Chapter 20: Setting Yourself on Fire

Hearing this news, Sakata laughed and said, "Very good, give me a fierce counterattack immediately, I want to capture Li Yunlong alive!" ”

The devils are now like they have been beaten and have begun to fight back, but at this time, the number of casualties in the Sakata United team is not small, and it is estimated that they have lost a thousand people, not to mention a thousand people.

In this case, the counterattack was not very effective, because the terrain was very unfavorable for the Sakata Wing, although it was said that they could use grenadiers and mortars to attack the positions of the new regiment, but in general, the casualties of the new regiment were still very small, only more than a hundred people were gone.

If this battle is fought here and both sides retreat, then it will be a big victory for the Eighth Route Army, after all, the ratio of such an exchange is close to 1 to ten.

In the past, it could basically be said that it was the other way around, and it took ten Chinese soldiers to exchange the life of a devil.

What is such a result, not a big victory?

Just when Li Yunlong was about to cripple the Sakata Wing, or even capture Sakata alive, someone from below came to report that another wing of the devil was reinforcing the Sakata Wing, and it would arrive at the battlefield in about half an hour.

Li Yunlong didn't expect that the devil's reinforcements would come so quickly, and now it seems that it is almost impossible to defeat the remnants of the Sakata United.

After all, the new regiment consumes a lot of ammunition now, and if you fight with the devil's reinforcements, it will almost be a defeat.

Although there is no way to eat the meat in the mouth, it is a little unwilling to withdraw like this, but there is no good way.

Li Yunlong had no choice but to order, and the new regiment retreated quickly, not giving the devils a chance to take advantage of.

If it is a wing of the Japanese army whose combat effectiveness is not good, Li Yunlong will definitely cripple it, but this time it is not easy to face the Sakata wing, of course, if there are no reinforcements of the devils, Li Yunlong will definitely have to touch it again, and it is good to be able to eliminate a few more devils.

Now that the new regiment has begun to withdraw, the firepower has slowly decreased, and the Sakata United in the valley below obviously feels that the pressure has decreased a lot, and Sakata is overjoyed: "Bageya Road, chase me, I can't let Balu run away, Lao Tzu still has to capture Li Yunlong alive." ”

Hearing that reinforcements were coming, and that the new regiment had begun to withdraw, the Sakata Wing began to rush uphill as if it had been beaten uphill, and the passage to Taniguchi was quickly opened.

Although Li Yunlong said that he ordered a retreat, he was guarding against the pursuit of devils.

After all, this victory was not easy to come by, and if it turned into defeat, it would not look good.

It is true that more than 1,000 devils were annihilated, this result is very remarkable, and his own losses are only more than 100 people, just with this record, it is not too much for Li Yunlong to be directly promoted to brigade commander.

You must know that in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army did not have such results for several years, even some battles commanded by the god of war were not achieved.

For example, in 1940, the Eighth Route Army gathered 2,000 men and besieged 500 Japanese troops who occupied Guanjianao.

After two days and two nights, they failed to completely annihilate 500 Japanese troops.

The reason for the defeat was actually because the Japanese army had high combat quality and air support, and the Eighth Route Army did not have anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, so as soon as the battle began, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army continued to increase.

And similar to Li Yunlong's attack on the Bantian Wing this time, the Japanese army also sent reinforcements, and under the cover of more than a dozen aircraft, the reinforced Japanese army approached Guanjianao, so that the Eighth Route Army had to stop the attack and withdraw from the battle.

It's just that the situation Li Yunlong encountered this time is different, Sakata doesn't plan to let him go, but wants to capture him alive, after all, Li Yunlong's troops are not more than the two wings of the Japanese army, so Sakata has this strength and confidence.

Now Li Yunlong's heavy firepower and ammunition consumption are very large, so the advantage has also weakened.

Moreover, it is not so easy to quickly evacuate the battlefield with these heavy firepower, so the three battalions covering the retreat in the back have also begun to fight harder, and the casualties are increasing.

Li Yunlong knew that this time, only by using Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment could it be possible to get rid of Bantian's pursuit.

Therefore, Li Yunlong immediately ordered to retreat in the direction of Chu Yunfei's department.

Although Chu Yunfei may not cooperate with Li Yunlong, but the Bantian United and another wing have hit his territory, if he turns a blind eye or escapes, then it will definitely not be Chu Yunfei.

So this time, Li Yunlong also borrowed Chu Yunfei's momentum, if the Bantian United team had to fight a decisive battle at that time, then it would be a battle.

"Boom, boom!"

Li Yunlong's mortars were still roaring, and while they were retreating, these artillery fires also caused a lot of trouble to the Sakata United, so that the pursuit of the Sakata Wing was not so strong.

Fortunately, in the battle, most of the field artillery of the Sakata Wing were destroyed, and without heavy firepower, coupled with the large casualties, the Sakata Wing chased for a while, and then could not catch up.

However, Sakata refused to give up, so he let the reinforced wing chase ahead.

After almost a day of fighting, when it was almost dark, Li Yunlong's new regiment finally arrived not far from Chu Yunfei's department.

Chu Yunfei had naturally gotten the news that the Japanese Sakata Wing and the 361st Wing had pursued the new regiment to his territory.

Although Chu Yunfei was very angry, this Li Yunlong brought the war to him, but when he heard that Li Yunlong had eliminated thousands of devils, he also had to admire Li Yunlong for being a man, he dared to fight with the devil Bantian United, and he defeated the strong with the weak, although he was a little embarrassed to be chased now, but the loss was not big, and he could continue to fight.

Not only that, Chu Yunfei couldn't believe it when he heard that Li Yunlong had also shot down five Japanese planes, even he didn't have anti-aircraft guns, how could this Li Yunlong have such powerful equipment?

Li Yunlong quickly sent someone to contact Chu Yunfei and asked him to join forces to resist the enemy.

Of course, Chu Yunfei couldn't agree at once, so he asked people to reply to Li Yunlong, if he wanted to fight, let the new regiment fight, and his 358th regiment would not be fooled.

Fortunately, at this time, the devils did not attack again, the Sakata Wing and the 361 Wing obviously made a judgment, if the 358th Regiment and Li Yunlong's new regiment united, they had no chance of winning at all, plus they got the situation, the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army was moving in their direction, and if there was another independent regiment, then they would be very dangerous.

The above asked Sakata to retreat, and Sakata did not dare to disobey the order.

As soon as the devil withdrew, Li Yunlong would be very happy, this time he really played the majesty of a new group, that Sakata United, if he ran into him Li Yunlong in the future, I was afraid that he would have to weigh it.

Now it seems that the heavy firepower provided by Duan Yunpeng is indeed too effective, and if there are more, Li Yunlong even feels that he can eat the Bantian United.
