Li Yunlong asked himself to attend the combat meeting.
This means that this kid Li Yunlong is going to do something big, and the opportunity for the independent group to make a fortune is coming again!
"Where's the clear telegram?"
"What did that boy Li Yunlong say?"
Kong Jie regained his composure. In front of the battalion commanders, Kong Jie must always maintain his dignity as the main force to strengthen the regiment commander.
Although the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment does not have a number on the establishment list of the National Army Military and Political Department, the current combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment can be used to casually defeat Principal Chang's direct line elite division.
Guan Dashan, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao and others were delighted at first, and then looked at the telegraph soldiers expectantly.
Every time Captain Li Yunlong discovered the content of the coded telegram, he either snatched combat supplies from the Japanese, killed the Japanese lieutenant general, and thanked Okamura Neiji, the captain of the Eighth Route Army's transportation brigade.
What is it this time?
The telegraph soldier immediately said: "Commander Li informed the military and civilians across the country that the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army annihilated the First Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army that provoked a total war between China and Japan on the Pingsui Railway, fifty kilometers east of Gaoyang County, as a token of comfort.
The souls of the Chinese soldiers and civilians who died in this war are in heaven.”
Kong Jie stood up suddenly: "Is this true?"
"This is a clear telegram sent from the New Regiment." The telegraph nodded with certainty, "Captain, it's true."
"Nice job!"
Kong Jie's big hands slapped the Kang table in excitement: "What a beautiful job!"
Smiles quickly appeared on the faces of all the battalion commanders.
"etc……"
While happy, Kong Jie quickly caught the key point:
"If I remember correctly, this 1st Infantry Regiment should be affiliated with the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army."
"The appearance of the First Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army on the Pingsui Railway, 50 kilometers east of Gaoyang County, indicates that the First Division of the Japanese Army is coming to northwest Shanxi."
Kong Jie asked Guan Dashan to lay out a map and found the approximate location on the map where the first regiment of Japanese infantry was completely wiped out.
If the First Division comes to northwest Shanxi, it will be a big deal!
Li Yunlong is really interesting. Such a good thing cannot be forgotten by an old comrade.
Immediately, Kong Jie narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly: "Guards, prepare a car and go to Dagu Town!"
"Yes!" the guard shouted back.
The defense area of the Independent Regiment is about 100 kilometers away from the defense area of the New Regiment.
At present, the roads in the three base areas of the Northwest Shanxi Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the New First Regiment have been completed. According to the current speed of cars running on the road, 30 kilometers per hour, it only takes more than 3 hours for Kong Jie to
We drove to the new regiment's defense area.
…
About four hours later.
Dagu Town.
The entrance of the new group department.
Ding Wei jumped out of a jeep and walked quickly into the new regiment headquarters.
Like Kong Jie, Captain Ding came roaring in a jeep like a shark that smelled blood.
"salute!"
The guard at the door snapped and made a gun salute.
Ding Wei returned the greeting and continued to move forward, leading the way.
After opening the door curtain and walking into the regiment headquarters, Ding Wei saw Kong Jie sitting on the kang with a pipe in his mouth.
Opposite Kong Jie, sitting cross-legged like the second uncle Li Yunlong, the political commissar of the new regiment Zhao Gang, deputy regiment commander Xing Zhiguo and chief of staff Wang Dehou were all there.
"Lao Li, when a leader like me came to your new group, there was no one to greet him."
"Return it to him? Where's the old comrade? When the old comrade comes to your place, is this the treatment?"
Although he said this, Ding Wei was not polite at all and sat down on the chair.
"Hahaha……"
"What's our relationship? There's no need to engage in such nonsense."
Seeing Ding Wei and Kong Jie arriving as promised, Li Yunlong waved his hands happily.
Zhao Gang asked: "Captain Ding, Commander Kong, and the 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition that Boss Chen gave you, have they been delivered?"
"Delivered!"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie nodded at the same time and said.
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "Boss Chen has never offered any discounts on delivery. It's very comfortable to do business with someone like Boss Chen."
Next, Ding Wei and Kong Jie asked about some details about the killing of Gu Shoufu and the complete annihilation of the Japanese First Infantry Regiment.
"Hahaha……"
But Li Yunlong didn't want to waste time on these unimportant matters. He took out a telegram with a smile on his face:
"This is the telegram sent by the head of the headquarters half an hour ago. From now on, your two regiments will be under the command of Lao Li."
Captain Li Da got straight to the point.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie took the telegram and looked at it. The deputy commander-in-chief signed it personally, so they had nothing to say and just carried out the order.
Anyway, this is not the first time that they have listened to Li Yunlong's orders. Ding Wei and Kong Jie are naturally happy to make a lot of money every time they fight.
