Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

As the Japanese military radio signal flashed frequently.

The telecommunications room at the headquarters also suddenly became busy, and the ticking sound kept ringing.

"Boss, according to the intelligence coming from everywhere, all the Japanese troops around Yushe County have been dispatched and are rushing towards Yushe County like crazy." Chief of Staff Zuo walked into the headquarters war room with several telegrams.

"It seems that Li Yunlong succeeded." The boss looked solemn, "I knew that this kid Li Yunlong has many clever ideas in war!"

Chief of Staff Zuo agreed: "Yes, the Black Island Regiment is an established cavalry regiment, and it was actually captured by the independent regiment."

The boss asked: "Have the two main regiments of the 386th Brigade entered the designated position?"

"The 771st Regiment, 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade, as well as the artillery battalion and cavalry battalion." Chief of Staff Zuo said, "They entered the ambush position at Guitou Ridge before dawn."

The boss said categorically: "Then follow plan No. 2 and let me fight. Send an order. If anyone lets a Japanese invader into Yushe County, I will kill him!"

…

Yushe County, East Gate.

Because of the lack of suppressive weapons such as machine guns and mortars.

Two companies of the fourth battalion, approaching No. 300 people, were 300 meters away from the city gate, shooting at the city wall while building an attack position.

However, the Black Island Regiment also lacked heavy machine guns, and even the mortars were all destroyed. There were only a few crooked machine guns that sprayed flames on the towers, which could not form an effective suppression at all.

The bunkers outside the city were successively destroyed by the mountain artillery of the independent regiment half a month ago, and they had not had time to be rebuilt.

Suddenly, the city gate opened.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed out from the city, ran to the foot of the city tower, relied on the sandbags built up, and set up three crooked machine guns to shoot at the surrounding troops of the independent regiment.

The crackling bullets were fired, and the soldiers were immediately suppressed and unable to raise their heads.

Then, more than thirty Japanese cavalrymen wearing yellow woolen cloaks rushed out from the city gate, holding sabers and charging out fiercely.

The soldiers picked up their rifles and shot at the Japanese cavalry against the hail of bullets.

However, without firepower such as light and heavy machine guns, and being suppressed by crooked machine guns, it was difficult to pose a threat to the Japanese cavalry. The Japanese cavalry quickly rushed forward.

The Japanese cavalry rushed past, their blades flashing, and they brought out bloody arrows one after another.

In less than a moment, more than thirty soldiers of the Fourth Battalion fell under the sabers of the Japanese cavalry.

However, the soldiers did not take a step back. They held bayonets in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese cavalry with determination on their faces.

If you can't stab people, then stab the soldiers and horses.

Watching this scene at the city gate, Kuroshima Morita and Akamoto Akihiro looked overjoyed and ordered a breakout.

More than a hundred Japs roared out of the city gate and rushed toward the Fourth Battalion's position.

As long as we break through this line of defense, break out towards Liao County, and join up with the supporting troops, we will be completely safe!

At this critical moment, Sun Desheng arrived with his cavalry company.

The soldiers of the cavalry company raised their Yunlong knives and rushed towards the Japanese cavalry with fierce expressions.

The soldiers of the fourth battalion dispersed in a hurry.

Immediately, the cavalry company collided with the Kwantung Army cavalry.

Accompanied by a crisp clang of sabers clashing, the Kwantung Army cavalry kept screaming and falling off their horses.

Even if the number is one to one, the cavalry company can easily defeat the Japanese cavalry with the help of the Yunlong Sword.

What's more, when the troops were overwhelming, more than 20 Kwantung Army cavalry were wiped out in just one round.

Then, the soldiers of the cavalry company raised their sabers and charged fiercely towards the Japanese who were preparing to break out.

Seeing this scene, Kuroshima Morita and Akamoto Akiyoshi, as well as the Japanese cavalry who had lost their horses, stopped abruptly while running, and their expressions changed drastically.

"retreat!"

"Retreat to the city!"

Kuroshima Morita waved his command sword and ordered to escape into the city.

