"This Li Yunlong, if it wasn't for the fact that the war wasn't over, I would have removed him from his post!”
In the 8th Army Headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief saw the telegrams from Zhao Gang and Kong Jie and immediately stood up.
"Boss, what's wrong with this Li Yunlong?”
"Let him hold the position and be in charge of providing artillery support to his brothers. After he killed the captain of the 12th regiment, Takahashi Matatsu, he will lead his men to attack most of the Japanese!”
"I haven't even finished dealing with the last time I disobeyed orders on the battlefield, and now you're doing this to me!”
At this moment, the Chief of Staff stood up.""Boss, Li Yunlong killed Takahashi Matayo with a cannon blast?”
"Yes, the telegram said that Takahashi Matayoshi was inspecting the terrain in front of the arsenal when he was killed by Li Yunlong's cannon!”
The Chief of Staff's eyes immediately lit up.
"This is an opportunity!"
The chief of staff looked at the map for a while and said,""We haven't found a chance to break through. The Japanese reinforcements are getting closer and closer. This Li Yun Long killed Takahashi Matayoshi. The Japanese are in a mess now.”
After the deputy commander heard this, he thought carefully for a moment and said,"Yes, that's true. However, I won't let Li Yunlong off easily for disobeying orders on the battlefield.”
Hearing this, the chief of staff immediately smiled and said,""After this war is over, Li Yunlong can go and study. Didn't Zhao Gang report that the 357th Regiment and them are preparing to form a military technology study group? When the time came, Li Yunlong could go and study.”
"This is punishment? This is a reward. Chief of Staff, don't tell me you've fallen in love with Li Yun?”
The Chief of Staff immediately smiled." As long as we can fight the Japanese, I like this Li Yunlong. Besides, Boss, you know Li Yunlong. Isn't it more painful to let him learn than to kill him?"”
Hearing this, the deputy commander's eyes immediately lit up. It seemed that this was indeed the case.
"Alright, after the war is over, let Li Yunlong go and learn what battlefield discipline is.”
"Let's not talk about this now. How's the situation on the battlefield now?”
Speaking of serious matters, the Chief of Staff shook his head and said,""It's not very optimistic. The Japanese reinforcements are desperately rushing towards Li Jiapo. The pressure on the outer troops is very high, but they can still hold on. Now, it depends on whether we destroy the 12th regiment first or if the Japanese reinforcements arrive first!”
Hearing this, the deputy commander nodded.""Yes, order the 34th Regiment and the 35th Regiment to join the battle as well. They must definitely take down the Japanese regiment! He had to suppress the Japanese's arrogance and prepare for the next battle!”
"Yes, sir!"
On the battlefield of Li Jiapo.
Yamazaki Haruhei became the regimental commander of the 12th regiment. The so-called substitute was the temporary regimental commander.
This was a tradition of the Japanese combat troops.
After the death of the regiment commander, the deputy regiment commander would become the regiment commander. After the death of the deputy regiment commander, the chief of staff would take over.
And so on.
If the command center was destroyed, one of the captains would be the regiment commander.
Yamazaki Haruhira was the most senior commander of the 12th regiment. Therefore, after Takahashi Matara's command post was destroyed by Li Yunlong, he became the temporary commander.
He had finally realized his dream of becoming a regiment commander.
However, Yamazaki Haruhira did not have time to celebrate for long. Li Yun Long's troops had already started attacking Yamazaki Haruhira's 5th Infantry Battalion.
"Nani? The Independent Regiment actually dared to attack us?”
Yamazaki Haruhira's command post was next to a large locust tree. When he saw this scene with his binoculars, he could not help but sneer.
"Order the troops to prepare to face the enemy!"
The Japanese soldiers immediately stabbed their bayonet into the lid.
Facing the enemy's charge, the Japanese liked to use this method to deal with the enemy.
This would stimulate the Japanese's bloodlust. At the same time, they would fight with their daggers. The Japanese felt that they were invincible. There was nothing better than a hand-to-hand battle to completely defeat the fighting spirit of an army!
However, just as the Yamazaki Battalion was about to engage the Independent Regiment in a duel of blades, at the artillery position of the Independent Regiment, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared.
