Li Yun Long didn't know that there was a sharp sword hanging above his head, and it was about to come down. He was thinking about getting married.
During the war, there were no formalities for marriage. If there was a witness, it would be approved. The two of them would be husband and wife.
As early as two years ago, the Independent Regiment's troops had dispersed. Within a radius of a few hundred miles, this company and that platoon had their own tasks.
Only in rare cases would they gather the officers for a meeting at Zhao Jiayu. During the ambush at Wild Wolf Valley, they gathered a battalion of soldiers. It was the largest gathering since the independent regiment split up.
There was only one security platoon in Zhaojiayu Village, where the regiment headquarters was located. There were also staff officers and handymen. When they first entered the village, Zhao Gang and Zhu Ziming, the security officer of the regiment headquarters, had checked the permanent population of this small village with less than 100 households. They didn't seem to find any suspicious people. However, Zhao Gangwan did not expect that this security officer Zhu Ziming was a spy lurking inside the Independent Regiment. His experience as a spy was very ordinary, and there was nothing dangerous about it. In a counter-sweep in 1940, he was captured while performing a mission alone. He couldn't bear it after a few whips during interrogation, so he defected to the enemy and was developed by the Japanese intelligence department as an intelligence officer. When he returned to the army, no one noticed because it took him more than ten hours to be captured, mutiny, and accept the mission. In fact, the Japanese military intelligence department had only recruited him as an undercover agent as a routine matter. They did not pay much attention to him at all. As Li Yunlong's independent regiment became more and more famous in northwestern Shanxi, Zhu Ziming's value also grew. In the end, he became a hot potato. However, the troops often acted collectively, so it was difficult for Zhu Ziming to find an opportunity to send out information. Otherwise, ten Li Yunlong would have been beheaded.
The wedding was held noisily in the regiment headquarters. There was no ceremony. The cook, Old Wang, used a basin to fill a pot of boiled vegetables. The cabbage, radish, and canned braised beef were stewed together. It was fragrant and made people drool. It had been a long time since everyone had seen the smell of oil. They were all extremely greedy. They all felt that Zhao Gang's opening remarks were nonsense. Getting married was just a man and a woman legally sleeping on the same bed. They used a meal to shut everyone's mouths so that some people would not be unfair and gossip. Why did they say so much nonsense?
Zhao Gang said a few words and felt that it was nonsense, so he raised his wine cup and said,"Everyone, raise your glasses. The first glass of wine is for the newlyweds. I wish them happiness and a long life. Cheers.”Everyone drank the wine in one gulp, and Zhao Gang suddenly sighed."Old Li, you should be content. Miss Xiuqin doesn't mind that our Eighth Route Army is poor. You've burned incense in your previous life to marry a pauper like you. She had no money, and she didn't look good either. Other than her big head, she didn't have any special features.”
Everyone laughed. Xiuqin lowered her head shyly and said nothing. Li Yunlong said casually,""It's because my head is big that she likes me, isn't it? Xiuqin. Besides, if she doesn't marry me, who else can she marry? She won't have the chance to marry a landlord or a rich man.”
Xiuqin gave Li Yunlong a hard punch while laughing.
Zhao Gang said," For this second glass of wine, I want to apologize to Comrade Xiuqin on behalf of the whole group. Today is your big day, but our whole group can't even bring out a decent dress. Which bride doesn't have a flowery dress? Today, I searched through everyone's personal belongings and thought that it would be good if anyone had a decent piece of cloth. It was a pity that I couldn't find anything. It was really hard on you. The Independent Regiment owes you a favor first. After we defeat the devils, we will use colored silk to tie up an eight-lift sedan chair and make it up to you again.”
Everyone was silent. With tears in her eyes, Xiuqin said,""Political commissar, look at what you're saying. I was born without parents and was sold as a child bride. I never dreamed that this day would come. All the comrades in the regiment are my family. I am a member of the Independent Regiment in life and a ghost of the Independent Regiment in death. What else am I not satisfied with?”
