Chapter 763 Li Yunlong: We, Mr. Li, are lucky (first update)
In the only regimental position, Li Yunlong rarely sat on the ammunition box to take a breath.
In order to cut off the main connection between the Yamaguchi Regiment and the Nakamura Brigade, the Independent Regiment tried its best. As the leader, Li Yunlong personally led the guard platoon to the front line positions to fill the gaps several times. This shows how dangerous the battle just now was.
Fortunately, the Independent Regiment and the 26th Regiment attacked the Japanese flank in time, forcing the Yamaguchi Regiment to return to reinforce the defense. Otherwise, even if the only regiment held the joint, it would have paid a huge price in the battle.
You must know that tonight's ambush battle is just an appetizer for the Eighth Route Army's second major raid against Okamura Neji. The real main course is yet to come.
If the only regiment suffers heavy losses in tonight's battle, it will definitely miss the next big battle. That would be like picking up sesame seeds while losing love, and the gain outweighs the gain.
"Captain, the 1st Regiment and the 26th Regiment are launching a general attack on the 26th Regiment, do we want to rush in too!" A battalion commander ran up to Li Yunlong and asked with eagerness on his face.
"Just now, the Yamaguchi Regiment tried to retake the junction and killed many of our soldiers."
"If we don't attack, the Yamaguchi Regiment will be completely wiped out by the Second Regiment and the 26th Regiment. If we want to take revenge, we won't be able to find an opponent."
"What to attack...you know how to attack all day long, why don't you know how to use your brain?" Li Yunlong said angrily after hearing this.
Seeing the battalion commander looking at him in shock, not believing that he could bear to watch the cooked duck slip away from his mouth, Li Yunlong couldn't continue scolding him.
After all, the idea I had instilled in them before was that they would be fools if they didn't take advantage of them.
What I just said is obviously completely contrary to this idea.
He hesitated and explained: "In the blocking attack just now, we killed at least three infantry squadrons and lost nearly two companies. The battle loss was 1:2, which is equivalent to one of our soldiers being able to kill two Japanese soldiers."
"Do you think we can achieve such a good battle loss ratio if we take the initiative to attack and storm the remnants of the Yamaguchi Regiment?"
The first battalion commander shook his head: "We definitely can't hit him!"
"When we take the initiative to attack, the offensive and defensive sides change. We attack and the Japanese defend. Even if we have an absolute firepower advantage, the troops will pay a huge price in the battle."
"Taking a step back, even if we easily enter the Japanese ring position, those wounded Japanese soldiers pretending to be dead will cause us a lot of casualties."
"It would be great if the final battle loss ratio can be one to one!"
Li Yunlong continued to ask: "How many people are left in your first battalion?"
"A reinforced company!" The battalion commander seemed to have thought of something and answered with an embarrassed look.
"That's it!" Li Yunlong continued to explain.
"If you continue fighting at this battle loss ratio, you can only kill more than a hundred little Japs with all your battalions!"
"We just killed four to five hundred Japs just by blocking them. Including the raid on the junction, we must have killed seven or eight hundred Japs. Do you think we are short of the victory of more than a hundred Japs?"
"Besides, we have killed all the Yamaguchi Regiment. What do you want the other troops to do? Follow us and drink soup?"
"There is one last question. If all the troops are exhausted here, in the subsequent counter-mopping up, facing the attack of 30,000 to 40,000 Kwantung Army troops, what can the only regiment do to participate in the battle? Is it possible that it will just sit aside and be a bystander?"
Seeing a look of realization finally flashing across the battalion commander's face, Li Yunlong decisively shut up.
"Captain..."
As soon as the first battalion commander was comforted, the third battalion commander also ran over.
Li Yunlong thought he also wanted to ask for a fight, but when he saw the anxious expression on his face, he realized something was wrong and asked quickly.
"Is there any movement among the main force of Nakamura Brigade?"
"There seem to be more kiddies across from us!" the third battalion commander replied anxiously.
"Although they do it very covertly, you can still see it."
"The number of heavy machine guns has nearly doubled compared to ten minutes ago, and there are many more soldiers. There are also many artillery units moving closer to us!"
Li Yunlong stood up from the ammunition box, trotted towards the defense line, and raised his binoculars.
"Captain..." the radio operator of the only regiment suddenly shouted from behind Li Yunlong.
"An urgent message from Deputy Chief of Staff Huang of the former enemy headquarters!"
"The main force of the Nakamura brigade shows signs of moving closer to the junction, requiring us to step up our guard to prevent the Nakamura brigade from breaking out from us!"
"The former enemy command headquarters has dispatched two mortar companies to march urgently to reinforce us."
"The mountain artillery troops will also continue to reinforce us."
"If the main force of Nakamura's brigade really intends to break out, the other encircling troops will immediately launch an attack and cover us from the side and back to hold our position!"
Li Yunlong suddenly stopped, snatched the telegram from the operator's hand, and laughed after reading it: "Haha... we, Mr. Li, got lucky today!"
"Pass my order: the first battalion remains stationary and continues to defend the Yamaguchi Regiment..."
"The third battalion immediately prepared for battle and stopped the little Japs attacking us at all costs..."
"The second battalion is on standby, ready to reinforce the third battalion at any time!"
"In the next tough battle, we will defend the enemy's attack. The advantage lies with us. There will be many artillery troops to provide artillery reinforcements in the future. The battle loss ratio can be 1 to 2 at the worst. We must fight well."
"Even if a single group fights all the troops, it can still kill two to three thousand little Japs. Adding in the ones already killed, that's a whole reinforced regiment."
"It doesn't matter if we don't have the strength to participate in the next counter-mopping up. Anyway, we have eaten enough meat, and we don't care about the little soup and water left!"
After giving the order, Li Yunlong continued to shoot at the third battalion's defense line.
The Japanese army seemed to be ready to break out of the encirclement, and the formation of troops was no longer sneaky. One infantry group after another moved to the front of the defense line, and there were at least a thousand people passing by at a glance.
There are also more than twenty heavy machine guns on the circular defense line, equivalent to two heavy machine gun squadrons.
"Haha... The little devils really think that we, Lao Li, are easy to bully, and they want to bite me... Comrades, get ready for battle, the little devils are about to start attacking."
"In the next battle, we must not only repel the Japanese offensive, but also let them know."
"The only thing we have is a piece of hard bone, not fat."
"Even if I die, I will break two of their teeth."
The third battalion commander then reminded: "Captain, the number of Japs gathered in front of us has exceeded one brigade. Can we conclude that the Nakamura brigade wants to break out from us?"
"Can we contact other troops to launch an attack earlier to help us share more of the combat pressure?"
Li Yunlong shook his head and refused: "Confused..."
"What if this is a little devil trying to attack the east?"
"Other troops are launching an attack now. Wouldn't that just hit them?"
"Even if the Japs really plan to break out from us, and other encircling troops launch attacks now and attract the Japs away, how can we still eat meat?"
"You just need to fight, I will take care of the rest."
"No matter what, I will not let the Duyi Group fall into crisis!"
