The Japanese vanguard searched everywhere and then retreated.
"Commander, look, the Japanese have retreated!" Zhang Dabiao said excitedly.
Li Yunlong shouted in a low voice: "Da Biao, pass my order, the new regiment will move forward and enter their respective ambush positions as soon as possible!"
Following Li Yunlong's low shout, thousands of soldiers from the new regiment immediately swarmed towards Sunset Slope and ambush at the predetermined location.
"Zhang Dabiao gave me an order to let the soldiers throw all the grenades at the little Japs, and then use machine guns to attack them fiercely.
Don’t worry about bullets in this battle. We must destroy the enemy’s morale as soon as possible and don’t give them any chance to counterattack. At about the same time, the entire regiment will get their bayonets ready and charge down with me!”
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao immediately stepped forward to take the order and conveyed Li Yunlong's order.
The soldiers also prepared for battle. The machine gunners turned their guns and aimed at the road. The soldiers also took out grenades and put them in front of their eyes, getting ready for battle.
Everything is waiting for Li Yunlong to issue the battle order.
These Japanese vanguards did not expect that as soon as they retreated, someone would immediately ambush them.
Sunset slope.
After retreating, the vanguard of the Japanese soldiers immediately reported to Yumuling that everything was safe.
On the winding road behind Sunset Slope, dozens of trucks were like earthworms, coiled on the road.
Tamaki Ling was sitting in the truck, listening to the report from the vanguard.
After hearing that everything was safe, Yumuling nodded with satisfaction: "Xingxi, those Chinese people will definitely not come again."
After sneering, Yumuling said coldly: "Keep going!"
After saying that, Yumuling closed her eyes again and rested her mind.
The transport truck restarted and headed towards Dingyang County.
Because they had already dispatched the vanguard before, they were not so cautious this time. The Japanese machine gunner lying on the car fired a few shots at random with a light machine gun.
Not long after, they entered the ambush circle of a new group.
In the truck, Tamaki Ling was still calmly sitting on the passenger seat and taking a nap. Unexpectedly, they had already fallen into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, Yumuling was still thinking about how she would bring back all the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings after the materials were delivered.
"Commander, do you want to fight or not?" Zhang Dabiao swallowed his saliva and stared at the Japanese transport team under the highway.
"Hit!" Li Yunlong made a decisive decision.
Following Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers picked up the grenades in front of them and threw them at the Japanese on the road.
On the highway, the little devils were marching. They were thinking about where to go to relax after the transportation mission was over.
suddenly.
They noticed that the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow. When they looked up, hundreds of black shadows almost covered half of the sky.
Almost all the Japanese soldiers stopped and looked stupidly into the air, just when they were wondering what this thing was.
There were many sharp-eyed Japanese soldiers among them. When they discovered that the black shadows in the sky were actually grenades, they were immediately shocked.
"Grenade, grenade!"
"Hide, hide, hide quickly!"
"Enemy attack, there are enemies, please report to the commander of the company quickly!"
…
On the highway, Japanese soldiers shouted one after another.
But as soon as they shouted, the next moment, grenades with white smoke falling on the road like rain.
Because when the soldiers threw the grenade, they had already calculated the explosion time, and when they threw the grenade, it happened to explode.
Before the Japanese soldiers on the road could react, the grenade exploded and a series of deafening explosions sounded.
In an instant, the road was shrouded in flames, and smoke suddenly rose from the ground, covering the road.
The shrapnel produced by the explosion flew in all directions and hit the Japanese soldiers on the road. The rumbling explosions continued to sound, and the ground seemed to be shaking slightly.
This wave of grenades alone killed more than a hundred Japanese soldiers, not to mention the subsequent damage caused by the explosive fragments.
The sound of the explosion was mixed with the wails of the Japanese soldiers who were hit by shrapnel, which resounded over the battlefield.
The little Japanese was caught off guard by the explosion and had no time to react. The casualties in the team were increasing.
As for the puppet troops escorting the mule carts, after hearing the explosion, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground with their heads exploded. They had no ability to fight back.
The sudden explosion caused all the Japanese cars to brake suddenly and stop on the highway.
In the passenger seat, Tamaki Ling, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, hit her forehead hard on the passenger seat and received a big red envelope in advance.
Yumuling covered her forehead with a red bump and grinned in pain.
Hearing the explosion in her ears, Tamaki Ling was shocked. She immediately opened the door and jumped out of the truck, regardless of the headache on her forehead.
now.
