The brigade commander and deputy brigade commander Han were gathering together to read the intelligence about the battle in Qixian County.
This information was sent by the Eighth Route Army’s underground party stationed in Qixian County.
However, the information was not very detailed, and the specific battle process was not mentioned.
The intelligence only said that a small group of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared and occupied the south wall of the county seat, killing and wounding more than 300 puppet troops within two hours.
Then the main force arrived, and the Japanese and puppet troops were defeated and fled the county through the north gate.
As for the battles at Yelangyu, Jianshantsui and Dawanggou, the brigade commander did not receive any information about this. He only knew that the Black Island Regiment had been completely wiped out.
The brigade commander knew that Li Yunlong was causing trouble in Qixian County, so he sent out the two main groups of 771 and 772 in advance to help Li Yunlong stop the attack.
As a result, Li Yunlong's side acted too quickly. Before the blocking troops could engage in combat with the Japanese, he was already done, and the Japanese's reinforcements withdrew.
"That guy Li Yunlong," the brigade commander laughed, "not only did he eat up the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, but he also hunted rabbits and defeated the county seat!"
"Yeah, it's really not easy." Deputy Brigadier Han sighed, "It's already a miracle that the new regiment can completely wipe out the Black Island Cavalry Regiment. I didn't expect that he could capture the county seat. I really didn't expect that.
It’s not that our Eighth Route Army doesn’t have the strength to defend the city now, just recapturing the county seat would be a great achievement.”
"Recovering the county town will happen sooner or later." The brigade commander snorted coldly.
Deputy Brigadier Han wondered.
"But this intelligence said that a small group of Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appeared and occupied the south wall of the county town, killing more than 300 Japanese puppet troops. What is this situation?"
"Look, Brigadier, the intelligence also said that the Japanese were so angry that they used the people in the city as human shields, but they were still neutralized by this small force."
"With an absolutely weak force, more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops were killed within two hours. It seems that this small force is not simple."
Suddenly, Deputy Brigadier Han seemed to have thought of something: "Is this small unit the same sharp sword special unit that Li Yunlong created some time ago?"
After the establishment of the Sharp Sword Special Forces, Li Yunlong reported it to the brigade headquarters and applied for a company-level establishment, so both the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander Han knew about it.
Moreover, Li Yunlong recruited the best soldiers from several regiments within the 386th Brigade some time ago. This was the backdoor opened by the brigade commander for Li Yunlong.
"It must be the Sharp Sword Special Forces." The brigade commander nodded, "Don't tell me, he really made a different unit."
Whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the Red Army, the most elite units are usually the sharp knife company, the spy company, and the assault company.
The brigade commander knew that Li Yunlong's unit was different from these elite companies in that it had a smaller number of soldiers. Its members were the best soldiers selected from each regiment, but their equipment was first-rate.
As for training...the brigade commander didn't know how Li Yunlong trained his special forces.
Deputy Brigadier Han wondered again: "The question is, how did the Sharp Sword Special Forces suddenly appear and capture the city wall in a very short period of time?"
"There are strongholds and gun towers outside the city, Japanese sentries at the city gates, and Japanese and puppet troops guarding the city walls."
"Did they fly over from the sky or tunnel into the city?"
"Old Han, have you forgotten?" the brigade commander asked, "a few days ago, Li Yunlong sent the Japanese's clothes to the quilt factory for repair?"
Deputy Brigadier Han suddenly realized: "This makes sense."
Not only Deputy Brigadier Han, but also the brigade commander was impressed by Li Yunlong's strange move of using a small group of elite troops to occupy the south city wall and capture the county seat.
Ding ding ding——
The phone on the table rang.
"It's probably Li Yunlong who called." Deputy Brigadier Han said with a smile.
The brigade commander took a sip of water and then picked up the phone and put it to his ear: "Hello!"
"Brigadier, it's me!" a loud voice said, "Li Yunlong!"
The brigade commander quickly moved the microphone away to avoid deafening his ears.
"Why are you so loud?" the brigade commander asked angrily, "It sounds like you have a damn loud voice, doesn't it?"
Li Yunlong's voice suddenly became softer: "Haha, Brigadier, I'm rich again!"
"I know you've made a fortune." The brigade commander raised his lips, "How much benefit did you get from killing the Black Island Alliance this time?"
Li Yunlong said.
"Not too much, not too much, just so-so."
"There are only about 20 light and heavy machine guns."
"More than 800 rifles and rifles."
"More than 800 cavalry swords."
"About 100,000 bullets."
"More than 300 military horses were seized."
"More than 640 horses, most of which have been handed over to the headquarters."
"There are only five or six Zuoguan knives."
"..."
Listening to Li Yunlong's report of the seizure of numerous treasures, the corners of the mouths of the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander Han became wider and wider.
After Li Yunlong finished reporting, the brigade commander said.
"That's not right, Li Yunlong."
"How did I hear that after you killed the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, you also hunted rabbits and took the county seat of Qixian County?"
