Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade saw Yang Xiuqin come out of the house, but Lao Zhou did not come out.
"Yang Xiuqin, why don't you take care of Lao Li?" Brigadier Chen asked Yang Xiuqin.
"Old Zhou is helping to take care of her." Yang Xiuqin replied, "Old Li is drunk, and my brother is also drunk. As a bride, I have to see off the guests."
"Yeah." Brigadier Chen nodded and said nothing more.
Brigadier Chen stood up: "I'm going to the toilet."
On his way to the toilet, Brigadier Chen passed by the window of Lao Li's wedding room and stopped. Something was wrong.
As Li Yunlong's former superior, Brigadier Chen also knew Li Yunlong very well.
When this kid Li Yunlong is sleeping, he snores loudly.
You can hear it even through the wall.
But Brigadier Chen didn't hear Li Yunlong's snoring at all. Instead, he heard someone talking.
This is not normal.
Li Yunlong didn't look like... However, Brigadier Chen didn't stay much longer and went to the toilet as if nothing was wrong.
After returning from the toilet, the brigade commander continued to eat, drink, talk and laugh.
Not long after, Lao Zhou came out of the house, and the brigade commander didn't see anything strange.
Maybe the headquarters sent Lao Zhou to have some secret discussions with Li Yunlong, or maybe... In short, Lao Zhou can't be disturbed now.
Everyone had enough to eat and drink, and the guests slowly dispersed.
"This kid Li Yunlong must have been drunk on purpose." Kong Jie breathed alcohol and cursed, "He's drunk, so I can't borrow some weapons and ammunition from him."
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Old Kong, if you borrow weapons and ammunition from Li Yunlong, you might as well borrow them from the Japanese traitors."
"That's right, that's right." Brigadier Chen joked, "This kid Li Yunlong treats every piece of iron he picks up as a gold ingot. Borrowing weapons and ammunition from him is really not as good as trying to find a solution from the Japanese traitors."
"I think so too," Kong Jie said, "But isn't there an order from the headquarters? Without orders from superiors, no one is allowed to leave the mountain. If we don't go out, we can't borrow money from the Japanese and traitors."
"Brigadier Kong, don't worry." Old Zhou smiled and said, "If the Jinsui Army can't do it, our 18th Group Army will get there sooner or later. When the time comes, Brigadier Kong will have a lot of opportunities."
"To be honest, I still hope that the Jinsui Army can do it." Kong Jie said, "If the Jinsui Army gives up, life will be difficult for us in the 18th Group Army."
"Yes, yes." Lao Zhou echoed, "My lips are dead and my teeth are cold."
"My 28th Regiment still has a lot of things to hand over, so I'll leave first." Ding Wei saluted, "We will see you later."
"Old Ding, if you really want to be a commander, don't forget me." Kong Jie said to Ding Wei.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I promise I won't forget you, Lao Kong." Ding Wei nodded, saluted again, and left.
"I'm going back too. Things at the headquarters have been busy lately." Lao Zhou also left quickly.
"Brigadier Commander, what is that?" Kong Jie rubbed his hands and looked at Brigadier Chen, "Li Yunlong is drunk. Our independent brigade is still short of weapons and ammunition. Why don't you give it to me temporarily..."
Before Kong Jie finished speaking, Brigadier Chen's eyes widened: "Kong Jie, Li Yunlong has left my 386th brigade's combat order and is giving me, the old brigade commander, some trouble. You'd better just want to steal it from me." Let’s go?”
"Brigadier, I'm not borrowing, I'm borrowing. I'm not Li Yunlong. I'll pay back what I borrowed." Kong Jie said.
"Have you returned the weapons you borrowed from Li Yunlong's Qiu Village?" Brigadier Chen asked.
"I intercepted Yoshio Shinozuka's supplies to support the Great Bear in Pingu, and indirectly supported Li Yunlong in his battle to eliminate the Great Bear in Pingu. This is how..." Kong Jie did not finish his words.
Brigadier Chen kicked him over: "You are just fucking cheating. You took the loot that should have belonged to Li Yunlong, and you still treated it as something in return! I won't borrow it!"
