Chapter 859 Li Yunlong I don’t have time to waste time here
Major General Hashimoto's face turned green and white for a while, and it took him a while to accept this cruel fact.
Immediately ordered: "Set up all the mountain artillery and mortars for me and bombard the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions."
"Concentrate an infantry brigade to attack the blocking position. No one can take a step back without my order."
"We must break through Tanjiagou within twenty minutes, otherwise we are likely to be blocked here by the Eighth Route Army's pursuers."
"Even if Amaterasu comes to this world, he won't be able to save us."
The chief of staff of the brigade responded: "I suggest that all the remaining armored vehicles and tanks of the tank unit be dispatched."
"If the troops are really blocked here by the Eighth Route Army, we won't even have time to repair the fortifications and will rush into the battle. We may not be able to hold on for even an hour or two."
"So no matter what, we cannot be blocked here by the Eighth Route Army."
Major General Hashimoto nodded immediately: "Okay..."
"As long as we can break through the Tanjiagou blocking position, it doesn't matter if all the remaining armored vehicles and tanks of the tank force are destroyed."
…………
After Wei Dayong fired a handful of bullets, he stopped shooting, put the box gun back into its holster, raised his binoculars, and carefully observed the main force of the Japanese army.
The current squadron of Japs is finished.
More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns and more than a hundred rifles suddenly opened fire. The first round of rapid fire attack killed more than a small team. After the Japs lay down, they were killed by grenades and grenades to follow up. Only thirty or forty Japs were left.
Struggling.
It is only a matter of time to annihilate them all. One more Wei Dayong is not too much, and one less than him is not enough.
As a result, as soon as he raised the telescope, he captured the scene of the Japanese army setting up mountain artillery.
"Not good..." Wei Dayong's expression suddenly changed and he cried out.
"The little Japanese want to play the same-die trick with us again... Using the forward squadron as bait, they will block us in the ground position, and the mountain artillery and mortars will fire at the same time, taking the opportunity to kill a large number of our troops."
"What a ruthless commander..."
"In order to defeat us, you simply don't regard your subordinates as human beings, and you will abandon them whenever you want."
"Leave one platoon to continue suppressing the Japanese forward squadron, and the others immediately retreat into the tunnel to defend against artillery attacks. Quick..."
Wei Dayong had just entered the tunnel when a shrieking shell exploded behind him. The ground beneath his feet shook several times. Countless pieces of soil fell from the top of the tunnel. It looked particularly scary, as if the tunnel might collapse at any time.
.
Just one minute after the artillery fire covered the Tanjiagou blocking position, it was shrouded in artillery fire.
There were splashes of fire everywhere, and groups of fireballs rising into the sky...
…………
Major General Hashimoto forced himself to calm down and was staring at the battlefield with a serious face to determine when the attacking troops would launch their attack.
The Eighth Route Army's tunnel fortifications are too powerful. If the artillery fires for one more minute and bombs a few more tunnel entrances and exits, the combat pressure on the attacking troops will be much less.
He planned to have the artillery fire several more rounds of artillery shells at the blocking position within a limited time to reduce the losses of the attacking troops as much as possible.
The idea is good, but the reality is very cruel. Neither Li Yunlong nor Huang Yu will let Major General Hashimoto's conspiracy succeed.
The plan was to let the artillery fire for another five minutes and then let the infantry launch an assault. However, before it could be implemented, it was interrupted by a hurried messenger.
"General..."
"The Eighth Route Army that is chasing us is almost here."
"Our captain is setting up a temporary defense line."
"But we have no position at our feet, so our troops can only respond hastily and are completely exposed to enemy artillery fire."
"The Eighth Route Army that is chasing us carries a lot of heavy weapons. The troops will definitely not be able to hold on for too long. Please make plans, sir."
"The Eighth Route Army is so fast..." the chief of staff couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this.
Just as he was about to say another sentence, another messenger hurried towards the brigade commander.
"General, there are a lot of signs of Eighth Route Army activity on the left side of the team. There are at least one regiment of troops and a lot of heavy firepower. If the troops don't move, they will be blocked here."
Facing the approaching pursuers, Major General Hashimoto realized that he could not wait any longer and ordered without hesitation: "Stop the bombardment, the infantry will launch an assault immediately, and break through the Tanjiagou blocking position at all costs."
"Artillery on standby..."
"If the attacking force successfully captures Tanjiagou, immediately destroy all field artillery and heavy artillery, and follow the infantry to advance lightly."
"If the attacking troops fail to break through Chenjiagou, the infantry will ask them to provide fire cover and fight to the death against the Eighth Route Army that besieged us."
…………
When Hashimoto's brigade was attacking Tanjiagou with all its strength, Li Yunlong was leading the troops forward crazily.
"Stop the artillery advance and set up artillery immediately to provide long-distance artillery support to the Tanjiazhuang defenders. Hurry up..." This order was given by Li Yunlong while running.
"Commander, we discovered the Japanese artillery position..." The reconnaissance platoon leader of the only regiment suddenly rushed towards Li Yunlong and reported excitedly.
"In a hurry, the little devils arranged artillery positions on the roadside, and there were not many troops to defend them."
"I estimate that one battalion can take them down."
Li Yunlong was moved after hearing this, but he swallowed it back as soon as the raid order came to his lips.
He only had two battalions in hand. If he divided one battalion to raid the Japanese artillery positions, the remaining battalion would definitely be in danger if the Japanese turned around and killed him.
Both the enemy and us are already furious, and no one knows what the little devil will do next.
But Li Yunlong would not just watch the cooked duck slip away from his mouth. He immediately thought of a solution: "Where is the operator?"
"Contact Huang Yu immediately and send them the specific location of the Japanese artillery positions so that the cavalry can move up."
"They are so fast that even if the enemy realizes the danger, they don't have time to build a defense line or even destroy the artillery."
"Da da da……"
A fierce exchange of fire suddenly sounded at the front of the team. As soon as Li Yunlong raised his binoculars, his subordinates reported in his ears: "Commander, we are engaged in a firefight with the Japanese rear troops."
"I saw it..." Li Yunlong said with excitement.
The telescope in his hand was not put down. After watching the Japanese troops, the rear troops continued to look at the Tanjiagou battlefield where the Japanese troops were launching an attack.
The battle there has entered a fever pitch.
The Japanese were like crazy and charged forward risking their lives.
Completely disregarding the safety of the attacking troops, the mortar shells continued to hit the Tanjiagou blocking position, hoping to take the opportunity to kill a few more Eighth Route Army troops and cover the attacking troops.
Li Yunlong's face suddenly darkened.
Faced with such a desperate attack, even if Li Yunlong personally led troops to defend Tanjiagou, he was not 100% sure that he would be able to defend it.
Putting down the telescope, he asked anxiously: "Why haven't the artillery fired yet..."
"Hurry up and provide artillery cover for the Tanjiagou blocking force and bombard the Japanese attacking force."
"The Japanese rear troops only have one squadron, and they will be wiped out sooner or later, but I don't have time to hang around with them here."
"We divided two companies to surround them, and the others followed me to bypass the Japanese rear troops and attack the main force of Hashimoto's brigade from the flanks, making it impossible for them to attack Tanjiagou with all their strength."