"The arms storage warehouse of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment in the county has a lot of ammunition, right?"
"There is also a grain depot in the county town, which has a lot of food in reserve. Now it's all in your pocket, right?"
"Tell me honestly, how many benefits did you gain after taking the county seat?"
Li Yunlong was shocked. He had just returned from work and had a nap, but the brigade commander actually knew everything.
Is it a stupid labor report, or is it the brigade commander's intelligence work that is so awesome?
However, when I thought about it, even the headquarters knew about it, and it was reasonable for the brigade commander to know.
At that moment, Li Yunlong did not dare to hide anything anymore and reported all the seizures.
After listening to this, the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander Han's eyes lit up like light bulbs, and the corners of their mouths also turned up.
The brigade commander smiled and said: "Li Yunlong, the captured military horses this time, plus your original military horses, are more than enough to form a cavalry regiment, not to mention a cavalry battalion. You kid has got so many benefits and still hides them."
Come on, do you want to kill first and then show off, and form a cavalry regiment?"
The more than 500 military horses captured this time, plus the more than 60 horses seized during the last reconnaissance, plus the original 100 military horses, now the new regiment has almost 700 military horses.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The brigade commander is right, a cavalry regiment is indeed more than enough.
"No way." Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "Brigade commander, you know me, I am just an infantryman, but I cannot be the commander of a cavalry regiment."
Li Yunlong wanted to create a cavalry regiment, which of course had the largest number of cavalry battalions in name and designation.
He estimated that a cavalry regiment of about 700 riders, equipped with a Yunlong sword and a Type 44 rifle, would have a combat effectiveness comparable to that of a cavalry division.
In fact, Li Yunlong still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the cavalry regiment equipped with the Yunlong Sword.
At that time, the New Fourth Army Cavalry Regiment, equipped with the Xuefeng Sword, completely annihilated Ma Bufang's 8th Cavalry Division with a single cavalry regiment, avenging the blood revenge of the Japanese Incident.
However, given the current situation of the new regiment, it cannot afford to feed a cavalry regiment. The food needed to feed a cavalry regiment is enough to feed two or three infantry regiments.
At present, the entire Eighth Route Army has only one cavalry regiment, the Jinan Cavalry Regiment. It was originally the 129th Division Cavalry Battalion, and was later expanded into a cavalry regiment. In the autumn of 1938, it was transferred to the Jinan Military Region.
"You know you can't be the commander of the cavalry regiment." The brigade commander snorted, "Save enough horse equipment for a cavalry battalion, and send me the remaining horse equipment to the brigade headquarters."
"Brigadier, that's actually what I planned. I called just to tell you about this." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "If you don't speak up, I will send the extra horses and equipment to you after the inventory is completed."
To the brigade headquarters."
"Really?" The brigade commander's tone was obviously disbelieving, "If I didn't ask you about the battle in the county, are you going to hide the more than 200 horses in the county?"
"No, no," Li Yunlong said, "Absolutely not. Besides, the first thing you asked me, brigade commander, was, how much benefit did you get from killing the Black Island Cavalry Regiment?"
The brigade commander asked: "The captured weapons and ammunition..."
"After counting, two-thirds of the weapons and ammunition seized were handed over to the brigade headquarters." Li Yunlong said, "Two 90mm mortars and more than 4,000 rounds of 90mm artillery shells were all handed over."
"When it's time to send the horse equipment to the brigade headquarters, let the military horses take it with them."
"Oh?" the brigade commander said in surprise, "You are so proactive this time. Is there a big fortune behind you?"
"Hey, there are not so many good things." Li Yunlong tensed up and quickly explained, "The main reason is that our new group has been living a decent life recently."
"It seems that you are really strong-willed. Now you have really become a wealthy landlord." The brigade commander said happily, "Good guy, I, the brigade commander, have become your tenant farmer."
Li Yunlong said: "Brigade Commander, judging from what you said, our new regiment is not from the 386th Brigade?"
"Aren't our new regiments all on the 386th Brigade establishment list?"
"Oh?" the brigade commander said with a surprised smile, "How come your kid's ideological consciousness has improved so much?"
Li Yunlong said: "Brigadier, I don't like to hear what you are saying. When has our old Li's ideological consciousness ever been so low?"
"Don't talk about useless things. Don't I understand you?" the brigade commander laughed. "After the weapons, equipment and horses are inventoried, send someone to the brigade headquarters. Also, report the detailed battle history in writing as soon as possible.
, so that I can ask the division and headquarters for credit for you and the new regiment."
"Thank you, brigade commander." Li Yunlong said, "I will send someone to deliver the horses and equipment to the brigade headquarters tomorrow."
The brigade commander said: "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Li Yunlong said hurriedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, brigade commander, I have something else to do."
Brigadier: "If there is anything else, please tell me..."
Li Yunlong then said: "Brigade commander, look at how many horses, weapons and ammunition our new regiment has handed over this time. It is more than enough to equip a cavalry battalion and a basic regiment with weapons and ammunition, so I think..."