"Brigadier, my old brigade, it's not like you don't know about the weapons at Qiujiazhuang. Those are that kid Li Yunlong..."
"You don't care what Li Yunlong does. Anyway, the weapons in Qiujiazhuang are actually in your hands, Kong Jie. This is always a fact." Brigadier Chen interrupted Kong Jie, "In the end, you didn't even get a bullet." You haven’t paid Li Yunlong back, and now you still want to trick me into coming here. Kong Jie, let me tell you, if it weren’t for the fact that you were a subordinate in the past, I would have slapped you! Get out of here!”
"Old brigade commander, I'm leaving then." Kong Jie had no choice but to leave.
In fact, Kong Jie did not expect to be able to borrow weapons and ammunition from Brigadier Chen. The 386 Brigade's most capable independent regiment and the New Regiment were gone, which was equivalent to the loss of two of Brigadier Chen's favorites. His 386 Brigade's His combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and he must feel uncomfortable.
At this time, if we borrow something from him, can we borrow it?
To be honest, Kong Jie should also give Brigadier Chen some advice, so as not to waste the old leader's cultivation efforts.
But saying and doing are two different things.
After all, the situation of the Independent Brigade cannot be compared with that of the New First Brigade. Li Yunlong is so rich that he can find any reason to supply weapons and ammunition to the 386 Brigade. For Li Yunlong, this is nothing but a piece of cake.
If you change it to the Independent Brigade, that's really... no way.
After everyone had left, Brigadier Chen walked to Li Yunlong's room.
At this moment, Li Yunlong was snoring loudly.
"Brigadier Chen, Old Li..." Yang Xiuqin followed in, wanting to say something to Brigadier Chen.
"Yang Xiuqin, please go out first." Brigadier Chen said to Yang Xiuqin.
"Okay." Although Yang Xiuqin had doubts in her heart, she still walked out.
Brigadier Chen said to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, stop pretending. Everyone has left. Get up quickly. I have something to tell you."
Li Yunlong was still snoring loudly on the bed.
"Old Zhou has left." Brigadier Chen said.
This time, Li Yunlong's snoring stopped.
"Brigadier, how do you know Lao Zhou?" Li Yunlong woke up and asked in confusion.
"I don't know about Lao Zhou." Brigadier Chen said, "I judge that Lao Zhou and you must have talked about something in secret. Of course, if it is confidential and cannot be known to others, you don't need to tell me. It's just my professional habit. …”
Before Brigadier Chen finished speaking, Li Yunlong said: "Commander, it was the Chief of General Staff who asked me to talk to Lao Zhou about some secrets..."
Before Li Yunlong finished speaking, Brigadier Chen interrupted: "Since it was ordered by the Chief of General Staff, I won't ask anymore."
Brigadier Chen changed the topic: "You don't have to pay me the money I gave you for writing the invitations for the time being. You can transfer them to Kong Jie. I'm lending him Kong Jie's money."
"Did Kong Jie borrow weapons and ammunition from you?" Li Yunlong asked.
"The independent regiment has been expanded into an independent brigade. The soldiers are sufficient, but the weapons and ammunition are not enough. You and Kong Jie have been separated from our 386th brigade, and you are still brothers who share weal and woe on the battlefield. When the independent brigade becomes stronger, your new brigade and I The 386th Brigade also has strong friendly forces to help, and if the iron triangle cooperates well, it is always right." Brigadier Chen said.
In front of us, although the 386th Brigade, the New First Brigade and the Independent Brigade have entered the mountains, they are also configured with the word "pin".
No one can say for sure what will happen on the battlefield. Maybe the three divisions of Gangcun Cining were defeated. Next time, a large army will press the border and directly surround the mountain, and it is not impossible to attack the mountain by force.
At that time, the new brigade, the independent brigade and the 386th brigade could support each other.
"Brigadier, aren't you worried that Kong Er will not pay you back?"
"You don't dare!" Brigadier Chen's eyes narrowed.
"Hahaha." Li Yunlong smiled. Kong Jie dared not to rely on Li Yunlong's account or the brigade commander's account, "Okay."
