The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

The three of them didn't know what to say after hearing Li Yunlong's words. After all, they were loyal fans of Li Yunlong. Even if they sent all the captured weapons and equipment to the brigade headquarters, let alone such a small amount of weapons and ammunition, they didn't want Li Yunlong to leave the New Regiment.

Besides, according to the regiment leader's wishes, the regiment would not suffer too much if the replaced weapons were sent out. After all, their regiment only has a total of 2,000 people. Even if so many weapons were left behind, they would be left to gather dust in the warehouse.

It's better to send it to the brigade headquarters.

It is also good for them that the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army becomes stronger. After all, they are also members of the Eighth Route Army.

…………

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away in Taiyuan, also heard from his subordinates the news that the Huting stronghold had been captured by the Eighth Route Army, and that after learning that the instigator was Li Yunlong, his mentality exploded on the spot.

He got furious in the command room, angrily pulled out his command knife and chopped his beloved blue and white porcelain vase into pieces.

He secretly vowed that one day he would cut off Li Yunlong's head with his own hands, and then make his head a specimen and put it on his desk.

And Yamamoto Kazuki has also been busy recently investigating the leak of secrets from the last attack on the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

His investigation was approved by Yoshio Shinozuka, and several close advisers around Yoshio Shinozuka were all under the surveillance and investigation scope of Kazuki Yamamoto.

The New Regiment's capture of the Huting stronghold was also informed by Yan Xishan, commander of the Second War Zone. He sent a commendation telegram that day to congratulate the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army for launching an active offensive on the battlefield behind enemy lines and achieving greater results...

.

On the threshing floor of Zhengjiazhuang, where the new regiment headquarters is located, the soldiers were actively carrying weapons and ammunition. Thirteen mule carts were loaded with weapons and equipment sent to the brigade headquarters.

Li Yunlong looked at the weapons and equipment that were about to be transported to the brigade headquarters, looking very indifferent as if he didn't care at all.

Li Yunlong's expression fell in the eyes of Zhao Gang who was standing aside. Zhao Gang gave Li Yunlong a big thumbs up in his heart.

Almost all the weapons and equipment of half a regular regiment were handed over to the brigade headquarters on their own initiative. I thought to myself that Captain Li was really a good comrade with a high ideological consciousness and an understanding of the overall situation.

"Captain, when I come back from the brigade headquarters, I must hold a meeting of the regiment party committee and call on all the soldiers in the regiment to learn from you. Commander Li has played a very good leading role this time."

"Don't be so vain." After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "I just fulfilled my duty as the commander of the Eighth Route Army.

These words fell in Zhao Gang's ears, and aroused Zhao Gang's admiration. He believed that Li Yunlong was not only highly enlightened but also indifferent to fame and fortune, and was a good example worth learning from.

"Captain, it's getting late. We'll set off if we have nothing to do." Seeing that everything was loaded into the car, Zhao Gang solemnly saluted Li Yunlong with a military salute.

"Go early and come back early." Li Yunlong also gave Zhao Gang a military salute.

After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang turned around and waved to the convoy, "Let's go." Then he led the convoy from the grain drying field towards the entrance of Zhengjiazhuang village.

Li Yunlong took the convoy all the way to the entrance of the village, then breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the command room.

…………

One winter has passed and time has come to April quickly. In the past two months, the new regiment has been renovating and training.

Because he was afraid of being retaliated by the Japs, Li Yunlong did not dare to make any other moves during this period. After all, he had gone through several battles, and most of the new regiments were new recruits, and some had not even touched a robbery a few times.

If he goes to the battlefield like this, he is not kidding with the lives of his men. Li Yunlong will definitely not do this deal, so he takes advantage of the last period of time to quickly train these newly added soldiers, otherwise the brats will start to sweep them away.

The casualty ratio will definitely be huge in the end.

The elite team has not been idle in the past two months. They are training and attacking in all directions. They specialize in sneak attacks on Japanese transport teams. The weapons and ammunition seized can be used for the training of soldiers.

Because the elite team was small in number and moved quickly, they came and went like the wind. If they were beaten, they would run away. Although the little devil was cautious, he did not fail to let the elite team succeed.

And not only that, Li Yunlong also asked Wei Dayong to find Duan Peng.

When Wei Dayong found Duan Peng in Duanjiagou, Duan Peng refused to work and said he would stay at home to take care of his mother. However, when Wei Dayong said that he was going to work with Li Yunlong in Xinyi Regiment, Duan Peng decisively gave up the job of selling grain.

