"Quick, quick!"

"Hurry up!"

"Sprinkle it with the old dirt again!"

"Cover the new soil that you dug up!"

Shen Quan was directing the fighters of the 2nd Battalion and 5th Company to lay mines.

Although it was night, Shen Quan was still very careful, and asked the soldiers to sweep the old soil from other sections and cover it with the new soil dug up when the mines were laid.

In this way, it is not easy to be discovered by devils.

Not far from the front, Wang Huaibao was also busy with the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company.

As for the other four infantry companies and two heavy machine gun companies, machine gun fire points have been set up along the road.

This side was busy, and suddenly there was a light under the night sky ahead, and the guard post in front of Shi immediately shouted: "Battalion commander, the devil is coming, the devil is coming!" ”

"Withdraw, hurry up!"

Shen Quan signaled the soldiers of the 5th Company to quickly retreat to the position on the side of the road.

However, Shen Quan himself took a broom and finally cleaned it.

It wasn't until the headlights shone straight that Shen Quan hurriedly rushed into the ambush position on the side of the road with a broomstick.

As soon as Shen Quan hid it, the devil's spearhead had already driven over, it was three Type 97 military side three-wheeled motorcycles, and there was also a machine gun on the side bucket of the motorcycle in front of him, and a machine gun with a crutch handle.

Every time they drove a section forward, the devils used machine guns to fire indiscriminately on both sides of the road, which belonged to fire reconnaissance.

Because they were in a hurry, and it was night, the devil soldiers did not have time to reconnoiter carefully at all, but could only conduct fire reconnaissance on both sides of the road.

The 2nd battalion, the 3rd battalion and the fighters were very well hidden.

The devil's spearhead was in a hurry and drove over quickly.

Soon, the main force of the Devil's Fast Brigade drove over.

Looking at the huge convoy driving over on the highway, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao, and the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd battalions couldn't help but be speechless.

Damn, the little devil is arrogant.

There must be at least 30 trucks, right?

In addition to the trucks, there are 3 tanks at the beginning!

Many of the trucks also had a cannon towed in the back.

This cannon is not the same as the 75 mountain guns of the artillery regiment.

Behind the convoy was followed by the cavalry, behind which there were 2 tanks.

In the blink of an eye, the first 3 tanks have entered the severed minefield, but the 2 tanks in the back have not yet entered the truncated minefield, and the devil's formation has been stretched longer than they expected.

The main thing is that they didn't expect the devils to come with cavalry.

But he couldn't care so much, so Shen Quan immediately pressed the detonator.

"Boom!" Only a loud bang was heard, and more than 10 giant mines modified from 150mm caliber high-explosive grenades buried in front and behind had exploded violently.

The Type 97 medium tank that started was blown up by a mine, and it jumped up from the air wave generated by the explosion, and the bottom of the car that was already weak was torn open a big gap.

Just look at the shape of the gap under the car, and the devil inside is definitely dead or alive.

The other two Type 95 light tanks were also swept to the ground by the air wave, and one of the tanks burst its fuel tank, sparking sparks on the ground as it glided, and the tank quickly set the tank on fire.

At the back of the convoy, more than a dozen cavalry horsemen were also blown up in an instant.

It was really shattered, and the huge air wave generated when the 150mm caliber high-explosive grenade exploded, within 20 meters in diameter, was enough to tear apart any flesh and blood.

War horses can't bear it.

There were many more devil cavalry overturned.

This is a tactic commonly used by the Eighth Route Army when fighting ambushes.

This time, the tail only hit the devil cavalry, but dozens of devil cavalry fell sideways on the road, which also blocked the entire devil convoy and forced the truck in the middle to be in a dilemma.

In the next moment, the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions who were ambushed on both sides of the road opened fire.

In particular, the two heavy machine gun companies and 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, which occupied the commanding heights on both sides of the highway in advance, poured out the dense firepower into the devil's convoy.

In addition to 12 heavy machine guns, there are also 54 light machine guns!

And the devil truck only has a canvas canopy, which can't stop the bullets at all.

Therefore, under the dense machine-gun fire, many devil infantry were beaten into a sieve before they even had time to jump out of the truck.

The machine gunners of the 2nd and 3rd battalions were cool this time.

