At this time, the safest course of action was to lead the Guard Company, the Reconnaissance Company, and the Artillery Company to retreat.
This way, at least there would be no problems with the regiment command led by Chen Liang.
Even if the main force of the Independent Regiment trapped in the Wang Fortress was wiped out.
Then with Chen Liang and the others as the core, they could quickly rebuild the independent regiment.
However, Chu Yunfei knew that Chen Liang would not do that, because if it were him, he would not do it either.、
Thus, he looked at Chen Liang and remained silent.
For a moment, everyone looked at Chen Liang, waiting for him to make a decision.
Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Liang said in a deep voice,""With our current forces, we can forcefully attack the enemy's rear.
It was obviously impossible to attack from the front and back with the main force within the encirclement.
Moreover, we don't have a radio station with the main force, so we can't contact them to coordinate our actions.
However, it would not be a problem to take down the enemy's headquarters or artillery positions.”
"Brother Chen, could it be that you've made a decision?" Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up.”
"That's right. I've decided to take out the enemy's command center, then take advantage of the chaos to break into the encirclement and join up with the main force."
Even if they had to give up on the Wang Fortress, they would have to bring their troops with them.
Our Independent Regiment will never abandon our brothers, let alone our comrades.”
Wei Da Yong and Wang Huai Bao were excited and expressed their support.
"Regiment commander, you can give the specific orders!”
Chen Liang waved his hand and said," Don't be anxious. Monk, you have good skills. Bring a few agile brothers with me to scout."
He had to find out the location of the enemy's command center before taking action.”
After saying that, Chen Liang turned to Wang Huaibao, who had become the artillery company commander, and said,"Take the troops and stay behind. You must ensure the safety of Commander Chu and the others.”
"Yes, sir!" Wang Huaibao gladly accepted the order.
"Brother Chen, you can do whatever you want and don't worry about me." Chu Yunfei said. In this battle, I am determined to fight alongside your tribe.
Because we are all Chinese, when the operation begins, I hope Brother Chen will allow me to participate.”
Seeing Chu Yunfei's sincerity, Chen Liang didn't say anything. He just nodded at him in agreement.
Following that, he and Wei Da Yong brought a few elite veterans to scout.
Under the cover of the night, they went straight to the Japanese army's position outside the Wang Fortress.
After scouting, Chen Liang and the others soon found the location of the Japanese's headquarters.
Moreover, Chen Liang also discovered that the Japanese had merged the command centers of the two exploration teams.
They formed a joint command center.
Apart from that, they also found an artillery position not far away from the command post.
"Regiment commander, the defense around the Japanese's headquarters isn't high!”On the way back, Wei Da Yong was both excited and confused.
Chen Liang said," This is normal. From the Japanese's point of view, our Independent Regiment has been surrounded by them.
Behind them was their territory, and there were many scouts on alert.
They wouldn't even dream of our existence, so their level of alert is naturally not too high.”
Not long after, Chen Liang returned to the place where Chu Yunfei and the others were waiting for orders.
He told them about the enemy's situation and told them to rest for another half an hour to recuperate.
We'll start in half an hour.
Chen Liang and the others had indeed discovered the joint command of the 4th and 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
At this moment, the 4th Brigade's commander, Masao Watanabe, and the 9th Brigade's commander, Taro Suzuki, were discussing the attack with their subordinates.
During the day, they had already launched several probing attacks on the Independent Regiment's position.
But what the Japanese army did not expect was that the Independent Regiment had planted a large number of mines outside the Wang Fortress.
Many Japanese troops who were responsible for the probing attack were ambushed by the minefield and suffered heavy losses.
After suffering a huge loss, the Japanese mobilized engineers to clear the mines.
However, before they could clear a few mines, they were attacked by the combined firepower of the independent regiment and anti-aircraft machine guns.
The engineers who were responsible for clearing the mines suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese army had no choice but to suspend the attack.
They turned to the artillery and retaliated by firing at the Independent Regiment's encampment, attempting to eliminate the Independent Regiment's heavy firepower.
After a while, it was already night time.
One of Watanabe Masao's advisors said,"The sky is already dark, and our artillery and aviation will be affected in advance.
Therefore, I think we can only wait until dawn.
The air force could take off and attack again.”
Watanabe Masao nodded slightly." Yes, the troops have rushed here and haven't had time to rest. We can take this opportunity to rest."”
"Tomorrow morning, when the aerial air strikes destroy the Chinese artillery, we will suppress them with artillery fire and cover the engineers to clear the mines. We will definitely be able to clear the minefield and open up the attack channel.”
The Japanese officers were all depressed.
This was because they would never have imagined that it would be so difficult for two exploration teams to encircle and suppress an independent regiment.
Who would have thought that the Independent Regiment would have the ability to set up such a large minefield in the surroundings, forcefully blocking more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers outside.
Just as Watanabe Masao was about to announce the end of the meeting, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside.
Watanabe Masao, Suzuki Taro, and the others, who had been through many battles, could not help but change their expressions when they heard this.
Because they could hear that the sharp sound was the ear-piercing sound of a high-speed cannonball.
However, before they could react.
A bunch of cannonballs smashed down like meteorites.
It hit the Japanese joint command center, and the violent explosion immediately enveloped Watanabe Masao, Suzuki Taro, and the other high-ranking Japanese soldiers.
Miserable screams rang out endlessly.
It turned out that after Chen Liang figured out the Japanese's command center.
He decided to let Wang Huaibao's artillery company and 20 howitzers quietly aim at his position.
The twenty cannons opened fire at the same time. The first volley accurately hit the target.
Coincidentally, the Japanese were in a meeting at that time, so the key officers of the two exploration teams were all wiped out.
After three rounds of shooting, they looked at the dazzling red light that soared into the sky.
Chen Liang was worried that he would not be able to completely destroy the Japanese command center. He immediately raised a light machine gun and shouted,"Brothers, follow me!"
"Charge!"
"Kill!" Wei Da Yong and the rest of the guards and scouts responded in unison.
Chu Yunfei also led his adjutant Sun Ming and charged forward.
