Li Yunlong was not idle in the command center. Just now, he saw through the binoculars that the soldiers of the Second Battalion were falling one after another. The excavation almost stopped, and he frowned.
Even Kong Jie knew that this battle was a turning point, so how could Li Yunlong dare to neglect it?
Just like Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, if he couldn't defeat others, he would ask for help! He called the commander of the 129th Division, Liu Bocheng.
The two of them had known each other since the Soviet era, so there was no need to talk nonsense.
"Old Chief, the battle at Li Jiapo is very intense. Lend me the artillery that you have at the back of your hand, and I'll pay you back double in the future!”
The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army only had 6 cannons.
A captured Type 92 Japanese Infantry Cannon.
The two Jin 14th Year Type 88 Field Cannons that Yan Xishan had sent over.
Three cannons made by the Munitions Factory.
The firepower of the artillery directly under the division was not even comparable to that of a Japanese infantry regiment. A Japanese infantry regiment had at least 12 large-caliber artillery, not to mention the artillery regiment, which had at least 45 large-caliber field artillery!
The 8th Route Army had few cannons, and the artillery shells were also precious. Every artillery shell, unless it was a critical battle, the commanders were reluctant to use it.
Li Yunlong knew this, so he was willing to sacrifice his face and beg the former general for help.
Commander Liu knew that the Japanese army was about to complete the encirclement and the situation of the Eighth Route Army was very dangerous. He gritted his teeth and said,"Good! Li Yunlong! Today, I'll fire all the cannonballs in Division 129! If we still can't take down Li Jiapo, we'll see you in hell!”
"Yes!"
Li Yunlong hung up the phone with a click. The pressure on his shoulders did not decrease at all. Instead, it increased!
From Commander Liu's tone, this battle was going to end quickly!
At this moment, the soldiers from the 2nd Battalion came over and asked the command center if they wanted someone else to replace the 2nd Battalion in digging.
Li Yunlong's anger flared up immediately. It was not easy to get artillery support from the division headquarters, but the second battalion was up to no good again.
"Bullshit! Who said that! Fake military orders, I'll shoot him!”
"It's a soldier called Zhou Lin. He told us to take care of our wounded brothers and leave the digging of the tunnel to him.”
"Zhou…Lin?"
Li Yun Long recalled such a person in his memory. He picked up the binoculars hanging around his neck and looked at the original position of the Second Battalion.
He thought to himself that if this recruit Zhou Lin dared to delay the battle that would decide the life and death of the 8th Route Army, he would be shot immediately!
However, through the binoculars, he saw that the originally slow excavation had now been dug to more than 30 meters by Zhou Lin. He was still digging at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Oh my god, this kid is the local god, right? Why did he dig so fast! Aiyaya, such a big rock, yet you can just dig it up and shatter it…"
Li Yunlong's words echoed in the command center. After Political Commissar Zhao Gang heard it, he also picked up his binoculars to take a look. He was immediately shocked!
"This isn't scientific. It completely violates the laws of mechanics! This soldier called Zhou Lin had almost completed the workload of a company. This…this had to be introduced to the Chinese Party!”
Kong Jieguang was armed, but he did not bring binoculars. Hearing such a bizarre statement, he could not help but feel an itch in his heart. He begged Li Yunlong to show him what was going on.
"Go, go, go. What are you looking at?”
Dong---
From more than ten kilometers away, the muffled sound of the Type-88 Field Cannon could be heard.
A cannonball landed near the Yamazaki Battalion.
After hearing this familiar voice, Li Yunlong said to Kong Jie,""This is the division's artillery unit testing the landing point. Since the tunnel is almost done, Kong Jie, you should be familiar with the general's background.”
"Dele, just watch."
Kong Jie carried Ghost Head Blade on his back and went to find the 1st Battalion.
Blind Cheng, who was not far away, heard this and began to complain to his subordinates.
"Look, look, how biased is this headquarters? The cannon, which was usually as precious as gold, was also brought out. Li Yunlong was very proud of himself! If you had helped me earlier, I would have taken down that bastard Yamazaki a long time ago!”
In fact, Cheng Kang and his subordinates also knew that attacking Yamazaki was not a matter of a few cannons, but they were still not convinced.
"Regiment commander, look, the Independent Regiment's tunnel work is almost complete!”
"Nonsense! He was clearly…Ah? Damn it! Did these tens of meters of tunnels fall from the sky? It wasn't there just now!"
Blind Cheng's expression immediately became awkward. He muttered to himself,"Is God forcing me to call Li Yunlong grandpa?! Sigh! How embarrassing!"
Less than five minutes later, the artillery battalion of the 129th Division began to fire.
Dong dong dong…
Bang bang…
The foundation of the 129th Division was too weak. The artillery fire stopped in less than 15 minutes.
Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao led the 1st Battalion to the edge of the tunnel that Zhou Lin had dug when the bombardment started. They jumped in and quietly approached the hillside of the Yamazaki Battalion.
Li Jiapo's Yamazaki unit was in a mess at the beginning of the bombardment, but it didn't take long for them to recover.
After the bombardment stopped, Yamazaki dusted himself off and counted the remaining people.
After being attacked for eight hours, the 500-strong army was now left with 400 people!
Seeing this, he could not help but laugh out loud.
"This kind of artillery support should be the 8th Route Army's trump card, right? They don't even have 200 shells. How shabby. Our third-rate garrison troops are better equipped than the Eighth Route Army. I really want to show the country bumpkins in the Eighth Route Army headquarters our Hiroshima arsenal and our Nagasaki Navy. Hahaha, the Eighth Route Army is a motley crew. Today is your last day!”
While Yamazaki Haruhira was feeling smug, he did not notice that the ground 30 meters below the slope was " squirming " due to his limited vision.
The assault team of Shen Quan's 2nd Battalion, Kong Jie, and the soldiers of the 1st Battalion had brought their own equipment and were already approaching the foot of the Yamazaki Battalion.
Zhang Dabiao, the 1st Battalion Commander, rarely submitted to others. Today, he was completely convinced by Zhou Lin.
"Brother, your construction work is at the level of a carpenter. It's too f * cking amazing. Don't work in the cavalry company. Come to my company.”
Zhou Lin shook his head.
"I'm a man who lashes horses, I won't go to your 1st Battalion.”
