Chapter 486: Tada Miles' ambition

The charge began, and Li Yunlong and a battalion of soldiers launched a charge against the infantry squadron attacking the Japanese.

Under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the first battalion of soldiers was vigorous and they were even more fearless when charging. In addition, in order to cover the charge of Li Yunlong and others, the Independent Regiment's firepower was fully launched, and they caught the Japanese off guard, which allowed the Japanese to suppress the Independent Regiment's firepower.

The Japanese were not prepared for any defense. After Li Yunlong and the first battalion of soldiers successfully rushed into the Japanese infantry squadron and launched a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese infantry squadron, the Japanese commander reacted.

The Japanese commander Tada Miri looked at Li Yunlong and others who were in a hand-to-hand battle with the infantry squadron in cold eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. He did not expect that Li Yunlong would lead the troops to launch a counterattack, which was beyond his expectations. In Tada Miri's view, Li Yunlong and others could still hold on to the Cross Ridge and stayed for enough time.

Now, Li Yunlong took the initiative to launch a charge, which was undoubtedly a death sentence. Just looking at the Japanese soldiers who were constantly retreating in hand-to-hand combat, Tada Manli looked a little ugly. The performance of this infantry squadron in hand-to-hand combat was too poor. Soon, in the Japanese reserve team, a Japanese infantry squadron rushed out quickly and rushed towards the location where Li Yunlong and others were.

Tada Wanli did not want to fail in hand-to-hand combat, and hoped to encircle and annihilate Li Yunlong and others who dared to charge. He was a little curious about Li Yunlong and others. Until now, he still didn't know which unit of the Eighth Route Army was on the Cross Ridge. During the attack of Cross Ridge, the Japanese had not captured any warriors from the Independent Regiment. Even if they unfortunately fell into the hands of the Japanese, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment would take the initiative to seek death and would not give the Japanese any chance to understand the Independent Regiment.

"Koizumi, haven't you found out which unit is defending this Cross Ridge?" Tada Manri said to the staff officer Ichiro Koizumi.

Ichiro Koizumi looked a little old with thick eyes, but the gleam in his eyes made people understand that he had enough combat experience to take on the position of staff. In fact, this is true. In the entire First Army, Ichiro Koizumi was a little famous, even if he was just a small staff officer.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, you have not yet captured the survivor of this Eighth Route Army unit, but judging from its uniform, it should be the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Judging from the firepower shown by this Eighth Route Army unit, this Eighth Route Army unit should be the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army unit, and its firepower is very strong. If an ordinary infantry brigade encounters such an Eighth Route Army unit, it may not be an opponent." Koizumi Ichiro said.

Although he failed to learn more information, Ichiro Koizumi also made enough careful observations in the battle. Whether from the firepower shown by the Independent Regiment or the fighting will shown by the Independent Regiment's soldiers, he could see that the Independent Regiment's combat effectiveness was not weak. In addition, the Independent Regiment also had artillery troops, and the ordinary infantry brigades would not be the opponent of this Eighth Route Army unit.

"The troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army? I remember that among this unit, the 386th Brigade's troops are the most famous and have the most powerful combat effectiveness, and are deeply afraid of the troops of our First Army."

"Koizumi, is this unit possible for this unit to be the 386th Brigade? Judging from the escape route of the Eighth Route Army during the previous sweep, their 386th Brigade should be the closest to Liao County." Tada Manli thought for a moment and speculated.

Suddenly, Ichiro Koizumi was stunned. After Tada Manri's reminder, he found that there was really such a possibility, and the possibility was very high!

Ichiro Koizumi suddenly looked up at Li Yunlong and others who were conducting hand-to-hand combat. He could see that the hand-to-hand combat was very tragic, and people on both sides were killed at all times. Looking at Liu Gen and others who were defended by the Japanese soldiers, Ichiro Koizumi found that this scene seemed a bit familiar. When surrounded, this Eighth Route Army unit dared to charge backwards. The 386th Brigade seemed to have such an Eighth Route Army commander in this style.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, maybe I know the origin of this Eighth Route Army unit." Koizumi Ichiro suddenly spoke.

