I rise from the sword

Chapter 320 The cunning Li Yunlong, who caught Yang Lin and Chu Yunfei's strong men

"Damn it! You little devil..."

Seeing the soldiers under him keep falling on the way to charge, Cheng Xiazi, the head of the 772 regiment, gritted his teeth angrily and smashed the binoculars in his hand.

"Withdraw, stop attacking!"

Seeing that the casualties of the troops were too great, Cheng Xiazi had no choice but to give an order to stop the attack.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!"

Soon, the Eighth Route Army soldiers attacking on the front line, under the cover of their own machine gun fire, withdrew from Lijiapo with the wounded.

This is already the eighth attack of the 772 regiment, and all of them ended in failure.

After 8 attacks, the total casualties of the 772 regiment exceeded 500.

As the casualties intensified, the morale of the soldiers also sank to the bottom, and they no longer had the confidence to win when they first attacked.

Brigadier Chen not far away was also watching the battle in the command post.

As an excellent commander who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has already seen that Cheng Xiazi's tactics are quite dull through the several attacks of the 772 regiment.

If you continue to attack, even if the 772 regiment can finally win the position and destroy the stubborn Yamazaki brigade.

The price he paid in the end was unbearable for him.

Moreover, what worries Brigadier Chen even more is that although the Yamazaki Battalion is an isolated enemy, its firepower is very capable.

Moreover, aircraft support may be obtained at any time.

Also, according to the information just received, at this time, there are many Japanese troops rushing towards Lijiapo.

Once it is delayed until the arrival of these devils, at that time, it will no longer be a question of whether the Yamazaki Brigade can be wiped out.

Instead, the entire 386 brigade may fall into the enemy's anti-encirclement.

Then, the Yamazaki brigade blossomed again in the center.

In this way, the consequences will be unimaginable!
It was with this in mind that Brigadier Chen ordered Li Yunlong's independent regiment to replace Cheng Xiazi's 772 regiment as the main attack.

Lijiapo position.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was repelled again, all the devils behind the bunker shouted excitedly.

"Vulnerable Chinese!"

"The imperial army must win, and the fifth brigade must win!"

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army is on board!"

The devil soldiers raised their weapons one after another, waved their military flags, and continuously shouted slogans of victory.

They repelled the 772 regiment many times, and their self-confidence was overwhelming, which boosted their fighting will.

At this moment, all the little devils in the Yamazaki Battalion believed that their Fifth Battalion was an invincible force.

After a while, Lieutenant Maeda Koichiro put away the arrogance on his face, came to Yamazaki Zhihei, gave a sudden nod, and suggested: "Your Excellency, Captain, we are surrounded by the Eighth Route Army of China. The imperial army was defeated.

However, they certainly won't let it go.

And with the passage of time, more and more Chinese soldiers will gather here. Our situation does not seem to be optimistic. In order to be safe, I suggest that we should break through as soon as possible. "

Yamazaki Zhihei shook his head, held the handle of the knife with both hands and slammed it heavily on the ground, and said with a cunning smile: "No, no, no, you are wrong Maeda-kun, we are not surrounded, but the center is blooming!"

Although Yamazaki Zhihei's character is extremely irritable, he is an excellent commander with flexible tactics.

Arrogant, but also has decent military talent.

From the very beginning, Yamazaki Zhihei never thought of breaking through, but was playing a big game of chess, using his military talents to make great achievements.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought his troops to the deadly place of Lijiapo.

Yes, although Lijiapo is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is still a dead area. If you don't get reinforcements from friendly troops, you don't need the enemy to attack, and you can drag them to death!

Maeda Koichiro was a little confused and asked: "Your Excellency, Captain, what is the center flowering, please clarify?"

Yamazaki Zhihei enjoys the confused look of his subordinates, because the more he is like this, the more he can show his extraordinary.

He stood up from the ammunition box, pointed to the bottom line of the surrounding hillside, and explained to his subordinates very ambitiously.

"Everyone, look at the surrounding terrain. Our position is condescending, and we have a good natural bunker. As long as our Fifth Battalion of the Imperial Army can hold this position, the reinforcements will form a huge encirclement around the periphery and eat it all in one bite." The main force of the Eighth Route Army of China!"

"So, everyone still wants to save some energy, and then we will cooperate with the main force to counterattack!

