After the battle, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment began to clean the battlefield.

Accompanied by political commissar Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong came to Xu Wen and asked: "Zhuzi, are you not fucking injured?"

"No, I killed seven little Japs with my own hands, and there were no injuries at all! They say that little Japs are good at fighting with a bayonet, but I don't think it's that good!" Xu Wen said with a smile.

"Haha, you did a great job!" Li Yunlong laughed happily and said to Zhao Gang next to him: "The artillery platoon really contributed a lot this time and was very brave in the pillar battle. I decided to expand the artillery platoon into an artillery company.

And promote Zhuzhu to the position of artillery company commander!"

Zhao Gang was also full of admiration for Xu Wen, smiled and nodded in agreement: "I think it's feasible, Zhu Zhu is outstanding in our regiment in terms of artillery skills and stabbing ability!

With so many actual combat experiences, becoming a company commander will definitely be no problem!"

"Well, it's settled then. Zhu Zhu will quickly lead people to clean up the battlefield, especially the Japanese mortars, to see if there are any that can be used!" Seeing that Zhao Gang had no objection, Li Yunlong waved to Xu Wen.

Of course Xu Wen was happy to be promoted! He immediately saluted: "Yes!"

They took Monk Wei with them and went to clean the battlefield. After collecting statistics, they found that there were still four usable mortars in the Yamazaki Brigade, but the shells had been used up.

But this is not a problem at all for Xu Wen.

There were no more artillery shells, so he could redeem them with points right away. Moreover, he still had more than a hundred artillery shells stored in his portable warehouse. If things didn't work out, he could ambush a Japanese transport convoy.

So as long as you have artillery, there will be no problem in expanding your artillery platoon.

Become a company commander first, and then you will have an identity when you divide the troops, and you can truly recruit troops.

On the third day after the Lijiapo battle, after rest and recuperation, the Independent Regiment expanded its artillery battery. Xu Wen was officially appointed by Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang as the artillery battery commander, directly under the command of the regiment headquarters.

After the formation of the artillery company was completed, Xu Wen began to get busy because Li Yunlong transferred a group of new soldiers to him from the entire regiment.

Artillery is a technical branch, so training is much more expensive than ordinary infantry.

Most importantly, the independent regiment does not have enough artillery shells for the artillerymen to use live ammunition, which greatly increases the difficulty of training.

Although the system's redemption store has now been reopened, a skill book costs 200 points. Xu Wen, who still has 1,300 points, is absolutely reluctant to use it.

Therefore, after Xu Wen conducted basic training for the artillerymen for a month, he had to find Li Yunlong and suggested to him: "Captain, we don't have many artillery shells left. It will be difficult to train qualified artillerymen with this kind of training!"

Li Yunlong also understood that no qualified artillerymen could be produced just by making random gestures.

So Wei Wei muttered: "That makes sense, it seems like we have to get some cannonballs first!"

"Captain, the Huting stronghold closest to our base area has hundreds of little Japs stationed there. They need to replenish a lot of supplies every month. If we ambush their transport team halfway, then the Japs in the Huting stronghold will definitely

We will send troops for reinforcements." Xu Wen had already thought of his goal.

"You mean to surround the point for reinforcements? To ambush the reinforcements at the Huting stronghold?" Li Yunlong asked.

"There are more than 300 Japs in the Huting stronghold. Together with the puppet troops, there are too many troops for our regiment to handle.

What's more, once the battle starts, the Japs from other directions may come for reinforcements." Xu Wen paused and said, "So, I suggest, Commander, that we divide our troops into three groups and use part of our troops to ambush the Japs' transport.

Team.

After attracting the Japs from the Huting stronghold, use part of the troops to block the reinforcements and hold back the enemy, while the main force of the regiment will take the opportunity to directly attack the Huting stronghold!"

"Attacking the Huting stronghold directly? That is a well-fortified stronghold, a tough nut to crack!" Li Yunlong hesitated.

"Captain, during the recent period, there has been no fighting between us and the surrounding Japs. Therefore, the materials consumed by the Japs in the Huting stronghold are basically daily necessities such as grains and vegetables.

Weapons and ammunition should not need to be replenished, so even if we ambush their transport team, it will be difficult to obtain ammunition supplies, especially artillery shells.

And their reinforcements, when they arrive, will definitely be lightly equipped and rushing to reinforce!

It is impossible to carry too much ammunition, so even if we wipe out all their reinforcements, we still cannot fully obtain enough artillery shell supplies.

What's more, we may not be able to absorb the Japanese reinforcements.

Therefore, I suggest that we lure the snake out of the hole, directly concentrate our superior forces, and take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Huting stronghold. As long as the two-way ambush and reinforcement force can contain the Japanese army, we will have enough time and opportunity to capture the Huting stronghold.

In this way, not only can we destroy the Japanese, but we can also seize a large amount of ammunition from a large stronghold near our base!"

Although Li Yunlong is uneducated, his strategic vision and tactical literacy are beyond question.

He instantly understood Xu Wen's intention, but he did not agree to Xu Wen's suggestion and plan on the spot because this was not a simple ambush.

Rather, it is a battle in which thousands of troops from the entire regiment are involved. The decision must be made after careful consideration and comprehensive consideration of the pros and cons.

So Li Yunlong asked Xu Wen to go back first and find political commissar Zhao Gang and deputy leader Kong Jie.

Zhao Gang and Kong Jie were both shocked when Xu Wen's plan was told, but after Li Yunlong's analysis, they quickly calmed down.

The three people discussed the map for a long time, and finally Li Yunlong made a decision: "Let's do it. Although there are risks, how can a war be without risks? As long as we capture the Huting stronghold, not only can we seize a large amount of ammunition and supplies, but we can also severely punish them."

Demoralize the little devils.

For us, we can also accumulate a rare experience in tackling difficult problems!

Don't tell me, this guy Zhuzhu is really becoming more and more tactically savvy now, he's almost like a different person!"

Kong Jie nodded in agreement and said: "Who says it's not the case? In my opinion, with Zhu Zhu's performance, he is more than enough to be a chief of staff!"

Xu Wen, who was waiting for news at the company headquarters, heard a prompt from the system at the right moment: "Ding dong, the host has triggered a new mission to capture the Huting stronghold. Upon completion, the host will be directly rewarded with a thousand redeemable points."

When Xu Wen heard this reminder, he immediately understood that it must be Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and the others who had adopted his suggestion and agreed to use troops against the Huting stronghold.
Chapter completed!
