Thirty miles north of Liao County, Li Yunlong successfully joined the 772nd Regiment with the soldiers of the Independent Regiment.

At this time, the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment were busy burying landmines and making traps. In order to delay the steps of the Japanese who went south to reinforce the south to the greatest extent, the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment arranged a large number of landmines and traps on the road to the south.

During this period, the Independent Regiment experienced many battles, and the same was true for the 772nd Regiment. There were less than 500 soldiers from the 772nd Regiment who came to block the Japanese reinforcements, and some of them were injured. The Independent Regiment attacked the Japanese Liao County, and the 772nd Regiment was not idle either. Commander Cheng led the 772nd Regiment to kill several Japanese strongholds.

If it weren't for the order from the division headquarters, Commander Cheng might have continued to lead the 772nd Regiment to attack the Japanese strongholds. There was no way, and the landlords' family had no surplus grain. After frequent battles during this period, there would be fewer ammunition from the 772nd Regiment, and attacking the Japanese strongholds could be somewhat supplemented.

After all, compared with the Eighth Route Army battles, the Japanese equipped with more bullets, each Japanese carried at least 120 rounds of ammunition. When they were about to engage in frequent battles, they carried more bullets. In the eyes of Captain Cheng and Li Yunlong, the Japanese were living ammunition transporters, and they were all delivered to their mouths. It was naturally impossible not to eat them.

"Blind Cheng, you should first bring the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment to arrange mines and traps. The soldiers of our independent regiment have just attacked the Liao County of the Japanese and need to rest." Seeing Captain Cheng, Li Yunlong said directly.

Commander Cheng nodded. He could see the status of the independent regiment soldiers. With the situation of the independent regiment soldiers, it would be impossible to directly commit to burying landmines and creating traps. Even if the soldiers were forced to order them to do this, these independent regiment soldiers would not have too high efficiency.

Moreover, Captain Cheng also knew how difficult it would be to fight the Japanese county town. From the number of soldiers brought by Li Yunlong, he knew that the Independent Regiment had suffered considerable casualties in order to capture the Liao County town.

"Leave this kind of thing to our 772nd Regiment. Your independent Regiment will take a break first." Captain Cheng said directly.

Li Yunlong brought the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to rest. With the 772nd Regiment here, there is naturally no need to worry about safety. Li Yunlong was still very relieved about the 772nd Regiment led by Cheng Xiazi. Just a glance just now, he could see that Cheng Xiazi had done everything he could do.

Cheng Xiazi did a good job in burying landmines, creating traps, and building blocking positions. It is also because there are no bridges in this area, otherwise Cheng Xiazi would definitely blow up the bridge directly to block the Japanese's reinforcements.

"Genzi, you can take the artillery company to rest for a while. I'm afraid the Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon." Li Yunlong explained to Liu Gen.

Liu Gen nodded. He knew that the Japanese came from Heshun. Heshun was less than forty kilometers away from Liao County. At the speed of the Japanese marching, there was not much time left for the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment. It was just that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment had just experienced the battle and did not undergo a certain rest, so problems were easily arisen.

"Captain, I will first observe the surrounding terrain, find a suitable artillery position before choosing to rest." Liu Gen said.

Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen and after careful observation, he could see that Liu Gen was not very tired.

"Okay, then you guys go, take the monk and be careful." Li Yunlong explained.

Liu Gen shook his head, "The leader of the regiment, the monk is a little tired to charge with the soldiers. I just want to go around here by myself. With the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment here, I will definitely not encounter any danger."

Li Yunlong looked around and wanted to find the monk's figure. Finally, after seeing the monk lying on the ground and falling asleep, he could only nod.

As the leader of the regiment, Li Yunlong was unable to charge with the soldiers. Zhang Dabiao's injuries had not yet been recovered, so he had to let the monk lead the soldiers to charge. It has to be said that the monk is a natural powerful general. Every time he charges, he is in the front and kills the most Japanese.

"Okay, then you guys should be careful. If you are in danger, come back directly." Li Yunlong nodded and said.

Liu Gen left Li Yunlong and looked for a place suitable for artillery company positions around him. There were not many artillery shells in the artillery company. In the next battle, the artillery company needed to play its due role in each artillery shell and could not be wasted at all.

A good enough artillery position can help the artillery company better shell the enemy, and in addition to avoid being discovered by the Japanese artillery. Constantly looking for a suitable artillery position, Liu Gen was walking behind the 772nd Regiment, and he could see the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment preparing their defensive positions with great care.

The choice of blocking the Japanese reinforcements by positional warfare was also because this area did not have the appropriate terrain to harass the Japanese. There were mountains on both sides of the road leading to Liao County from Heshun to Liao County, but it was too far away from the road. If the harassing war was carried out, it would be difficult to affect the Japanese.

Therefore, if you want to stop the Japanese from reinforcing, you can only choose to fight a positional battle with the Japanese!

Half an hour later, Liu Gen found several suitable places as artillery positions. Considering the issue of retreat, the places he found were relatively hidden, and it was not easy to be discovered by the Japanese when retreating.

As for whether the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment could directly kill the Japanese reinforcements, Liu Gen did not have much hope. With the strength of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, there were less than 800 people in total. The reinforcements that the Japanese put down from the Heshun direction were an infantry brigade, almost equivalent to the forces of the two regiments.

In addition, the soldiers had just experienced battles and were not energetic. There were not enough shells left in the artillery company. It was undoubtedly impossible to kill the infantry brigades that the Japanese came to reinforce. Liu Gen could also see that the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment dug out several trenches when digging trenches. I think Commander Cheng didn't think he could kill the infantry brigades that the Japanese reinforced.

There is no way, who has allowed the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment to go through too many battles? Such many battles have reduced the combat effectiveness of the two regiments a lot. If the troops are not strong enough and the equipment is not as good as the Japanese, how can they be the Japanese opponents when fighting?

Back at the rest of the Independent Corps warriors, Liu Gen could see that the soldiers were all asleep. The battle to attack Liao County tonight consumed too much physical strength. But when he was looking at the soldiers, Liu Gen found that there was no Li Yunlong here.

Noting this, Liu Gen walked quickly toward the surroundings. Where did Li Yunlong go? Why not rest here? As he was looking around quickly, Liu Gen soon found Li Yunlong's figure. However, under the moonlight, Li Yunlong's figure seemed a little lonely.
