After completing the detailed combat plan and emergency plan, Li Yunlong took another day of rest at the headquarters.
Then he contacted Boss Chen, who arranged for a transport plane and four Saber fighter jets to pick up Li Yunlong from Yangcun Airport back to northwest Shanxi.
After the flight formation took off from Yangcun Airport, it took about an hour to fly back to Dagu Town Airport in northwestern Shanxi.
Around the airport, intensive anti-aircraft firepower is deployed.
On a mountain not far from the airport, a large project is under construction in full swing. It is the ammunition depot and oil depot of Dagu Town Airport.
Zhang Wanhe, the logistics director of the New Regiment, is supervising there.
After getting off the plane, Li Yunlong took a telescope and looked towards the ammunition depot and oil depot.
Then they called Wang Dehou, Huang Erhu and others to jump into the jeep.
Under the cover of the guard battalion, they drove towards Zhaojiayu.
More than half an hour later, Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters. At this time, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were busy inside the regiment headquarters.
"Lao Li, Chief of Staff, are you back from headquarters?"
Seeing Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou walking in hand in hand, Zhao Gang said hurriedly:
"What did the head of the headquarters say?"
It took Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou four days to arrive in southeastern Shanxi, although Zhao Gang had already guessed that the headquarters had agreed to Li Yunlong's battle plan.
But when he saw Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou, Zhao Gang couldn't help but ask.
This battle involved too many troops, and the weapons, ammunition, and food used were not a small amount, and were no less than the scale of a hundred-regiment battle.
Moreover, this battle was just a small test for the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army would have larger battles to fight later.
"The head of the headquarters has agreed." Li Yunlong said confidently, "We will launch an attack in ten days!"
The Eighth Route Army is currently launching a major offensive against the Japanese army, but unlike the Japanese army, it has to mobilize combat supplies and troops from the mainland.
It took a lot of time for the Japanese army to mobilize combat supplies and troops.
Over the past year or so, the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi has built high walls and accumulated grain, and has accumulated considerable reserves of combat supplies.
As long as dry food and ammunition are distributed to the soldiers, the Eighth Route Army can enter a state of combat readiness at any time, whether it is defense or offense.
For more than a year, although the main force of the 129th Division has not fought any particularly big battles, it has continued to fight small battles. It went north several times, twice to reinforce the troops in northwest Shanxi, and once to attack the Zhengtai Railway.
We fought three times with the main force of the First Army, and gained the upper hand three times.
This was unimaginable to the Eighth Route Army in the past. In the past, as long as the Japanese army concentrated more than one regiment of troops for mopping up, the Eighth Route Army would not dare to engage in a head-on confrontation easily.
Because the Eighth Route Army had little capital in the past, its weapons were not as good as those of the Japanese army, and its ammunition was even more pitiful.
But now the main force of the 129th Division has more sophisticated weapons than the Japanese army, the amount of ammunition is no less than that of the Japanese army, and the artillery firepower far exceeds the Japanese army.
"Very good!"
When Zhao Gang heard this, he couldn't help but look slightly happy.
Although he had already guessed this result in his heart, Zhao Gang's heart dropped when he heard Li Yunlong's confirmation.
Zhao Gang also had to admit that this time Li Yunlong's battle plan really had something to it.
"Finally we can have a big fight!"
Deputy Captain Xing waved his fist fiercely with an excited expression, and then asked:
"Captain, does the headquarters agree to that condition?"
Li Yunlong poured himself a bowl of water, took a sip, and asked, "Which condition?"
Deputy Commander Xing smiled and said: "Captain, you are asking questions knowingly. Of course, it is a condition for commanding the main force of our more than 200,000 Eighth Route Army to attack the Japanese army."
"Agreed." Chief of Staff Wang Dehou said with a smile, "In this battle, our regiment commander is the commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief personally serves as our regiment commander's chief of staff, and the deputy chief of staff and division commander serve as our regiment commander's deputy general staff officers. "
"Really agree?"
Xing Zhiguo was so shocked that his eyes almost dropped.
"How can it be false?"
Wang Dehou smiled slightly and patted the folder in his hand:
"After three days of busy work, the head of the headquarters, chief of staff and division commander, as well as the operational staff of the headquarters, together with the regimental commander and me, have made a detailed operational plan and contingency plan for this attack."
"Now we're just waiting for the day to start."
"Has the battle plan been made?" Zhao Gang's eyes lit up slightly, "Old Li, can I see this battle plan?"
Li Yunlong nodded: "Yes, Deputy Commander Xing can also watch."
Zhao Gang and Deputy Commander Xing are absolutely reliable, and of course they can read this battle plan.
In fact, the big battle policy was the battle plan proposed by Li Yunlong before to attack the north and attack the south.
The main force of the New Regiment and the main force of the 129th Division attacked the 37th Division and the 33rd Division from the north and south.
Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo both know this big combat policy.
This combat plan was made in accordance with this policy. On this basis, detailed combat plans and emergency plans were formulated.
"The heads of the headquarters are still awesome."
After reading this battle plan, Zhao Gang couldn't help but sigh.
More than 200,000 main troops were mobilized, and the combat plans and emergency plans were actually made in such detail. There were five emergency plans alone.
