Chapter 77 Scouting Platoon
Boom...boom...sequential grenade explosions, screams, and panic echoed in the night, and the dazzling firelight also exposed the Japanese's temporary camp.
Guided by the fire and explosion, the sound of horse hooves quickly approached, and the cavalry company of the brigade cavalry battalion and the independent regiment finally arrived. Because there were horse hooves everywhere, as if thousands of horses galloping, the Japanese were completely frightened, although there were still a few mortars left, they didn't know where to shoot them.
However, as the sound of horse hooves approached, the Eighth Route Cavalry had not yet seen clearly, the Japanese were first welcomed grenades falling from the sky. For a moment, the Japanese camp exploded continuously and the entire camp was in chaos.
After the Eighth Route Cavalry approached, the light machine gun swept through some Japanese devils who could still stop resistance, and the remaining Japanese remnants soon became the souls of the Eighth Route Cavalry under the sabers...
In this battle, taking advantage of the night, the Eighth Route Army cavalry undoubtedly fought a classic raid, killing the Japanese sobbing. Less than half an hour from the beginning to the end of the battle, the Eighth Route Army cavalry had only a few hundred people. At the cost of slight casualties, hundreds of Japanese troops were wiped out, and almost the establishment of a Japanese brigade was easily erased.
The deputy commander-in-chief of the headquarters was very happy with such a happy victory. The deputy commander-in-chief was happy. The brigade commander praised Li Yunlong. Of course, while praising him, he couldn't help but remind Li Yunlong to continue his efforts and win more battles and cause less trouble.
At the same time, Wang Zhilong's outstanding performance this time also attracted the attention of the brigade commander and even the deputy commander-in-chief. A small reconnaissance platoon actually caused an elite Japanese brigade to suffer such a big loss. I heard that Wang Zhilong not only had great skills, but also made a mortar to pitch grenades. He was very good at reconnaissance and war. The deputy commander-in-chief and brigade commander were naturally very curious about him.
A few days later, in the Independent Regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong turned around Wang Zhilong who was standing straight and grinned and said, "You kid, with a grenade in your hand, you are a human-shaped mortar! Niu Shangtian! Even the brigade commander and the deputy commander praised you, saying that you have been in my Independent Regiment."
"Ha...Where are you not fighting the Japanese? As long as you can fight the Japanese, you will not be able to surrender. You have long been the commander, and aren't you still the commander now? Although you always cause trouble, in the minds of the leaders, you are still good at fighting, and they still rely on you the most," Wang Zhilong said with a faint smile.
"You boy, don't change the topic for me," Li Yunlong said angrily: "Don't worry, I, Li Yunlong, will not let the talents who can fight. Even the deputy commander-in-chief and the brigade commander praised you, so I will naturally be promoted to you. Comrade Wang Zhilong, given your heroic and outstanding performance in the battle to eliminate Yamazaki Brigade, after discussion and decision by the regiment headquarters, you will now be officially notified to appoint you as the reconnaissance platoon leader of the Independent Regiment."
"Platform leader? I thought I was given a great official! Leader, what is the difference between my platoon leader and before? Even if it is expanded, wouldn't I have to choose and cultivate the manpower by myself? Why don't you give me two bottles of wine to affordable? Even if it's sweet potatoes, it's okay!" Wang Zhilong said deliberately after hearing this.
Li Yunlong glared at him when he heard this, but couldn't help laughing on his face: "You kid, don't be ignorant! You bargain with me, there is no wine. Do you like to take this platoon leader?"
"Okay, do it! Who made me get on your pirate ship? Now I can't get off the ship anymore," Wang Zhilong said helplessly.
"Haha..." Li Yunlong couldn't help but smile even more: "Boy, follow me, Li Yunlong, I, Li Yunlong, have a sip of drink, can you lose you? If you want to drink, I want to drink, I have a bottle. Come on, to celebrate the elimination of Yamazaki Team, let's drink it."
This meal of wine also brought Wang Zhilong and Li Yunlong closer together. Although Li Yunlong is a donkey-tempered person, he has some wonderful ideas in war. Only those who are truly capable can be attracted by him. Wang Zhilong, who is good at kung fu and war, is undoubtedly such a person. People who are truly capable often respect and admire the strong. After all, heroes cherish each other!
Take Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, for example. In the plot of the TV series "Bright Sword", it was because of his extraordinary shooting skills in the battle between the Li Jiapo Independent Regiment and Yamazaki Brigade that Li Yunlong looked at him with a high profile and slowly recognized the political commissar.
After the Yamazaki Brigade was solved, the Independent Corps had no battles for a while, so they took advantage of the winter to strengthen their training, especially the skills of bayonet fighting. Even Li Yunlong himself learned to write at the urging of political commissar Zhao Gang.
Naturally, Wang Zhilong's reconnaissance platoon also began to expand. With Wang Zhilong's careful selection, it soon increased to thirty or forty people.
Wang Zhilong's outstanding performance in dealing with Yamazaki's brigade and the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance squad also made Li Yunlong realize the role of a small group of elite troops in the battlefield. Therefore, he deliberately killed a pig during training to screen people with skills in the regiment, and incorporated into the Guard Platoon and Wang Zhilong's reconnaissance squad to use as a sharp knife on the battlefield in the future.
As the saying goes, quiet and thought about moving. Taking advantage of the winter, the Jinsui Army sent an officer observation group to visit and study. It was this opportunity that Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
When Chu Yunfei and Captain Sun Ming of the Shanxi Sui Army came to the Independent Regiment, Wang Zhilong happened to come back with a reconnaissance platoon. When he heard that Chu Yunfei was coming, he couldn't help but be curious to rush over and want to join in the fun.
When Wang Zhilong arrived, Zhang Dabiao was leading the Big Sword Team of the Independent Regiment to train. Captain Sun Ming, who was under Chu Yunfei, showed his hand and pierced two sandbags with his fingers. Then, under Li Yunlong's order, the monk who did not follow Wang Zhilong to investigate today shouted and kicked down a wall.
"Monkey, your feet are itchy. You are destroying the property of the masses. Be careful of the political commissar training you," Wang Zhilong, who chuckled, bent down and picked up half of the brick before Zhao Gang scolded the monk. He walked over. With his fingers, the half of the head turned into pieces and turned into pieces of slag and powder fell down the gap between his fingers.
Captain Sun Ming's face changed slightly when he saw this scene. Even Chu Yunfei beside Li Yunlong couldn't help but look at Wang Zhilong with his eyes narrowed.
"Haha...Wang Zhilong, come on, the Commander Chu of the Jinsui Army mentioned you just now!" Li Yunlong greeted Wang Zhilong with a smile.
Wang Zhilong, who walked straight forward, raised his hand to Chu Yunfei casually and said, "Wang Zhilong, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the Independent Regiment, have met the commander!"
"Okay, Commander Li is really full of talents!" Looking at Chu Yunfei, who nodded slightly, then turned to Li Yunlong beside him and said, "It's just that such a talent, being a small reconnaissance platoon leader is really a bit insignificant!"
"Haha, Captain Chu, I am just a leader. My subordinates are very limited, so everyone can arrange it!" Li Yunlong said with a grin.
Chu Yunfei smiled and didn't say much. He realized that Li Yunlong was a guy who refused to suffer losses, and even if he had the loss in his mouth, he would not be willing to take any of it!
