Chapter 219 Li Yunlong, you have more face than the boss?
"Go to Taiyuan..." Li Yunlong was confused by this order.
The independent regiment's hiding place is more than 100 kilometers away from Taiyuan. Taiyuan is the headquarters of the Japanese First Army and is heavily garrisoned. Although Li Yunlong is very courageous and usually fearless of everything, he has never set his sights on Taiyuan.
Hearing that the brigade commander asked them to march quickly to Taiyuan, Li Yunlong was confused...
As for what the correspondent said later, he didn't listen at all.
Zhao Gang heard it clearly. He was shocked, stared at the communications staff officer, and asked with surprise: "Wait... you just said that Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment has arrived in Taiyuan and is still waiting for us in Taiyuan!"
The correspondent answered directly: "Commander Kong led the independent regiment to Taiyuan two days ago. Last night, he successfully occupied Jinzhong, captured Taiyuan Airport, and destroyed all the Japanese aircraft parked at the airport..."
"That's why there are no Japanese planes flying above us during the day.
"Wait a minute..." Li Yunlong reacted as soon as he heard the word "Kong Jie": "You said Kong Jie, the fool, killed himself in Taiyuan two days ago..."
"I see……"
"Before the anti-mopping up, I felt that there was something wrong with this guy, that he seemed to be hiding something from us, but no matter how much I asked, he wouldn't tell me!"
"Now I know that this guy actually received the task of raiding Taiyuan, forcing the Japanese and puppet troops to return to Taiyuan, and reducing the pressure on the base area to counter-mopping up..."
"This is a mission that involves a narrow escape from death. Maybe you won't be able to come back... Kong Er didn't even reveal anything to us. It's so uninteresting!"
Zhao Gang analyzed it very seriously: "It is precisely because this is a narrow escape mission that it should be kept secret!"
"If your kid knows about it and accidentally reveals it, the Japanese and puppet troops have prepared in advance, and the independent regiment's attack on Taiyuan will be the same as death..."
"The brigade commander suddenly ordered us to march quickly to Taiyuan. There must be a problem with the independent regiment there and we need reinforcements!"
"I suggest that the troops assemble immediately and set off in half an hour's preparation!"
When he heard that the Independent Regiment was in danger, Li Yunlong's face immediately became extremely serious and he immediately ordered: "Kong Erluo is in danger. As an old comrade, I, Li Yunlong, must not stand by and watch!"
"Inform the troops to assemble immediately... According to the brigade headquarters' order, throw away all the baggage, bring only weapons, ammunition and dry food, and set off in half an hour!"
After finishing speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the correspondent and continued: "I thought I heard you just now. After the New Second Regiment reaches Taiyuan, it must unconditionally obey Kong Er's command!"
"That's not okay... Kong Erluzi is the regiment leader, and I am also the regiment leader... In terms of qualifications, I joined the army a few days earlier than Kong Erluzi. If you want to listen, it is Kong Erluzi who obeys my command!"
"Besides, the New Second Regiment is going to Taiyuan to reinforce Kong Erlunzi. The Independent Regiment must have suffered heavy losses in the previous battles. It may not have as many troops as the New Second Regiment, and it must obey the command of me, Li Yunlong!"
"Go back and tell the brigade commander that I, Li Yunlong, will bring Kong Erluo back to the base safely!"
The correspondent replied with a wry smile: "Captain Li, the brigade commander guessed that you would say this when he gave the order, and asked me to remind you specifically!"
"After the New Second Regiment reaches Taiyuan, it must unconditionally obey the command of the Independent Regiment!"
"In addition to the New Second Regiment, the New First Regiment also received orders to reinforce the Independent Regiment!"
"After arriving in Taiyuan, you must also obey the command of Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment!"
"The brigade commander also asked me to tell you that the Independent Regiment did not lose the battle in Taiyuan, and there is no danger..."
"The reason why the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment were asked to march urgently to reinforce Taiyuan is because Commander Kong has a big operation and needs your help!"
"The head of the headquarters also knows about this big operation and will unconditionally cooperate with the independent group in the next battle!"
"If you think you are more powerful than the head of the headquarters, you can choose to disobey orders!"
Li Yunlong asked with a look of disbelief: "You're right... even the head of the headquarters has to obey Kong Er's command?"
The correspondent nodded: "Not only the head of the headquarters... the brigade commander will also unconditionally cooperate with Commander Kong in the operation!"
Li Yunlong was not a confused person. As soon as he confirmed that the head of the headquarters also wanted to cooperate with Kong Jie, he immediately realized that he was in trouble. The thought of commanding Kong Jie also disappeared at this moment, and he immediately accepted the order: "You
Go back immediately and tell the brigade commander! The New Second Regiment promises to complete the mission..."
Taiyuan Airport was bombed, and all the planes were blown into scrap. As expected, there will be no Japanese military aircraft in Shanxi for a long time in the future. There are also sporadic planes flying over from airports in surrounding provinces, so the threat is limited.
But Kong Jie still used to set up his headquarters in the woods.
The battle to ambush the Japanese and puppet reinforcements had just ended, and everyone in the headquarters was busy counting the results and losses.
Due to lack of manpower, Huang Yu was also recruited by Kong Jie...
"Commander...the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan are seriously insufficient..." Huang Yu picked up the statistical list and reported it.
