Of course they have been digging for a long time, but due to weather and distance reasons, their soil work has not been completed.

After taking out a certain amount of weapons and ammunition, Li Yunlong selected elite soldiers from the New Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the Independent Regiment, and formed a guard platoon.

Gradually, the little devil failed to achieve the expected combat goals.

There is a communications company here at the brigade headquarters, and Chu Yunfei's brigade headquarters was established behind the 12th Reserve Regiment.

Once they find a new group of firepower to intercept, they will quickly launch a strike.

Fighting here on the west side of the highland, Yanashita Shigeharu defeated the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army and achieved victory.

Huang Daofeng commanded the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army to launch a direct frontal attack, attracting the attention of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army.

Inside are sharpshooter Wang Xikui, pitcher Wang Gensheng and others.

"Zhang Dabiao, who asked you to run to the front line? You take the sword team to have a good rest. You will be the main attacker in the next battle."

Grenades were fired at the new regiment, followed by explosions.

Li Yunlong was an expert in fighting. When the new regiment was transferred to the Lijiapo battlefield as a reserve team, he had operational ideas through observation.

When fighting in Xin County, Li Yunlong saw Wei Monk's reconnaissance platoon.

The 12th Reserve Regiment is at the front, and the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment are on the two sides behind.

Four Type 94 mountain guns fired grenades one after another to suppress the artillery.

Inside the semi-underground bunker, many officers stood in front of the map.

At eleven o'clock, after the Japanese and puppet troops conducted a probing attack, Yanashita Shigeharu began to issue combat orders.

On the one hand, the general headquarters urged the troops of the 129th Division to encircle and annihilate the Lijiapo Yamazaki Brigade; on the other hand, it mobilized various ministries to actively block the reinforcements.

Li Yunlong was overjoyed after receiving the supplies.

The Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army assembled the 12th Reserve Regiment of the Jinsui Army, the machine gun battalion, the field artillery battalion, and the guard communication battalion.

But not long after they retreated to their positions, the Japs assembled their grenades and began shelling the communication trenches.

When fighting, they would not rush forward with rifles to stab.

Yamazaki Brigade began to hold a combat meeting, and all officers above second lieutenant gathered together.

Therefore, Li Yunlong judged that as long as his troops could rush to the position and engage in hand-to-hand combat, they would be able to completely defeat these little devils.

After the new regiment deployed its machine gun fire, it was hit by four Japanese infantry cannons, four rapid-fire cannons, and a large number of grenade launchers.

The sharp sword slashed directly at the little devil, and for a while the little devil also suffered casualties.

When the officers heard these words, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Some supplies also fell directly here at the new regiment's position.

At eight o'clock in the morning, not long after the sun had risen, an officer came to Yamazaki Jihei on the Lijiapo Highlands and said doubtfully.

After firing three bullets, everyone fixed their bayonets and started hand-to-hand combat.

"They need to shorten the attack route as much as possible to quickly enter our position."

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, this Eighth Route Army is Li Yunlong's new regiment that has been fighting jointly with Chu Yunfei's troops of the Shanxi-Sui Army."

The communications company directly connected the telephones to each battalion, and Chu Yunfei could bypass Qian Bojun's regiment headquarters at any time to command the 12th Reserve Regiment.

But they don't know when the opponent will attack, so the Japanese army needs to be vigilant at all times and not be negligent in the slightest.

Each team's three crooked light machine guns and three grenade launchers kept a close eye on the dynamics of the new group.

This time Chu Yunfei specially brought the 12th Reserve Regiment to the battlefield. He hoped that this unit could get out of the shadow of the previous defeat in Lancheng as soon as possible.

The new regiment wants to carry out earthwork work to shorten the attack distance, and Yamazaki Jihei will definitely not let their plan succeed.

After the officers were reminded by Yamazaki Jihei, they also responded.

"Their epaulettes have the designation of the New Regiment. This is an elite unit of the Eighth Route Army. The Jin Province Imperial Army's several attacks were directly related to them."

Subsequently, the New Regiment and other troops went to the highlands west of Xin County to rest and recuperate. Li Yunlong continued to discuss with Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui's 12th Reserve Regiment were defeated in Lancheng and suffered casualties.

Moreover, the ammunition consumption of Yamazaki Battalion is also staggering as the battle continues.

Huang Daofeng led the command team from behind and commanded. The puppet army officers waved their shell guns and constantly urged the troops to accelerate their advance.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army has a precise hit rate when shooting at close range.

The Kongjie Independent Regiment and the Ding Weixin Second Regiment were attacked in the highlands west of Xin County, suffering varying degrees of casualties. The two regiments currently have only 3,500 combat troops.

When Li Yunlong saw this scene, he directly withdrew his troops to avoid excessive casualties in the troops.

This will have a great impact on the Japanese army's march, and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters has received relevant reinforcement news.

At around ten o'clock, the Little Japanese Air Force arrived over the battlefield.

There were thoughtful expressions on their faces, and soon all the Japanese officers came to their senses.

Yamazaki Jihei pointed at the map, with a serious expression on his face, and began to issue combat orders.

At present, they have recovered somewhat, but only to 1,800 people, and they still lack certain soldiers and weapons.

Facing such a force, Yamazaki Jihei took it very seriously as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

This put a certain amount of psychological pressure on the little devil. After all, not knowing when the opponent would attack was the most torturous thing.

Li Yunlong made timely adjustments, and his troops began to shrink into attack positions and launch full defense.

The 9th and 10th Independent Infantry Brigades gathered on the north side, preparing to launch an attack on the flank.

Li Yunlong kept giving orders with a loud voice, his eyes were red.

After repelling the new regiment, the Japanese aviation force can quickly airdrop relevant combat supplies to them.

Yamamoto's special agent team, attached to the armored force, continues to be in control, and they are ready to make detours at any time.

At ten minutes past eleven, bombers arrived one after another over Yangcun.

The main forces of various ministries and local troops took action one after another. They used various tactics to contain the Japanese reinforcements.

And in terms of hand-to-hand combat, they also have unique ways to deal with the little devils.

"Old Zhao, please organize it so that food can be guaranteed and the soldiers cannot go hungry."

At half past nine, the Japanese army fired bursts of Type 92 heavy machine guns.

If the opponent continues to attack and the little devils launch defensive operations, they may not be under too much pressure.

The Japs' firepower was somewhat suppressed, and the new group took the opportunity to launch a counterattack with firepower.

"Xizi, you fought well. Just keep fighting like this. When the battle is over, I will treat you to a drink of authentic Fenjiu."

The new group wanted to shorten the attack distance, and Yamazaki Jihei quickly realized their idea.

"Now they are starting to dig traffic trenches from their attack positions towards us. Their purpose is very obvious."

Zhang Dabiao led dozens of people from the sword team and quickly advanced along the traffic trench.

It was at this time that the Lijiapo New Regiment had begun to organize troops to carry out combat strikes.

This was the new regiment's unique strategy to deal with the Japanese army. Li Yunlong believed that fighting here in Lijiapo was very suitable.

"Brother, please contact the subordinates of the 12th Reserve Regiment immediately and ask them to put the puppet troops in before fighting!"

"The field artillery battalion awaits orders from the brigade headquarters and then launches artillery operations."

"This puppet army is very arrogant. Let them know today that being a traitor will result in death without a burial place!"

Chu Yunfei observed the battlefield situation through the telescope and said with a serious expression on his face.
Chapter completed!
