After occupying Niangzi Pass, Kong Jie did not forget the main task of their independent regiment. In this Zhengtai railway raid, each unit has its own goal.

For example, the comrades of the Fifth Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, who were responsible for attacking the railway station this time, also needed to carry out the blasting and destruction of the station later.

On the side of the independent regiment, it is necessary to blow up the railway bridge on the east side of the pass.

If this transport line can be successfully destroyed, the devils will not be able to resume traffic within three months.

At this time, the soldiers in the regiment were very busy, and after the capture of this place, the commander of the third battalion found that there was an ammunition depot next to the devil's barracks, and there were also a lot of weapons and equipment stored in it.

Although it didn't have the barrel cannon that was most needed for this mission, the grenadier canister and melon grenade could be supplemented. The soldiers carried a lot of supplies for this operation, but as long as they could handle the weapons, they would never have too much.

Seeing the commander of the third battalion who was directing the work not far away, Kong Jie called him over to assign the next task, he pointed to the bridge looming in the distance and the facilities in the pass and said:

"You divide a company of fighters to accompany the sappers in action! Take a part of your comrades to blow up the bridge! Another part of the comrades went to sabotage the devil's other facilities! ”

"Remember one thing! None of the telephone lines are allowed to be left for the devil! The telephone pole burned me too! ”

"Take away the seized supplies as soon as you can! Be atmospheric, don't take any rags to your home, and if you can't take it away, it'll blow it up for me! ”

The reason why I say this is not because Kong Jieyan has a low master, but mainly because the speed of the troop change is very fast, and even he, the backbone regiment, can achieve seventy percent magic weapons.

A large number of models of equipment of different calibers will only make the logistics department full of pressure. And carrying too many things at this time will even reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops.

If only the independent regiment acted alone, then the equipment in the arsenal would definitely have to be taken away as much as possible. After all, even if they don't use it themselves, they can find opportunities to equip nearby county brigades and district teams.

But now is the big battle of the whole army, and carrying too much supplies will affect the mobility of the troops. And considering that the engagement could be relatively long, they themselves brought a lot of ammunition before departure.

That's why Kong Jie ordered that except for the necessary support weapons, the rest should not be used.

But the telephone line is different, it is very important to both the devil and the Eighth Route Army.

The main reason why the enemy is very mobile is because there is a telephone to communicate in time. With perfect communication conditions, whenever the Eighth Route Army attacked a certain point, the nearby enemy would immediately reinforce it.

These telephone lines can also be used after they are taken back, and the army has an establishment of telephone soldiers.

These unknown comrades are like carrier pigeons on the battlefield, often risking artillery fire and stray bullets to set up communications between units at all levels.

As for the destruction of bridges, these were trained before the war, and the temporarily transferred sappers were more than capable of doing the job.

The bridge on the east side of the Kanto is a bit peculiar in that the engineers of the Gallic Chicken used a variety of materials during its construction.

The first half of the bridge is made up of six consecutive stone arches, while the second half is made up of a mixture of iron, stone and wood.

The third battalion commander was very scientific in his plan of destruction, and he decided to place the explosives in positions that were easy to place and difficult for the enemy to repair.

For example, the base of the bridge and the arched iron truss and iron plate truss.

The wooden parts of the structure still need to be set on fire, and if it weren't for the lack of time, he would even want to send someone to sawn it down to achieve a completely irreparable result.

While the 3rd Battalion went to sabotage with sappers, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Independent Regiment were checking the equipment they were carrying, and they were ready to go down the mountain at any time to help the friendly forces of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region attack the railway station.

Kong Jie stood on the commanding heights and observed the battlefield with a telescope. The attack of the fraternal troops did not go very well, and the pillboxes in the railway station stopped the pace of their regimental attack.

Small-caliber mortars did limited damage to these fortifications, and the 5th Regiment had to send commandos to blast them with explosive packs, which was difficult and time-consuming.

But now only one of the four forts remained, and the low-cost brick and wood defensive structure was almost vulnerable to the heavy yellow explosives.

Originally, according to the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the railway station was built. But the accident still happened, and in the course of the battle between the two sides, a military column suddenly drove along Zhengtai Road.

