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

Chapter 669: After this battle is over, I will prepare a table of delicious food for the two of us t

Pingding Gold Mine, Yamamoto Regiment Temporary Command Headquarters.

Yamamoto Ikki, who was forced to take on the task, was directly appointed as the commander of the newly formed regiment. Of the four battalions assigned to him, only two and a half battalions were in place. The remaining battalion encountered an all-round interception by Lin Zhenhua and was caught in a tough battle. It was impossible to reach the Pingding Gold Mine in a short period of time.

"Sir, the First Infantry Battalion and the Second Infantry Battalion have arrived, but only half of the Artillery Battalion has arrived. The Third Infantry Battalion encountered fierce enemy interception, and now only has two squadrons left. The two artillery squadrons that have not arrived have also suffered heavy losses in the artillery battle, and now only one artillery squadron is left."

"If nothing unexpected happens, two infantry squadrons plus an artillery squadron will not be able to break through the enemy's concentrated fire attack. We must prepare in advance to be isolated and helpless." Lieutenant Colonel Kojiro Matsui bowed and reported.

Yamamoto Ikki suppressed his inner irritation. He had previously anticipated that the infiltrating troops would definitely encounter enemy resistance, but he did not expect the enemy's resistance to be so fierce. This made his face look gloomy.

"Order all squadrons to begin repairs immediately, collect the weapons and ammunition left behind by the mine protection squadron, and be ready to attack at any time."

"Mr. Matsumoto, you must lead the special forces to conduct reconnaissance immediately. Find out the enemy's troop strength and firepower deployment. Once we find the enemy's weak points, we will launch an attack!"

Under the command of Yamamoto Ikki, the Japanese reacted very quickly, relying on the existing terrain to build fortifications and prepare for a long-term defense. Matsumoto Ichiro led the special forces to investigate, and gradually figured out the deployment of the militia. They soon found many weak points and immediately launched a surprise attack, burning hundreds of combat supplies.

The two militia battalions were directly crippled, and the Japanese special forces also paid a heavy price. Of the two attacking special forces squadrons, only less than 100 people returned in the end, which shows how fierce the battle between the two sides was.

"College students, the last two reserve teams of the militia regiment have all been lost. We can no longer provide any military support to the front line. It will take another two days for the new regiment to arrive south, which means that the independent regiment must hold on for two days." Duan Peng reported in an anxious tone.

Lin Zhenhua was really caught off guard this time by the Japanese, but fortunately he had already learned of the Japanese gathering place. He immediately mobilized a tank battalion, two armored vehicle battalions, and the last militia battalion to besiege the Pingding Gold Mine.

"Communicator, get me through to the head of the group immediately and tell him something important!

"Duan Peng, you must immediately take a company of soldiers and two armored vehicle companies, and deliver these 60-plus vehicles of weapons and ammunition to Niangzi Pass at all costs."

The communicator handed the intercom to Lin Zhenhua. Lin Zhenhua wiped the sweat from his forehead, took it directly, and said in a serious tone: "Lao Li, more than 2000 Japanese soldiers have sneaked in. They have set up camp in Pingding Gold Mine. Other small infiltration units of the Japanese soldiers have been beaten back by me. I have mobilized four battalions of troops to besiege Pingding Gold Mine to prevent the Japanese soldiers from attacking us from both inside and outside and attacking our weak rear!"

"It will take another two days for the new regiment to reach the front line. The independent regiment must find a way to hold on for another two days. I will send an urgent telegram to Lao Zhao and ask him to airlift two battalions of soldiers over tonight to replenish the manpower consumed at the front line!"

Li Yunlong's loud voice came from the communication area, and the sound of gunfire could be vaguely heard: "College student, I still have seven battalions of troops. There is absolutely no problem in holding out for two days. It's just that the consumption of ammunition is too high. You talk to Lao Zhao and ask him to send some ammunition. Our land transportation line is very unsafe. We can only use air transportation to solve the current dilemma."

"We have produced a large number of wooden transport planes before, and they can be put to use right now. There is no fighting in the county town behind us, so you can give me some of their weapons and ammunition to hold off the enemy's attack first!"

"Niangzi Pass has become a meat grinder. The Japanese's attack is very fierce. Yesterday, they only sent out a brigade, but today they directly sent out a division, plus a puppet army division. Six positions have been occupied by the Japanese. I have already hit two battalions of troops and am preparing to launch a counterattack. No matter what, we must knock down the Japanese's spirit first."

"The Pingding Gold Mine is a very important location. We must block the Japanese inside no matter what. We must not let them escape. Otherwise, the independent regiment will be attacked from both sides. Facing the Japanese attack from both sides, even if the soldiers are made of iron, they will not be able to hold on for long before they collapse."

"Not to mention that half of my troops are new recruits who can only shoot but not do basic tactical moves. This has led to heavy casualties in the troops. However, after one or two bloody battles, new recruits can be transformed into veterans. The battlefield is the best place to train people."

Lin Zhenhua looked at the time. There were still four hours before dark. He immediately checked the air force regiment's battle report and found that there were still two fighter squadrons that had not participated in the battle. He immediately issued a combat order, ordering the two fighter squadrons to rush to the front line to participate in the battle and relieve the pressure on the defenders of Niangzi Pass.

"Old Li, I just assigned two fighter squadrons to you to attack the Japanese infantry. You must hold on and not let the Japanese succeed!"

Li Yunlong wiped off his sweat that smelled of gunpowder, laughed happily and said, "College students, don't worry about me. I, Li Yunlong, have fought in so many battles, but I have never felt so happy as today. Two regiments of soldiers directly confronted two divisions of the Japanese. This was something I never dared to dream of before, but I didn't expect it to be realized today."

"Let's not waste any more time talking nonsense. Two more positions have been breached by the Japanese. I have to lead my men to take them back myself. After this battle is over, we will have a good meal together. I will then use my two-month allowance to treat you..."

The communication was suddenly interrupted at this time, and the radio antenna was blown off. Li Yunlong led two battalions of troops to launch a counterattack, cutting off the follow-up support of the devils. Wei Heshang took this opportunity to attack the position and engaged in close combat with the devils in the position. At the cost of more than 200 people's sacrifice, he successfully recaptured the two lost positions and saved the precarious situation!