Because before the war, the regiment commander personally told them to let them go!

Let go of the meaning of fighting, that is, it can be made vigorously, no need to save bullets, that is, it can use firepower to eliminate little devils, and you will never fight with devils with bayonets!

"Da Da Da!"

"Puff puff!"

"Tom tom!"

The roar of the Type 96 light machine gun and the Type 92 heavy machine gun intertwined into a single movement.

There are also grenadiers that smash rows of grenades on the devil's head as if they didn't need money.

The grenadiers of the independent regiment are not as accurate as the grenadiers of the devils, but they can't stand the large number of them, and they will kill you!

In this beautiful music, hundreds of devils met their Amaterasu in the first place, and they didn't even know what was going on.

The devil who fell into the ambush circle was stunned at once.

Although more than half of the devils jumped out of the car under the dense firepower,

But after getting out of the car, these devils were instantly stunned, and they didn't know what to do?

Because in the field of vision, there was heavy machine-gun fire everywhere, and the dazzling tongues of fire were almost intertwined into a terrifying net, and they didn't even know which direction to return fire.

At the moment when the little devil who got out of the car was stunned, he poured a large piece again.

The only ones who weren't stunned were the last 2 tanks.

Although a lot of machine gun fire hit the two tanks after the break, but only sparks flew and clanged, but the two tanks of the devil were unscathed.

One of the tanks even fired a shot.

Knock out one Type 92 heavy machine gun on a commanding height.

"!" Shen Quan scolded and roared angrily, "4 companies and 5 squads, kill these 2 tanks for me!" ”

As soon as Shen Quan gave an order, more than a dozen soldiers immediately got up from the position, carrying the incendiary bottles that had been ignited, and quickly approached the two tanks of the devil, and when the two tanks of the devil found the danger, more than a dozen soldiers of the 4th company and 5 squads had already approached within 20 meters, so they threw out the Molotov cocktails in their hands.

"Boom, boom!" The sound of broken bottles rang out.

The next moment, two tanks burst into flames.

The flames scorched the tank's armor, and the temperature inside the compartment rose rapidly.

After only a moment, the devil tank crew in the carriage couldn't bear it anymore and opened the top of the turret to run out.

But at this time, the soldiers of the 4th company and the 5th squad were already ready, and with just a platoon of guns, they killed the two devils who were the first to climb out of the top of the turret on the spot.

Immediately after that, several grenades were thrown into the open turret roof.

Only two booms were heard, and the compartments of the two tanks also burst into red light.

Tanks are known as the king of armies and can be called a weapon against infantry.

But once the infantry approached at night with Molotov cocktails, there was only one left to wait for death, not to mention the thin-skinned tanks of the little devils, and even the Tiger King of the German army could not withstand the Molotov cocktails of the Soviet army.

Easily extinguished the 2 tanks after the break, the fighters of the 4th company and 5 squads looked back,

I saw that the cavalry company had already entered the battle, and more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed through like a snowy saber wind, and finally the remaining hundreds of devils were harvested again.

Then, the loud trumpet sounded.

But it was the 2nd and 3rd battalions that launched the final general attack.

More than a dozen soldiers of the 4th Company and 5th squad immediately pulled out their bayonets from their waists and inserted them into the slot of their guns, and then launched a charge with their rifles with bayonets attached.

In the midst of the chaos, a devil operator was sitting in front of the radio station to send a telegram.

This devil newspaper operator is conscientious, and he is still thinking about sending a report at this time.

However, before he could send the telegram, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army had already rushed over, and with a single thrust, the sharp bayonet pierced the ghost operator's vest.

……

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang have already passed the blockade ditch.

This will just come to the southern gap of the blockade ditch.

There was also a thick air of dust, which had been raised by the cavalry company after the charge.

Shen Quan hurriedly ran over with a face of gunpowder smoke and said loudly: "Commander, the devil's fast mobile brigade has already let us kill it, but we have run away from a few devil cavalry!" ”

"It's nothing to run away from a few devil cavalry."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he asked Zhao Gang again: "Old Zhao, what time is it?" ”

Zhao Gang raised his wrist and looked at the Roman watch, and said, "There are still five minutes left at zero o'clock." ”

"Five points from zero?" Li Yunlong laughed when he heard this, "Haha, it only took another twenty minutes!" ”

"yes, it's unbelievable." Zhao Gang also muttered, "It only took twenty minutes for our independent regiment to eat a fast mobile brigade of devils!" ”

"This is a fast mobile brigade!"

