Chapter 120 Breaking Attack (2)

Early the next morning, the soldiers who had finished breakfast were all ready to go and stood on the training ground in high spirits. A mountain cannon was placed in front of the team. After the commander Liu Hua announced the departure, the regiment leader Sun Xingbang led

Following one regiment, a new regiment of more than 3,000 people marched out of the military camp.

Under the guidance of a cavalry company in the avant-garde, more than 3,000 horses took the uninhabited trails and directed their troops towards Yangquan County along the Zhengtai line. After various investigations, after the Japanese occupied Yangquan County, they built a large-scale

After all the supplies shipped from Tianjin were transported to Yangquan, they were distributed to the Japanese troops in various strongholds in Shanxi. Therefore, Yangquan had a large amount of supplies for the Japanese army. Of course, Sun Xingbang did not have the guts to use his 3,000 troops to attack the Japanese army.

Guarded county seat.

The purpose of Sun Xingbang's trip was to destroy the railways, with Yangquan as the center, to conduct a large number of attacks on the main railway lines along the Zhengtai Line, so that the Japanese army would not be able to transport supplies and soldiers by railway in the near future...

After two days of silent march, the troops finally arrived in the Yangquan area. Sun Xingbang led two regiments to choose a camp in a deep mountain less than ten miles away from the main railway line, because only with the cover of the mountains, the troops could

It can avoid detection by Japanese planes.

Soon, all the scouts of the two regiments were sent out, and even the attached cavalry company was sent out as scouts. However, the effect was very fast. On the second night, nearly 50 people with Yangquan as the center were dispatched.

The situation of the main railway line was clearly revealed. Even the garrison status of all strongholds was clearly understood. Soon, with the efforts of the staff, a map along the Zhengtai Railway showing the deployment of enemy troops was placed.

In front of Sun Xingbang.

Due to the frequent activities of the Eighth Route Army in the rear of the Japanese army in the past two months, the Japanese army's logistics transportation has been interrupted many times. In order to prevent further attacks, the Japanese have strengthened their vigilance. The Japanese have deployed a certain amount of additional troops at each stronghold, especially along the railway lines.

, each stronghold has at least one squadron of troops. And on the railway, there are constant Japanese armored patrol vehicles. Facing these armors, ordinary infantry can be said to be powerless, except for using the 9 mountain cannons of the mountain artillery company.

Facing the Zhengtai Railway, which is heavily guarded by the enemy, how should we complete the combat mission assigned by the commander? Sun Xingbang fell into deep thought, and several other leaders of the headquarters also fell into deep thought...

But soon, after the discussion of many staff officers, a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain appeared in Sun Xingbang's hands. He used a certain amount of troops to attack the enemy's material transfer station, and let the Japanese along the railway go to reinforce it. The main force took the opportunity to destroy the railway in large numbers.

…

Seeing this thrilling and practical combat plan, Sun Xingbang quickly nodded in agreement. The combat plan was then sent to the hands of the six battalion commanders below, "take one regiment, one battalion, new regiment, one battalion, and mountain artillery company as the offensive."

The troops in the city, led by the leader of the new regiment, rushed to Yangquan County. All the remaining troops were led by Sun Xingbang himself to destroy the enemy's railway. The baggage company stayed at the garrison. The troops prepared dry food for two days and set off at 10 o'clock tonight. The assault troops were launched first.

After the Japanese troops were mobilized to attack and lead the enemy along the railway line, the main force launched an attack. All scouts were assigned to various enemy strongholds to monitor the enemy's troop movements.

The two regiments, which had rested all day, quickly took action after receiving the order. The disassembled mountain artillery, carried by mules and horses, was as fast as the troops.

For these soldiers who had come from the Long March, the 10-mile journey was easily completed. In less than an hour, the soldiers could see the faint lights of Yangquan. After preliminary investigation, the commander of the new regiment

Shen Qinghua decided to set up a position two miles away from the county seat. The troops who received the order quickly hid themselves, and the soldiers of the mountain artillery company began to assemble the mountain artillery. At this time, the Japanese stationed a brigade of troops in Yangquan County, and

Several squads of heavy troops. And these troops are already very strong for the Chinese army.

Since a trainload of ammunition and supplies had just been transferred from Tianjin during the day, the Japanese army in the entire county had been busy nervously for a whole day. Now, except for the patrolling sentries, all the Japs had entered Mengxiang, but the Japs supply warehouse was in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking.

After being destroyed by people (especially the CCP guerrillas), the entire house was illuminated by several large searchlights. Such obvious lights certainly provided a good target for the soldiers of the artillery company. Although they knew that they were about to

What was bombed was the enemy's material warehouse, but none of the soldiers felt sorry. Because everyone knew that it was impossible to capture the county town with their own strength, so it was better to blow them all up and save them for the Japanese.

He went to harm the people.

Soon, twelve o'clock arrived. All nine mountain cannons were assembled, and all the muzzles were pointed at the enemy's material warehouse. The dark muzzles looked so deep under the dim light of the city. "Fire"

Seeing that the time was up, the leader of the new regiment gave a decisive order.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The nine-door mountain cannon roared, and instantly, there was a violent explosion in the city, and then, another group of nine cannonballs were fired.