After reading the telegram sent by the head of the headquarters, Ding Wei and Kong Jie sat upright and looked at Commander Li.
"Old Li, are you dealing with the First Division this time?"
"Whatever you say, we, the New Second Regiment, will do."
Ding Wei also guessed that Li Yunlong wanted to join the First Division, not the 26th Division, nor to attack Taiyuan.
If it is the 26th Division, the New Regiment is enough, and there is no need to call the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.
Attacking Taiyuan is even more impossible, because the expansion of the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment have not yet been completed. Attacking Taiyuan at this time would be impossible unless you are crazy.
"Lao Li, our independent group will fight wherever you point us to." Kong Jie also expressed his position.
The business of killing a Japanese soldier from an A-type division is twice that of a Japanese soldier from a second-line division. This time, we must make a fortune.
"Old Ding's guess is correct." Li Yunlong's lips curled up slightly, "This time we are going to attack the Japanese First Division."
While speaking, Li Yunlong spread the map on the table. At the same time, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou handed the information about the First Division to Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
Li Yunlong asked: "Have you both heard about the First Division?"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie nodded slightly while picking up the information and reading it.
The First Division is the oldest division in the history of the Japanese Army and participated in the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and the Battle of Nomonkan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the First Division landed on the Liaodong Peninsula of my country and participated in the battle to attack Jinzhou City and Lushun.
The 1st Division now has 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade, including four infantry regiments, but the 1st Infantry Regiment has been killed.
"Four artillery regiments? Two heavy artillery regiments among them?"
Kong Jie looked at the information in his hand and was suddenly shocked:
"No wonder the First Division dared to come to northwestern Shanxi."
"What is this little devil doing?" Ding Wei also said in a slightly solemn tone, "One division has four artillery regiments? This has never happened before."
Four artillery regiments and two heavy artillery regiments, this is a bit tricky.
The Japanese artillery is not bad, and the artillery quality is also very high, especially the Japanese artillery regiment of the first division.
at present.
The artillery firepower displayed by the new regiment in front of the Japanese was one heavy artillery battalion and two ordinary battalions. Of course, these three artillery battalions were all regiment-level in size, comparable to the Japanese artillery regiment.
Coupled with the artillery companies under each infantry battalion, the artillery firepower of the new regiment can easily defeat any Class A division.
Of course, it would be even more terrifying if 24 B4 heavy howitzers were pulled out.
The Japanese also knew that the artillery firepower of the New Regiment was very strong, and it would definitely not be enough to send only one Class A division, so they not only sent the First Division, but also strengthened the artillery firepower of the First Division.
"Hahaha……"
Commander Li Da smiled and said: "This shows that the Japanese really want to kill the new group of labor and management. They want to kill our new group. Labor and management will strike first and eat the first division. Even if they can't eat the first division, they will still kill it."
The first division was completely crippled."
At the end of his words, Li Yunlong's tone became colder and harsher.
Killing the 1st Infantry Regiment is just the beginning, the next step is to completely destroy the 1st Division.
After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Also, the 2nd Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will also be under my command. How many troops do you two regiments have now?"
The Independent 2nd Brigade was active in the Beitaihang area, so the commander of the Independent 2nd Brigade did not rush over to hold a combat meeting. When there was a combat mission, Li Yunlong directly issued orders by telegram.
Ding Wei was the first to say: "Our regiment has about 10,000 people, half of which are new soldiers. However, these new soldiers are all recruited by the militia. After more than two months of training, they will have no problem going to the battlefield."
"Our regiment is about the same." Kong Jie said, "The main force of our regiment is almost 10,000."
Li Yunlong nodded and said in a satisfied tone: "The main force of our regiment is 30,000 people, plus your two regiments and the 2nd Independent Brigade, that's more than 50,000 people. There will be no problem in defeating the first division."
Zhao Gang said confidently:
"Although there is the 26th Division behind the First Division, the main force of the North China Front, the Mongolian Army and the First Army."
"Once we start a war in northwestern Shanxi, the Japanese reinforcements will definitely reinforce the First Division like crazy."
"But the main forces of our three regiments in northwestern Shanxi are not fighting alone. The head of the headquarters has made it clear that the Eighth Route Army from all major military regions will attack the Japanese at the same time."
When Ding Wei and Kong Jie heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath at the same time.
Maybe this time the whole of North China will become a pot of porridge with northwest Shanxi as the center.
The Eighth Route Army now is no longer the Eighth Route Army a few years ago. It already has the strength to compete with the Japanese army in North China!
soon.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie finished reading the information about the First Division.
Ding Wei asked solemnly: "Lao Li, how are you going to fight this battle?"
