Both Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong knew very well why Li Yunlong didn't pull Chu Yunfei to do it together.
Li Yunlong said this to give Chu Yunfei a bit of a thumbs-down.
Do you have to make it clear to Li Yunlong that your Chu Yunfei's 38th Regiment is too weak for me, Li Yunlong, to look down on?
Chu Yunfei did not continue to talk about this matter. He continued to talk about it just to make himself unhappy.
Chu Yunfei changed the subject and said: "Brother Yunlong, there is still a Japanese army that bites us in the back. We should go to Datong City and wait for reinforcements. When your new group of troops arrives, maybe there will be some
Chance destroyed the 3rd Brigade."
In Chu Yunfei's view, only the cavalry could do so in such a short period of time.
The Japanese army still had almost a regiment of troops. Even if Li Yunlong brought most of the cavalry regiment, plus the 38th regiment, he would not be a match for the Japanese.
Of course, Chu Yunfei could also propose to work together to kill the 3rd Brigade and let the Eighth Route Army cavalry charge first, followed by the infantry of the 38th Regiment.
However, doing this is tantamount to asking the Eighth Route Army cavalry to die. They made this trip so hard to save the 38th Regiment. He, Chu Yunfei, could not do such a thing, and Li Yunlong would not agree to it.
So the best way now is to go to Taiyuan and wait for help.
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a disdainful tone: "Brother Chu, how can the remnants of the 3rd Brigade get the chance to take action as the main force of the new regiment?"
Chu Yunfei sighed: "With your cavalry and my 38th regiment, I'm afraid you are no match for the remnants of the 3rd brigade."
Li Yunlong looked behind Chu Yunfei. There was a large area of darkness filled with soldiers from the 38th Regiment. It looked like the losses were not big.
So he said: "My cavalry plus your 38th regiment will naturally be difficult to defeat this group of devils. Plus my No. 000 infantry, it will be almost the same."
Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up slightly: "Brother Yunlong, you also brought Infantry No. 000?"
Li Yunlong nodded: "Yes, they all came by car. Although they are not the main force of my new regiment, which is the militia county brigade level, they are all American-style equipment, and their combat effectiveness is not weak."
Chu Yunfei was so envious that even Li Yunlong's militia and county brigade were equipped with American equipment.
Looking at the new regiment of cavalry, most of them are equipped with semi-automatic weapons.
It's almost astonishingly rich.
Chu Yunfei suddenly discovered that Li Yunlong's cavalry battalion commander was not there, but he didn't ask any more questions.
However, all the cavalry wore steel helmets on their heads. Chu Yunfei had seen this type of helmet last time he went to the New Regiment, but he didn't expect that even the cavalry wore steel helmets.
Chu Yunfei could see some envy in the eyes of the soldiers of the 38th Regiment.
Both the Japanese army and the Communists like to call the Eighth Route Army Tubalu. The main reason is that the Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped and poorly dressed, with less than five rounds of ammunition per person, and they don't even have decent logistical supplies.
But now, Tuba Road, which has always been looked down upon by people, has much better equipment than them.
"In this case, Brother Yunlong, let's do it!" Chu Yunfei said in a condensed voice.
At that moment, Li Yunlong waved his hand, and a communications soldier from the cavalry battalion urged the troops to come forward and handed the low-power walkie-talkie to Li Yunlong.
Picking up the walkie-talkie, Li Yunlong turned on the channel and put the walkie-talkie to his ear: "I am Li Yunlong, calling the third district!"
After a while, Yang Jiuping's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Reporting to the leader, I am Yang Jiuping, please give instructions!"
Yang Jiuping was relieved when he heard Li Yunlong's voice. The cavalry was a high-risk unit, and Li Yunlong was taking the lead, so Yang Jiuping was frightened.
If something happens to Li Yunlong, Political Commissar Zhao will have to kill him when he returns.
Li Yunlong asked: "Where have you advanced to the three divisions?"
Yang Jiuping said: "We have just finished dealing with the enemy's artillery positions, and they are on their way to your place."
