People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 24

Eguchi Hachiro, who is currently in command of the third wing, obviously has a strong command ability.

The Inoue brigade has been strengthened in all aspects. Although there are only more than 700 people, their overall weapon configuration is very strong.

There are more than 30 light and heavy machine guns, more than 20 grenade launchers, and there are also three rapid-fire guns and two infantry guns to support operations.

These troops advanced towards the new regiment on the flank of the battlefield, which was a fatal threat to Li Yunlong.

The [-] or so troops of the New First Regiment went all out to encircle and annihilate the Ono Squadron, completely occupying an absolute advantage.

Ohno Squadron suffered dozens of casualties and was almost wiped out.

But they have not many soldiers left, and they continue to contain the new regiment.

This made it impossible for the new regiment to concentrate all its forces to deal with the Japanese reinforcements. Once the Inoue brigade came over, the new regiment would be a greater threat.

After all, as long as the Inoue brigade launches a fierce fire attack, it can bring heavy losses to the Xinyi regiment.

Li Yunlong got the report soon, and when he knew that more than 700 Japanese soldiers rushed to help with heavy weapons, he had a solemn expression on his face.

"Hey hey, I haven't eaten this appetizer yet, the main course is delivered to my door."

"Did you see, the little devil is determined to support me to death!"

"But it doesn't matter, our old Li just has a good appetite, eat the appetizer and the main course together!"

Li Yunlong soon showed a smile, and shouted to his soldiers at the top of his voice.

The cadres and soldiers of the new regiment saw Li Yunlong so calm, and their morale was high.

Immediately afterwards, about 300 troops from Zhang Dabiao's [-]st Battalion went all out to encircle and wipe out the remnants of Daye Squadron.

Li Yunlong personally commanded the second battalion, the third battalion and the troops directly under the regiment, and quickly built a blocking position, preparing to face the Inoue brigade.

Of course, Lao Li personally found Zhang Dabiao and asked his first battalion to make a quick decision.

After all, there were more than 700 people in the Inoue brigade, and they were not soft persimmons. The main force of the new group directly confronted them head-on, and had no advantage at all.

"Regiment leader, don't worry, we will cut off the heads of these bastards, and we will join the main force of the regiment immediately!"

Zhang Dabiao got the order, looked at the remnants of Ono Squadron who were still stubborn, and said angrily.

Ohno Squadron used to serve as the flag guard squadron of the [-]rd Wing, and they were able to take on such a heavy responsibility because they had the strongest combat effectiveness among all the squadrons.

The Xinyi Regiment hit a hard nail this time and was unable to wipe it out quickly.

Of course, it was also fortunate that the Xinyi Regiment made a move, otherwise Ohno Squadron would attack the 358th Regiment's right position from the flank, and the consequences would be disastrous.

The new regiment was quickly mobilized, and more than 600 troops from the second and third battalions quickly assembled towards the designated area and deployed defensive positions.

Zhang Dabiao, who was furious, commanded the first battalion with a big knife to encircle and wipe out the remnants of Daye Squadron.

Not long after, the Inoue brigade advanced to the vicinity of the battlefield and began to exchange fire with the main force of the new regiment.

The First Battalion of the Third Wing fought the Xinyi Regiment one after another at Cangyun Ridge before, but at that time the First Battalion did not have so many weapons to support them.

Moreover, the Ono Squadron under the First Brigade, which was in charge of guarding the flag, did not participate in the battle, so the Xinyi Regiment took the absolute initiative.

The situation is completely different now. The main force of the regiment commanded by Li Yunlong is more than 600 people. They have no advantages in terrain, strength or weapons.

When Eguchi Hachiro was deploying, he learned the previous lessons. He guided the operations of the Inoue Brigade in detail.

So after this group of little devils encountered the new group, they did not rush to attack.

Three rapid-fire guns and two infantry guns took the lead in establishing artillery positions.

Without saying a word, the five cannons fired grenades directly at the new formation.

A round of grenades continued to hit the position, and explosions sounded one after another.

The new regiment built a simple position, which was directly destroyed by such intensive shelling, and some soldiers suffered casualties.

With the help of shelling cover, more than 500 little devils quickly opened the skirmish line and advanced.

Type [-] heavy machine guns, light machine guns with crooked handles, and grenade launchers were placed in different positions to immediately build cover firepower points.

Groups of riflemen alternately covered and advanced, and a large number of Japanese troops rushed towards the new group of positions like a flood that broke the dam.

"Regimental Commander, the mortars can't reach the little devil's artillery. If you want to hit their artillery, you have to advance at least 1000 meters!"

Wang Chengzhu, the platoon leader of the artillery platoon, was so anxious that his face was sweating, he shouted at Li Yunlong.

The artillery platoon of the new regiment has a 60MM mortar with a range of about 1000 meters.

The other two grenades have a range of about 500 meters.

However, the Japanese Type 800 infantry artillery has a range of 4000 meters; the Type [-] rapid-fire gun has a range of nearly [-] meters.

At this time, they built a position 2000 meters away from the new regiment's position, and directly carried out long-distance bombardment.

Although Wang Chengzhu is a sharpshooter, he can't hit the distance, and he has nothing to do.

Li Yunlong raised his binoculars to observe. Now let alone advance 1000 meters, even advance 500 meters, they can't do it.

After all, a large number of light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army have been erected. If the new regiment leaves the position, it will be a living target for the little devils.

Li Yunlong intends to repeat the old tricks and deal with the little devil according to the old routine.

Wait until the Japanese infantry advance to the front of the position, shoot directly, and then rush over to start hand-to-hand combat.

As long as the troops of the two sides fight together, all the heavy weapons of the Japanese army will naturally have no way to start shooting.

However, the little devil is not stupid, Eguchi Hachiro has learned the lessons of the Cangyunling battle.

According to Eguchi Hachiro's combat guidance, Inoue Shaozuo stopped advancing when all his ministries advanced about 300 meters away from the position.

Immediately afterwards, the little devil concentrated three rapid-fire guns, two infantry guns, and 27 grenade launchers, and bombarded the position of the second battalion of the new regiment.

One after another, the grenade landed on the second battalion's position. In an instant, the second battalion's position began to be covered by gunpowder smoke.

The improvised position they built was destroyed, the soldiers lost their bunkers and paid casualties.

It was at this time that more than 100 little devil riflemen quickly advanced towards the second battalion position.

They were in groups of four, leaping alternately between each group, getting closer and closer to the second battalion position.

At this time, the Second Battalion was still under shelling. If these more than 100 little devils came to the position, the consequences would be disastrous.

The commander of the third battalion gave the order to shoot, but not long after the firepower on their side was exposed, they were shot by Japanese light and heavy machine guns.

More than 30 light and heavy machine guns fired at different positions, and the 6.5MM and 7.7MM bullets came one after another.

In just such a short period of time, the main casualties of the new regiment had dozens of people!
Li Yunlong raised his binoculars with a solemn face. He knew that if the fight continued like this, his troops would suffer heavy losses!
