Chapter 123 Set a Small Goal!
Chapter 22 Set a Small Goal!

After negotiating the business with Chen Feng, Li Yunlong thought about dealing with the devil's gun tower.

It is mainly aimed at the devil's blockhouses in Yushe and Liaoxian counties.

There are also quite a few Devils' artillery towers in Qixian County, but there is an established Japanese army regiment there, and Li Yunlong has no intention of going there for the time being.

The devils and puppet troops stationed in the two counties of Yushe and Liaoxian counted more than [-] people each.

The current situation in southeast Shanxi is that the devils occupy the county towns and major traffic routes, but the countryside is controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

There is no such thing as a defense zone, the devils' gun towers and lines of communication are there, and whether they can get meat from the devils depends on their own abilities.

If you have the ability to get meat from devils to eat, you will celebrate the New Year every day, drinking and eating meat, if you can’t get it, you will starve, and drink northwest wind every day.

In the past, the Xinyi Regiment was able to develop into the main regiment. Li Yunlong used all means to deal with devils and traitors.

There was a time when he didn't take the soldiers to do side jobs, and Li Yunlong even missed those days.

Yangcun, the headquarter of Xinyi Regiment.

Lu Yingjun led the Sword Team and just returned from reconnaissance in the Yuliao area.

Reporting to Li Yunlong.

"Captain, your guess is indeed correct, the devil is really on guard."

"That night we took down the three blockhouses on the Yuliao Highway."

"Most of the devils in the gun towers on the Yuliao Highway were evacuated to the strongholds around the county."

The devil is really scared... Li Yunlong was really surprised when he heard this.

It's not common to scare the devils overnight.

Li Yunlong asked: "Have all the devils in the gun towers in Liao County and Yushe evacuated?"

"That's not true." Lu Yingjun said, "Only the devils in the gun tower on the Yuliao Highway withdrew."

Li Yunlong's tone was disdainful: "The devils are also a bunch of cowards, and they just took down three blockhouses to scare them like this."

"But this is better, only the gun towers of the puppet army are easier to fight."

"Let's set a small goal first, and kill 10 gun towers on the Yuliao Highway."

The so-called Yuliao Highway is a highway connecting Yushe County and Liaoxian County, with a length of about 50 kilometers.

There are 13 gun towers alone, and there is also a medium-sized stronghold at the junction of Liao County and Yushe County, guarding the main traffic road.

However, among them, the three blockhouses on the Yuliao Highway in Liao County have been taken down by the Sword Squad.

Taking away 10 blockhouses can make Li Yunlong a lot of money, how could Li Yunlong let go of this opportunity.

After a pause, Li Yunlong asked, "Have you scouted out the position of the artillery tower on the Yuliao Highway and the approximate strength of the troops in it?"

Lu Yingjun marked the devil's gun towers and strongholds on the map, and then replied.

"It's all cleared up."

"On the Yuliao Highway, there are still 4 gun towers in Liao County, and there are 6 more in Yushe."

"It is estimated that there are only two or three devils staring at each gun tower, and the rest are puppet troops."

"The Lijiagou stronghold at the junction of the two counties originally only had more than 100 people. The devils in the blockhouse basically retreated into this stronghold. Now there are more than 200 people."

Li Yunlong looked at the map and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lijiagou stronghold?
very good.Although this stronghold is not as good as the Huting stronghold, there are still more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops, and the price is higher than that of 2 blockhouses, which is equivalent to 3 blockhouses. This was negotiated in advance.

Looking at the gun towers and strongholds on the map, what Li Yunlong saw was not gun towers and strongholds, but rocket launchers and cannons.

After a little thought, Li Yunlong said, "It's better to get rich sooner rather than later. Let's do it tonight. You go back and rest for a while, and come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting in half an hour."

"Yes!" Lu Yingjun straightened his body and walked out.

Later, when Zhao just got back from the company, Li Yunlong held a brief regimental party committee meeting with him.

"Old Li, what did you say?" Zhao Gang exclaimed, "You want to take down all the gun towers on the Yuliao Highway?"

"Why are you so loud?" Li Yunlong said, "Shall I give you a loudspeaker and shout it all over the world so that the devils can hear it too?"

"I didn't mean that." Zhao Gang said.

"Then what do you mean?" Li Yunlong asked with his eyes wide open, his face a little displeased, "I tell you, I think highly of you by discussing with you, don't be shameless, you brat."

"Why are you angry at me?" Zhao Gang said, "Do you have the ability to lose your temper with devils?"

"It seems that Commissar Zhao has agreed to this operation." Li Yunlong said: "You are really right, I just want to lose my temper with the devil."

Zhao Gang was taken aback, realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly said, "That's not what I meant."

"What doesn't that mean?" Li Yunlong glared, "Why, do you still want to go back on your word?"

"You said it yourself, changing what you want is a kind of weakening of command power."

"Change from day to day." Zhao Gang said in a low voice.

"That's right, the order is changed every day." Li Yunlong said, "It's the same anyway, as long as the meaning is right."

"I mean, we only have one field gun and one infantry gun now, and there are not many shells. At most, one or two gun towers can be taken down at a time. You have to take down more than a dozen gun towers overnight, and the span Dozens of kilometers, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Zhao Gang was circled by Li Yunlong, and finally found a chance to express his worries.

