Xiao County.
Xujia Village.
Jizhong Military Region Headquarters.
As orders from the headquarters and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were issued, the headquarters of the Central Hebei Military Region immediately became busy.
All radio stations were turned on, and all scouts were sent out to notify the main forces to assemble as quickly as possible.
The Jizhong Military Region has five military divisions under its jurisdiction, and the main forces are stationed in various places in the form of regiments, battalions, companies and other units.
Within the headquarters.
After receiving the order, District Chief Lu, as well as the political commissar, chief of staff and combat staff, are quickly formulating a combat plan.
The first step is to determine which troops will attack and which troops will stay in the base area in order to determine the next battle plan.
The Japanese 110th Division originally defended the Jizhong area. As the Japanese 110th Division was transferred to attack Niangziguan, only a small number of Japanese security forces and puppet troops were left.
Naturally, the main force of the Jizhong Military Region can also be transferred to poke the eyes of the Japanese attacking Niangziguan.
There is no need to worry about the base area being heavily raided by Japanese and puppet troops.
Even if the headquarters does not order the Jizhong Military Region to poke the devils in the eyes, the Jizhong Military Region is still preparing to launch an offensive in the Jizhong Military Region, and at least take this opportunity to recover a few counties.
To avenge the two Japanese raids.
However, the headquarters ordered the Jizhong Military Region to poke the devils in the ass, just in time to avenge the devils for two raids.
Although the two raids by the Japanese did not damage the vitality of the Jizhong Military Region, many commanders and soldiers died during the raids, and many civilians were massacred by the Japanese.
The soldiers of the Central Hebei Military Region have long wanted to avenge this.
It's just that the Central Hebei Military Region lacks experience in fighting large battles, has poor weapons and equipment, and almost no logistical supplies. Although it wants to kill the enemy, its strength does not allow it.
The new regiment of brotherly troops is willing to provide weapons and ammunition, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Jizhong Military Region.
This gave the Jizhong Military Region the capital to fight the Japanese.
As soon as the first step of the battle plan was finalized, District Chief Lu picked up a porcelain cup and took a sip of it. A telegraph operator from the military region headquarters walked in quickly, holding a telegram in his hand.
"Report to the leader, Commander Li of the new regiment sent a secret message!"
The telegraph operator gave a standard military salute and handed over the telegram in his hand.
District Chief Lu quickly put down the porcelain cup in his hand, took the telegram and read it.
When he read the first telegram, his expression was normal, but when he read the second telegram, District Chief Lu's eyes suddenly opened wide and his eyeballs almost fell out:
"Our Jizhong Military Region is going to get rich!"
The first message was that Li Yunlong asked the Jizhong Military Region to formulate a combat plan on its own, and gave the Jizhong Military Region a combat mission that was not difficult to complete. He was to assemble the main force and complete the receipt of airdrop supplies within seven days, and then rush to Niangziguan.
The buttocks of three Japanese divisions.
I made my own battle plan, completed the mission within seven days, and rushed to Niangziguan to surround and attack the Japanese army with the independent regiment.
It can be said that Li Yunlong only issued a combat mission symbolically.
Even if Li Yunlong did not issue this task, the main force of the Jizhong Military Region would have to rush to Niangziguan within seven days to encircle the three Japanese divisions with the independent regiment.
The second and third messages are lists of airdrop supplies.
The political commissar and chief of staff, as well as all the combat staff who had been watching District Mayor Lu's expression while reading the telegram, suddenly showed curious expressions on their faces.
"How much benefit did Commander Li give to our Jizhong Military Region?"
The political commissar sounded surprised. How many weapons and ammunition were there that actually caused a look of ecstasy on the face of his leader?
"Airdrop supply list."
"5 million rounds of ammunition, 300,000 grenades, 50,000 artillery shells, 800 machine guns, 70,000 steel helmets..."
District Chief Lu read it out one by one. Every time he read it, everyone's eyes became brighter.
Each one of them can make the Jizhong Military Region a huge fortune. With so many weapons and ammunition together, it is a huge fortune for the Jizhong Military Region.
