"Lao Li, the sword squadron is back?"

As soon as the front foot entered the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang couldn't wait to ask.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "Duan Peng has just returned with the sword squadron, and he has already found the best ambush position. ”

Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou on the side also had their eyes lit up slightly.

At present, there are still 11 days before Gu Shoufu flies from Beiping to Taiyuan, and it is enough time to reconnoiter so quickly.

The Sword Squadron carried out its mission, and it was so clean.

"Where?" Zhao Gang walked over and sat on a bench again, and everyone sat down around the Eight Immortals table.

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said:

"Northeast of Taiyuan Wusu Airport, about 20 kilometers away from Wusu Airport, under the route through which the devil plane passes."

"According to Duan Peng's report, there is a small mountain here called Purple Mountain, which is not marked on the map."

"What's more, there is a deserted horse road that can go directly from the Tongpu Railway to the Purple Mountain."

"Shoot down Gu Shoufu's plane, and let's do it in the Purple Mountain."

One of the great advantages of Li Yunlong's method is that if he can shoot down the plane that the devil is riding, it will be a pot to be wiped out.

Even if you skydive, there is no chance of survival under the dense fire net.

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement, this Purple Mountain was indeed an ideal ambush location.

Since it is a mountain, there must be a hidden place, and it is closer to the devil's plane than the plain, which is more suitable for shooting the devil's plane.

"Okay!" Zhao Gang nodded, "What is the specific battle plan?" ”

"The specific battle plan is ......"

Li Yunlong said: "Use the car of the transport battalion to pull 100 20-mm machine guns and 37-mm anti-aircraft guns to this position, and then use mules and horses along the road to pull the 37-mm anti-aircraft guns to the Purple Mountain, and wait for the devil's plane to arrive ......."

"But ......," Zhao Gang said, "in this way, the mules, the horses, and the mule carts will have to set off in advance." ”

Mules and horses for towing, as well as mule carts for transporting ammunition, are not as fast as cars.

Because the road is relatively narrow, you can't run the car, otherwise you will drive the car directly to the Purple Mountain.

So.

100 20mm guns, 40 37mm anti-aircraft guns and ammunition, which require animal power to be transported.

The road conditions were not comparable to those now.

Li Yunlong nodded, the mule carts, mules and military horses really had to set off first.

However, without carrying weights, mules and military horses can still walk relatively fast.

"Our troops this time." Xingzhi National Highway, "There are transport battalions, automobile battalions, anti-aircraft artillery battalions and machine gun battalions. ”

"Our two cavalry battalions also have to move." Wang Dehou added, "The devil also has a cavalry brigade in Taiyuan, and after we shoot down the devil's plane, most of the devil's cavalry will catch up." ”

The cavalry brigade mentioned by Wang Dehou is the first cavalry brigade of the Japanese army under Kuribayashi Tadamichi.

Among them, the 13th Cavalry Wing was killed half of the Wing in the Battle of New South Wales.

And the cavalry is more difficult to replenish, so the current Japanese 1st Cavalry Brigade has a full cavalry wing and half a cavalry wing.

】

The 1st Cavalry Brigade is the elite cavalry of the Japanese army, which has been fighting with Fu Zuoyi's cavalry for a long time in Inner Mongolia, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.

It's just that the firepower of the new regiment is too strong, and even the 1st Cavalry Brigade has suffered losses in the hands of the new regiment several times.

Everyone said a word, and quickly perfected the entire battle plan and emergency preparedness.

……

The next day.

After Li Yunlong finished breakfast and counted the days, the battalion and company-level officers sent by the headquarters should be about to arrive.

So, Li Yunlong asked Duan Peng to come to the regiment headquarters.

"Report to the Captain!" Duan Peng walked into the regiment headquarters in a tiger step, and gave a military salute with a sharp eye, "Duan Peng reports to you!" ”

Seeing Duan Peng, Li Yunlong nodded with a satisfied expression, this kid is becoming more and more like a special captain.

The Sword Squadron is also becoming more and more powerful under the leadership of Duan Peng.

Li Yunlong handed Duan Peng a note and said, "The battalion and company-level officers given to us by the headquarters are about to arrive, and your sword squadron will go to the Zhengtai Railway to pick it up, and the time and place are written on the note." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Duan Peng glanced at the note, straightened up, turned around and walked out.

From the southeast of Shanxi to the northwest of Shanxi, you need to pass through the Zhengtai Railway.

The current Zhengtai Railway is still controlled by devils, so it is still relatively dangerous.

This time, the headquarters sent more than 140 battalion and company-level officers over.

The new regiment will be expanded to seven infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, and 24 battalion-level officers will be required for battalion commanders, instructors, and deputy battalion commanders.

The gap for company-level officers is even greater.

The strength of the infantry battalion of the new regiment is five times that of the infantry battalion of other units, and the infantry battalion of the new regiment, each infantry battalion has 2,000 men, 9 infantry companies and 1 artillery company.

Each infantry battalion needs 30 company-level officers such as company commanders, deputy company commanders, and instructors, and the expansion of seven infantry battalions is 240 people.

This time, the battalion and company officers needed by the new regiment were close to 300 people in total, because in the battle, the company officers of the new regiment also lost some.

