On the top of the mountain.
The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Watching the tanks, armored vehicles and cavalry rolling back and forth in the encirclement, they were like iron rollers harvesting the lives of the Japanese.
Until a few hours later, there were not many Japs alive.
Although there are still sporadic battles breaking out, there are not many anymore, and it won't be long before the battle is completely over.
It was still dark at this time, and I looked at the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the ground and the dense shell craters in the field of view of the artillery team.
Li Yunlong was filled with pride and emotion, but unfortunately he only had limited ink in his stomach. Let alone his own poems, he couldn't even read a sentence of other people's poems.
"This rolling iron sweeping tactic is really powerful."
Looking at this huge battlefield, Ding Wei commented: "This old devil Okamura Neji is quite powerful."
The battle, which was expected to end in half a day to a day, was almost over in just a few hours.
At the beginning.
Both Ding Wei and Kong Jie had doubts about this tactic. After all, it was Li Yunlong's first time to use this tactic, but they still believed in Li Yunlong unconditionally.
To be honest, Li Yunlong himself was a little discouraged by this tactic, but fortunately the result did not disappoint him.
Although there were casualties among the cavalry, tanks and armored vehicles, and some of the armored vehicles and tanks were destroyed by the enemy's flesh bombs, the casualties were within an acceptable range.
The armor protection of tanks and armored vehicles is very good, and the casualties of tank soldiers and armored soldiers are not large.
The tanks and armored vehicles destroyed in the battle can be reported to Boss Chen for reimbursement.
The most important thing is that in the battle with the Type A Division, the cost of heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery was doubled.
Moreover, by destroying or capturing a Japanese car, tank or armored vehicle, a new group can obtain a car, tank or armored vehicle.
This business is customized according to the standards of the second-line division. If you destroy or seize a Japanese car, tank or armored vehicle of the Class A division, you can obtain two cars, tanks or armored vehicles.
The same applies to cannons with a caliber below 1 mm. If you destroy or capture a Japanese millimeter mountain cannon, you can obtain two American millimeter mountain cannons.
In the field of view of the artillery team's mirror, they looked at burning and destroyed Japanese cars, tanks and armored vehicles.
There are still some tanks and armored vehicles that have not been destroyed and can still be used after being captured, and there is still business in the captured ones.
Those Japanese cars that were not destroyed were all filled with combat supplies.
The corners of Captain Li's mouth turned up slightly, "This battle has made the new regiment a fortune!"
Hearing Ding Wei's words, Li Yunlong came back to his senses and asked: "Old Ding, what did you just say?"
"I said," Ding Weidao said, "Okamura Neji, this old devil, is quite powerful. There are not many people who can come up with this kind of tactics that can make me feel powerful. This old devil Okamura is one of them."
Ding Wei is also an arrogant person.
However, looking at Li Yunlong's silly expression just now, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
This guy still has the same moral character.
Now he is commanding the main force of the Wanba Route Army to fight. In addition to aircraft, he has tanks and heavy artillery. He can destroy and capture some pots and jars. It will give this guy a lot of fun.
No matter how rich he is, this guy's stubbornness will probably never change in his lifetime.
"This old devil Okamura Neji is nothing."
Captain Li said in a disdainful tone: "No matter how powerful this old devil is, he still won't be fooled by us. Maybe that old devil Okamura Neji is really Boss Chen's senior agent."
Of course, Li Yunlong was joking.
This old devil, Okamura Neiji, still has some skills, otherwise he would not have been able to become the commander of the North China Front. He even later became the commander-in-chief of the China Expeditionary Force. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he was hired by Principal Chang as the secret military adviser of the Communist Party of China.
However, it is also true that Okamura Neji is being fooled right now.
Kong Jie curled his lips: "If it weren't for the weapons, ammunition and intelligence provided by Boss Chen, Lao Li, what would you have done to fight with Okamura Neji?"
"Ningji Okamura has nearly 10,000 elite Japanese troops in his hands."
"snort."
"As for your former new regiment, Okamura Neji randomly sent out a second-line division and wiped you out."
