The next day during the day.

That is, June 13th.

The attack of the Yamashima United team is still the same.

One squadron after another, rolling over with a large skirmish line, wave after wave, endlessly, like a tide - the old devils on the mountain island still use the cannon fodder brigade to consume the shells of the independent regiment.

The response of the three battalions was also business as usual.

At a distance, the 82 mortars greet you, and if you get closer, it's the turn of the 82 and 60 mortars to mix doubles, and most of the devil attacks are directly repelled by these two moves.

However, the terrain around the Xiazhuang stronghold is flat, and the Devil's Mountain Artillery, which is located at the commanding height 3.5 kilometers away, can suppress the third artillery company located behind the Xiazhuang stronghold from time to time, and the Devil can continue to advance at this time.

Then it was the turn of machine guns, grenadiers, rifles, and further closer, submachine guns, shell guns.

As for grenades, there are few chances unless the devils are approaching the position.

Almost non-existent during the day.

At the end of the day, the devils launched six attacks, leaving nearly a hundred corpses in front of the position and then retreating in ashes.

But during the day it's just an appetizer.

Seeing the strong mountain island of the Xiazhuang stronghold, the decisive battle was placed at night.

Nighttime.

He ordered two main brigades, six squadrons, to charge in turn, and tried to cut off the connection between the Xiazhuang stronghold and Yang Village.

The offensive was three times more fierce than during the day.

In order to complete the task of the regiment commander to hold the Xiazhuang stronghold for three days and attract devils, the third battalion commander also had to invest all the reserves, with the help of the position, to repel the devils' charges over and over again.

Fortunately, during the day, the transport team urgently sent hundreds of flares, and the regiment headquarters also ordered the three companies of the third battalion and the first battalion and one company to come over for reinforcements, which relieved the pressure on the Xiazhuang stronghold and also kept the communication channel with Shangcun.

Otherwise, there is a real danger of the position being taken.

After all, the third battalion is facing a wing of devils!

At dawn, the tide of devils receded, leaving behind more than one hundred and fifty corpses.

The third battalion hurriedly took the wounded and began to repair the position.

"Five hundred casualties, three hundred and thirty jade shatters!"

When Yamashima received the casualty report, his face suddenly turned pale.

Including the cavalry squadron and artillery brigade, the total strength of the Yamashima Wing participating in the attack was just 3,000 people.

Attacking a small Xiazhuang stronghold for two days caused him to suffer one-sixth casualties, more than ten percent of the casualties, and he didn't even take it.

Yamashima even had a hint of retreat in his heart.

The casualties are too great!

But Yamashima also knows that if he retreats now, then let alone the general, he will not think about taking a step forward in the future, and he will stay in the position of Dazuo for the rest of his life, and he may not even be able to keep the position of wing captain.

fortunately

Last night, the eight roads in the Xiazhuang stronghold were obviously at their limit, especially in the early morning, and the density of artillery fire dropped greatly.

Let him still have confidence.

"Suspend the offense."

But the Yamashima United team has been attacking for two days in a row and must rest.

···

June 14th.

Yangquan, South Lane Mouth, Yao Ji Soy Sauce Shop.

"Old Yao."

Shen Sheng wore a short shirt and strode into the Yao Ji soy sauce shop, his tone excited:

"Good news."

"Great news!"

As he spoke, he placed a copy of Xinhua News on the counter of the soy sauce shop.

"What's the good news, happy to be like this?"

Although the shopkeeper of Yao Ji didn't know what was going on, recently, a full squadron of devils went to attack Yang Village and Shangcun, the core area of the Taiyue base area, and everyone was worried about this matter, and their mood was very low.

At this time, the news that can make Shen Sheng so excited must be great news.

He picked up the newspaper in his hand and looked at it.

After a rough review, Yao Ji's shopkeeper suddenly widened his eyes, and he didn't seem to believe the contents of the newspaper, so that he read it out word by word:

"The Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade, with an infantry battalion and an artillery company, with a total strength of less than 1,000 people, inflicted heavy losses on the Beijing Brigade, killed the captain of the brigade, Beijing Mingbox, and annihilated more than 350 Japanese troops."

"At the same time, the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment conquered the Xiazhuang stronghold and annihilated the 136 devil squadrons guarding the stronghold, and only five devils escaped at night."

"This adds up, not killing five hundred devils at once!"

After chattering, he still stared at Shen Sheng.

It still seems unbelievable.

Although the independent regiment also had a record of annihilating 200 devils before, in the final analysis, 200 devils were only a squadron of devils.

And five hundred devils.

That's the size of a devil brigade!

Squadrons and brigades are not at all of the same level.

Yao Ji, who has been to the base area and gone deep into the army, knows very well that the army has killed many devil squadrons, but so far, the record of being able to annihilate more than 500 devils at one time is rare.

Not to mention, with the strength of one regiment, annihilate five hundred devils!

It's incredible!

"It's definitely true, there are photos this time!"

Shen Sheng pointed to the photo in the newspaper.

The Xinhua News Agency has old equipment and poor technology, and the black-and-white photos printed on newsprint are not clear, but you can still see the corpses of devils lying on the road, and even a broken Type 92 infantry gun.

"Great!"

The shopkeeper Yao Ji waved his hand fiercely to vent his inner excitement.

Since you can annihilate one enemy brigade at a time, it will definitely be no problem to block a wing.

Even if you can't stop it, you won't lose much.