Not to mention the battalion-level officers, not only the new regiment, but also in other units of the Eighth Route Army, the casualty rate of company-level officers is not small.

Because the company-level officers of the Eighth Route Army rushed to the forefront in almost every battle.

However, the casualty rate of the company-level officers of the new regiment was much smaller, because the infantry of the new regiment could call for artillery fire support at any time if the attack did not go well.

Therefore, during the battle, the soldiers of the new regiment rarely charged against the enemy's ferocious fire.

……

At noon, Li Yunlong ordered Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion of the main force, and Wei Dayong, commander of the second battalion of the division, to come to the regiment headquarters.

In the inner room of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao and Wei Dayong, who were standing in front of the kang, looked at the head of Li Da who had a straight face on the kang.

Both of them couldn't help but secretly shrink their necks.

What's going on?

"Do you know why you two were called to the regimental headquarters?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao and Wei Dayong, and asked coldly.

"Report to the head of the group." Zhang Dabiao said, "I don't know." ”

"I don't know." Wei Dayong also shook his head.

"Don't know?" Li Yunlong said in a strange manner, "Then let me remind you that in this battle to attack Datong, you two violated discipline, do you two know about this?" ”

Zhang Dabiao and Wei Dayong glanced at each other, and it turned out that the East Window incident had happened.

However, Wei Dayong did not panic at all, he smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "Regiment commander, I have not violated discipline, the regulations of the regiment party committee are that the battalion commander is not allowed to participate in white-knuckle battles and charges, but I have not violated any of them." ”

And even if he violates discipline, this time his battalion is the first credit, and even if he violates discipline, it will only be criticized at most.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao, but Zhang Dabiao touched his head, and suddenly did not dare to speak, with an expression of being disposed of by the head of the regiment.

Wei Dayong said again: "Regiment commander, I reported that Battalion Commander Zhang not only personally led the soldiers to charge, but also threw away a steel helmet when charging. ”

"Oh?" Li Yunlong's tone suddenly rose, and his eyes glared at him suddenly, "Da Biao, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Dabiao: "......"

"Commander, I asked the guards to pick up the steel helmet, and I didn't throw it away."

Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yunlong's expression, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly explained.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dabiao glanced at Wei Dayong, as if to say that monk, you kid is not authentic, and he actually beat my little report.

The steel helmet is not comparable to a military hat, the steel helmet is a life-saving thing at a critical moment, and each soldier only has one, so Li Yunlong will never allow it to be wasted.

Li Yunlong looked at Wei Dayong, Wei Dayong smiled again, and said: "Commander, I really didn't violate discipline, I participated in street battles, not white-knuckle battles and charges. ”

"Who says street fighting isn't a violation of discipline?" Li Yunlong's mouth flattened, "Labor and management say that it is a violation of discipline, that is a violation of discipline." ”

"Then you have to be reasonable, right?" Wei Dayong said in a low voice, "Battalion Commander Zhang participated in both the charge and the street battle. ”

Zhang Dabiao: "......"

Zhang Dabiao hurriedly explained: "Regiment Commander, I learned this from you, when you were the regiment commander, when was you not at the forefront?"

Li Yunlong was slightly stunned.

In the past few years, for the warnings of his superiors, Li Yunlong has always entered the left ear and left the ear out.

Every time he fought, he almost took the lead in the charge, that is, after Zhao Gang came to the new regiment, he restrained a lot, but occasionally quietly participated in the battle.

After all, pushing himself and others, anyway, if Li Yunlong doesn't cut off the heads of a few devils for a while, his hands will be very itchy, and he will definitely kill a few devils at the first opportunity.

Suddenly, Grand Master Li felt the brigade commander's mood.

It's a bit bad indeed, no wonder the brigade commander scolded him so loudly before......

In the past, the new regiment was okay and allowed the battalion commander to participate in the battle, but now the battalion commander is not allowed to participate in the battle, and these problems were exposed at once.

The soldiers brought out by themselves are all of the same virtue as themselves.

"Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't learn well, he learns bad."

“……”

Li Yunlong glared, scolded the two of them for more than ten minutes, and finally said:

"The monk's merits are comparative, and Da Biao went to the regiment headquarters to be a groom for me for a week."

"Yes!"

Both saluted, then wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and turned to leave.

"Monk, why didn't I find out before, you still like to make small reports?"

Walking out of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao said with a displeased face.

The corners of Wei Dayong's mouth grinned slightly: "Battalion Commander Zhang, I don't count this as a small report, do you think that the regiment commander will not know about you throwing steel helmets and participating in street battles?" Who doesn't know that you, Zhang Dabiao, have been with the head of the regiment for the longest time? The head of the regiment is willing to punish you? ”

"That's just as well." Zhang Dabiao nodded, and said, "Hey, I really didn't find out before, monk, your head is quite good." ”

Wei Dayong said: "Because I understand a truth, if I want to be smart, I still have to study." ”

Zhang Dabiao originally wanted to come up with the regiment headquarters to make a few moves with Wei Dayong.

But he soon gave up this idea, and played with this kid Wei Monk, he was probably not an opponent.

Forget it, don't worry about this flower monk.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head and walked towards the regimental stable.
