Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#198 - The decisive moment

Xiyingzi.

This is an ordinary village at the foot of Jiufeng Mountain.

Before the arrival of the Japanese devils, almost all the local farmers and herdsmen had been mobilized to the rear.

Therefore, the Japanese devils' logistics regiment unceremoniously entered the tents of the local farmers and herdsmen, saving themselves the trouble of setting up tents.

One car after another was parked on the roadside and in the open spaces of the village. Behind the cars were continuous horse-drawn carts. The Japanese devils were severely short of fuel, and now they had to give priority to supplying the huge combined fleet and large-scale air combat teams on the Pacific battlefield.

The share given to the army can be described as pitifully small. A logistics regiment was only equipped with 7 cars, 80 trucks, and 2 repair vehicles. There were quite a few horses, a full 600, anyway, on the vast grassland, the least lacking thing was horses.

Around Xiyingzi, more than 1,100 people from the Japanese devils' logistics regiment lived in the tents of the farmers and herdsmen in the village.

In a small forest outside the village, after risking crawling nearly 500 meters, Batu, a soldier from the reconnaissance company of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, stopped and carefully observed the Japanese devils' convoy outside the village with the binoculars on his back, and found that there were indeed no traces of artillery.

"Eagle 1 calling, area 347 confirmed as a logistics team vehicle, distribution area 347 to 350, 343, 345. Report complete." Batu observed for a while, then whispered into the walkie-talkie, reducing the volume to the lowest limit.

"Eagle's Nest received, Eagle 1, distribution area 347 to 350, 343, 345. Over." After the other party quickly repeated, Batu heard that it was correct and turned off the walkie-talkie. Then he slowly crawled back to his lurking position.

As a front-line scout, he had completed his reconnaissance mission. Next, he only needed to hide in the previously dug cellar and wait to observe the strike effect.

Besides that, he didn't need to do anything extra.

"Report to headquarters, area 347, area 598 have been confirmed as Japanese devils' logistics teams, area 186, area 821, confirmed as Japanese devils' artillery regiment, area 651, the number of radio stations is obvious, suspected to be the enemy's headquarters, please instruct." The front-line information was quickly transmitted back to the front-line headquarters.

With the information network composed of walkie-talkies and radio telephones, the front-line headquarters could grasp the front-line information in real time.

"Order, abandon the first round of strikes on area 347, area 598 plan, the 1st Cavalry Regiment, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment artillery aim at area 186, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the 4th Cavalry Regiment aim at area 821, to achieve double coverage strikes, the 5th Cavalry Regiment aim at area 651, and strive to destroy it in the first round of strikes, do not give the Japanese devils' artillery regiment a chance to escape." The commander of the Saibei Military Region, who had made up his mind, immediately changed the order.

There was no target more valuable than the artillery regiment. He would rather waste firepower than destroy the Japanese devils' artillery, the most threatening enemy.

"Order the 1st and 2nd battalions of each cavalry regiment to move out, enter the Japanese devils' artillery regiment area after the firepower coverage, and strive to annihilate the Japanese devils of these two regiments, and eliminate the roots! Action in 10 minutes!"

With the cavalry, the distance of several kilometers was almost instantaneous.

Area 186 was the garrison of the 21st Division Artillery Regiment of the Japanese devils.

When Colonel Saito, the commander of the 21st Division Artillery Regiment of the Japanese devils, was still outside inspecting the deployment of the troops, he suddenly saw things like fireballs streaking across the sky towards him.

"It's heavy artillery! Alert! Full alert!" Colonel Saito paled in an instant and howled loudly.

However, at this time, the Japanese devils were already powerless to recover.

A full 382 rockets fell like meteors into the garrison of the 21st Division Artillery Regiment, lasting for more than 5 minutes, firing back and forth twice over the artillery regiment's garrison area!

Saito also vanished in this wave of blanket strikes.

When the main force of the cavalry regiment rushed over, they saw a scene of devastation, with huge pits everywhere. The remaining two or three hundred Japanese devils, either wounded or foolish, were unhesitatingly sent a knife by the cavalry regiment. When they encountered artillery that had not been destroyed, they directly stuffed two grenades into the muzzle. In the places where the shells exploded on the spot, the Japanese devils died even more tragically, and almost no traces the size of a fist could be found.

In less than half an hour, the cavalry regiment cleaned up the position, almost killing all the remaining Japanese devil artillery, and destroying most of the few artillery pieces with grenades.

Then, when the Japanese devil infantry regiment desperately rushed over, they drifted away under their noses.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of artillery fire was called to carry out a small-scale shelling of the Japanese devil infantry chasing behind them. Sure enough, the Japanese devils lay down very obediently one by one.

Overnight, two Japanese devil artillery regiments were almost completely wiped out, and the headquarters of the 21st Division was also wiped out in one fell swoop. The Japanese devil division commander Tanaka Hisaichi was also sent back to the shrine on the spot.

Then, a logistics regiment was almost completely wiped out, and military supplies were completely lost.

He didn't believe that with the two divisions and one brigade at hand, such a powerful force could be invincible on the North China battlefield, let alone the local Eighth Route Army that had just risen on the grassland. He didn't believe that he would lose in a frontal battle.

After all, in addition to the powerful tank regiment at hand, he also had the trump card of more than 10 warplanes that he had not yet played.

As long as these powerful troops were sent to Jiuyuan, Shichida Ichiro was prepared to give the local Eighth Route Army a full counterattack.

At this time, he most hoped that these local Eighth Route Army would not shrink back to the south bank of the Yellow River or the mountains north of Jiuyuan.

Jiuyuan Frontline Command.

"The enemy is coming very fast this time. The main force has boarded the train and is advancing under the protection of the tank regiment. It is expected to reach our first line of defense in 3 hours." Staff Officer Liu's eyes were bloodshot, obviously he had not slept all night.

In fact, everyone in the command was like this, at most dozing off on the table for ten or twenty minutes, and the rest of the time was spent summarizing the results of the battle and commanding the troops to counterattack.

The results of the battle were very brilliant. The Japanese devils' artillery regiments were all destroyed, leaving only a pile of scum and artillery slag for the Japanese devils.

Of course, the consumption of rockets was also very huge, and the rockets of the three rounds of salvo taken out were exhausted.

In order to avoid the cavalry regiment facing the main force of the Japanese devil infantry, the front-line command ordered the main force of the cavalry regiment, except for leaving the reconnaissance company to continue monitoring the movement of the Japanese devils, to return to Jiuyuan for rest.

Next, they will still be the main force of the decisive battle.
