In mid-November 1941, the Japanese launched a retaliatory sweep on the base. For this sweep, the Japanese gathered several brigades and rushed to the base with a large number of puppet troops.

Faced with the aggressive Japanese forces, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, the Xinyi and Xin2nd Regiments had to transfer.

On November 23, the Japanese discovered the whereabouts of the Independent Corps and made an action beyond imagination:

They let go of the remaining troops of the Eighth Route Army, gathered an infantry corps, a cavalry corps and a mixed brigade of puppet troops, and surrounded the independent groups.

...

Independent corps.

Li Yunlong, who had just become a local rich man for a few days, listened to the reconnaissance information summarized by Zheng Yingqi, threw his hat on the kang in anger and cursed: "Damn it, the Japanese really look down on me! The two regiments and one mixed brigade really treat me as a dish!"

The Japanese troops that surrounded the Independent Regiment this time were the 13th Infantry Regiment. The full Japanese Infantry Regiment had nearly 4,000 troops, and the Japanese cavalry regiment was directly under the division, with a size of about 1,400 people, which was more than 5,000 people. The fifth mixed brigade of the puppet army was also one of the few troops with field capabilities among the second Japanese. The entire Fifth Mixed Brigade had more than 5,000 people - that is, there were only 2,000 independent regiments, surrounded by 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops, in this area with a radius of only 300 kilometers.

Zheng Yingqi ignored Li Yunlong's anger and continued to report: "The Japanese may also increase their troops. Qin Feng from Lijia Town left and sent someone to tell me that his people had detected that there was another Japanese corps rushing to this side."

"Damn the Japanese!" Li Yunlong cursed: "It's so damn that I respect me!"

Deputy Commander Xing Zhiguo advised: "Captain, now is not the time to get angry, what should we do?"

Li Yunlong calmed down and asked, "Are Ding Wei and Kong Jie safe?"

"They left the Japanese yesterday afternoon. 16 hours is enough for them to distance themselves from the Japanese." Zheng Yingqi replied.

"It seems that the brigade headquarters is safe," Li Yunlong said thoughtfully: "Then we should prepare to break through and we cannot let the Japanese improve the encirclement."

Zhao Gang interrupted: "How to break through? Our team has two thousand people, and the target is too big. Moreover, the Japanese and the Black Island Cavalry Regiment are targeted by them, so it is not easy to get rid of them."

"We must disperse the breakout! The entire regiment breaks through with battalions, the cavalry company, reconnaissance company and the regiment guard company act together, dispersing the machine gun company to each battalion to make up for the breakout firepower of each battalion. After breaking through, the entire regiment acts in battalion company according to the instructions of the superiors."

"Where is the cannon company?" Xing Zhiguo asked.

Li Yunlong shivered with pain and cursed: "Damn it, I finally pulled up a full cannon company, and now I have to break up again. Let's divide the cannon company into each battalion. The regiment headquarters has a reconnaissance company and a cavalry company, plus the regiment headquarters' security personnel and guards, which can be considered a strengthening battalion. Let the battalions break through tonight. Let's attract the devils in Wangjia Village first."

Zhao Gang said without hesitation: "Okay, our regiment troops have strong combat power and stronger firepower, and it is easier to attract the Japanese, so that each battalion can break through first."

Xing Zhiguo had no objection either.

"Then do it!" Li Yunlong waved his hand: "I want to pinch me as a soft persimmon, okay, I will see if the Japanese have such good teeth."

...

Li Yunlong's order was issued to the three battalions below. The three battalions that had already been prepared for breaking through were immediately started to receive the units of the machine gun company and the mortar company. Although it was not a happy thing to break through, when the soldiers of the machine gun company and the cannon company were merged into his command, the three battalion commanders couldn't help but smile.

Only the company commander of the machine gun company and the cannon company pulled a company and cursed the Japanese in a distance - if the Japanese hadn't caused trouble, how could their soldiers be divided?

The breakthrough was about to be made, and the reconnaissance company became the busiest unit in the regiment. A large number of reconnaissance company soldiers investigated the surrounding situation. After summarizing it, Zheng Yingqi analyzed it one by one and reported it to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong was very confident in Zheng Yingqi's intelligence identification and judgment ability. Based on this, he chose a breakthrough for each battalion.

