The battalion commanders and direct company commanders, as well as the sharp sword special detachment leaders, all gathered around the sand table.
Li Yunlong specially asked the security platoon soldiers to dig out hundreds of kilograms of sand and restore almost half of Qi County's terrain in the yard.
"Can any of you tell where this sand table is?" Li Yunlong asked after glancing at everyone.
Everyone looked at the sand table for a few times, and then looked at each other. This thing is rare. Does the leader want to train them in military skills?
Only Sun Desheng, who accompanied Li Yunlong during the entire reconnaissance process, raised his hand. To him, the sand table was as clear as a real mountain and water.
Li Yunlong said: "Sun Desheng, tell me where this is."
Sun Desheng pointed to the sand table: "Report to the leader, this is the southern part of Qi County, this is the county seat, this is the Huting stronghold, and this is the Kuaizi Mountain where we ambush the Okazaki Brigade last time."
Everyone then looked intently at the location pointed by Sun Desheng. The county seat and Huting stronghold were not easy to identify, but the terrain of Guaizi Mountain was quite familiar.
"Yes, this is indeed the southern part of Qi County." Li Yunlong glanced at Sun Desheng appreciatively.
Li Yunlong said: "After unanimous study and decision by the regiment party committee, our department is ready to launch an attack on the Heidao Cavalry Regiment stationed in Qi County, and the superiors have agreed to our department's combat plan."
The so-called superiors have agreed to the combat plan, which is an opportunity for him to conduct an unauthorized combat operation with 40 light machine guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition.
The reason why I say this is to give everyone present a reassurance.
Who dares to have an opinion on a combat plan that is agreed upon by superiors?
Everyone's expressions became serious, as if they were listening to the commander's assignment of combat missions.
Li Yunlong has been rehearsing on the map and sand table for the past two days, and the detailed combat plan has been determined.
"Unlike before, what we have to deal with this time is the enemy's cavalry."
After a pause, Li Yunlong emphasized again: "A regiment of Japanese cavalry."
"So, I prepared 120 machine guns this time to deal with the Japanese cavalry."
Zhang Dabiao stared at the sand table and asked: "Captain, where are you going to take action?"
Li Yunlong pointed to the sand table and said: "Ye Lang Valley."
Yelangyu does not refer to a certain canyon or valley, but an entire hilly terrain.
"Leave the task of bringing the Black Island Regiment over to the Cavalry Company."
"Sun Desheng, I borrowed two cavalry companies from two old comrades and gave them to your command to form a temporary cavalry battalion."
"Do you have the confidence to lead the Black Island Cavalry Regiment out for me?"
"Report to the leader, there is no problem, I promise to complete the task!" Sun Desheng said immediately.
"Okay, you just need to lead the Black Island Cavalry Regiment to Yelangyu, and this battle will be considered your first success." Li Yunlong nodded.
Sun Desheng looked overjoyed, and more than 300 Eighth Route Cavalrymen went for a walk outside the county town. After seeing the Japanese cavalry, why not attack them like mad?
It’s too easy to get this skill...
Li Yunlong continued: "Gather all the machine guns and machine gunners of the entire regiment together, and 80 of them will form a temporary machine gun reinforcement battalion, under the command of the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao."
"The machine gun battalion set up an ambush in Yelangyu, and the artillery company cooperated with the machine gun battalion in fighting."
"The second battalion commander led a battalion to ambush in Dawanggou. In addition to rifles, I will allocate you 20 machine guns and 50 submachine guns."
"But we have to wait until all the Japanese cavalry have passed before we can enter the ambush position."
Zheng Yu quickly looked towards the position pointed by the regiment leader, thought for a moment and said: "What the regiment commander means is that our second battalion ambushed and defeated the Japanese cavalry who escaped?"
"That's right." Li Yunlong nodded, "Your mind works very fast, that's what I mean."
"After all, it is a cavalry regiment. There are more than 1,000 cavalrymen. It is simply unrealistic to think about eating them."
"But if you eat it in three bites, you still have a chance to eat it all."
Then, Li Yunlong looked at Chen Dugu: "This third bite will be taken by you, Commander of the Third Battalion."
"In addition to giving you 20 machine guns and 50 submachine guns, I will also give you 4 machine guns."
"After passing the two entrances in front, it is estimated that there are not many Japanese cavalry left."
"You will ambush here in Tsim Shan Tsui, just like the Second Battalion, and wait for the Japanese cavalry to pass by before entering the ambush position."
"Your mission is to wipe out all the remaining Japanese cavalry here."
Finally, Li Yunlong looked at Lu Yingjun, the captain of the Sword Special Warfare Team.
"I prepared 60 sets of equipment for the Japanese cavalry. Military uniforms, boots, battle robes, sabers and horses were all stolen from the Japanese."
Many of the captured Japanese cavalry uniforms that day were torn by sabers.
However, Li Yunlong asked the soldiers to wash and dry the military uniforms, and then took them to the quilt factory for urgent repairs. No abnormalities were found.
Although there are more than 60 sets of military uniforms, there are only more than 60 surplus military horses.
Li Yunlong continued: "In addition to your sharp sword detachment, I will give you 26 more people. You 60 people will all put on Japanese equipment. After the Black Island Cavalry Regiment is eaten, you will dress up as Japanese cavalry and enter the city.
Occupy the southern city wall, hold it, and cooperate with the large forces to attack the city!"
Li Yunlong's reconnaissance had already made it clear that in Qixian County, apart from the Heidao Cavalry Regiment, there was only a squadron of gendarmerie with more than 150 people and a battalion of puppet troops with more than 350 people.
Yes, Li Yunlong wanted to capture the county seat by hunting rabbits, but there was a grain depot in the county seat, and there was probably ammunition reserves for the Black Island Cavalry Regiment.
Although there are only 500 Japanese and puppet troops left.
However, the new regiment does not have heavy siege artillery or howitzers, so if they attack by force for a while, they will definitely not be able to defeat them.
If we attack the city here, the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely be shaken.
As soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrive, they have no choice but to retreat.
The way to quickly capture the county town is to send a force pretending to be Japanese cavalry and rush all the way into the county town. The Japanese checkpoints will definitely not dare to stop them.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Lu Yingjun straightened up.
Li Yunlong added: "After the Sharp Sword detachment enters the city, the temporary cavalry battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion quickly move closer to the county seat and capture the county seat!"
"The attack time is tomorrow."
"Do you all understand your respective tasks?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Understood!"
Zhao Gang stood up and said: "I would like to add two more points. The first is that everyone must do a good job in keeping secrets and do not talk to the soldiers under the enemy for the time being. The second is that the enemy is likely to use poison gas bombs in this battle. The soldiers in the regiment
More than 1,200 gas masks will be distributed, and soldiers who have not received gas masks must prepare towels and garlic."