The four Japanese soldiers lay down on the spot, set up two light machine guns, and fired at the cavalry company to cover their retreat.

The light machine gun screamed wildly, and four or five cavalry company soldiers were shot by bullets and fell off their horses.

There were also Japanese light machine guns pouring bullets below and on the towers, and the bullets were raining down on the cavalry company like a rain of bullets.

"Stop!"

"retreat!"

Sun Desheng immediately gave the order to retreat, and the cavalry company immediately moved out of the range of the Japanese machine guns.

The task given by the regiment commander to the cavalry company is to prevent the Japanese in the county from escaping. As long as the Japanese are blocked in the county, the cavalry company will have completed its mission.

Being frightened by the cavalry company, the Japanese immediately retreated into the city and closed the city gates.

The remaining thirty or so Kwantung Army cavalry died in battle, completely eliminating the possibility of Kuroshima Morita and Akamoto Akiyoshi breaking out.

As the independent regiment's large troops arrived with machine guns and mortars, they completely surrounded Yushe County, and mountain artillery was also on its way.

"Damn it!" Li Yunlong looked at the tower with a telescope with a stern expression, "It's not lively enough. Let's add more fire to the Black Island Regiment. Let me fire the machine guns and mortars!"

More than two hundred light and heavy machine guns and mortars poured firepower on the city towers of Yushe County with great momentum.

The independent group has not yet used its trump card, the thunder cannon loaded with TNT explosives.

This time the independent regiment was well prepared, with six 10-kilogram-level thunder cannon shells and six mine cannon launchers modified from oil barrels.

In order to complete the brigade commander's fishing plan, Li Yunlong planned to hang out the Japanese in the city.

In the city, at the Kuroshima Regiment Command Post, every time a cannon shot rang out, Kuroshima Morita's heart felt cold.

"Report to the captain!" Lieutenant Commander Matsui, holding the telegram, hurried in to report, "Qi County reinforcements Okazaki Brigade encountered a tenacious blockade from the Eighth Route Army in the Baibi area. The reinforcements from the direction of Liao County were ambushed by Tubal Road as soon as they left the county. They are regrouping.

For reinforcements, the Fujiwara Brigade in Qin County was blocked in the Zhangdian area. The first section of the 108th Division was stationed in Licheng County. Lieutenant Colonel Isotani led 1,500 soldiers and 500 cavalry. They had set out an hour ago to reinforce Yushe County.

Come!"

"Yo Xi!" After hearing the end, Kuroshima Morita's expression finally softened a bit.

As long as reinforcements from the direction of Licheng County arrive, he and Prince Akamoto Mingyi will be saved, and they may even have a chance to eliminate the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

Kuroshima Morita asked: "How many times have the Eighth Route Army attacked outside the city?"

Matsui Lieutenant Colonel replied: "It's very strange. Tuba Road outside the city seems to be in no hurry to attack, as if it is deliberately delaying time, but the enemy's firepower is very fierce."

Kuroshima Morita said: "Tell the soldiers that they only need to hold on for three more hours and reinforcements will arrive!"

"Hi!" Matsui paused suddenly and walked out quickly.

…

At the foot of Guitou Ridge, the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Licheng County have reached the foot of the mountain.

The Japanese cavalry were at the front, followed by the infantry with rifles on their shoulders. In the middle were a dozen cars loaded with soldiers, and dozens of mule carts loaded with artillery shells and mountain artillery. They came in a mighty manner.

A cloud of dust rose on the road.

Lieutenant Colonel Isotani sat in the car and used his binoculars to look at the nearby Ghost Head Ridge. He immediately ordered the team to stop advancing and sent scouts to the Ghost Head Ridge for reconnaissance.

Immediately, five Japanese soldiers walked out of the team, loaded the bullets, and ran quickly towards Guitou Ridge with their rifles in hand.

Brigadier Chen's command post is located at the top of Guitou Ridge. It is a simple command post built with wood, branches and weeds.

Stepping on the ladder, looking through the observation hole, I saw in the telescope that the Japanese army had stopped, and four or five Japanese soldiers were walking towards Guitou Ridge with rifles in hand.
