The boss has been visiting the brigade headquarters every day recently.
In his words, he just came here to feel happy and to make himself happy.
At the same time, they also wanted to see with their own eyes whether Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were really willing to send over 1.2 million rounds of ammunition and 10,000 rounds of artillery shells.
You know, that’s 1.2 million rounds of ammunition!
Quite precious.
Even he, the boss, rarely sees it.
The last time there were so many bullets, they were sent by Wei Lihuang, commander of the First Theater Command stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain.
The relationship between Wei Lihuang and the Eighth Route Army was indeed good.
So there is a nickname called "Seven Roads and a Half".
But now, the situation of the guard commander is not very good. It is said that he had a conflict with Jiang. He has been under house arrest in Chongqing and cannot come back to Zhongtiao Mountain. It is estimated that the commander's position will also be abolished.
Jiang's confidants Tang Enbo and Jiang Dingwen were all plotting to serve as the commander-in-chief of this first theater.
If these two people control the First War Zone, they will only cause friction with the Eighth Route Army. Cooperation is impossible.
Must be self-reliant.
You must have enough food and clothing.
Everything depends on yourself.
The World War II zone was hostile to the Eighth Route Army. The First War zone was also hostile to the Eighth Route Army. How difficult it was for him to be the commander-in-chief of the front line!
The current international situation is not very good either, and the Japanese invaders are arrogant...
"Boss, don't worry, Li Yunlong is not that bold yet. He dares to fight with the headquarters."
"If he dares to miss a bullet, I will let him take the blame for the march later!"
The staff officer and the brigade commander comforted the boss one after another.
In fact, I was quietly crying inside.
Li Yunlong didn't dare to take advantage of others.
I'm afraid that this guy will exaggerate and be unable to keep up his lies.
Everyone knows that Li Yunlong likes to play the game.
Whenever he has two oceans in his hands, he would like to boast that they are ten or twenty. It makes him seem like a rich landlord.
I hope this guy really has 1.2 million bullets in his hands...
"What's the current situation of the new group?"
"Boss, they are resting in Ping'an County and preparing to fight again."
"Fight again? Are you sure?"
"They will not confront the Japs head-on. But they will not let the Japs easily reoccupy Ping'an County."
"Are the Yannan detachment and the Xingbei detachment all in place?"
"Already in place."
"Then let Li Yunlong unified command and train him. If he does well, he can be free to command more troops in the future. If he doesn't do well, then continue to be his commander!"
"clear!"
The brigade commander and the chief of staff looked at each other and smiled.
The boss is a little partial now!
On the surface, he was dissatisfied with this Li Yunlong, but in fact, he was testing him.
No, now Li Yunlong is asked to command several regiments.
The Independent Regiment, Yannan Detachment, and Xingbei Detachment are all regiment-level units. There are now a total of four regiments around Ping'an County, with almost tens of thousands of people.
To be honest, if the Japanese invaders didn't have planes, tanks, and heavy artillery, they could still fight a dozen of them.
Wasn't the Japanese tank squadron also wiped out before?
Even the Japanese planes were shot down two in a row...
"Report!"
The communications staff officer arrived and handed a telegram to the chief of staff.
The chief of staff read it and handed it to the brigade commander.
After reading it, the brigade commander fell into deep thought.
"What's the matter?" the boss asked.
"Boss, it's the New Regiment asking for instructions. They have captured two important figures of the Japanese invaders. Both of them have left-of-center military ranks. They don't know how to deal with it."
"The two on the left and center are considered two big fish. Send them to the headquarters!"
"yes!"
The chief of staff agreed.
The brigade commander suddenly shook his head.
The boss said: "What? Do you have a different opinion?"
The brigade commander pushed up his glasses and smiled, "I think this doesn't quite resemble Li Yunlong's fighting style."
"How to say?"
"When will he be captured by the Japanese invaders?"
"..."
"Before the change, most of the time I would kill the Japanese with a big blade to avoid wasting food."
"That was before!"
The boss waved his hand and defended Li Yunlong.
It wasn't that I didn't want to capture prisoners in the past, but I couldn't. The Japanese invaders were very desperate.
