Chapter 0273: The Battle of Lijiapo (End)(1/2)
Li Jiapo.
The leader of the new second regiment looked at the team that had retreated again with tears in his eyes.
Eight times!
From the beginning to now, the New Second Regiment and the New First Regiment have launched a total of eight attacks against Li Jiapo's Japanese positions, but they have never been able to take down Yamazaki's brigade, and their own side has suffered numerous casualties.
"Tell me the order and be prepared for the offensive! This time I lead the team to attack. If I don't take Li Jiapo, I will buried it there!" Captain Cheng gritted his teeth and ordered, and at this time the correspondent reported:
"Telephone number of the regiment commander, brigade commander."
Commander Cheng walked to the phone with a shame and took the call: "Brig Commander, give me another chance! This time, I will definitely take Li Jiapo. If I can't take it down, I will bury me there!"
"What? Is it Li Yunlong again? Why is it always his good things? Brigade Commander, our regiment attacked eight times in eight hours, and more than half of the Yamazaki Brigade had suffered casualties. At this time, let the independent regiment be on the way. Isn't this let them get ready-made? Brigade Commander, I can't figure it out!"
"Yes, execute the command!"
Captain Cheng closed his eyes in pain and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat!"
withdraw!
At the command of the regiment commander, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment, who had fought for eight hours, closed their eyes in pain. For eight hours, he had a regiment of more than 1,500 people, and now there are less than 600 people left.
"Li Yunlong, you can't beat Li Jiapo, you and I will never finish it!" Captain Cheng roared angrily and his voice in the distance, heart-wrenching.
...
The advancement of the Independent Regiment encountered the soldiers of the New Second Regiment who were retreating silently.
Looking at the team of severely reduced personnel and countless wounded people, Zheng Yingqi slowly stopped and saluted them, watching them leave here with a sense of reluctance and hatred.
After watching the New Second Regiment leave, Zheng Yingqi said to the soldiers in the fourth platoon in a deep voice: "Comrades, the friendly forces have laid the foundation for us. We must take down Lijiapo! Kill Yamazaki Brigade!"
"yes!"
A large number of soldiers from the first battalion came to the steep slope of Lijiapo. With the order of the battalion commander Guan Dashan, the soldiers of the first battalion carrying shovels stepped forward one after another and began geotechnical excavation.
The soldiers from the fourth row took their seats one after another and entered the cover position built by the New Second Regiment. Under the order of Zheng Yingqi, they threw a large number of smoke-prone objects on the battlefield. The second row of smoke was on the broken position and shot against the Japanese.
The sudden reduction in intensity of the attack and the unexploded attack made the Japanese suspicious. Soon the Japanese discovered the troops that were digging - Yamazaki, holding a telescope to check, and soon understood what the Independent Regiment was thinking.
Yamazaki suddenly panicked - the biggest disadvantage of the circular position on the circular table is that the defense depth is insufficient. Once the charge distance is shortened by the Eighth Route Army, in the absence of depth, Yamazaki Brigade must fight in close combat with the Eighth Route Army. But if it is in close combat, how many hand-to-hand combat can Yamazaki Brigade withstand?
"Fire the cannon! Fire the cannon!" Yamazaki was anxious and roared and ordered.
Mortars and grenade launchers opened fire, but the traffic trench dug by the first battalion of soldiers was only a few dozen centimeters wide. Unless they hit directly, the mortars and grenade launchers could not threaten the first battalion of soldiers who were digging.
But it was not absolute. A mortar shell hit the traffic trench. While exploding a section of traffic trench, it also directly knocked down several soldiers who were digging. But the next moment, several more soldiers followed the traffic trench and carried the wounded and the dead, then took over their duties and continued to dig the ground.
The Japanese panic increased the artillery attack, but at this time, the artillery battalion temporarily under the command of Li Yunlong also began to show its power, and the Japanese had to transfer their artillery positions. At this time, the six existing large conscience cannons of the Independent Regiment were in a panic. Under the control of the engineer platoon, the large conscience cannon sent six huge explosive packs into the Japanese position.
The bombing of heavy artillery comparable to large caliber made the Japanese confused. If they hadn't witnessed the huge explosive pack falling from the sky with their own eyes, they would have thought that the Eighth Route Army of China would have been preparing to have heavy artillery.
