However, before Li Yunlong could wait for reinforcements, Taro Nomura rushed down with his men. With the addition of more than 20 special forces members, Li Yunlong was in even greater danger.
Li Yunlong didn't expect that the Japanese would use one trick after another to deal with him, leaving him no chance of survival. He could only hope that Lin Zhenhua would come quickly so that he would have a chance of survival. Otherwise, he, Li Yunlong, might really fall into the hands of the Japanese today. He had already made up his mind to die, and he used all his strength to keep waving the Japanese sword and fighting with the Japanese.
The black shadow stood on the top of the mountain, watching the battle below. The outcome was about to be decided. He knew that Li Yunlong no longer had a chance of turning the tables. As long as he could capture Li Yunlong this time, he could implement the next plan.
The Jade-faced Scholar stood beside Hei Ying and asked with gritted teeth, "Why are you so cruel that you don't even leave Xie Baoqing and his gang a chance to survive? Once we lose the help of these bandits, it will be very difficult for us to achieve anything in this area. You idiot, you ruined Hirata-kun's plan, so just wait for him to take care of you!"
The shadow replied with contempt: "Scholar, I told you before that you are as dumb as a pig, but you still refuse to accept it. I believe you have heard the news from Taiyuan City. The empire sent more troops to Taiyuan in order to launch a large-scale clearing war, and you are still so stupid that you don't even realize it!"
The Jade-faced Scholar interrupted Black Shadow from continuing to speak. Black Shadow had no idea that it was not reinforcement at all. He had heard Hirata Kojiro talk about this before. There was a huge secret hidden in it. For the sake of confidentiality, he could not tell anyone. He could only point at Black Shadow's nose and curse: "You will regret it. I am too lazy to argue with you here. I want to deal with the beginning and the end that you haven't dealt with. Xie Baoqing and the others must not be alive, otherwise Xue Changming will be in danger of being exposed!"
After saying this, the Jade-faced Scholar left alone. The black shadow also felt that he had made a fool of himself just now, but he was too lazy to argue with the Jade-faced Scholar. He was about to win. He never cared about what method he used to win. He had only one goal, and that was to keep winning.
When Lin Zhenhua was halfway there, he heard the sound of gunfire in the distance. He immediately thought that something was wrong. He immediately determined that Li Yunlong was attacked, and immediately gave an order: "Zhu Zi, leave a company to guard the ammunition, immediately arrange for people to unload the ammunition from the horses, and select 200 people to ride with me to the battlefield, take all the light machine guns and submachine guns in our hands, and let's go and rescue the commander first!"
Under Lin Zhenhua's order, more than 100 war horses were quickly freed up. Two men per horse rode on them and immediately rushed to the place where the sound of gunfire came from.
Lin Zhenhua was very anxious because he heard the sound of gunfire gradually becoming sparse, which proved that Li Yunlong had basically used up all the bullets and could only fight the enemy with a bayonet. It would be fine if the number of enemies was small, but if the number was particularly large, Li Yunlong might not be able to withstand it.
However, thinking of the help of four armored vehicles, Li Yunlong felt that even if he could not win, he could still break out. Besides, there was no force in northwest Shanxi that could defeat the Independent Regiment. While comforting himself in his heart, he whipped the horse hard, and the horse's speed increased by half, and it galloped towards the battlefield.
"Brothers, there are no cowards in our independent regiment. Even if we die here today, we will die on the way to the charge. Brothers, charge together with me. Even if we all die here today, we will not let the Japanese get away with it!"
Lin Zhenhua heard Li Yunlong's roar from afar. He really didn't expect that Li Yunlong would be forced to this point. He didn't have time to pick up the telescope around his neck to see what was happening in front of him. He could only whip the horse hard and rush towards where Li Yunlong was.
Just when Li Yunlong was about to lead his men to charge, he heard the sound of horse hooves from behind, which made him glance over. When he saw Lin Zhenhua's ferocious face from afar, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he laughed loudly: "Haha, brothers, our support is here, the college students are here to support us, what the hell are you all still standing there for, charge with me, today we have to keep all the Japanese devils and avenge the brothers who died in the independent regiment!"
When the Japanese soldiers in Matsui's squadron saw the reinforcements of the independent regiment coming, their faces changed drastically, especially when they heard the word "college student", they showed fear on their faces. They knew that Lin Zhenhua had a great reputation among the Japanese soldiers, and that he was simply a devil with fangs on his face. Before the battle even started, the Japanese soldiers were already a little timid.
Seeing this, Major Matsuda shouted angrily, "Damn it! He's just a Chinese. What's there to be afraid of? Immediately launch an attack and capture Li Yunlong. Let the Chinese know one thing: Anyone who dares to resist the empire will die!"
