Rise from the sword

Chapter 407 This is Li Yunlong's independent regiment?

On the road from Pan County to Ping'an County, a battalion of soldiers was clearing up the battlefield.

Some people are collecting weapons, ammunition and supplies left by the devils.

These devils' weapons and ammunition are not needed by the independent regiment, and they don't look down on them, but they are delicious for other troops. Although the quality of the devil's [-] big covers is not as good as that of Boss Chen, it is better than those made by Hanyang Too much.

Another group of people was dismantling the devil truck, and in order to speed up, they also used explosives.

The twenty devil trucks have all been destroyed and have no maintenance value, but the steel and other materials inside are good things for the independent group, and they can be taken back to make farm tools and knives.

Especially for those soldiers who had just joined the army, their faces were filled with happy smiles after their first victory, and they worked with extra enthusiasm. In about half an hour, the battlefield was completely raided.

Monk and others also unearthed the previously buried detonating wires during this time.

"How are the casualties?"

During the retreat to the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao asked.

"27 casualties, [-] seriously injured, [-] sacrificed, all new fighters."

The battalion and company commander immediately answered.

"good."

Zhang Dabiao nodded without changing his expression.

There are always casualties in war, which is unavoidable, and this number is completely acceptable, even far lower than Zhang Dabiao's expectations.

In this ambush battle, the battle loss ratio was definitely more than ten to one.

Although he didn't count the dead bodies of the devils, anyway, the devils would come back to clean up the corpses, but it is roughly estimated that more than 150 devils will stay on the road forever.

"The twenty devils driving the truck and the mechanic who accompanied the truck have all been killed, right?"

Zhang Dabiao asked.

"It's all gone, I'm watching."

The long tone of the answer was affirmative.

This is the key point, the rest of the devils can be let go, but these devils must die.

"correct."

As Zhang Dabiao was walking, he suddenly slapped his head: "Send a report to the commander, saying that the battle is over and the ambush was a complete success."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dabiao clicked his tongue, and his tone was emotional:

"Hahaha, I almost forgot that we also have a radio station now."

······
"How about the casualties?"

Arriving in Ping'an County, Yamada immediately organized personnel to count the casualties.

"29 are missing and 22 are injured."

Yamada breathed a sigh of relief at the answer he got.

Missing basically means that the jade is broken, but 29 is completely acceptable.

The soldiers under his command were originally stationed in Xiyang, near Yangquan, and had many fights with Li Yunlong. Some of them even participated in the battle of Shouxian County. They were basically old devils. He retreated decisively, and another brigade took the initiative to attack, which attracted the firepower of the independent regiment, so there were not many casualties.

As for the truck team, it was full of supplies, and there were no people on it, only a driver and a mechanic.

At this time, Yamada was extremely fortunate that he did not grab the position of the mechanic repairman and went to take a comfortable truck, otherwise he would be crushed in the first round. The explosives laid by the attackers were very good. All were blown up.

"How much material was rescued?"

"Is there any loss of weapons and equipment?"

Yamada asked further.

"All the mountain artillery and infantry artillery were lost, as were all the shells, one heavy machine gun was lost, and the rest of the light weapons were intact. We rescued a basic number of bullets, grenade grenades, and some grenades."

Hearing this answer, Yamada breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the loss was huge, his brigade still had combat effectiveness.

Afterwards, Yamada turned his attention to Captain Masaki who was aside, and both of them gave orders to count casualties after returning to Ping'an County.

Coincidentally, at this time, the statistical results of the Mazaki brigade also came out.

"190 people are missing and [-] people are injured."

The casualty data made Masaki, who was already a little sluggish, almost fainted.

He has only 530 people in his brigade, and 190 and seven people are missing all at once, including the injured, more than half of them. In addition, he retreated hastily and lost a lot of weapons and equipment. Now his brigade is almost disabled.

And all of this happened in less than an hour.

"Is this Li Yunlong's independent group?"

Masaki's voice trembled a little.

This is the Li Yunlong Independence Regiment who killed Colonel Sakata, Lieutenant General Miyano and more than a dozen officers of the empire and above, bombarded Taiyuan Airport three times, and blocked the attack of the [-] imperial army?

It was really powerful.

It seems that the legend is not false.

Recalling the previous battles, Masaki discovered that the Eighth Route Army's ambushing strength was actually not large, and it should be equal in number to their two brigades, but their firepower was far stronger than theirs.

