People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 266 Huge crisis, the independent detachment will be wiped out

The Major Commander of the Sixth Brigade of the Independent Infantry commanded the troops to move quickly, and they abandoned the Huting stronghold.

After the Xinyi regiment took down the Huting stronghold, they did not continue to pursue, but quickly cleaned the battlefield in situ and set up defensive positions.

The artillery that originally supported the Xinyi Regiment and other troops also began to receive orders.

Li Yang and Sun Xiong commanded the Artillery Battalion and began to support the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment to intercept the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The troops of the cavalry battalion completed the breakthrough mission, and they did not pursue them. Instead, they sent the cavalry to reconnaissance platoon and tried to contact Wei Monk's reconnaissance platoon.

For Chen Ziyun, the next battle is not about annihilating many Japanese and puppet troops, his goal is the Japanese army field observation group!
At 55:[-], the Headquarters of the Third Independent Mixed Brigade received a detailed report.

After Major General Liuxia Shigeharu knew that the Huting stronghold had been lost, he directly lost his temper in the brigade headquarters.

After all, this time he also hopes to let the field observation group understand his command ability through the tenacious defensive operation of the Huting stronghold.

As long as the observation group makes a report, he will definitely be able to improve his rank.

But now that Huting stronghold has fallen, one can imagine Shigeharu Liuxia's anger.

He sent telegrams one after another, sternly reprimanding the captain of the Shao Zuo who commanded the battle.

Even he knew that the bunkers and gun towers were destroyed, and the Japanese and puppet troops could only rely on defensive trenches to resist.

The cavalry battalion broke through from the flanks and rushed directly to the dormitory. Once the dormitory fell, the Japanese and puppet troops defending the trenches would become a shackle.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely the best choice to evacuate quickly to preserve the strength of the troops.

There is no problem with the decision made by the captain of Shaozuo, but the loss of the Huting stronghold made Liuxia Shigeharu unacceptable.

"Xinxing's forces on the small island are still on the offensive. It is difficult for the two regiments of the Eighth Route Independent Detachment to stop them. This force may break through quickly."

"Once they hit the Huting stronghold, and the lost Huting stronghold of our brigade is taken back by them, it will be our greatest shame."

"The Yamamoto special team has also appeared near the Huting stronghold, which obviously means that officers like Chu Yunfei are here."

"The observation group is already on the way. The battle at the Huting stronghold must not be just a performance by the Yamamoto special team and Kojima Xinxing's troops."

"The various ministries quickly assembled in the northeast direction of the Huting stronghold. At the right time, we will quickly counterattack the Huting stronghold."

"Even if we can't take back the Huting stronghold, we still have to achieve certain results!"

At eleven o'clock, after careful consideration, Liu Shigeharu began to issue combat orders.

The Sixth and Seventh Battalions of the Independent Infantry, the First Division of the Royal Association Army, and the Artillery Team directly under the Brigade began to gather in the northeast of the Huting stronghold,

It was at this time that Kojima Xinxing gathered a lot of troops.

The Japanese and puppet troops who went to support the battle in Kangjia Town began to return, and Kojima Shinxing began to gather the main force to attack with all his strength.

The first regiment and the second regiment of the Imperial Association Army assembled more than 800 troops, and the 13-type 75MM mountain artillery made by Bamenjin directly advanced and supported operations.

These puppet troops directly attacked and fought in the front, and they launched wave tactics to repeatedly attack.

The Japanese Special Operations First Brigade, equipped with eight tanks and supported by twenty artillery pieces, attacked from the flanks.

For a while, fierce gunfire continued to ring out, and several positions of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were in a precarious state.

The casualties and losses of their troops continued to increase, and some heavy weapons were also destroyed.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyun ordered the artillery battalion to provide artillery support, and Li Yang and Sun Xiong commanded twelve mountain cannons to fire one after another.

The attacking Japanese and puppet troops were shelled, and the attack intensity was weakened, and they also suffered casualties.

The troops of the two sides fought fiercely. Because of the artillery battalion providing artillery support, the Japanese and puppet troops were temporarily unable to break through quickly.

But at this time, the Yamamoto special team took combat action.

They began to make a secret detour and headed straight for the Huting stronghold.

