Zhou Weihan and a group of people were on a forced march, and there were people with great ability in Li's way to support them.
At this time, soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 16th Regiment unexpectedly encountered the search team of the Sakata Regiment. Both sides reacted very quickly, occupying favorable terrain and engaging in firefights. Bullets were flying randomly in the mountains and forests.
With a "boom", a heavy machine gun fire point of the first battalion was blocked by a grenade launcher.
Seeing one of the only two heavy machine guns in a battalion being blown up by a Japs, the commander of the Battalion, eyes split open, shouted: "Move the heavy machine guns quickly, the Japs' grenades are not decorations."
The Sakata Regiment also reacted very quickly. Sakata Nobutsu ordered the Nishida Brigade to follow up quickly. When the first battalion commander saw the dense crowd of Japs coming up, he quickly ordered: "Quick, the Japs are coming up. Each company takes turns to cover the retreat."
Commander Ni of the 16th Regiment here also led his men to assist the soldiers of the first battalion, and each unit took turns to cover the retreat.
Standing on a high ground, Nobuyuki Sakata said with a smile: "Yo Xi, this is definitely the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Order the Yamadao Brigade and Yasui Brigade to follow up quickly."
"Hi" the adjutant next to him responded.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the appearance of this group of Eighth Route Army troops is really strange, as if they deliberately appeared in front of us." The adjutant said doubtfully.
"In the face of absolute strength, all strategies are in vain. The bravery of the warriors of the Empire of Japan will prove it all." Sakata Nobutsu said arrogantly.
The words were divided into two parts. Zhou Weihan had already joined forces with Li Da.
"Captain, if we go further, there will be a guard post and a search team for the Japs." Li Daben came forward to report.
"What's the situation ahead?"
"Captain Li of the new regiment has already started fighting with the Japs in Cangyun Ridge."
"Cangyun Ridge?"
Zhou Weihan wondered who planned this. After all, Li Yunlong ended up fighting against the Bantian United team he had been talking about in Cangyunling.
The battlefield conditions were constantly changing, and the plan that had been arranged by the brigade headquarters had long been disrupted. The brigade commander simply changed his tactics and arranged Li Yunlong's new regiment to defend the flanks at Cangyunling, with the 772nd Regiment and the 17th Regiment respectively.
At this time, in the Cangyunling position, a squadron of Japanese troops formed a skirmishing formation and were making a tentative attack.
This is a classic tactic of the Japs. First, a small group of troops conduct a tentative attack to force our side to expose its firepower, and then carry out precise artillery strikes.
In the early battles, because we were not familiar with the tactics of the Japs, our army suffered a lot.
Li Yunlong deployed two lines of defense in Cangyun Ridge. In order to prevent Japanese bombardment, a large number of holes were dug, and there were many observation posts on the ridges of the ridge.
"The little Japs are testing our firepower. Don't fire the heavy machine guns. Put the little Japs in and greet them with grenades." Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, shouted loudly.
In an instant, fierce gunshots rang out from the Cangyunling position.
The three light machine guns at the forefront fired at the same time. Several Japanese soldiers who were charging forward were immediately knocked down. The remaining Japanese soldiers saw that the situation was not right and immediately fell to the ground, looking for bunkers on the spot and erecting them.
Light machine guns and grenade launchers fired at the First Battalion. Although Zhang Dabiao's First Battalion had fortifications as a barrier, they could not gain the upper hand in the confrontation!
Zhang Dabiao saw that the Japs were attacking again under the cover of machine guns, so he had no choice but to order the heavy machine guns to fire.
"Open fire all! Kill these little devils who are mothers but not mothers!" As he said this, he picked up a light machine gun and fired at the little devils.
In an instant, three heavy machine guns formed a tight crossfire, and the bullets were like tongues of flames sweeping toward the Japanese squadron a hundred meters away.
A squadron of Japs were stunned by such firepower and began to retreat in confusion.
Seeing this, Zhang Dabiao shouted quickly: "Hurry, hide in the holes, the little devils are about to start shelling."
