Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Commander Bo, don't worry, drink some water."
The chief of general staff had only been away for half a day, but Bo Zuoyi still couldn't sit still. He asked several times when the chief of general staff would return.
The deputy commander asked someone to pour water for Bo Zuoyi and said: "Commander Bo, it should be soon, very soon."
"How long is soon? Ten minutes or half an hour?" Bo Zuoyi was still on pins and needles.
The three Japanese divisions pounced menacingly, and every minute they waited, the soldiers of the Jinsui Army were bleeding and dying.
"Commander Bo, I can understand your mood." The deputy commander could not give Bo Zuoyi an accurate time.
A few hours later, the chief of general staff rushed back to the headquarters covered in wind and snow.
"I'm sorry, Commander Bo, for keeping you waiting for so long." Seeing Bo Zuoyi's anxiety, the chief of general staff apologized.
"Has the plan been finalized?" Bo Zuoyi asked impatiently. He had already seen hope from the expression of the Chief of General Staff.
"Commander Bo, there are two copies of this plan. Please take a look." The chief of general staff handed Bo Zuoyi both the plan made by Wu Ze and the plan he made with the deputy commander-in-chief.
Bo Zuoyi took the plan and read it carefully and quickly.
Bo Zuoyi first looked at the plan produced by Wu Ze, and the deputy commander also looked over.
"Well, that's right. Xiao Wu's plan is similar to my plan, and even a little stronger." The deputy commander-in-chief looked at it while approving in his heart.
After Bo Zuoyi read the two plans, he was very satisfied with both plans, but he obviously still preferred the plan made by Wu Ze.
"This plan must have been written by an expert from your army." Bo Zuoyi knew he shouldn't ask, but he still couldn't help but pointed at the plan produced by Wu Ze and asked.
Bo Zuoyi was very familiar with the deputy commander-in-chief's commanding style. Although the plan produced by Wu Ze and the deputy commander-in-chief's plan were similar, the details were still very different.
For example, after the Japanese invaders entered the encirclement, the deputy commander-in-chief's plan was to concentrate superior forces and use the geographical location to annihilate them.
Wu Ze's plan was to store water as early as possible and release the water immediately when the Japanese troops entered the low-lying areas of the ambush circle.
Of course, it is winter, and the water source cannot be compared with that in summer. The water that can be stored is limited, and it is impossible to flood the Japanese army.
We don’t expect that this little water can drown the Japanese soldiers, but in such freezing weather, once the Japanese soldiers are soaked with water... let alone the entire body of the Japanese soldiers, it just makes the Japanese soldiers’ shoes and pants soaked. On a cold night, if the Japanese soldiers cannot change into dry pants or dry shoes within a short period of time, their legs and feet will quickly suffer from frostbite. Once such a situation occurs, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers will drop sharply.
As for how to prevent the Japs from drying their shoes and pants in a short period of time, there are also detailed methods in the plan. For example, after the water is released, the troops will immediately attack and force the Japs to fight. In this way, the Japs will not have the opportunity to light a fire to dry their shoes. Pants or a change of clothes.
In short, Wu Ze's plan can reduce the casualties of the Jinsui Army as much as possible and inflict heavy damage on the enemy to the maximum extent.
Such a plan is not the command style of the deputy commander-in-chief, and only the strategic masters of the 18th Army can arrange it.
"Commander Bo, if you think there is no problem with these two plans, time is urgent, so you should hurry up and go back to discuss with Commander Yan." The deputy commander changed the subject. Although Bo Zuoyi guessed that one of the plans was made by Wu Ze, But the deputy commander-in-chief was still unwilling to answer Bo Zuoyi's question.
"Commander Bo, as for how to mislead Yamamoto Kazuki, that is left to us." said the Chief of General Staff. "I know that Commander Yan is suspicious by nature and may not believe us, but he can first let the troops prepare according to the plan. , and then we will see if we can mobilize the Japanese army according to the route in the plan. If the Japanese army does not follow the plan, your Jinsui Army..."
