Chapter 247 You two are so brave! Seeing that Li Yunlong still insisted that he could lead the independent regiment to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. Kong Jie and others also found something wrong. They all looked at Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong made the promise with great confidence. "I, Li Yunlong, promise, with my head, that if I can't take down the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour, I will chop off my own head and let you guys kick it around like a ball!" If Li Yunlong had said for the first time that he could capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold in an hour, Kong Jie and Ding Wei would have thought that Li Yunlong was bragging and making trouble. But at this moment, Li Yunlong said for the second time that he could capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold in an hour and even guaranteed it with his life. Then the situation is different. We are all old comrades, and everyone knows Li Yunlong's character. The first time, maybe it was because he was impulsive and wanted to brag, so he made such a boast.
But this time Li Yunlong said the same thing again, which means that Li Yunlong must be really confident that he can take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour! Although Li Yunlong was impulsive and adventurous, he would not dare to keep talking about such things. "Old Li, tell me how you took over the Zhangzhuang stronghold, how you took over the Zhangzhuang stronghold in just one hour. Lao Li, it's not that we don't trust you, but this matter is really too big. Taking over the Zhangzhuang stronghold in an hour, just like we just said, even if our four regiments launched an attack together, we were not sure to take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. You have to give us a convincing reason. At least tell me what you're going to do." Ding Wei spoke first, taking out a stack of bowls and a large teapot and placing them on the table. He indicated that these things represented the Zhangzhuang stronghold, and asked Li Yunlong to demonstrate how to take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. As soon as Ding Wei finished speaking, Kong Jie followed closely. "Yes, Lao Li, this is not a small matter for one or two platoons. It involves our four regiments. If one thing goes wrong, all four regiments will be involved. Lao Li, could you please tell me about your method? In this way, even if it is a risk, you have to know why you are taking the risk. Everyone thought it was impossible to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold in an hour, but you kept insisting, so you must have your reasons. Xiao Qin, you...Xiao Qin, do you know something?" Kong Jie was just about to bring Qin Yangming along to persuade Li Yunlong, asking Li Yunlong to talk about his own attack methods and see how to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. When Qin Yangming was mentioned just now, Kong Jie suddenly remembered that it was Qin Yangming, not Li Yunlong, who first proposed that the independent regiment could take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. Why was Qin Yangming so sure that the Independent Regiment could take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour? Although Qin Yangming is young, his brain is better than theirs. However, Qin Yangming said that the independent regiment could eliminate the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. Qin Yangming must have known how troublesome the Zhangzhuang stronghold was, but he still said that the independent regiment could take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. Qin Yangming would never make such a low-level mistake. If so, then Qin Yangming must know how Li Yunlong could eliminate the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour, or Qin Yangming must know how he could eliminate the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. As soon as Kong Jie said this, everyone reacted. Yes, why did Qin Yangming directly say that the independent regiment could eliminate the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour?
"Hey, Xiao Qin, could it be that someone in Zhangzhuang has been bribed? There are only soldiers in Zhangzhuang, and the special forces can't sneak into Zhangzhuang first. Did you bribe the puppet troops in Zhangzhuang stronghold? " Ding Wei thought of a way to quickly resolve the Zhangzhuang stronghold. No matter how strong a fortress is, it will be very easy to break it from the inside. If Qin Yangming bribed the puppet troops in the Zhangzhuang stronghold, and the puppet troops inside cooperated to attack the Japanese, then it would not take a long time to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold. Or they could simply seek help from the puppet army, sneak into the stronghold, and launch a sudden night attack. It would not be difficult to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold. It is not impossible to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold in an hour. After listening to Ding Wei's words, Qin Yangming was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head to deny it. "No, all the puppet troops in Zhangzhuang stronghold are from Chahar area, how can