Although the field artillery is powerful, it is more troublesome to transport. Although the infantry artillery is easy to move, it is not as powerful as the field artillery.

These two types of artillery can also be used to defeat the blockhouse, but it will take a lot of time.

Hehe smiled, Li Yunlong said: "Then don't worry about it, I have my own way."

"Besides, when have you ever seen labor and management make a loss-making business?"

Zhao Gang's expression changed, and he asked, "What way?"

"You will find out tonight."

Li Yunlong made a fool of himself and deliberately kept silent.

Zhao Gang snorted, "If you don't tell me, believe it or not, I'll call the teacher right now."

"Even if you have a way, if you want to kill more than a dozen gun towers in one night, you have to mobilize at least two battalions, right?"

"Moving two battalions without authorization is not a small crime."

"The brigade commander turned a blind eye, but I believe that the division commander and the head of the headquarters are not used to you."

"Don't, don't, don't." Li Yunlong said hastily, "That would be too uninteresting."

Li Yunlong had no choice but to tell Zhao Gang the truth.

Zhao Gang was also surprised when he heard that Chen Feng sent the new weapons, and that the Sword Squad had already used the new weapons to knock down three gun towers.

There was no further objection immediately.

Half an hour later, the battalion commanders and company commanders directly under them gathered at the headquarters of the Xinyi Regiment.

Because of its excellent performance in the last battle, the new cavalry company was recorded as a collective first-class merit once.

Although the cavalry company lost more than [-] soldiers in several battles, the cavalry company has been expanded into a cavalry battalion, with Sun Desheng as the commander of the cavalry battalion.

At the meeting, Li Yunlong issued an order for combat deployment.

In this battle, the Sword Squad was divided into two operations. One half was led by Wei Dayong to be in charge of the Devils Cannon Tower on the Yushe Road Section of the Yuliao Highway, and the other half was led by Lu Yingjun to take charge of the Devils Cannon Tower, the Cavalry Battalion and the Liao County Section of the Yuliao Highway. Each battalion of the infantry battalion drew 30 backbone elites to act with the sharp sword unit.

On the one hand, he assisted the Sword Squad to attack the devil's blockhouse, on the other hand, he learned new tactics and the use of new weapons.

The first battalion, artillery company, and machine artillery company were responsible for attacking the Lijiagou stronghold.

In addition, the second battalion and the third battalion each sent a company to harass the devil's reinforcements by means of sparrow warfare and mine warfare.

There are almost two battalions of troops dispatched, but now the total strength of the new regiment is almost 5 battalions, well-equipped, most of them are elite veterans, and they can be called strong and strong.

As the order was issued, the battalions began to count troops, distribute ammunition, and take time to rest and sleep during the day.

In the evening of the same day, the soldiers were ready to go at the valley field in Yangcun.

Li Yunlong: "Let's go!"

A team of more than 100 people, including a team of more than 24 people, carried two bazooka anti-tank rocket launchers equipped with [-] rockets, commanded by Lu Yingjun and Wei Dayong.

The second team is a stronghold team composed of the first battalion, machine gun company and artillery company, commanded by Zhang Dabiao.

The third team was the blocking team of the [-]nd Battalion Assault Company and the [-]rd Battalion Assault Company, commanded by the Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu and the Third Battalion Commander Chen Dagu.

Each member of the tower pulling team is equipped with a military horse, which is convenient and fast to maneuver and improve the efficiency of tower pulling.

Although they were dispatched to fight against the devils at night, the commanders and fighters did not panic at all, because night battles are the specialty of the Eighth Route Army.

Devils and puppet soldiers are most afraid of fighting night battles with the Eighth Route Army...

"The strongholds and gun towers are the eyes of the devils. If all the strongholds and gun towers on the Yuliao Highway are pulled out, the devils will become blind on this road."

"In the future, when the devil leaves the county, I'm afraid he will be frightened."

"Especially the devil's transport team, walking on the road may be like walking on thin ice."

Looking at the team going away, Zhao Gang turned his head and said to Li Yunlong.

For tonight's battle, Zhao Gang thinks that there is not much suspense.

Because Li Yunlong had already set up hidden lines in the county, and surveillance posts were also set up in the strongholds and gun towers on the Yuliao Highway. As long as the devils made any changes, Li Yunlong would soon know.

Of course, what reassures Zhao Gang the most is the new weapon.

Although I haven't seen its power with my own eyes, the record of firing a devil's gun tower is definitely not blown out.

Therefore, Zhao Gang is full of expectations for the results of tonight's battle.

Li Yunlong sneered, and said in a disdainful tone: "The devils and puppet soldiers are only so capable. They usually hide in the gun towers and do their best. Hmph, let's teach the devils how to behave tonight."

Li Yunlong's order was to wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the strongholds and gun towers on the Yuliao Highway.

Not one left.

Then gradually erode the artillery towers and strongholds around Liao County and Yushe County.

Pull out the eyes of the devils and puppet soldiers in these two counties.

Then see if we can recover the county.

Restoring one county town is worth 20 machine guns, and two county towns are worth 40 guns.

Even if the machine gun is not used, it is not a small amount of money to replace it with other weapons and ammunition. For Li Datuan, the machine gun is a unit of measurement.
