Coming out of the column headquarters and walking towards his regimental headquarters, Li Yong's head was still pondering, even the commander, an old man who had fought for many years, said that the enemy's artillery fire and planes were very annoying, and it must be very difficult to deal with, otherwise with the temper of the commander, he would not have spoken like this, and Commander Wang, who had experienced a hundred battles, had never seen any formation?

It took less than half an hour for Li Yong, Wang Chengde, and Li Yuming to return to the regimental command post that the Independent Regiment had just built.

The so-called regimental command post is also a larger anti-artillery hole like the column headquarters, which has also just been dug by Li Yuming's guard company, and there is no other way, so if you want not to be bombed, you have to dig more holes.

Lying on the small bed made by the soldiers in the anti-artillery hole, Li Yong's head was still turning, looking at him a little distracted, Wang Chengde knew that Li Yong was thinking about things, and quietly retreated, and told the guards at the gate not to disturb the regiment commander.

The independent regiment hurried back to fight, but this time it was still a reserve, not only did it not fight, but even the column headquarters was higher than its own regimental command post, the commanders were all in front, and a regiment of thousands of men and horses stayed in the back to sleep, what is this called?

Therefore, if you want to fight a war, you have to think of your own way, and you have to make the commander feel that it is profitable, and the main force of the column is most troubled by the enemy's artillery fire and aircraft.

Li Yong, who wanted to come over and think about the past, couldn't lie down any longer, so he got up and asked people to call Sun Quanhou, the battalion commander of the baggage battalion, Zhang Jinsong, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and Xiao Cheng, the company commander of the engineer company.

After a few people arrived, Li Yong directly asked a few people if there were any woods nearby, and after receiving a positive answer, Li Yong asked two battalion commanders and a company commander to take their troops to find a way to cut some trees back, as for what to cut down the tree trunk, Li Yong did not explain, and several people did not ask, just do it, and the regiment commander asked it to be useful.

As for letting these troops go to work, Li Yong also had considerations, several infantry battalions and other combat battalions should keep more bodies, and the order of the column may come down at any time, even if there are no two battalions and a company, it will not delay the independent regiment to carry out its mission.

Li Yong told a few people not to patronize their work, but also to pay more attention to the enemy's planes, so that the soldiers should be dispatched in small units, preferably in a squad, such a scale is too lazy to take care of even if the planes see it, and they can afford casualties.

The loess in the northwest is very suitable for digging holes, and in order to prevent artillery and air defense, the soldiers desperately dug a lot of big caves, hiding personnel and equipment in the caves as much as possible, and covering those that cannot be hidden temporarily with grass and leaves.

Other battalions and companies are nothing, is digging a hole an old job of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, a small sapper shovel per person, isn't it too easy to dig a hole that can hide people

But this time the soldiers of Gao Xiang's artillery battalion were exhausted, and it was very difficult to hide dozens of artillery pieces and towed cars, and the soldiers thought that such a big guy could block it with tree branches or something, and the project of hiding the car and artillery in the cave was too big.

But Gao Xiang didn't think so, he told the soldiers that these cannons in his battalion are the treasures of the whole regiment, the most important and heaviest firepower in the regiment, and the thousands of people in the regiment have exchanged their lives for them, and they must be protected.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion are very clear that there are basically no casualties in the battalion in the last few battles, and other battalions and companies are not so lucky, although the casualties are not large, but there are wounded and sacrificed in every battle, and it is really nothing to be tired in comparison.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion, who had figured it out, worked in shifts as a unit, and almost did not sleep all night, and finally got dozens of artillery pieces and cars into the cave before dawn.

After doing this, whether it was the battalion commander, the instructor or the soldiers, they all lay on the ground and never remembered again, tired, really tired, too tired, but although they were very tired, their hearts were relaxed, no matter what, the plane could not drill into the cave to blow up the cannon.

The battalion commander Gao Xiang's whole body was soaked with sweat, he took the kettle handed by the guard and poured it a few times, and then told the soldiers not to disturb him if there was nothing important, and this guy lay on the ground and fell asleep after speaking.

They were very tired, and the other troops were not idle, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion and the baggage battalion, plus the engineer company, cut down a lot of trees overnight, and the trees were cut back, and everyone looked at them and stared, not knowing what the regiment commander wanted these logs for.

Li Yong told the soldiers of the two battalions and a company to find a way to make these trees look like cannons, and to do them like the cannons of Gao Xiang's battalion, the sooner the better, and it is better to do it overnight.

Since the regiment commander has an order, let's do it, not to mention the soldiers, even Zhang Jinsong, Sun Quanhou and Xiaocheng are confused.