The 75mm howitzers were the first to fire!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
One by one, artillery shells landed on the Yamazaki Battalion's position.
The hastily built position of the Japanese could not withstand the baptism of heavy artillery bombardment.
As the artillery shells continued to fall, the Japanese soldiers of the Yamazaki Battalion fell one after another.
Yamazaki Haruhira gritted his teeth as he looked at the soldiers who were constantly dying in the battlefield. He pulled out his samurai sword and roared,"Charge!"
"Board!"
"Board!"
"Board!"
These Japanese soldiers rushed out from their positions and charged in the direction of the Independent Regiment soldiers.
When Li Yun Long saw this scene, he shouted,""Brothers, let's not play with the Japanese today. Let the Japanese have a taste of our power! Don't save your bullets. If you can use guns to finish them off, then use guns to finish them off. End the battle quickly!”
"Yes, sir!"
At the same time, the mortars on the artillery position of the Independent Regiment also opened fire.
Their target was the soldiers of the 5th Infantry Brigade who were charging towards the Independent Regiment.
"Boom!"
A mortar shell exploded in the middle of a group of Japanese soldiers, killing a few of them.
Mortars were much faster than 75mm howitzers.
Cannons landed on the path of the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers fell on the path of the charge.
Yamazaki Haruhira's heart was bleeding. Before his 5th Infantry Battalion could even get close to the Independent Regiment, more than half of them had died.
Li Yun Long and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were overjoyed.
When had they ever fought such a rich war?
In the past, they had to face the Japanese's artillery fire, but now, it was the Japanese who had to face their artillery fire.
"Hit him!"
Li Yunlong took the initiative to fire when the distance was about 300 meters.
One shot killed a Japanese soldier who had rushed out of the artillery fire.
The Japanese had just escaped the bombardment of the artillery shells, but what greeted him was the baptism of bullets.
Every soldier in the Independent Regiment was holding an M1 Garand rifle. After aiming at the Japanese soldier and pulling the trigger, he just had to aim at the second one. There was no need to pull the bolt and aim again.
Hit increased the speed of shooting.
The first wave of Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the bombing zone were all killed before they could counterattack.
After the 5th Brigade suffered a huge loss, the remaining Japanese soldiers began to retreat, trying to hide in the camp and resist the attack of the Independent Regiment.
However, the shells that kept falling from above made it impossible for the Japanese soldiers of the 5th Brigade to organize an effective counterattack.
"Boom!"
A cannonball landed beside the old locust tree where Yamazaki Haruhira was.
After the smoke had cleared, only a Zuo Guan sword and some body parts were left, proving that the temporary commander of the 12th regiment had once existed here.
When the soldiers of the Independent Regiment rushed to the position of the 5th Infantry Brigade, it took less than three minutes to completely eliminate the last resistance of the Japanese.
A few of them were hiding in the tunnel, ready to die together with the soldiers of the Independent Regiment.
However, they were killed before they could ring their cantaloupes.
The fifth brigade was completely annihilated.
"Continue forward and take back the military factory!”
After taking down the 5th Battalion's position, Li Yunlong did not choose to rest. He decided to charge at the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Battalion.
At this moment, the 35th and 36th regiments also attacked the Japanese soldiers in the direction of the military factory from different directions.
The three main forces surrounded the military factory where the devils had gathered at Lijiapo.
At the same time, the Independent Regiment's heavy artillery bombarded the military factory.
However, the devils of the 12th regiment did not give up on resisting. They used the complex terrain inside the military factory and the wreckage that had been blown up by the shells to resist.
The two sides fought for more than an hour. Even though Li Yun Long's independent regiment had the advantage in equipment, they still could not take down the military factory.
In the Army Headquarters.
The deputy commander-in-chief had already received the news that Yu Zhiqian had defeated the Yoshino Regiment.
Before he could recover from his shock, a telegram immediately put the deputy commander-in-chief in a dilemma.
"Report, over ten thousand Japanese soldiers have appeared twenty kilometers away from One-Line-Sky. The preliminary judgment is that they are the 4th division of the Japanese, including the 4th division's chariot regiment!”
The deputy commander-in-chief was shocked when he heard the news.
