The charge began. Li Yunlong led a battalion of soldiers to charge against the Japanese attacking infantry squadron.
Under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the first battalion were prosperous during the period, and they were even more fearless when charging. In addition, in order to cover the charge of Li Yunlong and others, the independent regiment opened up its firepower, catching the Japanese by surprise, and allowing the Japanese to attack the independent group.
The regiment's fire suppression was somewhat relieved.
The Japs had no defense. It was only when Li Yunlong and a battalion of soldiers successfully broke into the Japs infantry squadron and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Japs infantry squadron that the Japs commander reacted.
Japs commander Tada Banri looked coldly at Li Yunlong and others who were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the infantry squadron, with a cold light in his eyes. He did not expect that Li Yunlong would lead the troops to launch a counterattack, which was beyond his expectation. In Tada Banri's view, Li Yunlong
The others can still hold on long enough while hiding on Cross Ridge.
Now, Li Yunlong took the initiative to launch a charge, which was undoubtedly a death penalty. Just looking at the Japanese soldiers who kept retreating in the hand-to-hand combat, Tada Banri looked a little ugly. The performance of this infantry squadron in the hand-to-hand combat was too poor. Soon
, among the Japanese reserve team, a Japanese infantry squadron quickly rushed out and rushed towards the location where Li Yunlong and others were.
Banri Tada did not want to fail in hand-to-hand combat, hoping to encircle and annihilate Li Yunlong and others who dared to charge. He was a little curious about Li Yunlong and others. Until now, he still did not know which unit of the Eighth Route Army was on Cross Ridge. In Cross Ridge
During the attack, the Japanese have not captured any soldiers of the Independent Regiment. Even if they unfortunately fall into the hands of the Japanese, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment will actively seek death and will not give the Japanese any chance to learn about the Independent Regiment.
"Koizumi-kun, haven't you found out which force is defending the cross ridge?" Banri Tada said to the staff officer beside him, Ichiro Koizumi.
Koizumi Ichiro has a pair of thick eyes and looks a little old, but the sparkle in his eyes can make people understand that he has enough combat experience to assume the position of staff officer. In fact, this is the case.
In the entire First Army, Ichiro Koizumi is somewhat famous, even if he is only a small staff officer.
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, we have not captured this Eighth Route Army unit alive yet, but judging from its military uniforms, it should be a unit of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Judging from the firepower displayed by this Eighth Route Army unit, this Eighth Route Army unit should be a unit of the Eighth Route Army
The main force of the 129th Division has very strong firepower. If an ordinary infantry brigade encounters such an Eighth Route Army unit, I am afraid it will not be a match." Koizumi Ichiro said.
Although he failed to learn more information, Ichiro Koizumi also made careful enough observations during the battle. Whether it was from the firepower displayed by the independent regiment or the fighting will displayed by the soldiers of the independent regiment, he could see that
The combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment is not weak. In addition, the Independent Regiment also has an artillery unit. An ordinary infantry brigade is really no match for this Eighth Route Army unit.
"The troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army? I remember that among this group, the troops of the 386th Brigade are the most famous and have the most powerful combat effectiveness. They are deeply feared by the troops of our First Army."
"Koizumi-kun, is it possible that this unit is a unit of the 386th Brigade? Judging from the escape route of the Eighth Route Army during the previous raids, their 386th Brigade should be closest to Liao County." Tada Banri thought for a moment and speculated.
Suddenly, Ichiro Koizumi was stunned. After Banri Tada reminded him, he found that this possibility was really possible, and the possibility was very high!
Koizumi Ichiro suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Yunlong and others who were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. He could see that the hand-to-hand combat was very fierce, with people on both sides dying at all times. Looking at Liu Gen and others who were being defended by Japanese soldiers, Koizumi Ichiro found that such a scene seemed like
Somewhat familiar, under the circumstances of being surrounded, this Eighth Route Army unit dared to carry out a counterattack. The 386th Brigade seemed to have such an Eighth Route Army commander with such a style.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, maybe I know the origin of this Eighth Route Army unit." Koizumi Ichiro suddenly said.
Tada Banri was a little surprised. He frowned and looked at Koizumi Ichiro next to him, wondering what kind of inference Koizumi Ichiro had made. Tada Banri was a little confused as to what was the basis for Koizumi Ichiro's inference. At the same time, he also wanted to
Know the origin of this Eighth Route Army unit defending on Cross Ridge.
