"Baga!"

Yoshio Shinozuka cursed: "It's now, what's the point of arguing about these?"

"Mr. Commander, I don't mean that." Takashi Sakamoto quickly explained, "I mean that even if the Eighth Route Army really hijacked the armored train of the 11th armored train, even if they really drove the armored train to Yangquan, the armored train would not be completely damaged."

Yoshino Shinozuka felt aroused and thoughtfully said: "What do you mean..."

Takaichi Sakamoto said: "What the Eighth Route Army has obtained should not be a complete armored train. I don't believe that after the 11th armored train was attacked, it was too late to bomb the cannon."

Yoshio Shinozuka was also confused about this.

At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio turned his attention to Yamamoto Ichiki.

"Yamamoto, from the perspective of the special attack team, what do you think?"

Yamamoto Ichiki paused his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "It is still possible in theory."

"It is possible in theory?" Sakamoto said with a frown, "Yamamoto, please tell me how to seize an armored train full of armour and equipped with nearly a hundred combatants?"

Yamamoto Kazuki said in a deep voice: "Sent a team of elite troops to sneak into the armored train, and then the commander of the 11th Armored Train Convoy issued another wrong order to strictly order all combatants to stick to their positions. If they may be defeated by this elite troops, they will successively seize the carriages until the entire train is controlled."

Takaichi Sakamoto questioned: "The question is, how to sneak in?"

"This is not difficult," Yamamoto said sneered. "At least any member of our Yamamoto Special Attack Team can do it easily. We can sneak into the coal water compartment while the armored train enters the station to replenish coal water, and then wait for the armored train to leave the station to open the door and pick up more team members on the train."

Takaichi Sakamoto was speechless. Is there really such a possibility?

"However, Commander, don't worry too much." Yamamoto Kazuki said to Shinozuka Yoshio again, "The air force will soon arrive at Yangquan and destroy the armored train."

"It's still no problem for the 4th Brigade to continue to arrive at Yamazaki Brigade."

"After all, the Eighth Route Army had no precedent for attacking solid fortresses before. Without this experience, it is inevitable that one or another will be exposed in actual combat, so the attack will not go smoothly."

While speaking, the loud roar of the plane sounded outside the window.

I looked back quickly and saw two Type 96 land attack aircraft soaring into the sky.

The 4 100Kg aviation bombs hanging under the belly of the aircraft are also clearly visible.

"I hope." Shinozuka Yoshio said indifferently, "I hope everything is in time."

"It must be too late." Tanaka Takayoshi seemed to be cheering himself and comforting Yoshio Shinozuka, "It's only more than 30 kilometers from Shouyang to Yangquan. Yamazaki's brigade can reach the battlefield in three hours after marching urgently."

Takaichi Sakamoto echoed: "There is no problem for the 4th Brigade to last for three hours."

Yoshio Shinozuka was silent when he heard this and did not argue with Takayoshi Tanaka and Takaichi Sakamoto.

But Yoshio Shinozuka knew very well in his heart that since the Eighth Route Army had carefully organized such a combat operation intended to destroy the 4th Brigade, it was impossible for it to have no corresponding arrangements.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be a blockade on the way.

Three hours? Yamazaki Brigade could burn the incense when he arrived at Yangquan before evening.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka did not say this because his morale could only be boosted and not vented. As the commander of the 1st Army, he could not undermine the morale of his subordinates.

...

Yoshio Shinozuka's estimate is completely accurate.

The Eighth Route Army did make arrangements for Yamazaki Brigade.

However, it should be noted that in the plan of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, there was no such big drama as the four main groups of the 386th Brigade jointly attacking Yangquan County.

In accordance with the unified deployment of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the 129th Division prepared 8 regiments.

Two of them were used to block the 8th Brigade of Jingjing, two were used to block the Yamazaki Brigade of Shouyang, and the remaining four were used to block the 9th Brigade of Taiyuan.

Therefore, the two infantry brigades of Yamazaki and the 9th Brigade were immediately blocked as soon as they left the city.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's blocking method was speechless. The Eighth Route Army did not fight head-on with the Japanese army at all, but arranged the troops along the railway and highway in units of platoons. Moreover, each company and platoon had two fronts and back fronts. Only individual soldiers were deployed on the first front, while the second front would deploy light and heavy machine guns.

I have to say that this tactic of the Eighth Route Army is very annoying.

At the beginning, both Yamazaki Battalion and the two infantry brigades of the 9th Brigade only wanted to disperse the Eighth Route Army, which was blocking, to reinforce Yangquan as soon as possible, so they only sent a small group of troops to attack from both wings, and the main force of the brigade continued to advance at full speed along the highway and railway towards Yangquan.

But not long after, the small force responsible for protecting the two wings was severely damaged.

At this time, the two brigades of Yamazaki Brigade and the 9th Brigade began to pay attention, so they launched their troops and firepower to first defeat the Eighth Route Army, and then advance.

However, when the Japanese army entered the main force to launch an attack, they found that the Eighth Route Army was "defeated at one touch".

