Chapter 406: Commander, I Want the Center to Bloom
"The tactics used by this brigade of the Japanese devils were very rigid, and the commander was not able to adapt on the spot.
After leaving behind 112 bodies, they retreated to the Lijiaopo Heights and held their ground waiting for help.
Boss, please don't look at me like that. These are Ding Wei's original words. I didn't add a single word."
Deputy Commander: "Everyone says Ding Wei is arrogant because of his talent, but I didn't expect he is so naughty and dares to say anything.
He has already shown a 1:20 casualty ratio, and he still dares to say such things?"
Deputy Chief of General Staff: “When he said this, I couldn’t believe it.
Later I learned that it was the Seventh Company that found a good place.
The Japanese invaded our hinterland and when they saw the logistics hospital, they attacked without any regard for the consequences.
He did not care about the guards behind him and immediately ordered the Seventh Company to disrupt the Japanese from behind.
In order to prevent the logistics hospital from suffering any damage, they directly charged forward with six Czech-style cannons.
"Six Czech-style guns? A company in his new regiment has six Czech-style guns?
Unexpectedly, Ding Wei made a fortune without making any noise.
You have to know that our regiments only have two or three light and heavy machine guns in a company. "
Deputy Chief of General Staff: "We have only just begun, Boss, you don't know.
This company also has two heavy machine guns to provide support in the rear.
The soldiers held six grenade launchers and fired them as they ran, which stunned the Japanese.
In addition, Ding Wei's main force had already arrived, and the Japanese retreated to Lijiaopo in a panic.
The reason why that spearhead squad appeared was because of such heavy casualties.
It was also because they were afraid of the Japanese who bombarded our headquarters hospital.
That's why they rushed the Japanese artillery positions at all costs.
That’s why the Japanese attacked the squadron guarding the artillery and caused it to lose half of its combat effectiveness.”
Deputy Commander-in-Chief: “Comrades are all good comrades. Let the doctors in the hospital do their best to rescue the wounded.
Also, bring up the several numbered regiments, the First Death Column, and the Independent Regiment near the headquarters.
The little Japanese are so arrogant that they dare to penetrate deep into our base with only a half-baked battalion. I will make sure they never return."
The deputy chief of staff said: "Commander, Ding Wei seems to have known your decision.
He said that you don't need to worry about this matter, because the new group has taken care of this nasty Yamazaki Squadron."
"He's so arrogant. I remember last month, his new regiment had less than 2,000 troops.
Although they have the advantage in numbers, the Japanese are not pushovers.
It would be bad if some of them escaped and harmed the people in our base.
How about this, let’s also bring Kong Jie’s independent regiment up, so that we have double insurance.
Even if we can’t wipe out the Yamazaki Battalion right now, at least we won’t let any more of them escape.”
The Eighth Route Army headquarters is now more powerful and ruthless, and there are more elite troops under it.
This is not just any ordinary cat or dog that you can mess with.
That’s because Li Yunlong’s quick reaction brigade was too far away from the headquarters.
Otherwise, just send out Li Yunlong to deal with this brigade.
That's why the deputy commander was so angry with the commander of the reinforced company.
You have such strength, why are you running?
As long as we can block the Yamazaki Battalion in the narrow gap for an hour.
The headquarters can transfer a regiment to the entrance, and the Japanese can be consumed and killed in the narrow gap.
As a result, the company commander ran away with his men, which not only caused subsequent troubles, but also made Song Wenwan a laughing stock.
Deputy Commander: "Hey, Commander Xiao Song, you finally came to my place, but I made a fool of yourself.
Commander Xiao Song, Commander Xiao Song...Where did Commander Song go? Did anyone see him? "
At this time, a staff officer came in from outside. When he heard that the boss was looking for Song Wenwan, he quickly reported to the boss.
"Commander, Commander Song has left?"
"Gone? When did he leave? Did he say what he was going to do?"
“When we talked about Yixiantian’s failure just now, he left with his guard company.
He said, he said he was just going to Lijiapo to see what was going on, and told you not to worry.
“This little guy is just making a fuss. What are you doing at the frontline as a theater commander?
Hurry up and send someone to find him back. It's too late. Inform Ding Wei and ask him to protect Commander Xiao Song."
At this moment, Song Wenwan was working at full speed!
While hurrying on the road, he was hoping in his heart that Ding Wei would not knock Yamazaki down and would wait for him to arrive at the scene.
This Lijiaopo is a famous scene for showing off one's sword, and points for defeating the Japanese are absolutely indispensable, so one must get involved in it.
Seeing the new group surrounding them in a hurry, Captain Yamazaki, who had a very clever way of thinking, was delighted instead.
The terrain here at Lijiaopo is good. The mountains on the other three sides are steep, and only one side is a gentle slope.
He did not send soldiers to defend the ridge of the hillside.
Instead, the circular fortifications were built just inside the top of Lijiaopo.
The biggest advantage of doing this is that they only need to hide in the trenches.
They will attack anyone who shows up on the ridge.
To the greatest extent possible, it can reduce the casualties of our own soldiers.
It can also help him complete his plan and add another chip.
His plan is to use himself as bait and start a battle that will start a big fight!
The old devil Yamazaki is already forty years old this year and has been working as the captain for nearly ten years.
This guy is too rigid and self-willed, and there is absolutely no room for improvement.
Their classmates who graduated in the same class, for example, Captain Sakata who was killed by Li Yunlong.
He is about to be promoted to brigade commander, but he is still wasting time as a battalion commander.
It is said that Yamazaki's name is on the list of discharges in August this year.
At this time, how could a 40-year-old captain be retired?
If he went back to his hometown in Hokkaido, he would be laughed at to death.
Therefore, during this raid on the Eighth Route Army's base, other brigades all marched armed and went back after just pretending to do so.
Only his brigade rushed forward all the way, and then they lost their way and accidentally passed through the narrow gap.
Now that he was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army at Lijiaopo, he was not in a hurry anymore.
He immediately called Commander Yoshio Shinozuka of the Taiyuan First Army.
At this point, a telegram announcing the discovery of the Eighth Route Army Hospital was placed on Yoshio Shinozuka's desk.
"What? We found the Eighth Route Army's logistics hospital? Request the First Army to cooperate with them.
Do we also need to cooperate with his plan to wipe out the Eighth Route Army's headquarters officers in one fell swoop?
Who is this arrogant guy? Didn't Sakata-kun die in battle? Who is so arrogant? "
Seeing his commander's confusion, his staff officer Ono quickly explained.
"Commander, this telegram is from Captain Yamazaki Shihei of the 9th Mixed Brigade.
They got lost during the raid yesterday and accidentally crossed a valley.
There they discovered the Eighth Route Army's rear hospital.
According to the Eighth Route Army's previous practice, their rear hospitals and headquarters operated together.
In addition, when they were about to take action, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Eighth Route Army.
That's why he concluded that the Eighth Route Army's headquarters must be there.
That's why he chose to hold out at Lijiaopo and wait for reinforcements in order to contain the Eighth Route Army.
Once we surround the Eighth Route Army headquarters from the outside, we can wipe out the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop."
