Between the highway from Panxian County to Ping'an County, a battalion of soldiers was cleaning up the battlefield.

Some of them are collecting weapons, ammunition and supplies left behind by the devils.

These devils' weapons and ammunition independent regiments don't need and can't look down on them, but they are fragrant and sweet for other troops, although the quality of the devil's 38 big covers is not as good as Boss Chen's, it is much better than that made in Hanyang.

Others were dismantling the Devil Truck, using explosives to speed things up.

The twenty devil trucks have all been destroyed and have no maintenance value, but the steel and other things inside are good things for the independent regiment, which can be brought back to build farm tools and knives.

Especially for those soldiers who had just joined the army, the first victory made their faces full of happy smiles, and they were even more energetic in their work, and the battlefield was looted in about half an hour.

The monk and others also excavated the detonating wires that had been buried before during this time.

"How's the casualty?"

During the withdrawal to the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao asked.

"Twenty-seven casualties, five seriously wounded, and ten casualties, all new fighters."

The commander of the first battalion and one company immediately replied.

"Not bad."

Zhang Dabiao's face did not change.

There are always casualties in the war, which is unavoidable, and this figure is completely acceptable, even far lower than Zhang Dabiao's expectations.

In this ambush battle, there was definitely a battle loss ratio of more than ten to one.

Although he didn't count the corpses of the devils, the devils would come back to clean up the corpses by themselves anyway, but a rough estimate showed that there were more than one hundred and fifty devils left on the road forever.

"The twenty devils who drove the truck, as well as the mechanics who accompanied the truck, were all killed, right?"

Zhang Dabiao asked.

"It's all gone, I'm staring at it."

The commander of the company who replied said in the affirmative.

That's the point, the rest of the devils can be let go, but these devils must die.

"That's right."

Zhang Dabiao walked and walked, and suddenly patted his head: "Send a report to the regiment commander, saying that the battle is over and the ambush battle is a complete success." ”

After speaking, Zhang Dabiao sighed, and sighed with emotion:

"Hahaha, I almost forgot that now we also have a radio station."

······

"What about the casualties?"

Arriving in Ping'an County, Yamada immediately organized manpower to count casualties.

"Twenty-nine missing, twenty-two wounded."

The answer he received made Yamada breathe a sigh of relief.

Missing, basically means that the jade is broken, but twenty-nine, perfectly acceptable.

The soldiers under his command were originally stationed in Xiyang, near Yangquan, and Li Yunlong had many combat experiences, and even some of them participated in the battle of Shou County, basically old devils, and they each looked for cover as soon as the explosion occurred, plus he retreated decisively, and another brigade took the initiative to attack, attracting the firepower of the independent regiment, so the casualties were not large.

As for the truck fleet, it was full of supplies, there were no people, only a driver and mechanic.

At this time, Yamada was extremely glad that he did not grab the position of the machine repair and went to ride in a comfortable truck, otherwise he was afraid that the first round would be shattered, and the attacker's explosives were planted at a very high level, and almost all the trucks in the first wave were blown up.

"How much of the material was salvaged?"

"Are there any losses in weapons and equipment?"

Yamada then asked.

"All the mountain artillery and infantry guns were lost, all the shells were lost, one heavy machine gun was lost, the rest of the light weapons were intact, and we rescued a base number of bullets and grenade grenades, as well as some grenades."

Hearing this answer, Yamada immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the losses were huge, his brigade was still combat-ready.

Yamada then set his sights on Captain Masaki on the side, and both of them gave orders to count casualties after returning to Heian Prefecture.

It just so happened that at this time, the statistical results of the Mazaki Brigade also came out.

"One hundred and ninety-seven people are missing, and one hundred and three people are injured."

The casualty data made Mazaki, who was already a little sluggish, almost faint.

His brigade was only more than 530 people, and 197 people were missing at once, plus more than half of them were wounded, plus he retreated hastily and suffered heavy losses in weapons and equipment, and now one of his brigades is almost crippled.

And all this happened in less than an hour.

"Is this Li Yunlong's independent regiment?"

Masaki's voice trembled a little.

This is the Li Yunlong Independent Regiment that killed Sakata Daisa, Lieutenant General Miyano and more than a dozen officers of the empire and above, shelled Taiyuan Airport three times, and blocked the attack of the empire's 10,000 troops?

It's really powerful.

It seems that the legend is not fake.

