Having almost eaten two Japanese squadrons and a pseudo-legion in one bite, for Li Yunlong, the good show tonight had just begun.
When commanding the artillery battery and advancing in order towards the medium-sized stronghold closest to the base of the New Second Regiment, Li Yunlong smiled confidently at the political commissar Zhao Gang beside him:
"Old Zhao, you said that these little Japanese and puppet soldiers were so frightened by our old suspects that they hid in the stronghold and were afraid to come out. And they listened to the direction of the north mountain road. Let's destroy the Japanese and puppet soldiers coming from the county. With the sound of fighting, are these Japanese and puppet soldiers panicking?"
“Will someone be so scared that they wet their pants?”
Zhao Gangle said: "I am definitely afraid. They are surrounded by our troops, and the Japanese and puppet troops who came to support from the county have been wiped out. If they were not trapped in a heavy siege, the Japanese and puppet troops in this stronghold might even choose get away."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Old Zhao, do you believe it or not? There are more than a dozen Japanese strongholds in our peripheral area, large and small. Just tonight, within two hours, I have removed them all."
Zhao Gang said worriedly: "Old Li, is your appetite too big? Originally, we came here to eliminate these two Japanese squadrons, but now it's good that you are planning to build these strongholds."
Li Yunlong said: "If we want to do it, let's do it with the big ticket. This time we easily defeated the two squadrons of the Japs and the puppet army. The Japs will definitely send more troops to garrison in the future. Tonight is the best time for us to remove these strongholds." .”
"Old Zhao, look at this. We, Old Li, have been learning cultural knowledge from you for more than half a year. We didn't learn it in vain."
"Tonight, we, Lao Li, will give you a move that will shock the tiger and scare the tiger away!"
Li Yunlong used two idioms in a row, which really made Zhao Gang, a teacher, very happy.
Zhang Dabiao on the side still hadn't recovered, and asked: "Captain, what do you mean by knocking on the mountain to frighten the tiger, or striking the grass to frighten the snake?"
Li Yunlong raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Dabiao, and said: "Dabiao, if you are fine, you need to strengthen your cultural studies. It is terrible to be uneducated these days."
As he spoke, he patted his belly and continued: "We, Lao Li, are literate now, and our belly is full of ink."
"What do you mean by knocking on the mountain to frighten the tiger, or to scare away the grass and scare the snake? It's simple. Why did I order the artillery battery to be pulled over? It was for this purpose.
Let's knock down his enemy's strongholds one by one from the inside out.
Just use our offensive artillery to hit them. The Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold will either choose to die or surrender.
I will arrange for the captured puppet army officers to persuade them to surrender. With the cooperation of artillery, it will not be difficult to capture the stronghold. "
"The difficulty is that there are more than a dozen strongholds, large and small. It would take too much time for us to defeat them one by one, and we can't bear the loss of artillery shells."
"That's why we came up with this method of knocking down the mountain and shaking the tiger. Let's hit the stronghold in front with artillery. The Japanese are sure that we will use the artillery to push all the way across."
"Will the Japanese and puppet troops who follow up know that they cannot hold their stronghold, will they still choose to hold on? I will leave the retreat path for them, and the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely have to run back."
"This is called artillery blasting strongholds, scaring away paper tigers, and driving away stupid snakes."
"As for the retreating Japanese and puppet troops, there is no gain in defeating them. It is just a waste of ammunition. Just arrange a few ambushes on the way."
"What I'm interested in is the supplies, equipment, and ammunition that the little devils in the strongholds have hoarded in large quantities. There are more than a dozen strongholds. If we knock them all down at once, how much materials can be seized here?"
After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao suddenly understood and was filled with admiration. The regiment leader was indeed different from before. Since he started to learn cultural knowledge, not only was he as experienced in command as before, but his tactical analysis was also clear-cut.
Zhao Gang also lamented that this method is absolutely feasible.
