Chapter 52: Li Yunlong, Who Is Overjoyed

Three days later, at a military base in a certain region of South China.

The Brigade Commander rushed into the operations room in high spirits, holding a telegram in his hand: "Good news! The Military Department has approved our request. They will send us another three hundred new-style weapons, which will arrive next week!"

Li Yingzhang was overjoyed upon hearing this: "That's great! With this batch of weapons, we can expand our battle results and completely dismantle the enemy's defensive system in this area."

The Brigade Commander nodded, but his expression turned serious again: "At the same time, our superiors have also sent new intelligence. The enemy has realized the power of our new weapons. It is said that they have dispatched specialized small units, attempting to capture our weapons or take our soldiers alive."

Li Yingzhang gave a cold laugh: "Let them come. With this batch of weapons, I'd like to see who can get close to us."

The Brigade Commander patted his shoulder: "Do not lower your guard. Our superiors have ordered us to keep the situation regarding these weapons strictly confidential, especially the transformation mechanism and internal structure. If there is a risk of being captured, the weapons must be destroyed; they cannot be allowed to fall into enemy hands."

"Understood, I will convey this order to all soldiers," Li Yingzhang said solemnly.

Just as the two were speaking, a communicator ran in hurriedly: "Report to the Brigade Commander, the scout team has discovered an enemy battalion advancing toward our Sanhao Qianshao. Contact is expected in two hours."

The Brigade Commander and Li Yingzhang looked at each other, both revealing expressions filled with fighting spirit.

"Perfect, let them witness the might of our new weapons!" The Brigade Commander slammed the table and stood up, "Li Yingzhang, take two companies of troops, set an ambush at the Yamaguchi, and give the enemy a head-on blow!"

Li Yingzhang gave a military salute: "Guarantee to complete the mission!"

……

Two hours later, at a narrow Yamaguchi between the mountains.

The two companies led by Li Yingzhang had already hidden in the jungles on both sides of the Yamaguchi according to the most advantageous formation.

Every soldier was equipped with that magical Bianxing Buxiang, with sufficient ammunition and high morale.

"The enemy has entered our field of vision, distance is two kilometers," the Scout reported.

Li Yingzhang raised his binoculars and saw an enemy battalion of about four hundred men slowly advancing along the mountain road.

They cautiously sent out outposts, constantly scouting the surrounding environment, clearly vigilant against a possible ambush.

"They have learned their lesson and become careful," Li Yingzhang said softly, "but it's useless."

"Proceed according to the plan. Wait until the enemy has fully entered the Yamaguchi before opening fire. Remember, first take out the officers and communicators, then the operators of the heavy weapons, and finally deal with the ordinary soldiers."

The soldiers gripped the Rifles in their hands, waiting silently for the order.

The enemy troops moved forward slowly, gradually entering the narrow area of the Yamaguchi.

Although they were cautious, as they found no abnormalities, their formation gradually relaxed, and they began to increase their speed.

"Prepare," Li Yingzhang said in a low voice, raising the Rifle in his hand.

The enemy's main force had completely entered the Yamaguchi, with the vanguard about five hundred meters away from the rearguard; it was their most vulnerable moment.

"Fire!" Li Yingzhang gave the order and pulled the trigger at the same time.

Dense gunfire suddenly erupted from both sides of the Yamaguchi.

In the first round of shooting, almost all of the enemy's officers and communicators fell simultaneously, and the operators of the Heavy Machine Guns and Mortars were also precisely killed.

The enemy's ranks were thrown into chaos. The soldiers panicked and scrambled to find cover, but the snipers of our army on both sides of the Yamaguchi were so accurate that even if a helmet was exposed, it would be hit immediately.

"This is impossible!" The enemy Lieutenant Colonel Ma Hongda watched in shock as his troops fell one after another under the precise firepower, "How can they shoot so accurately at this distance?!"

The enemy tried to organize a counterattack, and the Heavy Machine Gunner fired desperately at the hillside, but only more precise point-fire awaited them, with every shot taking a life.

"Change positions, prepare for close combat!" Li Yingzhang ordered, personally leading a platoon to break through from the flank.

The soldiers quickly pressed the mechanism on their weapons, and the long Rifles instantly shortened and transformed into Tuji Buxiang, which were more suitable for close-quarters combat.

They appeared on the enemy's flank like Ghosts, their dense firepower like the scythe of death, sweeping away all enemies.

"What... what is this hellish thing?" an enemy soldier shouted in terror, witnessing our soldiers' weapons transform before his eyes, too shocked to even fire.

The next second, he fell forever.

The battle was one-sided from the very beginning.

The enemy's superior numbers were no match for our precise firepower; their accustomed combat distances and cover were meaningless in the face of such long-range weapons.

In less than forty minutes, two-thirds of the four hundred-plus enemy troops were lying in pools of blood, and the remaining soldiers began to flee in defeat.

"Pursue! Do not let them escape the Yamaguchi!" Li Yingzhang ordered.

At the exit of the Yamaguchi, our army's second echelon, which had long been lying in ambush, began to fire, pressing the fleeing enemy back into the battlefield.

The enemy was attacked from both front and rear, falling into a desperate situation.

"Surrender! We surrender!" The remaining enemy soldiers threw down their weapons one after another and raised their hands.

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Hongda watched his entire unit get wiped out, his heart turning to ash.

This was not a failure of tactics, but a generational gap in weaponry and equipment.

The enemy's magical Bianxing Buxiang completely overturned the rules of the traditional battlefield.

……

"Battle over, clear the battlefield," Li Yingzhang ordered, looking with satisfaction at this perfect ambush.

In less than an hour, over three hundred and twenty of the four hundred-plus enemy troops were killed, over eighty were captured, and our army only had three soldiers slightly injured.

Such lopsided battle results were unimaginable in the past.

That night, at the Military Department headquarters.

"This batch of weapons is just so damn awesome!" Military Department Chief Li Yunlong reported excitedly to his superior on the other end of the phone,

"In two major battles, our army annihilated nearly five hundred enemy troops with minimal casualties. On this point alone, it is worth equipping them on a large scale!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then a dignified voice came through: "I have already received the report; these weapons are indeed outstanding. However, production capacity is limited, so for the time being, we can only prioritize equipping your unit. Please use them with care, and at the same time, keep them strictly confidential."

Li Yunlong agreed repeatedly: "Yes, Chief! We will definitely use them well and will never let the organization's expectations down!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong let out a long sigh of relief and turned to the Chief of Staff beside him:

"Zhang Dabiao, pass on my order to immediately draft a new tactical plan to fully utilize the advantages of the new weapons. Tell Li Yingzhang to prepare for a larger-scale operation; while the enemy hasn't recovered yet, give them a fatal blow!"

The Chief of Staff gave a military salute and left quickly.

Li Yunlong looked at the operations map on the wall, a smile of certain victory on his face.

This unit was no ordinary army, but a special elite force, known within the military as the "Lightning Scout Battalion."

The predecessor of this troop can be traced back to Jin Xibei during the war years.
