Zheng Xirong, Monk Wei and others could not stop so many Japanese soldiers and watched them rush into the village.
Xu Dalong also followed Sun Desheng and others in rushing toward the Japanese artillery and heavy equipment, focusing on the Japanese artillery. They were worried that the Japanese would blow up the artillery in a critical moment.
The Japanese artillerymen saw the Eighth Route Army rushing over. They hurriedly set up their artillery, but Xu Dalong knocked them to the ground one by one.
Seeing the critical situation, the Japanese artillery squad leader hurriedly directed the remaining artillery to blow up the Type 92 infantry cannon.
Xu Dalong stared closely at the two Type 92 infantry cannons. When he saw the Japanese raising grenades to blow up the cannons, he hurriedly killed them one by one.
The Japanese squad leader became anxious. He grabbed a grenade and knocked it on his helmet. He hugged a Type 92 infantry cannon and stuffed the grenade into the barrel.
Xu Dalong shot over and hit the Japanese squad leader in the back. The Japanese squad leader was extremely brave. He shook his body, gritted his teeth, and continued to stuff the grenade into the barrel.
With a bang, a Type 92 infantry gun was scrapped.
Xu Dalong was trembling with pain. He stared closely at the last remaining Type 92 infantry cannon and shot them one by one, knocking down all the Japanese soldiers who tried to get close to the cannon.
Sun Desheng led the brothers of the cavalry company to rush forward and annihilated all the remaining artillery and baggage troops of the Japanese army.
After the acting captain of the Japanese army led the remaining soldiers into the village, they immediately deployed defenses.
The Japanese soldiers quickly used walls and roofs as cover to form blocking positions.
After the acting captain counted the number of people, his face was gloomy. He really could not have imagined that an elite infantry brigade of the majestic Japanese Yellow Army would be attacked by less than a hundred enemies, and now only 515 people are left.
, and also lost the artillery squad and all the baggage.
He knew that the mission to Lijiapo could not be completed, and the top priority was to protect the remaining men of the brigade from being eaten by the enemy.
He called the communications troops and sent a telegram to his superiors, requesting tactical guidance.
At this time, the battle in Lijiapo was over. Their superiors ordered them to immediately separate from the Eighth Route Army and turn toward Lincheng. Their superiors would immediately notify reinforcements to pick them up.
The Japanese army is one of the most shameless armies in the world. They are clearly retreating, but they call it an advance.
The acting captain did not dare to lose the defensive position that was finally found, so he sent a telegram to his superiors, saying that they would stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
When Sun Desheng saw the Japanese retreating into the small village, he said excitedly: "Brother Dalong, let's rush up and kill them."
Today's battle was so exciting that Sun Desheng was so confident that he completely ignored the remaining Japanese troops.
As a commander, Xu Dalong must keep abreast of the overall situation of the battle. He saw that the Japanese army had entered the village. If they carried out offensive operations, their guerrilla tactics would not work, and they would be at a disadvantage in terms of strength and firepower.
Moreover, there are a large number of Japanese and puppet troops in Lincheng, which is less than 30 kilometers away from here. It won't take long for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive.
Xu Dalong decided to stop as soon as possible. He asked Sun Desheng to lead the cavalry to collect the captured weapons and ammunition. He led the special service platoon to continue to monitor the Japanese army and cover the cavalry company to retreat first.
The Japanese captain watched helplessly as the Eighth Route Army retreated from the battlefield, but he did not have the courage to go out and pursue them.
After confirming that the Eighth Route Army had evacuated, they also left the village and turned towards Lincheng.
The battle was over. The special service platoon and the cavalry company sacrificed 2 people and injured 7 people, leaving the Japanese army with 585 corpses, including the Japanese battalion commander Hirata Lieutenant Colonel.
Xu Dalong and others captured one Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, three 60mm mortars, two crooked machine guns, 425 rifles, and several other supplies. It was a great victory.
In order not to worry Li Yunlong and others, Xu Dalong sent Wang Xiaohu Pegasus to Li Jiapo to report.
After Wang Xiaohu finished his report, there was another silence in the headquarters, with shocked looks on people's faces.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie were all excited and proud.
After a moment, the boss shook his fist in the air and said, "That's great! With a small force of less than a hundred people and less than ten casualties, they defeated a complete Japanese infantry brigade.
, wiped out more than half of the Japanese army. This is really an amazing miracle."
The division commander has always been steady. At this moment, he was also a little excited and said: "Our soldiers are really creative. They can use guerrilla warfare to a superb level. This kind of experience must be recognized and promoted."
The boss said: "We must ask Xu Dalong to come to the headquarters. I want to hear his report in person."
After coming out of the headquarters, Li Yunlong looked sad and said: "Old Zhao, this time is terrible. If Xu Dalong comes to the headquarters, he will definitely be detained."
