Thirty miles north of Liao County, Li Yunlong and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment successfully reunited with the 772 Regiment.
At this time, the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment were busy laying mines, making traps, etc. In order to delay the Japanese troops who were going south for reinforcements as much as possible, the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment laid a large number of mines and traps on the way south.
During this period, the Independent Regiment experienced a lot of battles, and so did the 772 Regiment. There were less than 500 soldiers from the 772 Regiment who came to block the Japanese reinforcements, and some of them were injured. The Independent Regiment attacked the Japanese.
In Liao County, the 772 Regiment was not idle either. Commander Cheng led the 772 Regiment to kill several Japanese strongholds.
If he had not received the order from the division headquarters, Commander Cheng might have continued to lead the 772 regiment to attack the Japanese strongholds. There was no other way, and the landlords had no surplus food. After the frequent battles during this period, the ammunition of the 772 regiment was running out.
The Japanese strongholds can be supplemented to some extent.
After all, compared with the Eighth Route Army fighting, the Japs are equipped with more bullets. Each Japs can carry at least 120 rounds of ammunition. When there are frequent battles, they carry more bullets. In the eyes of Captain Cheng and Li Yunlong
, the Japanese are like living ammunition carriers, they have them all delivered to their mouths, and it is naturally impossible not to eat them.
"Cheng Xiazi, you first lead the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment to lay out mines and traps. The soldiers of our independent regiment have just attacked the Japanese Liao County and need to take a rest." Seeing Commander Cheng, Li Yunlong said directly.
Captain Cheng nodded. He could see the state of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. Based on the situation of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, it would be impossible for them to directly engage in things like laying landmines and making traps.
Even if the soldiers are forcibly ordered to do this, the soldiers of these independent regiments will not be very efficient.
What's more, Captain Cheng also knew how difficult it would be to fight against the Japanese in the county seat. From the number of soldiers Li Yunlong brought, he knew that the independent regiment also suffered a lot of casualties in order to capture the county seat of Liao County.
"Leave this kind of matter to our 772nd Regiment. Your independent regiment will rest first." Commander Cheng said directly.
Li Yunlong took the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to rest. With the 772 Regiment here, there was no need to worry about safety. Li Yunlong was very relieved about the 772 Regiment led by Cheng Xiazi. He just took a look and he could
It can be seen that Cheng Xiazi has done everything he can.
Cheng Xiazi did a good job in laying mines, making traps, and building blocking positions. It was also because there were no bridges in this area, otherwise Cheng Xiazi would definitely blow up the bridges directly to block the Japanese reinforcements.
"Genzi, take the artillery company and rest for a while. I'm afraid it won't be long before Japanese reinforcements arrive." Li Yunlong told Liu Gen.
Liu Gen nodded. He knew that the Japanese were coming from the direction of Heshun. Heshun was less than 40 kilometers away from Liao County. With the Japanese marching speed, there was not much time left for the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment. Only the Independent Regiment
Soldiers who have just experienced combat are prone to problems if they do not take a certain amount of rest.
"Commander, I will first observe the surrounding terrain and find a suitable artillery position before choosing to rest." Liu Gen said.
Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen. After careful observation, he could see that Liu Gen was not very tired.
"Okay, then you go ahead, take the monk with you and pay attention to safety." Li Yunlong explained.
Liu Gen shook his head, "Commander, the monk must be a little tired when he leads the soldiers to charge. I can just walk around here by myself. With the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment here, I will definitely not encounter any danger."
Li Yunlong looked around, trying to find the monk's figure. Finally, after seeing the monk lying on the ground and sleeping, he could only nod.
As the leader of the group, Li Yunlong could not lead the soldiers to charge, and Zhang Dabiao's injury had not yet recovered, so he had to let the monk lead the soldiers to charge. It must be said that the monk was a born warrior, and he was at the forefront every time he charged.
, the one who killed the most Japanese.
"Okay, then you kid, be careful and come back directly if there is any danger." Li Yunlong nodded and said.
Liu Gen left Li Yunlong's figure and looked around for a suitable place for the artillery company. There were not many artillery shells in the artillery company. In the next battle, the artillery company needed to use every shell to play its due role. There could not be any
of waste.
A good enough artillery position can help the artillery company better bombard the enemy, and in addition, it can avoid being discovered by the Japanese artillery. Constantly looking for a suitable artillery position, Liu Gen wandered behind the 772nd Regiment. He could see the 772nd Regiment.
The soldiers of the regiment are carefully preparing defensive positions.
The choice to use positional warfare to block the Japanese reinforcements was also because there was no suitable terrain in this area to conduct harassment operations against the Japanese. There were mountains on both sides of the road from Heshun to Liao County, but it was too far away from the road. If a harassment war was carried out,
It is difficult to influence the devils.
Therefore, if you want to stop the Japanese reinforcements, you can only choose to fight a positional battle with the Japanese!
Half an hour later, Liu Gen found several suitable places as artillery positions. Considering the issue of retreat, the places he found were relatively hidden and would not be easily discovered by the Japanese during the retreat.
As for whether the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment could directly kill the Japanese reinforcements, Liu Gen did not hold out much hope. The combined strength of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment was less than 800 people, and the Japanese dropped them from the Heshun direction.
The reinforcements were an infantry brigade, almost equal in strength to the two regiments.
In addition, the soldiers had just experienced a battle and were not very energetic. The artillery battery did not have enough remaining shells. It was undoubtedly impossible to kill the infantry brigade that the Japanese came to reinforce. Liu Gen could also see the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment.
During the digging of trenches, several trenches were dug out, but Commander Cheng did not think that it would be possible to directly kill the infantry brigade reinforced by the Japanese.
There is no way, who made the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment go through too many battles. Such many battles have reduced the combat effectiveness of the two regiments a lot. The troops are not enough, and the equipment is not as good as that of the Japanese. When fighting, how can they be the enemy of the Japanese?
Woolen cloth?
Returning to the place where the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were resting, Liu Gen could see that the soldiers were all asleep. The battle to attack Liao County tonight had consumed too much of the soldiers' physical strength. But when he looked at the soldiers, Liu Gen discovered,
There is no figure of Li Yunlong here.
Noticing this, Liu Gen walked quickly around. Where did Li Yunlong go? Why didn't he rest here? Looking around quickly, Liu Gen quickly found Li Yunlong's figure, but under the moonlight, Li Yunlong
