October 29, 1940, Qijiang County, Qijiang Security Headquarters
"Old Li, you want to attack those local forces first!" Zhao Gang was shocked into a cold sweat at that time. He had also read the information seized from the dyeing workshop, which involved many local powerful people. If Li Yunlong ignored it and took action, , I am afraid that it will drag the temporary 68th Division into a situation where it is besieged on all sides.
"Old Zhao, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry. This time we will only attack those we can fight. Why, you are considered a traitor and you can't fight." Li Yunlong explained to Zhao Gang that he was not a reckless man. Those who can influence one force can only give them a beating at most. However, for those small and medium-sized forces that have been close to the Japanese, they will definitely be uprooted this time. It is good that we must unite all forces, but not everyone can It is worthy of our unity.
"Old Li, isn't the number a bit too big? I looked at the list and there are hundreds of forces on it. Even if it's a hundred, it's not easy to chew, not to mention that they all have armed forces. , and some even have mortars." Ding Wei raised his own question. The temporary 68th Division usually dispatches company and platoon-level troops to suppress bandits. Sometimes there is even only one squad. Such a scale , it’s okay to clean up the small fish and shrimps, but if it is a big force, it will be a bit reluctant.
Not to mention that some forces simply have the support of local garrison. If the delay is too long, the scale of the battle may have to be expanded. Even around the mountain city, there are still many Sichuan Army garrison troops who have lost their serial numbers and are still there. ? To put it bluntly, they are all being raised by someone, and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs does not dare to touch them easily.
"This time, we are no longer making small fuss. We directly use battalion-level units as the main body, select 20-30 targets, and deploy tanks and artillery operations. We will attack steadily, build momentum and prestige, and deter those who collude with the Japanese. People." Li Yunlong explained.
"Okay, Lao Li, you've even learned how to kill chickens to scare monkeys. What about the remaining guys? You can't let them go." Kong Jie was a little unwilling. For the traitors in the enemy-occupied areas, he might have some elements of last resort. Inside, where are these traitors from the rear?
"Old Zhao, the last time Brother Wang contacted the Supreme Court, was it you who contacted those guys?" Li Yunlong turned his attention to Zhao Gang, and he was talking about the time when he offered a reward for Gangmura Neiji.
"Old Li, what do you think?" Zhao Gang probably understood what Li Yunlong wanted to do, but he was not sure. When did this guy have so many twists and turns?
"I don't believe in trials and fines. After we destroyed dozens of families, they won't be afraid!" Li Yunlong said bitterly.
"Old Li, what are you trying to do? Even the fine is given to the government, right?" Ding Wei was puzzled.
"Let's talk, let Lao Zhao go and talk to them, we will provide intelligence and troops, they will be responsible for the trial, and everyone will make money together." Li Yunlong said with a smile.
"Old Li, what you are doing is very dangerous, and you can easily be attacked." Zhao Gang reminded, Li Yunlong, this guy, has been doing it all over again, but he is still the same, and he never forgets to benefit himself.
"What are you afraid of? I'm not benefiting for myself, nor for the army. In the past two months, the legal currency has not depreciated, but the army training is intensive, and the consumption of food, ammunition, military uniforms, and various materials is not small. Hello. Like you, Old Zhao, did you give Brother Wang money for the old military uniforms distributed to the troops at the beginning of the month? "Li Yunlong complained, although this guy didn't take advantage enough, but in his heart he was more reliable than anyone else, and he knew that it would be fine if he just took advantage. Even good friends cannot last forever.
"Okay, but I need to ask my superiors for instructions." Zhao Gang nodded. There is only this little thing. The headquarters settled Wang Yue once after the Battle of Peking, but then owed a lot more. The same is true here in Qijiang. , food, drink, shit, airplanes, artillery, fuel and medicine, they are all big IOUs. The key is that I really have no money to pay them back.
"Okay, hurry up and ask for instructions, and also apply for intelligence support for us. This time we use such a large force and we must not make any mistakes." Li Yunlong nodded and then explained.
"Lao Li, don't worry, I will go to the mountain city to ask for instructions soon."
"Lao Kong, how is the expansion of the wharf in the north of Qijiang River?" Li Yunlong turned his attention to Kong Jie again. Kong Jie was responsible for the expansion of the highway to the north of the county and the wharf along the Yangtze River.
Although Qijiang water transportation has become much more developed than before, in the final analysis, the transportation capacity is still insufficient, the draft is shallow, and the flow speed is slow. It cannot meet the current cargo handling needs of Qijiang. It is foreseeing that a thousand small blast furnaces are about to be launched, and this cannot be completely solved. What's the problem with transportation?
"Basically, it's almost done. We are now reinforcing the dangerous nodes along the way to prevent rockfalls or landslides in the future." Kong Jie replied. He also felt a little bitter. He was a good leader of the main force, but he was screwed up by Lao Li. Not to mention the rear, we have to be responsible for road construction while training troops. Speaking of Qijiang, it is a simple matter to expand the road. There are hundreds of tons of explosives used just to open the mountain.
However, this job is really very challenging. Coordinating the work of tens of thousands of workers involves all aspects and is extremely complicated. However, Kong Jie saw the same meaning here as organizing troops, and he felt that he could do it in the future. Try to be like Li Yunlong and command more troops.
"Hurry up and put it into use. Currently, the shipping pressure in Qijiang is too great, and it is difficult for the Marine Police to manage it. In order to ensure the safety of the northern terminal, we will deploy some of the Marine Police to patrol the northern waters in the future." Li Yunlong's point He nodded, this speed is already very fast, Qijiang River is full of mountains and rivers, if there had not been a caravan road before, I am afraid that it would not be possible to build a road in a few years.
"Old Li, do you want to send the Marine Police to the Yangtze River Basin?" Zhao Gang's heart skipped a beat at that time. Li Yunlong is always doing this kind of thing. To the north of the Qijiang River is the Yangtze River, and to the north of the Yangtze River are mountain cities. If the Marine Police is sent into the Yangtze River, wouldn't that be challenging the bottom line of the Ministry of Military Affairs? I know you have a good relationship with Minister Chen, but there are people on top of Minister Chen.
"It's okay, give it a try. In fact, they should also understand that the howitzer in my hand can hit across the Yangtze River!" Li Yunlong replied nonchalantly. He really didn't want to provoke the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. If there is no control along the Yangtze River, , his control of Qijiang is of little significance. All kinds of personnel and materials can be transported in, especially the Japanese agents, who are simply coming one after another, and they cannot be killed at all.
"Old Li, Old Zhao's worries are justified. You really can't be careless if this is not the case." Ding Wei paused and then spoke.