"Hey hey hey..."
Li Yunlong smiled in his unique voice and took out a map and spread it on the table. Ding Wei and Kong Jie came up to take a look.
I saw that on the map, the highway from Datong to northwest Shanxi had been drawn with a big arrow and several small arrows.
Needless to say, Ding Wei and Kong Jie knew that the big arrow represented the marching route of the First Division, and the small arrow represented the attack direction of the Eighth Route Army in Northwestern Shanxi.
This is an unfinished battle plan map.
Li Yunlongsen sneered: "This time, let's give the Japs of the First Division a hard time and beat them up."
…
Shanxi.
Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
"The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army wiped out the first regiment of the Japanese Locust Army?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This must be a smoke bomb deliberately released by Li Yunlong."
Huagu, the Chief of Staff of the First Army, was looking at the clear telegram sent by the new regiment in his hand, and his tone was quite confident, not believing that this telegram was true at all.
Deputy Chief of Staff Masao Miyazaki also said: "Li Yunlong even lied to himself. The 1st Infantry Regiment belongs to the 1st Division. It should be in Manchuria at this time. How could it come to the Pingsui Railway?"
"wrong!"
Commander Yoshio Iwasatsu shook his head:
"Li Yunlong never misses someone. Maybe the first infantry regiment was really killed by the new regiment."
"Your Excellency, Commander." Kazuki Yamamoto said, "This should be true. Some time ago, my classmate at Imperial Army University, Major General Into Shinpei, sent me a secret message saying that the First Division will enter the border in the near future.
, attached to the North China Front Army Headquarters, went to northwest Shanxi to deal with the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."
"Then..." Yoshio Iwamatsu said sadly, "This is true."
General Okamura did not inform him of such a big event as the First Division's entry into the border. It seemed that General Okamura really did not trust the First Army Headquarters.
How long can I hold the position of commander of the First Army?
Hanatani Masaru and Miyazaki Masao on the side suddenly looked in disbelief and shock.
The combat effectiveness of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was too terrifying. It wiped out the entire regiment of the Locust Army in one attack.
Who can withstand this?
Hanatani Masaru and Miyazaki Masao looked at Yamamoto Kazuki, their eyes couldn't help but twinkle slightly.
Kazuki Yamamoto was highly suspicious of the destruction of the two advancing teams. Kazuki Yamamoto also knew about the entry of the First Division this time.
Could the leak of the whereabouts of the 1st Infantry Regiment be related to Kazuki Yamamoto?
Yamamoto Kazuki was keenly aware of Hanatani Masaru and Miyazaki Masao's eyes, but he still had a paralyzed face and was not moved at all.
The main theme is a person who is upright and not afraid of slanted shadows.
Of course, Masao Hanatani and Masao Miyazaki were just suspicious and had no substantial evidence. What's more, Yamamoto Kazuki probably couldn't get the train timetable of the 1st Infantry Regiment.
"No matter what, it's impossible for the New Eighth Route Army to eat up the First Division."
"From now on, our First Army's life will be much better."
Yoshio Iwamatsu breathed a sigh of relief and said that the New Regiment had attacked Taiyuan once and was familiar with it. He was really afraid that the New Regiment would attack Taiyuan again.
The First Division is watching the New Regiment in northwestern Shanxi. It is impossible for the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to make any moves in a short period of time.
"Yes!" Hua Guzheng agreed, "In the final analysis, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army does have some combat effectiveness, but their opponent is the entire Japanese Empire. When the Locust Army wins in Southeast Asia, they can easily defeat the Jin Dynasty with their free hands.
The Eighth Route Army in the Northwest."
With Hanatani Masa's agreement, Iwamatsu Yoshio nodded with a gentle expression:
"However, our First Army cannot sit still and wait for death. We must take the initiative to prevent General Okamura Neji from being dissatisfied with us."
Although Yoshio Iwamatsu was afraid of death, he still wanted to achieve some political achievements.
If you perform well as the commander of the First Army, you can be promoted to general and serve as the commander of a certain front army in the next step.
Otherwise, he will be transferred back to the country to take up a casual position. Although the salary is good, he has no real power and it is difficult to hope for promotion to a general.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Masao Miyazaki asked tentatively: "Do you mean to cooperate with the First Division to attack the Eighth Route Army?"
"No!" Yoshio Iwamatsu shook his head and said sadly, "The Eighth Route Army can just be handed over to the First Division. The task that General Okamura gave me to lure Yan Xishan to surrender has not been completed yet. Yan Xishan has been fighting with me.
Tai Chi, this time we will show him how powerful he is and let him know that the Japanese locust army is not easy to control."
Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't want to attack the Eighth Route Army, after all, he had to pick the weak ones!
