Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 379 Breakthrough
Dongjing is on the north side of Shanguai, and it is the only place where the independent regiment must pass through the shortest path to escape from the encirclement.

So Li Yunlong is more like a breakout than a retreat.

However, Li Yunlong also had reasons for retreating when he said that he should retreat.

At this moment, it is not sure whether the devils are encircling the independent regiment. If they shout to break through, it may affect the morale of the army.

On the way, Li Yunlong urged the troops to hurry forward, hoping to pass through before the east was occupied by the enemy.

Because after passing Dongjing and going north, there will be another mountain range. When the time comes to drill into the mountains, it will be even more difficult for devils who are not familiar with the terrain to surround the independent group.

But unfortunately, when he ran into the woods only one mile away from Dongjing, there was a sudden burst of gunfire ahead.

As soon as Li Yunlong raised his hand, the troops dispersed and prepared for battle, and then several soldiers who had been killed came back from the front and reported: "Regimental Commander, the devils have occupied Dongjing and blocked all roads!"

"How many people are there?" Li Yunlong asked.

"There are about 300 people, two tanks and one armored vehicle!" The soldier replied.

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up: "Old Li, there are not many people, let's rush over!"

Zhao Gang's idea is that there are more than 2000 people in the independent group, and it should not be difficult to kill them from here.

As for tanks and armored vehicles, they can be dealt with with incendiary bombs.

Li Yunlong shook his head and replied: "No, don't look at the devils who only have more than 300 people in Dongjing. They are spreading their troops and using us as fish. Unless we can break through Dongjing Village in one battle, the devils will go beyond The more we fight, we won't be able to escape by then!"

Zhao Gang was silent for a while, feeling that what Li Yunlong said made sense.

Dongjing Village is a village with earthen walls and barriers. The devils may have planted mines and waited, so they can be penetrated in a short time.

"Then now..." Zhao Gang asked.

Li Yunlong hesitated for a while, then ordered: "Go east, let's compete with the devils to see who can go faster!"

Li Yunlong's idea is very simple, if the devil spreads a net in front of him, he must not drill into the center of the net.

Because of such a drill, the whole net was drawn towards the independent regiment.

If you want to fight the devils, you have to find the edge of the "net". If you fight there, the devils will be passive... The devils in other directions don't know whether to stay where they are or go for reinforcements.

Leaving the place to garrison means watching the independent regiment escape from the "net".

Going to the reinforcements, this impenetrable "net" will soon be full of loopholes.

Dongjing is the center of this net.

Li Yunlong led his troops to the east, looking for the edge of the net.

So, at the urging of Li Yunlong, the independent group ran a race against the devils on two parallel lines.

In this regard, the independent group has an inherent advantage.

On the one hand, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are used to trekking in the Luliang Mountain area, and they are familiar with the terrain.

On the other hand, the reconnaissance company has a multi-functional engineering shovel in its hands. No matter what the cliff is, it only needs to throw the engineering shovel up, and then leave a few ropes or even rope ladders for the large troops. It didn't take long to catch up devil.

It was only later that Wang Xuexin learned that the first advantage of the Eighth Route Army did not exist.

The reason is that the devils have long been prepared in this regard... After all, they are entering the mountains to fight the Eighth Route Army. Of course, they will choose some people who grew up in this area from the puppet army to lead the way.

Therefore, after more than an hour, the Eighth Route Army was actually only ahead with a slight advantage.

Li Yunlong whistled forward, and the monk wearing a straw hat turned back from the front.

"How far are we ahead of the devil?" Li Yunlong asked.

The monk looked into the distance and replied: "Just one mountain behind, it's not enough!"

Li Yunlong understood what the monk meant.

The mountain on the back side is just a hill with an altitude of more than 200 meters and a gentle slope. It takes more than ten minutes for the devils to climb over it.Moreover, the devil is likely to occupy a favorable terrain on the top of the mountain.

So according to common sense, we have to go further, throw the devils farther and break through.

But Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "It's too late! Go further east...the devils from the other side will come around!"

Although Li Yunlong has not read a book and does not have much ink in his stomach, his imagination is very rich.

Devils originally marched from east and west to encircle them at the same time. Their speed, position, and even their general changes were kept in his mind.

So he understood that this might be the only chance for the independent regiment to break through.

Continue to the east... The devil's two troops are about to successfully join forces and complete the encirclement.

Thinking of Li Yunlong, he stopped hesitating, waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone is there, use the fastest speed to pass through the mountain col ahead!"

"Yes!" All parts responded and changed directions to the north mountain depression.

The battle situation was more serious than imagined. The troops had just entered the mountain col when they heard a few gunshots, and then a few grenades exploded around the col... It was the devils shooting grenades, and then the machine guns rang out, and several regular soldiers The soldiers who passed through the col immediately fell into a pool of blood.

"Incendiary bomb!" Li Yunlong ordered loudly: "The covering troops pass!"

This was originally the best place to use incendiary bombs, because the devils were hiding in the grass on the top of the hill, and a dozen incendiary bombs could burn the place into a sea of ​​flames.

But the actual effect was not ideal. The reason was that the devils had exceeded the range of the [-] small cannon at high places, and they couldn't get a few incendiary bombs.

This is actually what the devil did on purpose.

The devils came with two squadrons, a total of more than 600 people, and the commander was Major Nomura Naoka.

Nomura Naoka was an engineer before joining the army. Three years ago, she gave up her job and her generous salary to join the army.

The reason why Nomura Naoka was able to become a major in just three years was that he discovered that a lot of knowledge he had learned as an engineer before could be used on the battlefield.

For example, now, he can easily calculate where his grenade can hit the enemy but the enemy's small artillery can't hit him.

Naoka Nomura watched with satisfaction as several incendiary bombs exploded tens of meters ahead, and at the same time, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"The Eighth Route Army actually has this kind of weapon?" Nomura Naoka said in surprise, "The incendiary bombs fired by artillery shells are beyond the reach of the empire!"

At the same time, I secretly rejoiced that if I hadn't arranged it properly, everyone who was ambushing here would be reduced to ashes.

After thinking for a while, Nomura Naoka ordered: "Strengthen the firepower and keep the enemy out of range!"

"Yes!" The subordinate responded.

Obviously, once the enemy is within range, only one such incendiary bomb is needed to ignite the withered grass here.

Then Naoka Nomura added: "Give power to the Imai Brigade and let them move towards here immediately!"
