Kong Jie is very smart. Even without Huang Yu, his development in the original work of "Bright Sword" is the best among the Iron Triangle.
Not only do you know how to be a good person, but you also know how to employ people. Otherwise, you will not be able to live alone in the future. Your position will rise higher and higher, and there will be almost no accidents.
Seeing at a glance that Li Yunlong was telling him the truth, he burst into laughter at the same time. He put his right hand on Li Yunlong's shoulder and said, "Old Li is a man whose words are hard to follow. He can definitely keep his word."
"If I remember correctly, we brothers have not seen each other for almost a year. We will not be drunk until noon today. The affairs of the regiment will be left to Shen Quan and Huang Yu for the time being. Have a good rest today. You will officially take office tomorrow."
"Let me tell you, the Yizhong Plain is much richer than the northwest of Shanxi. The Japanese and puppet troops are extremely rich. They can get a lot of benefits from just a few battles. I also have a lot of good wine hidden there. I will drink enough today."
Li Yunlong curled his lips and did not answer. At this time, even a fool could see that Shen Quan and Kong Jie had just performed a double act for him, suppressing his arrogance and making himself obey management by showing off the powerful military strength of the Yi Zhong base.
If I say in my heart that I'm not feeling aggrieved, it's all lies.
But soldiers all worship the strong, and Li Yunlong is no exception.
Kong Jie is indeed stronger than him now, and no matter how unhappy he feels, he has to hold it in. Unless he can surpass Kong Jie one day in the future, he will always be the one to outdo him.
I secretly vowed in my heart that I would work hard in the Yizhong base area, help Kong Jie defend the Yizhong base area, take the opportunity to make one or two great achievements, and then leave the Yizhong base area and return to the position of military chief.
Only in this way can he be qualified to compete with Kong Jie.
If he disobeys Kong Jie's command and exposes his emotions in the Duer Regiment to the deputy commander-in-chief, not only will he not have the chance to become a military officer in other units, but he will probably not even be able to keep his position as deputy commander of the Duer Regiment.
At that time, no matter how dissatisfied I was with Kong Jie, I was not qualified to compete with him.
A manly man, capable of bending and stretching. In order to leave the Duer Regiment as soon as possible and return to the position of military commander, he must bow his head when he should, and he should compromise when he should, it's no big deal.
Then his face was replaced by a smile. He looked at Kong Jie and said arrogantly: "The development of the New Group is indeed not as good as your Duer Group, but when it comes to drinking, I have never been afraid of anyone. If I don't put you and me together today." Get down, I, Li Yunlong, write the three characters backwards..."
"Let the cooking team prepare all the good things. I have been sleeping in the open air all the way. I haven't even had a hot meal in the past few days. I must make up for it at noon today."
…………
At the Japanese Brigade Headquarters in Baoding, Cun, center left, rushed into Major General Kawasaki's room with a happy face. He felt as if he had eaten candied fruit, with a smile on his face.
"General, we have come up with an action plan to sweep the base area in the wing."
"This is the order your Excellency the Commander has just forwarded to us: Fifteen days later, the North China Front Army will recruit 10,000 new soldiers and 3,000 new infantry Shanxi First Army. At the same time, a main force regiment will be transferred from the First Army to go north to reinforce Baoding."
"Three thousand new soldiers will supplement the Shandong front line. At the same time, a field regiment will be transferred from Shandong to reinforce Baoding. Three thousand new soldiers will supplement the Peiping garrison. At the same time, a heavy artillery brigade will be transferred, with one artillery unit and one tank brigade to reinforce Baoding."
….
"Your Excellency, the Commander, also seconded a main brigade from the Kwantung Army to go south to reinforce us. It has two field regiments and a mountain artillery brigade, with a total of 7,500 people."
"There are one thousand new recruits left to replenish the Baoding garrison. Plus the troops we can mobilize ourselves, we can assemble at least five field infantry regiments, three mountain field artillery brigades, one heavy artillery brigades, and two tank brigades for the next big sweep. A cavalry brigade, totaling more than 21,000 elite imperial troops."
"We can also mobilize 4,000 Imperial Army troops to join the battle, which adds up to 25,000 troops."
"Because the mopping up troops come from different places, in order to unify the command, Your Excellency the Commander decided to personally stay in Baoding until the big mopping up is over before returning to Peiping."
The more troops are mopped up, the greater the chance that the troops will defeat the Duer Regiment. However, this is not the only condition for defeating the Eighth Route Army. Major General Kawasaki has already been killed by Kong Jie.
We have underestimated the enemy and suffered losses several times, but this time we should not continue to stumble on the same issue no matter what we say.
He quickly put away the smile on his face, looked at Cun Shang Zhongzuo and said seriously: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle."
"We must find out all the information about the Duer Regiment before the Commander arrives. The more detailed the better."
"Has the intelligence department made any new progress during this period?"
"Ha Yi..." Cun Shang Zhong Zuo replied quickly.
Commander Okamura Neiji is personally in charge of Baoding, and Zhongzuo serves as the acting chief of staff of the Baoding garrison, so he will definitely have access to him.
Without this big sweep, given his center-left status, he would probably never have had contact with senior generals like Okamura Neiji in his lifetime.
