Even though Xue Li could easily kill the regiment commander and brigade leader, that was a decapitation plan. If they were to fight face to face, Xue Li's 30-odd men could only fight against 400 to 500 devils at most.
If they were to face the organized Japanese army, they would not be able to fight head-on. After all, there were too few people. The Japanese had a lot of light and heavy firearms.
All sorts of mortars, infantry cannons, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and the like were enough to suppress the firepower of Xue Li's thirty over automatic weapons.
Of course!
This was nonsense. Ever since the special forces appeared, they did not fight against organized enemy forces head-on. Instead, they used special tactics to pay the least price and use the easiest way to obtain the greatest results, such as beheading tactics, cutting off reinforcements, destroying traffic, delaying reinforcements, and so on. The effect of dozens of special forces was often unimaginable.
No idiot would use special forces to fight the enemy in positional warfare. At most, it would be an assault or an ambush. Those who fought in positional warfare were all idiots!
……
Did the system issue this mission to help Eight Paths? In fact, this was not the case. Instead, they were using the Eighth Route Army. Even without Xue Li, the Yamazaki Brigade would still be destroyed this time. However, would the Japanese army still take the wrong path next time?
If they didn't use this opportunity to mess up the situation in Jinxi with the Eighth Route Army, what would they do if the Japanese had free hands and sent a team to attack Xue Li? Using 30 people to fight against the alliance? Forget about positional warfare, even guerrilla warfare would result in a miserable death.
Therefore, they had to let the 8th Route Army fight the devils head-on. They had to let the devils understand the strength of the 8th Route Army as soon as possible and then start sweeping ahead of time. They wouldn't be able to spare too many people to deal with Xue Li. After all, Xue Li couldn't face a large-scale battle now.
As for some of the readers who said that they had turned around and attacked the eight routes, that was simply courting death. The millions of troops of the national army had chased the Red Army for so long, but they had finally given up. Did they really think that they could not catch up? It couldn't be destroyed? Bullsh * t! It was because they couldn't withstand the pressure from the whole country. It was the time of the war. The national army was completely in opposition to the people of the country. Even Jiang Jieshi couldn't withstand such huge pressure. Therefore, he was forced by the pressure of the whole country and began the so-called cooperation between the two countries.
Currently, Xue Li's reputation in the nine provinces of China was that of a hero who resisted the Japanese. If he turned around to deal with the Eighth Route at this time, the final result would be a temporary pleasure, and he would lose the opportunity to dominate the world in the future. The hearts of the people were always a double-edged sword! Without the support of the masses, even if your power grew by a lot in the future, you would still die miserably! Human wave tactics, drowning you in a mouthful of saliva.
Even if Xue Li disregarded the pressure and forcefully defeated the 8th Rank, the final result…was still destroyed by the 8th Rank. Do you think that the 8th Rank is very weak now? What a joke! He was one of the three major forces in the country. Other than Jiang Jieshi and Yan Laoxi, he was the most powerful. There was no other way. He had many people and supporters. He was just so willful!
Therefore, the best choice now was to use the 8th Route Army to fight against the devils and then secretly seek benefits. This was the best.
……
Li Jiapo.
The thousands of Japanese soldiers from the Yamazaki Battalion dug countless trenches and waited in the trenches, aiming their rifles at the enemy.
At this moment, more than a thousand soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had gathered at the foot of Lijiapo Mountain. They were arranged in a charging formation and scattered to avoid overlapping each other and blocking their own bullets.
"Charge!" As the bugle sounded, the regiment commander gave the order. One battalion attacked from the front, while the other two battalions flanked from the left and right. This was purely a ploy to cover up the path and secretly attack. It proved that it was a feint attack, and the left and right were the real attacks. The entire regiment's light machine guns were concentrated in the hands of these two battalions.
" Kill!!!" Thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army charged at Li Jiapo without fear of death.
However…
This was a foolish decision. There was a reason why the Yamazaki Battalion had set up a defensive formation at Li Jiapo. Behind Li Jiapo was a cliff, and only three sides could pass through it. Thousands of Japanese soldiers formed a semi-circular defensive circle, which was enough to withstand the impact.
As expected.
When the 8th Route Army began to charge, the Japanese did not choose to engage in a bayonet battle with the 8th Route Army. Instead, they immediately opened fire.
Da da, ten heavy machine guns, ten mortars, more than twenty heavy machine guns, and thousands of rifles completely taught the regiment commander a lesson. The 8th Route Army soldiers fell like wheat, one by one dying tragically. They didn't even reach Li Jiapo's waist before they were beaten down by the powerful firepower.
"Don't retreat, attack!" The eyes of the regiment commander turned red. He roared and led his men to charge again. In the end, he was still taught a lesson.
The firepower of the Japanese was truly terrifying. Bullets rained down from the hillside like a metal storm. In addition to the terrain advantage, the 8th Route Army soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In less than an hour, more than half a regiment had suffered casualties.
" Regiment commander, the brigade commander is calling…" The signalman shouted at the regiment commander despite the rain of bullets.
The regimental commander's face turned green and red. He knew that he was probably done for this time. This attack was indeed a mistake. In recent years, the Eighth Route Army had continuously won battles and last year's Hundred Regiments Battle had made him lose his mind. He was too confident in his opponent.
This time, the casualties of half of the regiment were only exchanged for 20 or so Japanese soldiers. This defeat was enough to make him bear the shame of his life, enough to make him lose his position as the regiment commander!
