Chapter 228 Kong Jie: Li Yunlong, you are too much
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka, who had been waiting for several hours in agony, finally received good news.
"Your Excellency, Commander... the independent regiment stopped attacking after capturing the outer city... arranged for two battalions to be deployed around the inner city and set up a large number of light and heavy machine guns to prevent us from breaking through. The remaining troops went straight to the arsenal!"
"Looking at the posture, it seems that they attacked the outer city of Taiyuan just to capture the arsenal."
Yoshio Shinozuka laughed after hearing this: "If the Independent Regiment really captures the outer city in order to seize the Taiyuan Arsenal, then our Arsenal will definitely be able to save it!"
"Inform the city defense troops to closely monitor every move of the Eighth Route Army in the outer city, especially in the direction of the arsenal!"
"The equipment in the arsenal must be transported by car... If they decide to evacuate the arsenal, they will have to raise a large number of cars to transport the equipment to the arsenal, and there will definitely be a lot of noise!"
"If you have any news, report it to me immediately."
After saying that, he stared at the chief of staff and asked: "Where are the six infantry brigades transferred from the front line? Have they evacuated the Eighth Route Army base area?"
"Let them go faster to prevent the Eighth Route Army from launching a counterattack to cover the independent regiment's breakout and drag them along the front line!"
The chief of staff quickly reported: "Commander, don't worry!"
"The Eighth Route Army did launch a counterattack, but the return troops withdrew very suddenly...the marching speed was also fast. By the time the Eighth Route Army reacted, we had already withdrawn for more than ten miles. The Eighth Route Army could not hold them back, and there were only some local troops.
Destroying the road slowed down their march, but the effect was minimal!"
"That's good!" Shinozuka Yoshio was completely relieved.
"As long as they arrive at the scheduled battlefield in time and no accidents occur, I will be 100% sure to recapture all the military equipment and rebuild the Taiyuan Arsenal!"
The chief of staff responded: "Commander, please rest assured!"
"Taiyuan is not Yangquan!"
"The Independent Regiment once attacked Yangquan, built a plank road in secret, used a fake transport team to mislead us, attracted planes to bomb, and the real transport team secretly returned the loot to the base..."
"There are both coincidences and terrain reasons!"
"The Independent Regiment used mules and horses to transport the spoils. There were too many mountain roads to march on, and we were unable to guard against them. This allowed them to take advantage of the loophole!"
"The military equipment in the arsenal is so large and heavy that it can only be transported by cars and cannot be transported without roads."
"If the Independent Regiment wants to return to its base, it can only take the Shota Road!"
"The blocking positions we selected for the returning troops are the only way for the independent regiment to pass. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack..."
"No matter how strong the independent regiment's combat effectiveness is, it will never be able to continuously break through the Six Paths."
"As long as there is a blockade blocking them, the returning troops can snatch back the military equipment lost by the Taiyuan Arsenal!"
Shinozuka Yoshio nodded repeatedly when he heard this, stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "Is there anything unusual outside Taiyuan City?"
"We must find out in advance the most accurate time for the independent regiment to evacuate Taiyuan, so that the intercepting troops can prepare for battle in advance. Don't be surprised by the independent regiment when there is a good chance of winning!
The chief of staff understood: "Commander, please rest assured that the intelligence department has been tightened. All intelligence personnel have been dispersed. If there is any situation, they will report it as soon as possible!"
"But so far, the headquarters has not received any information about the changes in the independent regiment!"
In front of the enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie took Li Yunlong and Ding Weigang to visit the arsenal and the bank.
Seeing the neat military equipment in the factory and the piles of oceans, gold bars, and Japanese banknotes in the bank vault, the two of them felt for the first time that they were country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
Back at the headquarters, they still had not recovered from the shock.
"Old Li, Old Ding...don't be in a daze...from now on, the military equipment and Ocean Gold you see belong to us!" Kong Jie reminded with a smile.
"Old Kong!" Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie and said seriously.
"From now on, all the soldiers of the new regiment will obey your command unconditionally. Even if the troops are exhausted, they must transport the military equipment back to the base!"
"More than a hundred rifles, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, ten crooked handles, and more than a hundred artillery shells are produced every day. If these are transported back to the base area, based on the ammunition consumption of our Eighth Route Army, the weapons and ammunition produced by these equipment will be enough to supply
The Eighth Route Army needs tens of thousands, so many soldiers will be sacrificed less..."
Li Yunlong was convinced and immediately answered: "When I formed the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, my superiors did not support a single gun, a machine gun, or a bullet..."
"At that time, it was common for four or five poor soldiers to use one gun and make a clanging noise. In order to get a crooked gun, it was common for them to sacrifice a platoon... I still remember those hard days!
"
"If our Eighth Route Army had its own arsenal, we would certainly not have been so miserable back then!"
"Kong Er is stupid, I, Li Yunlong, seldom convince others...but I will convince you that you conquered the Taiyuan Arsenal!"
"I won't say any more nonsense. As long as all the equipment in the Taiyuan Arsenal can be returned to the base, the New Second Regiment will not hesitate to spend all of it!"
Kong Jie didn't waste any words, and immediately promised: "Old comrades, trust me Kong Jie, I will definitely not let you down, and I will ensure that the equipment in the arsenal is returned to the base at the minimum cost!"
"Speaking of which, I now have an idea that requires your cooperation!"
