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

Wang Xikui was stunned.

"Captain, break out to the east. What are you trying to do? That's the enemy's lair to the east!"

Zheng Kaixuan smiled confidently.

"I came here today to poke the devils' lair!"

"Then I'll reply to the brigade commander and tell him to prepare to withdraw from the battlefield and act independently."

Wang Xikui felt helpless.

He really didn't dare to call back as Zheng Kaixuan said. If he really told the brigade commander that Zheng Kaixuan was leading his men to break out of the Japanese lair, the brigade commander would be scared to death.

What Zheng Kaixuan said was actually correct. The spearhead regiment assigned to them by the brigade had actually completed the mission.

The first batch of Japanese reinforcements that came to support the old village had been eliminated by them. After that, Zheng Kaixuan had a certain degree of autonomy in where to go and what to do.

After all, when the Sharp Knife Regiment was established, it was given letters and documents allowing it to act independently.

This is not considered as disobeying military orders.

"You kid, you're really a fucking lunatic."

Wang Xikui had no choice but to reply to the brigade headquarters with a telegram in a very tactful way.

At the 386th Brigade Headquarters, the brigade commander who received the telegram was so angry that he laughed.

"Zheng Kaixuan, you're planning to act on your own at this time. What the hell are you planning to do?"

At this moment, the communicator reported a piece of news to the brigade headquarters.

The entire 769th Regiment has successfully evacuated from the old village. The entire regiment has dispersed on the spot, divided into squads and platoons, and has sneaked into the surrounding mountains.

The brigade commander nodded but said nothing.

He knew that Zheng Kaixuan was capable. The old village and Longquanyu area were already located in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains, and were surrounded by the rolling Taihang Mountains.

Since the 769th Regiment was able to retreat successfully, Zheng Kaixuan would have no problem escaping safely as long as he retreated in a timely manner.

"Immediately tell Li Yunlong and Kong Jie that there is no need to stop these two Japanese infantry battalions and let them go north."

"However, make sure they don't sit idle. While the Japanese are currently struggling, after dark, launch a surprise attack on Kawagishi Fumisaburo's temporary base from the flank."

Longquanyu.

"Triumph, what are you doing?"

Wang Xikui was quite dissatisfied. Just now, Zheng Kaixuan brought Niu Dashan to dismantle the antenna of the radio station and turned off the radio.

"Turn off the radio for a while. From now on, you are free to act. Everyone in the regiment must obey my orders."

Zheng Kaixuan brushed the dust off his palms and suddenly turned his gaze to the north.

"There's no need to rush to break out to the east. We still need to collect some interest before we leave."

"Chen Shengli, Yang Wanli, you two take a hundred brothers and follow me to Jiuzhuang."

"Brother Xizi, you will be in charge of guarding Longquanyu for the time being. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term."

Zheng Kaixuan had already estimated that among the four Japanese reinforcements, only the Japanese infantry battalion at the Jingxing stronghold was slightly closer and should arrive the earliest.

As for the two Japanese infantry battalions in the south, the distance they traveled was far and it would take at least half a day for them to arrive.

The distance to the Matsui League was not close, and it would take at least half a day to get there.

Wang Xikui had no problem defending Longquanyu in a short period of time.

A level 13 Triumph mortar, a level 12 Triumph mortar, and a level 13 Hanyang fully automatic rifle.

Plus fifty fully automatic rifles and fifty semi-automatic rifles,

Zheng Kaixuan led a hundred people, mounted their war horses, and galloped quickly towards Jiuzhuang.

Jiuzhuang was only five kilometers away from Longquanyu. With the speed of galloping war horses and whipping the horses, it took only about ten minutes for everyone to reach the vicinity of the Japanese artillery tower.

Inside the Jiuzhuang artillery tower, the Japanese soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the 769th Regiment retreating and heard that four reinforcements were coming to support them.

The Japanese defenders in Jiuzhuang believed that even if only the Songjing Regiment and the Jingxing Stronghold Infantry Battalion arrived, Zheng Kaixuan and others would be scared out of their wits and would not even have time to escape, let alone come to Jiuzhuang.

However, just because the Japanese couldn't think of it doesn't mean Zheng Kaixuan didn't dare to do it.

When the Japanese soldiers inside the village saw Zheng Kaixuan leading a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers appearing on the outskirts of Jiuzhuang, they suddenly felt incredible.

Unlike when they faced the 769th Regiment before, these Japanese soldiers were surprised, but not as panicked as before.

Previously, the 769th Regiment dispatched an entire regiment, which had about to people.

This time, Zheng Kaixuan only brought a hundred soldiers.

"Bakayalu, here come the ones seeking death! Kill them!"

The Japanese soldiers in the old village stronghold were not afraid at all. Instead, they became excited, thinking that Zheng Kaixuan and others had brought the credit to them.

At least three hundred Japanese soldiers rushed out of the stronghold.

"Third Battalion Commander, quick victory."

"Yes!"

The commander of the Third Battalion, Yang Wanli, knew that this battle could not be delayed, and he did not dare to drag his feet. He immediately boarded the 13th-level Triumph mortar light tank, and the other two soldiers of the Third Battalion drove the 12th-level mortar tank.

The two tanks had a total of eighteen gun barrels, and without saying a word, they fired a wave of artillery shells at the Japanese soldiers rushing out of the old village.

Zheng Kaixuan now has plenty of artillery shells. He brought a weapons support team with him to the army and eliminated the Japanese guard battalion, earning him more than a thousand epaulettes. He can exchange as many artillery shells as are needed on the battlefield at any time.

In just two or three minutes, the three hundred Japanese soldiers who rushed out were all turned into minced meat on the ground!

"This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers is too powerful, extremely powerful. Quick! Hold the artillery tower and wait for reinforcements."

The only one hundred or so Japanese soldiers left in the artillery tower were scared silly at that time.

They had seen the most elite German-equipped artillery battalion of the National Army fighting before, but even such elite artillerymen were not as ferocious as the people before them!

The shells were like free to Zheng Kaixuan, and they exploded everywhere!

All the Japanese soldiers in the artillery tower began to tremble. Faced with the light mortar vehicles under Zheng Kaixuan that they had never seen before, they even began to doubt whether the artillery tower above their heads could withstand the bombardment!

In fact, the Japanese were completely right to worry. Their artillery towers could not withstand the large-caliber mortar vehicles under Zheng Kaixuan's command.

However, in order to destroy these artillery towers, a huge amount of artillery shells would be needed.

In addition to destroying the artillery tower, Zheng Kaixuan has a simpler and faster way.

The Triumph Mortar has a dual-purpose function of curved and flat firing, and can be adjusted to flat firing mode at any time. It can easily fire powerful shells into the windows of the gun tower.

Flat shooting works quickly, even if people are gone, the building remains!

"Yang Wanli, level the mortar and shoot at the windows of the enemy's artillery tower!"