Of course, in order to achieve victory in combat, in addition to perfect combat plans and contingency plans.
We also have to see the commander's ability to improvise and the soldiers fighting bloody battles.
After all, troops are unpredictable and water is unpredictable. Unexpected things may happen on the battlefield at any time. This requires the commander to have the ability to seize opportunities sensitively, which depends on the commander's talent.
In addition, if you command a force that has no fighting will, it will collapse in a battle.
Even the most talented commander cannot win a battle.
In this battle, the Eighth Route Army clearly had these three victory conditions: a perfect battle plan, excellent commanders, and first-class soldiers.
Captain Li crossed his legs with a proud expression, which made Zhao Gang want to go up and slap this bitch.
This guy is so arrogant.
Li Yunlong: "Chief of Staff."
Wang Dehou: "Yes!"
Li Yunlong ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, asking Commander Ding and Commander Kong to come to Zhaojiayu for a meeting. Tell them that there is meat to eat, and ask them to come as soon as possible. Don't wait if they are late!"
"yes!"
Wang Dehou responded, and then immediately began to draft a telegram and asked the telegraph soldiers to send it to the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.
After receiving the telegram, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, like sharks smelling blood, rushed to the new group in a jeep.
After sending telegrams to the Independent Group and the New Second Group, Li Yunlong took out his radio and called Boss Chen.
Chen Feng took Yan Shuangying and soon arrived at Zhaojiayu Village.
Likewise, Boss Chen received the highest standard of reception from Xinyi Tuan.
During the banquet.
Li Yunlong discussed some details with Boss Chen about transporting helmets and battlefield airdrop supplies.
According to the combat plan formulated by the headquarters, the main force of the 129th Division, including the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, was now under the command of Li Yunlong.
Therefore, more than 150,000 helmets will be delivered before the war.
Although the main force in southeastern Shanxi now exceeds 200,000, and the command of these more than 200,000 main force is given to Li Yunlong, the Eighth Route Army will receive more than 200,000 helmets.
But the head of the headquarters did not do that and only placed the participating troops under the command of Li Yunlong, so every commander participating in the battle will receive a steel helmet.
The head of the headquarters was worried that doing so would make Boss Chen think that the Eighth Route Army was not sincere in doing business and deliberately defrauded him of the helmet.
Although Li Yunlong repeatedly explained that there was no need to worry and that Li Yunlong would make it clear to Boss Chen, the head of the headquarters still did not do so.
Li Yunlong had no choice but to give up.
Li Yunlong was also full of energy at this time. He had commanded tens of thousands of people in battles before. Although it was at the corps level, it was a small corps.
This time is different. We have to command more than 200,000 main troops to fight.
This is an opportunity given to Li Yunlong by God. In his previous military career, he had only commanded tens of thousands of troops at best.
It's different now. Being able to command more than 200,000 people to fight is already on another level. This time it's a serious large-scale battle.
Although this large-scale battle was different from Li Yunlong's imagination, there was no roar of aircraft in the sky or the roar of hundreds of heavy artillery with a caliber of over 150 mm on the ground.
But Li Yunlong was already content.
The Eighth Route Army does not have a fleet of aircraft and hundreds of heavy artillery now, but it does not mean that it will not have them in the future.
At the same time, Li Yunlong is also very grateful to Boss Chen. If Boss Chen can agree, Li Yunlong can call Boss Chen daddy on the spot.
I have this opportunity to command the main force of more than 200,000 Eighth Route Army.
To be honest, it all depends on Boss Chen's help and giving him Li Yunlong face.
If it weren't for Boss Chen's steel helmet, wartime airdrop of supplies, and the opportunity to reimburse weapons and ammunition, the head of the headquarters would definitely not have handed over this command to Li Yunlong.
After discussing the details of receiving the helmets and completing the battlefield airdrop supplies, Boss Chen encouraged Captain Li Da and asked Li Yunlong to keep up his efforts and look forward to doing bigger business with Li Yunlong in the future.
Regarding finding senior Japanese military agents, Boss Chen said he could also provide technical assistance.
…
Boss Chen and Yan Shuangying have just been sent away.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie arrived at Zhaojiayu successively.
Almost as soon as Boss Chen and Yan Shuangying left, Ding Wei and Kong Jie arrived.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at the leftovers and leftovers on the table, and without being polite to Li Yunlong, they sat down on the spot and started eating and drinking.
Although the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are relatively far from the New First Regiment, there are highways between several base areas, and they can be reached in a few hours by car.
In addition, Boss Chen's plane has been delivering goods to three regiments in northwestern Shanxi, and the Japanese reconnaissance planes cannot get in.
Therefore, the cars of the Eighth Route Army in North Shanxi dare to run around during the day.
"Lao Li, did Boss Chen bring new business?"
Hearing that this was a banquet for Boss Chen, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes lit up slightly, and Kong Jie asked hurriedly.
While eating the pork knuckle, Ding Wei asked: "Lao Li, why are you so anxious to ask me and Lao Kong to come, does it have something to do with the new business?"
"New business? New business is nothing!" Li Yunlong looked disdainful, "Our Eighth Route Army will make big moves this time!"
Ding Wei put down the pork knuckle: "What big move?"
"What big move?" Li Yunlong stared, "I'll scare you two if I tell you!"
