Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 500 Li Yunlong: Make a Big Trouble? Let’s Go to Taiyuan!

Some people in Datong City who were hiding in cellars or secret passages waited until everything settled down at night. Then they tentatively ran out of their hiding places, wanting to see what the situation was like in the outside world.

After coming out of the secret passage, many people were surprised to find that nothing in their homes was lost, and there was not even any sign of having been turned over.

Didn’t these Eighth Route Army troops enter the city?

This is the deepest doubt in the hearts of these people.

When they tentatively came to the street, they found that except for the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were standing guard every five steps or ten steps, all the other soldiers were leaning under the eaves or simply lying on the street and sleeping.

Many Eighth Route Army soldiers on guard saw these civilians, and after confirming that they had no ill intentions, they actually saluted them.

At first, the common people were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground and shouted "General". But when they saw that these young men were only about 20 years old, tears filled their eyes.

What does it mean to not harm even a single hair? This is what it means to truly not harm even a single hair!

These are the real people’s soldiers!

The people in this city have experienced many different armies, including the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, the National Army, the Puppet Army, and the Japanese. So many armies have come and gone, but no army has ever been as strict as the team in front of them, with no violations of discipline.

It can be said that there is a majestic atmosphere hidden behind this team.

Li Yunlong could have slept in the Japanese headquarters, but he simply couldn't let the soldiers of his independent regiment sleep on the streets, so he slept on the Japanese beds with peace of mind.

Furthermore, he disliked the unlucky things of the Japanese. Each of them was only 1.5 or 1.6 meters tall. How could they sleep comfortably?

After patrolling the whole city, he lay down against a pillar on the street in front of the Japanese headquarters, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

So, Lao Li spread out the military map he carried with him and thought about his next plan of action.

Lao Li has received the latest order from the headquarters, asking him to garrison Datong City first and wait for the brother troops to come to take over the rotation tomorrow, and prepare to let a part of his 385th Brigade come to garrison Datong City. As for the next task of the independent regiment, it is to make as much noise as possible to divert the attention of the devils and prevent them from paying attention to Yukou Coal Mine and Datong City.

The telegram did not clearly state why they did this, but Lao Li was a very sharp-minded man. He could infer from the detail that the telegram he sent to the regiment headquarters did not receive a reply from the political commissar that Yu Ye and Zhao Gang had already set off for Yukou Coal Mine. This was an unspoken understanding.

Since this is the case, let Old Li attract the Japanese's attention for you so that you can do what you need to do with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Lao Li immediately lost his sleepiness and called the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao, the second battalion commander Shen Quan and the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao to discuss the next arrangements with them.

"Headquarters has given us an order to attack Taiyuan."

Facing the three battalion commanders, Li Yunlong took the initiative.

Aha?

Hearing the order from the regiment commander, the three battalion commanders looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this true? Are we going to attack Taiyuan now?

"Captain, is this true? Are we going to attack Taiyuan now?"

Zhang Dabiao had followed Li Yunlong for the longest time. It was not that he did not trust Li Yunlong, but he also felt that the order was a bit too outrageous. He was worried that his captain had made the decision in a rash manner.

Li Yunlong glared at him: "I gave the order, how could it be wrong?"

After receiving a positive answer from the regiment commander, the three battalion commanders, who had been somewhat hesitant, suddenly became excited, and they seemed to be eager to give it a try.

This time, Lao Li couldn't do anything about it.

Why are all three of you like this? Aren't you supposed to be nervous and depressed? Why are you all so excited?

"Captain, shall our battalion launch the main attack?"

Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao said in unison.

"Captain, when we were fighting Ping'an County, you didn't differentiate between main attack and assist. Now that we're fighting Taiyuan City, we should differentiate between main attack and assist, right?"

Zhang Dabiao scratched his head. He knew that at this moment, he couldn't attack Taiyuan City as he pleased as he did the small Ping'an County. He had to follow some rules.

The two battalion commanders, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao, were not to be outdone and started vying for the throne.

Now it was Li Yunlong's turn to scratch his head. What the hell was going on?

He could almost understand the tingling feeling that the brigade commander had felt when he faced a group of regiment commanders during the fight for combat missions at the brigade headquarters.

What is different from before is that Li Yunlong does not dare to fight with the brigade commander, but the three battalion commanders he trained might really fight with him for combat missions.

Li Yunlong felt a pain on his scalp. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Stop fighting with each other, the three of you. Stop being the main attacker. I will lead the team myself!"

Li Yunlong was forced into a corner and had to lead the team to launch the main attack himself, because no matter who was chosen as the main attacker, the other two battalion commanders would fight with him.

The three battalion commanders looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Okay, now that the main attack has been chosen, let's deploy specific combat tasks. Since the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese have suffered heavy losses in Shanxi, and a large part of their forces have been withdrawn into Taiyuan City.

According to current estimates, there are still at least 2 to 3 Japanese soldiers in Taiyuan City. In addition, the walls of Taiyuan City are strong and thick. If we insist on taking it down, we will suffer heavy losses.

If you insist on fighting, you are a fool. We are not doing this."

When talking about his own combat ideas, Li Yunlong took the lead in setting the tone, resolutely not doing anything stupid like fighting head-on, and that one needs to use one's brain to fight this battle.

"Captain, if I don't attack Taiyuan head-on, how can I fight?"

Zhang Dabiao couldn't understand Li Yunlong's idea.

"You are really a tiger. Our primary goal is to build momentum and create the illusion that the main force is attacking Taiyuan City to see if we can lure the devils out."

"Captain, what if the Japanese don't come out? You know, when we attacked the Yukou Coal Mine this time, the damn Japanese just watched us die without coming out to rescue us."

Shen Quan asked doubtfully.

"If the devils don't come out, then we'll go in."

"What?"

The three battalion commanders stared at Li Yunlong with wide eyes.

Can these damn devils let us in?

"Our independent regiment was ordered by the headquarters to conduct an exercise outside Taiyuan City. A soldier was lost, so our independent regiment led troops into the city to search. Do you think this excuse is good?"

Li Yunlong said with a smile.

The three battalion commanders widened their eyes. They didn't expect the regiment commander to do such a thing.

"Captain, who is our missing soldier?"

Li Yunlong took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring quietly and said calmly: "Zhang Dabiao!"