Before the Chief of General Staff finished speaking, Bo Zuoyi interrupted: "The Jinsui Army is now at a critical moment of life and death. The mountain city's deputy director cannot be counted on. Apart from cooperating with your 18th Group Army, there is nothing else." The choice has been made. It’s a shame. Once our Jinsui Army is gone or is driven out of Jin Province, your Eighteenth Group Army will be the next target of the Japanese army’s revenge. I personally absolutely believe in the sincerity of your Eighteenth Group Army, Commander Yan. Over there, I will try my best to convince him."
Since the other party was unwilling to disclose information about their strategic master, Bo Zuoyi decided not to ask any more questions.
"Commander Bo, thank you for your trust in us." said the Chief of General Staff.
"Last time we cooperated, we defeated Takeda Chiju. This time, I believe our cooperation will be successful again." Hiroshi saluted the deputy commander and chief of general staff, said nothing more, and left in a hurry.
"How do you plan to disclose information to Yamamoto Kazuki's traitor?" As soon as Bo Zuoyi left, the deputy commander-in-chief asked the chief of general staff.
"I originally wanted to pretend to sell him an accidental flaw." The chief of general staff smiled, "But now I have a better way."
"What's a better way?" the deputy commander asked.
"Li Yunlong is getting married." said the chief of general staff.
"Li Yunlong is getting married?" The deputy commander heard this and cursed, "This Li Yunlong is really good at getting things done. He was just promoted to the new brigade commander and he is getting married. Doesn't he know that the situation is serious now? Gangcun Cining mobilized three divisions of Japanese soldiers to come to northwestern Shanxi for revenge, and he actually still wants to get married!"
"This is a marriage arranged by Xiao Wu." said the Chief of General Staff.
"Even if it's Xiao Wu, that's outrageous." Although the deputy commander finished his words, when he mentioned Wu Ze, most of his anger was indeed gone.
There is nothing I can do. No matter who I am angry with now, I cannot be angry with Xiao Wu.
"Lao Peng, Li Yunlong is getting married in three days. Before the wedding, he will definitely send invitations everywhere. Even our headquarters will definitely receive his invitations, but we don't have time to go..." The chief of general staff did not finish his words.
The deputy commander's eyes lit up and he took over the words: "So if you let the traitor go to Li Yunlong's wedding on behalf of the headquarters, then the traitor will definitely find a way to get Li Yunlong drunk and learn the news about Wu Ze from Li Yunlong's mouth. Let Li Yunlong take advantage of the opportunity to pull a trick?"
This traitor is a very powerful master. Even if the Chief of General Staff accidentally sells him a loophole, he may not be able to mislead him.
But it would be different if he was asked to attend Li Yunlong's wedding on behalf of the headquarters.
Although the battle of Wangershan goes to Li Yunlong, and the strategic planning goes to Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade, the Japanese department is not stupid at all. They must know that neither Li Yunlong nor Brigadier Chen are the real members of the 18th Group Army. strategic master.
But among them, there are still traces for the strategic masters of the 18th Army.
That is the strategic master of the 18th Group Army. He must have come from Li Yunlong's army. This one definitely did not escape.
Therefore, it can be judged that Li Yunlong is probably aware of the whereabouts of the strategic masters of the 18th Army.
The traitor went to attend Li Yunlong's wedding. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
Li Yunlong is a good drinker, and the traitor took the opportunity to drink Li Yunlong's wine at the wedding. This would not attract attention at all.
The traitor felt that if Li Yunlong was drunk, he would definitely find an opportunity to trick Li Yunlong.
When the time comes, Li Yunlong, who is pretending to be drunk, will use his plan. With this operation, Yamamoto Kazuki's traitor will definitely be fooled, and he will not realize any flaws at all.
"Well, yes." The chief of general staff nodded and said with a smile: "Do you still think that Xiao Wu arranged for Li Yunlong to get married because he had nothing to do?"
"Haha." The deputy commander chuckled, "Maybe Xiao Wu had already thought of this before Gangcun Cining's army came to retaliate. Otherwise, Li Yunlong would have just been promoted to brigade commander when he came back. , Xiao Wu gave him a wife, what a coincidence."
"Then I'll find time to talk to Li Yunlong before he gets married. This most critical part can't be messed up by this kid." said the deputy commander.
