This place is covered with corpses of Japanese troops from the Yamazaki Brigade. According to Yamazaki Yehei's previous layout, the main battlefield was set up on three positions outside the village. There was a total of one infantry squadron and half a machine gun squadron of Japanese troops. There was one infantryman left in the village.
The squadron serves as a reserve force.
Under the fierce artillery fire attack from the artillery battalion, the entrance to the village of Lijiagou became a death zone. The mountain artillery squadron in the village also tried to counterattack, trying to destroy the artillery battalion's artillery position. However, in the face of Chen Feng's careful layout, the counterattack was ineffective.
micro.
However, the boys of Yamazaki Battalion were worthy of being selected from the elite of the 41st Division. The Japanese reinforcements that came out of the village first were annihilated by artillery fire. When the boys behind saw this situation, they reacted very quickly.
The originally dense team immediately dispersed and spontaneously began to pass through the village entrance one by one, minimizing the effects of the shelling and demonstrating a very high level of training.
At this time, the second and third battalions of the main attacking garrison also reached the entrance of the village, and the two sides immediately fought together.
"Stop the shelling, stop the shelling!" Chen Feng ordered.
"They're all fucking red-eyed, every one of them is dying!" Originally, Chen Feng wanted to use artillery fire to consume the Yamazaki brigade, but now he could only stop the artillery fire.
The morale of the garrison was strong, and the remaining troops of the Yamazaki Brigade were resisting desperately.
At the entrance of Lijiagou Village, the two sides fought in a melee, and the shouts of killing continued. However, the garrison group had the advantage in numbers and forced the little devils to retreat.
At this time, Yamazaki Yehei did not give up resistance. On the one hand, he organized Japanese troops from artillery and baggage trains to resist the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, he mobilized some Japanese troops and heavy machine guns on the east side to build firepower points in the village, trying to resist to the end.
"Your Excellency Colonel, the division headquarters called back, asking us to hold on for two hours. The plane from Changzhi Airport has taken off, and the main force of the division will arrive at Lijiagou in about half a day!" A telegram from the division headquarters
Members report.
"Baga, half a day?" Yamazaki Yehei never expected that the situation that was good before would actually turn around in less than an hour.
"Immediately call the division headquarters. The Eighth Route Army fighting with our department must be an independent detachment of Wuyi. The strength of the independent detachment was seriously underestimated before. The number of artillery the opponent has is comparable to that of the division's artillery regiment. Our soldiers are in
Under the artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army, they resisted desperately and suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers of our Yamazaki Brigade are the elite of the division, and all the officers and soldiers have a broken heart!"
"The No. 1 combat plan has expired. The independent detachment will inevitably retreat and move. The Tainan area is surrounded by mountains. If the Eighth Route Army disperses and avoids it, it will be difficult to find its traces. My subordinates suggest that the main force of the division does not need to support Lijiagou, but can directly attack Wuyi and destroy it.
The opponent's command center attracts the main force of the Eighth Route Army to return for reinforcements!" Yamazaki Yehei's words were firm, and he was determined to die.
"Hi!" the telegraph operator responded silently.
What Yamazaki Yehei didn't know was that after Zhou Weihan arrived in Lijiagou and clarified the strength of Yamazaki Brigade, he immediately ordered Li Yunlong's new regiment to change its route and go to Lucheng to support Ding Wei's 28th Regiment. Wang Yigong's fourth regiment entered Pingshun with great fanfare and forced the Japanese army
The 41st Division divided its troops.
The surrounding situation was no longer the same as before the war, and Zhou Weihan had already decided to launch the attack first.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield changed again.
Roger led the local armed forces to join the battlefield, and the Japanese army, which was already at a disadvantage, was gradually divided.
At this time, Sun Chenghai, commander of the third battalion of the garrison, was holding a big knife, his whole body covered in blood, and he was invincible.
Looking at the three little devils in front of him, Sun Chenghai did not hesitate at all and rushed forward to face the three little devils.
He slashed to the left, and then kicked the kid on his left away. The force was so strong and the kick was so cruel. Looking at the miserable look of the kid lying on the ground, it was estimated that a few ribs had been broken by the kick.
The remaining two little devils rushed forward with bayonets in hand and howling.
"The ghost is calling you mother, don't worry, I will take you home!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Roger rushed out from behind Sun Chenghai and took care of the two little devils in front of him in a few strokes.
When Sun Chenghai saw this, his eyes suddenly popped out and he shouted: "Political Commissar, these two little devils belong to me!"