After reading the last article about the equipment of the 1,500 cavalry, wow... there was even more banging in the headquarters.
How poor was the Eighth Route Army?
Take the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region as an example. During the Hundred Regiments War, 36 regiments under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region participated in the battle. During the battle, the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region consumed 260,328 bullets, 17,752 grenades, and 661 artillery shells.
On average, each soldier fires only about 3 rounds of bullets in battle.
Even though the conditions were difficult and there was a huge disparity in military equipment between the two sides, the Eighth Route Army still persisted in fighting.
The Jizhong Military Region is a second-level military region, and the base areas are almost all plain terrain, with no danger to defend. It is often raided by the Japanese and the conditions are even more difficult.
This time, 5 million bullets were obtained at once, which means that each main soldier can get about 100 bullets.
And during the battle, you can call Li Yunlong for airdrop supplies at any time.
The machine gun firepower more than doubled.
The Jizhong Military Region suddenly became a local tycoon army!
"Commander Li is too rich, isn't he?" the political commissar said with emotion.
"Absolutely rich!"
It took the chief of staff a long time to come to his senses:
"However, Captain Li can even handle aircraft and heavy artillery. This small amount of weapons and ammunition should be nothing to him."
If he hadn't seen Commander Li's aircraft provide air support to the Jizhong Military Region last time, the Chief of Staff would not have believed it was true.
Everyone nodded suddenly, feeling relieved quickly.
Commander Li can even take out an airplane, so what are these weapons and ammunition?
This batch of weapons and ammunition is an unimaginable wealth for the Jizhong Military Region, but for Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment, it may be just a little oil and water flowing out from under his fingernails.
The personnel of the Central Hebei Military Region Headquarters, except District Chief Lu, thought that these weapons and ammunition came from northwestern Shanxi.
but.
District Chief Lu didn't point it out. He only heard a few words from the heads of the headquarters when he went to the headquarters for a meeting.
It is said that a mysterious patriotic man named Chen Feng provided assistance to Captain Li. Even he did not know more information.
This is also classified as top secret at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Some officers who were a little uncomfortable with Commander Li nominally commanding the Jizhong Military Region immediately felt their discomfort disappear.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, the New Regiment is just a regiment, and Li Yunlong is just a regiment leader, commanding such a large military region. Although it is an order from the headquarters, there are always people who feel uncomfortable.
Of course, even if I feel uncomfortable, I still have to carry out the orders from the headquarters.
However, these officers did not expect that Commander Li gave too much.
"Let's get this batch of weapons and ammunition first."
"We will receive airdrop supplies in Xiao County, and the place where we receive the airdrops is in Xujiacun."
District Chief Lu suppressed his excitement, stared at the map and said:
"Immediately call Commander Li back and say thank you for the airdrop of supplies. The Jizhong Military Region is ready to receive the airdrop at any time. The location is Xujia Village, Xiao County."
Most areas in Hebei Province have plain terrain, and airdrops can be received anywhere.
However, time is tight and the task is heavy. We need to receive airdrops as soon as possible and then distribute weapons and ammunition to the soldiers. Xujiacun, where the military region headquarters is located, is naturally the best place.
"Yes!" the chief of staff immediately began to prepare a telegram.
"Captain Li has given us so many weapons and ammunition." The political commissar said while the chief of staff was drafting the telegram, "Should we give something to Commander Li in return? Reciprocity is a courtesy."
District Chief Lu thought for a while and felt that what the political commissar said made sense, so he said: "Captain Li is not short of weapons, ammunition, and food. He is even very rich. What can we give Commander Li?"
The political commissar said: "Last time, the communications corpsmen of the New Regiment said that the New Regiment was short of troops. We, the hundreds of thousands of militiamen in the Central Hebei Military Region, selected tens of thousands of good-quality militiamen to give to Commander Li. What do you think?"
"I think it works!"
District Chief Lu's eyes lit up slightly.
Once the Japs in Shanxi are dealt with, the next step is to deal with the Japs in Hebei and Shandong.
By then the New Regiment will be the absolute main force in the counterattack, and the Jizhong Military Region will definitely have to cooperate with the New Regiment to fight the Japanese in the future.
