Chapter 272: Yoshio Shinozuka's sword proficiency +1
Taiyuan.
The headquarters of the First Army.
After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments and two sweeps, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army suffered losses from each other.
The Eighth Route Army needed to rest, and the Japanese army urgently needed to replenish troops and materials.
The replenishment of the army could be carried to Shanxi by road, on foot or by truck.
The materials range from a few hundred tons to thousands of tons, and the efficiency of trucks is obviously too low, and it needs to be transported by train.
Therefore, the devils are using all the manpower and financial resources they can use to quickly rebuild the Taipei, Tongpu and Pinghan railways.
In this cold day, the main force of the Eighth Route Army rarely came out to move, so there was no war.
Commander Yoshio Shinozuka and Chief of Staff Hideyoshi Kusuyama play chess in the office.
Usually Yoshio Shinozuka plays chess with Kazuki Yamamoto, but now there is a crisis of trust between the two, and Yamamoto is still locked up in a cell in the special high class.
I can only go down with Kusunayama Hideyoshi.
Although Kusuyama Hideyoshi's central flowering tactics failed, the information on that occasion was not leaked, and the Japanese army wreaked havoc after entering the base area, and it was not without gains.
Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka still trusts Kusunayama Hideyoshi more.
It's just that the continuous battle plan has been leaked, and now Yoshio Shinozuka has become suspicious and extremely suspicious.
"Report!" The voice of Toshimatsu Kasai, communications staff officer, sounded outside the door.
"Come in!" Yoshio Shinozuka shouted without raising his head.
Kasai Toshimatsu hurriedly walked to the chessboard with a face on his face, and said with a pause: "Your Excellency the commander, Your Excellency the chief of staff, something has happened." ”
Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama raised their heads in unison when they heard this, and their faces changed slightly.
"Kasai-kun." Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Kasai Toshimatsu said: "The Kono Brigade of the Kwantung Army was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the Chenjiagou section of the Zhengtai Highway between Yangquan and Shouyang, with a strength of at least 2,000 people, and the situation is very critical. ”
"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face sank, it seemed that something had really happened.
When Kasai Toshimatsu said his first words, he thought that the Kwantung Army had been attacked and harassed by a small group of eight-way guerrillas.
Toshimatsu Kasai added: "The firepower of the Eighth Route is fierce and equipped with artillery. ”
"Your Excellency, Commander." Nanshan Hideyoshi said in a deep voice, "We should immediately send planes to support, and at the same time order the imperial troops stationed in Shouyang and Yangquan to rush to the aid immediately!" ”
"The combat power of the Kwantung Army is very strong."
"What's more, these soldiers are all elites selected from various units of the Kwantung Army, as long as it is not Li Yunlong's department that ambushes..."
"Even if you don't lose, you shouldn't have a problem holding out for a few hours."
"It's still too late to send troops."
Yoshio Shinozuka's face was gloomy, and he slapped on the chess table:
"Dirt Eight Road is looking for death!"
"Order the defenders of Yangquan and Shouyang to set off immediately, and the flying group will immediately send planes to support!"
The table was slammed, the chess pieces on the table jumped to the ground, and Toshimatsu Kasai's heart jumped in fright.
"Hey!"
Toshimatsu Kasai hurriedly bowed his head, and then ran out to convey the order.
Watching Kasai Toshimatsu's back disappear at the door, Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, Chen Jiagou?
How does it feel familiar?
The 9th Flying Squadron, which had been completely wiped out by the First Army, has been rebuilt.
The captain of the flying team is still Takuichi Kato.
Because Ryuichi Kato lied about the military situation in the battle of Lion's Brain Mountain in the Battle of Shota, it indirectly led to the annihilation of the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade and was imprisoned.
Takashi Kato almost went to court-martial, but was saved by Yoshio Shinozuka and gave him a chance to atone for his crimes.
However, Ryuichi Kato was also a blessing in disguise, he was not there when Li Yunlong led the mountain artillery battalion to shell the Devil's Airport, and he was lucky to pick up a life.
The pilots of the 9th Flying Squadron directly under the First Army were almost completely wiped out.