The highway has been blown into a sea of flames.
Tamaki Ling took out the command knife, pressed against the truck, and lowered her body as much as possible.
After the Japanese soldiers panicked for a while, with the cooperation of various corps commanders and sergeants, they all found bunkers and hid, searching for traces of the attacking troops and preparing to counterattack.
It didn't take long for the light and heavy machine guns to be set up, and the grenadier soldiers braved the debris of the explosion to find a suitable position to counterattack.
I don't know how long it took for the rumbling explosions to gradually dissipate. The Japanese soldiers on the road poked their heads and looked around.
The battlefield returned to calm.
Smoke was everywhere on the road, and Japanese medical soldiers were carrying first-aid kits and treating wounded soldiers who had fallen to the ground.
However, these three or four Japanese medical soldiers were obviously not enough in number compared to the hundreds of injured Japanese soldiers.
Tamaki Ling held the Browning pistol and looked around cautiously.
In fact, in the Japanese army, there are no hard and fast regulations on what pistols serving officers must use, and they will not issue pistols to officers.
The pistols used by Japanese military officers were purchased with their own money.
Tamaki Ling, like most Japs officers, since they all paid for it, why spend money to buy a Southern Type 14 pistol that doesn't even go off to commit suicide.
This kind of junk pistol was not only disliked by the Eighth Route Army, but also criticized a lot within the Japanese army.
As long as Japanese military officers have a little money, most of them will buy an imported Colt 7.65 mm caliber pistol or the famous Browning pistol.
As for the Fourteen Southern Types, even if they buy them, they won't use them. They usually hang them on their waists as cards, which is equivalent to supporting their own weapons.
Yumuling frowned. He never imagined that the enemy would dare to come a second time after ambushing their transport team not long ago.
However, Tamaki Ling did not panic at all. He led an infantry brigade this time, and in order to prevent an ambush, he also carried a lot of heavy weapons.
I thought I wouldn't encounter an ambush team this time, but when I heard the explosion, instead of panicking, Tamaki Rei became even more excited.
For Tamaki Ling, the ambushing troops around him were just a victory that was about to be added to his military career.
The Imperial Army is fully preparing for a mopping-up operation. If it can annihilate an Eighth Route Army unit before the mopping-up begins, it will inevitably reduce the effective strength of the surrounding Eighth Route Army.
In recent times, the Northern Shanxi Imperial Army has not had any decent results. If it can completely wipe out an Eighth Route Army, it will definitely be a great achievement for him.
There are military merits and rewards, which will also be of great benefit to future promotions.
"Commander, look, all the little devils have been blown away by us." Zhang Dabiao pointed down and said happily.
The leader's idea was indeed a good one. The first wave of grenade bombing alone killed at least two to three hundred Japs and injured them, greatly weakening the Japs' strength.
"Stop having fun, order the machine gunners to prepare to fire, and give the Japanese a hard time!" Li Yunlong shouted sternly.
Immediately, he picked up a Sanba Gai beside him and aimed at a Japanese medical soldier on the road.
The medic was sticking his butt out and trying to pull a wounded soldier on the ground to a hiding place. He didn't notice at all that a gun was aimed at his head.
"boom!"
A sudden gunshot suddenly resounded on the highway.
Tamaki Ling's thoughts were also pulled back. He nervously held the Browning pistol and looked around.
A Japanese medical soldier who was treating wounded soldiers suddenly fell to the ground, with a bloody hole the size of a fist appearing on his head.
The wounded Japanese soldier lying on the ground looked at the dead body lying on his body, and suddenly he screamed in fright and struggled on the ground desperately.
The medical soldier who came to save him was actually beaten to death by others, which cast a huge shadow on the wounded soldier's heart.
The sound of the gunshot frightened the surrounding Japanese soldiers. They all picked up their pistols and looked for traces of the shooter, but they could not see anything except weeds.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, just when the Japanese soldiers couldn't touch the north.
A series of gunshots like fried beans suddenly rang out, and the soldiers who were ambushing on both sides of the road leaned out, aimed at the Japanese soldiers below and pulled the triggers.
The machine gunners of the new regiment were holding light machine guns and kept pulling the triggers. A dozen light machine guns were spitting flames towards the road, mowing down seven or eight Japanese soldiers in an instant.