Tada Manri was a little surprised. He frowned and looked at Koizumi Ichiro beside him, wanting to know what kind of inference Koizumi Ichiro had. Tada Manri couldn't understand what was the basis for Koizumi Ichiro's inference. At the same time, he also wanted to know what the Eighth Route Army troops defending on Cross Ridge had.

"Koizumi, just tell me your inferences. I really want to know more about this Eighth Route Army unit." Tada Manri said in a deep voice.

Five hundred meters away, Li Yunlong and others were constantly fighting with the Japanese soldiers. The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, not to mention that the first battalion was the strongest battalion. In hand-to-hand combat, they were not much weaker than the Japanese soldiers. In addition, Li Yunlong and others had already prepared for hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese. The soldiers killed a lot of Japanese soldiers when they contacted the Japanese.

Even though the Japanese have added infantry squadrons again, due to the restrictions of the terrain, the infantry squadrons reinforced by the Japanese cannot easily get to the positions of Li Yunlong and others. It seems that Li Yunlong and others are surrounded, but in fact, Li Yunlong and others still have a way out, that is, to return to the Cross Ridge.

The firepower of both sides is still constantly competing. Due to hand-to-hand combat, Li Yunlong and others are entangled with the Japanese soldiers, so the Japanese firepower can only continue to attack the defensive positions of the independent regiment. As for shooting at Li Yunlong and others, the Japanese cannot do it unless they want to give up the Japanese who are fighting with Li Yunlong and others.

But on such a battlefield, it is impossible for the Japanese to do this, and the Japanese commander would not issue such a combat order. Shooting at Li Yunlong and others will inevitably lead to the death of many Japanese soldiers. If the Japanese soldiers can die at the hands of Li Yunlong and others, they cannot fall under the guns of other Japanese soldiers, otherwise where will the Japanese soldiers dare to charge next time?

In hand-to-hand combat, Li Yunlong and others had no idea of ​​retreating for the time being. Li Yunlong knew his status very well. As long as these Japanese soldiers did not retreat, he would not easily lead the soldiers of the first battalion to retreat. Moreover, the hand-to-hand combat with these Japanese was still within the defense that Li Yunlong could accept. With the combat power of the first battalion, there was no need to worry that the soldiers would be afraid of fighting with the Japanese.

On the Cross Ridge in the rear, Zhao Gang was always paying attention to the situation of Li Yunlong and others. When he saw Li Yunlong and others temporarily stabilize their pace and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, he was even more worried about Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong's strength is good, but Li Yunlong is old and cannot be compared with young soldiers at all. After so many years of participating in the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong was injured a lot. When he was older, his physical fitness naturally could not be maintained.

However, in order to avoid problems with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang also made the artillery company combat preparations. Once the situation is critical, the artillery company will decisively launch artillery bombardment on the Japanese artillery positions and firepower points to attract the Japanese's attention to cover the retreat of Li Yunlong and others.

Zhao Gang knew very well what the consequences would be. He hoped that he would never let the artillery company fire. With the performance of the Japanese and the number of artillery of the Japanese, once the artillery company fired, the Japanese artillery would definitely find the position of the artillery company in the shortest time, and then launch a counterattack against the artillery company. At that time, the soldiers of the artillery company will be in danger of their lives.

In the location of the Japanese command post, Tada Manri learned his inference from Ichiro Koizumi. After listening to Ichiro Koizumi's inference, his face was a little clear, but he did not expect that he would encounter the unit of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division.

In the entire First Army, there are many independent regiments who don’t know, but as long as there are some Japanese officers who are concerned about fighting, they will inevitably know Li Yunlong, or have a certain impression of the name Li Yunlong. This is true for Tada Wanli. He knows Li Yunlong, and also knows the achievements made by Li Yunlong’s independent regiment.

The special agent team failed several raids, the Sakata United, Yamazaki Brigade, the Battlefield Observation Group, etc., all suffered great losses at the hands of the independent regiment. In particular, the special agent team failed in combat missions several times due to the independent regiment, which made Tada Wanri always want to fight with Li Yunlong, proving that he is not worse than Yamamoto Ikki!

In the First Army of the Japanese, there were not many people who could easily become a colonel-level officer like Yamamoto Ichiki. Even if some of them were, they had extremely good military achievements. Only Yamamoto Ichiki did not have enough military achievements. After entering the First Army, Yamamoto Ichiki became a colonel directly, which made many officers in the First Army very dissatisfied.