Use the least cost, the smallest consumption of artillery shells and soldiers to scare away the Japanese and puppet troops and obtain the most supplies.
Lao Li's conducting art is becoming more and more sophisticated now.
"If I don't study for one day, I can't compare to that kid Ding Wei. If I don't study for two days, I can't beat that idiot Kong Er. We, Li Yunlong, have to be a cultural person in the future!"
There is no harm without contrast.
Ever since Zhao Gang told Li Yunlong that Lao Kong has changed so much, it may be related to his continuous study of cultural knowledge. Even though Lao Li was unwilling to write with a pen, he began to grit his teeth and study hard.
In the words of Lao Li after he later achieved some success in his studies.
"Our old Li is born to fight. He has never been to a military school, he doesn't know a few Chinese characters, and his military art and military books are nonsense. But no matter what, our old Li can win battles and beat him to the point where he's a little devil. Call."
"After reading the book of war, we became more and more sure that our old Li is a fucking genius!"
"Why? Because what is written in the Art of War, hehe, is really what we, Lao Li, used when we fought."
"We knew before that we should fight like this to defeat the little Japanese. Now we finally understand why we can defeat the little Japanese by fighting like this."
"It's really interesting to learn the art of war. No one who has ever been on the battlefield can train a person to become a knowledgeable general."
"We are studying after learning from the general. The effect will be even better."
…
Later, as Li Yunlong's cultural studies continued to deepen, even the cadres and soldiers of the New Second Regiment gradually noticed the changes in the regiment leader.
Fragments of words such as "f*ck" and "I" gradually became less frequent.
What will replace it?
Hearing that there was a fight between soldiers in the regiment, Li Yunlong reprimanded him like this, "I said you two were born as cucumbers, so why don't you take a shot? If you have such ability, can't you use it on little devils? Let you learn more about culture when you are fine." I am a gentleman who talks a lot but doesn't take action. Look at you two, you are already doing something. You are a bastard. It will be embarrassing even if you say it."
Zhao Gang is not allowed to drink anymore, this is what Li Yunlong said.
"Old Zhao, a small drink is a pleasure, but a big drink is harmful to the body. A gentleman drinks wine in a wise way. Drinking is also a kind of self-cultivation, as well as a kind of artistic conception and learning. How can you stop me?"
"Li Taibai said it well. If you enjoy cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, you need to drink three hundred cups at a time. We Lao Li don't have the capacity for three hundred cups, so we just drink three or two cups. You still have to control this. It’s so uninteresting.”
At that time, Zhao Gang was speechless for a moment.
There was even some doubt in my heart. Is it right to urge Lao Li to learn culture?
Another time, the brigade commander called and said that he had received news that a unit was attacking a Japanese stronghold without asking for instructions, and asked Li Yunlong if it was a good thing he had done.
Lao Li was unjustly accused at that time. He said aggrievedly on the phone: "Old brigade commander, after three days, I have to look at you with admiration. You can't march as a cook..."
"What?"
"Let us, Lao Li, take the blame, right?"
"..."
It is said that on the other end of the phone at that time, the brigade commander's mouth was half open and he did not close it for a long time.
After a while, he turned around and asked, "Political Commissar, did I hear you correctly? Did those words just come out of the mouth of that bastard Li Yunlong?"
The political commissar nodded.
The brigade commander sighed, "This world is changing so fast!"
…
Back in front of me, Lao Li, who realized that "you will only know the magic when you use the book", after talking about the tactics of "knocking on the mountain to frighten the tiger, and striking the grass to frighten the snake", he realized more and more that learning culture is so damn effective.
The next battle proceeds step by step.
After Kong Jie established an artillery battery in the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong also established an artillery battery in the New Second Regiment, showing his edge for the first time.
The artillery fired horizontally, and three rounds of artillery directly destroyed the masonry structure turrets in the Japanese stronghold. More than ten Japanese and puppet troops were directly buried by the collapsed turrets.
