Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 111

Li Yunlong is the acting battalion commander of the newly formed Fourth Battalion of the New First Regiment.

The other five artillery teams of the artillery platoon have been sent to Songqu Village to reinforce the 5rd Battalion in combat.

The five mortar teams of the New 5st Regiment were the ones that just bombarded the Japanese cavalry artillery squadron.

Under Li Yunlong's command, the newly formed Fourth Battalion and the artillery platoon moved quickly and ran towards Hufeng Village.

Behind the 50th Battalion and the artillery platoon were about mules, each carrying seven or eight ammunition boxes.

These big mules also moved very fast and did not fall behind at all.

"It would be best if it was that damned Kawaishi Fumisaburo, so I could make a fortune."

At this time, Li Yunlong also came to his senses and realized that everything was right.

The howitzers, mountain guns, infantry guns and rapid-fire guns on the Japanese radio were all code names for the Japanese troops.

And this howitzer is most likely the headquarters of the Kawagishi Division.

Li Yunlong, holding a submachine gun in his hand, led the Red Army veterans in a wild run. During the run, he licked his lips and his eyes were full of excitement.

"I hope the 686th Regiment didn't kill Fumisaburo Kawagishi."

"I wonder what price Boss Lin will give for killing the commander of a Type A division?"

Boss Lin said in person that Li Yunlong could cooperate actively, and Boss Lin would pay for the weapons and ammunition afterwards.

For example, the artillery platoon of the New 1st Regiment blew up the Japanese planes and pilots at Daixian Airport, and was paid afterwards.

and.

Boss Lin also said that killing Japanese officers above the rank of colonel requires weapons and ammunition, and the higher the rank of the Japanese officer, the higher the price.

Thinking of this, a slight shudder ran through his body, and the excitement and murderous intent in Captain Li's eyes became even stronger.

His mind was full of thoughts of killing the Japanese division commander and getting rich.

"Comrades."

Li Yunlong stood on the side of the valley road and shouted these words to the soldiers in a rare gesture:

"The Japanese division commander has been surrounded by our brother troops in Hufeng Village. We must rush over as soon as possible. As long as we kill the Japanese division commander, we can make a fortune."

Hearing this, the soldiers' eyes suddenly lit up and their pace quickened.

……

Just when Li Yunlong led the Fourth Battalion and the artillery platoon to reinforce the brother units.

About a few kilometers to the rear, the Japanese cavalry regiment had entered the ambush area of ​​Ding Weixin's Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Because the Japanese cavalry's formation was stretched out, some of them did not enter the ambush area.

But no problem.

Because the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment, which pretended to be defeated, had returned to Songqu Village and blocked the retreat route of the Japanese cavalry.

"beat."

On two hidden hills, Ding Wei and Kong Jie gave the order to open fire almost at the same time.

Two red flares rose slowly into the sky.

The Japanese cavalry, who were already frightened and on high alert, saw the red flares rising from both sides of the valley.

The Japanese cavalry suddenly felt that a huge danger was approaching silently.

Before the Japanese cavalry could react, a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers emerged from the grass, woods, and rocks on both sides of the valley. Without saying a word, they raised their guns and opened fire, throwing grenades at the Japanese cavalry.

"Da da da…"

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, the sounds of machine gun fire, grenade explosions, the screams of Japanese cavalry, and the wails of horses being shot filled the air.

This time, Takeda Yonehachiro miscalculated. He thought that as long as he kept the cavalry regiments apart, he could deal with the ambush of the Eighth Route Army. However.

He didn't expect that this time Li Yunlong mobilized two regiments of troops to ambush.

Although these two regiments are basic regiments, their firepower has been strengthened and they have sufficient ammunition.

The soldiers ambushed on both sides of the road, shooting at the Japanese from a high position. The air bursts of Mark II grenades, Type 97 grenades, and wooden-handled grenades were thrown like crazy. The Japanese cavalry could not find a safe corner on the road.

Most of the cavalry regiment was in the ambush circle.

After several rounds of shooting and grenades, Takeda Yonehachiro could no longer see how many cavalrymen were still alive.

"Baka." Takeda Yonehachiro cursed and ordered hurriedly, "Call the division headquarters immediately and request reinforcements, request reinforcements."

"Hi."

The Japanese communications captain was about to make a call with the receiver and microphone.

Ding! A high-speed spinning bullet hit the helmet on his head. The bullet instantly penetrated the helmet and sank into his head. The huge impact force made him fall backwards.

Takeda Yonehachiro ran over quickly and hid under the belly of the military horse that had just been shot, calling out with a receiver in one hand and a microphone in the other.

"Mortars calling howitzers, mortars calling howitzers."

After a moment, a noisy voice came from the radio:
"Howitzer, read that. Mortar, where are you?"

Takeda Yonehachiro recognized the voice of the division commander and quickly replied, "The mortars have reached a position 1 kilometer west of Guangyang Village."

At the same time, in a house in Hufeng Village, Kawagishi Fumisaburo's eyes showed surprise. He glanced at the map and said, "Yoshi."

"Mortar, you are still four kilometers away from my howitzer."

"The enemy is attacking Hufeng Village where I am. You must quickly attack from behind and destroy the enemy from both sides."

Although he had ordered the aviation unit to provide air support, the enemy's combat effectiveness was very strong and the soldiers attacked fearlessly.

After nearly an hour of fighting, more than half of his guard battalion had been killed or wounded, and even the combat staff of the division headquarters had to carry guns to the battlefield.

Finally, a troop is about to arrive at the division headquarters. This is really great news!
As long as the cavalry regiment and the division headquarters successfully meet up, they will be able to hold out until the 39th and 40th Brigades arrive.

The distance of four kilometers can be reached in less than eight minutes with just one charge for the cavalry.

Takeda Yonehachiro said hurriedly: "Division Commander, we were ambushed in the valley west of Guangyang Village. Request tactical guidance! Request tactical guidance!"

"idiot!"

Takeda's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Kawaishi Fumisaburo's head:

"Don't call me division commander on the radio."

"Hey." Takeda Yonehachiro said suddenly, "Division Commander! No...howitzer."

Kawagishi Fumisaburo shouted angrily: "Idiot!"

At this moment, the voice of Major General Yamashita Tomoyuki rang out on the radio channel: "Mortar, I have warned you not to advance too recklessly. Once the infantry advances together, the enemy will surely ambush us, but you refused to listen."

"Infantry artillery." Takeda Yonehachiro said hurriedly, "I also want to reinforce the howitzers as soon as possible."

"Infantry artillery." Kawagishi Fumisaburo asked Yamashita Tomoyuki in a deep voice, "Where have you arrived?"

"Report to the howitzers," Yamashita Fengwen said in a deep voice, "Our vanguard is almost reaching Songqu Village."

"Mountain artillery, mountain artillery," Lieutenant General Kawagishi Bunsaburo asked, "where have you advanced?"

Major General Takagi Yoshito of the 39th Brigade, who had been hiding, said, "Report to the howitzers. We have just left Zhanshang Town and have been blocked by a strong enemy. We are unable to deploy our heavy firepower..."

"Baka!" Kawagishi Fumisaburo yelled, "You idiot, you piece of shit."

Takagi Yoshito couldn't refute: "Hi."

At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted: "Kawagishi Fumisaburo, oh my god, you are surrounded. Do you surrender or not?"