The soldiers outside the city looked excitedly at the fireworks that continued to explode in the city. After all, it was rare for the soldiers to see such gorgeous fireworks. But the city was in chaos. Maybe it was the independence brigade's good luck.

, there were two artillery shells in the first group of artillery shells of the mountain artillery company, which happened to hit the warehouse where the Japanese army stacked ammunition. In an instant, the ammunition in the entire warehouse was detonated. One artillery shell exploded, blowing up the nearby artillery shells everywhere.

Then the flying artillery shells exploded again. The explosion of the artillery shells, bullets flying everywhere, and grenades shrouded the entire material transfer station. The most fortunate thing among them was that the explosion of the material warehouse accidentally

All the Japanese in a squadron were drowned.

It turned out that when he heard the first explosion from the nearby material warehouse, the squadron leader's first impression was that someone was attacking the material warehouse. He immediately summoned all combatants, picked up weapons and angrily rushed towards the material warehouse. However,

Just when they arrived, the ammunition stored in the entire warehouse began to explode. There were flying shells and grenades everywhere. A squadron of troops was surrounded before they could react...

Similarly, the sky-shattering explosions also alarmed everyone in Yangquan County. From the first explosion, the entire county was on alert. The Japanese captain looked blankly at the material warehouse where explosions continued to occur, "Eight

Hey, hurry up and investigate why the empire’s supplies exploded!”

Soon, the captain learned about the situation. The material warehouse was attacked by unknown artillery fire outside the city, and almost all the materials were lost. At the same time, a squadron stationed next to the warehouse was also destroyed because of the rescue. "Baga, cunning Eighth Route Army."

You guys only know how to sneak attack, I will make you pay the price." The captain picked up his samurai sword and chopped an agent in front of him in half.

As an officer of the empire, the captain knew that he had lost so much combat material from the empire. What would happen to him? He must catch the Eighth Route Army sneak attack. The captain thought fiercely.

"Order, the Second Squadron, leave the city immediately, and be sure to eliminate the Eighth Route Army soldiers who sneak attack on the county town. The warriors of the empire will not be afraid of them. The Third Squadron immediately prepares for battle, and all the baggage squadrons prepare to impose martial law throughout the city and search for those who sneak attack the troops in the city.

Internal response!" The captain quickly regained his senses and ordered.

"Hey" the officer who got the order quickly left the city.

Because when the mountain cannon fires, a huge flame will appear at the muzzle, so after firing a few rounds of shells, the entire artillery position was exposed to the eyes of the city wall devils. After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers immediately shouted,

Holding rifles with fixed bayonets, they rushed toward the artillery positions outside the city, hoping to eliminate the Chinese soldiers who sneaked up on them.

As a mid-level commander following Liu Hua, Shen Qinghua, the leader of the New Regiment, saw the Japanese army with only one squadron, and immediately showed a cunning face, "Order, the mountain artillery company will immediately move its position, and the new regiment and battalion will protect the mountain artillery company.

The regiment and battalion immediately deployed a pocket formation in front of the position to cover the transfer of the mountain artillery company.

You must know that the 1st regiment and 1st battalion are one of the main forces that have been following Liu Hua in the battle. They are very good at setting up pocket formations and conducting ambushes. After receiving the order, the 1st battalion commander immediately took action. The first company moved to the left and the second company moved to the right.

, the third company blocked the enemy directly and built a simple bunker.

Looking at the Japs getting closer and closer, the faces of the soldiers in the entire first battalion showed excited expressions. You must know that there are more than 400 people in a battalion fighting Japs and less than 200 people in a squadron. That is more than 2;1, every time

Everyone was full of confidence. The soldiers who were complaining about the lack of fighting just now became excited. They aimed at the Type 38 rifles in their hands, loaded the light machine guns one after another, and began to adjust the design angle of the grenade.

"Da da da..." First, three rounds of fire were fired. The flames from the three light machine guns swept the dozen or so Japs at the front. The remaining Japs lay on the ground and started to fight back. Although the Japs were accurate,

The bullets caused a lot of casualties to the third company, but it did not last long. A total of nine grenade launchers in a battalion were all concentrated on the third company's position, and they began to fire grenades. Immediately, groups of grenades exploded on the Japanese position.

Sparks exploded from time to time, throwing up corpses of Japanese soldiers. The smoke from exploding grenades quickly obscured the Japanese soldiers' vision. The pressure on the third company's position was instantly relieved a lot. The two companies next to it took advantage of this advantageous situation.

Neutral, slowly surrounded the Japanese wings.

"Tick-tock-tock..." Seeing that the two companies surrounded by two wings were only a few dozen meters away from the Japanese, and the smoke on the Japanese position was about to dissipate, the regiment leader Shen Shuqing decisively ordered the bugler to blow the charge horn.

"Come on..." The soldiers jumped up one after another, holding rifles with bayonets in their hands and rushed towards the Japanese lying on the ground.
