386 Brigade Headquarters
"This kid Li Yunlong is really awesome. He killed Yongfu Hiroku of the Fourth Brigade." The leader of the 771 regiment was shocked when he learned the news.
The fourth brigade is the elite among the elite of the Japanese.
In the last battle of Cangyunling, Li Yunlong killed the Bantian Regiment of the 4th Brigade.
This time, even the leader of the 4th Brigade, Isao Hirakaku, was killed and his home was ransacked. It was really a shame.
Cheng Xiazi's tone was a bit sour: "If you give me six to seven thousand people, I can kill him Hirakata Yongfu!"
"Captain Cheng, let's not be upset. After this battle, the next time we see Li Yunlong, you and I will have to salute him if we have any trouble." The leader of the 771 regiment said, with complicated emotions in his heart.
In the past, the 771st and 772nd regiments were the famous and designated main regiments of the 386th Brigade. Li Yunlong's new regiment was, to put it mildly, a beggar regiment.
Within half a year, the new regiment was strong and strong, with six to seven thousand elite soldiers.
Maybe during the Chinese New Year, Li Yunlong will be directly promoted to brigade commander.
Someone who was once looked down upon will soon be promoted to the position of brigade commander. The commander of the 771st regiment is really... shameless.
"Next time? It depends on whether this kid Li Yunlong has the ability to escape from the reinforcements of the four Jaap Brigades." Cheng Xiazi said.
Yoshio Shinozuka was so frantic that he mobilized troops from the four Japanese brigades and clamored not to let the new regiment survive until the New Year. This matter had spread throughout the 386th Brigade.
Many people are worried about Li Yunlong.
Although the new regiment now has six to seven thousand elite soldiers, the Japanese reinforcements are by no means vegetarian!
"Captain Cheng, you immediately send men to support Li Yunlong." At this time, Deputy Brigadier Xu of the 386th Brigade came over quickly and ordered Cheng Xiazi.
"Let me support Li Yunlong?" Cheng Xiazi paused and looked at Deputy Brigadier Xu: "Is it possible that there is an emergency over Li Yunlong's side?"
If Li Yunlong was made into a dumpling, the 772nd Regiment would be an added bonus.
Deputy Brigadier Xu of the 386th Brigade slapped Cheng Xiazi on the forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about? It was Li Yunlong who made a huge fortune in the 4th Brigade. We really can't finish all the things. Please hurry up and send more manpower there." .”
"Li Yunlong made a huge fortune in the Fourth Brigade?" Cheng Xiazi Mengshen looked at Deputy Brigadier Xu: "What does it mean to make a huge fortune?"
According to Cheng Xiazi's understanding of the Fourth Brigade, the Fourth Brigade does not have much oil and water. If he wants to make a fortune, there is no way to make money, unless he, Li Yunlong, is on the Zhengtai line...
Thinking of this, Blind Cheng couldn't help but look at Deputy Brigadier Xu: "Li Yunlong didn't just rob the Zhengtai Line, he just happened to rob an important military column of the Japanese."
"Li Yunlong forced a military column to stop, carrying important military machine tools." Deputy Brigadier Xu of the 386th Brigade said solemnly, "Get these things back, and our 18th Group Army will have the ability to independently produce ammunition and weapons in the future. Able."
"What, the important military machine tools carried on the military column!" The 771 regiment leader and Cheng Xiazi were both shocked.
Although the two are the main group leaders, the ammunition of the 772nd and 771st regiments is also limited. They cannot be as wealthy as the Japanese and cannot fight openly.
And after getting this machine tool back, our own arsenal will be able to produce weapons and ammunition independently in the future! !
Oh my God, this guy Li Yunlong not only made a huge fortune, he just got lucky.
Li Yunlong was promoted to brigade commander based on this merit alone.
One level above is more than enough.
"So, hurry up and send out all the human and animal power you can." Deputy Brigadier Xu of the 386th Brigade said.
"But Yoshio Shinozuka also mobilized heavy reinforcements from the four Japs brigades..." Cheng Xiazi remembered something. The Japs had heavy troops coming for reinforcements. Their speed must be faster than the team transporting machines and machine tools. Once the Japs know the military ranks, Being robbed, Li Yunlong's new group of people might not be able to stop him.
