I am helping

Chapter 636
"Old Li, the Sword Squadron is back?"

As soon as he stepped into the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang couldn't wait to ask.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, seeing that everyone had arrived, he said, "Duan Peng just came back with the Sword Squadron, and he has found the best ambush position."

The eyes of Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou on the side also lit up slightly.

At present, there are still 11 days before Gushou flies from Beiping to Taiyuan. The reconnaissance has been done so quickly, and the time is quite enough.

The Sword Squadron performed its missions so neatly.

"Where is it?" Zhao Gang walked over and sat down on a bench, and everyone sat around the Eight Immortals table.

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said:
"Northeast of Taiyuan Wusu Airport, about 20 kilometers away from Wusu Airport, below the flight path of the Devil's plane."

"According to Duan Peng's report, there is a small mountain here called Zijin Mountain, which is not marked on the map."

"What's more, there is a deserted horse trail that leads directly to Zijin Mountain from the Tongpu Railway."

"Shoot down Gushou's plane, let's do it at Zijin Mountain."

One of the great advantages of Li Yunlong's method is that if he can shoot down the plane the devil is flying on, it will be taken away in one go.

Even parachuting, under the dense firepower net, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving.

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement, this Zijin Mountain is indeed an ideal ambush location.

Since it is a mountain, there must be a hidden place, and it is closer to the devil's plane than the plain, which is more suitable for shooting the devil's plane.

"Okay!" Zhao Gang nodded, "What is the specific battle plan?"

"The specific battle plan is..."

Li Yunlong said: "Use a car from the transport battalion to pull 100 20mm machine guns and 37mm anti-aircraft guns to this position, and then use mules and horses to pull the 37mm anti-aircraft guns to Zijin Mountain along the horse road. ..."

"However..." Zhao Gang said, "In this way, the mules, military horses and mule carts will have to leave early."

The mules and horses used for dragging, as well as the mule carts for transporting ammunition, are not as fast as cars.

Because the horse road is relatively narrow, the car cannot run, otherwise the car will be driven directly to Zijin Mountain.

and so.

100 20mm machine guns, 40 37mm anti-aircraft guns and ammunition require animal power to consign.

The road conditions at that time were incomparable to those of today.

Li Yunlong nodded, mule carts, mules, and military horses really had to start first.

But without a load, mules and horses can still go faster.

"The troops we dispatched this time." Xing Zhiguo said, "There are transport battalions, automobile battalions, anti-aircraft artillery battalions, and machine gun battalions."

"Our two cavalry battalions must also be mobilized." Wang Dehou added, "The devil still has a cavalry brigade in Taiyuan. After we shoot down the devil's plane, the devil's cavalry will probably catch up."

The cavalry brigade that Wang Dehou mentioned was exactly the first cavalry brigade of Kuribayashi Tadamichi.

Among them, the 13th Cavalry Wing was killed by half of the Wing in the Battle of Xinzhou.

The cavalry is more difficult to replenish, so the current 1st Japanese Cavalry Brigade also has a full-staffed cavalry regiment and half a cavalry regiment.

The First Cavalry Brigade is an elite cavalry group of the Japanese army. It has been fighting with Fu Zuoyi's cavalry for a long time in the Inner Mongolia area, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.

It's just that the firepower of the new regiment is too fierce, even the first cavalry brigade suffered losses in the hands of the new regiment several times.

Everyone said something to me, and quickly improved the entire combat plan and emergency plan.

……

the next day.

Li Yunlong finished his breakfast and counted the days. The battalion and company level officers sent by the headquarters should be arriving soon.

So, Li Yunlong asked Duan Peng to come to the regiment headquarters.

"Report to the head of the regiment!" Duan Penglong strode into the regiment headquarters, gave a military salute with sharp eyes, "Duan Peng reports to you!"

Seeing Duan Peng, Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction. This kid is becoming more and more like a special captain.

Under the leadership of Duan Peng, the Sword Squadron became more and more powerful.

Li Yunlong handed Duan Peng a note and said: "The battalion-level officer given to us by the headquarters is about to arrive. Your Sword Squadron will go to the Zhengtai Railway to meet him. The time and place are written on the note."

"Yes, Captain!"

Duan Peng glanced at the note, straightened up, turned and walked out.

From the southeast of Shanxi to the northwest of Shanxi, it is necessary to pass through the Zhengtai Railway.

The current Zhengtai Railway is still controlled by devils, so it is still relatively dangerous.

This time, the headquarters sent over 140 battalion and company level officers.

The new regiment needs to expand to 7 infantry battalions and 1 artillery battalion, and 24 battalion-level officers including battalion commanders, instructors, and deputy battalion commanders are needed.

The gap for company-level officers is even greater.

The strength of the infantry battalion of the new regiment is five times that of the infantry battalions of other troops. The infantry battalion of the new regiment has 2000 people per infantry battalion, 9 infantry companies and 1 artillery company.

Each infantry battalion needs 30 company commanders, deputy company commanders, instructors and other company-level officers, and the expansion of seven infantry battalions requires 240 people.

This time, the new regiment needs a total of nearly 300 battalion and company-level officers, because in the battle, the new regiment also lost some company-level officers.

