Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 514 Chapter 513, Li Yunlong, listen carefully
At the original base of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong met the comrades who were carrying radio stations.

That’s right, it was those comrades who were ordered by the boss to look for Li Yunlong who found Li Yunlong and his companions in the mountains, and they also had a radio with them.

"Li Yunlong, listen to me! Don't you like ambushes? Now stay outside the Huting stronghold and guard this passage from Licheng to Lucheng! I don't care how many Japanese soldiers will pass through your side, my order is that you must not let any of them go! If you let one go, you will be dismissed from your position! If you let two go, the kitchen will take the blame..."

An order with strong emotions reached Li Yunlong through radio waves, which made Old Li smile helplessly.

"The boss is a little angry... But fortunately, it seems that the boss is not in a bad mood..." Muttering secretly in his heart, Li Yunlong stood on a stone and shouted loudly: "Zhang Dabiao, organize the team, take all our equipment and all our ammunition, follow me, and fight!"

"Captain, shall we take everything with us? Also those shotguns? Didn't you say that shotguns are inconvenient for marching?" Zhang Dabiao asked.

"Take it with you, take it all with you. Although the shotgun is a bit clumsy and inconvenient to move when fighting the Japanese guerrillas, it is still lighter than a heavy machine gun! And this time, we are going to fight a sniper, so we must take the shotgun with us! Zhang Dabiao, I see that you have been using the semi-automatic assault rifle for too long and have forgotten that the shotgun is our ultimate weapon!"

"But commander, each of us has a gun now, and our comrades are all good at shooting. We really don't have the manpower to operate these shotguns... They are used by guerrillas and militia!" Zhang Dabiao blinked.

"Captain Li, take them with you. If you don't mind, let our Lixi District team help you fight. Although our district team is small, with only 59 people, we are not afraid of death! Moreover, we have all received military training from the military sub-district, and are very familiar with weapons such as shotguns!" At this time, Captain Gu of the Licheng West District Guerrilla Team stood up and said.

Captain Gu looked to be in his 30s or s, but he was actually only in his early s. However, he had a wealth of experience. What Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao said just now was obviously meant for him.

"Haha, good, then I'll give our 12 shotguns to your squad!" Li Yunlong looked at the soldiers of Li Xi's squad, and then said, "Your equipment is not good enough, so I'll give you 30 of the Type rifles we seized yesterday. You just write me a receipt, and I'll tell Commander Guo when the time comes!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Dabiao and said, "Zhang Dabiao, did you hear everything? Give them the shotguns and 120 shells, and give them guns, each with 50 rounds of bullets!"

"Captain, this..." Zhang Dabiao hesitated with a hint of reluctance.

"Go! What time is it? Although we are from the 386th Brigade, don't forget that the commander of the Third Division is also from our 772nd Regiment. We are all family! Just do as I say!"

"Report... Captain Li, although we are intelligence officers and signalmen, we can also shoot at the Japanese. Do you want to give us guns?" the intelligence officer asked. "It's none of your business. You just stay behind and keep the communication open at all times! Although you can shoot, your participation in the battle will not affect the outcome, but the timely communication will affect the battle! Don't worry, the Japanese will not be able to hit you!" Li Yunlong said and ignored the signalmen.

Zhang Dabiao moved quickly, handing over 12 shotguns, 120 rounds of fixed shotgun shells, and 30 Type 10 rifles to the District Squad in less than minutes. Captain Gu did not delay, and wrote a receipt in his most neat handwriting and handed it to Li Yunlong solemnly.

Although Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao had told him to lead the district squad to fight, Captain Gu didn't care at all. As a local guerrilla, even if Li Yunlong didn't say so, he was going to apply to join the war. Now, not only did he have 12 shotguns, but he also had 30 Type 1500 rifles and rounds of ammunition. He was rich!
Looking at the comrades of the District Team who couldn't stop smiling, Li Yunlong was very proud in his heart! We, Old Li, don't care about those broken guns anymore. We care about semi-automatic and assault rifles! Now we can find a reason to give the captured weapons to the District Team and make up for the equipment of the District Team. Then the District Team can develop rapidly!

Unfortunately, not all guerrilla leaders are named Zhao Danian, and not all guerrillas have a capable person like Peregrine Falcon! Otherwise, how could the devils be so arrogant? We would have fought to Taiyuan long ago!

With some emotion in his heart, Li Yunlong led the 1st Battalion of the Independent Battalion back to the original ambush position.

When they arrived at the place, there was no pre-war mobilization. Li Yunlong directly ordered: "Comrades, listen to my orders. Zhang Dabiao, you take all the personnel of the first battalion headquarters, and take the comrades of the first company and the district squad to the opposite side, and set up a position 150 meters away from the road. Remember, move quickly. When fighting, everything is based on the gunfire on my side!"

"Yes, Commander, the communications squad, the cooking squad, and the transport team of the first battalion... follow me!" Zhang Dabiao accepted the order decisively and took more than 280 soldiers, including the cooks and grooms of the first battalion, to a low slope opposite to dig fortifications on the spot. They didn't even try to hide their traces, because the Japanese in the Huting stronghold couldn't see this side at all.

However, Zhang Dabiao was not without other preparations. For example, he called the company commander to his side and asked him to dig another trench on the west side and rear of the low slope.

"Our position is just a corner, so we are digging fortifications here, and the Japanese in the Huting stronghold can't see us! But once the fight starts, the Japanese in the Huting stronghold may come out to check the situation! So, you take 50 soldiers and a heavy machine gun to guard over there for me, as our rear guard, to ensure our safety! Look, the regiment commander has also set up a position over there!"

Following where Zhang Dabiao pointed, he saw that Li Yunlong had already sent out about 80 people from the third company to rearrange the firepower points near the Huting stronghold.

This is the tacit understanding between Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong. Some things don't need to be explained clearly. Both sides know what to do! Well, this is the benefit of delegating combat autonomy to the lower levels. On the Eighth Route Army side, there will be no situation where the head of the headquarters sends a telegram to adjust the position of the machine guns...