This is a good opportunity to show his face. If he performs well and is favored by Okamura Neji, he will definitely have a prosperous official career and a bright future.
He had been thinking about this matter since he received the telegram from the headquarters.
It is definitely not his turn to formulate a sweep plan. The headquarters has many professionals. The only thing Okamura Neiji can use for him is intelligence support.
On the way to the war room, he went through all the information that the intelligence department had compiled in his mind, and he already knew it.
Major General Kawasaki thought of an answer as soon as the question came out, and immediately introduced: "The headquarters of the Duer Regiment was indeed destroyed in the aviation bombing."
"Kong Jie, the leader of the Duer Regiment, was away conducting operations and survived."
"Their chief of staff was killed, and a large number of other commanders and Eighth Route Army soldiers were killed."
"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army is currently recruiting new soldiers in the base area to supplement the losses of the participating troops in the battle."
"But no matter how many new soldiers they recruit, they will not be able to complete the training and form combat effectiveness before we launch a major sweep. On the contrary, it will drag down the combat effectiveness of the existing troops."
"After the chief of staff of the Duer Regiment was killed in the bombing, the new chief of staff was called Shen Quan. He came from northwestern Shanxi. He was a battalion commander before and had almost no experience as chief of staff, so it shouldn't be a cause for concern."
"The only one worthy of our attention is Li Yunlong, the newly appointed deputy commander of the Duer Regiment. He is also from northwestern Shanxi, but he has very strong commanding ability and his background is similar to that of Kong Jie."
"In two or three years, a local army with extremely low combat effectiveness was developed into 7,000 elite troops. It was listed as a serious problem for the Shanxi First Army."
"Because he was good at killing prisoners and violated discipline, he was transferred from northwest Shanxi and assigned to the Duer Regiment as deputy commander."
….
"But this guy is very crazy about fighting and very impulsive. These shortcomings should be able to be used to my advantage."
"The Eighth Route Army also dug a large number of tunnels and fortifications in their base areas. It seems they plan to use those tunnels to stop us and protect their base areas."
"I also think that those tunnel fortifications are not a threat."
"No matter how many tunnels there are, they are purely civil fortifications and cannot withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of our army's heavy artillery and aircraft. As long as we bring enough ammunition, the mopping up troops will be able to defeat all enemies who block us along the way and destroy their fortifications. , seize their positions, and finally annihilate all the enemies."
"Don't underestimate the enemy..."
Major General Kawasaki was frightened by Kong Jie being beaten. He became more and more excited as Zhongzuo talked about it, as if he was sure to win the next big sweep before it even started. He couldn't help but remind him.
"According to your commander-in-chief's deployment, the big sweep won't start until a month at the earliest."
"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for new recruits to develop combat effectiveness in such a short period of time."
"But we cannot infer the Yizhong Eighth Route Army based on common sense. Otherwise, in the conflict that just ended, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army would not have been able to send troops to raid the occupied areas, nor could it have sent troops to capture Yixian County."
"You must know that the three garrison regiments and the main force regiment under the Yizhong Eighth Route Army have a large number of new recruits. The proportion far exceeds that of veterans. The training time is less than two months. Under normal circumstances, they will definitely have no chance to form combat effectiveness."
"But the Yizhong Eighth Route Army not only allowed them to form combat capabilities, but also gave them strong offensive capabilities. It is very strange that they conquered a county town of our army."
"We have encountered many accidents like this before and we must not be fooled again."
"Isn't the Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong recruiting new recruits? Find a way to arrange for some intelligence personnel to join the Eighth Route Army as recruits, preferably as officers, to understand the true situation of the opponent at all costs, unlike now, where everything depends on guesswork."
Cun Shangzhongzuo immediately answered: "Commander of the brigade, please rest assured that the intelligence department has launched an operation."
"There are too many new recruits in the Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong. In order to increase the proportion of veterans and improve the combat effectiveness of the army, they pay special attention to the captured Imperial Army soldiers on the battlefield and try every means to mobilize them to join the army."
"The intelligence department used this to successfully recruit more than a dozen intelligence officers to join the Eighth Route Army. One of them has already become a platoon officer because of his outstanding ability."
"If he can achieve some more military exploits on the battlefield, he may become a company commander. Then he will be qualified to access some secret information that ordinary soldiers cannot access."
"Yoshi, very good..." Major General Kawasaki's serious face finally showed a long-lost smile.
…………
At the Duer Regiment Headquarters, Li Yunlong shouted to Kong Jie as soon as he arrived at the door: "Kong Er, what are you planning to do... If nothing happens, give me a garrison and I will personally lead them into Baoding." , got into the little devil’s belly and caused everything to turn upside down.”
"You have a beautiful idea, come here quickly..." Kong Jie took Li Yunlong directly to the map.
"The Wangdu Garrison Corps is located due west of the base area. It governs the two counties of Yixian and Wangdu. Yi County has just been captured, and there are still a large number of Japanese and puppet forces that have not been eliminated. You go to the Wangdu Garrison Corps to supervise the battle."
"Control Yi County as quickly as possible and completely integrate it into our military base."
"At the same time, we will expand the Wangdu garrison and let them be fully staffed as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness."
"The last task is to dig tunnels, and it is also the most important. Their role is crucial to whether the counter-mopping operations can hold the base."
