Chapter 386: The Japanese air force suffered a great loss yesterday and will definitely take revenge
Li Yunlong dozed off and suddenly heard a fierce gunfire. He shuddered and the sleepiness gradually disappeared. He asked angrily, "Monk, go and find out what happened. Could it be that the Japanese reinforcements have arrived?"
When the gunfire sounded, Wei Heshang suddenly woke up. When he was about to wake up Li Yunlong, he didn't expect that Li Yunlong had already woken up and immediately accepted Li Yunlong's order. When he was about to go to investigate, Duan Peng hurried over and reported anxiously: "Captain, something bad has happened. The fifth and sixth battalions were attacked by the devils, and more than 30 people were killed and wounded."
"The college students have already dispatched an armored company to rush over for support, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. The road is difficult to travel at night, and the armored company is patrolling nearby. It will take a quarter of an hour to get there. By that time, the battle may have been over and the Japanese would have already fled!"
The anger on Li Yunlong's face disappeared as if it had never appeared. He immediately spread out the map and looked at it with the help of the flashlight. Looking at the location pointed by Duan Peng, he immediately guessed that this was Yamamoto Ikki's revenge. Unexpectedly, the thing he was most worried about still happened. He immediately became alert.
"Order the fifth and sixth battalions to stay where they are. Use our firepower advantage to launch fire strikes on the possible hiding places of the devils! Order the armored company to continue patrolling the base and stop going to provide support. We must protect the people in the center and never let the devils succeed. We must never let down the people who trust us and must escort them safely to the base. Not a single casualty is allowed!"
"Order the artillery company to rush over for support immediately. Use our heavy mortars to bombard. Don't save your shells. Kill all these damn Japs. I have to reiterate one thing. No one is allowed to leave their post and pursue the enemy privately. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be beheaded on the spot!"
Duan Peng hurried down to pass on the order. Lin Zhenhua, who received the news, also contacted the armored company through the communication command vehicle, asking them to stop providing support and resume patrolling according to the planned route.
The night attack arranged by Yamamoto Ikki did not retreat because of the losses, but became more and more crazy, which made Li Yunlong extremely angry. However, in order to avoid greater losses, he had to continue to confront it, and the departure time was delayed again and again.
"College student, send a telegram to Lao Zhao immediately and ask him to dispatch two armored companies. Today I want to see how much trouble these little Japs can cause. The three armored companies will form a V-shaped formation to escort the team as they leave. If the little Japs dare to show their heads, they will be beaten severely!"
Li Yunlong had no intention of starting a large-scale war, but the Japanese were like a dog-skin plaster and he couldn't get rid of them. He could only mobilize more forces to carry out counter-harassment operations.
"Sun Desheng, you son of a bitch, stop hiding, protect the common people for me, and send them to Lao Zhang Village as soon as possible to join the main force!"
"College student, you are responsible for leading the way. Once you find any suspicious places, use machine guns and machine guns to fire a round of shots. I want to see how powerful the damn Yamamoto special forces are. Can they hold up?"
An hour later, two armored companies arrived and immediately escorted the team forward. Li Yunlong led the third company of the first armored battalion to launch a siege against Yamamoto's special forces. Li Yunlong relied on his battlefield intuition and adopted the tactic of stirring up trouble. He fought against the second squad of Yamamoto's special forces for three hours. When the time came to 12: in the morning, only people were left in the second squad of the special forces led by Junichi Watanabe, and the loss reached %.
But Junichi Watanabe was not frustrated, and his expression became more and more excited. After a night of bloody battle, those who survived were the real elites, and these people were the real backbone of the special forces. After completing Yamamoto Ikki's mission, Junichi Watanabe did not continue to harass. The ammunition they carried had been used up, and they had to go back to replenish ammunition before they could continue to fight Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong really saw how difficult the Yamamoto Special Forces were this time. He no longer looked down on this opponent like before, but treated it as a real opponent. In the night raid tonight, the independent team suffered heavy losses, with casualties reaching hundreds. This made Li Yunlong realize the shortcomings of his soldiers. Night raids were originally the specialty of the independent team, but now they were forced by the devils to use armored vehicles. From this, we can see to what extent the independent team's combat effectiveness has declined after the expansion this time.
"College student, it is much more dangerous during the day than at night. The Japanese air force suffered a great loss yesterday and will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity for revenge. We must be prepared for the Japanese's large-scale air raid!" Li Yunlong said solemnly while eating fried noodles.
