What about war materiel?

was questioned by Toda Yoshino, and the mood of seeing Yin Sanxiong again was suddenly very uncomfortable.

The empire's war materials are not abundant, and the resources are poor, which is half of the war materials.

It may not be a big deal to be destroyed, but if it falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, then he will be in great trouble.

Seeing Yin Sanxiong's face ruthlessly: "Immediately send artillery units to shell the combat materials at the station and blow up the combat materials, even if they are destroyed, they can't be obtained by Li Yunlong!" ”

There are a lot of shells, explosives, and bullets in the war materiel, and as long as the shells can hit the explosives, a series of explosions will be generated.

Thousands of tons of war materiel were killed in a row, and it was absolutely possible to wipe the entire station off the map.

The distance between the railway station and Datong City is about 4 km.

If the artillery brigade of the 3rd Brigade was still there, it would be possible to shell the station from a distance only by being inside the city or on the city walls.

But the problem was that the artillery brigade of the 3rd Brigade had been completely wiped out.

Now the only way to do this is to let the artillerymen carry Type 92 infantry guns and Type 97 90mm mortars out of the city to try to shell the train stations full of war supplies.

The maximum firing range of the Type 92 infantry gun is 2788 meters, while the maximum range of the Type 97 is slightly larger, reaching 3800 meters.

But now it is dark and there is no light, and even if you stand on the city wall, you can't see the target in the direction of the train station.

So the artillery had to be close to the station.

As for the squadron leader in the railway station, without an order, even if the entire squadron was shattered, he did not dare to blow up the combat materials.

This batch of war materiel is more important than their lives.

"Hey!" Toda bowed his head reluctantly.

……

Taiyuan.

Headquarters of the First Army of the North China Front.

The commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, was woken up by his communications staff officer.

After reading the telegram, Iwamatsu Yoshio's face quickly became gloomy.

A large number of Eighth Route cavalry were found around Datong City, and a group of Eighth Route cavalry was attacking Datong Station......

There are various indications that the new regiment of the Eighth Route wants to attack Datong and completely annihilate the 3rd Brigade.

Seeing Yin Sanxiong again, why did the cavalry and attack troops of the Eighth Route only find out when they came to Datong City?

But.

Iwamatsu Yoshio didn't think too much about it, and quickly agreed to Remimi Yin Sanxiong's request, ordered Remimi Yin Sanxiong to immediately lead his troops to the north, and gave Zaimi Yin Sanxiong an order to destroy the war materials at Datong Station.

The communications staff officer drafted a telegram, handed it to Iwamatsu Yoshio for signature, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

After the communications staff officer left, Iwamatsu Yoshio had no intention of sleeping, and called the chief of staff, the deputy chief of staff, Yamamoto Kazuki, and a group of combat staff officers to the war room.

"Gentlemen, I just received a telegram from the commander of the 3rd Brigade to see Major General Yin Sanxiong again, and Li Yunlong is about to lead his troops to attack Datong."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yoshio Iwamatsu dropped a bombshell on everyone.

As expected, when all the devil officers heard this, they were all in a commotion, and their faces were full of solemn expressions.

There are not as many thickened reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets around Datong as there are around Taiyuan.

The current Datong is almost an isolated city, and the 3rd Brigade stationed in Datong has only more than 1,000 people, how can this be the opponent of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

Iwamatsu Yoshio continued: "The Eighth Route Cavalry has been found around Datong City, and there is also an Eighth Route Infantry, which is attacking Datong Station! ”

Chief of Staff Hanayamasa said.

"Your Excellency, Commander!"

"Li Yunlong's goal is obvious."

"He wants to seize the war materials at Datong Station, capture Datong and the 3rd Brigade of the total annihilation."

Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded, everyone can figure this out.

What everyone can't understand is why the cavalry of the new regiment of the Eighth Route quietly arrived under the city of Datong, while the 3rd Brigade was unaware?

Iwamatsu Yoshio said again: "I have ordered the 3rd Brigade to immediately turn north, and apply to the North China Front Headquarters, and the Mongolian army will send cavalry troops to meet the 3rd Brigade. ”

The devil officers breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Kazuki Yamamoto sighed.

The 3rd Brigade is finished ...

Yamamoto Kazuki naturally saw that a large number of Eighth Route cavalry appeared around Datong City, and Li Yunlong's purpose was to let the cavalry surround the city wall on all sides to prevent the 3rd Brigade from escaping.

The commander of the 3rd Brigade saw that Yin Sanxiong did not evacuate immediately, and stupidly asked the headquarters for instructions.

It's just looking for death!

This telegram went back and forth, and I am afraid that the cavalry of the Eighth Route has completed the siege of Datong City.

Once the 3rd Brigade fails to rush out, when the infantry of the 8th New Regiment arrives, the 3rd Brigade will probably be unable to escape.

I finally waited for an opportunity to be a brigade commander, but it was gone?

……

At the same time.

The east gate of Datong City was opened.

A devil three-wheeled truck drove out first, followed by three devil 94 trucks.

On the truck were artillery shells and Type 92 infantry guns, as well as Type 97 mortars.

On the side bucket of the tricycle and the roof of the truck, there is a Taisho 11-year light machine gun.

Behind the three Type 94 trucks, there was a squadron of devils, and this squadron of devils was responsible for covering the artillery shelling of the station.

As long as there is a Type 92 infantry artillery shell or a Type 97 mortar shell, it will enter the station from the direction of Datong City.