The planes and pilots of the 9th Flying Squadron directly under the 1st Army are all transferred from the Kwantung Army.
The fighters and reconnaissance planes are basically Nakajima fighters, and the bombers are basically Type 96 attack planes.
Now there are two airports in Taiyuan, Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport, and each airport has built an aircraft nest that can resist the power of 75 mm mountain artillery shells.
After receiving the order, Ryuichi Kato, who was at the Wusu Airport, led three fighters and two attack planes, carrying aerial bombs, to fly along the Zhengtai Highway toward Chenjiagou.
The devils in Yangquan and Shouyang, after receiving the order of Yoshio Shinozuka, immediately sent a convoy to help the Kono Brigade of the Kwantung Army.
……
When the devil's air force and ground forces begin to rush to help.
The battle of Chenjiagou is nearing its end.
In the face of strong firepower, the bushido spirit of the Kwantung Army was simply vulnerable.
After the devil did not return fire, Li Yunlong ordered an attack on the road.
The remaining devils who didn't die thought that the Eighth Route was about to rush up and fight with a white blade, so they roared and met the Eighth Route with a bayonet.
But what greeted the devil was an eight-way bullet, and the devils who tried to charge for a white-knuckle battle were all beaten into a sieve.
There were more than 10 or 20 devils at the head and tail of the convoy and fled when they saw this, but they were soon overtaken by the cavalry who killed them from behind the mountain, and they became dead souls under the sword.
In the end, the stubborn devil was shot, and the battle was soon over.
The Kwantung Army, the devil who entered the ambush circle, numbered about 800 people, and the whole army was wiped out.
More than 800 Kwantung Army troops were completely annihilated by two battalions of the new regiment in less than a quarter of an hour.
I saw the corpses of devils lying all over the road, many devils had been shot several times, and there were many devils on the highway with stumps and broken arms.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting.
However, none of the fighters were new recruits on the first day of battle, and none of the fighters really vomited.
A soldier who had just joined the second battalion from the county brigade saw that the devils had fallen to the ground, and reached out to peel off the coat of the devil's corpse, but the eyes of the devil's corpse suddenly opened, and then hugged the soldier tightly, pulled the grenade in his hand, and both of them died together with a bang.
"Damn, a group of two or three quickly cleans the battlefield, first replenishes the gun and then the knife, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be captured." Li Yunlong ran over to take a look when he heard the sound, and immediately said angrily.
This group of Kwantung Army is not only tenacious, but also very fierce and cunning, deliberately pretending to be dead and trying to pull a cushion.
However, the eight hundred people have been wiped out, and they are still afraid of a few ghost soldiers lying on the ground and pretending to be dead?
The new regiment has won so many battles and cleaned so many battlefields, and some of them have a way to deal with the devil's wounded soldiers, that is, the recruits are inexperienced.
The sound of crackling gunfire and the clatter of bayonets into flesh rang out.
Seeing that he couldn't be an old silver coin, some of the devil's wounded soldiers wanted to resist, but they were quickly killed.
More than 1,600 people cleaned up the battlefield very quickly, and in less than a minute or two, all the corpses of the devils were replenished with guns and knives, and none of the devils were alive.
At that moment, Li Yunlong said: "What is on the devil's body, on the car, whether it is weapons and ammunition or what he wears, he will be stripped off by labor and management, and he will resolutely not leave a single hair for the devil except for his crotch pants!" ”
Only then did the soldiers feel relieved and boldly peel off the cotton clothes and weapons and equipment on the devil's body.
Zhang Dabiao jumped into the compartment of a truck loaded with supplies, pried open an ammunition box with a bayonet, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and shouted:
"Commander, come and see, let's get rich, this car is full of bullets."
Li Yunlong hurriedly climbed into the truck and saw that the truck was full of ammunition boxes, and they were all bullet boxes.
Just by looking at the caliber of the bullet, Li Yunlong recognized that it was a 6.5 mm caliber Arisaka rifle bullet.
Grand Master Li grinned at the corners of his mouth, and when he looked back, there were many empty trucks, but there were also some trucks full of ammunition boxes.
Some empty cars and trucks carrying ammunition boxes were blown up during the fighting.
