Chapter 48 Good News
By five o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark.
Somewhere between the Huting stronghold and the Niuzhuang stronghold, the commanders and soldiers of the New Regiment were unfolding in stages along the route of more than two kilometers long, and the construction of defensive fortifications was stepped up.
The commander of the new first regiment was inspecting the position.
"Let me hear it all, and the fortifications must be repaired solidly."
"This blockade is different from the past, and it is likely to be a fierce battle."
"The order of the Brigade Department is to nail us to the position like a nail!"
"Until the Independent Regiment takes down the Huting Stronghold, you must not let a Japanese pass!"
Accompanied by Ding Wei's roar and encouragement, the soldiers of the new group of soldiers were digging trenches in full swing.
No matter what, Li Yunlong is their old team leader. How can the old team leader not help?
The new first regiment is now strong and has strong troops, with three main battalions, including cavalry companies, guard companies, and spy companies. Each main battalion has three infantry companies and one machine gun company.
In addition, there is an artillery platoon directly under the regiment headquarters!
This means that the new first regiment has 15 consecutive gun platoons.
With several direct teams of the regiment headquarters, the entire regiment's strength has exceeded 2,000 people.
This is even better than an old main group like the 772 regiment, because the 772 regiment has only 12 companies and more than 1,700 people.
Therefore, this blockade was also the main force of the New First Regiment. The 772nd Regiment protected the flanks and prevented the Japanese army from detouring from the flanks and attacking the two wings behind the New First Regiment.
As for the third division, the local troops in the fifth division mainly launched attacks on the highways.
Cheng Shifa, the commander of the 772nd Regiment, was on the position of the new regiment. When he saw the new regiment slapped light and heavy machine guns onto the positions on both sides of the road, he was so envious.
"Damn it, your new group is even more awesome than our 772nd group!"
Cheng Shifa said: "I don't know, I thought you were the top players in the 386th Brigade."
"Old Cheng, I don't like to listen to you." Ding Wei said sneered, "Isn't your 772nd Regiment just an early military establishment and an official number of the National Government? In terms of combat effectiveness and equipment, what is the point of our New First Regiment worse than you? If you really go to the battlefield, do you really have a real sword and a gun. I dare to bet with you that the winner will definitely be our New First Regiment."
Cheng Shifa said: "Yeah, you are so fat, you are really panting?"
Ding Wei said: "Don't be dissatisfied, otherwise how could the brigade commander let our new regiment play the main force?"
"That's the brigade commander's partiality." Cheng Shi said with a dark face, "In the past, Li Yunlong could do whatever good things were. Now that you are here, you will do whatever good things are available to do."
"That's because you, Daddy Cheng, is incompetent."
Ding Wei sneered: "Can you blame the brigade commander?"
"Yes, I'm not as trouble-free as you two."
Cheng Shifa said angrily: "Look at Li Yunlong, what has the brigade commander used to?"
"There is only one regiment's troops, and it has just been upgraded from local troops. There are only a few hundred broken guns and no heavy weapons. He dares to attack the Huting stronghold where the Japanese puppet army has heavy troops stationed!"
Ding Wei said: "Don't underestimate Lao Li, this kid always has many ideas when fighting."
"Can you still use it as a heavy weapon?" Cheng Shifa sneered, "Old Ding, just wait and see. In the end, the brigade commander had to come forward to wipe his butt and transfer the artillery camp to come."
Ding Wei smiled and said, "What do you say if Lao Li wants to take down the Huting stronghold?"
"What do you mean?" Cheng Shifa turned around and saw his guard holding the horse behind him. In this skill, his war horse stitched his ponytail and pulled the horse manure, and immediately pointed to the freshly baked horse manure and said, "If Li Yunlong really can take down the Huting Staff with his independent regiment, I will eat this soaked horse manure."
"Blind Cheng, this is what you said." Ding Wei said angrily.
"I said." Cheng Shifa said, "a spit and a nail."
While I was talking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the road behind me.
"Captain Ding, Captain Ding!" Then a shout came.
When Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa looked back, they saw a cavalry running towards Huting along the road.
As they got closer, Ding Wei recognized the man as Kong Jie's guard Xiao Li, and immediately asked, "Xiao Li, don't you stay at the Huting stronghold to protect Commander Kong, why are you here to come?"
"Captain Ding, the leader asked me to come and notify you."
Xiao Li gasped and said, "The battle at the Huting stronghold has ended and the battlefield has been cleaned. All brothers do not have to fight and block them anymore. Just let the Japanese reinforcements go."
"What?" Ding Wei was stunned, "Has Li Yunlong finished his work?"