"Okay, okay." The deputy commander nodded.
independent brigade
The original independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division made great contributions to the attack on Yangmingpu Airport. The independent regiment was expanded into an independent brigade. The position of the original independent regiment leader Kong Jie also increased, and Kong Jie was appointed as the independent brigade commander.
The independent regiment brigade also broke away from the battle order of the 386th Brigade. Like Li Yunlong's new brigade, it belonged to the battle order of the 129th Division.
However, the situation of the Independent Brigade is different from that of the New First Brigade, mainly due to the problem of soldiers.
The New First Brigade has thousands of elite soldiers from prisoner-of-war camps. When it is expanded into a brigade, the number of soldiers is sufficient. Therefore, the New First Brigade does not need logistics to supply additional soldiers. It can directly organize and train the existing soldiers.
The independent brigade is different. The independent regiment originally had more than 1,500 people. Although it was later increased to 3,000 people, they were only drawn from local troops.
Even if the soldiers transferred from other units did not return to their original units, the independent regiment's 3,000 soldiers would not be enough to form a brigade.
Therefore, this requires logistics to replenish troops.
As a result, Kong Jie, who had just been promoted to independent brigade commander, became a very busy man and had no time to visit and thank Wu Ze.
On this day, Kong Jie was assisting the Third Regiment when someone came over and said, "Brigade Commander, Brigadier Li from the New First Brigade sent someone to send you an invitation."
Invitation?
When Kong Jie heard this, he was a little stunned. What kind of invitation did Li Yunlong send me? He must not be trying to cause trouble again.
At present, Gangcun Cining mobilized the Japanese army from three divisions to retaliate. The headquarters has issued a death order. Without orders from superiors, no one is allowed to attack without authorization, which violates military law.
Therefore, Kong Jie was suspicious that this kid Li Yunlong couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to instigate me, Lao Kong.
Kong Jie never considered whether Li Yunlong could be the opponent of Gangcun Cining's three Jaap divisions. What he would always consider was that there was nothing Li Yunlong wouldn't dare to do.
With suspicion, Kong Jie took the invitation and lowered his head to look at it: The writing is quite good. It is definitely not written by that boy Li Yunlong. Hey, the handwriting looks familiar. It seems to be the notes of our old brigade commander... I God!
After Kong Jie read the content of the invitation, he was very surprised: "Damn it, this guy Li Yunlong is actually going to get married. If he gets married at this juncture, isn't he afraid that the deputy commander-in-chief will directly give him the position of new brigade commander if he gets angry? Fuck it off?"
"Brigadier, do you think this is Brigadier Li joking with you?" The deputy brigade commander came up and asked suspiciously.
"I believe that this guy Li Yunlong has the guts to make such a joke with me, but this note is no joke." Kong Jie pointed to the note on the invitation and said: "This is an invitation written by my old brigade commander."
"Could it be that Brigadier Li imitated the old brigade commander's notes to trick you?" the deputy brigade commander asked again.
"Li Yunlong is the only one who has the ability to imitate the old brigade commander's notes!" Kong Jie immediately glared, almost saying directly that even if Li Yunlong practiced calligraphy for ten years, he would not be able to have this ability.
"Forget it, let me call and ask my old brigade commander." Kong Jie is very busy now and it is difficult to get away.
However, if old comrade Li Yunlong really wants to get married, the invitations have already come, and it would be inappropriate for us not to go... Okay, no nonsense.
The independent regiment was expanded into an independent brigade. This logistics did make up for the soldiers, but there was still a slight shortage of weapons and ammunition.
In the past, although Kong Jie and his team also obtained a lot of weapons and ammunition, it was still not enough.
That boy Li Yunlong's new brigade is very rich, let's go to him to borrow some weapons and ammunition.
I went to congratulate him on his happy wedding. Shouldn't Li Yunlong express his gratitude?
The call was quickly connected, and the voice of Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade came out: "Kong Jie, I'm not kidding you. Comrade Li Yunlong really wants to get married. I wrote the invitation for Li Yunlong."