Zhao Gang continued," The third glass of wine is still for Sister-in-law Xiuqin. On behalf of the entire regiment, I wish to raise some hopes for Sister-in-law. Our Independent Regiment needs to grow and we are short of people. If Sister-in-law Xiuqin can give Old Li eight or ten sons, our Independent Regiment will be able to form another class. Of course, this is not a matter of one person. It still depends on Old Li's ability.”
Li Yun Long stood up amidst the laughter and cupped his hands at everyone.""This shouldn't be a problem.”Xiuqin, who was usually fierce, was so embarrassed that she almost crawled into the table.
"Old Wang, bring me the cake. Everyone, eat." Zhao Gang ordered.”
"Old Zhao, how come it's over with just three glasses of wine?" Li Yunlong asked unhappily. Don't we still have wine? Why are you so stingy? Ruin my mood. Old Wang, bring me some wine."
"No, only three cups. This is already an exception." Zhao Gang said firmly. We have a division of labor. You have the final say in military matters, and I have the final say in life.”
Li Yunlong was very disappointed. In a fit of pique, he ate a biscuit and then stopped eating. A few of the advisors did not know what was good for them and clamored to make a scene in the bridal chamber. Li Yunlong glared at them angrily."What are you making a fuss about? Get lost!"
Everyone dispersed unhappily. Zhao Gang was not moved at all. He only said,"Old Li, don't throw a tantrum. If you have the ability, sit here tonight and don't enter the bridal chamber.”
Li Yunlong said fiercely," I'm really unlucky in this life. I met a political commissar like you, and you even let me drink. F * ck, don't think that I'll sit on the brick bed just because I see my wife. I'll sit on it for the night. What's the big deal?"”
Zhao Gang said," It's your business whether you go to the kang or not. I don't care. If you want to be angry, you might as well carry a rifle to the village entrance to stand guard. Who are you angry with?"”
Zhao Gang didn't know that these few words had saved Li Yunlong's life. At this time, Yamamoto Ichiki's special agent team had already approached the village.
When Li Yun Long and Zhao Gang chose Zhao Family Valley as their stronghold, they had taken a fancy to the terrain of this small mountain village. The village stood beside a mountain, and there was a small path leading up the mountain behind the village. There was a path that ran from the front entrance of the village to the back of the village. This was the only road. If one wanted to reach the back of the village, they could only enter from the front entrance and pass through the entire village. Unless the other party was a monkey who could climb the cliff, they could only circle around to the back of the village. That was the problem. Yamamoto Ichiki's special agent team knew the terrain here like the back of their hand through Zhu Ziming's intelligence. If they wanted to catch Li Yunlong, they had to cut off his back road. How could they let him sneak into the mountain from behind the village? The agents had all been trained to climb, and with the help of special tools, the cliffs were no problem for them. Yamamoto Ichiki, who was also proficient in special operations, was too smart. He had long known that Li Yun was a spy.
Dragon's regiment headquarters was at the back of the village. His room was a suite inside and outside. There was an agile guard living in the outer room, and Li Yunlong lived in the inner room. Yamamoto made a sneak attack plan based on this information. He used most of his troops to climb the cliff and circle around the village. He tried his best to block Li Yunlong under the blanket without firing a shot. There were only a dozen people left at the front village entrance. He thought that the possibility of the 8th Route Army breaking out of the front village entrance was not high. Even if the 8th Route Army broke out of the front village entrance, his battle-seasoned special forces could fight ten 8th Route Army soldiers. He thought that an opponent like Li Yun Long who didn't even have the slightest bit of capital was not worthy of fighting against him.
At this moment, Li Yun Long didn't notice the approaching danger at all. It was common for him to be angry with Zhao Gang. How could he really sit for the night? He smoked a few packs of cigarettes and calmed down. Xiuqin thoughtfully brought him hot water to warm his feet. He soaked his feet for a while and chatted with Xiuqin for a while. This delayed him for an hour and inadvertently caused a small loophole in Yamamoto Ichiki's plan. Yamamoto Ichiki was expected to start the operation at 23:00 p. m. because Li Yunlong would have gone to bed early in the past. Who knew that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's quarrel would delay the time. After washing his feet, he remembered that he had not checked the sentry posts yet. Usually, he would go to each sentry post before going to bed, and today was no exception. Otherwise, he would definitely be laughed at by everyone. After the regiment commander married his wife, he was in a hurry to sleep with his wife. He even skipped the sentry duty. If word got out, it would be a little embarrassing.