Not to mention battalion-level officers, not just the Xinyi Regiment, but in other units of the Eighth Route Army, the casualty rate of company-level officers is not small.

Because the company-level officers of the Eighth Route Army rushed to the forefront in almost every battle.

However, the company-level officer casualty rate of the new regiment is much lower, because the infantry of the new regiment can call artillery fire support at any time if the attack fails.

Therefore, during the battle, the soldiers of the new regiment rarely charged against the enemy's fierce firepower.

……

At noon, Li Yunlong ordered Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion of the main force, and Wei Dayong, the commander of the second battalion of the division, to come to the regiment headquarters.

In the inner room of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao and Wei Dayong, standing in front of the kang, looked at the stern-faced head Li Da on the kang.

Both of them couldn't help shrinking their necks secretly.

what happened?

"Do you know why you two were called to the regiment headquarters?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao and Wei Dayong, and asked coldly.

"Report to the head of the group." Zhang Dabiao said, "I don't know."

"I don't know." Wei Dayong also shook his head.

"I don't know?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Then let me remind you that during the attack on Datong, you two violated discipline. You two know about it, right?"

Zhang Dabiao and Wei Dayong looked at each other, it turned out that something happened.

But Wei Dayong didn't panic at all, he smiled and showed his white teeth: "Commander, I have not violated discipline. The regiment party committee stipulates that battalion commanders are not allowed to participate in hand-to-hand combat and charge, but I have not violated any of them."

And even if he violated discipline, this time his battalion was the first achievement, even if he violated discipline, he would only be criticized at most.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao, but Zhang Dabiao patted his head, and he didn't dare to speak at once, with an expression as if he was being dealt with by the head of the regiment.

Wei Dayong said again: "Commander, I report that Battalion Commander Zhang not only personally led the soldiers to charge, but also threw away a helmet during the charge."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong raised his voice suddenly, and stared at him suddenly, "Da Biao, what's the matter?"

Zhang Dabiao: "..."

"Captain, I asked the guards to pick up the helmet, and I didn't throw it away."

Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yunlong's expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dabiao took a look at Wei Dayong, as if he was saying that you are not a real monk, you actually called me a small report.

Steel helmets are no different than military caps. Steel helmets are life-saving items at critical moments. Each soldier only has one, so Li Yunlong absolutely does not allow it to be wasted.

Li Yunlong looked at Wei Dayong, Wei Dayong smiled again, and said: "Commander, I really did not violate discipline. I participated in street fighting, and did not participate in hand-to-hand combat or charge."

"Who says street fighting is not a violation of discipline?" Li Yunlong pursed his lips, "If labor and management say it is a violation of discipline, then it is a violation of discipline."

"That has to be reasonable, right?" Wei Dayong said in a low voice, "Battalion Commander Zhang participated in both the charge and the street fighting."

Zhang Dabiao: "..."

Zhang Dabiao hurriedly explained: "Commander, I learned this from you. When you were the commander, when was it that you were not at the forefront?"

Li Yunlong was slightly stunned.

In the past few years, Li Yunlong always listened to the warnings from his superiors and let them go out from his right ear.

He almost took the lead in every battle. It was only after Zhao Gang came to the Xinyi regiment that he restrained himself a lot, but occasionally he quietly participated in the battle.

After all, he puts himself in the shoes of others, anyway, after a period of time Li Yunlong does not chop off the heads of a few devils, his hands will be very itchy, and he will definitely kill a few devils to enjoy his addiction whenever he has the opportunity.

Suddenly, Captain Li felt the mood of the Brigadier and the others.

It's really a bit embarrassing, no wonder the brigade commander scolded him so loudly before...

The previous Xinyi regiment was fine, the battalion commander was allowed to participate in the battle, but now the battalion commander is not allowed to participate in the battle. These problems were immediately exposed.

The soldiers that I bring out all have the same virtue as myself.

"Damn it, if I don't learn from the good ones, I will learn from the bad ones."

"..."

Li Yunlong stared, scolded the two for more than ten minutes, and finally said:

"The merits and demerits of the monk are balanced, and Da Biao will work as a groom for me at the regiment headquarters for a week."

"Yes!"

Both saluted, then wiped the cold sweat off their brows and turned to leave.

"Monk, why didn't I find out before that you still like to make small reports?"

Walking out of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao said with a displeased face.

Wei Dayong grinned slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Battalion Commander Zhang, I'm not making a small report. Do you think the regiment commander doesn't know about you throwing your helmet and participating in street fighting? Who doesn't know that you, Zhang Dabiao, spent the longest time with the regiment commander?" Captain? Will the captain be willing to punish you?"

"That's true." Zhang Dabiao nodded, and said again, "Hey, I really didn't realize before that monk, your brain is quite good."

Wei Dayong said: "Because I understand a truth, if you want to become smart, you should study more."

Zhang Dabiao originally wanted to go out of the regiment headquarters to do a few tricks with Wei Dayong.

But he quickly gave up this idea, and he might not be the opponent to fight Wei Monk.

Forget it, don't care about this flower monk.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head and walked towards the stables of the regiment headquarters.
