Independent regiment.
As soon as Zhao Gang saw the brigade commander's telegram, he immediately became angry and said to Li Yunlong:
"Captain, didn't Battalion Commander Yang just apply to help the new regiment fight for reinforcements?
Why did it turn into a direct attack on Shuiquan City?
This is unorganized and undisciplined!
If it causes heavy casualties to the troops, can he bear the responsibility?
It's too much and needs severe criticism! "
Li Yunlong smiled and said:
"Old Zhao, don't worry. Maybe this is just Yang Yuanshan's plan to attack Shuiquan City from the east to the west. On the surface, he is attacking Shuiquan City, but in fact it is just to capture the Shuiquan Coal Mine."
"Lao Li, are you still speaking for this kid?"
Zhao Gang looked like a fool.
Li Yunlong didn't understand what he meant and said confidently:
"Yang Yuanshan is not a fool. He definitely won't think that his small force can quickly capture Shuiquan City, which has strong walls and complete fortifications. Don't worry."
Zhao Gang saw that Li Yunlong still didn't understand what he meant, so he had to explain to him:
"Old Li, what I mean is that this guy has made such a big deal, and everyone at the headquarters must know about it now. As his leader, you will inevitably be punished if you turn around. Even asking you to write an inspection is a frivolous thing. "
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong suddenly remembered the pain of being subjected to inspections a few days ago, and he jumped three feet high:
"What?
Punish me?
Why?
I didn't ask him to fetch water from the spring! "
"The secret service battalion is part of our independent regiment. If they cause trouble, shouldn't you, the regiment leader, be responsible?"
Zhao Gang felt a little secretly happy in his heart, and thought to himself: Old Li, Old Li, in the past, you allowed Yang Yuanshan to do evil things, are you implicated this time?
Let’s see if you are still honest in the future.
"What?
This won't work. I have to explain to the brigade commander that I didn't let him, Yang Yuanshan, go fetch water from the spring.
I just approved him to help Ding Wei. If the leader wants to punish him, he should be punished. What does it have to do with me? "
Li Yunlong jumped anxiously.
I was immediately ready to rush to the telecommunications room.
However, as soon as he went out, he came back again.
Zhao Gang asked puzzledly:
"Lao Li, why are you back again?"
"I was almost confused by you, Lao Zhao.
If I don't help Yang Yuanshan this time, this bitch will definitely apply for transfer to the new regiment!
How does this work?
Can I take advantage of Ding Wei's stupidity? "
Li Yunlong had an expression on his face that said, "Don't try to take Yang Yuanshan away from me."
"So you're ready?"
Zhao Gang was very curious.
"Hmph, I accept the brigade commander's punishment.
But when Yang Yuanshan comes back, I have to take some guns and ammunition from him as reward! "
Li Yunlong looked like he was ready to "open his mouth".
Seeing his appearance, Zhao Gang couldn't help being speechless, shook his head and said:
"Good guy, Lao Li, you are so good, you actually treat the punishment as part-time work?"
"Hehe, I, Old Li, have been doing part-time labor for landlords since I was a child, so I'm used to it!
As long as you give me wages, I won't mind it! "
…
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Gang arranged for the telegraph operator to report Yang Yuanshan's previous request for help with the New Regiment's reinforcements to the brigade headquarters.
When the brigade commander saw it, he suddenly understood and arranged for someone to report the cause and effect of the incident to the headquarters.
When the leaders at the headquarters saw it, they couldn't help but be very surprised and thought: This time it was not Li Yunlong who caused trouble, but Ding Wei.
However, they couldn't help but sigh again when they saw the telegram saying that Ding Wei decided to attack Shuiquan Coal Mine in order to solve the problem of food and cotton clothes.
This winter in Jin is extremely cold.
How could they not know the difficulties of various troops?
They, the leaders, were all wearing their own old cotton-padded clothes with patches piled on top of each other, and they were shivering from the cold.
The deputy general learned that Ding Wei had asked the brigade headquarters for instructions, and immediately did not criticize him. He only ordered Brigadier Chen to send a report to the independent group, asking them to report back in time the follow-up situation.
At the same time, someone sent a report to Yan Laoji, explaining that our army's attack on Shuiquan this time had no strategic purpose, but simply wanted to obtain food and cotton clothes for the winter.
He also complained to the other party, telling the troops that they had difficulty in food and clothing and surviving the winter, and pressed for the arrears of military pay in the World War II zone.
As for the establishment of the North Shanxi Military Region reported by Brigadier Chen, he did not immediately agree, but said that he should consider it first.
…
After Yan Laoji received our telegram, he couldn't help but sigh:
"The Eighth Route Army is short of food and clothing, but they dare to attack the little devils. We have more than 100,000 Jinsui troops, but we don't even dare to attack a county town. It is really shameful!"
He didn't respond at all to the request for military pay in the telegram. Ever since our army launched the big destructive attack, Lao Chang in the southwest was deeply shaken and immediately sent a secret message ordering the commanders of each theater not to give me any more money. An ocean of military pay!
Therefore, in the past few months, Yan Laojie has repeatedly ignored telegrams from our army urging for military pay.
Yang Xingru couldn't help but smile after hearing what he said, and stepped forward to join in the fun:
"Sir Yan, our Jinsui Army also has leaders who dare to fight.
Recently, Chu Yunfei sent me a report saying that they had broken through several Jaap strongholds and killed dozens of Japs and hundreds of Japs. They also gave me some little devil sabers. "
"Really? Not bad, not bad.
It was finally worth it that the old man gave him so many weapons and equipment!
It’s great for you Wutai elders!
Inform our newspapers to publicize it well!
