Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

God also seemed to feel the mentality of the independent regiment eager to replenish weapons. Two days after the end of conscription, a piece of good news came.

The militia is still training, and the intelligence network has not yet been organized. This information was sent by Brigadier Chen.

Tomorrow afternoon, an infantry squadron of two little devils will pass by the dirt road near Yangcun.

It can be seen that although Brigadier Chen said that the problem of weapons and equipment should be solved by the independent regiment, he is actually very concerned about this matter.

Otherwise, they would not send someone to send this information over.

Yangcun was on the edge of the independent regiment's defense area. Brigadier Chen could order other troops to ambush this enemy force, but in the end he chose to leave it to the independent regiment.

According to the existing fighting power of the independent regiment, it is already the limit to deal with the little devils of the two squadrons, and it may not be able to fight any more.

But once the battle is won, the equipment of the two squadrons of the little devils can replenish half a battalion for the independent regiment.

Next time, the independent regiment will be able to deal with the little devils of the three squadrons, which shows the good intentions of Brigadier Chen.

"Communication squad, notify the commanders of each unit, and rush to the regiment headquarters as quickly as possible to hold a combat meeting."

After Li Yunlong received the information, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, rushed out of the courtyard and shouted.

More than a dozen soldiers in the communication squad did not dare to delay, and hurried to the various units to convey orders.

Before dark, the commanders of the units under the Independent Regiment had assembled.

The space in the cave was too small to sit, so the venue was moved to the yard, with several kerosene lamps hung on the trees for lighting, and maps spread on the ground.

"Comrades, this is the first battle of our independent regiment since we replenished our troops. It is of great significance. We must not only win, but also fight beautifully."

Li Yunlong squatted on the edge of the map and said excitedly, surrounded by a circle of people.

"Before noon tomorrow, all troops must rush to Yangcun and enter the ambush site. Zhang Dabiao, you take a battalion to block the intersection..."

Then Li Yunlong began to make combat deployments and issue tasks to the troops.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It was the first time Qiao Lin saw Li Yunlong directing the battle, and he listened curiously beside him.

He found that Li Yunlong was a commanding military genius, and the tactics he formulated were different from those commanders who had received systematic military education, and did not strictly abide by the theoretical basis.

The thinking is unconstrained and unconstrained, and the combat tasks assigned to each unit seem to be out of order, but careful analysis reveals that there is something in it.

Ambush warfare is all about surprise, and the first wave of firepower can severely injure the enemy. General commanders will choose to concentrate heavy firepower in one place and carry out concentrated fire strikes.

But Li Yunlong did not. He divided the limited twenty machine guns of the independent regiment into three parts, and attacked the enemy from both sides and the front.

According to the conventional combat mode, in an ambush, after a heavy fire strike is carried out, the troops will charge and engage the enemy head-on.

However, Li Yunlong changed his routine and asked the troops to transport the four mountain cannons seized from Sakata Squadron to Yang Village overnight, and then use the artillery to attack after the concentrated fire attack was over.

He demanded that four mountain cannons be lined up at a distance of 30 meters every two, and fire at the same time, dividing the little devil's troops into five pieces, and then let the soldiers charge.

This tactic may seem cumbersome, but it actually ensures the safety of the soldiers of the independent regiment to the greatest extent.

From this point, it can be seen that Li Yunlong, as a commander, still values ​​the lives of his soldiers.

Li Yunlong also has a unique view on the distribution of troops.

Generally speaking, in ambush warfare, a considerable part of the troops will be reserved to pursue the enemy when they flee.

However, Li Yunlong only left two platoons of soldiers in charge of the pursuit, and spent most of his troops on besieging and charging.

Although Li Yunlong looks like a carefree and rough person, he is very serious and meticulous about combat.

A pre-war meeting was held for nearly three hours, during which more than 90.00% of the time was Li Yunlong talking.

Qiao Lin had no experience in commanding large-scale battles, and the Dark Blade he led had only over 100 men at its peak, which was equivalent to the strength of a full company.

Although the independent regiment suffered heavy losses, there were still nearly a thousand people. He did not dare to judge how to arrange troops, but he felt that Li Yunlong was really careful.

"Qiao Lin, don't sleep tonight, boy, go out with me."

After the meeting was over and the leaders of the troops were sent away, it was getting late.

Qiao Lin was about to fetch water to wash and rest, but Li Yunlong was already fully dressed and ready to go out.

"Head, it's so late, where are you going?"

Qiao Lin glanced at the moon in the sky. If it wasn't for the meeting today, Li Yunlong would be asleep at this time.

"Go to Yang Village."

Li Yunlong hung the holster on his body and fastened it, and said without raising his head.

"Now? Go to Yangcun?"

Jolin was taken aback.

The battle is expected to start tomorrow afternoon, and there are still more than ten hours left. What are you doing on the battlefield so early?

"Where is there so much nonsense? If you tell you to go, go quickly."

Li Yunlong put the hat on his head and strode out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Qiao Lin had no choice but to put down the washbasin and follow closely.

