In mid-November 1941, the devils launched a retaliatory sweep of the base area, and for this sweep, the devils concentrated a number of brigades and regiments, with a large number of puppet troops, and pounced on the base area with great momentum.

In the face of the aggressive trend of the devils, the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the new 1st and new 2nd regiments had to be transferred.

On November 23, the devil discovered the whereabouts of the Independent Regiment and made an unimaginable move:

They spared the rest of the Eighth Route Army, concentrated 1 infantry wing, 1 cavalry wing, and a puppet mixed brigade, and surrounded the independent regiments.

Independent regimental headquarters.

Li Yunlong, who has only been a rich man for a few days, after listening to the reconnaissance information compiled by Zheng Yingqi, he threw his hat on the kang in a fit of anger and scolded: "Damn, the little devil really looks up to Lao Tzu!" Two wings plus a mixed brigade really treat Lao Tzu as a dish! ”

The Japanese army that surrounded the independent regiment this time was the 13th Infantry Wing, and the full Devil Infantry Wing had a strength of nearly 4,000 people, and the Devil's Cavalry Wing was directly under the division, with a scale of about 1,400 people, which was already more than 5,000 people, and the fifth mixed brigade of the puppet army was also one of the few troops with field combat capabilities among the two devils, and the entire Fifth Mixed Brigade numbered more than 5,000 people, that is, an independent regiment with only 2,000 people, and was surrounded by 10,000 Japanese puppet troops in a radius of only 300 kilometers.

Zheng Yingqi ignored Li Yunlong's suffocation, and continued to report: "The devils may increase their troops, Qin Feng sent someone to tell me when he left in Lijiazhen, saying that his people detected that there was also a devil wing rushing here. ”

"Dog's day little devil!" Li Yunlong scolded and scolded: "What a look up to Lao Tzu!" ”

Xing Zhiguo, the deputy head of the regiment, persuaded: "Commander, now is not the time to be angry, what should we do?" ”

Li Yunlong gathered his thoughts and asked, "Are Ding Wei and Kong Jie safe?" ”

"They got away from the devil yesterday afternoon, 16 hours, enough time for them to distance themselves from the devil." Zheng Yingqi replied.

"Looks like the brigade headquarters is safe." Li Yunlong said thoughtfully: "Then it's time for us to prepare to break through, and we can't let the little devils improve the encirclement." ”

Zhao Gang interjected: "How to break through? Our regiment has 2,000 people, the target is too big, and the devil also has the Black Island Cavalry Wing, which is targeted by them, and it is not easy to get rid of it. ”

"Gotta disperse and break out! The whole regiment broke through with the battalion as a unit, and the cavalry company, reconnaissance company, and regimental headquarters guard company acted together, and the machine gun company was dispersed to each battalion to make up for the breakthrough firepower of each battalion. ”

"What about the artillery battery?" Xing Zhiguo asked.

Li Yunlong shuddered in distress and scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu finally pulled up a full artillery company, and now it has to be broken up again, so divide the artillery company into various battalions." The regimental headquarters has a reconnaissance company and a cavalry company, plus the regimental headquarters security personnel and guard company, which can be regarded as a reinforced battalion. ”

Zhao Gang said without hesitation: "Okay, the troops under our regiment have strong combat effectiveness and more firepower, and it is easier to attract devils, so it is okay for each battalion to break through first." ”

Xing Zhiguo had no objection.

"Then let's do it!" Li Yunlong waved his hand: "I want to pinch Lao Tzu as a soft persimmon, okay, Lao Tzu will see if the devil has such a good tooth mouth." ”

Li Yunlong's order was issued to the three battalions below, and the three battalions, which had long been ready to break through, immediately began to receive units of the machine gun company and mortar company, although it was not a happy thing to break through soon, but the three battalion commanders could not help but smile when they saw the soldiers of the machine gun company and the artillery company merging under their command.

Only the company commanders of the machine gun company and the artillery company, pulling a company, cursed the little devils from afar, if it weren't for the little devils to make trouble, how could their soldiers be torn apart?

A large number of soldiers of the reconnaissance company reconnoitred the surrounding situation, and after summing up, Zheng Yingqi analyzed them one by one and reported them to Li Yunlong, who believed very much in Zheng Yingqi's intelligence identification and judgment ability, and on this basis, he chose a breakthrough for each battalion.

