Li Yunlong returned to the station of the New Regiment. After waiting for two days, he did not see Kong Jie sending Wang Chengzhu and Wang Gensheng back. He couldn't help but cursed and greeted Kong Jie several times.
Then the brigade headquarters conveyed an order for Li Yunlong's new regiment headquarters to actively prepare for war and wait for instructions from their superiors at any time.
Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city.
On the eve of the war, a solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire New Regiment station. Li Yunlong was busy mobilizing the entire regiment and boosting morale to prepare for war. He had to temporarily forget about Wang Chengzhu and Wang Gensheng.
Ten days.
Nobuyuki Sakata reported to his superiors one by one the rampant actions of the Eighth Route Army in Northwestern Shanxi during this period, including ambushing transport teams in many places, breaking through Changpo strongholds, and destroying important transportation lines.
14th.
The commander of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka, issued a military order: order the surrounding garrison troops to cooperate with the Bantian unit to encircle and suppress the main force of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army entrenched in northwest Shanxi.
On the 15th.
Nobuyuki Sakata led the main force of the alliance to approach the Cangyun Ridge area.
Taking into account the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, in response to this large-scale raid by the Japanese army, the brigade chiefs had already expressed their attitude as early as a week ago: temporarily avoid the edge and retreat!
All the evacuation work had been carried out secretly a week ago. However, because the Japanese army strengthened the garrison at various passes and set up many more roadblocks, the speed of the evacuation work was greatly slowed down.
The Japanese blockade was too tight and it was impossible to move during the day, so the transfer of the arsenal took four or five nights before it was successfully completed.
The most important things in the base area are the arsenal and the field hospital. However, comrades at the hospital said that there are still many seriously wounded people in the hospital (wounded people who were injured by several regiments in small-scale battles with the Japanese army in the surrounding areas in recent days) who urgently need to be treated, so they have been delayed until Finally, preparations were made for evacuation.
Early morning on the 15th.
The brigade headquarters realized that it could not delay any longer, so it ordered the field hospital to be transferred immediately, and Li Yunlong led a new regiment to cover it.
As for the task of covering the transfer of the field hospital, Li Yunlong completed it very well. Everything originally went smoothly.
Li Yunlong, who was full of cunning ideas, sent teams to pretend to attack the Japanese strongholds from two other directions in order to hide the enemy's secrets, so as to attract the attention of the Japanese and thus cover the evacuation of the field hospital.
Who would have thought that it was because several military dogs of the Sakata Regiment showed flaws.
In order to deal with the 386th Brigade, Sakata, a cunning old devil, specially formed a tracking team, composed of former hunters and soldiers who were good at tracking prey, and equipped with two or three excellent military dogs.
The reason for making such preparations is because this arrogant and arrogant general of the Japanese Empire believes that the Japanese Empire is invincible enough to march across the North China Plain, starting from Marco Polo Bridge and ending in Songhu, When they arrived in Nanjing, the troops headed west to the Yellow River. The stupid Chinese army burst the embankment at Huayuankou, directing and acting on their own, which made everyone laugh.
The Imperial Japanese Army marched all the way south, tearing apart almost half of the Nanjing government.
Along the way, the Chinese army was as panic-stricken as a lost dog. It collapsed at the first touch and did not dare to compete head-on with the Imperial Japanese Army.
Therefore, Sakata Nobuzhe was very arrogant and believed that the Eighth Route Army would never dare to overwhelm its troops in this sweep of northwest Shanxi.
The so-called 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was just something in the pocket of his Bantian Regiment.
Once the enemy flees and is defeated, his tracking team will naturally come in handy.
The fact seems to be as expected by the old Japanese soldier Bantian. The main force of Bantian's regiment pointed out that all the Eighth Route Army encountered along the way retreated.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army refused to give in and did not dare to fight, the arrogant Sakata felt confident that his power had frightened the Eighth Route Army!
In this way, the Bantian Alliance fought fiercely all the way, desperately chasing the 386th Brigade that was retreating all the way.
When approaching the Cangyun Ridge area, Bantian's tracking team suddenly received news that a military dog had tracked an Eighth Route Army team. They used binoculars to detect from a distance and found that there were stretchers, wounded people, bandages, medicine boxes, etc. in the team. It should be a field hospital that the Eighth Route Army is moving to.
The team escorting the relocation of the field hospital might not even be considered the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Sakata didn't take it to heart, but he didn't mind eating the Eighth Route Army's field hospital by the way.
The opponent's hasty retreat along the way has already made Sakata Nobutetsu swollen to a considerable extent.
Sakata immediately ordered a forward attack to seize the commanding heights of the Cangyunling position and eliminate the Eighth Route Army unit that was covering the transfer of the field hospital.
New group.
Almost at the same time that the Japs discovered the new team, the reconnaissance platoon of the New Regiment also discovered the Japs.
The news immediately reached the ears of the group leader Li Yunlong.
The outstanding military commander Li Yunlong immediately realized that the situation was critical. Now that the Japanese had discovered the field hospital and his team, they would not let him leave.
Not far away is the Cangyunling position. Due to the peculiar shape of the mountain, whoever can occupy the commanding heights can occupy the reverse slope and take the initiative.
Li Yunlong, who wanted to understand this, immediately ordered without any hesitation: "Send a company to continue to cover the evacuation of the field hospital. Zhang Dabiao led other teams with me to garrison the commanding hilltop of Cangyun Ridge and told the brothers that they must be given to me. We must hold on tightly to prevent the Japanese from attacking and threatening the transfer of the field hospital. This is a task assigned to me by the brigade commander, and I cannot mess with it!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao responded.
After Li Yunlong's order was issued, the main force of the new regiment quickly deployed on several commanding heights in Cangyun Ridge, and seized the time to build defenses and stand ready to block the Japanese army.
Just like that, when the arrogant and arrogant Sakata Nobutsu led his Sakata Regiment towards the Cangyunling position, I thought it would be as overwhelming and devastating as before.
But he didn't want to suffer a loss in the subsequent attack on the Cangyunling position.
Under the outstanding command of Li Yunlong, the New Regiment built exquisite anti-slope defenses on the commanding heights of the mountains. Sakata originally wanted to take the Cangyunling position by force with the advantage of the artillery fire at hand, but was instead used by the New Regiment to condescend. The terrain was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and several attacks were repelled one after another.
After several charges, hundreds of corpses of imperial soldiers were lying scattered on the front line.
Sakata was angry.
The Bantian Regiment, which was not looked down upon by the elites of the Central Army, actually suffered a loss at the hands of such a small group of stragglers from the Eighth Route Army.
This is an absolutely unforgivable shame.
The anger did not make Sakata lose his mind. On the contrary, Sakata's face was unusually calm. With excellent military literacy, he quickly issued the most precise order based on the current battle situation:
The main force was covered by artillery fire and launched a fierce attack from the front. The other two units were detoured and outflanked. They launched a surprise attack on the main position of Cangyunling from both flanks and ate up the Eighth Route Army without leaving any one behind!