Taking two horses from the communication class, Li Yunlong flicked the whip, and the horses under his crotch ran forward quickly.

In the quiet night, the sound of horseshoes was very loud.

"Captain, just the two of us?"

After Qiao Lin chased after him on horseback, he asked very puzzled.

The two of them sneaked out in the middle of the night, how could they feel like thieves.

"Nonsense, the battle will start tomorrow afternoon, why bring the troops there so early?"

Li Yunlong said without looking back.

Qiao Lin was speechless for a while, and you know it's still early.

Yangcun was about [-] kilometers away from the regiment headquarters, and it was a night journey. Even riding a horse, it took the two of them nearly three hours to reach their destination.

At this time, it was midnight.

Compared with the regiment headquarters, Yangcun is located in a more remote location, but a dirt road in the village connects to the road at the foot of the back mountain, so passers-by often like to take a shortcut here.

The most direct benefit brought by the increase in the flow of people is to improve the economy. In those years, Yangcun once became the wealthiest village within a hundred miles.

Almost every family runs a business, whether it is a restaurant or a hotel, and the main customers are passing traders.

You don’t have to face the loess and turn your back to the sky every day to beg for harvests from the fields, and you can get a relatively prosperous life. Therefore, Yangcun once became the best choice for girls who are waiting to marry nearby to find a husband’s house.

It's just that the good times didn't last long.

After the outbreak of the war, the endless stream of vendors disappeared overnight, and the prosperity of Yangcun also disappeared.

However, this is not the end. After the little devil launched his invasion of North China, because of the proximity to the highway, the little devil's troop transport passed by Yangcun for a long time.

In the beginning, they just grabbed some money and food, but then the little devil became more and more presumptuous, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of crimes.

The men in the village were taken to work as strong men to build fortifications, while the women were humiliated, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were treated as worthless, and they were killed as soon as they were said.

There were even troops of little devils who came to Yangcun specially to kill people for fun.

Facing the knives and guns of the little devils, the common people have no power to fight back. They can only flee to other places to seek refuge except to be slaughtered.

In just half a month, Yang Village, which once had a population of tens of thousands, no longer saw a living person, and became a well-known ghost village.

The village is gone but the road is still there, so the little devil's troops often pass by Yangcun.

"Captain, what are we doing here in the middle of the night? Isn't it too early to ambush?"

Qiao Lin jumped off the horse, looked around and asked.

It's really too quiet here. Even if the nearby villages are dilapidated, there will often be the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking in the middle of the night, but it's so quiet here that you can hear the sound of the wind blowing past your ears.

"I'm not at ease here, so come here first to explore the terrain."

Li Yunlong tied his horse to a tree at the entrance of the village and walked towards the village.

"Isn't it possible, Commander, you have commanded thousands of people in battle anyway, and the little devils of two squadrons can be so nervous?"

Qiao Lin felt that Li Yunlong was a little too abnormal, so he asked puzzledly.

"Let's not talk about thousands of people, tens of thousands of people have fought battles. I was the main regiment commander in the Red Army. During an anti-encirclement campaign, the troops lost contact with the headquarters. I volunteered to command a few regiments to break through the enemy's three fronts." blockade."

When it comes to commanding battles, Li Yunlong still has a lot of proud capital.

After showing off for a while, Li Yunlong got back to the topic: "It's not that I'm nervous, but I just want to be more sure. Look at our independent regiment. Now we have recruited soldiers and uniforms. The brigade commander also specially sent us information. If this first battle is not fought beautifully, where will I put my face?"

Li Yunlong patted his face, and said: "Don't say I have no face to see the brigade commander, I am even more ashamed to see the common people in the base who send their children to join the army!"

Jolin was silent.

A veteran who has more than ten years of military experience and has commanded countless battles, he is still so cautious when facing a battle with only a few hundred little devils.

"Leader, our independent regiment will win this battle, and it will win beautifully!"

Qiao Lin looked into the distance and said firmly.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although the Anti-Japanese War started more than half a year ago, Yang Village seemed to have been deserted for a long time. There were ruins on both sides of the road, and there was not even a complete house in sight.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to carry out an ambush in such a place."

After walking a few hundred meters, Qiao Lin said thoughtfully.

Although he has never commanded a large-scale battle, he has done a lot of ambushes. This kind of tactic has very high requirements on the terrain, and it doesn't mean that you can just find a piece of land.

Although the damaged houses on both sides of the dirt road in Yangcun are good for concealment, because the road is not wide, although the soldiers of the independent regiment can hide behind these buildings, once they open fire, the enemy can find an effective cover in a short time.

In this way, the ambush would turn into a positional offensive and defensive battle. Although the independent regiment had more troops than the little devils, it was far behind in terms of firepower configuration.

If the little devil cannot be defeated in a short period of time, the independent regiment will fall into a passive and beaten situation.

"Okay, have a little vision, let's go inside and take a look."

Li Yunlong looked at Qiao Lin in surprise, but he didn't expect him to know how to read the terrain.

The area of ​​Yangcun is huge, and after walking a few kilometers along the dirt road into the village, the terrain gradually becomes complicated.
