"Besides, fighting is not a child's play. You can't just think about it. You must do sufficient reconnaissance before the war, and formulate detailed combat plans and various emergency plans before you can take action, such as this time to attack Hu Pavilion.

The operation at the base was executed very well!”

Zhao Gang continued: "But we know nothing about Japanese reinforcements now. We don't know how many reinforcements the enemy has sent. Did the Japanese Fourth Brigade in Yangquan send reinforcements?"

"What if all the Japanese and puppet troops in Qixian County are dispatched? What if the Fourth Brigade sends troops for reinforcements?"

"Then if we go to ambush, wouldn't we be stretching our necks in front of the Japanese?"

"Once we are bitten by the Japanese and puppet troops, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"No, it's too dangerous to ambush the Japanese reinforcements. I don't agree!"

Zhao Gang was still very cautious. He felt that taking the Huting stronghold at a very small cost and capturing a lot of money was already a big victory, so he should give it up now.

At this time, the reinforcements who ran to ambush the Japanese might all have to join in.

However, Li Yunlong would not listen to the scholar Zhao Gang when it came to fighting.

During the battle at Cangyunling, he dared to resist orders on the battlefield and go head-on with the elite Sakata Regiment among the elite of the Japanese army.

Compared with the new group at that time, the weapons and equipment of today's independent regiment are not only several grades better, but more importantly, they have sufficient ammunition.

If you have a hard guy in your hands, your waist will be hard!

Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he said coldly: "Old Zhao, we had an agreement at the beginning. You are responsible for your life. I have the final say on the war. Don't overstep your authority!"

"This is not a matter of agreement or not." Zhao Gang said, "This is a matter of principle."

"Fuck the matter of principle." Li Yunlong was also annoyed, "I've decided on this battle. You, Zhao Gang, go and report to the brigade commander and division commander!"

This time, it is a perfect opportunity to ambush the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army. There is no such shop after passing this village.

Waiting for the next opportunity, I don’t know that it will be in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse, the King of Heaven will come, and Li Yunlong will also fight.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao walked over in a hurry. Because the light was too dark, he could not clearly see the expressions on Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's faces.

Zhang Dabiao said and gestured excitedly: "Regiment commander, political commissar, we seized 6 heavy machine guns and 12 light machine guns in this battle. There are no less than 200 guns in the 38 army!"

"Zhang Dabiao, why are you so proud of yourself!" Li Yunlong scolded, "Why don't you quickly order a gathering?"

The leader is angry?

Zhang Dabiao looked serious and said immediately: "Yes!"

Then, Zhang Dabiao ran over, took a deep breath, and shouted: "First battalion, assemble quickly!"

The wild sound was like thunder, which made the ears of the messengers around him buzz.

After a while, a battalion cleaning the battlefield quickly gathered together. Each soldier's back was covered with 38 caps, bullet bags and cantaloupe grenades.

The platoon leader asked in a low voice: "Battalion Commander, what are you doing? There are still many good things that I haven't picked up yet."

"No more, no more of those." Zhang Dabiao said, "Bring all the guns and ammunition and wait for the commander's order!"

There were very few casualties in this battle. With Wei Dayong's flying thunder cannons clearing the way and the fire support of ten mortars, the Japanese and puppet troops in the Huting stronghold did not react. The first battalion and the special operations company rushed in.

The Japanese mortars and Type 92 infantry guns had not even had time to be pulled out of the warehouse.

The entire independent regiment suffered casualties of more than a dozen soldiers.

Zhao Gang was very principled and did not give in just because Li Yunlong got angry.

However, before Zhao Gang could step forward to stop him, he was stopped by Wei Dayong. Wei Dayong said: "Political Commissar, calm down, we don't know the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops, and the enemy doesn't know our true or false situation. Even the Fourth Brigade

It will take at least a day to get here from Yangquan. We will send out reconnaissance first to find out the strength of the Japanese reinforcements. If there are any problems, we can withdraw at any time. There is really no danger in this battle."

After listening to Wei Dayong's analysis, Zhao Gang felt more relieved.

After a while, the cavalry company, led by Sun Desheng, arrived at the warehouse in the Huting stronghold.

Seeing the rows of ammunition and four cannons, Sun Desheng and the soldiers of the cavalry company's eyes suddenly went straight.

"Sun Desheng, what the hell are you doing standing still?" Li Yunlong said, "Why don't you let the soldiers work quickly?"

"Yes!" Sun Desheng straightened his body, and then ordered, "Everyone dismount, don't leave a bullet for the Japanese, everyone will be lucky!"

Soon, the entire independent regiment was quickly assembled.

Li Yunlong gave the order and the whole regiment marched towards Hutou Ridge.

This time, the cavalry company was at the front, taking the lead in transporting the bullets and melon grenades captured from the Huting stronghold.

At the same time, the cavalry company sent a squad of soldiers to detect the movements of the Japanese in the direction of Qixian County.

It is twenty miles from Huting stronghold to Hutou Ridge.

All the independent regiments had iron legs, and they arrived in an hour of hasty march.

Both sides of Hutou Ridge.

More than a thousand soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, Special Operations Company and Artillery Company were sweating profusely from running and were sitting on the ground, eating dry food and working hard to recover their strength.

The cavalry company is stepping up its efforts to unload bullets and melon grenades.

As soon as Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang arrived at Hutou Ridge, they immediately surveyed the terrain without caring about anything else.

Zhao Gang took a look around and found that the terrain was not dangerous and the surrounding area was bare with no trees or other shelter.

"Old Li." Zhao Gang said with a solemn expression, "The terrain here is not a particularly good ambush location. I suggest that we return to Yangcun immediately."

"That's nonsense." Li Yunlong said, "The Japanese and puppet troops also know that this place is not suitable for ambushes, so they will relax their vigilance. We can just catch the Japanese by surprise."

"Look, these are the trenches dug by the Jinsui Army in the past to stop the Japanese. They can be used by soldiers to hide."

Hutou Ridge is actually a larger and longer bare low hill. A road divides Hutou Ridge into two parts.

Both sides of Hutou Ridge are covered with crooked trenches, and the trenches are overgrown with weeds.

How could Li Yunlong retreat so easily even if he didn't get any meat?

After finishing speaking, he ignored Zhao Gang and turned around and shouted: "Signal soldiers, call all battalions and company commanders over to me!"

Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dayong and other cadres were all called together by Li Yunlong and squatted in the trenches.

Li Yunlong didn't waste any time and directly ordered:

"Let the soldiers finish their meal quickly and distribute all the bullets and grenades!"

"The first battalion is in ambush on the left, the second battalion is in ambush on the right, and the third battalion is in reserve!"

"The cavalry company is responsible for blocking the opening in the front, and the special operations company is responsible for blocking the opening in the back!"

"As soon as the battle begins, use all fourteen cannons of your artillery battery. Don't save cannonballs for me!"

"Also, when the soldiers are ambushing, they must help all the grass they stepped on to return to their original positions. Don't let the Japanese and puppet soldiers see the flaw!"

"Hey, no matter if it's the Japanese, the puppet soldiers, or all of them, I'll make sure he never comes back!"

"do you understand?"

Everyone looked stern and shouted in unison: "Understood!"

"Now that you understand, go and prepare." Li Yunlong said, "Tell the soldiers under my command that after this battle is over, let's go back and drink and eat meat!"

"yes!"

Getting ready to leave.

Wei Dayong's expression suddenly changed and he said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, I have a suggestion!"
