"Old Li, something happened, something big happened!" As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, the anxious figure of political commissar Zhao Gang appeared at the entrance of the command department, and he opened his mouth to report the bad news he had received.
"That old devil Yoshio Shinozuka simply won't let us live in peace!"
"As soon as the troops finished attacking Ping'an County, he mobilized more than 10,000 elite troops from Taiyuan to attack northwest Shanxi..."
"We also mobilized 10,000 people from northwestern Shanxi to cooperate in the battle, and a total of 25,000 elite troops swept through northwestern Shanxi..."
"The enemy has already set off. The first target of attack is Kong Jie. He also dispatched 10,000 soldiers to split up the troops and insert them directly into the joint between us, the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment, cutting off the connection between us and the Independent Regiment, and preventing us from doing so.
Reinforce the Independent Regiment..."
"Intelligence shows that these intersecting troops have already moved into place and are establishing blocking positions..."
"You son of a bitch, you really don't let people live in peace... I was just about to dream about being a brigade commander, and they came to encircle and suppress us. It's too much..." Li Yunlong got angry when he heard this and cursed loudly.
road.
Immediately ask the guards to clear the table and prepare the map.
After reading the telegram, Zhang Dabiao quickly marked the enemy situation on the map: "Regiment Commander, 15,000 Japanese puppet troops, armed with heavy artillery and tanks, divided into three groups and swept across the independent regiment base area along three roads!"
"The 10,000-day puppet troops were divided into four lines and penetrated directly into the junction to cut off our road connection with the independent regiment!"
"The counter-mopping pressure from the Independent Regiment is very high!"
Zhao Gang then said: "Once the independent regiment's counter-mopping operation fails, the more than 10,000 puppet troops attacking the independent regiment will be like a pack of wolves smelling blood and attack us or the new regiment!"
"Then our counter-mopping pressure must be greater than that of Commander Kong and others!"
"Our three regiments are each other's horns and protect each other. We must never ignore death!"
"I propose that the regiment headquarters immediately assemble at least two battalions of troops and reinforce the independent regiment at all costs!"
Li Yunlong immediately answered: "The Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment are our army's iron triangle in northwest Shanxi. No one can get into trouble!"
"When we were fighting in peace, Lao Kong didn't say anything, and immediately gathered all the troops of the independent regiment to help us fight for reinforcements. He also secretly sent a reinforcement battalion to secretly support us..."
"I, Li Yunlong, will always remember this kindness!"
"Even if the Japanese army doesn't come to wipe out the New Second Regiment after defeating the Independent Regiment, I will reinforce Lao Kong at all costs!"
"But we still need to study the specific methods of reinforcements and how many troops to send for reinforcements!"
"The road to reinforce the Independent Regiment has been cut off by the enemy, and there are 2,500 days of puppet troops defending each of the two places!"
"He rashly sent troops to storm the Japanese and puppet blockade..."
"Even if the reinforcements are lucky enough to cross the blockade, they will suffer heavy casualties, which is not worth it!"
Zhao Gang suddenly suggested: "We can take a small road..."
"After the troops entered northwestern Shanxi, I have been setting up local governments in various places and dealing with the people. I know many paths that can bypass the blocking positions of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"But when marching like this, the reinforcements can only set off lightly and cannot bring many heavy weapons and ammunition supplies!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops sweeping up northwestern Shanxi are equipped with a large number of artillery and tanks. If the reinforcements do not bring heavy weapons, I am afraid that they will not be able to have much effect on the battlefield and will die in vain..."
"Can't we fight without heavy weapons?" Li Yunlong suddenly lost his temper and opened his mouth to ask, leaving Zhao Gang speechless.
"I don't think we even had heavy machine guns and mortars back then, so we couldn't still attack Japanese turrets and tanks!"
"Now that we have heavy machine guns and mortars, why can't we fight the Japanese anymore?"
After saying that, he stared at Zhang Dabiao and said: "Zhang Dabiao..."
"Here we go..." Zhang Dabiao quickly stood at attention.
"First Battalion and Second Battalion, assemble and stand by immediately. Except for weapons and ammunition and two days of dry food, all other materials and equipment will be left in the camp..."
"I will send a telegram to Kong Jie now. If they need reinforcements, you personally lead two battalions to reinforce Lao Kong!"
"The 1st and 2nd Battalions are the two most powerful battalions of the New 2nd Regiment. I leave them all to you. We must show the prestige of our New 2nd Regiment!"
"When you get to the Independent Regiment, you must obey Lao Kong's command unconditionally and you can't make conditions for me!"
"If you can meet Xiao Huang, communicate with him more!"
"This guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He might be able to help you with a couple of tricks to reduce casualties!"
Just as Zhang Dabiao was about to take the order, the radio operator suddenly rushed in: "Regiment leader, political commissar, chief of staff... Captain Kong of the Independent Regiment has an urgent call!"
Although Li Yunlong didn't say anything, his heart had already drifted to Kong Jie, and he was very worried about the safety of his old comrades.
Zhang Dabiao grabbed it without waiting for the telegram to be received. He laughed after reading it!
"It's okay...Kong Er has already thought of a way to break the situation!"
"It seems that my dream of becoming a brigade commander has to be temporarily suspended!"
"Except for the 1st and 2nd Battalions who were ordered to assemble reinforcements for the Independent Regiment, the other troops of the Independent Regiment immediately gathered together, brought all weapons and ammunition, and followed me to attack here..."
As Li Yunlong spoke, he smashed his fist on the map, where exactly 2,500 Japanese and puppet troops were stationed.
