Jinbei.

Pre-ambush position of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Faming, who received a telegram from the regimental headquarters, ordered the soldiers to rest in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, he led the soldiers towards the ambush point Miaoergou.

There weren't many devils patrolling the railroad, and there weren't many turrets or bunkers nearby.

In about an hour, a small armored train patrols by.

After the patrol car passed, the 7th Battalion of the New 1st Regiment Division, under the leadership of Zhao Youliang, headed towards the No. 4 hill opposite.

It was not long before the battalions and regiments were again ambushed on the hills on both sides of the railway.

Before dawn, the sky began to rain continuously, and the soldiers' clothes were soon soaked with the autumn rain, but all the warriors remained motionless.

Soon, the 716th Regiment, which was responsible for blocking the attack, also received news that it had arrived at the designated place.

There are not many devils in Gaoyang County, there is only one devil squadron and hundreds of puppet troops, but there are still a lot of devils in Datong, in addition to the disabled 3rd Brigade, there are also devils from an infantry wing transferred from the Mongolian army.

About five or six thousand people guarded Datong, because Datong was an important material transit base for the Japanese army's sweep of northwest Shanxi.

There are a large number of war materials hoarded in Datong, and the devils have prepared 100,000 people this time for the war materials that have been continuously swept for more than a month.

However, Okamura Ningji, the old devil, was very cautious, his eggs were not put in one basket, half of the war materials were in Datong, and half of the war materials were in Taiyuan.

Originally, the task of the two battalions of the 6th and 7th Divisions was to ambush the logistics supply line of the devils, the troops of the 6th Division ambushed the devil's transport team from Datong, and the troops of the 7th Division ambushed the devil's transport team from Taiyuan.

But I didn't expect that the devils would transfer the heavy artillery wing from Manchuria to the northwest of Shanxi.

As a result, Li Yunlong had no choice but to send two battalions, the 6th Division and the 7th Division, to the north of Jin to ambush the devil's heavy artillery wing and infantry wing.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong had foresight, otherwise it would have been difficult to accomplish this task with just the three regiments of the 2nd Independent Brigade.

It's getting dark.

Wang Faming looked at the watch in his hand, and the time had come to half past six.

Calculating the time, the devil's convoy should be almost there.

At this moment, the high-power walkie-talkie next to the correspondent came with the sound of electricity, and he quickly picked up the microphone and whispered:

"This is Command!"

"What did you say?"

"Okay, I'll report to the battalion commander!"

After hanging up the call, the correspondent reported to Wang Faming: "Report to the battalion commander, the scout has just reported that the devil's convoy has arrived, the distance is 13 kilometers, 2 heavy armored trains, 2 trains!" ”

Wang Faming's expression was shocked, and his eyes were fierce: "It's finally here, pass on my order, and all regiments and battalions are ready to fight!" ”

As the correspondent passed orders to the regimental and battalion headquarters in the walkie-talkie.

The order of the regimental headquarters and the battalion headquarters was issued, and the platoon commanders of each squad immediately whispered orders to their squad platoons to prepare for battle.

The sound of the bolt suddenly rang out.

About 20 minutes later, all the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the ambush heard the sound of a train horn.

By this time it was already dawn.

After a while, a devil's heavily armored train appeared in view, and it drove towards Miaoergou with a puff.

This was followed by two Devil trains, and at the end there was a Devil Heavy Armored Train.

In terms of the firepower and troop configuration of the 5th Wing of the escort heavy artillery, if the two battalions of the new regiment did not participate in the ambush, it would be difficult for the 2nd Brigade to complete the task of blowing up the devil's heavy artillery.

……

The last Type 94 armored train was the Chasing Wind.

The Type 94 armored train has a total of 8 carriages and is equipped with 10 7.7mm heavy machine guns, 2 75mm anti-aircraft guns, and 2 105mm cannons.

The firepower is tough.

Although the firepower is strong and looks quite large, the armor protection is not strong, the armor thickness of the main body is 10 mm, and the thickness of the armor in the unimportant position is 6 mm.

Although the armor is not thick, such a big guy has a terrifying start, plus there is omnidirectional firepower.

It is really not easy for the Chinese army to attack it, let alone destroy it, and they have to walk around it when they see it.

But this one includes the new regiment, and last year Li Yunlong led his troops to destroy the devil's kamikaze armored train at Niangzi Pass with long-range shelling.

At this time.

In the command compartment of the Chasing Wind train, the commander of the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing, Takahashi Mitsuzo, and the commander of the 3rd Infantry Wing, Seiichi Yamashita, were sitting together drinking tea.

