The team of the independent regiment set off. Brigadier Chen took Li Yunlong and several others into Yangcun and headed for Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters.
As soon as he arrived at the regiment headquarters, he saw Zhao Gang and two guards packing up the documents and walking out of the room.
"brigadier!"
Zhao Gang saluted quickly.
"Zhao Gang, you look like you are packing documents?"
Brigadier Chen didn't mind that Zhao Gang didn't come out to greet him before.
"yes!"
"Okay. You are very careful in your work. With you by Li Yunlong's side, I feel relieved."
Brigadier Chen patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow.
After entering the room, Brigadier Chen immediately said to everyone:
"Recently, my hometown received intelligence that the little devil is negotiating with Lao Chang.
There may be a major attack brewing against our Eighth Route Army, and the target may even be our hometown.
Coupled with the great victories we have fought one after another in the past six months, I can tell you clearly that our Eighth Route Army has become the top priority target of the Japs, especially our 129th Division.
Therefore, the above prediction predicts that in no more than 2 months, the Japs will mobilize at least a few divisions to encircle, suppress and sweep us away. "
"What? How many divisions?"
Everyone present could not help but be speechless.
Li Yunlong was someone who had gone through several raids. He was very clear about the cruelty of the kidnap raids. He sneered:
"Brigadier, haven't we survived the kidnappings several times? Why don't we still be afraid of them?"
"Well, strategically, we should despise it, but tactically, we should pay attention to it.
Therefore, the boss decided to act in advance, mobilize the little devils through our transfer, disrupt their deployment, and let them reveal their flaws.
Since their important target may be us in southeastern Shanxi, then our main force will be transferred to the west.
Li Yunlong, the mission of your independent regiment this time is to move to northwest Shanxi, establish and expand the local base area, and look for opportunities to attack the Japs. Do you understand? "
"clear!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
“But brigade commander, northwest Shanxi is so big, where exactly is our independent regiment stationed?
Are there other friendly forces around?
How is the enemy situation? "
Li Yunlong asked a question that everyone present was concerned about.
"The target of your independent regiment is near Heyuan County, Ding Wei's new regiment is near Ping'an County, and Kong Jie's new second regiment will be mobilized to the Shou County area.
As for the enemy's situation, the distance is too far and the enemy's situation changes too quickly. I don't know it now. You can only investigate on your own after arriving in northwestern Shanxi.
But your main enemy should be the Little Japanese's 37th Division stationed in Shuiquan.
When the time comes, your three regiments must pay attention to coordinate operations and support each other, so as not to be defeated by the little devils individually.
From now on, it will be very difficult for you to get support from other troops, and you will have to rely on yourself for everything.
Understand? "
Brigadier Chen became a little harsh when he finished speaking.
"clear!"
Li Yunlong agreed honestly.
Yang Yuanshan thought about it and asked quickly:
"Brigade Commander, have all the original troops in northwestern Shanxi been transferred?"
"Yes, in order to mobilize the little devils, all the troops of the 120th Division of our army in northwestern Shanxi marched north and east, and now only local troops are left there.
Therefore, after your regiment is in place, you must immediately take advantage of the Japs' lack of troops to attack their artillery towers and towns as much as possible, and seize guns, ammunition, food and supplies, so as to prevent the Japs from trapping you to death after they come to their senses. "
Brigadier Chen explained.
Next, Brigadier Chen said again:
"This time, my superiors ordered my brigade to move to the Taiyue area, establish the Taiyue Military Region, and consolidate the Taiyue base area. I served as the commander of the Taiyue Military Region.
At that time, it will be very difficult for your three regiments to contact my brigade headquarters. Fortunately, you have seized several radio stations before, so I brought two telegraph operators to you this time. If there are any important matters in the future, be sure to send them via telegraph. Contact, do you understand? "
Originally, Li Yunlong was still elated when he learned that he had arrived in northwest Shanxi with only two regiments, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and no leaders. But now that he heard the telegram, his face suddenly fell.
