Zhang Dabiao led the remaining 400 soldiers of the first battalion to the front.

Looking at the densely packed craters on the ground ahead, he felt that even if there were any Japanese soldiers still alive, they would probably be breathing heavily more often than breathing heavily.

This type of rocket launcher is a nightmare for infantry.

"Da da da da..." At this moment, the sound of a machine gun suddenly came from a bunker in front.

A barrage of bullets instantly knocked down several soldiers. The bunker was very close to them, only about a hundred or eighty meters away.

"Whoosh!" The first battalion also reacted very quickly.

The demolitionist raised his RPG and fired a rocket. Several soldiers pulled the trigger at the bunker almost at the same time.

Several armor-piercing rockets hit the bunker, causing a huge explosion and the Japanese machine guns stopped.

When the smoke cleared, the bunker was blown apart.

"keep going!"

After seeing that the threat was lifted, Zhang Dabiao ran out of the bomb crater and commanded the first battalion to continue clearing the remaining firepower points.

After clearing out the remaining outposts on the periphery, the First Battalion encountered a real tough challenge.

A large number of Japanese troops hid in the ruins of the stronghold and put up a stubborn resistance.

Although the rocket launcher destroyed the buildings of the stronghold, many Japanese soldiers still survived.

The 41st Regiment suffered extremely heavy casualties at this moment, but their fighting will still allowed them to resist tenaciously.

The Japanese soldiers were very accurate in their shooting, and many soldiers fell to their precise cold gunfire.

"Damn it, let the artillery fire a few more rounds."

Seeing that there were still so many Japanese soldiers resisting at Huting, Li Yunlong ordered the three battalions to withdraw first. After all, there were still a lot of artillery shells. And they could be replenished when Li Jingrong came next time.

So he used them without regret. It was worth using these shells to exchange for a Japanese regiment.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The bright lights of rockets appeared again in the sky above the Huting stronghold. The Japanese artillery units had been completely destroyed in the previous rounds of shelling.

The current commander of the regiment, Shiro Koizumi, no longer has the arrogance he once had, and is left with only endless regret.

If I hadn't taken the initiative to attack, would the situation have been much better? And what was the situation of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side?

Why is there such a thing as heavy artillery, and why can it fire so many shells at a time?

There was no point in regretting it. Their only hope now was reinforcements, and they were expecting them to arrive quickly.

“Boom boom boom…”

Rockets blasted through the Huting stronghold once again, and the smoke and dust from the explosions instantly enveloped the entire stronghold.

After firing hundreds of rockets again, the three battalions launched another general attack.

This time, we must capture the Huting stronghold. More than a thousand people from three battalions launched a final fierce attack on the Huting stronghold.

A soldier holding an 81 rifle would fire a burst of bullets at the Japanese without saying a word when he encountered them.

At this time, the independent regiment's firepower advantage was fully utilized.

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan was not as fierce as Zhang Dabiao, but he just held a Type 81 rifle honestly.

With his sharp eyes, he discovered that there were several Japanese soldiers tinkering with something in the ruins.

He immediately picked up his rifle and switched it to continuous fire mode.

"Da da da....."

Muzzle flames spurted out. The dense barrage of bullets knocked several Japanese soldiers to the ground. Only then did he see clearly that these Japanese soldiers seemed to be tugging at something.

"Come on, some people, follow me."

The second battalion commander called about a squad of soldiers and walked towards that direction.

On the way, they encountered several Japanese soldiers who rushed towards them with bayonets.

Without a word, Shen Quan fired a burst of bullets. "We're all equipped with automatic rifles, so who wants to fight you with bayonets?"

As for the so-called Bushido spirit? Sorry, this thing doesn't exist in China.

Shen Quan kicked the body of a Japanese soldier away and saw a large stone slab on the ground pressing down something.

These Japanese soldiers were just moving this thing.

"Move it away."

Shen Quan immediately realized that there must be something valuable inside. With the combined efforts of several soldiers, the stone slab was easily lifted.

It turned out that this stone slab was pressing down the entrance to the underground passage, which was originally covered by a wooden board.

But when the huge rock fell, it smashed out the underground passage below. As for where this underground passage led to, they didn't know.

"Go down!"

Shen Quan and the others carefully entered the underground passage. The underground passage was brightly lit, and it was obvious that there must be an independent power supply system here.

Otherwise, the power system would not have survived such a fierce bombardment. Generally speaking, places with such things often mean that there are important facilities here.

"Baga, who's coming in?"

The footsteps of Shen Quan and others were still very clear in the terrain passage. Just as they were about to pass the corner, the bird calls of the Japanese soldiers were heard over there.

Without saying a word, Shen Quan took out a Type 82 grenade and threw it over.

"boom......"

A gust of air came from the corner, and Shen Quan and others subconsciously raised their arms to block it.

When the grenade exploded and the smoke had not yet cleared, gunfire was heard inside.

Shen Quan immediately realized that many of the gunshots were from the Japanese's Wangba Box, also known as the Nambu pistol.

