Chapter 1 Taking Over the Arsenal

The arsenal of the Eighth Route Army border area was attacked by the Japanese Yamazaki Brigade, and the director of the arsenal died while directing the emergency transfer of equipment.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters urgently dispatched soldiers to besiege the First Mixed Brigade of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, commonly known as the Yamazaki Brigade, in Lijiapo.

The terrain of Lijiapo is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is a hill surrounded by mountains, with cliffs on the north and steep slopes on the east and west sides. Only the slope on the south is relatively gentle, and the gentleness is only compared with the slopes on the east and west sides.

A boulder protruded from the south slope, reducing the already narrow attacking position by more than half, and the remaining width was only about three or four meters wide, which made it more difficult for the Eighth Route Army to attack.

The 386nd Regiment of the 772th Brigade attacked for eight hours in a row. Although it caused a lot of casualties to the Yamazaki Brigade, it still failed to attack the defensive position of the Yamazaki Brigade.

Seeing that more than half of the 772 regiment's casualties were approaching, the head of the headquarters could only replace people and continue the attack, which was bound to wipe out the devil who raided into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army.

It was the independent regiment of the 386th brigade who continued to attack. The head of the regiment was Li Yunlong.

After receiving the order to take over the attack, the independent regiment quickly handed over the position with the 772 regiment. Taking advantage of the time of handover, the independent regiment leader Li found the 772 regiment leader Cheng to understand the specific situation.

Then quickly make a combat plan based on the terrain of Lijiapo.

First of all, the bottom of the slope was about 100 meters away from the top of the slope. Commander Li ordered the troops to dig tunnels to covertly approach the defensive position of the Yamazaki Brigade.

The tunnel crossed the giant stone gorge, approached the defensive position of the Yamazaki Brigade, and spread out to both sides, so that the soldiers could attack together.

After the tunnel was opened, soldiers were dispatched to bring grenades and throw them directly at the defensive position of the Yamazaki Brigade.

When the Independent Regiment was digging the tunnel, the Yamazaki Battalion tried to use artillery, and the infantry charge did not pose a threat to the Independent Regiment.

Among them, the shelling was because the eight-hour attack of the 772 regiment made the ammunition of the Yamazaki Brigade insufficient, and they dared not use it on a large scale.Secondly, as long as the tunnel is narrow and the shells do not fall directly into the tunnel, they will not be able to harm the soldiers inside.

The captain of the Yamazaki Brigade tried to use infantry to charge once, but was blown back by the bombardment ordered by the 386 brigade commander.

It was also because the casualties caused by the eight-hour attack of the 772 regiment were too great, so they didn't dare to order a charge anymore, and could only watch the soldiers of the independent regiment shrink the attack distance little by little.

When the tunnel was 20 meters away from the Yamazaki Brigade, it began to widen to both sides to form a trench.

After the trenches were dug, the head of the independent regiment ordered the assault company to quickly arrive at the designated location and wait for his signal flare.

After the leader of the independent regiment saw the last commando arrive at the position under the telescope, he took out the flare gun and sent a signal to the sky.

After seeing the signal, the soldiers of the assault company threw all the grenades in their hands towards the fortifications of the Yamazaki Brigade as quickly as possible.

Everyone in the assault company had ten grenades in their hands. After throwing all of them, the Yamazaki Brigade was hit hard again, and because the attack distance was shortened, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment also took the opportunity to attack the Yamazaki Brigade's position and started hand-to-hand combat.

The battle lasted 15 hours and ended with the annihilation of the Yamazaki Brigade.

The annihilation of the Yamazaki Brigade also made the Japanese army declare bankruptcy with its central flowering plan.

After the Yamazaki Brigade was wiped out, the various departments of the Eighth Route Army quickly moved away from the battle.

Three days later, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"Zhao Gan, you are now appointed as the director of the arsenal in the border area.

You are fully responsible for all affairs of the arsenal, and the first thing to do is to resume production as soon as possible.

And the arsenal will set up a guard, and the personnel will be in place after you succeed. "

"Yes!"
