Li Yong and Wang Chengde looked at each other and finally figured out why this Brigade Commander Liu was so polite, feeling that he wanted to take them in, and it was a little funny to think about it, he hadn't caught up with his old army until he was taken by others.

The two of them looked at each other and didn't know how to answer, for Li Yong and Wang Chengde, Brigade Commander Liu was the big chief, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

In the end, it was the instructor Wang Chengde who said: "Chief, thank you for taking a fancy to us, but you see that this kind of thing is not up to the two of us in our company, and the two of us are in charge of the war. ”

At this time, a chief beside Brigade Commander Liu said: "Okay, Lao Liu, let them go, don't mess with Lao Chen and Zhao Jin's kid to see jokes, let's get such a spy company too." ”

Brigade Commander Liu laughed: "It seems that I am to blame, okay, thank you today, if it is useful to our Ninth Brigade in the future, I will say something, we will definitely give it our full support." ”

Li Yong and Wang Chengde saluted and led the troops away, at this time Brigade Commander Liu said to the chief beside him: "Political commissar, I'm really a little greedy, you see just a company, but there are more than 400 people in nine platoons, and all of them are automatic weapons, you look at the equipment of those soldiers, not to mention our People's Liberation Army, even the Central Army of the Kuomintang can't compare with the little devils in the past."

In this battle, the enemy had only one battalion, and the troops we attacked were a regiment, and it was difficult for the men and horses of a regiment to encounter several pillboxes, and they couldn't go up after rushing several times in a row, and they had to ask people to help, do you think I can not be greedy?

When they assembled, I took a closer look, a platoon has about 50 people, and the Czechs alone have resisted eight, which shows that each platoon is a four-squad establishment, and each squad is equipped with two squad light machine guns.

When did these four brigades get rich? Why don't we know any news? Besides, they are not brigade troops, but just a special service company under the regiment, and even if the brigade has things, they can't equip them with everything, which is full of strange energy. ”

Let's put aside the discussion of the commander of the Ninth Brigade, let's talk about Li Yong and Wang Chengde after they left with the spy company, the soldiers were all elated, and they all talked about today's battle, we can be in the limelight, you look at the eyes of the comrades of the Ninth Brigade, when they gathered, they were embarrassed to stand with us, thinking that they had lost the price.

Gao Xiang's artillery platoon soldiers were even more awesome: "What about the big reinforced concrete pillbox, ten rounds of rapid fire will still be blown up, if there is no company today, the Ninth Brigade may not know how many people will be lost." ”

Listening to the discussion of the soldiers, Wang Chengde stabbed Li Yong beside him: "Dayong, how can I see that you are not very happy, this is the first battle after the establishment of our company, there are no casualties at all, how good it is, and your command is also very good." ”

Li Yong hurriedly said: "Who said that I am not happy, and I can not be happy after winning the battle?" I couldn't be happier. Sanniu, who was walking beside Li Yong, said: "Company commander, don't make up nonsense, don't say it's an instructor, even I can see that you are not very happy, who else do you want to fool?" Hearing Sanniu's words, Li Yuming, Xiaocheng, Hu Xiaolian and other surrounding soldiers all laughed.

Li Yong glanced at a few of them: "Of course it's good to win the battle, it's a happy thing, but we didn't catch anything, just to help others, we only brought 160 shells in a row, this kind of shell supplement is not easy, one shot is less than one round, just now there are more than 20 rounds in one breath, and now there are more than 130 rounds left, what if there are no shots?" It's too late to go back and get it, let's set a rule when we fight in the future, there must be a seizure, and we won't do anything cheap. ”

After listening to Li Yong's words, everyone laughed, and they all said that they knew why the company commander was unhappy, and they all said that they would do what the company commander said, and they must think of taking advantage of the war in the future, and they would not do anything that was not cheap.

At night, the spy company found a wooded camp and the green tent blended into the woods, so that a team of several hundred people could not be seen from a distance, which would improve the concealment of the troops.

Li Yong and instructor Wang Chengde discussed: We have almost half of the grain we have eaten, and it is not a way to eat the empty mountains, we must seize the time to fight another battle in the past two days, and get more food, the people here are not enough to eat, and there is no way to pay grain from the locality, only the idea of fighting grain from the enemy, some of the enemies in Qinghai and Ningxia are cavalry, so we will fight his cavalry, and the dead horses will be used as food, and the living ones will be left for the baggage platoon, and the future baggage platoon will be completely canceled for manpower transportation.

After discussing it, Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance platoon was sent out that night, and the task given to him was to understand the surrounding enemy situation within two days, but not to expose the location of the special service company because of the battle.

The next night, when it was almost dark, Zhang Jinsong and the soldiers of their platoon came back one after another, and while eating a big meal, they reported to Li Yong and Wang Chengde: There is a Dachuan Road in the southwest more than 20 miles away from the current station of the special service company, and the so-called Dachuan Road is also a big ravine.

They had been on guard for a long time only to find that more than a dozen enemy horsemen were passing by, but they did not find anything else, and the scouts sent out in other directions did not find any signs of enemy activity nearby.

The Longdong Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, with ravines and ravines, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon have no rapid means of transportation, but only rely on their own two legs, and it is not easy to find such a situation in less than two times.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde decided that the troops would move in the southwest direction tomorrow morning, looking for fighters depending on the situation, and the heavy platoon of the cooking squad would remain in place.

I heard that I wanted to stay where I was, but the cooking squad did not react, and the people in the re-platoon did not do it, and Sun Quanhou was also unwilling to do it, and emphasized to Li Yong and Wang Chengde that his platoon was also a combat unit, and when it was established, the company commander and the instructor had said that they would also participate in the battle, and if it were not for the company commander and the instructor to give a guarantee, no one would want to come to the re-platoon.

Li Yong told Sun Quanhou that no one said that they were not combat troops, but now the special service company's family background is in their hands, and the soldiers of the baggage platoon are burdened, and the marching speed cannot catch up with the other platoons.

The troops set out at four o'clock the next morning, and after about two hours of marching, they came to the vicinity of the Dachuan Road that Zhang Jinsong said at about six o'clock in the morning.

This is a length of dozens of kilometers of Dachuan Road, the slopes on both sides of the road are overgrown with grass, Li Yong let Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance line be on guard, and then go down to the middle of the road with Wang Chengde to observe carefully, Li Yong found that there are dense horseshoe prints and livestock feces in the middle of the road, it seems that the information obtained by Zhang Jinsong is accurate, there are indeed often enemy cavalry passing by here, this is a good place to ambush.
