Li Yunlong raised his hand to wipe away the blood splashed on his face, "Hey, it's quite hard!"

"Okay, okay, don't just watch the fun here, let me clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand, and at the greetings of the company commanders, the soldiers separated to clean the battlefield.

Li Yunlong picked up Captain Watanabe's command sword and said, "Monk, go look for it and see if there are any other command swords. Don't miss any of them!"

"Yes!" The monk began to search the Jaap's position, specifically looking for the Jaap's officers.

Huzi picked up Lieutenant Tanabe's command knife and followed Li Yunlong.

Throwing Captain Watanabe's command knife to Hu Zi for safekeeping, Li Yunlong raised his head and glanced around.

The battle lasted for nearly two hours. Even though his side had the advantage, the casualties were still high. Li Yunlong had some thoughts in his heart, "It seems that after returning, we need to strengthen training and reform new tactics!"

After all, when the army expands in the future and a large number of new soldiers join, the team's combat effectiveness will temporarily drop a lot, and the old methods are no longer very useful on our side.

Li Yunlong looked at it for a while and realized that the team's casualties should still be within the range he could bear.

Finding Liu Bo who was counting the number of wounded, Li Yunlong asked with concern, "First company commander, how are the casualties?!"

Liu Bo picked up his little notebook and said, "Reporting to the battalion commander, I just made statistics. This time, our three infantry companies had 42 killed and 64 lightly wounded. As for the artillery company, there were only three lightly wounded!"

Li Yunlong nodded and frowned a little, "Oh, the casualties are still quite heavy. I will lose money this time!"

This doesn’t even count the large amount of ammunition consumed!

I didn't feel it when I was playing just now, but now that I have calmed down, Li Yunlong felt a pain in his body when he saw the bullet casings all over the ground!

"No! I've never done such a loss-making business before! I have to make up for it elsewhere!"

Thinking of the little Japanese supplies and a light armored train at Yingdong Station, Li Yunlong immediately made a decision.

Without the cover of the infantry, for Li Yunlong, who now has the 753 artillery and bazooka, that light armored train is an iron coffin!

When he had an idea, he immediately executed it. Li Yunlong shouted again, "Zhang Dabiao! Huang Tianning!"

"arrive!"

When the two heard Li Yunlong's call, they immediately dropped the Jaap guns in their hands and ran over.

"How is the ammunition reserve of your two companies? Can it still support a battle?!"

Zhang Dabiao and Huang Tianning knew well about their company's ammunition reserves, and gave their answers without thinking too much.

"No problem, battalion commander! Our second company still has plenty of ammunition!"

"In addition to the excessive consumption of machine gun bullets, our third company still has a lot of other ammunition!"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao with satisfaction, "Okay! Dabiao, your second company performed well! It rushed the fastest, with the least consumption and casualties!"

"Haha, I will remember your success and share your Second Company's experience with everyone when I get back!"

After praising Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong began to issue a new task, "First company commander, your first company and artillery company will stay here to clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded, and then we will meet up in the valley where we arrived!"

"Da Biao, please contact the soldiers who are investigating at both ends of Yingdongji and ask them to observe the situation at the Yingdongji site!"

"The second and third companies gathered quickly and asked Wang Chengzhu to take a Qiwu mountain cannon and set off with the team. Let's fire another carbine and capture the Yingdongji site!"

"Execute the order!"

The order was issued, and under the shouts of Zhang Dabiao and Huang Tianning, the team began to gather again, ready to set off at any time.

Soon after, new news came from the radio station. No new Japanese reinforcements came. Only the light armored train stopped at the Yingdongji site.

At the site, the little devil found the villagers of Yingdongji and asked them to try their best to save the supplies that had not been burned.

"Haha, they can't run away!" Li Yunlong was so happy that he immediately informed the second and third companies to set off for Yingdongji.

Not long after, the team had walked out of the mountainous area again and arrived at the outskirts of the Yingdongji site.

"Second Company, Third Company, let me outflank it from both ends. Pillars, set up the cannons and blast the damn armored train!"

Li Yunlong's grand gesture was immediately discovered by the little Japs in Yingdongji.

After waiting for such a long time, originally thinking that there would be no more enemy attacks, the commander of the Little Devil Railway Search Team stopped the train.

At any rate, the boiler pressure had not been released yet. In the closed compartment, the commander shouted anxiously, "Reverse! Reverse! Haiyaku!!!"

The little devil pilot quickly opened the valve to provide power to the steam turbine.

At this time, Wu Ran, who was in the station, couldn't help but look at him. It seemed that the little devil who was chasing him was already in danger. Although Lieutenant Tanabe was not killed, he... "Humph! He was given an advantage!"

Since this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers was so powerful and thinking of the fellow villagers who were caught in the mines, Wu Ran made a decision.

After telling his third uncle and the others to hide, Wu Ran took advantage of the panic and no one noticed him, and quietly ran outside the site, where a truck happened to be parked, filled with coal pulled from the mine.

Wu Ran climbed into the truck, turned on the ignition, "Buzz...", stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the truck sped far away, and rushed to a railway gate outside the station with black smoke.

Wu Ran placed the loaded truck across the railway, twisted it hard, and blocked the keyhole with the broken key. He pulled the handbrake, pressed the brake with a stick, and then ran away.

Just as the light armored train picked up speed, the little devil inside realized that the back road was blocked.

The little devil could only let someone climb out of the train and run over to drive the truck away.

At the same time, the two 37mm rapid-fire cannons on the lightly armored train began to rotate their muzzles, and the shooting holes on the train also began to fire machine gun bullets.

But just such a delay allowed Wang Chengzhu to seize the opportunity, quickly adjust the muzzle, "Armor-piercing bullet!"

Taking a cannonball with its tip painted red, Wang Chengzhu quickly loaded it into the barrel and locked the breech.

"boom!"

One shot hit, and the armor was easily penetrated. The train's steam engine was damaged, a large amount of steam leaked out, and it lost power.

Seeing Wang Chengzhu's success with one shot, Li Yunlong shouted happily, "Zhuzhu, well done!"

"Keep bombing, blow it up for me, hahaha!"

Wang Chengzhu continued to adjust the muzzle and aimed at the rapid-fire gun turret on the train.

Only five rounds of armor-piercing bullets were used, and the 37mm rapid-fire gun turret of the Little Devil had been beaten into scrap metal.

At this time, the soldiers of the second company had arrived nearly 200 meters away from the armored train, and the Super Bazooka also joined the queue to beat the drowned dog.

The Super Bazooka, which is designed to deal with heavy tank armor, is no different from ordinary iron sheets against this little devil's armored train.

In just ten minutes, under the attack of the Qiwu Mountain Cannon and the Super Bazooka, the light armored train became a veritable iron coffin, the kind that was on fire.

The last remaining few Japs climbed out of the damaged carriage in a rage and charged, but were mowed down by the soldiers with several shots.

The Yingdongji site fell into the hands of Li Yunlong.