…
World War II District Governor's Department
Guma
"Don't hang your heads. We can't just waste all the food we use to support you group of staff members."
"You guys are talking. Every minute, soldiers from our Jinsui Army are bleeding and dying!"
"You are all mute. Let me tell you, if you don't think of any strategies today, half of you will go to the battlefield with guns for me. At that time, don't give me any excuses for using a staff officer as a soldier. Staff officers are overqualified and cannot make suggestions. , then you can only be a soldier!"
…
Due to the fierce momentum of the Japanese army and the defeat of the Jinsui Army, the staff of the World War II District Chief's Department were unable to do anything even if they racked their brains.
Lao Yan looked at the silence of the staff and became increasingly angry.
Of course Lao Yan was not confused, nor did he doubt that he had raised a bunch of trash. He knew that the disparity between ourselves and the enemy was too great. It is simply unrealistic for the staff to come up with a way for the weak to defeat the strong.
If the staff could really do this, Lao Yan would not have lost Taiyuan when the Japanese invaded Jin Province.
It was just the severe battlefield situation that made the fire under Lao Yan's butt burn hotter and stronger, and his reason was gradually replaced by anger.
"Sir Yan, Commander Bo is back." Someone hurried over to report to Lao Yan.
Upon hearing that Commander Bo was back, all the staff members raised their heads in unison, with anticipation in their eyes.
As the staff of the Jinsui Army, they cannot solve the problems of the Jinsui Army. They are sorry for the military uniforms they wear. Although objectively speaking, the disparity between ourselves and the enemy is too great.
But this does not stop them from expecting miracles to happen.
Although Commander Yan's words are very reasonable, the Eighteenth Group Army will not understand the meaning of lip-destroying teeth.
Once the Jinsui Army is defeated, it will be their turn for the Eighteenth Group Army.
Therefore, the Eighteenth Group Army is determined not to sit idly by and ignore the current predicament of the Jinsui Army.
But now, the Eighteenth Group Army has not taken the initiative to send anyone to contact them. I am afraid that regarding the predicament of the Jinsui Army, the Eighteenth Group Army also...
Of course, people in desperate situations will always expect a miracle to happen, even if the miracle is very unrealistic.
There was also expectation in Lao Yan's eyes, and he looked towards the door.
If Bo Zuoyi returns empty-handed, then Lao Yan may really...become a lost dog.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army can fight against the Japanese, they can gain the honorable title of a heroic army, but it makes no sense to sacrifice the strength of the Jinsui Army in vain.
Boyi's figure soon appeared at the door, with a calm and unhurried expression on his face, without any sign of disappointment. There was even something in Bo Zuoyi's hand, which was most likely a battle plan.
When the staff officers saw this, hope suddenly rose in their hearts: Commander Bo did not return empty-handed!
Lao Yan was also pleasantly surprised. Bo Zuoyi still didn't come to him, so he walked over quickly: "Commander Bo, what's up? Isn't the Eighteenth Group Army already prepared?"
"Sir Yan, at last your trip was not in vain." Bo Zuoyi saluted Lao Yan and handed the two plans to Lao Yan, "You take a look first..."
Before Bo Zuoyi finished speaking, Lao Yan had already grabbed the plan and quickly spread it out for a look.
The room was full of staff officers, and many of them craned their necks to come over.
"Commander Bo, this trap is well made, but how can we lure the Japanese army into the trap?" A staff officer quickly understood the essence of the two plans, but the most important thing is to attract the Japanese army into the trap first. It’s just a trap, this is the most important part.
Bo Zuoyi replied: "The Eighteenth Army will lead the Japanese army into a trap."
"How?" asked the staff officer.
Bo Zuoyi didn't answer anymore, but looked at Lao Yan.
After reading the two combat plans, Lao Yan introduced the plan made by Wu Ze: "Our army can proceed according to this plan, and the other plan should be used as a backup."
"Sir Yan, Commander Bo said that the 18th Group Army will be used to lure the Japanese army towards the trap, but Commander Bo has not yet said how to implement it?"