At the last military meeting of the regimental headquarters before the breakthrough, after Li Yunlong announced the breakthrough routes of each battalion, Zhang Dabiao said with questions: "Regiment commander, our three battalions broke through from these three directions, what about the regimental headquarters?" ”

Li Yunlong reprimanded: "The regimental headquarters of the young mother, immediately break through after dark, and move to the mountains after breaking through, and after the devil is finished this sweep, he will follow the orders of his superiors, take the battalion or company as a unit, disperse the activities, and in the future, the regiment headquarters will be active in the area of Zhaojiayu, Lijiagou and Panjiaya, and if you want to find Lao Tzu, you will send people to these three places." ”

Zhang Dabiao really knew Li Yunlong too well, he frowned and said, "Commander, don't you want to break off again?" After the break, I will leave the matter to our 2nd battalion, and the regimental headquarters will break through from our side. ”

"Are you the head of the regiment or is Lao Tzu the head of the regiment?" Li Yunlong glared at Zhang Dabiao: "Lao Tzu has a cavalry company, a reconnaissance company, a guard company, an engineer company, and a unit directly under the regiment headquarters, which add up to a reinforced battalion, do you want to break the queen for Lao Tzu?" That's it! At 10 p.m., Breakout! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong stood up, looked around at the participants in the humble conference room, and said, "Listen to Lao Tzu!" ”

"There is no encirclement in the world that cannot be broken! Lao Tzu doesn't want to fight it as a breakout battle! When what? When attacking! Attack the enemy in front of us! Do you have the guts? ”

"Yes!"

The battalion commanders and company commanders who attended the meeting replied loudly.

"Remember, even if there is only one person left in the whole regiment, then continue to attack! Die, and fall on the way to attack! Li Yunlong said murderously: "Sharpen the bayonet for me, and push the bullet for me!" The little devil can afford Lao Tzu, and he will deal with Lao Tzu with heavy troops, and Lao Tzu wants to let the little devil know that you still fucking see Lao Tzu clearly! The independent regiment is the most capable of fighting, even if you come to surround tens of thousands of people, we can still break through its encirclement! ”

Zheng Yingqi looked at the murderous Li Yunlong, full of admiration This is his own leader, even if it is a breakthrough, even if the enemy is outnumbered, he still has the courage to "fight", even in the face of the most dangerous situation, he still dares to show his sword like a peerless swordsman!

Then Zhao Gang carried out a pre-war mobilization, don't look at Zhao Gang's politeness, but when he shouted out that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, the company commanders and battalion commanders who participated in the meeting were already enthusiastic.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the first three battalions to break through began to break through, and when the devil saw that the independent regiment was going to break through, he urged the rest of the troops to march from behind overnight, trying to seal the breakthrough troops, but he didn't expect that in Wangjia Village, he was blocked.

The devil hurriedly changed his deployment, while attacking Wangjia Village overnight, while shrinking his forces, trying to intercept the three battalions that broke through, but the darkness was not conducive to the cavalry's march and operation, and the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Heidao Wing were useless, plus the troops of the Eighth Route Army who broke through were mainly facing the area defended by the Fifth Mixed Brigade, and after the devils bypassed Wangjia Village, the three battalions had already protruded from three directions.

In the two-hour breakout battle, the three battalions of the Independent Regiment lost more than 400 soldiers, but they finally broke out of the encirclement before the devils closed together.

Zheng Yingqi returned to Wangjia Village with the news that the three battalions were out of the encirclement, but he also brought back bad news that after the three battalions broke through, the devil sent troops to chase and kill, and at the same time surrounded Wangjia Village overnight.

"It's good to stand out," Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news that Zheng Yingqi brought back, and then gathered the commander of the guard company, the commander of the cavalry company, Sun Desheng, and the commander of the engineer company, and said: "The first battalion has successfully broken through, and now it's our turn, take advantage of the darkness to give you an hour to prepare, and an hour later, break through!" ”

"Where do we break through?"

"To the east," Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "Let's break through in the direction of Xinzhuang, the stronghold of Xinzhuang is only 2 hours away from the mountain, after arriving at Xinzhuang, we can hide in the mountains, enter the mountains, damn is Lao Li's territory, the little devil wants to commit murder in the mountains, and his mother is far away!" ”

"Break through later, the reconnaissance company is responsible for opening the gap, Zheng Yingqi, do you have the confidence to open the gap?" Li Yunlong looked at Zheng Yingqi.

Zheng Yingqi replied without hesitation: "Report to the head of the group!" Yes! ”

"Good! After the reconnaissance company opens the gap, the engineer company and the guard company protect the regimental headquarters, and after the cavalry company is broken, it must break out of the encirclement of the devils in the shortest possible time, understand? ”

"Yes!"