we bribe them? I did not bribe the puppet army, nor did I arrange for anyone to lurk in the Zhangzhuang stronghold." Qin Yangming knew why Li Yunlong was able to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. We directly used the Japanese's poison gas bombs to carry out a blanket bombing on the entire Zhangzhuang stronghold. The artillery towers, bunkers, and blockhouses built by the Japanese in the Zhangzhuang stronghold could withstand artillery shells, but could they also withstand the air? But that kind of thing only needs him and Li Yunlong to know about it. If the matter is investigated, even if there is any accident, he and Li Yunlong will have enough credit to offset such an accident. But if too many people know about it, it won’t be a good thing. So far, only Qin Yangming, Zhangye and Li Yunlong know about this. The reason why Zhangye knew about it was because it was the first to discover the poison gas bombs left behind by the Japanese devils. Seeing that Qin Yangming shook his head to deny, and Li Yunlong obviously did not intend to tell his method, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others continued to speculate. "Old Li, do you plan to capture a group of Japanese soldiers or puppet troops after you break through the Japanese stronghold along the river, and then disguise them as the retreating troops from the stronghold along the river to sneak into the Zhangzhuang stronghold, and finally take down the entire Zhangzhuang stronghold with the help of both inside and outside forces?" Xing Zhiguo took a look at the map, looked up and told Li Yunlong his opinion. Zhong Zhicheng, who was standing behind, glanced at Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming, then took the cigarette handed to him by Zhang Ye and thought. Zhong Zhicheng is the political commissar who has worked with Li Yunlong for the longest time. Zhong Zhicheng understands Li Yunlong's temper better than Zhao Gang. “This guy Li Yunlong doesn’t seem to be bragging. Capture Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour... Xiao Qin said this, he must know something, either Xiao Qin has some method, or he has some special weapons and equipment. Method... The most convenient way to attack a solid fortress is to break through from the inside. However, no matter if you sneak in or disguise yourself as a defeated soldier to enter the Zhangzhuang stronghold, the Japanese in the Zhangzhuang stronghold will definitely not be able to arrange people in the core position of the stronghold. At most, they will be in the outer area. He did not bribe the puppet troops in the stronghold, nor did he arrange for anyone to sneak in. And I don't plan to have people disguise themselves as defeated soldiers... Apart from this, besieging the stronghold and attacking the reinforcements would definitely not work. Although the strongholds along the river are important, they are not important enough to require the Japanese devils at the Zhangzhuang stronghold to send a large force to support them. Water attack... Zhangzhuang stronghold is on a high place and cannot be flooded. When the water softens the ground, the trouble will not be for the Japanese devils, but for the attacking Eighth Route Army. Fire attack was even worse. The napalm bomb that Xiao Qin had made was quite useful, but the projectile distance was too short and it was easy for the Japanese to knock it down. Fire attack was also not very effective.
In other words, there is no better way to attack the Zhangzhuang stronghold except a head-on assault. Water attack, fire attack, and fishing in troubled waters are all useless... spicy... smoked?! " Zhong Zhicheng suddenly remembered how the Japanese had captured the Zhangzhuang stronghold, and then looked up at Li Yunlong who was shaking his head at Qin Yangming. "Are these two guys trying to imitate the Japanese?!" Zhong Zhicheng thought he had guessed the method that Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming were going to use. If Li Yunlong really used this method to attack the Zhangzhuang stronghold, it would be no problem to take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold in half an hour, let alone an hour. "But where did they get that thing? No, how dare these two people hide that thing and not hand it over? It must be that Qin Yangming's vanguard regiment seized a batch of that stuff, then hid it and didn't hand it in. Otherwise, if it was seized by the independent regiment, Zhao Gang would definitely not have been unaware of it. Only Zhangye would help Qin Yangming keep this secret, or it could be said that Zhangye didn't know about this either. If Li Yunlong intends to use this method, then it can also explain why Li Yunlong is unwilling to reveal his attack method. " Looking at the expressions of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming, Zhong Zhicheng was already certain that his guess was absolutely correct. But Zhong Zhicheng didn't plan to talk about this now. There are guards everywhere, and if someone leaks the news, it will be a big trouble. It would be better for everyone to pretend that they don't know. Even if they track it down, they can use the excuse that no one knows what it is. However, when Zhong Zhicheng suddenly looked up at Li