Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

This snowy field became the burial place of the 71st Regiment.

Not a single tank was destroyed, and the 71st Regiment was completely annihilated by the pincer attack.

The battle lasted for about an hour.

More than 71 Japanese soldiers from the st Regiment were annihilated by the Independent Regiment and the New st Regiment. This result was very brilliant.

This also means that the Japanese army will have no reinforcements in either Datong Coal Mine or Zuoyun County in the short term.

The fastest reinforcements could only come from the air.

However, the independent regiment's anti-aircraft artillery battalion and surface-to-air missile company were already waiting for them.

The Independent Regiment has become a forbidden area for Japanese Army Air Force fighter planes. It depends on whether they dare to come again.

Anyway, they have shot down hundreds of Japanese planes, so they don’t mind a few more.

Less than half an hour after the ambush on Hill 474 began.

Kong Jie then formally issued the order for a general attack to the New Second Regiment.

However, this battle was still difficult for the New Second Regiment, and was not as smooth as the ambush on Hill 474.

The Japanese army's resistance was very tenacious, and Kong Jie discovered that there was something wrong with the Japanese army's strength.

"Damn it! Aren't the Japs only one garrison battalion strong? Why are there so many?"

They have already taken down the Japanese army's second line of defense and annihilated at least several hundred Japanese troops.

But when they saw the dense Japanese troops on the third line of defense, they were stunned.

But he understood it immediately.

"Damn it, our intelligence was wrong. The Datong Coal Mine has more than one battalion of troops. I'm afraid it has two battalions."

"But it doesn't matter. Continue the attack according to the original plan and take over the Datong Coal Mine."

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened at Datong Coal Mine.

Just as Kong Jie was about to give the order to continue the attack, gunshots like frying beans broke out inside the mining area.

It seems that there is a battle going on between two sides.

The Japanese troops on the third line of defense also became commotion after hearing the gunfire from the rear.

"What happened in there?"

The Datong Coal Mine area is very large, and the number of miners is naturally very large.

Currently, there are more than 60,000 miners in the entire Datong coal mining area.

Normally, a garrison battalion of more than 1200 people would have no problem keeping watch over these people.

After all, the miners knew that if they rioted, they would surely die. However, with the outbreak of the battle at Meiyukou, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.

They could only keep drawing garrison troops from the rear to fill the gaps.

The miners also began to riot after hearing about the outbreak of fighting.

As the number of Japanese guards gradually decreased, some smart people also saw opportunities.

When the defending force was reduced to a certain number, some people stood up and cheered.

So a group of people came towards the Japanese devils holding hammers, pickaxes, shoulder poles, sickles and other tools.

Although many people were beaten to death during the period, the situation changed as more and more people got involved.

Soon some Japanese soldiers were killed.

These organizers were quite smart and knew that they only had a small number of weapons. If they rushed out, they probably wouldn't be of much help and would instead cause heavy casualties.

So they suggested first taking over several Japanese arsenals in the mining area, which contained a large number of weapons.

So they concentrated the captured weapons and took over the arsenals, whose defenses were not very strong.

Of course, they have suffered a lot of casualties in order to capture these arsenals.

Everyone has seen the hope of getting out. For them, the walking dead, death is no longer so scary.

Because they stay in hell every day and may die at any time.

After taking over the armory, everyone had weapons in their hands.

So these people took weapons and led everyone to cause destruction everywhere.

The saying "strength in numbers" is demonstrated here.

How could a mere two or three hundred people possibly keep an eye on tens of thousands of miners who had gone mad?

They were soon overwhelmed by the crowd.

After seeing the commotion in the third line of defense, Kong Jie seized the opportunity and launched a general attack.

Under the pincer attack, the Japanese in Datong mining area were almost wiped out in less than 20 minutes.

Kong Jie had not expected that such a large mining area could be taken over so easily.

Thanks to these miners, otherwise it would have been a lot of effort.

After calming down these still somewhat agitated miners, two battalions of soldiers were arranged to escort them to Shilihe Village.

The migration of tens of thousands of people still requires some effort.

Fortunately, the distance is only twenty or thirty kilometers.

He has contacted the independent regiment of Shilihe Village, and they have sent troops to meet him.

Naturally, he led the remaining battalion to cause sabotage in the Datong mining area.

Under the guidance of someone familiar, explosives were installed in various equipment, mines, etc.

It will take several months for Datong Coal Mine to resume production.

"Commander, Advisor Li, Commander Sue, and Chief of Staff Kong have received the latest news. The Japanese 71st Regiment has been completely annihilated, and the Datong Coal Mine has been captured."

