Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 148 Can the Japanese also use empty city tactics? (Fixed)

 Let us switch our perspective back to the New Second Group.

When Zhang Dabiao led the cavalry of the 772nd Regiment to Li Yunlong, the correspondent fell off his horse in a hurry, and even sprained his feet when he landed on the ground because of the darkness.

 But the pain did not affect the soldier. He stood up and said loudly to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang in front of him:

“Captain Li! Hurry up and bring someone to help our 772nd Regiment! Our commander can’t stand it any longer!”

 After hearing this, Commander Li immediately handed the crowbar in his hand to the guard Hu Zi beside him. He was concerned about friendly forces, and without even asking about the specific situation, he said to the standby correspondent beside him:

“Notify the entire regiment to assemble! Everyone checks their weapons! Be ready to fight at any time! Hand over all the tools except the engineer shovel! Leave the task of destroying the railway to local troops and fellow villagers!”

“The whole regiment’s target is Lujiazhuang! March urgently! Support the 772nd Regiment.”

Although the New Second Regiment is only a basic regiment that has just been established, many soldiers have never seen the blood of the enemy.

However, after the rigorous training of Captain Li and Zhao Gang, if the soldiers' individual quality is just considered, they are no worse than some veterans of the preserved fruit troops, and there is no problem at all in obeying orders and prohibitions.

 The section of road they were on was between Yuci and Lujiazhuang. This is almost ten kilometers away from the location of the 772nd Regiment, and the fastest emergency march will take an hour.

Although Li Yunlong kept shouting that he wanted to fight, in his heart he really didn't want anything to happen to Cheng Xiazi. The two of them are comrades from the same class, and they are also each other's old squad leader.

Thinking of this, Lao Li, who is rough but fine, immediately called Sun Desheng.

 Obviously, the cavalry company commander of the new second regiment has already made preparations. When he appeared in front of Li Yunlong, followed by the entire company of soldiers, he looked like he was about to go to the battlefield.

"Commander! Don't worry! I know what you are thinking! Our cavalry company can set off now."

 Captain Li Da, who was marching in a hurry, nodded. At this moment, he realized the importance of an excellent subordinate. Sometimes, you can be in tune with each other even if you can't communicate.

However, before Sun Desheng set off, he still warned with some worry:

"If you arrive at the battlefield and find that the situation is irreversible, don't fight the enemy forcefully! Don't rush forward with the whole company in a hurry."

“At that time, the mission of our cavalry company was to rescue as many people as we could. The Japanese definitely didn’t have cavalry, so we had to give full play to our mobility advantage.”

"If the battlefield is very tense, you should follow the command of Commander Cheng. Pay attention to safety in all actions, and go!"

 After the exchange between the two, Li Yunlong immediately closed his mouth to prevent speaking from affecting his breathing rate.

 Sun Desheng set off immediately with more than a hundred warriors. This distance was not a concern for the carefully fed war horses, and there was no need to consider saving horsepower at all.

 An hour later, the New Second Regiment arrived at the outskirts of Lujiazhuang.

Although they have not yet reached the forward position, Li Yunlong, who is experienced in combat, can determine by hearing alone that the worst case scenario for the 772nd Regiment is to be evenly matched with the enemy.

Since there was no rush for reinforcements, Commander Li, who was very flirtatious, immediately ordered all the soldiers in the regiment to stay hidden, trying not to let the Japanese know that the Eighth Route Army was coming for reinforcements.

Facts have proved that Lao Li’s judgment was almost correct and even a little conservative.

 After experiencing the initial panic, Cheng Xiazi gradually calmed down. And the whole process went surprisingly smoothly, and they easily blocked the enemy in front of the trenches.

 At this time, the two sides on the battlefield were still exchanging fire. Generally speaking, the 772nd Regiment was still the dominant side, but the ammunition and casualties were higher than expected.

