Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 561 Brothers, charge with me and we must beat back the last dagger of the Japs!

After eliminating the threat from the Japanese heavy artillery, the armored regiment's breakout operation became much smoother. Facing the Japanese soldiers' desperate charge, the soldiers did not hold back at all, and the fierce firepower made the Japanese soldiers fall down like wheat being cut.

Faced with such huge casualties, Yoshihara Jiro did not weaken the offensive, but instead sent more troops to launch a charge, intending to use the flesh and blood of his soldiers to block the armored regiment's breakout. This indeed caused great trouble to the armored regiment's breakout operation. The Japanese soldiers were like crazy, rushing down from the mountain positions on both sides, and the rumbling explosions rang out one after another, posing a huge threat to the armored regiment that was on the move.

"Damn it, the Japanese commander is really ruthless. We have already launched six rounds of desperate attacks. The damn Japanese are really not afraid of death. I have finally opened my eyes this time. The college students said that the Japanese were brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido and became like crazy. I think with our current firepower density, we can definitely teach the Japanese a lesson and cure their madness."

"Now it seems that I was really wishful thinking. Those damn Japs are really fighting to the death. When it comes to courage, they are no worse than the brothers in our armored regiment. It seems that I have met a real opponent this time. If it were not for the purpose of breaking out as soon as possible, I would really like to have a good fight with the Yoshiwara Brigade. If this tough opponent is not eliminated, it will only bring us more trouble in the future!" Li Yunlong said with a hint of worry, holding the intercom in his hand.

Lin Zhenhua calmed himself down and replied with a smile: "Old Li, the Yoshiwara Brigade is just a minor problem. Just because we have passed Erchuangling doesn't mean we are safe. There are still difficulties ahead that we need to overcome. What's more, we haven't even completely passed Erchuangling yet. It is already very difficult to break out. If we stop the breakout at this time and turn the retreat into an offensive, it will only put us in a more dangerous situation."

"Lao Kong just sent a telegram. They have temporarily attracted the attention of the Aoki Division. The two sides have fallen into a brief stalemate. Both sides have suffered heavy losses. In the past two hours, Lao Kong and his men have lost a battalion of troops. At the current combat intensity, it is estimated that they will need to lose three battalions before they can safely bring us back."

While the two were talking, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed again. Yoshihara Harajiro did not use the previous tactic of adding fuel to the fire. He directly ordered all the remaining troops of the entire brigade to launch a full-scale attack on the armored regiment that was breaking through. This brought great trouble to the armored regiment that was breaking through. Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua quickly mobilized troops to suppress the Japanese counterattack.

Because the Japanese's momentum this time was so great, it really brought huge obstacles to the armored regiment that was trying to break out. As a last resort, Li Yunlong had to order a pause in the breakout and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese who rushed down the mountain.

"Monk, bring the death squad and fight with me. No matter how much it costs, we must fight back the damn Japanese's last trick."

"Sanwazi, don't worry about the Japanese fighter planes in the sky. Aim all the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns at the incoming Japanese. We can't let these bastards get close to our vehicles."

"Zhang Dabiao, don't just stand there, increase the firepower of the armored forces. Even if you have to use up all the bullets and shells you carry, you have to fight back this round of attack by the damn Japanese."

"College student, the battle in the air is your responsibility. You must find ways to mobilize our fighter planes and stop the enemy's aviation raid. We must not let the enemy's aviation threaten the safety of the armored regiment."

"Old Zhao, hurry up and deliver the ammunition as soon as possible. If you are late, the soldiers will not be able to ensure the continuity of firepower!"

Under Li Yunlong's arrangement, the armored regiment launched a full-line counterattack, and even the air force battalion was no exception. They rushed towards the Japanese aircraft group like hungry wolves. The air battle between the enemy and us became even more brutal. The fighter planes in the sky fell like dumplings, and after landing on the ground, they exploded violently and caused a huge fire, posing a huge threat to the personnel below.

Yoshio Shinozuka of the Taiyuan Command had also been paying close attention to the battle situation on the front line. He had originally planned to send Yamamoto's special forces to participate in the battle, but unfortunately Yamamoto's special forces had not completed the airborne training and were unable to carry out airborne sabotage operations.

In order to create trouble for Kong Jie and Ding Wei, Shinozuka Yoshio once again ordered Dr. Neo to once again release biological weapons and poison gas bombs into the Zhaojiayu base to cause panic among the military and civilians in the base, in order to disrupt the base and support the Japanese in their operations on the front line.

