Check in from the bright sword

After the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army succeeded in robbing the cargo column of the Independent Regiment, its equipment level has risen to a big level. The entire brigade is equipped with more than 300 light and heavy machine guns!

There are more than 200 grenades!

If artillery and tanks are not considered, the firepower of the 386 brigade was equivalent to that of a division of the Japanese army at that time!

A three-unit field division of the Japanese army, under normal circumstances, is nothing more than 144 Type 216 heavy machine guns, 216 crooked light machine guns, plus 386 grenade grenades. A three-single field division is no less impressive.

But now, the firepower of the 386 brigade is even more brutal.

In the First World War in Taiyuan, the 386 Brigade captured more than 500 light and heavy machine guns!

Therefore, the 386 brigade now has more than 800 light and heavy machine guns, with an average of one machine gun for every 10 people. This level of firepower is almost three times that of a field division of the Japanese army!

There are also more than 400 grenades!

In order to wipe out the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army in the shortest possible time, the brigade commander took out all the spare weapons and equipment and temporarily strengthened them to the three main brigades.

Enough ammo!

The Japanese 9th Brigade was eager to rush back to Taiyuan, but was caught off guard and completely entered the ambush circle.

So that scene is really a word, cool!The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is really cool this time!

More than 800 light machine guns and more than 400 grenades were deployed on both sides of the road with a length of more than 3 kilometers, and the devils marching in four-way columns on the road opened fire!

Those bullets and grenades really fell like a torrential rain!

Under the cover of such dense fire forks, the 9th Brigade could not find a hiding place at all.

Although the devils of the 9th Brigade were well-educated and quick to respond, they immediately knelt on one knee or lay down on the spot, trying to raise their guns to fight back against the Eighth Route Army.

However it was of no use.

Under the attack of bullets like torrential rain.

Under the attack of grenade like hail.

The devils of the 9th Brigade were knocked down row by row and blown up piece by piece.

Yoshino Naokiyo was lucky, and escaped the first wave of fire attack.

Then a truck ran out of control and collided with the truck that Yoshino Naoki was riding in.

The two cars collided, but they formed an angle, which provided Yoshino Naoki with a narrow shelter.

Yoshino Naoki poked his head out and glanced, only to see that the entire valley was completely covered by jets of machine gun fire, and looking at the top of his head, it was also covered with grenade trails.

There are even shells for mortars and mountain artillery.

One of the shells landed near them.

The huge air wave nearly overturned both trucks.

Yoshino Naoki lay down on the ground again, looking around through the gap between the truck and the ground.

It was found that few imperial soldiers of the 36th Brigade of the Independent Infantry could still squat, and most of them had already lay down.

The 36th Brigade of the Independent Infantry is like this, and the situation of the other three infantry brigades can be imagined. Suddenly, an unspeakable despair passed through Yoshino's heart.

It's over, the 9th Brigade is completely over!

After tonight, the number of the 9th Brigade is likely to be revoked!

And he, Yoshino Naokiyoshi, will also be nailed to the shame of history as the last brigade leader of the 9th Brigade, even though his brigade leader is only an agent.

With a sigh, Yoshino Naokiyo said to the signal soldier beside him: "Farewell telegram!"

With a cry of Hay, the correspondent took out his notebook and pen, and got ready to take notes.

Naokiyoshi Yoshino brewed his emotions for a while, and said sadly: "North China Front Army Command: My independent and mixed 9th Brigade was ambushed by a large group of Eighth Route Army near Changning Town."

"The firepower of the Eighth Route Army is so brutal that it is outrageous."

"A conservative estimate is that there are at least a thousand light and heavy machine guns."

"My 9th Brigade is crowded on the road, and it is difficult to organize an effective counterattack."

Before the words were finished, a dazzling tongue of flame suddenly hit the rear of the truck, penetrating through the gap in the steel plate and hitting Yoshino Naokiyo.

No. 11 Iron Lion Alley, Beiping, North China Front Army Headquarters.

There was silence in the war room, and everyone, including Neiji Okamura, looked solemn.

Only the voice of Chief of Staff Miyano Doichi echoed in the war room: "Lieutenant Yoshino Naoki was unfortunately shot just now, and the jade was broken on the spot. The following telegram will be delivered by Noda Masaaki, Lieutenant and Adjutant of the Battalion Department."

"The firepower of the Eighth Route Army was even more urgent, and the shells were like summer hail."

"The 9th Brigade has no hope of breaking through, and can only serve the empire with death."

"I hope that the Front Army Command will notify the divisions and brigades of the follow-up assistance as soon as possible."

"Be sure to be vigilant on the road, and don't make the same mistakes as my 9th Brigade, absolutely."

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army, onboard! The Great Japanese Empire, onboard! His Majesty the Emperor, onboard! On June 17, Showa 6, farewell at Changning Town, Shanxi, China!"

After Miyano Michiichi finished his recitation, the entire war room fell into deathly silence.

Including Neiji Okamura, everyone is still in a state of great shock, or in a state of bewilderment.

Because the reaction of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was completely beyond their expectations. They never thought that the 386th Brigade would dare to take the initiative to attack the 9th Brigade at this time!

At this time, the main force of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi returned to aid.

At this time when the two divisions of Datong and Zhengding and another brigade are making large-scale reinforcements.

The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army didn't want to escape earlier, and didn't want to escape as far as possible, so they actually took the initiative to attack?How dare you go to Changning Town to ambush the 9th Brigade?

Who gave them the guts?

How dare they?How dare they? !

Thinking about it, Neiji Okamura roared loudly: "How dare you? How dare they?!"

Neiji Okamura's roar contained shock and anger, but more guilt.

At this moment, the old devil felt deep self-blame and guilt!It's all his fault!

It was he who underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army and the courage of the commanders of the Eighth Route Army, so that the 9th Brigade suffered a catastrophe!It's all his fault!his fault!
