Chapter 218

1940, October.

In accordance with the operational deployment of the Eighth Route Headquarters, the departments of the Eighth Route Army simultaneously launched a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops in the enemy-occupied areas of the counties in North China.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army invested 105 regiments of combat troops, known as the "Hundred Regiments War", with a strength of more than [-] troops.

This battle turned the rear of the Japanese and puppet troops into chaos, and almost all lines of communication and communication were paralyzed.

The Hundred Regiments War was a large-scale offensive and anti-sweeping campaign launched by the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines in North China during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and it was also the longest battle...

During the period of the Hundred Regiments War, Li Yunlong was not idle for a single day.

He has repeatedly disobeyed orders, and has thrown himself into battle many times without receiving combat missions.

The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has grown stronger in battles and seized a large amount of weapons, equipment and supplies.

Not only that, Li Yunlong also coerced Lin Xiao and Chu Yunfei to fight together to expand the results of the battle against the enemy.

The three of them fought side by side, and the battle line stretched more than 100 kilometers away, rushing and fighting in the enemy-occupied area.

Lin Xiao and the others are indeed the famous Big Three in South Shanxi.

In less than a week, their troops pulled out dozens of Japanese and puppet army strongholds, recaptured several towns and towns, and wiped out thousands of Japanese and puppet troops.

After the various units of the Japanese Army in North China were attacked, the Japanese Army Command quickly made operational deployments to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese army in North China dispatched troops overnight and sent additional troops to fight with the Eighth Route Army.

The troops dispatched by the Japanese army consisted of two divisions, eleven brigades, eight regiments and a large number of puppet troops.

The Japanese army assembled combat troops and immediately launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army.

Under the instructions of the headquarters, the various units of the Japanese army divided their troops and approached the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army's base area in an attempt to form a situation of pincer attack from east to west.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army learned the enemy's combat intelligence. In order to avoid the enemy's edge, the various departments of the Eighth Route Army began to divide and transfer troops, and slowly transferred to the second stage of operations...

……

The Japanese mopping up troops were divided into multiple groups, and began to carry out retaliatory raids on the anti-Japanese base areas in North China.

The Japanese army's retaliatory sweep was even crazier and more brutal.

The devil commander ordered the troops to implement the three-light policy, killing people when they see them, burning houses when they see them, and looting or burning livestock and food when they see them...

The base of the Eighth Route Army, in the direction of Lijiapo.

An elite Japanese army penetrated through the mountains and entered the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base in a daze.

The Japanese soldiers marched quickly on the mountain road, and their number probably constituted a brigade.

The devils carried a large number of light and heavy weapons, grenades, heavy machine guns, and many mortars.

The real purpose of this Japanese army going deep into the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army was to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army and cooperate with the main force of the peripheral Japanese army to encircle all the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese officer who led the team was a lieutenant officer, he was a little fat, and his name was Yamazaki Zhihei.

This well-trained army of devils marching on the mountain road is Gou Ri's Yamazaki Brigade.

The Yamazaki Battalion belongs to the 29th Brigade, the 12th Regiment, and the 5th Infantry Battalion of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army.

At this time, Captain Yamazaki Zhihei hadn't realized that the troops were lost on the march.

Because the terrain of the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army is very complicated, there are mountains and mountains everywhere, and the terrain looks similar.

Enemies are unfamiliar with the environment, and it's normal for them to get lost.

The devils from the Yamazaki Brigade walked on the mountain road for an hour.

Devil commander Yamazaki Zhihei walked to the high ground beside the mountain road, and then raised his binoculars to observe the nearby terrain.

Through observation, Yamazaki Zhihei gradually realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the terrain coordinates.

Immediately, Yamazaki Zhihei put down the binoculars and called out a devil staff officer.

"The terrain around here looks a bit wrong. Where is our marching position now?"

Yamazaki Zhihei asked the staff officer of Captain Devil who ran over.

"Captain, I will immediately check the map to determine the marching position..."

After the devil's staff finished speaking, he took out a marching map and a compass.

He glanced around at the surrounding terrain and carefully compared it with the reference objects on the map.

The devil's staff looked at the surrounding terrain and compared it with the map, and his mind was a little confused.

The devil's staff put down the map in his hand and reported to Yamazaki Zhiping.

"Report to the captain, we are going the wrong way."

"Nani?!"

Yamazaki Zhihei glared at the devil's staff officer.

The devil's staff officer pointed to the map and said truthfully: "Sir, our team has deviated from the route on the map, at least sixty degrees to the north..."

Yamazaki Zhihei is a person with a bad temper and it is difficult to control his emotions.

When he heard that the marching route was wrong, he suddenly flew into a rage, and suddenly slapped the devil's staff captain on the face.

"Ba Ga Ya Lu, you idiot!"

The glasses on the eyes of the devil's staff were slapped a few meters away, and he was dizzy and almost fainted.

Yamazaki Zhihei turned around angrily, and ordered loudly: "Everyone stop moving forward!"

The ghost soldiers on the mountain road were forbidden. After hearing the order, they quickly stood by and stopped marching.

Although Yamazaki Zhihei is a violent person, he is not a stupid and reckless commander.

At the moment the team got lost and marched in the wrong direction, he did not order the troops to march again hastily.

Yamazaki Zhihei knew very well that it is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone, and the surrounding environment is too complicated, and if it fails, the entire army will be wiped out.
