"Captain, some Japanese escaped." Noting that the firepower of Japanese defense had changed, Zhang Dabiao reported to Li Yunlonghui.

Li Yunlong frowned. After Zhang Dabiao's reminder, he also noticed the changes in the Japanese firepower. Li Yunlong had rich combat experience and naturally could guess that the changes in the Japanese troops had occurred, which would lead to a weakening of the defensive firepower.

"No hurry! After our group rushed forward and killed these defensive Japanese devils, then attacked those escaping Japanese devils."

"You must know that the headquarters and division headquarters have asked our independent regiment to arrive in time this time to ensure the safety of the chief of staff, and to ensure that the body of the deputy chief of staff is not damaged. We cannot be reckless in this battle!" Li Yunlong shook his head and said.

Zhang Dabiao has been with Li Yunlong for so long. This is the first time he has seen Li Yunlong so steady in the battle. In normal battles, he probably ordered the first battalion to pursue the Japanese. Now, Li Yunlong has no idea of ​​chasing them. Instead, he wants to kill the Japanese on the Cross Ridge as quickly as possible and find Liu Gen and the others.

To be honest, Zhang Dabiao was a little unwilling to let go of the Japanese. In the previous transfer of the Independent Group, the Independent Group suffered a considerable loss. There were not many Japanese who ran away, but no matter how small the meat was, it could make the Independent Group replenish some vitality. Zhang Dabiao had no selfishness to pursue the Japanese. He just wanted to make the Independent Group get some blood back.

"Da Biao, I know your boy's thoughts, but this time it's different. Our independent group has an important task to do when returning to Liao County and coming to the Cross Ridge area!"

"It is not at this moment that killing the Japanese with the combat power of our independent regiment, isn't it just a simple urination?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and said again.

Zhang Dabiao laughed. He understood that Li Yunlong was right. With the combat power of the Independent Regiment, killing the Japanese was not that difficult. After understanding this, Zhang Dabiao was no longer confused and led the first battalion of soldiers to continue rushing towards the Cross Ridge. With less than three attacks, the Independent Regiment successfully rushed to the Cross Ridge and successfully killed the Japanese defending on the Cross Ridge.

These Japanese devils do not have enough firepower in their hands, and even if their marksmanship is accurate, they cannot withstand the attack of the independent regiment.

With the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment, if you really want to directly advocate Cross Ridge, it will be possible, but it will cost a considerable price. And two or three charges before rushing to Cross Ridge was also Li Yunlong to avoid too many Internet access from the Independent Regiment. During the Japanese Sweeping, the area where the Independent Regiment is located is the focus of the Japanese Sweeping, and the Independent Regiment suffered a considerable loss.

In Li Yunlong's words, the Independent Group is a small family. When fighting, there is no place that can be so luxurious. Saving as much as you can is the best choice.

The first time the Independent Regiment rushed to the Cross Ridge, Li Yunlong asked the soldiers to search the Cross Ridge area to find traces of Liu Gen and others. Li Yunlong was a little excited to be able to successfully rush to the Cross Ridge and kill the Japanese defensives, but he had not forgotten the Independent Regiment's mission to return to Liao County this time.

Ten minutes later, a soldier found Liu Gen and others' locations, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang rushed over immediately.

After Li Yunlong and the others arrived, Liu Gen and the other two were truly relieved. After barely saying a few words to Li Yunlong and the other two, Liu Gen and the other two fell into a coma. After the Independent Regiment's military doctor examined the injuries of Liu Gen and the other two, he couldn't help but feel silent. He could see that Liu Gen and the other two were covered with wounds, and the blood had already dyed their clothes blood red.

"Well, okay, next our Independent Regiment will have to do its best to defend Cross Ridge. If such a big noise occurs, the Japanese troops will definitely attack towards Cross Ridge. Next, we cannot relax our vigilance." Li Yunlong said with a serious expression.

After fighting with the Japanese for so long, Li Yunlong knew the Japanese very well. In addition, the Japanese mobilization has not been completely over yet, and the cross ridge has made a lot of noise, so the Japanese naturally would not easily choose to admit defeat. The Japanese lost two infantry squadrons and one infantry squadron in the Cross ridge area. How could the Japanese easily endure this tone?

"I have taken this into consideration. The soldiers are already carrying out civil engineering operations and building fortifications. I believe that before the Japanese troops arrive, we can build complete fortifications." Zhao Gang said seriously.

Li Yunlong laughed and felt relieved. He found that the cooperation between him and Zhao Gang became more and more tacit, as if it was a very good thing to have such a political commissar. At this time, Li Yunlong had long forgotten what his attitude was when Zhao Gang came to the Independent Group.