"In addition to dozens of trucks, there are artillery, and even tanks!"

"But it only took twenty minutes for us to wipe them out!"

"How do I feel like I'm dreaming? Lao Li, I can't be dreaming, right? ”

Zhao Gang really felt unbelievable, because this battle was so easy, so easy that he couldn't believe it.

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "My big political commissar, this is not a dream, this is true, our independent regiment really only took twenty minutes to kill a fast mobile brigade of devils!" ”

Zhao Gang said: "Then I don't understand, why did the devil suddenly become unbeaten?" ”

Shen Quan wiped the smoke from his face and said, "Yes, isn't the devil's guard division known as the elite?" But how do I feel that I am far worse than the Yamazaki brigade? ”

Li Yunlong said: "It's not that the Guards Division is worse than the Yamazaki Brigade, but that our independent regiment has become stronger. ”

After saying this, he continued: "You don't want to think about what happened to our independent regiment when we fought against the Yamazaki brigade in Lijiapo? What's the situation now? Can it be compared? ”

"That's right." Zhao Gang muttered, "Now our firepower is really much fiercer." ”

Li Yunlong said: "In terms of infantry light firepower alone, our independent regiment has not lost to the devil, but the reason why this battle was won so easily is mainly because the little devil didn't expect it, and then the firepower that Xiao Wang said was used intensively, otherwise, you want to kill the devil so easily A fast mobile brigade?" Dream on! ”

Shen Quan said: "The concentrated use of firepower is really powerful. ”

"Of course, can so many light and heavy machine guns fire together?"

Li Yunlong said: "It's just that this kind of rich battle is not something that anyone can fight, so our independent regiment and our mobile column can afford to fight this kind of battle, so let's dream of changing to other brother troops." ”

Shen Quan said again: "Commander, what will our group do next?" ”

"There's nothing going on with our group going on." Li Yunlong said, "You can't be too greedy, you can't let us take all the good things together, you have to give the 772nd regiment, the new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment a mouthful of soup to drink, right?" ”

After saying this, Li Yunlong said again: "Pass my order, and the whole regiment will withdraw to Wangjia Village to rest and stand by." ”

"Withdraw?" Shen Quan was a little dumbfounded and said, "Commander, the battlefield hasn't had time to clean up yet." ”

Li Yunlong said: "The matter of cleaning up the battlefield is no longer in our hands, and local troops are in charge. ”

"No, Captain." Shen Quan said hurriedly, "You don't need other equipment, but there are still 6 of them there, cough cough, 75mm caliber cannon." ”

Shen Quan inhaled the dust as he spoke, coughing.

Li Yunlong didn't hear it clearly, and said disdainfully: "That's not our responsibility." ”

"I said, Battalion Commander 2, the rules are different from before."

"According to Xiao Wang's words, you kid has to keep pace with the times and abandon the consciousness of the small people."

Li Yunlong has had a lot of contact with Wang Ye, and he has a set of theories when it comes to them.

Shen Quan was really frightened by Li Yunlong, but Zhao Gang couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's keeping pace with the times, small farmers." ”

"Harm, anyway, it just means the same thing." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "You can't just focus on the front, you must have a long-term vision." ”

Zhao Gang said happily: "Lao Li, you have really grown. ”

"Of course, who is our old Li?" Li Yunlong smiled, and suddenly asked Shen Quan again, "By the way, Shen Quan, what did you just say?" ”

Shen Quan hurriedly said: "6 75mm caliber cannons!" ”

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and said: "Pull it away, quickly pull it away and hide it, don't let the brigade commander see it." ”

Zhao Gang's face fell, yes, when I didn't say anything just now, Li Yunlong is still the familiar Li Yunlong, but what's the use of you hiding these 6 cannons?

Can you still hide from the brigadier's eyes?

……

In Taiyuan, the headquarters of the 1st Army.

