My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 54 Fire!
"drive···"

The headquarters of the 38th Regiment.

A mounted signal trooper from an independent regiment arrived.

After confirming their identity, the communications soldier was taken all the way to the headquarters of the 38th Regiment, where he met the commander of the [-]th Regiment, Wu Cheng.
"Ask me for help."

Wu Cheng was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

The deal between Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's New Regiment, Cheng Shifa's 772 Regiment, and Xu Huzhi's County Brigade has been rumored among the [-] Brigade.

Everyone knows that Captain Li has a God of Wealth and is now as wealthy as Yan Laoxi.

A real rich landlord.

And he was very generous, much more generous than Yan Laoxi.

Back then, the boss mobilized more than 1 people to help Yan Laoxi, and only got 50 rounds of ammunition and some weapons and equipment.

Li Yunlong, the landlord, asked Kong Jie for 120 soldiers, not including battalion, company and platoon cadres, and gave him 20 rounds of ammunition and [-] Czech guns.

It is also an imported top-notch Czech style with one candied fruit and five candied fruits.

I asked Cheng Shifa to borrow [-] army horses, and gave him [-] rounds of ammunition, four imported Czech type.

Xu Huzhi was even more enviable. He helped transport more than 500 prisoners of war and received 10,000+ rounds of ammunition, one hundred twenty-shot rifles, and ten imported Czech-style guns.

I asked him to help me this time...

"what's up?"

Wu Cheng was very enthusiastic.

"Our leader..."

The communications soldier took out Li Yunlong's message - which Zhao Gang helped write.

"Hey, Zhao Gang's handwriting is really good."

Wu Cheng directly commented on the handwriting.

When he saw the content inside, Wu Cheng suddenly squinted his eyes. He raised his head and glanced at the correspondent, then put away the paper message in his hand and put it in his pocket.

Then, Wu Cheng’s face burst into laughter:
"Go back and tell Li Yunlong that I've decided to help!"

After the correspondent immediately left on horseback, Wu Cheng immediately ordered the troops to assemble.

"First Battalion, Second Battalion assemble!"

····
At eight o'clock that night.

Li Yunlong led the first and second battalions to the preset ambush position.

Xingzigou.

"Construct a position immediately."

"Kong Jie, please arrange your security and spread out as much as possible. If anyone approaches, please notify us in advance."

"Zhang Dabiao, keep an eye on the position and be sure to take concealment measures."

"Xu Ping, you lead the artillery batteries to establish positions on the high ground on both wings."

"..."

Li Yunlong personally arranged and constructed the positions.

In an ambush battle, the most important thing is to be unexpected and not let the enemy discover that there is an ambush.

It is necessary to let the enemy walk into the ambush position with the lowest level of vigilance, and accurately spray the densest firepower on the enemy at the closest distance, so as to achieve the suddenness of the battle and kill more enemies in the first round of firepower. Follow-up firepower must also keep up, completely suppress the enemy's resistance, and then use superior forces to divide, surround and annihilate.

Position construction is the top priority.

The deployment of troops and the construction of firepower network cannot be ignored at all.

This is why even though he had photos and detailed maps, Li Yunlong still came to Xingzigou for a half-day field trip.

At night in Jindi in early March, even if there was no snow, the temperature quickly dropped to minus ten degrees, and it was still falling further. The howling north wind was like a knife blowing through.

Biting cold.

Fortunately, the newly equipped winter military uniforms are warm enough. The system says it can withstand minus ten degrees to fifteen degrees, so there is absolutely no error. The military shoes on the soles of the feet can also resist the cold wind, and the white-faced steamed buns in the belly also provide sufficient warmth. energy of.

Although many soldiers still feel cold, they will not suffer from frostbite.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the middle of the night that the entire ambush position, including hidden positions, anti-gun holes, and front-line ammunition depots, was completed.

The backbone of the first battalion of the independent regiment, the backbone of the second battalion, and the artillery company, totaling 600 people.

Nine American M2 Type 60 mortars, 54 Czech type, 27 grenade launchers, 130 eight [-]-guns, and more than [-] twenty-shot shell guns.

Ambush in the small canyon of Xingzigou,
"rest."

After a final inspection to ensure that nothing was missing, Li Yunlong gave the order to rest.

"How on earth did Brother Lu get the information about the Japs!"

Before getting into the hole to sleep, Li Yunlong had a doubt in his mind.

Nine days ago, Brother Lu knew that the Japanese Hejin Squadron would set off from Yangquan and pass through Xingzigou at noon tomorrow.

But the doubt only lasted for a moment, and Li Yunlong fell into a deep sleep.

···
March tenth.

After ten o'clock in the morning.

"brigadier."

A communications soldier ran towards the brigade headquarters very quickly. After almost staggering, he flew into the combat conference room:
"The latest information from Liao County County Brigade."

"At eight o'clock last night, about two hundred Japanese soldiers entered Liao County."

"eight pm?!"

"Two hundred Japs?!"

When the brigade commander heard the news, his expression changed, and then he ran to the map, staring at the huge map of Liao County, Yu County, and Wuxiang County, and gradually frowned.

Two hundred Japanese soldiers arrived at eight o'clock in the evening. It was basically certain that they were the Hejin Squadron that was reinforcing Liao County.

