Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Old acquaintance?

Li Yunlong was still thinking about a movie. He had been dealing with the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army all his life. He had few acquaintances but many enemies?

"Brigade Commander, we don't have any relationship with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, right?"

"You'll know when it arrives!"

After Li Yunlong hung up the phone, he still kept wondering who it was. After thinking about it over and over again, he still had no clue, so he simply gave up.

According to the established plan, Li Yunlong chose Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion as the main attack force, Shen Quan's 2nd Battalion as the reserve, and Wang Huaibao's 3rd Battalion to stay in the garrison.

As expected, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao rushed to the regiment headquarters again and yelled at Li Yunlong.

"Captain, you are too partial. Why do you always let the first battalion take the lead?"

"That's right, our second and third battalions were both raised by a stepmother?"

It was true that Zhang Dabiao used it easily, but he had deeper considerations. He was not going to fight a positional war with the Japanese this time, so he had to select troops with flexible minds.

Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao are good at fighting tough battles, but they are still inferior to Zhang Dabiao in terms of brain flexibility.

"Shen Quan, don't yell at me, kid. Let me tell you, based on my understanding of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, they will definitely not last more than a day. If that happens, you can just pick their peaches. Wouldn't that be fun?"

"And you, Wang Huaibao. I used to think you were a good kid. When did you become a bad kid like them? Do you know why we put you in the base? We thought you were steady and not as impetuous as Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan!"

These two words calmed the two stubborn guys down. They kept silent, their faces lit up, they saluted, and went back to work.

The first battalion, part of the artillery battalion (minus an infantry artillery company), the reconnaissance company, and the special forces company assembled at the village entrance as the first echelon and set off under the leadership of Li Yunlong.

Before Li Yunlong set off, Sun Desheng, a man with a big bald head, rushed over.

"Captain, why is it that the tank company is not included in the fight against the Japanese this time? Did we do something wrong again?"

Li Yunlong felt a headache when he saw the big bald guy. Why was it him again?

"Captain Sun, your tank company is now my trump card, my secret weapon. There is only a battalion of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side. We can't waste our talents, can we? Besides, this route is not suitable for tanks to maneuver, so you should train well!"

"Captain, the tank soldiers are all equipped with self-defense pistols. If all else fails, we can charge with our pistols!"

"Get lost! I spent so much money to be a tank soldier, and you told me to be an infantry soldier!"

Seeing that Li Yunlong was angry and that he had indeed been unreasonable, Sun Desheng retreated to the side dejectedly, looking at the high-spirited Wang Chengzhu with envy.

"Zhu Zi, fire two shots for me!"

"Okay, then write your name on the 105mm grenade and give it to the Japanese!"

Not long after Li Yunlong set out, Zhao Gang led the Second Battalion and an infantry artillery and advanced towards the southern mountainous area of ​​Linzhou in a covert march.

After a day's march, Li Yunlong's troops had arrived outside Linzhou County. From a distance, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, dressed in turquoise uniforms, were already waiting to welcome them at the city gate.

The truck that Li Yunlong was riding in drove to the city gate. He jumped out of the car and finally saw an old acquaintance.

"Hahaha, it turns out to be Brother Yunfei. Brigade Commander Chen told me that he was an old acquaintance. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out who it was. I was still worried that it was some mortal enemy who would stab me in the back! I feel relieved when I see you, Brother Yunfei!"

Chu Yunfei looked at the convoy that was more than ten meters long. After persuading himself more than a dozen times, he accepted this reality with envy.

"Brother Yunlong, your weapons and equipment are comparable to those of the Chairman's German-equipped division, right? We are all brothers in the Second War Zone. How could we stab each other in the back and do something that would make our relatives hate us and our enemies happy?"

Li Yunlong looked at Chu Yunfei's long face with a faint smile and knew that he would not get any benefits by talking.

"Brother Yunfei, don't underestimate us because we have a lot of cars. These are our assets. To cooperate with our brothers in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, we will help them even if we have to sell everything we have!"

Li Yunlong laughed in his heart, looking at Chu Yunfei's jealous expression. Fortunately, he had hidden a large amount of equipment on the road, otherwise Chu Yunfei would have burst into tears on the spot.

Regardless of anything else, let's cry about being poor first. You, Chu Yunfei, can't use our people for nothing, right? Even if they are temporary wheat pickers, you should provide them with a few meals, right?

Chu Yunfei is not a fool. Now that his Jinsui Army needs help from others, he naturally has to give some benefits.

"Brother Yunlong, I won't treat you to a meal when we are facing a powerful enemy. After we defeat the Japanese, we brothers will have a drink together. My 358th Regiment has prepared kilograms of flour and kilograms of pork, so I'll treat you brothers to a good meal!"

Li Yunlong was so happy. If Chu Yunfei gave him weapons and ammunition, he would not want them! Now he, Li Yunlong, was like a five-guarantee household. What he lacked was rice, flour and oil!

"Thank you very much. The east is left to our independent regiment. If you can't hold on to the west, tell your brothers and we will help you fight back!"

"Brother Yunlong, you should just take care of yourself. The enemies in the west are nothing to be afraid of. If I have time, I can help the independent regiment lead a few charges!"

"Hahaha!"

In order to protect the people in the city from enemy artillery attacks and the loss of their lives, the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army were prepared to meet the enemy outside the city.

In the evening of that day, the independent regiment marched to Hengshui Town, 20 kilometers away from Linzhou County.

Hengshui Town is eighty miles away from Anyang County, right next to the Huan River (huan, third tone). It is high on the left and low on the right, making it suitable for sniping.

The independent regiment's position was chosen on a 50-meter-high hillside on the left side of the Huan River, and most of the firepower was concentrated on the only Huan River Bridge.

At the same time, defensive fortifications were built extending five or six miles up and down to prevent the Japanese from forcibly crossing the river.

Wang Chengzhu set up the howitzer company and the anti-aircraft company five kilometers behind the front line to take advantage of the howitzer's range and prevent the enemy from counterattacking the artillery. He also set up the anti-tank company opposite the Huanhe Bridge to specifically attack the enemy's tanks and infantry.

The soldiers of the independent regiment were good fighters when they picked up guns, and qualified engineers when they picked up shovels. By the early morning of the next day, the intricate fortifications had been completed.

Li Yunlong took a round inspection and found that the soldiers had also built a large number of anti-artillery holes.

"Who did you learn this anti-gun cave from? It looks really good!"

"Reporting to the regiment commander, I learned this from the instructors of the special forces. They said that it is better to dig an inch more in the trench than to let the bullet penetrate an inch into the body!"

"Okay! Zhang Dabiao, where is Captain Wang?"

"It seems to be over there at the artillery position?"

Li Yunlong rode his beloved BMW motorcycle towards the artillery position five miles away.

When they arrived at a dense forest, they were stopped by the infantry company of the artillery battalion before they could see the artillery positions covered with camouflage nets.

"Captain, you are here!"

"Well, take me to see your battalion commander!"

"Yes!"