"Who says it's yours? I saw it and it's mine. If you're in Moji, you won't even be able to catch a Japs hair!" After Roger finished speaking, he spotted a place where there were many Japs and rushed over.
Sun Chenghai hadn't paid attention just now, but now he looked around and saw that at some point, the garrison and local armed forces surrounded the little Japs layer by layer. More than a dozen people surrounded two or three little Japs, and even those who were too slow couldn't get a hand on them.
Outside the Lijiagou position, Zhou Weihan was always observing the situation on the battlefield.
"Report to the detachment leader, the first regiment has been ordered to arrive!" Jing Dagang reported.
"Dagang, you guys are so slow!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"Captain, I'm not bragging. In the land of Tainan, the little devil's four wheels may not be able to run as fast as our two legs!"
The First Regiment has become a pack horse, with twenty-seven heavy machine guns and mortars, and all the army baggage being transported by pack horses. Relatively speaking, the soldiers of the First Regiment have been liberated.
"Captain of the detachment, the garrison did a good job. It looks like we don't need our group!" Jing Dagang hurriedly led the troops to catch up. As a result, the brothers' troops had almost finished the work. He was worried about Li Da's ability as a veteran.
The comrades were happy, but a little uncomfortable.
"Looking at your prospects, your regiment is the sharp knife of the Tainan Military Region, with the best personnel and weapons and equipment. You are indispensable in a big battle!" Zhou Weihan glanced at Jing Dagang.
"Communicator!"
"arrive!"
"Tell Zhu Dashan that there is no need for cavalry to serve as a reserve force on the west side. All the cavalry regiments are concentrated on the east side. On the north side, no little Japs can be allowed to escape!"
"yes!"
Just as the cavalry regiment secretly assembled on both sides of the southeastern part of Lijiagou, the Yamazaki brigade also reached its last moment.
Xing Zhiguo directed the battle on the east side. Although he did not attack the top of the mountain, he successfully attracted some Japanese troops and made them afraid to concentrate their forces.
"Your Majesty Colonel, I will lead my soldiers to block the Eighth Route Army here. There is no trace of the Eighth Route Army north of Lijiagou. You and the brigade can retreat from the north slope first!" Sanno Jiro suggested.
"Retreat? The Empire's soldiers never retreat!" Yamazaki Yehei shouted angrily.
"Your Excellency Colonel, you are the only one in the division who has fought against the independent detachment. You have to pass on the situation, otherwise the division will not know the strength of the independent detachment and will suffer a big loss!" Sanno Jiro knew that he could not persuade Yamazaki Yehei, so he immediately changed
an angle.
At this time, Yamazaki Yehei did not argue anymore.
"Quickly, take away His Excellency Colonel!" Seeing the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer, Sanno Jiro directly called to the entourage of the brigade headquarters to take Yamazaki Yehei away forcibly.
In the center of the fighting between the east and west sides, a group of about twenty Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared on the north slope of Lijiagou and slipped down the north slope in a panic.
The northern slope was already steep, and the fleeing Japanese soldiers were worried about being shot from behind by the Eighth Route Army. In their hurry, many little Japanese soldiers actually slipped down the hillside.
Yamazaki Yehei was no exception, but he was luckier and didn't fall to death like the other little devils.
When he looked up, he saw countless cavalry rushing out of the mountains and forests opposite.
Yamazaki Yehei was brave enough. He pulled out his command sword and shouted at the dozen or so little Japanese around him: "Warriors, the time has come to sacrifice your lives for His Majesty the Emperor!"
As he spoke, he dragged his lame leg and rushed forward.
The cavalry on the opposite side had been waiting for a long time. Seeing their comrades fighting bloody battles at the front, they felt suffocated in their hearts.
At this time, I saw a group of little devils emerging, and I drew my saber and rushed forward.
When it comes to cavalry versus infantry, regardless of numbers, they have an inherent advantage.
During the handover, Yamazaki Yehei suffered five or six wounds, but before he could fall down, a horse that followed knocked him away like a rag.
Immediately, countless horse hooves trampled over his body. Yamazaki Yehei had no time to struggle and was trampled into a ball of mud in just a few seconds.
For the cavalry, it was just a charge, and many warriors' sabers were not stained with blood.
"Captain, this little devil seems to be a big fish, and he looks like a colonel!" A soldier stood next to Yamazaki Yehei and observed carefully.
"Urgent, hurry, damn, a good captain could have been captured alive, but now he has been trampled like this!" Zhu Dashan cursed.
