"Captain, it's time for us to retreat. If we continue fighting, we will be left by the Japanese." After cutting down a Japanese, Zhang Dabiao shouted loudly.

Li Yunlong cut off a Japanese rushing back, and his physical strength was exhausted, which made the big knife in his hand look even heavier. Li Yunlong took a breath and looked at the other soldiers around him. He could see that the soldiers were all very tired, which made him know that it was indeed time to retreat.

"Comrades! Repel these Japanese devils!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

It is not a simple matter to retreat in the battle with these Japanese. At least they need to repel these Japanese so that they can retreat peacefully. Otherwise, once these Japanese start to pursue Li Yunlong and others, Li Yunlong and others will be extremely passive, and it is even more impossible to easily complete the retreat under the entanglement of Japanese.

As Li Yunlong spoke, the soldiers who were already tired on their faces immediately used up all their remaining strength and rushed towards the Japanese without fear of death. They needed to defeat these Japanese and killed them! In hand-to-hand combat, only by being more fierce than the opponent can they win the hand-to-hand combat.

The first battalion soldiers have a lot of energy to fight hand-to-hand combat, and they have extremely rich experience in hand-to-hand combat. In addition, the Chinese Independent Regiment also attaches great importance to the assassination training of the soldiers, which makes the Japanese keep retreating under the fierce fighting of the first battalion soldiers.

Faced with the fierce attack of the first battalion of soldiers, the Japanese had no other choice. Even if they fought desperately, they could not stop. When the Japanese casualties reached a certain level, these Japanese soldiers collapsed and no longer had any idea of ​​fighting with Li Yunlong and others.

After the first Japanese chose to give up fighting and flee, more and more Japanese joined the ranks of escape. They always felt that they had easily gained the upper hand and sword battle, but after fighting with Li Yunlong and others, these Japanese no longer had such thoughts.

Seeing these Japanese escape, Li Yunlong seized the time to kill some Japanese again, and decisively chose to evacuate and continue. Without Japanese in this area, the firepower of the Japanese troops would definitely come. During the retreat, Li Yunlong and others maintained enough vigilance and also exerted the fastest speed. Before the Japanese launched large-scale shooting, they successfully returned to the Cross Ridge.

As soon as they returned to Cross Ridge, Li Yunlong and others collapsed directly into the position. They were so tired. They had half an hour of hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, and there were casualties on both sides every minute and every second. The soldiers were able to persist until now because their daily training was hard enough.

In the entire independent regiment, only the first battalion of war can perform half an hour of hand-to-hand combat. The other two battalions of war are also good, but compared with the first battalion, it is still a little worse.

"Old Li, Lao Li, how are you? Are you injured? Old Li?" Zhao Gang saw Li Yunlong slumping on the ground and hurried over, with a hint of crying in his voice.

Originally, Li Yunlong wanted to tease Zhao Gang, but after seeing the obvious worry on Zhao Gang's face, he no longer had the idea of ​​teasing Zhao Gang. He didn't want Zhao Gang to continue to worry. Li Yunlong could feel that he was very tired, but if he was injured, he was not injured.

In the fight with the Japanese, the soldiers of the first battalion were all around him. If Li Yunlong was in danger, the soldiers would be able to come soon to help Li Yunlong kill the Japanese. Of course, it would be impossible for Li Yunlong to be injured in more than half an hour of hand-to-hand combat.

"Old Zhao, don't worry, Old Li is tough and will not die easily." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Suddenly, after seeing Li Yunlong's voice very calm, Zhao Gang did not have too much worries. It seemed that Li Yunlong really didn't have any big problems. However, in order to ensure Li Yunlong's safety, Zhao Gang still arranged for Li Yunlong to do the corresponding examination as soon as possible to prevent Li Yunlong from being injured but he was holding on.

After the doctor checked Li Yunlong's body and confirmed that he had no big problems. It was just a few minor injuries, Zhao Gang was really relieved. Considering that Li Yunlong and others were quite tired, Zhao Gang simply asked Li Yunlong and others to go to rest, and after recovering, he joined the battle.

