"Are you so sure it's Lao Li who's calling?" Qiu Chan asked puzzledly, wanting to pick up the phone as she spoke.
"Wait a minute, don't be so anxious." Ding Wei said: "Wait a little longer."
"?"
Although Qiu Chan was puzzled, she still suppressed her desire to connect.
After a while.
The phone went silent.
"Old Ding, let's get out of here." Qiu Chan said with a smile.
Ding Wei said calmly: "Don't worry, he will definitely call again."
New Regiment Headquarters.
"Old Zhao, something is wrong. Ding Wei just stopped answering the phone." Li Yunlong became a little anxious.
"Don't panic, let's fight again. If it doesn't work..." Zhao Gang was silent for a while and said, "Then let's go to the 28th team site."
"good!"
Li Yunlong nodded heavily and dialed the number of Group 28 again.
"Dingling bell~"
The phone on Ding Wei's desk rang again.
"Would you pick it up?" Qiu Chan asked.
"Wait, don't worry." Ding Wei said calmly.
The phone kept ringing.
During the process, Xu Hu thought something had happened to Ding Wei and came in to take a look.
After calculating for a while, Li Yunlong probably became impatient.
Ding Wei motioned to Qiu Chan to answer the phone.
Just when Li Yunlong was waiting impatiently, the call was finally connected.
"Hey, this is the 28th Brigade." Qiu Chan said.
"Hey, it turns out they are siblings."
Li Yunlong, who was just about to curse, said happily: "Where's that kid Ding Wei? I have something to do with him."
"Ding Wei is busy." Qiu Chan said, "There is going to be a war soon. Ding Wei is making arrangements."
"Then please let him answer the phone." Li Yunlong said.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong was already a little anxious.
Ding Wei, this kid, made arrangements so quickly. He must have planned it in advance and was waiting for him to jump in.
Li Yunlong was anxious and wanted to curse.
Qiu Chan also cooperated and shouted: "Old Ding, come here and answer the phone. The new regiment leader is looking for you."
"Here we come." Ding Wei responded.
Only then did he answer the phone.
"Old Li, what's the matter?" Ding Wei asked with a smile: "If you have anything to do with me again, you won't go to the county town and ask me to pay for it, right?"
"How is it possible that I, Old Li, am such a person?" Li Yunlong quickly objected and said: "Old Ding, I just thought about it for a while and this matter is a bit inappropriate.
It’s different among us brothers who will fight with whom in this county. I feel it’s more appropriate for you to fight.”
coming!
Ding Wei thought to himself.
Since Li Yunlong asked this question, this guy must have taken the bait.
"Lao Li, we've already said that we can't go back on our word, but you also agreed." Ding Wei refused in a subtle way.
"Moreover, I am setting up the defense line now and starting to mobilize supplies. There is no reason to make changes at any time. Isn't this just a fool's errand?"
Ding Wei had already started making combat arrangements before.
Now seeing Ding Wei directly rejecting it, Li Yunlong felt more and more that there was something fishy about it.
Ding Wei was so kind-hearted in letting the new regiment attack the county town, but he had no good intentions. In addition, Ding Wei's refusal made Li Yunlong even more suspicious of this matter.
"Old Ding, you can't say that. I've already taken advantage of you, how can I continue to take advantage of you? Brother, I feel really bad." Li Yunlong said.
"You are more troublesome in managing this new regiment than I am in my new regiment. How can I snatch meat from my brothers' mouths? If this matter spreads, what will the comrades in other troops think of me?"
"No, no." Ding Wei decisively refused: "How can a man be two-faced? We have already made an agreement and we will never go back on it. Who will we regret?
If I rush to grab it from my comrades because there are a lot of supplies in the county, they will think that the 28th Brigade is bullying others, even the old regiment leader in the division."
Seeing Ding Wei's righteous words, Qiu Chan looked on in amusement.
Li Yunlong never imagined that Ding Wei had been plotting against him from the beginning, just waiting for him to jump in.
The supplies in Ping'an County were beyond his imagination, but with Li Yunlong's character.
The more Ding Wei behaved like this, the more suspicious he became, suspecting that Ding Wei wanted to monopolize the supplies of the attacking troops and leave himself a mess in the county.
Otherwise, if he has already said this, why doesn't Ding Wei agree?
Aren't you afraid of screwing up?
"Old Li, Old Li, what on earth do you want to do?" Ding Wei said: "You haven't even done this for a day, and you want to regret it?
Didn't you agree to attack the county town? Why are you trying to mess with me now? I've already started to set up a defensive line."
"You just started, you still have time to change." Li Yunlong said repeatedly: "Another day, when the battle is over, can I treat you to a drink and make amends to you?"
"Why, you just want to get rid of me after just one drink?" Ding Wei asked with a smile: "We are brothers in the same class."
