Chapter 266 Huge crisis, the independent detachment will be annihilated
The Major Captain of the Sixth Independent Infantry Brigade commanded the troops to move quickly and they abandoned the Huting stronghold.
After the new regiment captured the Huting stronghold, they did not continue the pursuit. Instead, they quickly swept the battlefield and set up defensive positions.
The artillery that originally supported the operations of the New Regiment and other units also began to receive orders.
Li Yang and Sun Xiong commanded the artillery battalion and began to support the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment to intercept the Japanese and puppet troops' attacks.
The cavalry battalion completed the breakthrough mission, but they did not pursue it. Instead, they sent a cavalry reconnaissance platoon to attack and tried to contact Wei Monk's reconnaissance platoon.
For Chen Ziyun, the next battle is not to annihilate how many Japanese and puppet troops, his goal is the Japanese battlefield observation group!
At 10:55, the headquarters of the Third Independent Mixed Brigade received a detailed report.
After Major General Shigeharu Yanashita, commander of the brigade, learned that the Huting stronghold had been lost, he went into a rage directly inside the brigade headquarters.
After all, this time he also hoped to let the battlefield observation group understand his command capabilities through the tenacious defensive operations of the Huting stronghold.
As long as the observation group gives a report, he will definitely be able to be promoted to military rank.
However, Ding Wei of the New Second Regiment commanded various units to strengthen their defenses. They re-adjusted their defensive positions with the artillery battalion as the core.
However, he immediately contacted the 12th Reserve Regiment in the Kangjia Town area and asked them to quickly support the operations in the Huting stronghold area.
"Hey, hey, brother Ziyun, your discovery is incredible."
Snipers were hiding in different locations. They pulled the triggers and fired bullets one after another.
Li Yunlong personally found Ding Wei and gave detailed instructions.
Ding Wei had a solemn expression on his face and said directly.
He directly conveyed the situation reported by Monk Wei to Li Yunlong.
At the same time, the Japanese and puppet troops under the command of Nobuki Kojima continued to attack. The Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were unable to mobilize excess troops to come over for reinforcements.
"The Third Independent Mixed Brigade has assembled about 3,000 troops northeast of the Huting stronghold. They are also paying attention to the Huting stronghold."
After taking the Huting stronghold, the new regiment quickly swept the battlefield.
Agent Yamamoto had a solemn expression on his face. He raised his telescope to observe and said with a little anger in his tone.
Chu Yunfei was somewhat reluctant to Chen Ziyun's risky combat operations. After all, the artillery battalion was very important.
Ding Wei commanded the main force of the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the 358th Regiment Artillery Battalion to conduct defensive operations.
They all carried radios and advanced along the east and west directions respectively.
Of course, Li Yunlong also emphasized one point, that is, the safety of the Li Yang Artillery Battalion must be ensured no matter what.
The Yamamoto special forces continued to storm the Huting stronghold, and the Second Battalion stationed at the stronghold resisted desperately.
"The observation group is already on the way. The battle at the Huting stronghold must not be just a performance by the Yamamoto Special Agent Team and Kojima Nobuhiro's troops."
Based on all aspects of intelligence, Yamamoto Kazuki was almost able to make a judgment.
However, all the main forces of the Yamamoto Special Agent Team were dispatched. They did not have many troops, but their overall strength was strong.
"I don't know the specifics, but one thing is certain, what they did is definitely earth-shattering!"
At eleven o'clock, after careful consideration, Yanashita Shigeharu began to issue combat orders.
For a while, fierce gunfire sounds continued, and several positions of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were in a precarious state.
"It is impossible for Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong, and Chen Ziyun to stay in the Huting stronghold with such a small number of troops!"
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Wei learned about the situation at the Huting stronghold and quickly dispatched a company to come over for reinforcements.
But thinking of the results Chen Ziyun had achieved time and time again, Chu Yunfei still agreed.
Of course he didn't know what was going on here in Yuanping City, but Chen Ziyun knew it!
Now Chen Ziyun is waiting for Li Yunlong's words. He will definitely destroy the little devil's battlefield observation group.
The Japanese and puppet troops who went to support the battle in Kangjia Town began to return, and Kojima Nobuhiro began to assemble the main force to attack with all his strength.