"Koizumi-kun, please tell me your inference directly. I really want to know more information about this Eighth Route Army unit." Tada Banri said solemnly.
Five hundred meters away, Li Yunlong and others were fighting continuously with the Japanese soldiers. The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were not afraid of hand-to-hand combat. What's more, the 1st Battalion was the most powerful battalion in the Independent Regiment. In hand-to-hand combat, they were not much weaker than the Japanese soldiers.
.In addition, Li Yunlong and others had long been prepared for hand-to-hand combat with the Japs. The soldiers killed many Japs the moment they came into contact with the Japs.
Even though the Japanese have once again added an infantry squadron, due to terrain restrictions, the infantry squadron reinforced by the Japanese cannot easily approach the position of Li Yunlong and others. It seems that Li Yunlong and others are surrounded, but in fact, Li Yunlong and others still have a way out.
, that is to return to Cross Ridge.
The firepower of both sides was still competing. Due to the hand-to-hand fighting, Li Yunlong and others were entangled with the Japanese soldiers, so the Japanese firepower could only continue to attack the independent regiment's defensive position. As for shooting at Li Yunlong and others, the Japanese could not
Unless they want to give up the Japs who are fighting with Li Yunlong and others.
But on such a battlefield, it is impossible for the Japanese to do this, and it is impossible for the Japanese commander to issue such a battle order. Shooting at Li Yunlong and others will inevitably lead to the death of many Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers can die when Li Yunlong and others
You just can't fall to the guns of other Japs. Otherwise, where will the Japs soldiers dare to charge next time?
During the hand-to-hand combat, Li Yunlong and others had no idea of retreat for the time being. Li Yunlong knew the situation very well. As long as these Japanese soldiers did not retreat, he would not easily retreat with a battalion of soldiers. What's more, in a hand-to-hand combat with these Japanese soldiers,
It is still within the defense that Li Yunlong can accept, and with the combat effectiveness of a battalion, there is no need to worry that the soldiers will be afraid of hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.
On the cross ridge behind, Zhao Gang had been paying attention to the situation of Li Yunlong and others. When he saw that Li Yunlong and others temporarily stabilized their steps and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, he became even more worried about Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong's strength is good, but Li Yunlong's age
When he is older, he cannot compare with younger soldiers. After joining the Eighth Route Army for so many years, Li Yunlong was injured many times. As he gets older, his physical fitness cannot be maintained.
However, in order to avoid problems with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang also specially prepared the artillery company for battle. Once the situation became critical, the artillery company would decisively launch artillery bombardments on the Japanese artillery positions and firepower points to attract the Japanese's attention and cover Li Yunlong and others.
of retreat.
Zhao Gang knew very well the consequences of doing so. He hoped that he would never let the artillery battery fire. With the performance of the Japanese and the number of Japanese artillery, once the artillery battery opened fire, the Japanese artillery would definitely find the artillery battery in the shortest possible time.
position, and then launch an artillery counterattack against the artillery company. By then, the lives of the soldiers in the artillery company will be in danger.
Banri Tada learned about the location of the Japanese command post from Ichiro Koizumi. After listening to Ichiro Koizumi's inference, his face became a little pale, but he did not expect that he would encounter the 129th Division's 386th Independent Brigade.
Regiment this troop.
In the entire First Army, there are many who don't know about the Independent Regiment, but as long as they are some Japanese officers who pay attention to the battle, they will definitely know Li Yunlong, or have a certain impression of the name Li Yunlong. This is the case with Tada Banri,
He knew Li Yunlong, and he even knew the achievements of Li Yunlong's independent regiment.
The special agent team failed several raids, and the Sakata Regiment, the Yamazaki Battalion, the battlefield observation group, etc. all suffered heavy losses at the hands of the independent group. The special agent team, in particular, failed several combat missions due to the independent group. This
Let Banri Tada always want to fight Li Yunlong, proving that he is no worse than Kazuki Yamamoto!
In the Japanese First Army, there are not many people who can easily become colonel-level officers like Yamamoto Kazuki. Even if there are some, they have extremely good military exploits. Only Yamamoto Kazuki does not have enough military exploits to enter the first army.
After joining the First Army, Kazuki Yamamoto directly became Colonel, which made many officers in the First Army very unconvinced.
