"Driving..."

The headquarters of the 38th Regiment was stationed.

A separate regimental communications soldier on horseback arrived.

After confirming his identity, the signal soldier was taken all the way to the headquarters of the 38th Regiment and met the commander of the 38th Regiment, Wu Cheng,

"Get me for help."

Wu Cheng was stunned at first, and then overjoyed.

The deal between Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's new regiment, Cheng Shifa's 772nd regiment, and Xu Huzhi's county brigade has already spread among the 386th Brigade.

Everyone knows that Grand Master Li has a God of Wealth, and now he is as rich as Yan Laoxi.

The old wealth of the landlord who is alive and well.

And the shot is very generous, much more generous than Yan Laoxi.

When the boss mobilized more than 10,000 people to help Yan Laoxi, he got 500,000 rounds of ammunition and a little weapons and equipment.

And Li Yunlong, the landlord of Li Da, asked Kong Jie for 120 soldiers, not including the battalion, company and platoon cadres, and gave 200,000 rounds of ammunition and 40 Czech-style soldiers.

It is still an imported top Czech style with five top-notch fruits.

asked Cheng Shifa to borrow 20 military horses, and gave 20,000 rounds of ammunition, four imported Czech-style.

Xu Huzhi is even more enviable, helping to transport more than 500 prisoners of war, and getting more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition, 100 20-round barge guns, and 10 imported Czech-style.

I'm looking for him to help this time...

"What's the matter?"

Wu Cheng was very enthusiastic.

"Our Captain..."

The communications soldier took out Li Yunlong's news—Zhao Gang helped write it.

"Hey, Zhao Gang's handwriting is really good."

Wu Cheng directly commented on the handwriting.

When he saw the contents inside, Wu Cheng suddenly squinted his eyes, he raised his head and glanced at the correspondent, and then put away the paper message in his hand and put it in his pocket.

Then, Wu Cheng smiled on his face:

"Go back and tell Li Yunlong, I'll help you with this!"

After the messenger immediately rode away, Wu Cheng immediately ordered the troops to assemble.

"The first battalion, the second battalion assemble!"

····

Eight o'clock in the evening that day.

Li Yunlong arrived at the preset ambush position with the first and second battalions.

Apricot ditch.

"Build a position now."

"Kong Jie, you arrange a good guard, spread out as much as possible, and notify in advance if someone is approaching."

"Zhang Dabiao, you are staring at the position, you must take concealment measures."

"Xu Ping, you take the artillery company to establish positions on the high ground on both flanks."

“····”

Li Yunlong personally arranged the construction of the position.

The most important thing in ambush warfare is to take the enemy by surprise and not let the enemy find out that there is an ambush.

It is necessary to let the enemy enter the ambush position with the lowest vigilance, and accurately sprinkle the most dense firepower to the enemy at the nearest distance, so as to achieve the suddenness of the battle, so that the first round of firepower can kill more enemies, and the follow-up firepower must also keep up, completely suppress the enemy's resistance, and then divide and encircle and annihilate with superior forces.

Position building is a top priority.

The deployment of troops and the construction of a firepower network cannot be neglected in the slightest.

This is also the reason why even with photos and detailed maps, Li Yunlong still came to Xingzigou for a half-day field trip.

On the night of Jindi in early March, even if there was no snow, the temperature quickly dropped to minus 10 degrees Celsius, and it was still dropping further, and the howling north wind was like a knife blowing.

Bitter cold.

Fortunately, the newly equipped winter military uniform is warm enough, and the system says that it can carry minus ten to fifteen degrees, so there will be absolutely no error, and the military shoes on the soles of the feet can also resist the cold wind, and the white-flour buns in the stomach also provide sufficient energy.

Although many fighters still feel cold, they do not suffer from frostbite.

It was not until four o'clock in the middle of the night that the entire ambush position, including concealed positions, anti-artillery holes, and front-line ammunition depots, was completed.

The backbone of the 1st battalion, the backbone of the 2nd battalion, and the artillery company of the independent regiment, totaling 600 people.

Nine American M2 60 mortars, fifty-four Czech, twenty-seven grenadiers, one hundred and thirty-eight three-eight caps, and more than three hundred twenty-round barge guns.

Ambushed in the small canyon of Xingzigou,

"Rest."

After checking one last lap to make sure that nothing was missed, Li Yunlong gave the order to rest.

"How did Brother Lu get the devil information!"

Before burrowing into the hole to sleep, a doubt appeared in Li Yunlong's mind.

Nine days ago, Brother Lu knew that the Devil's Hejin Squadron would set off from Yangquan and pass through Xingzigou at noon tomorrow.

But the doubt only lasted for a moment, and Li Yunlong fell into a deep sleep.

···

March 10th.

It's past ten o'clock in the morning.

"Brigadier Commander."

A communications soldier quickly ran to the brigade headquarters, and after almost stumbling, one flew into the combat conference room:

"The latest information of the Liaoxian County Brigade."

"At eight o'clock last night, about two hundred devils entered Liao County."

"Eight o'clock in the evening?!"

"Two hundred devils?!"

When the brigade commander heard the news, his face changed, and then he ran to the map, staring at the huge map of Liao County, Yu County, and Wuxiang County, and his brows gradually furrowed.

Two hundred devils, who arrived at eight o'clock in the evening, were almost certain to reinforce the Hejin squadron in Liao County.