On this train were 800 devils who were preparing to go to Shimen, and for some reason, they were not stopped by the troops who destroyed the railway these days.

And they seemed to have received accurate news, knowing that the Eighth Route Army was attacking the entire line of Zhengtai Road, so the devils were ready to fight on the train.

When it was discovered that there was an exchange of fire near Niangziguan Station, these devil soldiers immediately joined the battle group.

Coupled with the original defenders, the enemy facing the fifth regiment now has a brigade. The only good news is that the other side doesn't have any heavy weapons, just pure infantry put together on a makeshift basis, and the degree of coordination is also very average.

But even so, the devils with support still burst out with strong combat effectiveness, and they even recaptured some of the peripheral positions occupied by the Fifth Regiment.

If it weren't for the fact that the commander of the first battalion desperately led the assault team and pressed the enemy back with the advantage of fire provided by the submachine guns, it is really difficult to say whether the two sides are evenly matched now.

Seeing this, Kong Jie led his troops to the battlefield below. In the field command post of the Fifth Regiment, a group of commanders and fighters saw Regiment Commander Chen, who was a little anxious.

Finally waiting for the arrival of his own reinforcements, the other party grabbed Kong Jie's arm and said the biggest problem now.

"Old Kong! You've come just in time! Quickly move out the infantry guns of your regiment and fire them at the turrets in front! ”

"The little devils of the dog day are still sharp-eyed, and we were discovered by their patrols during the ambush, which caused the battle to start early."

"It's good that it's going well over there, otherwise I'd be a sinner for the ages."

Without being reminded by Regiment Commander Chen, Kong Jie knew that only infantry artillery could break the game at this time. Whether attacking or retreating, the bunker was stuck in the most uncomfortable position for them.

Counting the time, he beckoned to the rear and motioned for the artillerymen to push the big baby up. On the mountain road just now, a whole cannon could not be brought down, and the soldiers could only disassemble the cannon into parts and carry it off.

During the time when the two regiment commanders were talking, the artillery platoon of the second battalion had already assembled the reinforced version of the Type 92 infantry gun.

The fighters first aimed the 78-mm muzzle at the area where the fortress was located, and then adjusted the high and low planes and the direction machine according to the previous experience of firing the cannon.

After receiving the signal from his own regiment commander, the artillery platoon commander opened the bolt with his own hands. If someone looks into the barrel of the gun at the position of the loading port, they can also find the rifling engraved by Wu Sixue's own hand.

After receiving the shell from his deputy, the platoon commander loaded it in, then closed the bolt and prepared to fire.

"Fire!"

Under Kong Jie's order, the platoon commander pulled the fire rope hard, and the shell directly hit the fortress that had plagued the Fifth Regiment for dozens of minutes. After seeing this scene, Regiment Commander Chen immediately showed a shocked expression, and no one could refuse the happiness brought by artillery.

"Fast forward to Project 155 or Project 261 and let's make happy dogs together."

At the moment when the target was determined, the artillery platoon of the independent regiment immediately took this only household belongings and shifted its position without looking back.

No one knows if the devils in the train station have heavy weapons, and if this big treasure is destroyed by the enemy, it is estimated that the soldiers of the whole regiment will not be able to spare him, the platoon commander.

Just as the two regiment commanders were about to give the order to attack, a burst of exclamations came from the combat zone. Kong Jie hurriedly leaned on the chest wall and took out his telescope to check the situation on the front line.

I saw that from the gate of Niangziguan Railway Station, two 95-type light tanks slowly drove out.

But it is clear that there is some problem with the light chariot in the mouth of these devils, and the body that was originally very agile is now full of frustration when driving, and it can't even turn sensitively.

In fact, there are 13 tanks and armored vehicles in the garage, but now only these two 95 light tanks can still be driven, and their power units have not been completely repaired.

But even so, the 37 mm caliber main gun and two 7.7 mm machine guns on this light tank still brought a great sense of oppression to the fighters.

And the devil also knows that his tank armor is very fragile, as evidenced by last year's Battle of Nomenkan.