"First hit the Japanese officers, then the Japanese machine gunners and grenade launchers!" Li Yunlong shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Remember, if you fight again and again, you must be sure to damage the materials below!"
Li Yunlong's fighting style is basically the same as Ding Wei's. The Japs have very strong combat capabilities, but as long as they kill the Japs officers, they will cut off the Japs' fire support.
The Japanese soldiers who lost their command and lost their fire support would soon turn into loose sand, like plates of fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
Following Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers changed their shooting targets one after another. However, any officer with a military rank would inevitably have to be carefully taken care of by the soldiers.
The machine gun and grenade positions newly established by the Japanese soldiers were also baptized by bullets.
Firelights flickered on both sides of the highway, and bullets like a violent rain rained down on the Japanese soldiers below as if they were free of charge.
Under the fierce firepower of the new group, the Japanese soldiers of this transport team fell one after another.
Tamaki Ling looked at the red lights flashing on the hills on both sides. Tamaki Ling was completely dumbfounded. Judging from the sound of gunshots, the enemy numbered at least three to four thousand.
This is the number of people in three groups.
Damn it.
What on earth were those vanguards doing? They didn't realize that there were so many enemies ambushing around them.
But the next moment.
Yumuling suddenly realized that she had most likely encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
But what puzzles Yumuling is how on earth did this army lurk here silently?
But at this time.
Tamaki Ling can no longer think about these problems.
Seeing the soldiers around her weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, Tamaki Ling could no longer hold back and immediately turned to her adjutant and shouted:
"Mr. Qingkong, send a message to Dingyang County immediately, saying that we have been attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army and asking them to rush out of the city to support us!"
The three regiments of the Eighth Route Army must have gathered all the strength that the surrounding Eighth Route Army can muster. They can just take this opportunity to annihilate them all here and severely damage the Eighth Route Army troops.
"Hai!" Yu Aozora, Tamaki Rei's adjutant, immediately took the order.
After Yumuling saw the telegram sent with her own eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief.
On the battlefield.
The Japanese soldiers are still fighting back tenaciously.
The fighting power of the little devils is indeed impressive. Despite the firepower coming from all directions, they were still able to fight back and forth with the New Regiment of more than 3,000 people.
There was even a small group of Japanese soldiers trying to charge towards a spot on the hill with weak firepower.
If Li Yunlong hadn't reacted quickly and dispatched two light machine guns to support, there would have been holes in the defense line.
…
Dingyang County.
Higashinojima is in the headquarters, waiting for the good news about the arrival of Tamaki Rei's transportation supplies.
suddenly.
He saw a soldier holding a piece of information in his hand and running towards him in a hurry.
"Your Excellency, Major, Your Excellency, Colonel Tamaki called urgently. The transport team was ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Colonel Tamaki asked us to go out of the city to support us. We must surround this Eighth Route Army!" the Japanese superior soldier said urgently.
"What are you talking about? The transport team was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army again?" Higashinoshima said in disbelief.
He never imagined that after ambushing the transport team once more, those Tubal soldiers would dare to ambush it a second time.
What made him most agitated was that he did not lead his troops to go to them, but those Tubal people took the initiative to provoke them again.
"What did you just say, that it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army that ambushed the transport team?" Higashinojima asked as if he had remembered something.
"Hai!" the Japanese superior soldier paused and said, "His Majesty Colonel, he said that the enemy's firepower is fierce, and the number of them is at least 3,000."
"3,000 people!"
After hearing this number, Higashinoshima was shocked.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "The Eighth Route Army is so generous. This is at least the number of three regiments. They actually go to war for a transport team."
But then, Higashinojima showed a ferocious smile, and Higashinojima was preparing to do something to make up for his previous mistakes.
I didn't expect this opportunity to come. If we could completely annihilate the three main forces of the Eighth Route Army, it would be a great achievement.
Although the rear area is safe, there are very few opportunities to achieve military exploits. But now a valuable military exploit is right in front of him. How can Higashinojima give up so easily?
"Immediately call the surrounding stronghold troops and order them to immediately send troops to Sunset Slope for support!" Higashinoshima said sharply.
"No matter what, we must surround this Eighth Route Army and completely annihilate them here!
In addition, call back to Colonel Tamaki immediately and ask them to hold on for a while, and support from the city will arrive soon!"
"Hai!" The Japanese superior soldier stood up, nodded, and ran down quickly.
Kazuya Higashinojima quickly left the headquarters and walked towards the headquarters square.