Even the seriously wounded will die with you.
Therefore, after three years of fighting, the Eighth Route Army captured only a handful of Japanese invaders.
There are almost no officers, let alone officers above the left rank.
This is a good start...
"Report!"
The communications staff officer sent another telegram.
The chief of staff read it quickly. His face looked a little confused. He turned to look at the map. He frowned. He couldn't make sense of it.
"What happened?"
"The scout reported that the Japanese 29th Division did not stop at Fanzhuang Station, but continued northward."
"Continue going north? What are you going to do?"
"Not sure."
The chief of staff shook his head.
This is the limitation of the Eighth Route Army.
Even if the scouts on the front line detect the enemy's situation, it is difficult to report it quickly.
Because there is no radio station.
Many times, information can only be delivered manually.
By the time the headquarters found out, the day lilies were already cold.
This situation has not been effectively improved even when Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County two years later.
Ping'an County over there has been bustling with fighting for a long time, and the headquarters still hasn't figured out what's going on.
The situation now is only worse.
"Could it be that something happened in the north that made the Japanese more nervous?"
"Probably. Otherwise, there is no reason for the 29th Japanese Division to stay away from home. They came for us in the first place."
"strangeness……"
The chief of staff said to himself.
I can't understand.
I don't have the slightest clue right now.
But one thing is for sure. Something big is definitely happening over there.
Moreover, it is still a very serious matter.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Japanese to send out a division for reinforcements.
Could it be Ding Wei?
Over there is the activity range of Yanbei Detachment and Wutai Mountain Detachment.
Then he shook his head again.
Ding Wei alone cannot create such a big movement.
Even if he wanted to, he was too ambitious but not strong enough.
That’s okay, let’s take a look first.
"Report!"
In the afternoon, good news finally arrived.
But it was Sun Desheng, as the escort ambassador, who once again brought a new regiment of cavalry company to send some ammunition.
All the horses captured by the new regiment were put to use.
With Li Yunlong's order, the cavalry company turned into a baggage company and was busy transporting ammunition.
Sun Desheng did not complain at all.
After all, escorting so much ammunition is a happy thing.
You know, these ammunitions are all sent up by Xinyi Group. They are perfect for killing Japs. The more Japs you kill, the closer you are to victory.
"Boss! Brigadier! Chief of Staff!"
"Company Commander Sun, thank you for your hard work!"
“It’s not hard work!”
Sun Desheng handed over the list of supplies.
Due to limited transportation capacity, only three thousand rounds of artillery shells could be delivered in the first wave.
Everything was transported here on horseback because it was the fastest.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang knew very well that there was a great need for mortar shells and field artillery shells on the Cangyunling front line, so they sent them as quickly as possible.
"A thousand cannonballs."
"Two thousand mortar rounds!"
“All received!”
"Sun Desheng, on behalf of the brigade headquarters, I would like to thank you, the New Regiment."
The brigade commander said solemnly.
This first wave of supplies solved the urgent need on the front line.
What they need most is indeed artillery shells.
"Reporting to the brigade commander, our regiment commander said that the independent regiment and the Yannan detachment also made great contributions."
"Not bad! Your captain actually knows how to be humble! Okay! You go back and thank me together!"
"yes!"
"By the way, let me ask you something, what is Zhang Chu doing?"
"Report to the brigade commander that after Zhang Chu took over the Sangshugou Coal Mine, he happened to meet Commander Ding Wei. He left with Commander Ding Wei."
"What?"
"Zhang Chu is now with Commander Ding Wei."
"No wonder..."
The brigade commander and chief of staff looked at each other.
Immediately, both of them quickly walked to the front of the map and found the location of Mulberry Valley.
Then, the chief of staff used a pencil to connect the Sangshugou coal mine and the Wutaishan detachment.
"Mostly..."
"That's right. It must be Ding Wei and Zhang Chu who are making big moves."
"This Zhang Chu is really a catalyst. I don't know what kind of actions he and Ding Wei are planning."
"In my estimation, if Ding Wei had someone like Li Yunlong in his hands, he would still attack the county town."
The brigade commander made the final decision.
Then he pressed Fanxian's position heavily with his fingers.