At the last military meeting of the regiment headquarters before the breakout, after Li Yunlong announced the breakout routes of each battalion, Zhang Dabiao said with a question: "Captain, our three battalions break out from these three directions, where is the regiment headquarters?"

Li Yunlong scolded: "Young master's management team will break through immediately after dark. After breaking through, move into the mountains. After the Japanese sweeps, they will follow the orders of their superiors and use battalions or companies as units to disperse activities. In the future, the team will move in Zhaojiayu, Lijiagou and Panjiaya areas. If you want to find me, you can send people to these three places."

Zhang Dabiao knew Li Yunlong so well. He frowned and said, "Captain, why don't you want to cut off the rear again? Let's leave the matter of cutting off the rear to our 2nd Battalion, and the regiment headquarters will break through from us."

"Are you a regiment commander or I a regiment commander?" Li Yunlong glared at Zhang Dabiao: "I have a cavalry company, a reconnaissance company, a guard company, an engineer company, and a direct unit of the regiment headquarters. Together, I can catch up with a reinforced battalion. I want you to cut off my back? That's it! Break through at 10 o'clock in the evening!"

After saying that, Li Yunlong stood up, looked around the participants in the simple conference room, and said, "I'll listen to it!"

"There is no encirclement in the world that cannot be broken! I don't want to treat it as a breakthrough battle! What? As an attack! Launch an attack on our frontal enemies! Do you have the courage to do this?"

"have!"

The battalion commanders and company commanders who attended the meeting answered loudly.

"Remember, even if there is only one person left in the entire regiment, you must continue to attack! Even if you die, you must fall on the road to attack!" Li Yunlong said murderously: "Sharpen the bayonet and push the bullets into the load! The Japanese devils respect me and deal with me with heavy troops. I want the Japanese to know that you must see clearly! The independent regiment is the best fight. Even if you come to encircle tens of thousands of people, we can still break the encirclement of it!"

Zheng Yingqi looked at the murderous Li Yunlong and admired him all over his body - this is his own leader. Even if he breaks through, even if he has many enemies and few, he still has the courage to "fight". Even if he faces the most dangerous situation, he still looks like a peerless swordsman and dares to draw his sword!

Zhao Gang then mobilized pre-warly. Although Zhao Gang was gentle and kind, when he shouted that the brave ones would win when they met on a narrow road, the company commanders and battalion commanders who attended the meeting were already excited.

...

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the first three battalions of the first batch of breakouts began to break out. When the Japanese saw that the Independent Regiment was about to break out, they blocked the enemy while urging the rest of the troops to march from behind overnight, trying to block the troops who broke out, but unexpectedly they were blocked in Wangjia Village.

The Japanese hurriedly changed their deployment. While attacking Wangjia Village overnight, they shrank their troops and tried to intercept the three battalions that broke through. However, darkness was not conducive to cavalry advancement and combat. More than 1,000 cavalrymen from the Black Island Regiment were useless. In addition, the Eighth Route Army's breakthrough troops mainly faced the area defended by the Fifth Mixed Brigade. After the Japanese bypassed Wangjia Village, the three battalions had already emerged from the encirclement from three directions.

During the two-hour breakthrough battle, the three battalions of the independent regiment lost more than 400 soldiers, but in the end, they rushed out of the encirclement before the Japanese gathered together.

Zheng Yingqi returned to Wangjia Village with the news that three battalions broke through the siege, but also brought back bad news. After the three battalions broke through, the Japanese sent troops to chase and encircled Wangjia Village overnight. Given the Japanese's huge siege force, Zheng Yingqi also retreated the reconnaissance company soldiers who were active on the battlefield.

"It's good to stick out," Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news brought back by Zheng Yingqi. Then he gathered the commander of the guard company, the commander of the cavalry company, and the commander of the engineering company, and said: "The first, second and third battalions have successfully broken through. Now it's our turn. While it's dark, I'll give you an hour of preparation time, and break through in an hour!"

"Where do we break through?"

"Going east," Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "We break through to Xinzhuang. The Xinzhuang stronghold is only 2 hours away. After arriving at Xinzhuang, we can hide in the mountains and enter the mountains. The damn thing is Lao Li and my territory. The Japanese want to show off their evil spirits in the mountains, but they are far from his mother!"

"I will break through later, and the reconnaissance company will be responsible for opening the gap. Zheng Yingqi, do you have the confidence to open the gap?" Li Yunlong looked at Zheng Yingqi.

