"Commander, a devil has escaped." Noticing that the firepower of the devil's defense has changed, Zhang Dabiao reported to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong frowned, and after Zhang Dabiao's reminder, he also noticed the change in the devil's firepower. Li Yunlong had rich combat experience, so he could naturally guess that it was the change in the strength of the devils that would lead to a weakening of defensive firepower.

"No hurry! Wait for our regiment to rush forward and kill these little devils who are defending, and then attack those devils who are fleeing,"

"You must know that this time the headquarters and division headquarters let our independent regiment arrive in time to ensure their safety, and at the same time to ensure that the body of the deputy chief of the general staff is not damaged. We can't be reckless in this battle! Li Yunlong shook his head and said.

Zhang Dabiao has been by Li Yunlong's side for so long, it is the first time he has seen Li Yunlong so steady in battle, in the usual battle, I am afraid that he would have ordered a battalion to pursue those devils. And now, Li Yunlong has no idea of pursuing at all, but wants to kill the devils on the cross ridge as quickly as possible and find Liu Gen and them.

To be honest, Zhang Dabiao was a little unwilling, he was unwilling to let those devils go like this. In the previous transfer of the Independent Regiment, the loss of the Independent Regiment was not small, and there were not many little devils who ran away, but no matter how small the meat was, it could make up for the vitality of the Independent Regiment. Zhang Dabiao wants to pursue the devil, but he doesn't have any selfish intentions, he just wants the independent regiment to get some blood back.

"Da Biao, I know your kid's thoughts, but this time is different, our independent regiment has returned to Liao County and has an important task to do when it comes to the Cross Ridge area!"

"Killing devils and seizing equipment, isn't it at this time, with the combat effectiveness of our independent regiment, if you want to kill devils, isn't that a simple soaking of urine?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and said again.

Zhang Dabiao laughed, he understood that what Li Yunlong said was right, with the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, it was not so difficult to kill devils. After understanding this, Zhang Dabiao was no longer entangled, and continued to rush towards the cross ridge with a battalion of soldiers. In less than three attacks, the Independent Regiment managed to rush to the Cross Ridge and successfully killed the little devils who were defending on the Cross Ridge.

These little devils don't have enough firepower in their hands, and no matter how accurate their marksmanship is, they can't resist the attack of the independent regiment at all.

With the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, if you really want to directly advocate Cross Ridge, you can do it, but you need to pay a lot of price. And two or three charges before rushing to the cross ridge, it was also Li Yunlong in order to avoid too much Internet access in the independent regiment. In the devil sweep, the area where the independent regiment is located is the focus of the devil sweep, and the loss of the independent regiment is not small.

According to Li Yunlong's words, the independent regiment is a small family, and when it comes to fighting, where can it be so luxurious, and it is the best choice to save it.

As soon as the independent regiment rushed to the Cross Ridge, Li Yunlong asked the soldiers to search the Cross Ridge area to find the traces of Liu Gen and others. Li Yunlong was a little excited to be able to successfully rush to the cross ridge and kill the little devils who were defending, but he had not forgotten the mission of the independent regiment to return to Liao County this time.

Ten minutes later, some soldiers found the location of Liu Gen and the others, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang rushed over as soon as possible.

After Li Yunlong and the two arrived, Liu Gen and the three of them really put their minds at ease, and after barely saying a few words to Li Yunlong, Liu Gen and the three of them fell into a coma. After the military doctor of the Independent Regiment examined the injuries of Liu Gen and the others, he couldn't help but fall silent, and he could see that Liu Gen and the three of them were covered with wounds, and the blood had already stained their clothes blood red.

Among them, many of the wounds on Liu Gen's body were glued together with their clothes, and when the doctor separated the clothes from the wounds, the wounds bled directly.

The doctor didn't know that Liu Gen and the three of them had persevered so much until now, he could be sure that such an injury had happened to him, and it was impossible for him to persist until now, not to mention that Liu Gen and the three of them had experienced extremely tragic battles. The traces of the battle left on the cross ridge have long made everyone in the independent regiment understand how cruel the battle experienced by Liu Gen and others was, and in the end, only Liu Gen and others were left in the team of more than 30 people.

