Zhang Jueming warmly welcomed Yang Yue's arrival.

Zhang Jueming didn't know much about the war in Yangquan. Because there was no radio station, the information contact was naturally not smooth.

Yang Yue did not introduce too much to avoid being suspected of showing off his credit.

He simply said that Yangquan has conquered it.

Even so, Zhang Jueming was already shocked enough.

Yangquan has been taken down?

So fast?

It feels incredible!

He is very clear about the level of the 701 Group.

The three regiments of 701, 704, and 705 were all established together. The weapons and personnel quality were almost the same.

Even the regiment commanders were almost randomly dispatched. The three of them just chose one regiment by themselves. From this we can see that the level of the three regiments is really no different. Why did they conquer Yangquan?

Can't figure it out.

Yang Yue didn't explain either.

He is here to fight, not to receive praise.

Zhang Jueming naturally refused everyone.

What he needs most now is a sharp knife.

The Japanese army's defense at Jingxing Coal Mine was a bit like ketchup, soft and extremely sticky.

On the surface, the Japanese army did not have many defenses. There were only a few people in the scattered stars. However, when the Eighth Route Army wanted to advance inside, they would always be shot by cold guns, causing great sacrifice.

Zhang Jueming was reluctant to sacrifice so many soldiers, and he did not find an effective solution. He could only use mortars to bombard the core mining area.

However, a simple mortar cannot solve the problem! In the end, it will still be occupied by infantry.

Yang Yue saw from a distance that there was a platoon of Eighth Route Army soldiers trying to occupy a small hill in front of them in an evacuated formation.

It is called a small hill, but it is actually made of cinders. It is black and has a relative height of less than 30 meters. It happens to be the commanding height of a surrounding area and a place that military strategists must fight for.

"boom……"

"boom……"

The mortar landed accurately on the hillside, causing a large amount of cinder.

The cinder is soft and is immediately crushed by shells, and then it flies everywhere. However, it also absorbs most of the shock wave and lethality.

In other words, these cinders are the same as beaches. They can greatly offset the effects of shells.

Even if you have infinite shells that can be bombarded, it is just overturning the cinder over and over again. But you cannot annihilate it.

A very small number of Japanese soldiers hid in the cinder and shot quietly.

"Pu hook!"

"Pu hook!"

The gunshots are very sharp.

Accompanied by the Japanese shooting, the advancement of the Eighth Route Army soldiers continued to fall.

The bullets were shot from the hills. But it was difficult to determine the location of the Japanese. Because they were all hidden in the cinder, they were all black.

To be tenacious, brave, patient, persevering, and fearless... the Japanese infantry can do it.

In fact, some elite Japanese soldiers have stronger endurance than the Eighth Route Army.

They were hiding in the cinder, and you can imagine how uncomfortable they felt.

They may not be able to breathe.

They may be buried alive by cinders at any time, suffocating and deadly.

But the Japanese did it.

They fired coldly, killing more and more Eighth Route Army soldiers.

In the end, Zhang Jueming had no choice but to send out a signal flare helplessly and order the remaining Eighth Route Army soldiers to withdraw. After a little counting the number of people, fifteen of them had already been sacrificed.

"Look..."

Zhang Jueming spread his hands helplessly.

This is the difficult Japanese they encountered. There are not many people and they are extremely lethal.

When the two sides compete for gunfire, the Eighth Route Army is definitely not the opponent of the Japanese. Because the Japanese's sperm shooters are fed with time and bullets. The Eighth Route Army has no such conditions at all.

"The Japanese's shooting skills are good."

"It's good for them to hide."

"It's a veteran at first glance."

"All old Japanese devils, rich in experience."

"It's not easy to deal with."

Huang Kehong, Sun Desheng, Lao Bai, Lao Cai and others all raised their telescopes to observe.

The experience they summarized was that those Japanese sci-shooters were outstanding. Not only were they accurate in shooting skills, but they also had high hidden skills. At the same time, their patience was also very terrible.

To be honest, if it were the Eighth Route Army itself, it might not have been able to hide in the cinder for that long.

It should be known that cinders will penetrate into human internal organs and are irreversible damage. The Japanese do this and they will be completely desperate.

Even if they are not killed for the time being, in the future, they will have difficulty breathing due to too much coal ash soaked in their lungs, and eventually they will gradually be unable to breathe and then die.

In later professional terms, this is pneumoconiosis.

The Japanese did not take pneumoconiosis seriously at all, which shows how brave the Japanese were.

It's really hard to fight against such an enemy!

In addition to the fearless Japanese, the terrain of Jingxing Coal Mine is also very unfriendly.

The terrain of Jingxing Coal Mine is really very complicated.

There are traps everywhere here and mines everywhere. If you are not careful, you will collapse.

The Japanese will not take any security measures. Their purpose is to squeeze out the maximum profit. Any place may be fatal.

For example...

A shell falls and may collapse.

Why?

Because there are abandoned mines below!

An explosion may also cause the collapse of cinder and bury people alive.

Don't look at the height of those cinders piled up to only thirty or forty meters, about ten floors. However, if they collapse, it will only take a few minutes to suffocate people.

There are many crumbling derricks...

And messy wires...

There are also drainage ditches that are horizontal and vertical...

Those drains appear to be fine on the surface, and stepping in with one foot may flood your neck...

Those are soft coal ash. They can "eat people" and buried alive.

At the same time, the external environment of Jingxing Coal Mine is not good.

Strictly speaking, Jingxing Coal Mine is not on the railway line. However, it is very close to the railway line.

Near Jingxing Coal Mine is the famous Jingxing Pass. When the Japanese invaded, the Chinese army once fought against the Japanese invaders here. Unfortunately, they were defeated in the end.

The Japanese artillery fire was very powerful, and the support of aircraft and tanks was not an opponent at all.

Now, Jingxing Pass is firmly controlled by the Japanese.

Therefore, one thing you need to pay attention to when attacking Jingxing coal mines is that the Jingxing Pass defenders dispatched reinforcements.

The Japanese army had a corps stationed near Jingxing Pass to ensure this strategic point. They could send one or two brigades to reinforce Jingxing Coal Mine at any time.

Of course, the Eighth Route Army also had troops to monitor Jingxing Pass. If the Japanese army from Jingxing Pass dispatched reinforcements, Zhang Jueming would receive a report immediately and then withdraw from the battle. Let the Japanese army lose all the money.

"Captain Zhang, I have a suggestion." Yang Yue said slowly.
Chapter completed!
