Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Guard Li Dazhuang asked, touching his head.

"Do you know about the fire at Bowangpo?"

Li Dazhuang shook his head.

Shen Quan sighed, looked at Zhou Daye and said, "Political Commissar, from now on all cadres in our column must read for an hour every day!"

Zhou Daye smiled and nodded: "Are you going to set a fire?"

"It's the end of June now. There's been very little rain this year, and many rivers have dried up. If we don't set a fire, we'd be doing a disservice to the Japanese hiding in the dense forests in the mountains!"

1942 was a year of disasters in China. Apart from the severe drought in Henan Province, the situation in other provinces was not much better. The drought made many areas flammable and explosive. A random torch could set a mountain on fire.

"Are you ready?"

Zhou Daye nodded: "It's ready, it can be released at any time!"

"Then let's set it on fire, and then leave a gap for the Japs to rush out. A cavalry regiment has a lot of good horses and tanks, which are all rare items. We should seize them if we can, and burn them all if we can't!"

Before, Shen Quan’s pursuit for war horses was the more the better. Now, Shen Quan not only requires more, but also better ones. For example, the big red horse under Shen Quan is a rare and valuable Arabian horse.

"Okay, I'll give the signal!"

Zhou Daye took out a signal gun, pulled the trigger towards the sky, and a red signal flare rose into the sky.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers lying in ambush at the back of the valley were anxiously waiting for Shen Quan to enter the ambush.

"what is that?"

A Japanese soldier was about to go to the toilet when he turned around and saw a red flare exploding in the air behind him.

"Flare!"

"Who fired a flare in broad daylight?"

"Shen Quan, it's Shen Quan's troops, we are surrounded by them!"

A Japanese soldier suddenly shouted in horror. The red flare was the sign before Shen Quan's troops launched an attack. Many sneak attacks and ambushes were preceded by red flares, and then Shen Quan's troops emerged from all directions.

Meanwhile, on a distant road, the brigade commander was hurrying along with his men. Seeing the red flare launch into the sky, he frowned and said, "There seems to be something going on over there. Let's go check it out!"

……

……

……

I still owe you 18 more chapters. To answer someone's previous comments about MiG Alley, the Russian Air Force didn't move at all until we won the first battle. After we crossed the 38th parallel, they didn't cross the 38th parallel to help us. It wasn't until we won three battles and saw we were doomed to victory that they came to help us. That little bit of aid was just icing on the cake after we had gained the upper hand! ~

Chapter 442: Burning the Japs

After the signal flare was launched, the Japanese soldiers looked around in panic, but found no trace of Shen Quan's troops.

"on fire!"

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier pointed his finger at an area at the foot of the mountain and shouted. Then, flames appeared in more and more places. After the hillside, which had been dry for several months, was ignited, the fire spread rapidly.

"Which Chinese troops are setting fire?"

"There's a fire here too!"

"..."

At the headquarters of the Japanese 14th Regiment, Kengo Noda heard the commotion outside and couldn't help but frown. They had ambushed Shen Quan on both sides of the valley, intending to catch him off guard, but this group of people had actually made such a loud noise.

"what happened……"

Before Noda Kengo could finish his words, a soldier rushed in and said, "Oh no, Your Excellency, the Chinese are setting fire at the foot of the mountain, and the fire has spread!"

A soldier from the regiment hurried into the command center, gasping for breath.

"set fire?"

When Kengo Noda rushed out of the command center, he saw thick smoke billowing at the foot of the mountain and the fire had spread.

At this moment, several shells fell on the hillside. There was no explosion, only some unidentified objects splashed out. Then, the surroundings were instantly ignited and the flames began to spread in all directions.

These shells were just the beginning. Soon, more shells fell on the place where the Japanese were hiding. Fires suddenly broke out in many places on the mountain, and fires began to appear everywhere.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire!"

"Extinguishing!"

"..."

When Noda Kengo saw this, he knew his ambush plan had been exposed. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Order a retreat!"

"Hayi!"

"Retreat immediately!"

"retreat!"

Soon, a group of Japanese soldiers began to move to the west where the fire was less intense. However, during the movement, incendiary bombs continued to fall around the Japanese soldiers, setting everything on fire.

The Japanese soldiers who had been retreating in an orderly manner began to become panic-stricken. Some of them were even running forward desperately, trying to get out of the sea of ​​fire as soon as possible.

"Don't panic, retreat in formation!"

"Don't run around!"

"keep the order!"

Although the Japanese officers were also very panicked at this time, they still tried to remain calm.

