I am helping

After everyone left, only Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were left in the regiment headquarters.

"Old Li, why don't you ask your superiors?" Zhao Gang asked.

"There's no need to ask for instructions. We have an indicator of autonomous action in our hands, but we still need to call to say hello."

Li Yunlong said: "When we leave the day after tomorrow, I will call the brigade commander and say that the Xinyi regiment is going to Niangziguan to do a side job."

"Okay!" Zhao Gang nodded and said.

three days later.

in the afternoon.

A tin train chugged into Jingxing Railway Station.

On the top of the train, there is a machine gun position built with sandbags, on which are mounted a Type [-] heavy machine gun and a crooked light machine gun.

After the train entered the train station, it stopped slowly, and the door of the carriage was pulled open, revealing the densely packed devils inside.

The devils took advantage of this time to jump off the train and move around, some smoked, some went to the toilet.

After half an hour, the devils finished their rest, and the train was refueled with enough coal and water before it started again, leaving the train station and headed towards Shanxi.

In an inconspicuous small bumpkin, Li Changshun led a team member of Sharp Sword to take a panoramic view of all this.

Immediately, Li Changshun took out the radio and called: "Dong Yao, Dong Yao, I am Dong Er!"

After calling three times in a row, Li Yunlong's voice came out from the receiver: "I am Dongyao."

Li Chang said by the way: "The snake has been dispatched, the snake has been dispatched."

"Received!" Li Yunlong said, "Dong Er, I order you to evacuate immediately!"

"Yes!" Li Changshun put down the receiver and turned off the radio, and whispered to the team members next to him, "Withdraw!"

Not long after, the figures of the two quickly disappeared into the dirt bag.

At this time, in the command compartment of the train.

Isamu Yamamoto, the captain of the 62nd Wing, is drinking coffee leisurely.

Fumio Katayama, the staff officer sitting opposite, was drinking tea.

Isamu Yamamoto had the experience of studying abroad in the West when he was young, so he liked to drink coffee, put hairspray on his head, and combed his back hair meticulously.

Fumio Katayama couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency, Captain, I heard that our 21st Division is going to Shanxi to attack the Eighth Route?"

"That's right!" Yamamoto put down his cup and said, "This time in Shanxi, it is to attack the Eight Routes."

The Japanese army's plan to attack Zhongtiao Mountain is currently only qualified to know at the level of division commander or above.

Even the propaganda department of the Japanese army is propagating that the Japanese army is about to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army.

Except for officers above the division commander, the devils all believed that it was necessary to use a large number of troops against the Eighth Route Army.

After a pause, Isamu Yamamoto said again: "My elder brother Kazuki Yamamoto is a popular person next to Commander Shinozuka of the First Army. He called me and told me that the last time the First Army dispatched four divisions to sweep The Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi, the Imperial Army was defeated, the 4nd Guards Division and the 2th Division were severely damaged, and more than 37 Imperial Army warriors were crushed. My elder brother reminded me that the Eighth Route Army is very cunning, so be careful in combat .”

Fumio Katayama couldn't help gasping when he heard the words, his eyes widened: "The loss is so big, no wonder the higher-ups are dispatching troops to attack the Eighth Route Army."

Although the propaganda department of the Japanese army publicized that the Japanese army had only a few thousand casualties.

But some well-informed Japanese military officers already knew the real situation, and they often talked about it in private.

...

Isamu Yamamoto snorted coldly, leaned back on the chair, and said in an unruly tone, "If you want me to say, Commander Shinozuka and Commander Tada make a big fuss, our 62nd Regiment can penetrate any base of the Eighth Route Army."

Fumio Katayama was taken aback by Isamu Yamamoto's words, and looked around: "Your Excellency, Captain, don't dare to say such nonsense."

"What can't you say?" Yamamoto Isamu snorted coldly, "Katayama-kun, here are just the two of us, we can speak freely."

Katayama Fumio said: "Your Excellency, Captain, even the 2nd Guards Division and the 37th Division have been severely damaged. Can we do it alone?"

At this time, Fumio Katayama knew why his elder brother Kazuki Yamamoto wanted to call Isamu Yamamoto.

Isamu Yamamoto has always been arrogant, and Fumio Katayama said this to remind him not to underestimate the enemy.

Yamamoto Yu said: "The 2nd Konoe Division seems to be His Majesty's guard, but in fact it has never been on the battlefield in the country, and the soldiers have no combat experience."

"Such soldiers, no matter how many they have and how well equipped they are, are nothing more than a flock of sheep."

"Although the 37th Division is the elite of the First Army, but in the past few years in southern Shanxi, hanging out with the Imperial Association Army, the soldiers have long been corrupted, and their combat effectiveness has declined seriously."

"From this point of view, it is not surprising that the 37th Division and the 2nd Guards Division were hit hard."

"That being said." Fumio Katayama said, "Your Excellency, Captain, we should not underestimate the enemy. The fact that the Eight Route Army can severely damage two divisions of the Imperial Army shows that it is still very strong."

"Katayama-kun, I don't need you to remind me." Yamamoto Yu said coldly, "I don't need you to teach me how to fight."

"Captain, I didn't mean that..."

Fumio Katayama quickly explained.

……

at the same time.

It is 5 kilometers away from the Longwangtu section of Zhengtai Railway.

Li Yunlong led the new group is rapidly approaching the railway.

The soldiers of the Sword Squadron sent by Lu Yingjun had reconnaissance the pattern of the devil patrolling troops in advance.

Occasionally there are ghost planes in the sky doing reconnaissance along the railway.

In order not to be discovered by the devil's plane, he could only take the time to enter the ambush position.

Since the Hundred Regiments Battle, the Zhengtai Railway and its strongholds and artillery towers on both sides of the railway were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

Although the devils repaired the Zhengtai Railway again, most of the gun towers and strongholds have not been repaired.

It took about half an hour for Li Yunlong to lead the soldiers to the ambush site.

It is 6 kilometers away from Niangziguan and about 26 kilometers away from Jingxing County.

Moreover, the railway track here is a long uphill section, and the speed of the Japanese army will be relatively slow here, and the terrain is very tricky, which is very suitable for ambushes.

This position was chosen by the brigade commander himself.

The fourth battalion and the county brigade responsible for fighting and blocking have already gone to the designated location.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang found a higher terrain as the headquarters.

As soon as a small squad of devil patrols passed by, the second battalion jumped up from the slope of the ambush position and moved towards the opposite position.

Soldiers of the engineering company also took advantage of this opportunity to bury explosives on the railway and make camouflage.

The explosives are still detonated with a detonator modified from a telephone.

In the command post on the commanding heights, the guards set up the artillery mirrors.

Beside him, Zhao Gang had already set up his large-caliber sniper rifle, ready to hunt down the devil officer at any time.

Li Yunlong glanced enviously, then moved his eyes to the periscope, and looked down through the field of view of the artillery mirror.

The first battalion, the second battalion and the heavy machine gun battalion have ambushed on both sides, and the soldiers of the engineering company are busy burying explosives alive.

Since the scouts on both sides carry walkie-talkies, if a devil patrol comes over, they will use the walkie-talkies to notify the engineer company to retreat as soon as possible.

After burying the explosives, the engineering company immediately retreated to the rear of the position.

Li Yunlong raised his hand and looked at his watch, everything was ready, just waiting for the devil train to enter the ambush ring!
