Chapter 96 Tactics
Before Zhang Wu could speak, Li Yunlong said vigilantly:

"Don't think that just because I accept your favor, you can take advantage of Zhang Wu!
I remember when we were observing the group, Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army offered weapons and equipment for 2500 people plus 12 mountain cannons to exchange for Zhang Wu, but I didn’t even bother!
You are trying to get something for nothing here, it's impossible!"

"Weapons and equipment for 2500 men plus 12 mountain guns?"

Kong Jie repeated in disbelief, then patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and said with emotion:

"Zhang Wu, you are very valuable now!"

The other battalion and company commanders also looked at Zhang Wu with surprise and envy. They did not expect that Zhang Wu would be so valued by the commander of the foreign regiment!
However, they didn't think there was anything wrong, Zhang Wu's strength was so strong!

They even echoed one by one:

"The leader of the 358th Regiment really knows how to do business. I can hear the beads in his abacus ringing!"

"Yeah, he wants to replace Zhang Wu with 2500 men's weapons and equipment plus 12 mountain cannons. How could he think of that?"

"That's right. We have such good weapons and equipment now. Aren't they all captured by Zhang Wu? Let alone the weapons and equipment of more than 2000 people, even if it's for more than 5000 people, I don't think it's worth Zhang Wu alone!"

Being praised so highly by people at the rank of company commander or above, Zhang Wu felt a little overwhelmed.

When everyone had finished speaking, Li Yunlong waved his hand:

"That's enough. If you keep praising me, Zhang Wu won't be able to come back to heaven! I won't say any more nonsense. The brigade has given us the combat mission!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became serious and they began to rub their hands together.

The same was true for Zhang Wu. He had been eager to kill the Japanese devils!

Li Yunlong spread out the map, called people to gather around, pointed to the Mawang Temple on it and said:

"The brigade commander ordered that we have three days to get to Mawang Temple and prepare for an ambush.

At that time, the Niaoshan Regiment of the Hexian Mining Area will support a Japanese battalion carrying heavy weapons in the county town and pass through Mawang Temple. It is unknown how many weapons and equipment they have.

Our mission is to kill them all!

The brigade commander will feint an attack on the county town to coordinate our ambush!"

At this point he glanced at everyone:
"Tell me, how do you fight?"

People looked at the terrain of the hills around Mawang Temple and began to express their opinions:

"I think we should place the ambush point on the north slope. The terrain on the north slope is suitable for our entire regiment to deploy, and it is also easy to concentrate firepower!"

"I think it's better to go to the south slope, cut the Japanese in half, and then eliminate them section by section!"

"No, no, you have to consider that the Japs are carrying a large number of heavy weapons. If we are all crowded together, won't we be afraid that the Japs will bomb us inaccurately?"

They seemed to be discussing intensely when Li Yunlong found Zhao Gang and asked:

"Old Zhao, how many soldiers have we recruited in the past few days?"

Zhao Gang smiled:
"Thanks to taking down four strongholds and artillery towers in one night, our independent regiment has become famous in this area.

In the four days you were away, more and more young men came to join the army. Together with the two companies we recruited earlier, there are almost a battalion of new recruits now!"

Li Yunlong's expression relaxed:
"After the ambush, we have to attack the county town, so we don't have time to expand separately. In this way, we can directly disperse them into the original three battalions and form three reinforced battalions. We can also be more confident in ambushing!

After half of the captured weapons and equipment were distributed to Kong Jie, the remaining heavy firepower was also distributed to each battalion to strengthen the firepower. "

After a pause, he continued, "Also, we can't stop recruiting soldiers! The Japanese want to form a huge encirclement on the periphery. It will be a big and fierce battle. We have to replenish troops continuously."

Zhao Gang nodded:
"Don't worry, I will let Secretary Chen continue to recruit soldiers!"

Giving Zhao Gang a look that said "I can trust you to do the job", Li Yunlong returned to the crowd and asked:

"Well, have you figured out how to fight?"

People seemed to have reached a consensus, and Zhang Dabiao came out and said:
"Captain, we think it would be better to place the ambush point on the northern slope of Mawang Temple.

The terrain of the north slope is similar to the Tieyan slope where we fought the Shen Teng Battalion, and it is higher and has no blind spots. Without knowing how much heavy firepower the Japanese have, it is safest to disperse the troops, concentrate the fire, and then cut the Japanese in half from the center line of the arc. "

"Well, let's do it this way!"

After Li Yunlong discovered that the terrain was similar to Tieyanpo, he decided to fight like this:

"Now I order the first battalion to cut off the western side of the north slope, the second battalion to cut off the eastern side of the north slope, and the third battalion to be in the middle and support both sides at any time!"

The company commanders of the three battalions all stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes!"

Li Yunlong glanced at them again:
"Our regiment still has three heavy machine guns and 3 light machine guns left from this capture. They will be distributed to your three battalions along with a new battalion of recruits.

You guys distribute the weapons yourselves, and the new recruits must be led by veterans, so that they can learn how to follow the large forces and act in unison as quickly as possible!"

Hearing that the firepower could be strengthened, the company commanders of the three battalions all nodded with joy. As for the old leading the new, this was the tradition of the Eighth Route Army and it was no big deal at all!

Zhang Dabiao even said:
"Don't worry, Captain. We all went through this process. We have veterans to teach us step by step. Three days is enough!"

Li Yunlong nodded, then looked at Liang Shuisheng:

"Shuisheng, our regiment still has two 2mm mortars left. These have a longer range than infantry guns. Can you do the same as infantry guns and temporarily adjust them within 90 minutes to fire wherever you point them?"

Liang Shuisheng immediately patted his chest and said:

"No problem, Commander. It's just that the artillery has to be drawn from the veterans in the grenade launcher!"

"Row!"

Li Yunlong agreed directly:
"There will be 12 more grenade launchers sent out. As for the artillery, you can directly transfer any one you like. I will give you two days to reorganize the grenade launcher battalion and the artillery reinforcement platoon. Is there any problem?"

Liang Shuisheng stood at attention and saluted:
"no problem!"

Li Yunlong finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, the Japanese must have brought a lot of heavy firepower this time. You should choose your own shooting point. I give you 150 rounds of bullets. First shoot at the Japanese heavy artillery!
But it takes 2 minutes for our infantry guns to adjust, and 1 minute for our grenade launchers to adjust. During this time, it's up to you to suppress the Japanese's counterattack! "

Zhang Wu smiled confidently:
"Don't worry, Captain. I'm good at this!"

"Well, you are the one I trust the most in the Independent Regiment!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu's shoulder with satisfaction, then glanced at everyone:

"Use my flare as a signal and attack together! Okay, everyone go down and get ready!"

After they left, Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and said with a pout:
"Old Li, you didn't come up with any new tactics this time? Did you see me coming and deliberately hold back?"

"Why are you still so rigid, Kong Erleng?"

Li Yunlong looked at him with one eye wide open and one eye narrowed:
"Warfare should be based on actual conditions, not on fancy moves in every battle, especially this time, we don't know how much heavy firepower the Japs are carrying!
Ruth looked at the ground as she walked, always trying to take big steps, which easily caused her to fall off the ground!"