He thought of Li Yunlong's fineness and fineness, and never fighting a battle that he had never been sure of, but he still did not expect that the Independent Regiment could take down the Huting Staff so quickly, which was beyond his expectations.
Cheng Shifa looked even more incredible. How could it be?
Just rely on the Independent Group? Those hundreds of broken guns and more than a thousand people?
Can you actually take down the Huting stronghold guarded by the Japanese puppet army?
Ding Wei was still a little unbelievable, and pulled Xiao Li and asked, "Xiao Li, are you making a mistake? The Independent Group really took down the Huting stronghold? Are you not lying to us?"
"Love?" Xiao Li was also stunned when he heard this.
"Captain Ding, why do I lie to you?"
Ding Wei was speechless, yes, why did you lie to us?
Xiao Li gasped for a moment and said, "Captain Ding, I have to inform the 772nd Regiment and the Third Division, and the local troops in the fifth division will be transferred, so I won't stay here for more."
"You go directly to the blocking position in the fifth division."
Ding Wei said: "I will inform you about the 772nd Regiment and the Third Division."
"Then thank Captain Ding." Xiao Li ran away.
Ding Wei turned around and looked at Cheng Shifa with a smile, shouting: "Old Cheng?"
"What are you doing?" Cheng Shifa shrank his neck and said, "What are you doing?"
"What are you not doing?" Ding Wei smiled, "Just remind you that it's time to have supper."
After saying that, he pointed to the pile of horse manure on the ground, and held back his smile and said, "Hurry up and eat while it's hot."
"Go and go." Cheng Shifa said with a dark face, "You are just eating shit."
...
In the 386th Brigade and Travel Department.
The brigade commander was pacing back and forth at the command center.
The chief of staff and several officers' eyes followed the brigade commander back and forth, and no one dared to say anything because they knew that the brigade commander was angry now, who dared to get into trouble at this time?
"Chief of Staff, has the main force of the Japanese 4th Brigade left the county town?"
"From the time point of view, I must have left the city, but I was probably blocked in Niuzhuang because a squad in the fifth district blew up a highway bridge. Without more than two hours, the Japanese would not be able to repair the bridge."
"But that can only stop the Japanese army for two hours, and then we can only fight a tough battle."
"There is nothing to do. I can only hope that the independent group can move faster."
"Chief of Staff, how long will the Independent Regiment take over the Huting Staff? Is it possible to take over before dawn tomorrow?"
"Under normal circumstances, it is very unlikely to take down the Huting stronghold before dawn tomorrow. After all, the Independent Regiment has no heavy weapons at all and its military strength is not superior."
"This Li Yunlong!"
The brigade commander was angry again as he spoke.
"What did the boss say on the phone just now?"
The chief of staff said with a broken face: "Brig Commander, the boss is very angry. He said that Li Yunlong was unorganized and undisciplined, and he did not change his teachings after repeated teaching. We must punish our brigade severely."
He paused and asked again, "Otherwise, let him come to the brigade headquarters to carry the marching causal for a few days?"
"Taking the blame?" said the brigade commander with a dark face, "It's all the cheaper he takes. If the independent regiment cannot take the Huting stronghold and the troops suffer significant losses, I will definitely shoot him!"
Speaking of this, the brigade commander became anxious again.
"No, why do I become less and less confident the more I say it?"
"I have to go to the Huting stronghold in person to take a look."
The Chief of Staff advised: "Brig Commander, why don't I go?"
"You can go," said the brigade commander, "bring the artillery battalion and all the shells with you. You can tell Li Yunlong for me that he will not turn back and he will take down the Huting stronghold at all costs!"
"Yes!" The Chief of Staff responded and tied up his armed forces and took them out.
At this moment, the phone ringing on the table suddenly rang.
The Chief of Staff turned back and grabbed the telephone: "Hello, this is the 386th Brigade."
"Chief of Staff, I am Zhao Gang." Zhao Gang's voice came from the opposite side of the phone, "I want to report good news to you. Our independent regiment has taken down the Huting stronghold!"
"Oh, you have taken the Huting stronghold."
The Chief of Staff responded casually and was about to hang up the phone.
But the next second, the Chief of Staff reacted and changed his face.
The brigade commander next to him and several combat staff members were also watching.
"Zhao Gang, what did you say just now?" The Chief of Staff's tone trembled slightly when he asked again.
Zhao Gang on the other end of the phone was obviously a little excited, and took a breath and repeated loudly: "Chief of Staff, I want to report good news to you. Our independent regiment has successfully taken down the Huting stronghold and has achieved a lot!"
