Independent Regiment, Yangcun.

Zhao Gang rushed into Li Yunlong's house in a hurry. He had just gone to Lijiacun to check on the training of new recruits, but found that none of the soldiers from the special operations battalion were there.

Then we went to Jiacun again, but the cavalry company also disappeared.

"Li Yunlong, what are you doing?" Zhao Gang yelled.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Yunlong sitting cross-legged on the kang, drinking wine, and the table was in a mess.

Seeing Zhao Gang come in, Li Yunlong smiled all over his face and said, "Old Zhao is back. Sit down quickly. I specially left this waist for you."

"Do you still want to drink and eat meat?" Zhao Gangzhi asked repeatedly, "Don't do this to me. Let me ask you, where are the special operations battalion and cavalry company? What happened to the regiment? Is there any fighting?

Why are you hiding this mission from me?"

"You're talking about the special operations battalion and the cavalry company." Li Yunlong smoked a cigarette, "That's right, I asked Wei Dayong and Sun Desheng to lead the troops out to fight the tooth ceremony."

"Tooth ceremony?" Zhao Gang said, "What kind of tooth ceremony? Please explain it clearly to me."

Li Yunlong said: "Today, comrades from the guerrillas came to the Independence Regiment to ask for help, saying that the Japs in the Xiadian stronghold were massacring our comrades and people. I asked Wei Dayong and Sun Desheng to secure the Xiadian stronghold. The situation was urgent and there was no time.

inform you."

"Old Li, what kind of ritual is this? This is clearly a combat operation. What right do you have to displace the troops without authorization?"

"You are seriously violating discipline!"

Li Yunlong slammed the table:

"Zhao Gang, stop staring at me. When I was fighting in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, you didn't know where I was."

"I gave the order, you go report to the division commander and brigade commander again!"

"Don't think that I don't know that the last time we raided Wanjia Town and Zhengtai Road Transportation Station, it was you who made the tip!"

"The superiors are blaming me and want to kill or behead me. I, Li Yunlong, will bear the burden!"

Zhao Gang took a deep breath to calm down: "Lao Li, you are an old comrade. You have more combat experience and military combat experience than me. In this regard, you did something wrong."

"Why didn't I explain it clearly to you last time?" Li Yunlong said loudly.

"If we rely on asking for instructions to fight the war, can we capture the Zhengtai Road Transport Station before the Japanese take away the weapons and equipment?"

"Can you eat the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army?"

"Our independent regiment now has more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, more than a dozen artillery pieces, more than 300,000 rounds of ammunition, and its strength has grown to 2,000."

"If we relied on asking for instructions to fight the war, would we be as wealthy as we are now?"

Zhao Gang said: "Then we shouldn't be so reckless. The enemy situation in the Xiadian stronghold is unknown. We should investigate in advance and then formulate a specific combat plan. The special operations battalion and cavalry company are the backbone of our regiment. What if something goes wrong?"

"Don't worry, my great political commissar."

Seeing that Zhao Gang's expression softened, Li Yunlong said: "Wei Dayong is a good guy. He is not a master who will suffer losses. Nothing will happen to him!"

With the current firepower configuration of the special operations battalion, plus the cavalry company, unless we encounter a full regiment of Japanese soldiers, it is really impossible to retain hundreds of Japanese soldiers if they want to escape.

Zhao Gang lost most of his anger and said: "Lao Li, can you discuss with me if you have something to do in the future? It's not good that even my political commissar doesn't know about such a big thing, right?"

"No problem!" Li Yunlong said, "We must discuss."

"Stop standing there." Li Yunlong brought the wine and meat to Zhao Gang, "You've been tired for a long day, drink some wine, eat some meat, and tell me about the training of new recruits."

…

After an hour and a half of rapid march, the special operations battalion and the guerrillas caught up.

After the two sides exchanged a few words, Wei Dayong held an impromptu meeting to discuss the battle plan.

Captain Zhao of the guerrilla team said: "Since ten days ago, the Japs in the Xia Dian stronghold have gone crazy, burning, killing and looting everywhere. All nearby villages that have anything to do with the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas have suffered."

"Today during the day, Watanabe Yuta took dozens of Japs to Minato Village. Before the Japs entered the village, we moved most of the villagers in advance, but there were still 10 people who had no time to escape and fell into the hands of the Japs. They were all stabbed to death or killed by the Japs.

Shot."

Everyone was furious, and Wei Dayong said with a sullen face: "Tell me about the situation at the Xia Dian stronghold."

Captain Zhao drew a sketch on the ground with a tree branch and said: "The Xia Dian stronghold has three gun towers, one outside and two inside. There are about a hundred Japanese soldiers and no puppet troops."

"How long will it take for the Japs in Xiadian Town to reach the Xiadian stronghold with support?"

Captain Zhao said: "The Japs from Xiadian Town drive along the Baijin Highway and can reach the Xiadian Stronghold in twenty minutes."

Wei Dayong asked: "Is there any place between Xiadian Town and Xiadian Stronghold that is suitable for blocking?"

Platoon leader Yuan next to Captain Zhao pointed to the map brought by Wei Dayong and said: "This place is called Shishan. It is not marked on the map. The geographical location is very good. As soon as the Baijin Highway and Beishan Stronghold are dispatched, the ambush in the

You can see clearly from Shishan Mountain, and as long as the Japanese enter the ambush circle, they will have no power to fight back."

After understanding the general situation, Wei Dayong first settled down the soldiers.

Then he personally put on makeup to look like a local farmer, and took advantage of the night to conduct a careful survey of the Xia Dian stronghold and its surroundings.

The Japs stationed so many troops in this area, not only the Xiadian stronghold, but also a large group of Japs in Xiadian Town.

Needless to say, it must be to protect the safety of the traffic artery in this section of the Baijin Highway.

Japanese military cars were coming and going on the Baijin Highway very frequently, and Wei Dayong guessed that the Japanese were going to make some big move recently.

After detailed investigation, Wei Dayong revised the original battle plan.

Ambush most of the troops in Shishan to ambush the unsuspecting Japanese military vehicles transporting them back and forth on the Baijin Highway.

By then, the Japanese in Xiadian Town and Xiadian Stronghold will definitely come out to support us.

The cavalry company was waiting outside for the Japs from the Xiadian Stronghold to come out. Once the Japs from the Xiadian Stronghold entered the open area, they would become meat on the chopping block of the Cavalry Company.

The special operations battalion can also rely on its geographical advantage and firepower advantage to defeat the reinforcements coming out of Xiadian Town.

If you're lucky, you might even be able to hunt down a Japanese convoy and make a fortune.

Doing this will not only kill three birds with one stone, but also have a great chance of winning.

In the middle of the night after formulating the battle plan, Wei Dayong ordered the soldiers to set off towards the ambush site.

In order not to be discovered by the Japanese car soldiers on the Baijin Highway, Wei Dayong ordered all soldiers to advance lightly on mountain roads.

Before dawn, everyone from the special operations battalion, county brigade, and guerrillas arrived at the ambush position chosen by Wei Dayong himself.

The sky gradually gets brighter.

At this time, the sound of car motors entered the ambush position from far to near.