He called out to the monk sleeping outside,""Monk, get up and follow me to check the sentry.”
The sleeping monk got up and mumbled,""Still on sentry duty today?"
Li Yun Long hung up the shell gun and said,"Hurry up and put on your clothes. Why are you talking so much?"?”
Xiuqin put a coat on Li Yunlong, looked at him affectionately, and said,""Don't freeze, I'll wait for you to come back."
Li Yun Long responded and led the monk out of the courtyard. How could he know that this was the final farewell to his wife?
At 22:50, Yamamoto Ichiki's special agent team had climbed the cliff to the back of the village and blocked the retreat into the mountain. The safety of the submachine guns in the hands of the agents at the front village entrance had been opened, and they all entered the attack position. They were all looking at the luminous watches on their wrists, waiting for 23 o'clock sharp to take action…
According to his habit, Li Yunlong had to check the nearby shops before he went to check on the sentry. This army had this habit since the Red Army era, and it was a rule for the officers to check the shops at night. Zhaojiayu was a poor village. There was not even a family that could be called a rich farmer in the village, so there was no decent house. The guard platoon and the regimental staff were all living in the farmer's house.
At 22:55, Li Yunlong and the monk found that the bunk of Zhu Ziming, the security officer of the regiment, was empty. The two of them looked at each other and pulled out their guns at the same time. Then, they rubbed the gun's head against their thighs.
An ominous thought flashed across Li Yunlong's mind. Zhu Ziming didn't want to go to the toilet, which was in the yard. The security officer did not have the responsibility to check the sentry. What was he doing in the middle of the night? Moreover, he had left in a neat outfit because his Shell Spear was gone. "There's a situation. Inform everyone to gather urgently." He shouted softly.”After saying that, he had already dashed out of the house. The monk woke up the others and passed on the order. He also ran out of the house and chased after Li Yun Long to the village entrance…
At 22:59, the Japanese agents at the front of the village approached the sentry post of the Independent Regiment. One of the agents who served as the vanguard pulled out his sword.
At this moment, Li Yunlong, who was running, had no intention of firing a gun to call the police. He wanted to find out what was going on. It might be a false alarm. However, the security platoon and regimental personnel had already been woken up and were putting on their clothes.
At 23 o'clock sharp, the sentry standing at the front village entrance suddenly felt a white light flash in front of his eyes without him noticing. He didn't have time to shout before he collapsed. The agent who ambushed the sentry was indeed a master. The knife he threw accurately pierced the sentry's neck, and the blood from the severed carotid artery dyed the snow red. Once the move succeeded, the agents jumped up and rushed into the village entrance.
Just as Li Yunlong and the monk were about to approach the village entrance, the sound of a gunshot pierced through the night sky. The agent who rushed to the front fell head first. A small black hole appeared between his eyebrows. The Japanese soldier who was good at throwing knives was still wondering in surprise at the moment when his life was about to die. What was wrong?
This shot was fired from a hidden sentry post about 30 meters away from the village entrance. Setting up sentries like this was the specialty of the independent regiment. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had the same opinion on setting up sentries. It was obvious that open sentries were easy to attack. It would be foolish to entrust the safety of an army to a sentinel. In the harsh environment of war, any carelessness could bring disaster. Scouts were sent out irregularly, depending on the situation. The sentry post was also frequently changed because once any matter became a rule, it would become rigid. Tonight's latent sentry was arranged by Zhao Gang. The well-trained Japanese special agent team had a bad start and actually fell on the latent sentry.
