With the elimination of the devil's armored train, the battle at Niangzi Pass has come to an end.

And the armored trains that came from the two directions of Yangquan and Jingcheng would not come so quickly, so Li Yunlong and Wang Yan returned to the observation post on the top of Mianshan Mountain.

The observation post on the top of Mianshan Mountain has a wide field of vision, which is convenient for observation.

Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the eastern foot of Mianshan, the freight train lying on the railroad tracks is like a big earthworm, and the open carriages are like the torn body of an earthworm.

The people who are coming in and out of the carriage are like ants.

Over time, the earthworms are gradually hollowed out by ants.

In this sortie, the independent regiment mobilized more than 30,000 people!

In addition to the people, the independent regiment itself has more than 3,000 soldiers and more than 800 military horses and pack horses.

Although Li Yunlong was not good at the treasure of the cavalry battalion, he still did not hesitate to use military horses to transport materials at such a critical moment, and the military horses mainly carried heavy weapons such as mountain artillery.

Looking at it, Wang Yan suddenly shouted, ah, no.

Li Yunlong's heart jumped suddenly, and he frowned and said, "Counselor Wang, what's your dog's ghost name?" ”

"Commander, we seem to have overlooked a very crucial factor!" Wang Yan said in a deep voice, "Time! ”

"When?" Li Yunlong didn't react for a moment, and frowned, "What time?" What do you mean? ”

Wang Yan said: "It will take at least one day and night to transport this batch of weapons and ammunition back to Yang Village, which is 100 miles away!" Such a long time is enough for the 4th Brigade to run to the front in advance to intercept! ”

"Interception?" Li Yunlong was stunned, "There are so many mountains in the southeast of Jin, as long as the villagers drill into the mountains, how can the 4th Brigade intercept them?" There is simply no way to intercept it! ”

"Captain!" Wang Yan shook his head and said, "This time is not the same as before!" ”

After a pause, Wang Yan continued: "In the past, the materials we seized were only dozens of tons, but this time the seized weapons and ammunition are more than 1,000 tons!" With so many supplies and people, it is no longer possible to escape the pursuit of devils by drilling into the mountains, this is simply impossible! ”

Li Yunlong's face suddenly became solemn.

Obviously, Li Yunlong is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.

It's easy for small animals to hide in the forest, but how do elephants hide?

"Blame me!" Wang Yan said with some self-reproach, "I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”

"This factor should be taken into account when making a battle plan at the beginning."

"How can I blame you for this." Li Yunlong said, "If you want to blame, you can only blame us for never fighting such a victory before, let alone seizing so many weapons and ammunition, so we have no experience." ”

It is indeed a lack of experience, and habitual thinking is harmful.

Although he said that, Li Yunlong's brows were already slowly frowning.

It seems that it is really difficult to safely transport this batch of weapons and ammunition back to Yang Village?

But then again, no matter how difficult it is, we have to transport this batch of weapons and equipment back.

If this makes the cooked duck fly again, then he Li Yunlong will not mix in the southeast of Jin Province in the future, and he will be laughed at by Lao Ding and Lao Kong.

……

Yangquan is on the road leading to Niangzi Pass.

The main force of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army was marching forward in a majestic manner.

Mitake Tsuda rode in the middle, his face restless.

However, no matter how anxious he was, it was useless, and he would not shrink the ground into an inch spell, and immediately moved the main force of the 4th Brigade to the Niangziguan battlefield.

As he was walking, a communications soldier caught up with him with a walkie-talkie.

"Brigade commander! Brigade Commander! "The 3rd Squadron of the 11th Armored Train Wing has lost contact, and I seem to have heard gunfire just now. ”

"Nani?" Mitakeshi Tsuda's face changed drastically, and he said urgently, "Call again!" ”

The signal soldier grabbed the microphone and said loudly: "Ma Xi Ma Xi? Maxi Maxi! ”

After calling twice and still there was no response, the signal corpsman raised his head again and said, "Brigade commander, there is still no response, most of the Shimazu squadron has been collectively broken!" ”

"It can't be!" Mitake Tsuda shouted, "The armored train has powerful protective armor and powerful firepower, and with those few broken guns of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to threaten the armored train!" ”

Adjutant Soma Jun suddenly said: "Brigade commander, don't forget that there are rapid-fire guns on the freight train!" ”

"Uh......" Mitake Tsuda's face immediately fell, yes, forget about this stubble!

The freight train sent from Zhengding was loaded with a mountain division's backup weapons and 0.5 combat ammunition, including 3 Type 94 37mm rapid-fire guns!

With rapid-fire guns, the safety of armored trains can no longer be guaranteed!

Taking a breath, Mitake Tsuda instructed the signal soldier again: "Call again!" ”

The signal soldier picked up the microphone and shouted again: "Maxi Maxi? Maxi Maxi?! ”

After more than ten seconds, before the signal corpsman could speak, Mitake Tsuda shouted again: "Call the 11th Armored Squadron belonging to the 7th Armored Train Wing!" ”

"Maxi Maxi!"

"Please reply if you receive it!"

"This is the 4th Brigade!"

After a moment, the signal corpsman raised his head and reported: "Brigade commander, the 11th Armored Squadron of the 7th Armored Train Wing has repelled the Eighth Route Army and is currently stepping up the repair of the railway. ”

"At most, half an hour will be able to rush to Niangzi Pass!"

Mitake Tsuda shouted: "Telegraph to the 7th Armored Squadron, you don't have to go to Niangzi Pass anymore!" ”

Since even the 3rd Panzer Squadron has already had an accident, it is even more impossible for the freight train to be saved.

If nothing else, the backup weapons of a mountain division and 0.5 combat ammunition loaded on the freight train have already fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, it is useless for the 7th Armored Squadron and the 1st Armored Squadron to go to Niangziguan again.

Even, even the main force of the 4th Brigade is meaningless to go to Niangzi Pass again, why did you go? Collect the corpses of the 3rd Panzer Squadron and the royal soldiers on the freight train?

At that moment, Mitake Tsuda shouted: "Soma-kun, map!" ”

Adjutant Jun Soma waved his hand, and two orderlies hurriedly ran forward and spread out the map.

Soma hummed and turned on the flashlight again, helping Mitake Tsuda to illuminate the map, and Mitake Tsuda's eyes fell on the map at once, moving down from the area near the lady.

It must have been the Eighth Route Army of the Taiyue Military Region that robbed the freight army.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army will definitely return to Taiyue District after robbing the supplies!

At this time, when you rush to Niangzi Pass, you can only chase after the butt of the Eighth Route Army!

If they go to Xiyang County in advance, they can get ahead of the Eighth Route Army and intercept them!

At that moment, Mitake Tsuda shouted: "Order, the rear team will change to the front team and go to Xiyang County!" Go to Xiyang County! ”

Mitakeshi Tsuda's order was soon issued, and the main force of the 4th Brigade immediately turned south and headed straight for Xiyang County.
