As the order from the Japanese military headquarters was issued.
Japs from all walks of life began to move out one after another.
Japs from Shouyang, Yangquan, Jingxing counties and various mobile columns were dispatched one after another.
The brigade headquarters was not idle and ordered the road-breaking teams to start destroying the railway.
More than a dozen guerrilla groups destroyed the railway at different locations on the Zhengtai Railway.
Explode the rails to blow up the rails, destroy the roadbed to destroy the roadbed.
In fact, the best way is to blow up the railway bridges, but the railway bridges are guarded by Japanese troops, and the guerrillas' combat effectiveness is still somewhat inferior.
Just ensure that the Japanese engineers cannot repair the railway and open it to traffic in a short period of time.
In Dragon King Tu, the battle quickly came to an end.
Although this Japs brigade was not weak in combat effectiveness, it was pinned to the ground and rubbed in front of the second and third battalions of the new regiment with strong firepower.
The individual quality of the new regiment's soldiers was no worse than that of the Japanese, and their strength and firepower were several times that of the Japanese. The battle was one-sided from the beginning.
In fact, Japanese captain Yusuke Koike knew he was in big trouble when the heavy armored train was destroyed.
However, Koike Yusuke knows very well that as a warrior of the empire, he must fight to the end, because if he loses ammunition and supplies, he will die even if he breaks out.
Seeing most of his men dead and injured in the train command car, Koike Yusuke was angry and frightened.
If this continues, the battle will be over completely if it can't last for five minutes at most, and the Koike brigade will be completely annihilated by all eight forces.
"Hurry up and turn on the radio." Yusuke Koike quickly said to the communications soldier.
"Hi!" The communications soldier on the side immediately turned on the radio communication machine and adjusted the channel and wavelength.
Koike Yusuke quickly picked up the receiver of the radio communication machine, and then called very fast:
"I'm Xiaochi, calling the headquarters. I'm Xiaochi, calling the headquarters."
Not long after, a voice came from the receiver: "Koike-kun, this is Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi. How is the situation there?"
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff!" Koike said urgently, "Most of our troops suffered casualties. Please give me tactical guidance. Please give me tactical guidance!"
"Nani?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi sounded shocked and cursed angrily, "Can't you even hold on for half an hour?"
"The firepower of the Eighth Route Army was so intense that my soldiers didn't even have cover. Many soldiers were shot as soon as they jumped off the train." Yusuke Koike said: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the ammunition and supplies cannot be saved. Please blow up the ammunition and supplies." !”
"Baga!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi said hurriedly, "You can't blow up the supplies. Your troops will break out immediately. The reinforcements are already rushing there. After the troops and the reinforcements join together, we can take back the ammunition and supplies from the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hi!" Koike Yusuke said suddenly, and then handed the receiver and microphone to the communications soldier.
"Send the order, immediately break out from the weak point of the eight-pronged attack!"
As Koike Yusuke's order was issued, the Japanese who had not yet come out of the train jumped out of the train with rifles in hand.
Then, under the leadership of Koike Yusuke, he launched a desperate charge towards the soil slope on the right.
Whether they can fight out or not depends on this trembling.
Unfortunately, under the intensive firepower of more than 60 light machine guns, more than 60 rifles, and hundreds of semi-automatic rifles, all the Japanese fell on the road to charge.
This is no longer a battle, it can only be regarded as a one-sided massacre.
Seeing the last Japanese guy being knocked to the ground, Li Yunlong's face looked like he had made a fortune.
"Second Battalion Commander!" Li Yunlong turned around and shouted.
Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu rushed over and said, "Captain?"
Li Yunlong said: "Clean the battlefield quickly to ensure that not a single Japanese is left alive."
There must be no mistakes at this time. As long as a Japanese soldier throws a grenade into the carriage, it may cause irreparable losses.
"Yes!" Zheng Yu straightened up, turned around and shouted, "Clean the battlefield, hurry up, kill all the injured little devils!"
