Even if the Japanese army is currently planted in the upper echelons of the Jinsui Army and transmits the intelligence to the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, it is useless.

Because the new regiment had already run into the mountains, mountain and jungle warfare was the specialty of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army had little to do.

Unless the Japanese army gathers tens of thousands of troops to carry out a dragnet sweep around Hengshan and Wutai Mountain.

But not to mention whether the Japanese army can quickly assemble so many troops at the moment, such a large-scale sweep, just the military supplies used for the sweep must be prepared at least one or two months in advance.

Therefore, the devil only made a circle around the outskirts of the mountainous area and withdrew before dark, for fear of being ambushed by the Eighth Road.

Kusuyama Hideyoshi's sense of smell is still very sensitive, and he knows that this Eight Roads has not suffered losses, and the heavy weapons and baggage are still there.

This eight-way force will definitely bite back into the Japanese army that is pursuing in the mountains, after all, being chased by the sky and the earth for two hours, everyone has a temper.

Li Yunlong was indeed ready for an ambush, but he overestimated the pursuing devils, and the devils didn't dare to go deep at all, so they had to give up.

……

Three days later, the new regiment returned to the village of Zhayang.

This trip of more than 150 kilometers to the north of Jin Province to ambush the Devil Tank Wing, the soldiers of the entire new regiment were tired enough.

For four consecutive days, he marched more than 70 kilometers every night, and he could not rest for 10 days and half a month.

But it was an ordinary soldier, and for a Red Army veteran like Li Yunlong, who had traveled 25,000 miles, it was just a piece of cake.

At the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang had a look of exhaustion on his face, and although he came back and slept well, he still felt a little sore.

Li Yunlong quipped: "What's wrong with Lao Zhao, you are tired like this when you go out to do a side job?" If you want me to say, we have to rely on our rough people to fight a war, and you intellectuals have cleaned up the chain at a critical moment, and the next time there is such a battle, you should not join in the fun, stay in the base area and watch the family, and let me lead the team alone. ”

Jokes are jokes, Li Yunlong admired Zhao Gang from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Gang gave the military horse to the wounded, and like the soldiers, he walked down by the strength of his feet all the way, and even his feet were blistered, and few intellectuals could do it, and no one in the whole regiment was not convinced by this.

Zhao Gang sat on the kang with his buttocks, took off his shoes, and said.

"You want to be beautiful, let you lead the team alone, no one is in charge of you, you kid still have to break the sky?"

"Take this time as an example, if I hadn't stopped you that night, you would definitely have taken the artillery company to the airfield in Taiyuan to shell the little devils."

On the day it was pursued in the basin, the cavalry battalion lost more than sixty cavalry under the dive, strafing and bombing of the devil's planes.

The cavalry were all Li Yunlong's treasures, and Li Yunlong was in a hurry on the spot, and wanted to bring an artillery company to blow up the devil's airfield in Taiyuan.

It was only more than 50 kilometers away from Taiyuan, and the rapid march could be reached in half a night, but Zhao Gang stopped him on the spot.

Zhao Gang's reason is also very simple, they are going to bomb the airport, I am afraid that before they get close to Taiyuan, they will be surrounded by devils and sacrifice in vain.

Li Yunlong was also carried away by a moment of anger, and after calming down, he felt that the success rate was almost zero, so he decisively gave up the plan to attack the devil's airport with an artillery company, but Li Yunlong secretly swore that sooner or later he would find this field.

"How is it possible that labor and management will do such a stupid thing?" Li Yunlong said, "That's a momentary anger." ”

Zhao Gang stretched out his feet in front of Li Yunlong: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pick the bubbles on my feet." ”

"You intellectuals are delicate in their feet." Li Yunlong said, "It's only a few steps and it's blistered on your feet?" ”

"What do you mean by a few steps? That's a full 300 kilometers! Zhao Gang didn't have a good breath and said, "I think you don't have back pain when you stand and talk." ”

"It's like I'm not leaving?" Li Yunlong said, "If you had gone on a 25,000-mile Long March, you would have to lie down tired a few days ago. ”

Fighting is a fighting mouth, but Li Yunlong's movements in his hands are not idle, and he finds a needle to gently prick the blister while Zhao Gang is not paying attention.

Although he grinned in pain, Zhao Gang didn't scream, otherwise Li Yunlong would have to make fun of Political Commissar Zhao a few words of his mother's chirping.

"It's much more comfortable." Waiting for Li Yunlong to puncture the blisters on his feet, Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Gang put his feet away, put away the smile on his face, and said.

"Lao Li, the results and losses of this battle have been counted."

"The total number of casualties was 288, of which 136 were killed, more than 58 were seriously wounded, and 94 were lightly wounded."

There were only more than 200 casualties in Hulugou, and more than 60 people were killed under the devil's plane in the XZ Basin Cavalry Battalion.

War has its laws, and it is impossible to only take advantage of the situation without suffering losses.

Even if the new regiment had an advantage in firepower and troops, and still in an extremely favorable terrain, it would be impossible to ambush the Japanese tank wing with zero casualties.

Zhao Gang continued: "With the addition of more than 30 non-combat attrition, our new regiment only has 1,700 people. ”

Li Yunlong said: "The more than 400 recruits and more than a dozen company and platoon-level officers that the brigade commander promised to us should be in place in just a few days." ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong asked again: "What about the seizure and ammunition consumption?" ”

Zhao Gang took out a statistical list from his pocket and handed it to Li Yunlong: "This is the statistics of the second battalion commander last night, and you went to bed early yesterday, so you asked him to give it to me." ”

Li Yunlong took a look and saw that the statistical list read:

capture

38 rifles 321 pcs.

