I rise from the sword

Chapter 323 Take down the hills on the west side, the Devils Air Force arrives
The devil soldiers chanted the slogan of "on board, on board", climbed out of the pile of corpses and dirt, took up weapons and shot at a battalion of soldiers who were close at hand.

Some little devils even frantically held their bayonets, and rushed straight up.

Although they acted extremely crazy, the shelling of the Independence Regiment just now caused huge casualties to them.

At this time, there were less than a hundred little devils in the No. [-] Squadron of the Yamazaki Battalion, and most of them were injured.

They no longer have much fighting power, just like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Under the cover of powerful machine guns and mortar fire, the soldiers of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment bravely rushed to the devil's position on the west hill.

"Thuk Thu! Da Da Da!"

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……"

Two-man soldiers fired at short distances, fighting desperately for every trench and every bunker.

After emptying the bullets in the chamber, the two sides quickly handed over their soldiers together.

The devils on the battlefield seemed to be at the end of a group of strong crossbows, and they couldn't stop the battalion of soldiers charging like a tsunami.

The little devil was beaten to death and wounded, and retreated steadily.

"Ba Ga! Damn China soldiers, even if the jade is broken, I will make you pay a terrible price!"

Lieutenant Guizi looked around, but saw people falling to death one after another.

Seeing this scene, he felt panic and anger in his heart.

The little devil was deeply brainwashed by military ideas and Bushido spirit, and he was always pretty good. Even if he couldn't hold his position and knew he was invincible, very few people surrendered.

The little devils of the Yamazaki Brigade are no exception!

Lieutenant Guizi hit the surviving little devils on the position, and organized a death squad of more than 10 people, preparing to live and die with the position.

"The warriors of the empire!"

"For His Majesty the Emperor!"

"For the Great Japanese Empire!"

"For our glory!"

"Fight with these damn Chinese people!"

"Kill the chicken and give it!!!"

Lieutenant Guizi was strapped full of explosives, and with a ferocious face like a devil, he took the lead in charging.

The remaining 10 devil soldiers were like a group of crazy hyenas, launching a death charge to the Eighth Route Army rushing to the position.

"Allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army is on board!"

It has to be said that the brainwashing of the devil's top management was too successful. After the devil's lieutenant shouted the slogan, he immediately ignited the fuse of the explosives on his body.

"Brothers, the devil's death squad, stop charging and get down!"

"Fire, hit, hit me hard!"

Zhang Dabiao snatched the crooked-handled light machine gun from the soldier next to him, then pulled the trigger, strafing the soldiers of the Devils Death Squad who were rushing towards him.

The rest of the Eighth Route Army soldiers followed suit.

"Da da da! chug chug!"

"Crack, clap clap!—"

The dense bullets suddenly poured forward like a gust of wind and rain.

"Ah, uh, uh..."

The soldiers of the Devils Death Squad who came on rampage did not dodge, but rushed over fearlessly.

More than half of the little devils were beaten into hornet's nests, and the remaining 5 or 6 little devils turned a blind eye to this and continued to madly rush towards the Eighth Route Army crowd in front...

"Boom, boom, boom—"

There was a huge explosion, and the entire hill in the position trembled slightly, as if an earthquake was coming.

The soldiers of the Devils Death Squad who bore the brunt were directly blown into a pool of rotten meat.

The nearby Eighth Route Army soldiers had no time to dodge, they were affected one after another, and the soldiers who were closer to the explosion were directly blown away by the blast wave.

Some soldiers were also killed by grenade fragments and blast waves.

The kid's suicidal charge seemed to be brainless, but it was extremely useful, and caused a lot of casualties to Yizhuo.

More than 20 soldiers died in the explosion, and dozens of others were injured to varying degrees.

Almost everyone's ears were buzzing, and they were temporarily deaf.

The explosion came, and thick gunpowder smoke surrounded the hills.

The vicinity is filled with a disgusting strong smell of blood, explosion flames, and various parts of weapons and equipment are everywhere.

Of course, there are many corpses, as well as bloody stumps and arms.

Some of them belonged to the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment, but more of them belonged to little devils...

After occupying the hilly position on the west side and confirming that the enemy had no survivors, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, immediately opened his voice and ordered: "All companies clean up the battlefield immediately, carry the wounded down for rescue, and the rest immediately repair the fortifications and strengthen the defense. position!"

