Ding Wei glanced at Li Yunlong and asked instead, "Do you think the little devil is taking the initiative to attack?"

Before Li Yunlong could speak, Ding Wei asked and answered himself: "No, they are trying to launch a breakout!"

Li Yunlong was stunned: "Are you saying that the Japs are preparing to break out?"

Ding Wei: "I have just carefully observed the attack position of the Japanese 4th Brigade. If it is true, as brother Wang Chengzhu said, that the entire Japanese 4th Brigade is dispatched this time, then their current casualties are at least more than half.

"

"Therefore, with the current strength of the Japanese 4th Brigade, it may still be able to defeat the Independent Battalion, but it will definitely not be able to defeat the Independent Battalion plus the other battalions of your new regiment, as well as our independent regiment."

"Breaking out is the only option for the Japanese 4th Brigade."

"I just didn't expect that the old devil Nishiyama Masao would be so decisive. After being surrounded by us, he didn't hesitate at all and chose to break out!"

"That's why I said that old devil Nishiyama Masao is an extremely difficult guy!"

After listening to this, Li Yunlong nodded in agreement and said, "From your analysis, this Nishiyama Masao is really cunning."

"Old Ding, what do you think we should do now?"

Ding Wei: "Nishiyama Masao wants to break out, of course we can't let his conspiracy succeed!"

"Therefore, we should immediately rely on favorable terrain to block the attack."

"In addition, if my guess is correct, with Brother Zhuzi's strategic vision, once he finds out that Masao Nishiyama wants to break out, he will definitely launch an attack from the rear and poke the little devil in the eye."

"And as long as we delay until the 772nd and 771st regiments arrive, we will definitely be able to wipe out the remnants of the Japanese 4th Brigade in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but frown: "In this case, Blind Cheng will have to take away half of the benefits."

"Old Li, your ideological consciousness still needs to be improved..." Zhao Gang, the political commissar next to him, wanted to persuade, but was interrupted by Li Yunlong just as he started.

"Come on, Lao Zhao, don't educate me anymore. I feel like my ears are ringing from your words." Li Yunlong said angrily: "You must tell me again that a flower blooming alone is not spring.

Hundreds of flowers are blooming and the garden is full of spring. As long as the fighting power of our new regiment and family becomes stronger, we will not be able to defeat the little devil.

The combat effectiveness of our entire 386th Brigade, and even the entire Eighth Route Army, must be improved before we can completely eliminate the little devils and completely liberate all of China."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, because this was exactly what he wanted to say.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie stood aside and smiled without saying a word.

…

The other side.

The forward position of the Independence Battalion.

Wang Chengzhu also noticed the sound of firefights coming from the Japanese attack position.

Chen Xi, the third company commander next to him, asked doubtfully: "Battal Commander, why are there sounds of firefights over there with the Japs? Could it be that there is internal strife among the Japs?"

Wang Chengzhu: "What are you thinking about? Counting the time, it's probably the group leader and the others who have arrived."

Chen Xiyixi: "Here are the group leaders? That's great!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the commander of the reconnaissance company, Wang Shugen, hurried over along the communication trench: "The battalion commander, regimental commander and regimental commander Ding have led reinforcements and are now at war with the Japanese."

Wang Chengzhu nodded to express his understanding.

Chen Xi asked: "Batalion Commander, what should we do now?"

Wang Chengzhu did not speak, but came to a high point, raised his telescope and looked towards the location of the exchange of fire.

After waiting for a moment, he observed and said: "Looking at it like this, it's probably the old devil Nishiyama Masao who realized something was wrong and wanted to break out and escape."

"Pass my order and the artillery battery will fire at full speed immediately. Suppress the little devil's artillery position for me!"

"In addition, the third company, the fourth company, the fifth company, follow me to launch an attack from the front!"

"The first company, the second company, the county brigades, the district brigades, and the militia teams, outflank them from the left and right wings and cut off the Japanese's retreat!

Remember, be careful to avoid the minefields!”

The few messengers next to them took notes one by one, then turned around and left.

…

In the previous battle, the artillery company commander Liu Qiang had basically locked the artillery position of the Japanese 4th Brigade. After receiving the order at this time, he immediately concentrated his firepower and carried out a covering bombardment.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In an instant, dense artillery shells, like free meteorites, landed on the Japanese artillery positions one after another, blasting horrifying and terrifying craters on the ground one after another.

Although most of the shells missed, some still landed on the enemy's artillery positions, immediately blowing away all the enemy soldiers and weapons near the impact point.

Before the person even hit the ground, he was already dead.

Over there is the new group.

Li Yunlong noticed the explosion coming from the direction of the Japanese artillery position, and quickly realized that it must be the artillery of the Independent Battalion.

He couldn't help but cursed with a look of pain on his face: "Wang Chengzhu is such a loser! Those artillery pieces on the Japanese artillery positions are treasures, they can't be ruined like this."

"Cease fire, give me a cease fire quickly!"

Kong Jie next to him said angrily: "Old Li, what are you barking at? Brothers Zhuzi suppressed the Japanese artillery fire and greatly reduced the casualties of our army. Isn't this good?"

"Are the lives of our brothers inferior to those little Japanese cannons?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately retorted: "Kong Er is stupid, when the spoils are divided up later, you kid, don't grab the artillery!"

"I'm telling you, these are two different things!"

"Do you know how much casualties we can reduce in future battles if we have an extra artillery piece?"

In terms of verbal fighting skills, Kong Jie can't compare to Li Yunlong in any way, and what Li Yunlong said is also very reasonable.

Therefore, Kong Jie was directly rebuffed and lost his temper.

…

The other side.

Regiment 772 and Regiment 771 have already passed through Xihe Township, which is only about an hour away from Wangjiacun.

Along the way, Cheng Xiazi kept urging the troops to speed up their advance.

"Quick, quick! Speed ​​up, keep speeding up! The New Group and the Independent Group have already run ahead of us. We can't run in vain and let them take away all the loot!"

Xu Shengji next to him said angrily: "Old Cheng, are you here to reinforce the independent camp, or are you here to rob? Why are you only looking at the loot?"

Cheng Xiazi: "Of course it is to reinforce the independent battalion, but it is also for the equipment in the hands of the Japanese 4th Brigade."

"Don't say that you only do good deeds and don't seek fame or fortune. If that's the case, then when the benefits are divided later, I will help you get your share."

Xu Shengji: "..."

Cheng Xiazi: "That's it, let's hurry up!"