Recalling the previous battle, Masaki found that the ambushed Eighth Route Army actually did not have many troops, and it should be the same number as their two brigades, but the firepower was far stronger than them.

This group of Eighth Route Army was armed with eight mortars, while their two brigades only had two Type 41 mountain guns and two Type 92 infantry guns, and their artillery firepower far exceeded that of the Imperial Army.

The opposing infantry was equipped with a large number of machine guns, no less than the imperial army, as well as a large number of submachine guns, and even light mortars, and the light firepower was also superior to the other side.

And those two horrible heavy machine guns.

It is unbelievable that there really is such an Eighth Route Army in the world.

Moreover, the opponent's firepower was arranged very reasonably, almost perfectly exerting all the firepower, and the rhythm of the battle was completely in accordance with the opponent's path, which was also the main reason why the casualties of his brigade were so terrifying.

This also shows that the opposing commander is experienced.

This kind of Eighth Route Army, not to mention their second-line division garrison brigade, even if it is a full-scale brigade of the first division, it may not be able to defeat it.

Oh yes·······

At this point, Masaki suddenly remembered something, more than a year ago, Li Yunlong and his independent regiment had a record of defeating a full-fledged brigade of the Fifth Division, and now that brigade has not yet been rebuilt.

"Yes."

Yamada nodded: "This is Li Yunlong and his independent regiment, the enemy we will face next." ”

"No wonder."

Masaki breathed a long sigh of relief, and then bowed deeply to Yamada:

"Yamada-kun, I'm sorry, I apologize for my previous words."

To be the captain, Masaki naturally understands a little bit of sophistication.

The failure of this transportation of materials, the superiors must be held responsible, and his brigade suffered heavy losses, the Yamada brigade was almost intact, and a lot of materials were rescued, it is foreseeable that his voice in Ping'an County will be much lower than Yamada, and he naturally has to bow his head and admit his mistakes.

Otherwise, maybe his brigade would have been dismantled and merged into another brigade that day.

"It's okay."

"In the future, we must be more careful, and we must be extremely vigilant in fighting against Li Yunlong."

Yamada was very generous, or he didn't care about it at all.

At this point, he was thinking about something.

Why didn't he find the pre-ambushed explosives? Could it be that the other party's means have been upgraded, and instead of using a tow rope, it uses a wire to detonate? Yamada, who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, immediately thought of the possibility.

"It must be so..."

"Wires can be buried deep in the ground, extremely concealed, and can be farther away from being detected."

Yamada's brows eased slightly when he thought of the reason, but then, he wrinkled deeply again, and even his face turned pale, and then gradually his whole face was as pale as paper, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.

He thought of a very, very troublesome question-

How to prepare for explosive mines detonated by wires in the independent regiment?

How will this highway go in the future?

······

"Nani?"

In Taiyuan, Yoshimoto Sadachi, who received the telegram from Ping'an County, was stunned at that time, and he asked in disbelief: "The transport team was attacked by the independent regiment on the road between Panxian County and Ping'an County, and suffered heavy losses?" ”

"Hey."

The staff officer who reports should bow his head and read:

"The transport truck fleet was completely lost, more than seventy percent of the supplies were lost, and the imperial army suffered about two squadrons of casualties."

"Yaga."

Yoshimoto immediately smoked.

"Hey."

The staff officer thought that he was about to be slapped again, so he hurriedly bowed his head.

"Let's go down."

Fortunately, Yoshimoto had just experienced the bombardment of Taiyuan Airport, and his mental ability to bear it was not bad, and he could still accept the loss of two squadrons and a little material in his heart.

The staff officer was relieved and hurriedly left.

"This Li Yunlong..."

After the staff officer left, Gibbon looked at the telegram and then rubbed his forehead.

He felt a little headache.

Pan County Xiang Ping'an County this transport team, he knew, and once personally asked, this is his arrangement in order to contain Li Yunlong, after all, this is a unit that resisted the attack of 10,000 troops for a month, although the losses are heavy, but Yoshimoto still attaches more importance to it.

A transport convoy of 20 trucks was loaded with a large amount of ammunition and baggage, and a full-fledged brigade escorted by two second-line division garrison brigades, with a total strength of more than 1,100 troops.

Now it has only been more than a month since Li Yunlong retreated from Shou County, and he dared to ambush a full brigade escort convoy? Moreover, it managed to defeat the Imperial Army, destroying the truck fleet and inflicting casualties on two squadrons of the Imperial Army.

Did you recover your strength so quickly?

"So..."