 Seeing that the friendly reinforcements finally arrived on the battlefield, the guards who had been waiting here for a long time immediately appeared and took Li Yunlong to the temporary headquarters of the 772nd Regiment.

Looking at Cheng Xiazi's face that was blackened by gunpowder smoke, Li Yunlong knew that the other party must have followed the soldiers in a charge just now. After all, he often did this.

"Lao Li, you're finally here. Damn it, I'm so unlucky today. I even farted on my heels. The mission was supposed to be over, but unexpectedly a large group of Japs showed up." "I really don't know where the enemy came from. Yes, aren't our troops all the way here? How can we send such a large military column here?"

"There is no other way to call for reinforcements. Although we can win, it will definitely become a war of attrition. I don't want to cause too many casualties to my soldiers because of such a bad place."

 Actually, the other troops cannot be blamed for this. It can only be said that Cheng Xiazi was not very lucky today.

Those so-called Japanese reinforcements are a group of retired logistics personnel preparing to return to the mainland from Taiyuan.

Most of them don’t even have a 38-meter cap. If it weren't for the arsenal in Lujiazhuang, I would have to fight with the 772nd Group with my belt in these small days.

Moreover, these devils lack training and most of them are disabled. Even if you pick up a gun, the combat effectiveness is very limited.

Just when Cheng Xiazi was describing the battlefield situation to himself, Li Yunlong chose a place with a wide field of vision and kept observing the battlefield with a telescope.

He knew that Cheng Xiazi was not trying to be brave. Although the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment were smaller in number than the Japanese, they made full use of the trenches left by the Japanese.

It's a pity that when the fortifications were first built, they were dug according to the standards of the brigade. Otherwise, there really wouldn't be enough room for a thousand people.

If the fight continues and the soldiers cooperate with the support of the artillery from the rear, it will only be a matter of casualties and time to capture this little group.

“What is the current casualty situation of the troops? How many soldiers are there in your regiment that can fight?”

Hearing these vague words of concern, Cheng Shifa pressed his ears in disbelief, as if to see if he had been hallucinated by the shell.

Li Yunlong now is no longer the low EQ person who ridiculed his brother troops in the original work.

At that time, in the Battle of Lijiapo, the 772nd Regiment, as the vanguard, did not attack smoothly, and the brigade commander replaced it under pressure.

Faced with the friendly forces that failed to attack and lost more than half of their troops, Li Yunlong simply took advantage and behaved.

Not only did he not keep a low profile and be honest, he also showed off his power in front of the soldiers, not caring that the 772nd Regiment also lost more than half of the Yamazaki Battalion.

Although on the battlefield, victory is victory and defeat is defeat. It is reasonable to only talk about victory or defeat and not to talk about human nature. After all, even 101 back then was said to have eaten foreign bread for a few years and would no longer be able to fight.

 But this kind of thing should be said according to the situation. In some cases, it is just no brainer.

 At that time, it will definitely hurt the feelings between the fraternal troops and affect the unity. Moreover, it damages the prestige of the army chief, which will affect Cheng Xiazi's command of the army to some extent in the future.

If Li Yunlong met Li Jiapo now, he would definitely pull Cheng Xiazi aside and curse him, and then lead his troops to demonstrate the correct attack method to the opponent.

This will not only convince the other party, but also give your old comrades a long memory.

But this is all for another day, and the current blind Cheng cannot be a waste. Under Huanghe's precautionary arrangements, Li Jiapo also had other ways to deal with it.

Although he was a little shocked by the change of the old squad leader, he still reported the situation truthfully.

“The casualties are not too serious. There are currently less than 200 people who have lost combat effectiveness. I just calculated that there are at least a thousand soldiers left to launch an attack.”

"Don't be too pretentious. I know you have a lot of clever ideas. Tell me what tactics you have. We can't delay this attack for too long. We'll be in trouble when the Japanese react."

Post it first and then correct it. There are hundreds of words that need to be corrected later. It’s my mistake, my mistake!
