There was not much time left for the Eighth Route Army, and it was precisely because of time considerations that Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade sent out the 772nd Regiment, the main force of his brigade, without even thinking about it.

Brigadier Chen's order to the head of the 772 regiment Cheng Cheng was very clear: No matter how you fight, I must give me eight hours to destroy this Yamazaki brigade.

Eight hours, this is already the most time that the Eighth Route Army headquarters can buy for the 772 regiment.

So when the battle started, Captain Cheng didn't hesitate, and had no choice, and directly gave the order to the whole regiment to charge:

Take Lijiapo at all costs and annihilate the Yamazaki brigade.

The cruel Lijiapo battle finally started

But the battle seemed unsatisfactory from the very beginning.

Since the road to Lijiapo is the only one, although the 386nd Regiment, the main force of the 772th Brigade, is a reinforced regiment with more than 2000 troops, it has registered a regular battle order with the Guojun.

But the strength of the whole regiment could not be deployed at all, and there was only one way to charge. A vanguard company of the 772 regiment had just rushed to Lijiapo, but was suppressed by the crazy machine gun fire of the Yamazaki brigade. In time, there were not many soldiers left in a company, and even the company commander died on the way to lead the charge.

The follow-up assault troops continued to press on, but the firepower of the Yamazaki Brigade was like endless tongues of flames. With the only narrow road that could go up to Lijiapo as the only firepower coverage point, the soldiers of the 772 regiment were like moths to the flame. Suicide.

The sudden heavy casualties made Tuan Zhang's eyes shattered, and his heart felt like a knife was twisted. In desperation, he had to issue an order to retreat temporarily.

In this way, the Yamazaki Battalion easily withstood the first wave of attacks from the 772nd regiment.

In the next two hours, the brave and fearless 772 regiment launched three consecutive violent attacks. Unfortunately, all of them ended in failure under the fierce firepower of the Yamazaki brigade. Several attacks have directly wiped out a battalion.

On the other hand, the Yamazaki Brigade only lost some ammunition, and the casualties were almost negligible.

Just want to use up the ammunition of the Yamazaki Battalion through a war of attrition?

Wishful thinking, Yamazaki Zhihei brought several times the ammunition this time, enough to support his Yamazaki brigade for two days and fight several large-scale battles.

If it is filled with human lives, all the soldiers of the 772 regiment will be dead, and the ammunition of the Yamazaki brigade will not be consumed much.

In the heart of Captain Cheng, he was finally a little flustered at this moment. He did not expect that the Yamazaki brigade would be such a difficult nut to crack.

But why did the Yamazaki brigade, which is so difficult to crack, stumble and kill more than 100 people in the hands of the guard battalion and commando?

Leader Cheng couldn't figure out the reason, but he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in the comparison between the two.

It doesn't matter that Li Yunlong is powerful, but a small team under him is actually so amazing.

Unconvinced in his heart, Captain Cheng ordered the whole regiment to launch a charge against the command of the headquarters to destroy the Yamazaki brigade.

164 Main Attack Replacement

Yamazaki Zhihei's military command level is very high, and the military position he built is a V-shaped trench.

The firepower concentration point of this V-shaped trench is the only road that can go up to Lijiapo, and it can deal the most severe blow to the enemy charging from this small road.

Not only that, but the terrain of Lijiapo is peculiar. Yamazaki Zhihei set up the military trench in the middle of Lijiapo. When the 772 regiment was at the bottom of Lijiapo, it was impossible to attack the Yamazaki brigade at all.

As soon as the assault troops of the 772 regiment showed up, the Yamazaki brigade poured down with the most violent firepower. Coupled with the bombing of the superior artillery, the casualties of the assault troops of the 772 regiment continued to expand.

During the eighth and final charge, Captain Cheng said decisively to Brigadier Chen over the phone: "Brigade Commander, let me charge with my comrades again, the little devil can hardly hold on anymore, this time I If you still can't fight, I won't come back alive to see you."

The soldiers of the 772 regiment were completely crazy because of the determination of the head of the regiment. The soldiers charged towards the Japanese army's position in Lijiapo as if they were desperate.

Yamazaki Zhihei commanded the battle with a command knife in his hand. His calm old face seemed calm, but his heart was full of dignity.

