Chapter 59 Confrontation (Fifth update, please order first)
Outside Chencun stronghold.

"Zhu Zi, have you figured out where to start?" Hiding in a bush 300 meters away from the Japanese artillery tower, Li Yunlong carefully observed Chen Cun's artillery tower and whispered to Wang Chengzhu beside him.

"Captain, it's not easy to do it during the day. Everything here is bare and there is no shelter. It's okay for people to sneak in through the bushes, but if they want to get up and dig a hole, it's impossible not to be discovered." Wang Chengzhu responded in a low voice.

"It's not possible during the day. Can you aim at the artillery tower at night?" Li Yunlong also knew that it was difficult during the day, but it was pitch black at night. If he wanted to aim at the artillery tower more than 200 meters away, he could only rely on Wang Chengzhu's thumb aiming technique. At night, he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Captain, I can try to choose the location for digging the pit during the day, and then wait until night to dig. Anyway, our artillery can adjust the firing distance, and we can always hit it after adjusting it a few times within the 30-meter range." Wang Chengzhu said confidently.

"At night, Commander, you lead your men to make a feint to the east and attack to the west, blinding the Japanese searchlights, and I will lead my men to bury the artillery!"

"You are really a talented person! Not bad, not bad, you can even use strategies." Li Yunlong scolded with a smile, "Then choose your gun position carefully, I'm going to go back and rest."

Li Yunlong was not in a hurry. For him, it was normal to fight for two or three days.

When Li Yunlong retreated back to the hiding place of the main group, he saw Zhang Dabiao observing the situation in the distance of the road.

"Da Biao, what's the situation with the Japanese in the city? Why didn't they send any troops to reinforce the Lizhuang stronghold this time?" Li Yunlong asked casually.

"Captain, we acted too quickly. The Japs probably haven't grasped the situation yet. We just killed their reconnaissance team on the road, so it's unlikely they would react so quickly." Zhang Dabiao put his hat on and said to Li Yunlong.

"I guess the Japs in Chencun must have reported the news, but the noise in Lizhuang must have frightened them. Our 5kg explosive packs are almost as powerful as heavy artillery. The Japs won't dare to come out easily if they don't understand the situation. Maybe they are afraid that we will attack the city."

"Well, that's good. Da Biao, you have learned to use your brain now. Zhuzi wants to make a feint to the east and attack in the west at night. Do you think that when we attack the Chencun stronghold, the Japanese in the city will come to reinforce us?" Li Yunlong nodded, looked at Zhang Dabiao with satisfaction and asked.

"Look, the Chencun stronghold is only seven or eight kilometers away from the city. If the Japanese run here, it will take about an hour to get there. The Chencun stronghold is an important stronghold of the Japanese. It is impossible for him not to rescue it."

"Captain, you are right, but with the power of our current conscienceless cannon, our battle will take less than an hour, right?" After Zhang Dabiao witnessed the power of the conscienceless cannon with his own eyes, he was quite confident in Wang Chengzhu.

"It doesn't take time to dig a hole? Da Biao, although you have some brains now, it's not much." Li Yunlong shook his head, "We must find a way to contain the Japanese in the county."

"But Commander, we only have so few people. If we divide our forces further, I'm afraid we won't be able to take Chencun." Zhang Dabiao scratched his head and said. The conscienceless cannon can destroy the Japanese artillery tower, but it cannot be relied on to complete the final battle.

How come there are still more than a hundred puppet soldiers on the ground? If we don’t destroy one artillery tower without seizing any spoils, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
"No need to divide the troops. I'll take a few people to the county town and fire two shots at the city wall. I think the Japanese won't dare to move." Li Yunlong smiled and came up with a bold idea.

Zhang Dabiao was shocked, "Captain, you can't do this. Even if we have to go, I'll go." "Am I the commander or are you? What bullshit, cooperate with Zhuzi and capture Chencun for me, move all the spoils back and hide them, don't let the brigade commander find out." Li Yunlong glared, "Take people to the northeast corner at night. There is a small earthen slope. After destroying the Japanese searchlight, set up the machine gun there to attract fire. Wait for Zhuzi to destroy the artillery tower, and you can take over the stronghold."

"Li Yunlong did a great job. With more than a hundred guns and so many prisoners, he directly destroyed a Japanese stronghold. Well, Kong Jie, what are you going to do with these spoils?" When the brigade commander saw the soldiers of the independent regiment escorting the prisoners and spoils back, he said to Kong Jie with a smile.

Kong Jie was in tears. He was caught red-handed by the brigade commander this time. What else could he do?
Just as he was about to say something, Ren Zhong beside him interrupted and said, "Brigade Commander, the independent regiment is too weak to take care of the current assets. It's not easy for Lao Li and Lao Kong to earn some spoils now. The first battalion still has some combat power, but it's not much. In an encounter, it's hard to defeat a small Japanese squadron. Brigade Commander, you should let Lao Li and Lao Kong save some assets."

Since Ren Zhong didn't want to go to the headquarters, he naturally had to help Lao Li build up his strength. Ren Zhong wanted to stop the brigade commander's habit of congratulating Lao Li on his wealth.

Anyway, he is a guest and his words are more effective than Kong Jie's.

"Boss Ren, it seems that you have a good relationship with Li Yunlong." The brigade commander didn't expect Ren Zhong to jump out and speak, but he blocked his mouth. "If the independent regiment can't hold on, don't we still have the headquarters? How about Boss Ren go to the headquarters for me?"

The brigade commander took this opportunity to test the waters.

"No, Brigade Commander, I don't have that much ability, so I'll just follow Lao Li for a while." Ren Zhong shook his head and said quickly and firmly, "Following the Independent Regiment, I feel I am still somewhat useful. If I go somewhere else, I may not be able to accomplish anything. It's better for me to go back and do some small business."

This was a bit harsh, but the brigade commander could understand Ren Zhong's ambitions by listening to the gongs and the sounds. "Haha, you're worrying, Boss Ren. We are free to come and go here. If Boss Ren wants to stay with the independent regiment, that's fine. We can fight the Japanese wherever we are."

Kong Jie was standing aside, and he felt a little nervous when he heard what these two people said.

He was the one who had really suffered enough from Ren Zhong, and only now did he realize how important Ren Zhong was to the Independent Regiment. Seeing the brigade commander poaching people in front of him, Kong Jie was unable to stop it.

Fortunately, Ren Zhong was determined and pushed the brigade commander back. In just a few minutes, Kong Jie felt that he was sweating on his vest in the cold weather.

"Kong Jie, since Boss Ren has spoken, the captured weapons will be left to your independent regiment for development. However, as the arsenal develops, you must not forget the brother troops, especially that conscienceless cannon. I don't want more. Within three months, you must make me 20 of them. They will be of great use to me."

"Brigade Commander, your request is too high. We searched many villages near the base and only found a few gasoline barrels. We really can't get 20." Kong Jie heard the brigade commander's exorbitant request and spoke quickly.

"I can help you find a way to deal with the gasoline barrels, but as for the modifications and explosive packs, your independent regiment has to find a way to equip them. For each unscrupulous cannon, provide me with at least five explosive packs!" the brigade commander said decisively.
