Headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
"Seat down the regiment!" Chief of Staff Fang Ligong hurriedly walked up the stone stairs to the regiment leader Chu Yunfei, raised his hand and gave a military salute.
Fang Ligong said: "According to the forward observation post report, the Japanese army lost more than 200 people from a squadron in just one encounter with the Eighth Route Army!"
"What did you say?" Chu Yunfei put down the binoculars with an incredible expression, "The Japanese army lost 200 people in just one confrontation?"
"That's right, just now a squadron of the Japanese army launched a probing attack on the 8th Route Position on the main peak of Cangyun Ridge."
Fang Ligong said: "I only heard an explosion, and only about 20 Japanese soldiers fled back in embarrassment. I don't know exactly what happened."
The current combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is undoubtedly very strong. The battle loss ratio between the Chinese and Japanese armies in the battle is as high as five to one.
In other words, killing Japanese soldier No. 200 would cost the lives of 1,000 Chinese soldiers.
That's why Chu Yunfei was quite surprised when he heard the news that the Eighth Route Army had killed more than 200 Japanese troops in one encounter.
And our side killed Japs No. 200 without losing a single person, which is equivalent to saving the lives of 1,000 Chinese soldiers!
"This Eighth Route Army looks unusual." Chu Yunfei asked, "Who is the commander of this Eighth Route Army?"
"It's not clear who the commander of the Eighth Route is yet, but I have sent someone to inquire." Fang Ligong said, "But across from the Eighth Route, there is the Japanese 4th Brigade Sakata Regiment. This old devil, Sakata, is not easy to mess with.
At the Xingou battlefield, a regiment defeated two divisions of the Central Army. Our 358th regiment encountered the Sakata regiment in Luye. In less than an hour, we suffered nearly 300 casualties. If we had not withdrawn quickly, I am afraid that the 358th regiment would have been killed.
The regiment has long been eaten up by Sakata United."
After a pause, Fang Ligong continued: "This group of Eighth Route Army has pissed off Bantian now. Even if they can annihilate a squadron of the Bantian Alliance, they will never be able to defeat the entire Bantian Alliance. I'm afraid this group of Eighth Route Army will soon be defeated."
Will be eaten by Sakata United!"
"Can you save this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers?" Chu Yunfei asked, "Even if we can provide some artillery fire support."
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do." Fang Ligong sighed, "Chief Yan has given repeated orders that the various departments of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army should cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in fighting. They need personal orders from the Chief Department, otherwise they will be severely punished, and there is nothing we can do."
When Chu Yunfei heard this, he could only sigh and said: "This Eight Route Army is finished!"
…
Cangyunling position.
Li Yunlong looked through the telescope and saw an antenna erected on a remote mountain.
He couldn't help but said happily: "Haha, God is going to make us, Lao Li, rich!"
Now all I can think about is finishing this deal and taking Sakata's head and command knife to Chen Feng in exchange for 20 tons of weapons and ammunition.
This time he discovered the location of the Bantian Alliance headquarters. Li Yunlong's eyes flickered, and an attack plan quickly formed in his mind.
At that moment, Li Yunlong shouted loudly: "First Battalion Commander!"
Zhang Dabiao trotted up to Li Yunlong, straightened his chest and tightened his abdomen: "Yes!"
Li Yunlong ordered: "Zhang Dabiao, assemble all your commandos for me!"
"Commander, are you going to fight hand-to-hand with the Japs?" Zhang Dabiao asked, "Our weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the Japs, but when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, we Chinese are his ancestors!"
"It's boring to play too much hand-to-hand combat." Li Yunlong said, "I want to do something new with the Japanese today!"
"Send all 100 submachine guns to the commandos so that the soldiers can become familiar with the firearms as soon as possible. Fill all the magazines for me. I will be of great use!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao straightened up and walked back.
"Hu Zi!" Li Yunlong shouted again, "Go and call Wang Chengzhu!"
"Yes!" Guard Huzi ran back.
After a while, a big man with a dark face, big shoulders, round waist, and a square face was brought in. He was artilleryman Wang Chengzhu.
Wang Chengzhu walked up to Li Yunlong and saluted with a military salute: "Report to the head of the regiment, Wang Chengzhu reports to you!"
"Zhuzi, come on." Li Yunlong pointed to the hilltop opposite, "Did you see that antenna? That must be the location of the Japanese headquarters."
Wang Chengzhu worked as an artilleryman. He often measured distances visually and had excellent eyesight. He could see the position pointed by Li Yunlong at a glance.
Wang Chengzhu nodded and replied: "Captain, I saw it!"
Li Yunlong then asked: "How about it? Is there any way to fuck him?"
At that moment, Wang Chengzhu gave a thumbs up, closed his left eye and opened his right eye, put his thumb in front of his right eye and visually measured the distance.
"Commander, the target is too far." Wang Chengzhu said, "My cannon can't hit it. Just go 500 meters further and we'll be fine!"
Li Yunlong turned around and shouted: "Pull up my Italian cannon!"
Two soldiers led the mules and horses to pull the Italian artillery into position from behind, and the mule cart behind was full of artillery shell boxes.
Seeing this field gun, Wang Chengzhu's eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs, as if he saw Jin Yuanbao, and he immediately ran towards the field gun.
While caressing and sizing him up, he asked in surprise: "Captain, where did you get this big guy?"
Li Yunlong said: "You kid, don't worry about where I got it from. Just tell me whether you can hit the Japanese headquarters with this cannon?"
"The range is sufficient, but I have never used this cannon." Wang Chengzhu said, "I'm afraid it won't be accurate."
"Damn it." Li Yunlong suddenly became angry, "What a bastard! You artilleryman can't even use a cannon. It's useless. I hope you go home and take care of your child!"
Wang Chengzhu picked up the manual and studied it for a while, then looked at the hilltop opposite.
Then he said: "Commander, as long as we advance another 400 meters and use this cannon to aim at the Japanese headquarters and fire directly, we will definitely hit it!"
"But I have a condition!"
"You've turned against me!" Li Yunlong scolded, "How dare you make terms with me? Let's talk about it!"
"If I hit the Japanese headquarters," Wang Chengzhu said, "this Italian cannon will be mine from now on."
Li Yunlong's face changed rapidly. One second he was scolding his mother, and the next second the smile on his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
"Okay, if you hit the Japanese headquarters, not only will this gun be yours, but I will also reward you with half a pound of sweet potatoes!"
"But if you miss, not only will I not reward you, I will also kill you!"
"Yes!" Wang Chengzhu immediately became happy when he heard this, straightened his body, and gave a military salute.
As Li Yunlong issued various orders, the soldiers of the new regiment began to check their preparations, inserted bayonets into their rifles, and were ready to attack the Japanese.
The communications soldier bowed his body and trotted along the position. When he came to Li Yunlong, he gave a military salute.
"Reporting to the regiment commander, I have just received an order from the brigade headquarters. The brigade commander ordered that the new regiment cover the retreat in turn and break out from the direction of Yujialing. The 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment will cover the retreat of the new regiment!"
"Retreat?" Li Yunlong flattened his mouth and looked unhappy, "Thankfully they figured it out. It's a breakout anyway. Where can we break through and not break out?"
