LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 58
Lijiapo.
Continuous attacks failed.
Although the 772nd Regiment played the fine tradition of the Eighth Route Army's active combat, the huge gap in weapons and equipment still made them return empty-handed.
The whole situation became quite bad in such a confrontation.
"Brigade Commander!"
Gu, the staff officer of the brigade, said with a worried look on his face: "I just received a telegram from the headquarters. The three major brigades of the devils are approaching rapidly. If we can't take Lijiapo, we are likely to be surrounded!"
"Change people!"
Seeing this, the brigade commander finally made up his mind.
"Who to change?"
"Let's change Li Yunlong."
The brigade commander pondered for a moment, and then whispered: "Li Yunlong is a kid with many tricks in fighting. He may have a way to deal with this tough bone."
"Brigade Commander!"
At this time, Gu, the staff officer reminded: "The 28th Regiment has sent people here several times. Ding Wei said that he wanted to apply for the position of the main attack."
"Ding Wei?"
"Right?"
Gu, the staff officer nodded.
The brigade commander frowned and said, "Although the size of Ding Wei's 28th Regiment has increased greatly in the past six months, its weapons and equipment are still quite lacking. If they go up, I'm afraid it will only become a tactic of adding fuel to the fire!"
"Brigade commander!"
However, Staff Officer Gu shook his head and smiled, "This Ding Wei is already a local rich man. Guess what they just formed?"
"What?"
"Machine gun platoon!"
"Machine gun platoon?"
The brigade commander was surprised.
"That's right!"
Staff Officer Gu nodded solemnly and said, "In addition, he also got several grenade launchers. Although the shooting distance of this equipment is a bit short, it is a very good infantry support weapon. According to the current firepower configuration, Ding Wei's 28th Regiment is definitely the best among us."
"Then you can try it!"
The brigade commander was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that his subordinates would give him such a big gift.
On the contrary, the staff officer Gu beside him said with some worry: "Brigade Commander! Li Yunlong and Ding Wei almost arrived at Lijiapo at the same time. If you send Ding Wei to take charge of the main attack now, Li Yunlong will definitely jump up and down with his temper. This kid is also good at causing trouble!"
"Can he rebel?!"
The brigade commander glared and said fiercely: "If that kid dares to be stubborn, I will deal with him when the time comes!"
"But-"
"Forget it!"
Although the brigade commander was shouting happily, he was somewhat annoyed when he thought of that troublemaker. He immediately waved his hand and said, "The battle of Lijiapo broke out very suddenly, and a large number of our troops were mobilized, which also led to the current lack of troops at the division headquarters. Although the three major brigades of the devil are currently heading straight here, it would be quite dangerous if they turn to advance to the division headquarters. Let Li Yunlong go to protect the division headquarters!"
"Yes, brigade commander!"
Staff Officer Gu immediately took the order.
...
"What?!"
Li Yunlong, who was anxiously waiting for orders outside, jumped up suddenly.
Zhang Dabiao said with a distressed face: "Regiment, regiment commander! The news from the brigade has been received, saying that the main attack this time will be replaced by the 28th regiment, and our new regiment will go to protect the division headquarters."
"Why! Why?!"
Li Yunlong was instantly furious, and his face was ashen with anger.
Zhang Dabiao muttered, "Commander, I heard from the brigade staff officer Gu that the brigade commander originally intended to use our new regiment, but later heard that the 28th regiment had already formed a machine gun platoon and had a lot of grenade launchers to assist, so he temporarily changed his mind and let them go."
"The brigade commander is blind!"
At this time, Li Yunlong didn't care about anything, and shouted angrily: "What ability does Ding Wei have? Isn't it just forming a machine gun platoon? Does he really think that his pig nose can hold an elephant by inserting two garlics?"
Dinglingling.
Just then.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Zhang Dabiao took it decisively, and shouted in an instant: "Commander, the brigade commander is calling."
Brigade commander?
Li Yunlong was startled and quickly took the microphone.
"Li Yunlong?"
"Brigade Commander!"
"You must be cursing again, right?"
