Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

As a result, the Yamazaki Battalion deviated from the marching route because the map soldiers got the direction wrong, and accidentally walked to the vicinity of Yixiantian, and thus discovered the arsenal hidden by the Eighth Route Army inside Yixiantian.

Yamazaki was overjoyed.

He immediately commanded his troops to launch a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army's arsenal.

According to the original plan of the old devil Yamazaki, after going deep into the Eighth Route Army base, he would wait for an opportunity to find some high-value military targets, launch a sneak attack, and lure the main force of the Eighth Route Army into a decisive battle.

of course.

Yamazaki was self-aware. With only half a battalion of troops, he had to engage in a head-on confrontation with the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army would use human wave tactics, and a single spit from each member would probably be enough to completely drown Yamazaki's battalion.

Therefore, Yamazaki's plan from the beginning was to attract the anger of the main force of the Eighth Route Army and then choose a favorable terrain to hold his ground.

It is used to test the actual equipment level and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

The tactics of attacking from the middle were used in coordination with the reinforcements coming from all directions to completely destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

So far, everything has been going very smoothly.

The Yamazaki Battalion successfully launched a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army's arsenal.

Then they found the Lijiaopo Heights, which had a very unique terrain and was very suitable for defense.

The old Japanese soldier Yamazaki ingeniously built fortifications in the central area of ​​Lijiaopo Heights, turning the entire heights into a cruel slaughterhouse, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to fall into his trap.

After the battle begins.

Li Yunlong first asked someone to hold a loud speaker and shout at the Japanese soldiers on the Lijiaopo high ground.

What are you shouting about?

"You damned little devils, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are here and have surrounded you. If you know what's good for you, just surrender immediately. We in the Eighth Route Army will treat our prisoners well.

If you don't know what's good for you, I'm sorry, you will all die here today, and this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

It was learned that the attacking forces were the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

Yamazaki was actually quite surprised.

The Japanese army did a relatively comprehensive job of gathering intelligence on the Eighth Route Army. For example, the Japanese army had relevant intelligence on some of the Eighth Route Army's regular main regiments that were included in the National Army's combat sequence.

For example, the 386st and 771nd Regiments of the 772th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, two veteran main regiments.

According to the old devil Yamazaki's speculation, the main force of the Eighth Route Army should be the one attacking Lijiaopo.

Who would have thought that it was this independent regiment and the new second regiment.

Yamazaki shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of the numbers of these two combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army.

"They should be some black-household groups secretly developed by the Eighth Route Army, a mob that is not worthy of being on the stage."

Yamazaki said so, and couldn't help but show a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth.

The adjutant at the side suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "Sir, I have heard of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Not long ago, it seemed that this independent regiment wiped out our army's Namwon Battalion."

Yamazaki suddenly realized and remembered.

Before, he was still cursing the old Japanese devil Nanyuan for being stupid. The mighty Imperial Army field battalion was actually defeated by a mere regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"So this is the independent regiment in front of us?"

Yamazaki said, with a look of anticipation on his face, "I want to see how capable this Eighth Route Army 386th Brigade Independent Regiment is."

His words were full of confidence.

The Yamazaki Battalion at this time is completely different from the Nanyuan Battalion at the beginning.

The Yamazaki Battalion relied on the terrain of Lijiaopo to hold its ground.

Although the number of troops is small, with the unique terrain of Lijiaopo and sophisticated equipment, they can fully utilize their firepower advantage by defeating the larger force with the smaller one.

After entering the independent regiment's base, the Namwon Battalion mistakenly fell into the independent regiment's trap and was ambushed.

The artillery advantage was never fully utilized.

Therefore, the Namwon Battalion was tragically destroyed.

The old devil Yamazaki was confident that he could stop the attack of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment at Lijiaopo, even though the scouts he sent out discovered that thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers had already been deployed at the foot of the hill.

The entire Lijiaopo Highlands were surrounded.

"Zhang Dabiao, first arrange a company to launch a tentative attack. Just make it clear that none of our soldiers are allowed to show their heads casually. The Japanese's shooting skills are no joke, and we don't want to get into trouble.

Let's fire a few shots across the gentle slope to scare the Japanese first."

Li Yunlong gave the order.

Zhang Dabiao was an old subordinate whom he was used to. After becoming the commander of the New Second Regiment, Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao to return from Ding Wei's command in the New First Regiment.

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao took the order and made arrangements.

Upon learning that Li Yunlong was going to launch a tentative attack using conventional means, Commander Cheng at the side could not help but curl his lips and said, "I say, Lao Li, it is impossible to defeat the Yamazaki Battalion with this method, right?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Captain Chen and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Learn from the back!"

Under Li Yunlong's command, a company of more than 100 soldiers passed the gentle slope on the south side and gradually reached the ridge of Lijiaopo Heights.

The soldiers first used the grenade launchers they carried and fired several rounds of artillery fire at the central area of ​​Lijiaopo without aiming, relying on the artillery's estimates.

Then, the scouts in the front row quickly emerged from the ridgeline to observe the situation of the Japanese army.

As expected, the fire from the direction of the Japanese came crackling down. Fortunately, the soldiers retracted their heads back to the back of the ridge in time, thus narrowly avoiding the Japanese fire attack.

The Japanese army built defensive fortifications in the central area of ​​Lijiaopo Heights.

There was a large amount of machine gun fire locked onto the ridge area of ​​the gentle slope to the south.

After the relevant information was passed down.

Commander Cheng couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of fear in his voice: "It's exactly as Lao Kong guessed during the confrontation exercise. The Japanese broke their habit and built fortifications in the central area of ​​Lijiaopo Heights, and completely suppressed our attack with machine gun fire.

The gentle slope to the south is the only direction we can attack from. We cannot deploy too many troops at one time, so we can only continue to attack with the tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

If we continue to fight like this, the casualties will only increase, and it will be difficult to kill this group of devils."

Li Yunlong said: "Nonsense, this stupid fighting style is not my style.

The tactic of adding fuel to the fire is purely a suicide tactic. Given the firepower of the Japanese, let alone our two regiments, even if we bring our entire brigade over, I'm afraid we won't be able to consume all of the Japanese's ammunition.

Moreover, the Japanese have air support and can also airdrop ammunition at any time. We cannot do such a losing business."

Captain Cheng was silent.

I thought that the stupid fighting method that you, Li Yunlong, described was exactly the tactic I used in the simulated confrontation exercise!

So how does Li Yunlong plan to fight?

——When the exploratory attack was over, Li Yunlong first arranged for artillery to suppress the Japanese positions with firepower. During this period, soldiers holding shovels quickly reached the ridge through the gentle slope on the south side and began to dig and advance from the ridge area.

"Old Li, do you want to... close the attack and shorten the distance?"

Captain Cheng suddenly realized.
