The war in Yangquan area came to an end.
First, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to launch an attack, ambushing three railway transportation lines used by the Japanese army to transport military supplies to Yangquan, and simultaneously attacked the Japanese army's major forward strongholds, gun towers, and villages.
Then the old Japanese Yoshio Shinozuka used military rations, strongholds, gun towers, etc. as tempting bait, and mobilized more than two brigades to encircle the Yangquan area.
This is a relatively large-scale war between China and Japan since the disaster has become increasingly serious this year.
Huge commotion naturally swept all directions, and all forces were paying close attention to the direction of this war.
One side is the Japanese invaders who have been rampant for a long time.
On the other side is the elite Northwestern Shanxi Anti-Japanese First Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, which has become famous in the past two years.
The final result emerged as the war came to an end:
The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army successfully ambushed three railway lines transported by the Japanese army to Yangquan, intercepted more than one million kilograms of grain, and demolished a considerable number of Japanese artillery towers, strongholds, and villages.
He escaped unscathed and jumped out of the encirclement in time before the Japanese army encircled him.
As soon as this news came out, everyone was shocked.
It was originally thought that the contest between the two parties might result in a lose-lose situation for both sides. It was more likely that the independent regiment would be severely damaged by the powerful Japanese army.
But who would have thought that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army would completely defeat the Japanese invaders.
Another miracle!
For a time, the independent group became famous.
The morale of the Eighth Route Army troops in the entire Taihang and Taiyue areas has also been greatly boosted. They are really what the people want and what they hope to return.
Senior officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army of the World War II District Chief's Department.
I was also shocked by the combat effectiveness shown by the independent regiment in this battle.
At present, the disaster is spreading day by day and becoming more serious. What the people are in urgent need of is food, and what the troops are in urgent need of is food to survive the disaster.
The Jinsui military also made a lot of preparations for this, trying to find ways to hoard food, respond to disasters, stabilize the supply of the troops, and ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.
"But we are just trying to find ways to buy food and grow food. When we are desperate, we go to the countryside to collect food."
"Who dares to directly rob the Japanese's food like the Independent Group did?"
At the headquarters of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Qian Shoucai, the commander of the third battalion who inquired about the news, said with emotion after returning to the headquarters.
When Yang Chongshan, the leader of the 57th Regiment, heard the news, his admiration for the Independent Regiment and for Kong Jiezhi, the leader of the Independent Regiment, became more and more high, just like the surging river, which is endless...
Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, continued to express his official sentiments:
"By robbing food, taking out strongholds, demolishing artillery towers, and killing Japanese invaders, the Independence Regiment showed the character of a soldier and the arrogance of us Chinese. This battle was truly heart-wrenching!"
"Brother, you and I are both soldiers, but we can only watch others fight bravely on the battlefield. It's really shameful!"
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was speechless and could only remain silent.
…
…
And in another place, a stage unknown to all parties for the time being.
Li Yunlong and his tank company had been lurking near the Japanese railway transportation line to Ping'an County for more than six hours.
The distant horizon has turned fish belly white.
The soldiers used their tenacious will and super endurance to overcome all difficulties, just waiting for the opportunity of the final battle.
"Damn it, you bastard little devil. Could it be that I guessed wrong and that the devil's transport train is really not coming?"
Li Yunlong, who had been lurking until dawn, even though he was on alert at night and took a short break, still felt a little stiff, moved his shoulders a little and cursed.
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Li Yunlong can completely predict the general direction of the current ambush battle.
In the direction of Yangquan, Lao Kong led an independent regiment to ambush the Japanese railway transportation line and attack the Japanese advance stronghold.
In areas such as Ping'an County, Shouyang, Tan County, and even Taiyuan City, the Japanese army immediately made corresponding adjustments to the original railway line defense deployment.
Strongholds stationed near the railway line have deployed additional troops and heightened security.
The Japanese reconnaissance planes would hover over major railway lines from time to time to conduct reconnaissance. Once a target was discovered, the reconnaissance planes would immediately call in the Japanese bombers and fighter jets to destroy the targets.
Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to send out the main force like the independent regiment, even with the cooperation of militia and local troops, to ambush the Japanese railway lines and quickly transfer and transport the intercepted grain in a timely manner.
As for sending combat troops to lurk at night and ambush the Japanese transport trains.
Once a battle breaks out, the defenders of the Japanese strongholds and towns around them will quickly reinforce them, and then repeat their old tricks like the independent regiments. It is equally difficult to escape the Japanese encirclement in time.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Yunlong decided to lead the tank company to attack.
In Li Yunlong's words: "This time I don't care whether I get rich or not."
"Just gonna fuck him little devil."
"If you blow up the Japs' train, even half a grain of food can't be sent over by the Japs."
According to the request of the regiment leader Li Yunlong, the main combat policies issued by the tank company commander He Dahai are:
Once a battle breaks out, the tank company only has five minutes to engage the Japanese army. Once the five minutes are up, no matter how many results are achieved, it must immediately move to the prepared latent location.
Li Yunlong just wants the Japanese army to know that no matter how tight your defense is, I will still be able to blow up your train and cut off your transportation line.
Only you little devil has the Iron Bastard, and the history of unilaterally bullying our Eighth Route Army is gone forever.
Back then, Li Yunlong dared to dig someone else's infantry cannon out of the ground and take it out for a stroll to scare the little Japanese.
Now, he still dared to pull out a tank company to ambush the Japanese transport train and frighten the Japanese army.
...7 a.m.
A Japanese-style military train consisting of a locomotive and twelve carriages moved forward rapidly along this section of almost straight railway track amid a roar.
There was a faint sound.
The soldiers who had been waiting all night were trembling slightly in excitement.
"You son of a bitch, we're finally here!" Li Yunlong excitedly licked his lips that were a little chapped from not drinking any water all night.
Company Commander He Dahai immediately ordered: "Every vehicle, pay attention and be ready for battle. As soon as the explosion is over, Tanks No. 1, 2 and 3 will immediately advance from the center line, Armored Vehicles 1 and 2 will advance from the right wing, and Armored Vehicles 3 and 4 will advance from the left wing. "
"The combat time is five minutes. After emptying all ammunition within five minutes, immediately evacuate westward according to the original plan."
"Tank No. 1 received!"
"Tank 2 received!"
…
"Armored Car No. 4 received!"
After everything was ready, the soldiers each stood at their respective posts inside the tank.
The commanders stared at the speeding Japanese train in their field of vision through the rotating tank periscope.
Li Yunlong, who was rarely satisfied, was sitting on an armored vehicle, personally operating a heavy machine gun, ready to kill the little Japanese as the armored vehicle drove in at any time...
