"Damn it, those damn Japs are really fast. If it weren't for the hot weather and the problems with the engines of our tanks and armored vehicles, I would have shot them all up long ago. Zhang Dabiao, hurry up and get some water to lower the temperature of the engines. Otherwise, our armored vehicles and tanks will break down again before the battle even starts!"
"Sanwazi, you must lead the anti-aircraft battalion to rush forward. We must intercept the Japanese before they reach Heiyunling. We must not let them threaten the safety of Shen Quan and the others."
Li Yunlong took the kettle handed over by Monk Wei and filled himself with half a kettle of mung bean soup, and then he felt the heat had subsided a little. He took the intercom handed over by the telegraph operator and ordered in a serious tone: "Liu Haishan, did you miss lunch? Look at what kind of battle you are fighting? The damn Japanese devils ran towards Heiyunling happily, and you chased them all the way, but only killed hundreds of them, and I wasted a lot of ammunition. If you continue to fight like this, even if I have more ammunition, it will not be enough for you to make!"
"Don't feel suffocated, kid. It's very hot inside the cockpit. It's really not easy for you. This excuse doesn't work for me. I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You can just open the glass cover and let the wind in. It will be much cooler! People come up with ideas. I don't believe that college students didn't consider this situation when designing the fighter plane. They just need to open the cabin door. Do they need me to teach them such a simple thing?"
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. That bastard Junichi Aoki has found a water source in Black Cloud Mountain and he's not going to leave. You lead the air force battalion immediately and beat the devils wandering around Black Cloud Mountain hard. We must beat these bastards down the mountain!"
Liu Haishan's somewhat frustrated voice came from the intercom: "Captain, our ammunition is almost used up, and we must keep some ammunition for return. After all, the Japanese air force is not a decoration. In the previous battle, our air force battalion suffered heavy losses. Now there are only 19 fighters that can be deployed. If the battle continues, the air force battalion is likely to be completely lost in the next three days!"
Li Yunlong really didn't expect that the loss of the air force battalion would be so huge. This was completely beyond his expectations. In the next battle, the air force battalion will play an extremely important role. Once there is no protection and support from the air force, it is really possible for the old man Junichi Aoki to escape successfully. Such a result is difficult for Li Yunlong to accept.
"Liu Haishan, listen to me carefully. The Air Force Battalion is the only air force in our base. It is directly related to the safety of our base. No matter how you fight next, you must leave a fighter squadron to protect the safety of the base. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. No matter how difficult it is for you to encounter next, you must strictly follow the order I just gave you."
"I'm not negotiating with you. I'm informing you directly. There's no room for bargaining. Don't think that I'm passively avoiding the battle. The current situation forces me to do this. After we defeat the Aoki Division, I'll explain to you why I did this!"
Liu Haishan didn't understand why Li Yunlong did this, but it was the duty of a soldier to obey military orders. Even if he didn't understand him, he had to follow the orders. After leaving a fighter squadron to continue to provide air support for the battlefield, he returned to Maoershan Airport with the remaining fighters.
In order to end the current war as soon as possible, Li Yunlong ordered the armored forces to immediately suppress the Japanese on Heiyun Mountain with firepower. At the same time, he urgently mobilized two mechanized infantry battalions and began to launch round after round of attacks on the Japanese on the mountain, in order to continuously consume the Japanese's manpower and fight an ammunition consumption war with the Japanese.
Facing Li Yunlong's offensive, Jun'ichi Aoki was really troubled. When he withdrew from the Xiaosongling position, he only carried a basic amount of ammunition. Excluding the consumption of breaking through and defending, he now had less than half a basic amount of ammunition left in his hands. He really couldn't fight a war of attrition with Li Yunlong.
"Your Excellency the division commander, each soldier now has only 60 rounds of bullets left, and the number of artillery shells is even less. On average, each artilleryman has only nine shells left. We no longer have the capital to confront the enemy, and we should leave the battlefield as quickly as possible." Ichiro Tada persuaded earnestly.
Aoki Junichi checked the time, with a faint smile on his face, and replied in a brisk tone: "Tada, it's already six o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be dark in half an hour. As long as we hold on for another half an hour, we can evacuate Black Cloud Mountain under the cover of darkness!"
"Arrange people to fetch water. Make sure every warrior has two canteens of drinking water. You must do this personally. There must not be any problems!"
