Just when Colonel Kuji Nonaka felt flustered, accompanied by a burst of passionate bugles, countless Eighth Route Army soldiers in gray military uniforms suddenly came out from both wings. It turned out that Li Yunlong personally led the reinforcements, and rushed to the front.
It is the most elite special agent company in the whole regiment, and the leader Li Yunlong is among them.
If the first battalion is the sharp knife of the independent regiment, then the secret service battalion is the sharpest tip of this sharp knife.
Although there are only over a hundred people in the secret service company, they are all equipped with MP40 Schmeisser submachine guns, and these submachine guns were obtained by Li Yunlong after a long period of hard work with Gao Hongming.
When more than a hundred elite soldiers, each armed with a submachine gun, rushed into the position and fired at the Japanese cavalry, the Japanese cavalry, who had been almost exhausted from the previous charge and fighting with the infantry, were hit by a desperate attack from a company.
, was already holding on with the last courage, but now the battlefield situation has changed drastically. With the sudden addition of the new force of the special agent company, the last trace of courage of the Japanese cavalry was instantly defeated.
The Japanese cavalry regiment retreated.
This scene was both beyond everyone's expectations and at the same time expected.
"Captain... we... won!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Dabiao roared loudly with tears of excitement in his eyes, as if he was venting the long-repressed emotions in his chest.
The previous battalion used unimaginable courage to face a desperate blow from the cavalry, which broke the courage of the Japanese army and created conditions for repelling the Japanese attack. It severely damaged and repelled the Japanese attack with the strength of four infantry companies and one cavalry company.
This was the first time in the history of the Eighth Route Army that the Japanese cavalry regiment was twice the size of our own and fully organized.
Li Yunlong stood on the position without saying a word for a long time, looking at the position in front of him. The corpses of countless people and horses were scattered here and there, and occasionally there were some horses that had lost their owners. They were mourning among the corpses, and the thick smoke was billowing from them.
Rising from the battlefield, straight into the air.
The smell of gunpowder smoke carried by the breeze was mixed with the thick smell of blood, covering the entire mountain. This scene all told the brutality of the battle.
But now is not the time to be sentimental. Li Yunlong immediately issued a new order: "Zhang Dabiao...hurry up to count the personnel and material losses, and be prepared to respond to the Japs' attack at any time!"
Soon, the losses were counted.
"Commander, our battalion has 233 killed and 62 wounded. We still have 4 heavy machine guns and 16 light machine guns."
"Damn it, the little devil's attacks are quite severe."
Even though Li Yunlong had been mentally prepared, he was still grinning. You must know that the 1st Battalion is the most capable unit of the Independent Regiment, and now half of it was wiped out at once. How could he not feel distressed?
"Baga...shame! An entire cavalry regiment was defeated by the Chinese army of less than a thousand people! This is a shame for the entire Imperial Japanese Army!" at the temporary command post less than a mile away from the first battalion position.
Here, Lieutenant General Miyazaki Shigesaburo, who had just arrived, looked through his telescope at the dead bodies scattered all over the Eighth Route Army positions. Miyazaki Shigenzaburo slammed down the telescope in his hand, and reprimanded loudly, even if he put down the telescope, Miyazaki Shigezaburo could
I clearly felt the dazzling scene in front of the Eighth Route Army position.
Miyazaki Shigesaburo originally thought that the thin defense line in front of him, which was hastily arranged by the Eighth Route Army, could be captured with just one charge, and then he could immediately lead the 31st Division to rush over and catch up with the retreating Chinese army, but now a cavalry regiment
As a result, Shigesaburo Miyazaki felt even more shame and anger caused by the fact that his team was severely damaged by the opponent.
As a division that has just been established a few years ago, the foundation of the Thirty-first Division is undoubtedly relatively weak. Shigesaburo Miyazaki has been working hard to prove that under his leadership, what the permanent divisions can achieve, the Thirty-first Division
A division can do the same.
For this reason, Shigesaburo Miyazaki set his sights on Gao Hongming.
Others don't know it, but Miyazaki Shigesaburo, a senior general, knows very well that despite the fact that few people in Japan today mention Gao Hongming and his Liantai militia, that's just because the Japanese high-level officials have issued a gag order, prohibiting local media and
The officers discuss the unit.
But many things cannot be solved by a ban. There is a saying in China that it is better to defend the people than to defend the river. The more you ban some things, the more people will discuss them.
Especially last year, after the 14th Division and the 108th Division were severely damaged by Gao Hongming with gas bombs and tens of thousands of people died, rumors spread in Japan that Gao Hongming was the reincarnation of the Chinese murderer Bai Qi.
Although this rumor is ridiculous, there are many people who can't help but believe it, especially the more remote the places, the more believers there are. Shigesaburo Miyazaki even heard that many vendors now make statues of Gao Hongming based on the photos published in newspapers.
Many Japanese families with relatives in China bought the statues and enshrined them in order to pray that the God of Death would be merciful to their relatives in a foreign country and allow them to return home safely. This trend is even getting stronger.
When a soldier of any country reaches the rank of major general, his future promotion path will become increasingly difficult, even more difficult than crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. If he wants to continue to be promoted, in addition to having someone above him, he must also
You must have outstanding military exploits.
Miyazaki Hansaburo, who has a strong desire for an official career, immediately became keenly aware of the opportunities. If he could defeat the Liantai Militia or kill or even capture Gao Hongming, his reputation would definitely reach its peak, and the Emperor would probably have to meet him.
Bar.
This is also the reason why Miyazaki Shigesaburo was determined to pursue the Chinese army after seeing it retreat, and even quarreled with the 33rd Division.
The world is bustling, everyone is here for profit, the world is bustling, everyone is leaving for profit.
In order to get promoted and make a fortune, how can we not take some risks...
However, Shigesaburo Miyazaki did not expect to receive a blow at the beginning of the pursuit. The two regiments acting as rearguards were so tenacious and firmly guarded several hills near the road.
In view of the slow attack speed of the infantry regiment, he sent out the cavalry regiment with the intention of eliminating the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the opponent was so tenacious. Not only did his cavalry regiment suffer heavy losses, but it was also driven back. This incident
If the Thirty-Third Division finds out about this, something else might happen.
After getting angry, Shigesaburo Miyazaki picked up the telescope and looked forward again, and found that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was cleaning the battlefield and digging for positions. His brows furrowed when he saw this.
After thinking for a while, Miyazaki Shigesaburo called the communications staff, "Immediately send a report to Commander Gangcun, saying that our division has been tenaciously blocked by the China Eighth Route Army, requesting for additional air support, and telegraphing the 36th and 3rd
The 17th Division, please allocate their artillery to us, I will blow the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side into powder in one fell swoop!"
