"Regiment Commander, report in a row that the Japanese and puppet troops have all entered their pockets!" The guard suddenly reminded.

The regiment commander did not hesitate to speak, but directly used actions instead of orders, staring at the Japanese squadron leader and pulling the trigger without hesitation.

As soon as the gunshot sounded, dense rain of bullets shot out from the barrel and headed straight for the Japanese squadron leader.

The roads under your feet have been reconnaissed by the vanguard troops. It is impossible for an enemy to be present. The Japanese army was on the way without any vigilance.

After being attacked suddenly, the squadron leader with a shocked face had no time to make any moves, two machine gun bullets had already roared and penetrated into his body.

All three guards and messengers were spared, and they all received at least one bullet.

The gunshots were orders. More than 20 light and heavy machine guns scattered on the ambush positions joined the battle together with more than 700 rifles. In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand bullets flew towards the Japanese in the middle of the team.

The worst thing is that the Japanese heavy machine gun squad and mortar squad, carrying weapons several times heavier than ordinary infantry, and also keeping up with the speed of infantry marching, which makes them more tired than ordinary infantry.

When a person is tired, his reaction speed must be much slower than usual.

What hit them was heavy machine guns with faster firing speed, stronger firepower and stronger bullet penetration.

The firepower net woven by four flame tongues instantly fooled sixty or seventy gunners and machine gunners. As long as a Japanese were hit by a heavy machine gun bullet, they would either die or be injured. There were also many bullets pierced the body of the first Japanese and then continued to fly towards the second Japanese...

When all the living Japanese were lying down, four heavy machine guns had killed twenty or thirty Japanese.

The remaining Japanese, regardless of the scattered weapons, left their weapons, hugged their heads and remained motionless.

But the heavy machine gun was mounted on the high ground, and the bullets flew down to the highway. Even if they were lying on the ground, some soldiers were still hit by the bullets. They crawled in the back and came out of their chests. They didn't even have a chance to scream, and turned into corpses on the spot.

"The enemy's firepower is too strong, the heavy machine gun will fight back immediately to suppress the opponent's firepower!" The heavy machine gun squad leader was lucky enough to die and immediately ordered.

The artillery squad leader also reacted from his shock and crawled towards the mortar parts not far away while ordering: "Hurry up the mortar and destroy the enemy's heavy machine gun position...dongdongdongdong..."

Before the order was finished, a string of heavy machine gun bullets flew towards him, two bullets just entered the back, and three gunners who had just taken action were also hit by the string of bullets...

The squad leader died, and a commander Cao took over the command of the artillery squad.

He happened to be lying next to a mortar part and quickly called on the surroundings to remove the cannon. As soon as the mortar barrel was raised, before he could adjust it, the heavy machine gun bullets were already roaring...

Chief Cao and his three subordinates were beaten into sieves, and the mortar that had not yet been assembled fell to the ground again...

The situation of the heavy machine gun squad is even worse. Although the heavy machine gun does not need to be assembled and can be fired on the ground, all the Japanese who want to get close to the heavy machine gun were killed.

In just half a minute, at least five machine gunners were killed next to each heavy machine gun.

The still alive machine gunner was afraid, and no matter how the commander shouted, he did not dare to touch the heavy machine gun...

"The trumpet officer, blow the charge, the whole army attacks...kill..."

Seeing that there were less than one hundred Japanese on the road, many Japanese hid behind the bodies of comrades and put the machine gun on the bodies to counterattack. The ambush troops had already begun to suffer casualties. The regiment commander decisively issued an order to attack, not giving the Japanese a chance to continue firing.

Their gunman is so good that they carry enough ammunition. If they continue to shoot, not only will the ambush troops bear more serious casualties, but the troops will seize less ammunition after the battle.

The Eighth Route Army's military strength advantage lies. No matter how strong the Japanese are, they can't beat four hands with two fists. They were killed in less than twenty minutes...

After the last Japanese was stabbed to death by a bayonet, the warriors immediately cheered on the road.

Several battalion company commanders rushed to the regiment commander like they had eaten candied fruit: "Captain, we won!"

"More than 600 Japanese and puppet troops were really wiped out by us in one battle. It's so scary. I didn't dare to think about it before!"

A company commander next to him followed and reported: "Captain, we seem to be rich again. The three mortars and three heavy machine guns brought by the Japanese were seized by us before they could use them!"

"I just went to see it. The heavy machine gun and mortar were all intact. Twelve boxes of heavy machine gun bullets and twenty-four boxes of shells were seized!"

The political commissar who rushed over also had a smile on his face: "We have seized the 38th cover and crooked handles of the Japanese infantry equipment, and less than 30 rifles were destroyed!"

