Li Jiapo, the Japanese army position.
Yamazaki Haruhira, whose face was covered in dirt, was resting on a bunker with his sword in hand.
He had led his troops to repel the Eighth Route Army's attacks many times in a row, which had exhausted the old devil.
At this moment, a lieutenant beside him brought over a water bottle and handed it to Yamazaki Haruhira.""Sir, more and more Tubo soldiers are surrounding us. The situation seems to be getting worse.”
After taking two sips from the kettle, Yamazaki Haruhira said confidently,""Jingxia Jun, there is no need to panic.
On the surface, we are surrounded by the Chinese army.
But in reality, our reinforcements have already formed a huge encirclement around Li Jiapo.
As long as we hold this place and wait for reinforcements.
At that time, they could bloom in the center and attack from both inside and outside with the reinforcements.
They would be able to wipe out the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in this area in one fell swoop and create a great result.”
"Ha Yi!" The lieutenant named Inoue kowtowed heavily in agreement with Yamazaki Haruhira's analysis.
Yamazaki Haruhira returned the water bottle to him and asked,""Since the start of the war, how many times has Tuba Road been beaten back by us?”
Lieutenant Inoue answered as he screwed the lid on the kettle,""Seven times. Their equipment is very poor and their firepower is very weak.
We lack heavy weapons, plus we have the advantage of terrain.
Therefore, every attack has been unsuccessful. I estimate that we have already destroyed at least 500 Tubas.
There are countless injured."
Yamazaki Haruhira didn't show too much joy. Instead, he said emotionally,""Although these Tu Ba troops are poorly equipped, their firepower is far inferior to the Imperial Army.
However, his fighting style was as fierce and valiant as the warriors of the empire.
This alone was enough to prove that they were a group of opponents worthy of respect.”
Lieutenant Inoue nodded without any objection.
"How far away are the nearest reinforcements?" Yamazaki Shuhei asked.”
"Less than 80 kilometers, but they have been blocked by the other Tu Ba armies and are pushing forward at full speed!”Lieutenant Inoue said.
"Send a message to General Shinozuka and ask him to urge the reinforcements to come as soon as possible. Our ammunition consumption and personnel losses are not small.
Reinforcements must arrive as soon as possible!"
"Ha Yi!" Lieutenant Inoue responded and turned to look for the signalman.
At this moment, a loud and clear charge horn sounded from the foot of the mountain again.
When Yamazaki Haruhira heard this voice, he tensed up again.
He quickly got up and picked up the binoculars hanging around his neck to look ahead.
Through the binoculars, Yamazaki Shuhei could clearly see it.
A large number of soldiers in grayish-blue uniforms were rushing toward them.
Deafening battle cries were heard.
"Baka!" After putting down the binoculars, Yamazaki Haruhira immediately pulled out his sword.
He brandished the military saber in his hand with all his might as he ordered sternly,""Fire! Open fire!"
As a strengthened Japanese battalion, the Yamazaki Battalion was equipped with eight additional 60mm mortars.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army was lacking in heavy weapons.
It was definitely a huge threat. After all, some regiments did not even have a mortar.
When Old Li was in the New Regiment, he only had one mortar, Wang Chengzhu.
After all, Old Li was one of the main forces of the 8th Route Army.
From this, it could be seen that these eight mortars were already a very powerful artillery force.
The 386th Brigade's previous attacks had failed mostly because of the eight mortars, which had caused huge casualties to the attacking troops.
Following Yamazaki Haruhira's order, the Japanese soldiers were already prepared to fire.
They immediately loaded the high-explosive grenades that they had prepared in advance into the mortar barrels.
Tong tong…Eight rounds of high-explosive grenades were fired with a muffled sound.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…It brought with it a trail of scorching flames and ear-piercing screeches as it poured toward the front of their camp.
On the ground, hundreds of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were charging with their guns fell one after another in the explosion.
However, none of these brave soldiers retreated.
Instead, they were even more fearless and rushed forward.
However, just as they were about to approach the Japanese trenches…
Yamazaki Haruhira, the old devil, immediately waved his military knife and shouted at the top of his lungs,""Shoot! Shoot!"
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers opened fire at the Japanese soldiers.
For a moment, gunshots were heard on the battlefield of Li Jiapo.
The offensive and defensive sides launched an unusually fierce battle.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers who were feigning an attack were shot down one after another, and the casualties increased rapidly.
On the 772nd regiment's side, several waves of commandos failed to break through the Japanese firepower.
He could only endure the pain and give the order to stop the charge and stop the attack.
The brigade commander who was at the front of the enemy's command post saw this scene and immediately cursed angrily,"Motherf * cker, how is this war fought?
What about the independent regiment? Has the independent regiment arrived yet?"
Just as the Chief of Staff was about to answer, a guard company commander suddenly ran in from outside.
"Reporting to the brigade commander, the independent regiment has arrived!"”
"Where's Chen Liang? Tell him to come and see me quickly!" The brigade commander immediately turned around and waved his hand anxiously.
