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

Longquanyu, located at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei provinces, is a must-pass place from the western Hebei plain to the Shanxi land. It was called Longquan Pass in ancient times and has been a very important natural fortress since ancient times.

There is no doubt that this is a very important strategic location.

But how could the Japanese understand all this? Although many of them claim to be experts on China, the history, culture and geography of China are vast, boundless and profound. How could the Japanese from the island countries understand this?

Most of the devils only have a superficial understanding of it.

Just a few days ago, the Japanese 20th Division passed by Longquanyu, but the commander of the th Division, Fumisaburo Kawagishi, completely disdained this desolate and unrecognizable mountain village.

They did not stay here for long, but instead led the Japanese troops quickly south to the heart of Taihang Mountains to track down and encircle the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Zheng Kaixuan led the spearhead group and traveled a hundred miles from Heiyunkou, successfully arriving at Longquanyu.

In the middle of Longquanyu is a wide loess road, with rolling hillsides on both sides of the road, and some houses scattered on the hillsides.

Before the Japanese came, this place used to be a village.

This road is said to be an ancient river channel and was once an important node on the royal post road hundreds of years ago. Unfortunately, it no longer has the prosperity it once had.

Especially after the 20th Division passed through Niangzi Pass and went south, the area within dozens of miles was almost deserted.

This group of extremely vicious Japanese devils did all kinds of bad things along the way, allowing their soldiers to rob, rape, and plunder, and kill anyone they saw!

The people were forced to flee and become refugees, hiding in the mountains and forests. This place became desolate and deserted.

"Attention, all battalions, find cover and hide."

When it comes to ambushes, Zheng Kaixuan and the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Regiment are naturally familiar with them and very skilled.

Battalion Commander Chen Shengli led his soldiers and tied the horses to a secluded place deep in the valley.

Several light tanks, self-propelled mortars and other mechanized equipment have high mobility and there is no need to keep them under the nose to attract the attention of the Japanese reinforcements. Zheng Kaixuan arranged them all at both ends of the dirt road along the river, a little further away from the battlefield.

More than two hundred soldiers were lying in ambush on the high ground and hillsides on both sides of the road. The view from here was very broad and commanding.

In Jiucun, the 385th Regiment of the 769th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had also received a telegram that Zheng Kaixuan and the spearhead regiment had arrived at the position.

After receiving the news, Captain Chen immediately issued the battle order without any hesitation.

"Hit me hard!"

The equipment of the 769th Regiment is considered very good among the 129th Division.

Although they cannot be compared with the spearhead regiment, their equipment is also very complete and the ammunition is relatively sufficient?

The entire 769th Regiment was basically equipped with Type rifles, with over twenty light and heavy machine guns.

They also have all kinds of weapons such as grenades, mortars, and grenade launchers.

"Boom! Boom!"

The 769th Regiment directly surrounded the Japanese stronghold in Jiucun, first launching a round of fierce artillery bombardment, and then the soldiers of each battalion, under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, shouted and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese.

"Come on!"

"kill!"

The Japanese soldiers in the old village stronghold immediately became panicked.

Seeing the 769th Regiment descending like a divine force from heaven, the Japanese soldiers in the artillery tower were immediately shocked.

There were only a few hundred Japanese soldiers in the village, and all they could rely on were those few artillery towers. They did not dare to walk out of the artillery towers to engage in a head-on battle with the 769th Regiment.

While these Japanese soldiers were hiding in the artillery tower and fighting back hastily, they also called for help from the Japanese 20th Division, which was responsible for the defense of the Niangzi Pass area.

"Nani?"

After layers of reporting, the Japanese division commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo, who finally received the news, frowned tightly.

"A unit of the Eighth Route Army actually appeared near the old village. How could they possibly do anything?"

The old village was the rear base of the Japanese 20th Division, not far from Jingxing and Niangziren.

Kawagishi couldn't figure out how the Eighth Route Army troops he was desperately tracking appeared in their rear.

Kawagishi immediately summoned the Japanese chief of staff of the 20th Division.

A few minutes later, the two old devils came to the same conclusion.

"This is definitely a tactic of the 129th Division to lure the enemy away from the mountain. The purpose is to disrupt the th Division's continued southward advance. Jiucun can provide support, but we cannot fall for the Eighth Route Army's trick and affect the division's strategic deployment."

Kawagishi did not intend to directly transfer troops from the 20th Division to provide support, but he had to respond to the Japanese devils' request for help in the old village.

"Order Captain Inoue Aoto in the Jingxing stronghold to immediately lead the security brigade to support Jiucun and ensure the annihilation of this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers."

Jingxing is the closest place to the old village. The guard corps is a type of puppet army, organized at the regiment and battalion level, and usually has about a thousand people.

The guard team is directly under the jurisdiction of the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters and is usually led by a Japanese officer.

"Quick! Speed ​​up!"

After receiving the order from the Japanese 20th Division, Inoue Aoto did not dare to delay. He immediately summoned the security brigade and rushed to the old village stronghold.

In Longquanyu, above the ambush position, a warhorse rushed back from the front at a rapid speed. It was the communicator of the spearhead regiment.

"Commander, the Japanese reinforcements are coming! They will reach our encirclement in ten minutes."

Zheng Kaixuan stood on a high ground, looking into the distance with a telescope in his hand.

There were about ten military vehicles in the front of this Japanese team, and behind them were hundreds of puppet troops, running forward quickly.

Zheng Kaixuan estimated that this wave of Japanese reinforcements numbered about a thousand people, including the puppet army infantry behind and the enemies in the military vehicles.

"Why is it a puppet army?"

Zheng Kaixuan frowned.

The puppet army was not a challenge. Their sharp knife commander had come such a long way. If they only caught a puppet army garrison, it would not be worth it.

However, Zheng Kaixuan quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Well, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still a piece of cake. We can use these idiots to test the effectiveness of our newly developed optical sights. Brothers, prepare for battle!"

Just as Zheng Kaixuan was speaking, the security brigade led by Inoue Qingteng had already entered the road of Longquanyu.

This is the only way to the old village, and there is no way to bypass it.

In the blink of an eye, all the security teams had entered the valley road.

Zheng Kaixuan decisively gave the signal to attack.

He was holding a level 10 Triumph grenade launcher and fired a shell at the enemy below.

"Boom!"

As the loud explosion was heard, the soldiers from various battalions of the Sharp Knife Regiment who heard the gunshots immediately took action.

Everyone raised their fully automatic and semi-automatic rifles and shot at the enemies below in the valley.

Before firing, everyone turned on the solar optical sight.

Dazzling red lights emanated from the valleys on both sides and shot towards the security brigade below.

The Japanese security brigade was suddenly thrown into chaos. Their eyes were stung by the fierce light, their vision became blurred, and they became blind in an instant. They all wailed in pain.

"Ah! What is that? I can't see it..."

"Such a dazzling light, quickly cover your eyes, ah——"