After repeated investigations, Yamamoto's secret service team locked the location. He believed that Li Yunlong and others must be here in the Huting stronghold.

So now he wants to command the troops to go over quickly, so as to quickly launch a combat strike and completely kill Li Yunlong and others.

Kazuki Yamamoto's judgment was not wrong. At this time, Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun were indeed at the Huting stronghold.

Taking down the Huting stronghold, the Xinyi Regiment quickly swept the battlefield.

Up to now, the total casualties of the new regiment are not small. Li Yunlong originally planned to take down the Huting stronghold, so he quickly ended the battle.

But now the situation has changed. Behind them, there are a large number of Japanese and puppet troops attacking.

The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult for these troops to evacuate.

And after taking down the Huting stronghold, Chen Ziyun also came to report immediately.

He directly reported the situation reported by Monk Wei's reconnaissance platoon to Li Yunlong.

For a while, Li Yunlong became very interested. He thought that there must be a big fish about to appear.

"Hey hey, brother Ziyun, your discovery is incredible."

"Maybe if we fight over there, we can kill some of the little devil's officers."

"Maybe, there are still officers with the rank of Colonel."

"Whether there is or not, since we have encountered it, let's go and have a look."

Li Yunlong is a daring existence, and he is going to lead his troops deep into Yuanping City to start combat operations.

Of course he doesn't know what will be here in Yuanping City, but Chen Ziyun does!
Now Chen Ziyun is waiting for Li Yunlong's words, he will definitely destroy the little devil's field observation group.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong began to make a series of deployments at the Huting stronghold.

He handed over the command of the troops to Ding Wei, the head of the New Second Regiment, and asked Ding Wei to command the troops to fight.

Li Yunlong, on the other hand, commanded the mountain artillery company directly under the new regiment, and the first battalion advanced into Yuanping City.

Chen Ziyun is here to command the cavalry battalion, the guard company, and the reconnaissance platoon directly under the 358 regiment to fight.

The two forces acted together, and they went deep into the hinterland of Yuanping City to fight.

Ding Wei commanded the main force of the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the Artillery Battalion of the 358th Regiment for defensive operations.

Li Yunlong personally found Ding Wei and told him in detail.

He will not let these troops fight to the death. At critical times, they can quickly break up into parts and fight in a scattered manner.

Of course, Li Yunlong also emphasized one point, that is, no matter what, the safety of the Li Yang Artillery Battalion must be ensured.

After all, this was dispatched by the Independent 48th Brigade to support the Independent Detachment in combat. If they suffered casualties, the consequences would be disastrous.

As for Chen Ziyun, he also reported to Chu Yunfei immediately by radio.

Chu Yunfei was somewhat reluctant to take Chen Ziyun's risky combat operations, after all the artillery battalion was very important.

But thinking of the results that Chen Ziyun had obtained again and again, Chu Yunfei still agreed.

However, he contacted the reserve 12th regiment in the Kangjia Town area for the first time, and asked them to quickly support the Huting stronghold area to fight.

Up to now, the 14th Regiment of the Puppet Army in Kangjia Town has quickly withdrawn, and the 12th Regiment of the Reserve has regained Kangjia Town.

Chu Yunfei arranged for Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui to command the Ninth Battalion, and the Tenth Battalion to stick to Kangjia Town.

Lin Zhiqiang, chief of staff of the brigade headquarters, commanded the seventh battalion and the eighth battalion. The machine gun battalion rushed towards the Huting stronghold to get in touch with the independent detachment.

Their task is to ensure the safety of the artillery battalion!

Time passed bit by bit, and the troops on both sides were dispatching troops.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Lin Zhiqiang commanded three battalions to rush forward quickly, and they were about to approach the battlefield.

Xiaojima Xinxing also adjusted his deployment. He began to send a small group of troops to infiltrate and prepare to destroy the artillery battalion.

However, Ding Wei of the New Second Regiment commanded various ministries to strengthen their defenses, and they readjusted their defensive positions with the artillery battalion as the core.

In addition, the Xinyi regiment at the Huting stronghold also successively transferred troops to serve as guerrilla troops directly.

The third battalion of the New First Regiment began to advance to the side of the Japanese puppet army and launched guerrilla operations to assist in the defense.

