Chapter 1041 Li Yunlong: It’s worth losing all your family fortune
"Sir..." A lieutenant who was a scout ran towards Colonel Oda with a worried look on his face.
"There are no more of our troops nearby... Several Eighth Route Army units are rapidly chasing us in battalion units. You must leave here as soon as possible."
"Where's the artillery?" Colonel Oda always felt that something was missing from the troops around him. He didn't realize it until he heard the report from his subordinates. He immediately overtook the surviving squadron commanders and asked the group leader.
"Why aren't there any mountain guns or heavy artillery around us?"
"Haven't the nearly 100 mountain field guns and heavy artillery in the station been snatched away?"
"Sir, calm down..." an artillery squadron leader lowered his head and replied.
"The artillery was too heavy. It was only after receiving the order to retreat that it was pulled out of the gun position and began to move."
"By the time we reached the edge of the station, all the infantry had already retreated."
"The Eighth Route Army knew that we were soft persimmons, so they attacked us like crazy."
"Most of our gunners are not equipped with self-defense weapons. They are helpless against the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops and can only be beaten passively."
"In order to reduce the losses, I had to order the troops to blow up the artillery and break through lightly."
"Despite this, of the more than 60 gunners in humble hands, only 20 or so gunners broke out. The other gunners were all eliminated by the Eighth Route Army's pursuit troops on the retreat."
Another artillery squadron leader immediately answered: "The situation faced by humble positions is similar."
"The Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the artillery unit where I was working from several directions, with light machine guns as the lead. The offensive firepower was very powerful."
"The artillery unit where I work is not even equipped with a single light machine gun and only has less than thirty rifles."
"Faced with the Eighth Route Army's rapid charge, we could only be beaten passively."
"I have to destroy the artillery, break out and retreat lightly, and ask the commander for punishment..."
The nearly one hundred mountain field guns and heavy artillery in his hands gave Colonel Oda the courage to defend Longkou Town.
Now all these artillery pieces are gone, and there are not even many heavy machine guns and mortars left. If they encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army again, even if they have no air support, they will only be passively beaten.
A look of fear immediately appeared on Colonel Oda's face, and he quickly ordered: "Retreat immediately..."
"Since we are not encumbered by heavy weapons, we will retreat towards Baoding through mountain roads and small roads, so that the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong will not be able to judge our marching trajectory, and even if we want to set up an ambush in advance, we will not be able to find the ambush location."
"More quickly, we must not be bitten by the Eighth Route Army's pursuers."
…………
The Japanese military garrison in Longkou Town.
The fierce exchange of fire has completely stopped.
The flying regiment buzzing overhead had also evacuated the battlefield half an hour ago. There were still burning wood, bonfires, tents everywhere...
Bomb craters caused by planes can be seen everywhere, and there are several corpses lying around almost every crater.
Li Yunlong walked on the battlefield, feeling very excited.
Even though I was beaten to death, I never expected that the Japanese military garrison with more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers would actually be captured by me.
I walked up to a large-caliber heavy cannon and touched the cold barrel, feeling filled with emotion.
The chief of staff suddenly ran towards him with excitement on his face: "Brigadier..."
"good news……"
"The Japs who broke through and evacuated the camp had at most 2,500 people left. They divided their troops into two groups, abandoned the highway, and marched towards Baoding via mountain roads and small roads."
"These little devils were so scared by us that they didn't even dare to walk on the highway."
"Mountain roads and small roads happen to be familiar battlefields to us. Although we don't know which mountain road these two groups of little devils will take to escape, we can't set an ambush on their final route."
"But the mountain road has rugged terrain and dense forests, which is very suitable for us to fight guerrillas."
"Even if the little devil is escorted by planes above his head, he will not be a threat to our troops scattered in the forest."
"I would like to dispatch a reinforced company from each of the 1st and 2nd regiments to hunt down the Japs. The deputy commander will lead the team in person. Before the Japs have evacuated our base, we will kill as many as we can. Please ask the brigade commander for approval."
More than 2,000 little Japs have been bombed into nothing more than homeless dogs, and have almost lost their combat effectiveness.
This can be seen from the fact that they dare not take the road.
In this case, Li Yunlong wouldn't mind taking advantage of his illness to kill him and give him another heart-wrenching beating.
He nodded immediately: "You can do this..."
"But we must remind the deputy leader of the team."
"Even if the little devil becomes a lost dog, he is still an enemy armed to the teeth. You must be more vigilant when chasing him. Don't win the battle again and be killed by them at the last moment."
As soon as the chief of staff left, the commander of the third regiment, who was responsible for tallying the results of the battle, came towards Li Yunlong with a face full of joy.
"brigadier……"
"The various captured artillery pieces have been tallied..."
"After repeated confirmation by the artillery unit, there are still 16 large-caliber heavy artillery on the battlefield that can continue to be used. The remaining six heavy artillery were destroyed, but many spare parts can be dismantled."
"There are 19 field guns left, the mountain guns are the most numerous, with 28 left, and the infantry guns are slightly less, with only seven left..."
"The rest are all rapid-fire guns, anti-tank guns, mortars..."
"The total adds up to more than 159 doors..."
"There are still more than 130 heavy machine guns left on the battlefield by the Japanese, and most of them can continue to be used."
Li Yunlong's face lit up with joy on the spot. He punched the barrel of the gun excitedly and shouted: "Good shot..."
"We did not lose in this battle."
"Even if you lose all your family wealth, seizing so many artillery pieces is still a good deal that will ensure you make a profit without losing money..."
"Well played..."
"Have the troops clean up the battlefield immediately, move all the weapons and ammunition that can be used here, and try to clear this place before dawn."
"If the time is too short to complete the mission, the weapons and ammunition that cannot be transferred must be disguised so that the little Japanese pilots in the sky cannot find them."
"Send another telegram to Kong Jie and Huang Yu."
"The Longkou Town raid ended successfully, severely damaging the retreating Japanese troops, killing more than 4,500 Japanese troops, and seizing a large amount of weapons and equipment."
"The next battle will be up to them."
…………
"Buzz buzz..."
Amidst huge roars, several aircraft of the flight group that completed their mission slowly landed at Chenjiazhuang Airport.
After filling up the fuel, we took to the sky again and headed straight to the reserve airport along the bonfire on the ground.
The reason why these planes have to return to Chenjiazhuang Airport is not because they don't have enough fuel, nor because the battlefield does not have a direct route to the reserve airport, but because it is to confuse the little devil intelligence personnel and let them lock the specific location of Chenjiazhuang Airport and mistakenly think that the flight group has completed its mission.
Later, they all returned to Chenjiazhuang Airport, which attracted more Japanese planes to bomb Chenjiazhuang Airport.
After the last plane took off, the two engineering companies that had been ambushing here immediately got busy. They pushed the plane that had been prepared and ran over to it. They also arranged explosive packages so that the Japanese pilots could see the explosion of the plane at the airport.
, so that they will believe that they have completed the mission of killing the Eighth Route Army Flying Group.
