Kong Jie smiled and said: "Li Yunlong, your kid's appetite is getting bigger and bigger."

"Now we have three regiments with about 4,000 people. How dare you try to form a regiment of little devils?"

After the consumption of the previous battles, each of the three regiments also suffered losses. Now there are only 4,000 warriors left in the battle.

In fact, it is estimated that there are not even 4,000 people.

Because Li Yunlong only brought half a group of more than a thousand people, Kong Jie and Ding Wei also brought more than a thousand people each.

Originally there were only more than 4,000 people, but after these few battles, the casualties were not too great.

The number of casualties lost in the battle was nearly a thousand.

As for the Little Japanese regiment, there are about 3,800 people, so the strength of both sides is basically the same.

With the same force, trying to encircle and annihilate the Japs is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Actually, we still have a certain advantage in terms of military strength, because according to the intelligence we have obtained, the Japs regiment near Lotus Cave is the Ono Regiment, and the commander of the regiment is Colonel Hideo Ono."

"It is said to be a coalition to the outside world, but in fact it is not a reorganized coalition."

"This regiment was originally stationed in the Niangziguan area and was responsible for protecting the safety of the Zhengtai Railway."

"They were hastily transferred out this time, but the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway is one of the most important railway transportation lines for the Japanese. They cannot all be transferred out. They will definitely leave some troops to continue to protect the safety of the railway."

"So this Ono Regiment has left part of its troops behind, but has transferred a large portion of its troops from the subordinate brigades."

"Based on various intelligence judgments, they have no more than 3,000 troops near Lotus Cave, only more than 2,000, and at most about 2,500."

Four thousand versus two thousand five!

Although they have some advantages in terms of military strength, it seems impossible to kill these little devils.

After all, the enemy's combat effectiveness is still very strong, not to mention even if they are of the same strength.

If you want to encircle and annihilate an enemy force, you often need several times the superior strength.

What's more, the overall strength of the Japs is even stronger. Even though the strength of Li Yunlong and his three groups has greatly increased, there is still a certain gap compared with the Japs.

Even in terms of weapons and equipment, there is not much difference.

However, there is still a certain gap in the quality of individual soldiers.

The little devils are all well-trained elite soldiers, but the Eighth Route Army is relatively worse.

Apart from anything else, the gap in physical fitness cannot be made up in a short period of time.

Kong Jie smoked a dry cigarette and frowned, seeming to have difficulty making up his mind.

Ding Wei also fell silent, lowering his head and thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

After pondering for a moment, Ding Wei said: "It will be too difficult to encircle and annihilate this group of little devils."

"If it's just an ambush and defeating it, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"It would be a good choice to take the opportunity to eliminate a group of little devils."

Li Yunlong said with a serious face: "The little devils have also learned to be smart. They basically act in units."

"The Ono Alliance is a relatively weak enemy, and the other enemy forces are stronger."

"So we are very lucky to have come across this Ono team."

"Such a good opportunity cannot be wasted."

Kong Jie stared at the map and said thoughtfully: "But there is another problem. Once we launch an attack, other little devils will definitely come to support us."

"That is to say, we must end the battle in a short time and then withdraw from the battlefield quickly."

"Because we don't have the extra troops to stop the enemy's reinforcements, and judging from the current situation, the Japanese reinforcements may arrive within four or five hours."

"For four or five hours, it's not that easy to eat this little devil."

"If the Japs' reinforcements arrive and we haven't withdrawn yet, we may be bitten by them and unable to escape."

"If this happens, we will be in danger."

"It makes sense!"

Ding Wei nodded and said: "Lao Kong's worries are not unreasonable, so this battle is not easy to fight."

"But since we have encountered each other, of course we have to fight."

"Then our strategic goal is to kill as many little devils as possible."

"We can set a time limit. After the time is up, no matter what the outcome is, we will retreat immediately."

"After all, we can't put ourselves in it!"

Li Yunlong took a puff of cigarette and stared at the map for a while.

Given the current situation, it is indeed too difficult to kill these little devils, and it is almost an impossible task.

And there are other main Japanese troops around. Once the battle starts, they will definitely come to support with all their strength.

Therefore, this battle is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.

Li Yunlong would not do a loss-making business.

Li Yunlong was not an indecisive person. After taking a puff of cigarette, he quickly made up his mind.

"Just do what Old Ding said! Try your best to kill more little devils."

"Ding dong~! New mission released."

"Task name: Extracting teeth from the tiger's mouth."

"Mission requirement: Ambush the Ono Regiment."

"Mission reward: Completely annihilate the Ono Alliance, and reward an SSS-level gift pack. Kill more than 1,500 people, and reward an SS-level gift pack. Kill 1,000 people, and reward an S-level gift pack. Kill 1,000 people, and reward an S-level gift pack.

There will be no reward for the following.”

"Failure penalty: None! (Failure means no battle occurred.)"

"Task time: Valid within 24 hours."

Total annihilation refers to the elimination of more than 90% of the Japanese troops.

As for the Ono Regiment, there are only about 2,500 people here, so we will calculate based on this number, not the 3,800 people in the entire Regiment.

A series of crisp system prompts suddenly sounded, and Li Yunlong couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

This system is really considerate. It suddenly issued such a task for fear that Li Yunlong would lose money.

This strengthened Li Yunlong's confidence in ambushing Ono's unit.

Anyway, there is a system reward guarantee, so this battle won’t be a big loss.

Because this battle is too difficult to fight, if they cannot annihilate all the Japs in a short period of time, it will be difficult for them to gain any trophies.

At most, they can only get a part of the loot, which may not make up for their battle consumption.

Because they could not completely annihilate the Japanese, they would not have time to clean the battlefield and collect the spoils of war, so they could only retreat in a hurry.

If this is the case, you may lose money.

Of course, this is a loss calculated purely from material consumption and acquisition.

In fact, as long as some of the Japs are annihilated and their strength is reduced, it is not considered a loss.

After all, if we eliminate a few more little Japs, we will be one step closer to a complete victory in the War of Resistance.

So from an overall perspective, as long as it's not a disastrous defeat, it doesn't count as a loss.

However, people like Li Yunlong were also afraid of poverty, so naturally they wanted to gain more benefits while attacking the little devils.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Kong Jie also made up his mind.

"Okay~! According to what you said, even if we can't annihilate them all, we will at least cripple them."

"Let these little devils see how powerful we are."

Ding Wei laughed and said: "Haha~! That's settled then."

"It's rare that we have such a happy cooperation during this time, and I believe it will be the same this time."

"I heard that Hideo Ono, a bastard, is also ruthless. Ever since this old devil was transferred to North China, he has killed many of our people."

"The superiors also issued strict orders to find a way to kill Hideo Ono."

"This happens to be an opportunity. If we can take the opportunity to kill this bully, we won't be at a loss."

Then everyone discussed the specific battle plan.

Li Yunlong finally said: "Then it's settled, the troops will enter Motian Ridge to set up an ambush tonight."

"Try to get ready as soon as possible, and then wait for the opportunity."

"Okay, let's go back and get ready!"

…

The headquarters of the Japanese 1st Army was still brightly lit at this moment.
