After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

Yushuling logistics base.

This place is located in Lijiaopo, and is also the rear base of the Eighth Route Army. It has logistical facilities such as military factories, field hospitals, and clothing factories.

The entire Eighth Route Army stationed in northwest Shanxi had to rely on this base for logistical supplies.

It can be said that this place is of vital importance to the Eighth Route Army!

However, at this time, the base had already turned into ruins, and even the border area no longer existed.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

On the battlefield, the Japanese's ferocious heavy machine guns burst into flames continuously, and bullets were fired mercilessly towards the front.

Under such fierce firepower, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were charging were unable to resist at all.

Even though their fighting spirit was extremely strong, they were unable to withstand such fierce firepower head-on.

The Yamazaki Battalion occupied the advantageous terrain and fired their bullets and grenade launchers at the Eighth Route Army soldiers as if they were free.

Not long after, the 772nd Regiment's charge was beaten back again, just like the previous ones!

"Damn it! What on earth is this 772nd Regiment doing?"

In the battlefield command post, the brigade commander angrily put down the telescope in his hand and slammed the table.

The tremendous force even made his palms turn red, but the brigade commander seemed to be completely unaware of the pain and was still full of anger.

"It's only been a short time since the battle started, but we've already suffered most casualties! We've been repelled after eleven charges?"

"What kind of main force group is this? I think they are just making dough! A group leader like this is only fit to feed livestock!"

Seeing the brigade commander so angry, the chief of staff beside him smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brigade commander! This can't be blamed on Blind Cheng. The 772nd Regiment suffered heavy losses and has almost spent all its resources."

Since the battle began, the 771st and 772nd Regiments had organized eleven attacks.

The casualties of the troops have reached a critical point, and the two regiments are almost wiped out.

Wave after wave of soldiers launched the charge, but were repeatedly beaten back by the extremely fierce firepower of the Yamazaki Battalion.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. The Eighth Route Army had outdated weapons and equipment, lacked guns and cannons, and had no decent heavy firepower.

In contrast, the Yamazaki Battalion seemed to be well prepared. Not only did they carry a large amount of heavy firepower, but they also occupied the commanding heights right from the start. They had more than thirty grenade launchers alone!

Once the 772nd Regiment launched a charge and tried to close the distance and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, they would be attacked by heavy firepower from the Yamazaki Battalion!

The brigade commander was also very angry about this: "Damn it! Can this mere Japanese brigade really turn the world upside down?"

"I don't believe this devil's defense is really an iron wall. Replace them immediately!"

Listening to the brigade commander's unquestionable order, the chief of staff hesitated: "That being said, but brigade commander..."

The brigade commander interrupted without further ado: "Alright! Get ready to change people!"

After more than a dozen charges, they failed to capture the Yamazaki Battalion. Even if the offensive continued, it would only increase casualties.

The 772nd Regiment had suffered heavy casualties and could not withstand the next charge. He actually couldn't bear to wipe out the entire regiment.

What's more, the Yamazaki Battalion must be captured. If the Japanese are allowed to run rampant in the heartland of the Eighth Route Army, wouldn't that be a joke to Commander Yan of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?

You know, the other party is currently holding a meeting in Daxia Bay, and basically any movement here will be noticed by them.

If we don't deal with the Yamazaki Brigade quickly, who knows how the boss will scold us!

Seeing the brigade commander's tough attitude, the chief of staff had no choice but to remain silent.

After a brief consideration, the chief of staff spoke again: "But Brigade Commander, the 771st Regiment has just been replaced, and now the 772nd Regiment is being replaced. Who should our troops replace next?"

The brigade commander thought for a moment, then said without hesitation: "What about the New 1st Regiment? Li Yunlong is a smart guy, who knows what new tricks he can come up with."

The chief of staff laughed bitterly and said, "Commander! The New 1st Regiment has been assigned to take on the security duties of Daxia Bay and cannot be transferred for the time being. Have you forgotten?"

"Besides that, Kong Jie's independent regiment is too far away to make it here. Ding Wei's new second regiment can be contacted, but there is a problem with the telephone line, so a messenger has to be sent to pass on the order. This back and forth..."

The Eighth Route Army’s radio stations were not well-equipped and could only contact brigade-level units. For the regiment-level organizations below, they could only use telephone lines.

Even if we send a messenger over to give the order now, it will take at least half a day!

The brigade commander rubbed his brows helplessly: "Are there any other troops that can be contacted now? As long as they can be contacted, let them come over immediately!"

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment: "If we don't consider other factors, we can really contact a unit right now."

"Which unit?" The brigade commander frowned.

The chief of staff pondered for a while, as if he was organizing his words: "Do you know the 65th Division of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army? When the 65th Division received the news that the Japanese had sent troops, it immediately sent several of its troops to the Yixiantian defense line to assist us in deploying defenses."

The brigade commander was a little skeptical of such a good thing: "When did the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army become so kind?"

The chief of staff smiled helplessly: "I guess they are worried about the safety of their commander Yan. After all, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army does not want to see Commander Yan get into trouble in our Eighth Route Army. This will be a serious blow to both armies."

"That makes sense." The brigade commander nodded, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and his face showed joy, "Did they send out the 358th Regiment? I heard that the 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment!"

The 358th Regiment is very famous in the northwest of Shanxi. It originated from Huangpu Military Academy and has strong soldiers and horses under its command. It cooperated with its own New 1st Regiment to repel the Japanese invaders at Cangyunling. It was hard for the brigade commander not to notice it.

If it is really the 358th Regiment that has arrived, then this battle will be won. At least the heavy firepower of the Yamazaki Battalion will not continue to be so arrogant.

However, in response to the brigade commander's question, the chief of staff shook his head in embarrassment: "It seems not. According to the 65th Division's information, this advance force seems to have been ordered...ordered to come here specifically to dig trenches."

"Digging trenches?" The brigade commander frowned again. "Isn't this just a militia digging and filling pits?"

The brigade commander waved his hands repeatedly: "Even our main force regiment of the Eighth Route Army couldn't take the city after a long attack, why should we let the reserve troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army come and die?"

"If Commander Yan knew about this, he would think I was deliberately trying to trick the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

Seeing that the brigade commander refused immediately, the staff officer was helpless: "Brigade commander! Now that our two armies are fighting together, the devils are the biggest enemy in front of us!"

"Our troops have suffered heavy casualties. Even if we can just let that troop come over to dig fortifications and use earthwork to help us catch our breath, that would be good!"

The battle situation is now in a stalemate, and they are adopting a wheel tactic, with each unit taking turns to fight.

The purpose is to use this method to consume the manpower of the Yamazaki Battalion to the greatest extent!

In this case, it doesn't matter whether the other side is a reserve force or a militia.

"Alas!" Thinking of this, the brigade commander couldn't help but sigh deeply, "For now, we can only try our best to save the situation!"

"Go ask that friendly force and see if they are willing to lend a hand."

"Yes!"
