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

No wonder Kawagishi is so angry.

An entire brigade, equipped with light tanks and supported by Type 97 medium tanks, was beaten to a pulp by dozens of people from the spearhead regiment.

It can be said that the Japanese have lost face to their own grave.

According to incomplete statistics later conducted by Maruyama Sotaku's men, in this battle, the total number of casualties of the Ono Regiment and the infantry battalion led by Saito Sho that went to support it reached about 1300 people.

Among them, the Japanese deputy commander of the regiment, Kinoshita, was killed by a drone bomb, the Japanese chief of staff, Daisuke Tamura, was killed by a second bombing by a triumphant mortar, the Japanese battalion commander, Toshio Ono, was blown to pieces, and countless other infantry company and squad leaders were killed...

Kenji Ono is still in a coma. The entire Ono Regiment suffered heavy losses and its organization has been crippled.

In addition, the Ono Regiment's anti-tank artillery squadron, infantry artillery squadron, and mortar squadron were almost uprooted.

Not only were most of the artillerymen killed or wounded, but many of the guns were also deformed and could no longer be used on the battlefield.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

As the vanguard, the Ono Regiment carried more than 70% of the brigade's food and supplies, all of which were burned to ashes by the fire set by the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Regiment.

In the following days, even eating became a big problem for the Maruyama Brigade.

After the spearhead regiment retreated, the Japanese medium tank formation quickly arrived at the battlefield.

But they didn't dare to pursue at all.

Although the Type 97 medium tank was powerful, they were also afraid of being ambushed at night.

The Japanese brigade commander Maruyama Sotaku suffered a great loss and never dared to underestimate the spearhead regiment again. The entire brigade was merged into one and no longer dared to divide it into the front and rear teams.

The Japanese division commander, Fumisaburo Kawagishi, was furious and requested the North China Expeditionary Force Command to send fighter jets to bomb the spearhead regiment's base overnight.

A formation of three fighter planes, including one Japanese bomber, two Japanese fighter planes, set off from northern Hebei and roared towards the Heiyunkou area overnight.

It was already midnight when Wei Zhuang, Zheng Kaixuan and others returned to the spearhead regiment's base.

Zheng Kaixuan had no intention of staying in Wei Zhuang any longer.

Wei Zhuang is now empty. Everything that can be moved in the village has been packed up and transported into the mountains.

"Captain, you are finally back."

The Sixth Battalion Commander Xin Qiankun, the Third Battalion Commander Yang Wanli and others, along with hundreds of soldiers, were guarding the village entrance, ready for battle.

Seeing Zheng Kaixuan and everyone else come back, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick, dismantle all the chariots and carry them into the mountains."

Zheng Kaixuan began to order the car to be dismantled.

Under the command of the weapons support team, except for the level 14 Hanyang tank, all the others were quickly dismantled and broken into a large number of parts.

Hundreds of war horses, carrying these parts, quickly went into the mountains and hid them all.

At this moment, the only thing still left outside was the level 14 tank.

In addition, there are two ordinary mortars and two Pheasant Neck heavy machine guns.

"Captain, aren't we going to dismantle this one?" Xin Qiankun asked doubtfully.

"Don't tear it down yet. I still have a surprise for the devils."

"Surprise? What surprise?"

Zheng Kaixuan did not answer him directly, but smiled mysteriously.

"Don't worry, you'll know soon. So, Sixth Battalion Commander, you take ten people with me and stay in the village. I have other plans. The rest of you go into the mountains to rest."

Everyone knew that Zheng Kaixuan was a master strategist with countless clever ideas, so no one questioned his decision.

After leaving ten sets of bulletproof vests and helmets for Xin Qiankun and ten other people, the rest of the people, led by deputy regiment commander Wang Xikui, all went into the mountains.

"Captain, what exactly is the mission? Just tell us."

Xin Qiankun had been whetting his appetite with Zheng Kaixuan, and he felt itchy in his heart, so he couldn't help but ask again.

"Okay, then I'll tell you, the Japanese fighter planes may fly over here later. I asked you to stay here so that you can shoot down their planes."

"Shoot down the Japanese planes? Commander, how is that possible?"

"Captain, what are we going to use to fight? The Japanese planes are so fast."

"Ordinary guns and cannons can't reach the planes."

Zheng Kaixuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted the level 14 chariot in front of him.

"See that machine gun at the back? It's called an anti-aircraft machine gun, specifically used to shoot down airplanes."

"If we can shoot down one of the Japanese planes tonight, from now on, the Japanese fighter planes will tremble in fear when carrying out bombing missions and will definitely not dare to act so recklessly again."

Xin Qiankun and others stroked the anti-aircraft machine guns, with excitement in their eyes.

"If the regimental commander says we can shoot it down, then we can definitely shoot it down. We trust you, but, commander, what role can we play in shooting down the Japanese planes?"

"I asked you to stay because I have a mission for you to complete."

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Kaixuan assigned tasks to everyone.

"Each of you will carry a mortar and a machine gun. Spread out and hide in the tunnels."

"Remember, after you dodge the first round of bombing from the Japs, you must immediately rush out and start shooting into the sky."

"There's no need to aim at the Japanese planes. You won't be able to hit them anyway. Just shoot randomly, then immediately throw away your weapons and hide in the tunnel. You don't have to worry about what happens next."

"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission."

After hearing Zheng Kaixuan's words, everyone hurriedly took their weapons and looked for the most suitable hiding place.

Zheng Kaixuan hid the level 14 Triumphal Chariot under a tree-lined path at the entrance of the village.

The muzzle of the gun is pointed towards the sky, ready for battle.

“Buzz…buzz…”

Zheng Kaixuan's guess was absolutely correct. As expected, the Japanese could not swallow this humiliation and sent fighter planes to bomb the headquarters of the Sharp Knife Regiment overnight.

The sound waves of the bomber were so loud that the air flow was buzzing. Even from a long distance away, you could hear the sound before you saw the plane.

Zheng Kaixuan immediately perked up.

"Prepare the anti-aircraft guns, get ready to fire! Now that the Japs' planes are coming, let's get them down for a ride."