"One month!"
Li Yunlong said with some pain: "As long as you are willing to exchange it back, I, Li Yunlong, will cover all the wine for the next month!"
"Old Li, Old Li, why are you so mean-spirited?" Ding Wei pretended to be angry and said, "Are you worried that I will trick you?"
"No, no, it's nothing." Li Yunlong hurriedly denied: "I just want to say that I can't let my brother suffer. We have to rely on our own ability to fight.
How can you have to rely on others for everything, and end up eating a lot of it yourself while letting your good comrades eat some of the scraps?"
Li Yunlong never mentioned the matter of why you didn't go to the county town.
Seeing that Ding Wei was silent, Li Yunlong cried again and said: "Old Ding, brother, you know what's going on with me. You want too much, but I don't have much."
"Well..." Ding Wei deliberately lengthened his voice.
"Lao Li, I said before that I would help you with the aid. Whatever you earn will be yours. I, Ding Wei, won't take any of it, right?" Ding Wei asked.
"Yes, that's right." Li Yunlong nodded.
After careful calculation, the equipment obtained on the battlefield is the safest, and Li Yunlong did not dare to gamble on this probability.
If the county town is captured and you gain nothing, but your troops suffer heavy losses, it will be a great pleasure.
"Then when you heard me attack the county town, you thought I was hiding good things and didn't want to give them to you, so I gave you the opportunity to attack the county town." Ding Wei said again.
"We have also said that we must never go back on our word. Whoever goes back on his word will be his grandson. Do you think this is the truth?"
Li Yunlong responded: "Yes, that's the truth, but brother, I'm not..."
"So what else is there?" Ding Wei did not give Li Yunlong a chance to speak: "I am also a cadre after all, with tens of thousands of troops under my command.
You can't do this kind of thing that changes from day to day. I promised the soldiers to attack the county town. You said you wanted to fight, and I gave in. Now you say..."
Ding Wei pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Old Li, we can't be like this."
Seeing that Ding Wei had always disagreed, Li Yunlong was even more determined to let Ding Wei go to the county town no matter what.
"Old Ding, it would be boring if you were like this." Li Yunlong said: "I am doing this for your own good, why don't you know, what a great opportunity this is.
You just watch the opportunity slip away from your hands. Besides, I can't swallow it. In the end, I have to trouble you to help.
Let's just say this for now. Let's follow the previous arrangement. You allocate a battalion to help me provide assistance. Whatever equipment you capture will be mine.
But I, Li Yunlong, am not the one who can only take advantage. No matter how much equipment is seized this time, I will take six and you will take four as compensation for your support!"
"Eh...you..." Ding Wei said pretending to be anxious.
"It's up to you. It's useless if you don't agree. If you don't want to fight, I will have to force you to fight in the county." Li Yunlong chuckled.
"Old Li, you are boring." Ding Wei said, "Aren't you just messing around?"
Saying this made Ding Wei happy in his heart.
Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, you kid is not too scheming. You can spit out the meat I put in your mouth, so don’t blame me for giving you a chance to make a fortune.
"It's useless. That's how I behave. I always think about my brothers in everything I do." Li Yunlong chuckled.
"Okay, Li Yunlong, I will convince you this time, but this is the last time." Ding Wei said in a deep voice.
"Lao Li, we are dead this time. No one is allowed to change it anymore. The arrangements I finally made this time will not be ruined by you."
"Hey, we, Lao Li, will apologize to you first." Li Yunlong said: "This will never happen in the future."
"Humph, you are the only one who speaks in front and waves behind you. I believe you?" Ding Wei said.
"This time we have said it is dead. No one of us is allowed to change. If you attack your county, I will help you fight for help." Li Yunlong said cheerfully.
"Did you really agree that you won't be allowed to change it?" Ding Wei asked tentatively.
Li Yunlong said in a shocked voice: "We have agreed, and we will not change it again!"
"You promise?" Ding Wei asked again.
Li Yunlong said: "I promise!"
"Okay, Li Yunlong, this is the last time, only this time, I will change it again. Believe it or not, I will bring this matter to the brigade commander and ask him to deal with you." Ding Wei threatened.
Hearing the name of the brigade commander.
Li Yunlong subconsciously shrank his head and said with a sneer: "Old Ding, this is boring. We brothers should not bother him with our own affairs.
I promise, this is the last change. Anyway, your tactics have just been implemented, so you won’t lose much. When the battle is over, I’ll treat you to a drink, and we’ll drink for a month.”
"Lao Li, since you said that, I won't be polite." Ding Wei said with a smile: "I've been very naughty recently. I only want Shanxi Laofen wine, and I don't want any other wine."
Just you kid, why don’t you give me Shanxi Laofen wine?
This is all the wine I was willing to bring out to entertain the brigade commander and the others.
