Hurrying slowly, Zhang Chu arrived at Yangquan Railway Station smoothly.
Ding Wei had already led his troops to the perimeter in advance, but did not launch an attack immediately to avoid alerting the Japanese.
A team of four hundred people hibernated quietly around Yangquan Railway Station.
The Japanese patrol passed by from a distance, but did not notice anything.
However, the attack distance is also relatively long.
There are a large number of gun towers around the train station. If you want to attack by force, you must use field artillery.
Facing some solid gun towers, the power of infantry artillery is insufficient.
But now Ding Wei and the others only brought two infantry artillery pieces. The field artillery and other items were all left behind in Fan County.
"The situation is not good. The Japanese have increased their troops."
"How to say?"
"The Japs came in a brigade from the direction of Taiyuan. Now, there are two Japanese aggressor brigade inside the train station. There are also some other troops."
"What's going on inside?"
"We haven't contacted the comrades on the inside yet. It's probably because the Japanese invaders have tightened the blockade and we can't contact them."
"I guess there is something important going on at the train station..."
Zhang Chu was not surprised.
That's how fighting is. You are changing, and so are the enemies.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese invaders is still at its peak. In the East Asian battlefield, no one can defeat them.
Even when the Pacific War broke out, at the beginning of the war, Britain and the United States were no match at all.
As for France, it will soon be no match. The Japanese army will soon invade French Indochina, which is Vietnam.
All this is related to Hitler's victory in the European battlefield.
Invasion of Denmark and Norway in April.
Invasion of France in May.
Germany will soon sweep across Europe.
France will soon surrender.
By then, the Axis powers' momentum will reach its peak.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese army will definitely be full of self-confidence. It will further expand its military and try to swallow up all of China.
And among the Chinese army, there will be more people trying to surrender to the Japanese invaders.
The number of puppet troops will greatly exceed the number of Japanese troops. It can be regarded as a spectacle in the history of war.
so……
It’s a long road!
We are still very, very, very far away from victory...
"coming!"
Suddenly I heard Han Bing's voice.
But it was she who contacted the insider comrades at Yangquan Railway Station and finally got the information.
"The big shot is coming to the train station!"
"This is Major General Miyano, Chief of Staff of the Japanese North China Front."
"Chief of Staff Saito Saburo of the Japanese First Army personally went to Yangquan Railway Station to greet him."
"Now, there are many sentries inside and outside the train station, and they are all Japanese. No Chinese can approach them."
Han Bing introduced the situation in an orderly manner.
She is indeed a very good female cadre. If she didn't have that "shadow" code name.
"Must we fight?" Ding Wei turned to look at Zhang Chu.
"We must fight!" Zhang Chu nodded.
Mandatory tasks must be completed.
No need to negotiate terms.
Otherwise, there will be no 2000 upgrades.
This is very fatal.
"Then let's start with the weak points of the Japanese invaders and find ways to attract them out."
"good!"
Zhang Chu had no objection.
The specific battle plan was decided by Ding Wei.
Others are veterans of the battlefield. He is the one who knows how to fight best. He brings his own troops.
What Zhang Chu has to do now is wait.
Wait for the mule and horse transport team to deliver the six field guns. This is a weapon for siege. It is indispensable.
The problem is, the field artillery has not been delivered yet...
"The weak point of the Japanese invaders is on the west side."
"There is an old coal mine branch line over there. It can lead directly to Shouyang. The Japanese invaders may be planning to re-use it. Therefore, it has not been demolished."
"If we launch an attack from that branch line, we can catch the Japanese invaders by surprise."
Han Bing continued to introduce.
Ding Wei briefly discussed with Zhang Chu and decided to listen to her.
The troops immediately moved to the branch line.
but……
"Pah hook!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
But it was the Japanese invaders' lurking posts that discovered traces of the Eighth Route Army.
Fire a warning shot immediately.
Ding Wei's expression changed.
Gunshots were fired.
The Japanese invaders were alarmed.
The Japanese invaders are really cunning. They have hidden sentries here.
If you don't say anything, you can only fight.
"Snapped!"
The sniper immediately struck back.
Two Japanese aggressors' lurking sentries were killed. However, the sound of gunfire alerted all the Japanese aggressors.
When the Japanese invaders around Yangquan Railway Station heard the gunshots, they immediately entered a fighting state.
"Nani?"
"Tubalu launches an attack?"
"idiot!"
"Deport them immediately!"
Guard captain Niijima Kyouichiro frowned when he received the report.
Tobali is really ignorant. He actually came at this time. It was obvious that he wanted to slap him in the face of Niijima Kyouichiro!
