"Give it to me, idiot!"
Soon, the little Japanese launched a second wave of offensive, but they were still beaten and unable to advance even an inch in the pass.
As long as you get slightly closer to the exit of the pass, there will be a wave of intense machine gun fire and explosive grenades, covering the entire pass in fire.
The little devil has no room to rush through!
Just as the little Japanese dragged the howling wounded out of the pass in embarrassment, Major Akai and Major Takeshita from behind also arrived with large troops.
Major Akai and the two men immediately called the captain to learn about the specific situation.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Captain, the enemy is relying on favorable terrain to resist our army!"
Major Akai and Major Takeshita immediately made the same judgment, "They must be buying time for the main force to evacuate!"
The two majors couldn't help but cheer up, they finally caught Li Yunlong's tail!
Major Akai picked up the telescope and began to observe the specific situation inside the pass. He suddenly paused and quickly adjusted the focus.
"Masaka?"
Through the telescope, he saw Liu Bo who was deliberately dodging his figure.
The figure that flashed by was very simple. There were no armed belts, bullet pouches and other equipment like other soldiers. There was only a pistol on the waist, and it was obviously not the shell gun usually used by the Eighth Route Army.
This made Major Akai make a bold guess, and immediately asked Major Takeshita to observe, "Major Takeshita, please take a closer look!"
After seeing Liu Bo's figure, Major Takeshita, who was eager for merit, immediately recognized that it was Li Yunlong!
"Hahaha, Major Akai, we caught him!"
Major Akai was excited but also a little suspicious. Did Li Yunlong only have these troops? Why did he choose to lead the team by himself? Did he have some conspiracy?
However, these suspicions were temporarily suppressed by him. After all, they had such troops, and Major Akai was confident to deal with any changes.
Major Akai immediately issued an order, "Send my order!"
"Artillery squadron, machine gun squadron, deploy quickly!"
"Carry out suppressive fire, and the third team is ready to charge!"
As the order was issued, about five hundred meters away from the bell mouth, the two infantry guns of the artillery squad quickly deployed.
The heavy machine guns of the machine gun squadron also established a position in front of the bell mouth, and fought against the machine guns of the first company on the opposite side.
For a time, countless bullets came and went in the pass, which was less than three meters wide, and no one could set foot in it.
The little devil could only wait for the infantry artillery to play its role and wait until the other side was suppressed by artillery fire before launching a charge.
Unfortunately, although the infantry artillery was already very accurate, the range of fire was too narrow, and the artillery suppression exerted on the first company was not ideal.
When the artillery fire gradually subsided, the third team decisively launched a charge.
Inside the bell mouth, a company quickly launched a counterattack, opening up light and heavy firepower. Under the crossfire, the little Japanese didn't even reach the exit before being beaten back again.
In this way, the two sides fought back and forth for more than two hours inside and outside the pass.
Without achieving any results, the little devil could only choose to temporarily stop the offensive and start preparing for the next attack.
At the same time, the company on the other side of the pass seized the time to treat the wounded, repair damaged fortifications, and replenish ammunition and physical strength.
Seeing that he still couldn't take the pass, Major Takeshita was already a little anxious, fearing that something unexpected would happen and Li Yunlong would escape from under his nose.
After finding Major Akai, Major Takeshita took the initiative to propose dividing the troops and encircling them with two wings.
After thinking for a moment, Major Akai agreed with Major Takeshita's suggestion. The terrain here was very unfavorable to them and they could not give full play to their strength advantage.
If we continue to simply attack this pass, we may cause many unnecessary casualties to our own team.
So after the two majors discussed it, Major Akai sent a reinforced squadron to circle back from the north.
To the south, a small team was sent from the military police brigade to lead Han Huicheng's puppet army camp to encircle and outflank them from the south.
The little devil's move of dividing the troops was clearly seen by a battalion of investigators hiding on the top of the mountain, who immediately used a walkie-talkie to notify the regimental commander and battalion commander of the specific situation.
After receiving the news, Li Yunlong immediately asked Liu Bo to wait for an opportunity to retreat, "One battalion commander, one battalion commander!"
Liu Bo's response came quickly over the walkie-talkie, and Li Yunlong immediately issued a new order, "In half an hour, when the little Japs split up on both wings and move away, you choose an opportunity to retreat and bring in the little Japs on the opposite side!"
After receiving the order, Liu Bo arranged for people to take away the wounded before the Japs started to attack again.
Then he notified all the soldiers of the first company of the specific arrangements to fake defeat and lure the enemy. He was considered to be very familiar with the task.
Instead of waiting for half an hour, only about twenty minutes later, the Japs launched another offensive. This time the attacking troops were replaced by Major Takeshita's military police brigade.
After all, Major Akai had already suffered many casualties in front of him, and he couldn't just watch from the sidelines, otherwise the credit he would receive by then would be minimal.
However, compared to Major Akai's infantry brigade, the little devils of the military police brigade were obviously inferior, and they were completely unable to advance within the pass.
This made Major Takeshita feel a little embarrassed. He kept waving his command sword angrily from behind and loudly urged his soldiers, "Hayaku! Charge in!"
Fortunately, they don't need to rush in now, they just need to hold off Li Yunlong and buy time for the outflanking troops.
However, this change almost disrupted Liu Bo's plan. He did not expect that the little devil suddenly stretched his hips.
After persisting for more than ten minutes and pushing the little Japanese out of the pass again, Liu Bo ordered a company of 60 mortars to fire several smoke bombs and land in the pass.
Suddenly, smoke filled the pass, completely blocking the view.
Major Takeshita was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, "Bagaya Road! Li Yunlong is going to run!"
Dominated by this subjective emotion, Major Takeshita gave up all other thoughts and just wanted to catch up.
Without even saying a word to Major Akai, he immediately launched a full team charge, trying to catch the escaping Li Yunlong.
By the time Major Akai came from behind after hearing the news, Major Takeshita had already led his team to chase into the pass.
This unusual change immediately made Major Akai suspicious, and Major Takeshita and the others rushed in so suddenly that they were already separated from the Akai brigade.
"Baga, this idiot Takeshita is too impulsive!"
Although it is not certain whether Li Yunlong has ulterior motives, pursuing blindly is a taboo for military strategists.
Just when Major Akai was cursing angrily, he was mobilizing his troops and preparing to enter the pass.
Major Takeshita had already led the team out of the smoke and arrived at the exit of the pass.
As soon as they entered, the terrain became clearer. Major Takeshita was riding a horse and could already see the backs of a company in the distance.
More than 400 young Japanese from the military police brigade dispersed their formation, and under the shouts of Major Takeshita, they began to quickly chase the first company in the distance.
The little devil's team only moved forward less than two hundred meters, and something unexpected happened suddenly.
