Zhang Dabiao set off immediately with a thousand people, followed by tens of thousands of ordinary people.
Arriving at a stronghold, Zhang Dabiao asked people to set up Italian artillery, first cut the telephone lines, and then used psychological tactics to induce the stronghold to surrender.
boom!
boom!
…
After the Italian artillery blasted away the two turrets and killed the Japanese soldiers inside, the Imperial Army troops in this stronghold quickly chose to surrender.
Zhang Dabiao left a platoon to lead the people to clean up the battlefield, and immediately set off to the next stronghold.
When he arrived at the next stronghold, Zhang Dabiao followed suit and cut the phone line first, and then used Italian artillery to use psychological tactics to induce the stronghold to surrender.
The Imperial Association Army knew what was going on, so they stopped firing.
If you don't know what's interesting, just shoot.
I have to say, this guy is good, and he will make money easily.
Soon, this stronghold was easily captured again.
Of course, although the telephone line was cut, the sound of gunfire was not small, and it soon alerted the Fourth Brigade.
Fourth Brigade
The commander of the 4th Brigade, Isao Hiragaku, was visiting the wounded soldiers. This time on the frontal battlefield, due to insufficient aircraft support, the casualties of the troops on the ground were much higher than before.
Hiragakuo Yuuo's troops suffered half casualties, but he felt distressed.
The Third Regiment was completely wiped out, and the 22nd Regiment had less than 2,000 men left. Including the brigade's logistics personnel, the number of people capable of fighting barely reached 2,500.
These two thousand and five hundred men had to be divided into groups to garrison the defense area. Hirakawa Yongfu only had more than a thousand Japanese soldiers at his disposal.
"Captain of the brigade, there is an urgent military situation coming from the stronghold below." Captain Kasahara Koizumi of the 22nd Regiment hurried over to report to Hiraguri Yufu.
"What's going on?" Hiragaku Yufu asked quickly.
"The Eighth Route New Regiment is looting the strongholds in our defense zone. Three strongholds have already fallen." Kasahara Koizumi replied.
"Baga, is this the new group of Eight Route Army!"
As soon as he heard the word "Balu New Team", Hirakawa Yongfu felt itchy with hatred.
In the past, during the battle of Cangyunling, Sakata's third regiment was defeated by this new regiment, and then suffered a disaster.
Sadly, due to the shortage of planes, Hiragakuo Yufu could not immediately find a new group to avenge his shame, but could only send his troops to the frontal battlefield.
On the frontal battlefield, Hiragaku Yufu's troops were lost in half again, and now they had no energy left to find the new group to settle accounts.
But now, this new group actually took the initiative to provoke the Fourth Brigade. It was really a tiger swatting a fly on its head, seeking death! "
"It's the Eighth Route New One Regiment." Kasahara Koizumi also gritted his teeth and said, "There is a saying in China that a dragon falls into the water and is tricked by a shrimp, and a tiger falls down and is bullied by a dog! This Eighth Route New One Regiment must have seen our fourth brigade fight again on the frontal battlefield. They were hit hard, so now they are provoking us again, and..."
"And what?" Hiragakuo Yufu asked.
"And their troops led a large number of ordinary people behind them. It seems that they came out specifically to loot our fourth brigade in preparation for the New Year..." Kasahara Koizumi did not finish his words.
"Baga!" Pinglu Yongfu was furious: "This is simply not looking down upon my fourth brigade. His new brigade actually came out to loot with the common people!"
"Yes, brigade commander, the Eighth Route New Group is too rampant and we can't stop it!" Kasahara Koizumi said, "Should we assemble the troops immediately?"
"How many troops are there in the new regiment?" Even though he was angry, Hirakawa Yongfu was not yet dizzy.
The fighting power of the new regiment was learned by the fourth brigade on Cangyun Ridge in the past.
At present, there are not many troops left in the Fourth Brigade, so we can no longer be careless and underestimate the enemy.
"It seems like there are only 1,800 people..." Kasahara Koizumi said.
"Baga!" Hiragakuo Yufu shouted, "The military situation is unreliable! You must immediately give me a thorough understanding of the strength of the new regiment!"
Although the New Regiment won the battle at Cangyun Ridge, they definitely didn't have many troops left.
Over the past few months, they have recruited a new regiment, which should number more than 1,800 people.
"Hai." Kasahara Koizumi responded and hurried away.
Soon, Kasahara Koizumi appeared in front of Hiragaku Yufu again, with an extremely shameful and angry expression: "Brigade Commander, we have already figured it out. The strength of the new regiment is one thousand people."
A thousand people on Tuba Road want to come to the Fourth Brigade to loot supplies for the New Year. This is simply a huge provocation!