Fortunately, the soldiers at that time were all farmers, and they were also good at work when they were at home, and they knew a little bit of craftsmanship, plus there were still some soldiers in Xiaocheng's engineering company who knew carpenters, and it was not difficult to make the trees cut back into cannons, but what to do after doing it?

When it was almost dawn, Sun Quanhou and a few people came over to report to Li Yong, and the cannons made of wood were all ready, and the regiment commander was asked to check it.

Waiting for Li Yong to walk to the place under the leadership of a few people, isn't it, he has made dozens of cannons, all of them are vivid, but there is also a little difference, although the cannons made of wood and the real cannons of Gao Xiang's battalion are similar in appearance and size, there is still a certain difference in camouflage color.

Li Yong pointed to the fake cannon and told Sun Quanhou, don't look at these guys as fake, but you have to make it the same as the real one, and the color can't be bad, as for how to color the cannon, it's up to a few of you, you can get it, but you have to get it right, most of our regiment's family background is in the baggage, and Lao Sun will bother more.

After giving instructions, Li Yong turned around and left, leaving Sun Quanhou, Zhang Jinsong and Xiaocheng and a few people sitting there worried.

It's no wonder that a few people are worried, let alone them, Li Yong doesn't have any good way now, but this guy is the head of the regiment, can he give orders when he is the head of the regiment, so the orders given by Grand Master Li to a few people must be done well, and it doesn't matter how to get it right.

To say that the troops of the Eighth Route Army still have a way, a few people can't think of a move, it doesn't mean that everyone has no way, Zhang Jinsong and Sun Quanhou gathered the soldiers to hold a Zhuge Liang meeting, and after everyone's collective discussion, they really came up with several plans.

The soldiers said that since the regiment commander wanted to make the wooden cannon the same as the real one, it must be to deceive people, just use charcoal ash and mud to plaster the wood, and look at the black and flickering from a distance There is no difference between the real cannon, and then cover it with branches and grass, and from a distance, it will be impossible to distinguish the real from the camouflaged artillery group.

After doing this, the soldiers called Li Yong over again and asked him to check, this time Master Li was really convinced, and even he, the regiment commander, couldn't figure out the truth from the truth dozens of meters away.

Seeing that the regiment commander was very satisfied, Zhang Jinsong came over with a shy face and asked, "Regiment leader, are you trying to bluff anyone by letting us get these things?" But I don't think your trick is interesting, and these wooden cannons can't be seen by the enemy, so what's the use of putting them here? ”

As soon as Zhang Jinsong's words were finished, before Li Yong could say anything, Xiao Cheng on the side was unwilling, Xiao Cheng muttered: "Battalion commander, don't keep discouragement of me, we are tired all night to get these wooden cannons, if they are useless, won't it be in vain?" The enemy can't see it here, so let's just push all these things to the front in a minute. ”

Zhang Jinsong nodded at Xiao Cheng's head and shouted: "What do you know about this rookie, what do you mean to push these things to the front, and push them up to work?" Enemy soldiers don't charge when they see fake artillery? ”

When Xiao Cheng first joined the army, it was brought out by Zhang Jinsong, so Zhang Jinsong always called Xiao Cheng a recruit egg, Xiao Cheng has been a soldier for more than a year, according to the eyes of today's people, the time is not long, but at that time, the army was constantly marching and fighting, and after more than a year down, he was definitely a veteran, after becoming a company commander, there were more than 100 people under his hands, and Xiao Cheng even demanded himself with the standards of the old Eighth Road, but these were useless in front of Zhang Jinsong, and Xiao Cheng had nothing else to say in Zhang Jinsong's eyes, that is, a new soldier's egg.

Li Yong didn't care how the two argued, he was still very accustomed to saying to Xiao Cheng: "Don't talk nonsense, go and summon everyone to the regiment headquarters for a meeting." ”

Xiao Cheng has been a guard for Li Yong for a long time, and Li Yong is also very accustomed to letting him convey something, even after Xiao Cheng became a company commander, Li Yong sometimes often called him and Sanniu to do something.

Xiao Cheng was no longer a company commander at this time, and immediately entered the role of a guard again, and ran to notify the cadres at all levels of the independent regiment to come to the meeting.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the engineer company said everything, and a few of them muttered strange things: "Look, our company commander is not a company commander now, and he has gone back to work as a guard for the regiment commander." ”

Putting aside how the fighters were talking about it, it didn't take long for the commanders of the independent regiment at all levels to come to the regimental command post for a meeting.

Zhang Jinsong and Sun Quanhou took the soldiers to toss for a long night, and the cadres and soldiers of the rest of the battalions also knew some of them, but no one understood what was going on.