The soldiers raised their rifles and shot at the corpses of the Japanese from a distance.
With more people and greater strength, the battlefield on this side was cleared in less than 3 minutes.
"Captain, the battlefield over our 3rd Battalion has also been cleaned."
Xu Yonghai, commander of the third battalion, came to report in person.
"Communications Corps." Li Yunlong turned around and shouted, "Where are the Communications Corps?"
A communications soldier carrying a rifle hurried over and straightened up: "Captain!"
Li Yunlong inserted his pistol into the holster of the armed belt on his waist: "Go and urge the troops transporting ammunition and supplies. This battle has been over for several minutes. The civilians, militiamen and logistics transport teams have not arrived yet. What tricks are you trying to do?"
"Yes!" The communications soldier quickly turned around, got on his horse, and whipped his horse towards the rear.
Although the robbery of the Japanese army was successful and all the Japanese ammunition and supplies were taken, only by transporting all the ammunition and supplies back can one truly make a fortune.
In less than five minutes, the political commissars of each regiment arrived with a huge transport team.
Li Yunlong also joined Zhao Gang.
"Old Zhao, why are you here?"
Li Yunlong immediately scolded.
"It's not that we came slowly, it's that you moved too fast at the front. A large group of Japanese soldiers were wiped out so quickly."
Zhao Gang glanced at the military column behind Li Yunlong and smiled slightly.
He knew this guy's character. With such a big piece of fat half in his mouth, he must be very anxious.
At that moment, Zhao Gang turned around and shouted: "Give me my order, everyone, move quickly. The Japanese reinforcements are coming here. We have to hurry up."
With bright smiles on their faces, the militiamen and civilians swarmed towards the Japanese army.
One after another they climbed onto the Japanese military column and began to unload the goods.
…
Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Koike Brigade escorting supplies has lost contact with the headquarters."
Kusuyama Hideyoshi reports to Shinozuka Yoshio.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who was staring at the map with his hands behind his back, turned around, his brows furrowed and his expression ugly.
The fact that the military column was robbed by eight groups was not the most terrifying thing. What frightened him the most was that he still didn't know what the problem was.
If the source of the problem cannot be figured out, the Zhengtai Railway will no longer be able to transport ammunition and supplies.
Kusuyama Hideyoshi continued: "Ten minutes ago, I ordered Yusuke Koike not to blow up the military columns. Now it seems that the entire Koike brigade has been shattered."
Yoshio Shinozuka's face suddenly darkened, this was really beyond his expectation.
I never expected that the situation would develop to such a serious level.
"How long does it take for the 9th Flying Squadron to reach the military column?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.
"There are about 5 minutes left!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi replied.
"Order the 9th Flying Squadron to blow up the military columns with aerial bombs!" Yoshio Shinozuka said decisively, "The Imperial Army cannot get this batch of ammunition and supplies, and the Eighth Route Army will never get it!"
"Your Majesty Commander, we still have a chance!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi was surprised and quickly advised.
"What chance is there?" Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head and said, "There is no chance. It will be dark in half an hour. Night battles are the specialty of the Eighth Route Army. Most of the troops rushing to help can't reach them. Fighters and attacks The aircraft cannot carry out bombing at night, so the 9th flight has only this one chance to fight."
"Your Excellency, Commander, we really still have a chance." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said hurriedly, "The 13th Cavalry Regiment happened to be training in the Yaowan area in the afternoon. It was only more than 20 kilometers away from the place where the Eighth Route Army attacked the military columns. At this time, the Cavalry The 13th Regiment is heading there at full speed."
"Nani?"
Yoshio Shinozuka perked up and his eyes flashed with light: "How long will it take for the 13th Cavalry Regiment to arrive?"
"At the speed of the cavalry," Kusuyama Hideyoshi replied, "we can arrive there in 20 minutes at most!"
"Yoshi!" Yoshio Shinozuka breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, then turned around and stared at the map.
The 9th Flying Team is about to arrive and can slow down the eight-way transportation of ammunition and supplies.
