Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

The former was a famous firearms expert in the original time and space, and the famous **-type carbine was designed by him. The latter was a chemical expert in the arsenal and the soul of gunpowder in the Taiyuan Arsenal. He disappeared in the original time and space, and was unexpectedly taken to the Northeast by the Japanese army.

Zeng Jiwen immediately felt like he had found a treasure, and immediately agreed to let the two of them start directing everyone to start transportation and dismantling.

The people from the various local regiments that accompanied them began to dismantle the equipment with various carrying tools, placed it on carts pulled by various horses and mules, and then began to evacuate along the original route.

In the direction of Chengjia Station, when the soldiers of the 389th Brigade intercepted the train, they were dazzled by the artillery guns, weapons and ammunition the moment they opened the box. They excitedly pushed wheelbarrows, or carried shoulder poles and led donkeys to start transporting the goods.

In less than four hours, all the equipment and supplies were moved away by people from various local groups.

As soon as the Zhengtai Line was attacked, Jinzhong and Yangquan received the news that Shouyang and Niangzi Pass were attacked by the Chinese army.

At the same time, all telephones at various locations along the way were out of reach.

The commander of the 20th Division in Yangquan, Ushijima Sanetsugu, instantly understood why the Eighth Route Army launched offensives in both the north and the south within one day, and immediately told the news to Taiyuan.

In Taiyuan, Xiangyue Qingji was awakened again. The moment he was awakened, he suddenly realized something. Then, looking at the guard's anxious face, he knew that his previous guess had come true.

After receiving the specific information, Kozuki Seiji did not have time to think about it and immediately ordered the 5th Division to march back to Jinzhong. The remaining regiment in Jinzhong immediately reinforced Shouyang. The 20th Division immediately withdrew to reinforce the two regiments in the north and sent a brigade to reinforce the Jingxing area. Jingxing immediately sent troops to search the Yangquan area. The Eighth Route Army must be stopped from transporting equipment.

After Katsuki Seiji's order was issued, the entire Shota Line began to become lively. After the 782nd Regiment blocked an enemy regiment in the north of Yangquan and lured the Japanese army into the depths, it handed over the subsequent task to a regiment under the command of Division Commander Xu to contain the enemy. The entire regiment quietly returned to the vicinity of Yangquan. When Yangquan sent troops out of the city, they were ambushed by the 782nd Regiment and suffered heavy casualties.

Ushijima Mitsuki stood on the top of Yangquan City and watched the Eighth Route Army arrogantly ambush a battalion he had sent out outside the city. His face turned ashen and in the end he had no way to make the remaining troops withdraw into the city immediately.

After waiting for four hours, the 389th Brigade Command issued an advance retreat order to all units, and most of the Japanese troops began to return to the Zhengtai Railway to inspect the losses.

However, at this time, due to the hasty retreat of the 5th Division, only two artillery battalions were left behind, escorted by a squadron and slowly evacuated. The 781st Regiment quietly followed the two artillery battalions temporarily formed by the 5th Division, and called on the 16th and 17th Regiments of the 386th Brigade, and slowly formed an encirclement of the two artillery battalions.

After confirming that the 5th Division was 50 kilometers away from the artillery battalion, it quickly encircled and rushed towards the two retreating artillery battalions, almost completely annihilated the two artillery battalions of the 5th Division, seized almost all of the artillery, and then left only 6 mountain cannons with 120 artillery shells to march towards Jinzhong, and let the 16th and 17th Regiments take these artillery and retreat to Wuxiang along the mountainous area.

When the 5th Division had just retreated to Jinzhong, Itagaki Seishirō received the news that his artillery battalion had been completely wiped out. He was so angry that his face turned pale. Without time to think, he could only reinforce Shouyang as soon as possible.

After all the Japanese troops in Yangquan withdrew, Ushijima Mitsugu immediately assembled the troops of the two regiments and headed towards Niangzi Pass.
