News of the Independent Regiment's victory over Heyuan County quickly spread to all aspects.
Our army, from the headquarters to the division and brigade headquarters, all praise the Independent Regiment.
However, Yan Laoji and Xinan Laochang were not happy.
Especially Yan Laoji, he couldn't help but complain to Yang Xingru and others:
"This Li Yunlong really doesn't stop, he actually went to northwestern Shanxi and captured Heyuan County!
The old man really wants to know if this kid has three heads and six arms. Otherwise, why can't the little devil do anything to him? "
Yang Xingru quickly comforted him:
"Sir Yan, this kid just took advantage of the little devil not paying attention to him, so he can make great achievements repeatedly. I'm afraid after this time, the little devil will send more troops to encircle and suppress his independent regiment.
Now that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army have withdrawn from northwest Shanxi, this independent regiment hangs alone in northwest Shanxi and may be wiped out in a matter of seconds.
After all, no matter how good he is at fighting, if he is surrounded and suppressed by more than one regiment of Japs, he will definitely not be able to escape! "
"Really? That will make the old man feel relieved.
Although northwest Shanxi is slightly barren, its location is extremely important. It can cut off Tongpu Road and Zhengtai Road at any time, and can also threaten Jinyang City.
Xingru, didn't you arrange for Chu Yunfei to also go to northwest Shanxi? You have to ask him to keep an eye on this area for me.
Once the situation changes, he will have to play a role! "
Yang Xingru understood what Yan Laojie meant by "the situation has changed" and nodded immediately.
These days, they have all noticed that the little devil seems to be a little weak?
Otherwise, the independent regiment could not have wiped out several infantry brigades one after another.
According to this loss rate, in another year and a half, the few divisions of the little devils in this land of Sanjin will no longer be able to control the situation!
…
In addition to Yan Laoji, in a village in the countryside of Shouxian County, which is very close to Heyuan County, Kong Jie's New Second Regiment also received news from local comrades that Heyuan County had been captured by the Eighth Route Army.
Kong Jie was immediately shocked by the news.
I couldn't help but mutter to political commissar Dou Guangjie:
"Li Yunlong is such a bastard. He has really strong troops and horses. He was able to capture Heyuan County. I'm really envious!"
"Captain, how do you know it was done by the Independent Group?"
Dou Guangjie was very curious.
Local comrades only got the news from the villagers who helped move the loot, and they did not know exactly which army captured Heyuan County.
But now Kong Jie insists that Li Yunlong did it. How can this not make Dou Guangjie confused?
"Hmph, besides him, Li Yunlong, who else is so crazy?
Think about it, among our Eighth Route Army troops, who is as bold as he is?
And it just so happened that their superiors sent their independent group to the vicinity of Heyuan County. "
Kong Jie had an expression on his face that said, "I know this shit best."
“But the Independent Regiment alone may not have the strength to capture Heyuan County, right?
There are four to five hundred little Japs in Shouxian County where we are, so Heyuan County must not have fewer than this, right?
Look, I can't tell which brigade-level unit took over the county seat!
For example, the troops of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to win it in just a few hours? "
Dou Guangjie still didn't believe it.
After the New Second Regiment arrived near Shouxian County, he and Kong Jie naturally considered the idea of attacking Shouxian County, but after some consideration, they gave up and did not dare to actually take action.
Both of them agreed that even if they did not consider the little Japanese reinforcements, if they wanted to capture the county alone, they would have to have three to four thousand elite troops.
After all, the enemy built bunkers and set up heavy machine guns around the county town.
In the absence of direct artillery, these firepower points can only be killed by soldiers charging with explosive packets.
You don't need to think about it to know how many brave warriors have to sacrifice.
The New Second Regiment currently has less than a thousand people and does not have the strength at all.
"Brigade troops?
If it were a brigade-level unit, the movement would definitely be much louder than this.
I still firmly believe that this must be Li Yunlong taking advantage of the little devil's attention and taking over the county seat in a sneak attack.
