My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 38 Zhao Gang's One Shot!
"Nani?!"

In Taiyuan, inside the headquarters of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka stood up suddenly.

He looked at the staff officer in front of him, his eyes widened with disbelief.

The samurai sword bestowed by the emperor, which he had never left his hand, also fell from his hand and fell to the ground, the scabbard separated from the blade.The chessboard in front of him overturned, and with the sound of ding ding bang bang, the black and white chess pieces were scattered around the scabbard and blade, and landed at the staff officer's feet.

"The military column on which General Gangcun and General Miyano were riding was attacked by guerrillas in Xiaoyao Village in the middle section from Shouyang to Yangquan and capsized. The guerrillas are currently attacking the military column..."

Before the staff officer finished speaking, Shinozuka Yoshio shouted sharply:
"Pass my order!"

"The No.16 Brigade stationed in Jinzhong, the No.20 Ninth Brigade stationed in Yangquan, and the Ninth Brigade stationed around Taiyuan immediately set off and head to Xiaoyao Village at full speed. They must arrive within an hour and a half."

"The directly subordinate cavalry unit set off immediately and went to Xiaoyao Village at full speed for support."

"Aviators take off immediately."

"The imperial army around Xiaoyao Village went to support at all costs."

"If anyone delays the fighter plane, shoot and kill!"

Although he was so shocked and angry that he wished he could go to Xiaoyao Village immediately to rescue the laid-off General and General Miyano, but Yoshio Shinozuka's calmness tempered by decades of military career still remained a little bit.He knew very well that although the brigade-level unit of the Imperial Army stationed closest to Xiaoyao Village was less than [-] kilometers away, it would take an hour and a half to arrive at the fastest.

Even if the Yamamoto special team, which is guided by quick dispatch, received an order to dispatch, it would take five to 10 minutes to gather and prepare.Not to mention other ordinary troops?A chaotic army that is not prepared to rush out is extremely easy to be ambushed and blocked by the enemy, and the actual speed will be even slower.

So does the aviation.

The security level of Taiyuan Airport is not high. It takes at least three to 10 minutes for the aircraft to refuel, mount ammunition, check before takeoff, and prepare the pilot for missions.

"Hi."

The staff officer hurriedly took the order and left.

Shinozuka Yoshio then came to the map and found the location of Xiaoyao Village. Looking at the surrounding imperial army stationed, he frowned even deeper.

The nearest squadron camp to Xiaoyao Village is also ten kilometers away.There are many fortresses and gun towers around, but there are only more than 100 imperial troops stationed in total, and the rest are imperial association troops.

"We will have to raise our combat readiness level in the future."

Shinozuka Yoshio was secretly determined.

After the implementation of the cage plan, the Zhengtai Line has been very stable and rarely encountered large-scale attacks. Especially in recent months, the enemy's armed forces have had no chance to approach the railway, so the vigilance of the troops has not been high.

After calming down, Yoshio Shinozuka was not as flustered as he was at first.

The attackers were the Eighth Route Army. This group lacked heavy firepower, lacked the ability to attack fortified areas, and had a high level of defense force. They were escorted by armored vehicles, and there was no problem in holding on for an hour and a half.

"Contact me the military column and ask about the current situation."

Shinozuka Yoshio said to the staff officer.

At this moment, he has recovered his calm attitude.

Those who can get close to the Zhengtai line will not have too many troops, at most more than 1000 people, which is the size of a regiment, and there is also a combat team of Yamamoto's special team on the military column.

The problem is not big.

Five minutes later, the communications staff rushed to report to Yoshio Shinozuka:
"General, there is no response from the military column."

"Nani?!"

Yoshio Shinozuka's heart rose again.

How come there is no response?
The military column is equipped with three radio stations, a full squadron, two armored vehicle escorts, and a Yamamoto Special Forces combat team temporarily stuffed in. The latter also carries individual radio stations. How could there be no response?
"Continue to communicate."

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Shinozuka Yoshio continued to order.

····
Inside the North China Front Army Command.

When Jun Tada heard the news, his flustered expression was not much better than that of Yoshio Shinozuka, and his reaction was even greater than that of Yoshio Shinozuka.

He is the commander of the North China Front Army.

