Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 216: The Great Clever Carp
A bright beam of light shot from the headlight of the Japanese army's locomotive to the rails ahead.

A few hundred meters ahead of the Japanese army column, there was a Type 1 armored vehicle with a 7.7mm machine gun on each side.

At a distance of 100 meters from the railway track, the second company commander heard the clanging sound, put his hand on the handle of the detonator, and slowly turned it.

As the Japanese Type 93 armored vehicle drove to the explosion point, the second company commander suddenly pressed the handle.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded along with a rising fireball, blasting across the vast sky.

The entire armored vehicle was overturned and derailed in an instant, and a bazooka rocket was fired, instantly blowing the Japanese inside into pieces.

When the driver of the military train saw this scene, he was shocked and immediately slammed the brakes and opened the pressure relief valve, and violent steam spread from the front of the train.

The train's wheels had stopped turning, but the military train loaded with equipment and raw materials continued to move forward due to inertia.

"Swish, swish, swish..." The sound of friction between the iron wheels and the rails echoed through the night, with sparks and lightning flying all the way.

The Japanese soldiers in the military train staggered from side to side due to the strong inertia.

As the military train stopped, the carriage doors were pushed open immediately, and the Japanese soldiers jumped out of the train one by one, cursing.

Zhang Dabiao shouted loudly: "Flare!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

One flare after another was fired near the Japanese army column, illuminating the positions of the Japanese and the army column as if it were daytime.

"Open fire, but be careful not to hit my military equipment."

Seeing his vision suddenly become clear, the Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in his sight, and Li Yunlong gave orders loudly.

at the same time.

Li Yunlong first aimed at a Japanese machine gunner on the top of the train. The Japanese machine gunner was firing indiscriminately, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun was spewing flames and roaring wildly.

It was obvious that the Japanese machine gunner was anxious and kept firing rapidly.

"boom!"

Feeling a sudden shock in his shoulder, a high-speed rotating 12.7mm bullet hit the Japanese machine gunner's head.

In the clear view of the sniper scope, the Japanese machine gunner's head exploded instantly, even without a helmet.

Li Yunlong said loudly: "1."

Li Yunlong had also practiced with Zhao Gang's large-caliber sniper rifle several times at the shooting range, under the pretext of teaching Zhao Gang how to shoot.

He had already seen that Zhao Gang had an extraordinary talent in shooting. If Zhao Gang really became famous in the future, Li Yunlong could brag to others that it was he who taught Zhao Gang how to shoot.

Although Li Yunlong's proficiency in using this sniper rifle is not as good as Zhao Gang's.

Of course, at a distance of more than 200 meters, Li Yunlong can still hit the target every time.

Barrett has never been known for its high precision, but at this distance, with a high-power scope, it is possible to kill one with one shot.

Although the recoil is a bit strong, Li Yunlong can fully control it with his physique and combat effectiveness.

"1."

On the other side, Zhao Gang pulled the bolt with a loud bang, ejected the shell, and then pushed the bullet into the chamber.

"This little scholar's marksmanship is getting better and better."

Li Yunlong raised the corners of his mouth and quickly aimed at the same position. As expected, a Type 92 heavy machine gun must have more than one machine gunner, as well as an assistant gunner and an ammunition handler.

In the field of view of the sniper scope, a frightened Japanese soldier pushed aside the headless corpse and entered the sniper position.

The crosshairs were aimed at the head of the Japanese assistant gunner, and then Li Yunlong pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang!" The Japanese deputy gunner's head exploded with a bang.

"two!"

"Ha ha!"

"Cool!"

Captain Li laughed and continued to look for prey.

The sound of gunfire was heard all around, and the soldiers lying in ambush on both sides opened fire, and a large number of Japanese soldiers who had just jumped off the military train fell down.

"idiot!"

"Who ambushed the Locust Army's column here?"

"Are you seeking death?"

At the beginning, when he heard the explosion, the Japanese squadron leader, who almost fell down due to inertia, was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

But when he heard the dense and continuous gunfire around him, the Japanese squadron leader was stunned.

Judging from the sound of gunfire, the enemy has at least one reinforcement regiment!

The Japanese squadron leader looked at the telegraph operator beside him and said in a panic: "Immediately request reinforcements from Taiyuan Headquarters and call by radio."

"Hi."

The Japanese telegraph soldier's face was also filled with fear. He held the radio and stammered for a long time but failed to make a successful call.

"waste."

The squadron leader pushed the telegraph operator aside, picked up the radio receiver and microphone and started calling.

"Moshimoshi, call the headquarters, call the headquarters..."

"This is the Yamada Squadron. I'm Captain Yamada Cho'o, the squadron leader. My squadron was ambushed by the enemy approximately 10 kilometers west of Shouyang County. The enemy has approximately one reinforced regiment. Requesting tactical guidance, requesting tactical guidance..."

……

Taiyuan. Inner city.

Japanese First Army Headquarters.

Seiji Kazuki was forcibly awakened by the staff officer on duty. When he walked into the operations room with a gloomy face, he found that the operations room was already full of people.

The old devil instantly realized that something was wrong.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

Chief of Staff Tanaka Takayoshi quickly ran over and reported to Kazuki Seiji:
"Squadron Yamada just called the headquarters' communications room."

