In the early morning of the 20th, Lijiazuo Village.
The cooking team of the new regiment got up early and called the regiment headquarters for more than a dozen helpers. Twenty or so people were frying dry food.
"Add more salt, otherwise the comrades will lose their strength after eating it!" said the cooking squad leader of the new regiment.
The soldiers of the new regiment were also making pre-war preparations and once again counting the bullets they carried. The bullets had been distributed long before they came to Lijiazuo Village.
Li Yunlong also spent a lot of money on this battle, and spent more than half of the materials captured previously.
Cadres at all levels in the new regiment who use short guns are issued 60 rounds of pistol ammunition.
Soldiers who are issued rifles are issued 20-30 rounds of rifle ammunition.
The light and heavy machine guns are even issued with two base numbers of bullets.
Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong was wearing leggings, and his sidearm was placed on the table, with three magazines filled with bullets.
"Lao Luo, once the fight starts on my side, all the pressure will be on your side. There is no need to fight to the death with the reinforcements of the little Japanese. I will try my best to resolve the battle within an hour!" Li Yunlong said.
Li Yunlong dared to boast that he could finish off the soldiers in Haikou within an hour because the new regiment had replaced their guns with cannons.
The New Regiment now has an artillery company, a Type 92 infantry gun, and two Type 97 90mm mortars, which the New Regiment had before the Battle of Tainan.
In the Battle of Tainan, four 82 mortars were captured on the battlefield, and Zhou Weihan later distributed two to the new regiment.
At this point, Li Yunlong started to tremble all of a sudden and spoke very forcefully.
"I understand, but you should not rush to the front line as soon as the gun is fired. You must understand that you are the commander, and the entire regiment of 2,600 people is pointing at you as the regiment leader!" Luo Benzhong took the trouble to persuade.
"Hey, I understand, I understand!" Li Yunlong now also knows the political commissar's temper. He never contradicts Luo Benzhong on this kind of matter, but he said it in his mouth, but he shouldn't do it at all.
"Huzi, please keep an eye on the captain!" Luo Benzhong said to Huzi.
Huzi had a bitter look on his face and thought to himself, can I stop this damn captain? When the gun went off, he charged harder than anyone else.
...
Handan Chang Highway, a mountainous area between Licheng and Lucheng.
Li Yunlong led the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion and the regiment-affiliated team of the New Regiment to attack and ambush more than a thousand people here. In addition, there were also local comrades leading some militiamen and young men to prepare to transport supplies.
This is not a perfect place for an ambush. The Japs are also thieves. The strongholds built along the Handan-Chang Highway are very particular.
In addition to being a major transportation thoroughfare, the terrain along the route was specially surveyed before building strongholds, so many strongholds were built near locations suitable for ambush.
At this time, Li Yunlong was inspecting the positions of each battalion. The first and second battalions were the main forces of the ambush, and Li Yunlong arranged them on the hills on both sides of the road.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the artillery company's position.
"Zhuzi, this battle depends on your artillery company, but you have to hold on tight. If you blow up my supplies, I won't let you go!" Li Yunlong said loudly.
"Commander, don't worry, I know it well!" Wang Chengzhu, already the commander of the artillery company, said with a smile.
"Commander, how many rounds can our company fire in this ambush battle?" Wang Chengzhu asked hesitantly.
"Hey, I know you have to ask. Except for the Type 92 infantry cannon, I can shoot the rest. Speaking of which, the artillery and shells of our new regiment are all due to Zhou Weihan's credit.
You are really capable, you can actually do business with little devils!" As Li Yulan said, she suddenly felt that it would not be a loss to give 20% of the captured items to the independent detachment.
"That's right, this time I went to the brigade headquarters, and Director Song from the Munitions Department gave me 20 rounds of Type 92 infantry cannon shells and 60 Type 97 90mm mortar shells!" When this was mentioned, Wang Chengzhu's
The mouth opened again.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If your artillery company does well in this battle, I will treat you to a big drink later and kill the big fat pig in the cooking team. That's enough!" Li Yunlong made a promise in advance.
"yes!"
From the time the sun was high in the sky to the time the sun set, there was no movement at all on the Japanese army's highway.
Li Yunlong held dry food in one hand and a kettle in the other, feeling a little irritable.
"Comrade, the comrades from the cavalry platoon are here!" Huzi on the side pointed at a soldier galloping on the road and said.
After hearing this, Li Yunlong turned over and said: "Haha, great, hurry up, let the soldiers prepare for battle!"
Then he picked up the dry food that had just fallen on the ground, wiped the soil on it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The cavalry platoon soldiers who came to report the news disappeared into the forest on the roadside in the blink of an eye. The new regiment of soldiers ambushing on both sides pulled the bolts of their rifles and prepared to attack.
Soon, there was a roar of trucks, and more than twenty Japanese trucks came. The ground where the trucks passed seemed to be filled with yellow smoke.
"One, two... Captain, we have made a fortune, we have twenty-six trucks! How much material do we need to capture?" Huzi counted the number of Japanese trucks, and he was so happy that he couldn't help it.
Ear your lips.
The Japanese transport convoys that the New Regiment ambushed all the time were transporting supplies to various strongholds below. There were only three or five trucks that could reach the sky. How had I ever seen such a big scene?
"It's not that much, and it's still pulling a kid's truck!" Li Yunlong said.
The Japanese transport convoy leaving Handan this time consisted of a 110-man transport squadron and an 181-man infantry squadron.
The truck at the head of the transport convoy, with a kid lying on the roof, was about to drive out of a new minefield.
A soldier from the first battalion saw this and decisively pulled the traction rope.
There was an explosion of "Boom!", and the heavier mine exploded. The truck at the front of the row immediately turned into a big fireball. Several little devils on the car who were on fire jumped out of the car and were in pain.
rolling all over the floor.
The lead truck was blocked by the bomb, and the Japanese transport convoy was immediately paralyzed. The little devils on the other trucks jumped out one after another.
The soldiers in the new regiment who were responsible for pulling the mine traction rope saw this situation and took action one after another.
In an instant, a series of explosions occurred from the mines buried on both sides of the road. Although they were not powerful enough, they also killed a group of little Japs who had just gotten off the bus, causing them to lose their combat effectiveness.
"Hit!" Li Yunlong shouted and fired the first shot.
In an instant, a new group of soldiers ambushing on both sides of the road opened fire one after another. Since there were enough bullets, the soldiers worked hard. There was a loud sound of gunfire and a rain of bullets.
Flames erupted from the muzzles of the light and heavy machine guns, sweeping towards the little Japanese on both sides of the road.
A little Japs sergeant who was slightly unlucky had his thigh cut open by an iron fragment from a mine. Two Japs beside him tried to drag him into a ditch on the roadside.
A string of heavy machine gun bullets came, and the two little Japs were hit in the back, and they fell on top of the injured little Jaap Sergeant.
"Baga, hurry up, the machine gunner suppresses the enemy's firepower!" The little Japanese sergeant pushed away the two corpses that were pressing on him and shouted loudly.
Although the little devils from the 108th Division from Handan were not as good as those from the permanent division in terms of combat effectiveness, their reaction speed was not slow at all.
Li Yunlong saw the Japanese machine gunners near the truck setting up their machine guns and even started shooting at the new group of soldiers.
"Boom!" A grenade from the Japanese army exploded near a heavy machine gun of the 1st Battalion. Fortunately, he missed his aim in a hurry.
"Zhuzhu, what the hell are you doing? Shoot off the little devil's grenade first!" Li Yun turned around and cursed loudly.