To make a living, he followed Wei Dayong to the New Regiment to Ganba Road. As for Duan Peng's mother, she was arranged to be taken care of by a family in the fortress.

Since Li Yunlong led the new regiment to win several battles, Li Yunlong has become quite famous among the people throughout Shanxi.

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have admired heroes and knights the most, so some folk literati and storytellers described Li Yunlong as a knight who could fly over walls and fly over walls, wield a gun with both hands, and hit the mark with perfect accuracy.

The bounty placed on Li Yunlong's head by the Japanese army rose to 100,000 yuan.

Duan Peng, like Wei Dayong, had long admired Li Yunlong, so he joined the Eighth Route Army without saying a word.

In addition, Li Yunlong sent people around to find some folk talents who knew martial arts and various unique skills to expand the strength of the elite team.

The elite team has expanded from more than 30 people to more than 50 people. This was because Li Yunlong kicked out some unqualified people to cause trouble, otherwise the number of elite team members would only be larger.

Zhengjiazhuang New Group.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were sitting cross-legged on the Kang, with soju and peanuts placed on the Kang table.

Zhao Gang took a sip of wine and then slowly said: "Old Li, since the beginning of spring, the Japanese army has begun to implement the so-called "Supreme Construction" and directed its offensive at our Eighth Route Army. And more than a month ago, Tada Shun took over as Sugiyama Gen and took charge of North China.

After becoming the commander of the front army, he implemented the so-called cage policy and built railways, roads, strongholds and bunkers wantonly to sweep away our base areas. Our future life will definitely become more and more difficult."

Although he had been reminded by Li Yunlong before and the new regiment was also prepared, when the raid actually came, Zhao Gang was still a little panicked. After all, the scale of the raid was not comparable to that before. If he did not do well, the Eighth Route Army would face disaster.

.

"Why are you panicking?" Li Yunlong heard Zhao Gang's words and said disdainfully: "The soldiers are here to block the water and cover up the soil. If the devils come, why don't we fight them back?"

"Old Li, it's not that I'm panicking. The key is that our new regiment is having a hard time. The food we seized from the Huting stronghold before was consumed for more than two months. There is not much left. Don't think about it anymore.

The solution is to stop it in half a month at most." Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang frowned and said, after all, there are more than 2,000 people in the new group, and they have been training for the past two months, and there are no unexpected gains.

Just relying on our laurels will mean that no matter how much food we have, we will eat it all.

"Didn't we agree at the beginning? I'll be in charge of fighting and you'll be in charge of life. Let me ask you, are you in charge of food? I'm in charge of the military and can get so many weapons and ammunition, but you can't give it to us if you're in charge of life.

Do you want to make hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain?" Li Yunlong threw a peanut into his mouth and said in a calm tone.

"You're talking lightly. You still have hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain. There is a blockade outside the base area. Where can I get grain? I can't go and ask for it from the villagers, right?" After hearing Li Yunlong's remarks, Zhao Gang directly cursed.

He said that after more than two months of contact, Zhao Gang had been led astray by Li Yunlong. He not only learned to drink, but also cursed others.

Otherwise, as the old saying goes, those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. If you follow Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, you can learn it well.

"I said, Lao Zhao, you are an intellectual after all. How can you curse others like me?" Li Yunlong teased seriously while drinking.

"Don't talk to me about those useless things. If we continue like this, we will starve to death. Aren't you anxious? We have no shortage of ammunition while we are here. Otherwise, it will be like attacking the Huting stronghold. Try to find a way to kill him.

With two strongholds, we can also make a small fortune."

After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong didn't rush to reply. Instead, he picked up the notebook on the table and started to tear up the paper and roll a cigarette.

Seeing Li Yunlong's movements, Zhao Gang quickly stopped him and said, "Don't touch my notebook, you've almost torn it all."

"A broken notebook is so precious. I'll get you a new one some time later. It's made from Japan." Li Yunlong separated Zhao Gang's extended hand, tore off the paper from the notebook and started rolling a cigarette.

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up when he heard Li Yunlong's words: "Old Li, I know you can't sit still. Do you have a goal? Tell me quickly."

"The Japs in the Huting stronghold were wiped out by us before, but Little Japan sent another cavalry regiment, called the Songdao Cavalry Regiment. Why are these Japs here? They are giving us Yanghe army horses.

You said that the Japanese take the initiative to bring fat meat to our mouths. If we don’t eat it, how can we live up to the little Japanese’s kindness?”