According to the instructions of battalion commander Zhang Dabiao, the soldiers of the first battalion rebuilt the trenches, strengthened the fortifications, and established various firepower points as quickly as possible.

Immediately, Zhang Dabiao called the command post of the regiment headquarters.

The phone was connected quickly, and then Li Yunlong's voice came: "Hello, I am Li Yunlong, the head of the independent regiment!"

Zhang Dabiao subconsciously stood up and stood at attention: "Reporting regiment leader, I am the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao, so far, we have successfully captured the little devil's position on the hill on the west side!
All the little devils were wiped out, and no one slipped through the net! "

Li Yunlong had expected this result a long time ago, and he didn't care about it. He asked, "Zhang Dabiao, how about the casualties of your first battalion? Also, what happened to the explosion at the last moment?"

Zhang Dabiao's face became slightly ugly, and he replied truthfully: "Commander, these little devils fought very tenaciously, and more than 100 brothers in our battalion were killed or injured."

"Originally, with the fire cover and suppression of the artillery company, our casualties during the charge were not large."

"But at the last moment, the little devil organized a death squad. At that time, the soldiers had already rushed to the position, and there was no time to escape.

Most of the casualties were caused at that time..."

More than 100 casualties were unexpected by Li Yunlong, but it was within his acceptable range.

After all, if this little devil was so easy to deal with, Cheng Xiazi's 772 regiment would not have launched 8 consecutive charges and ended in failure.

Li Yunlong nodded subconsciously, expressing his understanding, and then reminded: "Zhang Dabiao, listen to me, you must stick to your position, and you must not let the little devil take it back!"

"Also, pay attention to the air attack of the little devil, and get up the smoke as soon as possible!"

"Yes, leader, I, Zhang Dabiao, are here, and the position is right here!"

After finishing speaking, the two hung up the phone...

The screen is pulled to Li Jiapo's side.

"Attack from the artillery, suppress the firepower of the machine gun team, wipe out the damned Eighth Route Army of China at the foot of the mountain, don't let them charge up!"

"Kill the chicken! Kill the chicken!!!"

The leader of the devils, Yamazaki Zhihei, kept waving the saguan sword in his hand, commanding the little devils under him to fight, and he couldn't take into account their battle on the west side of the mountain.

In particular, the smoke obscured his vision, making him unable to see the specific situation down the mountain, and made him dare not act rashly. He could only use intensive firepower to attack the independent regiment at the cost of ammunition, preventing it from rushing up.

At this moment, Maeda Koichiro, the captain's staff officer, suddenly ran over in a hurry, gave Yamazaki Zhihei a sharp pause, and reported: "Report to your Excellency, Captain, it's not good, we have been caught, this group of cunning Chinese Eighth Route Army On the surface it was attacking our main position, but it was actually a feint. Their goal was the position on the hill on the west side.

At present, the position on the hill on the west side has been lost, and it has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army of China! "

Yamazaki Zhihei put down the Zuoguan sword in his hand, turned around and said angrily: "Baga! There is a squadron guarding the Nangang Highlands, how could the position fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army of China so quickly!
How did that idiot Abe Saburo command the battle? I'm going to shoot him! "

Koichiro Maeda said with a stern expression: "Captain, I saw through the binoculars just now that all the imperial soldiers guarding the Nangang position have been killed, and the squadron leader Abe was directly shot by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army when he was commanding the battle." It was blown up..."

"Baga, Lu! This damned Li Yunlong is really hard to deal with!"

Yamazaki Haruhei was furious in his chest, gritted his teeth bitterly, and began to really worry about the next battle situation.

The positions on the hills on the west side and Lijiapo are the corners of each other, and they can support each other with firepower and guard the positions together.

The old devil Yamazaki Zhihei is very aware of the current battle situation. With the fall of the hills on the west side, the entire brigade has fallen into a passive combat situation.
If the external reinforcements could not provide him with tactical guidance in time, they would really be surrounded by Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

However, Yamazaki Zhihei still had a little luck in his heart, that is, Li Yunlong attacked the hills on the west side, just because it was more difficult to conquer than Li Jiapo's main position, rather than making a fuss about it.

However, when he raised his binoculars and cast his gaze over the hills to the west, his last trace of luck was shattered.

But I saw that the first battalion of the independent regiment on the position not far away had already reinforced its defensive position, and the firepower points had basically been arranged.

The first battalion had already established a firm foothold on the high ground, and it was almost impossible for him to launch a counterattack to regain the position.