"The Supreme Commissioner has led his troops towards us."

Faced with the good news that came one after another, Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, Lao Zhao and Lao Kong have done a great job. Now that they've finished their performance, it's our turn."

"Let's go and tear down all those gun towers."

Zuoyun County, as one of the important counties that blocked the Eighth Route Army, not only stationed a regiment of troops, but also built a large number of artillery towers.

Especially in the direction near the Independent Regiment, artillery towers were built on every road for blockade.

After receiving the order, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan led the team to set off.

They will serve as the vanguard to attack Zuoyun County directly, and these artillery towers are nothing to their battalion.

A few recoilless shells can basically destroy all these artillery towers.

In Zuoyun County, the 71rd Infantry Battalion, 16th Division of the 53st Regiment, was responsible for garrisoning the county, and its commander was Major Akimitsu Shigekawa.

"Major, something terrible has happened. The regiment commander has sent a farewell telegram..."

At this moment, Shigekawa Akimitsu was still thinking about which beautiful girl he should spend the night with when he suddenly heard the bad news.

At first he thought he had misheard and asked in confusion, "What telegram?"

The staff officer's face was filled with sorrow. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "This is a farewell telegram in clear code. My troops have been ambushed and surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. There is no hope of breaking out. I am now leading the remaining troops to launch a desperate attack."

After hearing the content of the telegram, Shigekawa Akimitsu coughed violently several times.

Obviously, this telegram had a great impact on him.

He said with shock and disbelief, "How is this possible? The commander has only been on the move for a few hours. How could the Eighth Route Army possibly have the ability to completely wipe out over 2,000 Imperial warriors? How is this possible?"

The staff officer continued, head bowed, "Major, please accept this fact. This is a clear message, there is no mistake."

At this moment another staff officer came in hurriedly.

His face was a little pale as he said, "Report, Datong Coal Mine has been lost and occupied by the Eighth Route Army."

"The outer artillery towers also came under fierce attack from the Eighth Route Army. They possessed a large amount of heavy firepower and were simply unstoppable."

"Now a large force of the Eighth Route Army is heading towards our county town."

"what?"

When Shigekawa Akimitsu heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

The successive bad news stunned him.

It took a while for Major Shigekawa Akimitsu to digest the bad news.

He was just a major, and facing the current situation, he was really caught off guard.

However, he still had some psychological strength and quickly calmed himself down.

"Order all troops outside the city to return to defend, close and reinforce all city gates, and establish blocking positions under the city."

"Take me to Datong."

Soon the signalman handed the microphone to him.

Shigekawa Akimitsu immediately reported all the situations he was facing.

Major General Matsumasa Ayashi was even more shocked and angry.

Now the situation is very clear.

"Bagayalu, the Eighth Route Army's target is not Datong, nor the Datong Coal Mine, but Zuoyun County. This is their real target."

"Asshole, we were all fooled. We were led by the nose by this damn Li Yunlong."

After hearing this, Yamamoto Ikki finally understood what was wrong.

He finally understood why Li Yunlong attacked Datong Coal Mine.

Why are they doing this kind of thing in Datong that is all talk and no action?

Because the 27th Brigade and the 71st Regiment, totaling more than troops, are stationed in Zuoyun County.

If they launched a brute force attack, it would be impossible to capture Zuoyun County.

The county town is garrisoned by nearly 15,000 troops, and is surrounded by numerous imperial reinforcements.

Even if Li Yunlong's weapons were more advanced, it would be impossible to do this.

That's why he made so many moves.

Now Datong is attacking from all sides.

In the chaos, there were not enough troops to deal with them.

So they could only mobilize the 27th Brigade from Zuoyun County.

Because this is the nearest reinforcement.

After the 27th Brigade was transferred away, there was still a regiment stationed in Zuoyun County.

It is still difficult for the independent regiment to take over this place.

After all, it would only take one and a half to two days at most for the 27th Brigade to return again.

Reinforcements from Ningwu, Taiyuan and other directions can also arrive within three to five days.

So Li Yunlong once again chose to attack the Datong Coal Mine, which was closer to Zuoyun County.

In the face of a critical situation, they could only mobilize troops from Zuoyun County.

This happened to be Li Yunlong's trick.

Now Zuoyun County only has one infantry battalion and the useless Imperial Army.

Based on Yamamoto Ikki's understanding of the independent regiment, it would be difficult for this battalion to hold out for a day.

But why did Li Yunlong focus on Zuoyun County?

What is the significance of taking over Zuoyun County?
