Li Yunlong chose the Japanese to build more than 100 thickened bunkers and gun towers before launching the campaign.
On the one hand, I want to do business with 100 thickened bunkers and gun towers.
What if we wait until the Japanese have repaired the 00 thickened bunkers and gun towers before taking action?
This is equivalent to giving the Japanese more time to prepare, and the casualties of the new regiment will inevitably increase.
On the other hand, Li Yunlong didn't know when the Japanese raids would begin, so he had to strike first.
Taiyuan was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the headquarters of the Japanese First Army was destroyed. It was all thanks to him, Li Yunlong.
When we were in southeastern Shanxi, we were surrounded by the main force of the 19th Division. There was nothing the Japanese could do against the New Regiment and Li Yunlong.
But now that the new regiment has arrived in northwestern Shanxi, Li Yunlong only has one regiment in his hands, and the Japanese will definitely launch a revenge raid.
No matter when the Japanese raids begin, the 36th Division will definitely be one of the main forces attacking the new regiment.
Eat or severely damage the 36th Division in advance.
Not only can the new group develop and expand rapidly, but it can also destroy the Japanese's raiding plan in advance.
after all.
Eating or severely damaging the 36th Division's business is a big deal, and Li Yunlong believes that Boss Chen will definitely be interested.
Li Yunlong glanced at everyone and said: "Since everyone has no objections, it has been decided. We will adopt the tactic of encircling the point to provide reinforcements. This time we must eat up the 36th Division and kill Jingguan Ren!"
"I will assign the work next."
"Deputy Commander Xing is responsible for campaign preparations and logistics."
"Political Commissar Zhao was responsible for political mobilization before the war."
"Chief of Staff Wang and I are responsible for improving the combat plan."
"Do you have any questions?"
Wang Dehou and Zhao Gang shook their heads and said there was no problem.
Xing Zhiguo asked curiously: "Captain, if we can kill the 36th Division this time, what price can Boss Chen give us?"
Li Yunlong said: "The price is the same as it was in southeastern Shanxi. 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition and 1,000 tons of grain. The price of killing the division commander Jing Guanren is additional."
Wang Dehou's eyes lit up slightly: "The price of killing Jingguan Ren will definitely be very generous!"
As a staff officer at the headquarters, he knew the price of killing Lieutenant General Akira Muto and Lieutenant General Kenkichi Hirata.
The price of killing a Japanese lieutenant general is no worse than 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition!
"That's natural!" Li Yunlong's eyes showed a hint of expectation, "If we can kill Jingguan Ren this time, maybe there will be tanks!"
Tank cadets and pilot cadets have been studying at overseas military bases for a month.
Pilot cadets need to study for one year, while tank cadets only need 3 months to graduate. Tank cadets will return in a few months.
When Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, full of expectation.
I wish I had a tank!
This is one of the reasons why Li Yunlong was anxious to eat up the 36th Division.
He tentatively asked Chen Feng what the price would be for killing Jingguan Ren, but Chen Feng did not disclose it, only saying that there would be a surprise.
As for what the surprise was, Boss Chen kept silent.
"1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition and 1,000 tons of food are also very generous!"
Wang Dehou said: "If all these 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition are given to our new regiment, we can expand the number of soldiers by 10,000."
"We can't keep them all, we have to hand over half of the weapons, ammunition and food to the headquarters."
Li Yunlong shook his head, his consciousness was very high.
The New Regiment alone cannot defeat the 36th Division, because it is not facing a Japanese division, but the entire First Army.
The main force of the 19th Division must cooperate to hold back the main force of the Japanese in the First Army, and the main force of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. Only then can they have a chance to capture the 36th Division.
Therefore, Li Yunlong must hand over half of the business supplies to the headquarters.
Fortunately, after occupying 3 county towns, we also had 900 tons of grain, 6 10mm heavy guns, 6 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 300 new submachine guns.
Xinyi Tuan can also account for almost 1,000 tons of grain.
Moreover, the price of removing a thickened and reinforced turret bunker is twice that of ordinary reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets.
As long as the 36th Division can be eaten or severely damaged, this business will definitely make a huge profit!
"Even if half of it is handed over, we can expand the number of people by 700!"
Speaking of this, Wang Dehou's eyes burned.
Although there will be sacrifices in the battle against the 36th Division, as long as the battle is won, the weapons and ammunition will be reimbursed.
Wang Dehou was excited when he thought about living the life of a military chief of staff.
"Not only the number of people will be expanded to 700," Zhao Gang said with a smile, "but also the share captured?"
"Yes, there is also the captured share!" Wang Dehou's smile became brighter, "With the Japs and the puppet army numbering 10,000 people, at least 0,000 guns and millions of bullets can be seized?"
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Commander Li said angrily: "This battle has not even started yet, and you are already thinking about expansion? If you don't have anything else to do, let's break up the meeting. Chief of Staff Wang and I still have to work on a battle plan."
Xing Zhiguo and Zhao Gang smiled at each other, then put away their notebooks and walked out. Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou began to work out the details of the battle plan and emergency preparedness.
In addition to obtaining the maximum results at the minimum cost.
The commander also has to consider how to keep the soldiers in the best condition and ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.
After preparing the details of the battle plan and emergency preparedness, Li Yunlong asked Wang Dehou to draft a telegram.
After reading it, he had no problem and signed it. Then Wang Dehou asked the telegraph operator to immediately send the telegram to the headquarters.
…
Headquarters.
The division commander is not here today, only the boss, chief of staff, and a few operational staff officers are at the headquarters.
