At around three o'clock in the morning, the main force of the Muyue detachment began to advance towards Lijiapo.

After the Muyue detachment captured the Walled City, the morale of Lijiapo's Yamazaki Brigade became even higher.

Even under the command and arrangement of Yamazaki Nakazuo, the little Japanese took the initiative to launch a night attack.

The various ministries participating in the Lijiapo offensive did not expect this at all and were caught off guard.

Fortunately, the brigade commander had arranged to build a position before, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"What does Li Yunlong do for a living? One regiment cannot defend the Walled City. I have long said that the independent regiment is just making dough!"

"Such a regiment leader is not even qualified to feed animals. Such a unit has no meaning at all."

"Send power to the division commander immediately. Once the Japanese troops departing from the Walled City arrive at the Lijiapo battlefield, cancel the independent regiment designation!"

This time the Lijiapo battle was taken very seriously by the headquarters. As news of the Walled City's fall was passed on, the boss became furious.

He reprimanded loudly at the frontline headquarters and threatened to directly cancel the designation of the independent regiment.

After the division commander and brigade commander received the news, they contacted each other immediately.

They had no idea that the Walled City would fall in such a short period of time.

You must know that they knew the importance of the Walled City, so they specially arranged independent regiments to garrison it.

There are more than 3,000 people in the Independent Regiment. Although Li Yunlong keeps hiding his possessions, others don't know about his belongings. The brigade commander knows it very well.

The entire regiment is conservatively estimated to have one hundred light and heavy machine guns, and more than twenty artillery pieces of various calibers.

In terms of military strength, not to mention the 129th Division, even the 386th Brigade has more troops than the independent regiment.

For example, the 772nd Regiment has nearly 4,000 troops.

But when it comes to weapons and equipment, looking at the entire Eighth Route Army-level troops, no regiment can compare with the independent regiment.

The brigade commander and division commander have high hopes for the independent regiment.

They hoped that the independent regiment would block the reinforcements of the Japanese reinforcements in the Walled City, and then participate in the decisive battle between Lijiapo and the Yamazaki Brigade.

"Li Yunlong, that bastard, might be up to something again. Contact the Independent Group immediately."

"The boss attaches great importance to this battle. He Li Yunlong doesn't want his head, but I still want the number of the independent regiment."

"The Walled City must be recovered before dawn. Tell him that there can be no carelessness in this battle!"

"I'll put away what he did on the Cangyunling battlefield. If he dares to disobey orders on the battlefield, we will engage in military law!"

The teacher is usually very kind, but this time, he was obviously a little excited.

In other words, the teacher has a relatively good temper, otherwise, he would have scolded his mother long ago.

"Commander, don't worry. The Japs are bringing reinforcements from the direction of the Walled City. We will stop them even if we fight to the death."

"The New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment are serving as reserve teams nearby and can be transferred there at any time."

"Even if our brigade fights to the last man, we will not let them support the Lijiapo battlefield!"

The brigade commander said immediately, and soon the two people ended the call.

The brigade commander began to quickly contact the independent group, but the phone was temporarily unavailable.

"Give electricity to the Li Yunlong Independent Regiment!"

"The Walled City must be recaptured before dawn. If he doesn't want to spend his whole life doing embroidery in a quilt factory, he should give me a good beating."

"Don't fucking mess around, otherwise even the King of Heaven won't be able to protect him this time. Power up immediately."

The brigade commander stared and shouted loudly, obviously this time he was completely furious.

Not daring to delay any further, the communications corps hurriedly began to generate electricity for the independent regiment.

At the same time, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion stood firm and became the last line of defense to intercept the Muyue detachment.

He was leaning in the trench with a relatively relaxed expression on his face, but Zhang Dabiao beside him was shaking in anxiety.

After the telegram from the brigade headquarters was sent, Zhang Dabiao even broke into a cold sweat.

Li Yunlong, however, remained calm and shouted directly to Zhang Dabiao: "Why are you panicking? The sky is falling, and there are tall people holding it up."