His hanging heart finally fell, and he felt that his heart was full of energy.

"Let's go."

Yao Ji's shopkeeper is still excited:

"We have to tell the comrades the news as soon as possible."

···

Day and night.

Yang Village.

Training ground of the separate regiment.

A full 500 combat backbones selected from the 5,000 fighters of the Independent Regiment gathered in a formation.

thereinto

There are Wei Monk, the regiment commander and guard who is the first in hand-to-hand combat in the whole regiment, Wang Gensheng, the first grenadier of the independent regiment, who is a master of reconnaissance, Shabang, the first strong man of the independent regiment, and Zhang Dabiao, the chief of staff.

There are also battalion, company, and platoon officers at all levels.

They were the backbone of the Independence Regiment.

It is also the support for the strong combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

With the help of the firelight, the five hundred soldiers all looked at Li Yunlong who was standing on the stage.

At this time, Grand Master Li was dressed in a military uniform, with a rare straight clothes and hat, a 40-type submachine gun hanging on his chest, a carrying gear tied with five magazines, and three German-made grenades pinned to his waist.

In his hand, he rarely carried a machete with a lot of gaps.

"In the past few months, are the tonn lard white flour buns and corn buns delicious?"

Li Yunlong's voice was as loud as ever, and with the help of a simple megaphone, it spread throughout the entire training ground and everyone's ears.

"Delicious!"

The warrior's voice is uniform and loud.

That's the truth!

There is not a single lie.

In this year of panic, in Shanxi, there are not many people who can fry white flour buns in lard, even if they are landlords. And the Eighth Route Army is notoriously hard, everyone can have food, but it is difficult to eat, let alone eat well.

In fact, if you are full and let go of eating, the devil can't do it.

Therefore, in the two and a half months since the lard and white flour buns were full, the average weight of the independent group has increased by thirteen catties!

These thirteen catties are not fat.

Most of them are real muscles, representing a warrior's strength and endurance.

"Have you eaten enough?"

Li Yunlong continued to ask.

"I'm full!"

The warriors' voices were still loud.

"Commander, I've never had such a good meal in my life."

Shabang couldn't help but shout.

"Hahaha..."

Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Subsequently, Li Yunlong raised the Type 40 submachine gun in his hand and asked:

"How's it going?"

"Better than the little devils!"

Zhang Dabiao also spoke.

"That's it, this batch of weapons you got from the regiment commander is much easier to use than the little devils."

"I didn't expect that one day, we would be able to fight back with better weapons and more ferocious firepower than devils."

“····”

Everyone had a lively discussion.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"The weapons and ammunition obtained by labor and management, and the military shoes are still satisfied, right?"

Li Yunlong suddenly asked loudly.

"Satisfied!"

Five hundred people replied in unison.

Inside the training ground, it was quiet again.

"That's good!"

Li Yunlong's voice became louder and louder:

"Do you want to?"

"In the future, you will be able to eat meat with lard and white flour, and even eat meat at once, fight devils with good weapons, have endless bullets, and have thousands of shells to support a battle."

"Every year there are new military uniforms, and there are military shoes that can't be pierced by shrapnel."

"Do you want to be injured, there is the best medicine to treat it?"

"Yes!"

The voice brightened three points again.

"Be louder!"

"Do you want to!"

Li Yunlong's voice was almost deafening.

"Yes!"

The sound of uniformity also resounded in the sky.

"As for how I got these weapons and materials, this is a secret, and I can't say it."

Li Yunlong's voice did not decay at all:

"But I can tell you."

"Tomorrow night, our goal is to have the headquarters of the Yamashima Wing, that is, the headquarters of the Yamashima United, to have a pot and leave no one."

"And the flag of the Devil's United!"

According to the contract, these are confidential, but after Li Yunlong and Lu Renjia applied yesterday, some of them could be indirectly told to the soldiers of the independent regiment who participated in the operation.

When the words fell, even the elites selected from the independent regiment couldn't help but change their complexions.

Some even showed hesitation.

It's all hard bones.

Not to mention the devil command, the command organ of an army must be under the protection of heavy troops, and there are more than 3,000 devils in a wing.

Rushing in will kill you, not to mention killing dozens of devils in the Devil Wing Headquarters.

There are also wing flags.

After fighting with the devil for so long, under the cultural education of the army, everyone knows what it is.

It is the flag awarded by the devil locust himself, and it is said that its number is still written by the devil locust himself, so the devil team has a sentence - the flag is in the unit, and the flag is extinguished.

The devil even sent an elite squad to protect the wing flag.

The headquarters said that whoever can capture the flag of the devil wing is the first class merit.

But so far, no unit in the whole country has captured it!

"If we can completely annihilate the headquarters of the Shandao Wing, in the future, not only will our troops be able to eat lard and white flour buns, but they will even be able to have meat at once, just eating meat."

"We can continue to have better weapons and more ammunition than the devils!"

"If the Devil's Wing flag is captured."

"Then, we'll be able to get two super cannons!"

It's about whether you can have a full meal and eat meat in the future!

It is related to whether there will be better weapons and more ammunition than devils in the future.

It's about whether you can get a super cannon or not!

As Li Yunlong's words fell, the faces of the soldiers who were originally solemn or even hesitant changed their faces.

Become resolute.

I became without a hint of hesitation!

"Do you have faith?"

Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Five hundred voices resounded throughout Yang Village.

"Let's go!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and led the team to drive in the direction of Xiazhuang.