Zhao Gang took a deep breath when he heard this: "Are you planning to attack the Japanese Cavalry Regiment? That is a fully-organized cavalry regiment, well-equipped. It is well-trained and cannot be compared with the previous puppet troops. I think

Or forget it, maybe we won't be able to eat it and will choke to death.

The cavalry is no better than the infantry. It comes and goes like the wind and has strong maneuverability. When the same number of infantry and cavalry meet, the cavalry can kill the infantry in dozens of ways, but the infantry has no choice but to passively wait to die."

After hearing Zhao Gang's analysis, Li Yunlong did not give up the idea of ​​​​wiping out the Japanese Cavalry Regiment: "According to the report of the elite team, the Songdao Cavalry Regiment has more than 800 cavalry. I plan to gather all the light and heavy machine guns in the regiment and take out

Twenty thousand rounds of ammunition and three thousand grenades.

It shouldn't be a problem for him to fight a cavalry regiment. Old Zhao, can you tell me how to fight this battle?"

Before this, Li Yunlong had discussed with Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng what the cavalry were most afraid of. The answer was that they were most afraid of machine guns like the Maxim. As long as there were dozens of Maxims in front of them, even more cavalry would not be able to use them.

.

Although the New Regiment currently does not have dozens of Maxims, it still has light and heavy machine guns. In addition, there are more than fifty submachine guns. The instantaneous firepower should be almost enough.

As long as the firepower covers a wide enough area, the cavalry rushing over will only lead to death. It will not have any effect at all, but you are afraid that the enemy's cavalry unit will not confront you head-on. In this way, even if you have strong firepower, you cannot chase them.

The cavalry killed.

"Let's talk about it first. Are you going to test me or ask for my opinion?" Zhao Gang said: "If I am right, then the position of leader of the new regiment will not be yours, Li Yunlong. I will become the regiment leader.

Can you be a good political commissar?"

"I'm just a political commissar. Is there anything I can't do?" Li Yunlong curled his lips and said, "I'm not bragging. If you don't believe me, go and find out. Even the boss often praises me for my versatility. I can do the work of the regiment leader and the political commissar."

Everything is covered. Before you came, I, Li Yunlong, did all the work of the new regiment leader and political commissar. Didn’t I do a good job?"

Zhao Gang nodded when he heard Li Yunlong's words. He had heard of this, but all he heard were negative news. The reason why Li Yunlong became a generalist was because he often made mistakes, otherwise the headquarters would not treat him as such.

Send over.

But he couldn't say it directly in front of Li Yunlong, even if he didn't hit people in the face or scold them, so he could only say: "I don't believe you, because who doesn't know what you, Li Yunlong, are like? In this way, you can only act as my temporary agent."

The regiment commander is here to command this battle, please point out anything wrong."

"First, our regiment's weakness compared to the Japs' cavalry regiment is its poor mobility, so we must choose a terrain that cannot be outflanked.

Second, our advantage is our strong firepower. As long as we choose the terrain and build a good defensive position, even if all the Japanese cavalry units charge forward, they will still be our living targets.

Third, we need to lure the Japs’ Songdao Cavalry Regiment into our ambush position without letting the Japs’ cavalry notice it in advance. As long as we can choose the terrain well and lure the Songdao Cavalry Regiment to take the bait, things will be done.

More than half of it.”

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong laughed and cursed: "Old Zhao, tell me, have you already been thinking about me as the leader of the regiment?

Zhao Gang was not distracted when he heard Li Yunlong's words and continued following his own train of thought: "The first thing is to choose the terrain well so that half of our regiment can be hidden from the enemy.

Light and heavy machine guns, dozens of submachine guns, and more than a thousand rifles fired at the same time to form a barrage and kill a large number of Japanese cavalry. The premise of this tactic is to make the Japanese cavalry run at full speed. In this way, even if the Japanese cavalry finds something is wrong,

It’s too late to run away.”

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong chuckled: "Look, a whole set of combat plans have come out. Please help me think about where to choose the ambush location."

"Are you the leader or am I the leader? I have to do everything, so what do I need you, Li Yunlong, to do? Bring me foot-washing water? Besides, I stay at the station all day, and I am not clairvoyant.

, who knows which terrain is suitable? As for choosing the terrain, in my opinion, it is up to you, the leader, to personally lead the investigation." After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he ignored Li Yunlong and concentrated on eating peanuts.