On the artillery position of the Sakata Regiment, Commander Yokoi Ichiro showed a smile, put down his telescope and said to the observer beside him: "Concentrate all artillery fire to immediately destroy the Eighth Route Army's firepower point."
The artillery observer looked away from behind the artillery mirror, put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Hi!"
"Immediately correct the shooting of Zhu Yuan."
Zhu Yuan quickly corrected the shooting of the eight mountain artillery and field artillery. The retreating Little Japanese squadron had just retreated less than two hundred meters. The shells had already landed on the new regiment's position, pointing directly at the light and heavy firepower points just exposed. The entire
The position was blown beyond recognition!
The artillery fire of the Sakata Regiment continued to pour on the Cangyunling position.
"Damn it, the little devil is so rich. He must have fired hundreds of artillery shells in just one moment. Why is there no movement from our artillery?" Li Yunlong said jealously while hiding in the pothole.
"I have to let this old devil Sakata taste my power. Zhuzhu, after the bombardment is over, pull up the Type 92 infantry cannon and blast the fucking Sakata Regiment headquarters for me."
"Captain, have you forgotten? Didn't the pillar and the cannon tell the brigade commander to leave?" said the guard Huzi on the side.
386th Brigade Provisional Headquarters.
"Great, the enemy's artillery finally took action." The brigade commander observed with his binoculars.
"Let the artillery battalion immediately destroy the artillery position of Sakata Regiment"
The artillery position at the brigade headquarters has long been ready for action. There are six 75 mountain guns and six combat defense guns from the new second regiment. The brigade headquarters has two 13-year-old 75 mountain guns and two 17-year-old 75 mountain guns.
A Type 92 infantry gun of the New Regiment.
"Swish, swish, swish," the seventeen cannons opened with full firepower, and the artillery position of the Sakata Regiment suddenly fell into a sea of fire.
"Commander, the artillery position of Sakata Regiment has been destroyed by us." The observation post remaining outside reported.
"Great, this wave of artillery shells was well received. Without the artillery, Bantian Regiment is like a tiger without teeth. I must fight with him." Li Yunlong said loudly.
"Baga, when did the Eighth Route Army have such a large-scale artillery force? Send the order and attack across the board." Sakata Nobutsuru dropped his telescope angrily and said.
This time the attack was no longer one squadron of 140 or 50 men, but two entire brigades.
The troops were divided into three groups and launched the charge. Xitian Battalion attacked from the front, and Shandao Battalion detoured on both wings. The Japs still used the simplest and most practical old tactics.
But this time, the little devil's tactics that have been tried and tested many times failed to work!
First, the Nishida Brigade, which was attacking frontally, encountered brave resistance from the New Regiment. The light and heavy machine guns of the New Regiment were not destroyed because they withdrew into the potholes in time.
The Nishida Brigade, which attacked head-on, suffered a heavy loss due to lack of psychological preparation. The Shandao Brigade, which detoured from both wings, was also attacked by the firepower of the 772nd Regiment and the 17th Regiment.
Inside the Sakata Regiment headquarters, Sakata Nobutsu's expression suddenly changed. Not only had his own artillery been knocked out, the enemy's firepower points had not yet been knocked out.
"Baga, the Chinese firepower point has not been destroyed? And the flanks are actually heavily guarded!"
By the time Zhou Weihan arrived with supplies, the battle at the Cangyunling position had already reached a fever pitch. Even with artillery support, the first line of defense still changed hands repeatedly, and the position was littered with corpses.
"Captain, this kid from the Bantian Regiment is really tough. Even with such casualties, he can still launch a charge," Dong Jiang said, pointing to the battlefield ahead.
"That's the end of the war. Without artillery, the situation is over."
"Let's go, it's time for us to take the stage and add fuel to the Sakata United team."

Now Sanshui doesn't dare to describe irrelevant plots in a large space, for fear of being said to be indifferent, so the next chapter is finally about Zhou Weihan's performance.