Even though the Fourth Brigade is now in a state of decline, it still has more troops capable of fighting than his new regiment.
His new regiment actually dared to come out to loot, and even brought the common people with them. This showed that they did not take the Fourth Brigade seriously at all.
"Baga!" When Yongfu Hirglu heard this, he was also very angry: "A mere thousand people from Tuba Road dare to come to our fourth brigade defense area and act recklessly!"
"Commander of the brigade, do you want to assemble the troops immediately..." Kasahara Koizumi said.
"Are you kidding me? The new group of young people are now bullying my fourth brigade. How can I bear this humiliation!" Isamu Hiragaku spat far away, "Immediately gather those who can." Gather all the Emperor's soldiers, I will personally kill this new group of Xiaoxiao's followers and avenge Sakata-kun!"
"Commander of the brigade, do you want to assemble the Imperial Alliance Army..."
"Don't bring that bunch of rubbish with you." Isamu Hiragaku waved his hands and made a plan. "We, more than a thousand Imperial Army soldiers, have already killed a chicken with a sledgehammer to deal with the one thousand people in his new regiment!"
It also takes time to assemble the Imperial Alliance Army's troops. The new regiment has now bullied the Fourth Brigade. Hiragaku Yufu wants to kill the new regiment immediately, so he has no time to let the Imperial Alliance Army waste time.
"Hai." Kasahara Koizumi responded.
Soon, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers gathered quickly.
Regarding the emergency gathering, the Japanese soldiers were also very confused and talked about it:
"I don't know why the brigade commander gathered us together urgently. Could it be that we are going to the front battlefield again?"
"It's probably not the frontal battlefield. The Chinese army also has to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, they won't fight fiercely."
…
Faced with the doubts of the Japanese soldiers, Hirakawa Yongfu personally spoke: "Fellow warriors, I have just received news that the new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army with only a thousand people dared to invade the defense area of our fourth brigade. They also brought A large number of ordinary people, this is obviously a provocation, do they really think that my fourth brigade is a soft persimmon?"
When more than a thousand Japanese soldiers heard this, they immediately exploded:
"Baga, this Eight-Road New Group simply doesn't know whether to live or die. We haven't even gone to settle the score with them, but they actually came to provoke us!"
"Yes, do you really think that our fourth brigade will be defeated? There is talk about China. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Our fourth brigade still has more troops than his new regiment."
"That's right, a mere thousand people from the New Regiment are here to seek death, so let's help them!"
…
Seeing that the morale of the Fourth Brigade was aroused, Hirakawa Yongfu waved his hand to suppress the discussion of the soldiers and said: "Fearless warriors, I am as angry as you. The honor of the Fourth Brigade was not given the chance to be taken back before. Now this new regiment is once again If they come to us on their own initiative, let’s let them pay with their blood.”
"Long live!"
"Long live the Fourth Brigade!"
"Long live!"
…
More than a thousand Japanese soldiers immediately started shouting with murderous intent.
"Let's go!" Hirakata Yongfu didn't hesitate. He immediately waved his hand and quickly dispatched troops with more than a thousand Japanese soldiers.
----------
"Captain, commander, commander, come out, Hirakata Yongfu is out." Xiao Wuzi quickly ran over to report to Li Yunlong.
Although Xiao Wuzi is Li Yunlong's messenger, he is clever and sometimes also serves as a reconnaissance mission.
He was sent by Li Yunlong to spy on the movements of the Fourth Brigade.
"Have everyone come out?" Li Yunlong was very calm.
Zhang Dabiao led a thousand people to loot the stronghold of the Fourth Brigade. If Li Yunlong was the commander of the Fourth Brigade, his lungs would be blown away.
Therefore, it was expected that Hiragakuo Yufu would lead his troops out to take revenge.
"They're all out, more than a thousand Japs are out." Xiao Wuzi nodded.
"Now that they are all out, let's send him Hirakata Yongfu on his way." Li Yunlong geared up, "In the past, we had no chance to deal with his fourth brigade in the battle of Cangyun Ridge, but now I want to kill him Hirakawa Yongfu to celebrate the New Year! I haven't captured the General's Sword yet, but it seems like I can do it today."
Hiragakuo Yuuo is the commander of the major general brigade, so his sword is the general's sword.
It is of great significance to capture the Japanese general's sword.
Until now during the Anti-Japanese War, no one has captured a Japanese general's knife.
The saber of the Japs commander is, in a sense, also the totem of the Japs army.
The commander's command sword waved, and the Japanese troops were about to attack and charge.
