Chapter 51 The Battle Begins

Lin Qiang is not aware that the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army have sent reinforcements, plus Yang Zhihua's artillery team, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, and 200 Iron-blooded Power Army soldiers, there are now more than 600 people.

Don’t be afraid of having few people, but your equipment is awesome.

The 200 Iron-blooded Power Army now have 20 heavy machine guns, 60 light machine guns, and 40 mortars, with firepower that is not ordinary. A heavy machine gun must be equipped with three people, one machine gunner, one ammunition supplier, and one ammunition operator. The light machine gun is two people, one fires and one presses bullets into the magazine. If the machine gunner dies, the loader can immediately push it up. A mortar must be equipped with a gunner, one fills the bullets, and one carrys the ammunition.

There was not enough manpower, so Lin Qiang even used weapons to exchange 100 people from Zhang Dabiao, and he didn't have to return it after the war, so he followed Lin Qiang from then on.

Zhang Dabiao didn't feel any loss at all in this deal. He had ten ting92 heavy machine guns, 20 ting crooked light machine guns, 10 mortars, 500 38 large covers, and 100 people were replaced. It was worth it. Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong often won battles, and his weapons and equipment were replaced every time, but he knew that he had to make great sacrifices every time.

Take his battalion for example. After a battle, half of the people may be gone.

There is no way, the Eighth Route Army's weapons are too bad. Each bullet soldier has only five rounds, and many guns have been rifled smoothly and cannot be accurately fired. In order to save bullets and be able to shoot accurately, they have to wait for the Japanese to walk within 50 meters before firing. At this distance, there are too many casualties. The Japanese's gunshot technique is fed with bullets, which is more accurate than many Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Now that this batch of weapons is available, the casualties will be much smaller, and there will be fewer deaths, and everything is worth it!

Xinkou is on the edge of Taihang Mountain, with many tall and short hills. Yang Zhihua set the artillery position on a hidden hill, and it is high and can completely cover the main roads in the direction of Taiyuan, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it is exposed, it is difficult for the Japanese to attack.

There is an airport in Taiyuan. In order to prevent Japanese aircraft bombing, Lin Qiang's pickup truck was covered with grass and disguised on a mountain. The Type 85 heavy machine gun can not only hit people and tanks, but also make great use of planes.

Waiting around, the sky gradually became dark, and there was no movement on the road. It should have been here long ago, why hasn't it arrived yet? Did it shrink back? Lin Qiang put down his telescope. It was dark and the telescope could not see clearly.

"Commander, the Japanese encountered a sneak attack from the guerrillas on the road. The captain of the guerrillas asked me to tell you that the guard team was coming, with five thousand people and very well equipped. The guerrillas were poorly equipped, so they could only harass them from a distance and could not delay them for too long." The scout came over to report the latest situation.

Lin Qiang slapped Datui, the guerrillas did something bad, and they didn't need to harass and intercept them at all. What should he say?

"Go and notify them to retreat quickly, there is no need to intercept them!"

Rumble!

The engine roar came from afar, and a light finally appeared on the road, which was the Japanese side tricycle light.

"Prepare for the battle!" Lin Qiang said in a deep voice.

The battle orders quickly reached every warrior, and the sound of pulling the bolts was silenced.

Changdao Kuan sat in the three-wheeled and fighting with a commanding knife, his face was irritable. He was anxious to eliminate the bandits in Xinkou. He encountered guerrillas on the way, which wasted time. What if the bandits in Xinkou ran away?

Yoshio Shinozuka told him to pay attention to the enemy this time, but Hiroshi Nagashima did not believe that the bandits could destroy the Ita Army and the Yamazaki Army. It must have been done by the Eighth Route Army, and then claimed to the outside world that it was done by the bandits. The Eighth Route Army has always been so cunning, such as guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare, and never had the courage to fight against the Imperial Army on the front battlefield.

After the Hundred Regiments War, the strength exposed by the Eighth Route Army surprised the Japanese army and began to pay attention to this anti-Japanese force, but the Eighth Route Army could not find a decisive battle. Kuang Nagashima hated this unconventional combat method very much. In his opinion, the army should decide the victory and defeat on the battlefield with dignity, and after the battle, he ran to the rural mountains and people who could not find any soldier?

Having guerrillas harassed on the way, Kuang Nagashima was more convinced of his judgment that the enemy who attacked Xinkou must be the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, why would the guerrillas harass him halfway?

The Eighth Route Army has strict discipline and will not be associated with the bandits at all.

If he could destroy this Eighth Route Army and take back Xinkou, General Shizuka would definitely ask for his contribution. When he thought of this, Kuan Nagashima felt excited, as if his military achievements were immediately at his fingertips.

"Col. You're about to arrive at Xinkou. Should you slow down the speed to prevent the enemy from attacking?"

"No need. The Eighth Route Army will only run away when they see us like mice. Haha, they never dare to fight head-on with the Imperial Army." Kuang Nagashima didn't care. This time it was his first time on the battlefield. He must show his mightyness and was timid. This time he brought five thousand people, and he could kill them with people. He still had to worry about sneak attacks?

Didn't you see the darkness of Xinkou City? Maybe the enemy has already escaped after seeing the wind.

"Commander Lin, the Japanese have entered the range." Zhang Dabiao reminded. According to the way the Eighth Route Army fought, Lin Qiang should now order the fire to open.

Lin Qiang shook his head, "It's not enough, I'll fight when everything comes in."

Zhang Dabiao was shocked. Is he trying to eliminate them all?

How is that possible?!

Although it is a guard team, there are still 5,000 people. The troops are nearly ten times different. They actually want to wipe out the opponent?

Zhang Dabiao is the number one general under Li Yunlong. He has fought many tough battles with Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong has never done this before, okay?

If the commander was Li Yunlong, he would definitely persuade him, but now the commander was Lin Qiang, he would not be able to say anything, after all, he had to deal with him for the first time.

He sighed in his heart, and he made up his mind that if the war was not good later, he would cover Lin Qiang's retreat, which could be considered as completing the task assigned by Li Yunlong. At this moment, he had a much worse impression of Lin Qiang. After all, he was born as a bandit and didn't know the cruelty of the battlefield.

Chi! Bang!

A monkey suddenly flew into the air and exploded.

This is a signal from the warriors lying in front of them, and all the enemies have entered the ambush circle.

"Fight!" Lin Qiang fired a gun at the sky.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Yang Zhihua fired, and the artillery fire instantly illuminated the night sky.

The shells landed behind the guards, blowing out a row of deep craters on the main road, cutting off the rear road.

All!

Mortars followed and shells bloomed everywhere in the team.
Chapter completed!
