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

Beizhouzhuang Town!

Beizhouzhuang Town is an ordinary town located in the north of Shuozhou.

However, the current Beizhouzhuang Town bears important responsibilities.

Since this small town is located on the Tongpu Railway, Beizhouzhuang Town Station has now become an important logistics transit base for the Japanese army in Shuozhou.

It is precisely because of this that this place became one of the main attack targets of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

There is currently a division-strength Japanese army stationed in Shuozhou.

Their target was Pianguan in the northwest.

Pianguan is the core road leading to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and the main force of the 120th Division is currently defending here.

In a depression 6 kilometers away from Beizhouzhuang Town, the main force of the 129th Regiment of the 385th Brigade of the 770th Division is hiding here.

A heavy artillery battalion was hidden several kilometers behind the 770th Regiment.

They will provide the main artillery support for the 770th Regiment.

770 regiment headquarters.

A messenger ran to Captain Zhao and stood at attention, reporting, "Report, everything is normal at Beizhouzhuang Town Station. The brigade commander ordered us to launch the attack on time."

Without even looking up, Captain Zhao said, "I understand."

The deputy on the side glanced at him and asked, "Old Zhao, aren't you worried at all? You know, there's a large group of Japanese troops stationed at Beizhouzhuang Town Station, nearly a thousand men."

Captain Zhao snorted nonchalantly and said, "If it were before, I would have been worried, but now we have a strong army and a heavy artillery battalion to support us."

"If we can't even take down a battalion of Japanese soldiers, then we can no longer be called the main force of the 770th Regiment."

The current 770th Regiment is a full-strength main force regiment with more than people.

The equipment is complete and sophisticated, all of which were brought by Li Jingrong from modern time and space.

It was these things that gave Captain Zhao great confidence.

Then, Captain Zhao glanced at his watch and said, "The attack will begin in ten minutes. Have you established communication with the artillery battalion?"

Zuiwei nodded and said, "The communications company has already set up the communications equipment, so communications can remain smooth."

"Very good, then let us wait and see."

The 129rd Artillery Battalion of the th Division Heavy Artillery Regiment.

A total of 12 Type 541 122mm howitzers were pointed at Beizhouzhuang Town, 8 kilometers away.

"Target Beizhouzhuang Town Railway Station, sabotage shooting mission, distance 7.64, 122mm ammunition, altitude 56... first salvo!"

As the order was given, the 12 122mm caliber howitzers of the rd Artillery Battalion let out a deafening roar.

Muzzle flames gushed out, and shells whizzed towards targets several kilometers away.

Beizhouzhuang Town is still operating as usual at this moment.

Because the Eighth Route Army was usually poorly equipped, they did not dare to launch an attack on such a large target.

What's more, there are artillery towers and some outer defensive fortifications around it.

These targets alone can stop the attack of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

So they were worried that the Eighth Route Army would attack here.

A military train slowly drove into Beizhouzhuang Town Station.

The military train was carrying weapons, equipment, ammunition and troops of an artillery battalion.

Their destination is Shuozhou. They will make a temporary stop here for supplies before continuing towards Shuozhou.

It can only be said that it was a coincidence that the military train had just stopped when the sound of artillery shells whistled in the sky.

The shells fell accurately towards the train station like meteorites from the sky.

“Boom boom boom…”

With the impact of more than ten heavy artillery shells, the entire train station turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

One of the shells hit a section of the carriage behind the locomotive.

The huge explosion instantly destroyed the front of the military column.

The Japanese and puppet troops in the train station were stunned by the explosion.

The shells came at a rate of about one every ten seconds, and the train station was reduced to ruins in just a few minutes.

The warehouse filled with various supplies and ammunition became the next target of the Third Artillery Battalion.

The 770th Regiment rushed out of its hiding place at the first moment when the rd Artillery Battalion fired a salvo and moved towards Beizhouzhuang Town Station.

They encountered the first obstacle in a village about three kilometers away from Beizhouzhuang Town Station.

There are two artillery towers here, where a small team of Japanese troops are stationed.

However, the artillery tower that they were usually proud of seemed so vulnerable under the 120mm heavy mortar.

Not to mention that the 770th Regiment is also equipped with the 82mm recoilless rifle, a powerful weapon for attacking.

After losing the support of the artillery tower, a squad of Japanese troops was wiped out by the vanguard of the 770th Regiment in less than five minutes.

The artillery tower here is the last obstacle to their path to Beizhouzhuang Town Station, and the road ahead is unobstructed.

When the 770th Regiment arrived at Beizhouzhuang Town Station, almost half an hour had passed.

During this half hour, the Third Artillery Battalion fired hundreds of heavy artillery shells here.

The 770th Regiment captured this place effortlessly.

During this period, the remaining Japanese troops fought hard to resist.

