Although Captain Li's marksmanship is not as good as Zhao Gang's.
He couldn't shoot accurately at a distance of 1,700 meters, but at a distance of more than 100 meters, there was a cross sight, so it wasn't one shot at a time?
When Zhao Gang lent him the gun, he also told him not to participate in hand-to-hand combat.
hehe…
What's so fun about hand-to-hand combat? Wouldn't it be fun to headshot the Japs with a large-caliber sniper rifle?
Li Yunlong was also thinking about whether he could do another business in the future and ask Brother Chen to send a large-caliber sniper rifle as a gift.
It is specially used to shoot Japs' heads. From now on, it will not be called the Barrett large-caliber sniper rifle, but it will be called the Japs Headshot Gun or the Japs Happy Gun.
Thinking like this, Li Yunlong looked through the withered grass in front of him and saw a small group of Japanese soldiers patrolling along the railway from the direction of Niangziguan.
Immediately, he quickly ordered the soldiers and himself to lower their heads so that their entire bodies were behind the slope.
The Japanese patrol team walked to the location where the engineers of the engineering company had buried the explosives. One of the Japanese sergeants suddenly squatted down.
Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong and the soldiers couldn't help but feel their hearts tightening.
There are a lot of stones under the railway tracks, and explosives are buried under the stones. We cannot rule out the possibility that the Japanese may have discovered anything unusual.
Fortunately, the Japanese soldier Cao just squatted down to tie his shoelaces and found nothing unusual. Seeing the Japanese patrol team go away, Li Yunlong and the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the first company commander of the artillery battalion of the new regiment and the artillerymen arrived with the cannon and howitzer, nearly 0 minutes behind the main force.
There was nothing that could be done about it. The howitzer was too heavy, and even three mules and horses couldn't move it fast.
This howitzer and Menshan gun are heavy armored trains used to deal with the Japanese.
Although radio-guided long-range bombardment can also hit, it is also easy to hit the train.
After all, the trains carry ammunition and supplies. If the train is hit by a cannonball, it may cause the entire train to explode, which will really make all the work in vain.
So Li Yunlong used the Menshan cannon and the Men howitzer to deal with the Japanese heavy armored trains.
In addition, the three mountain cannons of the mountain artillery battalion, under the leadership of battalion commander Wang Chengzhu, built artillery positions a few kilometers away and aimed at Niangzi Pass.
As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength and strike later to suffer disaster. It is better to strike decisively than to miss a good opportunity.
In order to prevent a war starting here, a brigade of Japanese soldiers from Niangzi Pass rushed to help, and they first used mountain artillery groups to cover Niangzi Pass with artillery fire.
A Japanese mobile brigade located 11 kilometers away from the Zhengtai Railway east of Niangziguan was served by the brigade artillery regiment.
Don’t you little devil like to rush for help?
Labor and management will use artillery groups to knock out your reinforcements. Let's see what reinforcements you use?
As for the Japanese troops further away, the nearest one is 1 kilometer away, and it will take at least nearly an hour to get there, but the brigade commander has already arranged the blocking troops.
The Men 7 mountain cannon and the Men 10 howitzer were arranged on the flanks of the ambush position, and they would later aim at the Japanese heavy armored vehicles and shoot directly.
Today is also the first show of 10 howitzers. Previously, the artillerymen used training ammunition. Not only the artillerymen, but also the soldiers and Li Yunlong are looking forward to it.
It depends on which howitzer can take the little devil's first blood first.
During this time, the soldiers of the engineer company ran to the railway again and connected the explosives with wires and detonators.
About 10 minutes later, a military train and a heavy armored train coming from the direction of Jingxing County appeared in view.
The sound of gnawing and gnawing could be heard from 1 kilometer away, and thick smoke billowed from the locomotive's chimney.
"Get ready to fight!" Li Yunlong looked sternly and shouted in a low voice, and there was a sound of gun bolts rattling behind the slope.
Seeing the Japanese heavy armored mine vehicle driving over the explosives, Li Yunlong shouted again: "Detonate!"
The engineer company commander Huang Zhiqiang beside him turned the detonator modified by a telephone in his hand, and then pressed it.
"Boom!" The moment Captain Huang pressed the detonator, a deafening explosion sounded in front of him, and two balls of fireballs and smoke suddenly burst out.
I saw the electric car and carbon water car of the heavy armored train being lifted up violently.
A large section of railway track and the two front carriages were instantly destroyed by explosives.
Electric vehicles and carburetors are the power systems of heavy armored vehicles. Once the power system is destroyed, the entire armored vehicle will lose power.
However, the six carriages behind continued to move forward under the strong inertia, and the first carriage that was blown up was directly pushed away.
However, because the rails were blown up, the six carriages behind them derailed instantly.
The Japanese heavy armored train is about 100 meters long. The engineer company cannot lay so many explosives and connect them to the detonator in a short period of time.
So the explosives planted only blew up one armored train.
However, the main task of the engineer company is to blow up the railway tracks.
The Japanese driver on the military column saw this scene in the cab and pulled the brake handle down, and the wheels of the entire military column immediately stopped rotating.
The train braked suddenly and the iron wheels rubbed against the rails, making an extremely harsh sound, sparks and lightning along the way.
As we all know, the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.
The weight of the train plus the full load of 1,000 tons of ammunition and supplies makes it difficult to stop the train even at 30 kilometers per hour.
The rear of the Japanese heavy-armored train was only 0 meters away from the front of the locomotive. It was impossible to stop at this distance.