After the soldiers of the Independent Regiment searched other areas of Cross Ridge, they found two signal soldiers and more than a dozen tightly bound devil soldiers, and fought to the end, Liu Gen ordered the two signal soldiers to leave to avoid indifferent sacrifices. It is precisely because of this that the two signal soldiers will hide in hidden corners until they are discovered by the fighters of the independent regiment.

When the two signal soldiers were found by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, they were still holding the radio in their arms, and they protected the radio very well.

It wasn't until two communication soldiers and more than a dozen devils were brought to Li Yunlong that Li Yunlong specifically understood what kind of battle Liu Gen and the others had experienced, completely annihilating two devil infantry squads, and facing the attack of an infantry squadron of devils, holding on for so long, and killing and wounding so many devils at the same time, Li Yunlong could imagine the difficulty.

Thinking of the injuries on Liu Gen's three bodies, Li Yunlong was a little distressed, and he also blamed himself, if he, Li Yunlong, could have rushed to Cross Ridge with the independent regiment earlier, then the injuries on Liu Gen's three bodies would not have been so serious. From the doctor's mouth, Li Yunlong knew that many of the injuries were a little more serious and could take the lives of Liu Gen and the others.

"Lao Li, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not easy for us to get to Cross Ridge in time."

"Along the way, our independent regiment kept a rapid march, and the soldiers were desperately hurrying, and now they can arrive in time, which is enough!" Zhao Gang saw that Li Yunlong's mood was a little low, and opened his mouth to comfort.

has been with Li Yunlong for so long, how could Zhao Gang not know about Li Yunlong's situation? Li Yunlong seems to be very arrogant, but his feelings towards the soldiers are quite real, he is not a wooden man, and naturally he has his own emotions. It's just that on weekdays, Li Yunlong's emotions will not be easily exposed.

"Lao Zhao, I understand what you mean, it's just that I'm a little sad."

"The soldiers who died are all the elite soldiers in our Eighth Route Army, these soldiers are still young, and they should not be sacrificed on the battlefield so easily." Li Yunlong said bitterly.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were both a little silent, and it was inevitable that they would die in battle, but every time they saw the sacrifices of the soldiers, as commanders, they would still feel very uncomfortable in their hearts. Especially when Li Yunlong and the others saw the grave of the deputy chief of general staff, their hearts became heavier and heavier, with the talent of the deputy chief of general staff, he could do more for the Eighth Route Army.

As the deputy chief of the general staff, he could have retreated first during the sweep and did not have to choose to stay, but the deputy chief of the general staff still chose to stay, and finally died on the cross ridge.

"Don't use this, Lao Zhao, have you contacted the master's department?" Li Yunlong rubbed his eyes vigorously and asked.

Zhao Gang shook his head, "The personnel of the division headquarters should be moving, and they have not been able to contact them for the time being, and our correspondents are constantly working hard to get in touch with the division headquarters as soon as possible." ”

"Well, okay, then our independent regiment will do our best to defend Cross Ridge. If there is such a big movement, the devil troops will definitely attack in the direction of Cross Ridge, and we can't let our guard down next. Li Yunlong said with a serious expression.

After fighting with the devil for so long, Li Yunlong knows the devil very well, plus the devil's sweep has not completely ended, and the movement in the cross ridge is not small, and the devil will naturally not easily choose to admit defeat. The devil lost two infantry squads and one infantry squadron in the Cross Ridge area, how could the devil easily endure this breath?

"I have taken this into account, the soldiers are already carrying out civil engineering work and building fortifications, and I believe that we will be able to build a complete fortification before the devil troops arrive." Zhao Gang said seriously.

Li Yunlong laughed, and immediately felt a lot more relieved, he found that the cooperation between him and Zhao Gang became more and more tacit, as if it was still very good to have such a political commissar. At this time, Li Yunlong had long forgotten what his attitude was when Zhao Gang came to the Independent Regiment.

"Lao Zhao, it's really good to have you here, it makes me a lot easier." Li Yunlong couldn't help but say.

Zhao Gang laughed, and after talking to Li Yunlong, he took the soldiers to observe again in the Cross Ridge area. As the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, Zhao Gang needs to do a lot of things, just came to the Cross Ridge area, he needs to be familiar with the surrounding environment for the first time, and he can't always be transferred to the time, he doesn't know anything.

