After coming out of the gendarmerie, Liu Heiqi and Li Mingding returned to the military camp together.
In the Military Police just now, Li Mingding discovered that Liu Heiqi seemed to be quite respected in front of the two old devils, Kojima Yoshizo and Machida Ryuji. In particular, Machida Ryuji was very affectionate to him, just like a friend. This is true in Japan's high-end
It was rare for an officer to interact with a puppet army officer, so he deliberately got close to him after he came out.
Li Mingding said respectfully: "Brother Liu, I'm here for the first time. I don't know many people in the Mongolian army. It can be said that my eyesight is dark. I will ask you to take care of me from now on."
Li Mingding's implication is that I will hang out with you from now on.
When Liu Heiqi heard this, he was overjoyed. The reason why he was so attentive to Li Mingding was because he had the idea of recruiting Li Mingding as an aid? There is a saying that a small temple is dark but the wind is strong, and the water is shallow and there are many fools.
Even though the Mongolian army only had a few divisions, there were quite a few hilltop factions inside, among which Liu Heiqi was the weakest.
But if Li Mingding's newly formed Thirty-Fourth Division can be recruited as Austrian reinforcements, Liu Heiqi will immediately become the strongest leader of the Puppet Mongolian Army! He can even overwhelm Li Yannian, the nominal commander-in-chief of the Puppet Mongolian Army. After all,
The combat effectiveness of the Sui Army is not just a boast, it is really strong! Li Mingding is even more of a warrior.
At that moment, Liu Heiqi grinned from ear to ear and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are so polite. I will not take care of anyone. We are just begging for food under the Japanese and taking care of each other. If there is any place in the future, I will be needed."
Yes, just ask, as long as I, Liu Heiqi, can do it, I will do my best to help."
Li Mingding immediately said: "Then from now on, I will follow you, Brother Liu."
"Brother, you are too foreign." Liu Heiqi patted Li Mingding on the shoulder and laughed, "Come on, I just asked my men to prepare a roasted whole lamb. It's freezing in the cold weather. Eat some lamb and drink it."
Serve a few cups of Xifeng wine, that is beauty." After a pause, he said with a lewd smile, "Of course, it would be even better if you can have a beautiful woman to accompany you."
Li Mingding also laughed a few times in response to the situation.
Soon the two of them were walking arm in arm.
…
There's not much to say about what happened next.
Before the 101st Division of the Sui Army and the New 32nd Division came forward, the rebels of the New 34th Division withdrew to Ukraine under the protection of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Mongolian Army and the Fourth Cavalry Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army.
Lanqab and Zhuozi County were also abandoned by Xiaodao Jizang because the county was too small and the defense facilities were too crude.
This is also related to the fact that Naosaburo Okabe did not want to go to war with the Sui Army at this time.
Because at this time, the troops stationed in Mongolia were not yet ready for a counterattack.
In order not to affect the counterattack in the spring of next year, Naosaburo Okabe did not mind abandoning several small counties.
However, before abandoning the defense of Zhuozi County, Kojima Jizo looted the entire county, leaving only a mess and thousands of people without overnight food for the Sui Army. The Sui Army could not refuse to save them.
Being able to provide the only military rations to support the people made the Sui Army's food shortage even more serious, and it was about to run out of food.
This insidious move by Kojima Yoshizo effectively prevented the Sui Army's pursuit.
Because the Japanese can ignore the life and death of the people, but the Sui army cannot.
Fu Zuoyi immediately ordered the 101st Division to stop the pursuit, enter Zhuozi County to maintain order, and at the same time give porridge to the victims.
As the chairman of Suiyuan Province, Fu Zuoyi does not want large-scale starvation deaths to occur under his rule. As a soldier, isn't it to protect the people? In this regard, Fu Zuoyi's ideas are still relatively close to those of the Eighth Route Army. It is no wonder that he
I can cooperate so well with the Eighth Route Army.
Without the 101st Division, the New 32nd Division would be unable to fight alone. It would not dare to pursue it any further when it reaches the vicinity of the Eighteenth Platform. If it pursues further, what if it is surrounded by Japanese soldiers? In the final analysis, Wu
There are quite a lot of Japanese and puppet troops in Lanqab, totaling almost 30,000 people!
As soon as the New 32nd Division stopped, the situation in Suiyuan calmed down.
After Li Mingding's new 34th Division retreated to Ulanqab, it was immediately reorganized into the 10th Infantry Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army. However, Kojima Jizo still gave the new 34th Division a little buffer time and did not
Their division was immediately transferred to the 18th front line and placed in Ulanqab City, but all the ammunition was confiscated.
This is also the Japanese rule. No puppet Mongolian army can keep ammunition privately.
That evening, Li Mingding came back from drinking at Liu Heiqi's place. As soon as he walked into the station, his adjutant came in and reported: "Master, there is a man who claims to be a fellow of yours. He said he came to ask you to make something."
It was a small business, but from the accent I knew he was fake and not from Yuanqu at all, so I arrested him."
Li Mingding's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice: "Where are the people?"
