"Commander, a message from the Yamazaki Battalion!”
The commander of the 12th regiment, Takahashi Matara, was sitting in a car with his eyes closed.
"Bring it over."
"Ha Yi."
Takahashi Matara took the telegram and read it.
"The Yamazaki Brigade has already conquered the 8th Route Army's military factory and field hospital. However, they have just moved and are now being intercepted by the 8th Route Army's main force!”
Takahashi Matayoshi looked at the map. His intuition told him that this was a trap.
The Eighth Route Army wanted to lure them to Li Jiapo.
"Li Jiapo? Do the Chinese want to fight us there?”
Along the way, Takahashi Matayoshi felt that the battle was going unusually smoothly. The 8th Route Army's blocking troops did not resist at all. After fighting for a while, they immediately retreated.
It didn't seem like he was blocking them, but more like he was observing them.
"I wonder if the Chinese have the ability to take down my 12th Regiment and inform the Yamazaki Battalion to continue attacking! Continue to move forward and enter Li Jiapo!"
"Ha Yi!"
Takahashi Matayoshi felt that this was a trap, but he still did not hesitate. Their mission was to capture Li Jiapo and attract the Eighth Route Army to rescue the military factory.
But now that the military factory had been moved, their plan seemed to have failed. However, the Yamazaki Battalion had captured a main force of the 8th Route Army.
Either the 8th Route Army gave up on this main force, or they sent more troops to support this force.
As long as the 8th Route Army arrived, Takahashi Matayoshi was confident that he could eliminate any reinforcements.
The 12th Regiment under his command was one of the elite troops. He was confident that he could deal with an entire division of the 8th Route Army, let alone a regiment.
Li Jiapo.
"Grenade launcher ready, 1st Infantry Squadron ready to attack!”
Yamazaki Haruhira ordered again.
This was already the second attack.
In the first round of attack, the 3rd Infantry Company of the 5th Infantry Battalion lost dozens of men and retreated in panic.
The exchange of fire was very short. In less than five minutes, there were nearly a hundred casualties. This was something that the Yamazaki Battalion had never encountered before.
In the past, although they could not take down the position with a single charge, they would not have suffered such heavy casualties.
"Your Excellency, this 8th Route Army is not ordinary. Their weapons seem to be different from ordinary 8th Route Army troops.”
Yamazaki Haruhira nodded and said," I also noticed that their firepower is more ferocious than the other Chinese troops. They should be the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"”
"However, in front of the soldiers of the Imperium, resistance is futile. As long as we cover the enemy with artillery fire, we can conquer the enemy's position!”
Yamazaki Haruhira said confidently.
Artillery bombing and infantry charging were common tactics used by the Japanese.
Soon, grenade launchers began to be set up.
When Li Yun Long saw this scene, he immediately ordered,""F * ck, prepare the grenade launchers and mortars for the Japanese. We'll give them a good taste of what it feels like to be suppressed by firepower!”
At this moment, Kong Jie looked into the distance and said,""Li Yunlong, the headquarters asked us to stall this Japanese. What if our firepower is exposed and the Japanese escape?”
Hearing Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong smiled and said,""Don't worry, the devils won't be able to escape. The fiercer our firepower is, the fiercer we fight, and the devils won't be able to escape.”
"I'm guessing that the enemy must think that we're the main force and can't wait to eat us up. The more we fight, the more the enemy will think that we're the main force, so they'll take the bait!”
Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang didn't say anything more. They continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.
"Damn it, this Japanese infantry unit is not simple. They must be the elites of the Japanese. Fortunately, we changed our equipment. Otherwise, we might really be at a disadvantage in the hands of this Japanese!”
Li Yun Long looked at the Yamazaki Battalion's position in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
Although the attack failed, the retreat was very orderly and there was no panic. They were definitely well-trained.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
“……”
The mortars of the 8th Route Army Independent Regiment were the first to fire. Their target was the Japanese Grenade Grenade Grenade-throwers.
When the Independent Regiment fired, Yamazaki Haruhira's face did not show any surprise. Instead, he showed an excited expression.
"There are at least twenty mortars. This is definitely the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Have the artillery calculate the enemy's mortar position and blow it up!”
The Yamazaki Battalion also had an artillery unit with four mountain cannons.
The reason why they had not opened fire was because they were waiting for the artillery of the 8th Route Army to open fire.
The grenade launchers that the Japanese had temporarily built were instantly covered by the mortars.
At this time, Li Yunlong looked through the binoculars and saw that the four mountain cannons behind the Japanese were already in position and were starting to aim at the Independent Regiment's position.
Seeing this, Li Yun Long laughed again.
"Damn it, I was completely helpless when I was attacked by the Japanese's mountain cannons in the past. Today, I'll let the Japanese have a good taste of being covered by artillery!”
After saying that, he immediately turned his head and said,"Immediately move the mortars and get the Mountain Cannon Company to knock out the Japanese Mountain Cannons!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Li Yunlong's Mountain Cannon Company was also equipped with the artillery of Yu Zhiqian's battalion.
12 M1A1 howitzers, 75mm caliber.
It had the same caliber as the mountain cannons of the Japanese, but it had a longer range and was more powerful.
