The arrival of Li Yunlong and the independent group instantly boosted Gao Hongming's confidence.
His family knew his own affairs, and Gao Hongming knew very well that the reason why he had the confidence to confront the Japanese these days was simply because of his superiority in weapons and equipment.
If I really want to take charge of commanding operations, I, a person who has only watched some film and television works and learned some bits and pieces of military knowledge, can't compare to people like Li Yunlong who have been fighting for many years.
He pulled Li Yunlong and three others to the sand table, pointed at the sand table and said to the three of them: "Brother Li, Political Commissar Zhao, and Commander Kong, look at it.
The current situation is like this. Our three and four battalions, totaling more than 1,200 people, have captured the outskirts of the county seat and invaded the county seat. Now they have surrounded the county seat with the remnants of the Japanese garrison, about 3 to 400 people.
center.
In addition, I deployed the first and second battalions on the left and right sides respectively as sniper troops. Just over an hour ago, a Japanese battalion came from the direction of Qiuliu County to add more troops, but was blocked by the fourth battalion.
Now I have deployed the first battalion, two companies and the armored battalion, and the first artillery battalion has gone to reinforce the troops, trying to eat up this Japanese brigade, but I didn't expect these little devils to be quite tenacious, and actually blocked our offensive, and also caused a certain amount of damage.
I'm having a headache over this loss. Do you have any good ideas?"
Li Yunlong and the three men looked at each other with different expressions on their faces.
After a while, Li Yunlong asked meaningfully: "Brother Gao, can I just ask how many casualties you have suffered so far in the battle?"
Gao Hongming thought for a while and said, "The casualties are quite serious. As of half an hour ago, our regiment had already killed over a hundred people and injured more than a hundred people, both mildly and seriously. I'm having a headache because of this."
Li Yunlong's face twitched. At this time, he wanted to discuss martial arts issues with Gao Hongming, but he looked at the man who had been standing not far away from Gao Hongming and was almost as tall as a bear.
The guard with two shell guns hung on him, and he forced this thought to the bottom of his heart.
Gao Hongming didn't know that his Versailles-like speech had stirred up mixed emotions in the hearts of the three people in front of him. He still pointed at the sand table and said, "Look, I originally wanted to use Ping'an County as a bait to lure the Japanese troops to come for support.
, come to another encirclement point for reinforcements.
But judging from the current battle situation, with my current strength, it is difficult to quickly kill a large Japanese army, so I am considering whether to change the original plan. Three people happened to come and give me some advice. Let's take a look.
Should this plan continue?"
After a long time, Li Yunlong said seriously: "Brother Gao, did you just say that you already have an artillery battalion or even an armored battalion?"
"yes."
Gao Hongming nodded and said it had been established for more than two months.
I originally wanted to train for a few more days, but I never thought that the Japs would find out and actually sent bombers to bomb my armored battalion, losing several tanks.
The reason why I attacked Ping'an County this time was for revenge.
Zhao Gang couldn't help but ask: "Commander Gao, you launched an attack on the Japanese so easily, didn't you think about the consequences?"
"What could be the consequences?"
Gao Hongming looked disdainful.
"If I don't attack Ping'an County, will the little Japs get along with me in peace?"
"That's not what I meant." Zhao Gang explained: "Your attack on Ping'an County has almost alarmed the entire Shanxi Province.
Just yesterday, the head of our headquarters issued an order to all ministries to start vigilance. I was a little puzzled before, thinking that the Japs were preparing to raid again, but after checking it at last, I never thought it was because of you.
Do you think it's because you alarmed the whole of Shanxi?"
"Can't you blame me?"
Gao Hongming spread his hands and assumed a rogue posture.
"You can't stop beating the Japanese just because you're afraid of alerting everyone, right?"
"Hey... I heard what you said, why do you sound so much like Li Yunlong? No wonder you two have the same chemistry." Zhao Gang was so angry at Gao Hongming's rogue attitude that he couldn't help laughing in the end.
Li Yunlong was also overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Political Commissar, you are wrong. Brother Gao and I are not on the same page. We should be called... as seen by heroes... then what..."
"Heroes think alike." Kong Jie added on the side, and finally scolded with a smile: "Old Li, don't show your shame because of your cultural level, which is so big that you don't know a lot of Chinese characters."
Li Yunlong chuckled and didn't take it seriously: "I, Old Li, was originally a bamboo craftsman, so I am not very literate. There is nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a regiment leader, I could just be a political commissar."
"You are the only one who still wants to be a political commissar?" Kong Jie chuckled and was about to make a few jokes when a staff officer hurriedly walked up to Gao Hongming and saluted loudly: "Report to the regiment, the fourth battalion commander reported that the Japanese troops on the opposite side
The brigade was launching a counterattack, with no concern for casualties.
The Agricultural Battalion Commander requested that the troops temporarily shift to on-site defense and wait until the Japanese army's energy was exhausted before launching another attack."
"The Japanese are launching a counterattack?"
Gao Hongming was stunned for a moment, then strode to a nearby radio station, picked up the microphone and said, "Get through to the Fourth Battalion."
"Hey... Nong Tiancai? How is the situation there?"
"Team leader, just five minutes ago, the Japanese troops on the opposite side suddenly launched a counterattack against me. They were like crazy and did not care about the casualties. They showed that they would rush into Ping'an County and fight with the defenders inside even if they were exhausted.
The Japanese army is in a rendezvous posture, so I request to temporarily switch to defense and exhaust the Japanese army's energy before launching another attack."
Since the radio station was open to the public, the conversation between Gao Hongming and Nong Tiancai was clearly heard by the people around them.
After listening to Nong Tiancai's words, Li Yunlong and the other two looked at each other. Kong Jie said in a low voice: "After all, the Japs are a large group. Once a thousand or so people attack, the attack power will be quite considerable. I think we can temporarily change the situation."
It's also good to enter the defense and use up the Japanese's energy."
Zhao Gang also nodded, "I agree with Lao Kong's view."
Li Yunlong frowned and suddenly slapped his thigh: "No... the little devil wants to escape."
"Um!"
Li Yunlong's voice was so loud that even Gao Hongming, who was on the phone, heard it.
I saw him striding to the sand table and pointing to a certain place, "Lao Kong, political commissar, look...this is Ping'an County. If my prediction is correct, this should be the place where the Fourth Battalion fought with the Japanese."
Judging from the sand table, there is only one road leading to Ping'an County. Judging from the battle just now, the Japs are clearly at a disadvantage. I would have to be crazy to launch a counterattack regardless of casualties.
That would do no good except sending your troops into a desperate situation, because the chance of successfully breaking into Ping'an County is very slim, so I think the kid is most likely to want to retreat."
