Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

After completing the occupation of the Pingding Gold Mine, Li Yunlong immediately arranged for the soldiers to start defense. He did not neglect the outer defense of the troops because of the late time. He deployed two lines of light and dark, and also specially arranged a squadron of searchlights to illuminate suspicious places.

Yamamoto Ikki, who had already completed the evacuation, was very patient. He believed that Li Yunlong should know that he had not wiped out all his main forces and must be very wary of him. Now was definitely not the best time to attack. He planned to set the time for the counterattack at 1 a.m., when his men and horses were exhausted, to launch the attack.

After deploying the defense of Pingding Gold Mine, Li Yunlong looked at the battle results counted by the soldiers, and his face suddenly became solemn. He thought that he had eliminated most of the Japanese in Pingding Gold Mine, but he didn't expect that he had only eliminated a small fraction of the Japanese. At most, he killed more than 400 Japanese, and there were still nearly 2000 Japanese on the run, which made Li Yunlong immediately become alert.

"Damn it, the Japanese are really cunning. They evacuated the Pingding Gold Mine so quickly without any hesitation. It seems that the Japanese want to use guerrilla tactics against me, otherwise they would not have withdrawn so decisively."

"Monk, call the battalion commanders here immediately. I need to hold an emergency combat meeting. At the same time, I need to give orders to the battalions to take turns to rest for me. Even if they sleep at night, they have to open one eye for me!"

After receiving the order, Monk Wei immediately picked up the phone and started calling the battalion commanders. The battalion commanders who received the order hurried over. After everyone arrived, Li Yunlong immediately convened a combat meeting.

"Brothers, we had a lively battle tonight, but we didn't kill many Japanese soldiers. We consumed a lot of bullets and shells. On average, every 5,000 bullets and two shells killed one Japanese soldier. So we really lost a lot in this battle."

"According to the numbers of enemy soldiers killed reported by each battalion, we have killed a total of 472 Japanese soldiers. According to our intelligence, there should be more than 2300 Japanese soldiers in the flat gold mine. Excluding some of the injured, the number of Japanese soldiers who can actually fight should not be less than 1600."

"Now these 1600 people have completely disappeared. If what I guessed is correct, the Japanese must be watching us from some corner, waiting for us to make a mistake and then give us a hard blow."

"Don't think I'm trying to scare you. What I said is actually the truth. You guys only care about your own little piece of land. I'm really disappointed in you. I thought someone among you would remind me, but I didn't expect that no one would stand up. How can I continue to expand my army with confidence?"

"In the previous battle, we fought very well and made a name for our independent regiment. According to the news from Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment, we will be given the designation of a division. By then, even if I can't become a division commander, I can be a deputy division commander. You guys can also move up a level and become a regiment commander without any problems."

"That was my original plan, but your performance today really disappointed me. I am not at ease handing over two or three thousand soldiers to you. You should just be my battalion commander!"

"When you have a sense of the overall situation, I will promote you again. No more nonsense, let's continue the previous topic."

"According to my judgment, that bastard Yamamoto Ikki should be hiding in the back mountain. With our current strength, it is indeed no problem to search the mountain, but if we do so, we will most likely be defeated by the devils one by one."

"If what I predicted is correct, Yamamoto Ikki should also learn our guerrilla tactics. When it comes to guerrilla warfare, we are the ancestors. You can't throw away our expertise!"
