat, staring at the arsenal that was getting closer and closer on the ground.

This height has reached the effective range of heavy machine guns to air shooting.

If the National Salvation Army has set up air defense positions around, there will definitely be a large number of heavy machine guns aimed at it at this moment. After diving to a lower airspace, it suddenly fires, and uses a fire net to drive the plane into a sieve!

"Boom..."

In order to force out the possible anti-aircraft fire net on the ground, the pilot gritted his teeth and flew the bomber to continue diving towards the arsenal.

As the black smoke was approaching the arsenal, a large number of machine gun fires suddenly appeared on the ground, and dense rain of bullets hit the plane he was in.

Even though he was wearing headphones, his ears were filled with the loud roar of the engine and howling through the air, the metal impact caused by the bullet hitting the plane was clearly transmitted to his ears.

The pilot reacted very quickly.

According to the command given to him by the captain just now, he forced out the air defense firepower network of the National Rescue Army. More than half of his mission was to escape from the local air defense firepower network and drop the aviation bomb hanging on the belly of the aircraft to the ammunition depot.

Pull the plane's joystick decisively, fly the plane to climb towards higher airspace, and press the bomb drop button.

Two aviation bombs instantly broke away from the bomber's restraint and flew towards the ammunition depot along the dive trajectory of the plane's just now...

After missing two bombs, the weight of the bomber instantly became lighter, and the climbing speed suddenly increased, just like a rocket, rushing toward the sky with a whoosh...

Compared with ordinary aircraft, bombers are much thicker in skin and flesh.

Although fifty or sixty bullets of different caliber were hit by the wings, the bomber was still intact and climbed quickly to safe airspace.

"Yoxi, there is a national defense position on the ground, and there is also thick smoke blocking our view, which means that the warehouse under the thick smoke is our bombing target today!" Looking at the air defense firepower network suddenly emerging from the ground, the Japanese team leader made a judgment confidently.

Then he started to give an order to the radio: "Three aircraft took turns to bomb the area covered with thick smoke. We must razed all the targets to the ground and start attacking now!"

After saying that, the captain drove the bomber to dive into the smoke-covered area...

"Boom...boom..."

A violent explosion sounded quickly in the warehouse area. After six consecutive aviation bombs exploded, a more violent explosion suddenly sounded on the ground.

The fireball that soared into the air was twenty or thirty meters high, and the rolling black smoke soared into the sky. You can tell at a glance what was caused by the explosion.

"Yoxi, the ammunition depot was detonated by the bomb we dropped!" The captain saw it, enjoyed it in his heart, and shouted with excitement.

"The explosion just now would definitely not be able to explode without a few hundred kilograms of gunpowder. It must be that the gunpowder in the arsenal was hit by the bomb and exploded... We will continue to drop bombs and will definitely razed the target to the ground!"

Ten minutes later, all eighteen aviation bombs landed in the warehouse and exploded.

As for the death explosion that the Japanese squadron leader saw, it was a movement caused by Zhou Cheng who asked the guard battalion to deliberately detonate 300 kilograms of explosives. The purpose was to make the Japanese feel that they had razed the arsenal to the ground and that the National Rescue Army had no gains in Jinzhong City...

Zhou Cheng's goal has been achieved...

Not only did the three bombers put all the aviation bombs into the warehouse area, but the intelligence personnel hiding in Jinzhong City also heard the sound of 300 kilograms of explosives.

The orange-red fireballs and the rolling smoke that soared into the sky were too scary, and intelligence personnel also felt that the ammunition in the ammunition depot was detonated by an aviation bomb.

When the bomber flew back to the plane, Japanese intelligence personnel had already sent the news that the ammunition depot was destroyed to the Japanese military headquarters.
