Chapter 428: Demand that the Japanese send out 100 million dollars and kilograms of grain, or we wi
Under the cover of the air fighter squadron, Shen Quan successfully withdrew from Anjiaji, turned back and launched an assault on the Japanese reinforcements. Using the mobility and firepower of the armored forces, he quickly broke into the large forces of the Japanese and puppet troops and began to infiltrate, divide and encircle them.
The 1st Motorized Infantry Battalion, led by Battalion Commander Zhang Dashan, followed the footsteps of the 2nd Armored Battalion and used its fierce firepower to fight back the two consecutive counterattacks of the Japanese and puppet troops. The puppet troops could not bear the huge losses and began to collapse first, which caused a great impact on the Japanese who served as the supervisory team in the rear. A squad of Japanese supervisory team used their fierce firepower to force the puppet troops to counterattack.
This forced the puppet army, which had been forced into a desperate situation, to launch a counterattack against the Japanese supervisory team, directly using the advantage in numbers to completely overwhelm the Japanese supervisory team. The Songyuan Squadron was defeated like a mountain, and could not stop the puppet army's retreat. They could only follow the puppet army to retreat towards Ping'an County, dropping a large amount of weapons and ammunition along the way.
"Damn it! I never thought that the Japanese and puppet troops were so weak. The battle ended in less than 20 minutes, and we even captured six Japanese prisoners. This battle was so damn satisfying!"
"Shen Quan, have the brothers turn back and continue to attack Anjiaji. No matter how much it costs, we must take down this tough nut of Anjiaji tomorrow. Anjiaji is the base of Yamamoto's special forces. After destroying it, even if Yamamoto Ikki wants to rebuild it, it will take a lot of time. This is more beneficial to us!"
Under Li Yunlong's order, the troops turned their guns again and launched a fierce attack on Anjiaji. The dive bomber squadron, which had just entered the battlefield, made great contributions this time. The nine 100-kilogram bombs it carried destroyed all the solid fortifications of Anjiaji.
"Shen Quan, don't just stand there, send the armored troops to me quickly. This time, let the tanks take the lead, the armored vehicles follow behind, and the infantry will be responsible for protecting the safety of the armored troops. You must break into Anjiaji within an hour."
Shen Quan did not dare to be vague at this time. He immediately launched an assault with the 2nd Armored Battalion. The two tank companies acted as the main force of the assault. According to Shen Quan's orders, they shot while moving, not caring about the accuracy of the shooting at all, trying to interfere with the Japanese's defense in this way, and at the same time causing great psychological pressure on the Japanese.
"Tell the first and second tank companies not to save their shells and hit us hard. The regiment commander has given us a death order to reach Anjiaji within an hour. If you dare to drag your feet at this time, I will be the first to kill you!"
"Sanwazi, why are you still saving your damn shells? Hurry up and bombard them hard to destroy the enemy's fortifications and cover my Second Armored Battalion to occupy the enemy's positions!"
Sanwazi listened to the shouting and cursing on the intercom and gave an order without hesitation: "Use all the heavy mortars in our hands immediately to bombard the enemy's Anjiaji position. Don't save shells. First use half of the base ammunition to see the effect. If it is not enough, we will double the amount. Even if we use up all the shells we brought, we must ensure that the Second Armored Battalion can capture Anjiaji!"
Under Sanwazi's command, the soldiers of the artillery battalion concentrated all their heavy mortars and began to carry out covering bombardment on the outer positions of Anjiaji, and they stopped only after they had used up a basic amount of ammunition.
Li Yunlong cursed, "Sanwazi, you son of a bitch, you don't know how to save shells when firing. Shells are not blown by the wind, but we have spent a lot of effort to produce them. You are so generous now, you just use up one base of ammunition for artillery support. When we came here this time, we brought a total of three bases of heavy mortar shells, and you have already used up two bases. If Shen Quan hadn't entered Anjiaji, I think you really wanted to use up all the shells for me!"
"Fighting a small battle like Anjiaji, you are so crazy, you are not going to give up. If we are not all mechanized troops, it would be easier to retreat, and we have fighter planes to cover us in the air, I will definitely teach you a lesson today!"
Li Yunlong scolded Sanwazi, and after his anger subsided, he gave him a serious reminder: "Sanwazi, you should be smarter in the future. You can't fight recklessly. You still have a lot to learn. Our heavy mortars are indeed very powerful, but the barrel can only fire 30 rounds at most before it has to be scrapped."
