On the night he returned to the special operations camp, Wei Dayong sent the Langya team to conduct reconnaissance along the Baijin Highway.

In the early morning of the third day, the three members of the Langya team rode back on their fast horses and found a suitable location for an ambush in the area bordering Qi County and Xiangyuan County.

After understanding the situation, Wei Dayong rode a fast horse to Yangcun to report the matter to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

When they arrived at the Yangcun Independent Regiment Headquarters, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Chu Yunfei were sitting in the courtyard of the Regiment Headquarters, talking loudly, and they seemed to be having a great time.

I saw Li Yunlong saying: "Being a soldier must have momentum and the energy to fight to the end. It is like a swordsman. When he meets his opponent on a narrow road, he finds that the opponent is actually the best swordsman in the world. At this time, he knows that he is going to die, but he must show his face.

If you don’t have the courage to draw a sword, don’t be a swordsman. There is no shame in falling to your opponent’s sword. That’s called defeat, but we Chinese soldiers should not be cowards!”

"When encountering an enemy, you must draw your sword and never be vague!"

Li Yunlong's eloquent speech immediately attracted Chu Yunfei's admiration: "Brother Yunlong said it well! When you encounter an enemy, you must draw your sword, and blood will be splashed in seven steps. Either you die or I die!"

Under the influence of Li Yunlong, the regiment leader, the soldiers of the independent regiment are also different from other troops.

The soldiers have a common temperament, that is, they are fierce and decisive in their attacks, and they have the courage to fight the enemy desperately.

This can be seen in hand-to-hand combat. The first move is to kill the killer. Blocking and other self-protection methods are rarely used. Every move is meant to kill the enemy together. Some soldiers have their abdomens cut open with bayonets and their intestines hanging outside their bodies.

, but still stabbed the Japanese with the bayonet fiercely.

Wei Dayong stood a few meters away and winked at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Yunlong, Brother Zhao, should I avoid it?"

"No need." Li Yunlong said to Wei Dayong, "Don't be so secretive. All important military matters of our regiment will be made public to Commander Chu."

Wei Dayong said: "Captain, according to your order, I sent soldiers to investigate along the Baijin Highway the day before yesterday, and found an ambush site in the area bordering Qi County and Xiangyuan County."

Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, we should still be more cautious."

Li Yunlong smiled at Chu Yunfei and said: "Our army has always paid attention to military leadership, look at these garrulous people."

"Why can't I understand something?" Chu Yunfei asked doubtfully.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Li Yunlong said, "Just look at the map and you will understand."

The four of them walked into the regiment war room. Wei Dayong spread the military map on the table and pointed to a location on it.

"It is roughly at this location, which is not marked on our map. There are low hills on both sides of the road in this area, which cannot hide people. Only this place has a dangerous terrain, which is very suitable for an ambush. The local people call this place Tsim Shan Tsui."

Li Yunlong and others looked at the map in the direction pointed by Wei Dayong. It was located at the border of Qi County and Xiangyuan County. It looked relatively remote.

And judging from the map, it is not very far from Yangcun, about 45 kilometers.

Zhao Gang said: "This place seems to be relatively remote. It is in an enemy-occupied area. If a large force goes there, it will be difficult to hide from the enemy's eyes."

Li Yunlong said: "Then we will do the same as the last time we attacked the Huting stronghold, rest during the day and march at night, and ambush to this position before dawn."

Zhao Gang wanted to say something more, but Li Yunlong said again: "If you are afraid of this or that, why fight anymore? That's it. I will take the special operations battalion, the first battalion and the cavalry company. Old Zhao, you will take the second and third battalions."

and the artillery battery are responsible for protecting the security of the headquarters."

Subsequently, Li Yunlong sent the communications troops to prepare the first battalion, the special operations battalion and the cavalry company to assemble, the cooking squad prepared three days of dry food, and the logistics department prepared mules and carts.

Chu Yunfei on the side had already guessed the purpose of Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong.

Later, Li Yunlong asked Chu Yunfei: "Brother Yunfei, what do you think?"

"I came to your department this time to be a student. I only brought my ears and eyes." Chu Yunfei replied.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and Wei Dayong, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Yunfei is not willing to teach you, then we won't force it."

Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "I have a question. Captain Li has always been eclectic in his wars. Why is he only seeking petty profits this time?"

"Brother Yunfei is so loud." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "That is the Japanese transport team. My troops have no food and clothing, so I have to find a way to pick them out from the Japanese's mouths and remove them from the Japanese."

Take off your clothes!"

"Our Eighth Route Army is different from your Jinsui Army. You eat Chairman Chiang's royal rations. You have enough to eat, clothing and clothing, and everything you need."

Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "I'm afraid Brother Yunlong is not just targeting the Japanese transport team, right?"

"Of course!" Li Yunlong said solemnly, "If you want to take food from the devil's mouth, you must first chop off the devil's head!"

…

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The chief of staff held several documents in his hand and said to the boss: "From the detailed battle report reported by the independent regiment, the intelligence sent back by the county magistrate of Xiangyuan County and our high-level comrades lurking in the Japanese army, we have verified from many aspects that the special operations battalion of the independent regiment

Together with the cavalry company, they indeed wiped out the Japanese Sato Brigade in Xiadian Town!"

"With less than 100 casualties, we wiped out a whole Japanese brigade. Boss, this is really a great victory!"

The special operations battalion suffered more than 40 casualties, while the county brigade, guerrillas and cavalry companies also suffered some casualties, but the total casualties did not reach 100.

"Well done!" the boss said: "The special operations battalion and cavalry company, combat battalion and combat company of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment were awarded respectively. The whole army announced the awards and gave verbal commendations to the county brigade and guerrillas who participated in the battle."

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Okay, I will go and convey the commendation from the headquarters."

At this time, the decoder in charge of telegrams at the headquarters took a telegram and handed it to the boss.

After the boss read it, his expression suddenly became serious, and he walked to the military map to look at it.

"Boss, what happened?" Seeing this, the chief of staff couldn't help but ask.

The boss said: "The Japanese 4th Brigade and 9th Brigade advanced more than 40 miles south respectively."

"Oh?" The chief of staff took the telegram, looked at it, walked to the map, and looked at the map side by side with the boss.

Then, the boss said to the soldier on the phone: "Call and ask the 129th Division if there have been any combat operations recently, why the enemy's 4th Brigade and 9th Brigade advanced 40 miles south, and what happened to stimulate them?

them!"

…

Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong has assembled his troops and is preparing to set off.

Zhao Gang walked out of the house and said to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, the teacher's phone number."

"You, Mr. Zhao, are going to accuse me, Li Yunlong, of being cunning again?" Li Yunlong tilted his head and looked at Zhao Gang carefully.

Zhao Gang said seriously: "Old Li, I can't hide such a big thing and not report it."

Li Yunlong suppressed his anger and said to Zhao Gang: "You, Zhao Gang, studied broadcasting at Yenching University, and you specialize in making small reports on me behind my back!"

In desperation, Li Yunlong had no choice but to walk into the regiment headquarters to answer Teacher Liu's call.

Li Yunlong grabbed the receiver and put it to his ear when he heard Mr. Liu's voice: "Li Yunlong, I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to hear first?"
