    Early the next morning, the Japanese army did not launch an attack on the 228th Regiment¡¯s position.  The artillery squadron was attacked last night, and the camp was sniped by a sniper squadron that killed hundreds of people. This kept the Japanese army busy all night and had no time to rest at all.

    Now that it¡¯s daytime, those Japanese soldiers are basically suffering from dark circles under their eyes, and they don¡¯t have the energy to launch a charge.

    Yoshio Shinozuka also knew that his soldiers needed to rest at this time, so he gave up the early morning attack.

    But the number of scout troops he sent out became more and more, because many of the scout troops he sent out before were wiped out in the wilds of Lingqiu County by the troops led by Chen Shiliang, who was engaged in guerrilla warfare.

    ¡°But Yoshio Shinozuka needed to know the enemy¡¯s movements, so he had to maintain the size of the scout force so that they could have sufficient intelligence.

    When Shinozuka Yoshio's attack on Lingqiu County ran into trouble, the Eighth Route Army began to attack from all sides.

    The targets of their attack were not only some remote counties where the Japanese army had relatively few troops, but also the supply warehouses set up by the Japanese army outside Taibai Mountain, as well as various strongholds.  They have all become targets of their attacks.

    These Eighth Route Army knew that those warehouses were full of good stuff, and the Eighth Route Army, which had always adhered to the principle that the enemy's guns are our guns and the enemy's supplies are our supplies, would naturally not watch their own stuff being left in the Japanese army's hands.  hands.

    So when they attacked these Japanese strongholds and warehouses, it was really the three armies that fought for their lives and went forward one after another.

    In just two days, a quarter of the Japanese army's strongholds and warehouses outside Taibai Mountain were attacked to varying degrees.

    Many of these attacks ended in failure. After all, their equipment was too poor and it was still difficult to attack the well-defended Japanese artillery towers.  But as long as a few succeed, it will be a headache for the Japanese army.

    Because as long as this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers see that they can be attacked, they will try every means to attack them until they die.

    Lieutenant General Tatsuki Kusaba of the Japanese 114th Division, who was responsible for blocking Mount Taibai, was really in trouble at this time.

    Because the number of troops he could mobilize originally was about 30,000.  With such 30,000 people blocking a Taibai Mountain, a lot of mobile troops can still be retained to support the defense of various strongholds and supply warehouses.

    But since Yoshio Shinozuka planned to attack Lingqiu County and open up the transportation line, the strength of the Japanese 114th Division in Taibai Mountain has been reduced by half.

    This resulted in a reduction in both the defensive strength of the Japanese army within the stronghold and the number of troops used for mobile support.  And this is why the Eighth Route Army dared to attack them.

    Because there are many strongholds, Kusaba Tatsumi¡¯s mobile troops have supported them.  And many times, the Eighth Route Army would also engage in tactics such as encircling points to bring reinforcements, and attacking in the east and in the west.

    ¡°After all, these Eighth Route Army troops can fight wherever they want and have complete control over the initiative.  As for Kusaba Tatsumi, he could only use the troops in his hands to guard the supply points and strongholds along Taibai Mountain, and was unable to take the initiative to attack at all.

    The Independent Regiment has made a lot of money these days. Yesterday, they captured a supply warehouse of the Japanese army and not only seized thousands of brand-new 38-guns, but also captured two trucks of bullets.

    This made Li Yunlong very happy. When he talked on the phone with the brigade commander, he no longer spoke in the submissive manner before, but looked full of authority.

    After his troops cleared a stronghold, they received a telegram from Brigadier Chen.

    The content of Brigadier Chen¡¯s telegram was very simple. He wanted the independent regiment to support Xia Yang and the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division who were fighting hard outside Lingqiu City.

    Li Yunlong was very happy to do this because he was already familiar with several regimental commanders of the Fourth Division, and he and Bai Mingxuan had fought side by side at Xiongfeng Ridge in Mount Wutai.

    So after receiving the order, he immediately ordered the troops to set off and quickly move towards Lingqiu County.

    Xia Yang originally wanted his troops to attract the strength of the Japanese mobile troops here, and then the Eighth Route Army took advantage of this opportunity to frantically destroy the Japanese blockades and supply warehouses.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that Brigadier Chen would be very loyal and let the independent regiment support him.

    At this time, after the independent regiment captured two Japanese supply warehouses, it can be said that it was a shotgun exchange for a cannon.  The straw sandals worn by his soldiers were replaced by Japanese leather boots.  It makes a lot of noise when walking, not to mention how majestic it is.

    The troops of the Independent Regiment were not far from Lingqiu County and arrived in Lingqiu County in the afternoon.

    And almost at the same timeAnother regiment drawn from the 114th Division also arrived at Yoshio Shinozuka's camp.

    Xia Yang met Li Yunlong immediately. The main force of the independent regiment would also deploy positions around the 228th regiment to resist the increasingly large-scale Japanese attack.

    The two hadn¡¯t seen each other for a long time, and Li Yunlong was very impressed by Xia Yang.  He also knew that this general, who was much younger than himself, was definitely not someone with connections at the top of the Kuomintang Party, but had actually fought his way up from the grassroots level.

    "Commander Xia, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year since the battle at Mount Wutai." Li Yunlong said with emotion after saluting Xia Yang.

    Xia Yang also returned a military salute and said: "It's true that we haven't seen each other for half a year. The ancients said that after three days of separation, soldiers should be treated with admiration. Captain Li, I see that your troops have updated their equipment a lot. I saw your troops before.  , there are still a lot of Hanyang-made ones, but now I can¡¯t find any Hanyang-made ones, they are all 38-year-old ones.¡±

    Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "That's right. Aren't we doing this thanks to you, Commander Xia? Without your troops to contain so many troops of the Japs, how could we dare to attack the Japs' supply warehouse?"

    "How many people did you bring this time?" Xia Yang asked Li Yunlong: "The Japs are so numerous that if we continue to fight for a long time, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it just by relying on a few thousand of us."

    After hearing this, Li Yunlong said: "Commander Xia, don't worry, I brought this number." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