The defenders in the station, even if they did not receive the order, would know what it meant to see Yin Sanxiong again, and they would order the destruction of the war materials.

However.

Three cavalry companies had already completed an ambush outside the eastern city.

At present, the first battalion of the cavalry and the second battalion of the cavalry of the new regiment have a total of 14 cavalry companies.

The mission of the two cavalry battalions this time was to be outside the north, east and west cities, and there was only one cavalry company outside the south city.

Because once the devil escapes from the direction of Nancheng, he will rush headlong into the arms of a new army of tens of thousands.

Outside Dongcheng, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, Ma Renxing, commanded the three cavalry companies.

As soon as the devil left the city, 300 meters close to the city wall, the 2nd Cavalry Scout Cavalry spotted the devil.

Immediately, the scout cavalry immediately turned on the walkie-talkie and called to Ma Renxing: "Call the battalion headquarters, call the battalion headquarters." ”

The equipment of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion is almost indistinguishable from that of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, and the communications equipment is also fully equipped.

For this battle, Li Yunlong also advanced the equipment of a cavalry battalion to Boss Chen in advance.

Even the sabers were all replaced with all the same cloud dragon knives.

The battalion headquarters correspondent of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion responded with a walkie-talkie: "This is the battalion headquarters, please speak!" ”

The scout immediately said: "From the direction of the east gate, a group of devils came out, about a squadron, with a three-wheeled and three trucks. ”

"Roger!"

After hanging up the call, the battalion headquarters correspondent immediately reported the situation to battalion commander Ma Renxing.

Ma Renxing's son Ma Chengfeng on the side heard this, and immediately turned over on the horse, pulled out the cloud dragon knife with a brush, and made a fighting posture.

Seeing this, Ma Renxing scolded: "What are you doing? Give Lao Tzu down! ”

"What are you yelling at me for?" Ma Chengfeng was unconvinced, "Isn't this going to be a war?" ”

Ma Renxing tore Ma Chengfeng off the horse's back: "How can you fight like this, it's a shame for Lao Tzu!" ”

"I know you don't look down on me!" Ma Chengfeng was still unconvinced, "I am not unfamiliar with your cavalry battalion, I want to go to the sword squadron!" ”

"Just you, you still want to go to the Sword Squadron?"

Ma Renxing smiled, turned around and looked at the cavalrymen who turned over and made a fighting posture and said, "Whatever you do, come down, come down." ”

A veteran who had followed Ma Renxing for many years asked, "Battalion commander, are we going to let the devil go?" ”

The big guys all judged that this group of devils must have gone to reinforce Datong Station, and Ma Renxing naturally knew that of course he couldn't let the devils succeed.

Ma Renxing patted the carbine in his hand and said fiercely: "The guy in our hands now is not as good as before, don't always think about the previous tactics, it's time to let the devil taste the ferocious firepower." ”

The Jizhong Cavalry Regiment retreated in order to cover the retreat of the common people and brother troops.

In the form of cavalry cluster charge, kill the devil's defense line, and tear a hole open.

The cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses, with two-thirds of casualties.

If the cavalry regiment had today's equipment, it would have suffered a third of casualties at most, and it would have been relatively easy to complete the task.

"Regiment commander, no, battalion commander, how will this battle be fought?"

A company commander asked Ma Renxing.

Ma Renxing said with a cold smile:

"Set up the mortar, and when the devil comes, fire a few rounds first."

"When the devil is in chaos, let's ride up again."

"The cavalry with submachine guns rushed to the front, swept the devils first, and the cavalry behind used the cloud dragon knife to harvest corn!"

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the artillery could see the target clearly, and it was also convenient for the cavalry to play.

The gunfire on the other side of the station had thinned out, and it was clear that the battle was nearing its end.

With Ma Renxing's order, six 60-mm mortars and four 82-mm mortars were quickly erected.

The muzzle of the gun is pointed in the direction of Datong City.

The 2nd Cavalry Battalion has a total of seven cavalry companies, including six regular cavalry companies, one is a cavalry artillery company, the cavalry artillery company is very luxurious in equipment, in addition to being equipped with cloud dragon knives and carbines, it is mainly equipped with 16 mortars, including 10 60 mm mortars and 6 82 mm mortars.

It's just that the other 6 were taken by other gunners to the direction of the other city gates.

Last time, when the new regiment defeated the 10th Division, it captured those thickened pillboxes and turrets, earned more than 1,000 machine guns, handed over half to the headquarters, and gave 100 machine guns each to the new second regiment and the independent regiment.

Of the remaining more than 300 machine guns, Li Yunlong replaced them with more than 100 mortars.

As soon as the 10 mortars were erected, the devil's team appeared in view.

The first devil three-wheeled car drove slowly, as if cautiously searching forward.

The truck had a crooked machine gun mounted on the roof of the truck's cabin.

"1 km away, target devil team, ten rapid fire!"

The commander of the mounted artillery company put down the Zeiss binoculars and said in a cold tone: "Little devil, see that grandpa can't kill you this time!" ”

The commander of the mounted artillery company was also a sharpshooter, but the cavalry regiment had only two mortars, and he was responsible for operating one of them, almost pointing where to fight.

Since following Ma Renxing to the new group, he has finally seen what the world is, and he can't describe the new group with so much wealth that he can't describe it.

The commander of the mounted artillery company was glad that he could become a cavalry company commander of the new regiment, able to command 16 mortars in combat.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mortar shell in the loader's hand fell into the chamber.