Once a Japanese officer is killed in battle, the Japanese soldiers will fight tooth and nail to protect their swords.
In November, although he killed Lieutenant General Abe Norihide, known as the "Flower of Famous Generals" among the Japanese, his general's sword was still picked up by other Japanese soldiers.
On the frontal battlefield, even if the leader of the Japs Brigade was killed, his general's official sword would also be taken away by his subordinates.
Therefore, it is of extraordinary significance to be able to capture the Japanese general's sword.
"Convey my order to Dabiao and ask him to quickly move his troops to Luoxueling." Li Yunlong said to Xiao Wuzi, "Last time, Ping Lu Yongfu died in Luoxueling. This time, I want to Let him die under Luoxue Ridge!"
"Yes." Xiaowuzi ran away quickly.
…
Soon, Zhang Dabiao's troops and Li Yunlong's troops met at Luoxueling.
"Da Biao, you did a good job. Yongfu Pinglu came out in person." Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao, "Last time, we didn't kill Yongfu Pinglu here. Let's make it up for him today."
"Commander, just tell me what to do?" Zhang Dabiao said.
"When Hirakata Yongfu comes to Luoxue Ridge, no matter how angry he is, he will not easily let the troops fall into our ambush. We will not set up an ambush in Luoxue Ridge, but we will do it this way..."
…
Let's talk about Hiragaku Yongfu. He hurriedly set off with more than a thousand Japanese soldiers.
Soon we arrived at a location not far from Luoxue Ridge.
Looking at Luoxue Ridge, Hirakata Yongfu was still sighing: "I remember the last time, the Eighth Route Army's new regiment chased us to Luoxue Ridge. Fortunately, we had the barrier of Luoxue Ridge. Otherwise, our fourth brigade would have lost face. It’s even more powerful.”
"Captain of the brigade, Luo Xue Ridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there is an ambush, we..." Kasahara Koizumi warned.
Hirakata Yongfu did not underestimate the enemy and said: "Let the scouts quickly conduct a reconnaissance on Luoxue Ridge..."
Before Hiragakuo Yufu finished his words, a sudden change occurred.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Dozens of artillery shells were fired from different directions and landed on the crowd of Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard suffered nearly a hundred casualties on the spot.
"Haga, this must be the Eighth Route Army's new regiment!" Kasahara Koizumi yelled towards Hiragakuo Yufu, "Brigade commander, I'm afraid we have fallen into a trap."
Fire dozens of artillery shells at once, including mortars and mountain artillery. A team of a thousand people may not necessarily have so many artillery.
"I don't care if he fell into the trap or not, just fight him!" Hirakawa Yongfu said angrily and ordered the Japanese soldiers to quickly organize their troops and stabilize their position.
The mortars and grenadiers quickly searched for targets.
Machine gunners provided covering fire, while Japanese soldiers held guns and built a line of defense.
The waves wash away the sand, and the rest are the elites.
The more than 1,000 people including Isao Hirakaku are all the absolute elites of the Fourth Brigade, and their combat literacy is already at the top of the Japanese army.
But no matter how top-notch the Japanese soldiers are, they can't withstand the fierce bombardment of artillery.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
Dozens of artillery pieces from the new regiment kept firing, and every few seconds, a round of artillery shells fell towards the heads of the Japanese soldiers.
Artillery shells were flying everywhere, and the Japanese soldiers were bloody and suffered heavy casualties.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
The Japanese soldiers' artillery and machine guns immediately fired back fiercely.
Although the artillery of the new regiment was moved, it was still damaged.
But at Li Yunlong's order, the whole new regiment opened fire.
When you are poor, pay attention to precise strikes.
If you are rich, you should pay attention to coverage and attack.
Today's Xinyi Tuan is no longer as wealthy as ordinary people.
With more people comes better guns.
More people and better guns means more firepower.
As soon as the thousands of people in the new regiment opened fire, they directly suppressed the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers including Hirakawa Yongfu.
Taking advantage of Hirakaku Yongfu being suppressed, Li Yunlong took the opportunity to approach and press him from all directions with his troops.
No matter how good the combat skills of the Japanese soldiers are, they cannot withstand attacks from all directions from superior enemies.
More and more Japanese soldiers fell, and the defense line was quickly torn apart and destroyed.
Seeing the heroic Imperial soldiers being slaughtered like lambs, Kasahara Koizumi's eyes were cracked, and he said to Hiragakuo Yuuo: "Commander of the brigade, there are thousands of soldiers in these Eighth Route Army, and their firearms are much more powerful than ours. We have to The best thing to do is break out, otherwise, the fourth brigade will be destroyed here!"
