Chapter 353 Is it possible that Lin Tianchen will lead the team personally?
Linyun Road.
There is a small road leading to the city, and this place is rarely populated all year round.
But today, the sound of gunfire seemed unusually dense.
The air was filled with smoke and the yellow earth was flying.
In addition to the gunshots, Li Yunlong's cursing could be heard from a certain position.
"Damn it, we've been bitten, and there's an ambush up ahead. Zhang Dabiao, those traitors on the right wing, push forward!"
Li Yunlong lay on the battlefield and cursed. Since leaving the border, the three regiments had a bumpy march along the way, either on mountain paths or on paths overgrown with weeds.
The difficulty of the journey was one thing, as they had walked through grasslands after all. But what made Li Yunlong most angry was the Japanese's obstruction along the way, as their whereabouts were clearly exposed.
"How on earth did that damned Captain Lin manage to hide over 10,000 men right under the enemy's noses, and even march north after taking Baozhou?"
Li Yunlong couldn't understand why he had been very careful and listened to Ding Wei's marching suggestions, but still wasted a lot of time along the way.
Only after you have truly experienced it and gone north out of the Great Wall, you will understand how big the gap is compared to Lin Tianchen.
"Old Li, these devils are obviously stalling for time. If they keep fighting like this, their main force might catch up with us."
Ding Wei crouched down and said with a serious expression that the positional warfare between the Japanese and the Imperial Army was obviously a way to delay time.
Even on the battlefield, Ding Wei ordered the New 1st Regiment to retreat voluntarily, but the Japanese did not charge.
This was obviously a death order to delay them.
Now that the gunshots have been heard, the Japanese support will surely arrive quickly.
"I can't nag anymore. I can only break through." Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and spoke again after a slight pause:
"Let all three regiments use up their artillery shells at once! When bombing, all three regiments will charge together. Don't worry about the shells now. Don't delay, otherwise more than half of our men will be killed or wounded before we reach Jincheng."
Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said loudly that the current situation left him with no choice. Although there were casualties and he had stored the shells for a long time, if he did not break through, he would only get deeper and deeper into trouble here.
Ding Wei, who was standing by, heard this and understood the logic. He had originally thought of bringing some artillery shells to the Tiger Brigade to replenish their supplies.
But now it is obviously impossible to save it. We have been fighting like this all the way here. We are also thankful that the Tiger Guards Brigade held off the large Japanese army. Otherwise, they might have lost more than half of their men on the way, and it would be a question whether they could reach Jincheng.
But even so, the current situation is not optimistic.
Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie quickly conveyed the order, but just as the order was conveyed, bursts of fighting sounds suddenly appeared on the Japanese positions.
This made Li Yunlong and Ding Wei look at each other, and they immediately picked up the telescope in their hands and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, figures appeared on the distant hilltop. The sudden gunfire left the Japanese positions, which had just been impregnable, with no time to react. The firepower was extremely fierce. Although there were only a few mortars, the speed of the charge was very fast.
Fired from high above, the grenades drew graceful arcs, and a series of explosions raised clouds of dust, directly blocking the view of the Japanese positions, and bullets were unleashed on the Japanese positions.
Li Yunlong was very familiar with this style of fighting.
"The main force of the Tiger Brigade is here! Follow me and press forward with firepower!" Li Yunlong was the first to stand up with a light machine gun and rushed forward.
Ding Wei, who was standing by, looked at this familiar style of play, and his face instantly brightened up.
"How many cards does Lin Dadan have left? He even separated his main force. This charge, artillery coordination, and tactical play are all cut from the same mold as Lin Dadan. Could it be that Lin Dadan has arrived?"
Although Li Yunlong was launching a counterattack, after the Tiger Brigade broke through, he was no longer suppressed by heavy firepower and did not encounter much resistance at all.
Under the pressure of numbers, this group of Japanese soldiers and traitors were immediately defeated.
Even at this moment, bursts of sporadic gunshots rang out, and the figures of those soldiers reloading their guns made Li Yunlong shift his gaze.
He is very familiar with this style of play.
"Old Li, we've lost face this time." Ding Wei looked helpless. He had come to provide support, but now he was rescued by the Tiger and Leopard Brigade.
"Why are you sighing? Look at the fighting style. It's obviously the main force of the Tiger Guards Brigade. Don't you have any idea of our level and the level of the Tiger Guards Brigade?"
Although Li Yunlong felt a little uncomfortable, he had fought with Lin Tianchen in northwest Shanxi for so long, so he knew very well the combat strength of the Tiger Guard Brigade.
The fact that they were able to annihilate 30,000 Kwantung troops in a single battle without any support in the three northeastern provinces where the Japanese had been operating for more than ten years is enough to illustrate the problem.
Although Li Yunlong was tough in words, the reality was before him and no matter how tough he was, it was of no avail.
"I didn't expect that Old Li, who had been tough for most of his life, would soften his words one day." After Kong Jie got strong support, he felt a little relieved.
"Fuck you, hurry up and follow me."
After saying that, Li Yunlong watched the Japanese retreat and did not get entangled with them too much. Now his most important task was for his several regiments to rush to Jincheng as quickly as possible and meet up with the Tiger Brigade.
The Japanese set up layers of blocking attacks because they were afraid that the Tiger Brigade's troops would be replenished. Anyone with a discerning eye could see this.
However, facing the rescue team, Li Yunlong looked a little curious.
"Which group do you think this is?"
"When charging, it looks like the First Regiment; when defeating the army, it looks like the Second Regiment. It also has some shadows of the Third Regiment, and is more like an enhanced version of the Fourth Regiment..." Ding Wei thought about it, but finally shook his head.
He was very familiar with every regiment of the Tiger Guards Brigade, otherwise all the previous case analyses would have been in vain.
However, the team in front of him was obviously from the Tiger Brigade, but for a moment he couldn't be sure which regiment of the Tiger Brigade it was.
"Is it possible that Lin Tianchen is leading the team himself?" Kong Jie couldn't help but say. After all, the way this team plays is too much like the one commanded by Lin Tianchen himself.
"Impossible, how could he escape from the Jincheng battlefield..." Li Yunlong denied without hesitation.
The importance of the Jincheng battlefield is clearly demonstrated by the fact that their large army is moving north.
Their fundamental purpose of going north is to help Lin Tianchen control Jincheng. The Japanese devils on the current Jincheng battlefield will definitely not let Lin Tianchen have an easy time.
They will try every possible way to limit the combat effectiveness of Lin Tianchen and the Tiger Guards, just like cutting off the transportation line. If things go wrong, the logistics of the Tiger Guards Brigade may become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese.
They were chased by the Japanese and moved everywhere.
Li Yunlong's words also made Ding Wei and Kong Jie agree. After all, the importance of Jincheng is related to the situation in the entire Northeast, and even extends to the Jin-Cha-Yi region.
Once this strategy succeeds, the Japanese in a large area of Peking and Jingmen will be in constant fear. After all, all their retreat routes, except for sea transportation, have been cut off.
Having fought many battles with the Huben Brigade, they knew very well that the Huben Brigade wanted to send all these enemies to meet their doom.