For a while, the troops of the two sides were still fighting fiercely, but the troops commanded by Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun had quietly left the Huting stronghold.

They all carried radios, and they propelled along the east and west separately.

Li Yunlong commanded the first battalion, and the mountain artillery company secretly advanced from the east; Chen Ziyun commanded the cavalry battalion, and the guard company secretly advanced from the west.

The two troops will go deep into Yuanping City to fight in depth, so as to carry out combat strikes against the field observation group.

But shortly after they left, Huting stronghold was directly raided by Yamamoto's special team!

At this time, only the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment and the Sun Desheng Cavalry Company stayed at the Huting stronghold.

Both of these troops suffered casualties, and their total strength was only a few hundred.

Fortunately, dozens of cavalry were scattered nearby to guard. After the surprise attack by the secret service, the cavalry quickly gave an early warning.

The troops of the Second Battalion reacted quickly, so as to avoid being attacked and fell into a passive situation.

The troops of the two sides fought fiercely at the Huting stronghold. As the battle started, Kazuki Yamamoto immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Baga, they only have a few hundred troops, what about the other troops, where did they go?"

"Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong, it is impossible for Chen Ziyun to stay in the Huting stronghold with such a small amount of troops!"

"Could it be that they have withdrawn to Xuying Village and Baijia Village for defense?"

"What the hell is going on, why is the strength of the troops here significantly weakened?"

The Yamamoto Special Team had a solemn expression on his face. He raised his binoculars to observe, and said with a little anger in his tone.

The little devils nearby naturally didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't answer.

The secret service team continued to attack. Facing such an elite force, the Second Battalion was somewhat difficult to parry.

After all, the main force of Yamamoto's secret service team has all gathered together, and they have a certain number of artillery.

As for Sun Desheng's cavalry company, facing the secret service team with submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles and a large number of machine guns, it has no advantage at all.

"Your Excellency Captain, we have already contacted His Excellency Kojima Nobuyoshi and the third independent mixed brigade."

"His Excellency Kojima Xinxing called back, and they did find that the Eighth Route Army has increased its defense."

"However, they cannot be sure whether Chu Yunfei and others are directing the battle on their side."

"The third independent mixed brigade has assembled about [-] troops in the northeast of the Huting stronghold, and they are also paying attention to the Huting stronghold."

"According to their report, they found that there were troops leaving the Huting stronghold, but they don't know where they went."

"In addition, the troops here have already started operations, and they are pushing towards the Huting stronghold with all their strength. They obviously want to take back the Huting stronghold."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Harada Jiro of the Assault Squadron quickly came to Kazuki Yamamoto and made a quick report.

Kazuki Yamamoto frowned. He opened the map and marked it with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The Huting stronghold has the main force of the Eighth Route New First Regiment, as well as the cavalry troops of the Jinsui Army."

"If such a large number of troops are transferred to Baijia Village and other areas to fight, Xiaodao Xinxing's troops will definitely be able to find them."

"Unless they advance deeply towards Yuanping City, Xiaojima Xinxing's troops will not be able to find it."

"Contact the troops of the independent and mixed third brigade right away, and ask them not to take action and stay on the ground for defense."

"At the same time, send troops to quickly search around, maybe you can find the cavalry of the Jinsui Army, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Kazuki Yamamoto had a serious expression on his face, and he gave the order decisively.

Based on all aspects of information, Kazuki Yamamoto was almost able to make a judgment.

Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong had taken risky operations in previous battles.

Now Kazuki Yamamoto believes that these two people are likely to quickly advance to the original Pingcheng to fight in depth.

Of course, although he could think of this, he didn't think that they were going for the battlefield observation group.

After all, the operations of the battlefield observation group were classified, not to mention Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong, most of the little devils in the army did not know that they would appear on the battlefield.

Kazuki Yamamoto speculated that they were fighting in depth towards Yuanping City, nothing more than threatening the independent third brigade to support the defensive operations here.

So he contacted the third independent mixed brigade and asked them to stay put and search for these troops to intercept.

And he will quickly assist Xiaodao Xinxing's troops to bring a devastating blow to the main force of the independent detachment fighting in the Huting stronghold, Xiying Village, and Baijia Village.

