Chapter 671 The Power of the Elm Cannon

My family knows his own affairs. Although the troops brought this time were hundreds more than the Japanese, they did not have more weapons and equipment than the Japanese, let alone ammunition.

The key is that there are no defensive fortifications to prevent the Japanese infantry artillery... So, Commander Yu had a headache.

However, no matter how headaches are, it is absolutely impossible to let the Japanese pass over. He is still ready to fight the Japanese ambush.

Leader Yu and his team were located in an abandoned village on the west side of the railway, and there was a wasteland on the east side of the railway, without any obstruction.

The Japanese team came by walking, so they were delayed a lot of time. It was not that the Japanese didn’t want to drive here, but mainly because they were mobilized at the brigade level. They used too many cars at once and the Japanese couldn’t afford to consume them.

As for trains, let alone, how many trains are there on the entire railway line? It would be nice to have a few armored vehicles that patrol the railway back and forth. The key is that armored vehicles cannot transport so many soldiers, and they have to mobilize them to use the train...

As for dispatching trains... No one dares to build the Yellow River Railway Bridge in Zhengzhou when it was bombed, and the Pinghan Railway was not as important as the Jinpu Railway in the east. Especially the section from Shijiazhuang to the south is even less important.

Therefore, there are few trains that can be dispatched here, but the work of guarding the railway cannot be careless...

Thanks to my rabbit's intelligence department, Hu Yizhou knew how to arrange the Japanese train, so he launched an attack today.

In front, the Japanese reinforcements were still moving towards the north.

The captain of the Songshan brigade who was in charge of this reinforcement deliberately asked the Japanese guarding the bridge about the situation in the north when he was passing by the highway bridge. He learned that a small team of Japanese detachments had gone north to investigate the situation more than half an hour ago.

Captain Songshan, who learned about this situation, deliberately took the telescope and looked at the snow in the distance. It seemed that there were a series of footprints extending northward.

"Yaxi, you did a good job!" Captain Songshan patted the captain of the guard bridge team on the shoulder and encouraged him.

After encouraging his officers, Captain Songshan got on the co-pilot of the ammunition truck and continued on the bus.

The Japanese officers were equipped with military horses, but because riding a military horse seemed to easily attract bullets, few Japanese officers were riding. Between life and enjoyment, the Japanese made the choice of the Japanese.

More than half a large group of Japanese soldiers lined up in long queues, creaking towards the north. The oncoming north wind occasionally brought some snow foam to the face.

"Captain, the Japanese team is too sparse. According to our ambush area, we will have more than one squadron!" Sang Yongliang, who came over again, said anxiously.

"I can see, what's the solution? Should I hit it or fight it! Go and confirm again, are we ready for the elm cannon we buried? I will count on the elm cannon in the first wave of fighting the Japanese." Captain Yu said.

"I'll go see it now! Hum? Where did the friendly platoon go?" Sang Yongliang suddenly found that the corrections ahead were gone.

"Oh, the platoon leader of the correction said he would take their comrades to the southernmost end to help defend! I thought about it and agreed. That would be the focus of the Japanese offensive!" said Captain Yu.

"I said, but with the friendly platoon, our defensive pressure will be much smaller. I've seen the weapons of this platoon, tsk!" Sang Yongliang tsk.

"You bastard, don't scratch me, I don't have the ability! You want it, get it yourself!" Captain Yu knew what Sang Yongliang meant...

"Cruff, Cruff..." The Japanese team gradually entered the ambush area.

"Nani? What is that?" A Japanese soldier in the front found the scene of the Japanese squad that was shot dead, and even raised his nose and smelled it.

"Why don't you leave?" The Japanese who followed him hit him and wiped his eyes. After such a long march, the Japanese's eyes were also stimulated to tears.

"I found something was happening here!" the vanguard soldier explained immediately.

"Nani? Let's take a look... Baga, there are traces of battle here. Look, there are a few shells there!" The Japanese soldiers behind also saw the situation ahead.

"Ignite! Don't wait. When the cannon sounds, concentrate the firepower to wipe out the squadron!" Commander Yu stopped when he saw the Japanese, and knew that it would be impossible to include some more Japanese in the ambush area.

"Cha...Cha...She..." After receiving the order, an Eighth Route Army soldier with "foreign fire" in his arms lit the leads beside him.

"Swish..." The well-protected lead was burning rapidly, burning into the chamber of an elm cannon.

"Boom..." The elm cannon half buried in the soil has been covered in white with snow.

With the sound of a cannon, the cannon body shook violently, and the snow attached to the cannon was shaken down. At the same time, a large ball of black smoke appeared at the muzzle with the flames.

What appeared with the fire and black smoke was a large ball of iron nails, iron sand, broken iron sheets, broken porcelain sheets, date beard...

These things flew away from the muzzle under the huge thrust of the gunpowder, then gradually dispersed and flew towards the Japanese team at a rapid speed.

"Hu..." It seemed like a gust of wind blew through the Japanese team, but the things carried in the wind were a bit powerful, and they directly took away the lives of more than twenty Japanese.

Not only that, there were also a dozen Japanese wounded soldiers covered with various fragments left...

And this is just one of the elm cannons.

Sang Yongliang and the others prepared more than seventy such elm cannons.

It was impossible for more than 70 elm cannons to be released all at once. Sang Yongliang only ignited 30. These 30 elm cannons lined up, and the firepower shot was enough to cover the entire ambush area.

Therefore, with the sound of elm cannons, the Japanese squadron that entered the ambush was completely stopped. No matter how elite Japanese soldiers were, they could not stop the elm cannons from being shot at close range without bulletproof vests...

"Fight!" Commander Yu took out a big black star pistol and shot a wounded soldier.

"Ba...ba...ba..." Then a row of gunfire rang out.

Then, the Japanese in this squadron gave a thorough explanation...

"Good job! Sang Yongliang, your battalion left three companies to guard here, and the other companies went to guard the west and north entrances of the village!" said Captain Yu.

"yes!"

"Others, go to reinforce the south of the village!"

"yes!"

If the Japanese troops were not included in the ambush area, then the next time would be a defensive battle. As long as the Japanese reinforcements were held here for an hour, they could retreat.

Well, I just wiped out a squadron of the Japanese. This is a great victory. As long as I persist in the future, I will not be eliminated by the Japanese.
