Chapter 460 I have meat to eat here, come quickly!
"Captain, the head of the headquarters has agreed to our battle plan!"
The next day, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou hurriedly walked into the regiment headquarters with a telegram in his hand.
The tone is happy.
After sending the telegram to the headquarters yesterday, the boss only thought about it for 10 seconds before agreeing to Li Yunlong's battle plan.
But after all, to launch such a big campaign, the head of the headquarters still has to hold a meeting to study it and seek instructions from higher-ups.
The higher-ups also hope that after the Hundred Regiments War and the Taiyuan Battle, the Eighth Route Army will take the initiative to launch another campaign against the Japanese troops in North China to completely knock down the arrogance of the Japanese in North China!
Therefore, the telegram from the headquarters agreeing to the battle plan was not sent to the new regiment until the next day.
Just after Xiu Qin left, she gave Li Yunlong a pair of hand-embroidered cloth shoes.
The soles of the shoes are embroidered with "Fight to the End" and the insoles are embroidered with peonies.
He casually put the cloth shoes aside. Now the main force of the new regiment is wearing the rubber-soled shoes given by Boss Chen, but the new recruits in each division are still wearing cloth shoes.
Li Yunlong was eating melon seeds while thinking about whether, in addition to steel helmets, he should get some rubber-soled shoes for the troops.
Also, each recruit must be equipped with a gas mask.
The little devil is secretly using poison gas bombs on the battlefield as a routine operation.
Since the Eighth Route Army was equipped with gas masks, it has repeatedly plotted against the Japanese on the battlefield, causing the Japanese to suffer a lot.
Every main soldier in each main infantry battalion of the new regiment is prepared with a gas mask, but the new recruits are not equipped with it yet.
For this attack on the 36th Division, Boss Chen will give a deposit of 00 tons of weapons and ammunition and 00 tons of grain.
This is not included in the business. Li Yunlong is wondering whether to replace some of the weapons and ammunition with gas masks?
At present, the new regiment has sufficient weapons and ammunition. Everyone has a weapon, and even the artillery is equipped with pistols or carbines.
Li Yunlong immediately decided to replace a batch of gas masks and prepare to talk to Boss Chen about the matter.
Then Li Yunlong heard Wang Dehou's voice ringing in his ears. A moment later, Wang Dehou walked into the regiment headquarters with a telegram in his hand.
"Oh? Agreed, what does the head of the headquarters say?"
Li Yunlong looked slightly happy.
Although he had already guessed that the head of the headquarters would agree to the battle plan, Li Yunlong couldn't help but look happy when he heard the news.
Such a big battle must have the support of the headquarters, otherwise the current new regiment alone will not be able to handle it.
The Ping An Campaign in the late Anti-Japanese War in the original drama.
Li Yunlong had the main force plus local armed forces, county brigade, district squad, and tens of thousands of villagers and soldiers. It was very difficult to defeat a county town defended by only more than a thousand puppet troops.
The main reason is to use half of the troops for reinforcements.
But this time the enemy is even more powerful. Not only the elite 36th Division of the First Army, but also other units of the Japanese First Army can be reinforced at any time.
Therefore, the new regiment needs the help of the head of the headquarters and the cooperation of the main force of the 19th Division to have a chance to eat up the 36th Division.
Wang Dehou said happily: "The head of the headquarters said that the main force of the 19th Division is divided into two parts, one goes north to attack the Zhengtai Railway, and the other goes north from the Baijin Line to threaten Taiyuan. If the main force of the 37th Division and the main force of the 41st Division
Going north, the main force in southeastern Shanxi will attack Yangquan and Taiyuan, and the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment will come over to cooperate with us in attacking the 36th Division."
"In addition, the Central Army in the First Theater will also cross the Yellow River north to attack the Japanese army in Zhongtiao Mountain."
"In addition, the head of the headquarters also told us that although we have the main force to cooperate, we must still be prepared for reinforcements and emergency preparedness."
Li Yunlong took the telegram from Wang Dehou and read it.
There are three pages of telegrams, and the contents of the telegram are similar to what Wang Dehou dictated. After reading the contents of the telegram, Li Yunlong looked extremely satisfied.
Everything is ready now.
Just waiting for the Japanese to build bunkers and gun towers.
…
Time flies by like a white horse.
Half a month later.
Gaojia Village.
Independent regimental headquarters station.
Kong Jie has been very leisurely recently and has been living a comfortable life.
Ever since Li Yunlong led his troops over and worked with the Independent Regiment to remove the artillery towers around the base area, the base areas of the Independent Regiment have been connected together, and more than a month has passed, and the Japanese still have not sent troops to capture these three counties. This has allowed the Independent Regiment to develop rapidly.
, not only expanded the main force to more than 4,000 people, but also vigorously developed local troops, county brigade, district squad and village soldiers.
Since all the seizures from the captured county town belong to the Independent Regiment, the current Independent Regiment is also very rich.
Not only is it equipped with cannons from an artillery regiment, but it is also equipped with machine guns from a machine artillery regiment, and its ammunition reserves are also quite abundant.
However, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, in addition to daily hard training, Kong Jie often sent troops to farther places to fight against Japanese ambushes and rob Japanese transport convoys.
After nearly two months of integration, today's independent regiment is fully capable of fighting a Japanese regiment head-on, and even has a great advantage in artillery fire.
In terms of road construction, Kong Jie has already determined the route with Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, and construction has already started.
However, the defense area of the independent regiment is about 100 kilometers away from the defense area of the new regiment. Even if two-way road construction is started together, it will take at least half a year before the defense areas of the three regiments can be opened to traffic.
