Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 161 How was the information leaked?
"Hug the fire!"

Seeing the arrogant Japanese soldiers pushing open the carriage door and jumping down, Li Yunlong gave stern orders and opened fire first.

While giving the order, he held a Mauser 98K sniper rifle, aimed at a Japanese infantryman, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The terrain here is higher, about 300 meters away from the railway tracks, and the four ambushed companies are about 100 meters away from the railway tracks.

"boom!"

The Japanese soldier who was targeted was shot in the chest and fell backwards.

"Nani?"

When gunshots were heard, the Japanese soldiers were startled and looked towards the location of the gunshots.

A Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun firing point made of sandbags on the top of the carriage was preparing to fire at the location where the gunshot was heard.

A bullet flew over and hit the Japanese soldier's forehead accurately, blowing off the Japanese machine gunner's helmet.

The next second, the sounds of light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles firing rang out like popping beans.

"One shot to the head."

Li Yunlong's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Xiao Zhao, your shooting skills are not bad!"

The military train hit the Japanese heavy machine gun position. Only the Japanese machine gunner's head was exposed, and half of his head was behind the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

It is not easy to hit the Japanese machine gunner's head, even he himself is not absolutely sure.

"Captain, you're a pretty good shooter too."

Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief. It felt really good to kill the Japanese. He quickly loaded the bullet into the gun.

At a distance of 300 meters, he hit the Japanese soldier's chest. This kind of shooting skill is not common in the New st Regiment.

"Haha, let's see who kills more devils!"

Li Yunlong was aroused by his competitive spirit, but his hands were not idle. He quickly pushed the bullet into the chamber and searched for the target in the optical sight.

With the help of a 6x optical sight, Li Yunlong had a clear view of the situation of the Japanese on the railway tracks 300 meters away.

Not to mention Zhao Gang. In the original drama, Zhao Gang used machine aiming to hit the Japanese mortar gunner at 500 meters. His eyesight was much better than Li Yunlong's.

With the help of the 6x optical scope, Zhao Gang was even more powerful. With his second shot, he hit the butt of a Japanese soldier who was heading under the military column: "Two!"

Li Yunlong aimed at a wounded Japanese soldier and shot him in the head, finishing him off completely: "Two to two!"

There was a burst of gunfire on both sides of the railway tracks, and dense bullets were fired at the Japanese, and a large number of them were knocked down on the spot.

The rest of the devils crawled on the ground, dodging the oncoming harvest while firing back with their guns.

"Captain, you're cheating! That only counts as half!"

Zhao Gang pushed the bullet into the chamber again, talking loudly while looking for any living devils.

"Nonsense! How could there be any Japanese here?"

There were too many people and too little meat, so Li Yunlong moved smoothly and quickly aimed at another Japanese light machine gunner.

As soon as the firefight began, the Japanese firepower was completely suppressed.

All in all, the Japanese had only one infantry company of 1 people.

About 100 Japanese soldiers came down from the military train and one from each side of the railway track.

Li Yunlong ambushed two infantry companies on each side of the railway.

It has a commanding position, sufficient ammunition and strong firepower.

The first round of firepower swept down nearly half of the Japanese soldiers. Even though there were many recruits in the army who had less than three months of training, they were able to easily suppress the Japanese soldiers' firepower.

To wage an ambush, the key is to deliver firepower within the first minute.

According to the Eighth Route Army's previous fighting style, after one minute of firepower delivery, the troops would rush down to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

But, times have changed.

If a battle can be resolved with guns and bullets, never use a bayonet.

The rest of the Japanese soldiers lay down beside the tracks, their guns set up, and exchanged fire with the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese were not weak in marksmanship, but the New First Regiment also had many experts, especially the Blade Commandos who also joined the battle.

This battle is also a practical test for the Blade Commandos.

……

At this time, in a carriage in the middle of the Japanese army column, a Japanese radio operator's face was full of panic.

Hearing the intensive gunfire coming from his ears, he took the receiver and microphone and asked for help without hesitation.

Generally speaking, Japanese infantry companies are not equipped with radios. Only units above the battalion level are equipped with radios.

Only units above the brigade level in the Eighth Route Army were equipped with radio stations.

However, this time the Japanese infantry squadron was carrying out a special escort mission, so it was equipped with a radio and a radio operator.

"Moxi moxi."

After adjusting the channel and wavelength of the radio, the Japanese radio operator immediately called out in a hurried tone: "38 rifle calling infantry artillery, 38 rifle calling infantry artillery."

The radio operator was from the 20th Division Headquarters Communications Team, so he used the microphone and receiver to call directly to the 20th Division Headquarters.

The current commander of the 20th Division is Yamashita Tomoyuki, so the code name of the 20th Division was changed from howitzer to infantry artillery.

The call was connected, and the Japanese radio operator reported to the communications department of the 20th Division Headquarters that the military train had been attacked and requested immediate reinforcements.

"General, the communications department just received a request for support from the Type 38 rifle."

The communications staff officer of the division headquarters, who received the news, quickly walked into the operations hall and reported to Yamashita Tomoyuki who was discussing the combat plan.

Yamashita Fengwen frowned: "What is the Type 38 rifle?"

The communications officer's expression froze as he quickly reported, "Reporting to the division commander, this is the code name for a military train transporting military equipment and raw materials. The equipment and raw materials were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the Dongzhengtai Railway. The enemy's firepower is formidable. Requesting support, urgent!"

"Where was the military train attacked? Point it out on the map." Yamashita Tomoyuki's face darkened. He then remembered that the military train that had been arranged to carry military equipment and raw materials a few days ago would be heading to Zhengding in the next two days.

Japan is poor in resources, and the Japanese are also coveting the Taiyuan Arsenal, one of the three major arsenals in the Republic of China.

In order to prevent any changes, the North China Front Command ordered that the better equipment and raw materials in the Taiyuan Arsenal be transported to Manchuria or the mainland.

"The military train was ambushed in the area between Luanliu Station and Xiapanshi Station."

The communications officer quickly pointed on the map, but before he could finish his words, he was slapped in the face.

"Baga, I'm asking about the specific location."

Although Yamashita Tomoyuki was over 50 years old, he was in good health and slapped the communications staff officer to the ground with one blow.

"Hi."

The communications staff officer got up, his mouth was slapped crooked, and he forced himself to straighten his head and lower it, humming a "hi" sound.

He felt bitter because the radio operator was hiding in the carriage and didn't know the exact location of the ambush. It was not his fault!

But the other party was a lieutenant general, and he was just a small lieutenant colonel, so he had to take the slap, otherwise he would end up in a miserable situation.

"Find out the exact location immediately!"

"Hi!"

"Order the troops stationed at Yangquan and Niangziguan to reinforce the military train. Order the 6th Flying Squadron stationed at Taiyuan to provide air support immediately."

"Hi!"

The communications staff rushed out of the operations room as if running for his life.

"waste."

Yamashita Fengwen snorted coldly, and his expression suddenly changed.

"The military train schedule for transporting military equipment and raw materials is top secret. How did this information get leaked?"

Several military trains passed through the Zhengtai Railway every day without being ambushed.

Yamashita Tomoyuki couldn't believe that the Eighth Route Army accidentally ambushed a military train transporting military equipment and raw materials.
