Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

The artillery and cavalry companies of the independent regiment were holding back in order to deliver a fatal blow to the Yamazaki Battalion at the most critical moment.

At the same time, this also gave Captain Yamazaki an illusion that his opponent was only the garrison troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the reason why he fought so desperately was to ensure the safe transfer of the important departments behind him.

In order to completely and firmly attract the Yamazaki Battalion, Li Yunlong specifically ordered the people behind to pretend to be panic-stricken, carry various pre-made models onto the carriage, and quickly move to the back of the mountain.

Captain Yamazaki was fooled. He ordered his men to attack as quickly as possible and sent people to notify the other two troops to come as quickly as possible.

It’s a pity that this area has been blocked by Kong Hao’s special forces. Except for the first group of people sent by the Japanese to notify, the rest were like a stone sinking into the sea and never returned.

Moreover, Ding Wei and Kong Jie led two main forces respectively to ambush on the road that the Japanese had to pass. With an advantage of four times the enemy's strength, they managed to wipe out two groups of Japanese.

Although our troops also suffered heavy casualties, with the New 200st Regiment suffering more than 100 casualties and the Independent Regiment suffering more than 75 casualties, most of them were injured, and the total number of soldiers killed on the spot was only .

The two Japanese armies had a total of 800 people, all of whom were wiped out, and no one escaped. The total fighting time here was only two hours.

After all, we had planned our attack deliberately, with a force four times that of the enemy, and we deliberately used ambushes and surrounded them on all sides. Even if we gave the Japanese wings, they would not be able to escape destruction.

If they can't fight this kind of war of abundance well, Ding Wei and Kong Jie will be laughed at by Li Yunlong for the rest of their lives, and they will not be able to survive in the army.

After the battle, each of them left behind a company to clean up the battlefield and take care of the wounded, while the remaining main force quickly gathered towards Base No. 2 and surrounded the remnants of the Yamazaki Battalion on three sides.

Also because the Independent Regiment, the New 1st Regiment and the Special Operations Team all have a radio, the three parties can coordinate closely and act in unison.

When Li Yunlong learned from the radio that the two old friends had finished the work, he specifically asked Zhang Dabiao to notify them not to hit the Yamazaki Battalion too hard, but to pretend that they were unable to resist, so as to give the enemy some hope.

We must not let old man Yamazaki notice that something is wrong at this time. If so many Japanese soldiers run away, it will be difficult to surround them.

After receiving the order, Zhang Dabiao replaced the Fourth Company of the First Battalion, which had the worst combat effectiveness. As Li Yunlong had expected, they were easily approached by the Yamazaki Battalion, and even the first line of defense was breached.

Fortunately, Zhang Dabiao quickly deployed the well-rested company to the position in time, and relying on the advantage in numbers, he drove the Japanese out in hand-to-hand combat and finally stabilized the position.

Faced with this situation, Captain Yamazaki felt relieved. They were almost able to break through the position. As long as they worked harder and consumed more artillery shells, they could defeat the Eighth Route Army defense forces in one fell swoop.

In the next two hours, the Independent Regiment paid a huge price to barely hold the position, as if Yamazaki could break through as long as he sent out another complete team.

But Yamazaki had no choice. His troops had been used to the limit, and even the lightly wounded were involved in the attack, but in the end they still fell short.

However, since the troops had been fighting for so long, he decided to take a break and wait for the other two troops to arrive before taking over the opposite position in one fell swoop.

According to the distance and time, he could gather thousands of troops to flatten the opponent's position in an hour at most.

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side retreated and showed no signs of attacking, Li Yunlong arranged for the troops who had just fought a hard battle to go down and rest.

Time is on the independent regiment's side now, so he is not in a hurry at all.

About an hour later, Ding Wei and Kong Jie both sent telegrams stating that all the troops were in place and were waiting to launch the final general attack.

However, Li Yunlong still asked the two to wait and act in unison when the Japanese devils on the opposite side launched an attack again.

Captain Yamazaki had been resting for a long time but had not waited for the other two troops to arrive and join him. He felt that something was wrong and that something must have gone wrong.

However, he would be unwilling to let him lead his team away at this point. He could not just throw away the military achievement he had just obtained, so he decided to attack one last time.

If it succeeds, it would be the best. Not only can we gain merit, but even if something unexpected happens, we can rely on the fortifications in front of us to hold on and wait for the arrival of the large force from the rear.

If you still cannot take it, retreat temporarily, meet up with the reinforcements behind, and then come back to attack together.

Next, the artillery preparation of the Yamazaki Battalion increased a lot, and all of a sudden the positions of the first battalion were engulfed in flames. Many positions could not withstand the long-term attack of the artillery, and many gaps appeared.

When Captain Yamazaki saw this, he immediately felt that he was back to normal, and quickly put all his troops into the attack.

Zhang Dabiao also felt that the time was ripe, and hurriedly sent all the men in the Fourth Battalion to the position to resist the final attack of the Yamazaki Battalion.

At the same time, he ordered all the soldiers in the first battalion to be ready, and once the two teams behind launched an attack, they should follow him and rush out of the position.

Today's battle made this fierce general very depressed. Although his defensive ability was not bad, it was not as enjoyable as attacking. This time, he finally waited for the opportunity to attack.

In one battle, 1,500 Japanese field troops were killed. The Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment will become famous among the Eighth Route Army units. It’s exciting to think about it.

The independent regiment has been nicknamed "dough" for a long time. Although it has achieved a lot of results during this period, they were all small-scale battles. At most, it only killed a squadron of Japanese devils.

The Independent Regiment played the most important role in destroying the Yamazaki Battalion this time. From now on, who will dare to say that the Independent Regiment is a piece of dough?

After the Yamazaki Battalion threw all its soldiers into the battle, Ding Wei and Kong Jie respectively sent out the most combat-effective reconnaissance companies of the regiment, and slowly moved towards the artillery positions behind the Japanese.

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were very envious of the Type 92 infantry gun of the artillery squadron of the Yamazaki Battalion, and they even discussed the post-war distribution.

One gun for the Independent Regiment, one gun for the New First Regiment, and the rest will be handed in. In this way, the strength of the artillery companies of the two regiments can be doubled.

After all, having one Type 92 infantry gun and having two Type 92 infantry guns are completely different concepts.

In order to capture the Japanese artillery positions as quickly as possible, the two reconnaissance companies were equipped with a large number of Mauser pistols and submachine guns. It was easy to deal with a few artillerymen.

There was no other choice. In order to capture the position of the Independent Regiment, Captain Yamazaki even sent out the team guarding the artillery to attack.

The result was no surprise. The two reconnaissance companies quickly killed all the Japanese artillery and set up defensive fortifications on the artillery positions to prevent the remnants of the Yamazaki Battalion from destroying the precious artillery.
