Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

Chapter 219 Ambush at Huanggouling

Zhao Gang said hurriedly: "Brigade Commander, we don't have many troops at the moment. Apart from the brigade's guard battalion, we only have half a battalion of perimeter guard soldiers. All together, there are less than 800 people."

Li Yunlong said, "Political Commissar, the independent brigade's regiments are not far from Mazipo now. As long as we find a way to delay the Japanese, the three regiments will be able to arrive in time to encircle the Japanese regiment."

"The Japanese army is now alone and deep in the territory of Heyuan County. The Japanese troops in other places have not yet taken action. We will have one day to launch a siege against the Japanese army."

As Li Yunlong spoke, he gestured on the map and analyzed the current situation in detail to Zhao Gang.

His eyes were fixed on Mazipo and the location of the Japanese army regiment on the map, like a hunter staring at his prey.

"Commissar, I promise you, give me one day. If we fail to kill the Japanese regiment within one day, the independent brigade will immediately withdraw and enter the mountains."

Li Yunlong knew it was a risk, but he was willing to try it for victory.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Zhao Gang pondered for a moment. He knew that with Li Yunlong's character, he would do it even if he disagreed.

He understood Li Yunlong's determination and his judgment on the battlefield, but he was also worried about the risks involved.

Zhao Gang said, "Brigade Commander, I agree with your action, but there is one thing. If we cannot defeat the Japanese regiment within one day, we must retreat."

There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but more of it was a sense of responsibility towards the entire independent brigade.

"No problem, Political Commissar. I am confident that we can wipe out the Japanese regiment within one day." Li Yunlong assured.

He believed in his command ability and also believed in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the independent brigade.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong ordered the correspondent to send urgent telegrams to each regiment.

The communicators quickly converted the instructions into radio waves and transmitted them to various regiment headquarters.

.........

1st Independent Brigade.

After receiving the telegram, the correspondent realized its importance and immediately reported it to Zhang Dabiao.

"Report to the regiment commander, the brigade commander sent an urgent message."

The communicator's voice was clear and loud, breaking the original calm in the command center.

Zhang Dabiao took the telegram and looked at it, his eyes quickly scanning the text.

The next second he shouted, "Guards, pass on my order. All the troops must assemble immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

The guard accepted the order and quickly turned around and left the command center.

The deputy head of the group asked, "Captain, what happened?"

Zhang Dabiao replied: "The brigade headquarters called just now and ordered us to rush to Huanggouling as quickly as possible to surround the Japanese regiment."

The deputy regiment commander exclaimed: "Huanggouling is not far from Mazipo. It seems that the devils have discovered the location of the headquarters."

A look of worry appeared on his face as he realized the seriousness of the situation.

If the Japanese really discovered the headquarters, it would pose a huge threat to the independent brigade.

"That's right. This group of Japanese devils are heading for our headquarters. The brigade commander ordered us to get to Huanggouling as quickly as possible and eliminate this group of Japanese devils." Zhang Dabiao explained.

Almost at the same time.

The other two regiments of the independent brigade were also gathering urgently.

The Second Regiment led by Shen Quan and the Third Regiment led by Duan Peng set off quickly after receiving the order.

In the camp of the Second Regiment, after hearing the order to assemble, the soldiers quickly packed their equipment and ran to assemble.

Shen Quan stood in front of the team, giving various instructions before departure with a serious look.

In the Third Regiment, Duan Peng was also organizing the troops quickly. The soldiers' eyes were full of desire to fight, and they advanced towards Huanggouling without hesitation.

...........

Huanggou Ridge.

The terrain here is like a natural pocket, with towering hills on both sides and a narrow road in the middle, making it an ideal ambush location.

Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the guard battalion to ambush on the hillsides on both sides of Huanggouling. The soldiers lay quietly in the grass, like cheetahs hiding in the dark, waiting for the arrival of the Ikeda Regiment.

Although the ambush troops consisted of less than 800 people, the weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness of the guard battalion were no weaker than those of the front-line combat troops.

Li Yunlong lay on the hillside and told Zhao Gang beside him: "Political Commissar, when the next battle starts, you must hide well and don't show your head easily. Bullets on the battlefield have no eyes."

His eyes were full of concern. On this dangerous battlefield, he didn't want his political commissar to make any mistakes.

"Don't worry, Brigade Commander. Although I seldom go to the front line, my shooting skills are not bad." Zhao Gang said confidently.

He held the gun tightly in his hand with a firm look in his eyes, showing that he was not a weakling who could be easily hit by the enemy.

Li Yunlong turned to the guard beside him and said, "Guard, pass the order. The Japanese are coming. Everyone must stay out of sight and stay hidden."

The guard nodded seriously, then crouched down and carefully passed on the order.

After 10 minutes.

The Japanese soldiers from the Ikeda Regiment entered Huanggouling.

They walked along with a swagger, unaware of the approaching danger.

The commander of the regiment, Ikeda Kimori, asked the adjutant next to him, "Adjutant, how far are we from Mazipo now?"

The adjutant quickly took out a map and started to check it.

"Captain, we are now at Huanggou Ridge, 3 kilometers away from Mazipo."

“Yoshi.

Order the troops to advance at full speed, without firing guns, and quietly enter the village. After passing Huanggou Ridge, immediately divide the troops to surround Mazipo.

There was a gleam of excitement in Ikeda Kimori's eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"Hai."

The Japanese adjutant quickly turned around and went down to convey the order.

Ikeda Kimori was in a very happy mood. When he thought about destroying the Eighth Route Army's headquarters, he became extremely excited and had no sense of vigilance at all.

Faced with the terrain of Huanggouling, he did not send out scouts to investigate the hillsides on both sides, but instead advanced at full speed.

at the same time.

Li Yunlong was lying on the hillside and saw that the Japanese soldiers rushed straight into Huanggouling without any stop. He felt that the Japanese commander was like a novice, which made him feel relieved.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he secretly rejoiced at the stupidity of his enemy.

As the large Japanese force entered the ambush circle, Li Yunlong picked up a rifle and aimed at the Japanese sergeant walking in front.

He held his breath and gently pulled the trigger.

"boom."

After a crisp gunshot, the Japanese sergeant fell to the ground.

This shot was like a battle horn, instantly breaking the tranquility of Huanggouling.

"Comrades, beat him hard." Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

"Kill these little Japs." The soldiers shouted in unison.

“Da da da….”

For a moment, countless gunshots were heard on the hillsides on both sides of Huanggouling.

The gunshot echoed through the valley like thunder, deafening.

The soldiers of the guard battalion attacked the Japanese in the valley from a high position, and countless bullets flew towards the Japanese troops.

Bullets poured down like raindrops, and in an instant, the Japanese soldiers on the road fell down in rows.

After being hit by bullets, their bodies fell down like puppets with their strings cut, and their blood stained the ground red.

The soldiers quickly fired a round of bullets and then changed bullets. The powerful firing rate of the semi-automatic rifles made the firepower density of the guard battalion extremely strong.

The action of changing bullets was skillful and swift, giving the enemy almost no chance to breathe.

The Ikeda Regiment in Huanggouling was instantly stunned. They did not expect the Eighth Route Army to react so quickly.

"idiot!"

"Enemy attack, quickly disperse and hide."

The Japanese officer shouted loudly in the middle of the team, trying to organize the team to resist.

After reacting, countless Japanese soldiers quickly sought cover to avoid bullets.

They fled in all directions, panicking.

Ikeda Kimori quickly led a group of officers to hide behind a slope in the valley.