This is called central flowering!
Now that the Eighth Route Army of China has taken the initiative to provoke, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to make contributions.

Do you understand? "

"Hi Yi! Your Excellency, Captain, is wise!"

The devil officers all stood up and nodded.

It is worth mentioning that the so-called central flowering seems wonderful, but it also has many risks.

For example, if you can't hold on until the arrival of the brigade headquarters, the so-called central flowering will become meaningless.

Of course Yamazaki Zhihei knew this too.

The reason why he dared to take the risk of taking the troops to the dangerous place of Lijiapo was because he had fully understood that the Eighth Route Army did not have heavy firepower weapons.

Otherwise, if it was replaced by the Jinsui Army with field artillery units, he would have led his troops to break through.

After a while, Maeda Ichiro reminded again: "Your Excellency, captain, although your decision is very wise.

However, we are almost running out of ammunition, and we can hold on to the same attack as before for 3 waves at most. "

Yamazaki Zhihei said indifferently: "Maeda-kun, you don't have to worry, I have already reported this matter to the brigade department.

It won't be long before the Royal Air Force will drop ammunition and supplies to us, and will also provide us with tactical guidance! "

Maeda Koichiro said: "If that's the case, then there's no problem."

After 10 minutes, the devil's communicator hurried to Yamazaki Zhihei with a translated message in his hand. After a sharp pause, Hui reported:
"Report to the brigade leader! Your Excellency the brigade commander telegram!"

Osamu Yamazaki said expressionlessly: "Currently, the 29th Brigade of the Imperial Army, the [-]th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Group, and part of the [-]th Division are rushing here. Besides, the air force has already taken off from Taiyuan.

His Excellency Commander Yoshio Shinozuka orders your troops to stand firm until tomorrow morning! "

Yamazaki Zhihei nodded, and said confidently: "Call your brigade commander back immediately, my Fifth Battalion is as solid as gold in Lijiapo, and can hold on until reinforcements arrive!

Before that, as long as the Chinese Eighth Route Army dared to attack, Lijiapo would definitely become their grave! "

"Hi Yi!"

The ghost messenger took down Yamazaki Zhihei's words, paused to him again, and turned to leave.

……

Not long after.

Yang Lin and others rushed to Lijiapo on horseback, then got off their horses and entered the temporary command post set up in advance by the advance troops.

Seeing Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, immediately came over to report: "Reporting to the commander, the brigade commander has called just now, and my independent regiment will take over from the 772 regiment as the main attack.

However, the brigade commander said that the enemy's reinforcements had been dispatched, and he ordered our troops to take down Lijiapo before tomorrow morning! "

Li Yunlong said confidently: "Call the brigade commander back immediately, and tell him that before it gets dark, all the little devils on Lijiapo will be wiped out!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao readily agreed, and then picked up the phone to call Brigadier Chen back.

Li Yunlong has always had a good brain in fighting. Many of his decisions may seem reckless, but they are actually well thought out.

He didn't attack right away, but decided to brainstorm and ask Yang Lin and Chu Yunfei for advice.

Especially Yang Lin, this guy is the "shame of the empire" of the little devil. He has never been defeated since he was in the army.

Although his career in the army was not long, the number of little devils he wiped out was more than that of the Eighth Route Army combined.

Isn't it stupid to have such a good dog-headed military adviser at the moment, and have to use your own brains?

What's more, Li Yunlong also wanted to steal a little bit of Yang Lin's commanding skills.

"Brother Yang Lin, brother Yunfei, you two also rubbed against our old Li a few times, and even visited our arsenal, maybe you attracted this group of little devils.

Of course, as long as the two of you contribute a little to my independent regiment and help me defeat this doggy Yamazaki brigade, it will be fine! "

Li Yunlong stood at the commanding heights of morality as soon as he came up. In this way, even if Yang Lin and Chu Yunfei contributed to him, he would not owe them favors.

I have to say, this guy is really cunning.

Chu Yunfei asked: "Brother Yunlong, but I don't know how you want my brother Yang Lin and me to contribute?"

Li Yunlong smiled slyly and said: "You don't need to do too much, just help me as a staff officer, Li Jiapo can fight this battle as it should.

Of course, if you are willing to send troops and efforts, that would be great. "

Yang Lin said: "Brother Yunlong, if you want us to send troops, you can, but when my troops arrive, I'm afraid it will be tomorrow morning."

