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

The Japanese 20th Division.

The Japanese division commander didn't sleep all night.

That night, he frequently mobilized troops and continued to chase and intercept Zheng Kaixuan and the Sharp Knife Regiment.

However, every time he predicted, he accurately avoided Zheng Kaixuan's marching route...

Especially the last time, he and the Japanese chief of staff confidently speculated that Zheng Kaixuan would definitely not go back and would most likely advance into the northwest of Shanxi.

Without a doubt, they were wrong again.

From early morning to dawn, many unidentified armed forces suddenly appeared in the Jingxing mining area.

Some headed towards northern Hebei, while others headed towards eastern Shanxi, southern Hebei, southeastern Hebei and other places.

These armed forces were the miners who escaped from the mine and were given guns by Zheng Kaikaixuan.

The Japanese soldiers in the nearby strongholds were confused at the time. There were teams with guns everywhere. They had no idea which team was the spearhead team.

In addition, it was dark and the road was slippery, so the Japanese were afraid of being ambushed. Although they launched a pursuit, they did not catch up with even a single team.

It was not until dawn that several Japanese scouts accidentally discovered that a convoy and cavalry troops were heading towards Longquanyu.

It was already dawn, and based on various circumstances, they deduced that this unit was the spearhead regiment they had been looking for, Zheng Kaixuan's unit.

The news was quickly reported to Kawagishi.

"Snapped!"

After receiving the news, Kawaichi lost all sleepiness, stood up, and slapped himself hard in the face in front of a group of astonished Japanese soldiers.

"Zheng Kaixuan's military strategy was divine, and we failed."

Kawaishi looked gloomy. After slapping himself in the face, he sat down on the chair dejectedly.

After a night of pursuit and interception, they were never able to catch him.

Instead, the Sharp Knife Regiment destroyed the railway, blew up the station, destroyed the mining area, burned the coal mine, and rescued thousands of miners.

All the Japanese troops were walked around by the Sharp Knife Regiment like dogs for the whole night.

The Japanese 20th Division and the troops stationed in eastern Shanxi and western Hebei were completely defeated! A crushing defeat!

"General, there's no need to be pessimistic. Zheng Kaixuan may not be able to return to Heiyunkou alive."

At this moment, the Japanese chief of staff stood up.

"The Songjing Regiment of the 4th Independent Brigade is currently setting up an ambush in Longquanyu. Zheng Kaixuan has a small number of men, so it's unlikely that he will be able to break through the Songjing Regiment's defense line in a short period of time..."

Hearing the chief of staff's words, Kawagishi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Yoshi! So, Zheng Kaixuan is really unlucky, haha!"

Kawagishi suddenly burst into laughter.

"Zheng Kaixuan, even if you're a master of military strategy, you're still too young. You can win countless times, but if you fail just once, you're done!"

"It's all your fault. You shouldn't have gone this deep into the enemy territory alone!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the Songjing Regiment and have them stop Zheng Kaixuan's spearhead regiment with all their might."

"Order all locust army strongholds near Longquanyu to immediately dispatch troops to encircle the sharp knife group's rear..."

However, it is obvious that Kawagishi underestimated the combat effectiveness of the spearhead regiment and overestimated the strength of the Matsui regiment.

At the Longquanyu position, the Japanese soldiers were snoring loudly and sleeping soundly.

The light mortar armored vehicles of the spearhead regiment had already raised their guns and were aimed at the Japanese positions.

"Fifth Battalion! All tanks, listen to the order, everyone! Fire!"

Song Pengcheng's voice was trembling.

This was an unprecedented firepower coverage for the Sharp Knife Regiment! With 300 people, or to be more precise, Triumph mortars against an entire regiment of the Japanese, this was a moment of miracle.

How could he not be excited?

“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish…”

"Swish, swish, swish..."

“Swoosh, s ...…”

…………

As soon as the Fifth Battalion Commander Song Pengcheng finished speaking, all the gunners of the Fifth Battalion pressed the launch button at the same time.

The sound of artillery shells breaking through the air was endless, like thousands of arrows shooting towards the Japanese positions.

The flames spurting out from the barrels of the artillery vehicles dispelled the last trace of darkness between heaven and earth!

Let Longquanyu completely usher in the brightness of a new day!

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

“Boom boom boom boom…”

"Boom boom boom boom..."

“Boom boom boom boom boom…”

One salvo consists of 104 shells!

The shells fell on the Japanese positions and on the hilly slopes on both sides of the ancient river channel, immediately stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

The dust was blown up several meters high, covering the sky like a sandstorm.

The overwhelming sound of explosions shook for miles, as if the end of the world had come.

Even the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Regiment who were several miles away were so shocked by the explosion that they couldn't help but cover their ears.

The deafening explosion woke up the drowsy old Japanese soldier Matsui Shunsho.

"What? Where are you working?"

The old Japanese soldier Matsui jumped up and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Captain, it's bad, the spearhead regiment is attacking."

A Japanese signalman ran into the tent in a panic and reported to Matsui.

Matsui, who had just woken up, was immediately furious.

"Baka! What's a mere spearhead regiment? How can they possibly be a match for the mighty Matsui Regiment of the Great Sun Empire? Immediately organize the artillery squadron to launch a counterattack! We must capture Zheng Kaixuan alive and avenge the Sakata Regiment!"

As he was speaking, the old Japanese soldier Matsui had already walked out of the tent, picked up a telescope and looked into the distance.

He was on a high ground behind the battlefield, overlooking the area around Longquanyu, and he could see it very clearly.

"N-ni!"

After seeing the scene in front of him, Matsui's voice was almost trembling with shock.

On the Longquanyu position, artillery fire was flying and the earth was shaking!

The artillery shells of the spearhead regiment were like a rain of arrows and a swarm of locusts, covering the sky and smashing heavily into the Japanese positions.

It's not just Longquanyu.

The shells were like a tide, wave after wave constantly coming forward.

It won’t be long before we can bomb the Matsui Regiment’s headquarters!

Matsui was shocked beyond words.

If someone had told him in the past that this was just the firepower of part of a regiment, he would not have believed it even if they had drowned him in a cesspool.

But now, his whole body was shaking with fear.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

The old Japanese soldier Matsui was so scared that he dropped his telescope, turned around and ran away, leaving a group of Japanese soldiers stunned and standing there.

Immediately, the Japanese rear troops reacted and hurriedly followed Matsui's footsteps and began to run for their lives.

Matsui ran more than a kilometer in one breath and ran to the Japanese motor vehicle unit in the rear. Then he jumped into the car quickly, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and rushed towards the old village with its tail between its legs.

"Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief is still in Longquanyu..."

"Then let the Chief of Staff take over first. I'm going to leave first..."

"Notify the locust army behind to evacuate immediately. Zheng Kaixuan is too terrifying."

"Withdraw from eastern Shanxi directly. Oh no, withdraw from Shanxi Province directly. If we encounter Zheng Kaixuan's spearhead group again, we should hide as far away as possible..."
