"First Battalion Commander, pass on my order. No one is to move. Wait for the opportunity to attack. Even if you want to shit, you have to do it in your pants!”
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving Li Yunlong's order, Zhang Dabiao didn't dare to convey it in a big way. He lay on the mud pit and crept forward, whispering to the soldiers lying in ambush,""Everyone, don't move.”
Chu Yunfei's dark blue military uniform was covered in mud. He really didn't know what Li Yunlong was waiting for. It had been dark since he came out in the afternoon. Not to mention whether he was hungry or not, the Independent Regiment still had a guard duty.
Chu Yunfei put away the original Zeiss binoculars and said,""Regiment Commander Li, four hours have passed. You said you were out for a stroll. I think you're leaving your post without permission.”
"Sigh, I know our commander. It's good enough as long as we can win the battle. If we faithfully carry out the orders, we'll be scolded even if we don't win the battle.”
Li Yunlong held a pair of binoculars and focused on the Japanese soldiers standing guard on the road. He was so excited that he did not even blink.
Chu Yunfei was beside Li Yunlong. He was interested when he heard Li Yunlong say that he had some information.
"Regiment Commander Li, did the person who helped you get the 6.5 bullets tell you? I'll give you ten machine guns for this soldier. How about it?”
When Li Yun Long heard that Chu Yun Fei wanted to poach him, he said,""Stop it. After this battle, Zhou Lin will be my third battalion commander. If I make another mistake in the future, he might be the commander of the independent regiment. I wouldn't even trade for Yan Laoxi's arsenal, let alone a few lousy guns!”
"Oh? So this brave man is called Zhou Lin. Seeing how Regiment Commander Li thinks so highly of him, this Chu wants to meet him even more.”
Chu Yunfei did not expect that the 8th Route Army, which had always been poor, would actually refuse the temptation of firearms.
Li Yunlong ignored Chu Yunfei and looked at the increasing number of Japanese soldiers with flashlights on the road. He remembered the agreement with Zhao Gang and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Oh no, there seem to be more devils standing guard below. I don't think my troops are enough.”
Chu Yunfei smiled and said,"Commander Li, don't worry about it. Your army has always fought if you can win. If you can't win, then leave."”
Li Yunlong saw that the Japanese sentry was still dispatching, and the big fish should not come for a while.
He put away his binoculars and lay on the mud pit in a comfortable position to retort Chu Yunfei.
"If I don't run, will I be beaten up like Yan Laoxi? During the Battle of Xinkou, your Jinsui Army was beaten to a pulp by the Itagaki Regiment. Within 12 hours of the day, 10 regiments defending the base were crippled. You didn't have any tactical flexibility at all, but you were bragging loudly. You couldn't even defend your own home, how useless was that? You're not even as good as the national army that came to help, and you still have the face to talk about our Eighth Route Army?”
The Battle of Xinkou was fought in 1937. It was also the first major battle that Li Yunlong brought a new regiment to Shanxi.
This battle was fought by the Guo, Gong, and Jin forces. The Guo army was fighting vigorously. Wei Lihuang's 14th army had a well-organized coordination of infantry and artillery. Even someone as proud as Li Yunlong gave him a thumbs up.
The frontline soldiers of the national army also fought with courage. Led by the commander of the 9th army, Hao Mengling, a large number of brigade commanders died in the line of fire, shocking the entire country.
As for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army…they fought valiantly. They used the fighting style of the French war. More than ten regiments formed a long snake and prepared to use the oil tactics. They did not expect to be blown up by the Japanese artillery regiment's large-caliber artillery. They were simply a negative example of military command.
Li Yunlong's heart ached when he found out. He really wanted to pull Yan Xishan's ear and ask him if he could gather an entire division on a battlefield that was three kilometers wide!
Chu Yunfei looked polite on the surface, but in fact, he was unyielding and refused to submit to anyone. Ever since he graduated from the Huangpu fifth phase, he had been serving in the Jinsui Army. In recent years, he had been promoted to the captain of the main force by Yan Xishan. Hearing Li Yunlong's words, his face turned ashen.
During the Battle of Xinkou in 1937, Chu Yunfei was a company commander. The negative example Li Yunlong mentioned was the teaching brigade of Yang Aiyuan, the second leader of the Jinsui Army. Because of the wrong deployment, nine regiments were destroyed in one day, exposing the flank of Xinkou, which had a great impact on the battle.
However, the Celestial Empire was weak. Could this be reversed by a single battle? If Yang Aiyuan's deployment was correct, could the Xinkou Battle be won?
Fallacy! Ridiculous!
Chu Yunfei was annoyed by Li Yunlong's words and retorted,""Regiment Commander Li, it doesn't matter if you talk about me, but don't talk about our Commander Yan behind his back. Since you're talking about the history of the war, then fine. At the Battle of Xinkou, no matter how bad our Jinsui troops fought, we still killed more than 20,000 Japanese! How about the Zhongtiao Mountain Battle that the Central Army fought? After more than a month, there were 40,000 casualties and 40,000 captives. The Japanese army lost less than 3000 people. 27. It was hailed by the National Government as the greatest humiliation since the War of Resistance. There was also Nanjing City. General Tang Shengzhi's "vow to live and die together with Nanjing" was not much louder than ours? And the result? In less than three days, 120,000 soldiers and the civilians of Zhoucun Town who didn't escape were surrounded by the Japanese and slaughtered. They didn't even have a hand…"
"Don't mention the Nanjing incident. I'm furious just thinking about it!”
Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei were silent after arguing in Nanjing.
In front of Japan, the enemy, the country, the Republic of China, and Jin had to shake hands and cooperate no matter how much they disliked each other. They definitely could not let the Nanjing incident happen a second time.
It was already past three in the morning. The ambush location of the 1st Battalion was pitch black, but the road was illuminated by the Japanese sentry.
Li Yunlong was also impatient. Looking at the Japanese soldiers patrolling and standing guard at the foot of the hill, their tones of conversation began to rise. He climbed up again and looked down. He asked Chu Yunfei beside him," Do you understand Japanese?" What are you talking about?"
"I know a few words. Let me listen. It seems to be saying that in 10 minutes, some convoy will pass by this road. Brother Li, it should be the target you're waiting for, right?”
As soon as Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he saw a dozen headlights on the mountain road not far away. They were like a long dragon in the night, shining over.
He could vaguely hear the echoes of the convoy.
The lieutenants in the observation group treated this trip as a vacation and were still drinking and singing. They did not pay attention to concealment at all.
Li Yunlong saw the big fish and said,""Hey, I'm waiting for the convoy. Zhang Dabiao, tell the bomb squad to crawl 20 meters forward. Once I shoot, blow up the front and rear vehicles. Light and heavy machine gun squads, don't save your bullets. Fight as hard as you can. In the first round of shooting, we will kill half of the Japanese. The rest of you, listen to my orders. Fire three shots along the way. Then, the bayonet will be red. This battle doesn't want captives. We don't want to clean up the battlefield. Let's end it quickly!”
"Yes, sir! Comrades, pass on the order and prepare for battle. Bomb squad, move forward. Machine gun squad, activate the safety. Everyone, fix your bayonet!”
At four o'clock in the morning, the generals of the two armies in Lingyang Village were already asleep.
Yamamoto Ichiki looked at the time and pointed at the vertical cliff in front of him.
"Vanguards, come with me!"