So the Japanese commander decisively ordered a pursuit and was ready to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army that was attacking.

Then, the Japanese army suffered a great loss on the second front of the Eighth Route Army. Faced with the crossfire network built by the Eighth Route Army with light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese infantry that were put into the attack were seriously injured.

So the Japanese army quickly transferred heavy machine guns, mortars and infantry artillery.

However, when the Japanese army carried dozens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms of heavy machine guns, mortars and infantry artillery to the hills on both sides, they found that the Eighth Route Army had slipped away again, and they were gone!

But there are mountains of all sizes on both sides of Zhengtai Road.

Even if the Japanese army quickly set up crane machine guns, mortars and infantry artillery, it would be useless, because the Eighth Route Army had already hid on the back of the mountain. Although the Japanese army had strong firepower, they could not penetrate the mountain.

So, Yamazaki Orihei and the brigade commander of the 9th Brigade were so depressed.

You ignore it, the Eighth Route Army is like a fly, always buzzing in front of your eyes. It hurts when you are not careful, but when you are trying to fight him, you don’t know where to fly. This feeling is like a heavy punch hitting the cotton, which can really cause internal injuries.

In the end, there was no way, so I could only sharpen it little by little according to the rhythm of the Eighth Route Army.

How to clean up the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions, seize the hills along the line bit by bit, establish a warning position, and wait until the main force of the brigade has passed, then take back the warning troops and move forward alternately.

According to this method of playing, don’t expect speed or something. If you can reach Yangquan before dark, you will burn high incense.

The Eighth Route Army has no experience in fighting the tough battle, but the experience in fighting the sparrow war and blocking war is not too rich. Almost all of them are masters.

...

Can the 4th Brigade last until dark? It can't hold on for two hours!

Because the armored train has already opened from the railway entrance in the northeast corner into Yangquan County!

Yamamoto Kazuki's analysis is basically correct. The Eighth Route Army did not have any precedent for attacking the strong fortress, and lacked the experience to learn from in this regard.

Including Li Yunlong, he has no experience in this area.

But Wang Ye has no shortage of experience in this area.

Before traveling through time, there were too many classic battle examples for Wang Ye to learn or even review.

Not to mention anything else, the Linfen battle and Jinan battle have definitely been discussed.

Compared with the Linfen attack, the battle cannot be called a battle, it can only be called a torture!

Therefore, the tactics Wang Ye formulated for the four regiments were very clear, and it was also very simple. He was to directly attack the command center and break into the city and destroy the 4th Brigade headquarters in the shortest time!

As long as the 4th Brigade headquarters is destroyed,

The Japanese in Yangquan City immediately became headless flies.

The simpler the more direct the tactics are, the more effective they are.

Out of unconditional trust in Li Yunlong and Wang Ye, Zhang Dabiao led the 1st Battalion and Shen Quan led the 2nd Battalion, and rushed forward like two straight cows.

The other three regiments launched a fierce attack at the same time.

The offensive of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment was particularly fierce.

Because the 1st Battalion has the guidance of armored trains.

With the cooperation of the 1st Battalion, the armored train pushed forward all the way. Whether it was a circular barricade built with sandbags or a heavy machine gun nest welded with steel plates, the armored train would directly bombard it into slag as soon as a shell came, and the Japanese guarding the barricade or machine gun nest were also bombarded into slag.

The Japanese have tried to blast.

Organized no less than ten waves of suicide squads,

Locomotive holding an explosive bag trying to blow up the armored train.

But it's useless. The Japanese suicide squad can't even pass the 1st battalion.

With the cooperation of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion, the armored train quickly advanced near Yangquan Railway Station.

The headquarters of the 4th Brigade was opposite the train station. The gun truck A and the gun truck B used only two shells to explode the two heavy machine gun nests at the gate of the 4th Brigade headquarters.

Then there were two more guns, and the building where the 4th Brigade headquarters was located immediately collapsed halfway.

Half of the building collapsed, and half of the Japanese in the 4th Brigade's headquarters were buried alive.

"Run!" Zhang Dabiao took off the ghost-headed knife from behind with his back, rushed into the smoke and dust with his head in his head.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the 1st Battalion also jumped up and rushed into the smoke and dust with bayonets.

"Fuck! Lao Zhang, don't slaughter it with one knife when you catch Maeda!" Wang Ye subconsciously jumped out of the car.

At this moment, Wang Ye only hopes that the old Japanese devil, Hide Maeda, will have a stronger life and will not be killed by the bomb. He also pointed to capturing the old Japanese devil alive and then executing him, and then burst out a golden treasure chest.

According to convention, if the assistant official bursts the silver treasure chest, then the general official is the golden treasure chest.

With the rank of Major General Maeda Hide, it is said that a golden treasure chest can be blown up.

Wang Ye is now anxious to know if the golden treasure chest can also be synthesized?

If it can be synthesized, what kind of treasure chest will be after synthesis? Platinum treasure chest?

Seeing Wang Ye jumping out of the car, Wei Dayong quickly jumped out of the car and shouted anxiously: "Northwest Wolf, wait for me!"
