Chapter 20: The Battle Comes

"Huzi, go and ask Lao Tzu where this devil is."

At this time, Li Yunlong was carefully studying the map on the table and on the wall in the War Department.

I have to say that this Li Yunlong was born to look at the map, and the real mountains and rivers are clear at a glance. It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few years when Li Yunlong came to the northwest of Shanxi, he had a clearer understanding of the topography of the northwest of Shanxi and even the whole province than the locals who had lived for decades.

"Yes, Captain."

After a while, Huzi trotted back all the way and said, "Report to the head of the regiment, a group of devils have approached the independent regiment of Commander Kong." ”

"How many?"

"About three thousand people."

"Oops!"

Li Yunlong cursed secretly, turned around and looked back at the map hanging on the wall.

"This gang of devils should be a wing under the Fourth Brigade. It seems that this time the 4th Brigade is attacking from multiple sides. ”

"Commander, should we support Captain Kong? After all, Commander Kong's independent regiment has more than 1,000 people, which is a few hundred fewer than us. ”

"Don't use it for the time being, we've been in the past, but it's a mess. What if the other devils approach the base area? ”

"I didn't think about it."

"This Kong Er was stunned, Lao Tzu just gave him a batch of weapons and equipment two days ago, so he won't be unable to resist. It is still possible to hold on until the order to retreat is issued by the superiors. ”

"Huzi, send some more people to reconnoiter the enemy."

"Yes, Captain."

In the so-called war, intelligence information is indispensable. A good commander is good at gathering information, and he is even better at discerning the right information that is beneficial to himself and the overall situation.

……

Independent regimental defense area.

Kong Jiezheng and political commissar Li Wenying also had several staff officers to study the map and analyze the news coming back from the front.

"Lao Kong, this group of devils is not simple. He is the Sakata Wing in the Fourth Brigade, known as the elite. ”

"Hahaha. The elite troops have seen a lot and fought a lot. Don't worry, don't be afraid. ”

"You can't say that, during the Battle of Xinkou, this Sakata Wing defeated two divisions of the National Army, and thousands of people beat him tens of thousands, but not only did they not suffer much damage, but the two divisions they fought were also incomplete."

Kong Jie was shocked in his heart, and he already understood that the fighting power of this group of devils was fierce.

Li Wenying continued: "Two days ago, when you went to the new regiment, the Bantian Wing also exchanged fire with the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army. ”

"How was the battle going?"

In less than an hour, the Jin Sui army suffered more than 300 casualties. Chu Yunfei led his troops to escape in a hurry. ”

Kong Jie took a sip of the cigarette of the Three Fort in his mouth, and slowly spit it out, "This time, our independent regiment has met an opponent." ”

After Kong Jie finished speaking, he also showed a rare embarrassment. Although it was difficult, Kong Jie did not show any fear.

The superior said that the Sakata Wing under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Brigade is fierce in combat and well-armed. The land passed through was also burned, killed and looted, and not a single grass was grown. The people in the base areas must be evacuated safely and in a timely manner to suffer as little damage as possible. ”

"This is easy to do, Wen Ying, you will personally supervise the transfer of the people. The superiors asked for a day to block the attack, and Lao Tzu will give you a day to block the attack. Block for two days, Lao Tzu will block for two days. ”

In fact, not only Li Yunlong liked this, but most regiments were like this at that time, and the whole regiment obeyed the command of the regiment commander during the war.

"Okay."

At this time, the guard trotted all the way to Kong Jie and said:

"Report to the head of the regiment, the superiors asked our independent regiment to make every effort to block the Bantian United for two days."

"Okay, call back to the division headquarters and brigade headquarters, and say that the independent regiment will be like a nail, not only nailed to the position, but also to the enemy's heart."

"Yes, Captain."

"Wenying, how are the people transferred?"

Li Wenying pushed his eyes and said, "I have already contacted the local comrades." They will arrange for the mass transfer as soon as possible. ”

"Good. You can let go of your hands and feet to fight the devil. ”

Kong Jie took a puff of his cigarette and said.

There are still many people in the base area of the independent regiment, and if they fight with this Sakata unit, it will inevitably be a stalemate battle, with guns and cannons in the sky, and it is not only the soldiers who will suffer, but also ordinary people.

"Commander, I found a large number of devils thirty miles away."

A fighter hurriedly reported.

"How far?"

"It's only more than twenty miles now."

"It's so fast, it looks like it won't take more than two hours to approach Lao Tzu's defense zone."

"Wenying, let's go and see how the fortifications are being built now?"

"Okay."

………

At this moment, the soldiers of the new regiment were resting on a hillside.

Li Yunlong walked around with a few guards, and after feeling safe for the time being, he ordered the whole group to rest in peace.

Then he took out another map and looked at it carefully. Soon, Li Yunlong found and determined his location from the map.

"Regiment leader, according to the requirements of our superiors, we have to rush here as soon as possible."

A staff officer beside Li Yunlong pointed to a place on the map and said.

"I know this, I will go over the mountain in front of me and walk dozens of miles to it."

"Yes. Once here, stand by and wait for further transfers from superiors. ”

"Order the troops, stay for another twenty minutes, drink saliva and rest before leaving."

"Send a few more guards on the periphery, keep an eye on them. Maybe a bunch of devils will come out of here. ”

"Yes, Captain."

After the order, Li Yunlong leaned on a big tree, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.

Since yesterday evening, they have been marching all the way to the destination designated by their superiors. After walking for more than ten hours, it doesn't matter to me, and my perennial military experience has made me accustomed to this kind of life for a long time.

The main thing is the troops under his own hands, and there are a lot of recruits, all of whom are recruits. Not long after I joined the army, I couldn't bear such a long and rapid march.

Li Yunlong gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

Although the soldiers of the new regiment did not complain for days, they were also exhausted. Except for the outer sentry, all of them fell asleep shallowly.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Da Da Da!"

Bursts of gunfire rang out.

Li Yunlong, who was in a daze, woke up instantly, "Where did the gunshots come from?" ”

Li Yunlong immediately took the telescope and ran to a place with a relatively open field of vision to observe the situation in the distance.

In the distance, there was still a steady stream of gunfire. Not only the piercing sound of a rifle, but also the sound of heavy machine guns. From time to time, it was accompanied by several mortar sounds.

Judging by the gunfire, this should be the devil's troops.

"Oops, this fucking devil troops. It seems that our new group is going to fight the devils in advance. ”

Li Yunlong watched for a long time, and finally found the trace of the devil.

"Huzi, inform the whole regiment and be ready for battle at any time."
