Rise from the sword

Chapter 181 Two Requirements for New Business
"This business is really interesting."

After listening to Zhao Gang's narration, Li Yunlong spread out the map given along with the business materials on the table, and pointed his finger at a location called Huting Stronghold, with a really interesting expression.

He is familiar with this place.

Several times, he planned to attack the devils here, but was delayed.

The first time he was preparing to do it, Chen Laodi gave him a business to ambush the devil's Kwantung Army squadron. When he was preparing to do it for the second time, he squeezed out information about the Taiyuan devils from Chen Laodi. He went to Taiyuan to deal with the devil's gold and the airport. .

This time, hey hey, you guys can't escape.

"The Huting stronghold is in the northwest of us, more than 100 miles away from Yangcun. This place is a transport transfer station for devils, and more than 100 devils are stationed there."

Li Yunlong is like every treasure:
"This group of devils is not strong in combat. They are second-line troops, and they are not equipped with heavy weapons. They only have three heavy machine guns. However, the devils have built a circle of solid positions around the stronghold. The bunkers and trenches are fully equipped with various fortifications."

"In addition, more than 30 miles behind the stronghold is Jiao County, where a regiment of the First Army is stationed."

Zhang Dabiao, who had just been called over, hadn't read the detailed information, so he asked suspiciously:
"Our business this time is to deal with this stronghold?"

"So simple?"

Afterwards, Zhang Dabiao patted him on the chest, and said in a confident tone, "Leader, leave this task to me, and I promise to overthrow this stronghold for you in a day and a half."

A stronghold is essentially a large artillery building, but it is somewhat different from a simple artillery building. Because of the role of a military station, that is, functions such as traffic transfers, the defense range of the stronghold is much larger than that of the artillery building, and there are more troops stationed there. Moreover, it is connected to the road. , The support speed of devils in other places is very fast.

However, for today's independent regiment, it should not be too easy to take down this stronghold. Send a battalion of troops with a [-]-type infantry artillery, counting the time to come and go, it can be solved in a day and a half.

As for the devil's alliance more than 30 kilometers away, this can be ignored. With the strength of the devils in the Huting stronghold, not to mention an alliance, even a division is too late.By the time the devil reinforcements arrived, the stronghold had already been overturned.

The other two battalion commanders stared at Zhang Dabiao with wide eyes, regretting why they didn't take this combat mission directly.

"My old brother Chen is a very rich man. I don't know how rich the property in his hand is. How can a small stronghold fall into his eyes?"

Li Yunlong glared at Zhang Dabiao who was eager to fight:
"This business is big."

Looking around at the company and battalion commanders, Li Yunlong deliberately paused for a moment in the curious and expectant eyes of everyone before continuing:
"Brother Chen sent information that after 21 days, a big fish will pass through the road to the left of the Huting stronghold. The first requirement of this business is to let us catch this big fish."

"A big fish in a net?"

Zhang Dabiao frowned. He was obviously very dissatisfied with this kind of vague information: "This information means that there is a devil's convoy passing there? Or is it something else, such as a devil officer?"

The so-called big fish, in their words, is either the devil's supply team or the devil's commander.

"There is no detailed information on the intelligence."

Li Yunlong shook his head: "However, you don't need to think about it, you know, this must be a devil officer with a good net."

"Um···"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Yes, it must be a devil officer, and it can only be a devil officer."

The rest of the battalion commanders, as well as a few company commanders who came to the meeting, also showed stunned expressions.

"What?"

Only the monk touched his head, looking puzzled.

Didn't you write about what a big fish in a net is?

Why are they all so sure they are devil officers?
"Think about our business with Chen Fan. That time, he didn't just want the devil's life. He didn't even want a single ton of gold from Taiyuan before. This must be the devil's officer."

Wang Gensheng next to the monk explained.

"correct."

The monk suddenly remembered.

This mysterious Chen Fan, along the way, only wants the devil's life.The captain of the Sakata United, Ikeda Jiuichi, the Kwantung Army Squadron, even if it was the business of the devil's gun tower, it was also a request that no devil be left behind.

Really, I don't ask for money, I only want the devil's life.

"Ambush in this place is not difficult."

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan looked at the map on the table and said, "This road is surrounded by mountainous areas, which is more suitable for ambush. A battalion's troops can be hidden, and there is no large group of devils stationed nearby."

"I just don't know the size of the devil's garrison for this net of fish?"

"There are not many devils to guard, no more than one squadron at most."