So next,

Will the Hejin squadron go to the Yamashima Wing Wing Headquarters in Yu County, or will it go directly to Xiazhuang to assist in patrolling the road from Xiazhuang to Shangcun, which is about to open to traffic, and start building the Shangcun stronghold?

Generally speaking, this kind of long-term reinforcement of troops that are not directly under their jurisdiction will first go to the higher station to report, communicate and solve some command problems, and then go to the front line to station.

Or, swap quarters.

The Kawazu squadron exchanged a squadron with a squadron of the Yamashima Wing, and then the infantry squadron directly under the Yamashima Wing went to Shimosho to assist in the construction of the Uemura stronghold and stationed the stronghold.

However, the possibility that the Kawazu squadron is a reinforced squadron that performs its mission alone is very low.

However, the devil cage plan is accelerating, and the brigade commander does not dare to guarantee whether the Hejin squadron will go directly to Xiazhuang, decentralize the command issue, and then communicate slowly.

After all, the Kawazu squadron was only stationed in a stronghold, not a joint sweeping operation.

If it is the former, the Hejin squadron will go west, through the road to Yuxian, if it is the latter, the Hejin squadron will go directly south, through the newly built road, directly to Xiazhuang.

"Fuck."

The brigade commander sighed scoldingly.

It's not just that the information is not detailed,

The intelligence also came too late.

No matter whether this Hejin squadron goes to Yuxian or Xiazhuang, he has no way to eat it.

It's too late.

Now the troops have been mobilized and the positions have been constructed, whether it is Yuxian or Xiazhuang, the Hejin squadron has arrived at its destination.

If he had known it last night, he might have had time to set up an ambush.

"Let Xu Hu keep an eye on this group of devils."

That's all he can order.

"Yes."

The signal corps immediately went to deliver the order.

"How is the road from the devil to the village built?"

The brigade commander continued.

"It's only three miles from Shangcun, and it is expected that it will be open to traffic in three days."

A staff officer immediately replied.

Although it is a mountain road, the devil builds a road along the mountain road, and it is an earthen road, and the amount of work is not large, after all, during this period, the weight of the car is not large, and the speed is not fast.

"Three days."

The brigade commander pondered for a moment and ordered:

"Order the political workers of several villages around Shangcun, as well as the 57th Regiment, to strengthen their vigilance, do a good job of clearing the wilderness, protect the property of the people, and be ready to move with the people at any time."

At present, the 57th Regiment of the 386th Brigade is stationed around Shangcun.

"Yes."

The second messenger also immediately went to deliver the order.

····

An hour later.

Apricot ditch.

"Commander, the devil is here."

The forward scout reported to Li Yunlong the news of the imminent arrival of the Hejin squadron.

"All of them, ready to fight."

Li Yunlong immediately turned over and pulled out the shell gun on his waist, but did not break the nose load.

"All of them, ready to fight."

"All of them, ready to fight."

“····”

The battalion commander, company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader conveyed Li Yunlong's orders one by one.

The fighters took out their weapons one after another, tearing the dust cloth that wrapped the barrel and receiver, but none of them pushed the bullet into the chamber.

Ambush warfare, loading at the last moment of the battle, this is the blood and tears of the Eighth Route Army's ambush devils more than 1,000 times in the past three years.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of people, you can't guarantee that there won't be a misfire.

Even if the weapons produced by the system are extremely reliable, even if the people who participated in the battle this time are first-class veterans who have participated in many actual battles, but people are not steel, not machines.

Once an ambush goes off, it means that the battle is lost.

Either retreat, or pay several times the price, force victory.

After preparing their weapons, the fighters did not emerge from the positions in unison, but hid in hidden positions one after another, waiting for orders, and only experienced battalion and company commanders could probe and observe.

"Haha..."

"Dense formation!"

"God help me."

When he saw the Hejin squadron walking along the highway into Xingzigou, Li Yunlong couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart.

The Hejin squadron in front of him, although there was a forward alert detachment and more than a dozen devils who were on guard around them, still passed the road in a dense formation.

Nearly 200 devils marched in three columns, including mule and horse convoys, and only pulled out a formation of less than 400 meters.

According to Brother Lu's words, there is a vigilance, but not much.

"Monk."

Li Yunlong called the monk.

"Yes!"

Monk Wei immediately walked over.

At present, the monk is Li Yunlong's guard, and he is also the deputy platoon commander of the regimental guard platoon.

"You take the guard platoon and go to kill the devil's sharp knife group."

The devil's sharp knife group has passed, and the cooperation requirement is to annihilate all of them, and no one can be let go, so Li Yunlong sent a monk to kill the nine sharp knife groups in front of the devil.

"Yes."

The monk took the order and left.

"Prepare for battle!"

After the monk led the team away, the Devil's Hejin squadron also entered Xingzigou, and at this time, Li Yunlong broke the head of the barge gun and pushed the bullet into the chamber.

"Prepare for battle!"

“····”

The order was conveyed step by step, and all the fighters of the 1st and 2nd battalions of the independent regiment pushed the bullet onto the chamber of the gun.

On the artillery positions on both flanks, Xu Ping picked up a 60-mm mortar shell, and behind him were dozens of ammunitionmen who were ready to carry the shells from the temporary ammunition depot in the rear to the gun emplacement.

"Fire!"

Li Yunlong fired the first shot!
