Chapter 283 Li Yunlong: Lao Kong, Lao Ding, will you help or not?
Zhao Gang was the first to return to the village. He heard a cry from a distance, and a cadre from the enemy engineering department rushed towards him with a panic-stricken look on his face: "The political commissar... Something happened to the regiment headquarters!"
"The little devil fired several poison gas bombs into the village... All the soldiers who stayed behind at the regiment headquarters were poisoned to death... My sister-in-law also suffered an accident..."
"No ordinary people living nearby have escaped, and at least two hundred people have died...The artillery company is organizing manpower to rescue people..."
"Poison gas bomb?" Zhao Gang panicked after hearing this, and his face instantly turned pale.
He encountered Japs gas bombs on the battlefield...
If a poison gas bomb hits, all soldiers within a radius of more than ten meters will suffer.
At worst, he died on the spot, at worst, his whole body was rotten, and he was worse than dead. The memory is still fresh in his mind...
He raised his legs and rushed towards the regiment headquarters...
The poisonous gas around the regiment headquarters had begun to dissipate, and dozens of soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet towels and got into the houses to rescue the people.
The regiment headquarters is located in the center of the poisonous gas coverage area, with the highest concentration of poisonous gas. The troops are not equipped with gas masks, and they will definitely not be able to protect themselves with just wet towels. No one dares to go there yet!
Li Yunlong's newlywed wife Xiu Qin is at the regiment headquarters...
Unless something unexpected happens, no one can escape such a poisonous gas attack.
Li Yunlong didn't know that his newlywed wife had been killed, and he was leading his troops in a frantic pursuit of Yamamoto's special agent team.
Yamamoto was very precious to the few team members he had, and relying on his rank as a leftist military officer, he constantly deployed strongholds to garrison the rear, slowing down the Eighth Route Army's pursuit...
As he ran, the radio operator ran towards him: "Captain... the Dongmiao stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army... the opponent had at least one battalion and was equipped with many heavy weapons... it could be captured at any time!"
"Bage Ya Road... The Eighth Route Army is trying to drain the firepower and directly destroy our base, leaving us with no place to go..." Yamamoto Ozuo cursed angrily.
He immediately asked his subordinates for the map. After looking at it for a minute, he ordered: "Let's go to Ping'an County!"
"Notify the other two special operations teams...immediately transfer to Ping'an County after completing the mission, and we will meet there!"
When Yamamoto Daizuo was running for his life with less than twenty remaining soldiers, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were attacking the third rear rear force of the Japanese and puppet troops.
"Zhang Dabiao... What are you and Gouzi doing for food... If we don't defeat the Japanese and puppet troops in front, Yamamoto's special agent team will run away!" Li Yunlong was very anxious and yelled while shooting at the Japanese and puppet troops.
"What do grenadiers do for food?" Zhang Dabiao also became anxious and ordered loudly.
"How many rounds of grenades have been fired...and I haven't killed the Japs machine gunner yet...has all my training been in vain?"
"Immediately take out the firepower points of the Japanese and puppet troops for me... Covered by light and heavy machine guns, the third company is preparing for a forced assault... I must attack in one attack to capture the Japanese and puppet troops in front!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of grenade explosions soon sounded among the Japanese and puppet troops.
After more than ten or twenty regiments of fire, the five remaining machine gun fire points of the Japanese and puppet troops suddenly became silent.
Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up, he raised the box cannon and rushed forward: "Machine gun cover...Comrades, charge..."
Five minutes later, the third rear-guard force left by Yamamoto Daizuo was completely destroyed.
"Continue the pursuit, I must kill Yamamoto's special agent team..." Li Yunlong gave the pursuit order without hesitation...
Half an hour later, the fourth rear-guard force left by Yamamoto Daizuo blocked Li Yunlong's path.
The rear troops in front bought them a lot of time. The blocking position was built stronger, and there were several machine gun bunkers piled up with sandbags...
"Zhang Dabiao... No matter what method you use, the Japanese and puppet troops in front must be captured within ten minutes!" Li Yunlong ordered through gritted teeth.
"Commander, please rest assured, the first battalion will ensure the completion of the mission..." Zhang Dabiao took the order bravely, turned around and gave orders to his subordinates.
"All the grenadiers joined the battle...shoot out all the grenades we brought out and destroy the Japanese and puppet machine gun positions..."
"Light and heavy machine gun cover, one or three companies launch attacks at the same time. All Japanese and puppet troops in front must be killed in one attack..."
The battle ended very smoothly... Zhang Dabiao wiped out all the enemies in just eight minutes.
When Li Yunlong was about to continue chasing the Yamamoto special agent team, a scout suddenly ran over: "Captain..."
"The little devil who escaped was picked up by a car sent by Ping'an County..."
"Damn, it's just a little bit worse..." Li Yunlong cursed with a look of reluctance.
"Retreat... When I get another chance in the future, I will definitely kill that son of a bitch Yamamoto..."
"The reconnaissance company is keeping an eye on Ping'an County for me... If the Yamamoto special forces leave Ping'an, I must find out their specific location. The more detailed the better!"
At the entrance of Zhaojiayu Village, Li Yunlong noticed something was wrong before he even entered the village, especially the way his subordinates looked at him, which was obviously a little more sad than usual.
Li Yunlong unconsciously quickened his pace. Before he reached the regiment headquarters, he was stopped by Zhao Gang who came after hearing the news. Kong Jie and Ding Wei followed closely behind. The three of them looked very ugly.
"Old Li, don't go back to the regiment headquarters yet?" Zhao Gang spoke first.
"Did something happen? I am the leader of the new second regiment, why can't I go back to the regiment headquarters..." Li Yunlong's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and he frowned and asked in dissatisfaction.