This group of the Eighth Route Army is equipped with eight mortars, while their two brigades only have two [-]-type mountain artillery and two [-]-type infantry artillery. The artillery firepower far exceeds that of the imperial army.

The opponent's infantry is equipped with a large number of machine guns, no less than the imperial army. There are also a large number of submachine guns, and even light mortars. The opponent's light firepower is also dominant.

And those two terrifying heavy machine guns.

It is unbelievable that such an Eighth Route Army really exists in the world.

Moreover, the opponent's firepower arrangement is very reasonable, almost perfectly exerting all firepower, and the fighting rhythm completely follows the opponent's pace. This is also the main reason why his brigade's casualties are so terrible.

This also shows that the opposing commander has rich experience.

This kind of Eighth Route Army, let alone the garrison brigade of their second-tier divisions, even the full-staffed brigades of Type A divisions, may not be able to fight well.

yes...
At this point, Masaki suddenly remembered something. More than a year ago, Li Yunlong and his independent regiment had a record of defeating a full-strength brigade of the Fifth Division. Now that brigade has not yet been rebuilt.

"Correct."

Yamada nodded: "This is Li Yunlong and his independent regiment, the enemy we will face next."

"No wonder."

Masaki breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed deeply to Yamada:

"Yamada-kun, I'm sorry, I apologize for what I said earlier."

To be the team leader, Masaki naturally knows a little bit about the world.

This time, the higher-ups must be held accountable for the failure of transporting materials, and his brigade suffered heavy losses, while the Yamada brigade was almost intact and rescued a lot of supplies. It is foreseeable that his voice in Ping'an County will be much lower than that of Yamada. You have to bow your head and admit your mistake.

Otherwise, maybe his brigade would be dismantled and merged into another brigade that day.

"It's ok."

"In the future, we must be more careful. When fighting Li Yunlong, we must be extremely vigilant."

Yamada is very generous, or he didn't care about it at all.

At this moment, he was thinking about one thing.

Why didn't he find the pre-ambushed explosives?Could it be that the opponent's method has been upgraded, no longer using a traction rope, but using a wire to detonate?Yamada, who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, immediately thought of the possibility.

"It must be so..."

"The wires can be buried deep in the ground, with high concealment, and the distance can be farther, and it is almost impossible to be found."

Thinking of the reason, Yamada's brows eased slightly, but then, he wrinkled deeply again, and even his face turned pale, and then gradually his entire face was as pale as paper, and his back was dripping with cold sweat.

He thought of a very, very troublesome question——

How to prepare for the explosive landmines detonated by the independent regiment with wires?
How will this road go in the future?
······
"Nani?"

In Taiyuan, Yoshimoto Yoshimoto was stunned when he received the telegram from Ping'an County. He asked in disbelief: "The transport team was attacked by an independent regiment on the road between Pan County and Ping'an County, and suffered heavy losses?"

"Hi."

The staff officer who reported the bow should be:
"The transport truck team was completely lost, more than [-]% of the supplies were lost, and about two squadrons of the imperial army were injured or injured."

"idiot."

Gibbon immediately smoked from his seven orifices.

"Hi."

The staff officer thought he was going to be slapped again, so he quickly lowered his head and said yes.

"Go down."

Fortunately, Gibbon has just experienced the bombardment of Taiyuan Airport, and he can bear it well in his heart. He can still accept the loss of two squadrons and a little material in his heart.

The staff officer was relieved and left quickly.

"This Li Yunlong..."

After the staff officer left, Gibbon looked at the telegram, and then rubbed his forehead.

He felt a little headache.

He knew about the transportation team from Pan County to Ping'an County, and he had personally asked about it. Gibbon still pays more attention to it.

The transportation team composed of 100 trucks was loaded with a large amount of ammunition and baggage, and was escorted by a full-stack brigade combined by the garrison brigade of the two second-line divisions, with a total strength of more than [-] people.

It has only been more than a month since Li Yunlong retreated from Shou County, and he dared to ambush a full escort convoy?And it also managed to defeat the imperial army, destroy the truck fleet, and cause two squadrons of casualties to the imperial army.

Did the strength recover so quickly?

"So···"

Gibbon turned his gaze to the map on the table, looked at the boundaries of Ping'an County, especially the location of the ambush marked by the staff, and then frowned even deeper.

