Li Yunlong just gave the order: "Zhang Dabiao, go! Catch someone alive and ask what troops are on the other side."

He didn't even need to ask for this, Zhang Dabiao had already done it and was just about to report to him!

"Captain, opposite is the Sakata Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Brigade!"

…

In fact, the headquarters made a bit of a miscalculation this time and did not arrange too many people around.

Currently, they only have two regiments of troops in this direction. One part of the decisive force, almost a regiment of troops, is closely guarding the division headquarters and is also evacuating from the hospital.

With Li Yunlong's new regiment, one on the left and one on the right, they escorted the retreat of the headquarters and field hospital.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong's new regiment ran into the Bantian Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Brigade on the way to evacuate the headquarters. The Sakata Regiment had more than 3,800 people and all kinds of heavy weapons. They greeted them as soon as they met.

That's called intense.

But after all, Li Yunlong has been on a long march of thousands of miles. He was the regiment leader when he crossed the grassland and climbed the snow-capped mountains. He has been fighting for more than ten years. This kind of encounter is nothing to him!

Li Yunlong quickly changed from an encounter to a defensive battle, and the troops changed their combat posture very quickly. It can be seen that the troops under Li Yunlong's control are definitely elite troops with rich combat experience.

In a short period of time, they withstood the fierce attack of the Sakata Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Brigade, and quickly laid minefields after the battle.

And by using landmines, the Japanese Army's Fifth Squadron of Sakata Regiment suffered heavy losses and retreated with the loss of hundreds of lives.

Then, they took advantage of this quickly deployed minefield to quickly gain a foothold and withstood the fierce attacks of the Sakata United Team more than a dozen times.

Maybe it can't be said that they withstood more than a dozen times. Sometimes the position was taken away by the Japanese army, but they rushed up again and tried their best to take it back.

But one thing is that the main peak of Cangyun Ridge has never been lost.

On several hills in Cangyun Ridge, almost six to seven thousand people from both sides were deployed in formations, charging at each other to attack each other.

The sound of artillery shells, grenades, light and heavy machine guns, and scattered rifles.

Sometimes they charge each other and fight in hand-to-hand combat.

The Japanese army rushed to the Eighth Route Army's position many times, but was immediately repelled. The headquarters and field hospital were behind. Every soldier of the Eighth Route Army was fearless and fearless. Even if the enemy stabbed a bayonet in the stomach, they

They will also give the enemy a bayonet in return. If his hand is cut off, they will also rush forward and bite the enemy's throat with their teeth.

In this way, desperate for their lives, they finally drove the Japanese troops out of their positions again.

In front of the position, lay the bodies of countless soldiers, including those from the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army.

There was no time to collect the remains now, so they used the short period of time when the enemy retreated to desperately repair and strengthen their positions.

In the Japanese command post, the captain of the third regiment of the Japanese fourth brigade, Colonel Nobuzawa Sakata, stuck his head out from under the cover of the command post and carefully observed the battlefield with a telescope.

In fact, his place is not too far from the battlefield. The Japanese army officers have always been very courageous, especially because the Eighth Route Army has always relied on light weapons and does not have many long-range heavy weapons.

And they have always been in an offensive posture, so they don't think there is any danger in moving the command post too far forward.

Colonel Nobuzawa Sakata used his binoculars to look back and forth at the Eighth Route Army's position no less than a dozen times, nodding and shaking his head.

At this time, a Japanese lieutenant colonel came in. He was the chief of staff of the regiment, holding a telegram in his hand.

"Report to the commander, the brigade commander is calling!"

Sakata Nobuze didn't even turn around: "Read it!"

The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff immediately unfolded the telegram in his hand: "According to reliable information, the enemy in front of you is the main force of the 129th Division of the enemy's 18th Group Army.

The North China Front Army Headquarters orders your unit to occupy the main peak of Cangyun Ridge at 12:00 noon. You must annihilate the enemy's main force and not let anyone slip through the net!

The Emperor..."

Nobuyuki Sakata nodded: "I understand!"

The Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff put away the telegram in his hand, took a step forward and stood next to Sakata Nobuze, and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the enemy does not seem to have heavy weapons, only a small number of mortars!