Li Yunlong had no objection to this. He knew very well about his own situation and knew that even if he stayed on the front line, he would not have any combat power and would be quite dangerous. In order to avoid this situation, going to rest is undoubtedly the best choice.

After Li Yunlong and others went to rest, the Japanese did not launch an attack for a long time, which surprised Zhao Gang. He did not understand what these Japanese were doing. However, if these Japanese did not launch an attack, he was naturally very happy and was willing to give the soldiers some time to rest. For most of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, resting is a very luxurious thing, and they have not been able to rest well for a long time.

However, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment had no complaints. They were a member of the Independent Regiment and should participate in any combat operation of the Independent Regiment. Even if it would be very hard, they decided that no warrior would give up. The soldiers were very tired, but in the battle with the Japanese, the soldiers were willing to drag their tired bodies and stick to the defensive position. They would not easily let the Japanese step into the defensive position.

Zhao Gang could see that many soldiers fell asleep with guns in their arms. In less than twenty minutes, the soldiers fell asleep one after another. On the position, while the soldiers were resting, Liu Gen could not hear any snoring sounds. Logically speaking, the soldiers were so tired, so why couldn't they hear any snoring sounds? But in fact, there was no sounds on the position.

A soldier noticed the confusion on Zhao Gang's face, so he explained to Zhao Gang: "Political Commissar Zhao and the comrades did not snore because they slept lightly. The Japanese had any abnormal movements. Everyone could wake up in time and join the battle."

Zhao Gang patted the warrior on the shoulder with a little ashamed on his face. He found that he had not done enough. If he could have sufficient combat command capabilities like Li Yunlong, or if he could get some equipment and ammunition from the brigade commander and enhance the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, the soldiers would not have to be so tired.

Although Zhao Gang knew that his ability was limited and he could not do too much even if he wanted to do something for the Independent Group, he was still a little ashamed. He found that he understood Li Yunlong more and more, and he was also changing towards Li Yunlong. Zhao Gang seemed to understand why Li Yunlong wanted to fight every day when he was in the Independent Group. That was because only through combat could the Independent Group seize enough weapons and equipment and become stronger in combat.

Only when the independent regiment has strong enough combat effectiveness can we avoid encountering today's things, prevent the soldiers from falling into hard battles, and prevent the soldiers from having too many unnecessary sacrifices.

"You are all good things, but I, Zhao Gang, did not do enough." Zhao Gang said with a shameful face.

The soldier shook his head quickly and comforted him: "Political Commissar Zhao, you have done a good job after coming to our independent regiment. You don't need to be ashamed."

"Since the leader and you came to the Independent Regiment, our Independent Regiment's combat effectiveness has been rising sharply, with all weapons and equipment, and our living conditions have also improved a lot. In the eyes of those of us, the leader and you have done too much for the Independent Regiment. The only thing we can do is kill a few more Japanese on the battlefield, so that we can avoid wasting the resources consumed by the Independent Regiment on us."

“…”

The warrior was very excited. He didn't want Zhao Gang to feel ashamed. The Independent Corps had changed enough and became good enough. The Independent Corps' changes had an inseparable relationship with Li Yunlong and the others. He didn't want Zhao Gang, the political commissar, to feel ashamed.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

"Take a quick time to rest for a while, let other soldiers temporarily observe the movements of the Japanese for you. You are all too tired until now," Zhao Gang said again.

This time the warrior nodded vigorously, without any objection. It was not that he saw Zhao Gang coming, the political commissar, that he might have chosen to rest a long time ago. It was not that the warrior wanted to be lazy, it was because he was really unable to bear it. He had too long to rest well, and the subsequent battle would continue. He hoped that he could have a good enough mental state to kill more Japanese.

Time flies. After the soldiers rest for half an hour, the Japanese launched another attack on the direction of the Cross Ridge. This time the Japanese used all their troops, and the artillery continued to fire at the Cross Ridge. This time, the Japanese had not used the mountain cannon, so they chose to fire. Obviously, the Japanese wanted to attack Cross Ridge directly in this battle, and they finished their efforts.