One o'clock in the morning.

15 minutes before the breakout began, Zheng Yingqi appeared at the forefront with a special reconnaissance platoon and swaggered in the clothes of a devil.

The puppet army of the Fifth Mixed Brigade stationed on the front line, I never thought that the Eighth Road would appear here at this time, wearing a devil's military uniform, and when Zheng Yingqi proposed to enter the front-line position under the pretext of inspecting the position, the puppet army battalion commander on duty let Zheng Yingqi and his party enter the position without thinking about it.

"How many people are on duty here?" Zheng Yingqi deliberately asked in jerky Chinese, and the commander of the puppet army battalion hurriedly said that there was a company with all the staff in combat preparation.

"Yaga!" Zheng Yingqi slapped the puppet battalion commander in the face with a standard devil scolding, and he said in indistinct Japanese and Chinese:

"The Eighth Route will break through at any time, and only one of your battalions is in combat readiness? You are a crime against the Empire! Yaga! The whole battalion must all be in combat positions! Walk! Take me there, and I'm going to urge them all to get into battle! ”

"Yes, Taijun." The puppet battalion commander has no temper, obviously Zheng Yingqi is holding the rank of captain, but he, the major battalion commander, doesn't dare to say anything when he is beaten.

In this way, Zheng Yingqi easily entered the back of the puppet army's position with the special reconnaissance platoon, and even shouted out the puppet army who had just been lying down for a long time.

The special reconnaissance platoon pretended to urge these puppet soldiers to disperse, but after they dispersed, they suddenly turned their faces and opened fire on the puppet army.

After stunting the puppet army, Zheng Yingqi immediately ordered Duan Peng: "Duan Peng, you take two squads to attack the puppet army's position, cooperate with the monk to break through, and I will lead people to create chaos here." ”

With the front and rear attacks of the special reconnaissance platoon and the assault platoon, the position of the puppet army changed hands almost instantly, and even if the Fifth Mixed Brigade was one of the few units in the puppet army that could fight in the field, its combat effectiveness was too much worse than that of the roaring independent regiment, not to mention that they were still flanked by the most elite reconnaissance company of the independent regiment.

"Comrades, rush!"

As the gap opened, the guard company and the engineer company protected the regimental headquarters and began to break through along the gap, while Zheng Yingqi continued to open the way with the reconnaissance company.

I thought that after breaking through the position of the puppet army, this breakthrough battle was basically won, but I didn't expect that the reconnaissance company would rush out of less than two miles before crashing headlong into the devil's position.

The chaotic sound of gunfire rang out in front of him, and for a distance of about a kilometer, there were flickering gunfires.

And judging from the body of the gun, the front is at least the blocking force of a brigade of devils.

Being pressed by the devil at the front of the position, the monk was anxious, and asked Zheng Yingqi anxiously: "Company commander, what should I do?" ”

"Rush!" Zheng Yingqi gritted his teeth, this is not the time to care about the dead and wounded, once they are stuck here, it is equivalent to nearly 700 people, including the regimental headquarters, will be besieged by devils, once dawn, there is a whole cavalry wing of devils, and they will be easily annihilated here.

"Special Reconnaissance Platoon, Assault Platoon! Rush with me! Others, follow behind! Or, kill a bloody road! Or, all the ones are on the way to attack! Zheng Yingqi's eyes were red, and with his roar, the soldiers of the special reconnaissance platoon and the assault platoon followed him and launched a charge towards the devil's position.

At this time, the devils had already surrounded him from all directions, and Li Yunlong cursed angrily, while arranging the troops, forming a defensive position of the guard company, the engineer company and the cavalry company to block the attack of the devils and the puppet army.

After withstanding the first wave of the devil's attack, Li Yunlong transferred another platoon's valuable strength to support Zheng Yingqi.

Listening to the fierce gunfire in the distance, Li Yunlong murmured: "Zheng Yingqi, it's up to you!" ”

The reconnaissance company did not disappoint Li Yunlong, and after a full hour and a half of fierce fighting, the reconnaissance company finally opened the way, tore a hole of more than 200 meters in the devil's position, and then desperately blocked the devil's counterattack.

After tearing the opening, the cavalry company and the engineer company were the first to withdraw, and the guard company blocked the pursuit of the devils, and broke out of the encirclement before the gap opened by the reconnaissance company was about to close.