As long as these troops are in danger of being annihilated, Kazuki Yamamoto is absolutely sure that he will completely attract Li Yunlong's troops and Chen Ziyun's troops back.

The Yamamoto Special Forces continued to storm the Huting stronghold, and the second battalion stationed at the stronghold resisted desperately.

However, the main force of Yamamoto's secret service team was dispatched. They had few troops, but their overall strength was strong.

Four rapid-fire guns fired one after another, and the armor-piercing bullets accurately knocked out the heavy machine guns of the second battalion.

A number of snipers were concealed in different positions. They pulled the trigger, and the bullets were fired one after another.

These snipers, the little devils, are special shooters drawn from various ministries, and Kazuki Yamamoto conducts intensive training for these special shooters.

Then choose the best among these special shooters to become a sniper.

We all know that the little devils are very strict in training, and they will have a lot of live ammunition for training.

For 40 years now, these little devils who have undergone rigorous training have experienced the baptism of battles again and again, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

Compared with the Japanese army, it is difficult for other troops to do this.

The Eighth Route Army doesn't even have many bullets for the field troops, so how can they provide bullet training for recruits.

Although the ammunition of the Jinsui army is still sufficient, the number of live ammunition fired by the recruits is far less than that of the little devils.

The snipers of the Yamamoto Special Team, with the help of scopes, can easily hit the target accurately at a distance of four to five hundred.

Even some snipers can hit the target at 700 meters!
The eighteen snipers of the three assault squads and the nine assault squads showed super fighting strength.

Many soldiers of the Second Battalion were shot by them one after another and died on the spot.

But even though the troops were passively beaten, the Second Battalion did not flinch at all. They had a very tenacious willpower to fight.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Wei learned about the situation at Huting stronghold, and quickly dispatched a company to help.

However, this company was attacked by the Yamamoto Special Forces before it reached the Huting stronghold.

A general-purpose machine gun in the machine gun squadron launched precise shooting.

The 60MM mortars and 82MM mortars of the mortar squadron fired shells one after another.

In one encounter, dozens of casualties appeared in the infantry company rushing to help.

For a while, the second battalion troops stationed at the Huting stronghold were in dire straits, and they might be completely wiped out at any time.

At the same time, the Japanese and puppet troops commanded by Kojima Shinxing continued to attack, and the independent regiment and the new second regiment were unable to mobilize extra troops to help them.

"Old Ding, it is impossible to fight like this. If the second battalion of the Huting stronghold is wiped out, we will have no way to meet Lao Li."

"Besides, if the little devils capture the Huting stronghold, we will be attacked from both sides. With their strength, we can't stop them."

"What exactly did Lao Li do? Taking troops to Yuanping City at this time, isn't it to disperse the troops and give the Japanese and puppet troops a chance to wipe them out one by one?"

Kong Jie, the head of the independent group, quickly found Ding Wei, and he said with a serious expression on his face.

"Old Li and Captain Chen Ziyun acted together. They made a major discovery."

"I don't know the specifics, but one thing is certain, what they did must be earth-shattering!"

"Otherwise, under such circumstances, they would not divide their forces to carry out combat operations."

"Old Kong, the Second Battalion cannot be wiped out. I will immediately go to the artillery battalion's position and ask them to deploy artillery to support the battle!"

Ding Wei said directly with a serious expression on his face.

Not long after, following Ding Wei's order, Sun Xiong began to command six [-]-style mountain artillery to fully support the Huting stronghold in operations.

However, the Yamamoto Special Forces are very strong. Even if the second battalion is bombarded, it only temporarily relieves the pressure.

Under the attack of various weapons of the secret service team, their casualties are still increasing.

At this time, there is a huge crisis in the independent detachment and other troops, and they are in danger of being wiped out.

As long as the troops of the third brigade are independently combined to defend on the spot and search with all their strength, then Li Yunlong's troops and Chen Ziyun's troops will definitely be discovered.

When they were blocked, they naturally couldn't threaten the battlefield observation group.

Kazuki Yamamoto has a brain and continues to fight according to the current battle.

In this battle, the independent detachment commanded by Li Yunlong, the artillery battalion commanded by Chen Ziyun and other troops will be at risk of being annihilated!