Even a rifle can disable it if the angle is tricky enough. So around this light tank, there are a lot of infantry following the action.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these infantry have not practiced infantry coordination. They are distributed in vulnerable locations such as behind the heat dissipation cover and on tracks, and simply use the flesh as "reactive armor".

As soon as they exited the train station, the two light tanks began to wreak havoc on the battlefield. With the grenadiers and mortars of the defenders in the rear, the battle line was pushed back step by step.

The fighters of the 5th regiment tried to fight back with the weapons in their hands, but neither rifles nor machine guns could make a few sparks in the armor of the tank.

It is not that the comrades did not think of counterattacking with 60 forced in their hands, but the mortar itself is a curved weapon with limited accuracy, and the killing and wounding mainly rely on shrapnel.

Even if the pillar was allowed to fire at this time, even if it could hit the weakest top of the Type 95 light tank armor, it would be difficult to cause particularly serious damage.

Commander Chen watched the front-line soldiers being defeated and retreated, and he was so distressed that he even bit his lips. At this moment, the only solution he could think of was the infantry gun of the independent regiment.

When he turned back and was about to discuss with the people of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie had already ordered the artillery platoon to move to the side of the tank, but neither of them knew whether the Type 92 infantry gun could penetrate the devil's light tank.

Mainly because this thing was originally a light support artillery, and the short barrel was not the material for fighting tanks at first glance.

Although none of them had similar experience, the concept that the barrel was long enough to pierce through the armor was known to the two veterans with rich combat experience.

"Lao Chen! I can try it out with a shot here! But after firing, you will definitely be targeted by devils! ”

"No matter what the result is, there is a good chance that there will be no chance to fire a second shot! We've got to figure it out! ”

Commander Chen of the Fifth Regiment nodded, after all, they had already knocked out a pillbox with this cannon before. The devils must be on guard, maybe their artillery is waiting somewhere.

Suddenly, the guards on the side stood up suddenly. He then grabbed the explosives bag and rushed towards the battlefield ahead, which was the best he could think of in the current situation.

But the warrior didn't rush forward blindly, he already had a rough plan in mind.

Although he is only a guard, he is very serious about his studies on weekdays, and he likes to read some various books in his private time, which makes him have a certain understanding of tanks.

In addition to the weak armor of the devil's bean chariot, there are certain blind spots in the horizon of firepower.

Take the Type 95 Light Tank as an example, anything within five meters of it, the car group is in a state where it can neither be seen nor hit. When the range is extended to 20 meters, the members of the car can see it, but they can't hit it.

What's more, it's dark now, and the devil's searchlights and flares can't take care of every corner of the battlefield.

So theoretically, as long as he is careful enough to move along the way, he is likely to complete the blasting mission.

"This is the data given in the "Militia Explosive Mine Teaching Material"."

Of course, the devil also knows this problem.

Therefore, those devils who are near the tank must not only play the role of protecting weak positions, but also take on the responsibility of attacking the blind spots of the tank's field of vision.

But the guard chose to trust his regimental commander and his allies, and he was convinced that his comrades would definitely create a chance for him to explode.

Everyone lived up to his trust, when the soldiers on the battlefield saw someone approaching the enemy tank with a bag of explosives.

All of them spontaneously launched a fierce attack with the weapons in their hands. Suppress the devil's infantry with firepower and cut off its connection with the tank.

Under such cover, he jumped forward in a low profile, approaching the devil's tank from the flank. Then, with a bold and swift movement, he touched a position two meters away from the tank.

The guard saw the timing and threw the explosives accurately at the front of the tank while pulling the fire.

He then quickly pulled a distance of three meters to lie down and hide, and even drew the shell gun from his waist, and prepared for battle to eliminate the enemy tank members.

With a huge explosion, the little devil's Type 95 light tank was scrapped on the spot, and none of the crew members inside survived.

At the same time, the reinforced Type 92 infantry gun of the Independent Regiment also hit another light tank. Although it was a direct-fire weapon, the hit rate was so high that the platoon commander of the artillery platoon was a little unbelievable, knowing that it was dark now.

It turned out that the two regiment commanders had many worries, and the thickest armor of the Type 95 light tank was only 12 mm. A 78-caliber barrel cannon is also deliberately around the side, how can it not penetrate a small bean dice.
