I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 288 Li Yunlong deceives Captain Cheng

Captain Ye touched his chin and looked at Captain Cheng.

I thought to myself: We are so valued, but how could we not know it?

Li Yunlong said, "Think about it, the two of you were the commanders of the regiment, Old Ye, I was your battalion commander, right?"

Old Ye nodded with a smile. This was also the reason why he didn't care that Li Yunlong could suppress him.

In the military, being a squad leader for one day means being a squad leader for life.

Even Li Yunlong is now the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army.

When you see Old Ye, you have to walk up to him politely and call him "old commander".

"So, who does the deputy commander-in-chief favor more? Do we need to analyze it further?"

After hearing Li Yunlong's analysis, the black color on Captain Cheng's face looked much better.

Li Yunlong: "Do you know why the deputy commander-in-chief wants me to take over the command?"

Captain Cheng and Captain Ye looked at each other and both expressed their confusion.

Li Yunlong said with deep sorrow: "It's because the boss feels sorry for you. We have been fighting for almost two days and the casualties in the army are not small.

The deputy commander wants me to replace you two so that the regiment can retain some vitality."

After hearing Li Yunlong's explanation, Captain Cheng was no longer angry and felt that what Li Yunlong said was quite pertinent.

Commander Cheng: "The military situation is urgent now, and we will resolutely obey the orders of our superiors.

Now you are the commander-in-chief of the front line, so you don’t have to worry about our casualties.

We will fight wherever you point, we both have this awareness."

At this time, two more groups of people came outside, one of whom was sent by Deputy Captain Xing.

He did not participate in the annihilation battle against Sakata Nobutsu's unit just now.

He went directly to Sakata's retreat route to deploy defenses and scout the enemy situation.

Along the way, there were scenes of battles everywhere.

Many of the Japanese transport vehicles were blown up on the roadside.

Most of the trucks were covered in black, and some had been burned into iron frames.

Old Xing is worthy of the fact that he has been studying in the Gannan army for two years.

If you ask him what tactics he is most familiar with, it is not artillery fire coverage or surprise attacks disguised as Japanese soldiers.

The most familiar and useful ones are still used in mines and explosives.

Bring all the explosive packs you brought with you, stuff two into each car, and tie up another cloth bag with 200 bullets in it.

If the distance to damage the car is too long, it is natural to place a Broadsword mine crosswise on both sides of the road.

The Japanese Army's 4th Mixed Brigade is indeed a veteran brigade.

There are three infantry regiments, two artillery battalions, and one Zibo battalion.

The entire brigade had a total of more than 14,000 people, far more than other Japanese brigade-level troops.

Among them, the Sakata Regiment was reinforced with an infantry battalion, which was loaned to Sakata Nobutsu.

If calculated this way, the strength of the main force of the 4th Brigade that came to support Sakata has been greatly reduced.

There were only five infantry battalions, one artillery battalion and one Zibo battalion left.

Although the Japanese still had about 8,000 people in terms of numbers, their strength no longer allowed them to do so.

The Sakata Squadron, the most powerful squadron, has been completely wiped out.

Among the remaining 8,000-odd Japanese soldiers, more than 2,000 of them included the brigade headquarters.

They are from the Zibo Battalion and the Artillery Battalion, and their combat effectiveness is not high.

The 4th Mixed Brigade actually had only more than 6,000 infantrymen in combat.

As for the Eighth Route Army, the two regiments had 5,000 combatants in addition to the seriously wounded.

The Red Army soldiers of that time were constantly drawn to strengthen the new troops, causing their strength to decline.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken two days of fighting to kill more than 400 Japanese devils. No wonder the deputy commander-in-chief changed his generals at the last minute.

Now they were more confident again and had received a lot of guns and ammunition from the Sakata Regiment.

The key is that they were replenished with a large amount of bullets.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Eighth Route Army, Captain Kameda refused to blow up the arsenal when retreating.

These hundreds of boxes of bullets, grenades, and artillery shells all belonged to these two regiments.

When Lu Shan arrived, he led another six teams to Cangyun Ridge.

Li Yunlong gave them direct orders, not only to gather the Type 38 rifles, but also to distribute them to the two regiments.

Even the Maxim heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and mortars were given to the numbered regiment.

They said they were worried that they had ammunition but no guns, which would affect their performance in combat.

Looking at the comrades of the militia brigade with empty hands, Captain Cheng refused to agree.

I just wanted to say thank you Captain Li for your kindness, I really can't give you any more.

They were afraid that Li Yunlong's actions would affect the revolutionary enthusiasm of the militia comrades.

Li Yunlong patted his chest and said that as long as he, Li Yunlong, was there, these problems would not be a problem.

According to the map sent back by Deputy Captain Xing, Li Yunlong arranged the ambush site for Captain Cheng and Captain Ye.

Let Zhang Dabiao lead the main force of the regiment to meet up with Xing Zhiguo.

Sure enough, all the problems were not problems. After Lao Li finished explaining his situation, he turned around and went to find Commander Song.

"Commander Song, you Gansu troops are very kind and sent all the people to me.

But we are not good enough with this weapon, don’t you think…”

Looking at Li Yunlong with a flattering face, Song Wenwan was once again surprised by his cunning.

Even Wei Dayong, who was always aggressive, gave Li Yunlong a thumbs up.

No wonder Commander Song kept telling him not to be fooled by Captain Li when he and the political commissar were about to set off.

Now it seems that Captain Li is indeed "great" in dealing with people.

How come I feel a sense of mutual understanding between him and me?

Could this be the personal charm that Commander Song often talks about?

But what kind of personality does Captain Li have now?

Song Wenwan held the holster and thought again and again. He couldn't let his sister Xiuqin become a widow before she even got married, right?

Forget it, I'll just consider it as something I owe to Li Yunlong and repay it in this life.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Song Wenwan took a radio and pretended to send a message. Twenty minutes later, Song Wenwan took out a signal gun and pretended to fire a white signal flare.

If someone asked Song Wenwan, who could see the white flare flying into the sky in broad daylight?

Song Wenwan would definitely say that it really doesn’t matter whether you see it or not.

As long as we don't let the Japanese reinforcements see us, we'll be fine.

After all, the 4th Mixed Brigade is less than two hours away from Cangyun Ridge.

As white flares bloomed in the air, just five minutes later, the roar of airplane engines was heard in the sky.

Then, many white parachutes floated down in the sky.

Captain Cheng and Captain Ye, who were on their way, looked back at the sky.

Captain Cheng thought of some secret rumors, and began to jump up and down and curse Li Yunlong.

Captain Ye also understood, and he said, how could Li Yunlong be so kind.

He sent guns and artillery, even for the sake of unity among the brother troops...

But Li Yunlong is usually so solute, when did he become so easy to talk to?

It turned out that they had already prepared to replenish new supplies, so he naturally didn't like the junk in his hands.

But then he thought about the unwanted "junk" that Li Yunlong gave them...

In fact, these are all very useful weapons and equipment, enough for him to expand another battalion.