If the hidden sentry had a submachine gun that could shoot continuously, the special agent team would have suffered a huge loss. The road at the village entrance was narrow, and the special agent team members could not form a battle formation. They were all crowded together. The soldiers who were shot were only a few meters away from the hidden sentry. At such a distance, there was no need for a sharpshooter. They suddenly opened fire from the dark, and they could have had the upper hand. The key was that the weapons in the hands of the sentries were too poor. His " Hanyang made " rifle needed time to reload. This short delay of seven or eight seconds cost him his life. The submachine gun in the agent's hand shot him down in a short burst.
Li Yun Long and the monk had already discovered this group of enemies. They were waiting on both sides of the road. Veterans with actual combat experience would never bluff in battle. They would carefully calculate the disparity between the capital of both parties like stingy businessmen, and how to use their limited capital to exchange for the greatest benefits. When they saw that their sentries had been knocked down, they would never fly into a rage and rush to avenge their comrades. Instead, they did not even move their eyebrows. The sentries had completed their duties, and it was now their turn to do so. It was a war. If a few people died, they would cry and shout for revenge. This war would not be able to be fought. Only new recruits would do this.
Li Yunlong crouched behind a millstone. A few magazines filled with bullets were neatly arranged in front of him. His body remained motionless like a statue. Behind a low wall not far from the road, the monk held two loaded shell guns and quietly watched the agents in motion…
In fact, when the gun was fired, Li Yunlong realized that the Japanese were a little strange. Their posture was very strange. They held the submachine gun in one hand and pointed it forward. The other hand held the shell gun. The muzzle was pointing straight at the sky. They were loaded with magazines. There were sheathed daggers hanging on their belts. The steel helmets on their heads did not reflect any light under the moonlight. Damn it, it was strange. They had been fighting for five or six years, and there were at least hundreds of Japanese soldiers who had fallen under their guns. They had never seen a Japanese infantry who did not use the "38 Big Cover". It was really f * cking strange.
During World War II in the 1940s, the theory of special operations had just matured and was put into practice in various military powers. How could Li Yunlong, a country bumpkin, know what special forces were?
Not to mention Li Yunlong, even Zhao Gang, who was a university student, didn't know what the special forces were. He was leading the security platoon to the front village entrance. Like Li Yunlong, he was not panicked at all. There was nothing to be afraid of when the ghost came from the front village entrance. They could just hold it off at the village entrance. At most, they could retreat to the mountains from the back village entrance. Once they entered, it would be useless even if they sent a team. He didn't know that his escape route had been cut off.
When Li Yunlong and the other Japanese soldiers were only a few meters away from him, he suddenly fired a long shot with the shell gun in his hand. The two Japanese soldiers at the front fell. The remaining Japanese soldiers were indeed special forces soldiers. Their reactions were extremely agile. At the same time as the gunshot, his body had already rolled to the side. As he rolled, he used his submachine gun to fire short shots continuously, hitting the stone millstone in front of Li Yunlong until the gravel flew everywhere. A bullet brushed past Li Yunlong's neck, leaving a bloody gash on his neck. The warm blood flowed down his neck and into his collar. Li Yunlong was so shocked that cold sweat trickled down his forehead. This group of Japanese soldiers was quite skilled. He did not have time to think too much.”"Bang!" The Japanese grenade launcher rang, and two shells fell on the millstone one after another. "Boom!" "Boom!" Debris fell from the explosion. Li Yunlong spat and secretly exclaimed," What an accurate shot. The first two grenade launchers hit the target, and the shells landed on the same spot." If it wasn't for the millstone blocking the shell, it would have hit Li Yunlong's back directly. F * ck, I finally met a tough opponent today. Li Yunlong rolled sideways. If he didn't change his position, he wouldn't be so lucky if the second batch of shells landed. The monk was a good kid. The fight was so lively here, but he was so calm that he didn't fire a shot. He was waiting for an opportunity.
