two days ago.

On the outskirts of Yangquan.

Outside the Sakata Regiment's temporary command post, a dusty and disheveled Japanese soldier was squatting outside, leading a horse and breathing heavily.

This Japanese soldier was none other than the lieutenant in the transport battalion of the 109th Regiment of the 136th Division of the Japanese Army: Koxiong Ishikawa.

He was the Japanese officer who kept reminding the Japanese baggage transport captain along the way, but all his suggestions were not adopted.

At that time, Ishikawa Koxiong was very disappointed with the Japanese transport captain. He felt that he was too careless and would definitely be ambushed and suffer a great loss.

So he was careful when marching. He rode his warhorse and quietly slipped to the back of the team and mixed in with the infantry.

As soon as the ambush of the Fourth Battalion started, Ishikawa Xiaoxiong immediately turned over and hid under the horse's belly, holding the warhorse tightly. After being frightened by the artillery fire, the warhorse took him out of the siege, and Ishikawa was lucky enough to save his life.

Ishikawa did not dare to go back. He ran eastward for more than ten miles from Heiyunkou, and then rode his warhorse to the Yangquan area in the northeast.

He knew that the Sakata Regiment of the Independent 4th Brigade was currently stationed here.

He had also suggested to the transport captain that he wanted to join the Sakata Regiment in passing through Heiyunkou.

"Ishikawa-kun, Captain Sakata wants to see you."

Ishikawa followed a Japanese communicator to the headquarters and met Sakata, an old Japanese soldier with a white beard.

Sakata was in his fifties or sixties, but his eyes were bright and sharp, not much different from a wolfdog's, revealing a fierceness.

"Ishikawa-kun, are you saying that your 136th Regiment's transport team encountered an ambush by the Eighth Route Army at Heiyunkou?"

Ishikawa didn't dare to look at Sakata and quickly lowered his head.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain, please send troops to rescue us as soon as possible."

Ishikawa actually still held a glimmer of hope for the transport team.

Although he didn't dare to go back, he subconsciously believed that even if the transport team was ambushed, they would not be wiped out.

At least they should have no problem holding on for half a day.

This half day is enough time for the Sakata Regiment to send troops for support.

Sakata reached out and slammed the table, scaring Ishikawa so much that he almost peed his pants.

"Useless! You are such a bunch of useless people! I've never heard of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Heiyunkou area. Your entire transport brigade was ambushed by guerrillas and the Eighth Route Army. This is a great shame for the Locust Army!"

"If it weren't for my friendship with your captain, Sato-kun, I would definitely ignore you losers."

As he spoke, Sakata sent out several Japanese scouts to the battlefield on horseback to investigate the situation. He himself planned to lead a large force to Heiyunkou and rescue the waste transport brigade of the 136th Regiment.

A few hours later, a Japanese scout carrying a radio reported the situation in the Heiyunkou area to Sakata.

The Japanese supply transport battalion of the 136th Regiment was completely wiped out!

At the scene, they found dozens of empty Japanese military trucks abandoned and blocking the loess road.

Large patches of blood were found on the snow on the ground.

Thousands of Japanese corpses were found buried in loose soil in the trenches on both sides of the road!

Sakata was shocked when he heard the news.

"An entire transport brigade was wiped out. Could it be that the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army reached Heiyunkou? Investigate! Find out immediately!"

Since the transport team was gone, Sakata was no longer in a hurry to go to Heiyunkou.

He had deep doubts about how many Eighth Route Army troops were there in Heiyunkou.

As an expert on China, the old devil Sakata had read Chinese military books thoroughly. He knew very well that the key to using troops was to know both yourself and the enemy. Only in this way could one win every battle.

The Japanese soldiers of the Sakata Regiment spent more than a whole day capturing many people from nearby to gather information.

After much inquiry, Sakata finally confirmed that it was the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that launched the ambush at Heiyunkou.

Sakata also personally sent a telegram to Sato, the commander of the 109th Regiment of the 136th Division.

You wouldn't know this until you called, and Sakata was shocked after the call.

He got more accurate information from Sato that several main regiments of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division of the Eighth Route Army were still fighting fiercely with Sato's regiment in Xiyang, and the battle had now entered a stalemate.

Among these main regiments, there is the New 1st Regiment led by Li Yunlong!

Sakata was a little confused.

"Could this new group know how to clone themselves?"

After detailed investigation, Sakata was finally shocked.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army's New 1st Regiment left Heiyunkou several months ago!

And the one who stayed in Heiyunkou to ambush the Japanese supply train was actually only one battalion of the New 1st Regiment, the 4th Battalion!

"Why is the combat effectiveness of this Fourth Battalion so terrifying!"

The old devil Sakata was very surprised!

No wonder Sakata was so surprised.

The Sakata Regiment he led once participated in the Battle of Xinkou. In that battle, the Sakata Regiment alone defeated more than 20,000 people from two reorganized divisions of the National Army.

At the end of the battle, the Chinese casualties reached over 100,000, while the Japanese casualties were only over 20,000.

However, the 136th Battalion of the Eighth Route Army in Heiyunkou, with only one battalion of troops, actually wiped out the -man transport brigade of the th Regiment!

How many people can a battalion have? At most, there are only about 500 people.

Although the Fourth Battalion did not destroy the main force of the Japanese or the Japanese combat troops, the casualty ratio was enough to surprise Sakata.

"Who is this commander of the Fourth Battalion? Is he famous?"

"The commander of the New 1st Regiment's Fourth Battalion is said to be Zheng Kaixuan. He seems to have graduated from some military academy. I don't know much else. No information is available..."

"Zheng, Kai, Xuan."

Sakata pronounced the name word by word.

"This Fourth Battalion Commander, Zheng Kaixuan, is no ordinary person. We cannot allow him to continue to develop his power. Gather the troops immediately and head to Heiyunkou to conduct a sweep! Destroy the Fourth Battalion!"

Black Cloud Mouth.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, the Sakata Regiment has set off and is expected to arrive at Heiyunkou within ten hours."

A guard ran to Zheng Kaixuan to deliver a letter.

"Okay, I know."

Zheng Kai turned around and looked at the soldiers from the Fourth Battalion beside him.

"Brothers, hurry up, the Japs are almost here."

Zheng Kaixuan, who was coughing, was leading the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion to dig trenches and set up positions near Heiyunkou.

He has decided to use Heiyunkou as a battlefield again.

This time, the Fourth Battalion must fight a decisive battle with the Sakata Regiment at Heiyunkou. They must firmly block the Japanese outside Heiyunkou and never let them move west or south!