He found that the location of the ambush was a flat terrain and very close to the main road.

The boundary between Ping'an County and Pan County has important traffic roads in North China passing through, and there are railway lines in the plain area on the edge of the two counties. They are important counties and are responsible for safeguarding the safety of traffic lines.

At this time, Li Yunlong can ambush a transport convoy guarded by a full brigade of the empire in the middle of Pan County and Ping'an County, and if he can win, then he will have the strength to threaten the important traffic passing through Pan County and Ping'an County highway.

Even, it threatened the railway line on the edge of the two counties.

"idiot···"

After thinking for a while, Gibbon realized that he really had nothing to do with Li Yunlong.

He did not expect the strength of Li Yunlong's department to recover so quickly.

According to the intelligence after the sweep, the losses of Li Yunlong's department were very heavy, more than half of the staff was reduced, the loss of officers was even greater, and the combat effectiveness of the troops dropped sharply.

And the most important thing is the low morale of the troops after the huge casualties. According to Gibbon's estimation, it will take at least three or four months for Li Yunlong's independent regiment to recover its combat effectiveness and come out to disrupt law and order.

But now, it's only been less than a month and a half...

He can understand the bombardment of Taiyuan Airport. Li Yunlong's artillery troops did not suffer much losses, and the raid did not require many people.

But to ambush a brigade of the imperial army and win in a short period of time requires quite a strong combat power.

"The strength recovered so quickly."

"Even in an empire supported by the spirit of bushido, even if it is a Division A division, there are very few troops that can do this."

Gibbon took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, there was a hint of ferocity and excitement in his words, and his eyes were serious: "Is this Li Yunlong's independent group? It really has some skills."

······
Zhao Jiayu, an independent group.

regiment.
.
"Report."

A telegraph operator came in, saluted, and said:

"A battalion telegram."

"Oh?"

Hearing the telegram and the fact that it was from the First Battalion, Li Yunlong immediately became interested. He is very addicted to the telegram recently. He specially asked Zhang Dabiao to send the telegram from the First Battalion.

"Read and listen."

"The first battalion telegram: Our battalion interrupted the ambushes of a transport convoy of devils from Pan County to Ping'an County, destroyed 27 trucks, and wiped out a squadron of devils. Our battalion suffered [-] casualties, including five seriously injured and ten sacrificed."

The telegraph operator immediately read the telegram.

"Hahaha, good, good."

Li Yunlong accepted the telegram with satisfaction.

At this time, Li Yunlong was looking forward to it even more. Next month, after the arrival of the new radio station, he and Ding Wei, Kong Jie and the others sent a telegram.

"Old Lee..."

After a while, Zhao Gang walked in, intending to watch Li Yunlong's twitching.

"Old Zhao, take a look. This is a telegram from the first battalion. They just won a big victory. They not only wiped out the devil's transport convoy, but also killed a squadron of devils."

Li Yunlong couldn't wait to share the battle report with Zhao Gang, of course, mainly sharing the telegram.

"it is good."

He said yes, but Zhao Gang rolled his eyes.

He has been very helpless to Li Yunlong recently.

This dog, ever since the regiment got a telegram, it's like a child getting a toy, and it's a joy to play with. Usually, the troops take it with them when they go out for training, and then report the information to him by telegram.

If there were not so many papers in the regiment, and Boss Chen provided a lot of high-quality paper and pencils for free, he would have scolded people a long time ago.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yunlong saw from Zhao Gang's expression that something serious was going on this time.

"Devil's spy."

Zhao Gang said excitedly: "I have found two."

"Oh!"

Li Yunlong immediately lifted his spirits.

If you find a spy, you will be able to have three jumps, restore his mecha company, and even form a mecha battalion.

Of course, Captain Li still had one thing in mind.

When the road between the three regiments is repaired and the road is widened and leveled, although trucks cannot run, there is no problem with three jumpers, and the distance between the independent regiments, whether it is the new first regiment or the new second regiment, is only one hundred not in.

With three jumps and a good road, he can go to Lao Ding and Lao Kong in the morning to drop by and have a meal...
This is much more exciting than sending a telegram.

　On the importance of having a manuscript...

　　I wrote [-] more words yesterday, hahaha...
　　I saved it all.

　　change first...
