The Independent Regiment had already lost nearly half of their men before they broke out of the encirclement. In addition to this night battle, dozens of soldiers in the front row had instantly fallen to the ground. It was tragic, but they could not relax now. They had not left the battlefield yet.
Wang Yuanliang had already charged forward with the rest of the troops. He really couldn't stand his comrades falling to the ground one by one.
In the hand-to-hand battle between the independent regiment and the Japanese army, both sides used weapons that could be seen to kill each other. (From a macro perspective, it was a large-scale street brawl at night.)
No one dared to shoot. No one could guarantee that the bullets would hit the enemy and not hurt their comrades.
This was slightly good news for the Independent Regiment. Fortunately, the night was shrouded, and there were places where the flares could not be seen. Although Li Yunlong could continue fighting, he was worried that the casualties would be too heavy. After a fierce battle, he took advantage of the slight retreat of both sides and ordered the Independent Regiment to abandon their supplies and heavy weapons and break out of the encirclement with light equipment.
The Japanese army understood that the Independent Regiment would suffer a heavy price here, so they tacitly agreed to the Independent Regiment breaking out. They were all raised by their parents. It would be better to beat up the national army in another place.
After the Independent Regiment broke out of the southwest, they did not have time to rest. They quickly moved due south to find Regiment 772. Fortunately, there were no Japanese troops blocking them along the way. After arriving at the designated location, they rested for a while and waited for Regiment 772 to pick them up.
In this battle, the Independent Regiment was left with less than a quarter of its members. They had lost countless guns, weapons, and supplies. All their heavy weapons had been abandoned. It was even worse than when the Taiyue Military Region was established. All the survivors in the regiment were injured, and the heavily injured had to be abandoned. There were iron rules in war, and it was the same for both sides.
There was a military theme that said that an army would retreat if there were casualties. Yes, but the independent regiment only suffered half of the casualties during the day. At night, they had to fight desperately to break out of the encirclement. Don't even think about pretending to be dead and escaping. To both sides of the war, there was no need to take prisoners. Under normal circumstances, the victorious side would definitely kill them. Even if they escaped, the supervising team would be waiting for them. The behavior of deserters would be shameful.
During the day, the Japanese army lost 1370 people in nine attacks, and the roundabout brigade lost 230 people in one round of charge. At night, under the command of the regiment commander Hailan, the remaining forces of the Japanese regiment were scattered in two directions, equivalent to 1700 people scattered in two defense independent regiments. At this time, there were about 700 people left in the independent regiment. The two sides fought for half an hour, each injured 400 people and then retreated. The Japanese army acquiesced to the independent regiment's breakthrough, and the independent regiment was worried about the Japanese reinforcements. (At this time, both sides have similar forces.)
Wang Yuanliang didn't have the chance to shoot at night because it was a breakthrough. The battle broke out too suddenly, so he couldn't find a high point. In front of him were dense comrades. He braced himself and rushed up to kill six Japanese soldiers before moving with the Independent Regiment.
The two Barrett Snipers in his platoon were still alive, and there were less than four people left. He took the opportunity to check the system interface during the break.
"Ding! The host has killed 6 privates and obtained 24 experience points. The soldiers under the host have killed 10 Japanese soldiers and obtained 6 experience points. (LV13:2364/2500)(203 points)"
Sniper accuracy increased by 0.15%. Forget it, the sniper accuracy was only counted as Wang Yuanliang's personal kill, and the sniper's aiming skill was counted as the unit he led.
This night's encounter also gave Wang Yuanliang a clear understanding. Snipers had to have a wide field of vision. If necessary, they had to stay away from the main group to prevent accidental injuries. Otherwise, the two sides of the battle would be intertwined, and there was no way to find the enemy with the naked eye and kill them. Relying on the system's skills always felt a little unwilling. A real man needed both methods.
After resting for half a day, the 772nd Regiment arrived in the afternoon. The 772nd Regiment was also ordered to stop the enemy, which was not much different from the Independent Regiment. The two brothers in distress did not have time to exchange greetings. After meeting each other, they directly broke through the south and were about to face the second encirclement of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army was guarding the main road in the south, and a large number of scouts were arranged on the mountain to prevent the Eighth Route Army from breaking through.
Fortunately, the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army were familiar with the surrounding terrain and did not need to stop the enemy. The heavy weapons had long been abandoned, and the people led the way. After encountering the defeat of the Japanese reconnaissance troops, they did not pursue them. Finally, they jumped out of the second encirclement under the Japanese army's encirclement.
It was impossible for the Japanese army to dig trenches all over the mountains to block the Eighth Route Army. They did not have enough people. Secondly, there were many mountains and the place was so big. The Eighth Route Army could break through in any direction. As a commander, where would you defend?
The 8th Route Army was reborn from all kinds of encirclement and strangulation. Without the city's defense, once they drilled into the mountains, the planes would not be able to find them.）
It was impossible for the Japanese to give up their advantage and chase after the 8th Route Army in the ravine. That would be giving up their advantage and lowering their intelligence. No mature combat system would do such a thing. Moreover, even if they hid in the ravine, could they really guarantee that they would not be surrounded by the 8th Route Army and win? (For reference, all the attacks by the British, American, and Soviet armies in afghanis have failed. You must not go into the ravine.)）
After the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment left the battle, they began to go their separate ways. The Independent Regiment went to the northwest of Shanxi, the 772nd Regiment moved to the Taiyue Military Region, and the 386th Brigade Headquarters stayed in the Taiyue Military Region.
Although the Independent Regiment had suffered heavy losses, the surviving soldiers were all outstanding backbone soldiers. They would be reborn after a few months.
As they were far away from the 386th Brigade's headquarters, one was in southeast Shanxi while the other was in northwest Shanxi. The time for the independent regiment to take off had finally come. They no longer had to hand over their weapons and ammunition for the time being. Whatever they seized would be theirs.
In the middle of February, in Yang Village in the northwestern part of Shanxi Province, the independent regiment had finally arrived at their base after a series of transfers. At this time, a small team from Yang Village came out to welcome the independent regiment.
The experience of the Independent Regiment in the past half a month could be said to be fluctuating. First, they ambushed the Japanese army. After a good New Year, the Japanese army immediately launched a large-scale sweep and severely injured the Independent Regiment.
The Independent Regiment was resting in Yang Village. Li Yunlong began to worry about the soldiers who lacked clothes and ammunition.
Wang Yuanliang was a little heartless. He couldn't go anywhere to fight the Japanese. He had only one body at the start and was completely supported by the system. Anyway, all his equipment was either worn on him or placed in the system space. It would be even more perfect if he had a horse. Unfortunately, it was intercepted by Brigade Commander Chen.
At this time, Northwest Shanxi was close to the headquarters of the Shaanxi/Western Rabbit. The surrounding area was yellow soil, and there were no good mines (currently). Other than a portion of the people here, the Japanese did not care about this place at all. A few national troops were stationed around the area. Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment was near Dagu Town. 40 kilometers to the east was the Tongpu railway, where the Japanese army built many strongholds.
After the 386th Brigade jumped out of the Japanese encirclement, they did a rough calculation of the situation of the troops. The entire brigade covered the logistics department and blocked the Japanese army. The casualties were very high. More than half of the soldiers were lost, and the battalion, company, and platoon officers also lost one-third.
After the Japanese army finished their clean-up, they transferred two brigade groups to attack Xuzhou and Wuhan. On the other hand, they transferred 10 divisions to invade the rabbits. There were still many divisions being trained in the country. In order to consolidate their rule, the devils in Shanxi established a large number of puppet troops and built strongholds on the main routes.
