Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 505 Everyone is attacking the logistics! (Part )
Although they seem to be in a desperate situation, they are actually in a desperate situation.

But they also had the 21st Flying Regiment for air support.

Even if they failed to capture Dongjiayuyu in the end, the 21st Flying Regiment was able to destroy nearly tanks of the Eighth Route Army, which was a great achievement.

When the 21st Flying Regiment arrived, it destroyed the Eighth Route Army's tanks and bombed Dongjiayu.

They will be able to fight back, capture Dongjiayu and complete the task assigned by the general.

"Be careful to hide and establish a defense line."

Yuan Shandeng quickly gave orders.

But at this moment, some flares were fired over the woods, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

However, the Japs were hiding in the woods and were not in a panic.

As the flares rose, muzzle flashes as dense as stars appeared again on the Eighth Route Army's positions.

It was obvious that the Eighth Route Army used more than a hundred machine guns to fire at the woods.

But Yuan Shandeng didn’t understand, how could the machine gun be accurate at a distance of more than 800 meters?
It's just a waste of ammunition.

Unless the Eighth Route Army fired incendiary bombs into the woods, they could still cause considerable casualties to the Japanese army.

"Is this... Beyond Shooting?"

Looking at the densely falling tracer bullets, Yuan Shandeng immediately understood the tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

He immediately shouted the order:
"Spread the word, everyone hide behind the trees to avoid oncoming stray bullets."

All the devils immediately found shelter under trees.

However, in order to build fortifications, the New 1st Regiment cut down most of the trees and transported them to the front line, leaving only a few small trees, and there were only a few hundred of them.

Some of the Japanese soldiers were shot continuously.

At this moment, tank guns and tank machine guns joined in the bombardment and strafing of the Japanese in the woods.

A huge explosion occurred among the Japanese soldiers, and large-caliber heavy machine guns swept across, scattering one barrage after another and breaking trees.

Although the machine guns of the New 1st Regiment's Anti-Aircraft Battalion also covered the tank area, the machine gun bullets could not break through the tank's defense.

"idiot."

"Keep hiding."

The huge casualties made Yuan Shandeng furious, but now he could only wait for the arrival of the 21st Flying Regiment.

but.

Ten minutes before dawn, the Eighth Route Army stopped firing.

The tanks evacuated to the designated location.

The soldiers from the air defense battalion and the training company quickly hid in the tunnels.

More than ten minutes later, more than 40 Japanese planes arrived as expected and launched a frenzied bombing of the Dongjiayu hilltop and the Eighth Route Army Highway.

But at this time, the Japanese had suffered heavy casualties and were no longer able to launch an attack.

After the Japanese planes finished bombing, the training company commander immediately led his troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese who had managed to survive.

……

at the same time.

On the slopes on both sides of Panshi Village on the road from Datong to Jiangjunling in Heyuan County, dense groups of soldiers from the New 1st Regiment were lying in ambush.

All the soldiers were covered with branches and weeds for concealment.

Just as the sky was getting light, two Japanese reconnaissance planes flew past at low altitude.

In the command center, Zhang Zhichao raised his telescope to look after the Japanese reconnaissance plane left.

"Damn those devil planes! Luckily we set up an ambush before daybreak." Zhang Zhichao cursed.
"Let the soldiers take cover."

An hour later, just when Zhang Zhichao thought the enemy transport convoy might not arrive until the afternoon, a signalman came running to report: "Reporting to the battalion commander, the enemy transport convoy has been spotted. It is 5 kilometers from the ambush circle. There are about 200 small trucks, all loaded with large ammunition boxes."

Zhang Zhichao's eyes flashed: "Tell the soldiers to prepare for battle!"

Each Japanese 240mm artillery shell weighs 200 kilograms. The Japanese were transporting large ammunition boxes, which means that the vehicles must be carrying heavy artillery shells.

About 10 minutes later, the Japanese transport and search team plunged into the encirclement of the th Battalion of the New st Regiment.

The Japanese three-wheeled vehicle in the lead, and several Japanese small trucks fully loaded with guns and live ammunition in the rear, opened fire with the Type 96 light machine guns on the sidecars of the three-wheeled vehicles and the truck sheds, conducting fire reconnaissance on the hillsides on both sides of the road.

The Japanese soldiers responsible for this transportation were from the 1st Battalion of the Imperial Guards Quartermaster Regiment. Their commander was named Taro Nitta. His order was to deliver the combat supplies to the Jiangjunling battlefield before noon.

Therefore, if we carefully examine every section of the road, we will not be able to complete the task before noon, let alone before noon tomorrow.

Therefore, the Japs could only use machine guns for fire reconnaissance.

In the past few days, several transport teams with baggage soldiers traveled back and forth between Jiangjunling and Datong without being ambushed.

This made Taro Nitta and the soldiers of the Japanese supply unit let down their guard.

During this period, several soldiers of the Ninth Battalion were shot and bleeding profusely, but the wounded soldiers remained as still as a mountain.

Not long after, most of the 200 small trucks of the Japanese transport team entered the ambush circle.

Although the 2500th Battalion of the New st Regiment had a strength of people, which was the strength of a regiment, only half of them were infantry, and the rest were artillery and logistics troops.

The length of the road covered by 200 Dodin trucks exceeds 3 kilometers.

Therefore, these troops were unable to ambush the entire Japanese convoy.

However, it was not a big problem. Zhang Zhichao had previously served as Li Yunlong's guard company commander and studied under Li Yunlong. He had rich experience in ambushes and had anticipated this situation long ago and made targeted deployments.

"beat."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Zhichao gave the order to open fire.

In an instant, a string of red flares soared into the sky.

"Da da da……"

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, countless bullets, artillery shells, rockets, etc. flew towards the Japanese transport convoy, causing a large number of casualties to the Japanese.

Within the first few seconds of the battle, the front and rear vehicles of the Japanese convoy were all hit by rockets and artillery shells.

The Eighth Route Army's standard ambush tactic was to cut off the head and tail and attack the center.

As soon as the battle started, Major Taro Nitta, who was in charge of the transportation mission, immediately changed his face when he heard the firepower output of the Eighth Route Army.

During the July 7 Incident, the Eighth Route Army dispatched an elite field division to ambush the Japanese Fifth Division's logistics unit at Pingxingguan. The two sides fought for a long time, and the casualty ratio was about one to one.

but.

The times have changed.

Although, from the sounds of gunfire and artillery, Taro Nitta could tell that the Eighth Route Army's ambush troops had only more than 2,000 people, less than a quarter of the Eighth Route Army in the Pingxingguan battle.

However, this firepower is more than five times stronger than that of the Eighth Route Army at Pingxingguan.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, amidst the sounds of some small explosions on the entire battlefield, a sound that shook the mountains and hills was heard, like a huge thunder ringing in Taro Nitta's ears.

He quickly looked and saw a huge explosion. The huge impact force threw the surrounding Japanese soldiers and trucks into the air like pieces of paper. The twisted and deformed car bodies were replaced in the flames, and parts fell like raindrops. The violent explosion burned the surrounding air and solidified it.

The Eighth Route Army's rockets hit a truck carrying several 240 shells. After the explosion, the truck and the Japanese baggage soldiers on it disappeared without a trace. A huge crater was created on the ground by the impact of the explosion, and the loud noise of the explosion echoed for a long time in the empty wilderness of northwestern Shanxi.

Seeing this scene, the Japanese soldiers all looked horrified.
