A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

As the whistle sounded, hundreds of soldiers from the Third Battalion of the 772nd Regiment quickly gathered in the open space in front of the Wei Zhuang Battalion.

The deputy head looked at Li Yunlong with a smile on his face.

"Old Li, when I went to the division headquarters this time, the division commander even praised our Third Battalion."

"He said that both of our ambushes were brilliantly executed. This time, the ambush at Qigen Village not only severely dampened the enemy's morale and demonstrated the prestige of our Eighth Route Army, but it also indirectly rescued over 1000 soldiers from Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army."

"Is there still this matter?"

Li Yunlong asked doubtfully.

"General Zeng and his men were trapped by the Japanese near Niangzi Pass. Breaking out was hopeless, but after our second ambush at Qigen Village, we cut off the Japanese's supplies and ammunition. The Japanese had no choice but to withdraw troops to support Qigen Village. General Zeng led his men and successfully broke out."

"For this, he even called our division headquarters to express his gratitude. All of this is thanks to the soldiers of our Third Battalion!"

The deputy regiment commander looked at the soldiers who had already gathered, and immediately saw Zheng Kaixuan carrying an iron box backpack.

"Zheng Kaixuan, Wang Chengzhu, step out!"

"Yes!"

Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Chengzhu quickly took two steps forward, walked out of the line, walked to the side of the deputy regiment commander and Li Yunlong, then turned around and faced everyone.

"This time, Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Chengzhu performed exceptionally well in battle. Even the brigade commander and division commander are aware of this. I want to commend these two comrades. All the soldiers of the Third Battalion must follow their example and fight bravely! Courageously achieve meritorious service."

"The regimental headquarters has decided to appoint Zheng Kaixuan as the squad leader of the first squad, first platoon, first company, third battalion, and Wang Chengzhu as the squad leader of the second squad, first platoon, first company, third battalion."

Thunderous applause immediately broke out in the crowd and lasted for a long time.

"I am now an official?"

Zheng Kaixuan became a little uncontrollably excited.

Although the position of squad leader is not a high-ranking one, he is a modern man who just traveled through time and space. He became a squad leader by virtue of his outstanding combat performance. The sense of accomplishment is still very strong.

An Eighth Route Army squad consists of a squad leader, a deputy squad leader, and ten soldiers.

When fully staffed, a squad consists of twelve people, and a platoon consists of three squads.

The platoon leader of the first platoon of the first company of the third battalion was none other than Shen Quan, their immediate superior.

Shen Quan was standing next to him, his nose almost crooked with anger, and he was muttering softly.

"Two lunatics who love to disobey orders, and they were even promoted to squad leaders. I don't know where they learned this disobedient habit from. I don't know if I can control them anymore..."

Li Yunlong had sharp ears and glared at Shen Quan fiercely. Only then did Shen Quan shut his mouth wisely.

"Alright, I'm announcing now that the entire Third Battalion is preparing to proceed to Huangya Village to carry out an ambush. Everyone, pack your bags and check your weapons and equipment. In half an hour, the entire battalion will assemble and depart."

Upon hearing that there was a new combat mission, the soldiers all became busy and ran into the house, quickly packing up the necessary supplies and equipment.

The Eighth Route Army has always been a people-oriented one, moving their homes and their pots with them. Wherever they go, that is their base.

In the past, when we were penniless, we could pack up very quickly, and it would only take a few minutes.

But this time the Third Battalion won two great victories and became financially stronger, so it took a little longer.

When the whole battalion gathered again.

Li Yunlong walked out of the battalion headquarters with the deputy regiment commander looking reluctant.

"Damn it! Why let the 771st Regiment lead the attack? As for ambushes, that's our 772nd Regiment's forte. We can handle that, but this time, the main attack on this ambush mission should be carried out by our 772nd Regiment..."

"Old Wang, why don't you dare to fight the brigade commander?"

The deputy head of the regiment had a dark face and glared at Li Yunlong.

"Old Li, stop complaining to me. If you don't want to, go and pick a fight with the brigade commander, or go and ask the division commander..."

When Li Yunlong heard the deputy regiment commander mention the brigade commander and the division commander, he immediately fell silent.

When Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Chengzhu saw this scene, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and quickly stood in the assembly team.

"set off!"

The third battalion quickly assembled and, under the leadership of the deputy regiment commander and Li Yunlong, they followed the narrow path and crossed the mountains. After spending several hours, they successfully arrived at Huangya Village on the afternoon of November 11st.

Near Huangya Village, there is a huge dried-up river.

The river channel in the northeast is relatively open and flat. The further south you go, the narrower the river channel becomes, and the mountains on both sides become higher and higher, until it reaches a place called Huangyadi, where it becomes a natural and extremely narrow canyon.

When Li Yunlong led Zheng Kaixuan and others to the river, a middle-aged military officer wearing glasses and with a majestic demeanor was walking back and forth in the river and the canyon with a group of people, directing something.

The moment he saw this man, Zheng Kaixuan knew that this man was none other than the famous commander of the 386th Brigade!

The man who, in Li Yunlong's heart, is more powerful than the Lord!

"Old Li, the brigade commander is here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him. Don't you want to fight the brigade commander? Go ahead!"

The deputy head of the regiment pulled Li Yunlong and raised his voice deliberately.

At this moment, the brigade commander also saw Li Yunlong and walked towards them.

The brigade commander glared.

"Li Yunlong, I think I heard you were planning to pick a fight with me? What, you have a problem with not letting you take the lead this time?"

The moment he saw the brigade commander, Li Yunlong immediately wilted.

He quickly put on a smile.

"Hey, my dear brigade commander, who told you that? Why would I pick a fight with you? I'm just a battalion commander now, how dare I have any opinions?"

"That's good! If you have any objections, tell me directly. Don't let your emotions get in the way during a battle. Your 772nd Regiment, especially the 3rd Battalion, have already eaten dumplings twice in a row, and their mouths are drooling. This time, let the 771st Regiment take the lead in the attack."

"However, although you are not the main attacker, your mission is not simple. You are responsible for blocking the Japs' retreat and making sure they are surrounded and killed."

"Yes, Brigade Commander, the 772nd Regiment is committed to completing the mission."

"The 3rd Battalion is committed to completing the mission."

The brigade commander turned his eyes and saw Zheng Kaixuan and Wang Chengzhu following not far behind Li Yunlong.

If for no other reason, these two people are just too conspicuous.

Wang Chengzhu was leading a horse, which was loaded with a mortar that he had captured from the Japanese.

He kept his eyes fixed on his precious baby, as if he was afraid that it would be stolen.

As for Zheng Kaixuan, he was carrying his iconic iron box backpack and holding a Hanyang-made level 8 modified fully automatic rifle in his arms.

The brigade commander recognized him at a glance.

"Are you Zheng Kaixuan?"

"Yes, I'm Zheng Kaixuan, squad leader of the first platoon of the first company of the third battalion of the 772nd Regiment. I'd like to meet the brigade commander."

Zheng Kaixuan immediately saluted the brigade commander.

"Great! I heard you're a graduate of the Military Academy. Work hard! The Anti-Japanese War battlefield needs talents like you."

When he saw Zheng Kaixuan, the brigade commander showed an encouraging smile on his face.

However, he was soon attracted by the Hanyang fully automatic rifle in Zheng Kaixuan's arms.

"That precious thing in your arms is the gun you used to suppress the Japanese in Qigeng Village last time, right? It's really good!"
