So Li Yunlong carefully selected ten well-educated soldiers from the army... Since the Independent Regiment had to engage in infantry-tank coordination and infantry-artillery coordination, there were more and more educated soldiers in the Independent Regiment. Li Yunlong died all day long.
The words he said about scholars being unreliable gradually disappeared. It is estimated that even he himself was embarrassed to say this again.
When he arrived at Wanxian Airport, Li Yunlong also told the soldiers: "Listen to me, you all. Learn more from Xiao Dongbei, especially how to use airplanes. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" everyone responded.
However, the ten soldiers Li Yunlong brought were nominally brought to serve as guards for Wang Xuexin... well-educated guards, and one of them was a high school student. Isn't this a bit of a waste?
Li Yunlong went straight to Wang Xuexin's office and found out that Wang Xuexin had just left and said he was going to the headquarters for a meeting.
Li Yunlong became interested now and asked Xiao Dongbei to go to the headquarters for a meeting? He didn't even call him the leader? With this level of secrecy, is there going to be a big war?
I asked Principal Tang again and found out that he indeed brought a map with him, and it was also a map provided by Ye Peng, Minister of Defense of the puppet army.
How could that be wrong?
Li Yunlong immediately laughed "hehehe": "Damn it, there is meat to eat again! My independent group has expanded to its current size, and now we can make a big profit!"
Then another thought:
That’s not right!
If there is a task for the independent group, why don't you ask me to go to the meeting?
Moreover...the task of the Independent Regiment is to defend Yuncheng. If the Independent Regiment is pulled out to fight, will Yuncheng become an empty city?
In other words, the independent group will be left behind this time?
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. In desperation, Li Yunlong sent a telegram to the headquarters asking for a fight. There was a bit of humility in his words, saying that most of the independent regiments were recruits and they needed to fight a few battles to practice their skills.
In fact, the commander did intend to let Li Yunlong stay in Yuncheng. When he received the telegram, he smiled and said: "Lianshou, what you need to practice in defending Yuncheng is defense. We are going to attack now! Besides, you want a chance to train.
Don’t others want it?”
The chief of staff laughed and said: "I see, this Li Yunlong is not thinking about training troops, but thinking about the Japanese supplies! In his words, eating meat!"
As he said this, the chief and chief of staff burst into laughter.
But Wang Xuexin looked at the map and said nothing.
Seeing that Wang Xuexin looked different, the chief asked: "What? Have you thought of a way?"
Wang Xuexin replied: "Chief, this time, maybe we really want to fight the independent group out for a fight!"
"Oh, tell me!" The chief's eyes lit up: "As long as we can transport those machines back, it will be the same no matter which army we send out to fight!"
Wang Xuexin pointed to Jiangyangfu on the map and said: "Chief, we always feel that there is only one road and one entrance leading to Jiangyangfu, and it is difficult to move things..."
The chief of staff couldn't help but ask: "But there is indeed only one road from Jiangyangfu to Luliang!"
"There's one more!" Wang Xuexin drew lightly on the map with his finger.
The chief of staff and the chief couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and said one word in unison: "Railway?!"
Gu Kai
Then the chief seemed to understand Wang Xuexin's plan, and nodded slightly thoughtfully.
The chief of staff turned to Wang Xuexin with a puzzled look on his face: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, the Japanese railway does not lead to our direction, and it cannot be transported no matter what!"
Wang Xuexin replied: "We can build the railway if it is blocked. When the Japanese occupied Yuncheng, they once built the railway into Yuncheng, but we later demolished it. The Japanese section of the railway is still there!"
The chief of staff nodded.
The Japanese section of the railway is indeed preserved.
This is so that it can be reused when Yuncheng is occupied again in the future, so as not to waste manpower and material resources by demolishing and rebuilding.
Second, when attacking Yuncheng, the frontline troops will definitely need a lot of supplies, such as bullets and artillery shells. Especially Okamura Neiji plans to fight a war of attrition and a protracted war with the Eighth Route Army. The railway can be used to transport supplies to the Japanese troops.
Therefore, as long as the railway between Yuncheng and less than three miles outside the city is repaired and connected again during the war, the railway from Jiangyangfu will go directly to Yuncheng.
Wang Xuexin said: "There are more than a dozen factories. If we use mule carts, horse-drawn carriages, and cars to transport it by road, we will not be able to transport much in several trips back and forth, and we will not be able to make it in time. It is easy to be blocked by enemy fighter planes. It is different when transporting it by train.
Now, load all the machines onto a flatbed truck and drag them all back in one go. One train will almost be able to transport it, right? If that doesn’t work, just bring in two trains!”
"Yes!" The chief nodded heavily: "You can pay for the trains from the Japanese! You can get as much as you want!"
But the chief of staff is still a little worried: "But is it too dangerous to do this? The train takes the railway, and it is more than 100 kilometers from Yuncheng to Jiangyangfu. As long as there is a problem in one section, or the Japanese bomb the railway track...
This plan is almost over!"
Wang Xuexin looked at the map and said: "That's why we asked for speed. After we occupied Jiangyangfu, we pretended to set fires everywhere, making the Japanese think we were burning down the factory instead of moving machines!"
The leader nodded again: "This is how we have always destroyed enemy factories! If the Japanese thought we were burning factories and didn't know we were moving machines, of course they wouldn't have thought that we would use trains to take down enemy factories from the railway line.
Ship them out!”
The chief of staff asked: "But what to do with the more than 100 kilometers of railway lines? As soon as our train starts moving, the Japanese may find that they can't pass through even if any one of them is blown up. That's more than 100 kilometers, and our army can't pass it no matter what.
There is no way to capture it and keep it safe at the same time!”
The Chief of Staff is right. With more than 100 kilometers of railway line, even if the entire army is mobilized to capture this railway line, it will be difficult to capture it overnight, let alone ensuring safety. At that time, offense and defense will be reversed.
And based on the principle that offense is greater than defense, it is almost impossible to achieve it.
But Wang Xuexin shook his head and replied: "We don't protect the railway lines!"
"No protection?" The chief of staff looked in disbelief: "How can we pass without protection?"
Wang Xuexin said: "Not only do we not protect, we also attack as usual and destroy the railway line!"
The chief of staff didn't respond for a long time. He even wondered if he heard it wrong. The train was carrying supplies and was going to attack and destroy the railway line?
The leader burst into laughter: "If we attack and destroy the railway line, the Japanese will help us protect the railway line! The whole journey is more than 100 kilometers, and it takes more than two hours for the train to reach Yuncheng. We will bet on the Japanese's brains."
They didn’t turn around, thinking we were still carrying out a traffic attack like last time! I bet they didn’t know that the train passing in front of them was our train!”
Only then did the chief of staff understand the profound meaning of Wang Xuexin's plan. He couldn't help but look at Wang Xuexin without saying a word for a while. This was too bold and risky.
But... how can we fight without taking risks?
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
Besides, the Eighth Route Army had not suffered any losses.