There was no problem with the decision made by the Major Captain, but the loss of the Huting stronghold was unacceptable to Yanashita Shigeharu.
"At the same time, send troops to search around quickly. Maybe we can find the Jinsui Army cavalry and the Eighth Route New Regiment."
It was at this time that Kojima Nobuki gathered a lot of troops.
Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong both took risky combat actions in their previous battles.
Chen Ziyun here is commanding the cavalry battalion, guard company, and reconnaissance platoon directly under the 358th Regiment to conduct operations.
The four rapid-fire cannons fired one after another, and each armor-piercing projectile accurately knocked out the heavy machine gun of the second battalion.
The general-purpose machine guns of the machine gun squadron fired accurately.
He handed over the command of the troops to Ding Wei, the leader of the New Second Regiment, and asked Ding Wei to unified command the troops for combat.
"What on earth was Lao Li doing? Isn't he taking the troops to Yuanping City at this time to disperse the troops and give the Japanese and puppet troops a chance to annihilate them one by one?"
"Have they withdrawn to the Xuying Village and Baijia Village areas for defense?"
The Japanese Special Operations Group 1, equipped with eight tanks and supported by 20 artillery pieces, attacked from the flank.
The troops on both sides fought fiercely. Because the artillery battalions provided artillery support, the Japanese and puppet troops were unable to break through quickly for the time being.
The little devils nearby naturally didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't give an answer.
However, not long after they left, the Hutei stronghold was directly raided by the Yamamoto special agent team!
"What is going on and why the military strength here has been significantly weakened."
Compared with Japanese troops, it is difficult for other troops to do this.
The troops from both sides fought fiercely at the Huting stronghold. As the battle started, Yamamoto Kazuki immediately realized that something was wrong.
The Sixth and Seventh Independent Infantry Brigades, the First Division of the Imperial Association Army, and the artillery team directly under the brigade began to assemble in the northeast of the Huting stronghold.
Even he knew that the bunkers and gun towers had been destroyed, and the Japanese and puppet troops could only rely on defensive trenches to resist.
The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult for these troops to evacuate.
Of course, although he could think of this, he would not have thought that they were going to the battlefield observation group.
"Bagaya Road, they only have a few hundred troops. Where are the other troops? Where did they go?"
The Eighth Route Army did not even have many bullets for field troops, so how could they provide bullet training for new recruits?
"Otherwise, under such circumstances, they would not divide their forces to carry out combat operations."
Snipers like the little Japanese are all special shooters drawn from various ministries. Kazuki Yamamoto conducted intensive training for these special shooters.
It has been 40 years now, these little devils who have undergone rigorous training have experienced combat baptisms again and again, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.
So he contacted the third independent mixed brigade and asked them to stay put and search for these troops to intercept them.
As we all know, the training of the little devils is very strict, and they will train with a large amount of live ammunition.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Lin Zhiqiang commanded three battalions to advance quickly and were about to arrive near the battlefield.
The casualties and losses of their troops also continued to increase, and some heavy weapons were also destroyed.
Kong Jie, the leader of the independent group, quickly found Ding Wei and said with a solemn expression on his face.
After all, the main force of Yamamoto's special agent team is gathered together, and they have a certain number of artillery.
"The main force of the Eighth Route New Regiment is here at the Huting stronghold, as well as the cavalry of the Jinsui Army."
"With such a large number of troops, if they were all moved to Baijiacun and other areas to fight, Kojima Shinko's troops would definitely be able to discover them."
Yamamoto Kazuki speculated that they were fighting deep into Yuanping Castle because they wanted to threaten the independent mixed third brigade and coordinate the defensive operations here.
The attacking Japanese and puppet troops were shelled, the intensity of the attack weakened, and they also suffered casualties.
He will not let these troops fight in a defensive battle. At critical times, they can quickly break into pieces and disperse to fight.
But at this time, Yamamoto's special agent team took combat action.
"But they can't be sure whether Chu Yunfei and others are commanding the operations on their side."
"The Yamamoto special agent team also appeared near the Huting stronghold, which obviously means that officers like Chu Yunfei are here."
After all, the 48th Independent Brigade was sent to support the independent detachment in combat. If they suffered casualties, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Immediately contact the troops of the independent mixed third brigade and ask them not to take action and to stay in place for defense."