"You don't need to worry about how Li Yunlong is going to fend off the Japanese reinforcements!" Deputy Brigadier Xu interrupted Cheng Xiazi: "Your mission is to assist the New Regiment to retrieve everything for me without missing a thing! Even if..."
"Even what?" Cheng Xiazi asked.
"Even if Li Yunlong is heavily surrounded and in danger of being annihilated, you can't turn back. You have to understand that these machines are more important than the troops!" Deputy Brigadier Xu said seriously, "If Li Yunlong is eliminated, I don't care about you. Whatever you can do, you have to bring the machine back. This is the fatal order given to us by the headquarters to the 386th Brigade! Even if the 386th Brigade is completely exhausted, we cannot lose a single screw!"
"Yes." Cheng Xiazi went immediately.
The leader of the 771st regiment asked Deputy Brigadier Xu: "How about we, the 772nd regiment, send some people to help Commander Cheng?"
"The brigade headquarters needs people to guard the home. You, the 771st Regiment, should do your part!" Deputy Brigadier Xu said, waving his hands.
Such a large brigade headquarters cannot be without troops to look after it.
There is no guarantee that Yoshio Shinozuka's reinforcements may reach the 386th Brigade Headquarters.
"Yes." The leader of the 771 regiment responded, clenching his fists as he watched Blind Cheng hurriedly set off with a large number of manpower and energy.
Opportunities and crises fell upon the 386th Brigade at the same time.
If the 386th Brigade can survive this hurdle, the 18th Army will have a future of independently producing weapons and ammunition.
If the 386 Brigade cannot withstand this hurdle, no, the 386 Brigade can definitely overcome this hurdle!
Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Lao Peng, great news."
The chief of general staff excitedly told the deputy commander: "The 386th Brigade has just reported that Li Yunlong has succeeded. They have successfully attacked a section of the Zhengtai Line and forced a stop of the Japanese military column carrying machine tools. The new regiment is stepping up The time transfer machine tool is short of manpower, so the 772nd Regiment has been sent to support it.”
boom!
Upon hearing this, the deputy commander smashed his fist on the table: "Great, Wu Ze's information is indeed correct. With this machine tool back, we will have the ability to independently produce ammunition in the future. Especially bullets, made in the border area The quality of those bullets is indeed very poor."
Bullets are one of the most consumed and fastest ammunition on the battlefield.
In the past, the deputy commander-in-chief also visited the arsenal in the border area.
The bullet shells picked up on the battlefield were used for secondary loading. Due to backward industry, the airtightness of the bullets loaded again was not good.
When the bullet is fired, it cannot obtain enough kinetic energy, and the range and accuracy are greatly affected.
It's not like the little Japanese's 38-inch bullets, which are sharp and long, and can hit far and accurately.
And now, if we take back the little devil's brand-new machine tool, we can make good-quality bullets in the future.
"Yes, the significance of getting the machine tools back is really extraordinary!" The chief of general staff nodded, "When the time comes, I must ask for credit from Xiao Wu."
"I don't know where Xiao Wu is now." The deputy commander muttered. He judged that Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade would take Wu Ze to the headquarters after receiving Wu Ze, but he should still be on the way at this moment. .
"As long as Xiao Wu comes back, then the big trouble with Li Yunlong may not be a big deal at all..." The chief of general staff did not finish his words.
Someone quickly came to report: "Report, Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade is back."
Brigadier Chen is back? !
Upon hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff immediately said in unison: "Let's go, hurry up and welcome Wu Ze back."
In the past, the Chief of General Staff met Wu Ze once in the 28th Regiment.
The deputy commander-in-chief has not met Wu Ze yet.
In front of them, Brigadier Chen was back. Both of them thought that Brigadier Chen had brought Wu Ze to the headquarters.
"Chief of General Staff, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!" Brigadier Chen gasped and saluted the Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Chief of General Staff, exhausted to the extreme.
The reason why he was able to return so quickly was, on the one hand, non-stop, and on the other hand, the location of the headquarters was right under the nose of Yoshio Shinozuka, not far from Taiyuan.
"Old Chen, why are you and your guard platoon the only ones back, but not Xiao Wu?" The chief of general staff asked the brigade commander suspiciously without seeing Wu Ze.
The brigade commander replied: "Xiao Wu said that he wanted to follow the machine parts to logistics first and help out in the military industry. I agreed."
