In the circular fortifications on the top of Lijiapo Mountain, Yamazaki sat on a sandbag. He held a sword with a golden hilt in his hands. This was the Chrysanthemum Army Knife given by the Emperor of the Meiji Era. It was his beloved heirloom.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain had stopped attacking. Yamazaki said to the signalman beside him,"
" Send a telegram to Commander Shinozuka Yoshio. The Yamazaki Brigade has occupied a favorable terrain. They have sufficient ammunition and food, and the soldiers have a high fighting spirit. It won't be a problem for them to hold on for another three to five days. After the reinforcements have surrounded the Eighth Route Army, the Yamazaki Brigade will bloom in the center of the Eighth Route Army base area, recover the base area in one fell swoop, and wipe out the Eighth Route Army.”
The message was transmitted to the outside world through radio waves. For a time, the entire North China region became lively.
The battle that took place on the unknown hill of Lijiapo made the commander of the Japanese forces, General Nishio Shouzao, the commander of the First Army in Northwest Shanxi, Shinozuka Yoshio, and the commander of the North China forces, Tada Shun, pay close attention to the military map. A division and three exploration teams of Japanese reinforcements were approaching Lijiapo at night, trying to form a huge encirclement around the base of the Eighth Route Army. He intended to take over the base of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi.
For Yamazaki himself, he wanted to make a name for himself in this battle.
"Sir, the Chinese are digging?”The Japanese soldiers at the front line discovered the Independent Regiment's intentions and immediately reported to Yamazaki.
"Nani?"
Yamazaki immediately perked up and looked down with his binoculars at the front of the trench. As expected, he found the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who were working on the soil.
As an outstanding commander who graduated from the Imperial Army University, Yamazaki naturally understood what the Chinese soldiers were trying to do.
They wanted to shorten the attack distance by using the method of soil excavation!
"Baka Yalu!"
"Order the artillery to fire immediately!" Yamazaki roared.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The artillery of the Yamazaki Brigade opened fire. Dozens of artillery shells and grenades fired from the artillery cannons and grenade launchers smashed into the frontline attack troops of the Independent Regiment. Dozens of soldiers who were digging in the first battalion could not dodge in time and immediately died in the explosion.
At the same time, the artillery of the 386th Brigade launched a counterattack against the Japanese soldiers at Lijiapo. Dozens of artillery shells fell from the sky like black crows and landed in the Japanese's fortifications. The Japanese soldiers were instantly blown up.
Under the cover of the artillery, Zhang Dabiao led the 1st Battalion to speed up the digging.
In the Independent Regiment command post, Li Yunlong held his binoculars and closely watched every move on Li Jiapo's position. When he saw the brigade artillery fire at the Yamazaki unit, he was so excited that he punched the sandbag and said,"Motherf * cker, if the explosion was good, we should have used mortars to deal with these bastards.”
"Report!"
At this time, Chen Weidong got a megaphone from a political worker and came to the regimental headquarters.
"Come in!"
Li Yunlong said without turning his head.
"Reporting to the regiment commander, the independent regiment's cook, Chen Weidong, requests an audience!”
Chen Weidong walked into the crude command post and stood straight in front of Li Yunlong like a javelin. He said loudly,""Regiment Commander, I want to shout to Yamazaki on the other side to distract the Japanese and buy some time for the brothers in the first battalion.”
"Oh? Shout to Yamazaki?"
Li Yunlong's interest was piqued. He put down the binoculars and looked at Chen Weidong up and down with great interest."I remember now. Aren't you the bookworm Chen Dajia who joined the army a while ago? The one that Wang Degui wanted to feed the pigs in the kitchen.”
" You have a good memory, Leader!" Chen Weidong grinned." It's me!"”
Li Yun Long was also interested." Tell me, what do you want to shout at Yamazaki?"”
Chen Weidong looked around and whispered something into Li Yunlong's ear.
Hearing that, Li Yunlong rolled his dark eyes, and a cunning look appeared on his face. He could not help but raise his eyebrows and pat Chen Weidong's shoulder, exclaiming,""Heh, you're really a fucking genius, kid. We'll do as you say, go!”
Chen Weidong ran out of the regimental headquarters excitedly with a metal megaphone in his hand. He ran along the trenches of the 1st Battalion that were digging, cleared his throat, raised the metal megaphone in his hand, and shouted in fluent Japanese to Yamazaki, who was at the main position of Li Jiapo,"
"Captain Yamazaki, listen up. The commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong, knows that you are from a warrior family and are proficient in swordsmanship. However, our commander Li believes that your country's swordsmanship is only the surface of our country's swordsmanship. It was taught by our master's wife. This was already determined in the Tang Dynasty. So "
Bang! Bang!
The sniper couldn't hold it in any longer. He fired two shots at the metal horn, causing Chen Weidong's hand to go numb. However, he didn't stop shouting.
"If you value your honor as a warrior, you can leave the fortifications. Our Regiment Commander Li is willing to have a duel with you. Regiment Commander Li promises with his honor as a soldier that if you lose to your sword, the Independent Regiment will immediately stop attacking and make way for your army. If you lose, please surrender to the Independent Regiment. Our Eighth Route Army will treat prisoners well and guarantee the safety of your soldiers. Otherwise, we will destroy you on the spot!”
"Baka Yalu!"
In the circular fortifications of Li Jiapo's main camp, Yamazaki's face was livid. Chen Weidong, who was shouting, was so angry that he jumped up and down. He pulled out his commanding knife and roared,"Kill, kill, kill!"
Da da da, da!
A series of bullets from the Type 92 heavy machine gun shot over. This time, Chen Weidong's iron horn was directly turned into a sieve, and it could no longer make a sound.
In the Independent Regiment command post, Li Yunlong raised his binoculars and grinned."Hahaha, this kid really has a way. Yamazaki can't sit still anymore, hahaha!”
At the side, Political Commissar Zhao Gang was both angry and amused. He said,""Regiment Commander Li, do you really think that you are a knight from the Middle Ages? Why do you always want to duel? What if that old devil Yamazaki really walks out of the trenches to duel with you?”
Li Yunlong smiled slyly and said,""Chen Weidong from the kitchen had already given me an idea. If I failed to defeat Yamazaki, my head would have been removed. I can make way for Yamazaki, but will you, Political Commissar Zhao? It's your business if you don't give way, but you can't say that I don't keep my word, hehe!”
Zhao Gang was so angry that he laughed. He couldn't help but sigh."How f * cking cunning of a farmer!”
At the same time, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion had already moved to a place only 30 meters away from Li Jiapo's main position. The 360 people in the battalion each carried a basket containing 10 grenades.
With Zhang Dabiao's order, every soldier of the 1st Battalion grabbed a grenade and pulled Lasol in their hands, waiting for the signal to start the attack.
Bam!
A red signal flare rose into the air, and the general attack began.
