In the first battle of Niushantun, due to the secret actions of the special cavalry company and the fact that there was no living hole left in the battle, the little devil and the Kuomintang did not perceive the existence of this special force, and they did not cause any shocks within the two sides.

After all, a Japanese puppet army of only more than 100 people was completely annihilated, and it often happened in this area where the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were staggered, and it was not a big deal.

But at the Jichajin headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it was a completely different situation!

On the second day of the punishment, he sent someone to send the summary report of this operation to the regiment headquarters, and after reading it, he was greatly shocked, and then Li Yunlong, who smiled crookedly, quickly sent it to the general headquarters.

Although this report only mentions a number of weapons and ammunition captured, the astonishing data of 158 enemy annihilation and 0 casualties caused a huge shock.

For the Eighth Route Army, which was backward in equipment and training, the battle loss ratio of 1 to 2 and 1 to 5 between the enemy and us was already a rare miracle, not to mention the reverse of the situation, but also against the sky 0 to 158......

The deputy commander-in-chief was stunned for a minute!

It was also on this day that the confidential level of the special cavalry company was directly promoted to the highest level, all information was set to top secret, and no one was allowed to access the information of the independent regiment except for the head of the independent regiment and the head of the headquarters.

And the "Special Cavalry Company", which is only a cavalry company of an independent regiment on the surface, has become the most mysterious unit in the Jichajin region!

As for Li Yunlong, who has such a strong army under his command, he is so beautiful in his heart, his waist is stiff, and he even walks with a float.

If you are caught alive or something, you don't care at all, and you can properly admit defeat in betting!

And the next day, Lisuo reported Xingfeng to the position of deputy regiment commander, making him the only grassroots company commander in the whole army at the level of deputy regiment commander.

After this battle, the special cavalry company had abundant supplies for all kinds of combat life, so it did not go out to perform tasks again, and fully entered the mode of "retreat and cultivation".

Sharpen your sword and wait for it to be unsheathed!

Time passed, time flies, two months passed in a blink of an eye, the war began, and the smoke of gunpowder rose.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Jicha-Jin area, which had been silent for a long time, began to launch a large-scale corps attack on the enemy and puppet armies on all fronts in North China in accordance with the unified deployment of the General Headquarters.

It took less than two months for more than 100 regiments with a total of more than 400,000 men to turn the rear of the Japanese army upside down and cause chaos, and the Japanese army's communications and communications were basically paralyzed.

In order to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army entrenched in Shanxi, the Japanese army sent a large number of reinforcements from various theaters in North China to march into Shanxi in a big way, and approached all parts of the Eighth Route Army by different routes, in an attempt to form a flanking attack from the east and west, and complete the clearing and suppression battle in one fell swoop.

The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, and I run away after the fight, this is the combat routine of the Eighth Route Army!

After completing the first stage, in the face of the Japanese counterattack, the units of the Eighth Route Army, under the unified command of the headquarters, immediately began an overall strategic shift and began to prepare for the second phase of the operation.

Jin Province Border District!

This is the border base of the Eighth Route Army, which can be said to be the most important core area in addition to the general headquarters, and the entire Jichajin region, from weapons and ammunition to life and war materials, all come from here.

In order to cooperate with the operational strategy of the General Headquarters and to ensure the security of the base area, the entire 386 Brigade carried out a strategic transfer and came here from the Jinzhong area.

Due to its particularity, the independent regiment was also transferred from Yangcun to Zhao Jiayu on this side, and from the position of the main regiment on the front line, it was transferred to a reserve guard force.

Its main combat mission is to cooperate with other regiments of the 386 Brigade to defend this important border base area.

And the independent regiment exists as the last line of defense, and it is easy not to send combat missions!

In this regard, the regiment commander Li Yunlong, who was uncomfortable without fighting, and Kong Jie, the deputy regiment commander, who was in the midst of a crime and desperately wanted to win a victory to wash away the "stain", were quite aggrieved in their hearts.

It's a pity that this is the big battle strategy of the headquarters, no matter how big the two of them are, they can only watch other troops "make trouble" everywhere, and all kinds of loot are soft, and they squat in the rear with bitter dry eyes.

As for Xingfeng, a special cavalry company that is specially taken care of by the headquarters, an absolute trump card lurking in the shadows, it also has no combat mission, and in addition to training every day, it is still training.

However, Xing Feng knows that good steel must be used with good knives, and he is also happy to be idle!

Every day, they either change their methods to "torture" their soldiers, or use various modern military concepts to tinker with the equipment in their hands to make these equipment more suitable for cavalry combat.

For example, six Type 92 infantry guns of more than 200 kilograms, all of which were disassembled into separate parts, and after discarding useless baffles and wheels, plus the required 70-mm shells, were evenly distributed to each soldier of the 12th and 11th groups, so that they could run wild with their horses.

He then provided each of the fighters of the 10th group with an 82-mm mortar, and the 9th group was responsible for carrying the ammunition.

Eventually, the four cavalry groups with artillery were organized into a squad, an artillery squad that could attack at any time over long distances and quickly, and was renamed the "Mounted Artillery Team" by Xingfeng.

The soldiers in the team have become a new type of arms that has never appeared in World War II - cavalry artillery!

And the appearance of this mounted artillery team has also raised the combat capability of the special cavalry company to a higher level again.

There is a boss "covered" by the boss on the Xingfeng side, and there is no shortage of all kinds of materials, but Li Yunlong, as the head of the regiment, does not have such a good treatment.

No, in order to store enough equipment and materials, and want to fight a big war, Li Yunlong will go directly to the arsenal located in the base area of Lijiapo.

Although it took less than half a month for the independent regiment to move here, Li Yunlong is familiar with this place, and it can be said that he is so familiar that he can't be more familiar.

Comrade Li Yunlong is also in the border area of the clothing factory, and the director of the factory who has been working for a period of time is not!

As soon as he entered the arsenal, he spotted a person, and walked up with a smile and shouting "Lao Zhang".

"Yo, isn't this Grand Master Li, rare guest, what's the matter, I returned my two hundred sets of military uniforms?"

This old Zhang is the "boss" of the border area - Minister Zhang, and he has always remembered the last time Li Yunlong sneaked back to the regiment with 200 new military uniforms without his permission.

"Military uniforms? What military uniform? ”

Li Yunlong pretended to be stupid, handed over a cigarette with a smile, and said closely: "I'm not poor lately, my brothers can't open the pot, didn't I come to find Minister Zhang on purpose, my fellow villager Zhang of Dabie Mountain came to save his life." ”