The locomotive slammed into the guard car at the rear of the heavy armored train, pushing the Japanese heavy armored train dozens of meters away before it stopped. Both cars derailed.
The Japanese in the heavy armored vehicle had just been beaten to a pulp, but before they could recover, they were rear-ended by a military column...
At this time, whether it was the Japanese in the heavy armored train or the Japanese in the military escort, everything was in chaos.
There were even Japanese soldiers and machine guns on the roof of the train who were thrown off the train by the strong inertia.
In the command car of the military column, Major Yusuke Koike, who was in charge of the escort, stood up the moment the military column stopped, and his face instantly became gloomy and angry.
Baga, you dare to rob the Imperial Japanese Army's military columns, you are simply looking for death!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Request tactical guidance from the First Army Headquarters immediately!" Koike Yusuke turned to the telegraph soldier and shouted.
Then he shouted to the telephone soldier: "Command the Imperial Army warriors in each carriage to get off the car and defend on the spot, so that the enemy can have a taste of the power of the Imperial Army warriors of the Empire of Japan!"
"Hi!" The telephone soldier immediately picked up the phone and informed the Japanese in each carriage.
As the call went out, the compartment door of the military train was suddenly opened, and the Japanese jumped out of the car with rifles in hand.
"Fire!" Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong gave the order without hesitation, and at the same time, he aimed at the head of a Japanese lieutenant and pulled the trigger.
This Japanese lieutenant had just jumped off the train, holding a pistol in his hand and screaming loudly.
The next moment, the Japanese Lieutenant's head exploded instantly, and the headless body fell to the ground like a wooden stake.
Through the sight of the scope, Li Yunlong could not help but feel happy when he saw the ammunition boxes piled higher than people in the carriage behind the Japanese.
The dense gunfire crackled like firecrackers, and the Japanese who had no cover were shot and fell in large numbers in an instant.
After killing a Japanese lieutenant, Li Yunlong quickly targeted a Japanese machine gunner on the roof of the train.
Pulling the trigger was accompanied by a sudden shock to his shoulder. The Japs' machine gunner's head exploded instantly. The helmet couldn't even block ordinary rifle bullets, let alone Barrett's bullets. The Japs deputy shooter was obviously a little confused, but
He quickly reacted and took over from the machine gunner to continue shooting, but the next second his head exploded like the machine gunner's.
The Japanese escorting the military brigade was attacked by new regiments and main battalions, and was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back.
Although the Japanese machine guns in the heavy armored train continued to fire, it was of no avail.
The Japanese gunner inside was looking for a target to aim at.
However, the artillerymen of the new regiment moved one step faster and quickly completed aiming and loading the shells into the chamber.
With several muffled bangs, the Japanese heavy armored train was shot instantly and burst into flames.
Coupled with the auxiliary attack of the bazooka rocket launcher, the remaining 6 armored trains were completely destroyed within a few minutes.
When the artillery battalion of the new regiment heard the roaring sound of artillery, they immediately opened fire and poured artillery shells towards Niangziguan.
Less than a month had passed since Niangziguan was bombed, and the entire Niangziguan Railway Station was instantly shrouded in the smoke of rumbling artillery fire.
Last time, 6 mountain cannons fired simultaneously. This time, 3 mountain cannons fired simultaneously, which was 6 more than last time.
The artillery regiment of the brigade was even more damaged, and the observers waited until the Japanese mobile brigade was about to complete its assembly before calling the mountain artillery group on the radio for bombardment.
As a result, as soon as the Japs finished gathering and before the Japs captain gave the order, groups of artillery shells rained down on the Japs' heads.
The Japanese were blown away in an instant, let alone the troops rushing to reinforce them. Under the continuous bombardment of an artillery regiment, they could not even assemble.
This is to strike first to gain advantage and to strike later will suffer disaster.
…
"Your Excellency, the Commander, Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, and Major Koike reported that the military column was attacked by the Eighth Route Army one kilometer east of Niangziguan, requesting tactical guidance!"
In Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
After listening to the report of the signal soldier who came in with a telegram in a hurry, Shinozuka Yoshio and Kusuyama Hideyoshi were both stunned.
Shinozuka Yoshio's face was filled with disbelief and incredulity.
The military column was attacked wildly?
Why is the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army so accurate, able to clearly know which army columns have ammunition and supplies?
Baga, who leaked the information?
Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly looked at Kusuyama Hideyoshi with a scrutinizing gaze, his brows furrowed.
Kusuyama Hideyoshi couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw him, and said quickly: "Your Excellency, Commander, now we should immediately order the mobile detachments to rush to the reinforcements. Since the Eighth Route Army chose to attack halfway, it means that the Eighth Route Army is very sure and has done enough.
Prepared."
Before Yoshio Shinozuka could give the order, a communications soldier ran in holding a telegram, paused and said:
"The Second Mobile Brigade was under heavy shelling from eight directions and is temporarily unable to rush to reinforce the troops!"
"Niangzi's Guanzhong Village Brigade was severely bombarded by the Eighth Route Army and is temporarily unable to rush to reinforce the troops!"
"Baga!" Shinozuka Yoshio angrily pulled out his command knife. Seeing this, the two communications soldiers hurriedly stopped and ran back to the communications room next door.
"Order, all aviation units are dispatched, all trains and mobile groups are dispatched, and the 13th Cavalry Regiment is dispatched."
"Reinforce the troops at all costs!"
"Hi!"
Kusuyama Hideyoshi suddenly paused, then quickly took out a pen and paper to draft a telegram.
He knew very well that Commander Shinozuka was really anxious this time.
