Chapter 214 Japanese reinforcements
In a short period of time, the Japanese reinforcements could not reach us. The 14th Regiment of our division occupied Shidan Mountain and blocked the reinforcements of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Regiment. Li Yunlong looked solemn in the temporary command of the Independent Regiment.
In order to destroy the Japanese railway, station and surrounding road traffic as soon as possible, both the Independent Regiment battalions have been engaged in such work. In addition, the militias in the county brigade and district squads and organized people came to assist, thousands of people are busy demolishing the Japanese railway in this area.
But even though so many people did this, the speed of destroying the Japanese railway was not fast enough. Li Yunlong's eyes kept scanning the map, wanting to find other targets suitable for attack. In the end, Li Yunlong chose to give up. It was really because there were friendly troops around him. It was undoubtedly impossible for the Japanese strongholds to continue to stick with so many Eighth Route Army troops.
In the artillery company, Liu Gen and the artillery company soldiers were conducting regular training, and each soldier was very serious in training. This was especially true for the artillery company soldiers assigned to each company last night. They all understood why they could control the mortars to solve the Japanese strongholds as quickly as possible.
In order to ensure that the artillery company soldiers have enough physical strength to invest in the battle at any time, Liu Gen's efforts to train the soldiers were reduced a lot. With such a small force, the artillery company soldiers were quite unaccustomed to it. If Liu Gen had not forced them to do so, they might have taken the initiative to increase the training intensity.
A day passed, all the surrounding Japanese strongholds were controlled by the troops of the 129th Division, and the western section of the Japanese Zhengtai Road was paralyzed. Faced with the sudden attacks launched by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese in North China were not prepared, which made all the Japanese in various parts of them mobilized and attacked the Zhengtai Road.
On August 26, the Independent Regiment received an order from the division headquarters and took the initiative to attack the Japanese troops coming to the Zhengtai Railway to support it. The order was issued, and Li Yunlong could not see too much excitement on his face. He knew that the reinforcements of the various Japanese troops were about to arrive, and Li Yunlong could imagine how many battles the Independent Regiment would face next.
According to the information obtained by the division headquarters, the troops that the Japanese came to reinforce along Zhengtai Road include four infantry battalions of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army and three infantry battalions of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade. The furious North China Front Command is constantly drawing Japanese troops from various parts. This time, the actions of the Eighth Route Army caused too much damage to the Japanese army, which is unacceptable to the North China Front Army.
At the same time, the 36th, 37th and 41st divisions of the Japanese army in southern Shanxi were also preparing to head north to support the Japanese's battle on Zhengtai Road.
The next Japanese regiment needs to face should be the 9th Independence Brigade of the Japanese Army from Yuci. The Japanese that came to support had three infantry battalions, and they were not very strong in combat power. The only ones who came were infantry battalions, and our independent regiment might be able to eat him. Zhao Gang spoke.
Li Yunlong nodded. He knew that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade was naturally much worse than that of the elite Japanese army. These were all the Japanese garrison troops, and the equipment they equipped could not be compared with the elite troops. Moreover, the quality of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade was uneven and the combat effectiveness was not very strong.
Of course, even if you know that the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade is not strong in combat, Li Yunlong dares not look down on the slightest. He cannot be taken lightly when facing the Japanese.
Genzi, how about it? Can your artillery company kill the Japanese artillery in the shortest time? Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen and asked.
Liu Gen nodded vigorously and said with certainty: Regiment Commander, don’t worry, the artillery company will do its best to kill the Japanese artillery in the shortest time!
If you want to kill the Japanese Independent Integration and form an infantry battalion of the 9th Brigade, the artillery company needs to play an important enough role in it. Li Yunlong does not want to kill one Japanese Infantry Battalion, his independent regiment will be left here. As for killing the Japanese three infantry battalions at the same time, Li Yunlong never had such an idea. He did not have the appetite to fight like this, and he knew that he could not eat it.
Report to the brigade commander that our independent regiment wanted to eat meat and let the brothers have a sip of soup. Li Yunlong spoke.
Zhao Gang nodded. He knew what Li Yunlong meant. It was not a simple matter to kill the infantry battalion of the Independent Mixed Brigade. Once the Independent Regiment took action against one of the Japanese infantry battalions, the Japanese in other directions would definitely come to support him.
No matter how powerful the independent regiment is, it cannot confront so many Japanese devils at the same time. Now that I report to the brigade commander, I need to get the support of the brigade commander.
Lao Li, it seems that you really want to do a big shot this time! However, Lao Li, I want to remind you that there are many battles in the future, and we must prepare enough ammunition and medicine in advance. Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and said with a smile.
Li Yunlong nodded, and he naturally knew this. In the next battle, save ammunition as much as possible, and pay attention to collecting ammunition.
Our independent regiment has not much capital, so we can't pay all the capital in this battle. Even if we pay, we have to earn new capital! However, the artillery company does not need to save shells, and as long as there are shells, they can be shot directly, and don't save!
Yes! Liu Gen shouted seriously.
Two days later, the Independent Regiment left Xinzhuang and headed towards Yuci. The three battalions of the 9th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade were still on the way. Li Yunlong had no patience to wait for them to come, so he might as well find them directly and kill them! If these Japanese arrived successfully, it would be a bit troublesome.
After the Independent Regiment set out, the soldiers of the Cavalry Company were in front and had war horses, so it was okay for them to act as scouts for the time being. With the soldiers of the Cavalry Company were in front of the reconnaissance, Li Yunlong directly arranged the scouts five kilometers away. According to Li Yunlong's words, he had never arranged the scouts so far.
On September 3, the Independent Regiment successfully arrived in the northwest of Yushe, where he successfully met with Cheng Xiaozi's 772nd Regiment. When he knew that he was going to cooperate with Cheng Xiaozi, Li Yunlong didn't say anything. He knew that Cheng Xiaozi was still capable of leading troops, and the combat effectiveness of the 772nd Regiment was also not weak.
The 772nd Regiment is also the main regiment of the 386th Brigade, and there are many Japanese killers. Li Yunlong loves to fight with Cheng Xiaozi, but this time the two of them have no problem in cooperating.
Shortly after the Independent Regiment arrived, Ding Wei and the New First Regiment successfully arrived in this area. When he knew that the three infantry battalions were going to attack the 9th Brigade of the Independent Regiment, Ding Wei was a little excited and he took the initiative to ask for it. As Li Yunlong's old comrade-in-arms, Ding Wei was quite clear about Li Yunlong's character. Li Yunlong would not do anything that was not good.
