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

"Attacking the Shota Railway?"

It was not until then that Zheng Kaixuan realized how determined the organization was this time, and he also vaguely guessed what this battle was about.

"The organization intends to gather a large force this time, probably over twenty regiments, to completely crush the Japanese conspiracy, inflict a crushing blow on Shinozuka Yoshio and his men, and in one fell swoop turn the tide of the anti-Japanese war in Shanxi and even across North China."

"More than twenty regiments?"

Zheng Kaixuan smiled.

Even if others don’t know, how could he not know?

At this moment, the spark has been ignited, and the elders and folks from all over the country have organized themselves and awakened.

I'm afraid even the organization itself doesn't understand how many troops it has under its command.

There are more than 20 groups! A conservative estimate is over 100 groups!

"Okay, I think there's no problem with attacking the Zhengtai Railway. Let's work out the specific battle plan..."

Since the winter of 39, the Japanese have built a large number of roads and railways in the occupied areas, with a total length of several thousand kilometers.

This greatly facilitated the Japanese's material transportation and military operations.

At the same time, the Japanese used these highway and railway transportation arteries to separate the guerrilla forces, and then continuously transported away the resources looted from the country.

Although the Zhengtai Railway was not built by the Japanese, but was a product left over from decades ago in China, this transportation line is currently one of the most important arteries for the Japanese transportation.

The Zhengtai Railway runs westward from Zhengding, Hebei Province, and directly reaches Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi.

It runs east-west, crossing the vast Taihang Mountains, and is the most important lifeline for the Japanese to quickly transport troops and food to the First Army Headquarters of Yoshio Shinozuka stationed in Shanxi.

Cutting off this line is equivalent to cutting off a major lifeline of the Taiyuan devils!

Before this, Zheng Kaixuan led the Sharp Knife Regiment out of Longquanyu to the east and broke through Niangzi Pass. Along the way, they destroyed several Japanese stations and blew up hundreds of meters of railway tracks.

But at that time, the number of people in the spearhead group was too small and the strength was not that strong.

Since the spearhead regiment left, the Japanese spent a lot of effort to reconnect the destroyed section of the railway.

The Japanese had set up a large number of bunkers, stations, bridges and strongholds along the railway line, and sent people to patrol back and forth all day long.

"The Japanese strongholds along the Shota Line are nothing to fear. Yamamoto Ikki's 9th Brigade is currently in the Niangzi Pass area near the Shota Road. If we want to disrupt the Shota Road, the first step is to eliminate the 9th Brigade."

Zheng Kaixuan pointed out the crux of the problem.

"agree."

"I agree with Lao Zheng's opinion."

Several people agreed.

"Although we are not too far from Niangzi Pass, only a few dozen kilometers away, it is not appropriate to send troops at this moment."

"That bastard Yamamoto is very cunning. The destruction of the Kawagishi Division must have shocked him. If we rashly send troops during the day, Yamamoto will definitely slip away. This time, our target shouldn't just be Zheng Tailu, we must also completely destroy Yamamoto's 9th Brigade..."

In the end, Zheng Kaixuan made the final decision.

In order not to alert the enemy, the entire army rested during the day and remained motionless.

When it was night, they set out overnight and attacked the Niangziguan Jingxing area with lightning speed, first destroying Yamamoto and then breaking through Zhengtai Road!

At the same time, Zheng Kaixuan sent out a drone reconnaissance team to start continuous flights to convey orders to all his subordinates.

If you want to play, then play big!

Within half a day, the Shijiaopo militia, Wanjiazhen militia, Niujiayu militia, Changyugou militia and other armed forces all received orders from Zheng Kaixuan.

The other half of the spearhead regiment located in Heiyunkou, including deputy regiment commander Wang Xikui, battalion commanders Wang Fugui, Song Pengcheng and others, also received orders.

Zheng Kaixuan ordered that after dark, they should simultaneously launch a raid on the Zhengtai Railway Line between Taiyuan and Niangziguan to cooperate with the main force.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Kaixuan received another intercom call from Ding Wei.

"Old Zheng, how about lending me those Triumph Grenades you have stored in Liuzhuang? Our New 1st Regiment has also received notice from our superiors to be primarily responsible for this planned bridge bombing operation."

When Zheng Kaixuan left Liuzhuang base, he did leave some supplies and equipment there. He didn't expect that Ding Wei was still thinking about it.

"Okay, Lao Ding, we are all brothers in the army. There is nothing to say. Since you need it, then take it and use it."

It was just a few hundred Triumph grenades, but Zheng Kaixuan was generous and gave them directly to Ding Wei.

Ding Wei was overjoyed.

"Okay, Lao Zheng, I won't say much more about thanking you. I'll treat you to a drink next time we meet."

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, it was evening.

Zheng Kaixuan has successfully notified all of his combat troops.

The spearhead action team is ready to go.

Five hundred Triumph Ivy trucks have been lined up.

Yes, you read that right, a full five hundred ivy vehicles.

During the two days of combat, Zheng Kaixuan gradually assembled and took out some ivy.

Since they were not taken out at once, it did not arouse any suspicion.

Five hundred ivy trucks can carry a load of more than five hundred tons.

All the equipment and supplies in the spearhead action team can be taken away at one time.

Just as the spearhead action team was preparing to set off, the Japanese 9th Brigade also began to move.

Yamamoto Ikki and Yokoyama Nagao watched all day, waiting fearfully for information to be sent back from the front.

However, the spearhead action team is too fast and its combat capability is too strong.

The Japanese scouts were unable to find out any useful information.

Most of the scouts sent by Yamamoto were wiped out by the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Regiment, and only a few were able to escape alive.

Yamamoto Ikki and Yokoyama Nagao were getting a little restless.

From this morning until now, they have not received any response to the telegram they sent to Kawagishi Fumisaburo.

Yamamoto finally started to panic.

"No news is the worst news. Most of our scouts were wiped out in the mountains by Zheng Kaixuan. This is enough to prove that Zheng Kaixuan's troops have completely taken control of that area."

"It seems that the 20th Division is in great danger. Colonel, please listen to my advice. Let's flee from here immediately. The farther the better."

Yamamoto Ikki was a little shaken.

But he was not willing to leave just like that.

Although he was afraid of Zheng Kaixuan, he was always thinking about seeking revenge on Zheng Kaixuan!

"No! Yokoyama-kun, even if the Kawagishi Division has been destroyed, we can still act according to the plan previously set by Commander Shinozuka."

"We can follow the western part of Hebei, heading south to the Yellow River, then west to the Jiuli Mountains. By then, the locust army will have gathered in Jiuli, and we can still kill Zheng Kaixuan."

"Jingle Bell......"

Before Yamamoto Ikki finished speaking, the phone rang quickly.

"Colonel, something bad has happened!"