I couldn't help cursing Yang Yuanshan secretly: It's all your fault. Turn over the radio station. Isn't this a curse on me?
I couldn't help but salivate and said:
"Brigadier Commander, our telegraph operators and radio stations are so valuable, why don't we waste them on our independent regiment. I promise that we will never cause trouble in northwestern Shanxi!"
"Hehe, Li Yunlong, your silly thoughts are quite beautiful!
Don’t want a radio station?
I think you want to be the brigade commander yourself? "
Of course, Brigadier Chen understood Li Yunlong's Xiao Jiujiu and immediately sneered.
When Li Yunlong saw Brigadier Chen's expression, he knew something was wrong and quickly waved his hand:
"No, no, with my little ability, how can I be a brigade commander?"
"I think that's what you have in mind!
Your regiment has more than 2,000 people, plus Ding Wei and Kong Jie. As long as you give them some benefits, they will definitely follow your lead. When the time comes, you will command five or six thousand people, and you will live the life of a brigade commander. ?
I'm afraid you even dare to make up your mind about Shuiquan, right? "
Brigadier Chen's voice was so sinister that the hair on Li Yunlong's body stood up in fear.
The head shook like a rattle.
"Brigadier, I didn't! Absolutely not!"
"Hmph, you better be more honest!
Otherwise, even if I ride hundreds of miles, I will rush to northwest Shanxi and beat you! "
Brigadier Chen gave Li Yunlong a hard beating.
"Yes, yes, I promise to be honest.
The most they can do is to beat up the little devil in the county town, but not Shuiquan! "
Li Yun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
When Brigadier Chen heard that he really wanted to attack the county town, he immediately wanted to whip him with the horse whip on his waist, but he gave up after thinking that Li Yunlong had so many artillery pieces that it seemed that it wouldn't be too much to attack the county town.
Then he called in the two telegraph operators he had brought with him and introduced them to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang:
"I always said that I would equip you with telegraph operators, but now I have brought them to you.
These are He Yunshu and Zhang Tao, who will serve as telegraph operators for your regiment from now on.
Since neither the New First Regiment nor the New Second Regiment have radio stations, the orders I will give them will also need to be conveyed by your radio station. "
"He Yunshu/Zhang Tao has met the regimental leader and political commissar!"
The two saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
Brigadier Chen took out another code book from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Gang:
"Zhao Gang, I have given you this codebook. If there is something confidential, I will send you a twice-encrypted telegram. Then you will be the only one to decrypt the telegram.
I think you know the importance of this thing. Even if you die, this thing must not fall into the hands of the enemy.
In the future, you will learn how to send reports from He Yunshu and Zhang Tao, so that you will be prepared, do you understand? "
Zhao Gang took it with both hands and solemnly nodded in agreement:
"Brigadier, don't worry, Zhao Gang understands!"
He knew very well that the reason why the brigade commander asked him to learn to send reports was probably to keep an eye on Li Yunlong to prevent this kid from messing around behind his superiors' back.
He nodded at the thought of having to quarrel with this stubborn donkey in the future.
After Brigadier Chen finished explaining everything, he immediately took another look at everyone present, and then solemnly said:
"We are going to northwest Shanxi. The mountains are high and the roads are long. You must protect yourselves. I hope I can continue to receive good news from you like before!"
"Yes! Don't worry, Brigadier!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
Only Li Yunlong still had a carefree expression on his face:
"Brigadier, don't worry, the little devil who can kill me, Li Yunlong, hasn't been born yet!"
"Okay! Let's all go!"
Brigadier Chen waved his hand, took the lead, and walked out.
Looking at Brigadier Chen's back, Li Yunlong immediately ordered:
"Let's set off too, the little devils in northwestern Shanxi. Our independent regiment has gone, and their good days are coming to an end!"
