Not long after, Li Yun Long led a new group of soldiers and rushed to the front line of the Japanese. At this time, Lu Yan had already instructed a few soldiers to pull the cannons back first, while he himself attacked the Japanese while approaching Li Yun Long.
There were also a dozen soldiers carrying boxes of artillery shells and retreating behind them.
The Type 92 Infantry Cannon was not heavy, and two or three soldiers were enough to pull it away.
Li Yunlong slapped his face. Looking at the cannons and shells, his mouth was almost crooked from laughing.
He had thought that he would be very satisfied with the Type 92 Infantry Cannon.
Who would have thought that Lu Yan could bring back the Five Gates? This gave Li Yunlong a new understanding of Lu Yan.
Li Yunlong was most happy to see Lu Yan safe and sound.
Li Yunlong was so excited that he rushed up and hugged Lu Yan.
Not only Li Yun Long, but all the warriors of the 1st Battalion were also very happy.
With five Type 92 Infantry Cannons, the new regiment's assets became even more substantial.
The 1st Battalion, 3rd Platoon were attacking when they saw Lu Yan and the cannons and shells. Under Lu Yan's simple orders, they immediately helped to transport them.
After Li Yunlong released Lu Yan, he stared at the five Type 92 cannons and rushed forward to stroke them like a wolf pouncing on its prey.
"Brother Lu, I'm really happy. I won't change my wife even if I have ten wives.”
Li Yunlong didn't ask Lu Yan how he had brought the cannons and cannonballs here, because the result was that these cannons would soon become the powerful firepower of the new regiment. This was the most important thing.
Lu Yan was not curious about Li Yunlong's incessant praise, so he did not say anything.
After the five cannons were taken away from the Japanese's front line, the 1st Battalion also slowed down their pace of attack.
"Old Li, can you occupy the third line of defense of the Japanese tonight?”Lu Yan asked.
Li Yunlong was already familiar with the Japanese's location. After hearing Lu Yan's words, Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said,"It's a little difficult tonight. We can't continue fighting with the Japanese.”
When Lu Yan heard this, he did not say anything else.
Looking at the attacking battalion, Lu Yan was still looking forward to taking over the Japanese's third line of defense.
There was a high ground on the third position of the Japanese. This high ground was on the right side of the Eighth Route Army's main peak position. It was less than two kilometers away from the Sakata United's command center. This distance was already within the range of a 98K sniper rifle.
Lu Yan was confident that he could take down the Japanese's headquarters on that high ground.
However, Li Yunlong only wanted to help him tonight and did not intend to occupy the Japanese's front line.
Li Yunlong did not expect Lu Yan to cause so many explosions inside the Japanese. After receiving Lu Yan, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion also began to retreat.
The Japanese also organized themselves and began to attack. It was too dangerous to adjust the battle at this time.
"Brother Lu, don't worry. The Japanese's cannons have been blown up, and we've added five more cannons. It'll definitely be enough to make the Japanese suffer tomorrow.”Li Yunlong laughed.
Lu Yan didn't care too much because he knew that the New Regiment One would definitely be able to kill the Japanese.
With his help now, the new group would have a huge advantage. He would definitely be able to complete the second mission.
More and more Japanese soldiers came to support them, but the new regiment had already retreated to their own positions.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the Japanese's command center was very heavy.
Nobutetsu Sakata was very angry. He glared at every officer present. Not long ago, a squadron leader in charge of patrolling and the captain of the artillery position were ordered to commit suicide by him.
The cannons and shells in the artillery positions were all detonated and destroyed. In tonight's battle, the death toll of the regiment was as high as 300. The Sakata regiment had never suffered such a defeat before. This was a disgrace to the regiment!
"Tomorrow, we will launch an all-out attack. Gentlemen, we must win this battle.”
The Japanese officers looked at each other in dismay. They did not have much confidence.
The artillery positions were destroyed, and most of the light and heavy machine guns were scrapped. How could they defeat the 8th Route Army with just those mortars?
After a day of fighting, the Sakata United Army's firepower was far inferior to the 8th Route Army.
A forced battle would only cause the regiment to suffer a devastating blow.
However, none of them dared to say anything in the face of the furious Nobutetsu Sakata.
Lieutenant General Urato, the staff officer of the regiment, stepped forward and said,""Commander, are we going to fight to the death tomorrow?”
After hearing this, Nobutetsu Sakata pondered for a moment. He knew that his side had suffered a blow, but they could only win if they fought to the death.
After the day's battle, Nobutetsu Sakata knew that he had a very strong opponent.
If they fought to the death, even if they obtained the final victory, the Sakata United Team would be wiped out.
As the trump card of the field army, if they ended up fighting with the 8th Route Army and both sides suffered losses, then he could commit suicide to apologize.
"Tomorrow, I will call Brigade Leader Yu and request for air support. Everyone, we will win tomorrow.”
Nobutetsu Sakata swept his gaze across his subordinates and glared fiercely at every officer present.
All the Japanese officers held their heads high and said,""We'll definitely win tomorrow!"