Zhao Gang has an overall view of the situation. Although he is reluctant to part with Xu Dalong, if a talent like Xu Dalong can be placed in a higher position, he will be able to play his role better.
Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, if the superior leaders can reuse Xu Dalong, that is also the glory of our independent group."
Li Yunlong said dissatisfiedly: "Old Zhao, what can I say about you? It seems that you are also a prodigal."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Old Li, you, it's just the dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory."
Kong Jie was not under so much pressure. He even gloated a little because he was no longer a member of the independent group. If the head of the headquarters could transfer Xu Dalong, it would save Li Yunlong from having to worry about it. He smiled and said: "I think the political commissar
You're right, Lao Li, you are just a petty person and have no overall perspective."
Li Yunlong was getting angry and said: "You idiot Kong Er, don't gloat about your misfortune. You just raised your tail when you were reinstated."
Next, the headquarters held a commendation meeting for the Lijiapo battle. The independent regiment received a collective commendation. The special service platoon and the cavalry company collectively received a great merit award. Xu Dalong personally recorded a special merit award. Sun Desheng personally recorded a great merit award. Zheng Xirong, Wei Monk, Wang Xiaohu and others all received special awards.
I remember my military exploits.
Before the commendation ceremony began, the brigade commander personally sent a correspondent to Yangcun, where the independent regiment was based, and asked Xu Dalong to take the special service platoon to the headquarters to report.
As a result, Xu Dalong was still not called this time because Xu Dalong had already gone to Taiyuan and he wanted to help Wang Xinmin rescue his fiancée.
Li Yunlong was so happy when he heard the news that he smiled from ear to ear: "Xu Dalong is a smart guy. When I get back, I want to find him and have a good drink with him."
Zhao Gang was also very happy. To tell the truth, he felt very uncomfortable if Xu Dalong was really asked to leave the Independent Group.
He said: "That's fine, doesn't the head of the headquarters want to summarize Xu Dalong's combat experience? I will help him do this, and then I will just give the materials to the head of the headquarters."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were preparing to return to their base with the independent regiment. Kong Jie also followed them back to Yangcun because he had to go back for handover.
At this moment, the brigade commander sent someone to call the three of them over.
Li Yunlong began to worry again. He said: "The brigade commander asked us to go there for no good reason. He must be keeping an eye on the weapons and ammunition we seized. The three of us have to cooperate well. I will play the bad guy and you will play the red face. How much can we save?"
How much does it count?”
Zhao Gang agreed with Li Yunlong's opinion, and he also hoped to leave more wealth for the independent group.
Kong Jie didn't think so. He thought to himself: "I also made a lot of money in the independent group. Before I leave this time, I have to make a fortune no matter what. I can't take advantage of this kid Li Yunlong."
He agreed with his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking about how to tell the brigade commander to let him take away part of the seizure.
After meeting the brigade commander, the brigade commander was not polite. He said bluntly: "Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, this battle was not fought by your unit alone. The 70th Regiment, 71st Regiment, 69th Regiment, and the New 2nd Regiment are directly under the brigade headquarters.
All the troops and other troops participated in this battle, and the weapons and ammunition you captured must be handed over. Of course, some of them will be distributed to you."
Li Yunlong immediately said: "That's not possible. If our independent regiment hadn't traveled hundreds of miles and arrived in time during this battle, the Japanese Okazaki Brigade would have escaped long ago. Where could we seize those weapons and ammunition? No matter what, we would have to
Share a little more.
Let’s do this, let’s take half of it and hand it over to the brigade headquarters, which is a lot.”
The brigade commander said: "You kid, don't do this. Without the participation of other troops, we can't defeat the Japanese Okazaki Brigade. There are five regiment-level units participating in the battle this time, so let's divide it into five parts."
Li Yunlong said unconvinced: "Brigadier, this is inappropriate, isn't it the same as an open robbery? The weapons and ammunition are all seized by us, so we have to take the bulk no matter what. Why should we share it equally with them?"
Kong Jie knew that Li Yunlong always took more and more. If he could follow the brigade commander's wishes, the New Second Regiment could also get one-fifth of this batch of weapons.
So he said: "Speaking of Lao Li, I think the brigade commander is right. This battle is not only the credit of our independent regiment. Without the cooperation of our brother troops, we would not have achieved such a great achievement.
This time the headquarters has given our independent regiment the honor of reporting and commending, so don’t worry about these weapons and ammunition.”
Li Yunlong's eyes immediately widened, and he said: "Kong Er, I don't know what you think? You are no longer a member of our independent group. This is to give your new group a little more. You
What the hell are you holding in, don’t I know yet? You’re still here singing a high note.”
Not to be outdone, Kong Jie glared and said: "I say Li Yunlong, you kid, don't be ungrateful. You didn't fight this battle alone. I must have contributed a lot to it. Why do you get all the benefits?"
