Chapter 045, Ambush Changshengkou

Today is the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar. The team set off at dusk and then walked until now. Everyone was very tired.

At this time, the moon came up, and the bright moonlight shone through the clean air in the valley, and could vaguely distinguish the scenery in the valley.

It’s also a blessing that today is a clear day, so everyone can still use the moonlight to marches, otherwise the journey would not be so smooth.

"Sharp Knife Squad, go down the valley and investigate and move forward in the direction of Banqiao! The independent platoon, leave two people to accompany Comrade Lei Dapeng here to wait, and the others follow me to go down to Changshengkou!" Li Yunlong was a decisive person. Although the soldiers were all tired, he still let the troops continue to march.

Li Yunlong's approach was right. While the moon was bright, the team just passed through the valley and arrived near Banqiao Village to understand the terrain and enemy situation. Then, they could rest on the spot for a while and wait for the moon to go down before moving in the dark.

"Doctor, Lao Fan, you two accompany Lei Dapeng to wait for us to come back! Remember, you must protect Dapeng's safety!" The Eighth Route Army went down the mountain. After Zhao Fengnian gave an order, he also took the guerrillas down the hillside and headed towards Changshengkou Village.

"Stop, the sharp knife squad will go to investigate the terrain first, and everyone will rest on the spot!" After passing the Changshengkou River, Li Yunlong ordered everyone to take a break for a while, and the vanguard squad's sharp knife squad continued to touch Banqiao Village.

Looking at the vanguards moving forward rapidly in the moonlight, Hu Changyi nodded secretly. This was the serious elite eight-way elite and the master of night battles.

Speaking of night battles, our old Li said that our soldiers all came all the Long March, and this is the one we are best at! Moreover, so far, our soldiers, including Lao Li, have only seen the dead Japanese devils in the Dragon King Temple, and they all want to fight with the Japanese.

Our old Li is also holding on! Why?

Just the day before yesterday, the 769th Regiment, which was also part of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division, sneaked into Yangmingbao Airport in Xinkou area at night, blowing up 24 planes, greatly supporting the front battlefield of Xinkou.

Also, while they were resting in Zhishakou, the brothers in Xinkou area also bombed the Tongpu Railway in Yunzhongshan area.

The day before yesterday, the 120th Division's people came to an ambush at Yanmen Pass in the north of Xinkou area, killing many Japanese soldiers and burning more than 100 cars. Not to mention that, they also bombed the roads and bridges from Guangwu to Taiheling.

And just this morning, the 120th Division members killed many Japanese soldiers in Heishotougou near Yanmen Pass and destroyed more than 20 cars.

That's not all. The 115th Division, which won the Pingxingguan victory, recently went out of Mount Wutai and returned to Pingxingguan, and even occupied Pingxingguan for a while.

All of this all illustrates a problem, that is, the more than 50,000 Itagaki Division members attacking Xinkou area have completely lost their logistics supply lines. Not only bullets, but the shells cannot be transported, and even the food is almost gone.

The more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers consumed a lot of food in one day, and they also had to fight and ammunition. As long as the elite Central Army guarding the Xinkou line rushed out and took the initiative to attack.

It won’t take long to consume the existing artillery shells of the Japanese, and even consume the bullets. The Japanese without artillery shells and bullets will not even be full of food and will not even have the strength to fight for bayonets.

Of course, the premise is to take the initiative to attack and do not defend the entire line!

Once the Itagaki Division cannot hold on and is defeated or even annihilated, the second war zone can draw enough troops and equipment to transport these troops and equipment to the front line of Niangzi Pass through the Zhengtai Railway.

With these new forces joining, the lady guards this side!

Therefore, our old Li is still very confident in the victory of this battle! In his eyes, even a leader of a small mud-legged group can see the problems, and people like Chief Yan will definitely see them, and even see them further...

Therefore, Li Yunlong felt that he had to do a beautiful night attack tonight, and at least he had to destroy the Japanese in the back mountain in the northwest of Banqiao Village.

Although those Japanese were engineers among the Japanese, they seemed to have poor combat effectiveness. But once those Japanese went to the old gate to help repair fortifications, it would be a nightmare for the troops that counterattacked the old gate.

"Captain, report to the commander, about a company of Japanese soldiers came from Banqiao Village!" The vanguards walked towards Banqiao Village and rushed back soon, and also informed Li Yunlong of the important news.

"Haha, if I don't go to find them, they have come out by themselves!" Li Yunlong was happy when he heard the news.

"How far is the Japanese from here? Have you noticed you?" Li Yunlong continued to ask.

"Report, it's very close to this place. We met the Japanese from afar and then returned. The Japanese didn't notice us at all!" said the leader of the Sharp Knife Squad.

"See, you can't stop this good luck when you come! The Japanese are rushing to deliver vegetables to us! After my order, everyone immediately ambushed on the hillsides on both sides of Changshengkou. 7th Company, you are in the northwest, 8th Company, you go to the southeast... Independently platoon, you go to Changshengkou Village to ambush!" Li Yunlong gave the order decisively.

"I understand! Company 7, come with me, the elm cannons are ready..." Company 7 led the people up the hillside.

Li Yunlong was not idle either, so he took the Eighth Company to the river mouth and went to the opposite hillside. As for Hu Changyi and the others, they also entered Changshengkou Village under the leadership of Zhao Fengnian.

"Captain, we are lying in ambush at the entrance of the village?" Hu Changyi asked when he arrived at the entrance of the village.

"Well, judging from that posture, this group of Japanese devils are completely unprepared. Once they are attacked, there is a great possibility of coming here! So, we are ambushing here! This is a threshing ground, that is, the river ditch, we are setting ambush here!"

"Changyi, you take Li Tieniu here, I take Guo Dezhu's machine gun team there, which is just in front of him! The others are looking for bunkers to fight in the middle. Remember, you can immediately retract and load when you shoot! There is also an elm cannon on the same side, and we both ignite the fire!"

Zhao Fengnian has rich combat experience. Although he does not have the concept of cross-fire, he instinctively knows that this arrangement is the safest. Moreover, there are only two veterans in the field, one of them is just right with a heavy firepower.

The arrangement of the guerrillas was a little panicked, but the positions were quickly arranged. Thanks to the military training these days, these guerrillas' ability to execute orders has greatly improved.

As for the Eighth Route Army... I don’t know how many times I have fought in such a battle, so I have been ready for it long ago...
