The Japanese artillery's combat power is average, but the infantry's combat power is indeed very strong. Especially in positional warfare and tough battles, they showed military qualities that were more than one step higher than the Eighth Route Army.

Even though they claimed to be elite New Sixth Regiment, under the shock of the Japanese desperation, they felt very stressed.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong came quickly with the Independent Regiment's troops and seized the Japanese's retreat at the critical moment. They really might not be able to defend the Yongle stronghold. After all, when they attacked, they had already destroyed the Yongle stronghold. This is the Japanese infantry going to support the troops lightly, and they did not carry heavy weapons... The heavy machine guns left by the Japanese invaders were cheaper in the New Sixth Regiment, otherwise the situation would be more difficult.

After all, the Japanese were soldiers in a large squad. The three thousand people in the Independent Regiment plus the two thousand people in the New Sixth Regiment, a total of five thousand people were unable to wipe out the Japanese... and some of them ran away.

Although he was unable to capture the stronghold in the Jiuxian County in the end, he also destroyed the railway station in the Jiuxian County, wiped out an artillery brigade, and broke up the establishment of an independent brigade. The battle of Yongle was considered a great victory, and the victory had already reached the brigade headquarters.

The New Sixth Regiment and the Independent Regiment, which had not yet broken up, also received orders from the brigade department.

Since a hole had been torn on the Lintun Highway, the independent regiment directly drilled out of the encirclement and destroyed the enemy's hinterland. Taking advantage of the familiarity of the base terrain, it was elusive and specialized in fighting the Japanese scattered strongholds, which gave the Japanese a headache.

Although the New Sixth Regiment received the order to go to Yan'an, because the leader was not there, he still needed to find the leader first... so he continued to explore and advance along the Lintun Highway while going to Subao Town to meet up with their leader.

Outside the town of Subao.

Zhang Xiu looked at the sky speechlessly.

Lying on the hillside, with a grass hanging in his mouth, a little depressed.

A while ago, it was a matter of fighting there. It was all right to rely on plug-ins. But this time he met this group of Japanese devils, which made him sigh that he had not practiced enough. In addition, the battle in the old county that should have ended, perhaps these Japanese devils would not come out easily.

When fighting, what about the war?

My originally impetuous heart has really smoothed him out a lot in the past or two days.

"Captain, the investigation has been done." Zhao Guorong quietly touched it and whispered: "The terrain in the southwest of Hanluo Village is dangerous, and there are mostly steep walls on both sides of the road... It is convenient for our army to set up an ambush... I and the local militia have joined forces, saying that the Japanese in the stronghold are killing chickens and sheep, and are still cleaning around the stronghold, as if they are going to celebrate the festival..."

"Oh?" Zhang Xiu's spirit suddenly came to his senses: "This is interesting."

"Captain, do you think the group of Japanese devils in the Subao stronghold are going to go there?"

"I think it's 80% that's not during the holidays. Why did he do this?" Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we've been here. We've been waiting for more than a day, and we don't care about waiting for more than a day. We'll set up an ambush in Hanluo Village... If the Japanese in Subao Town don't come out, we'll use the Japanese in Hanluo stronghold to do the attack. Damn... We can't just go for nothing, Tang also needs to find an opportunity to take a breath."

"Send someone to show me where Huaizhong and the others are gone."

"yes!"

"It's coming just right, I'll arrange a combat mission now."

"I still have to fight?" Li Huaizhong was slightly stunned. He thought that the regiment commander had misconduct this time and would give up the Japanese in Subao Town directly...

"Captain, the commander asked us to solve the matter at hand and go to Yan'an." Wang Chengzhu whispered, and Li Huaizhong forgot to say it just now.

"Go to Yan'an?"

"There are big moves there. All troops in Shanxi have drawn some of the main forces to guard Yan'an. Because our Taiyue Military Region is in an anti-sweeping campaign, we sent a regiment... The commander said, let us not fight and rushed to Yan'an."

"I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat the meat that I can't eat." Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment and said decisively: "I will finish this battle even if I leave."
