At the same time, they found a bunker and began to launch an effective counterattack, although the independent regiment had the terrain advantage.

But despite the well-equipped weapons of the Little Devils, the Independent Regiment still suffered a lot of casualties.

Not long after the battle started, the Japs had already asked the gunners to set up mortars and grenade launchers at a safe location.

This is how the little devil troops play. The tactics of grenades and mortars combined with the infantry will blow you up twice first.

Then, before you could react, the little Japanese infantry immediately launched a charge, seeking to capture the enemy's position in the shortest possible time.

The regiment of Fujimoto Haraichi illustrates this point very well, not long after the battle started.

The kid below had already set up the mortar. Seeing this, Li Yunlong quickly shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hide quickly, the cannon is coming."

‘Boom~’

As soon as he finished speaking, rounds of artillery shells were fired from the mortars and grenade launchers set up by the Japs.

However, with Li Yunlong's reminder, most of the soldiers of the independent regiment immediately hid in the simple air-raid shelters dug in advance.

This is the experience gained from Li Yunlong's several interactions with Fujimoto Haraichi. He knows what this old boy's tactics are.

So we had been prepared for it, but even with Li Yunlong's reminder, some soldiers were still killed.

After a few minutes of shelling, the movement outside gradually weakened. At this time, Li Yunlong knew in his heart that the first round of shelling by Fujimoto Hara's troops was almost over.

If nothing else goes wrong, those soldiers will then launch a charge on their own position.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong asked the soldiers hiding in the simple air-raid shelter to return to their original positions.

Sure enough, before the soldiers from the Independent Regiment had fully returned to their positions, the Little Japanese launched the first round of charge.

If this were placed on ordinary troops, it would be really difficult to withstand the attack of Fujimoto Haraichi's troops.

But Li Yunlong was different. He almost knew Fujimoto Haraichi's fighting style and his fighting techniques.

In this way, Li Yunlong could take advantage of the situation and restrict the pace of Fujimoto Hara's troops to a greater extent.

And the fact is exactly as Li Yunlong thought, the first round of charge launched by Fujimoto Haraichi's troops was quickly repelled by the independent regiment.

Seeing that the attack could not be taken for a long time, Fujimotohara ordered people to bombard the independent regiment position in front again.

He didn't want to be delayed in this place for too long, so he had to get rid of this ambush as soon as possible.

However, Fujimoto Haraichi's idea is destined to fail. Whether it is artillery bombardment or infantry charge, Li Yunlong will have corresponding countermeasures.

If it were before, even if Li Yunlong knew Fujimoto Haraichi's fighting style, it would still be difficult to stop Fujimoto Haraichi's troops.

But today is different from the past. You must know that you have asked your superiors to borrow a batch of weapons just for today's battle.

It is no exaggeration to say that this battle was the richest that Li Yunlong had ever fought. He had several heavy machine guns borrowed from the brigade commander alone.

There were nearly a dozen crooked light machine guns. With such firepower, it was not too difficult to repel the charge of Fujimoto Hara's troops.

............

On the other side, Fujimoto Haraichi was very confused when he saw that his troops had attacked several times without any obvious results.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. In the past, during battles with the Eighth Route Army, situations like today would never have occurred.

They launched four charges against the Eighth Route Army's positions, but to no avail. Each time they were about to charge into the enemy's positions.

He will call back, and at this moment, even the most stupid person will notice that something is wrong.

So Fujimoto Haraichi called the deputy beside him and asked.

"Ono-kun, I feel that this group of Eighth Route Army troops is not an ordinary unit. Have you found out the number of this Eighth Route Army unit?"

"Reporting to Colonel Fujimoto, we have not captured this Eighth Route Army unit alive yet, so we don't know what their designation is."

"Baga! Hurry up and think of a solution. We can't stay here for too long. The task the general gave us is the People's Army in Hua Village."

"Hayi!"

In order to deal with this group of Eighth Route Army ambushes as soon as possible, Fujimoto Haraichi asked his troops to increase their offensive intensity.

As a result, the pressure on the independent group was much greater. At this time, Zhang Dabiao came to Li Yunlong and said.

"Captain, the little devil below has gone crazy for some reason. The intensity of the charge is getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, our independent regiment will not be able to withstand it."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong looked at the sky and found that it was almost there, and then looked at Zhang Dabiao.

"I asked you to take people to get things done, right?"

"Report to the leader, everything has been done."

"In this case, let's tell the brothers that they can retreat while fighting. Our goal has been achieved, and then we will hand it over to the People's Army."

"yes!"

Under Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment withdrew from their positions in an orderly manner. They had just withdrawn here.

The little Japanese rushed to the position and looked at the Eighth Route Army in the distance. Ono Takuya asked Fujimoto Haraichi next to him.

"Colonel Fujimoto, this group of Eighth Route Army troops has retreated. Do we want to pursue them?"

Fujimoto Haraichi shook his head without hesitation.

"No need. This time our target is the People's Army, not the Eighth Route Army. Let the troops continue to move forward."

"Hayi!"

Just as they were preparing their troops and hadn't gone far, they suddenly heard a loud noise.

The next moment, I saw a large number of rocks rolling down from the hillsides on both sides, blocking the road ahead.

This is what Li Yunlong just asked Zhang Dabiao to do, which is to bury explosives in the hillsides on both sides of the road.

The impact force generated by the explosion of the explosive caused the rocks on the hillside to roll down, blocking the steps of the little devil in turn.

Coupled with Fujimoto Haraichi's cautious character, he would definitely not ask the soldiers to remove the stones on the road in the first place.

Instead, soldiers will be sent to conduct a blanket search on the hillsides on both sides, after confirming that there is no ambush.

Only then would he send people to remove the stones in front of him. This would achieve Li Yunlong's purpose.

By the time Fujimoto Haraichi finished all this, it was almost dark. According to the current marching speed.

When Fujimoto Haraichi's troops reached Yangding County, nightfall happened to fall.

However, to be on the safe side, Su Yu still had the bridge next to Yangding County blown up.
