The railway garrison was indeed the most elite force of the Japanese army.
Their counterattack was swift and fierce, and even caught Li Yun Long off guard.
Using the train as cover, they quickly set up machine guns and grenade launchers.
This was an ordinary escort mission, so the garrison team did not bring heavy weapons such as infantry cannons and mortars.
However, it was this elusive grenade launcher that caused a lot of casualties to the independent regiment.
Several grenades flew into the Anti-Tank Company's position and exploded.
Immediately, two Type 65 recoilless cannons were flipped over, and several soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The Japanese had braved the fierce artillery fire of the Independent Regiment to counterattack. Of course, they had paid a heavy price.
"Hit me with the heavy machine gun, hit me!”
Li Yun Long bent his waist and came to the front of a Type 54 heavy machine gun. He pushed the shooter away and shouted.
"Dong dong dong."
Heavy machine gun gunshots echoed throughout the camp.
Several 12.7mm caliber heavy machine guns formed a crossfire and shot at the Japanese hiding behind cover.
"Pu pu pu"
The bullets pierced through the cover, and the Japanese hiding inside were smashed into pieces.
"Baka, a large caliber machine gun."
Hattori Zhizo saw that the machine gun position hidden behind the bunker in the distance had been turned into a slaughterhouse.
Immediately, his pupils could not help but shrink.
What kind of army was this? Not only did they have anti-tank artillery, but they also had a large number of machine guns and even heavy machine guns.
Judging from the firepower density, it was no less than the European battlefield.
Although there were not many Type 54 heavy machine guns, their firepower was far superior to the PKM.
Wherever the area was covered, the ghosts would cry for their parents.
At the same time, the soldiers had trained hard during this period of time, and their marksmanship had improved by more than one level.
The suppression effect of the SKS semi-automatic rifle was also very obvious.
The Japanese's 38th Cover could fire one shot, while the SKS semi-automatic rifle could fire two or three shots.
Even if the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were not as good as the Japanese, their firing speed was enough to make up for it.
Especially now that the Japanese were being attacked from both sides, and the surrounding terrain was relatively flat.
They did not have any cover to defend themselves.
In less than ten minutes, including the Japanese who were bombed earlier, nearly half of their troops were lost.
Yangquan County!
Troop trucks drove out from the county town. From the Japanese's expressions, one could tell that they were very anxious.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry to the next station as fast as possible.”
The train was ambushed near the lower station.
Daisuke Koizumi was in a terrible mood.
Under his rule, such bad public security incidents happened one after another.
Compared to the previous two times, this time was even worse.
This time, it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army, with at least five to six thousand people.
Even the railway garrison had been beaten to the point of asking for help. It could be seen how bad the situation was now.
Therefore, this time, apart from a brigade that stayed behind, Daisuke Koizumi led two brigades of over 2,000 people to provide support.
If this troop was robbed by the Eighth Route Army, Shinozuka Yoshio would skin him alive.
The severity of the incident was beyond Li Yunlong and Li Xiangrong's imagination.
Hattori Naoki's distress message was not only sent to the 22nd Regiment in Yangquan, but also to Taiyuan.
Shinozuka Yoshio was shocked and furious when he received the distress call.
He didn't expect his premonition to come true. Someone actually dared to attack the army.
This was the treasure he had collected for half a year.
If he was kidnapped, it would be enough to make him vomit blood.
These could be exchanged for military expenses at the base camp.
Therefore, all the devils in Jinzhong started to move.
Other than the destroyed Sakata Regiment, almost all the members of the 4th Brigade were dispatched, including the cavalry regiment from Shouyang County.
The 27th Brigade of the 14th Division, which was stationed near Taiyuan, also took the train and rushed to Yangquan.
At the same time, more than 10 fighter planes took off from Taiyuan Airport.
However, these fighter jets were destined to be useless. By the time they arrived, the sky was already dark.
This time, Li Yunlong had directly poked a hornet's nest, and it was a hornet's nest.
The Jinsui Army, the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army also began to move.
Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew that the Japanese had made a large-scale move.
Moreover, they were all heading in the same direction. They definitely had to help. They could not let the Japanese go so smoothly.
The 8th Route Army's general manager was also alarmed.
"The place where the accident happened was Yangquan? Could it be Li Yunlong's doing again?”
"Chaos, it's all chaos."
"Get all the bases to move and block the Japanese reinforcements layer by layer. We can't let them rush to Yangquan.”
The cavalry regiment of the 4th Brigade had also encountered a formidable opponent.
Chu Yunfei of the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army also participated in this battle.
After all, the Japanese cavalry wanted to swagger past his station, and he definitely wouldn't agree.
The 22nd Regiment that came to the rescue also bumped into Ding Wei's new regiment, and the battle immediately erupted.
Li Yun Long, who was at the center of the storm, was unaware of everything that was happening outside. He was currently having a good time fighting.