Zhang Dabiao then sent someone with a loudspeaker to shout into the stronghold.
The dozen or so puppet army officers captured by Li Yunlong also shouted to the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold.
In alarmist words, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold learned that the Donglun Taoshui and Ito squadrons had been wiped out.
More than a dozen artillery pieces from the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army were set up around the stronghold. Those who refused to surrender would only die.
In the dozen or so large and small strongholds around here, most of the Japanese troops have fewer troops than the puppet troops.
Under the coercion of the New Second Regiment, the puppet troops thought of surrendering, and the Japanese suddenly panicked.
Then, the artillery battery of the New Second Regiment continued to advance after easily capturing several Japanese strongholds.
The Japanese and puppet troops in surrounding strongholds also quickly received communications and learned that the New Second Regiment troops were continuing to advance, using attack artillery to pull out the gun towers one by one.
The immovable turrets and masonry buildings seemed to be in a daze under the bombardment of the infantry artillery. They could not withstand it for long. If they stayed in the stronghold, they would only be caught in the urn.
It is even more unreliable to hold on to the stronghold and wait for reinforcements from the county town. By the time the reinforcements from the county town arrive, the body will probably be cold.
The Japanese and puppet troops looked towards the back roads of the surrounding strongholds. At some point, a large number of Eighth Route Army figures who had been under the night had disappeared. The retreat direction seemed to have been specially reserved by the Eighth Route Army.
Overjoyed, the Japanese and puppet troops could not think too much. After confirming that there were indeed no Eighth Route Army troops in the direction of their retreat, they hurriedly withdrew from their stronghold and moved toward the county seat behind them.
Due to the hasty evacuation, some of the supplies, equipment, ammunition, etc. stored in the stronghold were captured by the soldiers of the New Second Regiment who rushed up immediately before the Japanese had time to destroy them.
Just like this, after Li Yunlong ordered the soldiers to draw up their posture and advance horizontally, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold faced infantry cannons one after another and did not dare to hesitate at all and retreated without fighting.
It took less than an hour. Just as Li Yunlong said, more than a dozen small and medium-sized strongholds were easily captured one after another as the Japanese and puppet troops took the initiative to evacuate.
The soldiers quickly invaded the stronghold and seized the supplies, equipment, and ammunition that the Japanese had hoarded in the stronghold. When evacuating, they blew up the gun towers and various buildings in the Japanese stronghold with grenades, and then burned them directly with fire. .
As for the Japanese and puppet troops who withdrew from their strongholds and fled, they were ambushed by soldiers on the way and were almost defeated in a panic.
The soldiers took advantage of the darkness to pursue them all the way, while the Japanese and puppet soldiers fled all the way, without any fighting spirit.
During the pursuit, militia comrades from some villages along the way jumped out to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops and coordinate the soldiers of the New Second Regiment.
The beating made the Japanese and puppet troops scream in agony, leaving behind corpses one after another, and continued to flee towards the county seat.
It was not until the fleeing Japanese and puppet troops joined the Japanese reinforcements from the county that the soldiers stopped their pursuit and withdrew.
At this point, the battle is officially over.
Since it was just dark, many people heard the noise while fighting along the way.
Later, everyone learned that it was the comrades of the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army who were chasing the Japanese troops along the way.
I heard that the comrades of the New Second Regiment suddenly launched a counterattack and wiped out more than a dozen strongholds in the guerrilla zone in one fell swoop. The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the strongholds fled to the vicinity of the county seat before they gave up.
The common people who learned of this incident all applauded the Eighth Route Army's bravery.
The heroic anti-Japanese Eighth Route Army troops have further enhanced their image and status in the hearts of the people in the surrounding villages.
The Japs and puppet soldiers near the guerrilla zone of the New Second Regiment became increasingly panicked. The New Second Regiment also took this opportunity to become a tough opponent in the Eighth Route Army that could not be easily provoked...
