Gaojialing.
The 5th Infantry Brigade of the 12th Regiment of the 29th Brigade of the Ghost Clan.
Yamazaki Haruhira led the 5th Infantry Company and quickly passed through Gaojia Ridge.
This used to be the defense zone of the 771st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
"Report, there are no signs of the 8th Route Army. There are no signs of the 8th Route Army on either side!”
A scout quickly reported.
"Yo, move forward!"
Yamazaki Haruhira immediately ordered.
However, not long after they advanced, a huge explosion suddenly came from the middle of the road.
"What happened?"
Yamazaki Haruhira jumped down from his three-wheeled motorcycle.
Due to the lack of supplies, the Japanese infantry regiment had very few vehicles. Most of the infantry brigade was on foot. Only the captain could take transportation in the infantry brigade. The rest of the soldiers were on foot.
"Report, there are mines in the middle of the road. Our engineering team has already started clearing the mines!”
"Landmines?"
Yamazaki Haruhira took a closer look at the map.
They were still more than ten kilometers away from Li Jiapo.
"Let the Imperial Association Army lead the way for us. The entire army will immediately advance at full speed!”
"Ha Yi!"
An advisor beside him frowned and said,""Yamazaki Kun, we're about five kilometers away from the main force. If we encounter an ambush from the 8th Route Army, most of them won't be able to support us quickly.”
Yamazaki Haruhira shook his head." Matsushita-kun, you might not know this, but there's an old saying in China: Speed is the most important thing in war!"”
"Our current target is the Chinese people's arsenal. We have already reached Gaojialing, only ten kilometers away from Lijiapo. The 8th Route Army has already reacted. Our target is Lijiapo, they must be transferring supplies and equipment!”
"Our battle plan is not only to destroy the main force of the 8th Route Army, but also to completely destroy the resistance of the 8th Route Army. The arsenal is very important to the 8th Route Army. If they move it out, they will still have an endless supply of weapons to fight us!”
"We have to destroy their arsenal before they move. Once and for all!”
Hearing Yamazaki Haruhira's words, the staff officer immediately nodded and said,""Squadron Leader, you have a brilliant idea!"
At this moment, the puppet troops following behind the Yamazaki Brigade were pushed to the front.
To put it nicely, the puppet army was called the Imperial Association Army. To put it bluntly, they were doing dirty work for the devils.
For example, clearing mines was one of the puppet army's daily tasks.
A battalion of puppet soldiers was pushed to the front.
The Japanese behind them held their weapons and aimed at them, telling them to continue moving forward.
The puppet soldiers gritted their teeth and walked forward.
A few scouts of the Eighth Route Army were observing the situation from a hidden spot on the hillside.
"Report to the headquarters. The Japanese have arrived at Gaojialing. They are expected to arrive near Lijiapo in two hours!”
"Yes, sir!"
A Scout quickly retreated from his hiding place. After crossing the hill, he quickly retreated on his horse.
At this moment, Li Jiapo.
They were still busy retreating.
The Japanese moved very quickly. It only took them a day to receive the information and decide to send troops.
Li Jiapo not only had an arsenal.
There were also field hospitals and other places.
It would take time to move the injured and the machines.
"Hurry up, the Japanese will arrive in two hours. Everyone, help out and hurry up!”
"How's the evacuation of the wounded?"
Brigadier General Chen personally came to Li Jiapo to command.
"Most of the injured have been transferred. There are still a small number of lightly injured people who are being transferred.”
"Hurry up. How's the transfer of the equipment going?”
"The production line has been moved, and only some raw materials are left.”
"Okay, continue to speed up!"
Brigadier General Chen put the whip into his pocket and started to get busy.
At this moment, the commander of the 772nd Regiment, Blind Cheng, walked over.""Brigadier General, why did you change our 772nd Regiment from the main attack force to the reserve force? Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment only had half a regiment left.”
Brigadier General Chen handed a sack to Blind Cheng and said,""What's wrong? Are you not convinced?"
"Brigadier general, I don't accept this. You're biased. Our 772nd Regiment has better equipment than Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment, and we also have more people than the Independent Regiment. In such a critical battle, we should be the main force first!”
Blind Cheng said as he moved the things.
"Better equipment than Li Yunlong? Go to the Independent Regiment and take a look. The Independent Regiment has eight 105mm howitzers. If you can get eight howitzers, I'll let you be the main attacker. Don't be long-winded and get your people to help with the evacuation!”
"Yes, sir!"
Compared to Li Yunlong, Blind Cheng didn't dare to argue with Brigade Commander Chen. He could only leave dejectedly.
At this moment, they saw Li Yunlong leading his troops and rushing over from afar.
"Hey, isn't this Blind Cheng? Why did you come here? Shouldn't the reserve team be waiting for orders at the brigade headquarters? Why? You want to be the main attacker too?"