Li Yunlong replied.

It is written in this business information.

"Then any battalion will do."

Shen Quan nodded and looked at his team leader expectantly.

That look seemed to say, let me go!
"Commander, did you just say that this is the first request?"

Zhang Dabiao narrowed his eyes. .

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong looked around, smiled, and continued: "Yes, catching this big fish is the first requirement of this business, and the price is 35 tons of weapons and ammunition."

"35 tons..."

All the battalion and company commanders looked at each other.

Given the difficulty of this mission, this is almost 25 tons of weapons and ammunition given away for nothing.Moreover, even for today's independent regiment, 35 tons is enough for the independent regiment to fully fire and fight a fierce battle with the devils, and there is still room left.

The bombardment of Taiyuan, such a large-scale battle, only consumed exactly twenty tons of ammunition.

Everyone didn't speak, but looked at their leader eagerly.

"The focus of this business is the second requirement."

Li Yunlong emphasized his tone:

"According to the information given by Chen Fan's brother, after 20 days, Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the devil's North China Front Army, came to the vicinity of Jiao County. The second request was to kill this old devil."

"Michiichi Miyano, Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army?"

Shen Quan's eyes widened.

"I remember, this old devil is born in the middle school."

Zhang Dabiao licked his lips.

Even knowing that the second request is more difficult than the first request, and more exciting than the first request, everyone really did not expect such a huge super fish.

Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army.

Devil lieutenant general.

This one can be said to be the second in command of the entire North China region of the devil.

If you kill this guy...
So····
I couldn't think of what would happen, but all the people in the regiment headquarters were uncontrollably excited. No matter what would happen if he was killed, it was what everyone was looking forward to anyway.

For the Eighth Route Army, it is a good thing.

As a result, all the battalion commanders looked at Li Yunlong with burning eyes, and Zhang Dabiao almost punched his head.

What a big fish in one net, killing this person is more exciting than fishing in ten big fish.

"As long as Miyano Michiichi is killed, the price is two hundred big mules."

Li Yunlong stated the price in a polite manner.

Many battalion and company commanders, who were already breathing hot, suddenly stagnated.

In the current independent regiment where weapons and ammunition are gradually abundant, what do the company and battalion commanders want most?
It's not more cannons, nor more bullets and guns. At present, when the speed of troop expansion is limited, enough weapons and ammunition are enough. Too many of these things are cumbersome.

What everyone wants most is a big mule.

The kind of big mule that can hunch three hundred catties, and can walk like flying on the cliffs and cliffs in the dense forest.

The reason why the Independent Regiment was able to raid Taiyuan Airport not long ago was that the big mule's terrible mountain transportation ability was the top priority. Without the big mule, how could a mere company of troops carry [-] shells.

The ability to transport supplies is what an army needs most.

In the vision of the battalion commanders of the companies, it is best for each company to be equipped with more than 20 large mules to transport weapons, ammunition and food supplies.In this way, the combat effectiveness of each company can be doubled, the continuous combat capability can also be doubled, and the maneuverability can also be doubled.

However, big mules are too rare, and they are only given as gifts with weapons and ammunition, and they are getting less and less. At the beginning, they were one for one ton of weapons and ammunition, but when the weapons and ammunition were delivered to the cannon building before, they were already five tons of weapons and ammunition. .

Moreover, that Chen Fan also said that the big mules are given away for free, up to 250, so far, it is almost the same.

And after the brigade commander took some of them away and some of them were lost in battle, the independent regiment now has only 150 big mules. Because of the scarcity of the number, the big mules are given priority to the transportation team of the regiment headquarters. Except for the artillery company, they are hardly distributed to the frontline troops. use.

If you can get two hundred big mules.

So it's not a problem to allocate seven or eight heads to a company.

The eyes of the battalion commanders became more and more scorching.

"However, there is a problem here."

Li Yunlong calmed down the excitement of the crowd: "Even Brother Chen can't figure out the specific whereabouts of this person. I only know that this guy will lead a small team of escort convoys around Jiao County."

"Then take companies as units and ambush around Jiao County."

"Squat him."

Zhang Dabiao quickly came up with the idea, and he said viciously:

"Our regiment has a total of ten infantry companies. Excluding the one battalion that caught the first net fish, there are seven more, which can basically cover the road traffic nodes around Jiao County."

"A small group of devil soldiers can be dealt with by any company of our regiment, and there is no need to wipe them out. We just need to kill Miyano Michiichi. It is not difficult to do it when the firepower is superior."

