Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 176: Our independent regiment has always been avenged, and revenge is never delayed! 3-chara

Black Shadow didn't expect that his victory, which was within his grasp, would be ruined by Lin Zhenhua. He left the battlefield as soon as Lin Zhenhua arrived, and left with a cruel remark: "Lin Zhenhua, next time we meet, I will definitely catch you!"

Lin Zhenhua had no time to care about the black shadow. After burying the bodies of the soldiers and cleaning up the battlefield, everyone set out on their journey home.

Since the nearby bandits were basically wiped out in this battle, their journey back was very safe. They didn't even encounter a petty thief. At noon on the third day, they arrived safely at the base.

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were extremely shocked to see that half of the team was missing. When they saw that even Li Yunlong was slightly injured, they hurriedly asked what had happened.

"Lao Zhao, Lao Xing, hurry up and arrange treatment for the injured soldiers. We'll talk about anything else when we get back! We've used up all the medicines we brought with us when we left, and some soldiers have been attacked by poison gas. They must be treated in time. Send them to the hospital quickly!"

Lin Zhenhua stopped the two from asking questions. He had just heard Xiao Ma's report on the road. He did not expect that the Japanese would dispatch two divisions to Taiyuan. This was really beyond his expectations. Could it be that the Japanese were really going to launch another large-scale mopping-up operation in the entire Shanxi Province?

However, Lin Zhenhua did not ask this question for the time being. After all, the news from the brigade headquarters only stated the possibility and asked all troops to be prepared in advance.

With the help of everyone, the wounded were rushed to the health center for treatment. Lin Zhenhua, Zhao Gang and others returned to the regiment headquarters and began to talk about the details of this battle.

"I feel that Xue Changkun has been prepared to break off relations with our independent regiment from the very beginning in this transaction. Otherwise, he would not have gathered so many bandits in advance and sent two battalions of troops to Ercha Ridge in advance. It would take nearly two days just to travel in the middle. That's why I have such doubts!"

"But what makes me feel strange is that Xue Kai. He said something meaningful to me. What you see with your eyes may not be the truth. Only what you see with your heart is the real truth. I was a little confused when I heard it at that time. Now that I think about it carefully, this matter is indeed too weird."

"At first I thought Xue Changkun had defected to the Japanese, but later the Japanese launched indiscriminate poison gas warfare, which dispelled my doubts. In short, this matter is confusing. Before Duan Peng comes back, I think it is better for us to deal with it carefully!" Lin Zhenhua analyzed with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Yunlong said immediately, "You all know that I have dealt with Xue Changkun many times before. Although this guy is afraid of death, he is definitely not a person who would backstab others. Besides, the people under him are very strange this time. They actually fought with us. This doesn't make sense. Xue Changkun and I don't have a life-and-death feud, and we don't have any conflicts at ordinary times. It's impossible for them to have such great hostility towards us for no reason. I always feel that there is something hidden here!"

"In the end, the appearance of the Japanese proved part of my guess. This incident must be a conspiracy of the Japanese. The Japanese have extended their hands too deeply. They were able to mobilize Xue Changkun's two battalions and the surrounding bandits to fight us desperately. This method is really clever. When the time comes, the Japanese will come out to pick up peaches and wipe out all the people involved in this matter. In this way, those who know the details are already dead. Even if they want to investigate, don't expect to find out anything!"

"Now I finally figured out something. The Japanese must be trying to alienate our relationship with the 726th Regiment, making Xue Changkun and I enemies. But it doesn't make sense. Xue Changkun can't be so obedient as to listen to the Japanese. I still don't understand the secret. It seems that we can only wait for Duan Peng to come back before we can know the real secret!"

After knowing the details of the battle, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo felt that their speculation was very correct. After all, the Independent Regiment and the 726th Regiment had done many transactions before and there had never been any problems. But now they had come to the point of fighting. Even if penicillin was involved, it would not have caused Xue Changkun to make such a big fuss.

Zhao Gang thought about it for a while and said, "Old Li, let's wait until Duan Peng comes back and ask about the situation. We lost a battalion this time, and there are two divisions of the Japanese devils in Taiyuan, you have to come up with a plan quickly. We have to defend the base no matter what, otherwise the arsenal we built with great difficulty will have to be relocated again, which is a waste of time!"

Xing Zhiguo also said: "The political commissar is right, regiment commander, you have to come up with a plan quickly!"

Li Yunlong sat up and began to look at the map. Soon, he had a plan in mind. He put down the pencil in his hand and gave a direct order: "The Japanese have made me suffer such a big loss this time. We can't just let it go. We just got back a regiment's equipment, which can be used just right. Let the Japanese have a taste of our independent regiment's power. Our independent regiment has always been a revenger and never waits overnight. I decided to lead three battalions to attack the Japanese Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold and eat up all the Japanese in the stronghold at once."

