Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

Chapter 228 Group Battle 6

Xingjiazhuang.

Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong quietly walked into the room. Seeing that the lights were on, he felt a little guilty.

"Monk, go back and rest first."

As he said that, he took the roast chicken from Wei Dayong's hand.

"Captain."

Wei Dayong looked at the roast knife and roast chicken in Li Yunlong's hand, swallowed his saliva, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong pushed Wei Dayong and said, "Next time, I'll treat you to a meal next time."

"Okay, Captain, you have to keep your word!"

Wei Dayong nodded, and left the yard, looking back every few steps.

With a creak, Li Yunlong opened the door, passed the main room, and came to the inner room.

He saw Zhao Gang sitting on the bed, looking at him seriously.

"Hey, Lao Zhao hasn't slept yet!"

Li Yunlong walked over with a smile and put the roast chicken and roast knife on the table.

"It just so happens that I bought some roast chicken and some wine. Let's drink together and talk about my intelligence gathering."

"Comrade Li Yunlong!"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong seriously and said, "As a regiment commander, how can you go to the enemy camp to gather intelligence by yourself?"

"You are disregarding the safety of the entire group by doing this. This is a serious mistake."

"Oh, I'm just worried about other people!"

Li Yunlong walked over and pulled Zhao Gang up: "I promise, this won't happen again."

"Hey...."

Zhao Gang sighed, "You said it yourself, this won't happen again. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"no problem."

Li Yunlong patted his chest and promised: "If there is a next time, you can go directly to the brigade commander and report me. I will never say a word."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang calmed down. Looking at the roast chicken on the table, he went up and pulled out a chicken leg and started to eat it.

"I've been worried all day, so I won't be polite to you."

"Eat it, and I'll give you two chicken legs!"

Li Yunlong poured a glass of wine with a smile, took a sip, and preached.

"Today, Wei Dayong and I went to Xiwenzhuang Township to check. There are three checkpoints, five bunkers, and one stronghold from where we are."

"There is a large group of Japanese soldiers in Xiwenzhuang Township, and about 600 Imperial Army soldiers. They are defending very tightly, with light and heavy weapons, and anti-aircraft guns."

"The entire perimeter is completely unobstructed, and there isn't even a three-meter-tall tree."

"The defense is tight, so be it!"

Zhao Gang waved his hand indifferently: "You take your men and long-range rockets, take the mountain road, find a random hilltop, and shoot at the airport."

"Anyway, the range is long, so you can just shoot and run. Why worry about the Japanese catching you?"

After saying that, Zhao Gang suddenly reacted: "I say, don't mess around!"

"The brigade commander only asked you to bomb the airport, not attack it."

"Not calling the airport?"

Li Yunlong took a bite of chicken and said vaguely: "If we don't attack the airport, then my reconnaissance will be in vain, right?"

"It's just a waste of time!"

Zhao Gang handed Li Yunlong a chicken wing and persuaded him earnestly.

"If you secretly dispatch troops to attack Xiwenzhuang Township, if the brigade commander finds out, you will be scolded again!"

"Hi!"

Li Yunlong took the chicken wing and took a bite: "You don't understand, let me tell you, in fact, attacking Xiwenzhuang Township also has the meaning of a brigade commander!"

"What does the Brigadier General mean?"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong in confusion.

"You think so!"

Li Yunlong put down the chicken bone and patiently explained: "Now in our brigade, each regiment has a mission, and only our New 1st Regiment has been left behind."

"If it's just to bomb an airport, you can just send a guerrilla team. Why do you have to specifically ask me, the regiment commander, to do it?"

"Makes sense!"

Zhao Gang nodded thoughtfully: "Then why didn't the brigade commander just give the order?"

"Give a direct order?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Attacking Xiwenzhuang Township was not in our plan. It is close to Taiyuan."

"If we are not careful, we will be easily surrounded by the Japanese army."

"So the brigade commander has given me the choice. If there is a chance, I will fight. If there is no chance, forget it."

"real or fake?"

Zhao Gang was a little bit unconvinced. This matter was not something shameful, and the brigade commander should not mean this!

"It's absolutely true!"

Li Yunlong patted his chest and assured: "I have been with the brigade commander for many years. I understand what he means best."

"That's fine."

Seeing that what Li Yunlong said was sincere, Zhao Gang could only agree half-believingly.

.............

The next morning, Li Yunlong called all the battalion commanders to a meeting.

"Everyone, without further ado, our target this time is this, Xiwenzhuang Township."

“Hit the airport!”

All the battalion commanders present had experienced being bombed by planes flying out of Taiyuan Airport, and they became excited at the moment.

"Captain, this time it's our battalion's turn to lead the main attack, right?"

Zhang Dabiao stood up and said.

"Don't worry, there will be work this time!"

Li Yunlong pointed to Xiwenzhuang Township on the map and said, "Our goal this time is to completely erase Xiwenzhuang Township from the map."

Two days later, Zhang Dabiao set out with a battalion ahead, to open up the situation for the troops behind.

"Remember, if you encounter the Japanese, cut the telephone lines first, then bombard them directly with flat-fire artillery. We cannot stay in each bunker for more than 40 minutes!"

Zhang Dabiao gave instructions to the company commanders.

"Don't worry, Captain. It's just a bunker. We can take it down in 20 minutes at most."

The company commander replied nonchalantly.

Soon the first battalion encountered the first Japanese bunker.

The company commander was not polite either. He ordered the signalman to cut the telephone line, then took out three flat-fire cannons and fired six rapid rounds at the bunker.

The Japanese soldiers in the bunker suffered heavy losses before they could react to what was happening.

“Charge!!”

The company captain picked up his shotgun and rushed out first.

After a moment, the company continued to move forward, leaving behind a trail of ruins.

Thirty minutes later, Li Yunlong arrived with a large force.

Looking at the ruins on the ground, Li Yunlong preached to the communications soldier beside him.

"Tell the villagers to be careful and stay away from the ruins to avoid any accidents."

"Yes."

From a distance, you can see a long dragon of carts appearing on the road.

This time, Li Yunlong gathered all the carts and livestock in the defense zone, vowing to empty Xiwenzhuang Township and not leave a single hair for the Japanese.