Grand Master Li scolded: "Da Biao, that's all you have for your dog's day, just a dozen truckloads of ammunition make your kid happy like this?" ”
With a smile, Zhang Dabiao said: "Leader, I Zhang Dabiao has no other hobbies, I just like to make a fortune, and I can't control myself if I make a fortune." ”
Li Yunlong said: "Don't fucking talk nonsense, when I was fighting just now, I saw the devil holding a radio intercom and screaming weirdly, eighty percent of them were fucking asking for help." ”
"Let the soldiers unload all the ammunition boxes and move them to the snow over there to hide them."
"When the devil's plane comes, and when they see us moving ammunition boxes, they will definitely blow up all these weapons, ammunition and trucks."
The straight-line distance between Chenjiagou and Taiyuan is about 70 kilometers, and at the speed of a devil's plane, it takes less than 20 minutes to get there from take-off here.
Every second counts.
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao straightened up, and then shouted loudly, "The first battalion, hurry up and move the ammunition box and hide it in the snow over there." ”
Li Yunlong hurriedly jumped out of the truck, and Zhang Dabiao handed over a wooden box containing 6.5 mm Arisaka rifle cartridges, and Li Yunlong took it and carried it on his shoulder and ran to the other side of the mountain.
While running, he shouted: "Pass my order, the second battalion immediately move the ammunition box and move there to hide in the snow." ”
The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd battalions began to unload the ammunition boxes, and the ants moved like ants, removing the ammunition boxes from the devil's trucks and burying them in the snow.
Although the new regiment is rich now, but the more good things like ammunition, the better, how can Li Yunlong have too much?
Less than three minutes after moving the ammunition boxes off the road and blowing up the devil truck, the hum of the devil's airplane motor was heard in the sky.
At that moment, under Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers immediately lay down in the snow, because they were wearing snow camouflage cloaks, so they didn't have to worry about the devils in the sky finding out.
The main reason was that the machine gun battalion of the new regiment did not bring it, and the two artillery companies of the 1st and 2nd battalions had a total of only 8 machine guns.
Of course, the two battalions together have more than 120 light machine guns, plus these 8 machine guns, and they will not be afraid of the devil's planes.
However, the new group is a low-altitude devil plane and a high-altitude fight, which can avoid trying not to fight if you don't fight.
Five devil planes swept by from a low altitude and found the corpses of the Kwantung Army all over the ground, but they did not find the Eighth Road.
At that moment, the five planes were scattered under the command of Ryuichi Kato to look for the traces of the Eighth Road, but they still found nothing, so they flapped their wings and flew back to Taiyuan.
……
The headquarters of the First Army.
Toshimatsu Kasai shouted a report with an ugly face and walked into the commander's office.
Snapping his feet together, he reported:
"Your Excellency Commander, Kato Daizuo has sent back the news that the battle of Chenjiagou has ended, all the jade of the Kono Brigade of the Kwantung Army has been shattered, and the aviation has not found any trace of the Eighth Road!"
"Yaga!" Yoshio Shinozuka was speechless in shock at first, then flipped over the chessboard, drew his katana and slashed the table to pieces.
Yoshio Shinozuka's sword proficiency +0.5.
At this time, he finally remembered why he was so familiar with Chen Jiagou.
At the beginning of the year, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army of the two squadrons were ambushed by the Eighth Route in Chenjiagou and all the jade was shattered.
Later, after an investigation by the intelligence department, it was Li Yunlong's new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army that killed the two squadrons of the Kwantung Army.
In the same position again, an elite brigade of the Kwantung Army today was also shattered.
Don't tell me, Li Yunlong did it again this time!
But often the more afraid of something, the more something.
Nanshan Hideyoshi analyzed with a gloomy face: "Your Excellency General, the Eighth Route Army of the elite brigade of the Kwantung Army can be completely annihilated so quickly with 2,000 troops, and only the new regiment of the 386th Brigade has the ability to do this in the Eighth Route, it must be Li Yunlong's doing." ”
"Baga, Li Yunlong!" Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly erupted, turned around angrily and slammed a blue and white porcelain vase.
Yoshio Shinozuka's sword proficiency +0.5.
