The attack team withdrew from the Baijin Railway before dawn.

Over the course of one night, at least ten kilometers of rails were overturned and torn off the more than 300 kilometers of railway lines that the Japanese army had worked so hard to manage.

Guanshan Town, located between Taihang and Taiyue, was even attacked by the independent group. More than 1,000 workers were rescued, and a large amount of supplies and more than 2,000 boxes of explosives were seized.

The Eighth Route Army also violently attacked Japanese strongholds such as Qin County, Guyi, Quandian, and Nanguan along the railway line.

The Dongyang stronghold was completely taken over by the Independent Regiment, and all the Japanese in the stronghold were killed.

The New 2nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade captured the Liujiazhuang stronghold and annihilated more than 40 Japanese soldiers and more than 60 puppet soldiers.

With the cooperation of the masses, various road-breaking units overturned trains, moved rails, burned sleepers, and broke the roadbed, completely destroying the Baijin Railway.

The next day, Japanese and puppet troops from Taigu, Laiyuan, Quandian, Qinxian and other places were dispatched in an attempt to stop the Eighth Route Army from breaking the road.

Enemy reinforcements from all walks of life were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. They hurriedly retreated to the county town, preparing to reorganize their forces for a counterattack.

The Japanese along the railway were also busy organizing engineers and workers to repair the railway.

At night, the units of the 129th Division began to take action again, this time with greater momentum.

Because the independent group seized a large amount of explosives in Guanshan Town last night, most of the explosives were used tonight.

With loud bangs, all the bridges along the railway were blown up.

Use the explosives seized from the Japanese to blow up the Japanese fortifications. Not to mention how exciting it is.

Tonight, the various strongholds along the railway were particularly lively, and the main forces concentrated their forces to attack the strongholds.

All units of the Eighth Route Army used the new weapon thunder cannon. This was also the first time that this weapon was used on a large scale.

Nie Wei, commander of the division's engineering company, learned how to use the thunder cannon from Wei Dayong, and then taught it to the soldiers of the engineering company when he returned.

All major main force regiments specially sent people to the division headquarters engineer company to learn how to use flying thunder cannons.

Especially Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa, after receiving the order from the division headquarters for each regiment to learn flying thunder cannons, they shouted that they had been fooled by Li Yunlong.

Improved extra-large explosive packages were dropped from the launch tube near the bunkers and gun towers in the Japanese stronghold.

The soldiers only heard a loud noise, and when the smoke cleared, they saw that the bunker or gun tower had been razed to the ground.

When the soldiers rushed into the stronghold and eliminated the enemy, they were stunned to see the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were shocked to death.

Not all units are as large as the independent regiment, with two artillery companies, a mountain gun and an infantry gun.

For example, Kong Jie's New Second Regiment only had one mortar platoon, with a total of 2 mortars, and a serious shortage of shells.

Mortars can hit turrets made of masonry, but they cannot deal with bunkers made of reinforced concrete.

The emergence of flying thunder cannons has largely filled the gap of the current shortage of artillery in the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, flying thunder cannons, a powerful weapon for attacking fortresses, can even blow up city walls, let alone Japanese strongholds.

After last night's trial attack, each attacking force has figured out the firepower layout of the stronghold.

In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops had no idea that the Eighth Route Army was using new weapons.

Most of the strongholds along the railway were captured by the Eighth Route Army with the assistance of flying thunder artillery, and each attacking force gained considerable gains.

At the same time, Li Yunlong also received a new combat mission from the brigade headquarters: to lead his troops to the Yushe area to block the Japanese and puppet troops from Yushe County who were reinforcing the Baijin Railway.

After receiving the order, Li Yunlong immediately ordered all battalions to assemble and called the five main battalion commanders to the regiment headquarters for a small meeting to issue combat missions.

After the day's rest and good food and drink, not only the soldiers were energetic, but also several battalion commanders were also very energetic.

Looking at the elite soldiers and generals under his command, as well as his substantial family fortune, Li Yunlong was so happy that he didn't know which leg to take.

However, now is not the time to have fun, the task must be completed first.

Wei Dayong, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao, Guan Dashan, all five battalion commanders were present.

Li Yunlong said directly: "Comrades, after receiving orders from superiors, the Japanese and puppet troops in Yushe County are preparing to reinforce the Baijin Railway!"

"The mission of our department is to go to the Yushe area to find fighter planes and block the enemy!"

"The Japanese troops in Yushe County include a Japanese brigade, a military police brigade, and a brigade of puppet troops!"

"The total number of people adds up to close to 1,500 people. It is conservatively estimated that the enemy will dispatch at least 1,000 people this time!"

"Although the enemy is very powerful, our independent group is not a vegetarian!"

"For our independent regiment, I don't regard it as a blocking war!"

"What should we take it to be? Consider it a war of annihilation!"

"We can't do anything about the Japanese hiding in the county town, but when they go out into the wild, they'll be the meat of our mouths!"

"Do you have the confidence to eat this piece of fat?"

The five battalion commanders shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Zhao Gang said: "Time is urgent, so I will not do pre-war mobilization. Everyone will get ready as soon as possible when we go back and set off on time at seven o'clock in the evening."

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Then, the battalion commanders walked out, with Wei Dayong deliberately walking at the back.

After Zhao Gang and other battalion commanders walked out of the yard, Wei Dayong returned to the regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong was wearing a leash and asked: "Is something wrong?"

Wei Dayong looked through the window, bowed and looked out of the yard. He made sure that Zhao Gang and several battalion commanders were gone before turning back.

Li Yunlong said: "What are you doing, kid? Instead of going back to Lijiacun to prepare, you are sneaking around here, trying to make others see you. You think I am doing something shameful with you in the house."

Wei Dayong: "Captain, I don't like that."

Li Yunlong asked: "Which mouth?"

Wei Dayong: "Captain, let's not talk about this first. I have a bold idea."

Li Yunlong's expression changed and he asked: "What do you think?"

Wei Dayong: "Attack the county seat."

"What?" Li Yunlong lost his voice, "Attack the county seat? Are you crazy?"

Wei Dayong: "Captain, I'm not crazy."

Li Yunlong: "If you are not crazy, you still want to attack the county town. If we attack the county town with such a small force, wouldn't it be like lighting lanterns in the latrine and seeking death?"

Wei Dayong: "Commander, didn't you say that if you were given a division, you would dare to attack Taiyuan? Why would you not dare to attack the county seat with a regiment?"

Li Yunlong said happily: "I've been bragging for a while, but you guys still take it seriously?"

Wei Dayong asked: "Captain, you have just been robbed of more than 100,000 kilograms of supplies and more than 1,500 boxes of explosives by the brigade commander. Don't you want to make another fortune from the Japanese?"

Seeing that Wei Dayong looked serious and didn't look like he was joking, Li Yunlong's expression gradually became serious.

"Did you come up with some weird idea again?" Li Yunlong said, "Tell me in detail."

Wei Dayong pointed at the map and said: "Commander, look, the Japs in Yushe County sent troops to reinforce the Baijin Railway. Why don't we take advantage of the lack of troops in Yushe County and take the opportunity to recover Yushe County. Yushe County was used by the Japanese army as food and ammunition.

The transit base is operated with plenty of food, ammunition, and supplies!"