But after less than five miles of the team, they ran headlong into another blockade of the devil, and the devil expected that the independent regiment would evacuate in the direction of Xinzhuang, and two insurances were laid out one after another.

Zheng Yingqi gathered the whole company, a reconnaissance company of 200 people, and now there are only more than 110 people left in the company, of which more than 20 are wounded.

"Comrades, the devil wants to leave us all here, but I want to see if the devil has such a good appetite!" Zheng Yingqi's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The reconnaissance company is the sharp knife of the whole regiment, and now is the time for our brothers to see how sharp this sharp knife is!" ”

"Tonight! I'm invincible! ”

"I'm invincible!"

The soldiers of the whole company shouted, and then under the leadership of Zheng Yingqi, the whole company launched an attack on the last blockade line of the devils.

The guns rumbled, the guns rained down, and the reconnaissance company launched another resolute and fearless charge towards the devil's position.

This is the last position of the devils, in order to leave the independent regiment, the devils are also fighting desperately, but the darkness before dawn gave the reconnaissance company the last cover, and after paying a heavy price, the reconnaissance company entered the position, and launched a fierce melee battle with the devils stationed in the position at close range.

The reconnaissance company equipped with dozens of submachine guns is the best at close combat, and in the complex trenches, the reconnaissance company and the devils compete for positions meter by meter, and sometimes even fierce white-knuckle battles break out.

"Rush!"

The engineer company and guard company that blocked the devil's encirclement charged towards the gap, but this time the gap opened was only 100 meters, and the devil still formed a fire suppression on the position of the gap.

If it weren't for the cover of the night, when the guard company and the engineer company broke out of the gap, I am afraid that they would have suffered heavy losses, but even so, when the two companies withdrew, the losses were staggering.

In the end, about 30 fighters of the guard company broke through with three heavy machine guns, but they were seriously suppressed by the devil's firepower, and the soldiers who were reluctant to give up this precious heavy machine gun rushed once with heavy machine guns, but were suppressed by the devils.

At this time, Li Yunlong withdrew from the battlefield, and after seeing the three heavy machine guns suppressed here, he was distressed and angry, and scolded loudly: "Are you all damn lacking eyes? Are people or guns important? Give heavy machine gun support to the reconnaissance company, and the people are transferred! ”

"Regiment commander," one of the soldiers cried, "this is the treasure of our machine gun company, the machine gun company is gone, if the heavy machine gun is gone, then how can there be a machine gun company!" ”

"Bastard, as long as the people in your machine gun company are there, the machine gun company is here!" Li Yunlong scolded: "Lao Tzu is famous for being able to make a fortune, isn't it just three heavy machine guns?" At the end of this breakout, Lao Tzu asked Zheng Yingqi to give you five more heavy machine guns for the machine gun company! ”

With Li Yunlong's assurance, these soldiers of the machine gun company who had been incorporated into the guard company finally gritted their teeth and left the heavy machine gun and the soldiers who operated the heavy machine gun, and the others scattered and rushed out.

The gap that the reconnaissance company desperately guarded was already precarious in the flood of devils' attacks, but fortunately, at this time, three heavy machine guns joined the support, which was able to stabilize the defense line of the reconnaissance company, and after holding on for about twenty minutes, a squad of devils went around to the left side of the reconnaissance company from the side, blocking the contact between the reconnaissance company and the friendly forces in the encirclement.

Listening to the fierce gunfire in the encirclement, Li Yunlong was anxious: "Who the hell hasn't rushed out yet?" ”

"It's the cavalry company," Zhao Gang was furious: "Lao Li, you withdraw first, I'll take the guard company to rescue the cavalry company!" ”

"Fuck you! Lao Tzu is the head of the regiment, and if you want to save it, Lao Tzu will save it! Li Yunlong pushed Zhao Gang away: "Guard Company, go with Lao Tzu to save the cavalry company!" Lao Li didn't have the style of leaving the troops and running first! ”

Under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the remaining 100 people of the guard company launched a charge towards the gap blocked by the devil, but after a round of charge, not only did they not open the gap that increased to the defense of the two squads, but the guard company participating in the attack and more than 20 soldiers fell on the battlefield.

Zhao Gang, who did not evacuate with the engineer company and the regiment headquarters, stopped Li Yunlong: "Can't rush!" Lao Li, you can't rush! As soon as we charged, we lost more than 20 soldiers, and now the devils have increased their troops, and the situation on the reconnaissance company's side is also very dangerous. ”

The first is the latest.
