Check in from the bright sword

Miyano Michi pointed to the map of Shanxi with one hand, and said to Okamura Ningji: "Your Excellency, Commander, please see that the 37th Division has built a tight blockade between Jinyuan and Jiancaoping on the west bank of the Fen River."

"The 41st Division has also established a blockade between Xiaodian and Yuci."

"Although the 3rd Brigade has suffered heavy losses, it is still on guard between Yuci and Shouyang."

"The 26th Division has also spread out to the two wings in Yangqu County, and will soon be able to join the 37th Division."

"So far, there is only a gap between the 26th Division and the 8th Brigade in the northeast."

"However, the 110th Infantry Brigade, which belongs to the 108th Division, is rushing towards Xiyan Town and Lingjingdian."

"So, even if the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army breaks through from the northeast, it will collide head-on with the 108th Infantry Brigade."

"That is to say, so far, the main regiments of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, which are still in the encirclement, are already hard to fly."

"It's a pity that the brigade headquarters of the 386th brigade has escaped early."

Neiji Okamura said: "It is enough to wipe out a few main regiments of the 386th Brigade. The 386th Brigade can be said to have the strongest combat effectiveness among the troops of the Eighth Route Army."

"The reason why the combat effectiveness of the 386 brigade is strong is mainly because there are several main regiments."

"Especially the new regiment and the independent regiment. These two main regiments are extremely powerful."

"As long as these two main regiments are wiped out, the 386th Brigade will be nothing to worry about."

Miyano Michiichi nodded slightly, and said: "This goal should be achieved."

While the two were talking, Tsuneo Nishino, the communications staff officer, hurried in: "Your Excellency, the aviation scouts have reported that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has arrived in Yuci!"

"Nani? Are you in Yuci?"

Miyano Michi was taken aback when he heard the words.

Neiji Okamura also frowned.

This is a little different from what they expected.

It stands to reason that if the Independence Regiment only feigned a shot, after getting rid of the remnants of the 3rd Brigade, it should flee to the northeast or southeast in the mountains, and it will definitely not continue to fight west to Yuci!

Because Yuci is too close to Taiyuan, this is almost back to the center of the encirclement!

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Miyano said, "Could it be that the Independence Regiment really plans to return to Taiyuan?"

Okamura Neiji's brows became more and more tight, and now he didn't dare to speak too much.

Because of various signs and expressions, the commander of the independent regiment is a bold and crazy guy with a very adventurous spirit. Maybe this guy really dares to defend Taiyuan with a regiment of troops!

But, what is the purpose of doing this?

Yuci.

Now guarding Yuci is an infantry brigade of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army.

The blockade strategy adopted by the Japanese army is a dotted line, specifically placing an infantry brigade every eight kilometers or ten kilometers, and placing a small squad every one kilometer between the two brigades.

In this way, when encountering the Eighth Route Army with a platoon size, the infantry squad is sufficient to deal with it.

If you encounter troops above the Eighth Route Army Battalion, or a company with particularly strong combat effectiveness, the supporting infantry brigade can send out one or two squadrons for timely reinforcements.

If the strength is sufficient, mobile squadrons can also be set up on the periphery.

When the Eighth Route Army breaks through the blockade by chance, the mobile squadron will intercept and kill them in time!

Yuci County happened to be one of the support points, and an infantry brigade of the 41st Division was fortified!

The independent regiment rushed back to Yuci aggressively, just in time to collide head-on with the infantry brigade of the 41st Division, and immediately launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

It's just that the offensive and defensive momentum has dropped.

Now the independent regiment is aggressively attacking, and the devils are defending desperately.

"Zhuzi!" Li Yunlong said to Yu Chengzhu who had just arrived and was still panting, "How about it, find a way to shoot him?"

Yu Chengzhu turned his head and waved, and the two artillerymen carried the artillery team over and set it up again.

After observing the artillery team for a while, Yu Chengzhu nodded and said: "The distance is less than 3000 meters, and the 82 mortars are within reach, but the commander, there are only [-] shells left."

"What did you say?" Li Yunlong immediately scolded with his eyes wide open, "You prodigal bastard, there are more than 2000 shells in total, and there are only [-] shells left?"

"Regimental Commander, you have to speak according to your conscience." Yu Chengzhu said with a bitter face, "When you assaulted the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade last time, you personally said that you would shoot all the shells without leaving a single shot! "

"Only these sixty shells were left on my own initiative."

"You bastard, how dare you talk back? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" Li Yunlong slapped you big after finishing speaking.

Yu Chengzhu shrank his neck and remained silent, because he knew that the head of the regiment really dared to hit people, and it was not that he had never hit people before, and it was only after the political commissar came that he stopped beating people easily.

However, Li Yunlong's slap was not slapped down after all. Instead, he changed into a smiling face: "Zhuzi, think about it, how to use these sixty rounds to kill the devil's heavy machine gun position, and I will buy you a drink."

Yu Chengzhu said: "If you make a feint attack on the two wings to fully expose the devil's machine gun firepower, that's fine!"

Li Yunlong turned his head and said to Wang Huaibao: "Commander of the 3rd Battalion, you sent two companies from the 3rd Battalion to outflank the two wings. You must force the devils to fully expose the firepower of the machine guns!"

"Yes!" Wang Huaibao immediately turned around and shouted, "1st company goes to the left wing, 3rd company outflanks the right wing, go!"

The two companies of the 3rd Battalion immediately launched a feint attack. Although it was a feint attack, the offensive was extremely fierce.

Because the current independent regiment is not only well equipped, but also has high tactical literacy. After all, they are all experienced veterans.

In a blink of an eye, the two companies had already approached the devil's position, and with a sudden attack of firepower, the devil's infantry firepower was immediately suppressed.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the hidden heavy machine gun fire quickly opened fire.

In the twilight, eight 8-type heavy machine guns fired violently, and eight dazzling tongues of flame spurted over violently, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were rushing forward fell to the ground one after another.

In the next second, with the screaming sound of shells, rows of shells had already landed on the devil's heavy machine gun position.

In the violent explosion, the devil's 8 Type [-] heavy machine guns soon stopped working. Li Yunlong jumped up, took the submachine gun from Niudan, held the trigger and fired in a long burst.

Then he shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with me!"

The soldiers of the independent regiment who were lying on the ground jumped up one after another, and followed Li Yunlong to charge.

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the 4th Battalion, rushed forward with one stride, blocking Li Yunlong behind him.

Just as he was charging, he suddenly heard a squeaking sound above his head. It was a shell!

Li Yunlong yelled immediately: "Come on, go up, get mixed up with the devils, go!"
