(second update)

The deputy commander-in-chief really attaches great importance to tunnel warfare.

Lunch was spent in questions and answers with Huang Yu.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were originally in charge of the Yizhong base, but at the dinner table, the two became supporting roles. The deputy commander-in-chief and Huang Yu were chatting in full swing, but it was difficult for them to get in a word.

"Comrade Huang Yu..."

The deputy commander-in-chief's name for Huang Yu has changed, which shows that the tunnel battle has raised Huang Yu's status in his heart a lot.

He said very seriously: "The tunnel battle you have created is very good and deserves to be promoted on a large scale."

"Many base areas in North China are using tunnel warfare to fight the Japanese."

"But it was just a small fight, and I never fought a big battle with the Japanese through tunnels."

"Once you set a precedent, other troops will have the experience and confidence to fight large-scale tunnel battles with the Japanese."

Li Yunlong finally found an opportunity to interject and immediately stood up: "Chief, I also fought tunnel battles with the Japs, and also fought a large-scale street battle with the Japs, wiping out two infantry brigades."

"You can't just praise Xiao Huang without praising me..."

The deputy commander laughed angrily at Li Yunlong's shamelessness and said bluntly: "Don't worry, we will discuss your matters next."

"You've been here as the deputy leader for so long, it's time to go back and become the leader."

"Kong Jie sent a telegram to the headquarters: saying that you want to stay in the Yizhong base area to serve as the leader of the newly formed sole regiment."

"I don't have a problem with that."

"But you must agree to one condition."

"Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have left you in the Yi Zhong base."

Li Yunlong's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he patted his chest in assurance.

"Don't worry, chief..."

"As long as you agree to let me stay in Yizhong Base as the regiment leader."

"I agree to all ten conditions."

The deputy commander nodded: "After the establishment of the Solitary Regiment, it has no affiliation with the Solitary Second Regiment in terms of organization and can operate freely in the base area in the wing."

"But if you encounter a large-scale military operation, your sole regiment must obey the command of the sole regiment."

"You kid must also listen to Kong Jie."

After hearing this condition, Li Yunlong wanted to curse.

Both of them are regiment leaders, and they are both old comrades from the same class, so why should I listen to him?

The deputy commander-in-chief knew what Li Yunlong was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, and criticized him unceremoniously: "Don't be unconvinced, kid."

"In terms of combat experience in commanding and fighting big battles, you really can't compare to Comrade Kong Jie."

"Kong Jie works calmly, considers everything comprehensively, makes decisions before taking action, and does not act impulsively."

"You kid likes to make mistakes when encountering problems. With Kong Jie suppressing you, it will only do you good and no harm."

Speaking of this, the deputy commander suddenly said to Kong Jie.

"You should have told Li Yunlong about your plan to hit Tianjin Pier, right?"

Kong Jie looked embarrassed and said: "I told you..."

"If I hadn't told him, Lao Li wouldn't have chosen to stay in the Yizhong base."

The deputy commander suddenly reacted: "I'm just wondering why Li Yunlong suddenly wants to stay in the Yizhong base."

"When I first sent him here, I was very reluctant."

"It turns out that I smelled blood here and wanted to stay and fight a big battle..."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Li Yunlong again: "The difficulty of raiding Tianjin Pier is very high."

"In addition to the wide scope of operations and the large number of troops participating in the battle, other Eighth Route Army forces are also required to coordinate operations."

"Kong Jie has been to Tianjin and is obviously more suitable to be a commander than you."

Li Yunlong knows his shortcomings better than anyone else.

He has a bad temper and likes to talk...

This kind of character is not common in my own army, after all, I am facing only my own subordinates.

But if he is allowed to deal with other troops and fight together, this character will cause a lot of trouble.

No matter how unwilling I am, I have to accept this fact.

He bit the bullet and assured the deputy commander: "Please don't worry, chief."

"I, Li Yunlong, know the difference between the important and the important."

"If the Yizhong base area encounters any big battle, I will definitely cooperate with and support Lao Kong unconditionally."

The deputy commander-in-chief was obviously very satisfied with this answer, and immediately took out an appointment document from his body: "This is given to you by the command headquarters."

"From now on, you are the leader and political commissar of the newly established regiment in the Yizhong base area."

Seeing Li Yunlong put away the documents like a baby, the serious expression on his face was replaced by a smile, and he immediately walked to the map.

"Let's discuss one last thing."

"Although the Yizhong Base Area won the counter-mopping campaign, it also paid a huge price."

"If Neji Okamura loses at your hands, he will definitely not let it go."

"I think the Japanese army in North China will launch a new round of sweeps against you as soon as they regain their strength, and this time will come soon."

"Kill one thousand enemies, but suffer eight hundred losses."

"Ningji Okamura should be able to find out your approximate casualties."

"The sooner you launch a new round of sweeps, the weaker your strength will be and the higher their chances of winning will be."

"As the commander of the North China Front, he will definitely not miss this good opportunity."

"So the pressure you are facing now is no less than during the big sweeps."

"Let me know what you plan to do and whether you have any specific plans in mind."

"Have you come up with the battle plan for raiding Tianjin dock? Let's discuss it together."

Huang Yu stood up first: "Report to the chief..."

"I have a preliminary idea..."

"They say offense is the best defense."

"If you want to defend the base in Yinzhong, you cannot rely solely on defense."

"We should take the initiative and hit the Japanese hard before they launch a new round of raids, disrupting them so that they have no strength to launch a new round of raids."

"This effect can be achieved by proactively attacking Baoding."

"If we are lucky, we can turn Baoding into a meat grinder and consume a lot of the Japanese army's manpower."

"After replenishment, the Peiping garrison has returned to more than 10,000 people."

"The Peking Guerrilla Brigade can help hold back four to five thousand people."

"The remaining five to six thousand people can still reinforce Tianjin and increase the operational pressure for our raid on Tianjin."

"If we can kill these thousands of little Japs by attacking Baoding."

"Tianjin Terminal will completely open its arms to us."

"Except for the troops stationed in various places, there is almost no main force of Japanese and puppet troops that can threaten our security."

Huang Yu's move was something the deputy commander-in-chief didn't expect.

Even Kong Jie and Li Yunlong had different expressions on their faces.

in everyone’s perception.

The troops had just finished a big battle, suffered heavy casualties, were very tired, and were in urgent need of repairs. It would take at least three months before they could go to the battlefield again.

Huang Yu did the opposite.

Everyone thought that when the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong needed time to recuperate, it would take the initiative to attack the important towns occupied by the Japanese army. Just catching them by surprise would be enough for the little Japanese.

The deputy commander's face first flashed a different expression, and then he stared at the map intently.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong then looked at the map, their faces covered with shock.

"Wonderful..." I don't know how long it took, but the deputy commander suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.

The different expressions on his face were replaced by smiles at the same time, Huang Yu looked at him and said happily.