"Which son of a bitch reported me?"
When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes widened like bells, and he immediately bared his teeth.
"Don't accuse me! I was just guessing!"
The brigade commander on the other end of the phone immediately raised his voice and shouted, "The Japs are sweeping hard now, and you will have to fight sooner or later. You should go to guard the division headquarters now. The division headquarters is now close to the occupied area of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and there are not many decent armed forces around it. If there is any problem with the division headquarters, don't come back to see me!"
"Brigade Commander! Brigade Commander! We can still discuss it - Brigade Commander!"Li Yunlong soon heard a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
"Captain, what do you say?"
"What else can I say?!"
Li Yunlong was so angry that he was uncomfortable all over. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Pass my military order, the whole regiment will set off to the division headquarters to protect it!"
...
The 4th Brigade is coming with great momentum.
Although the brigade commander Mori Shige Nagahide was very dissatisfied with the decision of the headquarters, he still did not dare to disobey this action.
All transport vehicles and tricycles were concentrated.
Soon the Kurosawa Regiment sent troops to rush to Huting for assistance.
It took a long distance for the devils to go to Lijiapo, and the journey to rush to Huting was also not short.
It was just that the former had a rugged road and needed to guard against the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, so the speed of advancement was ultimately limited; the latter had a wide highway connection and was in its own occupied area, so the speed was naturally increased by several times.
It took just over an hour.
The scouts sent by Lu Zhixian sent back a telegram.
…
“Report!”
Many soldiers in Luofengpo were still frantically setting up positions and fortifications.
“Speak.”
“The reinforcements of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese have arrived in the Yaojia Town area. They are all advancing in a convoy. There are a total of fifty trucks and more than one hundred tricycles. It is estimated that they will arrive at Luofengpo in forty-five minutes, with a total of about 1,700 troops!”
“So many people?!”
Everyone present couldn’t help but change their faces slightly.
Nearly 1,700 elite Japanese soldiers!
You know, this is almost half of the Japanese regiment!
“Oh my God!”
Wu Baili murmured in surprise: “The Japanese actually dispatched nearly half of the regiment this time. It seems that they really value Huting very much!”
Even Lu Zhixian was slightly surprised.
According to his previous judgment.
The Japanese will definitely rush to help quickly with all their transport vehicles, but the number of rescuers is limited after all, at most 700 to 800 people.
Who would have thought that there would be nearly 1,700 elite soldiers coming!
"Can we win?"
Chen Feng hesitated a little at this time.
As a member of the National Army, he knew very well how powerful the Japanese were. This elite Japanese soldier of nearly half a regiment could completely rival a division of the Central Army.
"No problem!"
Lu Zhixian quickly calmed down after being surprised. He waved his hand and said seriously: "If we fight head-on, it will be very troublesome. Even if we can win, we will definitely have to pay a heavy price! However, the Japanese are now lightly equipped, and all the heavy weapons are probably still behind. We set up an ambush and snipe these light infantry here, so we don't need to worry too much!"
"The battalion commander is right!"
Yang Zhihua was also very excited when he heard it, and said confidently: "Our artillery position has been completed, and four more howitzers have been added. It is definitely easy to deal with this defenseless Japanese army! Humph! As long as they dare to come, my artillery company will definitely bomb them to see their own dog-day emperor in the underworld!"
"Good! Well said!"
Everyone was also excited.
"Battalion Commander!"
Chen Feng was also infected at this time and laughed: "The rapid support of the Japanese this time has definitely exhausted their marching potential. In this way, the large forces of the Fourth Brigade will definitely be burdened by various baggage, and the speed of rushing to Lijiapo will be greatly slowed down. Our Anti-Japanese Battalion can be regarded as assisting the Eighth Route Army."
"Yeah."
Lu Zhixian nodded.
He looked around and said seriously again: "Okay! Stop talking nonsense and get ready! When the Japanese come later, if anyone fails, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
Everyone took the order again.
(Finally released... I have been exhausted these two days and the update is not strong. Sorry. I will resume the update tomorrow. I want another "power for love")