Chu Yunfei arranged for Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui to command the ninth battalion, and the tenth battalion stayed at Kangjia Town.
"In addition, the troops here have begun to take action and are advancing towards the Huting stronghold with all their strength. They obviously want to recapture the Huting stronghold."
So now he wants to command the troops to go over quickly, so as to quickly launch a combat strike and completely kill Li Yunlong and others.
For a while, Li Yunlong became very interested. He thought that there must be a big fish about to appear here.
The two troops will go deep into Yuanping City to fight in depth, so as to carry out combat strikes against the battlefield observation group.
Not long after, as Ding Wei issued the order, Sun Xiong began to command six Type 94 mountain guns to fully support the battle at the Huting stronghold.
Here, Chen Ziyun also reported to Chu Yunfei immediately via radio.
Fortunately, dozens of cavalrymen were scattered nearby to guard the area. After the special team raided, the cavalry troops quickly issued a warning.
"According to their report, they found that troops left the Huting stronghold, but where they went, they don't know yet."
And he will quickly assist the Kojima Shinhsing troops and bring devastating blows to the main force of the independent detachment operating in the Huting stronghold, Xiying Village, and Baijiacun areas.
The two forces acted jointly, and they fought deep into the hinterland of Yuanping City.
Although the Jinsui Army's ammunition is still sufficient, the number of live ammunition for the new recruits is far less than that of the little devils.
Under the attack of various weapons of the special forces, their casualties are still increasing.
But now that the Huting stronghold has been lost, one can imagine Yanashita Shigeharu's anger.
Up to now, the 14th Puppet Army Regiment in Kangjia Town has quickly evacuated, and the 12th Preparatory Regiment has recovered Kangjia Town.
Li Yunlong commanded the first battalion, and the mountain artillery company secretly advanced from the east; Chen Ziyun commanded the cavalry battalion, and the guard company secretly advanced from the west.
"Maybe if we fight over there, we can kill the little Japs and some of the officers."
Under such circumstances, quickly evacuating to preserve the strength of the troops is definitely the best choice.
However, the Yamamoto special agent team is very strong. Even if the 2nd Battalion was shelled, it would only temporarily relieve the pressure.
"Xiaojima Shinhsing's troops are still attacking fiercely. It is difficult for the two regiments of the Eighth Route Independent Detachment to stop them. This force may break through quickly."
Many soldiers of the second battalion were hit by them one after another and died on the spot.
The troops of the Second Battalion reacted quickly to avoid a sneak attack and fell into a passive situation.
However, before this company reached the Huting stronghold, it was attacked by Yamamoto's special agent team.
Brigade Chief of Staff Lin Zhiqiang commanded the 7th Battalion, 8th Battalion, and Machine Gun Battalion to rapidly advance towards the Huting stronghold to establish contact with the independent detachment.
"All ministries quickly gathered in the northeast of the Huting stronghold. At the appropriate time, we must quickly counterattack the Huting stronghold."
Time passed bit by bit, and the troops on both sides were mobilizing their troops.
Their mission is to ensure the safety of the artillery battalion!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Jiro Harada of the Assault Squadron quickly came to Yamamoto Kazuki and gave a quick report.
By now the total casualties of the new regiment were quite large. Li Yunlong originally planned to capture the Huting stronghold and end the battle quickly.
Then the best among these special shooters can be selected to become a sniper.
Yamamoto Kazuki frowned. He opened the map and marked it, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Moreover, after capturing the Huting stronghold, Chen Ziyun also came over immediately to report.
These puppet troops directly attacked and fought from the front. They launched wave tactics and repeatedly attacked.
Yamamoto Kazuki's judgment was correct. Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun were indeed at the Huting stronghold at this time.
The special agent team continued to attack. Facing such an elite force, the Second Battalion was a little overwhelmed.
After all, the operations of the battlefield observation group were confidential. Not to mention Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong, most of the Japs troops did not know that they would appear on the battlefield.
"Lao Li and Commander Chen Ziyun acted together. They made a major discovery."
But now the situation has changed. Behind them, a large number of Japanese and puppet troops are attacking.
"Whether there is or not, since we have encountered it, let's go over and have a look."
Snipers like the Yamamoto Special Agents can easily hit targets accurately at a distance of four to five hundred with the help of scopes.
Even some snipers can hit the target at six or seven hundred meters!
