Kazuo Watanabe's expression changed: "What? The radio is damaged?"

"Hi Yi! The communications troops are currently doing their best to repair it!"

Yan Yoshida paused nervously. He thought that Watanabe Kazuo would accuse him, but unexpectedly, Watanabe Kazuo changed his voice and said: "If the radio station is damaged, just destroy it. With Yamamoto-kun's battlefield sense, after discovering

If they are unable to contact us, they will definitely lead their troops to come and provide us with tactical guidance."

"Give me my order, everyone, immediately disperse and move deeper into the canyon, and each find a bunker to hide, and try to preserve as much strength as possible!"

After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers of the 9th Brigade immediately dispersed and retreated deep into the canyon...

On top of the canyon.

A scout quickly ran up to Wang Chengzhu and reported to him: "Battal Commander, Commander Ding has led the independent regiment to the east exit of Hulu Gorge and successfully cut off the Japanese retreat route.

In addition, after being blocked by the independent regiment, the Japanese army did not break out of the canyon, but retreated deeper into the canyon."

"Um!"

Wang Chengzhu nodded to express understanding.

After hearing what the scout said, Chu Yunfei on the side said: "Brother Yunlong, brother Zhuzhu, the Japanese want to wait for help."

Li Yunlong cursed: "These naughty little devils are really cunning. I originally thought they were going to break out, but I didn't expect that they actually planned to stick around and wait for help.

Although Calabash Gorge is a natural trap, it is too large in area and has too many places to hide. Our troops are very limited and it may be difficult to cause too much damage to it in the future."

Li Yunlong looked at the fat sheep that had fallen into the trap, but couldn't eat it. Not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.

Wang Chengzhu said: "Commander, since these devils are disobedient, we can only continue to use Molotov cocktails."

"If you continue to use Molotov cocktails, what will I do with those trophies, those brand-new cotton-padded jackets and military shoes..."

Li Yunlong felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of those burned cotton-padded jackets and military shoes.

But due to the current situation, he had no choice but to agree: "This... okay, but try to use as little incendiary bottles as possible, and don't burn my supplies. Those are treasures and worth my money...

…”

On the other side, Yamamoto Kazuki was leading his troops straight to the Calabash Gorge, and from time to time asked the communications soldier next to him if he had contacted the 9th Brigade.

But the reply I received every time was that the 9th Brigade could not be contacted.

At this time, a captain officer next to him asked worriedly: "Captain, could it be that the 9th Brigade has been wiped out by the China Eighth Route Army?"

Yamamoto Kazuki said: "No! The main force of the Eighth Route Army is fighting the Imperial Army's 4th Brigade on the frontal battlefield. The troops they can deploy are limited. Even if the 9th Brigade is lured into the Calabash Gorge, the China Eighth Route Army will not be able to destroy it for a while.

.

The loss of contact with the 9th Brigade may not necessarily mean that they were wiped out, but there may also be a problem with their radio."

"Continue to try to contact the 9th Brigade, and at the same time urge the 4th Brigade to go to Calabash Gorge as quickly as possible!"

"Hiyi!"

The Japanese communications soldier paused heavily and kept running forward while tinkering with the radio...

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

As the Yamamoto special forces retreated, the boss had returned to the headquarters under the protection of a group of guards.

He asked the combat staff on the side: "How is the battle situation on the front line?"

The combat staff responded: "Report to the boss that the Japanese 4th Brigade has stopped its attack, but it has not stopped completely."

Boss: "What do you mean that the Japanese 4th Brigade has stopped attacking, but it has not completely stopped? What are you talking about? A tongue twister?"

Operations Staff Officer: "The Japanese 4th Brigade had originally stopped attacking, but for some unknown reason, after waiting for a while, they suddenly launched an attack again, but the attack was much weaker than before.

The number of troops committed is only about half of what it was before."

"What are you kidding us about?"

The boss frowned and thought for a moment, unable to figure it out, so he asked again: "Is there any news about Li Yunlong?"

Operations staff officer: "Boss, I just wanted to report this to you."

"Although we did not contact Captain Li, we got news about him from the Independent Regiment."

Boss: "Oh? Where did Li Yunlong go?"

Operations Staff Officer: "According to the report from Kong Jie, deputy commander of the independent regiment, Commander Li seems to have gone to the Huting stronghold."

Hearing this, the boss' face suddenly sank and he yelled: "What? At such a critical moment, he, Li Yunlong, went deep alone to attack the Japanese stronghold in Huting?"

"Fortunately, there was no accident at the headquarters, otherwise, I would have had to kill him!"

Operations Staff Officer: "By the way, boss, Deputy Commander Kong also said that Li Yunlong led his troops to attack the Japanese military officer observation group near the Huting stronghold, killing more than 200 Japanese military officers in total.

In addition, one Japanese major general and six Japanese colonels were captured."

"What? What did you say?"

After hearing the words of the combat staff, the expression on the boss's face immediately changed 720 degrees, from anger to shock, and then to disbelief. He even suspected that his ears heard wrong: "Are you sure Li Yunlong?"

Did he capture a Japanese major general and 6 Japanese captains, rather than a Japanese major general and 6 Japanese captains?"

Operations Staff Officer: "Boss, when I heard the news, I was more shocked and unbelievable than you.

Therefore, I repeatedly confirmed with Deputy Commander Kong, and the information I received was indeed that Commander Li had captured one Japanese major general and six Japanese colonels."

The boss completely forgot about his previous anger, grinned widely and said: "Hahaha! What a good boy, what a good Li Yunlong you are! I knew you were a lucky general!"

When the officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army who were communicating with the officers on the side heard this, their faces showed expressions of unbelievable shock.

Because they all knew what it meant to capture one Japanese major general and six Japanese colonels.

It means unparalleled military exploits!

It means that the Eighth Route Army made history!

Because since the beginning of the all-out war of resistance against Japan, the Jinsui Army and even the Central Army have not captured a single Japanese major general, let alone a Japanese major general.

Once this news reaches the mountainous city of Chongqing, it will definitely cause shock throughout the country, greatly boost the morale of the entire army, and greatly enhance the confidence of the country's military and civilians in winning the war against Japan.

The combat staff officer waited for the boss to finish laughing, and then continued to report: "By the way, boss, Deputy Commander Kong also reported that Commander Li was pursued by the Japanese 9th Brigade after ambushing the Japanese officer observation group.

Hey, the situation is not good."

The boss grinned and said: "Hahaha! The little devil has suffered such a big loss. It would be strange not to go crazy. That is to say, the Huting stronghold only has one brigade. If there is a division, the little devil has to mobilize a division.