The main force of this Eighth Route Army is a unit that dares to fight tough battles. Once they are allowed to rush to the position, his Yamazaki Brigade is not far from being wiped out.

He didn't care about keeping the ammunition, and Yamazaki Zhihei gave the Japanese army an order to shoot regardless of ammunition in a roar.

More than a dozen grenades emptied more than 10 grenades within 200 minutes.

Under the unprecedented fierce firepower of the Yamazaki Brigade, human willpower failed to resist the cruelty of reality after all, and the eighth charge of the 772 regiment was still repelled.

In order to save Commander Cheng, his bodyguard blocked a bullet for him. If not, Commander Cheng would have died on the charge of Lijiapo as he swore to Brigadier Chen.

The generals at all levels of the Eighth Route Army who watched the battle were anxious. Brigadier Chen saw the battle through the binoculars and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. This time, the 772nd regiment might not be able to do it. Who would have thought that a mere Japanese army, Yamazaki The brigade, the combat effectiveness can be so strong?

Battalion Commander Liu, who was watching the battle, was so angry that he punched the dark ground and cursed, "Damn it, it was shot down again. This little devil is really a tough nut to crack."

The 772 regiment launched eight violent charges within a few hours, causing more than one-third of the regiment's casualties, but even so, it seemed that only one-third of the Yamazaki brigade's strength was consumed.

These two thirds are not the same thing, the bases are fundamentally different, and the real battle loss ratio between the enemy and the enemy has almost reached 8:1.

Battalion Commander Liu was really shocked at this time. It was such a powerful Yamazaki brigade that lost more than 100 people in the hands of one of his guard battalions not long ago.

Battalion Commander Liu couldn't help but look at Han Feng beside him a few times. Even in the face of such a big battle, this young man's face was still calm at this moment, as if nothing in this world could make him As if in a panic.

"Comrade Madman, what do you think Captain Cheng will do next?"

"It can't be fought anymore. The 772 regiment has lost its edge. This kind of refueling tactic that does not count casualties is of no avail under the powerful firepower of the Japanese army."

Battalion Commander Liu was surprised: "Then what about the Yamazaki brigade? Do we just watch it go on arrogantly?"

Han Feng said: "Wait! There will be a turning point. We don't have much time left now, and the brigade commander can only do something strange." "Pick up the call from the independent regiment. I want to find Li Yunlong."

"Brigade Commander, hey, it's me, I'm Li Yunlong!"

"Li Yunlong, I heard that you started scolding your mother in the independent group, even the political commissar?"

"How can it be! Brigadier, we are the good babies under the brigade commander. We can do whatever the brigade commander asks us to do. I can't scold my mother in the independent regiment just because the brigade commander didn't give the main attack task to our independent regiment. Let's go! How is this going to happen?"

"Okay, don't you dare to turn the corner and blame me. When you fight, the 772 regiment's attack fails. I'm going to send you to the independent regiment. It's just one thing. You, Li Yunlong, have memorized it for me. Let you go. OK, if you can't beat it"

"Brigade Commander, you can twist my head off and use it as a chamber pot." Li Yunlong promised on the other end of the phone.

Even in this extremely urgent situation, Brigadier Chen couldn't help laughing because of Li Yunlong's words: "You should keep your head to yourself! I can't use such a big chamber pot."

Brigadier Chen put down the phone, looked at the deputy brigade commander and the political commissar, and couldn't help laughing again.

The deputy brigade commander said: "Brigade commander, you are going to let that kid Li Yunlong go up!"

Brigadier Chen nodded and said: "This battle has almost become a joke, so I can only start betting."

The political commissar said with a smile: "Li Yunlong has a lot of tricks in fighting wars, and now this is the only way to go. Let the independent regiment come up and try it! If it doesn't work, we can only retreat and give up the Yamazaki brigade."

"A main regiment fought for several hours, and finally gave up the Yamazaki brigade? My 386 brigade can't afford to lose this person."

After Brigadier Chen finished speaking, he rushed to the front command observation point with a telescope, his resolute face was full of absolute determination.

Half an hour later, he saw the independent regiment's team through the telescope.

"Commissioner, pass down the order. As soon as the independent regiment arrives, all the artillery of the brigade headquarters will fire, and I will not leave a single shell behind."

"Yes!"
