Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Having made up his mind, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately ordered the communications department to contact the reinforcements from all parties and inquire about the specific progress of each force.

It is not just to reinforce the Yamazaki Battalion trapped on the Lijiaopo Heights.

We must completely wipe out this damn Eighth Route Army 386th Brigade Independent Regiment.

To relieve the hatred in my heart.

After the Communications Department quickly contacted the various reinforcement headquarters, the news was reported to Shinozuka Yoshio: "Report to the commander, according to intelligence, the closest to the Yamazaki Battalion is the 4th Brigade advancing from the Yangquan direction.

However, if we consider the shortest straight-line distance, it is the 113th Regiment advancing in the direction of Shouyang. If the 113th Regiment can directly penetrate the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, it will be the best shortcut to Lijiapo and reinforce the Yamazaki Battalion. "

"The base of the independent regiment?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes suddenly lit up. He was determined to destroy the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, and naturally he also wanted to completely destroy the anti-Japanese revolutionary base behind enemy lines that the Independent Regiment had opened up in Shouyang area.

and……

Judging from the current situation.

The chief of staff of the First Japanese Army analyzed: "General, according to the information fed back by the Yamazaki Battalion, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the main force of the New Second Regiment have surrounded the entire Lijiapo Highland.

The Eighth Route Army launched a very powerful artillery attack, including four Type 92 infantry guns that our army had lost.

The main combat force of this Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is most likely near Lijiaopo.

So does this mean that at this moment, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment base is in a state of lack of defensive forces?"

"If the 113th Regiment takes advantage of this opportunity and suddenly launches a fierce attack on the Independent Regiment's base, can it completely wipe out the Independent Regiment's base?"

Although it is common sense that the Japanese troops coming to reinforce Lijiaopo would naturally avoid fighting with the Eighth Route Army blocking troops en route, in order to reach Lijiaopo in the shortest possible time.

But if the Japanese 113th Regiment can break through the independent regiment’s base in a short period of time.

You can take a shortcut directly from the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment to the Lijiaopo Heights.

The idea is indeed tempting.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka did not agree immediately as he had some concerns.

After all, not long ago, the Japanese Army's Nanyuan Battalion was wiped out after entering the base of the Eighth Route Army's Independent Regiment because of its excessive arrogance.

Even before everyone died, not even a single message could be delivered.

So, is the information that the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment's base is short of defensive forces and the main force of the Independent Regiment is currently on the Lijiaopo Heights true or false?

What if the 113th Regiment was ambushed after entering the independent regiment’s base?

So what?

However, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was worried about this, did not express his concerns.

Without him.

This was truly a shame for the Japanese army.

The 113th Regiment, a mighty Japanese field regiment, wanted to pass through the Eighth Route Army's defense zone, but it had to consider the threat of just one regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

Time continued to pass as Yoshio Shinozuka hesitated.

News about the battle of Lijiaopo kept coming in.

"The Eighth Route Army is working closely, and the fortifications they have dug are almost approaching the defensive fortifications built by the Yamazaki Battalion in the central area of ​​Lijiapo Highland."

"Air firepower reinforcements were blocked, and the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment hid a considerable amount of anti-aircraft firepower."

"The Yamazaki Battalion is in danger. If reinforcements don't arrive, it will be in danger of being destroyed."

at the same time.

The various Japanese reinforcements that were approaching Lijiaopo from other directions were blocked by the Eighth Route Army's reinforcement troops one after another. During this period, the Eighth Route Army's 771st Regiment and 772nd Regiment - Commander Cheng also arranged part of the 772nd Regiment's troops to attack, and the numbers of the main combat regiments such as the 772th Regiment were all exposed.

After analysis, the Japanese intelligence department confirmed:

The major main regiments of the Eighth Route Army's Taihang Base have basically come out in full force.

The Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment are currently attacking Lijiaopo and besieging the Yamazaki Battalion.

The situation is extremely urgent.

The Yamazaki Battalion was in danger of being destroyed, and the old devil Yamazaki contacted the headquarters again and again, requesting urgent reinforcements.

Not long after, Kurofuji, the commander of the 113th Regiment, who also received Yamazaki's call for help, personally applied to Shinozuka Yoshio in the communication for a plan to advance towards the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

Hei Teng said arrogantly: "Let's not talk about the intelligence. The main force of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is currently near Lijiapo.

Even if the main force of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is still in the base area, our 113th Regiment is confident that we can completely penetrate the base area of ​​the Independent Regiment. "

In this regard, Yoshio Shinozuka was still a little hesitant. He always felt that there was something strange about this matter.

But the situation is urgent. At present, the 113th Regiment is the fastest to arrive at Lijiaopo Heights to reinforce the Yamazaki Battalion.

The Japanese Chief of Staff also comforted him: "General, don't worry, according to the intelligence, the main force of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is probably not in the base area.

Even if their main force is within the base.

Hei Tengjun simply led the main force of the regiment to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line and take a shortcut to Lijiaopo.

A decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment could have been completely avoided.

Even if we cannot completely destroy the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, we can still easily break through the Eighth Route Army's interception and reinforce the Yamazaki Battalion."

Just a small independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"Even if I don't know what means they used to destroy our Nanyuan Battalion, I don't believe that they can wipe out our entire field regiment!"

"吆西!"

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and finally let go.

The mighty Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan actually hesitated because of the threat of a mere regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the Japanese First Army, suddenly felt very ashamed.

Without further hesitation, he issued an order: "Immediately order the 113th Regiment to break through the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment's defense zone as quickly as possible and reinforce the Yamazaki Battalion!"

"Hi!"

……

The battle on Lijiaopo Hill intensified. The Japanese soldiers hiding in the central fortifications of the hill went crazy and used gunfire and artillery fire to try to stop the Eighth Route Army from carrying out earthwork and digging forward.

The Eighth Route Army used artillery fire to cover the soldiers' earthwork work.

As dust flew, the passage became longer and longer as the shovels were swung, gradually approaching the Japanese fortifications.

And just a few minutes ago, the old devil Yamazaki had received a reply from the headquarters.

It means that the Japanese Army's 113th Regiment, the Kurofuji Regiment, has changed direction and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. If the operation goes smoothly, a shortcut to the Lijiaopo Heights can be opened directly.

Within two hours, we arrived at Lijiaopo Plateau.

Yamazaki was overjoyed, shouting "Long live!" and ordered his soldiers to defend desperately until reinforcements arrived...
