Li Yunlong finished instructing Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion.
He turned around and said to Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan,""Your 2nd Battalion will be temporarily reorganized into two reinforced companies and an assault team of about 50 people. The two reinforced companies will bring along digging tools. After breaking through the line of fire, quickly move to this position at the foot of the hill. This is Yamazaki's blind spot. Assault team, the assembly team had 20 machines made in the Soviet Republic. Machine guns were hung in front of their chests. There was no need to conserve bullets. Once the grenade explosion stopped, they immediately rushed forward. The 20 machine guns opened fire at the same time. The firepower could not be interrupted. If someone was shot, someone had to take over from behind! We must create an opportunity for the brothers of the 1st Battalion to engage in a hand-to-hand battle! If they could silence the Japanese for 10 seconds, they would win the battle!”
Shen Quan was a veteran Red Army soldier who had followed Li Yunlong out of Hubei, Henan, and Wan. He had no objections to this tactical allocation.
A hand-to-hand battle that required strength and energy. After the second battalion finished digging the tunnel, they were already exhausted and could not take on the main mission.
"Sigh, our Second Battalion does this kind of dirty work.”
Shen Quan sighed and looked at Zhang Dabiao enviously.
Li Yun Long was not a fussy person. He comforted the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan,""You can't be picky in revolutionary work! In this battle, the entire Independent Regiment will participate in the attack, from me to the coachman. After the assault team and the 1st Battalion break up the Japanese formation, we will immediately form the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th wave of attacks. Let the Japanese have a taste of our machete! Go and prepare!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
After the meeting ended, the 1st and 2nd battalions began to prepare for the battle.
The 1st Battalion had obtained the entire regiment's grenades. Those who were idle took out whetstones and sharpened their Ghost Head Blades.
The assault team of the 2nd Battalion gathered light machine guns, and the two reinforced companies prepared hundreds of shovels, pickaxes, and shovels.
Zhou Lin was in the room where the cavalry company was on standby. He heard the battle conference clearly. He did not want to see too many casualties among the brothers of the second battalion.
He decided to look for Li Yunlong and make a simple "report".
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the regiment headquarters, he saw Sun Desheng, Zhao Gang, and Li Yunlong arguing.
Sun Desheng was unconvinced and said to Zhao Gang,""Political commissar, please be reasonable. The regiment commander's orders are military orders, right? How could he change it just like that? The brothers of the cavalry company are all waiting for me. If I go back like this, it won't be good for me to educate them. Just now, just now! Some cooks from the regimental headquarters ran to our cavalry company to borrow knives and even said some sarcastic words, In your cavalry company, men and horses are treasures, but you can't possibly treasure sabers too, right? Let us use it to kill the devils and return them. Political commissar, tell me, who can take this?”
Zhao Gang saw Sun Desheng's indignant look and nodded. He said to Li Yunlong,""Regiment Commander, Company Commander Sun's words do make sense. If we are given special treatment, it will not be conducive to unity.”
Li Yunlong's face was squeezed into a ball. He looked extremely unwilling.
"I say…Political Commissar Zhao? Why are you always competing with me? Let me emphasize once more, this is a battle on high ground, and it's an attack from above. The cavalry's target is too big, charging forward is simply courting death. I, Old Li, only have so much money. I can't use cavalry as infantry. Good steel is used on the blade. I can't be a prodigal, right?”
Zhao Gang felt that what Li Yunlong said made sense, but Sun Desheng's problem had to be adjusted.
"What I mean is, since the order has been given. The entire regiment would participate in the battle. It was indeed inappropriate to place the cavalry company at the back to watch the battle. It would also have a bad impact on the mentality of the soldiers. In the future, there would definitely be some sarcastic remarks. Who asked you to give orders without much consideration? Military orders are like mountains. If you change them overnight, it will weaken the authority of the commander.”
When Sun Desheng heard Zhao Gang speak up for him, he nodded and said,"Yes! Weaken! The political commissar's words were still of a higher standard! Hey…Class monitor, why are you here?”
When Sun Desheng nodded, he saw Zhou Lin walking over with a shovel.
Zhou Lin ignored Sun Desheng. He gathered the shovel and saluted Li Yunlong."Captain, I have some doubts about the speed of the excavation.”
Hearing Zhou Lin's words, Li Yun Long said with interest,""Doubt? Tell me."
In front of Li Yun Long and Zhao Gang, Zhou Lin didn't say anything else. He picked up the shovel and stabbed it into the ground outside the regiment headquarters.
He used a lot of strength and made a banging sound. Sparks flew out. After a few hits, he poked a fist-sized pit on the ground.
"Regiment commander, as you can see, it's winter now, and the temperature has frozen the soil into a lump of iron. Two reinforced companies with more than 300 people digging a 50-meter tunnel under the eyes of the Japanese army, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties. Regiment commander, let me join the excavation company. I have a way to dig a tunnel with zero casualties.”
Li Yunlong took the shovel and tried it himself. He found that it was indeed not easy to dig. He really needed to pay attention to this matter.
However, pointing at Zhou Lin was definitely impossible, because listening to him, he was like an unreliable new recruit.
Zero casualties? When they first joined the army, everyone imagined that they were the savior of the world, that one man could hold the fort against ten thousand men, that they could seal the wolves and hide the tigers, that they could be the brave leader of the army, and so on. In the end, after a battle, they only understood the cruelty of battle after seeing the bloody mess.
Li Yunlong had been involved in the revolution for many years and knew that revolution was not about treating people to a meal. It was inevitable for the second battalion to have sacrifices. The commanders could only try their best to reduce casualties.
"I didn't expect a cavalry company's squad leader to send me, Old Li, to fight. Let me tell you, I've asked in advance. The land near the target's high ground has been loosened by artillery shells and is suitable for excavation. As for you? You should stay in the cavalry company for the cavalry training.”
Zhou Lin didn't expect Li Yun Long to reject his request!
That feeling was like his hot blood had cooled down a few degrees. His entire person was instantly stunned!
Li Yunlong looked at Sun Desheng and Zhou Lin with a look of wanting to fight. He said helplessly,""Sigh, seeing how eager your Cavalry Company is to fight, how about this, the Cavalry Company will participate in the battle on foot, and the order of attack, hmm…will be the last square formation of the entire regiment.”
When Sun Desheng heard that he was at the end, he shouted,"What? Even the cooks and coachmen of the regimental headquarters are ahead of us?”
"What price are you talking about? I'm busy! It's not bad that I let you attack. Hurry up and get lost!”
Zhou Lin saw that he had the order of attack and said to Li Yunlong,""Even if the cavalry doesn't have horses, they can run faster than anyone! Company Commander, let's go."
