Chapter 797 Li Yunlong beat him too hard (first update)
At the headquarters of the Solitary Regiment, Li Yunlong was standing at the observation point observing the battlefield. Seeing that the Japanese attacking troops were being beaten with cold fire and artillery fire, they could not find their way to the southeast, northwest, and could not hold back their laughter.
"The Kwantung Army is really crazy. It suffered so much in front of the tunnel and lost so many troops. It's hard to remember."
"I hope one blast of artillery fire will destroy all the entrances and exits of our tunnels."
"It's simply delusional."
"Since they want to pay the tuition so much, we can't be polite. It would be a waste if we don't eat the fat that is offered to them."
"Tell the Wangdu garrison and the twenty-fifth regiment participating in the battle to give me a hard beating, set up all the heavy machine guns and thunder cannons, and kill the Japanese attacking troops."
"Buzz buzz..."
Less than two minutes after the counterattack order was given, the roar of the plane finally reached Li Yunlong's ears.
He raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, his brows furrowed into a big "chuan" character.
Although Li Yunlong had been prepared for it, when the Japanese plane actually arrived, he couldn't help but feel worried. He looked at the battlefield and analyzed it seriously: "The Japanese finally know that they are afraid."
"As soon as the plane arrives, the defensive pressure on our army will definitely increase."
"Inform the troops to make a quick decision. We must end the battle and retreat to the tunnel before the Japanese planes bomb."
"Buzz buzz..."
The roar of the aircraft engine became louder and louder, and a few small black dots soon turned into silver-white aircraft, which rushed to the battlefield and began to dive.
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
Two aerial bombs roared down and exploded the moment they landed.
The orange-red fireball instantly rose into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud dozens of meters high.
Thick smoke rose into the sky, and a huge crater with a diameter of more than five meters was blasted out at the impact point, and the soil on the surface was burned black.
As soon as one plane reached a high altitude, the other plane began to dive. After a while, two heavy bombs broke away from the fuselage and roared to the ground.
After you bombed the three planes, I will continue to bomb them. In just ten minutes, all eighteen aerial bombs were thrown to the ground.
Li Yunlong was heartbroken after seeing this. He turned around and ordered the chief of staff behind him: "Contact the Wangdu Defense Regiment and the 25th Regiment immediately to determine their casualties and the damage to the tunnels."
"Aerial bombs are much more powerful than heavy artillery. Many tunnels must have been destroyed."
"If it doesn't work, we won't fight here."
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as the plane exploded, the Japanese artillerymen joined the battle. The chief of staff also put down the microphone at this moment and walked quickly to Li Yunlong's side to report.
"The 25th Regiment suffered more than 90 casualties, the Wangdu Defense Regiment lost more than 110 people, and six sections of tunnels were destroyed."
"I can still fight..." Li Yunlong replied with a long sigh of relief.
"Tell the two regiment commanders to use the remaining tunnel entrances and exits on the battlefield. If we repel the Japanese attack once more, we will abandon our position and move to the next tunnel fortification to continue to greet the Kwantung Army."
…………
At the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, the radio operator was reporting to Huang Yu the good news he had just received: "Report to the deputy chief of staff."
"Captain Li of the One Regiment called."
"They once again severely damaged a Japanese infantry brigade and wiped out at least 500 Kwantung Army troops."
"But because the Japanese army used a large number of aerial bombs during the battle, the casualties among the troops were nearly 30% higher than in previous battles."
"They are on their way to the next tunnel fortification."
"We plan to use the tunnel to continue to consume the strength of the mopping up troops on the left."
Huang Yu then found the location of the Kwantung Army's East Road mopping up troops on the map. He frowned at the same time, shook his head and muttered to himself: "They fought too hard."
"Captain Li indeed destroyed a large number of enemies, but his retreat speed was also fast."
"According to the original battle plan, they can only abandon four tunnel fortifications today."
"There are still three or four hours before dark, and the troops have withdrawn to the fifth tunnel fortification."
"At this rate of giving up, they will definitely not be able to hold on to the middle mopping up force and be wiped out by us."
"I'll call Commander Li right away: let him take his time."
"Slow down the pace of the battle a little. We must defend the fifth tunnel fortification before dark, and we cannot retreat any further."
"Contact Wang Lin: The attack speed of the Japanese mopping up troops in the middle is too slow. Let them release a little more space to allow the Japanese to speed up their attack."
"The greater the time difference between the central mopping up force and the Kwantung Army on the left and right, the longer it will take for us to fight the annihilation battle and the higher our chance of victory will be."
"Order the Second Regiment, the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment of the Second Division to pull up carts and march into the mountains in company units. We will assume a posture of preparing to enter the mountains to fight guerrillas, forcing the Kwantung Army to speed up its attack."
"Other ambushes lurking around Chenjiazhuang must not expose their targets."
"From dawn to now, the planes above our heads have not stopped."
"This is the only way for us to enter the mountains. We must have been targeted by Okamura Neji."
"If he notices that we have deployed a pocket formation here, he will definitely not dare to let the center sweep the troops into the hinterland of our base and seize Chenjiazhuang."
"Then our careful preparations will be in vain."
…………
In front of the enemy headquarters of the Shunping Defense Regiment, Wang Lin looked very calm as he looked at the blocking position that was quickly flooded by artillery fire, without any worries or concerns.
In the battle just now, they fought another annihilation battle with the cooperation of the 26th Regiment, and killed two squadrons of the Kwantung Army in one go, while losing less than two platoons themselves.
Considering that at least one-third of the tunnel entrances and exits on the position were not bombed, Wang Lin decided to fight another battle here.
Li Zhi, leader of the 26th Regiment, stood aside with a smile on his face.
After fighting for so many years, this is the first time I feel as happy as today.
Facing more than 10,000 elite Kwantung Army troops, not only were the troops not afraid, but they fought with ease. They fought annihilation battles under the noses of the Japanese army again and again, which was both exciting and exciting.
I wish he would fight every next battle.
"Chief of Staff Wang, the Japs have heavy artillery and aircraft. The ground positions will definitely be razed to the ground, and the tunnel entrances and exits will be blown up to nothing."
"With limited positions, we don't need so many troops participating in the battle."
"In the next battle, it will be enough for the 26th Regiment to send one company up. The Junpei garrison will rest. What do you think?"
Wang Lin didn't want to refute Commander Li's face, so he was about to nod when the radio operator suddenly ran over to him: "Chief of Staff, Commander Li, there is an urgent call from the enemy headquarters."
"The attack speed of the Japanese mopping up troops in the middle is too slow. The headquarters asked us not to attack too hard, but to release water appropriately to force the Japanese to speed up their attack and reach Chenjiazhuang as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Wang Lin showed a helpless expression, spread his hands towards Li Zhi, shook his head and said: "Captain Li..."
"It's not that I don't want the 26th Regiment to go, it's just that the conditions don't allow it."
"The orders from the headquarters must be implemented. None of us can fight in this next battle..."
"Inform the troops to retreat immediately, withdraw from the tunnel, and try to avoid the aerial reconnaissance of the Japs."
The first update is delivered today, please order it all!
