Outside One-Line-Sky.
The rest of Takahashi Matayoshi's 12th Regiment had already arrived at the edge of the sky, but they did not enter rashly.
"Report, the Yamazaki Battalion is currently engaged in battle with the main force of the 8th Route Army. The Yamazaki Battalion is currently requesting tactical guidance!”
"Report, Yamazaki Brigade, the 8th Route Army's main force has 12 howitzers and destroyed their artillery positions!”
"Report, the 8th Route Army troops have been discovered on the west side. They are suspected to be reinforcing the 8th Route Army troops in Li Jiapo!”
Takahashi Matayoshi listened to all kinds of information.
"Twelve howitzers? It seems like the main force of the 8th Route Army!"
A smile appeared on Takahashi Matayoshi's face when he heard the news.
In this battle, their mission was to wipe out the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and the military factories of the Eighth Route Army.
At present, it seemed that the military factory might have been moved, but the main force of the Eighth Route Army could not escape.
"Report, the 8th Route Army has been spotted on the east side. They are moving towards the frontline!”
Another scout quickly reported.
Takahashi Matayoshi opened the map and stared at it. He instantly understood the intentions of the Eighth Route Army.
"The 8th Route Army is preparing to surround us in Li Jiapo! It seems that they already know our plan.”
Takahashi Mara thought for a moment and said," General Shinozuka, the 12th regiment has decided to enter Li Jiapo to lure the enemy. They will cooperate with the 29th and 21st regiments to surround the main forces of the 8th Route Army around Li Jiapo!”
"In addition, the Eighth Route Army military factory has been moved quickly. It is suspected that it was prepared long ago. There may be a problem with our intelligence sources.”
"May the empire's martial arts luck prosper!"
After sending the telegram, Takahashi Mara immediately ordered,""Advance!"
The other four infantry battalions and one artillery battalion of the 12th regiment immediately began to pass through the frontline.
The high ground on both sides of One-Line-Sky had been occupied.
Originally, the deputy commander had hoped to ambush the Japanese here.
However, considering the terrain here, although they could ambush the Japanese, they would definitely do a lot of reconnaissance work before entering the frontline. They would be discovered in advance and would face the attack of a Japanese team. The two sides of the periphery of the frontline were only high slopes, which were not easy to defend. Therefore, they gave up this plan.
After the Japanese entered the One-Line-Sky, the 77th Regiment immediately seized the area and blocked the Japanese's retreat.
It was as difficult as ascending to the sky from the direction of Li Jiapo.
Regiment 771 defended the line of sky, while Regiment 772 was the reserve team to block the retreat of the devils.
The new 16th Regiment, 17th Regiment, 30th Regiment, 31st Regiment, and Independent Regiment were to encircle and suppress the 12th Regiment of the Guizi at Lijiapo.
There were a total of five regiments to deal with the 12th regiment.
There were also the 7th, 8th, and 9th regiments of the 3rd Squad that were blocking the reinforcements of the 29th Brigade.
As the 12th regiment entered the frontline, the first step of the entire battle plan was completed.
At the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
"Report, the 771st Regiment has sent a telegram. The 12th Regiment of the Japanese has begun to pass through the One-Line-Sky. Should we attack now and occupy both sides of the One-Line-Sky?”
The deputy commander-in-chief shook his head and said," Now is not the time. Tell Feng Jun not to move yet. Wait for the signal from the Japanese Independent Regiment before making a move. A little impatience will ruin the plan. We can't let this Japanese escape!"”
"Yes, sir!"
The deputy commander-in-chief was also a little nervous.
This was a battle to annihilate an entire regiment of the Japanese. Previously, when they attacked the Japanese, they had only attacked one squadron at a time. They did not even have much experience in annihilating a brigade.
Not to mention a regiment.
"Can Li Yunlong still hold on? Should we send troops to support them?”
the deputy commander-in-chief asked worriedly.
After all, the Independent Regiment only had 700 to 800 people, and they were facing a regiment of thousands from the Japanese. They were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.
"Currently, Li Yun Long's men have sent a message saying that the battle is going smoothly. They have wiped out about 200 Japanese soldiers and destroyed four of their mountain cannons.”
The deputy commander-in-chief nodded." Li Yunlong is lucky this time. A battalion of American equipment, and it's even a reinforced battalion. If it weren't for this battalion's equipment, they would probably be fighting the Japanese by now!”
The chief of staff immediately laughed." If it weren't for Li Yunlong's battalion's American equipment, we wouldn't have dared to come up with such a battle plan. We just need to take down the Yamazaki Battalion." This Yu Zhiqian was really generous. Zhao Gang reported that his 357th Regiment had his own arsenal. These weapons and equipment were all produced by himself, and they were also supported by his family.”
"Yes, we have to remember this favor, but we can't just rely on others. After this war is over, I plan to go over and take a look. I'll also take a look at these weapons. If they're good, I'll buy some even if I have to sell everything.”
"Indeed, we lack cannons the most right now. If we had enough cannons, let alone a regiment, we would even dare to take down an entire division!”
