Chapter 268: Take the Niangzi Pass under the Cannons

Walking along the way, Li Yunlong soon brought his troops to a hillside in Niangziguan.

At this time, Kong Jie, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong were all gathered behind a huge rock, and there was a hand-drawn map sent by scouts on the ground.

The content on the map is very detailed, and even the bunkers are clearly drawn.

This is mainly due to the fact that there were puppet troops in Niangzi Pass, and the underground work of the Eighth Route Army was done very well.

As long as there are Chinese people, they can instigate them to get information.

At this moment, everyone frowned. The terrain of the Madam's Pass was really harder than they thought.

Ding Wei took a deep breath and turned to look at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, how are you watching? What are you thinking?"

Li Yunlong curled his lips and snatched the cigarette butts in his hand: "It's not easy to deal with. If we want to attack, we can only launch an attack from the east gate."

"The terrain outside the door is narrow, with cliffs and steep mountains on both sides of the road. It is really easy to defend and difficult to attack! If we rush hard, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties and injuries. It is difficult to deal with, not to deal with it..."

"Then..." Kong Jie was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Yunlong and Li Yunlong.

"Old Kong, I know what you want to say, but this time there is no possibility of a roundabout attack. You can only take a frontal attack."

"As long as you capture the East Gate and finally come here, the Japanese reinforcements will not be able to pass here!"

"If possible, we can also seize the city of Guan and support Taiyuan separately!"

Zhao Gang nodded, looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Since that's the case, what are you going to do? Are the four troops siege?"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "There is the limitation of the terrain, and the troops are not easy to unfold. This time, we will still let the artillery battalions of the three regiments take the main attack position as before. Infantry serve as auxiliary!"

"Old Ding, Old Kong, Lao Zhao, you go to the army immediately and pull up all the artillery battalions of the three regiments!"

"This time, I have to shut up here and there is a rain of cannons!"

"Okay!" Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang responded and nodded one after another, then each stood up to take the order and left.

At this time, the three artillery battalion commanders led by Wang Chengzhu were already ready. They all knew that siege would have to be with their artillery.

Of course, Iwamatsu Yoshio is the important part of Niangzi Pass, and Iwamatsu Yoshio has notified him.

Therefore, in addition to notifying the garrisons in Niangzi Pass to strengthen their vigilance and defense, Iwamatsu Yoshio also mobilized 1,000 Japanese and 2,000 puppet troops from other places, and all went north to the financial master Niangzi Pass to enhance the strength of the Niangzi Pass defenders.

Now the total total force of the Japanese and puppet troops in Niangzi Pass has reached more than 5,000.

In addition to these changes, Yoshio Iwamatsu originally planned to transfer some of his troops from Shouyang to Niangzi Pass, but this battle in Taiyuan affected his whole body.

The Eighth Route Army, militia and guerrillas from other places responded one after another, and almost all carried out small-scale harassment attacks on the surrounding counties. The main purpose was to support the pace of these Japanese and make them unable to support Taiyuan.

Although Yoshio Iwamatsu was anxious, in order to maintain the overall situation, he could only give up the idea of ​​dispatching troops again and could only pin his hopes on the North China Expeditionary Forces.

At this time, the commander of the Niangziguan Guard Army was the squad leader of the 78th Infantry Regiment of the 20th Division.

When the 200,000 army was preparing to siege Taiyuan, he realized the danger and kept ordering his subordinates to strengthen their defense.

Upon climbing the city tower, he immediately stood up with a Japanese lieutenant to salute him.

Kobayashi Heng nodded and took the telescope from his hand: "How is it? Is there any movement on the Chinese side?"

The second lieutenant of the Japanese answered quickly: "Colonel, because the terrain blocked our view, the door was blocked, so we have no way to know what the enemy is preparing for, but Beizhi has been closely monitoring it. As long as the Chinese people launch an attack, they will definitely warn you as soon as possible!"

After watching with a telescope for a long time, Kobayashi Hengyi wanted to encourage his subordinates, but suddenly, a sharp and harsh whistling sound suddenly came from outside the pass.

One kilometer away, Li Yunlong was on the artillery position on the mountain road. All three regiments and all the artillery fired one after another, making waves of roars.

