In the daytime battle, the 43 special forces team members, together with Political Commissar Zhao and the guards, were able to destroy an enemy squadron and a squad without any damage. This was an incredible victory.

Li Yunlong planned to use the seized weapons and ammunition to form the Fourth Battalion of the Independent Regiment, so that he would have four battalions of troops.

Moreover, Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion has now been reorganized. As long as it absorbs some rescued veterans, it will soon regain its previous strength.

It was with this purpose in mind that Li Yunlong spent a lot of money at dinner time. He took out ten kilograms of cooking oil and twenty kilograms of lard, as well as the canned food captured from the Japanese, and cooked a pot of rich meal for everyone.

Everyone praised the food and their identification with the Independence Regiment deepened.

After all this was done, Kong Hao came to the independent regiment meeting room and reported a very important piece of information:

"Captain Li, Captain Kong, when our special forces were ambushing outside today, we seemed to have found traces of Yamamoto's special forces."

After hearing this explosive news, the two men stood up in surprise, especially Kong Jie, whose eyes were wide open, and he looked as if he wanted to eat someone.

The tragic defeat that night was an eternal pain in Kong Jie's heart. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to pull out this thorn in his heart, but he had never found any trace of that bastard Yamamoto, and he had always regretted it deeply.

He heard from Kong Hao that the Yamamoto Special Forces' base was in Taiyuan. With the strength of the Independent Regiment, how could he possibly go to Taiyuan to seek revenge on the enemy?

Now, upon hearing the news about his enemy, Kong Jie shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Where are they? I'm going to take some people to chop them up and avenge my brothers."

Seeing this, Li Yunlong could only comfort his old comrade:

"Old Kong, don't get so excited. Let Xiao Kong finish what he has to say."

"Once we know the details of Yamamoto's special forces, I will take the independent regiment with you to seek revenge, even if it means disobeying the orders of my superiors."

After hearing this, Kong Jie realized that he was too emotional and this would not solve the actual problem.

He chose to sit down again, took out his pipe and prepared to take a few puffs of cigarette to calm down, but after he filled it with tobacco, his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't light the cigarette with a match.

Li Yunlong, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he quickly took the match from Kong Jie's hand and helped him light the cigarette.

"Xiao Kong, keep talking!"

Kong Hao did not respond, but turned around and shouted outside the door:

"Monk, come in quickly."

Wei Dayong walked in quickly and said with a simple and honest face:

"Hello, Sirs!"

Kong Hao quickly explained: "He was encountered by the special forces during an ambush. He was being chased by more than 30 Japanese soldiers at the time, and we rescued him."

"Monk, tell the two regiment commanders everything you encountered at the Japanese stronghold."

Wei Dayong saluted the three people present, and then said loudly:

"I was a member of the 27th Division of the Northwest Army. I was knocked unconscious by a shell during a battle. When I woke up, I was in a prisoner-of-war camp of the Japanese."

"The Japanese here are really not human. They often use our prisoners of war for training. Their attacks are all deadly and ordinary people are no match for them at all."

"And their weapons and equipment were different from those of the ordinary Japanese soldiers. Each of them wore a unique steel helmet, and each of them had a submachine gun and a pistol."

"By the way, I fought with one of their leaders. He was pretty good. If I hadn't learned some Shaolin Kung Fu, I might not have been able to defeat him."

"I took the opportunity to steal the man's gun, a Browning pistol, but unfortunately I lost it when I climbed over the wall."

After listening to this, Li Yunlong seemed to have realized something and hurriedly asked the guard to bring the helmet that Yamamoto's special forces had lost.

After Wei Dayong read it, he nodded and said:

"Yes, that's the kind of helmet."

After seeing that they had received satisfactory answers, Li Yunlong specifically asked:

"Wei Dayong, since you are so skilled, you should stay in the independent regiment to fight the Japanese. With your health, it would be a pity if you don't become a guard."

Before Monk Wei could speak, Kong Hao spoke first:

"Captain Li, the monk has already been selected by our special forces. He is a natural talent for special forces, so don't think about him."

Seeing this, Li Yunlong stopped talking. The special forces team had the priority to choose all personnel, and as long as Kong Hao liked them, they would be provided unconditionally.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Yunlong specifically asked Kong Hao if he could also be a special forces member?

After all, he had been practicing martial arts since he was eight years old, so he was very tough, and he also had decent swordsmanship.

However, Kong Hao rejected it outright and said bluntly: With Li Yunlong's ability, it is impossible.

Li Yunlong was so angry that he almost died, and he completely gave up the idea of going to the battlefield himself to avenge his enemies and fight the Japanese.

Next, Kong Hao asked Wei Dayong to leave first, and they prepared to discuss the next battle plan.

However, Kong Jie calmed down and saw the location pointed out by Kong Hao on the map, and he was immediately confused again.

The Nanji stronghold is the largest one in the vicinity except for the county town. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a small fortress.

The entire stronghold not only has six large artillery towers, but also has communication trenches leading directly to the outside and solid positions. It is not the single artillery tower they had attacked before.

There were more than 600 defenders at the Nanji stronghold, including a squadron of defenders, a battalion of puppet troops, and an unknown number of Yamamoto's special forces.

This is a tough nut to crack. With the current strength of the independent regiment, it is impossible to chew it.

Moreover, this place was a long distance away from the independent regiment's defense zone and was even in the neighboring county. Without orders from superiors, they mobilized a large force to attack the enemy's stronghold.

It would be fine if they win, but if they lose, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie will probably be in big trouble.

Especially this battle, which was specially carried out by the Independent Regiment for revenge.

If they win big, everyone will probably give them a thumbs-up and praise them: "What a brave man, he will take revenge!"

However, if they lost the battle or suffered heavy casualties, their independent regiment would be branded as overestimating its own capabilities, and removing two of their leaders from their positions would be the lightest punishment.

Li Yunlong frowned and said, "Xiao Kong, can your rocket launcher destroy these fortifications?"

Kong Hao had conducted a field reconnaissance of the place during the day and had figured out the defense measures outside.

But precisely because of this, the Nanji stronghold is a tough nut to crack.

He said in embarrassment: "Captain Li, the Japanese have many fortifications outside the stronghold. My rocket launcher can only exert its maximum power at a distance of 300 meters. If I don't know the outer positions, I can't reach them at all."

"Besides, there is an open area outside the enemy base, and there are so many eyes watching. Even if we try to sneak in, we can't do it."

"Only after we have captured all the enemy positions outside can we effectively destroy the enemy's artillery towers."