"Ishii, you must lead two squadrons of troops to launch a counterattack immediately. No matter what the cost, you must ensure that the enemy cannot attack Black Cloud Mountain before dark."
Under the defense of Jun'ichi Aoki at all costs, they successfully held the Black Cloud Mountain position before dark. Li Yunlong was so angry that he cursed loudly at the foot of Black Cloud Mountain, but this still could not change anything. In desperation, Li Yunlong had to order the troops to immediately go to Black Cloud Ridge for support.
Only after Li Yunlong led his team away did Jun'ichi Aoki breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately led the remaining battalion of his troops, crossed mountains and ridges, and left Heiyun Mountain.
"Immediately give orders to Jiro Yoshihara to find a suitable opportunity to withdraw from the battle and go to the Yushuling area to meet us."
After receiving the order from Jun'ichi Aoki, Jiro Yoshihara no longer wanted to fight this battle. In today's siege, he lost a battalion of troops. Now he only has one battalion and one squadron that can be used for combat. Including the wounded who stayed behind, there are only more than 1600 troops. He really has no capital to fight anymore.
"Order each squadron to take turns to provide cover and quickly withdraw from the battlefield. After withdrawing, follow me to the Yushuling area to reunite with the division commander!"
The Yoshihara Brigade stopped attacking Heiyunling at 8:30 pm and secretly evacuated the Heiyunling area under the cover of darkness. Shen Quan did not send troops to pursue them for safety reasons, as he was afraid of being tricked by the Japanese.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Yunlong led the armored troops to Heiyunling. After learning that the Japanese had evacuated, he was so angry that he started cursing.
"Damn it, that bastard Junichi Aoki escaped, but I was still thinking about wiping out the Yoshiwara Brigade, so that my continuous travel would not be in vain. Who could have thought that the damn Japanese were so smart, they noticed something was wrong so quickly and simply stopped fighting us. These bastards have sharper noses than dogs, they really piss me off!"
Li Yunlong, who didn't get to fight, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot. He cursed for a quarter of an hour before he calmed down. After cursing, his stomach growled with hunger. Monk Wei immediately came over with food. Li Yunlong took it and ate it with relish.
After dinner, Li Yunlong did not arrange for the armored troops to pursue, but directly issued a retreat order, ordering all troops to withdraw to the base.
"Shen Quan, tell the brothers to hurry up. We must withdraw from the Black Cloud Ridge position before 11 o'clock at night, and we must return to Fortress No. before dawn tomorrow. The college students just sent an urgent telegram, asking us to withdraw immediately. The base is busy harvesting and planting now, we have to go back and help!"
"Xiao Zhongyuan, you should quickly send an urgent telegram to Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, informing them of our evacuation, and ask Chu Yunfei to withdraw as soon as possible. The battle here is over. If the 358th Regiment does not withdraw quickly, it is very likely to be surrounded by the Japanese. This sentence must be added!"
Under Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers returned to Fort No. 1 overnight and marched for nearly six hours before arriving at Fort No. 1 before dawn. After returning to the fort, Li Yunlong first arranged for the wounded to be sent to the First Field Hospital for treatment, and then deployed the defense of Fort No. 1. After doing all this, he and Wei Heshang each drove a three-wheeled motorcycle and rushed to the headquarters of the independent regiment...
In the operations room of the independent regiment, Lin Zhenhua turned off the lights, stood up from the stool, stretched his waist, and felt more comfortable. After a whole night of hard work, he only completed 1/3 of the workload. In order to find out the drought situation in each base as soon as possible, Lin Zhenhua had no time to rest. He took the breakfast handed over by Duan Peng, ate it briefly, and started working again.
Two hours later, Lin Zhenhua, who was about to go for a visit, happened to meet Li Yunlong who was rushing back from outside. After a brief encounter and a few simple greetings, the two men went about their own business.
Lin Zhenhua was very busy in the next two days. In order to understand the actual situation of the fields in the base, he visited every piece of land and made special records. He visited during the day and drew maps at night. It took him two days to draw the map, which also gave him a thorough understanding of the situation of the fields in the entire base.
Li Yunlong was also not idle. On the one hand, he sent out a reconnaissance plane to investigate the situation of the Shuiquan Oilfield. On the other hand, he learned about the counterattack situation of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army through Chu Yunfei and was ready to provide reinforcements at any time.
