When Wei Shanhe appeared in Wan Jia Town with a large number of captives, even Li Yun Long, who was mentally prepared, was shocked.
Two thousand puppet soldiers and four carts of weapons and ammunition piled up slowly. It was definitely a great harvest.
It had only been two hours since Wei Shanhe left with his men.
When Li Yunlong learned that Wei Shanhe and the others had actually killed a large group of Japanese soldiers, Li Yunlong was almost stunned.
In the past, when they encountered the Japanese infantry brigade, they would not be able to resist without a regiment. Moreover, it was basically impossible for a single infantry regiment to be a match for the Japanese infantry brigade.
Li Yunlong and the others, who were well aware of the combat power of the Japanese infantry brigade, were speechless about Wei Shanhe's battle results.
Under the muzzle of an infantry platoon of the Independent Regiment, these puppet captives obediently found a shady spot and gathered together to enjoy the shade.
Wei Shanhe arrived at the front line of the attack outside Wan Clan Town.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the front line of the Independent Regiment's attack was less than 100 meters away from Wan Jia Town.
In front of the Independent Regiment were four tall turrets.
The curved trajectories of mountain cannons and mortars were not suitable for attacking the Japanese's turrets. The best method was to fire at a certain level.
In addition, the Independent Regiment was tasked with a feint mission, so they were not in a hurry to take down these four turrets.
Therefore, when Wei Shanhe returned, the four turrets were still intact in front of the Independent Regiment.
In Wan Jia Town, a large number of fortifications had been destroyed by the artillery fire. Many Japanese and puppet soldiers were hiding in the trenches to avoid the artillery fire. Not a single person could be seen in the artillery fire.
"Old Li, what's the situation now?”Wei Shanhe immediately asked when he arrived beside Li Yun Long and Kong Jie.
"That's the current situation. The artillery is firing away, and they're also doing actual combat training. As for the Japanese and puppet troops in Wan Jia Town, they don't dare to show their faces anymore.”Li Yunlong said.
"Pull the cannons over and take out these four turrets.”Wei Shanhe instructed.
"The fish has already been eaten, so the bait is useless.”Li Yunlong was also straightforward. He waved his hand and Zhang Dabiao ran over. After receiving the order, Zhang Dabiao soon sent over a dozen soldiers to the frontline with two 57mm anti-cannon.
The 57mm anti-war cannon was also a product of the Japanese, but Wei Shanhe had opened it with a big white gift bag.
Looking at the two cannons that were pushed to the front of the attack, Li Yunlong could not help but sigh,""In the past, the Japanese always bullied us because we didn't have any offensive weapons and built all kinds of turrets. Now, we have to let the Japanese see the power of our independent regiment.”
Li Yun Long was not the only one who was happy. All the soldiers and officers were looking at the two cannons with great anticipation.
In the past, when they encountered the Japanese's turrets, which one of them was not built with human lives? A turrets that could kill the Japanese from afar was definitely a blessing for every Eighth Route Army.
The aim of the cannon was very simple. He just needed to open the breech, observe the barrel, and aim the muzzle at the target.
The two towers closest to the Independent Regiment became the first targets of the attack.
The shell was pushed into the barrel, and the breech was closed. The soldiers on the side of the cannon all retreated to the back of the anti-war cannon. Then, they pulled the fuse rope of the cannon.
They were only 100 meters away from each other, and they were fixed targets. The turrets were not small targets either. The two shells hit their targets directly. In an instant, two explosions sounded almost at the same time. The two tall turrets collapsed under the explosion.
In fact, the sturdiness and stability of a turret built with bricks could not be compared to a reinforced concrete building. A single shell would directly turn it into ruins.
"Beautiful fight. Immediately take out the other two turrets.”
Without needing Wei Shanhe to speak, Li Yunlong had already shouted excitedly.
The two artillery personnel operating the two anti-war cannons also started operating the cannons again. The other two turrets were less than 200 meters away from the anti-war cannons.
At this distance, the artillery had not undergone long-term training. Only after one round hit the target, the other cannon would accurately hit the target after the second attack.
It was quite a harvest to take out the four Japanese turrets so easily. At least 50 to 60 Japanese were killed.
This caused the already weak Japanese forces in Wan Jia Town to drop to an extremely low level.
In the following battle, Wei Shanhe only treated himself as a spectator. With Li Yun Long and Kong Jie's commanding abilities and combat experience, attacking a target like Wan Jia Town was effortless.
Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, even the infantrymen did not move out. The cavalry company was sufficient, and then the infantrymen surrounded them. In less than ten minutes, the battle was over.
Most of the Imperial Association Army infantry regiment responsible for defense had become captives.
In fact, if it weren't for the Japanese, the Imperial Association Army in Wan Jia Town would have raised the white flag long ago. Under the barrage of artillery fire, the Imperial Association Army didn't even have the courage to shoot.
The result of this battle also made the traitors who were hiding behind throw away the last hope in their minds.
They quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Shanhe brought the Independent Regiment and nearly three thousand captives back to Yang Village.
A large amount of weapons and equipment were hung on all the horses of the cavalry company, and the weapons and equipment of the four large trucks were filled. For a time, even the headquarters were alarmed.
With a wave of his hand, Wei Shanhe ordered his men to send the weapons and equipment to the headquarters. They also sent a lot of canned pork and beef, as well as a large carriage of mutton and medicine.
When Boss Peng walked to the open space outside the headquarters, many documents in the headquarters were counting the equipment sent by the independent regiment.
Zuo Quan was holding a preliminary report. When he saw Boss Peng walk out, he immediately went up to him and said,"There's quite a lot of stuff. There are more than 3,000 rifles, 1,200 of them are 380-caliber rifles, and the rest are all made in Hanyang. They're all of good quality, and there are nearly 300,000 bullets. There are also four Type 92 infantry cannons and cannonballs, and more than 20 light and heavy machine guns.
Moreover, Wei Shanhe sent over a lot of canned medicine and a few freshly slaughtered goats. Our headquarters has never been so rich.”
