The positions of the first battalion and one company of the Independent Brigade were lost, and the positions of the second and third companies were also lost one after another. Behind them were the positions of the second battalion, the positions of the second battalion, the positions of the second battalion, the positions of the second battalion, the positions of the second battalion, the positions of the second battalion, the positions of the second battalion, the positions of the second battalion, the positions of the second company, the second company, and the third company were also lost one after another.

The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army each suffered casualties.

Major General Yoshida, the commander of the Japanese brigade, was receiving the report from the staff: "General, the Chinese army opposite is vulnerable. The first battalion only took two hours to break through their six lines of defense and had already captured the positions of the Chinese army."

Major General Yoshida showed a satisfied smile on his face. In his eyes, a group of Tujiao Route Army members, where are the opponents of his elite brigade?

But the next moment, a telegraph soldier sent a telegram, which changed Major General Yoshida's face.

"What? Ten groups?"

According to the information collected by the aviation scouts, the Eighth Route Army actually arranged ten regiments along the highway in turn!

This shocked Major General Yoshida. According to the information he received, Li Yunlong's army was originally just an independent regiment with less than 5,000 people. He was promoted to brigade commander not long ago. Why do he have ten regiments now?

Ten regiments were arranged along the highway in turn, and unless his brigade gave up heavy equipment, detours, and detours, they would not reach Ping'an County at all.

At the moment, he has only one choice, which is to defeat all ten groups.

"The infantry gangs fought in turn to defeat the Chinese army ahead!"

Major General Yoshida gave the order coldly.

...

Independent Travel Department.

Li Yunlong was furious in the command room, wandering back and forth, like a hungry wolf.

Lin Yi and Zhao Gang were both watching quietly beside him. Those who were familiar with Lao Li knew that this was anger. Whoever went up was unlucky.

"Damn it! Zhang Dabiao, a group of people, only held the position for two hours! He lost all my face!"

Li Yunlong took the battle report sent back from the front line and cursed his mother.

The six lines of defense set up by Zhang Dabiao's group were defeated by the Japanese.

If Zhang Dabiao hadn't led the entire regiment and fought a counterattack, I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand it for two hours.

Despite this, the group held on for only two hours before the Japanese took the position away.

The entire regiment was 1,600 people, more than 400 casualties, and one of the four battalions was directly destroyed.

Zhao Gang advised: "Our brigade has just been expanded and it is all new recruits. It is good that Zhang Dabiao can hold the position for two hours..."

"Don't let it go!" Li Yunlong cursed anxiously and white-facedly, but he was speechless. This was far from his previous independent group!

If this were changed to the previous independent regiment, he would have been able to hold on for two or three days against a brigade of the Japanese! What's more, the Japanese just sent a brigade and took down the position of the regiment!

Lin Yi controlled the follow-up instrument and gave a few close-ups to Lao Li. Lao Li's vivid expression was enough for the audience and fans in the live broadcast room to take a few emoticons.

Lin Yi said lightly: "Although a regiment lost its position and suffered a lot of casualties, the Japanese were also suffering a lot of casualties. We will not lose more than 500 Japanese corpses."

The Japanese are on the offensive side. When charging, they will inevitably be blocked by light and heavy machine guns and rifles. At this point, there will be many casualties. When they rushed into the trenches and fought for bayonets, the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army also suffered casualties.

In general, the Japanese casualties were even greater.

After all, the first regiment was just a loss of position and strategic retreat. One battalion acted as a reserve team and another battalion protected the flanks. It was not a defeat, and the losses were not too great.

Old Li was still indignant. He was now "rich", equipped with more soldiers, and fought wars but was not as powerful as before. This made him feel a little unacceptable.

Lin Yi smiled and advised: "This is much better than I expected. When this battle is over, our independent brigade will become a powerful brigade again!"

Old Li calmed down a little.

But more than two hours later, another battle report came, which made Lao Li scold his mother again.

The Second Regiment of the Independent Brigade, led by the second regiment commander Chen Quan, held his position for two hours and was also lost!

The first regiment commander Zhang Dabiao was the battalion commander of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment, and the second regiment commander Chen Quan, who was the battalion commander of the second battalion of the Independent Regiment.

When the two were battalion commanders, they competed with each other, and now they are regiment commanders, but the same is true.

Zhang Dabiao led a regiment to hold the position for only two hours, and Chenquan was not much better, both for two hours.

More than 1,600 people from the Second Regiment also suffered more than 400 casualties, and one of the four battalions was directly damaged. The Japanese also suffered more than 500 casualties.

In terms of military losses, the independent brigade also has some advantages.

In the overall situation, the independent brigade has the advantage, because the independent brigade originally used war to support the war and trained troops with actual combat. Although it lost a lot of troops, those who survived became veterans who had been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness had improved a lot.

It can even be said that although there were many casualties in the first and second regiments, the combat effectiveness of the entire regiment increased instead of reducing, and it also improved a lot.

On the other hand, the Japanese were all veterans of the Taiyuan Division, and one less died.

Lin Yi, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang stayed at the Independent Brigade Command until the sun sets.

Lin Yi is fine, but he is used to the strong winds and waves, and he has his own estimates of this war.

For Lao Li and Zhao Gang, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the long day finally passed.

Before dark, the Japanese military brigade had successively broken through the defense lines of the five independent brigades! In other words, the positions of the Independent 1st Regiment, the Independent 2nd Regiment, the Independent 3rd Regiment, the Independent 4th Regiment, and the Independent 5th Regiment were all lost.

When every battle report was delivered, Lao Li was so angry that he wanted to curse. If Zhao Gang hadn't persuaded him, he would have rushed to the front line battlefield!

For Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, every battle report was a torture, and it finally ended until dark.

But for the Japanese generals, it was also a torment.

Temporary Command of the Japanese Military Brigade.

Major General Yoshida looked at the battle report in his hand and said in a serious tone: "Li Yunlong is worthy of being a major concern of the Japanese Empire. No wonder he was able to repeatedly damage the Imperial Army. What stood in front of us was obviously a group of poorly equipped and untrained recruits, but the Imperial Army only advanced dozens of kilometers in one day."

The combat staff at the command center dared not speak, they had seen Major General Yoshida's hidden anger.

Sure enough, Yoshida threw the battle report on the table and said angrily: "What's even more hateful is that the injury and casualties of the imperial army were even greater than those poorly equipped Chinese army! More than 2,000 soldiers from the Great Japanese Empire were killed and killed!"

A combat staff member asked carefully: "General, have you telegraphed the headquarters to request additional reinforcements?"

“No need!”
