As soon as the two sides contacted, the Eighth Route Army gained an overwhelming advantage.

Because the Japanese army was completely unable to compare with the Eighth Route Army in terms of individual firepower.

The Eighth Route Army not only owned nearly 100 imitation MP38 submachine guns, but even had more machine guns than the Japanese army, so it was at a disadvantage in close combat.

After only a moment of fire exchange, more than half of the infantry 2nd Squadron had been injured or killed.

A look of madness immediately appeared in Omoto Yuzo's eyes, and he turned around and shouted: "Heavy Machine Gun Squadron, open fire! Sass changed..."

"Nani?" Heike Otake, the squadron leader of the heavy machine gun squadron, said with a look of surprise, "Captain, the 2nd Infantry Squadron blocks the shooting world. Fire at this time will accidentally injure the 2nd Squadron!"

"Haga!" Omoto Yuzo said furiously, "I'll let you open fire, open fire, open fire!"

Looking at Omoto Yuzo who looked like a crazy tiger, Heike Otake didn't dare to say a word, and immediately pulled out his sabre and shouted: "All machine gun squads, open fire!"

The next moment, the eight Type 92 heavy machine guns that had already seized the commanding heights opened fire violently.

The eight dazzling tongues of flames instantly looked like the flame whip in the hands of the god of death, and the Japanese army whipped violently towards the Eighth Route Army that was strangling together in front.

In an instant, the Japanese and Eighth Route Army were like cut down wheat, falling to the ground one by one.

Seeing his brothers slumped on the ground in rows, the first battalion commander Guan Dashan's eyes turned red.

But the arrow was not turned back. In the words of the regiment leader, even if you die, you will die on the way to charge!

Guan Dashan was holding a Czech light machine gun and shot a long shot. He immediately looked up at the sky and started to beat him: "Brothers, rush, all of them will follow me and kill these beasts!"

The battle ended in this way, basically it was a desperate effort.

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion rushed forward and shot against the Japanese who had seized the commanding heights.

It is a disadvantage to use light machine guns with unstable ballistic light machine guns to shoot at the same time. Using light machine guns with heavy machine guns to shoot at the same time when charging is even more dying.

But the accuracy is not enough, so we can make up for it.

The 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment has enough light machine guns and submachine guns!

Amid the screams of bullets, blurred bullet trajectories shuttled through the valley.

Whenever the bullets are swept away, whether it is the Japanese or the Eighth Route Army, they will fall down immediately.

In just less than 100 meters, more than half of the soldiers in the first battalion were injured and less than 200 were left.

However, the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron did not take advantage. Each machine gun squadron had at least four machine gunners, and the worst machine gun squad was left with only one person.

The blood of these more than 200 soldiers did not flow in vain.

Stepping on the bloody path paved by his comrades with blood, the remaining soldiers of the 1st battalion finally approached the headquarters of the 8th battalion.

Then Guan Dashan concentrated all submachine guns and light machine guns, and with just a wave of fire, it destroyed the brigade headquarters of the 8th Battalion and the artillery position that had just been constructed.

Then, the soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd battalions rushed up like a tide.

Under the brutal firepower of more than 1,000 soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd battalions, the remaining hundreds of Japanese devils in the 8th Battalion were soon completely submerged!

Including heavy machine gun positions.

The battle ended less than a quarter of an hour ago.

More than 800 Japanese devils from the 8th Battalion of the Japanese Independent Infantry were defeated again.

The passage from the Independence Group to Taiyuan was opened again! He immediately headed straight to Taiyuan!

...

"Nani?"

"Return to Taiyuan?!"

Okamura Yanji frowned.

Miyano Doichi was also incredible: "How is it possible? Didn't the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment break eastward? And had it penetrated the blockade line of the 3rd Brigade?"

"Why did you suddenly turn around again?"

"Why are you going to go back to Taiyuan again suddenly?"

"I have never heard of prey that has escaped the trap and will come back. Is the Eighth Route Army Independence Corps stupid? Or are they already knocked out and lost their sense of direction."

Nishino Yukio could only respond with a bitter smile.

How could I know why the Independent Group suddenly turned around?

But Okamura Nishiji was Okamura Nishiji after all, so he quickly calmed down.

"This is really a puzzling and strange move." Okamura Nishi frowned, "What is the intention of the Independence Group? Are they really planning to return to Taiyuan?"

Miyano Doichi said: "This possibility still exists."

"No." Okamura Yasuji shook his head, "It is impossible for the Independent Regiment to know that the encirclement of the Imperial Army has basically taken shape. When they return to Taiyuan at this time, they are simply throwing themselves into the trap!"

"They should have discovered the 8th Brigade and responded in advance."

"So, the most likely thing is to make a breakthrough again from the junction of the 3rd Brigade and the 41st Division in the northeast direction or from the southwest direction."

"That is, this is just a fake shot!"

Miyano Daoichi said: "If it is really to break through from the northeast or southwest, why did they go on a hurry along the highway to Taiyuan? Wouldn't it be better to fight directly to the northeast or southwest?"

"Two reasons." Okamura Yasuji said, "One is to mobilize the imperial army to reveal flaws, and the other is to confuse the imperial army as much as possible and prevent the imperial army from judging its intentions."

...

"In addition to mobilizing the Japanese and confusing them, there is another more important reason!"

Li Yunlong pointed to a Japanese reconnaissance plane whizzing past his head, and said to the communications platoon leader Zhang Dakui: "That's to stay until dark!"

"After darkness, the Japanese reconnaissance plane became blind!"

"It will not be that easy for the Japanese to master our movements."

"And night battles and close battles are our Eighth Route Army's specialty, so we have a greater grasp of breaking through at night!"

Zhang Dakui looked at his pocket watch and frowned and said, "But it's only past four o'clock now, and it's at least two hours before dark. We have to run at this speed, maybe we will run back to Yuci directly."

Li Yunlong said: "Then let's run back to Yuci."

Zhang Dakui said: "But the problem is that there must be Japanese devils at this time."

"So what if there are ghosts?" Li Yunlong said, "Even if you are entangled, you can get rid of it."

Zhang Dakui said nothing. After all, Li Yunlong is the independent leader, and countless battle examples in the past prove that Li Yunlong is often the right one, and this time is probably no exception.

Li Yunlong said: "Tell me the order and the whole group will speed up."

"Even if you are just singing a fake opera, you must sing it as real."

"I don't believe it. When we fight Yuci, the Japanese will remain indifferent!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dakui agreed, then turned around and shouted, "Everything is available, speed up!"

Li Yunlong's order was quickly conveyed, and the marching speed of the Independent Regiment suddenly increased, and once again left the remnants of the 8th Battalion of the Independent Infantry Group far behind.