"I didn't dare to think about this before. I estimated it a little. We had seized more than 200 pieces of this battle, including sixteen crooked handles and sixteen grenade launchers."

"The old sleeves of the puppet army equipment are made in Hanyang, and there are 300 pieces in total!"

"With these weapons and equipment, our gun platoon and heavy machine gun platoon can not only be immediately expanded into gun company and heavy machine gun company, but also the three main battalions can also be expanded into four main battalions!"

"It's better to be equipped to fight the Japanese quickly!" The regiment commander was very happy and looked at his subordinates with a happy expression.

"We were poor before, and it took two hours to destroy an infantry squadron of the Japanese. When the battle ended, the ammunition carried by the Japanese was basically wiped out, and the weapons were almost destroyed by them."

"The weapons and ammunition seized after one battle cannot even be used up, resulting in the weaker the troops fighting."

"Now the equipment has improved. The battle will be over in half an hour after the two infantry squadrons were eliminated. Most of the Japanese were killed before they could shoot, and all the weapons and ammunition were seized by us. Once the equipment is ready, the next battle will be easier, the time to eliminate Japanese will be shorter, and more weapons and ammunition will be seized!"

"As we continue this, our strength will become stronger and stronger!"

"The baggage company stayed to clean the battlefield and guarded the prisoners. The main force of the regiment gathered immediately and went with me to clean up the remaining two reinforcements. All the light and heavy machine guns just seized were brought with them. Each battalion company directly replenished ammunition from the battlefield and set off in ten minutes!"

"The first battalion, the guard company, and the heavy machine gun platoon followed me to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops who were dragged by the third battalion!"

"Second Battalion, artillery platoon, go with the political commissar to hold the Japanese and puppet troops with the most troops, and then go and meet with you after I finish the weakest reinforcements!"

"The National Salvation Army has created such a good opportunity to fight the Japanese, and has also sent so many weapons and ammunition. We must seize the opportunity to fight a good battle, otherwise God will look down on us!"

At 3:30 in the morning, the siege troops successfully captured Jingxing County.

The main force of the more than 2,000 regiments of the National Salvation Army and the people temporarily organized by the Eighth Route Army immediately began to transport and seize the materials from the arsenal and grain warehouses to other places in the city, and reserved them separately to prevent the Japanese army from bombing the ammunition warehouse and grain warehouses and to take the materials and ammunition inside in one pot.

At four o'clock in the morning, the Chief of Staff successfully captured the Jingxing Coal Mine.

Several independent battalions involved in the attack, the puppet army prisoners who had just been captured, and the thousands of absentees rescued from the coal mine, immediately engaged in the rush to transport the materials and equipment that could be moved out of the mine area to hide before dawn.

At 8:30 in the morning, the roar of planes sounded at the same time over the coal mine and the county town.

In less than ten minutes, the mining area and county arsenal were bombed into ruins...

The commander was clearly relieved when the Japanese Army Command of Shimen received a report of successful bombing of the aviation force.

But I was not completely relieved and frowned and continued to order: "Let the air force dispatch the same number of aircraft to blow it up again, especially the arsenal and grain warehouses in Jingxing City. If there are too many bombs, I will also blow up the Imperial Army base and command center in the city. I must not let the enemy get the weapons, ammunition and supplies in the city!"

The Chief of Staff did not immediately take the order, but hesitated to remind: "Will we do this a little too much? It is too wasteful of aviation bombs, and it may make the aviation army feel that we don't believe in the results of their bombing!"

"Baga, what do you know?" The commander was extremely disappointed with the Chief of Staff in front of him.

If he hadn't repeatedly persuaded himself to change his mind and split his troops to reinforce Jingxing Coal Mine and the county town, the Shimen garrison would not have lost the Imperial Army of the two infantry brigades and the two regiments for no reason.

However, the commander was not an unreasonable person. In order to convince the Chief of Staff, he decided to briefly explain the reason for doing so. As for whether he could understand it, it had nothing to do with him.

Frowning and analyzing: "The Eighth Route Army will definitely participate in the battle tonight. Even if they don't lead the battle, they will get a lot of spoils if they win now, from the truth or reason."

"We have too much ammunition and supplies in Jingxing City. Even if it is only 20% or 30%, the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei will increase sharply, which will threaten the safety of the Imperial Army Hebei garrison. At that time, it will not be able to solve the problem with a few aviation bombs."

"So I would rather waste a few more aviation bombs now than let the Eighth Route Army get the food, weapons and ammunition they are in urgent need from Jingxing County!"

