The Eighth Route Army, which was responsible for several regiments in the two county towns of Xiangyuan and Licheng County, withdrew from the battle not long after fighting the Japanese.
After several days of fierce fighting, these regiments suffered heavy casualties and no longer had the strength to kill the remaining Japanese.
However, these regiments guarded the county wall and did not allow the Japanese to leave the city.
Even if the Japanese organized a counterattack on the city wall, with the artillery support of the Eighth Route Army artillery group outside the city, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.
When they found that they couldn't break out of the encirclement, the Japanese simply stopped charging.
However, Li Yunlong did not intend to let go of the Japs in Changzhi County, and ordered the Xinyi Regiment County Brigade and the two regiments to stay and kill all the Japs in Changzhi County.
There are 2,000 people in the new regiment and county brigade, plus the other two regiments each have more than 1,000 people.
The Japs only have more than 1,000 people, and more than 4,000 people fight more than 1,000 people, which is a huge advantage.
Chen Dugu was good at using underhanded tactics. Together with the two regiment leaders, they decided to change their tactics and adopt the strategy of division and encirclement.
That is to say, the entire county was divided into four blocks, and a small number of troops were sent to guard the streets in the other three blocks to block the Japanese inside.
Then concentrate the superior forces and clear out the items one by one, house by house, to improve efficiency and reduce casualties.
Chen Dugu's tactic had immediate results, and the Japanese hiding in half the county were eliminated in just one morning.
It is expected that all the Japs in Changzhi County will be completely eliminated in the afternoon.
…
Huangyadong Arsenal Eastern Front Battlefield.
Li Yunlong took advantage of Zhao Gang to arrange logistics matters.
He carried a ghost-headed sword and headed to the battlefield.
Lu Yingjun, Huang Erhu, Liu Dali and several security guards followed closely behind him carrying radios, radios, high-power walkie-talkies, and low-power walkie-talkies.
By this time, the entire battle was coming to an end.
The battlefield was filled with dense craters, countless broken limbs, and burning Japanese tanks.
In 10 minutes, more than 300 artillery pieces fired salvos, and tens of thousands of artillery shells were dropped, and it was still in such a small terrain.
Not many of the more than 7,000 Japs from the two regiments are left.
Then they were besieged by more than 10,000 soldiers from four directions. In just 10 minutes of hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese were almost wiped out.
When Li Yunlong came to the battlefield with the ghost head sword, there were not many living ghosts in sight.
Looking around, I saw a bloody Japs fighting with several Eighth Route Army soldiers in the distance.
Commander Li's loud voice was immediately heard: "Get the hell out of the way, this devil belongs to me."
Several soldiers fighting with the Japanese quickly stepped aside when they heard the commander-in-chief's voice.
The opponent was a Japanese officer. His epaulettes were stained red with blood, and his military rank could not be seen.
However, this Japs held a samurai sword in both hands. Even though he was wounded, he could still hold on under the siege of four Eighth Route Army soldiers.
"Commander-in-Chief, it seems that this devil has a lot of skills, so let me do it."
Lu Yingjun quickly stopped Li Yunlong and said.
Li Yunlong glared: "Go away, you kid, please step aside. Who doesn't know your title, Lu Yingjun, Killer of a Hundred Men?"
"A well-fed man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry. I haven't chopped off a Japanese soldier's head for a long time. Why are you joining in the fun?"
After Li Yunlong glared and yelled like this again, Lu Yingjun didn't dare to stop him.
Although Lu Yingjun is very capable, he is also afraid of Li Yunlong. Except for Zhao Gang, everyone in the New Regiment is afraid of Li Yunlong.
However, Lu Yingjun quietly took out the mirror box and opened the nose of the plane. If Li Yunlong was in danger, he would kill the Japanese without hesitation.
With his marksmanship, he could definitely put a bullet into the Japanese soldier's head before he chopped off Li Yunlong's head.
Li Yunlong raised his sword and walked towards the Japanese. The Japanese turned around and saw Li Yunlong, holding the command saber in both hands and slashing at Li Yunlong.
"Xinei!"
As Li Yunlong was advancing, he had already made the move of drooping the blade of the blade in front of his left leg, with the back of the blade facing the Japanese, and the blade facing him.
Seeing the Japs slashing at him with a knife, his eyes flashed sharply, and the Ghost-headed sword in his hand quickly rose.
"Ding!" With a sound, the heavy blade blocked the command saber in the Japs officer's hand.
"Not good!" A thought flashed through the mind of the Japanese officer. When the Eighth Route officer swung his sword, the blade was already in place...
The Japanese officer didn't have time to think too much, Li Yunlong's blade had already swung out a 180-degree killing radius at lightning speed.
There was only a popping sound, and a blood arrow shot out. The Japs officer's head flew ten feet away, and the blood arrow from his neck spurted out more than a foot high.
Li Yunlong dodged the bloody arrows that shot out from the Japs officer's neck at an extremely fast speed. His movement was so elegant that Lu Yingjun couldn't help but cheer.
The Japanese officer's headless body lay crooked like a wooden stake in a shell crater.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yingjun couldn't help but sigh, "I'm such a good boy, but the leader is more skilled at beheading than me."
Commander Li looked at the Japanese officer who fell to the ground and looked extremely satisfied.
This sword technique is a unique skill he learned from Zhang Dabiao. It has proven to be successful after repeated trials. The 29th Army's broadsword team's edge-breaking sword technique is indeed powerful.