"What is the Eighth Route Army using to launch explosive packs so far?" Yamazaki became even more and more panicked. He had been thinking about nailing the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army here, allowing reinforcements to divide the troops and attack together, and in one sentence, he made great contributions to the empire's conscience, but judging from the current situation, this wish is getting farther and farther away!
The Japanese around were confused. They thought to themselves that the Eighth Route Army used a trencher to throw the explosive bag so far?
At this time, the first battalion had dug more than ten meters, and Yamazaki didn't bother to find out what it was. He ordered: "Order the Ono Squadron to be prepared! Once the Tuo Eighth Route digs more than half, immediately rush down to occupy the traffic trench and blow it up! Grenade launcher, don't stop!"
The first battalion digged and advanced from constant casualties, and the four rows of cover were also shooting continuously.
After shooting against the target, Zheng Yingqi soon realized that something was wrong - in less than twenty minutes, seven or eight rows of soldiers were shot and killed.
The fourth platoon was shooting with the help of the cover fortifications left by the New Second Regiment. It is logical that there would not be such a high casualties. After all, with cover and not a charge, how could such a high death occur?
In the absence of artillery fire, a large number of casualties will inevitably occur during the charge. How could eight casualties occur in less than 20 minutes?
With vigilance, Zheng Yingqi slowly searched the Japanese position with a telescope. The flashing reflections made him alert. After searching for a while, Zheng Yingqi finally confirmed that there were two Japanese holding sniper rifles hidden on the Japanese position.
"Does the Japanese 97 sniper rifle or the 99 sniper rifle?"
Zheng Yingqi then transferred his position, found a position that was quite appropriate, and looked for an opportunity.
At this time, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion continued to dig and dug out several traffic trenches more than 40 meters long. The Japanese did not dare to let the first battalion dig any more. A large number of Japanese suddenly rushed out of the position and started charging with a strange cry.
Seeing the Japanese charging, Li Yunlong was not angry or happy, and laughed and said, "Just wait for you!"
Before he could order, the light machine gun roared - the Independence Regiment had long been different from the past. The firepower of more than fifty light machine guns was not blown. A terrifying firepower net suddenly appeared, and the Japanese attacking fell to the ground like harvested wheat.
On the Japanese position, Yamazaki saw a large number of Japanese devils falling to the ground and cursed angrily: "Baga!"
He was fooled!
He always thought that the Eighth Route Army Group was the same as the previous Eighth Route Army Group, and there would not be too many machine guns. He didn't expect that the others not only had, but also had so many, there were so many, but they didn't expect that they would always keep covering and not show up. When they charged, they suddenly showed up at critical moments.
Heavy losses!
Yamazaki suppressed his anger and the urge to order the withdrawal, hoping for a miracle to happen, but this was obviously a dream. The organized light machine gun firepower was continuously fired. In just over ten seconds, seventy or eighty Japanese fell on the way to charge, and the remaining Japanese were lying down in despair and crawling tenaciously.
The time for shooting is up!
The light machine guns began to fire, and the four platoons undercover also tried their best to deal with the Japanese who were trying to approach the traffic trench. The Japanese went crazy. The artillery and infantry fired at the Eighth Route Army's cover fire together, trying to suppress the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the two Japanese snipers began to shoot desperately.
This is the opportunity that Zheng Yingqi has been waiting for for a long time, aiming and shooting.
Aim, shoot.
In less than 20 seconds, the two Japanese snipers died together. Until they died, they did not expect that they would have been targeted long ago - and in such a fierce battle, the death of the two snipers did not show any waves on the battlefield.
Finally, after the first battalion paid more than 40 people, the traffic trench was dug forty meters away from the Japanese circular position. At this location, the Japanese grenades could be thrown over, and the Eighth Route Army's grenades could be thrown over.
Arrived at the place!
The first battalion stopped digging, and a large number of grenades were placed in the basket and sent to each soldier's hands. Just as the first battalion commander Guan Dashan was preparing to give an order, Li Yunlong touched it from behind, "Wait, wait, Zheng Yingqi, don't you say something about the Japanese? I'll send a greeting to the Japanese Yamazaki for me and tell him that I'm going to fight him one-on-one!"
"Captain, are you crazy?" Zheng Yingqi looked at Li Yunlong in shock.
Li Yunlong kicked again, and scolded while kicking: "Can you speak? Just tell the Japanese devils Yamazaki as I said, "What's so much nonsense? Monk, bring the iron horn over!"