If a counterattack is forced, even the main position of Lijiapo may be lost, and the gain outweighs the loss!

What worries Yamazaki Zhihei the most is that if the independent regiment sets its artillery positions on the hills on the west side, its artillery fire will easily hit any position in Lijiapo's position.

"Baga! This Li Yunlong is really cunning, I underestimated the enemy carelessly!"

Yamazaki Zhihei's face darkened. Instead of blaming the First Brigade, he admitted his mistake.

At the moment, he can only pin his last hope on the tactical guidance of the aviation unit and the ammunition supplies provided.

Just when he moved the binoculars to further observe the specific actions of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment, bursts of smoke suddenly rose from the hills on the west side, blocking his sight.

Immediately afterwards, the smoke rising from the bottom of the mountain also surrounded the sky above Lijiapo.

What made Yamazaki Zhihei even more angry was that the other party seemed to see that the smoke was not dense enough, and actually dropped a lot of smoke bombs on his position.

This time, the entire Lijiapo was completely enveloped in thick smoke.

"Baga! Not good, shells, hide, hide quickly!"

Seeing the shells falling from the sky, the devil soldiers on Lijiapo's position were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, and they subconsciously fell to the ground.

However, when they saw that the shells did not explode after falling to the ground, but released puffs of smoke, they all let out a sigh of relief.

Although this smoke bomb is disgusting, at least it doesn't cause any direct damage!

However, Yamazaki Zhihei became even more worried.

Last time, the independent regiment released smoke bombs, and the position on the hill on the west side fell.

So this time, does it mean that the opponent is about to launch an all-out attack?
"Buzz, buzz buzz..."

Just when Yamazaki Zhihei was racking his brains, trying to guess Li Yunlong's mind, there was a sudden roar of aircraft engines in the distant sky.

"Yoxi! It's the Royal Air Force that has arrived!"

Yamazaki Zhihei was overjoyed at first, but when he raised his head to follow the prestige, he found that there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.

"idiot!"

Yamazaki Zhihei secretly thought that it was not good, because not only him, but also the aviation soldiers' sight would be obscured by the smoke, making it impossible to see the situation on the ground clearly, and thus unable to airdrop ammunition supplies to them.

the other side.

Temporary Headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

Li Yunlong and others also heard the roar of the plane's engine. He immediately ran out of the headquarters, lay down in a hidden position, and observed carefully.

But I saw that more than 10 Devil planes flew towards Li Jiapo from a distance.

Yang Lin pointed to the three larger planes and said, "Brother Yunlong, have you looked after the three planes that are one size bigger?"

"I saw it."

Li Yunlong nodded.

Yang Lin said again: "That is the transport plane of the little devil. If there is no accident, they are responsible for airdropping supplies to the Yamazaki brigade."

"I have to say, the little devil really spent a lot of money, and actually dispatched three transport planes at once. It seems that the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka has high hopes for the Yamazaki brigade!
tsk tsk..."

At the end, Yang Lin couldn't help smacking his mouth a few times.

Li Yunlong looked greedily and said: "That's good, it's all our old Li's. It's better to bring more transport planes!"

Yang Lin said speechlessly, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Hey hey hey, let the bold one die, starve the timid one to death."

Li Yunlong smiled shamelessly.

Yang Lin said: "In my opinion, we should run away quickly. Although the Devil Air Force cannot see the Yamazaki Brigade, they can see your regiment headquarters."

Almost as soon as Yang Lin's voice fell, several of the devil fighters suddenly changed direction and rushed towards them viciously.

"Brother Yang Lin, you are really a crow's mouth!"

After the voice fell, several people immediately pulled up their legs and ran towards the fortifications with air defense capabilities not far away.

"Tut, chug, chug, chug..."

Almost as soon as a few people left, a dense rain of machine gun bullets poured towards the temporary headquarters of the independent regiment like a plow.

Pulled up a series of eye-catching smoke belts on the ground.

"Hurricane, Hurricane..."

Then, when the Devil fighter plane was about to arrive over the temporary headquarters of the Independence Regiment, it dropped a few more aerial bombs.

Fortunately, the temporary headquarters of the Independence Regiment was relatively hidden, and it was not under fire from the Devils aviation.

However, the flag of the Independent Regiment became the target of the Devils Air Force.

An aerial bomb fell under the flagpole.

"Boom..."

In the flames, the flagpole was torn apart, and the flying military flag was also ignited by the fireworks...