"Once someone finds this guy, send a signal gun, and the cavalry battalion will quickly support him. Cooperate with the discovered company to kill the old devil. Once the devil is killed, he will retreat immediately. The devil reinforcements in Jiaoxian County will gather to stop the attack. With the support of the artillery company, Gaining an hour shouldn't be a problem."

"However, the Jiaoxian Devils have a regiment after all, and they are equipped with 105-caliber heavy artillery. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight a blocking battle."

"Yes, that's a good idea."

The second and third battalion commanders, as well as Yan Sheng and Sun Desheng, collectively applauded.

As for casualties, how can there be no casualties in war, as long as there are more devils dead, it is profitable.

This group of dogs, one by one, got carried away with pride! ·····Responding to everyone's reaction, Chief Li's eyes twitched, and he slapped the table with a bad tone:
"Then what about our regiment's mission?"

"Ever since Yiyitian was sneaked in by the devils, the headquarters has been stationed at the rear of our regiment. Now our task is to protect the security of the flanks of the headquarters. Once our regiment leaves, let the devils enter?"

"It's understandable to want to beat devils, but you must not forget your mission." Zhao Gang interjected.

After the Xinyi Regiment took over the Shou County Devils, the Independent Regiment was mainly responsible for guarding the headquarters.

When Li Datuan got angry, everyone immediately fell silent, and all of them were downcast.

The safety of the headquarters is more important than anything else, even if the emperor is found on the opposite side, it has to be put aside.

"What about the 772 and 773 regiments?"

Zhang Dabiao looked at the map on the table: "Aren't these two regiments defending the flanks of the headquarters?"

"The 772 and 773 regiments suffered heavy losses in the previous battle of Guanjiaan. Some were withdrawn to the mountainous area for repairs, and some went to support the surrounding base areas." Zhao Gang explained the whereabouts of the two regiments to the regiment headquarters.

"Then the second request is difficult."

Shen Quan's tone was full of pity: "A squad of devils escorts the convoy, they will definitely not take mountain roads, the roads around Jiaoxian County do not have suitable terrain for ambush."

The meeting room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone really wanted to kill this Miyano Michiichi and get those two hundred big mules.It's okay to mess around at ordinary times, but when the devil's raid is not over, you must not mess around.Moreover, it is also related to the safety of the headquarters.

Before, the fact that the Yamazaki brigade was discovered after rushing into the core arsenal of the base area had already taught everyone a bloody lesson.In case a group of devils rush in when they leave the line of defense, then...

"How about sending Wang Xikui and Cao Mantang to attack?" Someone came up with an idea.

"No, this devil travels in an armored car, so he can only be killed at close range, and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat. Once they shoot, these two people will never be able to leave."

Someone immediately objected.

It is clearly written in the intelligence materials that Miyano Michiichi took an armored truck during his travels.

The people who couldn't think of a way looked at their leader with doubts and expectations.

Based on their understanding of Li Yunlong, the head of their own team would never let such a large sum of goodies slip away.However, is there any way to kill this Miyano Michiichi without delaying the guard mission.

"Hey hey..."

"All of you don't know how to use your brain."

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Datuan smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't always think about eating alone. If you have good things, you should also think about brother troops."

"Not long ago, more than 500 devils in Shou County were transferred away. Now there are only more than 500 devils left. The pressure on the new regiment is very small. It must be no problem to borrow a battalion from Ding Wei."

Li Yunlong snapped his fingers and said:
"The new group of property was purchased by labor and capital, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is not much worse than ours."

"The New Second Regiment just fought a battle with the devils, and now it is repairing at the original brigade headquarters more than 50 kilometers away from us. There is no task, and it is no problem to borrow a battalion from them, and then we will send another battalion ourselves, so the strength is completely sufficient. gone."

Because it is a fixed-target kill mission, there is no need to consider who made the move. The system will settle the settlement as long as the target is killed on time, no matter how he died or who killed it.That's why Chen Fan asked Li Yunlong to find reinforcements.

After Li Yunlong's words, the battalion commander's eyes were shining again.

"Come here, send someone to deliver a letter to Xinyituan and Xinertuan, saying that labor and management invite Ding Wei and Kong Jie to eat meat."

In the scorching sight of everyone, Li Yunlong called two cavalry communication groups.

　Some things really cannot be written!

　　The typo will be corrected tomorrow!