"Squadron Yamada?" Kazuki Seiji hadn't woken up at all, his mind was still a little confused, and he didn't remember the Yamada Squadron for a while.

"Hey," Tanaka Takayoshi reminded him, "that's the Yamada Squadron you assigned to escort the military train carrying military equipment and raw materials to Peking. The train was ambushed by the enemy about 10 kilometers west of Shouyang. The enemy's firepower was very strong, with about a reinforced regiment as many troops as there were."

"Squadron Yamada is engaging the enemy. Captain Yamada is requesting reinforcements!"

Xiangyue Qingji's expression changed: "What?"

He finally remembered that he had indeed arranged a squadron of soldiers to protect the military train heading to Peiping.

But unexpectedly, they were ambushed by the Chinese army halfway.

"I have ordered the locust troops stationed in Shouyang and Yangquan to provide reinforcements."

Tanaka Takayoshi said:
"The Locust Army Infantry Squadron in Shouyang can arrive within an hour, and the 1th Infantry Regiment stationed in Yangquan can arrive within two hours."

Time was urgent, and Kazuki Seiji was slow to get out of bed, so Tanaka Takayoshi took the lead in giving orders to the Japanese troops in Shouyang and Yangquan.

Because the telephone lines were cut off and telegram transmission was slow, Tanaka Takayoshi directly asked the communications staff to use the radio to communicate with the Japanese in Shouyang and Yangquan and issue orders.

It was night time, and it took the Japanese about half an hour to receive the order and get ready to set off, which was considered fast.

Even if you take a truck, it takes about half an hour to get from Shouyang to the ambush point, and it takes at least an hour and a half to get from Yangquan to the ambush point by truck.

"idiot!"

"The Chinese army actually dared to ambush the locust army's train. They are simply courting death!"

Slapping the table, Xiangyue Qingsi flew into a rage:
"Order the aviation units to prepare. As soon as daybreak arrives, quickly take off and bomb the enemy ambushing the Locust Army's train."

Transporting equipment and raw materials to Peking was the first project that Seiji Kozuki presided over after taking office as commander of the First Army.

If this first project fails, it will be difficult to explain to General Terauchi Hisaichi and it will leave a bad impression in General Terauchi Hisaichi's mind.

Tanaka Ryukichi suddenly lowered his head: "Hi."

……

"Nani?"

"The military train was ambushed by the enemy 10 kilometers west of Shouyang?"

"Command ordered us to send reinforcements immediately?"

Yangquan.

The 77th Regiment of the Japanese Army was about to lead an infantry battalion and a puppet army corps to reinforce Mengxian County, but Li Dengxing's face changed slightly.

Li Dengxing guessed that there might be more than one regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Meng County, otherwise the Eighth Route Army would not dare to attack the scene.

To be on the safe side, Li Dengxing planned to lead his troops to provide reinforcements.

However, Li Dengxing was not at all panicked. The more Eighth Route Army troops there were, the greater the victory would be.

"Hi."

The communications officer suddenly lowered his head. "The enemy ambushing the military train has powerful firepower, with a force of about a reinforced regiment. The train is loaded with equipment and raw materials from the Taiyuan Military Factory."

"I see…"

Li Dengxing suddenly showed a look of realization on his face.

The Japanese staff officers looked at each other in confusion.

The Chief of Staff asked carefully, "Sir, what do you understand?"

Li Dengxing smiled faintly and said, "The Eighth Route Army's attack on Mengxian County is just a diversionary tactic. The purpose is to attract our 77th Infantry Regiment to reinforce Mengxian County. Another Eighth Route Army unit can ambush the Locust Army's military train transporting military equipment and raw materials 10 kilometers west of Shouyang County."

"That's why the Eighth Route Army attacked Mengxian County more than half an hour ago."

"I can now confirm that there is only one regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Meng County, and the Eighth Route Army is unaware that the 3rd Infantry Battalion has arrived in Meng County."

"If the 3rd Infantry Battalion suddenly attacks from behind the Eighth Route Army, it will surely inflict heavy damage or even annihilate them."

After listening to Li Dengxingyi's analysis, the staff officers immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

"Your Excellency, the Colonel, is wise." The Chief of Staff complimented him, "I admire you!"

Li Dengxing nodded proudly, and mentally praised his own cleverness: "Everything is within my calculations."

"Order!"

"The troops will immediately head 10 kilometers west of Shouyang County to reinforce the locust army's train."

The troops in Shouyang County will go to reinforce, but the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to take away such a large amount of combat supplies in a short time.

Li Dengxing raised the corner of his mouth. This time, the Eighth Route Army was not only doomed to fail, but also suffered heavy losses.

The Chief of Staff suddenly lowered his head: "Hi."

An infantry battalion and a puppet army regiment were already in a state of assembly. As Li Dengxingyi's order was issued, the Japanese and puppet soldiers quickly boarded the Type 10 truck, and Li Dengxingyi boarded a Type armored train, heading at full speed to reinforce a location kilometers west of Shouyang.

The Japanese puppet troops would arrive faster by train, but considering that the Eighth Route Army would inevitably damage the railroad tracks, the Japanese puppet troops could only reinforce by small trucks.