Li Yunlong curled his lips, disapproving in his heart, and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about Shanxi Laofenjiu, if not, how about I tie up two Japanese girls for you?"
"Damn it, you want a Japanese girl." Ding Wei laughed and scolded: "You've been a bachelor for so long, it's time to find a girl to get married to."
"The Japs haven't been beaten away yet, so I don't have the intention." Li Yunlong laughed loudly: "However, if you want to see me get married, you must prepare at least two cannons as gifts.
Otherwise, you kid won’t even think about coming in and drinking my wine, hahaha.”
As if Li Yunlong had gained a lot of advantage, the two of them boasted to each other.
"Old Ding, thank you." Li Yunlong said and hung up the phone.
Qiu Chan looked dumbfounded. With this, the county town was back in Ding Wei's hands.
What's even more ridiculous is that Li Yunlong actually said thank you to Ding Wei.
Doesn't he know how much fat he has lost?
"Old Ding, Old Ding..." Qiu Chan felt helpless.
"What's wrong?" Ding Wei asked.
Qiu Chan gave a thumbs up and said, "You are really tall."
"I've said it a long time ago, Ping'an County is the meat in my mouth!" Ding Wei's face flashed with a ruthless look.
"Then have you thought about how you are going to capture Ping'an County, and how are you going to deal with the subsequent battles?" Qiu Chan asked.
Ding Wei motioned Qiu Chan to come to the sand table.
Looking at the sand table in front of him, Ding Wei showed a smile on his lips.
This feeling of having an unobstructed view of the battlefield is simply not too comfortable.
"Qiu Chan, come on, let's have some fun." Ding Wei signaled, "Let's do the same thing as before, try to see if you can react.
We won’t play too much, just use the strength of one Japanese division. Northwest Shanxi is so big, the Japanese can’t attack us alone, and they will also be prepared to take advantage of the situation and counterattack by the Shanxi-Sui army.”
"Old Ding, you are bullying me. If it's intelligence, I can compete with you, but in terms of tactics, I don't think I can beat you." Qiu Chan said very simply.
"It's just for fun, don't take it too seriously." Ding Wei said casually, motioning Qiu Chan to walk to the opposite side.
There are many strongholds and arsenals around Ping'an County, and there is even a small airport.
"Qiu Chan, I'm going to send troops for reinforcements." Ding Wei picked up the baton and his expression became serious.
"I will send a battalion to Kong Jie's side to support, and the same will be done to Li Yunlong's side," Ding Wei said.
Qiu Chan thought for a while, although she wanted to say no.
But according to the actual situation, the Japanese would not think so. They would only understand that the Eighth Route Army had sent troops for reinforcements.
"I will increase the intensity of the attack and divide it into multiple units to attack all your defense lines with the intention of disrupting your deployment." Qiu Chan said.
"You don't know this is a trap, so I will lure the enemy deep into our defense line as much as possible and enter our ambush circle!" Ding Wei randomly took a few soldiers and placed them in the defense zone.
Seeing this place, Qiu Chan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
It is a typical concave structure area. Even if Qiu Chan is not good at military affairs, he can still see that in this area with complex terrain, the Japanese will not be able to take advantage.
As he spoke, Ding Wei picked up a few more models and placed them near a small town near Ping'an County.
Shang'an Town.
"Shang'an Town?" Qiu Chan said dumbly, "Aren't you going to attack Ping'an County?"
Ding Wei said: "You don't know now that I want to attack Ping'an County, Qiu Chan, please pay attention."
Qiu Chan felt something bad in her heart: "If I knew that the town was being attacked, I would definitely send troops to support it. This town..."
"There aren't many Japs in this town, at most one and a half squads." Ding Wei spoke up for Qiu Chan.
"If you want Shang'an Town to be safe, you must send soldiers from surrounding strongholds and even the garrison from Ping'an County."
"That's right." Qiu Chan took a deep breath.
"Next, I will use the company as a unit to constantly harass the defenders of your nearby strongholds." Ding Wei said solemnly: "Split your troops as much as possible."
"I will immediately request support from my superiors." Qiu Chan said: "You have a company of troops, and you can harass them, but don't even think about uprooting the stronghold.
I can stay in the stronghold and wait for support to arrive."
"Yes, it's good to be a turtle." Ding Wei nodded with satisfaction: "But don't forget how many troops I have.
When my sparrow-like troops launch an attack on your stronghold, I will send a battalion with an artillery battalion to take a circuitous route into Ping'an County!
By then, your stronghold troops will be busy defending the stronghold, how much time will there be for support?"
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "How many Japs are there in Ping'an County? According to the Japs' nature, they can only have the strength of a squadron at most.
Because they still have many towns and artillery towers near villages that need to be garrisoned. Do you think they can block the firepower of one of my battalions and one of my artillery battalions?"