After the arrival of the Independent Regiment, the Cross Ridge area became quiet again, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment as they carried out their earthwork. Among them, no voices of the fighters could be heard talking, and what they saw in the Cross Ridge area made the soldiers not have any idea of wanting to talk.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment are very skilled in earthwork, and when they follow Li Yunlong, they do not do this kind of thing.

Two hours later, a small army of devils arrived in the area of Cross Ridge, and after seeing the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who were doing earthwork on Cross Ridge, this small army of devils did not make any moves, but chose to observe from a distance. The scale of the earthwork as shown from above Cross Ridge. This small army of devils can be sure that the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the Cross Ridge will not be small.

With the passage of time, the devil troops continued to come, although there were not many devil troops each time, but after two hours, the devil troops still reached as many as two infantry squadrons, not counting some traitors and puppet troops. After having sufficient troops, the devils tentatively launched an attack on Cross Ridge.

I have to say that these devils were cautious enough, and after the tentative attack was defeated by the independent regiment, these devils quieted down again and had no idea of continuing the attack.

During a tentative attack, the devil found that the independent regiment defending on Cross Ridge had built fortifications and seemed ready to defend. After discovering this, the devil troops had no idea of continuing the attack, and the devil commander clearly knew that it would not be easy to attack the position of the Eighth Route Army with fortifications.

At least with their strength, it was very difficult to successfully rush to the Cross Ridge and kill the troops of the Eighth Route Army defending on the Cross Ridge.

After the devils gave up the attack, the fighters of the independent regiment continued to carry out civil engineering operations, as if they were not affected by the attack of the devil's troops at all.

"Lao Li, are we doing this too much to ignore these devils?" Zhao Gang saw that the soldiers were still working in the civil work again under Li Yunlong's order, and asked with some concern.

The devil's marksmanship is not weak, and the soldiers are engaged in earthwork, once the devil is caught, then there is a high probability of some casualties, which Zhao Gang does not want to see. It's just that Zhao Gang also knows that it is very necessary to strengthen the fortifications before the devils officially launch the attack.

Li Yunlong shook his head, "Lao Zhao, don't worry, the little cubs of our regiment are very shrewd, plus they are all in the fortifications, where can the devils easily hit them?" ”

"Besides, if you don't take advantage of the time when the devils are not attacking to strengthen the fortifications, then when the devils really attack, where will there be a chance to reinforce? Judging from the performance of these devils, Lao Tzu can be sure that these devils must still be waiting for the arrival of other devil troops. ”

Zhao Gang nodded with a wry smile, and agreed with Li Yunlong's statement, he knew that what Li Yunlong said was right, strengthening the fortifications was to seize all the time to do it. If you really have to wait until the devils officially launch an attack, at that time, there will be no way to strengthen the fortifications again.

"Lao Zhao, in this war, sacrifice is inevitable, and the only thing we can do is to reduce casualties as much as possible." Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and said with a serious expression.

In getting along with Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong had already discovered Zhao Gang's problems, that is, he couldn't see the sacrifices of the soldiers. In other words, Zhao Gang has not experienced enough battles, but because Zhao Gang is the political commissar of the independent regiment, it is impossible to rush to the front line every time.

In order to change Zhao Gang's thoughts, Li Yunlong could only tell Zhao Gang in this way, so that he could see this matter. The day he stepped on the battlefield, he should be ready to sacrifice, and he should also look away from the sacrifices of other people around him, Li Yunlong has always known this.

Zhao Gang was a little silent, he looked at the other soldiers around him, he could see that the soldiers who were doing the earthwork were very calm, without too much panic. Some of the soldiers who have not been on the battlefield many times may still be a little nervous, but under the influence of other veterans around them, they also quickly become calm.

Looking at these calm warriors, Zhao Gang seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

"Regiment Commander, Company Commander Liu, they have woken up." At this moment, a soldier came running to report to Li Yunlong. In the Independent Regiment, the soldiers are still more accustomed to calling Liu Gen the commander of the Liu Company, and the soldiers have always remembered when Liu Gen was the commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked happy, and said with some excitement: "Let's go, let's go see them!" ”
