Chapter 148: The Japanese Also Know the Empty City Plan? (Revised)
Let's switch back to the New Second Regiment.
When Zhang Dabiao led the cavalry of the 772nd Regiment to Li Yunlong, the messenger fell off the horse in a hurry, and even sprained his ankle when he landed because it was too dark.
But the pain did not affect the soldier. He stood up with a push and said loudly to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang in front of him:
"Captain Li! Please take people to help our 772nd Regiment quickly! Our commander can't hold on any longer!"
After hearing this, Captain Li immediately handed the crowbar in his hand to the guard Hu Zi beside him. He was concerned about the friendly forces, and without even asking about the specific situation, he said to the standby communicator beside him:
"Notify the whole regiment to assemble! Everyone check their weapons! Be ready to fight at any time! Hand over all the tools in your hands except the engineer shovel! The task of destroying the railway is handed over to the local troops and fellow villagers!"
"The whole regiment's target is Lujiazhuang! March quickly! Support the 772nd Regiment."
Although the new 2nd Regiment was only a basic regiment that had just been established not long ago, many soldiers had never seen the blood of the enemy.
But after strict training by Li Da and Zhao Gang, if the soldiers only talk about individual quality, they are no worse than some veterans of the preserved fruit troops, and there is no problem in obeying orders.
The section of the road they are on is between Yuci and Lujiazhuang. It is about ten kilometers away from the location of the 772nd Regiment, and the fastest forced march takes an hour.
Although Li Yunlong kept shouting that he wanted to fight, he really didn't want Cheng Xiazi to get into trouble in his heart. The two of them were comrades from the same squad, and they were also the old squad leaders of the other side.
Thinking of this, the rough but meticulous old Li immediately called Sun Desheng.
Obviously, the captain of the cavalry company of the new second regiment had already made preparations. When he appeared in front of Li Yunlong, he was followed by the soldiers of the whole company, and he looked like he was about to go to the battlefield.
"Captain! Don't worry! I know what you are thinking! Our cavalry company can set off now."
Captain Li nodded during the forced march. At this moment, he realized the importance of an excellent subordinate. Sometimes, you can achieve tacit understanding even if you can't communicate.
However, before Sun Desheng set off, he still reminded him with some worry:
"If you arrive at the battlefield and find that the situation is irreversible, don't fight the enemy head-on! Don't rush up with the whole company in a fit of anger."
"At that time, the mission of your cavalry company was to save as many people as possible. The devils definitely don't have cavalry, and we must give full play to our mobility advantage."
"If the battlefield is very tense, you will listen to the command of Captain Cheng. Pay attention to safety in all actions, go!"
After the two finished communicating, Li Yunlong immediately closed his mouth to prevent the frequency of breathing from being affected by talking.
Sun Desheng set off immediately with more than a hundred soldiers. This distance was not a concern for the carefully fed war horses, and there was no need to consider saving horsepower.
An hour later, the new second regiment arrived at the outskirts of Lujiazhuang.
Although they had not yet reached the front line, Li Yunlong, who was experienced in combat, could determine by hearing that the worst situation of the 772nd Regiment was that it was in a balance with the enemy.
Since there was no rush to reinforce, the cunning commander Li immediately ordered the soldiers of the entire regiment to remain hidden and try not to let the devil know that the Eighth Route Army had come to support.
As it turned out, Lao Li's judgment was almost correct, and even a little conservative.
After the initial panic, Cheng Xiazi gradually started to fight steadily. And the whole process was surprisingly smooth. They easily blocked the enemy in front of the trench.
At this time, the two sides on the battlefield were still exchanging fire. Generally speaking, the 772nd Regiment was still the advantage, but the lack of ammunition and casualties exceeded expectations.
Seeing that the friendly reinforcements finally arrived at the battlefield, the guards who had been waiting here for a long time immediately appeared and took Li Yunlong to the temporary command post of the 772nd Regiment.
Looking at Cheng Xiazi's face blackened by gunpowder smoke, Li Yunlong knew that the other party must have followed the soldiers to charge, after all, he often did this.
"Old Li, you are finally here. Damn, I am so unlucky today. I farted and hit my heels. The mission was about to end, but I didn't expect a large group of Japanese devils to jump out."
"I really don't know where the enemy came from. Aren't all our troops along the way? How can such a large military train come here?"
"There is no way to call for reinforcements. Although we can win, it will definitely become a war of attrition. I don't want my soldiers to suffer too many casualties because of such a broken place."
In fact, this matter cannot be blamed on other troops. It can only be said that Cheng Xiazi's luck was not good today.
Those so-called Japanese reinforcements were a group of retired logistics personnel who were preparing to return to their homeland from Taiyuan.
Most of them didn't even have a Type 38 rifle. If there was no arsenal in Lujia Village, we would have to fight the 772nd Regiment with our belts.
Moreover, these devils lacked training, and most of them were disabled. Even if they picked up guns, their combat effectiveness was very limited.
When Blind Cheng described the battlefield situation to him just now, Li Yunlong chose a place with a wide field of vision and kept observing the battlefield with a telescope.
He knew that Blind Cheng was not showing off. Although the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment were less in number than the devils, they made full use of the trenches left by the devils.
It's a pity that when the fortifications were built, the small days were dug according to the battalion standard, otherwise it really couldn't fit a thousand people.
If the fighting continues, the soldiers will cooperate with the support of the rear artillery, and it will only be a matter of casualties and time to take down this group of small days.
"What is the current casualty situation of the troops? How many combat-ready soldiers are there in your regiment?"
Hearing these words that vaguely revealed these concerns, Cheng Shifa couldn't believe it and touched his ears, as if to see if he was hallucinating because of the artillery shells.
The current Li Yunlong is no longer the low EQ who mocked the brother troops in the original book.
At that time, in the battle of Lijiapo, the 772nd Regiment, as the vanguard, did not attack smoothly, and the brigade commander replaced it under pressure.
Facing the friendly forces that failed to attack and lost more than half of their troops, Li Yunlong was simply taking advantage of it.
Not only did he not keep a low profile and be honest, but he also showed off his power in front of the soldiers, and didn't care that the 772nd Regiment also caused the Yamazaki Battalion to lose more than half of its troops.
Although on the battlefield, victory is victory and defeat is defeat. It is reasonable to only talk about winning and losing, and not about human relations. After all, even the 101st in those days was said to not fight after eating Western bread for a few years.
But this kind of words should be said in different occasions, and some occasions are just brainless.
At that time, it will definitely hurt the feelings between the brother troops and affect unity. And it will damage the prestige of the chief officer of the troops, and it will more or less affect Cheng Xiazi's command of the troops in the future.
If Li Yunlong met Li Jiapo now, he would definitely pull Cheng Xiazi aside and scold him bitterly, and then lead his troops to demonstrate the correct way of attack to the other party.
This will not only make the other party convinced, but also give his old comrades a long memory.
But this is all later, and Cheng Xiazi now can't be a waste. Li Jiapo also has other ways to deal with it under the arrangement of Huanghe for a rainy day.
Although he was a little shocked by the change of the old squad leader, he still reported the situation truthfully.
"The casualties are not too serious. Less than 200 people have lost their combat effectiveness. I just calculated that there are at least 1,000 soldiers who can launch an attack."
"Don't keep me in suspense. I know you have a lot of tricks. Tell us what tactics you have. We can't delay the raid for too long. It will be troublesome if the Japanese react."
Post it first and then modify it. There are a few hundred words to modify later. My fault!