"Fuck, this is the Japs' underground headquarters."

Now Shen Quan finally understood what was going on here. He had never expected that this old devil, Koizumi Shiro, was so smart that he actually set up his headquarters underground.

When the dozen or so soldiers heard that this was the Japanese regiment headquarters, their eyes lit up immediately. Taking down the enemy headquarters was a great achievement.

Everyone at this moment is like a wolf that has smelled blood, ready to attack.

"Prepare the smoke bombs and grenades. As soon as the enemy's gunfire subsides, throw grenades in."

The soldiers immediately understood his intention and threw several smoke bombs.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

White smoke instantly filled the passage. The Japanese soldiers inside panicked again and fired frantically at the smoke.

In less than ten seconds, the gunfire stopped. At this moment, several soldiers' Type 82 handleless grenades slipped out of their hands and were thrown directly into the passage.

"Boom boom boom..." A series of explosions sounded, accompanied by the screams of the Japanese soldiers.

"Everyone, follow me in."

Without saying a word, Shen Quan rushed out with the Type 81 rifle.

At the same time, the muzzle flame began to jump and the bullet penetrated the smoke. As for what was hit, it depended on luck.

The rest of the soldiers quickly followed, creating a storm of bullets.

When they passed through the smoke, everyone's eyes lit up and they finally saw what was happening here.

To be precise, this is a cellar that was urgently converted into a temporary underground command center.

The space was not very large, and a few grenades basically killed everyone inside.

Among them was the commander of the 41st Regiment, Shiro Koizumi, as well as several lieutenant colonels and majors.

After seeing this scene, Shen Quan couldn't help but smile.

I thought to myself: Zhang Dabiao, Zhang Dabiao, no matter how fiercely your battalion charges this time, it will not be as great as my contribution.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh triumphantly. Shen Quan was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Dabiao, who had taken his position as battalion commander.

He always wanted to prove himself on the battlefield, and this time he did it...

He also had the capital to show off in front of Zhang Dabiao. It must be said that the power of the rocket launcher is indeed unparalleled.

Especially in a place like this where there are not many fortifications. After all, the Japanese didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to be able to break in.

So when the rockets came, they didn't even have much place to hide. Under the repeated attacks of the rockets, the losses were extremely heavy.

When the last wave of rockets hit, there were less than a thousand Japanese soldiers left in the entire stronghold.

Many of them were terrified. The Bushido spirit seemed so pale and powerless under the rocket launcher.

In less than three hours, the independent regiment cleared out all the Japanese troops in the Huting stronghold, completing a great feat.

In just one day, with the strength of a single regiment, they completely wiped out an elite infantry regiment, field artillery battalion, and infantry company of the Japanese army.

About 5,000 Japanese troops were completely wiped out, but the enemy also suffered heavy casualties.

In this battle, the independent regiment suffered about 1500 casualties, which is almost equivalent to the average strength of the independent regiment.

Among them, there were more than 600 seriously injured people, and these people were sent to the field hospital in the rear as soon as possible.

If the field hospital could not treat the patient, they would be sent to the headquarters hospital. Before dark, Li Yunlong led the independent regiment to evacuate the Huting stronghold.

He had originally planned to directly occupy the Huting stronghold and hold it. The geographical advantage of this place was too good, and it was also a key location.

But when he heard tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers rushing towards him, he decisively chose to retreat.

Although he was very brave, he was not brave enough to stop the attack of tens of thousands of Japanese devils.

After all, the independent regiment suffered such heavy casualties this time, so he needs to rest for a while.

"Take the soldiers to rest first. Have the logistics department provide everyone with a snack tonight. There will be plenty of steamed buns and meat."

After saying that, Li Yunlong rushed towards the regiment headquarters.

Zhao Gang led the Fourth Battalion to garrison Chenjiayu, so of course he had to find Zhao Gang to show off his achievements.

When Li Yunlong arrived at the entrance of the regiment, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. He looked at the person standing guard at the door, who was Zhao Gang's guard.

Li Yunlong leaned forward and whispered, "What's going on? Why are you all so serious?"

The guard looked straight ahead and muttered softly, "Go in and see for yourself, and you'll know."

As soon as Li Yunlong opened the door, he subconsciously closed it.

Because there was someone sitting inside with a big horse and a golden sword that he didn't want to see yet.

At this moment, a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Li Yunlong, get in here." The brigade commander's powerful voice came from inside.

No wonder the atmosphere was so weird, it turned out that the brigade commander had come to the independent regiment.

And it seems that she is waiting here for him to come back.

Li Yunlong's face immediately filled with a humble smile. He pushed open the door and groveled, saying, "Brigade Commander, how did you find time to come here? You didn't even inform me so I could go and greet you."

After hearing Li Yunlong's playful words, the brigade commander sneered and said, "I don't have the guts to let you, a monkey, take over. Tell me what's going on this time. If you don't give me an explanation, I'll remove you right now and kick you to the ground."
