Chapter 243 Our old Li has air support!(2/2)
Battle, what kind of big battle is it? Lao Li, can you tell me and Lao Kong now?"
In fact, both Ding Wei and Kong Jie knew that they accepted Li Yunlong's command to fight a big battle, and said they were cooperating, mainly to take care of the face of several regiment leaders.
Li Yunlong has the final say on how the war is fought.
Li Yunlong was a little surprised: "The brigade commander didn't tell you?"
"This is all true," Kong Jie said, "I received the order last night and brought the troops over this morning."
At this time, Cao Sanlian, commander of the brigade artillery regiment, and Qiu Zhangcheng, commander of the division artillery regiment, also arrived.
The two of them walked in hand in hand. They were all old comrades in arms, and there was another round of greetings when they met.
After the greetings, Li Yunlong said: "Since everyone is here, let me talk about the combat mission of our three infantry regiments and two artillery regiments to engage in such a large battle."
"This time, we are going to have an unprecedented battle, a battle of annihilation against the Japanese 9th Brigade."
After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong's eyes swept over everyone.
This time the battle formation was even bigger than the Guanjianao battle more than half a month ago!
Last time there were only a new regiment and two artillery regiments, but this time there are two more main infantry regiments.
There are more than 8,000 infantrymen, and more than 5,000 artillery personnel in the five regiments. The total force is more than 13,000 people, and they can properly command a division to fight.
And it was a reinforced division, because during the last battle in Guanjianao, Li Yunlong had used almost two artillery brigades in total.
If you really want to calculate carefully, it's almost like commanding an infantry division and an artillery division in combat.
"This is the first time for our army to attack a Japanese brigade on a large scale!" Kong Jie said excitedly.
"It should have been done a long time ago!"
Ding Wei is also a bold guy: "If we really kill the Japanese 9th Brigade, that would be terrible. Who dares to say that our Eighth Route Army is wandering without attacking?"
Commander Qiu Zhangcheng asked: "There are only five of our regiments?"
Li Yunlong said: "According to the intelligence, the current Japanese 9th Brigade is not full strength, and only has about 6,000 people. Our five regiments add up to less than 13,000 people. Our strength is two to one with the Japanese, and the advantage is on our side.
"
"This is Japs No. 6000." Cao Sanlian also worried, "Even if we can win, it will be very difficult to annihilate them all."