And Gangcun is the candidate for the next commander of the North China Front Army in the base camp.

At this time, Gangcun was on the Zhengtai Line, the most important railway area under the command of the North China Front Army, with the largest number of troops and the most tightly defended railway area. His troubles were only a lot more than that of Shinozuka Yoshio.

He immediately ordered a series of surrounding troops to dispatch, including Jingjing, Luxian, and Shimen's regiments, and even ordered Shimen's armored troops to dispatch urgently to support the army.

A full division and a half of troops rushed towards the Zhengtai line in a mighty manner.

However, the troops he directly commanded were far away from Xiaogang Village, where the military column was located, and the nearest one was more than 60 kilometers away. After a series of orders, he called Yoshio Shinozuka.

At this time, he also calmed down.

When the staff officer reported to him the guard force of the Gangcun military column and the news reported to him by the guard squadron, he specifically emphasized that Lieutenant General Gangcun is currently safe and uninjured, which reassured him a lot.

"Xiaozuka-kun, what's going on? Why is there such a big loophole in the Zhengtai line?"

With the first sentence, Tada Jun planned to throw the pot away.

But Shinozuka Yoshio didn't have time to discuss who was at fault at this time, so he directly pulled Tada Jun's mood into the cold storage:

"I have ordered all surrounding troops to dispatch, and the air force is also preparing to take off, but..."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio sneered:
"At present, I have lost contact with the military column escorting Gangcun."

If Gangcun Ningci had an accident on the Zhengtai line, he would be unlucky, but he would definitely not be the most unlucky.In the final analysis, the First Army is directly under the command of the North China Front Army, the tactics implemented are from Tada Jun, and the supervision is also from Tada Jun.

"Nani!"

Tada Jun's mood fell directly into the ice cellar.

······
The perspective returns to the ambush battlefield in Xiaoyao Village.

After the first wave of ferocious firepower, Li Yunlong, who was striving for a quick battle, ordered the troops to attack with all their strength. A group of more than 200 people attacked at the first shot, but they were still beaten back by the devils.

There are not many little devils in the guards. At this time, there are still more than 150 people, including a 20-member Yamamoto Special Forces combat team.

And there are strong military columns as positions.

Later, under the cover of the second armored vehicle, the little devil launched the first wave of counterattacks, trying to eliminate the condescending heavy machine gun position, but the devil's Type 7.7 armored vehicle only had a 800mm machine gun, which was seriously insufficient in firepower, and the escort squadron was not equipped with it. For other heavy firepower, there is not even a single artillery with a range of more than one kilometer. The facing distance is [-] meters, the wings are crossed, there are bulletproof steel plates on the front, and two heavy machine guns are condescending.

Several tentative attacks were easily repelled.

In just half an hour, both sides launched a wave of full-scale attacks, but they were all repelled, and the losses were not small.

It's just that the devil is obviously more serious in terms of the situation.

Squadron leader Yamada is very clear.

The enemy's shells fell one after another around the military train.

Although General Gangcun has already hid in a triangular position surrounded by two important carriages with steel plates on the side, this position is not safe. In the overturned state, one side of the side steel plate is on the ground and the other side is facing the sky, and the top is a thin civilian iron sheet It can't stop the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets, let alone the high-speed fragments formed by the close-range explosion of the enemy's shells.

Once the enemy shells hit the position accurately, the generals are very likely to be in danger.

What's more, if the imperial army does not destroy the enemy's heavy machine guns and mortar positions, it will not be able to defend them only with their squadrons.

After leaving a part of the manpower to build a defensive position, Yamada led more than a hundred people to attack again.

After all, Yamada and the Devil Squadron under his command have experienced many battles and rich experience. After several probing attacks, they finally advanced more than 150 meters on the flank with casualties. The range of the barrel, but the accuracy is very low.

Subsequently, Yamada ordered the remaining eight grenade grenades in the squadron to fire at full speed and fire all the smoke grenades.

Dozens of smoke bombs exploded around the heavy machine gun position, and the rising smoke obscured the shooter's sight, greatly reducing the suppression effect. Yamada saw the opportunity and ordered the troops to charge at full speed.

This action forced Wang Chengzhu to divert the firepower of the two mortars to bombard the devils led by Yamada.

