"Brigade commander, there is news from the rear that the prisoner of war camp has been stormed."
A staff officer hurried over with the latest telegram and handed it to the commander of the 4th Brigade, Hiranobu Isamu.
"The prisoner of war camp was attacked by force?" Isamu Hiragaku was a little surprised when he heard this, but he soon stopped being surprised.
The main force of the Fourth Brigade was mobilized. This was an opportunity for the enemy to storm the prison camp.
If it were him, Yuuo Hirakawa, he would do the same thing.
After receiving the telegram and looking down, Isamu Hiragaku said: "The prisoners of war who escaped did not take the opportunity to cause havoc in our defense area, but disappeared. It seems that they probably escaped, but the rear strongholds should still be alert. "
At present, the defense area of the Fourth Brigade is empty. These thousands of prisoners of war can take the opportunity to harvest some strongholds with a few artillery pieces and destroy the rear of the Fourth Brigade.
But they disappeared. It seemed that they were frightened by the fourth brigade and ran away.
As for the fact that there are no more prisoners of war, that's not a big problem.
Once the 129th Division in front of us is destroyed, many prisoners can be captured.
The empire never lacks prisoners.
Although the Sakata United team's battle attack this afternoon did not go smoothly, the temporary defeat does not represent Sakata Nobutsu's incompetence.
"Ha Yi." The staff officer went to call back.
"Commander of the brigade, the prisoner-of-war camp was suddenly captured at this time, and thousands of prisoners of war disappeared. Do you think they will suddenly appear behind us?" Captain Kasahara Koizumi of the 22nd Regiment said suspiciously to Isamu Hiragakuo.
"Even if they suddenly appear behind us, can thousands of prisoners of war threaten us with their bare hands?" Isamu Hiragaku said disdainfully, "In the past, more than 20,000 people in their 27th Division and 72nd Division were directly beaten to the ground by Nobutetsu Sakata, but now only a few Thousands of prisoners of war, how could they come to die with their bare hands?”
"What if they have a way to get weapons?"
"How can we do it? Our blockade is so tight and weapons for thousands of people have been brought in. Do you think it's possible?" Isamu Hiragaku asked.
"But they used several artillery pieces to storm the prisoner-of-war camp. Where did this artillery come from?" Kasahara Koizumi said.
"I don't know where the artillery came from." Isamu Hiragaku shook his head and said: "I have asked the rear to be more vigilant. On our side, I still say the same thing. In the past, the 27th Division and the 72nd Division did not have 20,000 people. Our opponents, even if thousands of prisoners of war show up with weapons, they won't make any waves."
"Yes, yes." Kasahara Koizumi nodded and said nothing more.
In front of the powerful Fourth Brigade, thousands of prisoners of war, even if they have weapons, are not a threat.
If they dare to come and die, just wipe them out.
…
On the second day, when the first ray of the sun shone on this land, all the Japanese soldiers in the Sakata Regiment who could fight had finished their breakfast.
The soldiers wiped their bayonets and loaded their bullets, all with extremely serious expressions.
They are the third regiment, the army of glory!
Yesterday's battle was their shame.
Today, they want to make all the enemies on Cangyun Ridge disappear!
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The artillery of the Bantian Regiment braved the morning glow and bombarded Zhang Dabiao's position indiscriminately.
The artillery shells exploded on the secondary peak position, throwing up countless sand, rocks, grass and trees, mixed with flying flesh and blood.
"Kill Gadi!"
Nobuyuki Sakata personally waved the command sword and ordered more than 3,000 Imperial Army troops to attack with all their might.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
…
More than three thousand soldiers of the Imperial Association rushed to Zhang Dabiao's hilltop position with roars.
Behind the more than 3,000 Imperial Alliance troops, there were also all the Japanese soldiers pressed up by the Sakata Regiment.
Nobuyuki Sakata wanted to use the Imperial Alliance Army to consume the ammunition and firepower of Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, and then more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers took the opportunity to break through Zhang Dabiao's position.
Facing the attack of thousands of enemies, Zhang Dabiao was under great pressure.
The soldiers did not last long and suffered casualties in two companies.
"We can't hold it anymore, retreat to the main peak position of Cangyun Ridge!" Zhang Dabiao did not stand hard and ordered the troops to abandon the position in time.
The Imperial Alliance Army took the lead in rushing to Zhang Dabiao's secondary position, but they didn't have time to catch their breath.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The explosives left by Zhang Dabiao on the position exploded, and the explosives exploded among the crowd of the Imperial Association Army. Many soldiers of the Imperial Association Army fell in a pool of blood.