After Li Yunlong left the millstone, he was immediately pinned to the ground by several submachine guns. He could not move, and the point of impact was getting closer and closer, only a few dozen centimeters away from his head. The two Japanese jumped up under the cover of the fire. The monk finally succeeded. With a long burst of fire, the backs of the two Japanese were smashed into pieces like beehives. The gunfight only took five minutes. The short five minutes of blocking had won time. Zhao Gang led the platoon of guards and rushed up from behind. The soldiers were still fighting as usual. In front of them were the light machine guns of the Soviet Union, and the soldiers behind them were charging forward with their bright bayonet. Li Yunlong shouted," Don't come over, everyone lie down..." It was too late. The Japanese soldiers swept over with a few submachine guns like a gust of wind. Zhao Gang and a few soldiers fell down like chopped down sorghums...
" Old Zhao..." Li Yunlong roared, tears flowing out of his eyes. He swung his hand, and the shell gun swept over in a fan shape. The Japanese agents each relied on their cover to fight back, and the gunfight was in a stalemate.
Wang Darong, the platoon leader of the guards, commanded two machine gunners to suppress the Japanese with firepower. Panting, he climbed to Li Yunlong's side and said,"" Regiment commander, the back road is blocked. The Japanese are coming up from behind…"
Li Yunlong was shocked. Oh no, my wife…"
Wang Darong cried." Regiment commander, I led a squad and more than ten people from the regiment headquarters to try and get sister-in-law back. However, the Japanese's firepower is too fierce. More than half of our brothers have been sacrificed. I'm f * cking useless."”
"Stop talking," Li Yunlong shouted,"How's the political commissar?"”
" He was shot in the abdomen. He's seriously injured."
Gunshots rang out from behind. Yamamoto Ichiki's special agent team had occupied more than half of the village. Old Wang, the cook of the regimental headquarters, was holding a crooked machine gun and firing. Several staff officers, coachmen, and communicators of the regimental headquarters were holding guns and forming a line of defense behind them. The situation was extremely urgent. There were enemies in front and behind. Li Yunlong finally tasted the feeling of being attacked from both sides today. Li Yunlong tore off his clothes to wake himself up in the cold wind. He knew that all the officers and soldiers were counting on him. He must not be irritable. Since the day the Independent Regiment was established, it had never encountered such a dangerous situation. Today was the day. Judging from the gunshots based on experience, there were not many Japanese soldiers in front. Since the Japanese wanted to take the back road, they would definitely place their forces at the back and wait for you to enter.
Laozi broke out from the front.
He gave the order," Machine gun cover. Everyone, fix your bayonet. Except for two soldiers who carry the political commissar, the rest of you prepare to charge. Those who charge out will gather at Peach Blossom Valley and be incorporated into the second battalion. Get ready."”
The two light machine guns fired, and the remaining 20 or so officers shouted and launched a tragic attack. In an instant, the crossfire formed by submachine guns formed a dense barrage. Another seven or eight soldiers fell, and the remaining soldiers were pressed to the ground by the firepower. Li Yunlong's eyes were burning with anger. He pushed away the machine gunner, raised the machine gun, and shouted," F * ck, I'm going all out…" Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the monk carrying a cluster grenade tied with a legging cloth and jumping out of the low wall. Li Yunlong was stunned when he saw it. For an ordinary person, a cluster of four grenades would be difficult to deal with because this weight could only be thrown ten meters at most. The huge explosive force was likely to blow him up, but this time, the monk was carrying a total of ten grenades. Li Yunlong didn't have time to stop him. He only heard the monk shout,"" Little Japanese, f * ck your grandmother…" He turned 360 degrees and threw the cluster grenades like throwing a discus. A miracle happened. The huge cluster grenades drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew 20 meters away. At the same time the monk fell, there was a loud crash. The powerful shock wave swept past like a hurricane. The houses on both sides were like cardboard toys and the Japanese submachine gunners were sent flying into the air. Broken bricks and broken tiles, along with the broken limbs of the Japanese, fell like rain. The scene in front of them suddenly became clear. A small square appeared in the soldiers 'field of vision. The path to break through was opened. The remaining soldiers carried the wounded and rushed out of the village with a roar...