"Order the tank brigade to clear the way, carve out a path, and charge out!"

Kengo Noda looked at the spreading fire and gave orders again.

The combination of incendiary bombs and dry trees on the mountain made the fire on the entire mountain almost out of control. If he didn't rush out, his troops would be in complete chaos.

"Hayi!"

Soon, the camouflaged Japanese tanks rushed down the hillside, followed by a group of Japanese soldiers.

Outside the fire scene, the soldiers of the Chahar Column did not panic when they saw the Japanese tanks moving out, but quickly organized their men to prepare for an ambush. The soldiers of the bazooka squad carried bazookas and waited for the Japanese tanks to rush out of the fire scene.

More than a dozen tanks charged together, indeed creating a temporarily passable path, and a group of Japanese soldiers followed behind them and rushed out of the fire. However, before these Japanese soldiers had time to catch their breath, more than a dozen rockets flew towards these Japanese tanks.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom……"

A series of explosions rang out, and the Japanese tanks that had just rushed out of the sea of ​​fire instantly turned into a ball of torches. The Japanese soldiers who followed the tanks out of the sea of ​​fire were just celebrating their survival when they saw the tanks in front of them being destroyed.

Some unlucky Japanese soldiers were hit by parts of the tanks and went directly to meet their Amaterasu.

At this moment, a fierce burst of gunfire rang out, and the group of Japanese soldiers who had just escaped fell down in groups in an instant.

They wanted to run towards the sea of ​​fire behind them, but more and more Japanese soldiers rushed out from behind them.

"Don't go forward, there is an ambush ahead."

"Back off, back off!"

These devils ran backwards while shouting, but it was of no use. The devils in the sea of ​​fire didn't hear what they were shouting at all, and just kept running for their lives.

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

Gunfire rang out continuously, and one after another, the Japanese were shot dead. Incendiary bombs fell around these dead Japanese, and their bodies became the best fuel, blocking the escape route that the Japanese tanks had crushed.

At this time, the Japanese also realized that they could not get out of this road. The three sides of the mountain were on fire, and only the valley where they were planning to ambush was without fire. The Japanese on both sides of the valley rushed towards the valley desperately.

"Watch out for mines, watch out for mines!"

At this time, a Japanese officer reacted. In order to ambush Shen Quan's troops, they buried a lot of mines on both sides of the mountain road and explosives in the middle of the road.

Explosives are fine; they won't explode without a lit fuse. But the mines planted on both sides of the road will explode if stepped on. The Japanese plan was to wait for the Shenquan troops to step on the mines when they were ambushed and chose to retaliate, and then they would take advantage of the moment they stepped on the mines to launch a counterattack.

But now, these mines have become obstacles for the Japanese soldiers.

"Sappers, engineers, remove the mines!"

Some Japanese soldiers shouted loudly, wanting the Japanese soldiers who buried the mines to dig out the mines.

But now they couldn't find the engineers at all, and more and more Japanese soldiers were rushing towards them from behind.

"Onboard!"

One of the Japanese soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore, roared, and rushed towards the minefield in front.

The Japanese soldier gritted his teeth and rushed out, almost with his eyes closed. But when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had successfully stood in the valley without stepping on the mine.

"I'm still alive, I'm still alive!"

The Japanese soldier shouted excitedly, and when the other Japanese soldiers saw this, they followed suit.

"Onboard!"

"Onboard!"

"Long live His Majesty the Heavenly Locust!"

"May Amaterasu bless you!"

One by one, the Japanese soldiers shouted "Onboard" to cheer themselves up.

"boom!"

A Japanese soldier who shouted "Long live His Majesty Tianhuang" had just rushed out for a distance when he stepped on a landmine and was instantly blown to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, another Japanese soldier stepped on a landmine.

Although the Japanese had buried a lot of mines, they needed to be spread across the entire hillside. After more than a dozen Japanese stepped on mines, they finally found a safe path down the mountain and rushed to the bottom of the valley.

The valley runs east-west. After arriving at the valley, there are two paths left for the Japanese. In the end, Kengo Noda chose to retreat from the east side and led his troops to flee in a panic to the east side of the valley.

"Report, the Japs are fleeing eastward!"

After receiving the news, Shen Quan smiled and reached out to take the watch off Zhou Daye's hand: "Old Zhou, I was right, the Japanese must be fleeing eastward. The watch is mine!"

Zhou Daye rolled his eyes at Shen Quan and said, "What do you need so many watches for? They're not accurate anyway."
