He also took out half of the bullets and gave them to the soldiers to practice marksmanship.
Each rifleman must have 50 rounds of training ammunition, the machine gunner must have 500 rounds of training ammunition, and the submachine gunner must have 500 rounds of training ammunition.
Li Yunlong took out almost 200,000 rounds of training bullets alone.
After so much ammunition was consumed, if Chen Feng didn't replenish the ammunition if he didn't get it done in the end, wouldn't Li Yunlong lose money to the Muggles?
Therefore, Li Yunlong was very concerned about killing the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment. Even if he could not kill the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment, he would at least kill the commander of the squadron, Kuroshima Morita.
After arranging the training mission, Li Yunlong personally led the cavalry company to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Qixian County.
Although the target of the cavalry is relatively large, it is not a big problem as long as it is not close to the county seat. After all, except for the county seat, it is almost a guerrilla zone.
In the dead of night, Li Yunlong led his cavalry company towards Qi County without disturbing anyone.
They were careful while walking on the mountain road, but when they reached the main road, everyone started galloping on their horses.
The road was particularly quiet at night, and night birds were frightened from time to time on the roadside. However, the soldiers rode well-trained military horses, and they were not frightened at all and ran very steadily.
When daylight was about to break, Li Yunlong finally led his cavalry company to the Qixian area, and then began to conduct reconnaissance.
Li Yunlong was lucky. After just one morning of reconnaissance, he discovered a terrain that satisfied him.
Lying on a hilltop, he said, "God is trying to make us, Lao Li, rich. Sun Desheng, what do you think of that terrain?"
Sun Desheng took the Zeiss telescope from Li Yunlong and looked in the direction Li Yunlong pointed.
Through the field of view of the telescope, Sun Desheng saw that the place Li Yunlong pointed to was a larger basin, similar to a pasture.
There are slopes on both sides of the basin, and the slopes are covered with dense forests. There are also forests at the end of the basin.
This place is equivalent to a gourd that has been cut in half. Only the entrance and exit can enter. Once you enter, you will become a turtle in a urn.
Li Yunlong said: "Light and heavy machine guns are lying in ambush in the woods. Wait until all the Japanese cavalry enter the encirclement, and then they will open fire together."
"No, Commander." Sun Desheng said worriedly, "According to the intelligence, the Black Island Cavalry Regiment has a cavalry artillery squadron, equipped with all 90mm mortars. What if the Japanese artillery is going to fire arson bombs and poison gas bombs into the forest?"
Li Yunlong's face froze when he heard this.
Gas bombs are okay. Last time they ambush a Kwantung Army transport team, more than a thousand gas masks were seized.
If the Japanese artillery fired arson bombs, all the machine gunners in the woods would be burned to death.
Li Yunlong would not fight a battle in which he would kill a thousand enemies and lose a thousand himself. It would be a loss-making business.
"I can't tell, but your brain is pretty good." Li Yunlong nodded, "This can be used as an alternative terrain."
In order to be prepared for Japanese arson bombs, Li Yunlong could wait for rainy days before taking action, so that even if arson bombs were fired, the forest would not burn.
However, there is little rain in the north, and Li Yunlong doesn't know which day it will rain or which day it won't.
Li Yunlong said: "Let's go and take a look further."
…
Two hours later, Sun Desheng lay on the top of the mountain, looking through the field of telescope at the county seat a few kilometers away and said: "Captain, if we go further, we will reach the county seat."
The main force of the cavalry company did not follow because it was too close to the county seat and could easily be exposed, but the cavalry company was ready to respond at any time.
Li Yunlong was as steady as an old dog: "I'm not even panicking, why are you panicking?"
Sun Desheng muttered: "Don't panic. If something happens to you, the political commissar will have to shoot me when you get back."
Li Yunlong didn't hear what Sun Desheng said. He looked at the horses in the Japanese horse farm outside the county wall and was so envious that he almost drooled.
What a fine military horse, but it was wasted in the hands of the Japanese.
Sooner or later, these troops and horses will have the surname Li!
Li Yunlong asked: "Sun Desheng, do you want to be the commander of the cavalry battalion?"
"Would never dream of it."
With a smile, Sun Desheng said: "But our brigade doesn't have a cavalry battalion. I'm afraid the brigade commander won't let you form a cavalry battalion. He will definitely rob our new regiment of cavalry."
"How dare he, brigadier!" Li Yunlong stared, "If brigade commander dares to rob my army and horses, see if I don't fight with him!"
Sun Desheng said: "If you want me to be the cavalry battalion commander, then I will be."
Suddenly, Sun Desheng's expression changed, he pointed in the direction of the county seat and said: "Commander, look, it seems that a group of Japanese cavalry has come out."
Li Yunlong quickly raised his binoculars and looked over, and sure enough he saw a small group of Japanese cavalry coming out of the racecourse.
As the horse's hooves rolled, smoke and dust quickly rose.
Li Yunlong observed while saying: "There are about 80 riders, and they seem to be heading towards the Huting stronghold."
After a pause, Li Yunlong turned around and asked: "Sun Desheng, let me ask you a question, what are the chances of your cavalry company winning against these 80 or so Japanese cavalry?"
"If it's an encounter, the odds of winning are 50-50," Sun Desheng said. "If it's an ambush, we can kill half of the Japs with light machine guns first, and then rush in for a hand-to-hand fight. There's at least an 80% chance of winning."
What Sun Desheng said was somewhat conservative. Before joining the Eighth Route Army, he led his cavalry to compete with the Japanese cavalry and did not gain any advantage in the hands of the Japanese.
Although Li Yunlong looked down upon the Japanese cavalry, Sun Desheng knew that the Japanese cavalry still had two skills.
However, the cavalry company now has 8 Czech light machine guns, which can at least double its combat effectiveness.
Li Yunlong looked cold and stern: "Okay, let's take a small road to the Huting stronghold and meet these Japanese cavalry."
…
About an hour later.
Li Yunlong led his cavalry company and rushed from the alley to the Huting stronghold.
Ordering the soldiers and horses to hide in the woods, Li Yunlong and Sun Desheng approached the Huting stronghold to conduct reconnaissance.
The two of them were lying on the back of the slope, looking through the telescope, they saw that the originally destroyed Huting stronghold had been rebuilt.
Moreover, the bunkers and turrets are not the original masonry structures, but reinforced concrete.
As for how thick it is and whether armor-piercing projectiles from field artillery can destroy it, Li Yunlong has not yet been able to determine.
However, the Japs' barracks are still made of masonry. With the Japs' resources, there is no way to make all the buildings in the stronghold into reinforced concrete.
Li Yunlong had long expected that the main route into the base area was guarded here, and the Japanese army would not give up this stronghold easily. It was only a matter of time before it could be rebuilt.
Looking closely again, the Japanese soldiers had left all their troops and horses outside the stronghold.
Li Yunlong wondered: "This group of Japanese cavalry is here to defend the Huting stronghold? What is the use of the cavalry in defending the stronghold?"
Sun Desheng said firmly: "Definitely not."
Li Yunlong then asked: "How do you know it's not the case?"
Sun Desheng said: "Commander, you see, there are already infantry in the stronghold, and there are no stables built inside or outside the stronghold, so I can conclude that this group of Japanese cavalry came through the door and will definitely return to the county seat before dark."
When Li Yunlong heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and said in a gloomy tone: "Let's wait for them halfway up the road."
