Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 502 Everyone is attacking the logistics! (Part )
Dongjiayu.

It is the junction of Ping'an, Heyuan and Anhua counties. It is also an important material transfer station connecting the three major front-line positions, Shahukou, Majiapo and Jiangjunling. It is similar to the Japanese military station, storing a large amount of weapons, ammunition and various supplies.

Once the highway in Ping'an County in the rear is bombed by Japanese planes, the weapons, ammunition and supplies here can be transported to the front-line positions.

It is an important place second only to Ping'an County, Ping'an Industrial Zone, and the New 1st Regiment General Warehouse.

Normally, there is a main battalion of 2,500 infantrymen stationed there. No outsiders are allowed to approach and security is very tight.

However, the Japanese army began a large-scale attack on northwestern Shanxi, and the infantry of this main battalion was transferred to the front line.

Since this is the rear area, there is only one new recruit from the training company deployed here for defense.

At this time, in the Dongjiayuyu Command Center, the commander of the teaching company had a solemn expression on his face.

He had received a call from the regiment headquarters, saying that a group of elite Japanese troops would infiltrate and attack Dongjiayu tonight. The enemy's strength and the time of the attack were unknown.

Although the total strength of this training company exceeds one thousand people, except for the squad leaders and himself, the company commander, all of them are new recruits who have been trained for less than two months.

Although they were all equipped with semi-automatic rifles, a company of new recruits like theirs would need at least three thousand people to deal with one thousand elite Japanese soldiers.

The regiment commander said that reinforcements would be sent, but even now it was dark, and there was still no sign of reinforcements.

Dongjiayugou is a mountain surrounded by large open areas. Five or six roads converge here and then branch off to the distance.

In order to prevent bombing by Japanese planes, the mountain was hollowed out and an ammunition and supply warehouse was built for the new regiment.

This means that this place is not easy to defend. If the enemy surrounds it, they can attack from any position.

Until midnight, two companies from the motorized battalion arrived and took away a large amount of ammunition and combat supplies, but no reinforcements arrived.

"Has the captain forgotten about the reinforcements?"

"How about we call and ask?"

The instructor suggested to the company commander.

The company commander frowned and was about to light a cigarette when he suddenly remembered that smoking was prohibited here. He nodded and said, "Okay."

The two were about to go into the command center to call the regiment headquarters to ask.

At this moment, a squad leader ran in and reported: "Company Commander, reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements have arrived?"

The company commander and the instructor hurried out of the regiment headquarters and looked around. Soon they saw dozens of large trucks coming from the direction of Ping'an County.

Almost every large truck was carrying a uniform array of 20mm machine guns and 40mm anti-aircraft guns.

Among them, there are many twin-mounted machine guns and twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns.

This scene.

It stunned the company commander and instructors, and even more so the recruits.

Each unit of the new regiment is stationed in a different location, and the air defense battalion is stationed in an important location.

The recruits had only seen a 20mm machine gun and a 40mm machine gun when they joined the army.

That was the recruiting and armed forces department of the new regiment, which was specifically displayed to attract new recruits.

Even the company commander and the instructor rarely saw such a large scene with the entire air defense battalion deployed.

"Air Defense Battalion, what are they doing here?"

"Are the Japanese planes going to bomb us?"

The instructor sounded puzzled.

The company commander said thoughtfully, "We received news from the regiment that a group of Japanese infantry were coming to launch a surprise attack. The regiment has dispatched anti-aircraft forces. Since the Japanese planes cannot be deployed at night, there is only one explanation: the regiment commander wants to use anti-aircraft artillery to attack the Japanese infantry."

"Anti-aircraft guns hitting Japanese infantry?" The instructor's eyes suddenly widened. "Oh my god, this is going to be a good show."

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call your people to help." Before the company commander and the instructor could be happy for a few minutes, Wei Dayong's cousin, Wei Dazhong, the commander of the 1st Air Defense Battalion, called them over.

As soon as Wei Dazhong arrived at the position, he began to make intensive deployments:

"There are six 20mm machine guns here."

"Move this twin 40mm anti-aircraft gun 15 meters to the left."

"There are two large-caliber heavy machine guns there."

"Each gun position should pay attention to improving concealment and putting up more camouflage nets."

"Install more searchlights and prepare enough flares."

半个小时后，防空1营的100多门20毫米机关炮、40毫米防空炮、12.7毫米高射机枪准备就绪。

At the same time, the voices of Sun Desheng and Qi Yilin sounded on the radio channel.

In order to protect Dongjiayu, an important material transfer station.

Li Yunlong directly dispatched the 1st Anti-Aircraft Battalion, the st Tank Battalion, and the nd Tank Battalion.

……

That night.

Dagushan.

The former headquarters of the 358th Regiment.

The troops of the 9th Battalion, the main infantry of the New 1st Regiment, were lurking here. The battalion commander was Zhang Zhichao, who was originally the guard battalion commander of Li Yunlong.

The time is now five minutes past eight.

Glancing at his watch, Zhang Zhichao called the instructor, deputy battalion commander, and 12 company commanders to a meeting. After all 15 of them had gathered, he spread out a map on the eight-immortals table and spoke in a masculine and resolute tone:
"We received a telegram from the regimental headquarters this afternoon. The Japanese convoy transporting heavy artillery and shells will depart from their military station 15 kilometers south of Datong and head to Jiangjunling tomorrow."

"Our mission this time is to ambush the Japanese convoy and blow up their heavy artillery shells and supplies."

"In the past, when the Eighth Route Army ambushed the Japanese transport convoys, their main goal was to kill, injure, and seize the enemy's ammunition and supplies."

"But this time, our mission is to kill the enemy and destroy their ammunition and supplies."

After Zhang Zhichao finished speaking, the experienced instructor beside him added:

"Comrades!"

"The Japanese heavy artillery shells pose a great threat to our base, so we must destroy them at all costs."

"After completing the mission, do not linger in the battle, do not take the enemy's supplies and weapons, do not clean up the battlefield, and evacuate immediately with the wounded."

"The Japs have a cavalry brigade in Datong. If they bite us, we'll be in trouble!"

"Do you understand everything?"

"Understood!" all the company commanders shouted in unison.

"Very good!" Zhang Zhichao looked at his watch again. "Check your watches. It's ten minutes past eight. We'll set off in ten minutes and march quickly to Panshi Village to ambush the Japanese transport team."

The deputy battalion commander, the instructor and a group of company commanders all turned over their wrists and looked at the map again. In the New 1st Regiment, watches were standard equipment for cadres above the squad level, and even some combat backbones were equipped with watches.

Today's Xinyi Group is so wealthy.

……

The night is as dark as ink, and the moon and stars are sparse.

In the southwestern area of ​​Ping'an County, 28 elite Japanese soldiers from the 50th Regiment of the 2000th Brigade, led by the regiment commander Colonel Motoyama Noboru, climbed over a 30-meter-high cliff into the Ping'an County area.

This infiltration mission was pre-scouted by Yamamoto's special forces and reconnaissance planes. A bare-handed rock climbing expert from the first combat group of the special forces first climbed to the top of the cliff with his bare hands, and then dropped a rope. Twenty special forces from the first combat group climbed up and dropped more ropes. The rest of the devils all pulled the ropes and entered Ping'an County.
