The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 768
The battle in the Yangquan area ended.

First, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on its own initiative, ambushing three railway transportation lines for the Japanese army to transport rations to Yangquan at one time, and at the same time attacked the major Japanese advance strongholds, artillery towers, and villages.

Then the old devil Shinozuka Yoshio used military rations, strongholds, gun towers, etc. as alluring bait, mobilized more than two brigades of troops, and surrounded the Yangquan area.

This is the largest war between China and Japan since the disaster became more serious this year.

The huge movement naturally swept all directions, and all forces are closely watching the direction of this war.

One side is the Japanese invaders who have been rampant for a long time.

On the other side is the elite Northwest Shanxi Anti-Japanese First Detachment of the Eighth Route Army that has gained fame in the past two years.

The final result is revealed with the end of the battle:
The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army successfully ambushed three railway lines transported by the Japanese army to Yangquan, intercepted more than one million catties of grain, and pulled out a considerable number of Japanese artillery towers, strongholds, and villages and towns.

And retreated from the whole body, jumped out of the encirclement in time before the Japanese army closed the encirclement.

As soon as the news came out, all parties were shocked.

It was thought that the contest between the two parties might be a loss for both sides, and it is more likely that the independent regiment was severely injured by the powerful Japanese army.

But who would have thought that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army would completely defeat the Japanese invaders.

Another miracle!
For a time, the independent group became famous.

The morale of the Eighth Route Army troops in the entire Taihang and Taiyue areas was greatly boosted because of this.

The senior officers of the Shanxi-Suijun Army of the World War II Zone Commander's Department.

I was also shocked by the combat effectiveness shown by the independent regiment in this battle.

Right now, the disaster is spreading and becoming more and more serious. What the people urgently need is food, and what the troops urgently need is also food to survive the disaster.

The Jinsui military also made a lot of preparations for this, trying to hoard food, deal with the disaster, stabilize the support of the troops, and ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"But we just try to find a way to buy grain, find a way to grow grain, and we're going to go to the countryside to collect grain."

"Who dares to rob the devil's food like the independent group?"

At the regiment headquarters of the 57th regiment of the Jinsui Army, Qian Shoucai, the third battalion commander who inquired about the news, said with emotion after returning to the regiment headquarters.

Yang Chongshan, the head of the 57th Regiment, heard the news. He admired the Independent Regiment and the head of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jiezhi, more and more, like a surging river, endless...

Chu Yunfei, head of the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army, continued to express his official feelings:
"To rob food, pull out strongholds, remove gun towers, and kill Japanese invaders, the Independence Regiment has demonstrated the strength of a soldier and the arrogance of our Chinese people. This battle is really soul-stirring!"

"Brother Li Gong, you and I are both soldiers, but you can only watch others' heroic battles here, what a shame!"

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was speechless and had to remain silent.

……

……

And it was in another place, a stage that was temporarily unknown to all parties.

Li Yunlong and his tank company had been lurking near the railway line leading to Ping'an County by the Japanese army for more than six hours.

The distant sky has turned pale.

The soldiers overcome all difficulties with tenacious will and super endurance, just to wait for the opportunity of the final battle.

"Damn it, you bastard, I guess I guessed wrong, the devil's transport train really won't come?"

Lurking until dawn, Li Yunlong, who still felt a little stiff all over his body, moved his shoulders a little, and said cursingly, even though he had kept his guard at night and rested for a while.

As a battle-tested veteran, Li Yunlong can fully predict the general direction of the current ambush.

In the direction of Yangquan, Lao Kong led an independent regiment to ambush the devil's railway transportation line and then attacked the Japanese advance stronghold.

In areas like Ping'an County, Shouyang County, Tan County, and even Taiyuan City, the Japanese army immediately made corresponding adjustments to the original defense deployment of the railway line.

Strongholds garrisoned near the railway line were deployed with additional troops and increased security.

The devil's reconnaissance planes circled over the main railway lines from time to time to conduct reconnaissance. Once the target was found, the reconnaissance plane would immediately call in the devil's bombers and fighter jets to destroy the target.

Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to send the main force like the Independence Regiment, even with the cooperation of the militia and local troops, to ambush the devil's railway line and quickly transfer the intercepted food in time.

As for sending out combat troops, they lurked at night and ambushed the devil's transport train.

Once the battle broke out, the defenders in the towns and villages around the Japanese army's strongholds would quickly reinforce them, and then repeat the old tricks like the independent regiment, and it was equally difficult to escape the encirclement of the Japanese army in time.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Yunlong decided to lead the tank company to attack.

In Li Yunlong's words: "This time I don't care whether I get rich or not."

"Just to fuck him, little devil."

"If the devil's train is blown up, the little devil can't send half a grain of food."

According to the requirements of the head of the regiment Li Yunlong, the main operational policy issued by the commander of the tank company He Dahai is:
Once the battle broke out, the time for the tank company to engage the Japanese army was only 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes were up, no matter how many victories they had achieved, they had to immediately move to the prepared lurking location.

Li Yunlong just wants the Japanese army to know that no matter how tight your defense is, I still have the ability to blow up your train and knock down your transportation line.

Only you little devil owns Iron King Eight, and the history of unilaterally bullying our Eighth Route Army is gone forever.

At the beginning, Li Yunlong dared to take someone else's infantry cannon dug from the ground, and dragged it around to scare the little devils.

Right now, he still dared to pull out the tank company to ambush the devil's transport train and deter the Japanese army.

... seven o'clock in the morning.

A Japanese-style military train consisting of a locomotive and [-] carriages was moving forward rapidly along the section of almost straight rail amidst roaring noises.

There was a faint voice.

Let the soldiers who had waited all night trembling slightly in excitement.

"You son of a bitch, it's finally here!" Li Yunlong excitedly licked his chapped lips after not drinking a drop of water overnight.

The company commander He Dahai immediately ordered: "All vehicles pay attention and prepare for battle. As soon as the explosion is over, tank No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] tanks will rush in from the center line, armored vehicles No. [-] and [-] will rush in from the right wing, and armored vehicles No. [-] and [-] will rush in from the left wing. "

"The combat time is 5 minutes. After emptying all the ammunition within 5 minutes, immediately evacuate westward as planned."

"Tank One Received!"

"Tank No. [-] received!"

……

"Armored vehicle No. [-] received!"

After everything was ready, the soldiers stood at their respective positions inside the tank.

Through the rotatable tank periscope, the commanders stared at the speeding Japanese train in their field of vision.

Li Yunlong, who had a hard time enjoying himself, was sitting on the armored vehicle, operating a heavy machine gun himself, ready to kill the little devil as the armored vehicle drove in at any time...
