Immediately, Li Yunlong led the soldiers to withdraw from the Japanese position.
Of course, Li Yunlong was not defenseless against the Japanese, so he sent a company to the rear.
Even if the enemy comes again, you still have enough time to react.
In the original drama, although Wang Chengzhu killed Nobutsu Sakata, the effective force of the Sakata Regiment was not eliminated. Instead, the new regiment suffered heavy losses, even Zhang Dabiao was injured.
But now, of the two brigades that Sakata placed on the main peak of Cangyun Ridge, one brigade has been completely wiped out, the other has been defeated, and the Japanese artillery squadron is gone.
In addition, the commander of the unit, Nobutsu Sakata, was killed, and the remaining Japs fell into a leaderless situation.
Li Yunlong said loudly.
"Be smart with your hands and feet, and don't leave a bullet or a gun to the Japanese!"
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat!"
"We also want the gun that was blown to pieces. We can take it back and repair it, maybe it can still be used!"
"Tear off all the cotton-padded clothes on the devil's body!"
The 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Infantry, which was previously wiped out by the New Regiment, has not yet cleaned the battlefield and has not picked up its weapons and equipment.
The passing soldiers picked up the Japs' 38-inch cap, pulled off the bullet bag, took away the cantaloupe grenade, and took off the Japs' cotton-padded clothes.
The losses of the New Regiment in this battle were not great, with only more than 100 casualties, while the Sakata Regiment suffered more than 1,400 casualties.
After cleaning the battlefield, Li Yunlong led the new regiment to retreat towards Yujialing.
Only corpses were left on the ground, covered in white flowers.
…
Yujialing is the blocking position of the 772nd Regiment and the weak point of the Japanese encirclement.
This time the Japanese army assembled a section of the 36th Division and more than 10,000 people from the 4th Brigade, setting off from Wu'an, Liao County, Wuxiang and Lucheng respectively.
A large-scale raid was carried out on the Eighth Route Army base areas, targeting the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the 129th Division Headquarters, and the location of the Eighth Route Army field hospital.
At this time, the soldiers and civilians in the base area had just repelled a raid by the Japanese enemy. They did not expect that the second raid by the Japanese army would come so suddenly.
Moreover, there are still many troops, and the main force has not had time to jump to the outside line, so it is temporarily in a passive position.
In order to cover the transfer of the division headquarters and field hospital, the regiments of the 386th Brigade fought against the Japanese army in the Jinzhong area.
At this time, the division headquarters and field hospitals had all been transferred, and the regiments of the 386th Brigade began to break out one after another.
Yujialing, on the position of the 772nd Regiment.
The regiment leader Cheng Shifa put one foot on the trench, raised the telescope on his chest, and looked at the Japanese position opposite.
The Japanese deployed two blockade lines in the direction of Yujialing. Although the number of troops was small, light and heavy machine gun fire points were set up at each exit.
It is not that easy to break through the tight encirclement first.
The communications soldier bowed and ran to Cheng Shifa and saluted: "Regiment commander, I just received the order from the brigade headquarters. The new regiment has decided to break out of the encirclement from the front of the Bantian regiment. The brigade commander ordered your troops to leave Yujialing as soon as possible.
The direction points out from the Japanese encirclement!"
Is Li Yunlong crazy?
After listening to the signal corps's order, Cheng Shifa had only one thought in his mind.
Disobeying orders is courting death.
To break through Sakata United's front is to seek death.
Although he and Li Yunlong didn't deal with each other, they were still old comrades in the Fourth Front Army.
Cheng Shifa wanted to save Li Yunlong at this time, but he could not disobey orders.
"Hey!" Cheng Shifa punched the trench fiercely and sighed.
Immediately he shouted loudly: "Send my order and prepare to break out!"
In fact, the 772nd Regiment was the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
The real 772nd Regiment is one of the two main regiments of the 386th Brigade. Most of the soldiers were adapted from the Fourth Red Army. The combat effectiveness and fighting will of these old Red Army troops are no worse than those of the elite Japanese troops.
Like the New Regiment, the Independent Regiment is just a basic regiment. Although the establishment of the basic regiment is the same as that of the main regiment, it has insufficient soldiers and equipment.
Therefore, the core group generally only has about 1,000 people. Two people can't share a gun, and the bullets can only be used for 5 rounds per person.
Like the New Regiment, a basic regiment only developed for one year in Li Yunlong's hands and became more capable than the main regiment. It was the only scorpion in the entire Eighth Route Army.
The communications soldier crouched, walked up to Cheng Shifa with small steps, and whispered: "Commander, all battalions are ready!"
Cheng Shifa turned the brim of his military cap to the back of his head, holding a shell gun in his hand, and turned around and shouted: "Bullhorner, blow the charge horn!"
The rapid charge horn sounded, and the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment suddenly jumped out of the trenches and charged towards the Japanese positions.
As a last resort, the 772nd Regiment could only break into pieces and disperse to break out of the encirclement.
If a group concentrates on breaking out of the encirclement, the nearby Japanese soldiers will definitely outflank them as soon as they receive the news, making it even more difficult to break out of the encirclement.
There was only one platoon around Cheng Shifa, and there was not much ammunition left. The Japanese built a heavy machine gun firepower point at the concave commanding heights.
Just after turning two corners, the Japanese's Type 92 heavy machine gun began to scream wildly, and bullets poured out like raindrops. Three or four soldiers were caught off guard and were hit by the machine gun bullets. They fell to the ground, and their wounds were bleeding profusely.
, Cheng Shifa quickly waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop advancing.
Cheng Shifa poked his head out to see what was going on, and a burst of machine gun bullets hit him, sending sand and rocks flying around Cheng Shifa's head.
So he quickly retracted his head, and there was only one machine gun fire point. What was terrible was that the mortar was out of shells, and the only crooked machine gun in the guard platoon was running out of ammunition.
If we rush all the way, I'm afraid these people will have to explain here today, and someone will be needed to blow up the firepower points with grenades.
Cheng Shifa turned around and shouted: "Xiao Li, give me a few grenades, quick!"
"Captain, I'm going!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard platoon leader rushed out like a whirlwind holding a bundle of cluster grenades.
Cheng Shifa: "Quick, cover fire!"
The machine gunner lay on the ground with a crooked machine gun, pouring 6.5mm caliber machine gun bullets at the enemy's machine gun firepower point.
The guard platoon leader is extremely fast and has rich combat experience. He has been running S-curves to try to avoid Japanese bullets.
But the Japanese machine gunners were also experienced. A 7.7mm machine gun bullet hit the guard platoon leader in the leg. The guard platoon leader groaned and fell forward to the ground.
As expected, the next round of bullets will definitely hit the guard platoon leader.
At this moment, Cheng Shifa only heard Xiu's scream, as if something flew past him.
The next moment, there was a violent explosion on the Japs' machine gun position. Accompanied by fire and mud mist, the four Japs and the heavy machine guns were suddenly thrown into the air.
Cheng Shifa and the soldiers around him looked towards the rear and saw countless Eighth Route Army soldiers emerging from the original position of the 772nd Regiment.
"It's Captain Li and the others!" A soldier shouted in surprise, "The new regiment is breaking out towards us!"
Cheng Shifa quickly picked up the telescope and looked over. Through the telescope's field of view, he saw Li Yunlong standing next to a cannon with a flower trap hanging on his chest.
Next to Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the new regiment all seemed to have flower traps hanging on their chests.
Cheng Shifa lowered the telescope, his face full of disbelief.
