Li Yunlong smiled smugly at the side and said: "Ding Wei, you don't have that fate. You took advantage of Laozi's new regiment. Now look at Laozi's independent regiment. They have more men and horses than you, and their equipment is newer than yours." One ball is more than twice as good, are you convinced or not?"
Ding Wei was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to say to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, you are still a man of justice. Without your help, some people will not stick their tails there."
Kong Jie also couldn't stand Li Yunlong's face. He said: "Old Ding, you are right. Some people are not very capable, so they rely on their own good fortune to get the benefits of Brother Dalong and others. How blind are they?" Se, I don’t know why you are so thick-skinned?”
Li Yunlong didn't care about Ding Wei and Kong Jie's sarcasm and laughed.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the combat meeting was officially held.
The brigade commander said: "Brothers! During this period of time, the Japanese invaders have strictly blockaded the Taihang Mountain base area, causing serious economic difficulties to the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the base area.
The headquarters instructed us to launch an offensive campaign, first opening a gap in the southwest of Taihang Mountain. Therefore, the headquarters decided that eight regiments of our brigade, plus the Mawushan guerrillas, would launch an offensive campaign against the Japanese army. "
After the brigade commander finished speaking, the chief of staff introduced the surrounding enemy situation.
According to the location in the southwest of Taihang Mountain, the Japanese 108th Division, the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade, and some puppet troops were originally responsible for the blockade.
After the battle just now, the main force of the Japanese 108th Division suffered heavy losses. The Japanese Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade also lost an infantry brigade. The Japanese army was relatively empty and its morale was affected to a certain extent. It was our army that launched the counterattack , a good time to break the Japanese blockade.
The chief of staff had formulated a combat plan. After the explanation, the leaders of each regiment, Xu Dalong and others began to discuss it.
The leaders of each regiment expressed their opinions one after another. Xu Dalong and others listened carefully and did not express any opinions.
The chief of staff asked: "Xu Dalong, what do you think of this combat plan?"
Xu Dalong said respectfully: "The combat plan formulated by the brigade commander and chief of staff is effective, and the heads of each regiment have also expressed constructive opinions. We are not very familiar with the situation here, and we can't offer anything constructive We are here to express our opinions and resolutely obey the orders of our superiors, and we will fight wherever the leaders tell us."
The Mawushan guerrillas have strong soldiers and horses, and strong combat capabilities. Their past records have been very good. The leaders of each regiment, including the brigade commander and chief of staff, all look up to them.
Xu Dalong and others consciously lowered their positions and were very respectful to the chiefs. Their attitude won the unanimous favor of the chiefs.
Xu Dalong has always maintained this humble attitude, and this is not an affectation. He knows that these leaders are all veterans who have been in the army for many years. Each of them is experienced in hundreds of battles and is an absolute veteran.
When he was the commander of a battalion or above, Xu Dalong was just a recruit who had just joined the army. In front of these big guys, he was definitely a junior. It was right to show respect to the chiefs.
The brigade commander smiled and said: "Very good, it's good that your guerrillas have this kind of attitude, but in this battle, you, the Mawushan guerrillas, will take the lead."
Xu Dalong said again: "Resolutely obey the order and hit wherever the leader directs."
The brigade commander nodded and said: "This time, our main combat goal is to annihilate the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade. They are stationed in the county town, and a large number of defenses have been built around the county town. The brigade headquarters decided to use your guerrilla forces Taking advantage of the team's equipment, they mobilized their chariot troops as vanguards to cover the main forces of each regiment, and launched an attack on the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade.
After the battle begins, the remaining troops of the Japanese 108th Division in the direction of Yucheng and the fifth brigade of the puppet army will come for reinforcements. Your Mawushan guerrillas will be responsible for blocking the Japanese army before destroying the independent mixed fourth brigade. , we must block the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops. "
"Yes, resolutely complete the task." Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu stood at attention and said.
The brigade commander was very satisfied and stretched out his hand to signal them to sit down.
Xu Dalong still stood there and said: "Report to the brigade commander, I have another suggestion."
The brigade commander said with interest: "You tell me."
Xu Dalong said: "Brigade Commander, Chief of Staff, distinguished leaders, the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade has five infantry brigades, as well as an artillery brigade, an engineering brigade, and a heavy supply brigade. The total strength is 13,000 people. Its strength exceeds that of the ordinary Japanese army in the field. A brigade-level unit of the same level as the army. In the last battle, although an infantry brigade was lost, the total strength was still tens of thousands, and the strength was very strong.
Although there are eight regiments of our troops participating in the war this time, even if we add the guerrilla tank brigade, we still don't have much advantage in strength.
I suggest that all the artillery and infantry groups of the Mawushan guerrillas be put under the command of the brigade to participate in the attack on the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade.
As for the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Yucheng, it is enough for me to bring only the special operations comprehensive squadron and the cavalry division. "
Hearing this, everyone was talking a lot. Everyone knows that the artillery firepower of the Mawushan guerrillas is very powerful. Although it is only an artillery brigade, the total number of artillery fires is more than the combined number of the eight regiments participating in the war.
The infantry brigade of the guerrillas is also powerful and well-trained. If such a new force is added to participate in the battle, the battle to encircle and annihilate the independent mixed fourth brigade of the Japanese army will be much easier.
Although the brigade commander believed in Xu Dalong's combat capabilities, the stakes were high and he asked with some concern: "Is it possible to block reinforcements from the Japanese 108th Division by relying solely on a special operations squadron and a cavalry detachment?"
Xu Dalong said firmly: "Please rest assured, chief, I am willing to issue a military order to ensure that the Japanese reinforcements will not rush to the battlefield even if they are sent one by one."
The brigade commander was very satisfied with Xu Dalong's attitude of taking the overall situation into consideration and shouldering heavy responsibilities bravely. He said: "This is better. With the participation of your guerrilla infantry and artillery units, this battle will be more important for annihilating the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade. It adds a sense of certainty. That’s it.”
After the combat meeting, the ministries will set off.
Xu Dalong and Sun Desheng will lead their troops to the direction of Yucheng in advance to block the reinforcements of the Japanese 108th Division.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao came to see them off.
Li Yunlong said: "Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng, I know you have a way of fighting, but there are a lot of Japanese reinforcements. You must be careful and use your brains when fighting. Don't suffer a loss."
Xu Dalong said gratefully: "Captain, don't worry, we will definitely be able to complete the mission."
Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao also told Xu Dalong and Sun Desheng respectively to pay attention to their safety.
Xu Dalong and Sun Desheng were very grateful for the care of the old leaders. They stood at attention and saluted, then mounted their horses and whipped, and galloped away.