Then next,
Should the Hejin Squadron go to the Shandao Regiment Headquarters in Yu County, or go directly to Xiazhuang to help patrol the soon-to-be-opened Xiazhuang to Shangcun highway and start building the Shangcun stronghold?
Generally speaking, this kind of long-term reinforcement of troops not directly under the jurisdiction will first go to the superior station to report, communicate and solve some command problems, and then go to the frontline stronghold to station.

Or, exchange quarters.

The Hejin Squadron exchanged with a squadron of the Shandao Regiment, and then the infantry squadron directly under the Shandao Regiment went to Xiazhuang to assist in the construction of the Shangcun stronghold and garrison the stronghold.

However, the Hejin Squadron is a strengthened squadron that performs a separate mission, so this possibility is very low.

However, the Japanese prison plan is accelerating, and the brigade commander cannot guarantee whether the Hejin squadron will go directly to Xiazhuang, put the command issue aside, and communicate slowly later.

After all, the Hejin Squadron is only stationed in a stronghold, not a joint mopping up operation.If it is the former, the Hejin Squadron will go west and reach Yuxian via the highway. If it is the latter, the Hejin Squadron will go directly south and pass the newly built highway to Xiazhuang.

"Damn it."

The brigade commander sighed cursingly.

It’s not just that the information is not detailed,
The information came too late.

No matter whether this Hejin squadron goes to Yuxian or Xiazhuang, he has no way to eat it.

too late.

Now mobilize the troops and build a good position. Whether it is Yuxian or Xiazhuang, the Hejin Squadron has reached its destination.

If he had known it last night, he might have had time to set up an ambush.

"Tell Xu Hu to keep an eye on these devils."

That was all he could order.

"Yes."

The signal soldier immediately went to convey the order.

"How is the construction of the road from Guizixiazhuang to Shangcun?"

The Brigadier continued to ask.

"It is only three miles away from Shangcun. It is expected to be opened to traffic in three days."

A staff member responded immediately.

Although it is a mountain road, the Japanese built a road along the mountain road, and it is a dirt road. The amount of work is not large. After all, in this period, the weight and load of cars were not large, and the speed was not fast.

"Three days."

The brigade commander pondered for a moment and ordered:

"Order the political workers in several villages around Shangcun and the 57th Regiment to be more vigilant, do a good job in clearing the field, protect the people's property, and be ready to move the people with them at any time."

Currently stationed around Shangcun is the 57th Regiment of the [-]th Brigade.

"Yes."

The second correspondent also immediately went to convey the order.

····
after an hour.

Xingzigou.

"Captain, the devil is coming."

The forward scout reported to Li Yunlong the news that the Hejin Squadron was about to arrive.

"All are there, ready to fight."

Li Yunlong immediately turned over and took out the shell gun from his waist, but did not open the nose of the machine.

"All are there, ready to fight."

"All are there, ready to fight."

"..."

The battalion commander, company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader conveyed Li Yunlong's orders one by one.

The soldiers took out their weapons one after another and tore off the dust-proof cloth wrapping the barrel and receiver, but no one loaded the bullet.

In ambush battles, loading the gun at the last moment of the battle is a lesson learned through blood and tears learned from the Eighth Route Army's ambush of Japanese soldiers, large and small, more than a thousand times in the past three years or so.

With hundreds or even thousands of people, there is no guarantee that a fire will not occur.

Even though the weapons produced by the system are extremely reliable, and even though the people participating in the battle this time are all top-notch veterans who have participated in many actual battles, humans are not steel or machines.

Once the ambush goes wrong, it means the battle has failed.

Either retreat, or pay multiple times the price and force victory.

After preparing their weapons, the soldiers did not all emerge from their positions. Instead, they hid in hidden positions and waited for orders. Only experienced battalion and company commanders could probe and observe.

"Ha ha··"

"Dense formation!"

"God help me too."

When he saw the Hejin Squadron walking into Xingzigou along the highway, Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh wildly in his heart.

The Hejin Squadron in front of them still passed through the highway in a dense formation, although it had a forward security detachment and a dozen Japanese soldiers who were enlarging the security around them.

Nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers actually marched in three columns, including the mule and horse transport team, and they could only form a formation of less than 400 meters.

According to Brother Lu, there are warnings, but not much.

"Monk."

Li Yunlong called the monk.

"Have!"

Monk Wei came over immediately.

Currently, the monk is guard Li Yunlong and concurrently serves as the deputy platoon leader of the regiment's guard platoon.

"You take the guard platoon and kill the Japs' sharp knife group."

The Japanese sharp knife group has passed, and the cooperation requirement is to wipe out all, and no one can be spared, so Li Yunlong sent a monk to kill the nine sharp knife groups in front of the Japanese.

"Yes."

The monk took the order and left.

"Ready to fight!"

After the monk led the team to leave, all the Guizi Hejin Squadron also entered Xingzigou. At this time, Li Yunlong broke open the gun head of the shell and pushed the bullet into the gun chamber.

"Ready to fight!"

"..."

The order was passed level by level, and all the soldiers of the [-]st and [-]nd Battalions of the Independent Regiment pushed bullets into the barrels of their guns.

On the artillery positions on both wings, Xu Ping picked up a 60mm mortar shell. Behind him were dozens of ammunition handlers who were preparing to move the shell from the temporary ammunition depot at the rear to the artillery position.

"Fire!"

Li Yunlong fired the first shot!