"Today you almost destroyed all my heavy mortars. It's understandable if this happens once, but if it happens again, don't blame me for punishing you!"
The reason why Li Yunlong was not too angry this time was mainly because he wanted to test the maximum firing rate of the gun barrel. In future battles with the Japanese, the firing rate and lethality of the artillery shells must be known in advance. This is why he did not stop Sanwaizi's fierce artillery fire. There was a calculation involved.
"Third kid, I saw that you were very accurate in training before, but once you got to the battlefield, your accuracy was much worse. This time I promise you can fight with all your might, so you have to train your artillerymen for me. If you fight like this again next time, don't blame me for punishing you!"
Sanwazi patted his chest and assured: "Captain, these brothers under my command have never participated in many actual combats. Some of them are even shooting in actual combat for the first time. They are inevitably nervous. In addition, there are various factors on the battlefield, so they are not as good as when they were shooting training bullets."
"When I came here, the college students specifically told me to use up all the shells I brought, to stun the enemy with the most ferocious firepower, and to record some data to provide reference for the improvement of the artillery. When I was firing just now, I was too excited and didn't notice the consumption of shells. Next time, I will pay attention to it."
While the two were talking, the Second Armored Battalion was clearing out the Japanese and puppet troops in Anjiaji. Half an hour later, the battle was successfully ended and the entire Anjiaji fell into the hands of the Independent Regiment.
"Captain, we have captured a total of 22 Japanese and 682 puppet soldiers, and seized 13 Type 829 rifles, two Turtle Boxes, 80 Liao-60 rifles, six light and heavy machine guns, more than rounds of ammunition, two grenade launchers, one Type infantry gun, two mm mortars, more than shells, more than kilograms of food, and some other military supplies. The harvest is not rich."
"Fortunately, we achieved remarkable results this time, killing 421 Japanese soldiers and 1827 puppet soldiers, and making the Japanese soldiers in Ping'an County dare not come out to reinforce. I think we can take this opportunity to bombard Ping'an County, let the Japanese soldiers see how powerful we are, make them miss us every day, and at the same time let them remember it well."
Li Yunlong thought about it and felt that Shen Quan's questions were not bad. In addition, he had this idea before, but he originally planned to do a small thing. Now he has changed his mind and decided to teach the Japanese a lesson and let them see the true strength of the independent regiment.
"Sanwazi, your artillery battalion will take the lead from now on. Use up all the heavy artillery shells we brought and hit the walls of Ping'an County hard. Send someone to deliver a letter demanding that the Japanese hand over 100 kilograms of grain and million dollars, and we will stop the shelling."
"This time, I'm going to play a psychological game with the devils, so that the devils in Ping'an County will tremble in fear when they hear my name, Li Yunlong!"
Li Yunlong called a puppet army prisoner and told him to go back to Ping'an County. He originally planned to release one of the Japanese soldiers, but later thought that the price was too high and gave up the idea.
Colonel Kuroki and others who were in the underground command center of Ping'an County soon learned of Li Yunlong's conditions. Everyone was very angry, but no one took the initiative to speak up and object. Everyone looked at each other and saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes. The firepower gap between the two sides was too big, and they had no confidence in defending Ping'an County.
"Mr. Mitsui, Li Yunlong is still waiting outside the city, so you still need to make the decision on this matter. After all, Chief of Staff Mitsui is your uncle. With his protection, you can be safe and sound, and you can completely suppress this matter. But if it were someone else like us, this matter would most likely be exposed, and then none of us would be able to escape punishment!" Ichiro Nakamura said with some shirking of responsibility.
Hirata Kojiro regretted not leaving with Yamamoto Ikki. Now he was stuck in Ping'an County. Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't get past the hurdle of face. His last escape had already brought a lot of negative effects on his image. His uncle even called and scolded him. He didn't know that the impact of the last Ping'an County being breached would be so great.
If Mitsui Ippei had not suppressed the matter, all of them would have been severely punished. After all, someone had reported the matter to the headquarters. Fortunately, the army and navy were not dealing with each other during this period, so they managed to get away with it safely.
"Bagayalu! Nakamura-kun, how can you have such an idea? Don't you even care about the honor of your family? Even if we are caught by Li Yunlong, we must not compromise with him, otherwise it will bring shame to our family! We must not agree to Li Yunlong's conditions. Once we agree, it will make our superiors lose the courage to fight Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong will become our nightmare. I don't know what you think in your heart, anyway, I will not compromise this time, even if I have to gamble everything, I will never give in!"