"The same is true for the enemies who led this battle tonight. Although I don't know their true identities, the weapons and ammunition we reserve in Jingxing City will definitely provide great help to their development."

"Waste a few more bombs to completely destroy their seizures. Their battle to attack Jingxing County will probably not be worth the loss, and the overall strength of the enemy will become weaker and weaker."

Speaking of this, the commander pointed his finger at the intelligence department again, staring at the chief of staff Li Sheng and questioned: "Bageya Road, the enemy armored troops and cavalry units have appeared for several hours. Has the intelligence department yet found out their identities?"

The chief of staff was almost down to his crotch, and he replied in a low voice: "No news has been heard yet!"

"Research Force reports: the enemy arranged a large number of guard posts around the battlefield, and our intelligence officers were arrested as soon as they entered their guard range!"

"More than 30 intelligence officers and scouts have been lost. However, they have found ways to infiltrate a few people, and the intelligence should be transmitted back soon!"

Ten minutes later, the intelligence officer rushed into the war room.

After seeing the commander, he was released again and reported nervously: "Your Excellency Commander, we have found the true identity of the chariot troops!"

"They are from Shanxi National Salvation Army. Beiyi specifically checked it. The National Salvation Army did use the chariots and horses of the captured Imperial Army to form an armored and cavalry unit that cannot be underestimated!"

"Our intelligence personnel lurking in Jingxing City also reported that the siege troops were the National Salvation Army!"

"As far as I know, the main activities of the National Salvation Army are in the pacification area. The first two times that were captured in Jingxing County were all taken by the National Salvation Army. I didn't expect that they would dare to attack the third time!"

The commander's eyes immediately widened, and it was obvious that he had heard of the National Salvation Army.

Walk to the sand table in two steps in three steps.

The Chief of Staff immediately found the location of the pacification on the sand table: "The National Salvation Army Defense Zone is separated from the Jingxing Mine Area, a Zhengtai Railway. In the past, the Shanxi garrison stationed heavy troops on the railway, and they had almost no possibility of leaping the railway. However, a few days ago, Taiyuan was attacked, and half of the garrisons on the Zhengtai Railway were transferred, resulting in a large number of defense loopholes in the Zhengtai Railway!"

"The National Salvation Army has the opportunity to cross the Zhengtai Railway and enter the mining area!"

"I also learned that the cavalry units under the National Salvation Army are very powerful. They not only have an enhanced cavalry battalion, but also form a cavalry company for each garrison. All cavalry under their command have a total of more than one thousand."

"Their artillery strength is also very strong!"

Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff immediately drew out another piece of information sent by the intelligence officer, and while reading, he introduced: "This piece of information records the general situation of the raided mixed brigade of the National Salvation Army."

"The above said that the battlefield where the mixed brigade was attacked was covered with artillery shell craters. The Eighth Route Army's artillery troops were very weak and there were very few artillery shells. It was impossible to organize such a large-scale artillery fire coverage, so those artillery shells must have been fired by the National Salvation Army."

Hearing this, the commander was 80% sure that his opponent was the National Salvation Army.

He raised his eyebrows and began to give an order: "Contact the Taiyuan garrison immediately and inform them of the attack of our National Salvation Army. Please send all the information about the National Salvation Army and their real forces within half a month by telegram. The faster the better!"

"The intelligence department and the reconnaissance force cannot rest yet. I immediately figure out the true strength of the National Salvation Army entering the mining area. The more detailed the better. I also need to figure out how many Eighth Route Army cooperated in combat and where they came from. It is best to find the hiding place of the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army, and cooperate with the aviation force to attack them from the sky!"

"We know ourselves and our enemy, and we will never be defeated in a hundred battles. We can no longer fight a foolish relationship with our opponents, nor can we think as if we were in the middle of the night. We can only fight based on our own guesses and judgments. We must understand the enemy before we can formulate the next combat plan!"

The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan have been brightly lit for several consecutive days, but the atmosphere in the war room is not as tense as two days ago.

After more and more reinforcements arrived in Taiyuan, the chances of Taiyuan City being conquered were gradually decreasing, and the battlefield initiative has also been returned to the hands of Shanxi garrisons.

Many staff members have already proposed the idea of ​​counterattacking the commander, but they are all suppressed by the commander on the grounds that the time is not yet ripe.

The commander, who had been nervous for several days, rarely relaxed and returned to the room and slept soundly as soon as it was dark.

The Chief of Staff was also tired, but the battle was not over yet, and he and the commander had to leave one person on duty.

The commander went to rest, and he could only continue to stay in the war room and take a break in his spare time.
Chapter completed!