The two people immediately looked at Kong Jie, waiting for the next step.
What surprised them was that Kong Jie turned his attention to Huang Yu: "This is Xiao Huang's suggestion. Let him tell you his specific ideas!"
"Reporting to Commander Li and Commander Ding, I would like to borrow your cavalry company for use!" Huang Yu quickly introduced.
"Last night, the independent regiment raided more than 20 small and medium-sized strongholds around Taiyuan in company units."
"In my eyes: These strongholds are Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes and ears to understand the situation around Taiyuan. By laying down these strongholds, the Japanese army in Taiyuan will definitely learn about the surrounding enemy situation much slower than before."
"Even if you don't completely become blind and deaf, you have become half-blind and half-deaf!"
"If we send cavalry to completely blockade the remaining county towns and large strongholds, and prevent the Japanese and puppet intelligence personnel from reporting the situation through their commander in Taiyuan, then Yoshio Shinozuka, who is surrounded by us in the inner city of Taiyuan, will become truly blind."
"He knows nothing about our troop mobilization and ambush on the battlefield..."
"Then we will definitely be more skillful in fighting, and it will be easier for the Japanese to be fooled."
Li Yunlong was shocked. He didn't expect Huang Yu, a small company commander, to have such a long-term vision. He was now starting to prepare for the battle in a few days.
He immediately agreed: "I agree with Huang Yu's proposal!"
"The timeliness of intelligence can determine the outcome of a battle!"
"If Yoshio Shinozuka receives battlefield information a few hours later than us, then our plan to encircle the point for reinforcements has at least a 90% chance of winning!"
"The remaining 10% chance of winning depends on whether God is on our side or not!"
"Even if God doesn't help us, we still have a 90% chance of winning. We can still kill the two returning troops and severely damage the one returning troops!"
Ding Wei then answered: "From now on, all the cavalry companies of the new regiment will obey the command of Staff Huang!"
"But after the previous counter-mopping up, the cavalry company of the New Second Regiment only has about fifty cavalry left. I don't know if it is enough!"
Li Yunlong continued: "There are more than 60 cavalry left in the new second regiment's cavalry company. From now on, they will all obey the command of Staff Huang!"
After finishing speaking, a greedy expression suddenly flashed across Li Yunlong's face. He stared at Huang Yu and asked tentatively: "Xiao Huang, following Kong Er is so useless. It took so long to become the commander of the assault company!"
"How about you go to the New Second Regiment to fight the Japanese with me? I promise to make you the commander of the main battalion immediately!"
"If you can make two great contributions on the battlefield, I will immediately propose to the brigade commander that you be the new chief of staff of the second regiment!"
"Good on you, Li Yunlong!" Kong Jie said with a fierce roll of his eyes.
"You've already poached me in front of me... What do you want to do? I'm lucky that I always think of you when something good happens to me. It's not fun for you to treat me like this!"
"I'm kidding... I was joking with Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang is the military division of the independent regiment. I've heard about it a long time ago. I'm sure he won't win anyone's love!" Li Yunlong was embarrassed by Kong Jie's words and looked sarcastic.
road.
Kong Jie didn't think this was a joke.
He knew Li Yunlong too well, and whenever he came across good things, he wanted to get them into his own hands. He directly said with a serious face: "Let me tell you, Xiao Huang is not only the commander of the assault company of the independent regiment, but also the only combat staff officer of the independent regiment!"
"In the Independent Regiment, apart from me and Chief of Staff Li, all the battalion commanders have to obey his command when there is a war!"
"Although I have the title of staff officer, I still do the work of deputy chief of staff!"
"You can poach anyone in the independent group, but you can't poach Xiao Huang!"
Li Yunlong also realized that his joke was too big, and for fear of estrangement between his old comrades, he quickly explained: "I am really kidding you!"
"Don't worry, Kong Er, I will never think of poaching Xiao Huang from now on!"
"Even if Xiao Huang wants to go to the New Second Group, I, Li Yunlong, won't accept him!"
"Hmph... The enemy is currently facing us. Let's forget what happened just now! If we are in the base area, I will definitely tell you!" Kong Jie decided to let Li Yunlong go for the time being.
Huang Yu looked surprised. He didn't expect that he would become the protagonist of everyone's discussion while he was talking. He said with embarrassment: "Commanders... why don't you discuss it first, and I will introduce to you the three cavalry companies later."
action!"
Li Yunlong immediately regained his composure and said: "Let's talk now..."
"How do you plan to blockade the counties and large strongholds around Taiyuan?"
Watching Li Yunlong and Kong Jie finish their discussion, Huang Yu immediately returned to the topic!
"There are still more than 110 people in the independent regiment's cavalry company! Including your cavalry company, there are a total of more than 230 people."
"There are three counties and nine large strongholds controlled by little devils around Taiyuan!"
"First divide ninety cavalry, thirty into a team, and three company commanders will personally lead the team to blockade the three counties!"
"The remaining 140 people are divided into nine groups. Each group has fifteen cavalry, led by a platoon leader, to blockade fourteen large strongholds!"
"After the troops reach the blockade target, they first cut off all telephone lines from the stronghold and the county to the outside world, and then divide their troops to block all entrances and exits, and no one is allowed to enter or exit the stronghold and the county."
"When we finish the encirclement and reinforcements, these cavalry can withdraw from the battlefield and return to their respective units to perform reconnaissance missions!"