"Is that so." The deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of general staff looked at each other, and the latter asked: "Li Yunlong's elimination of Hirakabi Yoshio angered Yoshio Shinozuka, and Yoshio Shinozuka dispatched 30,000 troops from four Japanese brigades to encircle and suppress them. Li Yunlong, does Xiao Wu know the news?"
Now, the troops that Yoshio Shinozuka has drawn from the four Japanese brigades have been clarified.
Among them, the strength of the Japanese soldiers was 10,000, and the remaining 20,000 were the Imperial Alliance Army.
Not to mention the Imperial Alliance Army, there were only 10,000 Japanese soldiers. Once Li Yunlong's new regiment faced them, it would not be child's play!
These are elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles on the frontal battlefield. It is not difficult at all for 10,000 Japanese soldiers to attack a few divisions of Chiang Kai-shek head-on.
"Actually, all this has been expected by Xiao Wu." Brigadier Chen said.
"Everything was expected by Xiao Wu?" Upon hearing this, the Chief of General Staff and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
Since Wu Ze had planned the strategy in advance, he must have already had a countermeasure for the big trouble that Yoshio Shinozuka was facing by deploying 30,000 troops to encircle and suppress Li Yunlong.
The Chief of General Staff jumped in front of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief: "So Xiao Wu has a countermeasure?"
"Chief of General Staff, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, let's go into the room and talk." said the brigade commander.
Although Wu Ze only provided an idea to the brigade commander, the brigade commander's leadership ability was also outstanding.
The three heroes of Huangpu in the past were trained by the appointed director as their successors.
On the way to the headquarters, the brigade commander had already perfected the entire plan in his mind.
Including how to let Li Yunlong lure four Japanese reinforcements to one place, and then how to let Zhou Weiguo lead the special forces to destroy the enemy's baggage, and finally how to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall in a hurry, etc.
"Let's go, come in, come in." The deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of general staff each took one of the brigade commander's hands and hurriedly dragged him to the headquarters.
"Come, drink some water." The deputy commander personally poured tea for the brigade commander.
The brigade commander was not polite. He took it and drank it. After he had regained his breath, he said: "Wu Ze's idea is to use the heavy snow to block the road. The Japs have difficulty in supplying food and grass. They can only carry the troops with them to find opportunities. Let the special forces trained by Li Yunlong launch a surprise attack and destroy the food and grass supply of the Japanese army of 30,000. In the ice and snow, once the Japanese army of 30,000 soldiers runs out of food and Yoshio Shinozuka's rescue cannot be delivered in a short time, then Li Yunlong will have no chance of defeating others without fighting. This is what I think about the specific plan..."
The deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of general staff did not interrupt the brigade commander's statement. Their expressions became more and more excited as they listened to the brigade commander's statement.
In the past, Wu Ze made a strategic plan to build the Fortress Village, which was to cut off the water supply to the Fortress Village!
And now, the Japanese reinforcements are to be deprived of food!
With the heavy snow blocking the road, the army rations behind the enemy could not be sent up. The genius-like strategy, worked out, and defeated the enemy without fighting, really makes people marvel again!
After listening to Brigadier Chen's plan, the two of them still looked intoxicated.
It sounds like it's an art.
As if this is not a war, this is a beautiful art.
The brigade commander saw the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of general staff being so gaffe-like, but he didn't bother them.
In the past, at the Battle of Wangershan, Wu Zezhi's plan effortlessly killed 20,000 Japanese puppet troops!
That time, the meaning was just to kill the enemy!
But this time is different. This time, in addition to the meaning of killing enemies, there is another important meaning.
That is to ensure that the machine tools snatched from the Japanese army can be preserved, so that the 18th Army will completely have its own military industry from now on, a military industry in the true sense!
After a long time, the Chief of General Staff came to his senses and could not describe his inner excitement in words: "In the past, when your new regiment of the 386th Brigade wanted to form a special force, it required a large amount of materials, including captured cars and artillery. I was not I can truly understand the meaning of special operations, and now, just a few dozen people like Li Yunlong can have the opportunity to destroy the food, grass and baggage of the Japanese army of 30,000. I am really lucky that I chose to fully support your 386 brigade, otherwise, this If this crisis cannot be effectively resolved, I don’t know how many more soldiers will shed their blood and sacrifice their lives.”
