Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

On the morning of October 26, on the hillside behind the Changshengkou Canyon river.

At this time, Zeng Jiwen looked at the ancient road of Changshengkou. The terrain on both sides was steep, and there was a river in the canyon, but it was still enough to accommodate pack horses and mechanized vehicles to wade through the water.

"Look at the terrain, Old Chen. According to the normal marching formation of the Japanese army, their middle echelon should be three squadrons. Have you thought about how to fight?" Zeng Jiwen said to Chen Zifeng.

"Commander, you see, this canyon is directly cut off by the river. We can wait until the Japanese are halfway across the river and then launch our attack."

"At the same time, because of the erosion of the river channel, we can bury explosives in advance at the counterattack position on this trail to give these Japanese troops some extra food." Chen Zifeng said.

"However, Brigade Commander, look here, the Nanling Station in the middle of Niangziguan Jingxing is now occupied by the Japanese army."

"Nanling is only one mountain behind Changshengkou. After passing the mountain, we can go around Dalongwo and go directly to Changshengkou along Xiaolongwo Village. It's right behind us. We have to send a troop to conduct reconnaissance and alert in this area, just in case!" said Cai Shen.

"Well, this is a problem. Old Chen, call the third battalion commander Li Yunlong over. I have a task for him." Zeng Jiwen said to Chen Zifeng.

"Yes!" After saying that, Chen Zifeng left the command center to look for Li Yunlong.

"Um, Brigade Commander, should you think about it again? Li Yunlong is not suitable at this time!" Cai Xu looked at the direction Chen Zifeng was going, feeling a little worried.

It's no wonder that Cai Xu was a little worried. As an old troublemaker who had been up and down for five years, Cai Xu knew this man's name too well.

He was whipped by the brigade commander several times, and he was always alive and kicking. Now he was asked to go to the rear for reconnaissance, which is like a monkey's butt, he can't sit still.

"Haha, Lao Cai." Zeng Jiwen laughed.

"If it were normal times, I would definitely send someone more reliable. You have to know that once we start fighting here, the Japanese troops on the front line and in Jingxing will definitely get the news first," Zeng Jiwen said.

"And the Nanling Station in the middle is the best support location for Niangzi Pass, but currently the front line can only support one squadron at most, so this requires a flexible mind."

"This kid has a lot of clever ideas in battle, but he's not so foolish as to make big decisions. If there's no reinforcement, let him do whatever he wants."

Zeng Jiwen explained to Cai Xu.

"Hahaha, Lao Zeng, aren't you afraid that this guy will poke a hole in you?" Deng Xie said with a smile.

"Hehe, if he has this ability, that's fine!" Zeng Jiwen said with a smile.

"Old Zeng, you've put a tight ring around his neck and let him run wild in Nanling. Aren't you afraid that in the end he won't get any fish and will end up smelling like fish?"

Cai Xu was naturally not blind and guessed Zeng Jiwen's thoughts at once.

This is to let Li Yunlong go and get some scraps of information from Nanling. At present, Li Yunlong is the most suitable person in the group.

"Then we won't have enough people to ambush them during this period." Deng Xie said.

"Then let's draw a battalion from the 781st and 783rd Regiments respectively. They will each face a squadron of Japanese troops. The manpower is enough. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, we should strengthen the ambush forces in the middle and fight quickly and decisively." Zeng Jiwen said, looking around.

After that, everyone agreed, and Cai Xie left the command center and began to prepare to command the battle.

After a while, Li Yunlong trotted to the entrance of Zeng Jiwen's command department.

Through the door, I heard

"Commander, my great commander, our old Li is here to see you!"

After saying that, he walked into the brigade headquarters with a smile on his face and saluted Zeng Jiwen.

"Oh, the political commissar is here too!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"Brigade Commander, the regiment commander said you were looking for me," Li Yunlong said with a licking face.

"Yes, look at the map. This is Nanling. There is a mountain behind us. I plan to let you lead the third battalion to conduct surveillance and reconnaissance in this area behind the mountain." Zeng Jiwen said, pointing to the map.

Li Yunlong glanced at the map and rolled his eyes.

"Ah! Brigade Commander, no, I won't do it, no matter what." Li Yunlong said reluctantly, shaking his big head.

"It sounds good to say, 'guard and reconnaissance,' but it's still just the reserve force. Others are enjoying the good life in the front, while we, Old Li, have to watch from behind and keep watch for these bastards."

No matter how much he said, Li Yunlong was unwilling to do it.

Zeng Jiwen slammed the table, causing it to shake.

"You think I'm negotiating with you, Li Yunlong? I'm telling you, you have to go whether you want to or not. Why are you being picky?"

Zeng Jiwen cursed at Li Yunlong.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong shrank his head and dared not speak.

At this time, Deng Xie stood up and said,

"Lao Zeng, calm down."

Turning to look at Li Yunlong,

"Li Yunlong, there must be a reason why Lao Zeng asked you to go. Look at Nanling Mountains and then look at the back mountain. I asked you to go and you will know why." Deng Xie said with a smile.

"Ah, Commissar, how should I know that?"

"Then look here." Deng Xie pointed to Nanling Mountains on the map.

Li Yunlong looked at Nanling Station on the map, then looked at Niangzi Pass and Jingxing, with a thoughtful look on his face, and nodded.

He licked Zeng Jiwen's face and said:

"Commander, it's okay for you to go to the back mountain area for surveillance and reconnaissance, but if there's no one around, you have to give me some room to maneuver."

