"In a short period of time, the Japanese reinforcements will not be able to reach us. The 14th Regiment of our division occupied Shi Nao Mountain, where they blocked the reinforcements of the Japanese Independent Regiment and the 4th Brigade." Li Yunlong looked solemn at the temporary headquarters of the Independent Regiment.
.
In order to destroy the Japanese railways, stations and surrounding road traffic as soon as possible, the two battalions of the Independent Regiment have devoted themselves to such work. Together with the militiamen from the county brigade and district squads who came to assist, as well as the organized masses, in this area
There are thousands of people in the area busy dismantling the Japanese railways.
But even if there were so many people doing this, the speed of destroying the Japanese railway was still not fast enough. Li Yunlong kept scanning the map, trying to find other suitable targets for attack. In the end, Li Yunlong chose to give up.
They are all friendly troops. It is undoubtedly impossible for the Japanese stronghold to continue to hold on with the presence of so many Eighth Route Army troops.
In the artillery company, Liu Gen led the artillery company soldiers to conduct regular training. Every soldier was very serious in the training. This was especially true for the artillery company soldiers assigned to each company last night. They all understood why they could control
Mortars destroyed the Japanese strongholds as quickly as possible.
In order to ensure that the soldiers of the artillery company have enough physical strength to participate in the battle at any time, Liu Gen has reduced the intensity of training the soldiers a lot. The soldiers of the artillery company are quite unaccustomed to such a small intensity, and if Liu Gen hadn't forced the order
If they are like this, they may take the initiative to increase the intensity of training.
One day passed, and all the surrounding Japanese strongholds were controlled by the troops of the 129th Division. The western section of Zhengtai Road was paralyzed. Faced with the sudden attack by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese in North China were unprepared.
Some of the Japs were mobilized and attacked along Zhengtai Road.
On August 26, the Independent Regiment received an order from the division headquarters and took the initiative to attack the Japanese troops who came to support the Zhengtai Railway. After the order was issued, Li Yunlong could not see much excitement on his face, knowing that reinforcements from the Japanese troops would be coming soon.
Li Yunlong could imagine how many battles the Independent Regiment would face next.
Judging from the news received by the division headquarters, the Japanese troops coming to reinforce the Zhengtai Road include 4 infantry battalions of the Japanese independent 4th Brigade, 3 infantry battalions of the 9th Brigade, etc. The furious North China Front Army Headquarters is
Japanese soldiers from various departments were constantly mobilized. This time the Eighth Route Army's actions caused too much damage to the Japanese army, which was unacceptable to the North China Front Army.
At the same time, the Japanese 36th, 37th, and 41st Divisions in southern Shanxi were also preparing to move north to support the Japanese in the battle on Zhengtai Road.
"The next enemy our regiment needs to face should be the 9th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army from the direction of Yuci. The Japanese who come to support include three infantry battalions. Needless to say, their combat effectiveness is not strong. The only ones who came are the infantry battalions.
, our independent group may be able to eat him." Zhao Gang said.
Li Yunlong nodded. He knew that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese independent mixed brigades was naturally much lower than that of the elite Japanese army. These were Japanese garrison troops, and the equipment they were equipped with was incomparable to that of the elite troops. Moreover, the Japanese army
The quality of the Japanese soldiers in the independent mixed brigade varies greatly, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong.
Of course, even if he knew that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese independent mixed brigade was not strong, Li Yunlong did not dare to have the slightest contempt. He could not take it lightly when facing the Japanese.
"Genzi, how are you? Can your artillery battery kill the Japanese artillery in the shortest time?" Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen and asked.
Liu Gen nodded vigorously and said affirmatively: "Captain, don't worry, the artillery company will go all out to kill the Japanese artillery in the shortest possible time!"
If he wants to kill an infantry battalion of the Japanese independent mixed 9th brigade, the artillery company needs to play a sufficiently important role in it. Li Yunlong does not want his independent regiment to be folded here in order to kill an infantry battalion of the Japanese. As for killing the Japanese at the same time,
Three infantry battalions, Li Yunlong had never had such an idea. He had no appetite for fighting like this, and he knew he couldn't eat it.
"Report to the brigade commander that our independent regiment wants to eat meat and let the brother troops have a sip of soup." Li Yunlong said.
Zhao Gang nodded. He knew what Li Yunlong meant. It was not a simple matter to kill the infantry battalion of the 9th Independent Brigade. Once the independent regiment attacked one of the Japanese infantry battalions, the Japanese from other directions would inevitably come.
support.
No matter how powerful the independent group is, it cannot fight against so many Japanese at the same time. Now to report to the brigade commander, it needs the support of the brigade commander.
"Old Li, it seems that you really want to do something big this time! However, Old Li, I want to remind you that there are many battles ahead, and we must prepare enough ammunition and supplies in advance." Kong
Jie looked at Li Yunlong and said with a smile.
Li Yunlong nodded, he naturally knew this, "In the following battle, save ammunition as much as possible, and also pay attention to collecting ammunition."
"Our independent regiment doesn't have much capital. We can't lose all of it in this battle. Even if we lose it, we still have to earn new capital! However, the artillery company does not need to save artillery shells. As long as there are artillery shells
Just call it out, don’t save anything!”
"Yes!" Liu Gen shouted seriously.
Two days later, the independent regiment left Xinzhuang and headed in the direction of Yuci. The three battalions of the Japanese independent mixed 9th brigade were still on the way. Li Yunlong didn't have the patience to wait for them to come over, so he might as well go directly to them and kill them! What if?
If these Japs successfully arrive, there will be some trouble.
After the independent regiment set off, the soldiers of the cavalry company were in front, and they had war horses. It was okay to let them temporarily act as scouts. With the soldiers of the cavalry company scouting in front, Li Yunlong directly deployed the scouts five kilometers away. According to Li Yunlong's words
He said that he had never deployed scouts so far away.
On September 3, the independent regiment successfully arrived in the northwest of Yushe, where it successfully merged with Cheng Xiazi's 772nd Regiment. When he knew that he was going to cooperate with Cheng Xiazi, Li Yunlong didn't say anything. He knew that Cheng Xiazi was still leading the troops.
If you have some skills, the 772nd Regiment's combat effectiveness is not weak.
The 772nd Regiment is also the main force of the 386th Brigade and has killed many Japanese. Li Yunlong usually competes with Cheng Xiazi for combat missions, but this time there was no problem for the two to cooperate.
Not long after the independent regiment arrived, Ding Wei successfully arrived in this area with the new regiment. When he knew that the three infantry battalions were going to attack the Japanese independent 9th Brigade, Ding Wei was a little excited. He took the initiative to ask for it.
Come. As an old comrade of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei knows Li Yunlong's character very well. Li Yunlong will not do anything that is not beneficial at all.
In addition, the independent regiment led by Li Yunlong has strong combat effectiveness and is equipped with an artillery battery. Naturally, Ding Wei wants to come and eat!