At the beginning, it was the brigade commander who came to the chief of general staff and told him the meaning of special operations.
The Chief of General Staff felt that this concept was very constructive, so he fully supported it.
Including the brigade commander's request to exchange two cannons with the New Fourth Army for instructor Zhou Weiguo, the chief of general staff also agreed.
You know, a few months ago, artillery was an extremely rare heavy weapon for the 18th Army. If Li Yunlong hadn't captured six cannons, the total number of artillery in the entire army would not have exceeded ten. Among them, Including broken cannons that cannot be used.
But in order to try to build special forces, the Chief of General Staff resolutely chose to support the 386th Brigade.
Then there are the props, ammunition and supplies needed to train the troops.
There was also a new regiment to increase the number of special forces personnel and further need more supplies. The chief of general staff chose to give full support.
But now, the seeds sown in the past are about to bear glorious fruits.
Just a few dozen people can have the opportunity to overcome the tight blockade of the Japanese army, destroy 30,000 enemy grain and grass, greatly reduce our own casualties, and even defeat the enemy without fighting!
The special operations idea provided by Wu Ze is really an advanced military concept!
boom!
The deputy commander slammed his fist on the table again. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
As early as half a year ago, Wu Ze had asked the New Regiment to form a special force in advance. The special forces in front of him were at the right time and location to destroy the enemy's food, grass and baggage. The New Regiment would have a chance to defeat the enemy without fighting.
This strategic vision is truly unprecedented!
Looking across the country, I’m afraid I can’t find another strategic talent like this!
Finally, the deputy commander spoke: "After Xiao Wu arrives at the logistics, let him stay in the logistics temporarily. The headquarters is not as safe as the logistics."
Once again realizing the power and value of Wu Ze's strategy, the deputy commander changed his mind.
In front of us, the headquarters was established under the eyes of Yoshio Shinozuka.
Once there is any danger, it is not a joke.
"Lao Peng, if there is any deployment at our headquarters later, we will refer to Xiao Wu's suggestions in advance." The chief of general staff immediately echoed the deputy commander-in-chief's opinion.
Such talents are really rare.
The chief of general staff is now wondering whether he will let Wu Ze go undercover if time goes back again. At least he will have to hesitate or even disagree.
"That's natural." The deputy commander nodded and looked at the chief of general staff, "Don't you still need a deputy? This title is reserved for Xiao Wu."
Brigadier Chen on the side was extremely shocked when he heard this.
Brigadier Chen knows better than anyone what this deputy means.
If the chief of general staff is absent, this position is usually filled by a deputy.
This shows how much the deputy commander-in-chief attaches great importance to Wu Ze.
But soon, Brigadier Chen was relieved.
If he were the deputy commander-in-chief, such a valuable talent would definitely be reused like the deputy commander-in-chief.
"Haha, okay, okay." The chief of general staff smiled and nodded. This arrangement couldn't be more suitable.
If he goes to the rear later, he cannot stay at the headquarters to assist the deputy commander-in-chief, and someone will take his position.
"Chief of General Staff, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you were all talking about Xiao Wu just now, so regarding the military plan I just stated to you, you are..." The brigade commander brought the topic back.
"Go ahead and do it. Tell Li Yunlong that he won't come back until he breaks the news!" The deputy commander waved his hand and interrupted the brigade commander.
By then, the 30,000-day puppet army will be wiped out, and the machines and machine tools will be completely worry-free and can be shipped back smoothly.
But since the threat is gone, let Li Yunlong lead a new group of thousands to create some trouble for Yoshio Shinozuka.
The chief of general staff added: "But Lao Chen, you still have to keep an eye on him. The premise is that the machine tools are completely back, and then you can loosen Li Yunlong's reins."
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Chief of General Staff, aren't you afraid that Li Yunlong will really break the truth then?" This is the first time the brigade commander has seen two leaders giving such an order. Letting go of the reins of this kid Li Yunlong will cause trouble. There is going to be chaos in northwest Shanxi!
"You're still watching," the deputy commander said.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there won't be chaos in northwest Shanxi!" the brigade commander saluted, "Then I'll go to the new regiment immediately, and then I'll find Li Yunlong."
"Go ahead and be careful on the road." The deputy commander nodded.
"Yes." The brigade commander saluted and exited.
"Hahahahaha!" Both the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of general staff laughed heartily.