"Free play, what do you want to do with free play, Captain Li? I asked you to guard against the small group of enemies coming from Nanling. What do you want to do?" Zeng Jiwen stared at Li Yunlong with his head tilted.

Li Yunlong felt his whole body go numb when he was stared at. He shuddered and shook his head.

"No, Brigade Commander, you don't know me, Old Li. I'm a serious and good boy. Don't accuse me wrongly."

"Oh, don't I know you? My Captain Li! As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what shit you're going to do!"

"I don't care about anything else. As long as you, Li Yunlong, keep an eye on this area in the back mountain for eight hours to prevent small groups of troops from infiltrating, I won't care about anything else."

"If you let an enemy here, I'll have your head."

Zeng Jiwen held the horsewhip against Li Yunlong.

"Yes, Commander, let one of the enemies come over here, and I'll kill myself first, so you can save a bullet!"

Li Yunlong stood at attention.

"Okay, good, go ahead, take your third battalion with you!" Zeng Jiwen said and threw the whip on the table next to him.

"Yes!"

After saying this, Li Yunlong left the brigade headquarters.

At this time, Deng Xie looked at Zeng Jiwen.

"Brigade Commander, you wanted Li Yunlong to extort scraps from Nanling. Did he see that? If he had just followed your orders, you would have miscalculated... Hahahaha"

"Haha, it would be strange if he couldn't see it!"

"Old Deng, can't you see? This guy is acting like he's playing a trick on me. The moment I told him the location, he just stared at the map and rolled his eyes."

"You just confirmed it again with him, and he's even more convinced. Didn't he see it's my turn to make the conditions?"

"Hey, I really didn't see that. Why are you so angry?"

"If you don't act realistically to reassure this kid, who knows what tricks he'll play on you later."

"And I've allowed him to extort some money, but how much depends on his ability. If we're lucky, we'll have more money for the next battle."

"Hahaha, if Li Yunlong knew that you, the brigade commander, were scheming against him like this, he would definitely fight you to the death."

"Hehe, if he dares, then I would only send him. I wouldn't trust anyone else, but this kid. You know what, sometimes he can really do the trick."

"Hahahahaha"

The brigade headquarters was suddenly filled with laughter.

Li Yunlong left the brigade headquarters and quickly returned to the third battalion and called the communicator.

"Notify the entire battalion, urgent assembly!"

"Yes!" The battalion's communicator immediately went out to convey the order.

"Old Li, is there a mission?" Instructor Zhong Zhicheng asked as he went out.

"That's right, hehe, our brigade commander personally selected the generals. There are so many people in our 389th Brigade, but he only selected me. What do you think?"

Li Yunlong smiled at Zhong Zhicheng with wrinkles all over his face.

"Oh, Lao Li, so our battalion has a heavy task ahead of it. The brigade commander has personally issued the order."

"No problem, just execute it. We can discuss the specific tasks while we're on the way."

After the entire battalion gathered together, they headed towards the Nanling Mountains behind the mountain.

On the mountain path behind the mountain, Zhong Zhicheng asked Li Yunlong as he walked.

"Old Li, let's talk now. We're all here, let's divide the work."

"Yes, Lao Li, you have been smiling as if you had eaten bee poop since you came out. What good mission do you have?" said Deputy Battalion Commander Yang Guilin.

"You don't know Lao Li yet. He doesn't eat a lot of meat, but he runs so actively." Deputy instructor Qiu Jiayuan said.

"Hey, guys, you'll understand once I tell you."

"The brigade commander has ordered our third battalion to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance in the area behind the mountain to prevent small groups of enemies from attacking us from behind, especially those from the Nanling Mountains."

"That's not right, Lao Li. How can this be considered a good thing? This isn't a security team." Yang Guilin shook the cigarette butt and said depressedly.

"Hehe, our Lao Li is such a disadvantaged person, is he really needed just for the sake of being on guard?"

"When I went to the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander kept emphasizing Nanling Station when talking to me. Don't you know what he means?" Li Yunlong said to Yang Guilin with his big head.

"What do you mean?" Yang Guilin didn't seem to come out.

"The brigade commander wanted me to get a shuttle at Nanling Station, but he didn't say it explicitly. His attitude was very clear. Let me tell you, Lao Yang, this guy needs to use his brain." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"Damn Li Yunlong, look how beautiful you are. You're awesome, but no one can catch up with your stupid brain."

Yang Guilin said helplessly, and then everyone laughed.

"Shen Quan, come here. What are you laughing at? Be careful or I'll punish you later."

"Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Shen Quan, did you hear the order just now? Lead the reconnaissance platoon forward to conduct reconnaissance and find out the situation of the Japanese invaders in Nanling."

"Yes!" After saying that, he led the reconnaissance platoon forward to investigate.

"Old Li, are you sure the brigade wants us to cause trouble at Nanling Station? It's a hornet's nest. If we poke it, all the Japanese soldiers from Jingxing and Niangziguan will rush over. We won't be able to escape then!"

Zhong Zhicheng was a little worried.

"Hehe, Lao Zhong, don't worry, this is what the brigade commander meant. The political commissar reminded me again. If I don't understand, I'm not Li Yunlong, hahahaha..."

"Hey, look how happy he is. But you must admit, among all our battalion-level cadres, only Li Yunlong has the most tricks up his sleeve and always gets into trouble," said Qiu Jiayuan.

"Hahaha..."

After saying this, everyone burst into laughter.