"I did this for two reasons. One is to eliminate the threat from the Xiaozhang Village stronghold. The Japanese are stationed there, and I have to keep my eyes half open even when I sleep. The Japanese deliberately deployed a battalion of troops in this stronghold just to disgust me. So I will eliminate this stronghold and make the Japanese's plan fail!"

"The second purpose is to test the reaction of the Japanese in Taiyuan City. The Japanese already have a 12th Army in Shanxi Province, with a total of more than 20 troops. With the addition of these two divisions, the total strength of the Japanese will reach nearly 40. With the puppet army under the Japanese, the total strength of the Japanese in Shanxi Province will exceed . This is indeed a great pressure for us. If we don't understand the purpose of the two divisions of the Japanese, we can't expect to sleep peacefully!"

"Taking over the Xiaozhang Village stronghold will give us a good opportunity to see how the Japanese respond. This way, we can make a good choice on whether to leave or stay!"

Several people nodded and expressed their approval of Li Yunlong's offensive action, which was also the only best way at present.

Li Yunlong did not finish his words, he began to reorganize the troops: "Zhang Dabiao is the commander of the armored battalion. The armored battalion will be equipped with German equipment. The existing first battalion will be incorporated into the armored battalion. The second, third, and fourth battalions will also be equipped with German equipment. The existing organization and personnel will remain unchanged!"

"The artillery is expanded to two battalions, namely the First and Second Artillery Battalions. The First Battalion is equipped with the Japanese artillery, and the Second Battalion is equipped with German artillery! The rocket artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft artillery battalion will keep their existing equipment unchanged!"

"The second battalion will be responsible for defending the main position, the armored battalion will directly serve as the reserve, the third battalion will be responsible for defending the east, and the fourth battalion will be responsible for defending the south!"

"Three days later, I will lead the third armored battalion, the rocket artillery battalion, and the first artillery battalion to attack the Japanese's Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold and completely remove the nail that the Japanese have placed in front of us!"

Under Li Yunlong's adjustment, the entire independent regiment moved quickly, and the troops began to change their equipment urgently, storing the eliminated Japanese Type 38 rifles separately as backup.

"College student, you proposed to set up a special forces company to fight against the Yamamoto Special Forces of the Japanese. I have carefully considered it and think it is necessary. The staffing is temporarily set at 150 people. You will be given one month to complete the formation! Another thing is, when will the second batch of equipment arrive? I have to prepare in advance to prevent any mistakes in the middle."

Lin Zhenhua was very excited that the special agent company that he had been dreaming of could finally be formed. According to his communication with General Bella, the second batch of equipment was expected to arrive in half a month. He would notify the specific arrival time in advance.

Lin Zhenhua explained the situation to Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong immediately understood what was going on. He knew that he had to find a large number of means of transportation in a short period of time, otherwise he would have no way to transport back half of the division's equipment.

Yushugou, the headquarters of the 726th Regiment

Time goes back to the night five days ago. Duan Peng sneaked into Xue Kai's residence. Xue Kai had already been waiting for him there. The two did not dare to turn on the lights, but whispered in the dark.

"Adjutant Xue, after a few days of secret investigation, I actually found a suspicious place. I have just confirmed that there are indeed people imprisoned there, but I haven't found out the other person's identity clearly, so I don't know if it's the person you are looking for!" Duan Peng said in a low voice.

Xue Kai almost jumped for joy when he heard the news. He had been waiting for this news for two or three days. Finally, he got the location where Xue Changkun was imprisoned. He immediately said, "Platoon Leader Duan, we must find a way to rescue that person. Now I will not hide it from you. I will tell you in advance that the person imprisoned inside should be our regiment commander Xue Changkun. The one outside is a fake!"

"Xue Changkun and I have been together for several years. We have a close relationship like brothers. He would never threaten me with my sister's safety. What's more important is that his eyes are wrong. I can clearly see a trace of resentment in his eyes. This is absolutely impossible between Xue Changkun and me!"

Duan Peng was also shocked after learning the truth. He finally understood why Xue Kai had asked Lin Zhenhua to leave behind a platoon of soldiers. The purpose should be to save his sister.

"Adjutant Xue, why are we still standing there? Let's take action tonight. If we delay any longer, some unexpected situations may arise. Let's rescue the people first. As for how to prove our identities after rescuing them, we can leave it for later. What do you think of my suggestion?"

Xue Kai nodded in the darkness. He also felt that what Duan Peng said made a lot of sense, so he agreed directly: "Platoon Leader Duan, then we will act in two hours. That's when people are the most sleepy, and it will be safer to act!"