The nearly fifteen minutes of artillery bombardment almost exhausted all the Japanese shells. These Japanese knew that the Independent Regiment had an artillery company, otherwise they would have directly drained all the shells and reduced as much resistance as possible on the charge road. After the artillery bombardment, the Japanese launched an attack from three directions at the same time, with two or three hundred Japanese in each direction.

It can be said that the Japanese launched a charge this time, using all their own forces, and the Japanese light and heavy machine guns opened fire continuously, and it was fine to successfully capture the Cross Ridge. If they failed to capture the Cross Ridge, the morale of the Japanese will inevitably be greatly affected, and the defense of the independent regiment will be much easier in the future.

After the Japanese made such a big move, Zhao Gang decisively notified Li Yunlong as soon as possible and asked Li Yunlong to come to the front line to command the subsequent defensive battle.

"Damn, these Japanese are crazy. They are simply brave. Who gave them the courage to charge like this? Do you really think they are the Japanese Armored Division?" After observing the Japanese rushing towards Cross Ridge, Li Yunlong cursed.

The Japanese had not had many troops, and the puppet army was less than 1,500. The Independent Regiment was not in full, but there were more than 1,000 people. Li Yunlong didn't understand what the situation was in the Japanese commander. He dared to divide his troops with these forces to fight. This was a bit too much of a shame for the Independent Regiment. Yes, in Li Yunlong's opinion, this was the Japanese looking down on the Independent Regiment.

"These Japanese should have some support? The Japanese commander is not a fool. If he is not sure, how can he launch a full-scale attack?" Zhao Gang said.

Zhao Gang stared at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards him. He could see that under the shooting of the soldiers of the Independent Group, the Japanese continued to fall, but the Japanese's charge speed was not greatly affected. The other Japanese charging storm did not stop, as if they were not afraid of death at all. Zhao Gang felt that these Japanese were very strange. At least the performance of these Japanese was a little too fearless.

"No matter what conspiracies the Japanese have, this is a good opportunity for us to kill the Japanese to have vitality!"

"Tell me the order, and order all the people who can move in the regiment to join the battle and kill as many Japanese as possible! At the same time, order our independent regiment's artillery company to open fire at the Japanese artillery positions and restrain the Japanese artillery." Li Yunlong directly issued two orders.

There are some problems with the Japanese splitting their troops, but with the Japanese's combat effectiveness, they still have the opportunity to rush to the Cross Ridge. Even as long as the soldiers of the independent regiment make any mistakes, the possibility of the Japanese rushing to the Cross Ridge will be greater. In order to cut off the possibility of the Japanese rushing to the Cross Ridge's defensive position, Li Yunlong chose to mobilize all the troops that the independent regiment can use. Even the chefs of the kitchen team and the grooms have to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese.

Since Liu Gen and others killed the Japanese and seized a lot of weapons, even if the independent group's chefs and grooms went to the battlefield, they would not have to worry about not having enough weapons, and they would never borrow weapons from cavalry companies again.

Ten minutes later, all the troops of the Independent Regiment arrived at their respective defensive locations. This time, Li Yunlong no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to launch a counter-charge against the Japanese. With the performance of these Japanese, it would be too dangerous to choose a counter-charge again. With the defense of the positions, the soldiers' casualties would be much less. Now, the charge will be carried out without much opinion.

If the Independent Regiment wanted to complete a breakthrough under the siege of these Japanese, then Liu Yunlong would definitely charge without hesitation and defeat these Japanese head-on. But now the Independent Regiment wanted to defend Cross Ridge, so he naturally would not choose to continue charging with the soldiers. In the state of the soldiers, it was not suitable to charge.

On the Cross Ridge, gunfire sounds have never stopped, and the battle of the Independent Regiment continues. Liu Gen and others, as wounded, just lying in the secret corner of the Cross Ridge, waiting for the result of the battle. The wounded who can still fight have already gone to the front line, and the rest are like the wounded people who cannot fight. If the Japanese really rushed to the Cross Ridge, Liu Gen and others would probably not have any resistance.

Five hours later, the sound of gunfire from the front line became less and less, which made Liu Gen, who had been awake, realize that the battle was coming to an end, and I wonder if the Japanese had repelled the Independent Corps.
Chapter completed!