4 Type 96 light machine guns.

11 grenadiers.

More than 3,000 rounds of 35 mm caliber shells.

More than 3,000 rounds of 45-mm shells.

More than 120,000 rounds of 7,7-mm machine gun rounds.

There are more than 2,000 97-style grenades.

……

Damage

5 machine guns.

7 bazookas.

3 Maxim heavy machine guns.

6 light machine guns.

……

deplete

More than 6,000 rounds of machine artillery shells.

More than 70,000 rounds of ammunition for the 7.7mm machine gun.

More than 90,000 rounds of 7.92 mm machine gun rounds.

……

Li Yunlong read the statistical list, good guy, although a lot of seizures have been made, but the losses are greater in comparison.

Throw aside the more than 1,000 devils who were killed.

Judging from the capture, damage and consumption, without the reimbursement of ammunition and the assistance of the two mountain artillery battalions, it would be a loss-making transaction.

Because the 6,000 shells captured Li Yunlong could not be used, because he did not have rapid-fire guns with a caliber of 35 mm and 45 mm.

At most, the capture could equip a battalion of weapons and ammunition, but it consumed a lot of ammunition.

Because the firepower of the light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns of the new regiment is very strong, and the firepower is very strong, which means that the bullet cost is large.

Especially in the last few air defense periods, light and heavy machine guns and machine guns were fired openly, and the bullets and shells were fired out in a hurry, just like not asking for money.

There is no way to do this, only by giving up ammunition and forming an anti-aircraft fire network can we effectively defend the air, and the devil planes will not dare to approach.

Some time ago, Li Yunlong still felt that he could sit back and relax if there were four or five hundred thousand rounds of ammunition in the new regiment.

But after this battle, his mind changed.

If you don't stock up on millions of bullets, you don't feel safe.

"These more than 6,000 shells will all be handed over to the brigade headquarters." Li Yunlong said, "These weapons and ammunition were captured, and they were just used to equip the recruits. ”

"That's fine." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "By the way, the combat approval and commendation from the brigade headquarters have come down." ”

"What did the brigade commander say?" Li Yunlong asked nervously, stunned again, "And a commendation?" ”

Li Yunlong has done this kind of thing more than once, basically winning the battle every time, and he was scolded by the brigade commander every time.

Of course, after all, he won the battle and was not punished.

Zhao Gang felt a little funny, this thing was not afraid of heaven and earth before doing big things, and he was more courageous than anyone else, but after this thing was done, he was scared.

"I know that the brigade commander's intelligence is very powerful, maybe the brigade commander will know not long after we finished working in Hulugou."

"However, on the way back, I thought about it for a while, and still roughly counted the results of the battle, and sent the signal corps to the brigade headquarters to report the results of the operation."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he nodded, and secretly said that Lao Zhao was quite thoughtful.

The intelligence of the brigade headquarters is one thing, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang still have the attitude they should have.

And the brigade commander needs exactly this attitude, an excuse, to gag others.

After such a big victory, at most, the brigade commander verbally criticized it, and said that if he didn't make an example, it would be over, and there was a high probability that he would not be held accountable for his mistakes, and his combat exploits would not be commended, and the merits would be offset.

Li Yunlong has long been familiar with the way.

Zhao Gang took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Li Yunlong one by one:

"This is a commendation order issued by the brigade headquarters."

"This is a commendation order issued by the division headquarters."

"This is a commendation order issued by the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army."

"This is a commendation order sent by Chairman Jiang of the Chongqing government."

"This is a commendation order sent by Chief Yan of the Second War Zone's Commander's Department."

"By the way, Chief Yan also rewarded us with a new 3,000 oceans, which is on the way to be delivered."

Li Yunlong took the commendation orders one by one, and his eyes widened.

He looked at the contents of the paper, and he could read some of them, all praising him for his action.

Good guy, after so many years of leading soldiers to fight, it is the first time that you have received a 5-point commendation order at the same time.

And what's even more rare is that the brigade commander is not scolding? Also complimented?

"Lao Zhao, I still have some words..."Li Yunlong said, "You read it to me quickly, what is written on this commendation telegram?" ”

"You have to learn your culture." Zhao Gang took the telegram, "The soldiers are very enthusiastic about cultural learning, and you, as the regiment commander, must not take the lead?" ”

Li Yunlong snorted: "Study, learn a fart, if I don't study, won't I still lead troops to fight?" ”

"Do you want to learn?" Zhao Gang said, "If you don't learn, you can find someone else to read it." ”

"Learn, learn, learn." Li Yunlong said, "Am I still not able to learn?" ”

At the beginning, Yan Laoxi's telegram was at the bottom, but after Li Yunlong flipped through it, it reached the top, and Zhao Gang was ready to pick up the telegram and read.

Li Yunlong said: "Yan Laoxi and Lao Jiang don't need to read it, just read the brigade commander, division commander and headquarters chief." ”

Zhao Gang picked up the commendation telegram from the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army and read: "In view of the fact that Comrade Li Yunlong led his troops to completely annihilate the Japanese Army's Seventh Tank Wing, which greatly encouraged the confidence of the whole country in the victory of the anti-Japanese war, and caused heavy casualties and losses to the Japanese army in the enemy's so-called security area, Comrade Li Yunlong is especially remembered for his great achievements. ”