"Report to the chief, a new telegram!"
The decoder held two telegrams in his hand, walked up to the boss and chief of staff, and gave a military salute.
The chief of staff took the telegram from the decoder and read it.
The next second, the chief of staff's eyes narrowed slightly.
After taking a look at the chief of staff's expression, the boss turned around and continued to stare at the map of northwest Shanxi and asked, "Is this guy Li Yunlong trying to cause trouble again?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As expected of the boss, I guessed right!"
The chief of staff smiled, opened the second telegram and read it.
After reading both messages, the chief of staff said: "Li Yunlong is preparing to eat the 36th Division. This is the battle plan."
Due to the word limit in telegrams, Li Yunlong could not send a detailed battle plan to the headquarters. He only stated the general battle plan in the telegram.
The boss suddenly raised his head when he heard this, with an extremely surprised expression, and then took the telegram from the chief of staff's hand and read it.
The first message is the battle plan.
The second one is to apply for cooperation from the headquarters, hoping that the headquarters will send troops to attack Taiyuan and Yangquan to coordinate the new regiment's combat operations.
In addition, Li Yunlong also requested the headquarters to transfer the Second New Regiment and the Independent Regiment to the defense area of the New Regiment to cooperate with the New Regiment in attacking the Japanese 36th Division.
"There's nothing Li Yunlong wouldn't dare to do!"
After reading the content of the telegram, the boss couldn't help but sigh, and then said happily: "But don't tell me yet, this guy's fighting style is very suitable for me!"
The boss's fighting style is famous for his bravery, and Li Yunlong's fighting style is very similar to that of the boss.
The difference is that Li Yunlong likes to calculate costs when fighting, and he is quite stingy like a Shanxi rich man. If there is no advantage to be taken, he will not do it even if he wants to.
At first, the boss thought that Li Yunlong was going to request the entire regiment to dispatch the Japanese gun towers and bunkers.
But he didn't expect that Li Yunlong's appetite would become even bigger this time and he would eat the 36th Division in one go!
"Boss, do you agree with Li Yunlong's battle plan?"
the chief of staff asked.
The boss thought for about ten seconds with his eyes open, then pointed at the northwestern part of Shanxi on the map and said domineeringly: "I agree with Li Yunlong's battle plan and eat the son of a bitch 36th Division!"
"Attacking the 36th Division is not a trivial matter. If you don't do it, it will affect the whole body. Maybe the entire Shanxi army will be involved." The chief of staff said with a worried tone: "After all, we have to consider the overall situation.
."
While speaking, the chief of staff drew a circle on the entire Shanxi map with his hand, indicating that once a war breaks out in northwestern Shanxi, it is likely that the entire Shanxi will be reduced to a pot of porridge.
"If you get involved, get involved. What are you afraid of?" The boss was not false at all, and even looked forward to it. "At the moment, the Japanese army has not increased troops and mobilized combat materials to the First Army. Once the Japanese army starts to increase troops and mobilize combat materials, they will launch a raid on the base area.
, we don’t have such a good opportunity.”
The Chief of Staff thought about it carefully. At present, the Japanese First Army does not have sufficient combat materials and its continuous combat capability is not strong.
From this perspective, the New Regiment, Independent Regiment and New Second Regiment in northwestern Shanxi combined exceed 30,000 people, and there are also more than 4 artillery regiments of artillery. They may really have a chance to eat up the 36th Division.
The chief of staff nodded: "Okay, boss, since you have made up your mind to let Li Yunlong fight this battle, then I have nothing to say, and I fully support it!"
The boss was not surprised by the chief of staff's agreement.
When the boss launched the Hundred Regiment War, many people opposed it, but the chief of staff stood unswervingly on the boss's side. The battle plan, troop mobilization, and material preparation were almost all completed by the chief of staff.
This is a partner. Not only do they cooperate with each other tacitly, but they can also provide support at critical moments.
The boss added: "In addition, you can also send a telegram to the Chief of Guard, saying that our Eighth Route Army will launch a big operation in the near future, and the First Theater Zone may take this opportunity to recover Zhongtiao Mountain."
After the Chief of Guard returned to the first theater, because the main force of the Central Army had not been completely wiped out, he quickly stabilized the situation and stepped up defense deployment along the Yellow River.
Due to the rapid rise of the Eighth Route Army, the First Army now had no time to cross the Yellow River and attack Henan Province.
Once the war starts in northwestern Shanxi and the main force of the 19th Division moves northward to attack Taiyuan and Yangquan, the Japanese army will definitely not be able to take care of southern Shanxi.
This is an excellent opportunity for the Central Army to regain Zhongtiao Mountain, and the boss has a very keen strategic vision.
As for what big move it is, it is impossible for the boss to reveal it in advance. Once the combat plan is revealed to the first theater, there is a risk that the intelligence will be leaked.
"This is a great idea!" the chief of staff praised. "With the Chief of Guard personally taking command, the First Theater Zone really has a chance to regain Zhongtiao Mountain. If the Central Army can regain Zhongtiao Mountain, it will be a great thing for our Eighth Route Army."
Before the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army had four divisions surrounding the outskirts of Zhongtiao Mountain, forming an encirclement situation against the Central Army.
After the battle, the Japanese army only deployed one division in southern Shanxi, and the remaining divisions were all used to deal with the Eighth Route Army.
Once the Central Army regains Zhongtiao Mountain.
Then the Japanese army will inevitably draw back its forces to deal with the Central Army. In this way, not only will the pressure on the Eighth Route Army be reduced a lot, but more Japanese troops will be contained.