The 4th division was the most elite division of the Guizi in the North China region.
He had participated in the Battle of Taiyuan before, but he had left after the battle.
At this moment, he suddenly appeared.
"The 4th division will arrive at Li Jiapo in three hours. The leading chariot regiment will arrive at Frontline in half an hour and launch an attack on our Li Jiapo garrison!”
Bad news came one after another.
The Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander-in-Chief stared at the map and fell into deep thought.
The arrival of the 4th division and over 10,000 ghosts turned the tables on this battle.
If the 4th division joined the battle, it would be a devastating blow to the troops around Li Jiapo.
Especially the Japanese's tank regiment, they lacked effective means to deal with the Japanese's Little Bean tanks.
If they wanted to destroy the Japanese tanks, they could only rely on the soldiers to blow up the tanks with explosives.
Moreover, the effect was not ideal. It often took dozens of soldiers to kill a Japanese tank.
"Retreat, retreat immediately. We can't continue fighting. If we continue fighting, the entire army surrounding Li Jiapo will be in danger!”
The deputy commander-in-chief stared at the map for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Sigh, it seems that this battle plan has failed.”
The deputy commander-in-chief threw the pen in his hand on the table and said,"It can't be considered a failure. After all, we've taken down a large group of Japanese soldiers. In total, we've taken down more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers. It's not bad, but I'm still not satisfied. If we had another two hours, we could have taken down the 12th Japanese regiment!”
The Chief of Staff nodded in agreement, but in the end, he shook his head helplessly and said,""Although that's the case, we really can't deal with the Japanese's tank regiment. A few little tanks from a tank squadron have already made us suffer, let alone a tank regiment.”
The deputy commander sighed and stared at the map.""We'll get back at the Japanese sooner or later!”
Li Jiapo's frontline.
Li Yunlong received a telegram from the headquarters.
"What is it? Retreat? Why did they retreat? Seeing that the Japanese were about to be completely wiped out, retreating now? No, we can't retreat!"
Li Yun Long immediately shouted.
They were already halfway through the battle. No one was willing to retreat at this time.
"Li Yunlong, the 4th division is only 20 kilometers away from us, and the enemy's armored vehicles are only half an hour away. If we don't retreat in time and get caught by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and said,""Chariot regiment? Japanese tanks?"
"That's right, it's the Japanese's tank regiment. Each regiment has at least a few dozen tanks, and they're currently heading towards Lijiapo.”
Li Yunlong frowned when he heard that.
He did not want to retreat now.
However, it was an order from the headquarters.
At this moment, Li Yunlong suddenly thought of the weapon that Yu Zhiqian had given him, the bazooka.
His eyes immediately lit up.”
After saying that, he immediately rushed to the command center of the Independent Regiment's front line. After picking up the phone, he immediately shouted,"Get me the headquarters. Independent Regiment Leader Li Yunlong has something important to report!”
In the headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff had already begun to formulate an emergency evacuation plan.
At this moment, the operator held the phone and said,"Deputy Commander, Li Yunlong called and said that he has something important to report.”
"Yes, give it to me!"
The deputy commander-in-chief placed the phone on his ear and shoulder while drawing a map."Li Yunlong, if you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't want to retreat, don't say it!”
On the other side of the phone, Li Yunlong was not smiling. He said seriously,"Deputy commander, I'll make it short. I have a way to deal with the Japanese's chariot regiment!”
Upon hearing this, the deputy commander immediately stood up straight and switched his hand to the phone."Do you have any ideas?"
"Deputy commander, I have a weapon here that is specially used to fight tanks. Do you still remember?”
" A weapon that specializes in fighting tanks?"
"Yes, I'll show you how to blow up the Japanese's bunkers and turrets after we finish attacking Wanjialing!”
Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the deputy commander-in-chief immediately remembered that after the battle at Wan Clan Ridge, he had specifically asked about the battle.
He even saw the Independent Regiment soldiers controlling the bazooka to blow up a wall.
He didn't think of this thing before, but when he heard Li Yunlong mention it, he immediately thought of this good thing and asked excitedly.
"Li Yunlong, don't hide it from me. Now tell me, how many of these rocket launchers do you have?”
