When Li Yun Long followed the attacking troops and rushed past the first line of Japanese soldiers, he saw Ye Ming ordering seven or eight soldiers from the 1st Battalion to pull the Type 92 infantry cannon away from the battlefield.
Behind them, many soldiers looked at the boxes of artillery shells and were also preparing to retreat from the battlefield.
In fact, the Type 92 Infantry Cannon was not very heavy. Two adults could pull it and run.
Li Yunlong rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he saw four Type 92 infantry cannons and a large number of cannonballs. He was so excited that he almost shivered.
He had thought that Ye Ming would be able to get one, and he would be able to burn incense.
He didn't expect Ye Ming to get four in one go. This shocked Li Yun Long greatly, and at the same time, he had a clearer understanding of Ye Ming's ability.
However, Li Yun Long was truly happy to see Ye Ming in perfect condition. This was more important than anything else.
Li Yun Long, who was beaming with joy, went up excitedly and gave Ye Ming a bear hug.
In fact, not only Li Yun Long was excited, even Zhang Dabiao, who was leading the 1st Battalion, was also excited. Of course, the warriors who were attacking the 1st Battalion were also excited.
Four Type 92 infantry cannons were not small and weak mortars. In the words of the soldiers of the 1st Battalion, the new regiment had never been so rich.
Therefore, when they saw the four cannons and a large number of cannonballs beside Ye Ming, a platoon of soldiers stopped attacking and helped to transport the cannons and cannonballs back.
Li Yun Long let go of Ye Ming and looked at the four cannons that were being dragged back by the soldiers. His eyes were shining.
Brother Ye, I'm happier than marrying a wife…"
Li Yun Long didn't ask Ye Ming how he was going to pull the four Japanese cannons from the Japanese's artillery position to this place because that wasn't important at all. What was important was that these four cannons would be of great help to the new regiment in the upcoming battle.
Ye Ming didn't take the initiative to explain anything when Li Yunlong kept praising him without asking about the process. He just smiled back.
As the four cannons were successfully moved out of the Japanese's position, the attacking battalion began to slow down their pace of attack.
"Old Li, can we directly attack the Japanese's third line of defense?”Ye Ming asked as he looked at the excited Li Yun Long.
Li Yunlong had already memorized the Japanese's defense structure. After hearing Ye Ming's words, Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said,""We're not prepared enough tonight. It's not good to fight with the Japanese. Keep pestering him."
Ye Ming didn't say anything else.
Looking at the momentum of the 1st Battalion, Ye Ming was looking forward to taking down the Japanese's third line of defense.
This was because the Japanese's third line of defense had a small hill on the right side of the main peak of the Gray Cloud Ridge. This small hill was just enough to bring the Japanese's Sakata United Army's command center into the visible range of the sniper rifle, and the distance was also reduced to less than 2,000 meters.
On this small hill, Ye Ming was confident that he could take out the Japanese's command center.
Ye Ming didn't insist after hearing Li Yunlong's words. After all, the new regiment wasn't planning to attack the Japanese's position tonight. They were more of a backup.
In fact, Li Yun Long did not expect Ye Ming to detonate so many bombs. The 1st Battalion's initial order was to receive Ye Ming. After successfully receiving Ye Ming, the pace of the attack suddenly slowed down and everyone began to retreat.
This also led to the Japanese defending from the rear. They were constantly sending reinforcements over. Under such circumstances, adjusting the attack order was not a small risk.
"Brother, don't worry. After blowing up the Japanese's artillery position, we have four more cannons. Let alone attacking the third defense line tomorrow, it won't be a problem even if we attack the Japanese's headquarters directly.”Li Yunlong said confidently.
Ye Ming didn't care much about it at first. After all, he was familiar with the plot and knew very well that without him, the new regiment could have taken down the Sakata United Command.
Now that he was here, the new team had an unprecedented advantage, so Ye Ming wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to meet the conditions for the second check-in.
By the time the Japanese had finally regained the frontline, Ye Ming and the others had already retreated to the new regiment.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Japanese Sakata United Army's command center became particularly oppressive.
Nobutetsu Sakata's face was dark as he looked at the brigade and squadron leaders in front of him with an unfriendly expression. A few minutes ago, he had personally given the order for the brigade leader and artillery captain responsible for tonight's defense mission to commit suicide as an apology.
Twelve cannons of the Artillery Brigade were destroyed, and all the shells were detonated. Moreover, under the attack of the 8th Route Army, the Sakata United Army had suffered two to three hundred casualties. This was an unprecedented defeat for the Sakata United Army, and it was a humiliation that could not be washed away.
"We must attack tomorrow and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army.”
Faced with Sakata Nobutetsu's words, all the officers present looked a little unconfident.
The artillery had been blown up, and the number of mortars that the entire regiment could provide fire support was not even as many as the 8th Route Army.
In addition, after the battle during the day, a large number of light and heavy machine guns had been destroyed by the enemy. At this moment, the firepower of the Sakata United Army was not even comparable to a regiment of the 8th Route Army.
A forced attack would definitely make the Sakata United Team pay a heavy price.
However, facing Nobutetsu Sakata, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, few people present dared to speak.
Only the wing's staff officer, Nakasuke Urato, stepped forward and said to Nobutetsu Sakata,""Your Excellency, should we launch a decisive attack tomorrow?”
After hearing Urasu's words, Sakata Shingtsu understood that under the situation where their firepower was greatly reduced, if they wanted to annihilate the other party, they could only charge forward.
However, after a day of battle, Sakata Shingzhe knew that the enemy commander was not a simple character.
Even if they could annihilate the main force of the 8th Route Army on the Gray Cloud Ridge, the Sakata United Army would still have to pay a hefty price.
A grand field regiment had to pay a huge price to take down the main force of the 8th Route Army. This meant that his position as a regiment commander was over.
"Tomorrow, I will personally send a message to the regiment commander to request for aerial support. Gentlemen, tomorrow will be our last chance to wash away our humiliation.”
Nobutetsu Sakata's fierce gaze swept across every subordinate present. Wherever his gaze landed, all of them stood upright with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. They said in unison,"Ha Yi, wash away your shame!"
