"Boom, boom!!"

Several more mortar shells blew up the flesh and blood of the two devil machine gunners who had been reinforced, and the machine guns in the sweeping fire were blown to pieces.

Kazuo Okada, the leader of the second infantry squadron of the Kato Brigade, looked at it with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, and his face was gloomy.

At night, the gunfire was fierce and noisy.

The shouts of killing were accompanied by the attack speed of the soldiers of the first battalion of the independent regiment, and Kazuo Gangda was miserable.

Although he already knew that the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army could not be underestimated, he did not expect that he would really be beaten back step by step under the night attack.

"Squadron leader, the casualties are too great. The third squadron was transferred to reinforce our squadron, and there were also more than 20 casualties on the right flank, and our squadron was even worse, should we continue to retreat? ”

The squadron adjutant braving the bullets swept through the night at high speed, and asked the squadron leader, Captain Kazuo Okada.

"If you retreat, you will retreat to the courtyard of the brigade headquarters."

Kazuo Okada looked behind him, and less than a hundred meters away was the brigade headquarters.

The brigade headquarters is in a group of buildings with more than 20 rooms, but once it is broken into the brigade headquarters by the independent regiment, it is really the end of the road.

Gritting his teeth, Kazuo Gangda ordered the adjutant: "Fight to the death, be sure to block the attack of the independent regiment." ”。

"In addition, send someone to report to the brigade headquarters, we will fight to the death to block the attack, but the firepower of the independent regiment is too fierce, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it for long, ask for tactical guidance."

The squadron adjutant listened to this at the sound of gunfire, and his heart was extremely bitter, but he still replied heavily: "Yes, squadron leader." ”。

Immediately, someone was immediately sent to report the latest battle situation to the brigade headquarters behind.

"Kill, kill!! Resist, fight to the death, resist!! ”

"His Majesty the Locust, His Majesty the Locust, waiting for help!"

Kazuo Okada roared, brandishing his katana and fiercely directing the attack.

At this time, Li Yunlong had already come down directly from the temporary command headquarters and went down to the front line to command the battle.

"Boom, boom!!"

"Tutu Tutu Tutu Tu Tu !!"

The sound of gunfire came and went, and the trajectory was very obvious in the night.

Of course, the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment and the temporary assault team formed by Duan Peng's reconnaissance company, relying on the superiority of the melee rapid-fire firepower of the captured Devil Secret Service M3 submachine guns, the Gangtian squadron that blocked the attack suffered heavy casualties, and could only retreat step by step to block the attack.

"Well done!!"

Li Yunlong didn't need a telescope to see Wang Chenghai using two 82 mm mortars to kill one of the devil's machine gun fire points, so that the submachine gun assault team commanded by Duan Peng successfully attacked and advanced northward.

The battalion that followed behind the assault team, under the command of Zhang Dabiao, smoothly continued the attack and followed the advance.

The tactical maneuvers were perfectly coordinated, and the Gangtian squadron, which was fighting to block, could only keep retreating.

"Report to the Captain!"

At this time, a signal soldier with the army immediately rushed to Li Yunlong's side and reported loudly: "Intercept the reply call from the Sakata Wing Headquarters to the Kato Brigade, and urgently decipher that the devil wants to mobilize the Second Infantry Brigade of the Sakata Wing stationed in Wudi City to rush to the aid of Heyuan County." ”。

"What?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately took the telegram from the signal soldier, and then stared at the words on the telegram in the night light.

", the little devil's movements are very fast! It's a pity that it took an hour of rapid marching to be able to rush from Emperor Wu City to Heyuan County. An hour, Lao Tzu's hour is enough to take out the Kato brigade. ”

Li Yunlong sneered.

Emperor Wu City is more than eleven kilometers away from Heyuan County, even if it is an hour's march speed according to the rapid march, it will definitely take an hour.

An hour was enough time for the elite of the two battalions of the Independent Regiment to eat the rest of Kato's brigade in a few bites during this period.

"Keep listening, and report as soon as there is an update on the enemy!"

Li Yunlong then ordered the signal soldiers.

"Understood, Captain."

The Signal Soldier replied.

Li Yunlong continued to command Zhang Dabiao's battalion and Duan Peng's submachine gun assault team to attack and advance northward under the protection of Wei Dayong and Wei monks.

And the Shen Quan's headquarters of the second battalion, which had already rounded around the devil brigade headquarters in the rest of the directions, also stepped up their attacks.

However, because he intercepted the communication information of the devils, Li Yunlong still sent someone to order Shen Quan and command the second battalion to intensify the attack.

All of a sudden, the courtyard where the Devil Kato Brigade Headquarters was located in the county town of Heyuan County was the core, and everywhere in the outer seventy or eighty meters was the sound of shouting and gunfire intertwined.

The various units of the independent battalion that intensified the attack, and the devils who immediately fought the defense were miserable.

In the night battle, the tactics of the independent regiment were very well coordinated.

Relying on a small force to assault, fire suppression, the use of light and heavy machine gun fire suppression, artillery strikes, little by little and quickly gnaw away the main firepower points of the devils.

As soon as the firing point was gnawed off, the casualties of the blocking devil infantry were aggravated by the fighters of the independent regiment.

Kato Brigade Headquarters, on the roof of the building where the headquarters is located.

Taro Kato looked around, and the stray bullets were enough to reach the rooftops.

However, Taro Kato refused the persuasion of Kentaro Kusada, the chief of staff of the brigade, and went down to the headquarters below to direct the battle, but continued to stay on the roof, condescending to observe the battle.

"Bang bang bang, bang!!"

"Boom, boom!"

The rhythmic machine-gun fire, as well as the explosion of grenades, and the accurate shelling of mortars, were all clearly seen by Taro Kato.

"It is worthy of Li Yunlong, the commander of the Eighth Route Army who broke through from the front of Cangyun Ridge, and the men and horses under his command are really strong in combat."

Taro Kato had to admit that under the conditions of night fighting, the opponent's attack was still very fierce.

"Captain, Kazuo Gangda sent someone to report urgently, their squadron suffered heavy casualties, and a squad of the third squadron that reinforced them also suffered more than half of the casualties at this time."

Kentaro Kusada said urgently.

"The closest thing to the men and horses of the Independent Regiment is less than fifty meters away from the brigade headquarters!"

Taro Kato looked around on the roof, and in the night, the devils who had been beaten everywhere and were close to the brigade headquarters had already sent people to report the latest battle situation.

"How many centaurs do we have left?"

Taro Kato pretended to be calm, but he panicked in his heart and asked with a hard mouth.

"The latest casualties reported from all over the place, we only have more than 500 people left."

Captain Kentaro Kusada said bitterly, "There are too many streets to defend, and we don't have enough troops. ”

"Then don't defend, concentrate your forces and retreat to the building complex where the brigade headquarters is located. Send a telegram directly to the reinforcements in Emperor Wu City, and ask them to speed up their efforts to reinforce us. ”

Taro Kato knew that it was impossible to divide his troops to block the attack, so it was better to concentrate his forces and retreat to the brigade headquarters.

"Captain, in this case, if we want to break through in the future, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Kentaro Kusada said in a condensed voice.