And judging from the sound of gunfire, their gunfire was also very sparse, and they seemed to have insufficient weapons and equipment!

In my opinion, one brigade is enough to deal with such an enemy!"

Sakata Nobuze shook his head: "The enemy did not devote all of their main force, only a part of them competed with us!

Moreover, we can hear from the gunfire that in addition to a few mortars, they are also equipped with a small number of 92 machine guns. Their strength cannot be underestimated!

It should be the enemy's main force.

Now, which unit of the Eighth Route Army is at the main peak position of Cangyun Ridge opposite?"

The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff raised his head and replied: "First Division of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army."

After hearing such a vague answer, Sakata Nobusawa turned around and asked very seriously.

"I'm asking which regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army!"

The Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff suddenly didn't know how to answer: "This...

This is not clear yet.

Because so far, we haven’t caught them, not a single prisoner!”

Sakata Nobuze was furious: "Baga, after fighting for a long time, we didn't even figure out the enemy's regular number!

This is incompetence!”

In response to the scolding of the commander, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff had no choice but to bow their heads and did not dare to defend themselves, because it was true that they did not do a good enough job.

"Hi!"

Sakata Nobusawa did not continue to scold him, he sighed and returned to his gentle attitude towards his subordinates.

"I can't blame you for this. This is a powerful force. It is understandable that it is difficult to capture prisoners.

Pu Youjun, have you noticed?

This Eighth Route Army is very good at arranging troops. I dare to conclude that the commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of me must be a veteran in defensive warfare!

His hasty circular fortification construction is very unique, and the connection between trenches and foxholes is also extremely subtle and methodical!

The arrangement of light and heavy machine guns and the layout of the cross-fire network are obvious reminders that the Eighth Route Army commander in front of us is a veteran!

Especially in such a short period of time, the encounter quickly transformed into a defensive battle, and the minefields were already laid out in just a short period of contact.

Our fifth squadron suffered heavy losses in the minefield!

It can be seen that the army in front of us is not simple, but has extremely strong combat effectiveness!

This person is not simple!"

The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff disagreed: "Although what the company captain said makes sense, the Eighth Route Army and the National Army often lay minefields during operations. This is not too strange!"

However, Sakata Nobuze shook his head and said: "No, no, you have forgotten that when other troops deployed minefields in the past, they needed to arrange them in advance.

The encounter between us and the Eighth Route Army in front of us was an encounter, and Lei Chang's time was not arranged in advance.

But they were able to withstand our attack after encountering us and during the encounter, and they were able to lay out a complete minefield in a short period of time. This is incredible!

If you are not an elite, you will not have this ability!

Tell the attacking troops to capture this person alive, I want to see what kind of person he is, who can actually have such abilities!"

…

On the opposite side, the new regiment, which had just repelled the 13th Japanese attack, finally had time to breathe.

But the tense atmosphere still spread throughout the entire position, and the health workers quickly carried the stretchers and carried the wounded down.

The logistics department quickly distributes consumed ammunition to needed locations.

Li Yunlong's eagle-like eyes stared at the entire position. No mistakes were allowed on the position because he was the last fence between the division headquarters and the field hospital.

If he cannot bear it, everyone in the headquarters, division and field hospitals behind him will suffer.

After confirming that there were no big holes in the position, he once again used his telescope to observe the Japanese position on the opposite side.

While watching, I was thinking, how to deal with this group of devils?

The premise is that the division headquarters and field hospital are moved.

Put away the telescope and come to the first battalion's position.

"First battalion commander!"

"have!"

Zhang Dabiao trotted over.

Li Yunlong asked him: "Zhang Dabiao, have the division headquarters and field hospital been moved?"

Although Zhang Dabiao is only the commander of the first battalion, in the New Regiment, although he does not have the position of chief of staff, he still exercises the power of chief of staff because the new regiment lacks a political commissar and a chief of staff.

So things like this are usually in charge of Zhang Dabiao.

Upon hearing Li Yunlong's inquiry, Zhang Dabiao immediately replied to him.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the division headquarters and field hospital have been successfully transferred!"

Li Yunlong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news that the division headquarters and field hospital had been successfully transferred.