Let the common people know that our Jinsui Army is still resolutely fighting against the Japs and has not flinched and run away! "
Yan Laoji was very happy.
"Yes, our Wutai has outstanding people!
However, Commander Yan, Chu Yunfei said that although their victory was not small, they also suffered some losses. I need to add that, do you think you can give them 1,000 official calls? "
Yang Xingru is also from Wutai, so he can play Wutai without any psychological pressure.
He also conveniently told what Chu Yunfei asked him to do.
Seeing that the other party wanted equipment again, Yan Laoji suddenly frowned.
He didn't want to give it, but when he thought that the other party was his descendant from Wutai, he nodded and said:
"Xingru, after we lost the Jinyang Arsenal, we will not have enough weapons and equipment.
Since Chu Yunfei is Lao Chang's favorite disciple, he should also be allowed to complain to Lao Chang.
From here, give him 500 guns, and let Lao Chang do the rest! "
When Yang Xingru heard the words, he couldn't help being speechless and thought to himself: Sir Yan, sir Yan, your abacus is really loud. You have to use this kind of balancing method for a small matter of 500 guns. It really can't change the way we Jin people are used to doing business. His nature!
…
Yang Xingru got 500 guns from Yan Laojie, and immediately sent a report to Chu Yunfei, synchronizing with him that the independent regiment was attacking Shuiquan.
The purpose is of course to give him a little beating so that he will not fool Yan Laoji with a few broken turrets next time. At least, we have to attack a town or even a county seat.
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw the telegram saying that only 500 of them were official, and he asked Lao Chang to ask for the remaining 500. The other party complained:
"Brother Ligong, our Commander Yan is so stingy!
500 guns are all against me! "
Although Yang Xingru's telegram said that the equipment in the World War II zone was no longer sufficient, so he could only be given 500, he didn't have to think twice to know that Yan Laozhi would not give it.
After all, Yang Xingru treats him as his nephew, so it's impossible that he doesn't want to give it.
If Yan Laoji hears this, he will definitely jump up to three feet high and curse angrily: Didn’t you guys lose the Jinyang Arsenal to old man Er?
As long as you fight harder and help save Jinyang, let alone 500 guns, what does 5,000 mean?
Fang Ligong didn't dare to complain about Yan Laoxi, so he quickly smiled awkwardly and replied:
"For the regiment, 500 is enough. These days, we have also seized some 38 rifles and 65 rifles, so we can make up for it."
"Well, that's the only way. Commander Yang said that Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment was fetching water springs. What do you think?"
"Tanzu, I really can't figure out why they are so stupid.
It was clear that Heyuan County was still facing them, so why didn't they prioritize attacking Heyuan County, but instead attack Shuiquan where the Japs had more troops? "
Fang Ligong looked suspicious of life.
"Huh, this is the independent group.
The art of war says, "Surprise the enemy and attack him unprepared." I think Li Yunlong's move may have really hit the enemy's vitals.
Nowadays, the southern Shanxi area is covered with war clouds. It is said that the Japs have mobilized five or six divisions to go there. I guess Shuiquan City should be extremely empty now. I don't know, Li Yunlong can really take down Shuiquan in one fell swoop! "
Chu Yunfei was both impressed and unhappy.
The scene where Yang Yuanshan bullied him was like a scar that would never heal, making it difficult for him to let go.
"What? Take the water spring?
This is impossible, right?
If the little devil loses the water spring, the situation in northwest Shanxi will immediately deteriorate. Heyuan County, Ping'an County, Shouxian County, Yang County and other counties will all become isolated armies and will be defeated by the Eighth Route Army. The situation has changed dramatically!
Even we have to avoid the edge for a while! "
Thinking of the terrible consequences, Fang Ligong suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up.
“So Brother Ligong, we must break the situation immediately.
In this way, you immediately arrange for people to reconnoiter to the west, and we are ready to move westward.
If the Independent Regiment really captures Shuiquan, then Xipan Town will become a dead place, and our 358th Regiment will be completely unable to develop if we continue to stay. "
"Yes, I will send someone immediately."
…
South Shanxi.
At the headquarters of the Little Japanese's 37th Division, the division chief of staff, Jing Heng Jingzhi, received a telegram from the telegraph operator and learned that Shuiquan City had been attacked. He was immediately horrified.
He quickly ran to find the division commander, Lieutenant General Hirata Kento.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, something happened!
Shuiquan was attacked by the 386th Brigade of Tubal Road, and the current situation is critical! "
"Nani? Brigade 386?
Didn't the Special High School say that the main force of the 386 brigade is in the Taiyue area? "
Hirata Kento was shocked.
Of course he knew how powerful the 386th Brigade was.
But what he couldn't figure out was why he could fly to northwest Shanxi to attack Shuiquan City today when the intelligence collected by the Special High School Course synchronized with General Okamura a few days ago also showed that the main force of the 386 Brigade was developing in the Taiyue area.
Iyoko Keishi quickly explained:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the numbers exposed by the enemy this time are the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment, as well as an artillery regiment with an unknown number, and two other main force regiments whose numbers have not been revealed, a total of 5 regiments. This must be the 386th brigade coming out in full force!
Maybe the 386 Brigade operating in the Taiyue area in the special high school information is just a cover!
The purpose is to let us relax our defense of strategically important areas in the rear and expose our flaws! "
Iyoko Keishi was very smart.
"BaGeYaLu! What a vicious TuBalu!"
Taketo Hirata roared.
He immediately ordered:
“Immediately call back Takeshi Zhenmu and ask the 225th Regiment to hold on to Shuiquan at all costs.
I will ask General Okamura for aviation support! "
"Hi!"