The sudden addition of mortar fire caused the casualties of Yamada Squadron to increase sharply again, but Yamada gritted his teeth and continued to attack despite the casualties. As long as the distance between the two sides was shortened to within the range of the grenades, he would have a chance to destroy the enemy's heavy Machine guns and mortars too.

But at this moment, the leading Type [-] armored vehicle suddenly exploded, and one side of the track was directly thrown away.

This is the mine that Li Yunlong laid in advance.

At this time, the smoke produced by the smoke bombs also dissipated with the howling cold wind.

"idiot."

Yamada's eyes were about to burst.

Without armored vehicles, with his current strength of more than 50 people, it is impossible to take down the enemy's position.

"retreat."

Yamada gritted his teeth.

"Captain, the enemy is attacking from behind."

A ghost soldier reported to Yamada.

"Nani?!"

Yamada suddenly looked back.

I saw that the Eighth Route not only launched an attack from the front, but also launched an attack from the other side of the railway, forming a two-sided attack on the temporary position built by the military train carriages in the rear.

"Quick, go support."

Regardless of the firepower of the heavy machine gun behind him, Yamada hurriedly led people back to support him.

During the hasty retreat and support, Yamada's squadron was getting fewer and fewer troops. In the end, only more than 20 people returned to the position of the military train. After a round of attack and retreat, one armored vehicle was lost and more than 80 devils were killed.

····
The third group of surprise attacks led by Zhang Dabiao was also unsuccessful.

Even though the special warfare companies are experienced fighters, they are used to covertly engaging the enemy at night. It was the first time they attacked covertly during the day. They were inexperienced and were discovered when they were 400 meters away from the devil's position.

As a last resort, Zhang Dabiao could only lead the team to attack.

Under the cover of a mortar, coupled with the serious lack of firepower of the devils, and facing two sides, he and the other two groups successfully advanced to a distance of only more than 100 meters from the devils' position.

But this distance is the best range for a submachine gun, and twenty devils from the Yamamoto Special Forces also joined the battle.

Twenty submachine guns, together with the devils who stayed behind, took advantage of the half an hour, relying on the simple defensive positions built by the military columns, and repelled the charge of more than 300 people from the special warfare company several times.

Later, Li Yunlong personally led the team and advanced the mortar position to within 500 meters of the Devils' army column. The two attacks failed to break through the Devils' defense.

It has to be admitted that although the Yamamoto Secret Service team is small in number, it has a strong combat effectiveness. The remaining 20 devils of the Yamada Squadron led by [-] people repelled the attacks of the Special Warfare Company several times with a strength of six to one.

Although the loss was heavy, the captain of the Yamada Squadron was also killed, and more than half of the team members met the emperor. Later, Okamura and Naoko Hattori had to join the battle in person, but the position was still held.

At this time, seventeen or eight planes of the devils had arrived, so it was meaningless to continue the attack, and they could only die in vain.

"Damn, if there are infantry guns, or flamethrowers, labor and management need to suffer?"

Looking at his watch, Li Yunlong was very unwilling.

Nearly an hour and a half had passed. At this time, there were scattered devil squads joining the battle. Although the logistics group and the engineer group went to stop it, judging from the sound of landmines in the distance, the devil's large force was coming soon.

He gritted his teeth fiercely:

"retreat."

The green hills left behind are not afraid of lack of firewood, and there will be opportunities in the future.

As soon as the signal bounced, all the special warfare companies left one after another along the planned retreat route.

The devils breathed a sigh of relief, Gangcun also wiped his forehead, dropped the rifle in his hand, and collapsed on the ground.

"It's now."

Suddenly, Zhao Gang, who was holding a Zaka 98K with a scope, saw the opportunity and pulled the trigger on Gangcun, who was wearing a lieutenant general uniform.

He has been staring at Gangcun for a long time. This person has been standing and hiding behind the steel plate of the carriage. He has never had a chance before.

Snapped···

Gunshots rang out, and Gangcun fell in response, but it was impossible to see where he was shot.

"Ha ha···"

"Old Zhao, I really belong to you!"

Li Datuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and called out Lao Zhao for the first time.

"Withdraw, withdraw... the army of devils is coming!"

Li Yunlong urged.

　Still at nine o'clock at night.
