Yamamoto Ichiki quickly began to move.
The 4th and 9th main brigade of the Japanese army were dispatched one after another.
They began to secretly gather at the Tiger Pavilion Stronghold.
After they had assembled, they launched a large-scale attack on the Wang Fortress, the encampment of the Independent Regiment, at lightning speed.
However, before the Japanese assault troops could reach the Wang Fortress…
They were discovered by the secret scouts sent by Zhao Gang and the security team.
After Zhao Gang received the news, he immediately ordered the entire team to enter combat mode.
He also sent Sun Desheng to lead the 3rd Battalion to reinforce the 2nd Battalion that was stationed at the southern highlands.
The atmosphere in the regiment command center became tense.
Zhang Dabiao, the Chief of Staff and the First Battalion Commander, pointed at the map and said to Zhao Gang,""Political Committee, according to the report of the reconnaissance team, the enemy has gathered at least a division of troops to attack us.
The situation is very bad!"
This was the first time Zhao Gang had faced such a serious situation since he joined the independent regiment.
Moreover, it was under the circumstances where Chen Liang was not around and he needed to command alone.
One could imagine how nervous and anxious he was.
However, he was still calm.”
"Two days ago, the liaison officer sent to the exploration department came back and said that he would be back in a few days. He should be on his way now.”
"After the Battle of Lijiapo, the enemy carried out a large sweep of our base.
The headquarters, division headquarters, brigade headquarters, and a large number of brotherly troops were all forced to move.
The way back for the regiment commander and the others is also further away from our base. They have to pass through the Japanese War Zone, so I'm afraid it will take a few days!”
Zhao Gang nodded and looked at the map.""Other than raising the vigilance of the entire regiment, we also have to think of a way to send out some contact soldiers.
Find the regiment commander and warn them to prevent them from bumping into the Japanese.”
"Political Committee, the enemy has surrounded us on three sides. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to send out the liaison." Zhang Dabiao disagreed.
However, we don't have to worry too much. Our regiment commander has more combat experience than us. He'll definitely notice the abnormality in advance and take evasive measures.”
"Yes." "What we need to do now is to defend ourselves to the death. We must stop the enemy's attack and defend our base." Zhao Gang nodded slightly.”
"Although we don't have many soldiers, we have solid fortifications and better equipment than the Japanese.
Just the 2,000 mines outside were enough to make the Japanese suffer!”
Zhang Dabiao said confidently when he thought of the American equipment that Chen Liang had bought.
……
The mobilization of the Japanese army naturally could not be hidden from the intelligence network of the Eighth Route Army.
In the Eighth Route Army headquarters deep in the Taihang Mountains, the Chief of Staff held a piece of information that he had just received.
He reported to the boss with a solemn expression, Boss, according to reliable sources, the enemy's 4th and 9th regiments have been dispatched one after another.
The vanguard of the army was aimed at the Wang Fortress where the Independent Regiment was located!”
"What?" The boss was shocked. He immediately walked to the map and looked at it."Two exploration teams? Are they all going for the independent regiment?"
The chief of staff nodded with a grim expression.
"It seems that the enemy is determined to destroy the entire independent regiment.”the CEO said.
"During this period of time, the Independent Regiment has made many military achievements. The enemy has long regarded them as a thorn in their side.
However, he had mobilized two exploration teams and an army of tens of thousands of people to attack them.
It was still too unexpected.”
The boss made a prompt decision." Inform the Independent Regiment immediately. The enemy is too powerful to be fought with force. Retreat immediately to avoid their sharp edge!"”
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements now." The Chief of Staff nodded.
However, not long after, the Chief of Staff returned.
"Boss, the situation is very bad. The 386th Brigade has called back and said that the enemy is moving too quickly."
They had already surrounded the Independent Regiment's encampment, and they could no longer contact the Independent Regiment.”
"What about Chen Liang? Has he returned to the encampment?" The boss raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Probably not." "Our radio station is only at the division and brigade level. The troops below don't have radio stations at all," the chief of staff said.
Therefore, it's very difficult for us to contact the independent regiment now.”
"Then send a liaison soldier and infiltrate in disguise. No matter what, we have to find a way to contact the Independent Regiment.
In addition, order the other divisions of the 129th Division to immediately attack the enemy's territory.
Forcing the enemy to return to support and coordinate with the Independent Regiment to break out!”
The boss immediately made arrangements with a solemn expression.
In the eyes of the boss, after a series of propaganda, the Independent Regiment had long become a flag of the Eighth Route Army.
This was why the Japanese army would send troops to encircle and suppress them at all costs.
Therefore, no matter what, the independent regiment had to be preserved.
……
Other than the two main exploration teams that were attacking directly, Yamamoto Ichiki personally led more than 120 special forces elites under his command.
They avoided the main battlefield and plunged into the mountains behind the Wang Fortress.
The fatal flaw in Yamamoto Ichiki's words about the independent regiment was in this mountain.
It turned out that the Yamamoto Secret Service Team had discovered a secret path leading to the Wang Fortress through reconnaissance.
Of course, for ordinary people, this path did not exist.
This was because if they wanted to launch a sneak attack from this direction…
First, they had to climb a cliff that was dozens of meters high, and then pass through the primeval forest covered in thorns.
However, this was an opportunity for the Yamamoto Special Agent Team.
Because Yamamoto was certain that there was such a natural terrain advantage.
The 8th Route Army would most likely not set up defenses in the direction of the back mountain, as long as he could lead his troops over the cliff and through the forest.
They could then launch a fatal attack on the independent regiment from behind.
It could be said that as long as his ambush plan succeeded, the independent regiment would definitely be wiped out.