"Sir Yan, some troops of the Eighteenth Group Army are suspected of robbing the machine tools of our Hecun Arsenal. They have not admitted it and are still arguing with us. Can the Eighteenth Group Army be trusted at this time?"
"Yes, Commander Yan, if the 18th Group Army cannot lead the Japanese army to a trap, we may not be able to escape unscathed if we withdraw by then. I don't know how many soldiers will fall in vain at the hands of the Japanese butcher's knives. under."
…
The staff reminded Lao Yan.
"Except Commander Bo, all of you should go out." Lao Yan didn't say much, but waved his hand and asked all the staff to go out.
Staff officers, look at me and I look at you. They all left according to my words.
"Commander Bo, tell me, how can the 18th Army help lead the Japanese army to a trap?" Lao Yan asked Bo Zuoyi.
Bo Zuoyi did not tell the matter directly in front of the staff. I am afraid this is not an ordinary way.
Originally, the staff officers were dissatisfied that the Eighteenth Group Army might have robbed weapons from the Hecun Arsenal. This was not an ordinary way to speak out, and it would probably deepen the conflict between the two sides.
At present, the Japanese army is pressing down on the border. The Jinsui Army and the 18th Group Army can only support each other and cannot be divided and jealous.
"It's like this. The Eighteenth Group Army has undercover agents in Taiyuan. Their undercover agents brought back important information. Yoshio Shinozuka formed a special force. Yoshio Shinozuka loved it very much. This special force was in the World War II zone... ..." Bo Zuoyi explained everything to Lao Yan in detail.
Lao Yan listened very carefully, and after Hiroshi finished speaking, Lao Yan said directly: "Awesome, the strategic masters of the 18th Group Army are really amazing, they were able to get such confidential information from Yoshio Shinozuka! "
"Sir Yan, do you think the strategic master of the 18th Group Army is undercover in Taiyuan?" Bo Zuoyi was surprised, but he did not expect this.
However, then I thought again, how could ordinary people be able to find out such confidential information.
I am afraid that except for the master of the 18th Group Army, it is really difficult for others to obtain such information.
This is also a risky move by the 18th Army. If such an important strategic talent is lost, wouldn’t it be...
"It's a pity that such talents cannot be used by our Jinsui Army!" Lao Yan slammed his fist on the table.
"Sir Yan, although such talents cannot be directly used by our Jinsui Army, they are now helping our Jinsui Army fight the war." Bo Zuoyi comforted.
"Alas." Lao Yan still sighed, and then said to Bo Zuoyi, "Call all the staff officers in. We will deploy according to the plan provided by the 18th Group Army."
Bo Zuoyi looked at Lao Yan: "Sir Yan, can I understand that you trust the 18th Army?"
"This is not a question of trust or distrust, but I believe that the 18th Army will not understand the problem of losing teeth." Lao Yan said, "If they play a trick this time, our Jinsui Army will be gone, and his 18th Army will be gone." The group army was completely surrounded by the Japanese army in the mountains, and they were also facing a dead end."
"Sir Yan is wise."
The staff members all came in quickly, and Lao Yan immediately began to discuss based on the plan provided by Wu Ze.
Although some of the staff members raised objections, they were directly suppressed by Lao Yan.
"Everyone, I have one principle. Any orders I give must be carried out without hesitation!" Lao Yan's expression was extremely solemn. "Whoever neglects military aircraft or is suspicious of friendly forces will be subject to military law!"
"yes."
Lao Yan quickly finalized the military operation, but he still had some thoughts.
He deliberately left a few staff officers behind and told him: "Immediately go to the corresponding place to prepare for me to see if there are any traces of the Japanese elite troops. You all listen carefully, this is not an ordinary Japanese soldier. Be vigilant and fight." Your quality is extraordinary, please don’t scare me off.”
Lao Yan was suspicious. This time it was not a matter of trusting or distrusting the 18th Army, but a matter of having no choice.
If there are no traces of the elite Japanese troops in the corresponding place, then Lao Yan will definitely run away halfway.
On the other hand, if the Japs really have an elite small force operating, then I didn’t say anything, just mess with them!
"Yes." Several staff members responded.