But facing the 770th Regiment equipped with advanced weapons and equipment, it seemed so vulnerable.

When Captain Zhao saw the battle in the arena, he was extremely surprised.

In the past, facing a battalion of Japanese soldiers, let alone taking the initiative to attack, even defending would be enough to make their regiment suffer.

Now, he wiped out an entire battalion of troops effortlessly.

Of course, the Third Artillery Battalion made the greatest contribution during this period.

If it weren't for their ferocious output.

If their 770th Regiment wanted to wipe out a large battalion of Japanese soldiers, it would probably take most of the day, and the casualties would not be too small.

Attacks similar to the one at Beizhouzhuang Town Station began to occur one after another on the Tongpu Line in northwestern Shanxi.

Nearly 20 Eighth Route Army troops launched an all-out attack with great momentum.

The main forces of the Eighth Route Army emerged in many places such as Huairen, Shuozhou, Ningwu and Xinkou.

This action also shocked the Japanese invaders throughout the western Shanxi province.

"Your Highness, urgent information."

"The Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi launched an all-out attack, launching surprise attacks on towns along our Tongpu Line."

"We did not anticipate their actions at all. Many areas along the Tongpu Line were occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and the losses were extremely heavy."

"what?"

When the news was heard, the entire combat hall fell silent.

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would be so bold.

When they gathered a large force to encircle and suppress them.

Not only did they not withdraw their troops to prepare for defense.

He actually dared to initiate an attack.

However, even if the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to launch an attack, with their weapons and equipment, they would not pose much threat to them.

However, these battle reports told them that the battle situation was extremely unfavorable to them.

It can now be said that the Tongpu Line has been completely cut off by the Eighth Route Army.

For them, now is not the time to launch a so-called encirclement and suppression campaign.

Instead, we should consider how to reclaim the Tongpu Railway.

However, the war situation became increasingly worse as time went by.

In less than half a day, they lost control of several sections of the Tongpu Railway.

The only good news now is probably that the major cities along the way have not been attacked.

This is also where their troops are most concentrated.

Perhaps this is also the main reason why the Eighth Route Army did not attack these cities.

However, after half a day of fighting, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko and others also discovered that something was wrong.

They found that this group of Eighth Route Army did not look like the Eighth Route Army at all.

"There's something wrong with this Eighth Route Army. No, I should say that there's something wrong with the entire Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi."

Through the battle reports analyzed by the staff, it can be clearly seen that something is wrong with the Eighth Route Army.

The problem is mainly due to the equipment.

According to the intelligence feedback from the front line.

At present, the Eighth Route Army's offensive force is approximately between 15 and 25, which is all the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi.

It is hard to imagine that during last year's encirclement and suppression campaign, the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi was reduced from over 100,000 to tens of thousands.

In just about half a year, not only did the army recover to its peak, but it also grew to a force of 200,000 to 300,000.

The speed of development made Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko feel a little scared.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, it is just an agricultural country, no matter how many troops they have.

It is difficult to pose much threat to an industrial power like Neon.

But at present, the 200,000 or so Eighth Route Army troops are all equipped with the automatic weapons of the Independent Regiment.

Judging from some guns seized from the front lines.

These Eighth Route Army soldiers were almost all equipped with automatic weapons.

Automatic rifles, light and heavy machine guns, etc. are all available.

Not only that, a large number of heavy artillery appeared on the front line, the number was at least no less than one hundred.

As for the mortars, they are not counted yet.

But according to the estimates of the General Staff.

Each organized unit of the Eighth Route Army was equipped with a large number of mortars and rocket launchers.

In other words, they are no longer facing a peasant armed force.

Instead, it is a regular army equipped with a large number of automatic weapons and artillery.

Their previous equipment advantage was now gone, and they were at a serious disadvantage in firepower.

This can be seen from the battle reports.

When both sides have equal military strength, it is difficult for their elite troops, which they are proud of, to gain the upper hand.

Although the Japanese army has a certain advantage in individual combat effectiveness.

After all, the Pacific War has just broken out, and there are still many veterans in the Japanese army in the country.

These veterans have strong combat skills and are very accurate with their marksmanship.

However, their marksmanship made it difficult to gain an advantage when faced with superior firepower.

Every time they fired a shot, the Eighth Route Army could fire a volley of bullets at them.

This is the current situation.

The situation immediately became serious for them.

"Li Jingrong, it must be him. He must have provided the Eighth Route Army with a large amount of weapons and equipment."

"I thought his capabilities were limited, and the equipment he could bring in was only enough to equip the independent regiment."

"I didn't expect that we miscalculated and completely underestimated his ability."

"He was able to bring in equipment for hundreds of thousands of people without anyone noticing."

A major general said in a somewhat distraught tone, his eyes filled with powerlessness and despair.