He was ready for it, even the iron horn was ready.
"You are the leader of the group, you have the final say." Zheng Yingqi rolled his eyes wildly. Why is the evil taste of his own leader who loves to fight one-on-one? Last time he faced Oda Squadron, he fought with others. Last time he faced Mitsui brigade, he shouted to fight Mitsui, but he was chased by Mitsui for more than ten miles. He is coming this time!
[Would you like to make the brigade commander hear it? Then get rid of the regiment commander?
Zheng Yingqi thought while walking, but after all, she just thought about it. If she deliberately cheated her own team leader, what if she was trapped by the team leader and kicked her a few more times from time to time?
Although the leader of his group still kicks himself from time to time...
He came to the end of the traffic trench with an iron horn. Zheng Yingqi carefully raised the horn and said in Japanese: "Listen, Japanese pirates, we are the Independent Corps of the Eighth Route Army. Our regiment commander said that as long as you put down your weapons, he can spare you. If you are stubborn, you will definitely be hit by the thunder of our Eighth Route Army. There will be no place to die when you die!"
Yamazaki was furious when he heard this, and pulled out his command knife and shouted: "Baga, the Imperial soldiers will not surrender! Beat me!"
Several rifles opened fire and smashed the iron trumpet into pieces.
"Captain, the Japanese will not fight you alone!" Zheng Yingqi immediately shouted to the back.
"Damn, you have to say this? I'm not blind!" Li Yunlong shouted depressedly: "These Japanese are too cowardly and dare not fight me one-on-one!"
Li Yunlong, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, was depressed and finally caught a captain. Unexpectedly, he was still a coward without eggs. Didn’t he say that the Japanese cherish the honor of warriors? Why are they all like this bird?
A staff officer looked at Zheng Yingqi who was holding a broken trumpet with a weird look. Last time he met the Mitsui brigade, the commander asked Zheng Yingqi to call in Japanese and asked Mitsui to come out to fight alone. Zheng Yingqi shouted, "Japanese pirates, our regiment commander said, if we have the ability, we will catch up and beat us. If we can't catch up, we will go back to your small land to carry the woman, and few ants will swallow elephants and come to us to make trouble."
This time it was even more amazing. He actually shouted that the Japanese were surrendering? Are you really not afraid that others would report to the commander and kick your ass to pieces?
Wait?Kick?
After thinking of this action, the staff member showed a little clarity - yes, it would be strange if the generals made such a mistake and were not beaten to death by the regiment commander, but if they made such an insignificant mistake, they could only kick a few times...
Just when the staff officer sighed that people were incomparable to others, Guan Dashan had already led the first battalion of soldiers to take their baskets of grenades in place.
"Blow it!"
Li Yunlong ordered with anger.
"leave!"
At the order of Guan Dashan, the soldiers of the first battalion began to throw.
At the same time, the great conscience cannon, which had been silent for a long time, also ignited the fuses under the order of the engineer platoon Zhang Gengergou.
On the circular position, the Japanese were waiting for the Eighth Route Army's attack from the storm. The light and heavy machine guns were waiting to be launched. Countless officers and generals saw the swords and waited for orders.
But at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened - like a locust exploded, but it was not a locust, but dense grenades that rose from the trench near you like dark clouds, and poured down like a rain curtain.
"ah!!!"
Countless Japanese gangs couldn't help but scream.
Even if the power of the Eighth Route Army's grenades is small, even if the Eighth Route Army's grenades remain silent and become dumb, but there is no chance of life under such grenades that cover the sky and the sun?
boom!
The explosion sounded, and then it was like a wealthy family setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.
The explosion of firecrackers represents joy, but the continuous explosion of these grenades is like a death talisman to the Japanese - all the Japanese understand this one, it's over!
When the explosion was getting weaker and still not stopping, the second battalion commander Zhang Dabiao had already stood up with the commando soldiers, and there were sporadic grenades flying towards the Japanese position. Zhang Dabiao led the 2nd Battalion commando to rush into the traffic trench. They rushed out of the traffic trench a few seconds before the explosion stopped and rushed to the Japanese position.
"Run!"
The first battalion commander Guan Dashan was not willing to be outdone. Before waiting for the follow-up troops of the 2nd battalion to rush from the traffic trench to the frontier of the Japanese, they shouted. All the members of the first battalion carried a cold rifle and began to charge.
To be continued...
