Listening to Li Ziyuan's chattering and looking at Li Ziyuan, who seemed to be worried about his child's travel, Ma Yongcheng wanted to laugh a little. I have been partnered with this guy for so long, and it is the first time I have seen Li Ziyuan so tirelessly nagging about something.

You know, this guy is a typical hands-off shopkeeper in many things. has always been only grasping the big and letting go of the small, and is generally the master who does not worry about everything. Looking at it now, this guy also has a warm side. It's not all in the style of the wind and fire, but also has the side of such an old lady.

However, for Ma Yongcheng's sneer, Li Ziyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't laugh at me here, you kid, you'll know my good when I'm gone." By the way, when I come back from this outside battle, I will give you a marriage for your kid. I see that Yang Jing's attitude has changed a little now, so let's strike while the iron is hot. ”

Hearing Li Ziyuan talking, he suddenly turned to his own marriage, which frightened Ma Yongcheng. Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You kid don't talk nonsense here, what to strike while the iron is hot." Things are still far from the two of us. Don't talk nonsense, and don't mess around. ”

"Alright, don't hang around with me. The troop is about to depart, and things are complicated, and there is nothing serious about my wound. Do whatever you have to do. By the way, this time you take the troops to the division, and you must bring enough ammunition. We have a lot of stock on hand right now, enough for you to use. Don't just worry about the ammunition and ignore the casualties of the fighters. ”

Afraid that Li Ziyuan's mouth would always be a little damaged, and he would say something unpleasant, Ma Yongcheng hurriedly began to drive people away. However, his words were not wrong, Li Ziyuan should indeed be more prepared to set off now, rather than chattering and nagging here endlessly.

Hearing that Ma Yongcheng was rushing people, Li Ziyuan looked at his watch, and knew that he couldn't delay too much time at this time. After patting Ma Yongcheng on the shoulder, he took out his Browning. He asked Zhang Yuhu to go to his residence, took all the bullets, and stuffed them to Ma Yongcheng before turning around and leaving.

But Li Ziyuan didn't leave simply, after he left Ma Yongcheng, he directly asked Dong Ping and the old squad leader to come over. Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Ziyuan said without any ambiguity: "You will not participate in this operation for the time being." But that doesn't mean that after the departure of the troops, there will be nothing for you to do. ”

"There is only one task for you to stay behind, and that is to protect the political commissar and Dr. Yang for me. I leave you two platoons, each soldier with a hundred rounds of ammunition and four Japanese*. Half of the regiment's reserves* will be left for you. After Liu Lianming's reconnaissance company returns, it will also be commanded by the two of you. ”

"The commissar is a bit stubborn, don't be a donkey. When necessary, tie him up and go. Don't worry about what follows, I grant you both the right to do so. Dong Ping is in charge of the two of you militarily, and the old squad leader is in charge of other things. In a word, the commissar is here, and you are there. ”

Hearing Li Ziyuan's extremely stern tone, especially the old squad leader who spoke to him in such a stern tone for the first time. Both of them flickered in their hearts, knowing that things were not so simple. The two of them were very clear about the attack on the regimental headquarters before. But now the head of the regiment is talking to himself in this tone, which means that the matter is not over yet.

Compared with the old squad leader who has a somewhat complicated mind, Dong Ping over there is much simpler. Regarding Li Ziyuan's order, he directly stood up and saluted: "Regiment leader, please rest assured, we will definitely protect the political commissar." Even if we run out, we will ensure the safety of the commissar. ”

The assurance of the two people, Li Ziyuan waved his hand to signal that he was clear. Let Dong Ping go down first to prepare, while he himself left the old squad leader: "Old squad leader, the situation is not optimistic this time. You're a veteran, and there are some things that you know without me saying more. ”

"I have carefully considered leaving you and Dong Ping behind this time. During this time, your mission is not simply to protect the commissar. Some people and things to clean up, I don't want to wait for Deputy Commissar Qian to do it. You're always an expert at this, and I'm not at ease when I leave this matter to someone else. ”

"Old squad leader, I just need a confession and nothing else. Otherwise, you just watch the processing. There are some things that you have to be decisive when you shoot. When it is critical, killing a group of people may save more people. This feeling of thorns in my back, I definitely don't want to do it again. Let some people weigh it right, the little money they exchanged for other people's lives is not so easy to get. ”

Li Ziyuan's words made the old squad leader hesitate a little. Qian Peng's mission, from his personal point of view, knows that it is definitely not as simple as it seems. This matter should be grasped by Qian Peng. But Li Ziyuan is now letting himself do it, which is somewhat suspected of overstepping his authority. It's just that since Li Ziyuan opened his mouth, he was a little difficult to refuse.

The old squad leader's hesitation, Li Ziyuan saw it in his eyes. It's just that Li Ziyuan smiled faintly and said, "Old squad leader, I know that this matter is difficult for you." But we've paid enough for this, and I don't want to pay more. ”

"Because the price of this means life and blood for us. This is not only the blood of the cadres and fighters of the troops, but also the blood of the common people in the base areas. Wangjiagou, Lijiawa, so many innocent villagers died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army. According to Deputy Political Commissar Qian's handling method, how much more do we need to pay such a price? ”

Li Ziyuan's words finally moved Li Ziyuan. Although he was a little hesitant before, he finally nodded. Seeing the old squad leader nodding, Li Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking, turning to look at the troops arriving outside the village one after another. And when the old squad leader saw that Li Ziyuan no longer spoke, he also turned around and left to make arrangements.

