Chapter 144 Zhang Wu's Mission

The current independent regiment has 12 battalions. The first 5 main battalions have 4 heavy machine guns and 20 light machine guns each; the last 7 battalions have 3 heavy machine guns and 15 light machine guns each.

5 grenade launcher battalions, 4 battalions with 36 grenade launchers, and 1 simplified battalion with 24 grenade launchers, providing close-range artillery support.

A reinforced infantry artillery battalion with 13 Type 4 infantry guns and a mountain artillery company with 75 Type mountain guns, providing long-range artillery support.

Together with the regiment's direct company, engineering company, special service company, reconnaissance company, cavalry company, and guard company, there are a total of 4500 people.

With sufficient ammunition, they are strong and powerful.

During this period, Li Yunlong was not idle. He took the battalion and company commanders to study the map from Yuan County to Xiang County, and also selected the location for ambush on the Zaoshan Detachment - Hengtangpu.

The independent regiment is ready and is just waiting for the brigade commander to provide specific information about the Zaoshan Detachment.

For such a large-scale operation, we must have detailed intelligence on the enemy. Otherwise, if we change the ambush location due to enemy adjustments, we will be exposed and suffer heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the brigade commander's information was timely and was sent over within two days.

The Zaoshan Detachment did not add many heavy weapons, it was still a standard field regiment, a tank squadron (7 Type ultra-light tanks), and a standard reorganized battalion.

However, the Japanese planes often appeared in that area, which did serve as a warning to Li Yunlong.

"It seems that we have to set off early to prevent the Japanese aircraft from conducting reconnaissance!"

Li Yunlong sighed and said to Wei Dayong:

"Call the company-level cadres and Zhang Wu to come to the meeting and assign combat tasks!"

"Yes!"

Wei Dayong agreed to notify them immediately.

The war is finally here!

Upon receiving the notice, Zhang Wu was overjoyed and went straight to the regiment headquarters.

Not long after he arrived at the regimental headquarters, the other battalion and company commanders all arrived.

After the greeting, Li Yunlong spread out the map, pointed to the small-at-the-bottom-and-big-at-the-bottom Hengtangpu and said:
"I won't say any more nonsense. Now I order:

The 11st and 12nd Battalions will lead the 10th and 3th Battalions to guard the eastern exit. The rd, th and th Battalions will lead the th Battalion to guard the western entrance. The other battalions will line up in the middle. When all the Japanese enter Hengtangpu, they will open fire at the same time when they see my signal flares. I don't ask how many can be killed in the first wave, but we must divide them into three parts so that they can't take care of each other! "

The commanders of the 12 battalions stood at attention and puffed out their chests:

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong then looked at the six grenade launcher battalions:
"You should still form company units and disperse behind each battalion to provide artillery support!"

The company commanders of the six grenade launcher battalions stood at attention and puffed out their chests:
"Yes!"

Li Yunlong looked at Liang Shuisheng again:
"Shuisheng, it's better to place your artillery battalion 2 kilometers away to provide long-range artillery support!"

"Yes!"

Liang Shuisheng stood at attention with full confidence and said:
"Captain, my artillery battalion has suffered the least casualties in history, and this time it was reorganized the earliest, so the proficiency of the artillery has improved.

Our artillery battalion can now compress the temporary adjustment time of infantry artillery and mountain artillery, whether it is a salvo or a separate artillery attack by 17 units, to less than 2 minutes!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. If the long-range artillery fire could also be controlled as he wished, he would be more adept at dealing with the Japanese's changes in formation!
"Well done!"

Li Yunlong praised, then looked at all the battalion and company commanders:
"Look, you should all learn from Shuisheng. When you have nothing to do, practice your own skills, so that I won't ask you about war and you won't be able to answer any questions!"

Several battalion commanders knew what Li Yunlong meant, and they couldn't help but lower their heads in shame. Li Yunlong snorted, and finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, there are a lot of Japanese Iron Turtle this time. I'll give you 200 rounds of bullets. Your mission is quite heavy. First, attack the Japanese command center in the back, then go to the middle and attack the Japanese Iron Turtle. Make sure they don't use the Iron Turtle to cover and then fight back.

All that's left is to focus on taking care of the Japanese regiment artillery. Help me delay them while the artillery is adjusting!"

Having said this, he paused as if he had thought of something, and then continued:

"Oh, and there are also the Japanese planes!

The ambush location this time is close to southwest Shanxi, so there may be quite a few Japanese planes coming to our place.

If the Japanese planes come to dive-bomb, kill them as soon as possible. I will take 2 machine guns from each battalion to help you set the trap! "

Zhang Wu smiled and assured confidently:

"Don't worry, Commander. I will never let the devils act arrogantly in front of us!"

"Good job! These are my Li Yunlong's soldiers!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder, then glanced at everyone:
"Listen carefully, every battalion should give Zhang Wubei 200 rounds of ammunition!
You guys can just laugh secretly, with such a small amount of bullets, Zhang Wu can help you shoot down planes, tanks, and heavy firepower! With him around, the firepower of the Japanese falling on your heads will be reduced by at least 3%! "

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, all the battalion and company commanders laughed and echoed:
"Yes, Zhang Wu is the guarantee for reducing casualties in our regiment!"

"That's right. If it weren't for Zhang Wu, our regiment wouldn't have achieved such a good casualty ratio that would have won praise from the brigade commander or even the general manager!"

As they spoke, people looked at Zhang Wu and nodded in greeting:
"Don't worry, Zhang Wu. I'll prepare 300 rounds for you when the time comes!"

"Zhang Wu, you've worked hard in this battle. I'll treat you to a drink after the battle!"

"Leave it to me if you need anything from now on..."

When everyone had finished speaking, Li Yunlong waved his hand and scolded with a smile:

"Alright, let's all go get ready. We have to be on guard against reconnaissance by the Japanese aircraft. We will set off in two days!"

Everyone stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes!"

As the order was issued, the entire independent regiment began to move. Some were on guard, some were distributing ammunition, and some were preparing dry food. It was busy but orderly.

On the day of departure, when he heard the assembly call, Zhang armed himself with the 200 rounds of bullets he had received, put a dagger on his waist, put on a bulletproof vest and tactical gloves, and a ghillie suit on the outside, then carried his Carl 98K on his back and went to the assembly point.

After everyone gathered, Li Yunlong originally wanted to make a pre-war mobilization, but the soldiers had been holding their breath for a long time and couldn't wait to fight the Japanese, so he didn't need to mobilize at all.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Gang couldn't help but give Li Yunlong a thumbs up in admiration. With such morale, there are no Japanese devils that they can't kill.
Li Yunlong smiled knowingly, and after briefly explaining the situation, he set out in batches with the soldiers of the independent regiment under the cover of night.

There was no conversation on the way. After five days of forced march, hiding during the day and moving at night, the independent regiment arrived at Hengtangpu.

Hengtangpu runs east-west, with a road sandwiched between two mountains. The road is very wide, like a large pond, hence its name.

In terms of terrain, although the mountains on both sides are continuous, they are low and the slopes are gentle. There are few gullies in the mountains and you can almost see the end at a glance, which is not suitable for ambushes.

But only this necessary route is suitable for large-scale military deployment. Other places are either too small or too close, making it impossible to set up an ambush.

After checking that there was little discrepancy between the actual situation and the map, Li Yunlong asked commanders at all levels to lead their soldiers to build positions.

Zhang Wu also carried his gun and began to look for a sniper point that suited him.
