Eighth Route Army headquarters, conference room.
The place was filled with smoke at the moment, and although there was no meeting going on, it was surprisingly quiet, with no one speaking.
More than a dozen leaders of the main force were sitting upright, listening carefully to the voice coming from the walkie-talkie. Although the signal was not very clear, they could still barely hear what the people inside were saying.
Most of these regimental commanders arrived today for the purpose of attending pre-war meetings.
Before everyone arrived, a boss had nothing to do and took out a walkie-talkie and asked everyone to listen to Li Yunlong's command.
On the one hand, it is to let everyone know about the new communication equipment, and on the other hand, it is to let Li Yunlong perform. As for whether it becomes popular or smashed, it depends on his ability.
Of course, Li Yunlong himself didn't know this.
After hearing that Li Yunlong had spared five transport trucks, a new group leader asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to fight? Just let them go?"
"It's not that we didn't fight. We ambushed two vehicles at noon. They were vehicles leaving the transport brigade. I guess Li Yunlong only opened them to go out and did not attack the vehicles returning to the team." Another regiment leader who arrived early replied .
"Based on this scenario, is Li Yunlong planning to do something big tonight and take the entire transport brigade to task?"
The leader who arrived early smiled and took a puff of cigarette, "Yes, this is the task of the independent group. I heard the boss said that he only gave Li Yunlong five days. Today is the fourth day, so he said tonight Action must be taken, if he fails to meet the mission standards, he will be the leader of the regiment."
"What are the standards for the mission?" the new leader asked.
"Having destroyed 90% of the transport vehicles, it is estimated that there must be at least one hundred and two trucks, right?" The regiment leader who arrived early said uncertainly, took a puff of cigarette, put the cigarette butt out, put it in his pocket, and stood up. "There is a sand table over there, and someone is already reviewing it. Let's go over and have a look."
While talking, the two of them had arrived in front of a sand table.
The layout of the sand table is very simple and abstract, but these battle-experienced captains can form a battle map in their minds just by taking a casual look at it.
Seeing that there was no sound coming from the intercom, someone asked, "Li Yunlong knocked down several cars. Does anyone know?"
"It's been eight taels in total since morning. In fact, a convoy of six taels of trucks entered his ambush circle. He didn't fight. What a pity!" said a regiment leader who arrived very early.
"Why don't you fight? This is not in line with his character, Li Yunlong! If this goose doesn't pluck its feathers, he, Li Yunlong, will probably not be able to sleep at night."
"There are no drivers! There are only four drivers in their independent group. If the extra cars are not driven away in time, his combat intentions will soon be exposed. The five taels just now are probably for this reason. If this task is given to our group, Even if ten cars come, we can get him away." A group leader said indignantly, crossing his arms.
Someone nodded in agreement, but then said sourly, "We also have our own tasks. I heard that Li Yunlong happened to be escorting the supplies to the headquarters, so he caught up with such a fat guy."
"Hey, don't think about it! Our meat won't reach our bowls no matter what. What do you think the boss means by asking us to listen to Li Yunlong's instructions?" someone asked.
"The thing on the table is called a walkie-talkie. It is the communication equipment used by international friends to assist us. This time the boss called us to distribute this equipment to us! I heard that this batch of equipment was escorted by Li Yunlong. Several of the equipment in his hand The boss gave it to him to do the experiment."
Apparently a well-informed group leader had gotten some information that was not considered confidential at the moment.
The intercom's "rustling" sound rang again, and then the entire conference room fell silent instantly.
"Fat officer, please call the abbot. Please answer when you receive it!"
"Abbott received it!"
"I allow that comrade to act together, but you have to follow him to protect his safety! End of call!"
The conference room was quiet for a while. When there was no sound coming from the intercom, someone asked, "Isn't that Captain Li besides the fat member? I've seen him before, and he's not fat. Why did he give himself such a code name?" "
"To keep it a secret, right?" someone said in an uncertain tone.
"Okay, let's not talk about fat or thin members anymore. I just collected the intelligence. According to this situation, Li Yunlong will definitely have a fierce battle tonight! Judging from the current intelligence, at least nine people have gathered in the transportation team's camp. Ten trucks." A regiment leader said as he placed five pine branches into the transportation brigade's camp.
Ninety trucks is not a small number. If they are lined up, they can cover more than two miles. So someone immediately raised the question, "So many trucks have gathered, is it for the autumn harvest?"
"definitely is!"
"But this transport brigade is not easy to fight! Not only is it easy to defend but difficult to attack, but just talking about the reinforcements, I'm afraid it's enough for him, Li Yunlong, to drink a pot." A regiment leader pointed to a stronghold on the edge of Linxian County. He said, "There are about 1,500 Japanese and puppet troops here, even if half of them are dispatched." He drew a marching route with a wooden stick, "It only takes half an hour to get here."
"The first batch of people who came was only 300 people at most. Now the Japanese have dispersed their troops to various strongholds. It is unrealistic to gather a large number of troops at once."
"You're right, but the Japs here, here, and here can respond quickly. Although they are not as fast as Linxian, they can arrive in an hour at most. Moreover," the group leader pointed to another town and said , "There is a Japanese cavalry squadron here! If they receive the order to rush to rescue, they will definitely arrive in half an hour."
After hearing this information, the group leaders surrounding the sand table immediately fell into deep thought. They all now understood that Li Yunlong's mission was really difficult. If the battle could not be ended quickly, then he would be dumped by the Japanese.
After realizing the difficulty of Li Yunlong's mission, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
After a moment, someone broke the silence, "Has any of us received a rescue mission?"
No one answered because no one had received the task of calling for reinforcements.
"Are you all here? What are you all doing around the sand table? Just now, Lao Zhao told me to come to the conference room first because there was someone singing opera here."
A voice broke the calm again, everyone turned to look, and it turned out to be Kong Jie.
When they saw Kong Jie, someone went up to say hello, "Old Kong, if you are reinstated as an official, you should treat me to a treat."
"Okay, if you come to my new second regiment, you'll be in charge!" Kong Jie said.
"You came quite late."
"I have an urgent mission, which delayed me a little! But there are no opera singers here?"
Someone smiled, pointed to the intercom on the table and said, "Right there, your old partner Li Yunlong is the singer."
