#327 - ambush
Li Yunlong acted quickly and was already about to engage the enemy. However, it was still unknown whether it was the Southern puppet army or the Rogue Eagle's forces. But for the first battle, tell Li Yunlong to be cautious in everything and not to underestimate the enemy!” After listening to the report, the chief of staff smiled and said to the operations staff officer.
Tell Li Yunlong that I will be waiting for him at Dayu Cave to celebrate his victory!”
The chief of staff's words were conveyed to Li Yunlong's forward command post without missing a single word. Li Yunlong was already immune to the chief's goading.
He smiled and didn't take the chief of staff's other words to heart, but underestimating the enemy would never be found in Li Yunlong's dictionary.
Facing an enemy battalion at the front, Li Yunlong directly deployed two main regiments this time, using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
If it were the familiar little devils, with only two squadrons, Li Yunlong could have confidently sent out two reinforced battalions to encircle them!
Now, without having assessed the enemy's strength, Li Yunlong preferred to be more cautious.
Even when he was stationed with the Japanese army, he had visited the Rogue Eagles several times. They had "exchanged" ideas on troop construction several times. Li Yunlong still had some understanding of the Rogue Eagle's basic infantry organization and weaponry, at least at the infantry battalion level, there was no generational difference in weaponry between the two sides.
In terms of firepower, his side might be lacking some light armored vehicles.
But for the current troops, in addition to RPG rocket launchers, there were now 12.7mm anti-materiel rifles! Each company was now equipped with two 12.7mm anti-materiel rifle teams. In terms of anti-light armor capability, the current grassroots combat units were not weak at all.
For the first battle, Li Yunlong even sent a fierce general like Zhang Dabiao to get close to the front line and directly command, which was already an extremely cautious approach!
Therefore, the chief of staff didn't need to say anything, Li Yunlong had already thoroughly implemented the strategy of despising the enemy strategically and valuing them tactically.
The enemy's 3rd Battalion of the 7th Regiment of the 6th Division, along with an artillery squadron, advanced rapidly in two marching columns by vehicle from Wenjing towards Beizhen, pursuing the retreating hundred or so People's Army soldiers into the valley near Heights 821 and 835.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, rush to the front and stop them, and we will have performed a meritorious service!” Park Chengcai shouted loudly while standing on an open-top jeep. “This is merit that can be obtained immediately, brothers, don't let them get away!” This was a staunch Southern opposition element who had joined the Japanese puppet army a few years earlier.
On the highlands on both sides, all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion stopped their activities, ambushed on the ground without moving, waiting to let this group of enemy troops pass.
The People's Army soldiers retreating along the road heard the sound of enemy vehicles behind them getting closer and closer, and immediately began to rush towards the mountains and forests on both sides of the road.
If they kept running on the road, two legs would definitely not be able to outrun four wheels, but entering the mountains and forests would level the playing field for everyone.
Disperse and retreat!” With the voice of a commander, the 100-plus-strong unit immediately disappeared into the mountains and forests on both sides.
They ran hundreds of meters along the mountains and forests, and suddenly heard a burst of sound, “Dongji!”
This sound almost scared their souls out of them. They nervously hugged their PPSh submachine guns, and one by one they fell to the ground, looking around and preparing to shoot!
Dongji, we are the Longguo Dongji who came to help you.” The translator in the company spoke loudly, lowering his head tightly and quickly explaining, “We are from Longguo and are friends with General Jin!”
In the dark, the soldier who was shouting was also afraid that the other side would accidentally fire in a panic, so he didn't dare to look up.
After speaking, Park De-fan was also a little nervous and slowly crawled towards the source of the sound.
Fan Qihong, you've been chattering with them for so long, have you communicated well?” The company commander next to the translator couldn't help but ask.
Ah, it's Longguo Dongji, I believe it, Dongjis, we are saved!” Park De-fan suddenly shouted excitedly when he heard this voice, “Everyone is on our side, don't be afraid! On our side!”
After speaking, he crawled up, raising both hands to indicate that he was not holding a weapon.
Company commander, it seems they believe us.” Fan Qihong looked at the vague shadow on the opposite side that seemed to be raising his hand.
The company commander looked at the other side while lying on the ground and said: “But still be careful, don't relax your vigilance, let their leader come over to talk quickly, or tell them to get lost! The enemy is about to arrive, the sound of the wheels can be heard, there's no time to dawdle!”
Park De-fan seemed to have heard the company commander's words. Without waiting for Fan Qihong to say anything, he turned around and shouted loudly to the rest of the People's Army soldiers, “It's our own people, everyone get up, everyone get up and clear the way, and follow the Longguo Dongji's command!”
Fan Qihong heard Park De-fan's words and turned to the company commander and said, “This time they really believe us, company commander, I'll take them to the side to communicate, so as not to delay our business.”
Go ahead, take them to the flank of the 3rd Platoon, don't block the crossfire of our machine guns!”
Damn, are these northern bastards rabbits? They run so fast.” Jin Chengshan, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Southern Army, was sitting in a jeep, rushing to the front, watching the remnants of the People's Army disappear one by one, and cursed.
Be careful, these northern bastards have burrowed into the woods. Order the armored vehicles to go to the front and conduct fire reconnaissance of the mountains and forests!”
Jin Chengshan ordered his jeep to stop and shouted loudly to the rear. He was not stupid. The enemies who burrowed into the woods were the most terrifying. In this darkness, they might shoot a few bullets from somewhere.
His life was his own, and he had to cherish it!
The artillery will establish positions on the spot. They can't run far. They should be within two or three kilometers of this area. After the armored vehicles use fire reconnaissance to force them out, the artillery will then bombard them!”
The artillery in the rear quickly stopped and began to disperse their four 75mm mountain guns to set up positions. In this unfamiliar place, they did not dare to concentrate, in case someone touched them nearby and threw a few grenades to detonate the shells, that would be a disaster.
Therefore, the artillery squadron's four mountain guns were now dispersed hundreds of meters apart, so that if something happened, they could still salvage some of them.
Second update, continue to ask for monthly tickets.