Although Maeda Tadanobu was not in Yangquan, the operation of the 2nd Guards Division was not affected in the slightest.

Telegram after telegram was sent from the 3rd Rapid Rescue Strike Detachment, Shouyang County, and Niangziguan Station, reporting the latest developments to the Taiyuan 1st Army Headquarters.

Ryuichi Sakamoto immediately took the operational staff officer to reflect on the sand table.

But I saw that the 2nd core detachment stationed in Yangquan County had already advanced towards the Zhaojiayuan stronghold, and the final detachment stationed in Niangzi Pass had also completed the assembly.

According to the predictions of Yoshio Shinozuka and Tadanobu Maeda, the two old devils,

The 3rd Rapid Rescue Strike Detachment, even if it is besieged by the main forces of more than five regiments of the Eighth Route Army, there is absolutely no problem in holding out for two to three hours, and the 2nd Core Detachment will be able to arrive at this time.

After the 2nd Core Detachment arrived, it would have to make further reactions depending on the size of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan.

If the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan was only one or two regiments, then with the 3rd Rapid Rescue Strike Detachment and the 2nd Core Detachment would be enough to wipe it out.

If the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan is as many as three to five regiments, then the two detachments that arrived in advance only need to entangle the Eighth Route Army, and wait for the final detachment stationed at Niangzi Pass to arrive, and then encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army.

And if the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan exceeds five regiments, or even more than ten regiments, then the other two core detachments will also rush to the direction of Zhaojiayuan, concentrating 3 core detachments and one final detachment, the strength will exceed 10,000 people, and it also has superior artillery and armored troops, which is enough to crush the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area.

Maeda Tadanobu asked, "Shinozuka-kun, how large do you think the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhaojiayuan will be?" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a moment and said, "I think that there are at least four regiments or more, that is, a brigade. ”

"A brigade?" Maeda Tadanobu looked moved and said, "Shinozuka-kun, do you mean the 386th Brigade that once caused the 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade to suffer big losses?" ”

"Yes, I think it's definitely the 386th Brigade."

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Maeda-kun, you have just come to Shanxi, and you are not very familiar with the situation of the Eighth Route Army, which is a typical amateur army. ”

Maeda Tadanobu asked, "What kind of amateur law?" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "The Eighth Route Army does not have a regular number system, does not have a unified logistics support system, and even does not have a unified military uniform and weapons. ”

"Their supplies have to be raised by the units themselves."

"Their weapons and equipment had to be captured by the units themselves, from the Imperial Army, but more from the Imperial Allied Army and the bandit forces."

"Therefore, there is an extremely huge disparity in the level of logistics support and equipment between the various departments of the Eighth Route Army."

"And the 386 Brigade I just mentioned, because it successively annihilated the Imperial Army's Kuroshima Wing, Yamazaki Brigade, Yamamoto Special Forces, and the Field Observation Group, and also severely damaged the 4th Brigade and the 9th Brigade, so both in terms of equipment level and logistics support, it is far superior to other brigades in the Taihang Bandit Area."

"According to reliable information, the 386 Brigade has four regiments under its command."

"There is reason to believe that it was the 386 Brigade that attacked the stronghold of Zhaojiayuan."

"The commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, who has a strong personality, must want to rely on the strong combat effectiveness of the 386 Brigade to tear a gap in the Zhengtai Road defense line and cover its headquarters and other troops to break through and move south."

Yoshio Shinozuka's judgment was still very accurate, and he predicted more than half of Wang Ye's intentions.

"I see." Maeda Tadanobu nodded, and then said, "It's just that our 2nd Guards Division will definitely not let the Eighth Route Army get their wish, and if they want to break through the Zhengtai Road defense line, I'm afraid it's wishful thinking." ”

Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "With the strength and equipment of the 386 Brigade, even if the 3rd Rapid Rescue Strike Detachment and the 2nd Core Detachment are combined, there are only 3,500 people, and neither the strength nor the equipment is superior, so I don't think the final detachment of Niangzi Pass has to wait any longer, and immediately attack and advance to the Zhaojiayuan stronghold." ”

"It's fine." When Maeda Tadanobu was about to instruct his adjutant,

I saw Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, hurriedly walking out of the communications room.