Zheng Yingqi replied without hesitation: "Report to the leader of the group! Yes!"

"Okay! After the reconnaissance company opened the gap, the engineering company, the guard company protected the regiment headquarters, and the cavalry company were cut off. They must break out of the Japanese encirclement in the shortest time. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

...

One o'clock in the morning.

15 minutes before the breakout began, Zheng Yingqi appeared on the forefront position with the special detective platoon and wearing the Japanese clothes.

The puppet army stationed on the Fifth Mixed Brigade, who was stationed on the front line, could not have thought that the Eighth Route Army would appear here blatantly at this time in the Japanese uniform. When Zheng Yingqi proposed to enter the front line using the excuse of checking the position, the puppet army battalion commander on duty let Zheng Yingqi and his party enter the position without thinking.

"How many people are here on duty?" Zheng Yingqi asked deliberately in awkward Chinese. The puppet army battalion commander hurriedly said that there was a single member of the army in the war.

"Baga!" Zheng Yingqi slapped the standard Japanese swearing in the face of the puppet army battalion commander. He said in mixed Japanese and Chinese:

"The Eighth Route Army will break through at any time. One of your battalions actually has only one company in combat preparations? You are a crime against the empire! Baga! Everyone in the battalion must enter the combat position! Let's take me over, and I want to urge them all to the position!"

"Yes, Taijun." The puppet army battalion commander had no temper. Zheng Yingqi was obviously the rank of captain, but he, the major battalion commander, dared not say anything when he was beaten.

In this way, Zheng Yingqi and the special reconnaissance platoon easily entered the back of the puppet army's position, and even shouted out the puppet army that had just been lying down.

The special investigation team pretended to urge these puppet troops to disperse like a puppet troops, but after it dispersed, they suddenly turned against each other and opened fire on the puppet troops. The puppet troops were beaten to the point of confusion, and the two companies ran around like headless flies.

After dazing the puppet army, Zheng Yingqi immediately ordered Duan Peng: "Duan Peng, you can lead two squads to attack the puppet army's positions and cooperate with the monk to break through. I will lead people here to create chaos."

With the front and back attacks of the special reconnaissance platoon and the assault platoon, the positions of the puppet army changed hands almost instantly. Even the Fifth Mixed Brigade was a few troops in the puppet army that could fight in the field, but the combat effectiveness was much different from that of the yelling independent regiment, let alone they were still attacked by the front and back attacks of the most elite reconnaissance company of the independent regiment.

"Comrades, hurry up!"

As the gap opened, the guard company and the engineer company protected the regiment personnel to break through the gap, while Zheng Yingqi continued to open the way with the reconnaissance company.

I thought that after breaking through the puppet army's position, the breakthrough battle had basically been won, but I didn't expect that the reconnaissance company rushed out less than two miles and crashed into the Japanese's position.

The chaotic gunfire sounded in front of him, and the distance was about one kilometer, and there were flashing gun flames.

Judging from the gun body, there are at least a squadron of Japanese troops in front of them.

Being pressed by the Japanese at the forefront of the position, the monk was anxious and asked Zheng Yingqi anxiously: "Company Commander, what should I do?"

"Run!" Zheng Yingqi gritted his teeth. This is not the time for Gu Xi to die or be injured. Once he is stuck here, it means that nearly 700 people, including the regiment headquarters, will be surrounded by the Japanese. Once dawn, a whole cavalry gang of Japanese soldiers will easily wipe them out here.

"Special Reconnaissance Platoon, assault platoon! Follow me! Others, follow behind! Either, kill a bloody road! Or, all his mother fell on the way to attack!" Zheng Yingqi was so angry that as he roared, the special Reconnaissance Platoon and the soldiers of the assault platoon followed him and charged towards the Japanese positions.

At this time, the Japanese had surrounded from all directions. Li Yunlong cursed angrily, and arranged troops to form a U-shaped defensive position to block the attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops.

After resisting the first wave of the Japanese offensive, Li Yunlong drew another valuable force from a platoon to support Zheng Yingqi.

As Yao listened to the fierce gunfire in the distance, Li Yunlong murmured: "Zheng Yingqi, it's up to you!"

The reconnaissance company did not disappoint Li Yunlong. After an hour and a half of fierce battle, the reconnaissance company finally opened the road, tore up a hole of more than 200 meters on the Japanese position, and then desperately blocked the Japanese's counterattack.