The adjutant said: "Let me be locked up in the woodshed and sent two brothers to watch."
"It's all nonsense!" Li Mingding shouted in a low voice, "Why don't you go and invite people here."
The adjutant agreed, turned around quickly, and walked in with someone after a while.
Seeing the person coming, Li Mingding quickly saluted and said, "Deputy Commander, why are you here in person?"
The adjutant was immediately startled when he heard this. Unexpectedly, this guy who claimed to be a Shanxi businessman turned out to be Ye Qijie, the deputy commander of the 35th Army. No wonder he felt familiar, but this was also because the adjutant had just joined the New 34th Division not long ago.
Except for Li Mingding and Fu Zuoyi, the other generals of the Northern Route Army are still not fully recognized.
However, despite being surprised, the adjutant was also a little confused.
What is the deputy commander of the 35th Army doing here? Hasn’t the New 34th Division already changed sides, surrendered to Japan and become a traitor? How come he still has contact with the deputy commander of the 35th Army?
Could it be that Deputy Commander Ye also wanted to betray and join the Japs and become a traitor?
The adjutant didn't understand until Li Mingding sent him outside to guard the door.
Li Mingding had no time to care about the adjutant's thoughts, because he knew that the adjutant would never betray him. The two were not only fellow villagers in Yuanqu County, but also brothers of the same clan and clan.
Li Mingding closed the door and said to Ye Qijie: "Deputy Commander, I'm really sorry for what happened just now..."
"Brother Mingding, let's not talk about these irrelevant things." Ye Qijie waved his hand and said, "I am here to tell you the entire plan and what your new 34th Division should do."
Li Mingding subconsciously took out a small notebook and a pen.
Ye Qijie immediately stopped him and said, "Don't take notes, just remember."
Li Mingding nodded and put the notebook and pen back into the drawer.
Ye Qijie added: "The whole plan is like this. First, the Langya Brigade will carry out a beheading battle against the Japanese headquarters and destroy the command system of the cavalry group stationed in Mongolia. Then the Chahar Independent Regiment will cooperate with the 101st Division and the New Third Division.
The Twelfth Division launched a general attack on Ulanqab from three directions at the same time."
"Has the Chahar Independent Group also come?" Li Mingding was refreshed.
Having cooperated in the Wuyuan Battle, Li Mingding still had great trust in the combat effectiveness of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
Ye Qijie nodded and said: "After the battle starts, the Japanese will definitely distribute ammunition to you. Once you get the ammunition, don't worry about anything else and just go and capture the granary."
Li Mingding wondered: "Deputy Commander, this may be difficult."
After a slight pause, Li Mingding continued: "I have inquired from Liu Heiqi. The granary is very tightly defended. The old devil Yoshizo Kojima not only placed two infantry squadrons in the granary, but also attacked the granary.
The surrounding walls have been specially reinforced and reinforced, and it is basically a small fortress!"
Ye Qijie's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he said unhappily: "Are you scared now?"
"No, deputy commander, that's not what I meant." Li Mingding said quickly, "No matter how tight the Japs' defenses are, I am confident of taking them down. I'm just a little worried. After the battle starts, once the Japs realize that the granary can no longer be defended,
, it is very possible to lose your mind and start a fire in advance. In this case, we will not be able to stop it no matter what."
"Don't worry about that." Ye Qijie said, "Leave this matter to Langya. After the Langya brigade completes the beheading, they will come over to cooperate with you in seizing the granary."
"Will there be Langya to cooperate with us in fighting?" Li Mingding immediately felt relieved, "Then there will be no problem."
After a slight pause, Li Mingding said again: "Deputy Commander, the 35th Army should also form a Wolf Fang Brigade. Such a unit is very useful."
"Don't worry about this. Do you really think it is so easy to form the Langya Brigade?" Ye Qijie shook his head and said, "Langya is powerful and can play an unexpected role at critical moments. But after the granary was attacked,
The Japanese in the city will definitely jump over the wall and send reinforcements like crazy. At this time, you must resist me!"
After a pause, Ye Qijie continued: "After all, the Japs have built a complete chain of fortifications outside Ulanqab. Even if the Langya Brigade destroys the command system, we can't break into the city right away. At this time, we can't.
It all depends on your teacher, so you teacher must stand up to me!"
When Li Mingding heard this, he stood at attention and said solemnly: "As long as the humble post is still alive, and as long as there is still one person in the New 34th Division, we will never let a Japanese enter the granary, let alone destroy a grain of grain.
!”
"No!" Ye Qijie said solemnly, "The warehouses must be defended, the food must be preserved, and your New Thirty-Fourth Division must also be preserved! After the battle is over, you must return with a fully organized New Thirty-Fourth Division.
Otherwise I won’t let you go, and the chief executive won’t let you go, even if you become a ghost.”
Ye Qijie's words seemed excessive, but how could Li Mingding not hear the amount of concern contained in his words?
At that moment, Li Mingding solemnly saluted Ye Qijie with a military salute and said loudly: "Don't worry, Vice President, the New 34th Division will never disgrace its orders and guarantee to complete its mission!"