Yoshimoto cast his gaze on the map on the table, looking at the boundaries of Heian County, especially the place where the ambush had taken place marked by the staff officer, and then his brow furrowed even deeper.

He found that the ambush site was located on a flat terrain and very close to the main road.

The boundary between Ping'an County and Panxian County has important traffic highways in North China, and there are railway lines in the plain area at the edge of the two counties, which are important county towns and are responsible for protecting the safety of traffic lines.

At this time, Li Yunlong can ambush a transport team escorted by the Imperial Full Brigade in the middle of Pan County and Ping'an County, or on the plain terrain, and can win, then he will also have the strength to threaten the important traffic roads through Pan County and Ping'an County.

Even, threatening the railroad line on the edge of the two counties.

"Yaga..."

After thinking for a while, Yoshimoto found that he really couldn't do anything about Li Yunlong.

He didn't expect Li Yunlong's strength to recover so quickly.

According to the intelligence after the sweep, Li Yunlong's troops suffered very heavy losses, with more than half of the personnel reduced, more than half of the officers lost, and the combat effectiveness of the troops greatly reduced.

And, most importantly, the demoralization of the troops after the huge casualties, according to Yoshimoto's estimates, it would take at least three or four months for Li Yunlong's independent regiment to regain its combat effectiveness before it could come out to disrupt law and order.

But now, it's been less than a month and a half...

He could understand the shelling of Taiyuan Airport, Li Yunlong's artillery unit did not suffer much losses, and the surprise attack did not require many people.

But ambushing a large brigade of the Imperial Army and achieving victory in a short time requires quite strong combat effectiveness.

"The strength has recovered so quickly."

"Even if it is an empire supported by the spirit of bushido, even if it is a division regiment, there are very few troops that can do it to such an extent."

Yoshimoto took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of hideousness and excitement in his words, with a serious look in his eyes: "Is this Li Yunlong's independent regiment?" Sure enough, I have some ability. ”

······

Zhao Jiayu, independent regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

.“ Report. ”

A telegraph operator walked in, saluted, and said:

"A battalion of telegrams."

"Oh?"

Hearing the telegram, and that it was from the first battalion, Li Yunlong suddenly became interested, he has been very addicted to telegrams recently, the telegram of the first battalion was specially sent by Zhang Dabiao, and after putting on a posture of sitting upright, Grand Master Li said:

"Read it and hear it."

"The first battalion telegraphed: Our battalion interrupted the ambush of a transport convoy of devils from Panxian County to Ping'an County, destroyed 20 trucks, annihilated a squadron of devils, and our battalion suffered 27 casualties, including five seriously wounded and seven casualties."

The telegraph operator immediately read the telegram.

"Hahaha, yes, yes."

Li Yunlong took the telegram with satisfaction.

At this time, Li Yunlong is looking forward to it more and more, and next month, after the arrival of the new radio station, he and Ding Wei and Kong Jie will send a telegram.

"Lao Li..."

After a while, Zhao Gang walked in, intending to see Li Yunlong's snort.

"Lao Zhao, come and see, this is a telegram from a battalion, they just won a big victory, not only wiped out the devil's transport convoy, but also killed a squadron of devils."

Li Yunlong couldn't wait to share the battle report with Zhao Gang, of course, mainly to share the telegram.

"Okay."

said yes in his mouth, Zhao Gang did roll his eyes in his eyes.

He has been very helpless with Li Yunlong recently.

This dog thing, since there was a telegram in the regiment, it was like a child getting a toy, and he had a lot of fun, and he usually had to take it with the troops when they went out for training, and then telegraphed him to report the information.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a lot of paper in the group, and Boss Chen supplied a lot of high-quality paper and pencils for free, he would have cursed a long time ago.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yunlong saw from Zhao Gang's expression that there was something serious this time.

"Spy of the devil."

Zhao Gang's tone was excited: "I've found two." ”

"Oh!"

Li Yunlong immediately perked up.

If you find a spy, you will be able to have three jumpers, you will be able to restore his infantry company, and even form a infantry battalion.

Of course, Grand Master Li still had one thing on his mind.

When the road between the three regiments was repaired, the horse road was widened and leveled, and although it was impossible to run trucks, there was no problem with three jumpers, and the distance between the independent regiment and the new second regiment was only less than 100 miles.

There are three jumpers and a good road, so he can go to Lao Ding Lao Kong in the morning to visit the door and have a meal······

It's a lot more powerful than sending a telegram.
