On the avenue east of Huting, a team of thousands of people was marching quickly.
This is the independent mixed fourth brigade of the Little Devils.
This brigade can be said to be the old enemy of the independent group.
The original Sakata Regiment belonged to this fourth brigade.
During the raid in Yunling, the Bantian Regiment inflicted a heavy blow on the independent regiment led by Kong Jie at that time, and all the political commissars died in the battle.
Later, there was a battle with Li Yunlong's new regiment in Cangyunling. In the end, Li Yunlong killed the coalition leader and took away the coalition flag.
This directly led to the Sakata Regiment becoming the only one in the Little Japanese Army that was deactivated due to the loss of the regiment flag in so many years.
He will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Japanese army.
As a result, the superiors of the Sakata Regiment were independently mixed into the Fourth Brigade. Naturally, they were also humiliated and thrown into my grandma's house. The future of the brigade leader Isamu Hiragakuo was ruined and he would never have the opportunity to be promoted again.
After the Sakata Regiment was abolished, only one regiment and one brigade headquarters were left in the independent mixed fourth brigade, and its strength became extremely weak.
Later, Shinozuka Kazuo removed some idle people from other troops, recruited some ronin in Jinyang City, organized them into a brigade, and filled them into the fourth brigade. In this way, the fourth brigade could barely survive. The rack of a brigade.
But there is no doubt that the Fourth Brigade, which currently has less than 6,000 people, can be said to be the softest persimmon among the Little Japanese Brigade in the land of Sanjin.
At this moment, the commander of the brigade, Major General Isamu Hiragaku, was sitting high on his horse and asked the commander of the brigade next to him, Colonel Gunpei Imamura:
"Imamura-kun, what is the origin of those two Tobali just now?"
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, judging from the identity documents on the Eighth Route Army soldiers we killed, they were the Special Agent Company of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."
Reported by Imamura Gunhei.
"Xinxi! 386th Brigade Independent Regiment?
Could it be the group that crushed the Yamazaki Brigade?
Is their leader's name 'Li Yunlong'? "
Hiragakuo Yongfu suddenly remembered this name, and his expression suddenly showed murderous intent.
This is the man who ruined his future!
He wished he could tear the other party into pieces!
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, you are right.
This independent regiment is the key target of our First Army!
General Shinozuka previously issued a notice, asking us to pay attention to this Li Yunlong. If we have the chance, we must kill this person and annihilate his independent regiment! "
Imamura Gunpei answered.
"吆西! Is this the same person who took away the flag of the Bantian Alliance in Cangyun Ridge and humiliated our fourth brigade?"
"yes!"
"Baga! We must catch these rats this time!
Imamura-kun, order the warriors to continue to speed up! Don't let them run away! "
"Hi!"
Imamura Gunpei quickly agreed and then hurried to make arrangements.
Originally, the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade were already running until their feet were smoking and they were panting. Now Imamura Gunpei wanted them to speed up, and everyone was suddenly filled with anger.
Everyone thinks: Baga! You bastard officers, you are comfortable sitting on the horse, but you make us walk faster, it is really infuriating!
If it weren't for the long-standing military orders and discipline that kept them from being reckless, I'm afraid they would have taken out their guns and shot Imamura Junpei.
…
On the other side of the secret service company, under Yang Yuanshan's loud urging, the soldiers took off their iron feet and ran towards the mountain.
Soon, they climbed over a hill and were temporarily out of the deterrent range of the Huting stronghold, making them a little safer.
At this time, someone from the front suddenly ran back in surprise and shouted:
"Company Commander! Company Commander!"
Yang Yuanshan took a look and saw that it was the cavalry platoon leader Li Youqiong shouting.
He immediately stepped out from the crowd and asked:
"Li Youqiong, what's wrong?
Didn't you ask your cavalry platoon to help the artillery pull back the cannon and artillery shells? "
"Company commander, it's the instructor and the villagers who came to support us."
Li Youqiong explained.
He really felt bad for using horse-drawn cannon and cannonballs.
Now that Xu Shaobai was leading many villagers, driving mule carts and donkey carts, he was naturally happy.
"They came so fast? That's great!"
When Yang Yuanshan asked Xu Shaobai to go back and mobilize the villagers to help carry the loot, he really didn't expect them to come back so soon.
He immediately felt very satisfied with Xu Shaobai's ability and attitude.
Thinking that the little devil would soon be chasing him, he immediately ordered:
"Li Youqiong, go to the front immediately and ask the soldiers who can still fight to hand over all the trophies to the villagers as much as possible, and then come back with basic guns and ammunition to gather. We have to stop the enemy."
"yes!"
Seeing Li Youqiong return quickly, Yang Yuanshan's originally worried heart finally relaxed a little.
There are 1,000 people in the special agent company. They fought continuously today. It is estimated that there are 300 or 400 people who were killed or injured and unable to continue fighting.
Then the remaining people who can fight are five to six hundred people.
If these people can gather together, find favorable terrain, use sufficient ammunition to block the enemy, and persist for two or three hours, it should not be a problem at all.
…
At this time, Li Dahe also rushed from the front and reported to Yang Yuanshan:
"Company Commander, the road three kilometers ahead is relatively narrow and suitable for blocking."
"Okay, take me to see it!"
Yang Yuanshan was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately ran forward with Li Dahe.
After a while, they came to the position that Li Dahe said was suitable for blocking.
I saw that because the mountains on both sides gathered here, the road between the two mountains suddenly tightened, and could only accommodate the width of two large vehicles, which was indeed suitable for sniping.
However, when Yang Yuanshan saw the mountain, he suddenly had an idea and thought that there might be no need to stop the enemy.
He immediately asked Li Dahe to call Han Yang and Wei Dayong for a face-to-face discussion.
Both of them were dubious about Yang Yuanshan's order, but they still resolutely carried out and prepared.
…
After the arrangements were made, Yang Yuanshan immediately informed the soldiers who were preparing to retreat to establish a blocking position that their mission was cancelled, and they could just help carry the loot and continue to retreat.
Li Yunlong came over from behind and asked him:
"Yang Yuanshan, why did you ask all the soldiers to withdraw? Didn't you want to set up a blocking position?"
"Captain, God help me, I don't think we need to stop them anymore."
Yang Yuanshan chuckled and pointed at the narrow mountain road ahead.
Li Yunlong took a closer look at the words and frowned slightly:
"You don't want to—"
Yang Yuanshan knew that Li Yunlong understood what he meant and nodded:
"That's right, Commander. Isn't it great that we can stop the Japs without sacrificing our soldiers?"
"Are you sure, kid?"
Although Li Yunlong likes to take risks, he does it more out of necessity.
Now, in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, Yang Yuanshan gave up the safe plan and chose this risky plan, which still made him hesitate.
"Captain, don't worry, I'm sure."
Yang Yuanshan patted his chest and promised.
But he was secretly thinking: Great strength can do wonders. As long as he doesn't begrudge the cannonballs, he should, probably, be able to succeed, right?
"Okay, then I'm waiting to see your show!"
Seeing how confident this guy was, Li Yunlong believed him.
Yang Yuanshan has repeatedly created possibilities from the impossible. Li Yunlong feels that this guy might really succeed this time!