"Lao Ding, we must increase the intensity of our attack. The damn Japs have completely adapted to our offensive rhythm. If we want to make a breakthrough, we can only deploy more troops. Otherwise, once the Japs come to their senses and switch to a full defensive position, they can fight on two fronts. By then, it will be at least twice as difficult for Lao Li and the others to withdraw!" Kong Jie suggested anxiously.

Ding Wei put down the telescope in his hand, picked up the kettle beside him, and took a big gulp. When he felt his dry throat was better, he said in agreement: "Old Kong, I agree with your proposal. We must change our tactics now and increase the offensive force of two battalions to four battalions directly, doubling the force and forcing the Japanese in the front to reduce the defensive force in the rear. This will greatly reduce the pressure on Li Yunlong's breakout."

"The Japanese are also very smart. Their camp is completely outside the coverage of our fortress artillery. I have just sent out the anti-aircraft battalion, intending to use anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns as assault firepower. If nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn't be a problem to break through the Japanese camp."

Ding Wei was full of confidence. Under his command, an anti-aircraft battalion, an artillery battalion, an armored battalion, and a mechanized infantry battalion formed an assault group and launched another attack on the Aoki Division. As Ding Wei expected, the Aoki Division did encounter big trouble this time. Faced with such fierce firepower, it was completely stunned, and some of the Japanese even retreated.

Junichi Aoki was not an easy character to deal with. After discovering that the troops were retreating, he quickly sent the reserve troops up and ordered the front-line supervisors to shoot anyone who dared to escape. The retreat of the Japanese was immediately controlled. A quarter of an hour later, the Japanese even organized a counterattack. The enemy and us were once again in a stalemate, which made Ding Wei very depressed. He did not expect that the Japanese in front of him would be so difficult to deal with.

When Chu Yunfei attacked Shentouling again, he also encountered huge trouble. In order to break through the Shentouling position as soon as possible, he no longer fought small battles as before, but directly mobilized his main force and also put his precious fighter jets into the battle to provide air fire support for the 358th Regiment.

"Brother Ligong, immediately give orders to the armored battalion and have them increase their firepower output. I have just sent two people to escort them. This time the armored battalion will be the main force of the attack. No matter what the cost, you have to take back the Shentouling position for me."

"Li Yunlong's armored regiment is breaking out in the direction of Erchaling. We must help them now, otherwise there will be no way to discuss the Shuiquan Oilfield."

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong swallowed back his rebuttal. The discovery of Shuiquan Oilfield had a huge impact on Shanxi Province. Oil was found in a place where oil was impossible to be found. In a similar situation, oil was likely to be found there. In order to dispel the devil's idea of ​​exploiting domestic oil, and to solve the problem of insufficient oil for the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and Shancheng, Shuiquan Oilfield had to be taken down no matter what. Li Yunlong became the key figure in this operation. They were all helping Li Yunlong to return to the base area.

"Captain Chu, I will go down and make arrangements right away. Before Li Yunlong arrives at the base, our 358th Regiment will not stop attacking the Japanese!"

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong also guaranteed that he would never make any trouble in this matter. Qian Bojun, who was eavesdropping outside, couldn't help but roll his eyes. He made a report and was called in by Chu Yunfei. After reporting the situation of the front-line attack, Qian Bojun hurriedly left the command center. He needed to inform Nakamura Ichiro and others of the news as soon as possible in exchange for money.

Nakamura Ichiro and others who were in Ping'an County breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Qian Bojun's telegram. With the entry of the 358th Regiment, the Aoki Detachment would become weaker, and it would be much easier for Li Yunlong to withdraw to the Zhaojiayu base. They would also be able to recover the balance from Li Yunlong and no longer have to worry like before.

"Yoshi! Since Chu Yunfei has already helped Li Yunlong, we can't just stand by and watch. Five million dollars is not easy to come by. We must take some actions to make Li Yunlong's retreat smoother."

"According to the news I just received, the Taiyuan Command has once again issued an order to use biological weapons. We can inform Li Yunlong of this news in advance and let him prepare in advance. As for the Yamamoto Special Forces, there is no need to say more. Yamamoto-kun is our close friend. We can't betray him at this time. That would be too much!" Hirata Kojiro said with some sigh.