If the special agent team formed by Yamamoto Kazuki can achieve certain results in several combat operations and prove the capabilities of the special agent team and himself, then the officers of the First Army will not have any ideas. It is a pity that Yamamoto Kazuki fought several times.
The operations all ended in failure, especially when the battlefield observation group came to observe the performance of the special agent team, which resulted in the battlefield observation group being annihilated by the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
After several failed battles, the special agent team had to prove its ability. However, the destruction of the battlefield observation group became the last straw for the Japanese special agent team. After that, it was difficult for the special agent team to prove its ability again.
By chance, the special agent team has also become a laughing stock in the eyes of many First Army officers.
For most officers of the First Army, the record of the special agent team under the leadership of Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki means that if they are asked to do it, they will definitely be able to do it. This makes them have some opinions on Yamamoto Kazuki. Among these officers
In their opinion, as long as they prove that they are more capable than Kazuki Yamamoto, then maybe they can be promoted to colonel.
Since Kazuki Yamamoto can appear in the First Army, why can't this lucky person be them? Banri Tada is one of them. He is eager to find the Eighth Route Army troops who have defeated the special agent team to prove his ability.
, even if you can't get promoted in a short time, you can still get more attention.
The Independent Group is undoubtedly Tada Banri's best target. During the sweep, Tada Banri wanted to find traces of the Independent Group and successfully kill the Independent Group. However, because the 36th Division had other arrangements for Tada Banri, Tada Banri was unable to
He always regretted that he had to take time off to look for traces of the Independent Regiment.
Now, Tada Banri no longer has any regrets. His face is ferocious, and there is a deep look of surprise in his eyes. Anyone can see his ambition.
"Koizumi-kun, you did a good job. If it weren't for your reminder, then I wouldn't have realized that this Eighth Route Army unit defending on the Cross Ridge would be an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army! Very good! Really good!" Banri Tada was arrogant.
He said with a smile. Tada Banri did not take the Independent Regiment seriously. Even though the Independent Regiment had always performed well in combat effectiveness, he did not think that the Independent Regiment would pose much of a threat.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, all this is just my guess. For the time being, we cannot confirm that this unit is the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army! If it is really this unit of the Eighth Route Army, then the strength in our hands may still be somewhat insufficient." Koizumi
Ichiro didn't feel too happy, he still remained calm.
Koizumi Ichiro has never seen the battle of the special agent team, but he knows that the Japanese soldiers in the special agent team are the elite of the elite. Even if they are limited by the strength of the troops, they are undoubtedly compared with the combat effectiveness of an infantry brigade, but the special agent team also has its own
The advantage, at least in terms of flexibility, is unmatched by the infantry brigade.
Coupled with the fact that the special agent team has the most advanced weapons and equipment from Germany, in a close collision, perhaps an infantry brigade will not be an opponent.
In any case, for the sake of caution, in order to ensure that this unit, which is likely to be an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, is completely eliminated, it would not be the best choice to call for reinforcements. In the current battle, their side has the advantage, but who
Knowing what other methods this Eighth Route Army unit can use? If it is really an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, then it will probably be even more troublesome.
"No! Our infantry brigade is enough to kill this so-called independent regiment!" Banri Tada refused directly.
Koizumi Ichiro wanted to say something, but just as he was about to speak, he felt a cold gaze falling on him, and he suddenly had no idea of persuading him. Koizumi Ichiro was sure that if he opened his mouth to say something again,
Then Banri Tada would definitely scold him directly.
After following Banri Tada for so long, how could Ichiro Koizumi not know his character? In this regard, Ichiro Koizumi can only hope that the battle will go as smoothly as Banri Tada thought, without any objections.
Looking towards Li Yunlong and others who were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, Koizumi Ichiro hesitated. He felt that Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent group, was likely to be among them. However, thinking of Banri Tada's character, he finally gave up the idea of speaking.
It's wonderful to say.
At this time, Li Yunlong, who had just killed the Japs, was rushing towards other Japs. He did not know that someone had guessed the identity of the independent group, and even guessed that he was probably in the charging team. During the battle, Li Yunlong had no time.
Thinking about this matter, hand-to-hand combat is too dangerous. Even if Li Yunlong is experienced in fighting, he would not dare to lose his mind.
The Japs were constantly being hacked and killed by the soldiers of the first battalion, and some soldiers unfortunately died in the fight. The hand-to-hand combat continued, and after half an hour, the outcome of the hand-to-hand combat became somewhat clear.