?”
The brigade commander knew that Li Yunlong had this kind of virtue, but he had a way to deal with Li Yunlong. He said: "Okay, don't make any noise.
Li Yunlong, our Eighth Route Army has discipline, and these weapons and ammunition from Okazaki Brigade must be handed over. If you are not willing, we have to talk about the weapons and ammunition that your independent regiment seized from Hirata Brigade. I heard that
You also captured the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, shouldn't you also hand it over to the brigade headquarters?"
Li Yunlong was immediately frightened when he heard this. You must know that the weapons and ammunition from the Pingtian Brigade that Xu Dalong and the others had captured were now in the hands of the Independent Regiment, far away from the brigade headquarters. He must keep them all to himself.
The most important thing is that when the Okazaki brigade was destroyed, the two Type 92 infantry cannons they carried were blown up by the Japanese artillery. Xu Dalong and the others captured a complete Type 92 infantry cannon.
It cannot be handed over.
He hurriedly said: "Brigadier, you are being unreasonable. It is true that our independent regiment did not kill the Okazaki brigade, so it makes sense for you to ask us to hand it over. But this Hirata brigade was all fought by our independent regiment.
Isn’t it too much to hand in this too?”
The brigade commander smiled and said: "Why, you are now asked to hand over the weapons and ammunition of the Okazaki Brigade. Do you agree?"
Li Yunlong pretended to be distressed, sighed, and said: "The official level is crushing people to death. Your brigade commander has given an order. Do I dare to disobey?"
"Haha, hahaha!" the brigade commander laughed and said: "Li Yunlong, Kong Jie is right, your boy's problem of eating too much and occupying too much needs to be corrected. Okay! This batch of Okazaki Brigade
Don't even keep a fifth of the weapons and ammunition, hand them over.
This time, in order to commend your independent regiment, the weapons and ammunition from the Hirata Brigade will all belong to you."
In fact, this was what Li Yunlong had in mind. He deliberately tried to be pretentious about the weapons and ammunition they seized from the Okazaki Brigade, just to prevent the brigade commander from thinking about the weapons and ammunition they had seized from the Hirata Brigade.
Now that he had achieved his goal, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Then it's settled, thank you, Mr. Brigadier."
After hearing this, Kong Jie felt that he had been tricked by Li Yunlong again. He knew very well that Li Yunlong would definitely monopolize the weapons and ammunition from the Hirata Brigade. However, he could use the weapons and ammunition from the Okazaki Brigade for the New Second Regiment.
, if you catch a part of it, you will be satisfied.
When talking about the distribution of weapons and ammunition, Zhao Gang remained silent. After all, he was a newcomer and did not have the qualifications to be in front of the brigade commander. Moreover, he found that whether it was the brigade commander, Li Yunlong, or Kong Jie, each one
They are very smart, and if you are not careful, you will be fooled by them.
After the independent regiment handed over the weapons and ammunition of the Okazaki Brigade, it then returned to Yangcun, where the independent regiment was based.
After Kong Jie handed over the work, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and cadres above the battalion held a banquet to see Kong Jie off.
The Independent Group was led by Kong Jie single-handedly. Needless to say, he was sentimental. He was a little sad and drank a lot of wine.
Kong Jie said to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, no matter what, you asked your superiors to keep me in the independent regiment as deputy commander. This time you set up a stage again and asked me to sing a song about the annihilation of the Okazaki Brigade.
Taiwanese drama, now that the official has been reinstated, I still want to thank you. Come on, let me toast you."
Li Yunlong clinked glasses with Kong Jie. After drinking, he smiled and said: "Old Kong, you have many things to thank me for. Old Zhao, come and tell him."
Zhao Gang took out a list, handed it to Kong Jie, and said: "Captain Kong, in fact, Lao Li will never forget the friendship between brothers. Your new second regiment has only been established for a short time and has a small family background. He discussed with me
, you will receive a portion of the weapons and ammunition seized by Xu Dalong."
Kong Jie glanced at Li Yunlong in surprise, wondering how this boy could be so generous today? He took the list and read it.
The list read: two mortars, two crooked machine guns, two Czech light machine guns, one hundred Hanyang-made and Type 38 rifles, one telescope, and five thousand rounds of various bullets.
Kong Jie didn't expect that Li Yunlong would be so generous. He was really touched, and his eyes were red. He didn't want to owe others favors, but the New Second Regiment really needed these weapons and ammunition, so he was not so tough. The most important thing is
What's more, he is really grateful to Li Yunlong.
He said: "Lao Li, don't say anything anymore. If the Independent Regiment needs something from our New Second Regiment, just say something. I, Lao Kong, will come to help even if my life depends on it."
Kong Jie left, taking away the batch of weapons and ammunition. He was very satisfied, but also a little regretful. He did not see Xu Dalong before leaving.