The troops began to concentrate one after another, and the troops that had gone there to hunt for the Japanese snipers also withdrew. When they returned, they carried several corpses with them. One was a Japanese sniper who had been killed, and the other was their company commander and several soldiers. There were also several wounded in the team.

Looking at the casualties, Li Ziyuan almost didn't bite his lip hard. As much as I wanted to get angry, I looked at the time displayed by the watch hand on my wrist. Li Ziyuan gritted his teeth, and beckoned people to buy some white cloth and mats immediately. In this small mountain village where the troops are stationed, the coffin will definitely not be able to be gathered.

These martyrs can only be buried wrapped in white cloth and mats. During the search for the Japanese snipers, several soldiers who died, together with the sentries who died when they were attacked by devils, and Ma Yongcheng's guards, were buried on the spot on a sunny hillside of the regiment headquarters.

After doing all this, Li Ziyuan raised his hand and raised his fast and slow machine, and shot a full magazine into the sky before stopping. Such an aggrieved battle, he Li Ziyuan has been in the army for so many years, and it is the first time he has experienced it. A regimental cadre was seriously wounded, and several soldiers and a company commander were sacrificed.

But only three Japanese soldiers were killed and captured, such a disparity in the proportion of battles, and senseless sacrifices, made Li Ziyuan's heart extremely depressed. After emptying the magazine of the fast and slow machine in his hand, Li Ziyuan swept several simple cemeteries on the hillside. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and left quickly with his troops.

Although the two remaining devils have not been able to kill or catch them yet, he doesn't want to leave here. But the military order was like a mountain, and he, as a regiment commander, could not fail to carry it out. After explaining a few more words to Dong Ping, Li Ziyuan did not ride a horse, but led the troops on foot to the designated place of the sub-division and quickly drove away.

After they set off, Dong Ping took the two platoons left behind to cover the villagers and the wounded, as well as Ma Yongcheng, and quickly entered the mountains. Less than a day after they left, about a regiment of puppet troops, with the cooperation of two Japanese infantry squadrons and an infantry artillery squadron, bypassed the Qiaokou line from the south and entered the position where Li Ziyuan's regimental headquarters were located.

Shortly after this group of Japanese puppet troops entered Li Ziyuan's garrison from the direction of Huguan, a large number of Japanese puppet troops from Changzhi and various places in the southeast of Jin Province launched a new round of sweeps in the Ludong area from the south, east and north directions. In the entire Ludong area, there is another wolf smoke.

The strength of the Japanese puppet army mobilized this time is somewhat different from the past. In addition to the 1st Division of the Japanese Army stationed around Changzhi as the backbone, the troops dispatched were mainly puppet troops. Wang's puppet Second Front Army, which was deployed to defend southeast Jin, dispatched two divisions, plus the puppet security independent division, and the garrisons of various counties in Ludong.

Coupled with the other puppet armies drawn from Jinzhong and other regions, there were more than 20,000 puppet troops participating in the sweep. In the sweep launched by the Japanese puppet army, the headquarters of Wang's puppet second front army, which was transferred to the southeast of Shanxi, can be said to be the first. The troops were divided into two routes, and under the cooperation of the Japanese army or the supervision of the battle, they took the lead in entering the Ludong area.

The speed and efficiency of its actions are even more efficient than the two parts of the puppet army stationed in Ludong. Compared with this puppet army, the puppet army that was transferred from Henan by the Japanese army from Henan, which was composed of the troops of the Linxian side who were captured and surrendered to the enemy after the Battle of Linxian, was much slower.

According to their boss's character of cutting tofu on all sides, the enthusiasm for slow action is extremely low, and it can even be described as snail speed. If it weren't for the Japanese army's threat to disarm them, I am afraid that even if the Japanese army sweep was in full swing, it might not be able to reach the designated area.

And all this was only learned by Li Ziyuan, who rushed to the military division headquarters. After seeing the divisional commander, Li Ziyuan was dragged to the front of the map by the divisional commander before he had time to stand up and salute. After briefly briefing the enemy situation, the division commander said to Li Ziyuan: "Li Ziyuan, there is an important reason for transferring you back this time. ”

"The divisional intelligence department has received information from all quarters that the Japanese army has mobilized a large number of puppet troops this time, and these puppet troops are mainly preparing to carry out a sweep of our various base areas. And the Ludong area, where we are located, is the key target of the Japanese puppet army. And this regiment of yours is the most important of them. ”

"Before, you kid ate the Wang Puppet Second Front Army Teaching Regiment currently stationed in the southeast of Jin, and their boss can be said to hate you and grit his teeth. This time, when the Japanese army formulated a plan to sweep southeast Jin, he proposed to destroy your regiment first and avenge his so-called teaching regiment. ”

"Originally, the military region had already formulated a battle plan for this puppet army, but I didn't expect this puppet army to dare to take the lead. However, don't look at the so-called several divisions they have dispatched, but we have nothing to worry about. It just so happens that you can also take this opportunity to teach this mad dog a good lesson. ”
