"The information is out, and there will be a devil car transport team passing through the Hanchang Highway after seven, but"

At the headquarters of the 29th Division, the intelligence staff officer came out with the news he had just received, and halfway through, he suddenly paused, and then continued, but his tone became a little heavy.

"This time, the devil's transport team is very large, with more than 300 cars, and more than 2,000 devils are in charge of guarding."

"More than 2,000 devils!"

As soon as the news came out, the originally silent division headquarters burst into excitement, and everyone muttered about this troop number, and their tones were full of hesitation and disbelief.

As soon as this news came out, everyone became worried about this battle.

The troops of the 29th Division around the Handchang Highway only have two brigades, four main regiments, teaching regiments, and cavalry battalions totaling more than 7,000 people, and the size of the devil's transport force that everyone originally expected was only a few squadrons and less than five or six hundred people.

But if it is more than 2,000 devils, this battle is very difficult to fight, not that the more than 7,000 people of the 29th Division can't beat more than 2,000 devils, but once the battle begins, the devils around the battlefield will definitely support, once the battle cannot be solved in a short time, then the 29th Division will definitely fall into the siege of the devils

"Is this battle still fought?"

The tone of a brigade commander hesitated.

"Wait, the plan remains the same for the time being"

The division commander thought for a moment, looked at the winding Hanchang road on the ground, and finally decided to wait first.

If it was before, before the arrival of the convoy, then the division commander would definitely not hesitate to turn around and leave, the convoy guarded by more than 2,000 devils, even if he forcibly ate the 29th Division, would be supported half-body, but the arrival of the convoy in the morning gave him a little idea, more than 10,000 large-charge M24 grenades, five mortars, thousands of shells, and hundreds of thousands of bullets gave the division commander the capital to hesitate.

If there is an ambush on the Hanchang Highway, there are more than 500 devils stationed in Dongyang Pass and Shexian County, and there are more than 1,000 devils in Licheng, even if more than 2,000 devils are added, the strength ratio of the 29th Division is still two to one, as long as the battle ends quickly enough... The division commander was thinking at high speed in his heart at this time.

It's just that the situation is always more developed than people imagined.

······

Dasuzhuang is a village located about 30 kilometers south of Jin.

In the evening.

At this time, all the soldiers of the artillery company, the first battalion and the second battalion of the 1st Independent Regiment were prostrate and hidden in a col outside Dasuzhuang, and all of them were covered with grass branches for shelter, and they were motionless and hidden.

Not far behind these warriors, there were more than two hundred mules and horses hidden in the mountains and forests, these mules and horses were markedly different from ordinary mules and horses, their muscles and limbs were stronger, their backs were wider and more powerful, and they were quieter.

After receiving Luo Yun's support from the super mules and horses, the head of the independent regiment, Zhang Da, keenly discovered the military use of this kind of mule and horse.

These super mules and horses are fast, carrying half a ton of supplies on camels and can travel from mountain road to mountain at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour; Endurance is long-lasting, and can maintain a camel transportation distance of every 80 kilometers for dozens of consecutive dozens; And it is quiet and easy to drive, almost not barking like an ordinary mule, and even a warrior who has never been in contact with animal power can learn to drive it in ten minutes.

This is simply an excellent partner for mountain raids, so Commander Zhang Da sent the first and second battalions with more than 200 super mules and horses to rush all the way to Dasuzhuang, ambushing a material transfer station for devils here.

At this time, in the col, the commanders of the 1st and 2nd battalions and the commanders of the artillery companies were holding brand-new eight-fold telescopes to look at the situation in the distance.

Three kilometers away from them, many devils were transporting and connecting, boxes of ammunition and bags of materials were transported to the military station by devils' manpower or animal power, waiting for Bai's transport trucks to transfer them.

During World War II, the railways in China were in chaos, due to the open and secret battles between various warlords, except for the three eastern provinces occupied by the devils, there was hardly a complete railway in the country, most of them were section by section, and they needed to be connected in the middle. Such a chaotic railway naturally gave the devils a headache, and they could only expand and extend the railway while arranging a large number of manpower to connect the materials transported by the railway.

"The number of devils seems to be a bit large"

The commander of the first battalion looked at the devil material transfer station in the distance, and his tone was a little hesitant.

This time, the purpose of the 1st and 2nd Battalions and the Artillery Company was to destroy this material transfer station and destroy the materials stored here, but at this time there were a large number of devil soldiers here, which made the commander of the 1st Battalion in charge of the command hesitate whether to launch an attack as planned.

"Well, there are almost a thousand devils here."

The commander of the artillery company counted several people and estimated the number of devils. At this time, the devil in the station was the 29th Division Transport Brigade of the 37th Division preparing to ambush. As a newly built division, the baggage brigade of the 37th Division entered the battlefield of the Republic of China for the first time, and even the cars, mules and horses originally allocated to them were still waiting for them to receive them in front. The supplies on this train were exactly what they needed to transport to the front line in the near future.

"What are you afraid of, will there be more than a thousand devils soon!"

"These devils on the other side are the transport team at a glance, this group of devils is not very good at fighting, and our artillery company is also here this time, and when we touch it in the dark, dozens of guns will bombard it violently, and then one charge will be over."

"Moreover, this time the regiment commander also handed over five big hammers to us, with this heavy firepower, are you afraid of these thousand devils?"

The commander of the second battalion spoke in a eager tone.

For this ambush battle, the 1st Independent Regiment sent the most elite 1st and 2nd Battalions and artillery companies, as the main battalion, the 1st and 2nd Battalions have the highest proportion of veterans, and their training results in peacetime are also the best, and they have recently experienced several actual combat tests.

The ram is a 12,7 Browning M2 mm heavy machine gun, a heavy weapon that can be broken with one shot, which won the love of all the soldiers as soon as it appeared, and because of its great power, the soldiers gave it the name of the ram.

"This time I brought 12 82 mortars, each with 1,500 rounds of ammunition, and we can pull the giant spirit god directly to the running position, so that we can maintain a high rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute for a long time, plus the 20 60 mortars of your two battalions, we can deliver more than 800 shells in a minute, and the devil will definitely not be able to carry it"

Tang Ming, the commander of the artillery company, also encouraged the commander of the first battalion.

The giant spirit god is their name for the super mule horse, this kind of mule with great strength, easy to feed, obedient and quiet, and even not afraid of the sound of bomb explosions makes the soldiers love it very much, and directly gave a nickname of the giant spirit god.

"Okay, we'll do it when it's dark at night."

Both commanders of the same rank supported the continuation of the offensive, and the commander of the first battalion no longer hesitated.

When night fell, the transfer station of devil supplies in the distance was also quiet, and at this time, the commander of a battalion looked at the watch in his hand.