"Old brigade commander, how can you follow Li Yunlong and make a fuss?" Kong Jie didn't understand. "It's not like you don't know what the situation is now. Gangcun Ci Ningxing's army is retaliating, although the Japanese army has not been hit yet. Our Eighteenth Group Army is in charge, but once the Jinsui Army is dealt with, it will be our turn. The headquarters must be worried about this matter. At this time, Li Yunlong is getting married. Wouldn't this be causing trouble for the deputy commander-in-chief? "
"Kong Jie, Li Yunlong's marriage headquarters has already agreed, otherwise, I wouldn't..." Brigadier Chen didn't finish his words.
Kong Jie was stunned for a while: "Headquarters has agreed. Is it true?"
Under such circumstances, the headquarters can still agree to Li Yunlong's marriage. How is it possible?
The Jinsui Army was badly beaten by the Japanese on the front line, and the 18th Army did not go out to help. That was because they were no match, which is understandable.
But under such circumstances, there are still brigade-level officers getting married within the Eighteenth Army. If word of this spreads, the impact may not be good.
"If the headquarters doesn't agree, I won't write invitations for Li Yunlong." Brigadier Chen said, "Kong Jie, are you going to attend Li Yunlong's wedding?"
"Old comrades are getting married. No matter how busy they are, they have to attend." Kong Jie nodded, remembered something, and asked: "By the way, do you know who Li Yunlong's wife is?"
"I didn't ask what his name was, but it seems to be one of Li Yunlong's men named Yang Dali..." Brigadier Chen didn't finish his words.
Kong Jie was surprised and interrupted: "Is Yang Dali his sister?"
"What's wrong, Kong Jie, do you know Yang Dali's sister?" Brigadier Chen asked suspiciously.
"This Li Yunlong, doesn't he dislike the fact that Yang Dali's girl is old and unattractive, but he actually..." Kong Jie suddenly stopped feeling strange.
Since this is Wu Ze's marriage to Li Yunlong, it is not surprising that the headquarters agreed to it for Wu Ze's sake.
However, Kong Jie didn't understand.
Isn’t that boy Li Yunlong very resistant to this matter?
He even helped Yang Dali arrange this matter.
In the end, his good intentions were not rewarded, and he even got a lot of looks from Li Yunlong.
In the end, as soon as Li Yunlong comes back, he will marry Yang Dali's girl.
Li Yunlong is so impatient... Could it be that Yang Dali's sister is really good-looking?
Kong Jie couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart. In the past, he helped Yang Dali to match up. Although he had some intentions of making fun of Li Yunlong, he still helped to match up sincerely.
But Li Yunlong is not easy to fool. If Yang Dali's sister is really not good-looking, Li Yunlong will definitely not agree to it.
And now, Li Yunlong is going to have a wedding soon, which naturally makes Kong Jie wonder, with Yang Dali's tall and thick appearance, how can his girl really be good-looking?
"You can pull her down." The brigade commander interrupted Kong Jie, "Kong Jie is a brother who was in the same class as Li Yunlong. You know him better than I do. If Yang Dali's girl becomes ugly, Li Yunlong's sister is willing to He is the one who takes advantage and refuses to suffer, so he agreed to this marriage."
"That's true, that's true." Kong Jie nodded, "Then I'll have to see if Yang Dali's girl is really good-looking. She actually makes this guy Li Yunlong so impatient. By the way, Brigadier ,are you going?"
"I'm also very curious about what kind of woman can dazzle a guy like Li Yunlong." Brigadier Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, brigade commander, let's see you then." After Kong Jie finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Brigadier Commander, are you really going to attend Brigadier Li's wedding?" the deputy brigade commander said to Kong Jie, "The construction of the independent brigade is not finished yet. If you want to leave the independent brigade, you have to say hello to the division commander."
In the past, we were only a regiment-level unit. The old brigade commander of the 386 Brigade was not so rigid in controlling his subordinates. As long as we could win the battle and if anything happened, the 386 Brigade Commander would try his best to help us in front of the division or headquarters.
At that time, there was more or less freedom.
It was precisely because of the old brigade commander's behavior that a certain commander surnamed Li often did extraordinary things, and was demoted several times just from his position as regimental commander.
If you put it on top of other officers, they would have been killed several times.
But things are different now. We are a brigade-level unit, and brigade-level officers cannot leave their posts casually.
"I'll just call the division headquarters." Kong Jie picked up the phone and quickly got through to the division headquarters.
The teacher was quite reasonable and agreed directly.
