Chapter 176 A good start!(1/2)
Li Yunlong raised the telescope, observed the situation on both sides, and said with a sneer: "These little devils are really on the right track!"
Li Yunlong put down his telescope and shouted loudly: "Order the troops on both wings to stop these little devils first."
"The rest of the troops, continue to concentrate their firepower and annihilate as many little Japs as possible."
"yes!"
The soldier responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.
Under Li Yunlong's personal command, the soldiers continued to concentrate their firepower and fired fiercely at the little Japanese who were surrounded below.
The Japs suffered heavy casualties due to the fierce firepower from the Eighth Route Army, and the Japs had nowhere to hide because there were a large number of mines laid in the open space next to them.
So now these little devils have nowhere to hide. Under such fierce firepower, the little devils suffered heavy casualties.
However, the little devils' counterattack was also quite fierce. The little devils on both sides rushed towards the Eighth Route Army's position like crazy.
Li Yunlong was always observing the situation on the battlefield and saw that the time was almost ripe.
Li Yunlong made a decisive decision and immediately ordered: "Retreat immediately and lead the little devil into the mountainous area."
"yes!"
A soldier next to him responded quickly, and then saw three flares rising into the sky.
After seeing the signal flares, the commanders of each unit issued orders to retreat.
So the soldiers began to withdraw from their positions in an orderly manner, climbing over the top of the mountain and running towards the mountain.
Colonel Aragaki saw this scene through the telescope and couldn't help but frown.
A Japanese officer nearby reminded: "Your Excellency, Colonel, they seem to be escaping!"
"Bagaya Deer!"
Colonel Aragaki couldn't help but cursed angrily: "These bastards have killed so many imperial troops. They want to escape? There is no way!"
"Immediately give the order to go down, give me the chase, and kill this bunch of hateful Tubal."
At this time, a Japanese officer said: "Your Majesty Colonel, Tubal Road has retreated into the mountains. If we pursue it rashly, we won't encounter any more ambush!"
Colonel Aragaki frowned slightly, and then said: "Probably not, Li Yunlong can't use all his main forces to deal with us!"
"They have limited troops, and there may not be other ambushes. Chase them! Don't let them escape!"
"Hai!"
A Japanese officer nearby responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.
Following Colonel Aragaki's order, the Japs immediately concentrated their forces and began to pursue the retreating Eighth Route Army with all their strength.
At this moment, Li Yunlong had retreated to another hilltop, and he looked up and saw that the Japs were really catching up.
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "These little devils really did not disappoint me! They actually caught up with me."
"Since these little devils are seeking death themselves, we can't be blamed."
"Continue to lure them over."
"yes!"
The little devil followed and chased him for about three miles, when a valley appeared in front of him.
When the little devil saw the Eighth Route Army fleeing into the valley in a panic, they all followed closely behind and chased after them.
Watching a large number of little devils entering the valley, a shining signal flare suddenly rose from the top of a mountain.
As the signal flare took off, dense gunfire suddenly rang out from the hillsides on both sides.
Tongues of blazing flames spurted out from the position, and bullets swept into the crowd of Japs like raindrops.
"Puff puff puff~!"
The bullet hit the devil's body, making a muffled sound and splashing clouds of blood mist.
Amidst the shrill screams, the little devils who rushed up were shot and fell to the ground.
At the same time, grenades with black smoke flew down the hillside and landed among the Japanese crowd.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions sounded one after another, and pieces of fire shot into the sky.
The little Japanese was immediately knocked upside down by the explosion, suffering heavy casualties.
"There's an ambush~!"
"Retreat~!"
The little devils suddenly became confused and retreated backwards.
At this time, the soldiers who had already retreated into the valley suddenly killed a carbine and attacked the little Japanese together.
"Kill~!"
Amidst the loud shouts, the Eighth Route Army soldiers all over the mountains and plains were seen charging towards this side quickly.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese became completely confused and scrambled to retreat one by one.
The bullets, grenades and artillery shells on both sides were still falling like raindrops, and the little devils fell to the ground in pieces.
In just a short while, the valley was already covered with a layer of corpses.
At the same time, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and Sun Desheng led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to suddenly rush over from another valley. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion were so powerful that they turned around the foot of the mountain and ran directly towards the little Japanese.
.
Faced with siege from all directions, the little Japanese did not dare to stay and fled in panic.
Li Yunlong stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the scene in front of him, and said excitedly: "Well done, let me chase you with all your strength and maximize the results."
"yes!"
At this moment, Colonel Aragaki also climbed to the top of a mountain on the roadside. Seeing that the chasing little Japs were completely defeated, the old Japs' face changed with fear.
"Bagaya Deer, there is really an ambush!"
At this moment, Colonel Aragaki also regretted his mistake. He didn't expect that his carelessness would lead to a big mistake.
And he still couldn't figure out why Li Yunlong was so bold and mobilized so many main forces to besiege them. What about the other little devils?
What can they do to resist?
However, the situation was urgent and the little devils were completely defeated.
The heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers chased and killed the little Japanese all the way, and the corpses of the dead Japs were strewn across the field, and rivers of blood flowed.
The Agricultural Alliance suffered heavy losses, and the team was completely in disarray. Facing the surging attack from eight directions, the Japs were unable to form effective resistance at all.
But Colonel Aragaki is also experienced. He knows this situation. If they continue to retreat, the losses will only increase. If the Eighth Route Army continues to pursue them, they will be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, Colonel Aragaki quickly ordered: "Give me the order to stabilize my position and resist their attack!"
"Hai!"
A Japanese officer next to him responded quickly and hurriedly conveyed the order.
Colonel Aragaki knew very well that this should be their last chance. If they could not withstand the counterattack from the Eighth Route Army, they would suffer heavy losses.
However, the eight-pronged offensive was too fierce, and the formation of the Little Japs was completely in disarray. Under such circumstances, the Little Japs could no longer hold their ground.
Under the desperate charge of the Eighth Route Army, the little Japanese could only retreat steadily, or even run away in embarrassment.
This order from Colonel Aragaki had almost no effect.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, we..."
"Pa~!"
A loud slap hit the Japanese officer's face directly.
Colonel Aragaki scolded angrily: "A bunch of trash, they fail more than they accomplish."
Seeing that the defeat was certain, Colonel Aragaki was unwilling to do anything, but there was nothing he could do.
Colonel Aragaki said angrily: "Retreat, the entire army retreats, and immediately withdraws from the Wuyun Mountain area."
Although Colonel Aragaki was angry, things had reached this point and he had no other choice but to withdraw first and preserve as much strength as possible.
Under the order of Colonel Aragaki, the Japs could only evacuate the Wuyun Mountain area in a panic.
Li Yunlong led his troops to pursue them all the way, and the Xinyuan Regiment suffered heavy losses.
Colonel Aragaki led the remaining defeated generals under his command, retreated for more than ten miles, and finally temporarily retreated to a safe area.
By this time, the Eighth Route Army had stopped pursuing.
However, when Colonel Aragaki counted the troops and found that the troops had suffered such heavy losses, he felt like crying without tears for a while.
The entire regiment of more than 3,000 men was finally withdrawn, with only about 1,000 men left. In this battle, more than 2,000 men were lost.
Moreover, almost all their supplies and heavy weapons were destroyed.
Faced with this situation, Colonel Aragaki wanted to die.
