Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Chapter 250: Xiaotangshan Battle

When Li Yunlong heard Chen Yan's attitude, he immediately smiled.

"I said that you still have a conscience. How could you just ignore the common people?"

Chen Yan said, "Old Li, stop flattering me and quickly take out the battle map under your butt.

I saw it a long time ago. The fox's tail has been exposed, but you are still showing off.

Tell me where you want to hit me, I'm going to sleep soon and I don't have time to deal with you."

Old Yunlong said in a sarcastic tone, "Chen'er is still the best," and immediately took out the battle map.

Under the dim light, the three giants began to discuss combat ideas.

"Look here," Li Yunlong pointed to a place called Nangang, "We are familiar with this place, we have sent people there before.

The Japanese have occupied this place recently. The reason I chose this place is that there are no military buildings as shelters, and now the Japanese are living in civilian houses, there are about 200 of them, so it is easier to attack them."

At this time, Chen Yan's attention was not on Nangang. Suddenly, he turned his sights to Xiaotangshan.

This is a no man's land, with a small village of about 20 households. The Japanese usually don't take this place seriously, but this time the devils stationed dozens of soldiers here.

"Lao Li, Lao Zhao, what do you think about attacking here first?" Chen Yan pointed to the location of Xiaotangshan.

Zhao Gang kept turning the pencil in his hand, "Xiaotangshan is not a military strategic location. To put it bluntly, it is useless. There is no gain from attacking it. What's the point of attacking here?"

“When I came back from Shanghai two days ago, I heard from the local people that this place had just been occupied by the Japanese.

Although this place is not a strategic location, it is too close to our Heiyun Village.

Our column not only had to complete the transfer to the Lanqiao Arsenal, but also, as the chief's protection force, frequent troop movements in the future would easily expose our intelligence.

From another perspective, the Japanese are driving a wedge at the doorstep of my home, Chen Yan. How can we tolerate that? Therefore, I suggest we attack here first to get rid of this thorn in our side."

"That's fine. No matter how small a fly's legs are, they're still meat," Li Yunlong smacked his lips, somewhat reluctantly.

"What's the matter, Mr. Li? You are still quite picky about food."

"There's nothing I can do. You're a higher-ranking official and you can crush people. You're the leader, so you can hit people wherever you want."

"Stop talking to me about those useless things. I have decided on this matter. We will fight in Xiaotangshan."

Chen Yan threw the pen on the table, crossed his legs, and stared into Li Yunlong's eyes.

Li Yunlong sighed helplessly, "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare, and beat him up tomorrow night."

"What the hell?" Chen Yan questioned Li Yunlong, "It's just such a trivial matter, and you plan to go back and think about it for a whole day?"

Li Yunlong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "What do you mean?"

"What else do you mean? The assembly call will be blown soon. We will set out tonight and must be back before dawn tomorrow morning.

Just use the people from your mixed brigade for manpower. You don’t need to bring too many. A company will be enough.

There are at most 70 or 80 Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, so one company should be no problem."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong threw the map into the air, his face immediately filled with displeasure:

"Then you are not talking nonsense. We are all new recruits, are you kidding me?"

Go ask Kong Erlangzi whether the veterans in his company dare to confront 70 or 80 Japanese soldiers head-on."

Chen Yan hugged his shoulders, looking disdainful:

"Okay, Li Yunlong, your eloquence has improved.

And I've learned to draw inferences from one instance.

Stop confusing us. What kind of weapons do those idiot troops have? They probably even have muskets.

As for you, I asked you when I came back, you took away all the light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns in the warehouse, and now the worst ones your men are using are the Zhongzheng, and you are still complaining about it."

After listening to Chen Yan's words, Li Yunlong's attitude immediately softened.

"But... my people... have no battlefield experience!"

"Isn't the purpose of fighting a war to help your soldiers gain experience? Why, you want me to give you a year or so so that your men can form combat effectiveness?

Since when did you, Old Li, become like a woman and become so soft-hearted?

I, Chen Yan, don't want soldiers who can only look but not be used in my army."

Chen Yan scolded Li Yunlong harshly, his teeth chattering in anger!

“How about this, gather all the veterans of the special operations battalion.

Xiaotangshan is open on all sides. I will lead the special operations battalion to surround three sides, and you will lead your men to attack from one side.

It's ok to just close the door and beat the dog, you can play however you want then.

You, Li Yunlong, don't understand how to teach your soldiers, so I, Chen Yan, can just feed them one bite at a time."

After saying that, Chen Yan kicked the stool away angrily and walked out alone.

Looking at Chen Yan's back, Li Yunlong said aggrievedly:

"Old Zhao, I led 2000 soldiers with the column today, and Chen'er said that I, Li Yunlong, don't know how to lead troops. He said such an excessive thing. I feel so wronged."

"Okay, Lao Li, please say less. I am very surprised about something now. Chen'er is angry, but this is his room, why did he leave?"

At this time, Chen Yan walked out of his room, turned a corner, and came to the backyard. Seeing that there was no light in the room, he took out a dagger, inserted it into the crack of the door, and opened the bolt inside little by little, making very little noise.

He opened the door carefully and listened carefully. It seemed that the person had already fallen asleep.

He tiptoed to the bedside, without saying hello, and crawled into the quilt like a scoundrel, pretending to be fast asleep.

At that time, a scream was heard from the house, and Chen Yan was still pretending to be asleep.

Tang Rui huddled together in fear, facing the darkness at a loss, but she knew there was another person on the bed, but she didn't know who it was.

Terror instantly swept through her body, and she subconsciously took out a pistol from under the pillow. But just as she took it out, Chen Yan deliberately turned over in his sleep and knocked the pistol to the ground.

Tang Rui was even more frightened at this moment. Tears began to well up in her eyes. Suddenly she shouted at the door:

"Chen Yan, where are you?"

At this time, Chen Yan turned over and quickly hugged Tang Rui:

"Wife, I'm here, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Tang Rui was so scared that her mind went blank. Only when she heard Chen Yan's voice did she calm down. She hid in Chen Yan's arms and hugged him tightly.

After a long while, Tang Rui finally reacted. With red and swollen eyes, she looked at Chen Yan's sharp face and felt extremely angry.

Although she was filled with hatred, the fear in her heart had not yet dissipated, so she still hid in Chen Yan's arms and trembled.

Chen Yan put Tang Rui's head against his face. He didn't expect that a joke would scare Tang Rui so much.

In his impression, Tang Rui has always been a strong and independent girl, but he overlooked that Tang Rui is also a woman who needs to be relied on.

He said softly:

"Wife, I was wrong to yell at you yesterday.

If I scared you again today, I would be totally wrong.

Don't cry, my heart is melting."