Lin Zhenhua's expression was also very solemn. In the battle with the Japanese air force yesterday, the independent regiment lost half a battalion of troops, which was completely beyond his previous expectations. He knew that it was unrealistic to solve the problem of air defense by anti-aircraft artillery, but he did not expect that the loss of the troops would be so great, especially in the narrow area of the city. The power of the bombs seemed to be enhanced, and the effect was much stronger than the usual bombing.
"Lao Li, we really don't have any good way to deal with the Japanese air force right now. We can only continue to follow the air defense plan we made before. After I go back, I will definitely find a way to increase the production of fighter jets. Regardless of the performance of the fighter jets, we can only find a way to solve the problem with quantity. Otherwise, if we fight with the Japanese air force, we will basically have no ability to fight back!"
"The performance of the Thunder fighter is far inferior to that of the Japanese Zero fighter. Most of our achievements were made by our pilots flying their fighters and dying together with the Japanese. The pilots of the air force battalion have the courage to fight to the death. I will find a way to provide them with better fighters to reduce their losses!"
Li Yunlong expressed his understanding of this. Every time the Air Force Battalion went out, it meant there was no return. The repeated life-threatening attacks did not defeat the Air Force Battalion, but made the brothers of the Air Force Battalion train harder. They seized the limited four hours of training time every day and worked hard to hone their driving skills. They wanted to find the right opportunity to shoot down a Japanese fighter plane during the air battle with the Japanese. Li Yunlong knew this matter very well.
"College students, we have to go back and deal with this. Previously, we planned to return to the base in three days, but now it seems that three days is a bit tight. We must implement the backup plan and gather all our vehicles to start day and night transportation to send the people back to the base as soon as possible to ensure their safety!"
Lin Zhenhua immediately understood what Li Yunlong meant. He planned to temporarily abandon the transportation of supplies, first transport the people back to the base, and then transport the supplies back at night. This was indeed very feasible, but Kong Jie and Ding Wei could not retreat as scheduled and had to hold on for another five days. The danger would increase several times, which really made it difficult for Lin Zhenhua to make a decision.
"Lao Li, if we really do this, it will be like roasting Lao Ding and Lao Kong on the fire. If they can't hold out for five days and wait for our assistance, the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments will be in danger of being severely damaged by the Japanese."
"When they left, Lao Ding and Lao Kong only carried one and a half basic quantities of artillery shells, which is really too little. We must send a transport team to deliver them another basic quantity of ammunition. Only in this way can they hold out for five days without suffering too great a loss!"
Li Yunlong spread out the map and looked at it carefully, then gave the final order: "College students, do as you said just now. Immediately give orders to Lao Ding and Lao Kong, telling them to hold on for five days. Then I will lead two armored battalions to personally help them retreat."
Lin Zhenhua had no objection and sent the telegram immediately. Ding Wei and Kong Jie, who were having dinner, received the telegram almost at the same time. After seeing the content of the telegram, their reactions were different.
Ding Wei looked at the order given by Li Yunlong with a thoughtful look on his face. He immediately took out the map and checked the terrain nearby. When he found that the current terrain was the most suitable, he gave up the idea of retreating and planned to arrange for the soldiers to repair the position tonight.
"Niu Dazhu, pass on my order immediately. Follow the method taught by the university town before and make ice bricks for me to build a circular ice brick fortification. We have to defend for three days longer than expected. Everyone, cheer up. If anyone has diarrhea at this time, I will never forgive him!"
After receiving Li Yunlong's order, Kong Jie only deployed a battalion at the original position and buried a large number of mines on the road before he left with peace of mind.
"Damn it, Li Yunlong is really looking for trouble for me. I don't have any good defensive positions here. Right now, I can only delay time little by little, build layers of blocking defenses, avoid fighting with the main force of the devils, and reduce my own losses!"
Kong Jie and Ding Wei adopted opposite combat tactics, which was determined by the terrain they were defending. Li Yunlong did not give them any advice, as he was very confident in his two old comrades. To put it bluntly, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were not much weaker than him in leading troops to fight. The three of them could be said to be evenly matched, but their command styles were different.
"Lao Li, this is the telegram Lao Ding and Lao Kong just sent back. They have already started emergency deployment and promised to hold out for five days, so we can evacuate without worry. As long as the two are still alive, they will never let the Japanese army reach Ping'an County within five days. Finally, they reminded us to pay attention to the threat from the air and never act recklessly!"