If the special agent team formed by Yamamoto Ikki can achieve certain results in several combat operations and prove the special agent team and his own abilities, then the officers of the First Army would not have any ideas. Unfortunately, Yamamoto Ikki's several combat operations ended in failure, especially the performance of the special agent team before the battlefield observation regiment came to watch the battle, which led to the battlefield observation regiment being annihilated by the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Several failures in the battle have long required the agents to prove their abilities. However, the destruction of the battlefield observation regiment became the last straw that overwhelmed the Japanese agents. After that, it was difficult for the agents to get the opportunity to prove their abilities again, and the agents also became a laughing stock in the eyes of many officers of the First Army.

For most First Army officers, the results achieved by the special agent team under the leadership of Colonel Yamamoto Ichiki, they would definitely do so, which made them somewhat of an opinion on Kazuki Yamamoto. In the eyes of these officers, as long as they prove that they are stronger than Kazuki Yamamoto, they might be promoted to colonel.

Since Yamamoto Ichiki, the lucky one, can appear in the First Army, why can't this lucky one be them? Tada Manri is one of them. He is eager to find the Eighth Route Army troops that have defeated the special agent team to prove his ability, and even if he cannot get promoted in a short period of time, he can get more attention.

The Independent Regiment is undoubtedly the best target for Tada. During the sweep, Tada wanted to find the traces of the Independent Regiment and successfully killed the Independent Regiment. It was just that the 36th Division had other arrangements for Tada, which made Tada unable to withdraw from the traces of the Independent Regiment, which made him very regretful.

Now, Tada Manri had no regrets. His face was ferocious and his eyes were filled with a deep surprise. Anyone could see his ambition.

"Koizumi, you did a good job, not your reminder, then I wouldn't realize that this Eighth Route Army unit defending on Cross Ridge would be the Eighth Route Army's independent regiment! Very good! Really good!" Tada Manri said with an arrogant smile. Tada Manri did not take the Independent Regiment seriously. Even if the Independent Regiment had always performed well in combat effectiveness, he did not think that the Independent Regiment would be of much threat.

"Your Excellency Nakasa, all this is just my guess. We cannot be sure that this unit is the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army! If it were this unit of the Eighth Route Army, then with the strength in our hands, there might be some shortcomings." Koizumi Ichiro did not have much joy, and he remained calm.

Ichiro Koizumi had never seen the battle of the special agent team, but he knew that the Japanese soldiers in the special agent team were all the elite. Even if they were limited by troops, they undoubtedly had their own advantages compared to the combat effectiveness of an infantry brigade, and at least they were incomparable to the infantry brigade in terms of flexibility.

In addition, the special agent team is equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment from Germany, and close-range collisions may not be an opponent.

In any case, for the sake of caution and in order to ensure that this unit that is likely to be the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is safe, choosing to call for reinforcements will not be the best choice. Now in the battle, one of them has the advantage, but who knows what other means does this Eighth Route Army unit have? If it is really an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, it will probably be even more troublesome.

"No! With the strength of our infantry brigade, it is enough to kill this so-called independent regiment!" Tada Manri refused directly,

Koizumi Ichiro wanted to say something, and just as he wanted to speak, he felt a cold gaze falling on him, and he suddenly had no idea of ​​persuasion. Koizumi Ichiro was sure that if he said something, then Da Wanli would definitely scold him directly.

After following Tada Miri for so long, how could I not know his personality? In this regard, Koizumi Ichiro could only hope that the battle would go smoothly as Tada Miri thought, without any opinions.

Looking at Li Yunlong and others who were in the hand-to-hand combat, Koizumi Ichiro hesitated a little. He felt that Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent regiment, was likely to be among them, but thinking of Tada's character, he finally gave up the idea of ​​opening his mouth, and it would be better to say less.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who had just killed the Japanese, was rushing towards other Japanese devils. He didn't know that anyone had guessed the identity of the Independent Corps, and even guessed that he was likely to be in the charge team. During the battle, Li Yunlong had no time to think about this matter. Hand-to-hand combat was too dangerous. Even if Li Yunlong had rich combat experience, he would not dare to be distracted.
