A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

Yoshizawa Shun still wanted to insist on persuading Sakata to continue fighting, but at this moment, two Japanese signalmen ran to the door of the brigade's temporary command post, panting and looking anxious.

"Reporting to the regiment commander and the chief of staff, a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers have been spotted on the left and are encircling the locust army headquarters."

"Report to the regiment commander, report to the chief of staff, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have appeared on the right side of the battlefield and are also encircling us."

Upon hearing the news, the old Japanese soldier Sakata was so scared that his face turned green.

"Damn it! Zheng Kaixuan is so cunning! He's trying to attract our attention directly, but secretly wants to send troops to surround us. Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

Sakata put down the telescope, turned around and wanted to leave.

At this moment, a series of sounds of breaking through the air suddenly rang out from the sky.

"Nani! What is that?"

Sakata was very keenly aware that something was wrong, and he turned his head to look at the sky.

Above the sky, eight black dots flew towards him one after another, becoming bigger and bigger, and closer and closer in his pupils!

"Captain, it's a shell!"

The two Japanese guards and two Japanese communicators were so scared that they almost died when they found out that the shells coming at them were actually artillery shells from the Eighth Route Army.

In the blink of an eye, they all fell to the ground, leaving only the old Japanese soldiers Sakata and Yoshizawa Shun, who were shocked to the point of being stunned, still standing there blankly.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

A total of eight artillery shells were fired onto the open space in front of the tent of the Japanese temporary command center.

The entire open space was suddenly filled with smoke from the explosion, and snow, mud, earth, gravel, blood, and body parts were flying everywhere.

When the dust settled, eight shell craters more than half a meter deep appeared on the ground.

The old Japanese Chief of Staff of the Sakata Regiment, Yoshizawa Shun, happened to be within the range of the explosion and was blown into pieces, leaving only a bloody watermelon.

The remaining Japanese signalmen and guards were also blown to pieces and killed.

The old Japanese soldier Sakata was just at the edge of the explosion circle, but was also pierced into the abdomen by two flying shrapnel. Sakata screamed in pain and spit out mouthfuls of blood.

"Rescue His Excellency the Captain."

Several other Japanese guards not far away hurried over and lifted the old Japanese soldier Sakata onto a stretcher.

"Retreat quickly, quickly! Hurry up, it will be too late if you are late..."

Sakata stopped the Japanese guards from bandaging his wounds and instead ordered them to carry him and escape immediately.

Five kilometers away from the Sakata Brigade Command Post, Zheng Kaixuan braked the car and then sighed softly.

He already knew the result of the previous round of bombing. Just now, the system had already reported it in his mind.

He was awarded four ordinary Japanese soldier shoulder straps and one Japanese lieutenant colonel shoulder strap.

Lieutenant Colonel basically holds the position of deputy regiment commander or regiment chief of staff in the Japanese army.

Under special circumstances, there are also people who serve as team leaders, but the probability is very low and they are extremely rare.

He had just bombarded the temporary command post of the Japanese army. It was unlikely that the Japanese captain could stay in that place.

It is very likely the deputy commander or the chief of staff.

In short, no matter what, Zheng Kaixuan definitely caught a big fish with this shot.

It's a pity that the old devil Sakata didn't seem to be killed. Otherwise, he should have received a colonel's epaulettes.

This can only mean that Zheng Kaixuan was unlucky and Sakata was lucky.

The old Japanese Sakata's command post is far away from the battlefield, and this old guy has been hiding in the rear.

The effective range of the 6500th-level Triumph Mortar light tank driven by Zheng Kaixuan is meters.

At that time, Zheng Kaixuan was more than five kilometers away from the Japanese command center.

Originally, Zheng Kaixuan was only 70% to 80% sure of hitting Sakata.

But just before the gun was about to fire, several Japanese shells suddenly fell in front of Zheng Kaixuan's car.

Although these Japanese artillery shells could not cause him any harm, they did disgust him.

The mud and snow on the ground were blown everywhere by these shells, splashing the windshield in front of Zheng Kaixuan's chariot with mud!

Just now he observed that the old Japanese soldier Sakata was about to escape. Although his vision was blocked, Zheng Kaixuan had to fire urgently in a hurry.

These shells were almost blind shots, and being able to achieve this level of accuracy was actually quite good.

There is only one chance. Unlike the plain area where Zheng Kaixuan is at this time, the command post of the Sakata Regiment is set up on the slopes and valleys.

If you miss this opportunity, you won’t be able to win.

At this time, the firepower of several Japanese artillery squadrons had been completely eliminated.

At this moment, the old Japanese soldier Sakata no longer cared about the Japanese soldiers who were still struggling on the battlefield and those precious mountain cannons and anti-tank guns.

He led the regiment's medical team, logistics troops, communications troops, engineering team, etc., a total of about 500 Japanese soldiers, and immediately fled in shame and embarrassment with their tails between their legs.

Xing Zhiguo led the soldiers of the independent regiment and came around from the left wing of the battlefield, while Xin Qiankun, the commander of the 6th Company of the 4th Battalion, led the 6th Company of the 4th Battalion and some soldiers of the independent regiment and came around from the right wing of the battlefield.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Xikui led the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion out of the trenches and surrounded all the Japanese on the battlefield.

Chen Shengli and others drove Hanyang-made fully automatic rifle motorcycles, frantically chasing and killing the Japanese on the battlefield.

Kong Jie put down the Triumph mortar, took a gun and joined the battlefield with hundreds of people.

In less than half an hour, all the Japanese devils on the battlefield were wiped out, leaving no one alive.

"What a joy! This battle was truly a joy. Who could have imagined that the mighty Sakata Regiment would be completely routed by the combined might of the Fourth Battalion and our Independent Regiment?"

This time, Kong Jie can finally be said to have been able to hold his head high.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, we killed over 2600 Japanese soldiers in this battle. Adding the 700 or so killed in the last rescue battle, we killed about 3300 of the Sakata Regiment. We've crippled the Sakata Regiment!"

Wang Fugui led the soldiers, counted the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and then ran to report to Zheng Kaixuan. His voice was full of excitement and excitement.

Just as the Fourth Battalion and the Independent Regiment were cleaning up the battlefield.

An Eighth Route Army unit of more than 100 people arrived near Heiyunkou.

The signalman immediately reported to Zheng Kaixuan.

Zheng Kaixuan was shocked when he saw the person coming.

The Eighth Route Army officer who took the lead was none other than Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the New 1st Regiment.

Zhang Dabiao also brought Zheng Kaixuan a very important piece of news.

"Brother Kaixuan, I'm here because the division headquarters sent me here to deliver a notice to the Fourth Battalion."

"The battle of Xiyang is over, and the Japanese are about to launch a large-scale sweep of the southeastern Shanxi region."

"The division commander said that whoever occupies the Taihang Mountains will seize the initiative in the war in Shanxi. The division headquarters is preparing to advance southward into the Taihang Mountains and establish the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Revolutionary Base Area."

"The division headquarters has now given the Fourth Battalion two options. First, follow the main force south to Taihang."

"Second, stay behind enemy lines, develop independently, and become a sharp knife that plunges into the enemy's heart!"
