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

Chapter 146: A round of artillery fire. Who doesn’t want to fight this battle?

The sky is getting brighter and the night wind is cooler.

It is not that cold in eastern Shanxi in May.

It was a little chilly in the morning, but not too cold to be unbearable outside.

In Longquanyu, the Japanese soldiers from the Matsui Regiment were lying in ambush quietly.

The Japanese in this regiment are really unlucky.

Not only did they travel back and forth for more than ten hours, but they also spent the entire night digging the pit.

When Matsui Shunsho arrived at Longquanyu, the Japanese infantry battalion that rushed to Longquanyu from the Jingxing stronghold happened to be here as well.

This Japanese infantry battalion arrived a step too late and did not see Zheng Kaixuan. Zheng Kaixuan bypassed them and headed straight for Qujiazhai Station.

When they arrived, they saw corpses all over the ground.

The Japanese security battalion of more than a thousand people, consisting of a small number of Japanese and a large number of puppet troops, was completely wiped out in Longquanyu by the Sharp Knife Regiment.

If the Japanese infantry battalion wanted to garrison in Longquanyu, they had to clean up the battlefield and bury the bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers.

This is hard work. With more than a thousand people involved, just digging the pit is a huge project.

However, what made this Japanese infantry battalion happy was that they didn't have to dig for long before the Matsui Regiment arrived here.

So, the soldiers of Matsui Regiment had no choice but to join in digging the pit.

Not long after, this Japanese infantry battalion was transferred again by Kawagishi Fumisaburo to northern Hebei, and the remaining work was done by the Japanese from the Matsui Regiment.

In fact, they didn't want to deal with it, but if they didn't, they could only ambush near the corpse, so they had no choice but to do it.

By the time all the bodies were buried, it was almost dawn.

This group of Japanese soldiers were so tired that they were almost like dogs, and they could hardly even open their eyes.

"Well, there's an old Chinese saying, 'It's easier to surprise than to attack when the enemy is unprepared.' If Zheng Kaixuan's spearhead group is heading back via Longquanyu, then five or six in the morning should be the most likely time for them to arrive..."

The analysis of the old Japanese man Matsui Shunsho is not wrong.

He understood the principles, but he still couldn't fight well.

He said this, but his body was already unable to hold on.

“Ha—ah—”

The old man's upper and lower eyelids kept fighting each other. He couldn't help but raise his arms, stretch, and yawn.

"Where were we just now?"

Matsui rubbed his eyes hard, but still felt too sleepy to open them. He really couldn't hold on any longer.

"Well, I'll take a nap for ten minutes. You guys stay alert..."

Before he even finished giving the order, Matsui lay down on the table and fell asleep in a second. The Japanese temporary regiment command post was suddenly filled with snoring...

The same was true on the positions on both sides of the Longquanyu River. The Japanese soldiers who were ambushing on the hillside and lying in the trenches were all sleeping soundly, holding their guns and drooling.

A reconnaissance team led by the fifth battalion commander Song Pengcheng quietly arrived at Longquanyu and sneaked into the Japanese position.

After a brief investigation, Song Pengcheng and his men returned to Zheng Kaixuan.

"Report to the regiment commander, there should be an entire Japanese regiment inside Longquan Valley. The hillsides on both sides of the ancient river are ambushed densely with Japanese troops..."

An entire regiment? Could it be the Matsui Regiment of the 4th Brigade?

After a little thought, Zheng Kaixuan remembered the Matsui Regiment.

Back then, the Matsui Regiment was preparing to march into Heiyunkou from the Niangzi Pass area, and jointly attack Zheng Kaixuan with the 109th Regiment of the 134th Division.

However, the 134th Regiment was tricked by Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Xikui using the Japanese radio. They were deceived and had no idea where they had run away to.

When the old Japanese soldier Matsui was about to reach Heiyunkou, he turned back to Niangziguan area in order to chase him.

Unexpectedly, he was guarding Longquanyu, and I met him here.

Zheng Kaixuan nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, this regiment should be the Matsui regiment of the 4th Brigade. He and the old devil Sakata Nobutsu are said to be from the same hometown."

"Although the entire regiment is a bit difficult and not that easy to deal with, but as I said just now, if God stands in my way, God will be killed, if Buddha stands in my way, Buddha will be killed. Anyone who dares to stand in my way will be wiped out!"

Song Pengcheng laughed.

"Captain, it's easy to deal with. What's so difficult about it? These bastards are already asleep."

"Fell asleep?"

"real or fake?"

"Aren't they planning to ambush us? Are these bastards planning to fight in their dreams? Hahahaha!"

"What? An ambush in a dream? I, Niu Dashan, have learned a lot today."

Wang Xikui, Chen Shengli, Yang Wanli, Niu Dashan and others all felt incredible when they heard what Song Pengcheng said.

You have never heard of a troop fast asleep on the battlefield while preparing for an ambush.

Throughout history, both in China and abroad, I have seen and heard things that have never been seen or heard before.

This is simply hilarious.

Zheng Kaixuan immediately had a clear judgment in his mind.

Although the Matsui Regiment and the Sakata Regiment belong to the Japanese 4th Independent Brigade, judging from their current performance, their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as the Sakata Regiment.

The Sakata Regiment was known as the elite of the Japanese army, but it was defeated by the original Fourth Battalion and fled in embarrassment with its tail between its legs.

This Matsui Regiment is not a big problem in front of today's spearhead regiment.

"Alright, get ready for battle! Since those devils love to sleep, I'll send them to the eighteen levels of Hell to sleep their fill!"

"Old Song, this reconnaissance mission was completed by your Fifth Battalion. You are the ones who know the distribution of the Japanese troops best."

"I haven't let you lead the attack all along. This time I'll give you a chance and assign the main attack mission to the Fifth Battalion."

Song Pengcheng's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Yes! Commander! The Fifth Battalion will never embarrass you."

Not to mention Song Pengcheng, every soldier in the Fifth Battalion was extremely excited.

The soldiers from other camps all showed expressions of great envy.

The reason for this is that the main attack this time is different from any previous one.

While on the road, Zheng Kaixuan asked the weapons support team to modify a large number of weapons.

The most important weapon is the Triumph mortar. This time all self-propelled artillery and light tanks will be handed over to the 5th Battalion for use.

One level 13 eight-barrel mortar, six level 12 eight-barrel mortars, and eight level 11 six-barrel mortars!

There are a total of fifteen artillery vehicles and a total of 104 gun barrels!

One round of salvo fire is like hundreds of cannons firing simultaneously. Who wouldn’t want to fight this battle personally?

It can be said that this is the strongest heavy firepower the Sharp Knife Regiment has ever had! The largest lineup, the Sharp Knife Regiment has never fought such a rich battle!
