I rise from the sword

Chapter 13

That night, Yang Lin led the independent brigade to Luotuoling.

The officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment stationed in Luotuoling received an order from Chu Yunfei, the commander of the regiment, early on. They handed over the defense area to Yang Lin's independent brigade, and then returned to the regiment headquarters to report.

Camel Ridge has two main peaks, east and west, which are named after the shape of a hump.

There are 7 or 8 villages near Luotuo Ridge, and the main task of the Independent Brigade is to guard the area for dozens of miles.

At the same time, reconnoite the enemy's situation and prevent the Japanese army from raiding from behind.

Yang Lin took a topographic map near Luotuo Ridge from the officers and soldiers of the 358th regiment who was withdrawing. After studying it, he stationed his troops in Wu Village, which is located under the main peak of Luotuo Ridge.

Then, Yang Lin rented a yard from the villagers of Wu Village with Xian Dayang to serve as the temporary headquarters of the brigade.

After everything was dealt with, Yang Lin called the soldiers into the yard and held a simple meeting.

The independent brigade, including Yang Lin, currently has 73 people. In order to facilitate future command, Yang Lin can only compress the establishment, compressing the original three teams into two platoons.

There are 36 people in each row, equipped with two 50mm caliber grenades, and other light and heavy weapons.

Among them, Ma Gan is the leader of the first row, and Niu Bold is the leader of the second row.

Since there is no suitable gunner, Yang Lin has not taken the anti-war artillery and Italian artillery out of the system space.

……

The independent brigade has just been established, and there are still many things to deal with, so Yang Lin is not in a hurry to recruit troops.

Before you know it, 5 days have passed.

In the past few days, Yang Lin went to the regiment headquarters of the 358 regiment to sign in every day on the grounds of repaying his work.

It has to be said that Chu Yunfei really has a lot of wool, and there is no sign of trying to squeeze him out after signing in for 5 consecutive days.

In 5 days, Yang Lin got a total of 2 60mm caliber mortars with 600 rounds of shells, 10 Type 10 heavy machine guns with 200 rounds of bullets, 5 regular rifles with [-] rounds of bullets through signing in.

In addition, a silver treasure chest was also obtained.

When Yang Lin returned to the brigade headquarters, he couldn't wait to open the treasure chest.

"System, open the treasure chest!"

"Ding! The treasure chest is open. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a perfect-level "Infantry Training Manual" skill book. The skill book will automatically integrate with the host."

The infantry training manual is all-encompassing, including physical training, weapon knowledge, shooting training, and several small subjects such as bombing and blasting.

This is an indispensable good thing for a strong army, and it can be called an artifact!

In the next few days, under the personal leadership of Yang Lin, the independent brigade devoted itself to intensive training.

In addition, Yang Lin still goes to the regiment headquarters of the 358 regiment to check in every day.

It is a pity that what they got were some official rifles, Czech-style and other ordinary standard equipment of the Jinsui Army, as well as ammunition and canned food, etc., and they did not get treasure chests or any artifacts.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and Yang Lin does not dislike it.

Of course, he wanted to go to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Yan Laoxi's headquarters, and Shinozuka Yoshio's headquarters to check in, but the key was that conditions did not allow it.

On this day, Yang Lin was personally instructing the soldiers on shooting training in Houshan.

Ma Gan suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Captain, my brother who is in charge of patrolling and guarding came to report that there is something wrong with Liujiapo!"

Yang Lin said: "What's the situation?"

Ma Gan said: "There is a small group of puppet cavalry who are chasing several Eight Routes, and they are heading towards Liujiapo at this moment!"

Yang Lin said again: "How many people are there in the puppet army?"

Ma Gan said: "There are not many people, about 30 people in a row."

"The second devil is here to bring us warmth."

With war horses, whether it is patrolling, delivering messages, or moving, it is much easier.

Yang Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, then shouted loudly: "The first row gathers, and the second row continues training!"

After a while, the 1st row was assembled.

Yang Lin briefly explained the mission and mobilization, and then led his troops to take the trail and head straight for Liujiapo.

Liujiapo is a barren mountain with hilly terrain, about 4 or 5 miles away from the Independence Brigade.

……

"Drive, drive, drive..."

In the wilderness in front of Liujiapo, three Eighth Route Army soldiers frantically brandished their horsewhips and headed all the way to the village.

The leader was a little older, and looked like an officer from his military uniform.

The other two Eighth Route Army really carried briefcases on their bodies.

Behind them, a group of puppet cavalry was chasing them.

"Brothers, have you seen the briefcase on the Eighth Route Army in front? There must be high officials of the Eighth Route Army among them. As long as they are kept alive, the Taijun will definitely reward them greatly!"

The horses of the puppet army are physically strong and run much faster than the horses of the Eighth Route Army.

After chasing for a while, the distance between the two sides was getting closer to Yola.

"Stop the eight roads ahead! Otherwise we're going to shoot!"

The soldiers of the puppet army roared loudly, seeing that the Eighth Route Army in front did not respond, they raised their riding rifles and pulled the trigger.

The three riders on horseback leaned forward and clapped tightly on the horse's back to reduce their target.

"Snapped!"

"Crack, clap, clap!—"

A burst of gunfire fell, and all the bullets flew into the sky.

One of the Eighth Route Army couldn't help but taunted: "Regimental Commander, the marksmanship of these two devils is also too bad, and they have blinded those good horses for nothing."

"It's not that their marksmanship is bad. These two devils probably want to capture us alive and go back to claim credit." The leading Eighth Route Army officer glanced back, and said to the two with a solemn expression: "Don't act rashly, you will soon enter the mountain. Let’s find a way to deal with them then!”
