Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 916 Night

Late at night, about two thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers, organized in platoons, quietly sneaked into the mountains and forests under the moonlight.

In the moonlight sky, clouds fluttered gently, sometimes covering the moon, and sometimes letting the moonlight shine through the gaps in the clouds. The trees cast mottled shadows under the moonlight, providing natural cover for the troops.

The soldiers' bodies were covered with grass roots and branches, and their faces were painted with camouflage pot ash, blending in with the surrounding environment.

Their movements were light and skillful, taking every step carefully to avoid making any noise that might reveal their position.

The clouds were constantly changing under the blow of the wind, and the moon was appearing and disappearing, which made it difficult for the Eighth Route Army to sneak in. However, each row was led by soldiers from the woods and jungles. With their rich experience, they opened up new paths for the soldiers behind them. Road, obstacles to remove obstacles.

The night wind blew slowly and was slightly cool, and the soldiers entered the target location without any danger.

The moonlight became brighter and brighter, and the clouds gradually dispersed. The figures of the soldiers became clearer and clearer under the moonlight.

Captain Cheng, who was leading the team, lay firmly on the ground and did not dare to move.

Only after there was a crunch of footsteps above his head did he dare to take a breath.

As soon as he took a breath, he saw Li Yunlong crawling to his side like a maggot through the moonlight.

Captain Cheng's mouth trembled and his eyelids twitched.

Although he and Li Yunlong quarreled and exposed each other's shortcomings, they were old comrades in the Red Army. Although their relationship was not as strong as the iron triangle, their revolutionary feelings were not in vain.

Originally it was Captain Cheng who led his first battalion in the main attack, but Li Yunlong insisted on following, and even more so, he stalked and beat the shameless Sapo to death.

In order not to embarrass the old troops, Commander Cheng could only carry this shameless thing with him.

Originally, Captain Cheng was placed at the back by Li Yunlong to hold down the position, but he didn't expect that this old boy would take advantage of the Japanese patrol to touch him.

Having been comrades for many years, he naturally knew what Li Yunlong wanted to do when he came here.

This kid was sent to the arsenal, probably because he wanted to show his face in this battle so that the leader could take a good look at him, so that he could find an excuse to return to the independent regiment.

"Blind man, I want to discuss something with you?" Li Yunlong approached Captain Cheng and whispered.

"No!" Captain Cheng refused without thinking. Li Yunlong has many bad intentions and will fall into his trap accidentally.

"I haven't said anything yet, so you say no. You know what I'm saying. Maybe I want to give you a 92-gun."

Li Yunlong's words really moved Commander Cheng. His regiment also only had one 92 artillery piece, and it only had five shells. It was a precious thing, and he couldn't bear to pull it unless it was too hard to chew. come out.

"I know your independent regiment is rich and has artillery! But you are in the arsenal now! Don't even think about the things in the arsenal, especially big things like the 92nd Artillery!" Captain Cheng reminded Li Yunlong not to make mistakes.

Li Yunlong curled his lips disdainfully, "I'm just talking about the Independent Regiment. Before I broke through, I buried two gates. I'll tell you the place. Whether you can find it or not depends on your luck."

Li Yunlong spoke mysteriously, looking like a liar selling Dali Pills under the overpass.

Captain Cheng stared at Li Yunlong for a long time but couldn't tell whether what Li Yunlong said was true or false.

"You don't believe me, Lao Li?"

"I believe you, old Li! With your tough personality, how can you be willing to shoot two cannons?" "Two small cannons are nothing. The 150-caliber mountain cannon will be blown up if I tell you." Li Yunlong said proudly, Both the tone and demeanor are full of Versailles.

"That belongs to the Independent Regiment, not you, Li Yunlong! You are just the director of the arsenal now and have nothing to do with the Independent Regiment!" Captain Cheng said sourly.

"If it's buried in the ground, it doesn't belong to the Independent Regiment anymore! Whoever digs it up is the one who owns it!" Li Yunlong said bachelorly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~~" Captain Cheng smacked his mouth, "Come on, tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Let me take command of the battle in a while. If your eyesight is not good, just go to the back and smoke a few puffs of cigarettes and have a good rest." Li Yunlong said, taking out half a bag and stuffing it into Commander Cheng's hand.

Putting away his cigarette, Captain Cheng said with a smile, "Haha, no!"

Looking at the half-packed pack of cigarettes, Li Yunlong became furious, "You blind man Cheng, you took my cigarettes and didn't do anything for me, right?"

"I won't do anything, what the hell!" Commander Cheng raised his face, looking like you're going to hit me.

"Okay! You blind man Cheng has the guts!" Li Yunlong growled, looking like a doormat, "You really don't want the 92nd Cannon?"

Captain Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "There should be artillery, but I'm really skeptical about whether it can be used."

"It can definitely be used, and these two cannons have made great military exploits with the Independent Regiment!" Li Yunlong said seriously, putting away his smile.

Commander Cheng shook his head, "It's impossible to give you command. It's not that I look down on you, Li Yunlong. You can't command my troops!"

"Then just settle for the next best thing. Give me a face and I'll listen to your orders!" Li Yunlong continued to say aggrievedly.

"Do you really obey the command? You dare to disobey the brigade commander's military orders, let alone me, a little regiment commander!"

Li Yunlong, who had been serious just now, instantly changed his face to a flattering one, "Actually, I have a plan. If you give me a company, I guarantee that your main attack losses will be reduced by half."

The temptation to reduce battle losses is very strong.

After Commander Cheng's troops experienced the first and second phases of the Hundred Regiment War, the losses of the troops could be said to be very heavy.

Now there are less than a thousand people in total.

This time he personally led the first battalion.

This first battalion is his main force, and there are dozens of veterans in it.

These dozens of veterans were his darlings, and he would feel bad for a long time even if they sacrificed even one of them.

Now that Li Yunlong said it could reduce battle losses, how could he not be tempted?
However, he still had to pretend to save face, "Well, Li Yunlong, you have learned to play tricks, right? Why didn't you say anything during the combat meeting?"

"There is an error between the map and the actual terrain. I just thought of it."

Li Yunlong said duplicitously. In fact, he had already had a plan. He had already roughly figured out the terrain around Huangya Cave when I first arrived. When Li Si marked the enemy's troop allocation, he had basically completed it in his mind. made a battle plan.

As an old comrade who knows the truth, Captain Cheng has basically believed in Li Yunlong now, but he will not let go of the rabbit before he sees it. "Then tell me what you plan to do! I will decide whether to give him to you or not!"