"I'm calling you a stupid fool." Li Yunlong scolded, "Who the hell are you from? How can you demoralize your damn enemy and destroy your own prestige?"
"Old Li." Kong Jie hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that..."
At this moment, a telegraph reporter came over with a telegram in his hand and gave Li Yunlong a military salute:
"Report to the head of the regiment, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, solo travel telegram."
Li Yunlong took the telegram, read it, and said: "The solo brigade has evacuated from the ambush position to a safe area."
Although the equipment of the independent brigade has been strengthened, it mainly uses Japanese weapons and equipment, and its artillery firepower is not strong. It is definitely no match for the first division.
What's more, there is a heavy artillery regiment in Datong.
At the beginning, the mission of the solo brigade was to hold off the 3rd division for a few hours.
However, there were some changes in the battlefield situation here. The Japanese escaped with thousands of people and headed towards Datong, so the solo brigade had to evacuate.
"Since there is no independent brigade to block the attack." Zhao Gang put down the telescope and said: "Calculating the time, the second division should be arriving soon."
The straight-line distance of the entire ambush battlefield is approximately kilometers.
However, the road is not a straight line and has many curves, so the total length exceeds kilometers.
The new regiment could have retreated now, but Li Yunlong was reluctant to part with these captures.
The number of trucks from the 1st Division, probably only half of them, were destroyed. However, about half of the trucks were not destroyed.
These trucks are filled with combat supplies.
In addition, the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the 1st Division are also among the first-class in the Japanese army. After cleaning the battlefield, these weapons, ammunition, and combat materials are transported back, which can equip tens of thousands of militia troops.
Why tens of thousands of people?
Because one gun is enough for a few militiamen.
"It should be here soon." Li Yunlong looked at his watch with a stern look on his face, "Let's go meet the first division for a while."
After speaking, Li Yunlong led everyone down the mountain, and then the former enemy headquarters also began to move.

After receiving the order from the North China Front Army Headquarters.
The commander of the 1st Division, Kuroda Shigenori, led the 1st Division, Suzuki Regiment and 3rd Heavy Artillery Regiment on a rapid march.
It took a full four hours and we were finally approaching the ambush site.
There are still six kilometers away from the ambush site.
Kuroda Shigenori and Nakazawa Mitsuo were sitting in an armored vehicle. At this time, the armored vehicle was parked on the side of the road. A combat staff officer reported to Kuroda Shigenori:
"Reporting to the division commander, the infantry battalion found an enemy ambush position one kilometer ahead. However, the enemy has already left. The commander of the division, Major Yamada, judged that the enemy had been away for more than an hour and had no less than a thousand troops."
After Mitsuo Nakazawa returned to the airport by plane, he caught up by car.
The command of the Suzuki Regiment and the Heavy Artillery Regiment was taken back from Shigenori Kuroda.
In order to prevent being ambushed, Kuroda Shigenori sent an infantry brigade to explore the road ahead.
According to the fighting habits of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese all knew that in addition to retaining reserves, the Eighth Route Army would also send troops to block attacks.
With such a large formation, the Eighth Route Army must have sent its main force to block it.
"What happened when the eight-pronged blocking troops left?"
Mitsuo Nakazawa frowned suddenly, and there was an unpleasant feeling in his heart. Could it be that the battle was over?
Could it be that the soldiers of the surrounded division have been wiped out?
"Nakazawa-kun, don't worry."
Seeing this, Kuroda Shigenori comforted him: "It's possible that the blocking Eighth Route Army heard the arrival of our 2nd Division and ran away in fright. After all, it's only the Eighth Route Army with No. 4,000 or 5,000, how could it block the front of the 3rd Division?"
Yesterday at noon, Kuroda Shigenori was still telling Mitsuo Nakazawa that once the 1st Division encounters any situation in northwestern Shanxi, the 3rd Division can provide reinforcements at any time.
Unfortunately, Kuroda Shigenori was right, and the 3rd Division needed reinforcements from the 2nd Division the next day.
Kuroda Shigetori was also extremely wary of Li Yunlong and the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi.