"Now the Japanese are surrounded by us on two sides." Li Yunlong said, "I order your three divisions to arrive within one minute. Let's attack the Japanese from both sides together."
Yang Jiuping's voice was full of anger: "Yes, leader!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Yunfei felt envious again. Even the communication equipment equipped by the new group were top-notch foreign products.
This made Chu Yunfei even more curious about the origin of the mysterious person behind Li Yunlong.
Suddenly, Chu Yunfei's expression changed, and he asked tentatively: "Brother Yunlong, have you brought your large-caliber heavy artillery? If you bring your large-caliber heavy artillery, it will be easy to capture the remnants of the 3rd Brigade."
"Brother Chu's intelligence work is quite good."
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong said: "We even got the information that I am equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery."
Li Yunlong naturally saw that Chu Yunfei was tempted.
But it didn't matter to Li Yunlong. This time the new regiment served as the main force to attack the 36th Division, and the strategic weapon of large-caliber heavy artillery had been exposed to the Japanese and Japanese.
What's more, Li Yunlong's trump card is not just large-caliber heavy artillery, so he might as well admit it openly.
Cats and dogs from all over the province come to join the gang. Before someone wants to start a fight, they will first weigh their own weight to see if they can resist a beating.
When Chu Yunfei heard this, he couldn't help but shrink slightly. The news he got two days ago was that the new regiment was suspected to be equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery.
But now that I heard Li Yunlong admit it personally, I was really shocked. He is so damn rich!
but.
Chu Yunfei was smart enough not to ask Li Yunlong how many large-caliber heavy artillery pieces he had. He knew that Li Yunlong would definitely not tell the truth.
Because if Chu Yunfei was equipped with some large-caliber heavy artillery, he would definitely hide it like a treasure.
…
at the same time.
At the location of the supplies captured by the new regiment.
Battalion Commander Yang Jiuping has already eliminated the remaining soldiers in the Japanese artillery position.
At the same time, Huang Erhu also conveyed Li Yunlong's order to Yang Jiuping.
More than 80 cars have been driven over.
Yang Jiuping said to the guard: "Order the 3rd company and the company to stay and carry the supplies. After the transportation is completed, the vehicles will immediately send the supplies back to Zhaojiayu. The 3rd company will drive all the mule carts back to Zhaojiayu."
Although Li Yunlong did not give the order to drive the mule cart back to Zhaojiayu, Yang Jiuping understood very well.
These mule carts most likely belonged to the 38th Regiment, were robbed by the Japanese, and are now captured by a new regiment.
Logically speaking, these mule trains have nothing to do with the 38th Regiment.
The battle was all about logistics. There were more than 100 mule carts in this batch, and they could transport 400,000 kilograms of supplies at a time.
Mules are easier to raise than military horses. They only need to eat grass and concentrate when working.
Although the new regiment is equipped with some vehicles, there are not many, and as the strength of the army grows, the army's demand for logistics transportation becomes greater. This batch of mule carts just makes up for the shortage of logistics.
The guard responded loudly: "Yes!"
After the arrangements were made, Yang Jiuping took another seven infantry companies and artillery companies and continued to advance.
…
Japanese army position.
The Japanese infantry were ready for battle at the commanding heights on both sides of the road.
I saw Major General Yin Sanxiong again, holding up his binoculars and looking in the direction where the Eighth Route Army cavalry was leaving, with a cold and sinister expression on his face.
He never dreamed that a troop of Eighth Route Army cavalry would come out from behind.
After thinking about the sound of artillery coming from the rear, seeing Yin Sanxiong again, he knew clearly that his mountain artillery brigade was finished.
In addition, the infantry suffered heavy losses, and the 3rd and 1st Infantry Squadrons sent to protect the artillery brigade have also been wiped out.
They had just been stabbed in the eyes by the Eighth Route Army cavalry and suffered at least 400 casualties. Now there are less than 3,000 people left in the entire 3rd Brigade.
】
Seeing Major General Yin Sanxiong again, he had never suffered such a big loss on the Chinese battlefield.