Li Yunlong didn't take it seriously and said: "That's okay, I just picked up the devil reinforcements who came over."

"..."

Yang Lin was once again shocked by Li Yunlong's shamelessness.

Chu Yunfei was also impressed by Li Yunlong's shamelessness, and he said: "Brother Yunlong, since you said that, then we have no choice but to show our shame."

The few of them studied the terrain around Lijiapo for a while, and then walked to the observation port of the command post.

Chu Yunfei pointed to a towering hill a few hundred meters west of Li Jiapo, and said, "Everyone, please look at the hill on the west side of Li Jiapo. The terrain is more dangerous than Li Jiapo, and it can also form horns with Li Jiapo .

The enemy is building a firepower point there, so they can commandeer and control the mountain road leading to Lijiapo! "

Yang Lin, Li Yunlong and others raised their binoculars one after another to observe the topography of the hill on the west side of Lijiapo.

The hill was surrounded by mountains, and the terrain on the top of the hill was gentle. There was a flat open space of more than one hundred square meters, which was very suitable for forming troops and setting up various firepower points.

The north side of this hill is a steep cliff tens of meters high, the east and south sides are very steep, and only the west side is relatively gentle, which can be used as an attack route.

Chu Yunfei thought for a while, and suggested: "Brother Yunlong, brother Yang Lin, through observation, it seems that there are not many enemies standing on the hill on the west side.

If I were the commander, I would concentrate my forces and firepower and take down that hill first! "

Kong Guojian asked curiously: "Commander Chu, why do you insist on taking down the western hills first, instead of taking down the enemy's main position once and for all?"

Chu Yunfei slowly explained: "Once the independent regiment occupies the hill on the west side, the fire blockade of the Yamazaki Brigade will be weakened, and the independent regiment can also use this as a position to directly cover Lijiapo from the hill on the west side. Enemy above.

At that time, whether it is artillery or machine gun fire, because of this high ground, its accuracy will be greatly improved! "

Li Yunlong nodded, he still wanted to hear Yang Lin's suggestion, so he asked Yang Lin who was beside him: "Brother Yang Lin, what do you think, and what are your different opinions?"

Yang Lin said without hesitation: "Brother Yunfei's analysis is very thorough, and I also agree to take down the hill on the west side first, so that it is equivalent to breaking one of the little devil's arms, and it will be much easier to deal with them later. Already!"

After a pause, Yang Lin changed his voice, and continued: "However, before that, I think you should consider how to deal with the little devil's air force, Brother Yunlong."

Li Yunlong is so smart. He heard Yang Lin's question, and he already guessed that he must have a way to deal with it, so he said: "Brother Yang Lin, you must have thought of a countermeasure for us a long time ago? Hehehehe..."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong couldn't help showing a treacherous and sinister smile on his face.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "It's that simple, we can release more smoke like we did in Jiaocheng Mountain. In this way, the air soldiers of the little devils will become blind and continue to attack, but it is just a waste of aerial bombs and bullets." , that's all!"

"Makes sense!"

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement, and then instructed Zhang Dabiao beside him: "Did you hear what Commander Yang said? Immediately prepare according to what he said!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao agreed abruptly, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yang Lin.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, wait a moment!"

Soldiers always only worship the strong. Zhang Dabiao's admiration for Yang Lin is no less than that of Li Yunlong. He stopped, turned around and asked in doubt: "Commander Yang, do you have any instructions?"

The corners of Yang Lin's mouth rose slightly, showing a fox-like sly smile, and said: "According to the information provided by your mother, this little devil is a lone army, and they must not carry much ammunition, and although the previous attack by the 772 regiment failed However, the little devil also consumed a lot of ammunition.

If my guess is correct, they must have run out of ammunition, and it is almost impossible to hold out until reinforcements arrive. "

After a pause, Yang Lin went on to say: "So, in addition to launching an attack on your army, this air strike by the little devil should also provide ammunition supplies to the little devil on Lijiapo."

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard it. He and Yang Lin were like-minded people, and he immediately understood the other party's thoughts: "Brother Yang Lin, what you mean is that we will not stop doing anything. When the devils launch an air strike, we will kill them The airdropped supplies are also cheated?"
