"Battalion commander, the Japanese puppet army is coming, and the search teams arranged on the two flanks have also been withdrawn, and the whole army is marching around the baggage team."

"The sneak attack of the second and third companies worked." Zhao Wen shouted happily.

"The search team is like a scratch stretched out by the Japanese puppet army, and it must be much better than the body. The losses were large, and the Japanese puppet army naturally retracted the grab. ”

"It's definitely great news for us."

"Without the search team, the Flying Thunder Cannon hidden next to the road will not be discovered, and the chances of our raid will be greatly increased."

"Order the troops to be ready for battle, whether they can destroy the ammunition escorted by the baggage team depends on the next battle."

After withdrawing the search team, at the beginning, the gunfire of the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack did not weaken.

After the receiving troops concentrated light machine guns and grenadiers to fight three counterattacks, the frequency of sneak attacks became significantly smaller, and it was certainly the Eighth Route Army that suffered a lot of losses in the three counterattacks.

Nakamura Shaosa's solemn face slowly became better-looking.

One kilometer further on the plain, the terrain is very favorable to them, and the Eighth Route Army will definitely have fewer chances to sneak attack them there.

Nakamura decided to quickly pass through this mountainous area and lead his troops around the plains until dawn when the planes came.

Shen Sheng ordered: "We must speed up our march and get out of here as soon as possible." As long as we get out of this mountainous area and into the plains, the possibility of being attacked by the Eighth Route Army will be greatly reduced. ”

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A dull series of explosions suddenly sounded more than a hundred meters on his left flank.

Turning their heads, they saw eight thick powder kegs spewing orange-red flames at them.

The explosive pack, propelled by the flames, rushed out of the gasoline barrel and tumbled towards them, very slow and visible to the naked eye.

The power of the Flying Thunder Cannon Nakamura has just seen it, and it is in the mountain pass.

An explosive bag was smashed down, and soldiers within a few tens of meters of the impact point were either killed or wounded.

On the battlefield, the attacking forces were scattered, and a single explosive bag could take more than a dozen lives.

Now the troops marched in a group, all gathered together, and a bag of explosives was smashed down not to take the lives of dozens of subordinates.

Thinking of this, a solemn expression reappeared on Nakamura's face, and his face turned pale with a brush, and he cried out in a lost voice.

"Everyone dispersed immediately, and explosives packs flew towards us."

After saying that, Nakamura threw himself into a depression next to the highway and lay on the ground with his head in his hands.

Explosive packets do fly slowly, but their flight range is too short.

In less than two seconds, eight explosive packets fell from the sky, making a thunderous explosion that was deafening, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble in the explosion.

"Da Da Da ......"

Gunfire rang out at the same time, and two heavy machine guns and six light machine guns equipped with the four companies were ambushed in front of the flying thunder artillery position, and together they sprayed tongues of fire into the road.

Nakamura was lucky that not a single dynamite bag smashed around him, and he survived by luck, and there was not a single wound on his body.

Before I could rejoice, the explosion sounded again.

There was the explosion of mortar shells, and there was also the explosion of explosive packs, dense and chaotic.

Looking up at the road, there were flying fires, black smoke rising into the air, frightened mules and horses running around, ammunition boxes flying around, and the corpses of soldiers that had been blown away, stumps and broken arms, and dirt......

"Sir, the ammunition escorted by the baggage team has been detonated by the explosives bag from the flying thunder cannon!" A lieutenant next to him shouted.

"The Eighth Route Army also planted explosives next to the road, and they were also detonated." Another officer shouted.

At this time, a fool can also see the battle plan of the Eighth Route Army.

Detonate the explosives buried on the road in advance through the flying thunder cannon, and detonate the ammunition escorted by the baggage team.

As long as one box of shells is blown up, the shells inside will be smashed everywhere like scattered flowers in the sky, causing a wider explosion, and finally forming a chain reaction, so that more ammunition and explosives will be destroyed......

Nakamura's face became paler and paler, and he could no longer see the slightest blood, so he ordered decisively.

"Everyone left the road, off the ammunition that the baggage squad was carrying."

"When the ammunition is gone, we can still let our superiors use planes to airdrop it to us, if the troops are blown up, Laiyuan City will be completely finished."

It was not until 10 o'clock in the morning that the communications platoon of the garrison regiment headquarters received the good news from the Laiyuan Independent Battalion.

"Regiment leader, Zhao Wen fought better than we expected, and the results were better than we expected."

"After dawn, the Japanese puppet army successfully entered Laiyuan City under the cover of aircraft."

"According to statistics, there are more than 600 corpses left outside the city by the Japanese puppet army, plus the wounded who have lost their combat effectiveness, and the puppet army captured by the troops, our results exceed 700 people."

"After subtracting the more than 200 people who entered Laiyuan City with the baggage team and escorting troops, the Laiyuan garrison directly lost 500 people, and there are more than 1,500 people left."

"The Laiyuan Independent Battalion won a complete victory, and the only regret is that all the ammunition escorted by the baggage team was destroyed."

"This time, the little devil lost his wife and broke his soldiers, and he was busy all night, but he got nothing, and he also lost his soldiers."

Li Hao replied with a nonchalant face: "If it's gone, it's gone, tell Zhao Wen that the baggage team is escorting bullets and mortar shells, these ammunition can already be produced by our arsenal ourselves, and I will supplement him as much as he hits, and promise not to let him suffer." ”

Seeing Hong Linfeng nodding, Li Hao thought for a moment and continued to order: "One more sentence: the troops continue to blockade Laiyuan City as planned, consume their ammunition, wait for the opportunity, and take Laiyuan City in one fell swoop." ”

Hong Linfeng was just about to give an order, when political commissar Wang Hong came over with a serious face.

"The regimental commander, the chief of staff, the headquarters command.

"It's an encrypted telegram, I just translated."

It's not a big deal, it's an important matter, the superiors will definitely not send an encrypted telegram, and the faces of Li Hao and Hong Linfeng also became serious.

Wang Hong continued: "The superiors asked us to move the main force to the territory of Hunyuan within three days, launch an attack on Hunyuan County, take it within two days, and then attack in the direction of Datong and advance fifty kilometers to establish a defensive line. ”

"Did the headquarters say why?" Hong Linfeng asked.

Although the importance of Hunyuan County is not as important as that of Laiyuan and Guangling, because of its proximity to Datong, it is the only way for the garrison to attack Datong, and the Japanese puppet army still stationed more than 1,000 people in it.

During the period when the Japanese puppet army gathered heavy troops to sweep the garrison base area, they were not idle.

Use the steel and cement sent by Datong to build a blockade area and overhaul fortifications.

Although the blockade area has now existed in name only, and several large and small strongholds in the territory have also been abandoned, Hunyuan County is like a nail, standing still.

The Hunyuan Independent Battalion tried to recapture Hunyuan, but they all lost their troops and returned in vain, and finally had to improve the attack to block, just like several other independent battalions. Weaken the garrison by depleting their ammunition and create an opportunity to counterattack Hunyuan.

Therefore, the strong attack on Hunyuan will definitely be a big battle for the garrison regiment.

Wang Hong shook his head and replied: "I didn't say the reason, I just said that we must carry out the order, we must take Hunyuan within the specified time, and then attack in the direction of Datong and advance fifty kilometers to establish a defensive line." ”
