Chapter 858 Li Yunlong, it’s time for the little devil to cry
"I almost got shot by Neji Okamura. Fortunately, this kid is smart. If the Hashimoto Brigade had escaped, I wouldn't have anywhere to cry." Li Yunlong continued to lament.
After saying that, he stared at the chief of staff and ordered Zhou Wei: "Now that Okamura Neji has made the move, it is my turn to take the move."
"The troops immediately rushed out of their positions and followed and chased Hashimoto's brigade."
"Having Hashimoto's brigade detour to Chenjiazhuang and break out from Shunping is indeed a strange move. It will win by surprise and catch us off guard."
"But as long as we see their breakout plan in advance, the strange move will turn into a nasty move."
"When Hashimoto's brigade attacked us, the rear troops had been building a temporary defense line around the position, assuming a posture of defending here."
"If they really decide to stay here and wait for reinforcements, at least there will be some positions they can use."
"With the combat power of the Kwantung Army and relying on fortifications to wait for reinforcements, even if we have the advantage in firepower, we can't take advantage of it."
"Tanjiagou is different."
"Wei Dayong led a team to secretly take over the place and built a large number of defenses in advance."
"The Hashimoto brigade did not know the real situation there, and killing them head-on was tantamount to hitting the guns of the Junpei garrison."
"That unit was organized and trained by Xiao Huang. It has extremely strong combat effectiveness and is well-equipped."
"Except for the Duer Regiment and Lao Tzu's Sole Regiment in the entire wing, it is estimated that the Shunping Defense Regiment has the strongest combat effectiveness."
"If such a force were to block the road, the remnants of Hashimoto's brigade would definitely be hit and bruised, causing heavy losses."
"We took the opportunity to encircle them and launch a general attack."
"The Hashimoto brigade probably won't even have time to dig fortifications. If our army suddenly launches an attack, they will definitely be unable to guard against it. The price the troops will pay in the battle will be much smaller."
"This is called Xiao He who succeeds and Xiao He who loses..." Zhou Wei suddenly interrupted.
"If we hadn't discovered Neji Okamura's conspiracy and allowed Hashimoto's brigade to take the upper hand, we would be the ones crying now. No matter how the troops seize the time, they can only follow the Japanese army and watch them take advantage of us.
Sneaking away under the nose of the army."
"Now that we have seen through Neji Okamura's conspiracy, and the advantage of the battlefield is in our hands, it is the little devil who should cry."
"Captain Li, I will lead my troops to catch up now and beat up the drowned dog."
"The more anxious the Japanese are to escape and the less vigilant they are, the harder they hit Tanjiagou and the greater the losses."
"When the two sides engage in a decisive battle, we can not only catch them off guard, but also rely on our strength advantage to win with more troops and end the battle as quickly as possible with minimal casualties."
Li Yunlong nodded: "Bring all the heavy equipment!"
"You don't have to rush too fast, just keep your speed and stick close to the enemy so they can feel the pressure."
"The troops must not advance lightly, let alone underestimate the enemy."
"Our opponent is, after all, the Kwantung Army, which is known as the army with the strongest combat effectiveness."
"Although we are losing ground to defeat, our strength is there."
"If they want to kill us with a carbine, they can kill our two light infantry battalions at will."
"Bring all the heavy weapons, strengthen the troops' vigilance, and advance steadily behind the Japanese."
"If the Japanese really want to kill us, no matter if they stick out their heads or arms, we will chop them off."
Zhou Wei really had the idea of pursuing a light pursuit. As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly followed the order: "Captain Li, don't worry..."
"I will never let the devils take advantage of me!"
…………
At the Tanjiagou position, Wei Dayong was leading the guard platoon to inspect the position.
The news of his seizure of Chenjiagou has not been leaked out yet. If he is lucky, he can swallow up the forward troops of Hashimoto's brigade with lightning speed.
What he has to do now is to hide the troops as much as possible, so that the Japanese forward troops can rush to the pocket formation in front of the formation without warning.
"First company commander..." Wei Dayong pointed at the machine gun position in front of him and said.
"Here..." The company commander rushed over from a distance.
He used to be a deputy battalion commander. The unit suffered too many casualties and was seriously attrited. The original first company commander was directly demoted to the platoon commander, so of course he was demoted to the first company commander.
"Reduce the number of machine gunners in your hands by half..." Wei Dayong said seriously.
"The Japs forward force can only have one squadron at most. You guys only have one or twenty light machine guns, and there is a fire platoon behind to provide heavy fire support. Do you think the Japs don't know how strong your firepower is?"
The first company commander reacted immediately: "The battalion commander wanted to show weakness deliberately..."
Wei Dayong was noncommittal: "Only by showing weakness can the Japanese despise us."
"When they underestimate the enemy, we have the opportunity to hit them hard."
"The captain finally gave us a good opportunity to behead him. No matter what, we have to kill more than a thousand Japanese."
The first company commander immediately received the order: "Please don't worry, battalion commander, I will evacuate people now."
Wei Dayong continued: "The machine guns must be withdrawn, but the time for us to eliminate the Japanese forward squadron cannot be extended..."
"Batalion Commander..." the reconnaissance platoon leader shouted from a distance.
"The Japs are coming...a squadron of forward troops...the main force and artillery are following closely...it will take ten minutes at most to kill them!"
"God help me..." Wei Dayong's face quickly became excited, he pulled out the box cannon and gave orders to the first company commander.
"You heard it...a forward squadron, exactly the same as we judged before..."
"Get ready for battle immediately..."
…………
The Japanese forwards arrived very quickly. They formed a line of skirmishers and quickly rushed to Tanjiagou with guns in hand.
Perhaps due to the presence of sentries along the route, these Japanese troops were very arrogant but very low on vigilance.
I rushed all the way to the front of the formation fifty meters without realizing any danger, and still marched forward with my head held high.
The box gun in Wei Dayong's hand suddenly fired, and the bullets flew out of the barrel and flew toward the two Japanese in a fan shape.
The distance between the two sides was too close. The moment the gunfire rang out, the two Japanese soldiers' chests were beaten into sieves and they fell to the ground without even a chance to react.
"Da da da... dong dong dong..."
The light and heavy machine guns hidden in the trenches emerged one after another and opened fire, quickly forming a barrage of bullets in front of the Japanese army...
The first few rows of Japanese soldiers were like ripe wheat, being cut to the ground piece by piece.
Major General Hashimoto was one kilometer behind the forward squadron. The sound of the sudden firefight reached his ears immediately, and then he was completely blinded.
The reconnaissance force clearly told them that there was no organized Eighth Route Army in front of them, so what was the reason for the gunfire at this moment?
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army was unable to fly because Leng Buding suddenly stood in front of him?
The gunfire continued, and Major General Hashimoto's face became more and more serious. Hearing the gunfire, the opponent had at least one battalion.
If this happened before, he would have completely ignored it.