At the shouting of Major Matsuda, the remaining 200 Japanese soldiers began to encircle Li Yunlong. When Lin Zhenhua saw this, he shouted "Get down" and picked up the light machine gun in his hand and started firing at the front.
After hearing Lin Zhenhua's shout, Li Yunlong immediately asked the people around him to lie down, exposing the Japanese soldiers in front of him. The bullets hit the Japanese soldiers directly, making them waile in pain.
As more machine guns and submachine guns joined in, the Japanese were cut down one after another like wheat. Major Matsuda immediately ordered the Japanese to counterattack. Lin Zhenhua relied on the speed advantage of his horse to dodge flexibly, but some soldiers were still hit by the Japanese bullets and fell to the ground.
The horse under Lin Zhenhua did not slow down and rushed directly into the group of Japanese soldiers. He immediately threw away the light machine gun in his hand that had run out of bullets, picked up the light machine gun hanging around his neck, and started firing at the Japanese soldiers. He killed them in and out of the group of Japanese soldiers and killed more than 30 of them.
As the reinforcements of the follow-up soldiers arrived, and Li Yunlong also led his men to rush up, everyone immediately surrounded and eliminated the remaining hundreds of Japanese soldiers. Lin Zhenhua did not pay attention to the spirit of Bushido with the Japanese soldiers. He never stopped firing the submachine gun in his hand. As long as the Japanese soldiers dared to approach him, he would immediately fire a volley of bullets. He used up six magazines before he and Li Yunlong killed all the Japanese soldiers.
Lin Zhenhua panted and sat down on the ground. He was exhausted after the intense fighting. In order to rescue Li Yunlong, he risked his life. Bullets grazed his scalp several times. If he hadn't been lucky, his life would have been lost to the Japanese.
Li Yunlong knew that the crisis on the battlefield had not been resolved. He ordered Zhang Dabiao standing beside him, "Zhang Dabiao, take your men to restock the guns of the Japanese soldiers immediately, in case the Japanese soldiers are not dead and secretly hide to shoot us. The Japanese soldiers often do this, so we must be careful!"
"Monk, what the hell are you still standing there for? Go and protect the college students. I don't need your protection here!"
After explaining all this, Li Yunlong sat down on the ground. He was very tired from the battle just now. He thought he would have a glorious day today, but he didn't expect that he would be rescued by Lin Zhenhua in the end. He wanted to say thank you to Lin Zhenhua, but ended up being scolded by Lin Zhenhua.
"Old Li, you found an ambush ahead, why didn't you retreat? You are simply playing with the lives of the soldiers. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have to die here today. You lost a whole battalion of soldiers. Even when we fought the Yoshino Regiment, we didn't lose so many. How the hell did you command? I have already given you the armored vehicles, but you still turned the battle into such a mess. You, Li Yunlong, almost lost yourself in it. Do you still have the nerve to brag about your great achievements now?"
Li Yunlong's face looked very ugly at this time. He knew that what Lin Zhenhua said was true. As long as he retreated and reunited with Lin Zhenhua, it would be impossible for him to lose so many soldiers. This time he was indeed too arrogant and underestimated the insidiousness and cunningness of the Japanese devils.
Lin Zhenhua had no time to argue with Li Yunlong at this time. He found the gas masks worn by the Japanese and led dozens of people into the poison gas area. He wanted to see if there were any soldiers alive. Unexpectedly, he actually found a few people. He quickly arranged for people to carry them out. However, two of the eight people eventually could not make it. The other six were pressed under the corpses and did not suffer much damage from the poison gas, so they luckily saved their lives.
Fortunately, most of the soldiers on the four armored vehicles survived. They were blocked in a 30-meter circle by the bandits. When they were attacked by poison gas, they immediately blocked the air leaks of the tanks with wet cloth strips, and thus they survived by chance.
Lin Zhenhua finally counted the men. The First Battalion directly lost 762 people in this battle. Only 66 people survived, including Li Yunlong. The entire battalion was almost destroyed. Li Yunlong was very sad to see the casualty figures. He silently vowed in his heart that he must find an opportunity to retaliate as soon as possible and avenge the soldiers who died in the Independent Regiment.
By the evening, Wang Chengzhu, with the help of hundreds of war horses, rushed over with the escort team. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes. He didn't expect that the first battalion would be destroyed and even the regiment commander Li Yunlong was slightly injured. He asked Lin Zhenhua about the situation in detail and couldn't help but sighed: "College student, this matter really can't be blamed on the regiment commander. Even if our two teams are combined, the losses will be very large. We only brought 50 gas masks in total, and the rest were all taken back by Deputy Regiment Commander Xing. These gas masks can't play much of a role. The more people there are, the greater our casualties will be!"
"College student, please don't blame the leader. He feels worse than you do. We have fallen into the opponent's trap this time. It is not easy to achieve such a result. There is really no need to ask for too much!"
