Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Li Yunlong smiled coquettishly, and the wrinkles on his face were piled together, as bright as the bitter cauliflower in the field.

Captain Cheng sneered, "What if I didn't turn on the insurance? That's better than not wearing a belt when you were gathering in an emergency. You had to hold your pants up to finish the ten-kilometer training session."

"That's nonsense, that's not me, that's Ding Wei holding up his pants!" Li Yunlong's old face pulled, and he decisively dismissed the blame, and then he started to expose the old man again.

Just like that, Li Yunlong and Captain Cheng started talking to each other, talking about each other's embarrassing moments as recruits.

The other three group leaders did not intend to start a fight. Instead, they pulled up a long stool and started eating melon and watching the fun.

The two captains struggled for more than ten minutes before they realized that the current situation was completely inappropriate.

So they unanimously asked the other three group leaders to tell their embarrassing stories.

Of course the three group leaders didn't dare. How could their pigtails get into other people's hands?
A regiment leader ignored Li Yunlong and turned to his subordinates and said, "Everything you heard just now is confidential. I will forget it all after you leave this door. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The other two captains also issued similar orders, which gave Captain Li Yunlong and Captain Cheng some face and told them to stop pestering them.

A small episode passed quickly, and everyone once again focused their attention on Li Si.

Li Si seemed not to be affected by the two regiment leaders and began to mark the map on the command table, and now he has marked part of it.

Li Si didn't move quickly and used the intercom to confirm every place he marked.

Several people here knew about walkie-talkies and that their use was now prohibited, so they were curious about Li Si's obvious disobedience.

Captain Cheng wanted to ask, but Li Yunlong waved his hand to stop him, telling him not to interrupt.

After about half an hour, Li Si put down his pencil and looked at the group leaders, "This is the firepower configuration outside Huangya Cave."

"This firepower is equivalent to that of a brigade!" Commander Cheng said thoughtfully, casting a questioning look at Li Si.

"Time was limited, so I just marked the part I saw."

The corner of Li Yunlong's mouth twitched and he pointed at the map, "You have already surveyed such a large area."

"It's not me, there are comrades from the group who are assisting me. Well," he pointed to the sky, "They were doing reconnaissance from above."

Li Yunlong nodded, "Since it's him, I'm relieved."

"Who is this group leader?" Captain Cheng approached Li Yunlong to find out.

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Anyway, the information about his involvement is correct!"

Li Yunlong vowed to speak frankly.

Now that the conversation has come to this point, Captain Cheng can no longer ask any more questions.

Since Li Yunlong is sure of it, this information is trustworthy. During this period, the Eighth Route Army had no aerial reconnaissance force at all. The information obtained by Xu San's drone reconnaissance can be said to be a timely help and the icing on the cake, providing a basic guarantee for the four regiments to win this annihilation battle.

"This is a tough bone to crack. Even though we have the advantage in numbers, our troops are now a tired army, and they are still on the offensive side. If we are a fully prepared unit to fight the Japanese, the casualties will definitely be high."

"So we can't break through head-on. We have to carry out sneak attacks based on the enemy's weaknesses. Now that we have the Japanese troops deployed, it will be much easier to fight."

Commander Cheng walked around in front of the map, bending down from time to time, thinking from another angle, "The enemy's formation is really exquisite. Several positions can control each other, and even if we break through, they can immediately Fall back and form a line of defense again in a short time.”

Captain Cheng frowned and looked at Old Yunlong, "Old Li, do you know when they gathered?"

Li Yunlong's face didn't look good either, "At least it's been a whole day!"

"It's been a day. That simple fortification must have been repaired! This posture is just waiting for us to fight. They are waiting for work. What a beautiful idea!"

Li Yunlong agreed with Captain Cheng's analysis, "This time the Japs had a premeditated sneak attack. Even though we only see two troops now, maybe the Japs are hiding their evil in other places. We surrounded the point to call for reinforcements, and the Japs were beaten." After such a long time, I can learn a little bit.”

Li Yunlong's words reminded others, so several people began to scan the map back and forth, trying to bring into the mind of the Japanese commander, considering how much of an area a fight here would affect.

"This large area of ​​​​depth is ours. If the Japanese have reinforcements, it is impossible to appear from here, so the Japanese are most likely to come from Licheng."

Li Yunlong touched his chin, "Before the arsenal was occupied, Lao Liu and I had already transferred most of the equipment and technicians. Even if what the Japs have occupied now is an empty shell, I think the Japs must not have guessed this. The Japs are sending troops this time. It was a blow to our logistics, but they were so unlucky that I, Lao Li, discovered some clues.”

"According to what Lao Li said, the Japanese strategic objectives were not achieved. Normally, they should retreat, but why are they still occupying Huangya Cave?" a regimental leader asked.

After hearing this, several regiment leaders began to scan the map and speculate on the Japanese strategic purpose.

For a moment, the command headquarters fell into silence.

In the silence, Li Si suddenly spoke, "Commanders, you are very powerful in fighting, and you may not understand officialdom. I think the Japanese who occupied Huangyadong may be stalling for time."

"What's the delay? What does this have to do with officialdom?" Li Yunlong asked.

"The old Huangyadong arsenal had almost no defenders, so it was easily defeated. It was defeated so easily, and the credit was very small. But if you delay it for a day or two, and then casually kill some civilians as the Eighth Route Army, it won't be enough. Can we exaggerate our military achievements?"

Li Si's words awakened everyone, and suddenly they felt that they thought too highly of the Japanese. At the same time, they also felt that they thought the problem was too complicated.

Besides, the nearly 2,000 Japanese troops are now pinned in the mountains of Huangyadong, which really puts a chokehold on the Eighth Route Army, so they must be pulled out!
After figuring out the link, several regiment leaders quickly formulated a combat plan and drafted a message and sent it to the headquarters.

At night, the headquarters called back and agreed to the battle plan.

Surrounding the mountains of Huangya Cave, four regiments totaling 3,000 troops were hidden in it like a goddess scattering flowers.

Within the headquarters, the five regiment commanders were still seriously discussing possible battle situations.

Li Si was listening carefully next to him. Although he had strong individual skills, he was just an ordinary soldier. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to absorb the command experience of thousands of people.

Not only did he absorb a lot of experience, he also absorbed Xu San who was eavesdropping. (End of chapter)