"Cunning Tubalu, fortunately I let the Imperial Alliance Army charge, otherwise, the casualties would have fallen on the Imperial Army, and the price would have been too high." Upon seeing this, Sakata Nobutsuru cursed and ordered the troops to continue the attack and not stop.
The poor Imperial Army soldiers were held at gunpoint and continued to attack the second hilltop position.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Mines exploded among the Imperial Army crowds, and mortar and grenade shells rained down above their heads.
Large swaths of Imperial Army soldiers fell.
There were even retreating Imperial Army soldiers.
But the Japanese soldiers behind them shot them without hesitation and forced them towards the enemy.
The soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who suffered heavy casualties could only attack the new sub-peak position again.
The battle lasted from morning to noon, and the new secondary peak position was finally occupied.
But one-third of the thousands of Imperial Army soldiers were left and could no longer fight.
Nobuyuki Sakata temporarily stopped the attack and allowed the troops to have lunch. After a short rest, he finally launched a fierce attack towards the main peak position of Cangyun Ridge.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The power of the artillery fire covering the charge was exerted to its extreme. Sand and rocks flew randomly on Cangyun Ridge, and the main peak position was blown into honeycomb.
"Push the Japs down for me, push the Japs down." Li Yunlong personally controlled a heavy machine gun and fired at the charging Japs crowd.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
boom!
boom!
…
Although the new regiment's light and heavy machine gun firepower was knocked off a lot, it still exerted powerful firepower.
Grenadier mortars and bombs continued to bomb, and even had an artillery battle with the Japanese.
But the new regiment was still outnumbered after all, and was rushed to the main peak position by the Japs soldiers of Sakata Regiment.
The two sides engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the main peak position of Cangyun Ridge, and Li Yunlong was forced to drive off the main peak position of Cangyun Ridge.
But Li Yunlong was not discouraged and quickly reorganized his troops to regain the main peak position again.
The recaptured main peak position did not last long and was lost again.
Then Li Yunlong took it back again.
The main peak position changed hands repeatedly, and the battle lasted until dark, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
At night, everyone had a rare night's rest.
The sun rose again on the third day, and the brutal fighting began again.
In the end, the casualties of the new regiment had reached two-thirds, and they once again lost their main peak position and were surrounded by the regiment on a mountain top.
"Brigadier Commander, there are not many soldiers around Li Yunlong anymore. Should this battle continue?" Kong Jie saw that Li Yunlong was fighting so fiercely and had so many casualties. He couldn't help but said to the brigade commander, "Do you want me to take some people with you?" To support his breakout?"
"Brigadier, the new regiment can't be exhausted. This is the most capable unit of our 386th Brigade." At this time, Cheng Xiazi couldn't help but speak to the brigade commander, "Order Li Yunlong to withdraw, we Go get him back."
Although Blind Miles and Li Yunlong didn't deal with each other very much on weekdays, seeing Li Yunlong trying to destroy all the troops made Blind Cheng feel uncomfortable.
Personal grudges are nothing compared to the overall situation.
The brigade commander's expression was moved. He also wanted Li Yunlong to withdraw.
But he did not listen to the suggestions of Kong Jie and Cheng Xiazi. He was firm: "I believe in Li Yunlong."
To be precise, the brigade commander believed in Wu Ze.
Because until now, Li Yunlong has not yet taken out the Italian cannon.
This means that the wedge machine has not yet appeared.
"brigadier……"
"brigadier……"
Kong Jie and Cheng Xiazi still wanted to persuade him.
"Shut up!" the brigade commander interrupted them, "We have to believe Li Yunlong!"
What else do you believe in this? Do you believe that he will die in battle? Cheng Xiazi cursed in his heart.
Kong Jie was thinking: Could it be that Li Yunlong still had some trump cards that he hadn't used yet, but he was going to be doomed now.
…
"Kamatomo-kun, although we paid the price of nearly a brigade, we have finally surrounded this enemy on the last hill. Their elimination is a certainty." Sakata Nobutsu said to Puyou with some exhaustion and satisfaction.
To be honest, the army in front of him was the most satisfactory opponent he had encountered since he set foot on this land.
The opponent's strength was only more than a thousand, but they were able to forcefully fight with themselves for such a long time, which other Chinese troops could not do.
"It's a pity that we haven't captured a single prisoner so far, and we don't know the numbers of the troops on the opposite side yet," Pu You said.
"Baga, that's ridiculous!" Nobuyuki Sakata scolded, "The war has been going on for so long, and we don't even know the enemy's number!"
"There is no way, we really can't capture prisoners." Pu You shook his head and then said: "Liant Commander, the remaining enemies don't have many machine guns anymore. At most, they still have a few mortars. I think using a brigade is enough." Destroy them. When the time comes, the commander who captures them will naturally know their numbers."
