Bright Sword World, Gray Cloud Ridge Battlefield.
The battlefield was filled with thick smoke, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.
Obviously, this unremarkable Gray Cloud Ridge had just experienced a tragic battle.
At the peak of the Gray Cloud Ridge, the new regiment of soldiers was constantly reinforcing the trenches and transporting ammunition. There were also some wounded soldiers who were silently licking their wounds.
In the trench in the center, Lin Yunlong was observing the battlefield with binoculars.
"First Battalion Commander!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Dabiao quickly ran to Lin Yunlong and stood at attention.
"Zhang Dabiao, have the division headquarters and the field hospital been transferred?”
Li Yunlong asked worriedly.
"Reporting to Guild Leader, everyone has retreated!”
"Yes!"
Li Yunlong nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
The main purpose of the battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge was to cover the transfer of the division headquarters and the field hospital. Now that the strategic goal had been achieved, the only thing that needed to be considered was how to evacuate the new regiment.
He had two choices now.
The first was to break out from the rear of Yujialing according to the brigade command, with the 772nd Regiment taking turns to cover.
The second was to counter assault the enemy in front of them, killing a bloody path from the direction of the Japanese army's attack and withdrawing from the battle.
Simply put, the first plan seemed to be safer, but it was not.
Retreating in front of the enemy was actually a very dangerous thing. Retreating when the Japanese army was ready to attack was very easy to be bitten and suffer heavy losses.
Because the new regiment would no longer have fortifications to rely on, when the Japanese army rushed to the top of the mountain to set up machine guns and small cannons, the retreating Eighth Route Army would be the enemy's target.
If retreating in front of the enemy was not possible, then they could only break out of the encirclement head-on!
After thinking for a while, Li Yunlong looked up at Zhang Dabiao and asked,""Zhang Dabiao, what is the enemy's army?”
"Reporting, Regiment Commander." Zhang Dabiao replied in a clear voice,"It's the Japanese's 4th Brigade's Pantian United Team."”
Sakata United?
Why did this name sound so familiar?
Li Yunlong thought about it. During the last Cloud Ridge counter-sweep, Kong Jie's independent regiment had fought with this Sakata United. The regiment commander Kong Jie was injured and the political commissar Li Wenying died.
Li Yunlong had long wanted to avenge his two old comrades. Now, it was a coincidence that they met!
While Li Yunlong was thinking, Zhang Dabiao continued,""Regiment commander, the Sakata United Team is the elite team of the Japanese. The brigade wants us to break out from Yujialing instead of fighting the Sakata United Team.”
"What bullshit elite!"
Li Yunlong was a little unhappy when he heard this. He roared,""I'm fighting the elites!"
If they broke out from the direction of Yu Jialing, it would be a blessing if half of the New Regiment, which had already suffered heavy casualties, could survive.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to fight the Japanese's Sakata United team head-on.
"Pass on my order. Everyone, attach your bayonet and prepare to attack!”
Li Yun Long immediately shouted.
Attack?
Zhang Dabiao was stunned.
Wasn't the enemy attacking now?
Once they launched an attack, it would be a head-on battle!
However, due to his trust in Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao didn't hesitate and immediately began to pass down orders.
"Everyone, fix your bayonet and prepare to attack!”
"Everyone, fix your bayonet and prepare to attack!”
"Everyone, fix your bayonet and prepare to attack!”
As Zhang Dabiao shouted, the veterans of the new regiment pulled out their bayonet from their waists and inserted it into the head of the Type 38 rifle.
On the other side, Li Yunlong had also sent a signal soldier to report to the brigade headquarters that the new regiment was already engaged in battle with the Japanese and could not retreat. Therefore, they decided to break out of the encirclement from the front.
After making all the preparations, Li Yunlong once again used the binoculars to observe the enemy's situation.
War was not won by passion or courage.
It was more dependent on intelligence and planning!
Observing the enemy's movements was a very important part.
"Capture the leader first! If they wanted to break out of the encirclement successfully, they would first have to take out the command center of the Sakata United Team…Who knew if that coward Zhu Zi would be able to take a shot at them!”
Lin Yunlong already had a plan in mind, but he had yet to find the headquarters of the Sakata United Army.
Suddenly, two Japanese signalmen appeared through the binoculars and were setting up the communication antenna.
Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong shouted excitedly,""Pillar, pillar! Where the f * ck did you go!"
Following Li Yunlong's roar, an honest-looking man with a dark face ran to Lin Yunlong.
"Guild Leader! Can we fire again?"
Zhu Zi rubbed his hands and asked excitedly.
"Yes!"
Li Yunlong nodded and pointed to a high ground a thousand meters away.""Zhu Zi, if I'm not wrong, that's the Japanese's command center! Think of a way to f * cking do it! If you hit it right, I'll reward you with half a catty of roasted sweet potatoes tonight!”
There!
Zhu Zi narrowed his eyes and knocked on the door, then shook his head.
"Regiment commander, if we advance another 500 meters, I'm confident that I can hit it!”
This distance had already exceeded the range of the small mountain cannon. Even if the pillar shot, the cannon's technique was not bad, but there was no way to hit outside the range.
"Alright, I will personally cover you and push forward 500 meters!”
Li Yun Long waved his hand and led the 1st Battalion's dozen or so veterans to sneak over.