After tearing the opening, the cavalry company and the engineer company took the lead in evacuating. The guard company blocked the Japanese's pursuit and rushed out of the encirclement before the gap opened by the reconnaissance company was about to close.

But after less than five miles of the team, they hit another blockade of the Japanese. The Japanese expected that the independent regiment would evacuate towards Xinzhuang and set up two insurance strands in succession.

Zheng Yingqi gathered in the entire company, with a total of 200 reconnaissance companies. Now there are only more than 110 people left in the entire company, and more than 20 of them are injured.

"Comrades, the Japanese want to keep us all here. I want to see if the Japanese have such a good appetite!" Zheng Yingqi said with red eyes and gritted his teeth: "The Reconnaissance Company is the sharp knife of the entire regiment. Now is the time for our brothers to see how sharp this sharp knife is!"

"Tonight! I'm invincible!"

"I'm invincible!"

The soldiers of the entire company yelled, and then, under the leadership of Zheng Yingqi, the entire company launched an attack towards the last blockade of the Japanese.

The sound of cannons and gunfire sounded like rain. The reconnaissance company launched another resolute and fearless charge towards the Japanese positions.

This was the last position of the Japanese. In order to keep the independent regiment, the Japanese fought desperately, but the darkness before dawn gave the reconnaissance company the final cover. After paying a heavy price, the reconnaissance company entered the position and launched a fierce close combat with the Japanese garrisoned at the position.

The reconnaissance company equipped with dozens of submachine guns is best at close combat. In the complex trenches, the reconnaissance company and the Japanese compete for positions one meter or one meter. Sometimes fierce hand-to-hand combat will break out. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, when the sky slowly turns gray, the reconnaissance company finally broke out another passage.

"rush!"

The guards charged towards the gap, but this time the gap opened was only a hundred meters, and the Japanese still formed firepower suppression on the gap.

If it weren't for the night cover, the Guard Company and the Engineer Company would have suffered heavy losses when they rushed out of the gap - but even so, the two companies would have suffered shocking losses when they evacuated.

In the end, about 30 soldiers from the guard company broke through with three heavy machine guns, but were severely suppressed by the Japanese firepower. The soldiers who were reluctant to give up the precious heavy machine gun rushed with the heavy machine gun once, but were suppressed by the Japanese.

At this time, Li Yunlong evacuated from the battlefield. After seeing three heavy machine guns being suppressed, he felt distressed and angry, and cursed loudly: "Is it all too stupid? Is it important to be a gun? Support heavy machine guns to the reconnaissance company and transfer people!"

"Captain," a soldier cried and shouted: "This is the treasure of our machine gun company. The machine gun company is gone. If the heavy machine gun is gone, then how can there be a machine gun company?"

"As long as your machine gun company is there, the machine gun company will be there!" Li Yunlong cursed: "I am famous for making money. Isn't it just three heavy machine guns? After this breakout, I asked Zheng Yingqi, that bastard, to get five more heavy machine guns for your machine gun company!"

With Li Yunlong's guarantee, these machine gun company soldiers who were incorporated into the guard company finally gritted their teeth and left the heavy machine guns and the soldiers who operated the heavy machine guns, and the others rushed out in dispersion.

The gap in the reconnaissance company's desperate protection was already in danger in the tide of the Japanese attack. Fortunately, three heavy machine guns joined the support at this time, barely stabilized the defense line of the reconnaissance company. After about twenty minutes, a small team of Japanese soldiers walked around from the side to the left of the reconnaissance company, blocking the connection between the reconnaissance company and the friendly forces in the encirclement.

Listening to the fierce gunfire in the encirclement, Li Yunlong was anxious: "Who hasn't rushed out yet?"

"It's the cavalry company," Zhao Gang said in anger: "Old Li, you retreat first, I'll take the guard company to rescue the cavalry company!"

"Don't you go! I'm the regiment commander, and I'll save me if I want to save me!" Li Yunlong pushed Zhao Gang away: "Guard Company, go and rescue the cavalry company with me! Lao Li didn't give up the style of running first!"

Under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the only 100 remaining people in the Guard Company launched a charge towards the gap blocked by the Japanese. However, after a round of charge, not only did not open the gap increased to the defense of the two teams, but more than 20 soldiers who participated in the attack fell on the battlefield.
Chapter completed!