Hundreds of shells in the sky were dragging their long majesty, and shot towards Niangziguan like clouds and sunshine.

Kobayashi Hengyi suddenly looked up and exclaimed: "Baga, it's a cannon attack. Dodge immediately and prepare for the wind and rain cannonballs!"

After saying that, Kobayashi Hengyi immediately got into the sandbag fortification in front, and the other Japanese also lay down on the spot.

But these Japanese reacted one step further, and with the dim sky, many Japanese did not have time to hide.

The sound of rumbling shells fired, and the deafening explosion suddenly sounded, followed by a wave of land and mountains. The thick flames of smoke and dust instantly rose into the air, covering the entire Niangzi Pass.

Although these Japanese evaded in time, they still caused considerable casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops on the city.

Just after the first round of explosion, there were a lot of wounded Japanese and puppet soldiers falling from the city. These were knocked down by the explosion impact with shrapnel and gravel.

On the position, Li Yunlong frowned: "Damn, the Japanese defence is really strict, and the defense measures are so good!"

Kong Jie nodded: "Old Li, will you continue to attack the artillery fire?"

Li Yunlong nodded: "Tell Wang Chengzhu and the others that the artillery fire will continue to be fired, and continue to suppress the Japanese on the city tower!"

"In addition, let the infantry bring a mortar and push forward to the range and fire immediately, so as not to give the Japanese a chance to breathe."

"Today, I'm going to choke these Japanese devils to death in the artillery fire!"

Kong Jie nodded and turned around and left.

Soon, the shouts of killing sounded, and the infantry of the New First Regiment rushed towards Niangziguan at a sprint speed under the leadership of Zhang Dabiao and three battalion commanders.

Seeing this, Kobayashi Hengyi, who was hiding under the sandbag, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "The infantry rushed up, which means that the artillery shells from the Eighth Route Army are almost used!"

"Order, as long as the artillery fire of the Eighth Route stops, counterattack immediately!"

"Hayi!" The second lieutenant of the Japanese agreed immediately.

However, until Zhang Dabiao and others reached the range of the mortar, the artillery fire on Li Yunlong's side did not stop.

On the contrary, with the addition of mortars, the firepower became even stronger.

Kobayashi Hengshi widened his eyes and said in surprise: "How could this happen? So many shells came from the Eighth Route Army!"

The second lieutenant of the Japanese was stunned, and Shunjiang thought of something: "Children, there is probably only Li Yunlong's troops in the Chinese army that can have such fierce artillery fire!"

"Nani?" Kobayashi Hengichi was shocked again and said in disbelief: "Although the 41st and 37th Divisions did not attack Ping'an County, they should have caused considerable losses to them!"

"How could they come?"

Just as Kobayashi Hengyi spoke, a shell exploded in front of him, and the explosion of air waves instantly lifted him out.

At the same time, soldiers of the Independence Regiment also joined the battlefield.

"Battleman Commander Zhang, the regiment commander asked us to come and help you! You will continue to fire the guns and suppress the Japanese, and leave the city gate to us!"

"Okay!" Zhang Dabiao responded and roared: "Brothers, continue firing the cannons. The mortars are suppressed with guns, so that the Japanese will not have the chance to poke their heads out!"

"Yes!" everyone roared.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Independence Regiment also set up rocket launchers, and the target was the gate of Niangziguan.

"Swoosh!swoosh!swoosh!"

Rockets dragged long tail smoke, and rushed towards the city gate with a fierce murderous intent like lightning.

After the violent explosion, a huge gap was opened to the gate of the Madam's locked city."

The moment the gap appeared, Zhang Dabiao immediately stood up and yelled: "Brother, rush in and kill all the Japanese and traitors inside!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The roar was accompanied by the charge and the shouts of the soldiers. Xiao Lin Hengyi on the city tower closed his eyes. He knew that the moment the city gate was broken, the lady's gate was lost!

Opening his eyes, Kobayashi Hengichi roared: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor, Long live the Empire!" Then he picked up his weapon and stood up suddenly.

That is, the moment he stood up, a series of bullets quickly passed through his body and drove him into honeycomb coal.
