In the recent artillery bombardment, the independent regiment fired more than 400 artillery shells of various types in a very short period of time, killing more than 800 Japanese soldiers. The remaining 1,200 Japanese soldiers, led by the regiment commander Takahashi Ryo, quickly evacuated their original positions and ran away in the direction they came from.

After the shelling ended, Zhang Dabiao immediately led a battalion to charge the enemy's position. However, he only killed more than 300 wounded Japanese soldiers who had no time to retreat, and captured more than 1,000 puppet soldiers, which made him very depressed.

When the independent regiment was bombarding, the puppet army brigade commander Feng judged the current situation and knew that following the Japanese to escape would definitely lead to death.

If the Eighth Route Army was not absolutely sure, they would never have deployed so many heavy artillery, and the shells would have been thrown at them like crazy.

The only way to survive now is to surrender. After all, even if all the Japanese are dead, they will not surrender voluntarily. However, the puppet army does not have this psychological pressure. Surrendering is a basic operation if they cannot win.

Zhang Dabiao saw a large number of puppet soldiers kneeling on the ground with their guns raised in surrender. He felt very disgusted and kept cursing these spineless guys.

However, since these guys had already surrendered, the regulations required him to gather them together, so he could only leave behind one infantry company, and the rest of the troops followed him to pursue the remnants of Takahashi's regiment.

It was already daybreak at this time. Zhang Dabiao first ordered the first company of the first battalion to ride bicycles and advance ahead to slow down the enemy's escape as much as possible. Most of the first battalion arrived soon after.

Because the Takahashi Regiment retreated in a hurry, all of their heavy weapons were lost. Apart from the Type 38 rifles, the Type 99 light machine guns and the grenade launchers, there were basically no other weapons. And because many people got out of bed, they even forgot to take their bullet belts.

After running two miles, Takahashi Ryo hurriedly ordered his men to count the number of people and found that there were only more than 1,100 people left. On average, each soldier had only 40 bullets in his hand, and they basically had no strength to fight anymore.

At this time, the shouts and cries of the pursuers were heard from behind. Captain Takahashi had no choice but to leave a small team of Japanese soldiers behind as a cover while the rest of the people continued to retreat.

Seeing this, the pursuing company hurriedly got off the tricycle, unloaded the heavy machine guns and mortars from the tricycle, and sent troops to encircle the enemy, preparing to kill these Japanese devils.

Before setting off, Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao had instructed that if they encountered an enemy blocking force, they should try to bypass it if possible, and if they couldn't, they should just attack directly.

A small squad of defeated soldiers facing a company of more than 300 Tiger Guards cannot hold out for long. We want to use this salami-slicing method to continuously consume the enemy's strength.

When the remnants of the Gaoqiao Regiment had just walked three kilometers, they encountered a small river. Fortunately, there was a stone bridge on the river. However, when the Gaoqiao Regiment was about to cross the stone bridge, the bridge was suddenly blown up.

Then Ding Wei led the New 1st Regiment out of the woods nearby. When the Japanese saw this scene, they were scared half to death and started cursing wildly, saying that this was too immoral, giving them hope and then destroying it with their own hands.

With no other options, Takahashi Ryo could only leave behind a remnant brigade of about 200 people to fight the enemy, while the remaining 800-odd people set out on the road to escape.

Ding Wei was not in a hurry either. He sent out the most mobile battalion to pursue them, and the new 1st regiment was responsible for killing the remaining 200 Japanese devils.

Since we can't have the main course in this battle, we can have some cold dishes. If we can kill more than 200 elite Japanese soldiers with minimal casualties, it will be a small achievement.

Gao Qiaoliang led the team to run for a distance, and happened to meet Kong Jie leading the New Second Regiment who blocked the main road. He had no choice but to leave another two hundred people behind and escape from another small road.

It’s a pity that the big net has been fully deployed, and no matter how the Japanese struggled, they could not escape the ultimate destruction.

After several more struggles, Takahashi Ryo only had more than 300 people left. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he could only occupy a hilltop and attempt a last-ditch struggle.

The Takahashi Regiment's radio station was also lost during the chaos in the morning, and now they can't ask their superiors for help even if they want to.

At this time, the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the New 1st Regiment, and the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the New 2nd Regiment all surrounded them. These troops together numbered about 5,000 people.

When Takahashi Ryo saw this scene, countless sad thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind. He never expected that he would one day reach the end of his road.

His ending today is in line with an old Chinese saying: "Besieged on all sides and ambushed on ten sides."

However, our troops are not in a hurry to attack. The enemy is already trapped in a jar, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out. Now we can fully utilize the advantages of artillery to consume the enemy's ammunition.

After Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao met up, they asked curiously, "Captain Zhang, why didn't Lao Li come?"

"We completely wiped out an entire regiment of the Japanese. This is a great feat, and it was accomplished mainly by the independent regiment, with our two regiments as auxiliary."

"According to Lao Li's personality, he should be the one taking the spotlight at this time. Why isn't he meeting others?"

"Captain Ding, our captain has told us in advance that you and Captain Kong will be in charge of the final battle, and all the spoils will belong to your two regiments. Our captain has something urgent to do and is going to the military district headquarters."

Hearing Zhang Dabiao say this, Kong Jie was even more puzzled. The war was already over, so why did Li Yunlong go to the military district headquarters?

Even if you rush to report your achievements, it will not be too late to report after the battle is over and the results are counted.

Besides, before the war, he and Lao Ding had expressed their views that everything should be based on the independent regiment, and the credit for annihilating an entire regiment of the Japanese devils would be attributed to him, Li Yunlong. There was no need to take off his pants and fart like this.

Kong Jie had a good relationship with Zhang Dabiao, and he was once the deputy head of the independent regiment, so he jokingly asked:

"Da Biao, is Lao Li hiding something from Lao Ding and me? This is too unkind. The three of us are brothers from the same class. How could he do this?"

Zhang Dabiao realized that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he decided to tell the two captains at the same time. After all, the overall situation had been decided and there was no need to hide it.

So he pulled the two team leaders aside and whispered the whole story in their ears.

When Ding Wei and Kong Jie heard that Li Yunlong used the special forces to get the Japanese regiment flag out and that they were now on their way to the military district headquarters, their mouths opened wide for a long time.

The two men couldn't help but admire Li Yunlong for being so brave that he dared to do such a risky thing. If any problems occurred in the Xingtian Special Forces, it would not be unfair at all to demote Li Yunlong from the regiment commander to a cook.

Anyway, the two brothers didn't dare to take the risk of sending a small troop into the enemy's belly to cause trouble. Only Li Yunlong could do it. It is worthy of being the place where the first special operations team of our army was born.

However, the two had to admit that the special forces took such a big risk and gained huge benefits.

Compared with the intact capture of the Japanese regiment flag, the credit of completely annihilating an entire Japanese regiment became a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

No wonder Li Yunlong was not interested in the last remnants of the Japanese devils. There was no comparison between the two.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were filled with excitement when they thought about the tremendous credit their three regiments had achieved in this battle.