Seeing Zhang Dabiao's puzzled expression, Li Yunlong continued to order: "The main force of the regiment is in the open, and we will feint to attack the blockade from the front... Bring all the artillery we have equipped with us, and assume a posture of reinforcing the independent regiment at all costs!"
"Zhang Dabiao led the 1st and 2nd Battalions on a small road and secretly entered the base area of the Independence Regiment. He claimed to the outside world that he was the 1st and 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment. He blocked the Japanese and puppet troops from mopping up the troops on the left, slowed down their mopping up speed, protected the people along the route, and dragged them along the way.
Independent Regiment Base Area!"
"Zhang Dabiao, remember this clearly for me... When you enter the base area of the Independent Regiment, you must unconditionally obey Kong Er's command, and you must not let the enemy discover that you are from the New Second Regiment!"
"We unanimously declare to the outside world that we are soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment!"
"This order must be conveyed to the ears of every soldier in the reinforcements, is it clear?"
Zhang Dabiao felt very aggrieved.
The troops went to the front line to fight the Japanese, but in the end they couldn't even reveal their identity. As a commander, it must have been very uncomfortable.
But military orders are like mountains, and the regiment commander's orders must be carried out.
The reason why the regiment leader did this must be that regiment commander Kong had a big move.
Looking at Li Yunlong, he replied firmly: "Commander, please rest assured... I, Zhang Dabiao, am not an ignorant person. I will strictly implement military orders and obey the command of Commander Kong."
As soon as Zhang Dabiao left, Zhao Gang asked thoughtfully: "Old Li, is Commander Kong planning a big move?"
Li Yunlong nodded: "Lao Ding and I each sent a reinforcement force to secretly enter the independent regiment's defense area, and as the main force of the independent regiment, we blocked the left and right mopping up troops head-on!"
"Kong Erlunzi gathered all the troops and firepower of the independent regiment, looked for suitable opportunities, and wiped out all the troops in the middle!"
"It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them!"
"As long as Kong Erluzi can eliminate the mopping up troops on one route, the other two mopping up troops will definitely withdraw after hearing the training, and then our counter-mopping up campaign will be won!"
Zhao Gang was not as optimistic as Li Yunlong. He analyzed with a worried look on his face: "The Japs swept away more than 5,000 troops along the way, including more than 3,000 little Japs, 2,000 puppet troops, as well as tanks, heavy artillery, and aircraft to help out!"
"No matter how strong the independent regiment is, it only has five or six thousand people. It doesn't have much strength advantage."
"The enemy must also have the advantage in firepower..."
"how to spell?"
"From my perspective, Commander Kong's chances of winning this battle are very low!"
Li Yunlong shook his head and looked at the map with a serious expression: "That's because you don't understand Kong Er!"
"I, Lao Ding, and Kong Erluzi...we are all comrades in life and death who came from the trenches...Kong Erluzi is the most stable one among the three of us!"
"He dared to send us a telegram asking for reinforcements, and also asked the reinforcements to fight as an independent regiment. This shows that he has already thought of a specific strategy in mind, and has at least a 70% chance of winning..."
"Besides, he has the dog-headed military advisor Xiao Huang beside him to give him advice. It's hard not to win this battle!"
"Although I don't know what Kong Erluzi plans to rely on to defeat the 5,000-day puppet army, but I believe him!"
"Look, it won't take long for us to receive news of the success of the independent group!"
"What we need to do is to help him put on a show, attack the Japanese and puppet blockades, and act like we will reinforce the Independence Regiment at all costs, so that Yoshio Shinozuka feels that the Independence Regiment has been fighting alone!"
After the news of expanding the scale of the transaction was sent to the Eighth Route Army at the headquarters of the 354th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Director Wang has been waiting here to wait for the news.
The mission given to him by the war zone is to facilitate this deal.
The benefits offered by Captain Zhou also forced him to broker this deal.
"Commander, Director Wang... there's news from the Eighth Route Army!" the adjutant ran in to report with excitement on his face.
"The Eighth Route Army said that they had just experienced a big battle and were short of ammunition. They urgently needed to replenish ammunition to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops' mopping up troops..."
"As long as we are willing to sell it, there is no problem with the ammunition. They will take whatever they want..."
"But there's a problem!"
"What's the problem?" Director Wang was even more nervous than Captain Zhou and rushed to ask.
"They don't have enough ocean and gold to buy our ammunition!" the adjutant replied.
"I hope we can lower the price and allow them to use the captured nameplates, sabers, bombed weapons and ammunition... to deduct part of the ocean!"
"It's okay to lower the price, but we don't want Japs' sabers or blown-up weapons and ammunition... we just want oceans and gold!" Director Wang made the decision without hesitation.
Captain Zhou on the side was anxious and quickly advised: "Director Wang, don't worry... I think it is feasible to use the Japanese saber, nameplates, and bombed weapons... to offset part of the ocean!"
"You don't know that not only the 3rd, 5th and 4th regiments in the war zone need these things to report their merits to the superiors, but other troops also need these things..."
"We spent 500 yuan to buy back the Little Japanese nameplate, epaulettes, and sabers from the Eighth Route Army, and we could resell them for 700 to 800 yuan!"
"Especially the little devil's Zuoguan Dao. It is not only a cash withdrawal of military exploits, but also a collection..."
“Many people in the war zone and the home front want to buy it!”
"We bought it for 1,000 yuan, and sold it for 2,000 yuan, and people rushed to get it!"
