165: Kill Yoshio Shinozuka and fully counterattack
In order to facilitate command, Li Yunlong brought his guard platoon to the front line.
At this time, the Japanese were all squeezed together by artillery fire. In order to prevent them from escaping, Li Yunlong even dropped all the spare machine guns in the warehouse to Kong Jie and Ding Wei.
Therefore, the current positioning and Kong Jie can completely block the Japanese's retreat with superior firepower!
In addition, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment originally had mortars, and Li Yunlong mobilized several mortars.
After getting closer, the heavy artillery cooperated with the mortar and continued to bombard it after getting closer.
This close-range bombing makes the shells fall more accurately.
Whether it was breaking through or defending, the Japanese army was attacked from all directions, and the casualties were getting worse and worse.
Two hours later, the Japanese who tried to rush out for the fruits many times finally decided to give up breaking out after paying heavy casualties.
Shinozuka Yoshio Company joined the commanders of each regiment and asked them to send a signal to the 41st Division for help.
After the telegram was sent out, the troops immediately stood firm in their existing positions and waited for reinforcements to come and rescue them.
In fact, when Kong Jie and Ding Wei attacked in the back and killed his heavy artillery corps, Yoshio Shinozuka knew that he was likely to be surrounded.
As expected, now they want to survive, the only way is to wait for others to save them.
Before they can, they must persist!
However, Li Yunlong would not give them a chance to wait for reinforcements to come, he would fight quickly.
"The Japanese are trapped beasts now. Tell Ding Wei and Kong Jie that our brothers in the new regiment should concentrate all the artillery fire and bomb the enemy's most central area!"
Li Yunlong stood on the hillside and issued an order: "All the mortars will be pushed into the enemy and blow up all their periphery!"
"I'm going to tell Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and the others that if the Japanese must lose their combat effectiveness within twenty minutes, they will both have to be in jail!"
After receiving the order, Shen Quan immediately asked the gun company to adjust the muzzle of the IG18 infantry cannon and fired in full force at the most central position of the Japanese!
The remaining mortars were all transferred to the front line and tried to bombard the Japanese defense line.
Shen Quan personally came to the cannon company camp: "Brothers, smash it hard for me. The Japanese have just dug some bunkers and can't stop our shells at all. Don't be stingy with shells, throw them all on your head!"
The soldiers of the artillery company had been in full swing for a long time. They had never fired so many shells at once like this.
Before Li Yunlong took over the new regiment, if they fired a shell, it would be enough for them to blow for a month.
But since Li Yunlong came, shells and bullets are worthless!
Since it was Li Yunlong's order, they naturally would not be ruthless.
The shells were put into the barrel and then roared at the Japanese.
"Boom boom boom..."
The encirclement suddenly shone into the sky, and Yoshio Shinozuka suffered the most intense bombing since the war!
Many Japanese finally played a guaranteed trench, but just hid in it, a large caliber shell fell down and buried them all in the trench.
Some Japanese were even more miserable, their heads and half of their bodies were blown away, blood, broken fingers, and brain matter was splattered everywhere.
Yoshio Shinozuka and Kimura shivered after hiding in a simple fortification. Several times the shells exploded not far from them.
At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka had already been blown up with purple lips and black face.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Kimura beside him with a look of horror: "When will the 41st Division support arrive?"
Kimura had a bitter face: "I don't know, the communications unit has sent out several requests for help, but the support unit has not responded for a long time!"
"The Commander, there have been rumors that the commander of the 41st Division, Katsutake Tanabe and General Yoshio Iwamatsu, had close contacts. This time, I'm afraid..."
Before Kimura could finish his words, Yoshio Shinozuka understood everything.
Yoshio Iwamatsu is about to replace him as the next commander of the First Army, and now the 41st Division has not responded for a long time, so he is naturally very clear about the reason.
"It should be, Yoshio Iwamatsu, they must have hoped that I would die so that he can firmly take up the position of commander of the First Army!"
Kimura shook his head: "Commander, Li Yunlong is too despicable. How could they fight like this? They are all bombarded and the infantry does not charge!"
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, and he regretted it very much at this time!
Why did he insist on lying Tada Jun and Li Yunlong was already dead?
If this were not the case, he would at most remove the position of commander of the First Army, and how could he end up like this today?
And since we have decided to come to northwest Shanxi, why did we only bring one division? The 11th Division has no combat missions!
If there is another chance, Yoshio Shinozuka will never come to provoke Li Yunlong, even if he has to face the trial of the military court!
Forty minutes later, the fierce artillery fire on Li Yunlong's side had almost no ability to resist.
Many of them were lying on the ground and trembling constantly. They had never seen this kind of fighting style before!
Li Yunlong put down his glasses: "The Japanese are scared now and told Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan that they can charge now. As long as they are Japanese, they will not leave any one!"
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan looked for it for a long time. Now that Li Yunlong gave the order, the two immediately led the troops to charge.
"Brothers, the commander has given the order. Now is the time for us to fight back. The Japanese have killed so many of our brothers, so we will kill them!"
"Crash, kill the Japanese!"
"Avenge our dead brothers!"
Shen Quan was not vague and rushed over with a new weapon!
It seemed that they were infected by the soldiers of the New First Regiment. The soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment thought they had been injected with chicken blood, and they also wanted the Japanese to launch an attack!
"Your Excellency Commander, Li Yunlong and the others have launched a charge!"
Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned and shouted excitedly: "That's great. Li Yunlong finally stopped the artillery fire and was ready to charge. This is also a good opportunity for us to break through!"
"Notify all troops and organize a counterattack immediately!"
As soon as Yoshio Shinozuka finished speaking, a high-speed spinning bullet passed through his head with a sharp murderous intent.
Blood splattered Kimura's face.
Kimura widened his eyes and shouted in horror: "Master Commander! Master Commander!"
On the hillside a few hundred meters away, Wei Dayong put away his rifle and smiled: "I seem to kill a Japanese official! Now the regiment commander has to give me the Fenjiu he is hiding when he goes back!"
Another member of the special forces team curled his lips: "Go back to Fenjiu, the leader will definitely be furious again after he returns!"
The monk was stunned: "What! Can I punish me if I kill the Japanese commander?"
The members of the special forces laughed: "Did you forget the last time we killed the Japanese tourist group? The leader likes to cut off the heads of the Japanese official himself. If you steal the limelight this time, he will definitely be unhappy!"
Wei Dayong was stunned and thought to himself: It seems that this is true!
After losing Yoshio Shinozuka, the supreme commander, the Japanese who had no fighting spirit became even more confused.
Li Yunlong reacted quickly, seized this opportunity, and launched a full-scale counterattack. The remaining Japanese soldiers almost didn't resist like this and began to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
Chapter completed!