Eighteen snipers under the three assault squads and nine assault squadrons showed super strong combat strength.
The troops of the Third Battalion of the New Regiment began to advance towards the Japanese and puppet troops and launched guerrilla operations to assist in the defense.
Yamamoto Kazuki had a solemn expression on his face, and he decisively issued the order.
After repeated investigations, Yamamoto's special team locked the location, and he believed that Li Yunlong and others must be at the Huting stronghold.
In addition, the new regiment at the Huting stronghold has also gradually transferred troops to serve directly as guerrilla troops.
At this time, the only ones remaining at the Huting stronghold were the 2nd Battalion of the New 1st Regiment and Sun Desheng's Cavalry Company.
For a time, the second battalion troops stationed at the Huting stronghold were in danger, and they might be completely annihilated at any time.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong began to make a series of deployments at the Huting stronghold.
"Even if we can't recapture the Huting stronghold, we still have to achieve certain results!"
Li Yunlong, on the other hand, commanded the mountain artillery company directly under the new regiment, and the first battalion advanced into Yuanping City.
Now Kazuki Yamamoto believes that these two people are likely to quickly advance into the depths of Yuanping Castle to fight.
"Maybe, there can be officers with the rank of colonel."
"Lao Kong, the second battalion cannot be annihilated. I will go to the artillery battalion position immediately and ask them to deploy artillery to support the operation!"
"And if the Japs capture the Huting stronghold, we will be attacked from two sides. With their strength, we cannot stop them."
In one encounter, the infantry company rushing to the rescue had dozens of casualties.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyun ordered the artillery battalion to provide artillery support, and Li Yang and Sun Xiong commanded twelve mountain cannons to bombard them one after another.
Li Yunlong is a very daring person. He is planning to lead his troops deep into Yuanping City to launch combat operations.
But even though the troops were passively being beaten, the Second Battalion did not flinch at all. They had a very tenacious fighting willpower.
He sent a series of telegrams, severely reprimanding the major commander who was commanding the battle.
The 60MM mortar and 82MM mortar of the mortar squadron fired shells one after another.
Kojima Nobuhiro also adjusted his deployment. He began to send small groups of troops to conduct infiltration operations, preparing to destroy the artillery battalion.
"Your Excellency Captain, we have been in contact with Lieutenant Colonel Nobuhiro Kojima and the independent mixed third brigade unit."
Both armies suffered casualties and losses, and their total strength was only a few hundred.
They began to make secret detours and headed straight for the Huting stronghold.
"His Excellency Nobuhiro Kojima called back. They have indeed discovered that the Eighth Route Army has increased its defense strength."
For a while, the troops from both sides were still fighting fiercely, but the troops commanded by Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun had quietly left the Huting stronghold.
As for Sun Desheng's cavalry company, it has no advantage at all against the special agent team equipped with submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles and a large number of machine guns.
"Unless they advance deeper into Yuanping City, Kojima Shinko's troops will not be able to discover it."
"Old Ding, we can't continue the fight like this. If the second battalion of Huting stronghold is annihilated, we will have no way to meet with Old Li."
As long as these troops are in danger of being annihilated, Yamamoto Kazuki will be absolutely sure to completely attract Li Yunlong's troops and Chen Ziyun's troops back.
"Once they attack the Huting stronghold and our brigade loses the Huting stronghold and they recapture it, it will be our greatest shame."
The First Regiment and the Second Regiment of the Imperial Association Army assembled more than 3,800 troops and eight Jin-made 13-type 75MM mountain guns, which directly promoted the support operations.
The cavalry battalion broke through from the flank and rushed directly to the dormitory. Once the dormitory was lost, the Japanese and puppet troops in the defensive trenches would become turtles in the urn.
At this time, the independent detachment and other troops were in a huge crisis, and they were in danger of being annihilated.
As long as the independent mixed third brigade troops defend on the spot and search with all their strength, Li Yunlong's troops and Chen Ziyun's troops will definitely be discovered.
Since they were blocked, they could no longer threaten the battlefield observation group.
Yamamoto Kazuki has the brains to continue the fight as it currently is.
In this battle, the independent detachment commanded by Li Yunlong, the artillery battalion commanded by Chen Ziyun and other units will all be at risk of being annihilated!