At around three o'clock in the morning, the main force of the Muyue detachment advanced rapidly and was not very far from Zhang Dabiao's first battalion's blocking position.

They left their heavy baggage in the Walled City, so the troops moved faster and became more mobile.

Kigoshi Jiro naturally knew that the Walled City might be hit, but he kept the main force of the third brigade.

Twelve heavy machine guns, two infantry guns, two anti-tank guns, and two infantry squadrons.

There are about 600 combat troops, not to mention they also have four transport squadrons and about 500 heavy troops.

These heavy troops can also pick up weapons and equipment to fight at critical times.

As long as they block the opponent's attack here, the cavalry of the Muyue detachment can quickly return to support.

Even depending on the situation, their main force can also return to support.

"Captain, we found an enemy blocking position ahead."

"Xingxi, order the troops to prepare for battle."

Zhang Dabiao's blocking position was quickly exposed, and the main force of the Muyue detachment began to prepare for the attack.

At this time, here in the Walled City, because it was so easy to capture this place, the remaining troops of the little devils were not very vigilant.

And they also knew that they were short of troops, so they deliberately concentrated their troops in the city for defense.

It was at this time that the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion, which had evacuated from the Walled City along the horoscope, directly killed a carbine.

They appeared directly on both sides of the Walled City, and the troops deployed quickly.

A large number of grenade launchers began to secretly approach the Walled City and reach the designated area.

The mortars, infantry guns, and flat-fire guns of the machine gun battery were ready to fire at the same time.

"Enemy, report, enemy troops found!"

Although it was at night, the Japanese soldiers were little devils, not idiots.

Two battalions of more than a thousand people appeared on both sides of the Walled City. It would have been impossible if they hadn't noticed them.

"Enter a fighting state and prepare for defense. These Tuba Road are simply dreaming if they want to attack the Walled City."

"They can't even defend. If they come to attack now, they are just here to die. Guard the surrounding earth walls."

Captain Shao Zuo of the Third Brigade was very relaxed and said with a disdainful tone.

The first brigade attacked before and captured the Walled City in an instant.

Although not all of the third brigade remains behind, the main force is here.

Even though their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the First Brigade, Captain Shao Zuo felt that there would be no problem if he stood firm and blocked the attack.

"Boom boom boom."

At this time, two machine gun batteries began bombarding.

Four 82MM mortars, four infantry guns, and four rapid-fire cannons fired grenades one after another.

Artillery shells fell on the Walled City one after another, and deafening explosions occurred one after another.

Twelve artillery pieces fired, and the expressions of the little devils changed instantly.

They know the situation of the Eighth Route Army. The troops that can produce twelve artillery pieces are not the Eighth Route Army.

"This is the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Pay close attention to the battlefield situation and be more vigilant." Captain Shaozuo also became serious.

The shelling continued, and two minutes later, Lu Ming began to issue orders.

The grenade launchers who arrived at the designated area set up their grenade launchers one after another.

Immediately afterwards, grenades began to be fired one by one.

At present, the independent regiment has achieved that each infantry platoon has a grenade squad equipped with three grenade launchers.

The independent regiment has a four-by-four system, with each battalion having twelve infantry platoons.

Two infantry squads, twenty-four grenade squads, a total of seventy-two grenades.

"Boom boom boom."

Grenades were fired from grenades one after another. Currently, these grenade launchers have advanced to a position about 500 meters away from the Walled City.

"Hahaha, these stupid guys, do they think grenades can destroy the fortifications here? It's ridiculous."

"The grenades fired from the grenade will not cause any harm to this place at all. These guys don't know the function of the grenade at all."

"So many grenades are completely wasted. Even if these Tubalu have weapons and equipment, they will not use them."

After Captain Shaozuo heard the sound of the grenade firing, a playful smile appeared on his face.

The caliber of the grenade is 50MM, and the grenade launched has limited power, which is slightly stronger than a hand grenade.

This is the nemesis of machine guns and can suppress firepower, but it cannot be used to build solid fortifications.

Not to mention grenades, not even 82MM mortars.
