Wang Xuexin used this flexible defense tactic to repulse the Japanese charges time and time again.
The hills have always stood firm in the hands of the Seventh Company, so the Japanese have been unable to break through the Eighth Route Army's defenses.
Otherwise, the Japanese only need to set up a few machine guns or grenade launchers on the hills to easily suppress the Eighth Route Army's firepower, and even attack other battalion positions from the side and rear... The hills are facing the first battalion and
The side and rear of the Second Battalion's position.
Therefore, Li Yunlong gave Guan Dashan a death order: "If you lose Highland 73.7, come and see me!"
Guan Dashan immediately sent someone to inform Wang Xuexin: "If you lose Highland 73.7, come and see me!"
Wang Xuexin turned around and sent a correspondent to tell Zhang Qingcai: "If you lose Highland 73.7..."
We are finally a company commander, so we can at least pass the message on.
However, having said that, the situation is still not optimistic.
The Japanese arrived again with a group of reinforcements, estimated to be around 1,500 men. Coupled with tanks and armored vehicles, their firepower and strength far exceeded that of the independent regiment.
What's even more terrible is that at this time, the independent group's rocket launchers and directional mines were almost used, but the follow-up supplies were blocked by the Japanese... The independent group was actually surrounded by the Japanese.
But then another accident happened.
As noon approached, the Japanese army, which had been unable to be conquered for a long time, rushed to seek medical treatment. A dozen bombers were called in and bombarded the Independent Regiment's position indiscriminately.
The reason why it is said that the Japs "went to the hospital in a hurry" is because the positions of the Independent Regiment were full of smoke and dust. The Japs pilots could not see anything in the air, and all they could do was blindly bomb them.
But this random bombing had an effect... A shell hit the regiment's bunker right in the middle. Fortunately, the bomb was a small 98-pound bomb with a light explosion of 25 kilograms.
It only blew down half of the solid wood roof of the regiment headquarters. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were fine, but the communications corps and radio station were buried.
The soldiers dug out the communication soldier and the radio in a hurry. The communication soldier sacrificed one person and the radio was also damaged by falling solid wood.
As a result, the independent regiment completely lost contact with the headquarters.
The leader was so anxious that he took it for granted that the radio station of the Independent Group was out of order again, so he yelled on the spot: "This Li Yunlong, I told him to change the radio station a long time ago, so he was reluctant to spend the money to repair it if it broke!"
No, he slipped up again at a critical moment!"
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Chief, it's not like you don't know that if Li Yunlong is unwilling to carry out any orders, he will just excuse that there is a problem with the radio. So that broken radio is his treasure, how can he be willing to replace it!"
The leader "hummed" without answering, his eyes fixed on the point on the map where the independent regiment was.
After a while, he asked: "When is the fastest time for a certain division to arrive at Yucun?"
"Around ten o'clock tonight!" the chief of staff replied.
The chief nodded and said with a heavy expression: "I hope they can survive until then!"
Li Yunlong was dumbfounded when he found out that the radio station had been smashed.
Usually Li Yunlong really hopes that this radio station will malfunction.
It's great to have a faulty radio station. You can fix it when you want to contact the headquarters, but it breaks down when you don't want to contact the headquarters... Over time, the correspondent will also understand by heart when it should be broken and when it should be repaired.
But now is the time to contact us, how can we just say bad things?
Without saying a word, Li Yunlong grabbed a correspondent and shouted: "Fix it for me immediately! Move quickly!"
The correspondent checked the radio station and said awkwardly: "Captain, the transmitter is damaged, we don't have any parts..."
"Damn it!" Li Yunlong jumped when he heard this: "That's when I told me that there are no parts! Isn't that what you do? If you can't fix it, make one for me, otherwise it will be better than you..."
"Old Li!" Zhao Gang interrupted Li Yunlong with dissatisfaction: "What's this mess? Does this radio station say that it can be repaired or built casually? You are still fighting Japanese invaders, why don't you build one?
Get the rifle out?"
Li Yunlong said "Oh" and walked around the bunker with his hands behind his back like an ant on a hot pot.
No wonder Li Yunlong was anxious. The last order given by the headquarters was to stand still and wait for help.
However, it is not clear when the reinforcements will arrive, how to cooperate with the reinforcements in combat, etc. What should I do next if there is no radio?
Zhao Gang analyzed on the side: "Old Li, we can think about it this way. The headquarters sent us to reinforce Yucun, the purpose is to enable the Hundred Battle Regiment and the New Second Regiment to capture Yucun and successfully attack it. Based on this strategic purpose,
Once we know that the battle in Yucun has been won, we will have completed our mission and can break out!"
"The problem is that we don't know the battle situation in Yucun!" Li Yunlong kicked the broken radio station on the ground in annoyance and said, "If this radio station breaks down, we won't know even if the sky breaks down outside. New Second Regiment, Hundred Wars
The regiment can't pass the news in, so how will we know what the situation is? And how will we know when we can break through?"
After saying this, Zhao Gang was speechless.
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Gang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn't we surrender a Japanese tank?"
"I paid one!" Li Yunlong asked puzzledly: "Do you still want to drive a tank to the chief?"
"Is there a radio station up there?" Zhao Gang said, turning his attention to the correspondent: "If we can find a Japanese radio station or transmitter, can the radio station be repaired?"
The correspondent nodded firmly: "If we can find the parts, it can be repaired!"
"Then what are you waiting for!" Li Yunlong rushed out without saying a word. Before he could get out, he shouted: "Monk! Monk... where did you hide the tank?"
The monk who was on guard outside hurriedly ran over and replied: "Report to the leader, except for 73.7 Highlands, there is no other place to hide!"
There is only one mountain nearby, Highland 73.7, and there is a cave there.
That cave was dug by the common people to hide food... If the Japanese want to raid, it would be inconvenient to hide the whole family in the mountains and then take the whole family's food with them.
So the people came up with a way to dig a hole in the hill, hide all the food in it, seal the hole, and go up the mountain with some dry food.
There's no food in there at the moment, so it's just a good time to hide the tank for the monk.
The monk's eyes lit up when he heard Li Yunlong ask about tanks: "Commander, are you going to drive a tank to fight the Japanese?"
Then the monk patted his chest: "I am the only one in the group who can drive a tank, so let me get on!"
Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong casually hit him on the head: "Driving a tank, you don't know that the Japanese have six tanks? You can drive a tank and hit six of them? It's more like losing your life!"
As he spoke, he raised his head towards the correspondent and ordered: "Go and find parts with the monk!"
