Li Yunlong walked into a tent that had just been set up as a temporary headquarters with a dark face, cursing non-stop, causing Zhao Gang, who was writing a document, to look over and ask curiously.
"Old Li, why are you so crazy? You just came back from downstairs and you were cursing me, as if someone owed you 800 yuan and you didn't pay back."
"Who else could it be?"
Li Yunlong sat down on the ammunition box that served as a stool: "He's not that kid from Ding Wei."
"Ding Wei?"
Zhao Gang said in confusion: "Captain Ding came to Liantai County last month. You guys probably haven't seen each other for several months. How could he offend you?"
"Why did he offend me? He offended me so much!"
Li Yunlong glared.
"In the past six months, the soldiers of our independent regiment have been as tired as grandchildren. They have been walking through ravines and crossing blockades all day long, often without finishing their first meal.
The more the troops fight, the less weapons and ammunition they have, and they can only get out and out.
If Brother Gao hadn't provided some support some time ago, the whole group would have to use big blades if they encountered the Japs again.
After finally saving a pilot, Brother Gao sent a plane to deliver 20 tons of ammunition and medicine. Unexpectedly, most of it was taken away by the headquarters before it was even warm.
But look at this kid Ding Wei, he’s been so fat these days. You know, even though we have a life-long relationship with Brother Gao, we don’t get this kind of treatment, so why should he, Ding Wei?”
Zhao Gang smiled, "Okay, Old Li, you are also an old Red Army soldier, don't you even have this awareness?
What's more, the New Regiment came here for a reason. Last time, the New Regiment was bitten by the Japs and couldn't get rid of it. They were about to be eaten by the Japs. Upon seeing this, the brigade commander ordered the New Regiment to move towards the Liantai Militia.
Although the situation of our independent group is difficult, it is better than the new group that is on the verge of destruction at any time, right?"
"That's true." After hearing this, Li Yunlong felt a lot more comfortable. "In terms of command ability, I, Old Li, am still better than Old Ding. Old Ding was forced to Liantai County by the Japanese, how can he compete with me?"
Old Libby.
It's just a pity. Today I told the brigade commander that I wanted to go to Liantai County to visit Brother Gao, but Brigadier Chen refused. He also said that my rank was too low and I was not qualified to go. Do you think this is irritating or not?
"
"Isn't this normal?" Zhao Gang gave him a look of disdain: "The people who are going today are either division commanders or brigade commanders. Why are you, a regiment commander, joining in the fun?"
"Hey... what do you know, I don't believe that he would shut me out based on my friendship with Brother Gao?"
Seeing Li Yunlong's unconvinced look, Zhao Gang was angry and funny at the same time. However, he also knew that Li Yunlong was competitive, so he ignored him and continued to do his work.
For several days in a row, the various units of the 129th Division were busy changing their uniforms, and it was only at this time that everyone in the 129th Division, from the commander to the soldiers, witnessed the arrogance of a big dog for the first time.
Weapons and ammunition were delivered in large trucks, dry food, canned meat, helmets, water bottles, belts, bullet bags, and gas masks, which were also provided by each person.
Seeing this scene, even Commander Liu, who had served in the military for many years, couldn't help jokingly saying to Political Commissar Ping: "Old man, this Commander Gao is so generous. It makes me want to stay here."
Political Commissar Ping laughed. To be honest, he had never expected Gao Hongming to be so arrogant. He gave away tens of thousands of rifles, thousands of light and heavy machine guns, and millions of rounds of ammunition on demand. By the way, he also gave tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers in exchange for them all.
uniform.
Even the food was extraordinarily rich. For the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were used to poverty, the food they ate during the New Year was not that rich.
He not only smiled and said: "Captain Gao is indeed very interesting. He gave each of our soldiers a can of meat every day. Now I find that many soldiers are reluctant to eat it. They put the cans away and said they wanted to take them home to their parents. The commander below
We tried to persuade them several times, but some soldiers still hid secretly."
Master Liu pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "It is understandable that the soldiers have good things to leave to their relatives. People and trees can be ruthless, so let them go."
The two of them were talking as they walked towards the headquarters. Along the way, staff officers or officers of the Liantai Militia passed by, and when they saw the two of them, they took the lead in saluting them.
The two of them walked to the war room and saw Gao Hongming, Chi Yaohui and Chief of Staff Li of the 129th Division discussing something on the sand table.
Commander Liu walked over and asked with a smile: "Hey... Commander Gao, Chief of Staff Chi, what are you discussing?"
Gao Hongming looked up and saw that the two men behind him hurriedly said: "Commander Liu, Political Commissar Ping, you are here just in time. I am discussing with Lao Chi and Lao Li that the 129th Division has almost changed its uniforms these days. Should we
Have you ever fought with the Japanese?”
"A trick?" Political Commissar Ping raised his thick eyebrows, "Commander Gao, what are your thoughts? Tell me?"
"I thought so."
Gao Hongming pointed to the sand table and said: "Look, the current deployment of the enemy and us is like this. The Japanese Sixth Division is entrenched along the Liaozi River, Qixing Town, and Hutou Ridge, while the 108th Division is along Wuligou and Zhangqiu.
The town's front line defense.
According to reports from our aerial reconnaissance and ground reconnaissance personnel, after more than half a month of preparation, the Japanese army has deployed three lines of defense in the above area, and dug a large number of anti-tank trenches in front of the position, assuming a defensive posture.
, this made me very confused, so I planned to launch a feign attack on the Japanese army to detect the movement."
"yes!"
Chief of Staff Li also said: "Division commanders, political commissars, judging from the strength of the troops, the current combined strength of the two Japanese divisions should be about 40,000, which is about the same as our number.
With the usual arrogance of the Japanese army, they had suffered such a big loss from Commander Gao some time ago, and they would never swallow their anger. They took an uncharacteristically defensive stance, which puzzled us. Commander Gao and I,
Chief of Staff Chi discussed it for a long time but couldn't figure it out."
Commander Liu and Political Commissar Heping also walked beside them and fell into deep thought while looking at the lifelike large sand table in front of them.
After a long time, Commander Liu pointed at the sand table and said: "The dynamics of the Japanese army are indeed very wrong. They must be holding back some bad news. I suggest that a reconnaissance plane be sent out immediately for reconnaissance. The scope must be farther away, at least four to five hundred
Inside and out.”
Everyone present was shocked when he heard this. Gao Hongming blurted out: "Commander Liu, do you think the Japanese are waiting for reinforcements?"
"Isn't this unlikely?" Chief of Staff Li hesitated and expressed his doubts: "Currently, the main force of the North China Front Army is in northwest Shanxi, and the Shandong area is encircling and suppressing our army's base areas. Where will they get the support...
wrong……"
Staff Officer Li's words stopped abruptly.
Yes, since the main force of the 129th Division can come to Liantai County, why can't the Japanese mobilize troops to pursue them and encircle them?