Knowing that the Chief of Staff of the North China Front was coming, he still dared to attack the train station.
But that's okay. It just happens to be a good performance.
Maybe Major General Miyano has a very good impression of him.
"Fight back!"
"Fight back!"
Immediately order the troops to counterattack.
A large number of Japanese invaders rushed out of the train station and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army.
Because the Wutaishan detachment was a detachment, there were not many people wearing military uniforms. The Japanese army subconsciously regarded them as guerrillas and did not pay much attention to them.
Kyouichiro Niijima ordered a squadron of Japanese invaders to launch a counterattack, while the others continued to hold on.
He felt that a single squadron attack would be enough.
They were just Tubal guerrillas. How could they withstand the attack of a Japanese squadron?
They must have dispersed in a rush!
"A squadron of devils..."
"Well done!"
Zhang Chu was very calm.
It doesn't matter.
When you are discovered, you are discovered.
Now that you are discovered, start a strong attack.
Since the field artillery hasn't been delivered yet, let's let the mortars take the lead!
Upgrade your mortar!
Upgrade ten guns at once. All are American-made 81mm mortars.
Then airdrop delivery.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two heavy and huge packages fell.
Zhang Chu opened the package. Inside were the parts of the 81mm mortar.
When all the parts are assembled together, it is an 81mm mortar. There are also a large number of artillery shells. Each one has 100 rounds.
"fire!"
"fire!"
Everyone hurriedly moved the mortars out.
A considerable number of soldiers know how to assemble mortars and how to aim.
They were all trained while fighting in Fanxian County.
After actual combat drills, they can be regarded as half artillery soldiers.
If you continue to fight and accumulate experience, you will become an excellent artilleryman.
"quick!"
"quick!"
With their help, ten mortars were quickly installed and put into use immediately.
Because the mortar's range is limited, it can only target the Japanese infantry.
By chance, a squadron of Japanese infantrymen had already approached the Eighth Route Army's forward position. So...
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The shells fell like raindrops.
A squadron of Japanese invaders was easily covered by artillery fire.
"idiot!"
"Not a guerrilla..."
The Japanese squadron leader was shocked and angry. He had been fooled. This was the main force of Tubal Road.
There are so many mortars, they are definitely the main force of Tubal Road!
If they were guerrillas, how could they have so many mortars?
It's terrible...
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
Immediately, intensive gunfire rang out.
The Eighth Route Army began to encircle the enemy from all directions. The Japanese invaders had no power to resist.
Who would have thought that Tubal Road's firepower could be so ferocious.
Not only are there mortars, but there is also a huge amount of automatic firepower. The bullets are denser than raindrops.
Soon, the last Japanese invader was killed.
Immediately, the mortars began to extend their range and prepared to bombard the train station.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Cannons were fired one after another.
Go far towards the train station.
The shell passed over the Japanese gun tower in the air, landed directly on the outside of the train station, and then exploded.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The shells continued to explode.
It's a pity that it's still a little far from the train station.
In the final analysis, the range is still insufficient.
The damn field artillery hasn't been delivered yet.
"Report!"
"Consultant Zhang, someone is looking for you!"
While I was feeling resentful, someone suddenly arrived in a hurry.
Zhang Chu was immediately overjoyed and jumped up in a hurry.
Damn it! The field artillery has finally arrived.
I hurried to the rear and saw the mule and horse transport team.
Six field guns.
There are six carts. The carts are loaded with artillery shells. There are about three hundred rounds.
Because there were too many shells, they were too heavy. The rubber wheels of the carts felt as if they were flat. The ruts on the ground were also very deep.
"The field artillery is coming!"
Zhang Chu greeted Ding Wei.
Ding Weiwei was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to pull him up.
If you want to storm Yangquan Railway Station, mortars are powerless. Field artillery must be used. Moreover, the number cannot be small.
Is six doors okay?
That's almost it. The key is to have enough shells.
Now it seems that the artillery shells are definitely enough. One cannon has 300 shells. It can beat the Japanese hard.
"Commander Zhang, where did the field artillery come from?" Han Bing asked curiously.
"It was given by someone else." Zhang Chu was vague.
Han Bing was about to speak but stopped.
I understood that Zhang Chu was unwilling to disclose it, so I stopped asking.
The soldiers quickly pulled the field artillery forward, set it up, and began to aim at the Japanese invaders' gun towers, and then fired.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two shots in a row.
A blockhouse collapsed.
"idiot!"
"There are field guns on Tubal Road!"
"idiot!"
The Japanese invaders immediately felt something was wrong.
Quickly report to the garrison captain Niijima Kyouichiro.
