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

Chapter 190 I’m fighting the elite

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he looked at everyone present.

"Do you have any other ideas about this operation against Yangquan?"

Zhao Gang at the side interrupted and said, "Brigade Commander, according to the commander's combat arrangement, our independent brigade only needs to conduct a feint attack on Yangquan. Your arrangement is completely beyond the original plan."

Li Yunlong stared at Zhao Gang.

"Political Commissar, our independent brigade is now fully capable of launching a full-scale attack on Yangquan City. The commander's goal is to attract reinforcements from other places. My arrangement does not conflict with the commander's plan, and it can also eliminate more Japanese devils and destroy infrastructure."

"Besides, I am the commander of the independent brigade, and I have the final say on the specific implementation plan."

Zhao Gang nodded after hearing what Li Yunlong said.

At this time, the communicator ran into the command center and shouted.

"Report to the brigade commander, the commander called."

"read"

"Order the independent brigade to launch an attack on Yangquan as soon as possible and cooperate with the column's actions."

"Okay, I understand. Go call the commander back and tell him that the independent brigade will launch an attack on Yangquan City tomorrow."

"Yes, Brigadier."

After the communicator left, Li Yunlong turned and looked at everyone in the command center.

"Everyone, you just heard the commander's order. I originally planned to launch an attack on Yangquan in two days, but now it seems that we must launch the attack tomorrow."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong discussed the combat operations arrangements with everyone in the command center.

After everyone finally reached a consensus, Li Yunlong made the announcement on the spot.

"Zhang Dabiao, listen to my orders. I order you to lead a regiment to launch an attack on the front of Yangquan City and occupy the outer defensive positions of the Japanese devils, ............."

"Yes, Brigade Commander. The first regiment is guaranteed to complete the mission." Zhang Dabiao answered loudly.

Li Yunlong turned and looked at the second captain Shen Quan.

"Shen Quan, listen to my orders. I order you to lead the Second Regiment to attack the railway station east of Yangquan City. After occupying the railway station, blow it up completely. Don't leave any useful things for the Japanese devils,........."

"Yes, Brigade Commander. The Second Regiment guarantees to complete the mission."

"Third Regiment Commander, listen up. I order you to lead the soldiers of the Third Regiment to attack Hill No. 1 west of Yangquan City and capture the Japanese positions on Hill No. 1."

"The First and Second Artillery Regiments set up artillery positions outside Yangquan City. After the general offensive was launched, they bombarded the Japanese soldiers on the outer positions of Yangquan City and on Hill No. 1.

After cooperating with the infantry to capture these two positions and Hill No. 1, the artillery regiment immediately moved to Hill No. 1 to establish a position and launch an artillery attack on the Japanese in Yangquan City. "

"Yes, Brigade Commander, we will ensure that the mission is completed." Several people responded in unison.

Li Yunlong looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at his watch and said.

"Everyone, it's 10:00 p.m. now. Everyone go back and prepare. We will launch the attack at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning."

After receiving the combat order, everyone left the command center one after another.

Zhao Gang walked up to Li Yunlong and said worriedly.

"Commander, the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese in Yangquan City is an elite force of the Japanese. Their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. With the current strength of our independent brigade, except that our artillery force is stronger than theirs, we can't get any advantage in other aspects."

Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang with a smile.

"Elite, I'm fighting the elite.

Political Commissar, you underestimate the combat effectiveness of our independent brigade. I guarantee that I will surprise you tomorrow. Just wait and see."

It's quiet at night.

The lights were on at the independent brigade's base, and the soldiers were busy maintaining and cleaning their weapons and equipment.

The attack on Yangquan will be launched early tomorrow morning. The soldiers have not had enough fun in the battles over the past few days. Now they can finally fight a big battle. Every soldier is very excited.

"Battalion Commander, I heard that there will be artillery support for us before the battle tomorrow."

"Yes, that's right. For this attack on Yangquan, the commander transferred two artillery regiments to our brigade commander for command."

"Oh yeah, that's great. I've been fighting for so many years, but I've never been so excited. I couldn't even imagine having artillery support before."

"Hahaha, I'll let you see enough tomorrow. Okay, go to bed now."

...........

Day 2.

At 4:00 a.m., the assembly horns sounded in the camps of the various units of the Independent Brigade.

"Hurry, hurry, everyone, get up and assemble."

"Don't waste time, gather quickly."

Officers and fighters from various units shouted loudly in the ranks.

The soldiers woke up immediately when they heard the horn, picked up their guns and ran to the assembly point.

20 minutes later, the regiments of the independent brigade began to move towards their predetermined combat objectives.

In the dark night, the soldiers of the independent brigade ran quickly on the mountain road. In order to prevent being discovered in advance by the Japanese, no light was allowed.

If an ordinary person were to walk in the dark night, he would definitely lose his direction, but for the Eighth Route Army, it was a piece of cake.

Night marching is what the Eighth Route Army is best at. Since marching during the day would be discovered by the Japanese, every Eighth Route Army soldier has developed the ability to accurately find the route ahead in the dark.

5:30 am.

The sky was just beginning to gray.

After more than an hour's march, all units of the independent brigade had arrived at their combat positions.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others stood on a small hill outside Yangquan City, with an artillery position behind them.

There were eighty infantry guns and 60 107 rocket launchers placed on the artillery position, and the artillery soldiers were busy debugging the cannons.

Li Yunlong looked towards Yangquan with a telescope. In his field of vision, there were a few Japanese soldiers standing guard and patrolling on the defensive positions outside Yangquan City, and the rest were probably still sleeping.

There were a large number of Japanese soldiers patrolling in the direction of the railway station. The destruction of the railway by the Eighth Route Army in recent days made the Japanese soldiers feel scared, so they increased a large number of patrol teams along the railway.

After Li Dazhu and Wang Chengzhu had made all the preparations, they trotted over to Li Yunlong.

"Report to the brigade commander, the artillery is ready and can fire at any time."

Li Yunlong put down the telescope and turned to look at the two people.

"Li Dazhu, the 10st Artillery Regiment will launch an artillery attack on the Japanese on Hill No. 1 in minutes."

"Zhu Zi, the Second Artillery Regiment will launch an artillery attack on the defensive positions outside Yangquan City in 10 minutes."

"I have only one request. You have to accurately fire the shells at the enemy positions in the shortest possible time. Can you do it?"

"Yes, Brigade Commander, we will ensure that the mission is completed." The two responded in unison.
