As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Eighth Route Army had an overwhelming advantage.

Because the Japanese army was completely incomparable with the Eighth Route Army in terms of individual firepower.

The Eighth Route Army not only had nearly 100 imitation MP38 submachine guns, but even the number of machine guns was more than that of the Japanese army, so it fell into disadvantage in close combat.

Within a few moments of the exchange of fire, the 2nd Infantry Squadron had already suffered more than half of its casualties.

Yuzo Omoto's eyes immediately showed a touch of madness, and he turned around and shouted, "Heavy machine gun squadron, fire!" Sass changed ......"

"Nani?" The squadron leader of the heavy machine gun squadron, Otake Hero, said with a stunned face, "Captain, the 2nd Infantry Squadron has blocked the firing range, and firing at this time will injure the 2nd Squadron by mistake!" ”

"Yaga!" Yuzo Omoto said angrily, "I'll let you fire, fire, fire!" ”

Looking at Yuzo Omoto, who looked like a mad tiger, the hero of Otake didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately pulled out his saber and shouted: "All machine gun detachments, fire!" ”

The next moment, the eight Type 92 heavy machine guns, which had already seized the commanding heights, opened fire fiercely.

Eight dazzling tongues of fire were like flame whips in the hands of the god of death in an instant, and they slammed towards the Eighth Route Army and Japanese troops strangled together in front of them.

Suddenly, the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army fell to the ground one by one like wheat that had been cut down.

Seeing his brothers fall to the ground in rows, the 1st battalion commander Guan Dashan's eyes were red.

But there is no turning back from the bow, in the words of the regimental commander, even if you die, you will die on the way to the charge!

Guan Dashan held a long-point shot with an imitation Czech light machine gun, and then looked up to the sky and snorted: "Brothers, rush, rush with me, kill these dog-day beasts!" ”

When it comes to this, it's basically desperate.

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion rushed forward while firing at the devils who had seized the commanding heights.

It is a great disadvantage to use a light machine gun with unstable ballistics to shoot at a heavy machine gun, and it is even more difficult to use a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun to fire at each other while charging.

But the accuracy is not enough, the number is to make up.

The 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment has enough light machine guns, submachine guns!

Amid the screaming of bullets, vague bullet trajectories weaved through the valley.

Anyone who was swept by the trajectory of the bullet, whether it was the Japanese army or the Eighth Route Army, immediately fell headlong.

At a distance of less than a hundred meters, the 1st Battalion suffered more than half of its fighters, leaving less than 200 people left.

However, the devil's heavy machine gun squadron did not take advantage of it, and each machine gun detachment changed at least four machine gunners, and the worst machine gun detachment was only one person left.

The blood of these more than 200 fighters was not shed in vain.

Stepping on the bloody road paved with the blood of their comrades, the remaining fighters of the 1st Battalion finally approached the headquarters of the 8th Brigade.

Then Guan Dashan concentrated all the submachine guns and light machine guns, and with just a wave of firepower, he destroyed the brigade headquarters of the 8th Brigade and the artillery positions that had just been constructed.

Then, the fighters of the 2nd and 3rd battalions rushed up like a tide.

Under the ferocious firepower of more than 1,000 soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd battalions, the remaining hundreds of devils of the 8th brigade were soon completely overwhelmed!

Including heavy machine-gun emplacements.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle was over.

More than 800 devils of the 8th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army were defeated again.

The passage of the independent regiment to Taiyuan has been opened again! I went straight to Taiyuan right now!

……

"Nani?"

"Back to Taiyuan?!"

Okamura frowned.

Michichi Miyano was also incredulous: "How is it possible? Hasn't the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army already broken through to the east? And has the blockade of the 3rd Brigade already been broken? ”

"Why did you suddenly turn around again?"

"Why do you suddenly want to go back to Taiyuan?"

"I've never heard that the prey that has escaped the trap will come back, is the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army stupid? Or are they dizzy and have lost their sense of direction? ”

Tsuneo Nishino could only return with a wry smile.

How do I know why the Independent Regiment suddenly turned around?

But Okamura Ninji is Okamura Ninji after all, and he quickly calmed down.

"It's a really strange and incomprehensible move." Okamura Ninji frowned, "What is the intention of the Independent Regiment?" Do they really plan to return to Taiyuan? ”

Miyano said: "This possibility still exists. ”

"No, it won't." Okamura Ningji shook his head and said, "It's impossible for the independent regiment not to know that the encirclement of the imperial army has basically taken shape, and when they return to Taiyuan at this time, they are simply throwing themselves into the net!" ”

"They should have discovered the 8th Brigade and reacted in advance."

"Therefore, the most likely thing is to prepare for another breakthrough from the junction of the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division from the northeast or southwest."

"In other words, it's just a false shot!"

Miyano said: "If it is really to break through from the northeast or southwest, then why are they rushing along the road in the direction of Taiyuan?" Wouldn't it be better to play directly in the northeast or southwest direction? ”

"Two reasons." Okamura Ninji said, "The first is to mobilize the imperial army to expose its flaws, and the second is to confuse the imperial army as much as possible and prevent the imperial army from judging its intentions. ”

……

"In addition to mobilizing devils and confusing devils, there is a more important reason!"

Li Yunlong pointed to a devil reconnaissance plane whizzing overhead, and said to Zhang Dakui, the commander of the communications platoon: "That's to stay up until after dark!" ”

"After dark, the devil reconnaissance plane will be blind!"

"When the time comes, it won't be so easy for the devils to grasp our movements."

"And night battles and close combat are our Eighth Route Army's forte, and the night breakthrough is even more certain!"

Zhang Dakui looked at his pocket watch, frowned, and said, "But it's only four o'clock now, and there are at least two hours before it gets dark. ”

Li Yunlong said: "Then let's run back to Yuci directly." ”

Zhang Dakui said: "But the problem is, there must be devils in Yuci this time." ”

"What if there are devils." Li Yunlong said, "Even if you are entangled, you can just get rid of it." ”

Zhang Dakui was silent, in the final analysis, Li Yunlong is the independent head of the regiment, and countless past examples have proved that Li Yunlong is often the right one, and this time is estimated to be no exception.

Li Yunlong said: "Pass my order, and the whole regiment will speed up. ”

"Even if it's just a fake play, it must be sung as real."

"I don't believe it, when we hit Yuci, the devil will be indifferent!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dakui agreed, then turned around and yelled, "It's all there, speed up!" ”

Li Yunlong's order was quickly conveyed, and the marching speed of the Independent Regiment was raised at once, once again leaving the devil remnants of the 8th Independent Infantry Brigade far behind.