"One brigade is not enough. Let the third brigade support the fifth brigade. As you can see, this force is very strong. The remaining ones are elites. We can't underestimate the enemy." Sakata Nobutsu said, "Move the command post forward as well. Well, I want to see their commander captured alive with my own eyes."
"Ha Yi." Pu You nodded and immediately arranged to move the command post forward.
Pu You was careful not to move the command post too close because the opponent also had mortars.
Pu You moved the command post out of the range of the opponent's mortars, completely unaware that the opponent's designation was the New Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, and that the opponent's killer Italian artillery had not yet been taken out.
Italian artillery has a much longer range than mortars.
Mortars couldn't hit the command post, but Italian artillery could.
The fatal mistake of moving the command post paved the way for the defeat of the Sakata Wing.
…
358 regiment
"Regiment leader, we just reported from the front that there are not many Eighth Route Army left in Cangyunling, and they are besieged on a hilltop by the Bantian Alliance." Fang Ligong came to report to Chu Yunfei, "The Bantian Alliance will destroy them. It’s just a matter of time.”
"It's a pity that such a capable team is like this..." Chu Yunfei sighed, "Even if we can't directly send troops to rescue them, it would be good to at least give them some artillery support."
Fang Ligong cited the order from the World War II Zone Commander's Department to explain: "Regiment leader, this is not easy to handle. To cooperate with the troops of the 18th Group Army in combat, you need a written order from the Commander's Department. Violators will be sent to a military court. "
"Why don't I know?" Chu Yunfei nodded, still sighing, "But watching the Japanese annihilate them, but we stood still, it felt bad in our hearts. No matter what, they were annihilated, and all we lost was Our national defense strength."
Fang Ligong said: "The problem is, if our troops are surrounded, we will help even if we are disobedient. But this is the Eighth Route Army. They are only friendly forces in theory. In fact, they are a serious enemy of Wei Yuanzhang. , it will be solved sooner or later."
"Alas." Chu Yunfei sighed again, then shook his head, "Forget it, let's not mention it. Inform the forward observation post and pay close attention to the Japanese movements."
"yes."
…
new group
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Li Yunlong held the telescope and watched the Bantian Wing's command post move forward, and he laughed in surprise.
Wu Ze's so-called opportunity has arrived, hahahaha.
Sakata, that bastard, is pretty cunning. He set up the command post outside the range of my mortars, but you don’t know that I still have Italian artillery, hahaha!
"Captain, why are you laughing?" Zhang Dabiao came over suspiciously.
In front of him, there were not many soldiers left in the new regiment, and they were completely surrounded.
At this time, let alone continuing to fight with the Sakata United Team, even breaking out of the encirclement would probably be a problem.
At this time, why is the leader still laughing?
"Da Biao, call Wang Chengzhu over immediately." Li Yunlong said.
"Commander, are you going to use Italian artillery now?" Zhang Dabiao realized something.
"Go ahead."
"Yes." Zhang Dabiao ran away quickly.
Soon, Wang Chengzhu came over and saluted Li Yunlong: "Captain."
"Zhuzi, I guess you must be complaining behind your back again." Li Yunlong had already noticed that Wang Chengzhu had great dissatisfaction written on his face.
"Captain, we have Italian artillery. If we didn't use it earlier, it's better now. We are surrounded and there are not many troops left. It's a bit late to use it now..." Wang Chengzhu started to complain directly.
Li Yunlong glared at Wang Chengzhu: "Zhuzhu, do you want me to teach you how to fight?"
Wang Chengzhu curled his lips and said nothing, but he was still unconvinced in his heart.
Although the regiment leader fought brilliantly in this battle, the new regiment was also in danger of being wiped out.
"Zhuzi, come and see what's on the hillside over there." Li Yunlong was not angry and pointed to Wang Chengzhu's forward command post of the Bantian Regiment.
Wang Chengzhu looked in the direction of Li Yunlong's finger with surprise on his face: "Captain, that seems to be the command post of the Bantian Regiment."
"Now do you know why I didn't expose the Italian artillery in advance? We're just waiting here for this bastard Sakata." Li Yunlong said excitedly, "This little devil thinks that setting up the command post outside the range of our mortars will be fine. Well, I will use Italian cannon to bombard him. Zhuzi, you immediately bring me the Italian cannon."
"Yes, leader." Wang Chengzhu immediately became more energetic.
If you kill Sakata with one shot, this is a big achievement.
After the trouble is over, the new group can still break out of the siege.
The Italian artillery was quickly moved over, and Li Yunlong said to Wang Chengzhu seriously: "Zhuzhu, don't let me miss it. I will kill Sakata's command post with one shell."