"Old Zhao, it's really good to have you guys here, it makes me feel much more relaxed." Li Yunlong couldn't help but say this.

Zhao Gang laughed, said to Li Yunlong, and then took the soldiers to observe the Cross Ridge area again. As the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, Zhao Gang had a lot of things to do. When he first arrived at the Cross Ridge area, he needed to be familiar with the surrounding environment as soon as possible. He couldn't know anything when the transfer was made.

After the arrival of the Independent Regiment, the Cross Ridge area became calm again. The only sound that could be heard was the sound produced by the warriors of the Independent Regiment when they were doing earthwork. Among them, no conversation between the soldiers was heard. The situation seen in the Cross Ridge area made the soldiers have no idea of ​​talking.

The soldiers of the Independent Corps were very skilled in conducting local work. Following Li Yunlong, they did this kind of thing very often.

Two hours later, a small Japanese army arrived at the Cross Ridge area. After seeing the independent regiment soldiers who were conducting earthwork on Cross Ridge, the small Japanese army did not move any action, but chose to observe from a distance. From the scale of earthwork displayed above Cross Ridge, this small Japanese army can confirm that the Eighth Route Army troops on Cross Ridge will not be short of troops.

As time passed, the Japanese troops continued to arrive. Although there were not many Japanese troops coming each time, two hours later, the Japanese troops still reached two infantry squadrons, which did not include some traitors and puppet troops. After sufficient troops were available, the Japanese tentatively launched an attack on Cross Ridge.

I have to say that these Japanese were cautious enough. After the tentative attack was defeated by the independent regiment, these Japanese were quiet again and had no idea of ​​continuing to attack.

During a tentative attack, the Japanese discovered that the independent regiment defending on the Cross Ridge built fortifications, which seemed to be ready for defense. After discovering this, the Japanese troops had no idea of ​​continuing to attack. The Japanese commander knew clearly that it would not be easy to attack the Eighth Route Army positions with fortifications.

At least it would be very difficult for them to successfully rush to the Cross Ridge and kill the Eighth Route Army troops defending on the Cross Ridge.

After the Japanese gave up the attack, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment continued to carry out civil engineering operations, as if they were not affected by the attack of the Japanese troops.

"Old Li, are we not taking these Japanese seriously as they do this?" Zhao Gang asked with some concern when he saw the soldiers working in the local area again under Li Yunlong's order.

The Japanese have good shooting skills. The soldiers are doing local work. Once the Japanese get a chance, there is a very likely casualties, which is what Zhao Gang doesn't want to see. However, Zhao Gang also knows that it is very necessary to strengthen the fortifications before the Japanese officially launch an attack.

Li Yunlong shook his head, "Old Zhao, don't worry, the little guys in our group are all very smart, and they are all in fortifications, where can the Japanese easily hit them?"

"Besides, if you don't take advantage of the time when the Japanese have not attacked, then when the Japanese really launch an attack, where will there be a chance to strengthen them? From the performance of these Japanese, I can be sure that these Japanese must be waiting for the arrival of other Japanese troops."

Zhao Gang nodded with a wry smile and agreed with Li Yunlong's statement. He knew that Li Yunlong was right. Strengthening the fortifications requires all time to do it. If the Japanese really have to wait until the attack is officially launched, by then, even if they want to strengthen the fortifications again, there will be no way.

"Old Zhao, sacrifice is inevitable in this war. The only thing we can do is to minimize casualties as much as possible." Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and said seriously.

During his time with Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong had long discovered the problem that Zhao Gang had, that is, some of them could not see the sacrifices of the soldiers. In other words, Zhao Gang had not experienced enough battles, but because Zhao Gang was the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, it was impossible for him to rush to the front line every time.

In order to change Zhao Gang's idea, Li Yunlong could only tell Zhao Gang in this way so that he could see the matter openly. On the day he stepped onto the battlefield, he should be prepared for sacrifice and the sacrifices of others around him. Li Yunlong has always known this clearly.

Zhao Gang was a little silent. He looked at the other soldiers around him. He could see that the soldiers who were doing local work were very calm and did not panic much. Some soldiers who were on the battlefield might still be a little nervous, but under the influence of other veterans around him, they quickly became calm.

Looking at these calm soldiers, Zhao Gang seemed to understand something, but he seemed to understand nothing.

"Captain Liu and the others have woken up." At this moment, a soldier came to report to Li Yunlong. In the Independent Regiment, the soldiers were still more accustomed to calling Liu Gen as Company Commander Liu. The soldiers always remembered when Liu Gen was the company commander of the Independent Regiment's artillery company.