At this moment, a Japanese reconnaissance cavalry came on horseback. When it came to Zhongjian Yin Sanxiong, he quickly reined in the reins, paused and reported: "Report to the brigade commander, a large number of Eighth Route Army infantry were found in the rear!"
There was intensive artillery sound from the rear, and this artillery sound was obviously not a 7mm mountain gun.
The Japanese were not fools, so they naturally realized that behind them were not only the Eighth Route Cavalry, but also the Eighth Route Army infantry and artillery.
Therefore, the Japanese scout cavalry spread out far away. As soon as Yang Jiuping and his troops passed the place where the supplies were seized, they were discovered by the Japanese scout cavalry.
Seeing Yin Sanxiong again, he asked: "How many people are there in the Eighth Route Infantry?"
"No less than 1,000 people!" the Japanese reconnaissance cavalry replied, "carrying heavy weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns. By the way, these Eighth Route Army soldiers all wear steel helmets on their heads."
Toda Yoshiji, who was on the side, his face darkened: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, this must be the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Currently, this is the only Eighth Route Army unit equipped with steel helmets."
This morning, the 3rd Brigade had a firefight with troops from the 6th Division of the Eighth Route Army, so we knew about the situation of the new regiment being equipped with steel helmets.
"Nani?" Yin Sanxiong's expression changed when he saw him again, "Is it a new group?"
When the captains on the side heard this, their expressions also changed.
The 3rd Brigade has gone from having an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion to less than 3,000 people now, all thanks to the new regiment.
In the Battle of Baozi Mountain, more than 3,000 people of the 3rd Brigade were wiped out, which directly wiped out the title of Brigade Commander of the previous brigade commander Masao Miyazaki.
Toda Yoshiji suggested: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the enemy may number 7,000 people, and there is also a cavalry regiment. We cannot fight forcefully. I suggest that we evacuate immediately."
"The Eighth Route Army has cavalry." Seeing Yin Sanxiong again, he said worriedly, "I'm afraid it's not that easy to evacuate."
Toda Yoshiji took out the map and looked at it. He pointed at the map and said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we can't go back to Datong. There is a small road here that leads to Yunzhou County. You can send soldiers from one to two squadrons."
After the break, the main force went to Yunzhou County."
"Yo Xi, let's do it like this. The 6th Squadron will be responsible for breaking up the rear, and the main force will move towards Yunzhou County!"
Seeing Yin Sanxiong again, he nodded. When he was attacked from both sides, he couldn't beat him hard. The combat effectiveness of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was too strong.
Trapped in the wilderness with no reinforcements, it would only be a matter of time before the 3rd Brigade was wiped out. It would be better to escape.
"Hi!" Toda Yoshiji turned around and went to give the order.
The 6th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade was left behind. It was said to be a rearguard, but in fact it was just cannon fodder. When they saw Yin Sanxiong again, he led the main force of the 3rd Brigade to escape towards Yunzhou County.
More than ten minutes later.
Yang Jiuping arrived with soldiers from the third division, and first set up an 8mm mortar to blast the Japanese positions.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong led the Eighth Route Army cavalry from the other side to rush into the Japanese position, slashing and killing indiscriminately, and quickly eliminated the Japanese 6th Squadron, which was responsible for breaking up the rear.
At this time, both Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei discovered that the main force of the 3rd Brigade was escaping from the alley.
Li Yunlong did not intend to pursue anymore. On the one hand, the small road was not suitable for the cavalry, and on the other hand, the cavalry had more important things to do.
However, Chu Yunfei was extremely angry. Just now, the 3rd Brigade was chasing the 38th Regiment with all its might, which made the 38th Regiment so embarrassed.
If you want to run away now, how can there be such a beautiful thing?
At that moment, Chu Yunfei led the 38th regiment to pursue them along the path.
However, the Japanese were not easy to mess with. When they saw that only the 38th regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army was chasing after them, they were not polite. They turned around and launched a counterattack, beating the 38th regiment back again.
