And then the eggs.

The firepower of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is too intensive!

After the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army succeeded in robbing the freight army column of the Independent Regiment, the level of equipment has risen to a big level, and the whole brigade is equipped with more than 300 light and heavy machine guns!

More than 200 grenadiers!

If you don't take into account artillery and tanks, the firepower of the 386 Brigade was comparable to that of a Japanese division at that time!

Under normal circumstances, a three-unit field division of the Japanese army was only 144 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 216 crooked light machine guns, and 216 grenadiers, and the firepower of the 386 Brigade at that time was not inferior to that of a three-unit field division of the Japanese army.

And now, the firepower of the 386 brigade is even more ferocious.

In the First Battle of Taiyuan, the 386 Brigade captured more than 500 light and heavy machine guns!

Therefore, the 386th Brigade now has more than 800 light and heavy machine guns, with an average of one machine gun for every 10 people, which is almost three times the firepower of a field division of the Japanese army!

There are also grenadiers, which are also more than 400!

In order to annihilate the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army in the shortest possible time, the brigade commander took out all the spare weapons and equipment and temporarily strengthened them to the three main regiments.

Enough ammo too!

The 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army was in a hurry to rush back to Taiyuan, but it was caught off guard again and completely entered the ambush circle.

So that scene is really one word, cool! The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is really cool this time!

More than 800 light machine guns and more than 400 grenadiers were deployed on both sides of the road with a length of more than 3 kilometers, and they opened heavy fire on the devils marching in four columns on the road!

That grenade really rained like a torrential rain!

Under the cover of such dense fire fork fire, the 9th Brigade could not find a hiding place at all.

Although the devils of the 9th Brigade had good literacy and reacted quickly, they knelt on one knee or lay down on the spot at the first time, trying to raise their guns to fight back against the Eighth Route Army.

However, it is of no avail.

Under the rain of bullets like a torrential rain.

Under the onslaught of grenades.

The devils of the 9th Brigade were stacked down in rows, and they were blown up one by one.

Naokiyoshi Yoshino's luck was not bad, and he dodged the first wave of firepower.

Then a truck ran up out of control and collided with the truck that Naokiyoshi Yoshino was riding.

The two cars collided, but they formed a corner, providing a narrow shelter for Naokiyoshi Yoshino.

Yoshino Naokiyoshi poked his head out and glanced at it, only to see that the entire valley was completely covered by jet machine gun fire, and then looked overhead, it was also covered with grenade tracks.

There were even mortar and mountain artillery shells.

One of the shells fell near them.

The huge wave of air nearly overturned both trucks.

Naokiyoshi Yoshino fell to the ground again, looking around through the gap between the truck and the ground.

It was found that few of the imperial soldiers of the 36th Independent Infantry Brigade could still squat, and most of them had already lay down.

The 36th Independent Infantry Brigade was like this, and the situation of the other three infantry brigades could be imagined, and all of a sudden, an indescribable despair swept through Yoshino's heart.

It's over, the 9th Brigade is completely finished!

After tonight, the 9th Brigade will most likely be revoked!

And he, Naokiyo Yoshino, will also be nailed to the shame of history as the last brigade commander of the 9th brigade, even though he is only the acting brigade commander.

With a sigh, Naokiyo Yoshino said to the signal soldier beside him, "Say goodbye to the telegram!" ”

The signal soldier snapped, took out his notebook and pen, and prepared to take notes.

Yoshino Naokiyoshi brewed his emotions for a moment, and said gloomily: "North China Front Headquarters: I independently mixed the 9th Brigade and was ambushed by a large force of the Eighth Route Army near Changning Town. ”

"The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is so ferocious that it is outrageous."

"According to conservative estimates, there are at least a thousand light and heavy machine guns."

"Our 9th Brigade is crowded on the road, and it is difficult to organize an effective counterattack."

Before the words fell, a dazzling tongue of fire suddenly hit the rear of the truck, penetrating the gap in the steel plate and hitting Yoshino Naokiyo, Yoshino Naokiyoshi didn't say a word, and immediately fell straight up.

……

No. 11, Tieshi Hutong, Beiping, North China Front Headquarters.

There was silence in the war room, and everyone, including Okamura Ninji, looked solemn.

Only the voice of Chief of Staff Michiichi Miyano echoed in the war room: "...... Naokiyoshi Yoshino was unfortunately shot just now, and the jade was shattered on the spot, and the following message was narrated by Noda Masatsuki, the lieutenant adjutant of the brigade headquarters. ”

"The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is even more urgent, and the shells are like hail in summer."

"There is no hope for the 9th Brigade to break through, and the only way to serve the empire is to die."

"I hope that the front army headquarters will notify the follow-up divisions and brigades as soon as possible."

"Be vigilant on the road, and don't repeat the mistakes of our 9th Brigade."

"Imperial Japanese Army, onboard! Great Japanese Empire, onboard! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! On June 15, Showa 17, farewell to Changning Town, West of China! ”

As soon as Miyano finished speaking, the entire war room fell into a deathly silence.

Including Okamura Ninji, everyone was still in a huge state of shock, or bewilderment.

Because the reaction of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was completely beyond their expectations, they never thought that the 386th Brigade would dare to take the initiative to meet the 9th Brigade at this time!

At this time, the main force of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi returned to help.

At this time, two divisions and one brigade of Datong and Zhengding were reinforcing on a large scale.

The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army didn't want to escape earlier, didn't want to escape as far as possible, and actually took the initiative to attack? How dare you go to Changning Town to ambush the 9th Brigade?

Who gave them guts?

How dare they? How dare they?!

Thinking about it, Okamura Ninji roared loudly: "How dare you? How dare they?! ”

Okamura's roar was shocked, angry, but more guilty.

At this moment, the old devil felt deep self-blame and guilt! It's all his fault!

It was he who underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and it was he who underestimated the courage of the commander of the Eighth Route Army, so that the 9th Brigade was wiped out! It's all his fault! His fault!

But the old devil quickly calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, Okamura Ninji said, "Miyano-kun." ”

"Hello." Michiichi Miyano stepped forward and lowered his head to listen.

"Command." Okamura Ninji said in a deep voice, "The 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division have strengthened reconnaissance, and in addition, the time of arrival in Taiyuan is no longer stipulated!" The 26th Division, the 8th Brigade and the 110th Division from Datong and Zhengding are also! ”

"Beware of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in the Jinsui bandit area, the Jinchaji bandit area, and the central Hebei bandit area setting up an ambush in the middle."

"Before, we underestimated the Eighth Route Army, thinking that the Eighth Route Army did not have the strength and courage to attack a mixed brigade of the Imperial Army head-on, but fortunately, it is not too late to make amends."

"Hello!" Miyano Road paused heavily.
