"You guys talk first, I have something to do outside. Call me when everyone is here for the meeting." Zhao Gang said.

Li Yunlong said: "Go ahead and let Xiao Zhang call you later."

After Zhao Gang went out, Wei Dayong suddenly asked: "Captain, are you doing Xiangzhuang's sword dance with Peigong in mind, right?"

"What object?" Li Yunlong looked stunned.

Wei Dayong said: "What I mean is that you want to surround the point for reinforcements, pretend to attack the Huting stronghold, lure out the 8th mixed brigade of the Imperial Association Army in Qi County, and then eat it in one bite?"

"No." Li Yunlong shook his head.

Not really, am I wrong?

Just when Wei Dayong was confused, Li Yunlong chuckled: "I want both the Huting stronghold and the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army!"

When Li Yunlong first came to the Independent Regiment and took office, the entire regiment had less than 800 members, and each person was given less than one gun and five rounds of ammunition.

Less than half a year has passed, and the independent regiment has replaced its guns with cannons. Each soldier has a uniform 38-gun and can be allocated 100 rounds of 65-mm bullets. Each company is equipped with three light machine guns, providing complete light and heavy firepower.

There are even artillery companies, cavalry companies, and Wei Dayong's special operations company, and their combat effectiveness is no longer the same.

As a family gets richer, their appetite becomes bigger.

Li Yunlong now looks down upon the Huting stronghold.

However, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat, so Li Yunlong was reluctant to give up the Huting stronghold.

Wei Dayong hissed and raised his voice: "You want both the Huting Stronghold and the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Alliance Army?!"

"Keep your voice down!" Li Yunlong said quickly, "Don't let the political commissar hear you."

Wei Dayong asked: "Commander, we attacked the Huting stronghold without asking our superiors for instructions?"

"Bullshit, are we, Mr. Li, the kind of person who moves troops without asking for instructions?" Li Yunlong said, "We asked our superiors for instructions on the Tiger Pavilion stronghold. The brigade headquarters has approved our action, but the ambush of the Eighth Army of the Imperial Alliance

It’s a mixed brigade, hehe.”

When he said this, Wei Dayong understood that the brigade commander of Huting stronghold would definitely look down on him.

But the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army is different. That is the equipment of a brigade. How can the brigade commander not be greedy?

Therefore, Li Yunlong secretly built a plank road to Chencang, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Huting stronghold to hunt rabbits and eat the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

Li Yunlong said: "Whether this plan can succeed or not depends on you, monk."

"I?"

Li Yunlong said: "That's right, if we can capture the Huting stronghold within half an hour, and then the whole regiment quickly rushes to Hutouling to set up an ambush, and the reinforcements from Qi County are Japanese or puppet troops, we can still have a good fight.

Ambush."

"It depends on whether your flying thunder cannon can blow up the bunkers and gun towers of the Huting stronghold."

Wei Dayong looked serious: "I promise to complete the mission!"

"Well done!" Li Yunlong praised, and suddenly said, "By the way, the division headquarters is going to send someone to learn how to fly thunder cannons with you. He seems to be the commander of the engineer company directly under the division headquarters."

"Okay!" Wei Dayong nodded.

Since the higher-ups attach great importance to this flying thunder cannon, he will not hide it.

If the Eighth Route Army had attack equipment such as rocket launchers and mountain artillery, the strongholds and artillery towers in the entire North China region would become a coffin built by the Japanese and puppet troops for themselves.

Although the flying thunder cannon is not as good as the rocket launcher and mountain cannon, it is still much better than using human lives to fill the base of the fort tower, right?

Soon, the three battalion commanders of the independent regiment, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao, and the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng, all arrived one after another.

The independent regiment's military combat meeting began, and the host was naturally the regiment leader Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong has always disliked democracy and does not need others to express their opinions. He alone has the final say on everything in the independent group.

After some deployment, the final order was given: "The first battalion and the special operations company will carry out the main attack from the front, and the second and third battalions will be responsible for feigning attacks from the south and north to attract the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops. Once the monk's flying thunder cannon is blown up, The first battalion and the special operations company quickly rushed into the Japanese bunker and resolved the battle within half an hour!"

"The Huting stronghold only consists of a small group of Japanese soldiers and a squadron of puppet soldiers. The total number of soldiers is 300. As long as the Japanese are killed, the remaining puppet soldiers will only wet their pants."

"If the bunkers and turrets are not blown up, the first battalion and the special operations company should not rush in and withdraw from the battle immediately. The enemy's machine gun bullets do not have eyes. It is like using the lives of soldiers to fill the eyes of the enemy's machine guns. Such a thing I, Li Yunlong, don’t know how to do this!”

"The local troops will help us block the Japanese reinforcements in Yangxing and Xipan strongholds."

Li Yunlong asked: "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone said in unison.

Li Yunlong said: "Well, the company commanders of each battalion will go back and let the soldiers get some sleep. The cooking team will prepare the meals, distribute all the bullets, and set off as soon as it gets dark!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Li Yunlong did not tell the whole story about his plan to hunt rabbits. Only he and Wei Dayong knew about it.

If he told everything, Zhao Gang would definitely not agree to anything, and he might even call the brigade commander and make a small report.

But after the Huting stronghold is defeated and the order is given to send troops to Hutouling, Zhao Gang will have to agree even if he doesn't agree.

After receiving the order, everyone was ready to go, but Sun Desheng sat there without moving.

"Captain, you haven't assigned tasks to the cavalry company yet." Sun Desheng's eyes were as resentful as those of a young daughter-in-law.

Li Yunlong slapped his head: "I almost forgot about your cavalry company. Your cavalry company is assembled 2 kilometers away from the Huting stronghold and is on standby."

Sun Desheng was dissatisfied and said: "Why are they drinking and eating meat in the front, while our cavalry company is watching the show in the back?"

"Why are you so stupid Sun Desheng talking so much nonsense!" Li Yunlong was annoyed, "The Huting stronghold is full of bunkers and artillery towers, and there are barbed wire fences and trenches outside. Are your cavalry companies going up there to serve as targets for the Japanese machine guns? Execute the order, there will be battles. You are just a fool to fight. If your cavalry company has diarrhea when we get serious, I will shoot you fools!"

Sun Desheng looked serious: "Yes!"

As soon as it got dark, batches of various parts of the independent regiment marched quickly from the Xianghuting stronghold.

Five hours later, at midnight, the special operations company was the first to arrive behind a hillside outside the Huting stronghold and make preparations for the war.

Wei Dayong loaded the three oil barrels used to fire mine bombs with gunpowder, then placed baffles, and finally the modified explosive bags.

In the modified explosive package this time, Wei Dayong did not add iron sand, but increased the weight.

Each weighs ten kilograms and is more powerful.

As for why Li Yunlong chose to attack at night, on the one hand, night fighting is the specialty of the Eighth Route Army.

On the other hand, only at night can Wei Dayong's flying thunder cannon approach the stronghold within a distance of 200 meters.

If it were daytime, before the thunder cannon could be set up, the Japanese grenade would have come over.

Once the grenade from the grenade hit the explosive package and failed to hit the enemy, he was instead blown up into the sky.

An hour later, all battalions and companies arrived at the designated positions. Li Yunlong ordered: "The artillery should hurry up and build positions. Other troops should rest first and check their equipment!"