Takahashi Manzo said: "The 2nd Flying Division and the 6th Flying Regiment Ono Mennosuke Ozuo are my good friends, and before coming to North China, I heard him say that the more than 100 imperial planes of the 2nd Flying Division were all destroyed. ”

"So, this time we went to fight in Kannai, and there was no air support."

"Humph! I've heard about that, too. Yamashita Seiichi snorted coldly, "The Imperial Air Force is really a bunch of rubbish, and it was actually wiped out by more than 40 enemy planes. ”

As the wing commander of the 5th Infantry Wing of the 1st Division, Seiichi Yamashita was arrogant.

However, he has the ability to be arrogant, and the 1st Division, as the most elite division of the Japanese army, has first-class equipment and extremely strong combat effectiveness.

This time to North China to support the operation, although the duty of the 3rd Infantry Wing is to protect the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing, if there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he will definitely not give up.

Now he is only one step away from being promoted to major general.

"You can't say that." Takahashi Manzo said, "Almost all of the Imperial Air Forces participating in the air battle were shattered, and they did their best, but this group of enemy planes of unknown origin gave people a bit of a headache. ”

"If we are targeted by this group of enemy planes, I am afraid we will also have to suffer heavy losses."

"I think this is also the reason why General Okamura Ningji, let's set off from Zhangjiakou in the middle of the night."

The two Type 94 armored trains were equipped with four Type 88 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, and the other two military trains were also equipped with some 20-mm anti-aircraft guns.

Seiichi Yamashita didn't refute again, took a sip of hot tea, and only felt comfortable.

Now his mind is full of meritorious service, in addition to meritorious service or meritorious service, he can't wait to find the Eighth Route Army to fight immediately.

Takahashi Mitsuzo also picked up the teacup and blew on the tea that had just been brewed with boiling water, but at this time, there was a sudden explosion in his ears, which made his hands tremble, and the boiling water and the skin of his mouth came into close contact.

"Shhh

The teacup fell on the floor of the Type 94 armored train, and Takahashi Mitsuzo screamed, and then couldn't help but curse.

"Immediately ask the Flag Wind armored train, what happened?"

Although Seiichi Yamashita was crazy, his reaction speed was not slow, and he only judged in an instant that it must have been an accident with the Qifeng armored train.

"Moximoxi..."

"Alert!"

"Enemy attack, prepare for battle!"

The armored train of the Chasing Wind immediately began to slow down, and the devils in each carriage also reacted quickly.

A devil communication soldier reported: "Report to the big left, the flag wind can't be contacted!" ”

"Nani?" Yamashita Seiichi's face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered, "Immediately report this matter to the North China Front Command and ask for tactical guidance!" ”

"Hey!"

The Devil Messenger picked up the radio and began to call.

At this moment, there was a sudden dense explosion and gunfire like fried beans ahead, and the convoy was ambushed by the enemy!

Takahashi's face changed drastically, but Seiichi Yamashita was bright.

"Takahashi-kun, the opportunity for meritorious service has come!"

Judging from the sound of gunfire and explosions, there are many people coming from the eight routes, but the Japanese army is not vegetarian, not to mention that they are still troops of the 1st Division.

The 1st Division, which had just finished the special exercise, was at its peak in terms of combat effectiveness and morale.

"It's the Eighth Route Army ambushing us!"

At this time, the devil who was in charge of observation on the upper floor of the command carriage ran down to report to Seiichi Yamashita and Takahashi Mitsuzo.

"I knew it was Eight Roads!"

"Order, 5th Infantry Wing, counterattack on all fronts!"

Makoto Yamashita was furious, his eyes wide.

A group of peasant troops and Tsuchihachi who couldn't even get together their guns dared to ambush the troops of the 1st Division, the most elite of the Japanese Empire, and they didn't know how to write dead characters?

Yamashita Seiichi still has some understanding of the Eighth Route Army, and units such as the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New Second Regiment are relatively capable troops, especially the New First Regiment, which has a record of defeating the Japanese Army's second-line divisions.

But the other Eighth Route troops, Seiichi Yamashita doesn't care about it yet.

At this time, the new 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army were surrounded by five divisions of the Locust Army.

The 8th Route of the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing, which ambushed the 8th Infantry Wing, must not have been the troops of the 3rd Regiment of the 8th Route.

Since it is not the Eighth Route Force of these three regiments, then Yamashita Seiichi is ready to kill, let this group of Earth Eighth Route see what is called the most elite unit of the Japanese army.

"Hey!"

The devil messenger paused, turned around and went to pick up the radio intercom to give orders.

Afterwards, Seiichi Yamashita and Mitsuzo Takahashi walked briskly to the second floor of the command compartment, ready to observe the battle.

……

Rewind the clock to a minute ago.