After cutting off the head of a Japanese officer, Commander Li immediately felt comfortable. The last time he cut off a Japanese officer's head with his own hands was during the Battle of Shota.
At this time, Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa and Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong appearing in the middle of the battlefield, and they all came over immediately.
As the battle ended and the two Japanese regiments were completely wiped out, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army cheered for joy.
Kong Jie's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile: "This battle was so damn enjoyable. Two Japanese divisions were severely damaged in three days."
"Yes!" Ding Wei said with emotion: "Our Eighth Route Army in the Tai March Military District has become famous this time. Now, who dares to say that our Eighth Route Army wanders without attacking?"
Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and said: "Commander-in-chief, this time I want to thank you for setting up the stage and letting us sing a big show. What we killed today was not an ordinary Japanese army, but the guards of the little Japanese emperor!"
Li Yunlong grinned: "This is nothing. The big battle is still coming. Then you will know what a real large-scale battle is."
"Commander-in-Chief, will there be another battle next?"
Ding Wei asked in a deep voice.
"Listen, the battle over there is not over yet. If we move faster, we can still pick up some meat to eat."
Kong Jie said as the rumble of cannons came over.
"Commander-in-Chief, please quickly give the order to support Xiantian."
Cheng Shifa also said to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong said: "There are 11 regiments over there in Yitiantian besieging a Japanese regiment, so we don't have to join in the fun."
"Let me tell you," Kong Jie said, "The logistics supplies of the 2nd Japanese Guards Division should be in Heshun County. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Heshun County in one fell swoop."
"It is not difficult to capture Heshun County," Li Yunlong said, "but there are still two reinforced Japanese brigades heading towards Xiangyuan, Licheng and Changzhi."
After a pause, Li Yunlong said: "The terrain here is relatively narrow. With so many of us here, the Japanese planes will be a living target when they arrive. Send me an order. Each attack group will leave one battalion to speed up the battlefield cleanup. The rest of the soldiers will go to the nearby mountains."
hidden."
Although the Japanese plane was not as powerful as the plane he called.
However, the power of aerial bombs is much greater than that of artillery shells. One explosion will cause a large area, so safety comes first.
"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison, turned and left.
At this time, Zhao Gang arrived with a large number of militiamen. The militiamen carried stretchers. When they saw an injured Eighth Route soldier, they carried them onto the stretcher and then sent them to a field hospital.
When Li Yunlong saw Zhao Gang, he quickly hid the bloody sword behind his back.
Lu Yingjun quickly stepped forward and took the big knife calmly.
"Still hiding it? I've seen it all."
"Did your kid take advantage of my absence to leave his post without permission and participate in hand-to-hand combat?"
Zhao Gang asked with an unhappy tone.
"What do you mean?" Li Yunlong said unhappily, "Lv Yingjun, is there such a thing?"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, there is no such thing!" Lu Yingjun answered simply, "I cut off the head of that Japanese officer."
Li Yunlong gave Lu Yingjun a knowing look, and then turned to look at Zhao Gang: "Look, I just said there is no such thing."
"Lv Yingjun, you thick eyebrows and big eyes, have you learned to tell lies with open eyes? I saw it with a telescope on the top of the mountain. Our commander-in-chief is very sharp with his sword. He chopped off the head of the Japanese officer with one knife."
Zhao Gang said angrily: "After this battle is over, I will take care of you two."
Li Yunlong laughed: "It's still very dangerous here. If the Japanese plane comes again, it will be bad. We have to leave as soon as possible."
When he arrived at the hiding place, Li Yunlong took the high-power walkie-talkie from Huang Erhu's hand and put it to his ear: "Call the headquarters, call the headquarters..."
…
At the same time, the General Headquarters.
The high-power walkie-talkie next to me came out with a buzzing sound, and the operator quickly picked it up.
"The leader of the report is Captain Li Yunlong."
The boss and chief of staff were watching the battle with binoculars. The division commander walked to the high-power walkie-talkie and picked up the walkie-talkie to answer the call.
After a while, the division commander covered the microphone and said loudly: "Boss, Chief of Staff, the battle on Li Yunlong's side is over. Three Japanese regiments have been wiped out. He asked what to do next!"
The boss sounded surprised: "It's over so soon?"
The chief of staff raised his watch and looked at it, with the same surprised tone: "It's only been more than half an hour since the bombardment. Those were 10,000 elite Japanese soldiers, not 10,000 pigs. Even if they were 10,000 pigs, they wouldn't be killed so quickly.
The Taihang column severely damaged two Japanese divisions, and the results were great."
The boss turned around and got off the ladder, staring at the map and thinking for a moment.
At this time, there are two ways to choose. One is to order the Taihang column to pursue the remnants of the 2nd Guards Division and take advantage of the situation to capture several county towns such as Yushe, Liaoxian and Heshun.
At this time, the main force of the Japanese still had two reinforced brigades, rushing to aid Changzhi, Xiangyuan and Licheng.
Once these two brigades reach Changzhi, Xiangyuan and Licheng, the troops there will be in great danger.
What's more, the Eighth Route Army's tank battalion and three artillery regiments are still there.
The boss chose the second path without hesitation and said domineeringly: "Order the Taihang column to immediately go to Xiangyuan, Changzhi and Licheng to coordinate the troops in these three counties. If the Japanese 14th Brigade and 18th Brigade are still
If you dare to continue to reinforce, then eat another brigade!"