"Captain, I hit the target, you reward me with half a catty of sweet potato roasting." Wang Chengzhu took the opportunity to ask for wine.
"No problem. If you hit the target with one shot, I'll give you a pound!" Li Yunlong agreed.
"Commander, just keep an eye on it." Wang Chengzhu began to adjust the angle of the Italian cannon.
"Dabiao, get ready, the whole regiment is preparing for the final charge!" Li Yunlong turned to Zhang Dabiao while Wang Chengzhu was adjusting the Italian cannon.
"Captain, the Japanese are about to charge us right now." Zhang Dabiao paused and said, "After we kill Sakata, we can just take the opportunity to break out. Could it be that you compromised the New Regiment here..."
"There are brigade commander and Kong Erluzi behind us. You guys think I'm stupid. Just a few people and want to eat all the Bantian Alliance." Li Yunlong said, "As long as my Italian cannon fires, that will be the signal." , the brigade commander hears it and will immediately press the troops up."
"Hahaha, captain, once this is done, we can wrap up the Sakata United team." Zhang Dabiao laughed.
"Get ready." Li Yunlong said.
"yes."
Soon, preparations were made, and the remaining soldiers of the new regiment had their bayonets fixed and prepared for the final charge.
Li Yunlong turned to Wang Chengzhu and said, "Zhuzhu, fire for me and kill Bantian!"
"Yes." Wang Chengzhu nodded, loaded the cannonball himself, and then pulled the rope hard.
boom!
The Italian artillery roared, and a shell struck the tent on the opposite hillside with fury.
Inside the tent, the Sakata Regiment, Adjutant Kama Yu and several assistant officers were still discussing something. When the Italian artillery shells flew in, a strong sense of crisis instantly rose in their hearts.
It's a feeling they develop on the battlefield.
But this sense of crisis is only fleeting for them.
The Italian artillery shells arrived in an instant, and with a bang, the Sakata regiment, his adjutant, and several other Japanese assistant officers all fell in a pool of blood.
A large crater was opened where the command post was located, and the command post flew into the sky.
"Hahaha, Captain, I hit the target!" Wang Chengzhu was overjoyed, "Captain, you promised me that you would burn a pound of sweet potatoes. You can't default on your debt."
"Zhuzi, continue artillery support, Zhang Dabiao, charge!" Li Yunlong held a light machine gun and immediately launched a countercharge with Zhang Dabiao and a few soldiers.
"Yes." Zhang Dabiao responded and shouted: "Charge!"
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
…
The few soldiers in the new group immediately launched a countercharge!
In the TV series "Bright Sword", after Wang Chengzhu blasted the command post of the Sakata Regiment with a mortar, he got carried away and was shot dead by a Japanese sniper.
But here, Li Yunlong's troops did not move closer than 500 meters, and the Japanese snipers were unable to hit Wang Chengzhu, so the complacent Wang Chengzhu was not shot.
Seeing that Li Yunlong led his troops to counterattack quickly, Wang Chengzhu quickly entered the state, controlled the Italian artillery, and violently bombarded the Japanese firepower points in the encirclement, covering Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao's charge.
On the brigade commander's side, he could hardly wait until he finally heard the sound of Italian artillery fire.
The Italian cannon sounded. This was when Li Yunlong saw the opportunity, so he took out his final trump card.
Now that the trump card has been brought out, what does this mean? It means that the brigade commander should not hesitate to press the troops.
"You three, lead your troops to Cangyun Ridge immediately!" The brigade commander immediately issued an order to the three commanders of the Independent Regiment, the 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment.
Kong Jiecheng, the blind man, and the leader of the 771 regiment were all still a little confused. Li Yunlong had just taken out the Italian cannon now. I'm afraid it was too late.
At this time, what are the three groups of us going to do, collect Li Yunlong's body?
Seeing the three men stunned, the brigade commander shouted: "What are you doing? Your ears are stuffed with donkey hair. Get your troops on top of me!!"
Kong Jiecheng, the leader of the Blind 771 regiment, and the three others immediately went into a rage when they saw the brigade commander, and they couldn't think about it anymore.
Maybe the brigade commander wanted to rescue Li Yunlong.
The three of them did not hesitate and quickly moved towards Cangyun Ridge with their respective troops.
"Lao Li, hold on, I, Lao Kong, are here to save you." Kong Jie prayed in his heart while charging.
"Li Yunlong, you must not die. From now on, I want you to teach me how to fight." There were already tears in Cheng Xiazi's eyes.
But Kong Jie and Cheng Xiazi didn't know that their pounce was not to collect Li Yunlong's body, but to inflict the final heavy blow to Bantian United!