"The regiment headquarters was hit by long-distance artillery fire from Yamamoto's special agent team, and they haven't cleaned up yet... wait until the comrades have cleaned up before going there!" Zhao Gang replied, just not letting Li Yunlong return to the regiment headquarters!
"The regiment headquarters was shelled..." Li Yunlong's face instantly became very solemn. He stared at Zhao Gang and asked with a serious face: "Xiu Qin was at the regiment headquarters when we were fighting the Japanese... The regiment headquarters was shelled. Is it Xiu Qin?"
Something happened!"
"Alas..." Zhao Gang replied solemnly.
"Since you have guessed it, I will not hide it from you: the regiment headquarters was attacked by ten poison gas bombs. Comrade Xiu Qin and all 26 cadres and soldiers of the regiment headquarters were killed, and more than 200 blind dates were also poisoned to death.
…”
"The regiment headquarters still has some poisoning that has not dissipated, and the troops are cleaning up the remains of the sacrificed soldiers..."
"Poison gas bomb...Xiu Qin was poisoned to death by a gas bomb..." Li Yunlong was stunned, and the solemn expression on his face immediately turned into a tragic defeat...
Pushing Zhao Gang away, he ran towards the regiment headquarters...
Zhao Gang wanted to stop him, but was blocked by Kong Jie.
"It's okay to let him see his sister-in-law for the last time... We are all old revolutionaries who have climbed through the ranks of the dead. I believe Lao Li can definitely survive it!"
After saying that, he took Ding Wei and rushed towards the headquarters of the New Second Regiment...
More than an hour later, Li Yunlong walked out of the regimental compound filled with corpses. His face was full of pain, his head was lowered, and he didn't say a word...
"Old Li... my sister-in-law is dead, you must not collapse... otherwise who will avenge my sister-in-law in the future... cheer me up..." Kong Jie patted Li Yunlong's shoulder to comfort him.
"Snapped……"
I don't know when, Li Yunlong suddenly punched the earth wall beside him with his fist, looked at Kong Jie and said seriously: "Old Kong is right..."
"I, Li Yunlong, want revenge..."
"Not only do we want to avenge Xiuqin, but we also want to avenge the more than two hundred people who died tragically in Zhaojiayu!"
"The poison gas bomb was fired by Yamamoto's special agent team. I must kill Yamamoto's special agent team and chop off Yamamoto's head with my own hands... to pay homage to the tragic death of the folks in Zhaojiayu!"
After saying that, he said to Kong Jie and Ding Wei: "Old comrades... I need your help!"
"The Yamamoto special agent team hid in Ping'an County... If we capture Ping'an County, I can chop off Yamamoto's head..."
"I decided to immediately send troops to attack Ping'an County and avenge the tragic death of the villagers in Zhaojiayu!"
When they heard that Li Yunlong was going to attack the county town, Kong Jie and Ding Wei were both shocked and quickly reminded: "Old Li, please don't be impulsive..."
"Revenge is revenge... we don't necessarily have to attack the county!"
Kong Jie added: "No matter how small the number of troops in Ping'an County is, there are still more than a thousand people... How many people are there in the New Second Regiment... If we go to attack Ping'an County now, wouldn't we be hitting the enemy's guns and dying in vain?"
Zhao Gang was most anxious, and he didn't care about Li Yunlong's current grief. He retorted without hesitation: "I don't agree to attack Ping'an County now..."
"With the current strength of the New Second Regiment, even if they capture Ping'an County, both sides will suffer losses..."
"When attacking the county town, we must not only consider attacking the city, but also consider recruiting reinforcements... No matter how fast our new second regiment develops, we will not be able to spare so many troops..."
Li Yunlong was so angry that he couldn't listen to other people's opinions at all. As soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking his objections, he stared at his big eyes and yelled: "I am the commander of the new second regiment... I have the final say in military command!"
"More than two hundred folks from Zhaojiayu died tragically before our eyes. If the New Second Regiment doesn't avenge them, other folks around us will definitely hate us..."
"This matter is settled..."
"I know Ping'an County better than you all..."
"Regardless of the need for reinforcements, if the main force of the New Second Regiment, local troops, guerrillas, and district squadrons... act together, we can definitely capture Ping'an within two days!"
"What about calling for reinforcements?" Zhao Gang asked anxiously.
"Lao Kong and Lao Ding will definitely not watch the Japanese and puppet troops pass through their defense area...With their help, most of the Japanese troops reinforcing Ping'an County can be stopped!" Li Yunlong explained.
"We only need to line up one or two companies and some local troops to block other reinforcements!"
After saying that, he stared at Kong Jie and asked Ding Wei: "Old Kong, Old Ding... can you help me with this favor... If you tell me the truth, I will be ready!"
Kong Jie is the most loyal and disciplined person. After thinking about it for a moment, he affirmed: "Without orders from superiors, the Independent Regiment will definitely not launch troops without authorization..."
"But if the little devils invade the Independent Regiment's defense area and want to cross the border from the Independent Regiment's defense area, I will definitely make it difficult for them to move forward!"
Ding Wei responded: "Don't worry, Lao Li, no matter where the Japanese and puppet troops come from or how many there are, I will not let them easily pass through the New Regiment's defense area!"
Kong Jie added: "Old Li... for such a big thing as attacking Ping'an County, I suggest that we report it to the brigade headquarters first..."
"We will send troops only after the brigade commander agrees!"
Li Yunlong snorted coldly and said, "Do you think the brigade commander will agree with me to attack Ping'an County?"
"Don't worry, I know what I know..."
"Let's start the ringing first... I'll report it in the middle of the ringing... Just say that the radio is broken and has just been repaired..."
