After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

For Li Yunlong at this time.

Whether it was the appearance of Sun Desheng's brother's "cavalry regiment" or the appearance of the reinforced artillery company in Ping'an County.

Even the artillery regiment directly under the brigade!

Looking at the various movements and strategic preparations in the independent brigade’s defense zone today, this garrison seems to have entered a state of war!

But they have not yet seen where the main force of the independent brigade is, that is, no one knows how many troops the independent brigade has!

Li Yunlong has only been able to speculate and guess based on various information.

"This is not something that cannot be discussed." Wang Chengzhu scratched his head. "If the troops directly under the brigades are included, the strength of the independent brigade is already..."

"Duanzao!"

"The Osaka Division is coming!"

Just when Wang Chengzhu was halfway through his words, a slightly anxious voice came from outside!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Chengzhu's deputy walked in quickly, with a serious expression.

"It's already coming?" Wang Chengzhu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly.

"Yes! News came from the forward observation post. It's the 8th Regiment of the Osaka Division! It's the vanguard force!" The deputy quickly repeated the information.

"You've come just in time! Finally you're here. I'm getting impatient waiting for these Japs!" Wang Chengzhu's tone was different from before, full of war-loving attitude.

"Captain, please rest here for a while. I'll be back soon!" After leaving these words, Wang Chengzhu turned around and pushed the door open.

"Zhu..." Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu's departing back and frowned subconsciously.

Zhang Dabiao at the side couldn't help but say: "Captain! Is Zhuzi crazy?"

What does it mean to be impatient waiting for the Osaka Division?

That’s the Osaka Division, a Class A division, not just any ordinary devils!

"Let's go! Let's follow and take a look!" After thinking for a moment, Li Yunlong spoke quickly.

For some reason, he had a vague intuition that this battle of the Independent Brigade was not just about the Osaka Division. Perhaps the entire northwest of Shanxi would be at risk because of the appearance of the Independent Brigade!

After all, in his eyes, the strength shown by the Independent Brigade at this time is definitely just the tip of the iceberg!

"Yes! Commander!" Zhang Dabiao responded loudly.

......

The forward position of the independent brigade.

When Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others caught up, they saw Wang Chengzhu and his men lying on a high slope.

Seeing Li Yunlong and others coming, Wang Chengzhu asked in confusion: "Captain, why are you here too?"

Li Yunlong waved his hands and said, "Zhu Zi! Stop calling me regiment commander! You are a member of the independent brigade now, it is not appropriate to call me that!"

"We are on the same level now, so just call me Captain Li!"

"I brought them here now to see if there is anything I can do to help." Li Yunlong said quickly.

"Okay!" Wang Chengzhu nodded, and then signaled Li Yunlong and others to follow him and lie on the ground.

And at this moment, the entire ground began to tremble slightly, and even the stones on the ground began to shake visibly!

"Tap Tap!"

"Tap Tap!"

The sound of horse hooves is deafening!

"Commander, the cavalry battalion is back!" Deputy Wang Chengzhu quickly noticed the scene in the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that a cloud of dust had been raised where the sound came from, and a large number of cavalrymen were galloping towards this side!

But behind this group of cavalry, there were many Japanese cavalry chasing them closely.

In addition, there was a large number of Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms who were closely following them. Judging from their size, they had the strength of an infantry regiment.

Behind those devils were grenade launchers, infantry guns, and even heavy artillery pulled by large trucks. These were probably the vanguard troops of the Fourth Brigade, the Eighth Regiment.

Such a large number of Japs are sweeping towards this side with such momentum, and the atmosphere of the war is intensifying!

"Captain!" Zhang Dabiao's heart was trembling, and he subconsciously looked at Li Yunlong and spoke.

But Li Yunlong glared at him fiercely, which made Zhang Dabiao swallow his words.

On the other side, Wang Chengzhu was giving instructions to his deputy: "Have you prepared for the ambush?"

"Return to the commander, everything is ready!" the deputy nodded quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded!

"boom!!"

With the power of the explosion, the hillsides on both sides of the road ahead collapsed directly, and a large amount of soil, sand and stones slid down from below!

In an instant, the Eighth Regiment, which had been chasing closely, was cut off in the middle.

Rushing in the front were the panicked Japanese cavalry, and behind them was the Eighth Regiment of the Fourth Division. Now they were unable to take care of both the front and the rear.

Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong and others also looked solemn.

"Whoosh!"

A flare suddenly shot up and exploded in the air.

This seemed like an omen, and a large number of troops that had been ambushed on both sides in advance were directly exposed!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Light and heavy machine guns erupted one after another, and the muzzles continuously spewed out deadly fire snakes, pouring down towards the Japs below.

"Baga! Enemy attack!"

"Hide! Hide quickly!"

When the explosion occurred, the well-trained Japanese soldiers reacted and made corresponding tactical actions.

A large number of Japanese soldiers quickly set up grenade launchers and began to counterattack with firepower.

"boom!"

A crisp gunshot was heard!

Li Yunlong saw with his own eyes that a Japanese grenadier on the battlefield was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Good fight!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

The Japanese grenade launcher squad is usually located in the middle of the Japanese formation, making it very difficult to hit them, let alone shoot them in the head.

But just as he finished his sigh, a few more gunshots rang out.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

There were bursts of dense gunfire, which was very common on the battlefield.

But if Li Yunlong was not mistaken, the Japanese gunners who were preparing to set up artillery positions for counterattack in front of them actually fell to the ground one after another!

At a glance, without exception, they were all shot dead!

"What the hell! What's going on?" Li Yunlong swallowed subconsciously.

If only one Japanese soldier was shot, it could be attributed to good luck, but so many Japanese soldiers were shot in the vital parts one after another, it was definitely not as simple as luck.

Hearing Li Yunlong's doubtful voice, Wang Chengzhu beside him explained at the right time: "This is the sharpshooter company of the independent brigade."

Li Yunlong was stunned: "The Sharpshooter Company?"

"Yes!" Wang Chengzhu affirmed, "Everyone in this company is a sharpshooter, and they all have superb marksmanship. They have only one mission on the battlefield, and that is to kill the Japanese machine gunners and gunners, and even the Japanese officers and sergeants who show up."

"Speaking of which, this Sharpshooter Company is the earliest special unit formed in the brigade, and the company commander of the Sharpshooter Company is also the brigade commander's most trusted adjutant." Wang Chengzhu said solemnly.

"Gunner? Machine gunner? Officer sergeant?"

Not only Li Yunlong, but also several people nearby were shocked.

The two sides haven't engaged in close combat yet, and the distance between them is at least 600 meters. Does that mean this group of people can accurately shoot and kill the Japanese gunners at this distance?

Just as Li Yunlong and others were frowning and digesting this matter.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Another violent explosion sounded again!

Not far below the hillside, six artillery positions suddenly appeared at some point!