Hirakawa Yongfu also woke up from a dream at this time. The Eighth Route New Regiment only sent a thousand people. It was a bait and was intended to provoke him.
When Hirakawa Yongfu was angry and raised troops, the large army formed a pocket formation, waiting for Hirakawa Yongfu to come and die.
Now, more than half of the more than a thousand imperial soldiers have been killed or injured, and the defense line has been severely suppressed and destroyed.
It may be impossible to break through.
But Isamu Hiragaku was unwilling to fail like this. The last time the Third Regiment was wiped out by the Eighth Route Shinichi Regiment.
Now, the entire fourth brigade must not be buried here.
Hiragakuo quickly reorganized his troops, rebuilt the defense line, and withstood the new regiment's attack.
"Give power to the 9th Brigade, power to the 14th Brigade, and ask them to assist us quickly!" Isamu Hiragaku shouted towards Kasahara Koizumi.
"Commander of the brigade, even if the Ninth Brigade and the Fourteenth Brigade add troops to help, it will take at least ten days for them to travel on two legs due to the heavy snow blocking the road." Kasahara Koizumi was very sad.
The illustrious Fourth Brigade is going to die here today. It is really unacceptable.
In ten days, when the Ninth Brigade and the Fourteenth Brigade arrived, they couldn't even collect the bodies of the Fourth Brigade.
"Give them power." Hiragakuo Yufu's tone was equally sad, "Don't you see, the intention of the new group is to set up an ambush to eliminate the effective forces of the 4th Brigade, and then loot the 4th Brigade's defense area, even if our 4th Brigade is destroyed We are determined not to let the Eighth Route New Group take away the supplies smoothly."
"Hai!" Kasahara Koizumi responded and immediately asked the radio soldiers to quickly generate electricity.
After the radio soldiers sent out the emergency call, the defense line reorganized by Hiragakuo was once again torn open, and the fourth brigade could no longer defend it.
"Destroy the radio station!" Kasahara Koizumi ordered the radio soldiers.
"Hai!" the radio soldier responded, took out a grenade and blew up the radio into a pile of scrap parts.
"Damn, this damn little devil, destroyed my radio station!" Li Yunlong discovered through the telescope that the radio soldiers of the Fourth Brigade had destroyed the radio station. He was so angry and distressed that he shouted: "Come on, chop it up for me." Fourth Brigade!”
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
…
Thousands of elite men from the new group shouted with overwhelming momentum.
The troops were like a tide, quickly approaching from all directions.
The Japanese soldiers in the fourth brigade were quickly cleared and their numbers were reduced sharply.
Kasahara Koizumi was beaten into a sieve by a machine gun. Before he died, his eyes were wide open and he could not rest in peace.
Hiragakuo Yongfu and the few Japanese soldiers were surrounded. Their ammunition was exhausted and they formed a circle with bayonets in hand, trying to mount a final desperate resistance.
"Who is Hirakata Yongfu? Stand up for me!" Li Yunlong shouted to the crowd of Japanese soldiers with a sword in hand.
Hiragaku Yongfu stood up, raised his knife and glared at Li Yunlong: "Who are you?"
"I am Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment." Li Yunlong looked at Hiragakuo Yongfu, "Hiraku Yongfu, I will give you a chance to keep the last honor of your bushido."
"If you want me to surrender, let's forget it." Hiragaku Yufu's eyes were blood red!
The Fourth Brigade was defeated by Li Yunlong, and he admitted it.
But it is impossible to persuade him to surrender!
"Don't you Bushido regard death as the highest destination? Don't you like to commit seppuku? There is no chance for you to escape. I will give you a chance. You all commit seppuku. After you die, I will bury you properly. You guys." Li Yunlong said.
"We would rather all die in battle!" Isamu Hiragaku shook his head, held the command knife tightly, and looked at Li Yunlong, "You challenge me to a one-on-one fight!"
"Come on, I've fought with you before. I haven't killed the leader of the Japs Brigade with my own hands yet." Li Yunlong spat into the palm of his hand and prepared to raise the knife.
"Captain, let me do it." Wei Dayong stretched out his hand and stopped Li Yunlong.
Wei Dayong still didn't understand that Pinglu Yongfu was deliberately provoking Li Yunlong.
If Li Yunlong really made any mistake, it was a serious dereliction of duty on his part as a security guard.
Li Yunlong paused and nodded.
Just like in the TV series "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong besieged the Japanese officers of the observation group. Facing the challenge of Hattori Naoomi, the commander of the 29th Brigade, Li Yunlong was ready to challenge. Wei Dayong wanted to replace Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong let Wei Dayong is on.
In the end, Hattori Naoomi died under Wei Dayong's gun.