Naturally, the more than 20 Japanese trucks seized after conquering three counties also belonged to Kong Jie.
Kong Jie used these more than 0 Japanese trucks to set up a platoon, but gasoline was not easy to get, so the usage rate was low.
Kong Jie will not forget that the independent regiment has its current scale and firepower, and most of the credit is due to Li Yunlong's help.
Half a month ago, the brigade headquarters sent a telegram to the Independent Regiment, saying that the new regiment would make big moves in the near future, so that Kong Jie and the independent regiment should be ready to cooperate with the new regiment at any time.
It was said that they were cooperating with the new regiment to fight, but in fact they were leading the troops to listen to Li Yunlong's command.
Kong Jie guessed that Li Yunlong was going to attack the 36th Division, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep half the night.
The opportunity for the independent group to make a fortune has come!
Immediately Kong Jie ordered the troops to be ready at any time and prepare three days of dry food, but the wait lasted half a month.
Just when Kong Jie was considering whether to ask the telegraph operator to send a telegram to inquire about Li Yunlong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The decoder came in with a telegram in his hand: "Report to the leader, a new telegram!"
"Um?"
Kong Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, took the telegram from the decoder and read it.
The content of the telegram was very short, with only a few words: I have meat to eat here, come quickly.
The signature is Li Yunlong, leader of the new regiment.
But Kong Jie, who knew Li Yunlong, knew that the shorter the telegram content, the greater the amount of information.
After reading the telegram, Kong Jie grinned slightly, suddenly slapped the telegram on the table, and shouted at the door: "Send my order, and the whole group will assemble immediately!"
The main force of the independent regiment, which was already ready, quickly assembled.
The political commissar and 1 infantry battalion stayed behind to look after the house, while Kong Jie led the other 4 infantry battalions, machine gun battalions, artillery battalions and cavalry companies to march quickly towards the defense area of the new regiment.
at the same time.
Ding Wei also received a telegram from Li Yunlong inviting him to eat meat, and immediately led the main force of the New Second Regiment to rush to the New First Regiment.
…
After two days of rapid march.
Kong Jie and Ding Wei led the main forces to arrive at the defense area of the new regiment.
At this time, the main force participating in the attack on the Japanese 36th Division was close to 30,000.
Although half of them were two-month-old recruits, these recruits had participated in two battles, and each of them had stabbed a Japanese corpse with a bayonet.
Coupled with all American equipment, sufficient ammunition and logistical supplies, the firepower can fully make up for the lack of combat experience and training.
This is also the reason why Li Yunlong dared to let new soldiers go to the battlefield.
Kong Jie arrived at Zhaojiayu first, and Ding Wei also arrived a few hours later.
In the New Regiment, Li Yunlong asked the cooking team to prepare a table of good wine and food for Ding Wei and Kong Jie, with Deputy Commander Xing accompanying them.
"Lao Li, we haven't seen each other for only two months. How come your regiment has become motorized?"
Kong Jie ate a piece of fried peanuts, then looked at Li Yunlong and asked, looking at the big truck and jeep, his eyes were filled with excitement.
"Haha, we are still far from realizing motorization."
"There are only 0 jeeps, a few Japanese trucks, and 60 large Jiefang trucks."
Li Yunlong laughed and looked at Kong Jie's expression, feeling comfortable.
Kong Jie said in a surprised tone: "More than 100 cars, my dear, you have made a fortune!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Come, come, have a drink, there are just over 100 cars, it's not worth mentioning."
The four of them clinked their bowls, and Li Yunlong drank one with water instead of wine.
Then, Ding Wei asked: "Lao Li, tell me and Lao Kong, how many troops do you have now?"
Kong Jie also raised his ears and made a gesture of listening carefully.
When fighting the Japanese army in southeastern Shanxi, taking the initiative to attack a Japanese division would require assembling almost 30,000 of the Eighth Route Army's main force, and this would only be possible if there were sufficient ammunition and sufficient logistical supplies.
Now that Li Yunlong dares to attack the 36th Division, he will definitely have many troops.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie knew that Li Yunlong had recruited troops after arriving in northwest Shanxi, but they did not know how many troops the new regiment had expanded.
Speaking of this, Commander Li lost his sleep and said: "How many troops have been expanded? Can you guess?"
"Expanded by 3000?" Kong Jie asked tentatively.
Li Yunlong shook his head, and Xing Zhiguo on the side also smiled and said nothing.
"Expanded by 000?" Ding Wei also asked tentatively.
Li Yunlong's tone was triumphant: "I'll scare you when I tell you. During this period, I have expanded the number of troops by 17,000, and now the main force of the new regiment has more than 13,000 troops!"
"Expanded by 17,000 troops?! The total number of troops is 3,000?" Kong Jie shrank slightly when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.
"real or fake?"
Ding Wei also didn't believe it.
Xing Zhiguo smiled and said: "It's true. During this period, our new regiment has expanded by 10,000 infantrymen, and also expanded by 1 air defense battalion, 1 artillery battalion and 1 heavy artillery battalion. Now Lao Li is a real native
Rich man."
When Ding Wei heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "It's time to fight the local tyrants again!"
Kong Jie sighed with emotion: "You are so damn rich, you have become the commander of the army!"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie would be lying if they said they were not envious of the new regiment's current solid financial resources and military strength, but they were more happy for their old comrades.
After all, Li Yunlong is rich, and just giving them some equipment can make them rich.
"Hurry up and finish your meal. Let's take a look at Lao Li's heavy artillery." Ding Wei said, "Old Li, is it okay for me and Lao Kong to take a look at your heavy artillery?"
After laughing, Li Yunlong said: "No problem, just watch as you like!"