Yunlong, although Zhong Zhicheng did not feel anything wrong, Qin Yangming in front of him still noticed Zhong Zhicheng's actions. Seeing Zhong Zhicheng looking at Li Yunlong and nodding slightly, as if he had confirmed something, Qin Yangming couldn't help but admire Zhong Zhicheng. "As expected of a veteran, he has been able to partner with Li Yunlong for so long. How could it be simple? He guessed what Li Yunlong was going to do so quickly." "Alright, alright, stop asking me. I won't tell you even if you ask me. I believe in the combat capability of the independent regiment. With the combat capability of the independent regiment, we can definitely take down the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour! The rest of the combat plan was all prepared around the independent regiment being able to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. Don’t ask any more questions! ” Seeing that Kong Jie and Ding Wei kept asking questions, Li Yunlong signaled to Qin Yangming not to tell anyone about the matter. Then he made the final decision and told everyone not to ask any more questions. Seeing Li Yunlong slamming the table and refusing to reveal the attack plan, Ding Wei and Kong Jie could only shut up with deep doubts and stop asking questions. "Okay, since you don't want to tell us your method, Lao Li, then we won't ask. As an old comrade, I believe in you!" Although Li Yunlong was unwilling to say how he took over the Zhangzhuang stronghold within an hour. But as an old comrade, Ding Wei is still willing to trust Li Yunlong once and take the risk with his troops. "The worst that can happen is that you will lose your head, which will leave a big scar. You, Li Yunlong, are not afraid of death, and I, Kong Jie, am not a coward. Isn't it just an adventure? Haven't we taken enough risks? I still have the courage to gamble with you, Li Yunlong." "Hahaha……"
Seeing Ding Wei and Kong Jie expressing their opinions, Li Yunlong grinned. "You two should just be at ease. Since you are following me, if I, Li Yunlong, can eat meat, you will definitely have soup to drink!" The four group leaders made the decision. Zhao Gang and Zhong Zhicheng looked at each other and shook their heads. They are political commissars. Although they can take over the troops without going through the regiment commander, they believe that their military capabilities are not as good as any of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Qin Yangming. What they could think of, Li Yunlong and the other four commanders could not have failed to think of. Therefore, when it comes to military operations, Zhong Zhicheng and Zhao Gang fully cooperate with the orders of the military commander. Even if Zhao Gang or Zhong Zhicheng thought that the decision of Li Yunlong and others was wrong, as long as it was a combat plan and did not involve issues of principle. Then after Li Yunlong and others make the decision, Zhao Gang and others will only choose to cooperate and will never interfere. The reason why Zhao Gang stopped talking was that there were indeed no problems with the various combat plans made by Li Yunlong. Zhong Zhicheng had already guessed what Li Yunlong was going to do and knew that this seemingly ridiculous battle plan could succeed. "Commissar, do you know what the regiment commander's method is?" Xing Zhiguo looked at the laughing Li Yunlong with some concern, and asked Zhao Gang in a low voice. Listening to Xing Zhiguo's questions, Zhao Gang shook his head. "I don't know what kind of medicine Li Yunlong sells in the jar. He never told me about it." …… "If Xiao Qin leads his troops into Ping'an County first, I think the artillery battalion and heavy mortar battalion of the vanguard regiment can stay behind. Xiao Qin's vanguard group will not undertake the task of attacking the enemy for the time being. If there is no offensive mission, carrying so many artillery pieces will only slow down the marching speed. I suggest that we take half of the mules and horses from our New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment and give them to the Vanguard Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment. This way, there will be a large number of mules and horses to help carry supplies, and the marching speed of the Vanguard Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment can be greatly increased. " Looking at the map, Ding Wei put forward his own suggestions. Qin Yangming had no objection to Ding Wei's suggestion to leave behind the artillery battalion and heavy mortar battalion of the vanguard regiment. Qin Yangming discussed this matter with Li Yunlong when he first discussed it with him. After Qin Yangming leads the vanguard regiment into the Ping'an County area, the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion and heavy mortar battalion will be handed over to the independent regiment. Li Yunlong was in charge of the command so that the entire Zhangzhuang stronghold could be covered as quickly as possible. "No problem. The Vanguard Regiment will leave the artillery battalion and heavy mortar battalion behind, and the artillery battalion and heavy mortar battalion will be handed over to the Independent Regiment for use in the attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold."