Even if the 13th Cavalry Regiment couldn't defeat the Eighth Route Army, with the cavalry's quick maneuvers, the Eighth Route Army would have no way to defeat the cavalry.
The cavalry only needs to harass the Eighth Route Army's transport team transporting ammunition and supplies and hold back the Eighth Route Army.
As long as the Japanese troops arrive, they can snatch the ammunition and supplies back from the Eighth Route Army...
This wave is stable!
…
Dragon King convex.
Militiamen, civilians and transporters were unloading the goods.
Because they were afraid that Japanese planes would come and blow up the military columns.
So everyone speeded up unloading the goods, only regretting that their parents had lost their legs and feet.
However, there were so many tons of ammunition and supplies that only half of them were unloaded in 20 minutes.
Countless civilians and militiamen hurriedly carried ammunition boxes.
At this time, a buzzing sound came from the distance.
The Japanese plane has arrived!
"airplane!"
"hidden!"
"All companies and platoons gather firepower and prepare for air defense!"
Li Yunlong shouted loudly when he saw more than ten planes attacking from high places.
Following his order, the soldiers of the new regiment responded instantly, and the civilian militiamen who were transporting ammunition quickly fell to the ground.
The New Regiment, which had been guarding against the Japanese planes, had long been prepared, including machine guns, light and heavy machine guns.
However, the Japanese planes did not dare to dive and attack, nor did they dare to blow up the military columns without orders from the headquarters.
More than a dozen planes were only circling and dropping bombs at an altitude of more than a thousand meters, but at this altitude, the hit rate was impressive.
Seeing that the Japanese plane did not dare to swoop down, Zhao Gang immediately ordered the civilians and militiamen to continue transporting ammunition.
Then, a strange scene occurred.
The Japanese planes were hovering at high altitude, and the new group of anti-aircraft firepower continued to suppress them, while the militiamen and civilians continued to carry ammunition with their ammunition boxes on their backs.
…
The 13th Japanese Cavalry Regiment, led by the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nishizawa Yoshio, arrived at the flank of the Dragon King.
This is only about 3 kilometers away from the location of the Japanese army column.
The cavalry only needs one charge and can arrive in 5 minutes.
However, a large group of Eighth Route Cavalry blocked the path of the 13th Japanese Cavalry Regiment.
It is all the cavalry units of the 386th Brigade, including 600 cavalry from the New 1st Regiment Cavalry Battalion, 600 cavalry from the brigade-affiliated Cavalry Regiment, 100 cavalry from the Independent Regiment Cavalry Company, and 110 cavalry from the New 2nd Regiment Cavalry Company.
The 13th Cavalry Regiment has a total of 1,300 cavalry, while the Eighth Route Cavalry has more than 1,400 cavalry, which is more numerous than the Japanese.
Moreover, all the 386 brigade cavalry are equipped with Yunlong swords. Their equipment is better than that of the Japanese cavalry, and their number is greater than that of the Japanese cavalry.
The Japanese cavalry unit stopped 200 meters away from the Eighth Route Cavalry and took a stance. The Japanese soldiers drew their sabers and prepared to attack.
Colonel Nishizawa Yoshio, captain of the Japanese cavalry regiment, rode back and forth in front of the Japanese cavalry array, talking loudly, as if he was mobilizing before the war.
As for the Eighth Route Cavalry.
"Cavalry camp, meeting on a narrow road——"
Sun Desheng's long howl reached the ears of every cavalry soldier.
"The brave wins!"
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the new regiment suddenly raised their Yunlong knives above their heads, and the sound of response rose into the sky.
The soldiers looked crazy, their fighting spirit and bloody spirit were completely ignited!
Zhou Chunyu, the commander of the cavalry regiment directly under the 386th brigade, was more straightforward. He personally served as the flag bearer. He held the red flag with one hand and shouted loudly in front of the cavalry formation: "Cavalry regiment! Communists gather!!!"
