Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1204 Interception
In the evening, Li Yunlong sat in the rickety half-track car and looked lewdly at the statistical list in his hand.

Li Yunlong has never fought such a carefree battle.

It has been a whole day and night since he set off from Ningbei Railway Station. He asked the logistics director to count the seized materials, but Li Yunlong was shocked: there are more than 120 cars following the independent group, and more than 70 three-wheelers. Moreover, these vehicles were either loaded with shells and pulled artillery or were fully loaded with supplies: thirty vehicles pulled artillery, fifty vehicles carried food, and more than 40 vehicles loaded ammunition, machine guns, gasoline, medical kits Wait, even the sidecars of the tricycles are full, and that's not counting the stuff on the half-tracks.

During the period, Li Yunlong also evacuated a batch of supplies to the people on the spot... There is no way, there are too many things to take away, so it is better to be a favor and give them to the people.

Li Yunlong was getting more and more proud the more he looked at it.

Back then, the independent regiment was like a treasure if they handed over a few guns. If they could hand in a mountain cannon, they could blow it up for several months.

But now, it is nothing to pay hundreds of vehicles of supplies and dozens of artillery pieces.

Li Yunlong felt happy, so he stood up and supported the machine gun of the half-track car, waved his hands and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Comrades, the devil's end is coming, and our good days are coming! Look!" If the devil is beaten by us, it is called a defeated army, and it is not so easy to chase the duck!"

The proud laughter of the soldiers came from all around.

This battle surprised them, because the mechanized troops had penetrated more than a hundred miles into the enemy-controlled area, and many people, including Li Yunlong, were vain in their hearts... If there is an idiom to describe this, it would be "a lonely army goes deep", or It is "underestimating the enemy and rushing forward".

This is the hinterland of devils!

We only have more than 3000 people in a group, so we can't be covered by the devils?
However, when they came in, they found that the actual situation was much better than they had imagined. Until now, they had hardly encountered any resistance... The artillery towers and bunkers scattered along the railway line were not considered resistance at all to the Eighth Route Army. It was just a matter of a few shells from the "Sherman", and they didn't even need shells. As soon as the tank moved forward, the puppet army tied up the devils and came out to surrender.

Li Yunlong continued to shout: "Comrades, work harder! Go to Datong in one go, take Datong Laozi and open a jar of Fenjiu for each of you!"

"Okay!" The soldiers responded one after another, and they suddenly regained their energy after not closing their eyes all day and night.

Zhao Gang, who was sitting at the back, had an opinion after hearing this. He pulled Li Yunlong back and said, "I said, Lao Li, we are fighting now, and we are fighting interspersedly. If you give each of the soldiers a shot A jar of Fenjiu, do you want to fight or die!"

"Hey, I say you old Zhao!" Li Yunlong replied: "Didn't you also say that the ancients had something called 'Wangmei...this thirst'? The soldiers didn't close their eyes all day and night, either marching or In the war, why can't we have a drink to relieve our difficulties?"

Zhao Gang was stunned for a long time, but he didn't come back to his senses. He didn't expect Li Yunlong, a big and three rough guy, to learn Cao Cao's thoughts.

But it makes sense to think about it.

In order to achieve the goal of fast marching, the independent regiment traveled day and night. Although it was not as difficult as walking on a half-track vehicle, it was a war, and the nerves of the whole body were always tense. Anyone who did not rest for a day was exhausted.

Li Yunlong used this trick of "watching wine to relieve sleepiness" to adjust and adjust.

Besides, even if Li Yunlong really distributed the wine at that time, the soldiers knew that they had a mission, so how could they get drunk on the spot and go to war?

Li Yunlong looked at the sky and ordered: "Everyone is there, don't turn on the lights!"

"Don't turn on the lights!"

"Don't turn on the lights!"

……

Although the fighter planes at this time are not capable of night combat, if the cars line up in a long line with their lights on, it will be quite conspicuous in the dark. As long as the devil pilots are not blind, they can drop bombs into the long line.

Therefore, the independent regiment had to move forward in the dark at night, even without a flashlight, for fear of exposing its position and being bombed by enemy aviation.

A few sparse gunshots and explosions came from the front, that was the forward troops clearing the way for the main force... The two companies in the front are each equipped with two "Shermans", and these two companies will take turns. Before clearing the devils along the way.

After advancing for more than an hour, Li Yunlong asked, "Where are we now?"

"Report to the head of the regiment!" The staff officer behind the car replied: "Near Youyu County, about 150 kilometers away from Datong! It is estimated that we can arrive in two days!"

Li Yunlong is obviously not very satisfied with this speed.

"Two days, two days, maybe the enemy's reinforcements will arrive in Datong first!" Li Yunlong ordered after cursing: "Order the troops, speed up!"

"Yes, speed up!"

"Boost!"

……

"Old Li!" Zhao Gang was a little worried: "The troops are advancing in the dark, and they are not familiar with the surrounding terrain. The main force has not had time to catch up. Will there be problems if the speed is too fast?"

Li Yunlong smiled "hehe" and replied: "Old Zhao, you don't understand this. Do you know what is called 'blitzkrieg'? 'Blitzkrieg' means to be fast. If we are fast, the enemy will have no time to react. If we don't have time to react, we will fight more smoothly." Why do you think there are no devils laying an ambush ahead of us when we are fighting this way?"

When Zhao Gang thought about it, this seemed to be true.

It stands to reason that the devils already know the whereabouts of the Independence Regiment, at least they should send troops to intercept them, but nothing happened now.

There is only one explanation for this, that is, the marching speed of the Independence Regiment caught the devils by surprise, and the Eighth Route Army fighter planes blocked the railways and roads, so the devils could not even assemble an intercepting force.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden roar of shells in the sky...

Li Yunlong shouted: "Stay away!"

Then dragging Zhao Gang, he jumped off the half-track car and lay on the ground.

There was an explosion of "boom, boom", and the shells exploded in the group of cars. Several half-track cars were thrown into the air and rolled a few times before falling heavily to the ground.

Li Yunlong realized immediately that he was being ambushed by the devil's artillery: the reason why the devil can shoot so accurately, and even in the dark, must have adjusted the elements in advance and even made a test shot.

This is difficult to avoid, unless the intelligence is received in advance to understand the enemy's every move, otherwise the war will inevitably lead to casualties.

"Scatter!" Li Yunlong ordered loudly: "Order the artillery, set up artillery immediately to suppress!"