With 2 armored trains and 2 trains of the devils into the ambush circle.

Battalion commander Wang Faming gave the order to attack without hesitation.

When the guard car of the devil's first flag-loaded wind A train drove to the explosives point, the engineer soldier in charge of detonating it turned the handle of the detonator modified by the phone in his hand and pressed it again and again.

The electricity is instantly transmitted to the detonator buried under the rails, which produces explosive energy and instantly detonates the explosives.

The command car in the middle of the devil's heavily armored train suddenly burst out with a loud noise that shook the mountains and mountains.

A visible shockwave spread out in all directions, and a large ball of fireball and smoke rose from the ground.

The devil's command car was blown to pieces, and the fragments of the carriage and the broken limbs of the devil fell one after another.

The tracks were blown off, and the other cars of the Qifeng armored train derailed and broke down to slide forward for a while under the action of inertia, but did not roll over.

In order not to be exposed, the fighters hid at first on the back of the mountain.

With the sound of explosions, the horn of the ambush attack was sounded.

The soldiers climbed to the commanding heights from the back of the hill and fired fiercely at the devil convoy!

Suddenly the sound of gunfire sounded like fried beans in the ravine, and the devils pushed the car door and jumped down, and under the dense fire, they went down in rows like cutting wheat in an instant.

Boom boom...

The bazooka bazooka in the hands of the bazooka soldier fired, and the trails hit the devil's Qifeng armored train one after another.

Although there are no mountain guns and howitzers, the power of the Bazooka rocket is comparable to that of a 105-mm howitzer, plus excellent armor-piercing ability.

This little devil's thin-skinned armored train, in front of the rockets, is no different from the paper lake.

In addition, the devil's armored train was derailed by the bombing and stopped there, and the distance of several tens of meters was like shooting a target for the bazooka soldiers.

And the devils in the armored train who were not killed were still in a state of confusion, and just after reacting to their senses, they were blown to pieces in the fierce explosion.

Not long after, the Qifeng armored train was bombarded by 10 bazookas, and the flames burst into flames.

Thorough reimbursement.

And at this time, the 20-mm machine gun was erected and hit a shuttle.

"Let's go, go and support the brother troops of the 5th Regiment!"

The heavily armored train had been destroyed, the tracks had been blown up, and the platoon commander in charge of leading the team gave the order.

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of the company commander, the bazooka corps and machine artillery men hurriedly shifted their positions and came to the No. 2 heights.

The 1st and 2nd heights were ambushed by the 4th and 5th regiments of the 2nd Brigade respectively, and the main task was to deal with the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing of the devils.

At this time, the battle had already begun, although the equipment of the 4th and 5th regiments was relatively poor, and the firepower was relatively sparse, but the trains were basically full of devils' artillery, and the individual equipment of the devil's artillery was even worse.

The 5th Wing of the Devil Heavy Artillery has a total of more than 2,300 people, including the headquarters of the wing, 3 artillery brigades, and this time it carries 20 150mm cannons and 10 240mm heavy cannons.

All of these cannons were in uniron compartments, but they were wrapped in tarpaulins, but from the outline, it was clear at a glance that they were definitely cannons under the tarpaulin.

At this time, the artillerymen of the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing pushed open the iron door and jumped off the train one after another, but they were greeted by rows of bullets.

The devil artillery with guns set up their guns and counterattacked towards the hill.

The bombardiers of the 4th and 5th regiments threw grenades downwards to suppress.

Most of these grenades were produced in the Huangyadong Arsenal, and with the production line of smokeless gunpowder provided by Boss Chen, the power of the grenades produced by the Huangyadong Arsenal was greatly improved.

Not only is it powerful, but the output is also greatly improved, and it is no longer a border area that everyone dislikes.

Boom boom...

Explosions continued to rise around the train, accompanied by shrapnel, and the sound of explosions and the screams of devils mingled.

……

The 5th Wing of the Devil Infantry was responsible for dealing with the 6th and 7th Battalions of the 6th Division of the New 1st Regiment.

The total strength of the 5th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was more than 3,700 people, all of whom were on one train.

The devils reacted very quickly, and the moment the train stopped, the train door was pushed open, but no devils jumped down.

At the door of the carriage were the machine guns and rapid-fire guns of the devils, and the moment the train doors were pushed open, the machine gunners and gunners of the devils immediately opened fire on the hills on both sides.

At the same time, the 20-mm anti-aircraft gun and the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the roof of the train also fired simultaneously.

Since the 6th and 7th battalions had just come up from the back of the mountain, most of the firepower had not yet been deployed, which really allowed the devils to suppress the firepower.

Taking advantage of the fact that the fire was suppressed for a moment, the devil's infantry screamed and jumped off the train.