"Although the Japanese reinforcements at the airport are called two brigades, their strength is seriously insufficient..."
"Not only are they not equipped with heavy weapons, each brigade only has three unsatisfied squadrons. There are only more than 400 little devils in total, and the remaining 500 to 600 people are all cobbled together by the puppet troops!"
"Although the total strength of the ambush force was not as good as that of the Japanese and puppet troops, it was more numerous than the Japs, and its firepower was several times that of the little Japs... As soon as we took action, the Japanese and puppet troops were suppressed and beaten, and they had no chance to fight back."
"A total of 853 Japs were eliminated in the two ambush battles and 1,239 puppet soldiers were captured..."
"158 people of the independent regiment lost their lives and 21 were seriously injured... Many of the casualties were caused by grenades blown up by wounded Japanese soldiers during the charge... The battlefield was too chaotic at that time. The soldiers fought all night and were very tired and low on vigilance. This
I just suffered a big loss!"
"In attacking the airport, we sacrificed 238 people and seriously injured 11 people... One armored vehicle was destroyed..."
"But we wiped out all the troops stationed at the airport, completely destroyed the airport, blew up 42 aircraft of various types, and destroyed the airport's fuel warehouse and ammunition depot!"
"Even if the Japanese recapture Taiyuan Airport, it will take more than half a month to repair it and put it back into use!"
"This time is enough for us to withdraw to our base!"
Kong Jie took out a telegram and answered: "The brigade and headquarters have agreed on our action plan to attack the outer city of Taiyuan and capture the Taiyuan Arsenal!"
"We also sent the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment on a rapid march to reinforce us. They will be here to join us in the morning the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
"I have just been thinking about the specific time for our attack on the outer city of Taiyuan?"
"When can we fight with the least pressure and seize more military equipment?"
"You were the first to propose the plan to attack the outer city of Taiyuan and seize the Taiyuan Arsenal. You tell me your thoughts first. If there is no problem, we will implement it according to your ideas!"
"Raise the means of transportation first!" Huang Yu was not polite and said his thoughts bluntly.
"Military equipment is different from the weapons and ammunition we captured... The lighter equipment weighs one or two hundred kilograms, and the heavier equipment weighs more than one or two thousand kilograms. It is also very large. Ordinary mules and horses will definitely not be able to transport it, and large trucks must be used.
Follow the car!”
"Jinzhong is the gateway to the southeast of Taiyuan, where a large number of vendors and Japanese businessmen gather. We will first send all the carts and cars that can be collected in Jinzhong City to the outside of Taiyuan City!"
"It's best to have a car...fast..."
“It only takes one night to return to the base by road!”
Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yuanchang suddenly said: "Captain, there are indeed many cars in Jinzhong County..."
"The troops entered the city and encountered five or six cars on the road! If we gathered all the cars in Jinzhong together, there would definitely be thirty of them!"
Huang Yu shook his head and analyzed: "Thirty vehicles are not enough. At least fifty vehicles are needed to transfer all the military equipment that the arsenal can take away!"
Kong Jie glanced at Taiyuan City not far away and replied: "Taiyuan is more prosperous than Jinzhong, and there must be more Japanese trading firms in it. If we take down the outer city of Taiyuan, we will definitely seize twenty cars!"
"It's possible that the arsenal has the cars we desperately need!"
Having said this, another question came to Kong Jie's mind. He stared at the almanac and continued to ask: "Now that we have cars, do we have so many drivers?"
"As soon as the assault company established the armored platoon, it started training automobile soldiers!"
"At least thirty soldiers in our regiment can drive cars!"
"Both the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment have trained more than twenty automobile soldiers, totaling more than seventy people, which is completely sufficient!"
Kong Jie's frown finally relaxed: "The transportation has been solved, what's next?"
"Dismantle the arsenal!" Huang Yu continued.
"The equipment in the arsenal is installed and fixed, unlike the ammunition in the ammunition depot, which can be moved and moved!"
"A lot of equipment weighs several thousand kilograms, and it takes a lot of manpower and time to move it into a car..."
"This requires a lot of time and the help of a large number of arsenal workers. It would be better if there are engineers present."
"Otherwise, faced with the rows of equipment in the workshop, we would not know where to start if we wanted to move them."
"I roughly calculated that we must leave a day and a night to dismantle the arsenal equipment and transfer them all to transport vehicles!"
"The workers and engineers who dismantle the equipment need to be considered by the leader!"
"I don't understand the machines and equipment in the arsenal either!"
Kong Jie thought for a while before replying: "The workers and engineers will figure it out!"
"The arsenal is so big. There must be passionate young people who don't want to work for the Japanese. Maybe there are also hidden underground party members. Let them help, and we will definitely be able to gather enough manpower."
"If it doesn't work, I will use guns to force the workers and engineers in the factory to dismantle the equipment!"
"At worst, I can compensate them with some oceans when I leave!"
"Anyway, I have to order the equipment in the arsenal...no one can stop me!"
After saying that, he continued to ask Huang Yu: "Is it my turn to attack the arsenal next?"
"I originally wanted to wait until Li Yunlong and Ding Wei arrived before attacking the city, but I didn't expect that it would take so long to dismantle the arsenal equipment. Then we must attack the arsenal earlier!"
"As soon as Li Yunlong and Ding Wei arrive in Taiyuan, we will begin to retreat without giving the Japanese a chance to react!"
