Li Yunlong turned to look at Xie Xiaoming, "Fourth company commander, your fourth company is going to take over from the first company. This time your company has to defend our base, do you understand?!"
Xie Xiaoming opened his mouth, but finally obeyed the order, "Yes, the Fourth Company promises to complete the mission!"
Li Yunlong nodded, then looked at Huang Tianning and Wang Chengzhu, "The third company and the artillery company are also dispatched together."
"Zhuzi, this time bring two Qiwu Mountain Cannons with you, and carry a base number of shells."
Then, Li Yunlong looked at everyone and said, "If you understand, go back and notify the troops to prepare. I will notify the logistics team to prepare five days of rations."
"The time is set at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The troops will set off from Baiwanyu on time and arrive near Yingdongji on time the morning after tomorrow!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "Okay, let's all go back and get our teams ready!"
Everyone dispersed and returned to their respective teams, distributed ammunition and prepared luggage. The fourth company set off overnight and rushed to the mountain pass in the dark to take over the garrison work of the first company.
On the second day, at one o'clock in the afternoon, after receiving the rations, the troops were assembled. At Li Yunlong's order, the second company set off first, and then all other companies set off and headed west to Yingdongji.
Traveling all the way through mountains and ridges, they only rested for four hours in the wind-sheltered mountain forest at night. Finally, the team arrived at a hidden valley at around seven o'clock in the morning.
The team is temporarily resting in hiding here, while the Second Company, acting as the vanguard, is on guard and defense on the outside.
Li Yunlong took the kettle from Wei Dayong's hand, took a sip, and drank the steamed bun in his mouth.
"Haha, monk, go tell the second company commander to bring a squad, and then call the artillery company commander. Let's check the terrain first!"
After a while, Wei Dayong completed the notification, and Zhang Dabiao led an investigation team to find Li Yunlong with Wang Chengzhu.
Zhang Dabiao persuaded, "Battalion Commander, we can just go. You and your team can wait here for news about us!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, turned around and left. Wei Dayong and Hu Zi followed behind him, "No, I have to see for myself. Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"
Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu quickly led people to follow.
The group of people walked along the valley for three or four miles in twists and turns, then climbed over several hills, and finally climbed up a hill, and finally saw the thin Tongpu Railway in the distance.
After walking more than two miles northeast along the mountain ridge, Li Yunlong and the others hid in a bush halfway up the mountain, and finally saw Yingdongji not far from the foot of the mountain and the small station outside the village.
At exactly this time, a military column loaded with supplies docked at the site.
Li Yunlong and the others could clearly see through the binoculars that there were almost a hundred little Japs in the site, plus some puppet troops responsible for maintaining public order and supervising the workers, so the defense force was not large.
There are only a few machine gun fortifications around the site. The biggest threat is the armored carriages at the front and rear of the military train, which are full of machine gun perforations and two rapid-fire turrets.
In the past, if you wanted to attack such a site and military column, you had to mobilize the whole regiment. If you got close and relied on explosive packs to win, it would cost huge casualties.
But now, the tactics have changed. Li Yunlong called Wang Chengzhu and pointed to the very gentle hilltop on one side, "Zhuzhu, take a look, if you build an artillery position from the top of the hill over there, can it hit the military columns at the station?" !”
Wang Chengzhu carefully observed the distance and angle, "Batalion Commander, it's absolutely fine to use mortars!"
Li Yunlong no longer cares about the supplies on the Japs train. Now that he has enough ammunition, it's time to use new tactics. "Okay, then use mortars to bombard this site directly!"
In this way, there is no need to worry about being flanked by the Japs' reinforcements, and... hum, Li Yunlong grinned, as long as the Japs reinforcements are not coming from a large group, "I have a good appetite now, so I'm afraid you won't come!"
Obviously, Li Yunlong had the idea of little Japanese reinforcements again.
As long as the station is bombarded here, a company of troops will be placed in front, and the attack will be carried out. We are not afraid that the reinforcements of the little devil will not be fooled, and then we will lure the soldiers deeper and let the little devil have a taste of the freshly baked Qiwu Mountain Cannon shells!
Having made up his mind, Li Yunlong retreated, "Let's go back and find a good place so that we can give the little devil a big gift!"
The group returned to the mountains, and Li Yunlong took Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu to carefully select a suitable ambush location.
After only climbing over one mountain, Li Yunlong and the others happened to be on a mountain ridge. Below was a relatively narrow valley, running north to south, about thirty to forty meters wide and more than two miles long.
At first glance, the hillside below and the hillside opposite are very steep. You can only climb with your hands and feet against the rock wall. The southern end of the valley is the entrance, and the valley becomes narrower as you go north. Finally, the mountains on both sides merge into one. Forming a sharp inverted triangle steep slope.
Li Yunlong looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but feel happy, "Hey, it's a good place to bury someone!"
As long as the troops acting as bait withstand the attack and the troops behind prick the hole, a pocket will be formed.
Then put the Qiwu Mountain Cannon at the back, with the little devil sandwiched in the middle, just waiting to be bombed!
Of course, all this will depend on the specific situation and whether the little devil will fulfill his wish of Li Yunlong.
This time, the backpack radio and individual infantry talkie brought came in handy.
After choosing the ambush location, Li Yunlong and his party returned to the small valley where the team was hidden.
Li Yunlong checked the time. There were almost three hours left, and the next military train might arrive at the station.
Li Yunlong quickly arranged his tactics, "Zhuzi, your artillery company sent four mortars to follow the first company, responsible for bombarding the military columns at Yingdong Station!"
"First company commander, I will also transfer the mortars from the second and third companies to you. The two mortars from your first company will also be responsible for shelling the military columns. Then you will be responsible for the feint attack site. You can keep some for me and the little devil. Time to call for reinforcements!”
"You bring a radio station and wait for my orders at any time!"
As he spoke, Li Yunlong squatted down and used stones and branches to create a simple route on the ground. "Here, if everything goes well, you will cover the artillery battery along this road, pretend to be defeated, and lead the pursuing Japs." Come in here!"
"Then stay put and withstand the little devil's attack!"
Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and Huang Tianning again, "You two companies and three companies must use the fastest speed to block the escape route of the little devil!"
"Then let's close the door and beat the dog. I'll set up two 75 mountain cannons and blast the dog with all its strength!"
"If you have a chance, turn around and give me that site too!"
Finally, Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and said, "Second Company Commander, you send a few people, divided into two waves, each with a radio station, along the Tongpu Railway, guarding five kilometers away from both ends of Yingdongji, and sending out the reinforcements of the little Japanese. Please report any movements immediately!"
If there are unexpectedly many reinforcements from the Japs and they don't divide the troops, then the ambush mission will be canceled and we'll run away after the bombing.
"Hmph", as long as there are not many Japs or they attack separately, Li Yunlong will be welcome!