Old Dou, don’t forget, that bitch Li Yunlong has 20 cannons! "
Kong Jie looked determined. Thinking of the 20 cannons in Li Yunlong's mouth, his mouth watered in his heart.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Damn old Li, you are too fat!
When Dou Guangjie heard this, he was immediately speechless.
You really can’t treat the Independent Regiment as an ordinary regiment. It’s okay to treat it as an under-staffed brigade. And even among the other brigades in our army, none of them has an artillery battalion with 20 guns!
"No, I have to send someone to find the whereabouts of this bitch Li Yunlong."
Kong Jie suddenly slapped the table, startling Dou Guangjie, who was deep in thought.
"Old Kong, what are you doing with Captain Li?"
"The two Type 92 infantry cannons that we worked so hard to move here can't be repaired. Li Yunlong's attack on Heyuan County must be very fat. I have to go fight Qiu Feng and let him support me. Two guns.
With the cannon, it will be much easier for us to deal with the Japs' turrets and strongholds! "
Kong Jie explained.
"Would Commander Li be willing to do this?
Two infantry cannons, not dozens of guns!
Aren't you always telling me that Captain Li is stingy, stingy, stubborn, and never plucks a dime? "
As Dou Guangjie talked, he couldn't help but look at Kong Jie with a strange look, and thought to himself: It seems that you, old Kong, are no better than others?
You arranged for people to carry those two broken infantry cannons for hundreds of miles, but it made the soldiers miserable.
"Hehe, Li Yunlong and I are old comrades in arms.
As long as I find out their whereabouts, I will go find him personally. Even if I kneel down, I will get two cannons back.
Damn it, these days without guns are so sad! "
Kong Jie looked determined.
Seeing what he said, Dou Guangjie couldn't say anything.
What if an old comrade-in-arms has a good relationship and is casually shot?
So that day, Kong Jie sent a platoon of scouts towards Heyuan County.
…
A few days later, the scouts of the New Second Regiment found out that the independent regiment headquarters was stationed in Lujia Village.
He immediately rushed back to report to Kong Jie.
As soon as Kong Jie heard about the whereabouts of the Independent Regiment, he immediately handed over the affairs of the regiment to political commissar Dou Guangjie, and he immediately led a security squad to Lujiacun.
His new second regiment did not have a radio station, and did not know that the entire army was now in a critical period of attacking the traffic arteries of the Japs.
Moreover, considering that his new second regiment had just been formed not long ago, the brigade commander did not specifically order them to take the initiative.
That's why he had this time to leave his team to find Li Yunlong.
The current location of the New Second Regiment was not far from Lujia Village. It was a total of fifty or sixty miles away. Kong Jie worked hard and arrived there in a few hours.
However, when he arrived at the entrance of Lujia Village, he saw that there was no large group of people stationed in the village.
After asking a fellow villager, I found out that people from the independent group have been evacuating these days, and yesterday the last group of people also evacuated.
At this moment, Kong Jie's face suddenly became very ugly.
The guard squad leader couldn't help but ask:
"Captain, what should we do now?"
Kong Jie thought about it, it would be a pity to go back in such a dejected manner after he came here, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said:
"Chase! According to what the fellow villagers said, the people in the Independent Regiment carry a lot of baggage and they will definitely not be able to move as fast as us!"
He was nicknamed "Kong Er Lunzi" by Li Yunlong, but he was really a bit stubborn and refused to give up easily.
After making a decision, the group of them immediately followed the path pointed out by the fellow villagers and chased north.
Along the way, he carefully observed the traces left by the march of large troops on the road, and finally caught up with the independent regiment in the direction of Heishiyao.
However, when he told the independent regiment soldiers in charge of security about his identity, it was not his old comrade Li Yunlong who came to greet him.
And surprisingly it was Yang Yuanshan, the commander of the independent regiment's special agent battalion!
It turned out that what they were chasing was not Li Yunlong's regiment, but the secret service battalion marching towards Qixia Town!
Due to the heavy baggage and the need to find a place to accommodate the more than 300 seriously injured soldiers, the secret service camp marched slowly and failed to achieve Yang Yuanshan's goal of reaching Qixia Town within three days.
